Bi and Hiru swiftly move while avoiding the fight, their goal is Horax and Torax.
Horax could see that two large beasts were rushing towards them.
"This lowly beast is willing to challenge us," Horax said in an arrogant tone.
…
"Do you think they can withstand the two of them?" Stella asked Sidius.
"I don't know, because they want to fight so I give it a chance."
"The important thing is to prevent them from escaping."
The meaning of Sidius' statement is Horax and Torax.
Bi and Hiru dan get closer to Horax's position but they are blocked by some troops. Inevitably, they had to fight them first before getting to Horax.
Their speed and strength were not the same as before, they were stronger. They easily hit the enemy troops that stood in their way.
"I didn't think there was a beast as tough as you guys." Torax looked at Bi and Hiru with a cynical look.
Bi and Hiru replied to their words by attacking directly by activating their star power. Horax and Torax took out their machetes and prepared to fight Bi and Hiru.
Bi against Horax and Hiru against Torax.
Their slashes of machetes can be avoided by Bi and Hiru. With the transformation thanks to the Growth fruit they can rival Horax and Torax who are two levels above them.
Their battle was fierce. Horax was surprised by Bi's strength, he did not expect that Bi's strength was able to withstand his attacks even though his level was lower than his.
"Their ability can rival two levels above it. It seems that the ancient Beast race was indeed strong." Sidius was still watching from a distance.
Nulua did not want to be left behind, she led her troops to join the attack. The instant they arrived at the war zone, Nulua and her troops were shocked.
They just saw from close range, seeing Lilo sucking the fallen enemy troops. They were horrified to see this happening.
The troops who were with Astrum were used to this, they ignored Lilo and continued to attack other enemies. Every time the enemy troops fell, they threw it at Lilo.
Lilo had sucked in over 120 leeches from the enemy army in an instant.
Horax who was fighting Bi continued to monitor the conditions of the fight. Seeing that his army was now more than half lost, he put all his effort into getting away from Bi.
Torax also noticed Horax's actions and followed him.
At this moment their fight stopped for a moment with a distance of 10 meters. Horax whispered and Torax nodded. Suddenly they combined their powers and aimed their attacks at Bi.
The combined attack was extremely fast. Bi can sense danger if the attack hits him.
When the combined attack from Horax and Torax almost hit Bi, Hiru rushed to attack from the side.
Hiru's sudden attack was unable to reach them, when merged their strength became stronger. Especially with the level gap and the attack finally hitting Bi. Bi who was hit by the attack immediately bounced 10 meters.
The two of them stared viciously at Hiru who was still standing and rushed to attack. Hiru realized this attack was strong and unstoppable, he decided to dodge the attack at his speed.
When Hiru dodged the combined attack, Horax and Torax didn't stop. They just shot away from Hiru.
"Damn it! They want to run away!"
Hiru chased after them alone with Bi still falling on the ground.
Bi tried to get up from the ground but was restrained by someone. Astrum restrains Bi from moving, he casts a healing glyph.
"You wait here."
Astrum ordered the Star Beasts that took the form of Horses to chase Horax and Torax.
The Horse Star Beast's speed was extremely fast beyond Bi's speed, even in an instant it had already passed Hiru.
The horse Star Beast had already caught up with Horax and Torax, leaping gracefully past them.
They were stunned to see a huge black shadow flashing from above. When the Star Beast landed it created an earthquake with a radius of 10 meters. They could not withstand the shock and fell instantly.
It was a special skill of the horse star beast "Stomp Quake", Astrum was currently connected and controlled this Star beast.
The star beast didn't stop there, it ran around Horax and Torax who were still falling. His speed created a whirlwind that trapped the two of them inside. From within the tornado came slashes from various directions attacking them. The attack came ferociously injuring their bodies.
This is the second skill of this horse Star Beast "Whirlwind Slash".
After a while the whirlwind disappeared, Horax and Torax lay on the ground with wounds all over their bodies. The Star Beast stomped on them with its two front paws. Being hit by the huge Star Beast they were unable to move at all.
