Zax sped up fast, his movement having only one purpose. He wanted to kill Astrum in one hit.
Astrum, who had just stood up, saw Zax moving towards him. He didn't have time to dodge the attack, he crossed his arms in front of his chest to defend.
"BOOM!!!"
The light exploded into a dome-like shape.
Everyone in the town square looked at the light in amazement. The light still shone so brightly that it blinded them all.
"BOOM!!"
There was another explosion, the dome of light turned into a gunshot. Something bounced from the shot of light.
That's what Zax bounced off the dome of light.
Slowly the light disappeared, revealing two figures standing in front of Astrum.
It was Bi and Hiru, who blocked Zax's attack and countered it with their skills.
Just a moment ago, Bi and Hiru were still fighting with Zax's adjutant. They realized Astrum was in a dangerous condition and they immediately rushed out of their fight and helped Astrum.
Bi and Hiru's bodies were covered in wounds and blood was pouring from the wounds. As they left their fight, Zax's aides took the opportunity to injure them from behind.
Bi and Hiru's condition is very messy, they use the skill "Reversal Attack" to block Zax's attack. However, because their control level was still low, they could only return half of Zax's attack. They took half of Zax's attack.
Even if only the attack power was reduced by half, the impact was enormous.
Zax's level was too far beyond them.
Blood and Energy seeped out from all over their bodies and they immediately fell unconscious.
Astrum was still standing behind them. His consciousness has turned into a beast, seeing Bi and Hiru fall after making a sacrifice for himself, he became very angry and roared.
Zax, who was blown away from being hit by his own power shot, started to wake up slowly.
The armor on his body was damaged from the attack but there were no serious injuries. He wiped the blood from his lips and said "Bastard! You will all die here!"
Zax shot from his position towards Astrum. Astrum also shot towards Zax.
Clashing in the middle, they fought once again with physical strength without star energy. Apparently, Zax drains a lot of star energy when attacking Astrum.
Astrum also doesn't use its star energy because its energy is already critical.
Blow after blow was launched towards Astrum.
Astrum can dodge some of Zax's attacks and counterattacks. But his counterattack didn't have any impact on Zax.
Zax was stunned because some of his attacks didn't hit Astrum, he felt Astrum's speed increase compared to before, but his punch's power weakened.
"BUGH! BUGH! BUGH!"
Another attack hits Zax. It was Lilo, she returned to help Astrum attack Zax.
The combination attack of Astrum and Lilo managed to land several punches on Zax's body but did not have a serious impact on Zax's body. Zax's defense is very strong!
With this combination attack, Zax found it difficult to counterattack. Although the attacks didn't have much impact, he was troubled by the speed of the two of them.
"ARRRGGH!!!!"
Zax once exploded his energy, his body emitted light and bounced Astrum and Lilo away. He was still standing but looked very exhausted. He didn't rush towards Astrum, the energy blast drained him a lot.
Astrum was bounced several meters away due to the energy blast.
After bouncing and rolling several times, he tried to get back on his feet. After trying to stand up, he immediately fell again. His energy was depleted, he had lost the strength to fight back.
…
"What's going on here?"
Several people wearing black robes had arrived at the town square. They were shocked by the sight they saw. Several of the Beak clans and Zax's troops were injured and unconscious.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" Black smoke enveloped the town square.
After a while the black smoke disappeared, Astrum, Lilo, Bi, and Hiru also disappeared.
"Chase them!" Zax shouted.
Zax's troops scattered to find their whereabouts.
…
The situation in the square again calmed down. The horn clan beastros and the Green Leaf army were still tied up. Some of the Beak clan troops helped their comrades to recuperate.
Arrot and Kaheer were seriously injured in the clash.
After a while, Zax's troops who were chasing the black-robed army returned.
"Commander! Sorry, we lost them."
Zax who was sitting down to recover his energy was very annoyed by their report.
"Damn! We'll take care of them later."
"Return to your positions!"
