Gacha Sovereign Chapter 349 Joining

After examining the elemental weapon, he stored it back in his inventory. There was a flaw for an elemental weapon. If they did not have the same affinity, they could not use the elemental weapon to the fullest. It was the same for the people who practiced their sword or their element alone. They would not use it to the fullest potential because it required the mastery of both sword and element.

Alex had mastered both ways, but the problem was he did not have the Ice element. He thought about selling it on the continent. However, even if he wanted to sell it, he would wait until the Grand Tournament had ended. He did not want to strengthen his future opponent by selling it now.

Since he had settled the matter for this weapon, it was the time he fixed these two half-boxes. He took out both of them and saw their appearance.

It was like what he saw in the auction. With the other half of the box, he finally saw what the array was. The array was functioning as the key, but he felt something wrong when he looked at these boxes. The array shape was a bit weird.

The box that Mithra gave him seemed to be the lower part because there were a few symbols on it. On the other hand, the other half cube was full of arrays. These two half-boxes were not cut or something since he thought he could just put them together. And it turned out he was right.

When he put the two half-boxes together, it suddenly stuck together like a magnet. The real box was a cube with a size around his palm. The cube did not have any ornament on it, making it only appear like a normal green box. But when the box finally united together, the array on the half-box that Alex bought earlier suddenly glowed.

Symbols after symbols started appearing on the other half. Alex knew the one who made this box must be higher than the Martial King. After all, something like this could only happen if the Array Master used his soul in creating this box.

It was the same as Zwaka’s special realm, where it would timely open according to the time Zwaka set. The Array in this box would show its true appearance when the box was completed. It seemed Mithra purposely lost this box a few thousand years ago.

She decided to throw the other half, so when the people who chased her managed to get it from her, they would only get half of the box, and they needed to search for the other half again. However, because she managed to kill all her pursuers, the other half only got discovered not long ago.

Alex continued looking at the array transformation. The array finished its transformation in a few seconds, and the box was fully covered with a green array. The array continued glowing like a fully active key.

When Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see this array, he finally saw the cube was sucking the Spiritual Energy nearby to sustain itself.

He examined the full box to see what kind of array it was and was shocked by what he found. “This… is not a rank 6 and not even rank 7… This is a key for rank 8 barrier-type array, Sixth Gate of Aurora. This is one of rank 8 unbreakable barriers as it could prevent any intent and elements.”

He finally could understand why Mithra was chased by so many people for this box. He did not know the power level in the Northern Continent, but he knew a realm that was made for the rank 8 barrier would be full of treasures.

He immediately stored the box inside his space ring. If he came to the Northern Continent, he would be super careful with this box. And he might need to hide this from Song Yu later.

After settling everything again, he went to the full Alchemist mode. He started refining the crystal skin pills one by one for a whole week.

He already got the hang of his new alchemy technique, so he tried to make it with two furnaces. His mental energy was capable of doing that, and his output would be twice as much after he got used to the technique.

…

Five days later,

Alex was in the last refining process for the last two sets of Crystal Skin pill ingredients. He was trying to merge the ingredients and formed them into pills. And not long after,

“Condense!”

Two pink pills came out from both of his furnaces. Alex stored them and let out a deep breath, “Finally finish.”

After noticing that, Anna immediately came to him. “Alex, what are you going to do now?”

“Hmm… I have been refining non-stop for five days. So, tell me all the updates, I guess.” Alex said.

Anna nodded. “Because the information you gave to that princess, it seems they immediately made a countermeasure for the Zhou Kingdom. They also seemed to have information about the Blood Pill and Berserk Pill, so they wanted to finish the war as soon as possible.

“But Zhou Kingdom still managed to massacre a few big cities before the army from Thiveapia Kingdom came. Anya and the others managed to kill eighty percent of the people that tried to make the blood pills. However, as expected of them, the moment they realized that, they tried to put a layer of protection for the people who were responsible for the pill.

“At first they put a few Martial Lords to accompany them, but our group managed to kill them pretty easily… until they finally put around twenty Martial Lords to accompany them with a few high-level Martial Lords along with a thousand peak Martial Grandmasters.

“It was a bit impossible to kill all of them, so Anya and the others were trying to come up with a plan to take one at a time. But for the time being, they are hiding.”

Alex pondered it a little. It seemed they had known the existence of Blood Pill and Berserk Pill. The Southern Kingdom must have spread the information to this kingdom, or maybe they only gave the information to Mount Hua Sect so they could research it.

And since they established an alliance with the Thiveapia Kingdom. They told this information to the Thiveapia Kingdom.

