"Worried about it later, we have to catch up with the Solux spaceship first!"
Zax who was inside the mansion, saw a large spaceship flying low in the green city and suddenly saw an explosion in the eastern part of the green city.
"Damn it!" He was very upset, his fists were clenched and all the veins in his body were all out. He knew that this explosion meant he had been deceived three times.
Not long after, two spaceships were chasing the previously departed Solux spaceship.
***
After a while, the situation in the green city became quiet again. There are traces of black smoke in several locations. All the troops are busy patrolling the whole city looking for traces of the enemy.
Zax's Aides have returned from pursuit. They were currently gathered in the main hall. Folux was also present, sitting right next to Zax.
"REPORT!" Zax shouted angrily
"Commander, forgive us." One of the aides reported while looking down languidly.
"uh… uh… 200 prisoners have managed to escape from the cell, and Gorux has disappeared too."
"Damn it! How about the Solux spaceship?"
"Eh. Sorry commander, we were chasing the Spaceship and it suddenly disappeared in the middle of the forest."
"How could that spaceship suddenly disappear!" Zax criticized his subordinates in a high tone.
"Where are their flying locations?" Folux asked.
"Looks like their goal is to beak clan continent."
'Hm. Looks like they want to free the Horn clan.' Zax thought to himself.
"Prepare troops for the beak clan, we will welcome them there!" Zax became angrier than before.
His Ajudtants immediately rushed to prepare troops for the beak clan.
***
In the underground tunnel, Zax's Ajudantants who were caught were tied up and unconscious.
"Clan Chief, what are we going to do with them?" Certi asked.
"Now bracket them first."
"Thea, you are really amazing! I didn't think you could use those trees to cover a like that." Astrum praised Thea for having managed to hide the spaceship smartly.
Thea used her ability to hide the spaceship in the forest. Not only had the spaceship disappeared without a trace, but even the entrance to the underground had also disappeared from view thanks to the thousands of roots that covered the trail of the entrance.
"Ah, it's a trivial thing. What are we going to do next?"
"What about Bi and Hiru? Have they returned?"
"They were back 30 minutes before your arrival," Landers answered.
"Good"
Then they all regrouped in the main hall, this time the main hall looked very lively. Previously there were only a few personnel, this time there was many personnel from prisoners who were successfully released. Not only insignias but several other green leaf troops were also rescued.
Previously they split into three groups. Astrum and Certi are tasked with hijacking the spaceship. Lander's job is to create a diversion by blowing up the city walls. Bi, Hiru, and Lilo are tasked with rescuing the prisoners.
Lilo is assigned with Bi and Hiru to help them if there are prisoners who are bound by soul leeches. And in fact, the Green Leaf Insignias were being held together with several other green leaf troops. And Lilo managed to suck the soul leeches out of them.
Everyone in this room felt so happy, they never thought they would meet their comrades again.
When Astrum and Thea entered the room, everyone lined up neatly to pave the way and pay their respects. Astrum walked in with a blush on his face and a bright smile seeing them all alive.
"Captain Aun, how is the situation?" Astrum asked.
"Master Astrum, thank you for liberating my nation." Aun knelt to pay his respects and was followed by the entire Green Leaf army.
When their knees hit the ground in unison, the sound reverberated throughout the room giving off a tremendous vibrational sensation.
"Captain, there's no need to be like this." Astrum immediately lifted Aun's kneeling body.
Aun stood up and then reported his wiretapping.
"Right now, Zax is arranging his troops to depart for the beak clan."
"Did he come along?"
"No, only Zax's aide with 500 personnel."
"Damn it!" Astrum cursed, his strategy didn't work perfectly. His initial target was to lure Zax into the Mid-Clan so he could save Sidius and Stella.
"Then, how about now? Are we going to save the rest of the green leaf army? After all, their strength has decreased a lot if they left for the Mid-clan's territory." Thea asked.
"No, we can't save them right now, if we are rash then this location will be exposed."
Of course, this decision disappointed the green leaf troops in the room, they were eager to save their comrades. But if they did attack one more time, Zax would be suspicious of their location. And they can't reveal their current location, because their current location is the most strategic location.
"We use this time to level up first. Let them wait for the wind in the beak clan!"
Then Astrum begins to regulate the distribution of materials to several insignias, It can't consume all the materials because Some of the materials are reserved for the main seal.
Currently, Astrum and Lilo are in his room and front of him are some level 4 materials. He is ready to level up to level 30. He makes glyph patterns on the floor to help absorb crystal energy. This glyph pattern was a pattern he had learned from Stella before.
Sit quietly around the crystal material. Then he snapped his fingers, and the glyph on the floor shone brightly. All the material crystals shattered and turned into a mist of energy, and slowly this energy mist moved into Astrum's body.
His body emitted light and formed a dome, the dome of light was getting bigger and bigger until it reached all over the room.
-swah-
There was a tremendous explosion of energy from the Astrum room. Explosions of light shone through the entire underground passage. Even the burst of light pierced through another room.
The Insignias who were cultivating to level up felt a tremendous surge of energy coming their way. They do not panic but instead sink deeper into a meditative state.
Thea who was in the core room with the lander and Aun also felt this burst of energy, they immediately took a meditative position to absorb this energy spike.
Aun who was not an Insignias was surprised by this phenomenon. He was confused to see Thea and Lander who suddenly entered a meditative state.
"Captain! There's a strange thing! All Insignias enter a meditative state." One of Aun's subordinates entered the room in a hurry.
Aun was increasingly confused by this condition, but he also felt that this condition was a good thing for them.
"Arrange all personnel to guard them!"

-EarthQuake-
Zax was with Folux in the main room discussing strategy. Suddenly, the entire table shook violently. The objects on the table immediately fell because of the vibration.
"Earthquake?" Zax and Folux looked at each other and asked.
"What happened?" Folux was curious about this earthquake phenomenon, he had been in Nexor for quite a while and had never experienced anything like this.
"Is there something on the core seal?" Zax suspects this earthquake has something to do with the Core Seal.
Zax immediately rushed to the door that led to the location of the planet's core.
After a while, he reached a fairly deep underground depth. In front of him is a room that leads to a core seal.
"This barrier is still active, what happened?"
He was even more confused, seeing that the barrier in the space was still active and strong, not showing any weakness.
***
Astrum was in a meditative state, Lilo was on Astrum's lap and his eyes were also shining brightly.
The increase he felt this time was different from the previous increase. This time not only did he feel a huge wave of energy but also felt a storm of energy moving like a hurricane.
In the space of his consciousness, he sat quietly to blend in with the energy storm. The Energy Storm was no ordinary storm. Every layer of energy in the storm swept swiftly toward Astrum.
And every time he was hit by a layer of energy, he could feel his body being ripped apart by the energy. He can only endure this process. This process lasted for 30 minutes and then slowly the energy that was previously gushing out into the dungeon shrunk back into him.
All the Insignias who had the blessing of the energy spike felt their levels increase by two levels. They all woke up from the meditative state and smiled contentedly, even though they didn't understand what was happening.
Astrum finished stabilizing his energy and levels and smiled in satisfaction. He felt a tremendous improvement compared to the previous increase.
He checked his Star diagram to see the improvements he had made.
[Astrum - Level: 30]
Strength: 8
Agility: 8
Defense: 5 + 20 (25)
Perception: 6
AP: 18
"Ha? Why did the stats of Beast baptism increase so much?" He was surprised to see an increase in his defense stat.