Zax's troops immediately moved to help the recovery of his injured comrades.
Not long after, Anggul was back to his senses.
"Master Zax, has the child disappeared?"
"You don't have to worry! That kid will die because his energy has run out!"
"You take care of this prisoner."
…
After a few days, the Beak clan had returned to their home.
"How are Kaheer and Arrot doing?"
"Clan Chief, they are in recovery. We need some materials to speed up his recovery."
"Use material reserves!"
"What about those three Star Beasts?"
"Commander Zax handed over the three Star Beasts to us as compensation, currently they are locked up."
"Alright, back to your post."
Then the beak clan personnel walked out of the throne room.
"Anggul! You will die!"
"Shut up Milosh!"
Milosh and several Insignias of the Horn clan were tied up.
"Anggul, are you not aware of the pressure from lord Astrum. We Beastros can't resist that pressure, it's the pressure of The Beast Baptism!"
"What! That kid got Beast baptism? How did that kid get that!"
"HA HAHA! Anggul oh Anggul! You picked the wrong opponent this time."
"Milos! You better shut up! Soon all of you will be my slaves! That kid won't last long after all!"
…
In a room that is like a cave, there are many grains of green light. Thea was trying to recover Astrum.
"Miss Thea, you better rest now. It's been two full days of you trying to recover him."
"Lander, how are they doing?"
"They were seriously injured, their energy bodies were damaged. Even if they regain consciousness, they will most likely not be able to use star energy in the future."
In the room, there were Astrum, Bi, and Hiru who were unconscious, their bodies wrapped in green bandages.
"This is all my fault! I shouldn't have involved them!"
Tears rolled down Thea's cheeks, she was very sad to see Astrum's current condition.
"Miss Thea, why is this beast like this?"
Lander asked about Lilo sleeping on Astrum's chest.
"Leave it alone, Lilo is his friend. I will stay here to recover them." Thea said while wiping her tears.
"Miss Thea, your recovery energy probably won't be enough to help them. Use some of these materials."
Lander took out some tier four materials.
"Lander, this is the reserve of your clan."
"Miss Thea doesn't need to worry, just use it."
…
In the green city mansion, Zax's Ajudtants had recovered and gathered.
Zax's adjutant who was caught earlier had returned and gathered with the other Zax's adjutants.
"What happened to you guys? Why are you guys broken like this?" Horax asked his comrades who were injured in the battle in the town square.
The other didn't answer, they just looked down in shame at their previous defeat.
Suddenly two figures entered the room, it was Zax and Folux. They look messy because they still recovering from the last battle.
"What's wrong with Bolx?" Folux asked after seeing Bolx who was silent like an idiot.
"Ignore him! His consciousness was damaged from being forcibly breached." Solux replied.
After everyone sat in their respective positions.
"Commander, the materials from the storage have been stolen." One of them gave the report.
"What!"
"Looks like Lander is leading his troops to seize the opportunity when we ambush the enemy!"
"Bastard! They seek death!"
"Commander, I know another location to get materials." Solux suddenly said.
Then Solux told about his experience chasing Thea and meeting the Astrum group.
"Hm. They store materials on that planet. Solux, you came back to retrieve the materials!"
"Ok."
"What about Bolx?" Gorux asked.
"He's useless! Folux you take care of Bolx!"
"Alright commander!"
Then Zax's adjutants left the room, and Solux went to prepare the spaceship to return to the Astrum's home planet.
In the room left only Zax and Folux.
"Folux, how is the production of Soul Leeches?"
"Commander, in one more week we will hatch the soul leeches."
"Good! Arrange some to hand over to Anggul!"
"Ok, I will prepare the soul leeches"
Then Flux came out of the room.
Zax stood up and walked to a door at the back. Entering the door, there are Sidius and Stella bound. In the room, there are several pillars with black pearls on them.
The black pearls weakened Sidius and Stella.
"Oh the famous General Sidius, you never thought you would be caught by me did you!"
"Zarcon! You Traitor!"
