Inside the pyramid, Astrum saw many glyphs floating like the previous pyramid. He used all the blue pearls but only managed to activate a few of the glyphs.
After a while, Astrum came out of the pyramid.
"We need more of these blue pearls."
"Astrum, we can't spend too long looking for this blue pearl, we have to prepare for the attack," Sidius said.
"Sir Sidius, my troops need a few days to prepare. Why don't we use these few days to collect these blue pearls?"
"Besides, Zax won't be able to build a new tower in just a few days."
Anggul gave his opinion.
Finally, they agreed to use 3 days to hunt monsters in the beak clan continent. Anggul sent Aria and Arie to guide Astrum's group, and Arrot was assigned to train the new insignias of beak clan.
Astrum along with Stella, Bi, Hiru, and several Beastros from the horn clan to hunt monsters. Sidius, Thea, and Astrum's parents were left at the Beak Clan's house.
The location of the monsters on this continent was on the slopes of a mountain. From a distance, they could see the slope was covered by a white mist.
"Master Astrum, we have to be careful."
"The monsters on this continent have unique abilities. The fog is the production of monsters, we cannot approach the fog."
"If we are hit by the fog then we will immediately fall asleep" Arie explained.
"Ha? Then how do we attack the monsters?" Astrum grew curious about the beak clan's method of defeating these monsters.
"We will lure the monster to reveal itself, you must be careful not to approach before it appears."
Then Arie and Aria flew high above the white mist. From a distance, we could see their bodies shining and shooting star power into the mist. The shot was so powerful it caused a huge explosion in the center of the fog.
Gradually the fog disappeared and showed that there was a large crater from the explosion of Arie and Aria's shot. In the center of the crater was a monster shaped like a goblin with blue hair.
The monster roared and stared ferociously at Astrum's group. The monster moved swiftly and charged towards Astrum's group.
Bi and Hiru stepped in front of Astrum and prepared to face the monster's attack. When the monster approached Bi and Hiru decided to attack the monster.
"Careful! Don't get caught by that monster's attack!" Arie shouted from the air.
While Bi and Hiru confront the monster, Astrum uses his perception power to read monster level.
[Blue Monster: Level 26]
Power: 6
Defense: 5
Agility: 10
Perception: 5
Skills: Sleep Paralysis.
Bi focused on attacking the monster with his speed but he was surprised when the monster was able to dodge his attack with ease. Its claws just hit empty air and the monster disappeared from before him.
Without him realizing it, the monster was already on his right side. The monster was much smaller than Bi's size, with its small body it jumped up and embraced Bi's hand.
Bi quickly tried to catch the monster crawling in his right hand but he felt his body slowly lose strength. His eyes were getting heavy and his body was getting weaker. Then he fell limp to the ground and fell asleep.
The monster pressed against Bi's chest and banged its head against Bi's head. Before the monster managed to hit Bi's head, Hiru had already attacked the monster from the side.
The monster's defense was weak but its speed was incredible. With Bi and Hiru's stats, it was impossible to match the agility of the monster.
The monster jumped from Hiru's attack and crept into Hiru's hand. Hiru also felt his body lose its strength and consciousness gradually disappears.
"Sleep Paralysis! The monster has the ability to paralyze!" Astrum shouts.
"Swishhhhh"
There is a sharp feather that hits Hiru's hand, it is a feather that is released at high speed, even with Hiru's tough skin it can still be injured by the shot.
Hiru immediately woke up when he was hit by the feather throw. The monster immediately jumped away from Hiru's hand.
"Use ranged attacks!" Arie shouted from the air.
"BOOM!!!!"
Suddenly the monster exploded! They were all shocked by what happened. Looked back and found Stella already activated her glyph, it was Stella who shot the monster with her star power.
Arie then flew down and took the blue pearl from the monster's remains.
"Sorry I had to attack you." Arie said to Hiru.
"It is only by pain that the victim of the monster can awake."
It was Arie who threw the feather before to awake Hiru from the monster's skill.
Hiru watched Bi sleeping and snoring loudly. Then he approached Bi and kicked him hard until Bi bounced.
"Hey! What happened? Where is the monster?" Bi wakes up and is curious.
