A single Ruler’s Gem was absorbed, and his progress jumped from 10% to 16%!
Alexander looked at this in a daze as mechanically, the Enneagram continued the process and removed all remaining 11 Ruler’s Gems- beginning their absorption as only a single Covenant was focused on at this moment.
Gold.
Gold!
HUUM!
Claire was just arriving in the area where Alexander and the Undead Minions who dragged the three corpses of the Dragons were when she saw that around Alexander, a palpable grandeur of Gold was rising.
It wasn’t just light.
At this moment, she could swear that she saw liquid gold surrounding Alexander as paired with his gold robes, he seemed like someone who was so far out of reach.
He gave her the same Covenant of Gold. And yet, why did his seem so pure? So much more powerful?
She was astonished at the scene as what she and others couldn’t see was the rapid jump in percentages within Alexander’s mind.
||The rate of understanding of the Covenant of Gold has increased by 6%.||
||The rate of understanding of the Covenant of Gold has increased by 6%.||
||The rate of understanding of the Covenant of Gold has…||
On and on!
This number rapidly scaled upwards until an explosion of liquid gold radiance seethed around Alexander, his surroundings seeming utterly otherworldly as if he was a lone being surrounded by rivers of gold.
||Your Understanding of the Covenant of Gold has reached 82%.||
…!
82%! A shred away from complete understanding of this Covenant, and he could then assimilate it into himself!
He opened his eyes.
He saw the pristine gold rivers around him, and he felt like he had unlocked a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding Gold.
What he could do with it now was ten times what he could do before.
If he faced the three Dragons he killed before at this moment…he wouldn’t even need that fused form as he could slow them down and overcome their authority to turn their very bodies into gold in a short period of time!
This was how large the disparity was between those who had a great understanding of a Covenant, and those who didn’t.
It also meant that Sky and Void Rulers were truly not to be messed with!
His expression was calm and stern at the same time as he thought about The Silver Ruler of Space who was commanding Dragons an unknown distance from here.
He didn’t know how many hours would pass before his understanding of the Covenant of Gold, boosted by the Core Feature of the Reformer of the Enneagram, would reach 100%.
But until then, he had to remain low key!
Of course…there was another method he could use to speed things up even more, albeit it was a little more riskier.
He thought for a few more seconds before he sent his thoughts to the Enneagram and asked it.
“How does the risk compare to the potential boons?”
He asked.
And the Enneagram answered!
||The risk is minimal while the rewards are going to be exponential with the progression of events that may happen. Proceeding with this has a chance of generating tremendous benefit, and will allow the smooth demarcation of the domain of the Sacred Gold Mountain- with the set of actions also acting as a deterrent and a warning to all others.||
A plan he slowly thought of and presented to the Enneagram.
At this moment, the Enneagram analyzed and showed off probabilities, risks, and benefits as after this, Alexander chose to proceed!
“Hu…” He breathed out pure gold light as he rose to the air and savored the sensation of what the Covenant of Gold truly meant, his voice echoing out commandingly soon after as it traveled across his few lines of connections and towards a certain Blue Dragon.
Polet!
“Leave the Sacred Gold Mountain. Make a return towards the region where the Sky Ruler and his forces are. Remain in the periphery and recruit a minimum of three Dragons to come back with you to take down two Human Rulers you found- exactly like that little dead dragon who had the Covenant of Fear did.”
…!
The plan he thought of for an even quicker advancement of his understanding of the Covenant of Gold.
What the Black Dragon did, he wanted to replicate himself!
Hearing his command, Polet shuddered as this command did not just go to it alone.
“You too, Balasa.”
…!
The Three Headed Red Dragon that was also given the command to patrol the Sacred Gold Mountain received the same command- these two dragons gazing at each other dozens of miles away and feeling a sense of trepidation as their new Master…seemed to be very twisted and vile!
They could only flap their wings as they disappeared towards the fog surrounding the Sacred Gold Mountain.
Where they used to be, Undead Minions arose to guard and patrol around the Sacred Gold Mountain.
Back within the mountain itself, Alexander looked around with a light of ingenuity as he spoke towards the astonished Claire behind him.
“Can you call over your Father and mine here? Let’s give them the respect they deserve for helping bring us where we are now…”
As he purposefully hatched a plan to have more Dragons brought over, he looked at the Corpses of three Rulers that could be utilized to propel those close to him to even greater heights.
Listening to his words, Claire only nodded quickly before she disappeared in a flash of gold blue light!
His body pulsed as it drew back in all the rivers of gold light, his mind buzzing as he looked at the changes to his lifeforce while he neared complete understanding of a single Covenant of Nature.