Alex asked, “How many people were responsible for the pills?”

“They had fifty people. We have killed forty of them. Should we ask Anya to kill them with True Spirit Body?” Anna asked.

But from the look of it, they could only prevent the front soldiers as even if they made a detachment to kill the people that Anya and the groups were targeting. They would not have enough people to do that.

So, they could only kill the people in the front first before destroying the people in the back.

“I see. Twenty Martial Lords with a thousand peak Martial Grandmasters… with ten of them, we have taken two hundred Martial Lords together with the ten thousand Martial Grandmasters out of this war.

“No, Anya and the others don’t need to move. They are already helpful enough just by glaring at the Zhou Kingdom from behind.

“Zhou army would only have a few high-level Martial Lords as of now since most of them were in their back. Their grandmaster stage soldiers were also the same. So, the Thiveapia Kingdom should be able to handle the rest of the soldiers.

“This is the perfect time for me, you, and Leoz to strike them. We will try to kill as many as possible but we might get a lesser EXP than we expected since most of their peak fighters were in the back. Well, we can just beat the quality with quantity.”

“Yes. Anya also said that.” Anna nodded. “She said we could get more EXP after we destroyed the front army. Since her group was glaring at them, the Zhou soldiers could not go back casually as they might get ambushed by them.”

“How about the Thiveapia Kingdom? How many soldiers they sent?”

“Because of early preparation, they managed to gather around a hundred thousand soldiers to fight the Zhou Kingdom. But because of the blood pill, Thiveapia Kingdom is weaker. Fortunately, Anya is glaring at their back and forcing them to send reinforcement to the back. I could say both armies are currently equal.

Alex nodded. “What about Evelyn? How is her condition?”

“Evelyn is leading a special group, with a thousand Martial Grandmasters. She was roaming around to make a mess with the Zhou Army. She even got a nickname such as battle princess… fufu… We can tease her with this later.” Anna chuckled.

“How about the enemy position?”

“They are four cities away in the north. It is a big plain and we might not be able to hide around the woods. So, the only option for us is to confront them head-on. And it seems there is no Mercenary camp like the Southern Kingdom, so if we join the battle, we will become something like a third force.”

“I don’t mind that. We will attack the Zhou Soldiers from afar. I am sure the Zhou Kingdom will make a detachment to kill us. And with our number, they should not send many soldiers to us, maybe around a hundred or two hundred with a few Martial Lords.

“It should not be a problem for us with our current cultivation. But there is a possibility that the Thiveapia Kingdom will send their troops to us even though we are clearly killing the Zhou Soldiers. If they really come, we will also kill all of them. Do I need to know anything else?”

Anna paused a little bit before saying, “Their Supreme Commander… I mean, Thiveapia Kingdom’s supreme commander for this war is that Crown Prince. And from the look of it, he wanted to do something to us. But because of this war, he could only postpone it for a while. But if we show ourselves in the war, he…”

Alex frowned when he heard that as this might be a bit troublesome. The crown prince must hate them because he bought those two items. If they truly showed up in the war, it might not be a possibility anymore but a certain matter. The crown prince will send the army to kill him.

“If he truly wants to kill us, we will leave no one alive,” Alex said coldly.

“Understood.”

“Call Leoz here, we are going right now.”

“Yes.” Anna nodded.

Alex immediately set off toward the battlefield. And with their current distance, Alex finally arrived after a few hours of flying. Even though Anna said ‘it was only four cities away,’ the distance for each city was no joke.

Alex needed more than an hour just to meet the next city. When they arrived, Alex could see the clash between the two armies. It was truly a no joke.

After getting crushed by the Southern Kingdom, it seemed the Zhou Kingdom did not split their force to half once again. They marched toward this place and conquered every city they could with that massive army.

Because of that, the Thiveapia Kingdom had enough time to make a countermeasure and so on. Alex could also see the Crown Prince that was leading the army.

When they arrived near the battlefield, the crown prince and the Zhou Kingdom noticed him.

Even though they had different purposes, they sent a hundred two hundred Martial Grandmasters along with two Grandmasters. The Zhou Kingdom was thinking about killing him while the crown prince was thinking about exhausting him so he could kill him. So this troop was only a bait for Alex so the crown prince could justify his action in attacking him.

“Rea-!” Before Alex finished, a notification from the system appeared.

[Host, Nicole is calling you.]

He was startled to see the sudden notification from the system. He immediately took out Nicole’s card.

“Young Master. A big problem! Evelyn is in danger!”