Then Hiru tells what happened, They just realized that the monsters on this continent are more difficult to deal with than the monsters on the continent.
"We have to rest first, we have to recover our energy," Arie said and handed the blue pearl to Astrum.
This was really troublesome, to lure just one monster they would have to use up most of their energy. How can they deal with the Monster boss?
When Astrum put the blue pearls into his bag, he noticed the black pearls reacted to the blue pearls. Gradually the color of the blue pearl disappeared and became an ordinary pearl.
Astrum was surprised and immediately took out the blue pearl from his bag.
"Auntie, look at this."
"Apparently this black pearl can neutralize the blue pearl." Stella noticed the change in the blue pearl.
"Is it possible to use these pearls as weapons?" Astrum grew curious.
"We can give it a try."
"You guys can rest, we will continue this hunt," Stella said to Arie and Aria.
Then the Astrum group returned to scouring the mountainside to look for the presence of other monsters.
After they had walked a few hours, they saw the same mist as before at a distance of 100 meters.
"Let's try this pearl." Astrum took the black pearl and threw it into the mist.
The mist slowly dissipated and revealed a blue monster.
The monster looked fiercely at Astrum and moved swiftly to attack.
Astrum held one of the black pearls in his hand and prepared for the monster's attack. He glanced at Stella for a signal.
The purpose of this sign was so that Stella could shoot a monster if Astrum failed to contain the monster. Stella replied with a small nod as a sign that she was ready too.
The monster moved quickly, leaping and lunging at Astrum. Astrum quickly threw his fist at the monster, but the monster dodged it easily.
The monster moved swiftly and managed to jump and catch Astrum's hand. The monster will perform the Sleep Paralysis skill to Astrum. Astrum saw the pearl in his hand glow and the monster's skill was successfully dispelled.
The monster jumped back 5 meters from Astrum. He looked at Astrum strangely because his skills did not succeed in making Astrum sleep.
Astrum guess is right, this black pearl can be a weapon to defeat this blue monster.
Using the black pearl meant he couldn't use his glyphs, so this would be a pure physical battle.
Astrum moved swiftly towards the monster fearlessly, delivering several swift attacks. But the monster's speed was very fast, the monster easily dodged all of Astrum's attacks.
All of Astrum's punches only hit empty air! And the monster was still in good shape with no injuries or fatigue.
Realizing that this monster's speed was above him, Astrum quickly readjusted his stats. Increases speed to 11 points and increases his defense. He chose to fire up his defenses because the monster's attacks weren't strong.
[Astrum - Level: 27]
Strength: 8
Defense: 2 + 5 (7)
Agility: 11
Perception: 6
With the new stats, Astrum was currently able to keep up with the monster's speed.
Bi and Hiru were stunned to see the fight from afar, they didn't understand how Astrum wasn't affected by the monster's attack and was suddenly able to keep up with the monster's speed.
Astrum's attack managed to hit the monster, in just a few hits the monster was instantly killed.
Astrum took the blue pearl from the monster's body and took the black pearl he had previously thrown.
Go back to the group and tell what happened.
"So this black pearl can withstand the monster's attack?" Hiru asked.
"That's right! We can use this black pearl to deal with the monster but when using this pearl, we cannot use star power."
Then Astrum distributed some of the black pearls to his group except for Stella, because the black pearls would weaken Stella's condition.
"Even though you can overcome the monster's skill but your speed is inferior to that of the monster."
"We can't just rely on Astrum to hunt that monster alone."
"We need a strategy to hunt this monster!" Stella said.
Astrum thought of a strategy to hunt these monsters, with their black pearls they could withstand the monster's abilities but couldn't deal any attacks. Astrum looked around and realized something.
Their location was filled with vegetation, he wanted to try out the glyphs he got from Thea.
Then he decided to try his strategy. Their group continued to walk down the mountainside in search of other monsters.
After a while, they found another mist.
"OK! You guys wait here! Attack the monster at my command!" Astrum gave instructions to the Beastros army.
Tossed the black pearl into the mist to lure the monster out. After the monster was exposed, it charged towards Astrum.
Astrum didn't hold the black pearl in his hand but he started to make glyphs. As the monster approached, the surrounding ground appeared shining glyphs. From the ground emerged several roots holding back the monster.
"SNARE!"
