Chereads / INSIGNIA : The Starlight bearer / Chapter 48 - Achievement Points

Chapter 48 - Achievement Points

The Star Beast roared into Milosh's face. The roars of the Star Beasts gave off such a powerful force of the wind, several of the Beastros behind Milosh were blown away because they are unprepared.

Milosh was still standing in his defensive stance.

And then they fought, both sides using only physical strength. The Star Beast didn't use its star power at all, it tested Milosh using only his physical strength. Milosh responded well to the Star Beast's attacks and was able to counterattack several times.

The previous Milosh looked nervous but right now he was very excited. His eyes lit up with every attack and defense from the Star Beast's attack. Even he showed a smile of joy fighting this Star Beast.

Previously he had thought about being embarrassed if he lost, but now that thought had disappeared. He was simply enjoying the fight with this Star Beast.

What he didn't know was that Astrum had the Star Beast test the worth of the Milosh without using star power. With Astrum's orders like that, the fight became fairer for Milosh.

The battle continued fiercely. Milosh's body was already covered with wounds from Beastros' attacks but he was still very excited. He neglects the wounds on his body and enjoyed this fight.

After a while, the Star Beast stopped attacking Milosh. Milosh realized the intent of the Star Beast, he knew that he would not be able to subdue this Star Beast.

He smiled at the Star Beast and raised his right hand. He decided to declare his defeat against the Star Beast. But the Star Beast also raised its hand towards Milosh.

Milosh and the Beastros were surprised because they didn't understand the meaning of this behavior.

The Star Beast walked slowly towards Milosh. Milosh didn't move as he realized that this Star Beast had no intention of attacking.

The Star Beast pointed with its large finger at Milosh's chest. A moment later light flowed onto Milosh's body and then glowing streaks appeared on his body.

Star Mark on Beastros is different from Star Mark on other living things. Star marks on other living things such as Astrum are shaped like tattoos of star beasts while Star marks on Beastros are in the form of stripes that spread throughout their bodies.

Realizing that the Star Beast had accepted him, Milosh smiled and saluted the Star Beast. Approaching Astrum and bowing out of respect and gratitude.

Astrum only replied with a smile.

The first contract process was successful. The Beastros were getting more and more excited to take part in this feasibility trial. The Green Leaf Troops watching from a distance also cheered for the Beastros.

"don't you want to try?" Thea asked the group of green leaf troops.

"Miss Thea, we are just a low-rank squad. We will not be able to fight against that Star Beast." One of them answered.

"Don't forget, your ancestors were also insignias. The Star Marks of your ancestors are still in the main seal. If you don't prove your worthiness now, what if the star marks reject you?"

Hearing these words from Thea, they also realized that they were descended from the insignias guarding the planet Gleas along with Beastros. Even though they were currently weaker didn't mean they were under Beastros.

"Miss Thea, you are right. Let us join in." One of the green leaf troops answered.

Thea smiled at their answer and rushed to Astrum.

Milosh heard Thea's request was also agreed, he realized that the Green Leaf troops were their allies as guardians of the planet Gleas. He didn't want to leave their allies to get a blessing like this. And finally, the green leaf troops participated in the Insignia feasibility trial.

Arrot and Daal didn't wait until they finished all the trials, they returned to their respective main villages. Arrot flew by carrying Daal with his claws. Their direction was to the main village of the Beak clan first and then to the Lon clan.

The Trial process lasted for 3 days, 100 Star Beasts had already made a contract with the Beastros and some with the Green Leaf Army and left 72 Star Beasts. Astrum plans to distribute the Star Beast to another clan.

Waited for 3 days but haven't received any reply from the Beak clan and Lon clan. They realized that it took time to receive news from each clan because they did not use modern technology to transmit information. So they decided to wait a little longer and use this time to practice.

During the few days of waiting, Astrum and several beastros hunted void monsters to get the black pearl. After obtaining a large number of black pearls, they again gathered in the main village awaiting news from the two clans. Astrum reunites with his parents, Sidius and Stella.

"Uncle, Why Their levels don't rise after getting the contract with The Star Beast?" Astrum asked.

"Of course, The Star Beast only gives their permission to use their power not to give their level."

"Astrum, why haven't you distributed your stat points yet?"

"Stats Points?" Astrum was confused by Sidius' question.

"Didn't you check your Star Diagram?"

