Chereads / INSIGNIA : The Starlight bearer / Chapter 46 - Meet the Horn Clan Chief

Chapter 46 - Meet the Horn Clan Chief

Hearing this voice, Nulua and the entire beastros army immediately knelt.

On top of the village walls, several beastros figures appeared. One of the beastros was very large with many horns on its head and shoulders.

"Nulua, what are you doing here?"

"Clan Chief, we have come to pick you up," Nulua said while looking down.

"What happened to the main village?"

"The main village is safe, we have gathered the entire horn clan in the main village," Nulua answered politely.

"Ha! Why did you gather the entire clan?"

"We're going to attack Zax!" Nulua answered with firmness shining in her eyes.

"Clan Chief, we have to be careful. We don't know if they are Zax's subordinates or not." Beastros beside him whispered.

The Clan Chief realized his comrade's intentions, he looked at the Nulua group carefully.

"Milos! Why are you being such a coward!" Thea suddenly shouted.

Thea walked from behind the group of troops and stood right beside Nulua.

"Miss Thea!"

The Clan Chief immediately jumped off the wall and knelt right in front of Thea. The other Beastros still didn't move and were very wary of seeing Nulua's group.

"Miss Thea, forgive my impudence for not noticing your existence earlier!" The Clan Chief said while looking down.

"Milosh, stop this salute." Thea lifted Milosh from his position.

"Milosh, this time I made it back and brought some help."

"We have gathered all the horn clan villages back to the main village."

"Help?" Milosh asked with an astonished expression.

"That's right, he was one of the favors I brought with me." Thea gave a signal to Astrum to move forward.

"This?" Milosh looked at Astrum with a confused expression.

"Don't look at him like that! Even though he looks small, he has already obtained Beast Baptism."

Thea saw that Milosh the Clan Chief doubted Astrum.

"Beast Baptism!"

All the Beastros were shocked to hear this, not only the beastros guarding the village, but Nulua and her troops were also shocked to hear about this.

Thea asked Astrum to show the symbol on his chest. And when he took off his shirt and exposed his chest, all the Beastros lowered their heads and knelt in respect.

Astrum was astonished by their behavior and asked himself "Does this beast baptism mark hold such high value to Beastros?"

"Astrum, the mark is recognized by the Beastros race."

"To them whoever has the mark is means of higher rank," Thea explained to Astrum who was still stunned to see the beastros.

Then the villagers opened the gate and allowed Astrum's group to enter the village.

Milosh had a lot of discussions with Nulua, asking about the situation in the main village. Hearing the story from Nulua, Milosh became very excited and wanted to return to the main village immediately.

He has been fighting Zax's army for a long time and after discovering that Zax can produce soul leeches, he and his team change their attack strategy to defense. This was a disgrace to the horn clan and now, he was eager to avenge Zax.

After a while, the villagers led by Milosh and Nulua to return to the main village. Tracing again the forest that has previously been passed. The villagers were very wary of entering this forest, in contrast to the Nulua troops who were casually leading the way.

"Nulua, why did you lower your guard? This forest contains a lot of monsters!" Milosh said.

"Clan Chief there's no need to worry, if we're not far from Astrum then everything will be fine."

"Hah?"

"Astrum managed to defeat this forest Monster Boss," Nulua added her explanation when she saw the confused Clan Chief.

"What? That kid defeated the Monster Boss?" Milosh was surprised while staring at Astrum's back.

The journey back to the spaceship didn't take long because there were no attacks from the monsters, within 5 days they had arrived at the spaceship location.

Milos saw that Three huge Star Beasts were waiting near the plane and immediately alerted.

"Damn it! They tracked you down and placed Star Beasts to capture us!" Milosh said to Nulua.

Nulua just shook her head after hearing the Clan Chief's words.

Astrum walked closer to the three Star Beasts and stretched out his hands, the three Star Beasts immediately looked down at Astrum's presence.

Milosh saw this even more surprised and asked: "Nulua, that child is Insignias too?"

"Exactly, those three Star Beasts belong to him," Nulua answered lightly.

