The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 26: Quantification and Conspiracies! I

As the busyness ensued.

In a small tent among many inside the Barracks that were used for sleeping, two figures sat within.

One was Alexander as he sat down with his eyes closed, his senses expanded out for a mile in all directions as he covered a lot of the Inner Barracks and Outer Barracks around the Breach tearing apart the sky and earth!

His senses were fully expanded through the Ice King Gem Recipe as currently, he was fishing.

He was fishing for anything abnormal around these Barracks as another Airship carrying the remaining newly Awakened Gem Masters was setting off, and the Barracks were gradually becoming more and more secure as a calm was coming after a heavy battle.

With his senses stretched out, he wanted to see whether the idea of someone spreading information about their entry into the Jungle Grounds was still here- and if they would do so again.

With his senses stretched out, he could clearly feel the figure of Claire sitting opposite him, her blue eyes blinking with a sense of calmness as she currently chewed on rations they found within this tent.

She seemed to be spacing out thinking about who knew what, but he couldn’t help but notice the curves of her lips every time she chewed.

The way her nose wrinkled ever so often as she seemed to be thinking of something complex.

Her deeply blue eyes that were a rarity within the Asmodeus Bloodline being so bright that he could swear some of their radiance was spreading out in front of them.

Her...

’Hmm?’

Alexander quickly shook himself out of this trance as he refocused.

There wasn’t any time to entertain other thoughts at times like these when their lives were in danger and they were still in the dark about many things!

On the topmost right side of this radiant Enneagram, he saw two dazzling rectangular bars enlarged from one side until the halfway point of the Enneagram.

The top rectangular bar was a dazzling red color while the bottom one shone with a gorgeous blue hue!

And at the ends of these bars, numerical values began to manifest.

[The current value of Vigor is determined to be 898/898.]

[The current value of Energeia is determined to be 677/811.]

...!

A quantification of his values came!

His levels of Energeia were still recovering from the recent battle, and his Vitality- his Vigor was unaffected and remained full.

The values were great to see, but something to put them into a little bit more context...

[The casting of the ability of Ice Wave with its current Support Gems has been analyzed to have a cost of 5 Energeia, while the usage of the ability of Corrupted Lightning Manipulation can range from 15-30, or even higher depending on the selected output.]

The cost for Corrupted Lightning Manipulation was much higher than Ice Wave.

This could of course be attributed to the fact that unlike the Ice King Gem Recipe, the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe did not have the [Energy Preservation Support] added to it, and it was of course, of higher rarity.

This issue caused Alexander to wish to finalize the remaining three Support Ability Gems to be placed into the remaining available sockets of the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe.

He had gone through dozens of Support Ability Gems and gotten the chance to view some unique Main Ability Gems from the Two-Link and Three-Link Black Furred Gorillas he had looted, which when added to the Support Ability Gems he kept behind from the treasure chest his father had given him...he had a wide array of choices on how the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe could be made even more fearsome!

After deliberating in the last hour and finally arriving where he was right now, he finally picked the three he would utilize for this Gem Recipe...