"Eh.. yes, I've checked it, but I don't understand what you mean."

"Let me check it myself. Open your consciousness."

Astrum let Sidius enter his consciousness. Sidius was shocked when he saw Astrum's consciousness.

Astrum just remembered that right now his energy body had turned into dense roots, and he was hiding this from Sidius.

"How is this possible?" Sidius looked at Astrum's energy body.

"Sorry Uncle, I didn't tell you about this before." Astrum was ready to be scolded by Sidius.

"Astrum what have you done? How did your energy body develop this fast?"

"Ha? uncle do you mean this form of energy is normal?"

"This kind of energy body is only obtained after you break through level 30 and above."

"Once you break through level 30, the next step is more resources and an understanding of energy itself."

"To understand star energy, you need more control and energy concentration than before. The energy body will change as your energy control and concentration increases."

"Ah!" Astrum was stunned, he just realized that what happened to his body was a good thing.

"Right now, how many glyphs you can cast instantly?"

"Hmm… last time I remember it's 5 glyphs that I can cast instantly."

"Wow! You are amazing!."

Then Sidius floated towards the Astrum energy center and stood right in the front the Star Diagram.

"Your Star Diagram is different from other insignia Star Diagrams,"

"Generally, Star Diagram insignias only have Star Beast fragments."

"Yeah, I also know this from Thea," Astrum answered.

"Insignias generally do not know about Star Glyphs, so it's possible that they don't have pieces like your Star Diagram."

"Oh! It seems you have leveled up the beast baptism pieces." Sidius said after seeing that there was a circle of light on the plate with the tribal symbol.

"Ah! Do you understand the meaning of this circle of light?" Astrum just remembered to find out about the light in the round pieces.

"Each skill you learn has several levels, when your skill increases it is marked with a ring of light."

"Some skills can increase up to 7 times, when the skill reaches the highest level the power is even greater."

Sidius explained and then moved on to the main piece.

"Now you access this main piece."

Astrum followed Sidius' orders and when he touched the main piece it split into several more pieces. Each piece has a different glyph. Astrum remembered this glyph form from Sidius and Stella's study.

The glyphs signify strength, speed, defense, and perception.

"Each insignia has the same general strength attribute but they can distribute level gains on the attribute they wish to increase."

"Uncle, why does my defense glyph have a halo?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because you got Beast Baptism."

"I noticed that you haven't used your level achievement for stats."

"Didn't Thea guide you to distribute these points?" Sidius was curious, because Thea was guiding Astrum when he got his Insignia.

"No, when I got my first insignia, I focused on learning Star Beast skills."

"Alright, if you haven't distributed your level achievements at all, that means there are still 27 achievement points you can distribute."

"At low rank, every time you get one level you get one achievement point to distribute."

"Now you distribute your achievements on strength first until level 9."

Astrum followed Sidius's direction to distribute his achievements on power.

Astrum felt an extraordinary sensation when he distributed the points to the power, he felt very strong.

"The remaining 18 points, you can distribute for speed, defense, or perception as you wish." Sidius continued to give directions to Astrum.

Astrum sensed that he needed speed so he chose to use 9 points on speed and the rest on defense and perception.

After each achievement point is distributed he can only see the numbers on each chip.

Strength : 9

Agility​​: 9

Defense : 5 + 5 (10)

Perception : 4

"Wow! It seems that Beast baptism gives a big improvement." Sidius said after observing Astrum's Stats.

"Astrum, previously you detected the enemy's strength based on feelings or instincts. If you focus on the perception power then you can see the other stats more clearly."

Then Sidius came out of the Astrum consciousness space.

"Now you try to focus on the power of perception to read their stats."

Sidius pointed at the group of Beastros who were training.

Astrum saw Bi who was training the Beastros and decided to give him a try.

[Bidarra - Level: 24]

Strength: 9

Agility: 8

Defense: 6

Perception: 1

"Bi is focused on strength and speed."

Then he tried to read Sidius' statistics, but it didn't work. His perception power was unable to break through to a higher level.

"You can't read my stats with that low perception level." Sidius noticed that Astrum was trying to read his stats.

"So many Insignias underestimate the power of perception so they rarely distribute points there."

"The power of perception increases your ability to read those around you. Even a high level of perception is capable of reading enemy attacks."

"Ah! Why didn't uncle say it earlier!" Astrum complained.
