They landed on the Third Sacred Gold Mound of the Sacred Mountain that appeared from Carthage!
When Alexander saw the golden words that floated in front of them, he felt an eerie sensation of power and solemnity as he looked around carefully.
Everything around them seemed to have a golden influence on it.
Green gold trees, green gold leaves.
Gold sand.
It felt far too foreign.
The surroundings had an intense concentration of gold Energeia flowing that caused the pores of his body to open greedily and suck everything in- his regeneration of lifeforce that much faster.
“Ascendant Master, this…!” Read new chapters at empire
Anastasia and the others were shocked as they looked around.
“Marvelous…this…this is a grand Covenant…” Meanwhile, the Night Walker was dazed as his flaming head looked around.
Alexander’s senses spread out as everything within a few miles fell under his gaze, but he didn’t even need to use his eyes as after they arrived in this small floating circular world that was called a Mound, they felt a pull towards a certain location on it!
This pull…was from the so called Sacred Key they had to obtain in order to gain ownership of the Third Sacred Mound.
If he gained all the keys and ownership of 13 Sacred Mounds, he would gain ownership of the Sacred Gold Mountain as it was stated that only through a domain like this would one survive what was to come!
Alexander thought of his father outside of this mountain as he looked towards Claire who stayed close to him while marveling at the sights around them.
He felt the location of the pull where the Sacred Key should be as there, he could sense terrifying auras of power.
His eyes became increasingly calm.
He knew what he needed to do, and so, he could only move forward to do so.
HUUM!
Behind him, another silver rift opened as in addition to an Abyss Knight, A Night Walker, and a Vigor Flayer Lich…the fourth Undead to be summoned was another variation of an Abyss Knight.
This one seemed old and withered, with its body looking like a mummy as its eyes were bright gray flames!
It bent its head towards Alexander who simply nodded back as once more, nobody as special as Jujugan was summoned.
He looked at the slightly apprehensive Claire who was looking at everything with wonder along with the rest of his forces as he felt his Energeia dip below 100,000 once more after the recent summon, his eyes turning sharp as he began to float ahead.
“We finally have a chance to understand what is really happening with Ephesus and these Sacred Mountains. If we need to gain ownership, then we gain ownership! The so-called Sacred Key will likely be surrounded by Tier 9 Mutated Gem Chimeras. Wipe them out as quickly as possible!”
His commanding voice boomed out, and his forces followed his orders!
Minions on one side, and Undead on the other.
He took Claire and returned within the Bone Dragon just to be safe as his small army moved forward speedily!
Past the gorgeous golden earth and trees.
Towards the area where an oppressive sense of power rose out!
It didn’t take too long for them to cross over 100 miles on this Third Sacred Mound, the trees around them thinning as they saw the land rising to form a small golden mountain.
Around this golden mountain, tendrils of pure gold Energiea flowed as the blazing auras of nine Emperors blazed like dazzling flames.
Emperors.
They seemed on par if not more powerful than the Nine Tailed Tier 9 Mutated Gem Chimera they had already turned into an undead, the eyes of all of these powerful beasts turning towards them with a sense of malice!
What they protected…was a dazzling gem that looked like a ring of golden light.
A golden gem in the form of a ring that floated and spun at the peak of this small golden mountain!
Alexander observed such a phenomenon calmly as with nine Tier 9 Emperors guarding this place, it was hard to say if any single Emperor alone could have taken care of them.
Unless someone had attained the Ruler Stage or was close to it, taking on this Sacred Mound was nearly impossible!
And then, there was Alexander.
He looked at the variations of beasts.
A Mammoth. An Ape. An Eagle. An Anaconda!
Variations of such Beasts roared out towards them at this moment as Alexander rose up while waving his hands- sending his forces towards them.
Two Abyss Knights, A Vigor Flayer Lich and his growing Undead Legion, and a Knight Walker.
BOOM!
Deathly energies erupted as the Night Walker took charge and erupted with waves of coldness, three Tier 9 Beasts being pulled towards him with the terrifying level of power he possessed and the palpable reach towards the Covenant of Water that he held!
The Abyss Knights took an Emperor each, and so did the Vigor Flayer Lich as instantly, six of the nine Mutated Gem Chimeras were occupied- either being embroiled in a fight that took them off the small mountain or were forcefully pushed away.
Thereafter, the Undead Nine Tailed Emperor leading the Legion of the Vigor Flayer Lich led other Undead to capture the roaring attention of another Emperor!
Vishpala and Anastasia both led half of the Minions here to match the remaining two Tier 9 Emperors as fantastically…all enemies faced a combatant without Alexander lifting a finger.
On the small mountain, dazzling abilities bloomed as the Ability Gems on the chests or other parts of the body radiated light, multiple elements clashing.
But none of this was the most important thing to Alexander’s eyes as during this chaos…
“Wait for me.” He whispered to Claire.
And then…
BOOM!
He finally made a move as moving at the millionth the speed of light, he turned into a crimson streak that instantly shot up the mountain.
…!
By the time the entangled Tier 9 Emperors even felt his ascent, they could only turn around and bellow as he was already past the halfway point!
SAA!
Like a crimson streak of light, he instantly appeared on top of the small golden mountain as he reached out and grasped onto a dazzling ringed gold gem.
All he had to do was obtain the key.
There was nowhere that stated that all Beasts defending the small mountain had to be killed before he obtained it!
