The Empyreal Gem Master

Anastasia was more in a stupor than anything else.

Having seen the figure of Vishpala, her eyes had lit up as she only observed the crimson winged human flying slightly behind her briefly.

She had to know what had occurred, and even why she was here alone without her Commanders or army.

The Ascendant Stronghold she was supposed to attack seemed to be on high alert, but it was left untouched.

So she had tracked the movements of her army towards another direction entirely as before she could get there, here was Vishpala!

And the next thing to happen…

BOOM!

Was her receiving a heavy impact as the Vishpala in front of her disappeared, her figure speedingly appearing above as she released a heavy attack on the back of Anastasia that flung her towards the ground.

…!

It was such a shock that her brain barely registered when her massive body smashed onto the barren earth!

The bones on her back were actually shattered as she felt great pain, and she couldn't even open her wings as she looked up towards Vishpala with pain and hurt in her eyes.

Above, Vishpala had on a frustrated expression as she waved her hands, translucent glass like chains appearing as they were flung towards the ground to lock down Anastasia.

Seeing this, Anastasia felt even more pain as her massive body flickered with radiance, instantly becoming smaller as she evaded the massive bindings that were coming down.

The visage of a curvaceous bleeding woman appeared where she was, her back caved in unnaturally as she gazed up- only to find Vishpala right in front of her, her figure ready to strike!

But she came to a halt when she saw the eyes welling up with tears in front of her.

Her hurt shuddered with pain and betrayal as Anastasia didn't even fight back.

She only looked towards Vishpala while tears of hurt flowed and asked.

"Sis Vishpala…why?"

Anastasia looked tender.

They had grown up together.

Anastasia was a genius fostered by her Lineage as over the years, they had become as close as sisters.

For her to do what she did…

Vishpala contained the pain in her heart as she waved her hands and caused chains of translucent restraints to appear and wrap around Anastasia before she asked icily.

"Is this enough?"

…!

Her words caused Anastasia's watery eyes to widen as in front of her, the figure of the young human who was in the skies appeared with a flash of crimson light.

His body seemed to currently be brimming with waves of increasing life force as he nodded while looking at the seven Gem Sockets on Anastasia with shining eyes.

"More than enough."

The words filled with command only caused Anastasia to be more shocked as at this moment, she finally noticed the crown on the head of this human.

She recognized it clearly.

The Gem Armament that Vishpala was given!

For him to wear it, for Vishpala to attack her and act this way towards him…

"You…" Anger rose in the heart of Anastasia as she looked towards Alexander as if she were looking at a demon.

"What did you do to Sis Vishpala?! Do you know her status? What did you do to force her to attack her own kind?"

…!

Her words caused Vishpala's face to simmer with defiance and pain as she looked towards Alexander as if he had stripped her of everything!

Anastasia saw this scene as her green hair nearly burst into flames, her fair skin frowning and becoming stern as she looked between Alexander and Vishpala who couldn't even say anything regarding this current situation.

"You…did you strip her of her dignity? Do you push her down and have your way with her because of her high status? Did you-"

SMACK!

A hand slapped the left cheeks of Anastasia as Vishpala looked towards her with shame and incredulity.

Seeing this, Anastasia was even more convinced as she looked towards Alexander coldly.

"I see, you really mounted one of the Princesses of the Peacock Lineage? Do you know what they'll do to yo-"

SMACK!

Another slap came from Vishpala as both of the fair cheeks of Anastasia became red.

"Can you…shut up?" Vishpala looked coldly towards this Sister of hers whose head was always in the wrong places, and she somehow always found the worst possible words to say.

Vishpala turned towards Alexander as she shook her head and sighed.

"Can you just…do it so we can get it over with?"

She wanted this whole exchange to be over as in front of them, Anastasia scoffed while she glared at a calm Alexander.

"You have her entirely under your thumb after mounting her a few times? Let me tell you, I won't break down so eas-"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Vishpala's fists hounded down onto Anastasia's figure until she couldn't speak anymore.

She glared towards Alexander, whose chest shone with a golden light that went on to wrap around Anastasia, with Vishpala yelling out towards her.

"Do not resist!"

She had enough of this girl's words as she commanded with anger.

After this, the light around Anastasia only became more pronounced as soon enough, her bloodied figure began to heal as a terrifying boom of life force erupted from her!

Green gold brilliance vibrated around her as the restraints wrapping around her body disappeared, her face becoming even more flawless with her curves ever so pristine as she looked with great shock towards Alexander!

"I see…"

As if she had understood, she looked between Alexander and Vishpala as she nodded.

"So this is how you did it…you bound her like this, and after she couldn't deny your commands, you mounted her over and ove-"

BOOM!

A strike at the speed of a Millionth the speed of light thundered out without mercy this time onto Anastasia, the frustrated figure of Vishpala releasing some of her anger onto her as within moments, she found a unique gem that was attached to the hips of Anastasia that she plucked away.

She then came towards Alexander while holding this gem.

"I can transmit whatever message you want through this Thoughtweaver Gem. What am I saying to the forces of the Beast Lords wanting to know what happened to my army?"

Her words were those of someone who wanted to get it over with as she gave a threatening glare towards a healing Anastasia to not say any more stupid words!

Yet this woman was relentless.

"So you have already conquered her heart…but I won't be so easy-"

BOOM!
