Chereads / INSIGNIA : The Starlight bearer / Chapter 26 - They Got it

Chapter 26 - They Got it

Using his memory from seeing some parts of the glyph's shape, he began to string the glyph's shape in his memory. He was only able to assemble 80% of the perfect shape of the glyph, because many parts were not visible, covered by other glyphs.

He had tried to study the glyph covering the glyph, but the result was the same as before. All glyphs are tightly connected, studying one glyph means having to study all of them at once.

Astrum opened his eyes, in front of him, Stella and Sidius had put on faces full of hope.

"How? You got it?" Sidius asked first.

Astrum answered by drawing the shape of the glyph on the rock. Unlike before, he didn't cast the glyph. Sidius watched this in confusion.

After he finished drawing the glyph, he gave it to Stella.

"Auntie, I found this glyph form appearing several times. But it's not in its perfect form because this glyph is deep in the array."

Stella took the picture of the glyph and looked at it. He tried to recall from his knowledge of the glyphs, but he couldn't find any.

"I can't cast this glyph because it isn't complete yet and it seems that this glyph needs Aunt Stella's power to cast" Astrum intends for Stella to cast the glyph.

Then Stella tried to charge her energy into the glyph image. The glyph reacted by emitting a cyan glow. Stella touched the glyph and her consciousness entered the glyph. Seeing this, Sidius was curious about the glyph.

"Astrum, please draw the glyph shape one more time. I want to try to use my energy"

Astrum drew another glyph and handed it to Sidius. Sidius tried to charge his energy into the glyph but did nothing as if the glyph wasn't a star glyph at all.

"Looks like this glyph is specifically for Stella"

At this time Stella's body began to be enveloped by light, it wasn't long before she opened her eyes. Sidius was surprised to see Stella because what was expected did not happen. Usually, after they study the glyphs purified by Astrum, they will gain enlightenment and level up. The signs that occurred earlier were signs of enlightenment but Stella's level had not increased.

"I got a little enlightenment from this glyph, but maybe because it's not perfect I feel like I can't break through" Stella answered Sidius' confusion.

"Auntie, can't we give it a try?"

"Alright, with the enlightenment I just felt I could increase the power of my talent."

After a while, Astrum summoned the group of Beastros who possessed Insignia. Bi, Hiru, and Daal were already present in front of Sidius and Stella. They bowed respectfully and awaited orders from Sidius and Stella.

"You guys know about glyphs?" Astrum asked them first.

"Glyphs? What do you mean by Lord Astrum is a Star glyph?" It was Hiru who answered his question.

"Yes, Star glyph. A glyph capable of increasing the power of a star power user"

"We know a little about Star Glyph, we saw Commander Thiberry use it"

"Have you ever tried using it?"

"Ha? Of course not. Star Glyph is a special language of the Starian race, we dare not try it"

"Hah? Special language?" Astrum was confused by Hiru's answer.

"Astrum, what Hiru said is not wrong. The glyph is a special language belonging to the Starian race, not all Insignias get a chance to learn it" Stella answered.

"Why?"

"It is very rare for the Starians to provide guidance to Insiginas, generally Insignias are only self-taught to use star power."

"Why?" Astrum grew curious.

"The Starians don't interact directly with Insignias, we have rules within our race"

"Astrum, you are so magical and lucky. You can study glyphs without Insignia and you are also lucky to have our guidance. Now let's get back to the experiment you wanted to do."

"Oh yes, I had forgotten"

"Auntie, can we start now?"

The Beastros group was nervous about what would happen, they were asked to gather in the middle of the field.

Stella started to draw glyphs in the air, the glyph shone a brilliant cyan light. Then the glyph expands and divides into several glyphs. The glyphs formed the same array as Astrum saw in his consciousness space.

Among these arrangements, there is a glyph that Astrum drew earlier. This time the glyph seemed brighter than before. Each glyph emitted a thread of light and connected to each other.

The group of Beastros sensed the star energy shooting towards them. They were bound by the threads of light, fused together into a glyph array. They felt something different inside of them, their energy center spinning very fast. The vortex formed large branches towards their heads.

Astrum was currently using his perception to read the energy flow of the Beastros group. He realized that their previous energy center had only four branches, to their hands and feet. There are no branches leading to their heads. Right now there was a branch forming from the energy center towards their heads.

Not long after, the energy branch touched their brains. The Beastros group experienced something that had never happened to them, there was a huge pressure coming from their heads. The brains of those who get the flow of star energy slowly expand. At this moment the Beastros group seemed to have lost consciousness, their eyes turning white with their heads tilted up and staring blankly at the sky.

The asterisk lines on their bodies shone brightly. Especially Bi and Hiru who have undergone a transformation thanks to the Growth Fruits. Their streak of light was thicker than Daal's.

Currently, Stella was controlling the Glyph array, her body and eyes glowing a bright cyan. ULTRAS streaks appear and also glow. Sidius also felt a surge of energy in his body, he felt ULTRAS streaks would also appear. Realizing this, Sidius lowered his defenses and allowed the ULTRAS marks to appear on his body.

Soon the situation calmed down, all the light dimmed and returned to their respective bodies. Stella's Glyph Array began to fade. By now Stella and Sidius had awakened first, but the Beastros were still in a state like losing consciousness.

"Stella, you feel it?"

Stella nodded at Sidius' question, and said: "It seems the ULTRAS powers are mutually reinforcing."

They realized something from the process, the ULTRAS powers on their bodies seemed to coalesce and strengthen one another.

"I never found a complete record of the power of ULTRAS. Looks like fellow ULTRAS can strengthen." Stella realized there were still many ULTRAS abilities that she didn't understand.

"Auntie, are they all right?" Astrum looked worried about the condition of the Beastros.

"I don't know, I've never done anything like this. Usually stimulating evolution to a simple form does not take long. Let's wait a moment."

"No need to worry, I feel there is something good out of this" Suddenly Thea's voice sounded in Astrum's consciousness

"Shss, don't make any suspicious moves. I don't want them to know where I am." Thea's voice appeared again. Astrum saw that there were roots on his legs, he realized that Thea was communicating with him using these roots.

"You try to use your perception, notice that at this time they are experiencing an evolution on the side of their mind"

Astrum used his perception towards the Beastros, he saw that the newly formed energy branch had stabilized even though it was very thin. He decided to wait and see what would happen.

It had already been an hour and the Beastros were still in such a state. The Astrum group was still waiting patiently for the results to come out.

Gradually the consciousness of the Beastros returned, they opened their eyes. Sensing that something had changed within them, they looked around with amazement. It was as if they had just seen the world.

In their eyes, they see that their environment is filled with currents of energy, each plant emitting its own energy. Their horizons opened and expanded, looking towards Sidius and Stella. They saw Sidius and Stella's bodies emit a very strong light aura and there were energy centers that formed energy flows throughout the body. They could see Stella and Sidius' energy bodies.

Looking towards Astrum, they saw Astrum's body emitting a strong and subtle light. In contrast to Sidius and Stella, the aura Astrum emitted glowed a transparent white but there was no energy center that formed the body. What they saw was that there was a body of light that was larger than Astrum's body.

The power of perception!

this is the first time they feel it. As Beastros, they were previously only able to use star power to increase their attack and defense. This time they were already able to use the power of perception.

Stella and Sidius realized that the Beastros were using their powers of perception. They realized that these Beastros reached an unprecedented level.

"It is the power of perception" Sidius calmed the amazement of those who were engrossed in using this new ability.

"Perception power?" Hiru realized that this is Starian's ability.
