Chapter 27 - Insignias Oath

"Looks like it worked, Let's try to train them using basic glyphs" Stella smiled seeing this result.

The Beastros were still confused by what had happened. Stella printed some glyphs on the bare rock and gave them to them. They took it and stared at the glyph in bewilderment.

"What should we do with this?" Hiru asked in surprise.

"Try to learn it"

"Studying glyphs? How to?"

"Incorporate your star power into the glyph"

They try to channel their stellar energy into the glyph. They were currently able to see streams of energy flowing from their bodies into the glyphs. But when the energy flows into the glyph, the energy doesn't blend as well as water and oil.

"I can't combine these energies, they don't seem to match each other." This time it was Bi who answered.

Stella looked at this phenomenon with a bit of confusion, she guessed maybe the glyphs didn't match the BeasTros. Then he asked Sidius to give them basic glyphs. However the same thing happened, they were unable to incorporate their energy into the glyphs.

"Maybe this evolution isn't perfect" Stella argued after doing a brief analysis.

"Why not use the Green Glyph? Maybe it will suit them. After all, it's the Green Starian Race who's used to the Beastros." Astrum provides the analysis.

"Alright, let's take them to Thea"

"No need, I've already learned some glyphs from Thea."

Astrum started to cast a glyph which he learned from Thea, he chose Light Synthesis Glyph. Give the stones with the glyphs to them one by one. They tried to incorporate their energy into the glyph.

This time their energies were able to blend well, slowly the glyphs glowed according to the color of their respective energies.

"Looks like your guess is right, Beastros can only learn from Green Glyphs," Stella said to Astrum after realizing that their energies were compatible with glyphs.

The Beastros looked frozen, their consciousness entering the glyph. From outside, the glyph's light faded. They slowly came to their senses and felt amazement appear on their faces. They had never entered such a space of consciousness.

"Try to print the glyph that was on the blank stone." Astrum gave instructions according to the lessons he had learned long ago from Stella and Sidius.

"This kid is already like a teacher" Sidius whispered to Stella proudly seeing Astrum like that.

Stella just nodded in agreement and smiled seeing Astrum like that.

The Beastros tried to draw the glyph and drain their energy, but the glyph didn't turn into light. The glyphs are still like carvings on stone. Astrum, Stella, and Sidius were surprised to see this, they each had their own guess.

"The energy control is still weak?" Said Sidius.

"They haven't fully understood the glyph?" Stella said after all Insignias generally take a long time to learn Glyphs. In contrast to Astrum which can learn in a short time.

"It seems that the glyphs only increase their awareness of glyphs," Astrum said.

"Ha?" Stella and Sidius look confuse at Astrum.

"I noticed that there were different glyph fragments in the energy they were transmitting." Astrum tried to explain his guess.

"You can see it?" Stella was even more surprised to hear Astrum.

"Auntie can see it too?"

"No, I didn't see it at all."

"Hmm.. was it just an illusion?" Astrum tried to analyze what he saw earlier.

He was very curious and then moved closer to the Beastros. He asked the Beastros to once again channel energy into the glyph, he wanted to take a closer look. The moment they drained their energy, Astrum could see the fragment clearly.

"Oh, there he is!" He spoke these words out loud.

"Astrum, what's wrong?" Stella was currently approaching Astrum.

"The fragment does exist, I thought before it was an illusion, it turns out to exist"

Stella tried to notice the energy flow on the glyph but got nothing.

"But why is the shape of this fragment so strange?" Astrum realized that the glyph fragments he saw didn't look like they used to.

"Try to enter their consciousness." There was Thea's voice in Astrum's consciousness.

"How to?" Astrum asked in his consciousness.

"Enter and unite with their energy center, ask them to loosen their defenses"

Astrum began to approach Hiru, put a hand on his back, and said: "Hiru I will try to enter your consciousness, don't refuse it"

Hiru didn't feel any threat from Astrum so he relaxed and let Astrum in.

Stella and Sidius were very confused by Astrum's Actions, they had never taught Astrum to enter the consciousness of other beings.

Within Hiru's consciousness space, Astrum was at the center of energy. Floating in the center of the energy center was a glyph fragment that Astrum had previously seen. Astrum began to put some of the fragments together. The fused fragments form a unique symbol such as the Tribal Tattoo. Astrum was confused by this symbol, but after realizing that the fragments had been fused; he came out of Hiru's consciousness space.

