The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 16: Bobo! I



"Ah…"

The rising bows and long ranged attacks that were being prepared by many faltered.

At the center of the Gem Masters, the black-furred Gorilla actually had its lips twist into a cruel smile as its fist smashed onto its chest, bursts of crimson tendrils of lightning erupting from its body and tearing apart the surrounding earth as a blast was sent out in all directions.

ROAAR!

The bodies of most Gem Masters were flung back like ragdolls.

The Three-Link Gem Masters were in better states as their robust life force protected them somewhat, but even they felt their bodies rocked to their core!

And to make things worse, in the ruptured skies above, other roars could be heard as dozens of black furred creatures began to rush out of the Breach.

Their eyes glowed crimson, and either on their chests or backs, Two or Three Life Sockets released astounding radiance.

It was a hellish scene that changed everything far too quickly, a scene that changed a safe Tier 1 Breach into something unthinkable!

And at the center of it all seemed to be the newly Awakened Five-Link Gem Master; with the roaring Four-Link Black Furred Gorilla honing its eyes on her figure and the figure of Alexander that actually evaded its attack earlier.

With a flicker of crimson radiance over its black fur, it ignored everyone else and kicked off the earth below it, surging towards their two figures that were still smashing backwards.

What was most horrifying was the speed its massive body had- the gap between them rapidly being closed as great peril was waiting ahead!

Just what was this? Just what had gone wrong?!

Her heart felt like it was about to explode.

By the time she blinked when she followed Alexander's gaze to the skies, she could already see the massive hand of the Black Furred Gorilla right before her eyes.

Her senses barely kept up as her power wasn't able to move so quickly!

But luckily, she felt his hands.

His protective hands.

They wrapped around her as a moment later, Alexander released a burst of cold white light that flung both of them away from the grasp of the terrifying beast.

No sooner had they smashed into a tree that stopped their advance, the Beast was already cruising towards them again, the earth splintering beneath its feet as tall trees became torn as if they were paper!

Its sheer pressure was so suffocating that Claire barely managed to force her life force to move, but before she could activate anything, this beast was already on top of them again.

This was when she came to a realization.

This was truly a Beast of Corruption.

The snakes they were fighting just before were absolutely nothing!

In such a perilous situation, amidst her very own life force moving sluggishly, she felt her body pushed back as Alexander stepped in front of her.

Directly in the path of the massive oncoming beast!

"No…!" Claire cried out as lightning finally began to gather around her, but at this time, she saw a stellar scene.

The temperature around them dropped drastically.

And with Alexander as the origin, a tremendous wave of white blue glacial Frost erupted outwards, freezing everything in its path as it shockingly slowed and covered the massive figure of the Black Furred Gorilla entirely.

Its massive body became encased in what looked like a glacier as after this, Alexander flicked his hand up!

The waves of glacial ice wrapping around the massive beast then exploded as its figure was actually flung towards the skies, its fur remaining frozen as in the skies, a glass shard spun above its head.

The face of the Black Furred Gorilla showed tremendous shock and surprise as it gazed down below.

But the glass shard spinning above its head exploded moments later, a gush of freezing cold waves of light wrapping around it again as its massive body became covered entirely with ice and frost!

Like a glacier floating in the sky.

But it didn't stay like that for long as Claire saw from the corner of her eyes…the fingers on Alexander's right hand flick down.

BOOM!

An explosive sound of shattering ice echoed out as a terrifying force smashed the massive body of the Black Furred Gorilla back for the green earth below, an impact booming out as the entire region raged with icy cold waves of light.

The earth held an icy indentation as within it, the body of the Black Furred Gorilla could be seen.

And yet at this moment, a gash leaking crimson blood was present on its shoulder- this blood freezing into icy streams soon after as an immense silence followed.

The crimson eyes of the Black Furred Gorilla glared with shock towards Alexander.

Claire stared with shock and stupefaction towards Alexander!

In the distance, the distraught figures of Gem Master Azazel and others who were bleeding stared with their jaws flung wide open.

In another direction, amidst the cluster of newly Awakened Gem Masters, many lay bleeding with bruises and broken limbs as among them, Charlie fell to his knees amidst his shock and fear as he stared at the progression of events that had just occurred between Alexander and the massive Black Furred Gorilla.

This…was Alexander?

This was his Defective Life Socket?!

His Gem Recipe was a straightforward one.

The Main Ability Gem of Ice Wave supported by [Energy Preservation Support], [Frost Energy Support], [Frost Infiltration Support], [Elemental Discipline Support], and [Explosive Surge Support].

The addition and compound effects of the last three Support Ability Gems added to this recipe was what made the ridiculous output of power that Alexander just unleashed on the Four-Link Black Furred Gorilla possible!

[Frost Infiltration Support]:: Any Ability Gem relating to cold or frost can be supported by this Support Ability Gem. The Linked Ability is capable of ignoring 90% of the defenses relating to cold or ice within the target, and has a 100% chance of freezing the target. 

[Elemental Discipline Support]: Any Ability Gem relating to the elements can be supported by this Support Ability Gem. When applicable, the supported Ability will trigger for a second time on the same enemy if there are no other targets nearby. If other targets are near, the supported Ability will trigger onto a maximum of three other targets. 

[Explosive Surge Support]:: Any Ability Gem relating to the elements can be supported by this Support Ability Gem. The Linked Ability has its Damage Output increased by a factor of 4, and will activate an Explosive Surge of Elements under your directional control on any immobilized targets by gathering the released Elemental energy and exploding it with three times the damage.

A layering of ridiculous effects and increased damage outputs.

What made the current reality possible!