"The Clan Chief will be even more surprised when you arrive at the main village."

"Hah? What's going on in the main village?" Milosh grew curious.

"Clan Chief can see it later," Nulua answered with a smile.

They entered the spaceship in an orderly manner and departed back to the main village. Within an hour, they had approached the location of the main village. When Milosh got off the plane he was very surprised by the scene in front of him.

There were currently 172 Star Beasts standing lined up at the mouth of the cave, they were lined up neatly paving the way for Astrum.

"This… This…" Milosh walked amidst the Star Beasts and was full of shock.

"These all belong to Astrum," Nulua whispered to the Clan Chief.

"What!!"

"How is it possible for this kid to contain more than 100 asterisks on his body?" He mumbling.

He walked to the village and found the horn clan guardians all there. Bi and Hiru immediately saluted the Clan Chief. Daal and Arrot also pay their respects to Milosh.

After the Clan Chief was found, Sidius assigned his next task. The first task after finding the Clan Chief is to break the first seal in the main village.

"Clan Chief Milosh, I believe you have the key to the seal with you," Sidus asked politely.

"Sir Sidius there is no need to be polite towards me, we Beastros race have a lot of respect for Starian," Milosh answered.

"Of course I brought it."

He took out an object from inside his robe, it was shaped like a small knife with a very unique glyph engraving just like the one in the pyramid.

"Master Sidius, although we have this key we can't open the seal of the pyramid."

"What? How can you not know how to break this seal?" Sidius was surprised by Milosh's statement.

"Didn't Thiberry give you a clue to break this seal?"

Then Milosh gave his explanation.

"Actually Commander Thiberry didn't make this seal, he just used it."

"The seal on this planet is an ancient seal, Commander Thiberry figured out how to use this seal after learning a few things from the ancient glyph."

"Commander Thiberry discovered that this thing is related to the main seal."

"When Zax's army came, commander Thiberry instructed us to remove this thing from the pyramid."

"It looks like the planet's core was sealed again when we pulled this thing out of the pyramid."

"We have tried to return the key to the pyramid but no avail."

After hearing Milosh's explanation, Sidius thought for a while.

"Why did he order to release this lock from the start if he knew that this lock could not be reactivated?"

"Maybe he doesn't know that the key isn't that simple?" Stella gave some guesses.

"No, it's not like Thiberry's habit. Then why did he make Thea to become one of the keys and keep her away from the planet?"

"AH!"

They both realized something at once.

"He sacrificed himself to keep the seal intact!" Sidius said.

"Then how do we save them now?" Stella was also aware of Thiberry's sacrifice.

"Uncle-Aunty, Can I try to study the pyramid?" Astrum suddenly asks.

Sidius and Stella did not refuse Astrum's request, as at this time they could not find a way to break the seal and save Thiberry.

There were only five people who followed the pyramid location, namely: Astrum with Lilo, Sidius, Stella, Thea, and Milosh.

"Astrum, we have tried using the pyramid but none of us have been able to activate it," Milosh spoke.

Astrum stood in front of the pyramid and tried to look for the keyhole but couldn't find it.

"The keyhole disappeared after we removed it from the pyramid," Milosh explained again.

Astrum held the key right in front of the pyramid, suddenly he felt something vibrating in his bag. He checked his bag and found that the black pearls were vibrating.

He took one of the black pearls from his bag and suddenly the black pearl flew and merged with the pyramid. The glyph on the pyramid glows black light when the pearls fused.

A keyhole emerges from the pyramid wall. Astrum without hesitation inserted the dagger-shaped key into the hole and suddenly the pyramid opened.

"Ah! It's open!" Milosh was surprised because he had never been able to open the pyramid.

The pyramid is only 2 meters in size, but the scenery inside is different. They saw as if there was a very large space in the pyramid.

"Let's go in." Astrum took the lead by entering the pyramid first.

When Milosh and the others wanted to follow Astrum inside, there was a transparent barrier blocking them.

"Hey! What is this!" Milosh was blocked by the transparent wall.

"Astrum hold on! We will try to get you out!" Sidus looks panicked.