Astrum finished recovering Bi then moved towards Horax and Torax. He tied them both up and waited for Lilo to finish his task of sucking leeches from the remaining troops.
In a short time, this fight was over, Horax and Torax were caught and the troops were saved from soul leeches.
After all the leeches in the army had been sucked up by Lilo, it flew towards Astrum. Astrum looked at Lilo as if giving a code and Lilo understood it.
Unbinding Torax and Horax, Lilo rears up and swallows Torax alive. Horax saw this with great fear. Lilo looked at Horax with a cruel look and also immediately swallowed Horax. After a while, Lilo spits them out again.
Nulua and her squad looked at this with horrified expressions, they still didn't understand what had happened.
They gathered at the mouth of the cave with additional prisoners namely Horax and Torax who were still unconscious. Bi and Hiru explain to Nulua what Lilo is doing. Nulua just realized how they got out of Zax's control.
"With this, we can attack Zax!"
"We used to fight against them for 2 years. Since we found out that Zax has a device to control captured prisoners we don't attack anymore."
"Every time we lose, Zax's army gets stronger and stronger."
"Not anymore! We will kill them to the root!"
Nulua said in a tone full of anger.
Astrum just smiled hearing this from Nulua's mouth.
"Actually we already knew that Zax had soul leeches when they attacked. The Horn clan attacked aggressively but that all changed two years ago." Thea who suddenly said.
"What happened two years ago?" Astrum was very curious.
"We thought that Zax wouldn't have a large number of leeches but we were wrong."
"Two years ago, they had a way of producing soul leeches."
"Since then the beastros army can no longer attack aggressively."
"What do you mean? They have a way of producing soul leeches?" Stella asked.
"Appropriate! We found several locations where they cultivate these soul leeches." Thea answered curtly.
"That's weird. Soul leeches are the product of the Purple Starian and there's no way they could pass this knowledge on to someone like Zax." Stella said while thinking something, she had some suspicions about this.
"Okay, now let's take care of this one by one."
Sidius suddenly said.
They all entered the cave passage and found the main village of the horn clan. This village has been ravaged by the attacks of Horax and Torax troops. They didn't find a single beastros here.
Nulua led the way into the depths of the cave. When they reached the depths of the cave, Nulua was shocked by what she saw.
Right now many beastros were rolling on the ground with faces of pain.
Astrum saw this and immediately asked Lilo to hurry. When they attacked Horax and Torax, they only focused on the troops outside. They forgot the beastros in the village that had been given soul leeches.
At this time, soul leeches would tear their bodies from the inside when their mother died.
Lilo moved quickly to suck up the leeches one by one, she couldn't turn her body big because the cave's size wasn't enough.
Stella and Thea realized this and helped by drawing some recovery glyphs to prevent the soul leeches from escaping the Beastros' bodies.
There are too many of them!
Even with the speed, Lilo sucked up the leeches couldn't cover them all.
Several Beastros roared in pain as the leeches popped out of their chests. As soon as the leeches came out they immediately fell limp.
They died instantly!
The leech came out and evaporated into black smoke. It wasn't ordinary black smoke, it was dark matter.
Sidius saw this and immediately ordered the troops to retreat away. If they are exposed to dark matter, they will be corroded.
Lilo tried to quickly inhale the black smoke.
Astrum saw the many lifeless bodies of Beastros, feeling pain in his heart. He clenched his fists very tightly. He was furious to realize that the beastros just died without a fight.
These soul leeches are truly unclean things! Apart from controlling the body, soul leeches can also kill their host. This is a very cruel method.
"Damn it! We forgot to count those in the cave!"
"Astrum calms down, it's not your fault." Ave tried to calm Astrum.
"They have to eat their own medicine!" Astrum said in an angry tone.
"You don't want to use these leeches. We'd better be careful now in planning our next attack." Stella joined in trying to calm Astrum.