When he came out and came back to his senses, Stella was already beside Astrum with a surprised face.

"Astrum, where did you learn this from?"

"Eh… this I learned from..."

Before he could finish answering, Thea said not to reveal her whereabouts. She didn't want Sidius and Stella to suspect him of helping with this project. Astrum felt Thea's reasoning was acceptable, as Stella was carrying out this project in a remote place to make it a secret project.

"I learned from seeing Aunt and Uncle" He replied somewhat nervously.

Stella was aware of Astrum's extraordinary talent, so she believed his words without suspicion.

Not long after Hiru stopped flowing his energy, he felt something rise in his consciousness. He took a blank stone and then drew a shape that appeared in his consciousness. Instantly the shape shone according to the color of Hiru's light.

"Glyphs? But why is the shape so strange?" Stella noticed the glyph made by Hiru.

"What does it do?" Astrum was curious about the glyph.

Hiru touched the glyph and the glyph instantly became a net covering his entire body. He realized something "This can make me bounce back the opponent's attack".

The Glyph formed in his consciousness serves to absorb the opponent's attack and bounce it. Apparently, the glyph of Thea was transformed by Hiru's consciousness.

Realizing that this worked, Astrum began guiding the other Beastros. The beastros get the same glyph as the tribal form. They became very excited to get this ability. Kneel once again to Astrum's group and salute.

"Thanks for the blessing, We swear that we will always follow your orders" They just gave the oath.

"Hey, be careful with that oath. As Insignia, every vow will bind to your energy body." Sidius said.

"No problem, we got this kind of power thanks to you guys," Hiru answered firmly.

"Uncle, what do you mean by binding oath?"

"As Insignias, every vow will become a bond to the energy body. If Insignias breaks the vow then his or her energy body will be injured, but if he or she can complete the vow will also gain enlightenment."

"Therefore, even if you don't have an Insignia, you should be careful of the oaths you make."

After the three Beastros had obtained the glyphs, they were sent back to camp. Stella gave the three Beastros instructions to practice control over the glyphs they got.

Astrum was quite proud of his current experiment, although the Beastros couldn't use basic glyphs this achievement was temporary enough for them. At this time he was curious about the glyphs of these Beasts, he wanted to try using these glyphs for himself.

He began to draw the glyph with the tribal shape onto the rock and channeled star energy into it. The glyph glowed bright white, matching the color of Astrum's light. He tried to apply the glyph on himself.

The Glyph turned into a net that completely covered his body. But after the glyph enveloped him, he felt like his body was being tightly bound. He screamed in pain, all his muscles felt like they were going to tear at any moment.

Lilo tried to approach Astrum who was covered by the net, but when he touched the net his body bounced. Seeing Astrum's condition, Stella rushed to help him escape the glyph net. He tried to use his stellar energy to pull out the energy net, but it had no effect.

Astrum was screaming in pain, all the veins in his body were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot. His body appeared several wounds from the binding of the net. Fresh blood came out of the wounds, not only that. At this time his eyes, nose, and ears were bleeding.

Stella and Sidius continued to try to release the energy net that bound Astrum using their respective energies.

"Shit! What is going on?" Sidius said very annoyed because his efforts did not affect Astrum.

"It looks like that glyph isn't compatible"

Suddenly a green glyph appeared on the ground, right at Astrum's position. The glyph shone into pillars of green light surrounding Astrum. The net that bound Astrum slowly loosened and released Astrum. Astrum fell to the ground with a body full of wounds, it was the first time he felt such excruciating pain. In his 14 years of hunting the Cosmic Fiend, he had never been so badly injured.

At this moment, he watched as the net began to drift away from him and merged with the pillar of green light. He realized that this green light had characteristics like Thea's energy. Not only Astrum, currently Sidius, and Stella watching the pillar of green light also realized the same thing.

After a while, the pillar of light disappeared leaving only a glyph engraved on the ground. Sidius and Stella rushed towards Astrum, they wanted to heal Astrum. Stella rushed to print a healing glyph. But before he could start, Thea appeared right in front of them.
