Chapter 67 - Nexus

"I will go to the Lon clan territory, to activate the last pyramid. I need the Lander Clan's fists to show me the way."

Astrum's statement made them even more confused, they were gathered because it was reported that they were going to attack the Beak clan. But right now Astrum wanted to go to the Lon clan.

"Lord Astrum, I can guide you to the location of the pyramid. But what are we going there for?" Landers asked.

"We will attack the Beak clan from there," Astrum spoke very briefly, leaving the others even more confused.

"Lord Astrum, the location of the beak clan with ours is very far."

Lander wanted to go into more detail, but Astrum cut him off.

"The clan head has nothing to worry about. I only need a handful of personnel to accompany me. The rest can bring back the Lon clan that is still there to move here."

Lander was getting more confused by Astrum's answer, he looked at Aun with a surprised face.

"How long will it take to get to that location?" Astrum asked.

"If we use Spaceship Solex, we can reach it in 1 day. But if we use the spaceship to go there, we will be exposed." Landers explained.

"Is there a detour route to not being exposed?"

"Of course, we can rotate, but it will take longer. It will take at least 3 days."

"It's better than us having to run there. Captain Aun, I will ask your subordinates to bring the spaceship."

"Well!" Aun answered firmly.

"Thea, is there a way to revoke the insignia contract?" Astrum asked.

"Insignia's contract can be terminated in several ways, the first is for the contract owner to surrender voluntarily and the second is to kill the contract owner," Thea explained.

"What happens if it is voluntarily handed over?"

"If he gives up all his Insignias then his whole life will not be insignias again."

"Oh! Good!" Astrum answered curtly, making Thea even more confused.

"Now, I will explain the plan." Astrum intended to explain his strategy.

The plan was for him and a few personnel to depart for the Lon clan territory, not many personnel would be participating. The goal is that the spaceship can accommodate the Lon clan who are still in the area to regroup at their current location. Because their existence is very dangerous if scattered.

Then in a few days, after Zax's army waited in vain, the Green Leaf army would go to the Beak clan to attack.

"Clan head Lander, do you have any colored pearls from your territory?" Astrum asked.

"Sure, we collected a lot."

"Good, I will need it to unseal the pyramid."

"Alright Lord Astrum please take this." Lander hands the key to the pyramid to Astrum.

After some preparations, they finally set off. There was only 10 personnel left, Astrum and Lander were included.

Thea performed her ability to open the roots that covered the spaceship. The spaceship began to unfold and flew slowly. The spaceship flies with a route around the green city so that it cannot be detected.

At the beak clan house, the Zax troops had been waiting for 3 days with boredom.

"How long do we wait? It's been three days and they haven't even seen their shadows at all?" One of Zax's aides complained.

"Let's wait a few more days, and if they still don't show up, we'll be back."

"Gentlemen" Suddenly Anggul appeared from behind.

"What?" One of Zax's aides asked coldly.

"Has Mr. Folux prepared soul leeches?"

"We will send our subordinates to bring it here, you don't have to worry."

Then Anggul returned to the throne room.

Finally, after 3 days they arrived at the Lon clan's location. The territory of the Lon clan is different from the horn clan or the beak clan. Astrum noticed their territory was in the middle of the forest. Lander led the troops to enter the Lon clan's territory.

Until a position, Lander stopped and stomped his feet on the ground several times. The pounding wasn't ordinary, it was like a pattern. Not long after and the ground appeared to move. There was a layer of soil starting to open and someone came out of the hole.

"Clan Head!" The person knelt and saluted Lander.

Lander instructs the person to gather the Lon clan citizens to go to the spaceship. The man went back into the hole in the ground and Lander followed him.

Astrum just realized that the residence of the Lon clan is very unique, they live underground and form tunnels like an ant's nest. After walking through a few turns, they stopped in a room.

The room was unremarkable, without any furniture or anything, Really just an empty room. Lander crouched down and dug into the ground in the room. After a while of digging, he finally saw a staircase leading to a deeper location.

Tracing the stairs, they finally arrived at the location of the pyramid.

"Lord Astrum, these are the pearls we collected." Lander handed over a large number of red pearls.

"You collected that much?" Astrum was surprised to see that the number of pearls was very large.

"The Monsters presence is quite dangerous as children so we hunt monsters in this area quite regularly."

"Are you guys having no trouble defeating the monsters in this region?" Astrum is curious.

"The monsters in this region are dangerous if they go berserk, we can overcome them before they go berserk," Landers explained.

Astrum just remembered when Daal joined the hunt for void monsters in the horn clan's territory. At that time Daal acted quickly to beat up the monster which he was finally caught by the monster.

After receiving the red pearl, Astrum immediately used it to activate the pyramid. The pyramid door opened, and Astrum entered it. Use all the red pearls to activate the glyphs in the pyramid. Luckily the number of pearls was sufficient to activate all the glyphs.

After a while, Astrum came out of the pyramid with the key that had been unlocked.

"Clan head, you can now return with your clan to our hideout. After you return, prepare an army to depart for the beak clan." Astrum gave instructions.

"Lord Astrum, will you not come with us?" Lander was curious because Astrum's orders could be carried out directly without having to give him instructions.

"No, we'll meet there in a few days," Astrum replied with a smile.

Then he walked back into the pyramid, leaving a bewildered Lander. Lander immediately returned to the spaceship location with his clan.

Astrum and Lilo are inside the pyramid. He realized something while studying the glyphs that were in the previous dungeon. These three pyramids are not just a seal, but this pyramid serves as a link to each other. This is the nexus pyramid.

He tried to use what he had learned and then Arranged the glyphs in the pyramid. Once arranged, he saw a light appear in front of him, the light was getting bigger and bigger to a height of 3 meters.

He realized that the light was a portal, he entered the light, and instantly his body disappeared in the portal.

He had set the direction of the portal to the location of the pyramid in the Beak clan. He didn't need to go to the location of the Horn clan pyramid, because he guessed that the entire Horn clan had been brought to the Beak clan's house. After all, Solux and the others had already shown themselves, meaning that they had managed to break free from the horn clan.

After a while, the beak clan's pyramid shone. The beak clans didn't realize what was happening, as this pyramid was located inside their house unguarded.

The pyramid door opened, Astrum came out of the pyramid. Looked around and realized that he had been teleported to the Beak Clan's house. He smiled sinisterly thinking about the move he would make in the beak clan.

Walking down the stairs to the main room, he walked carefully. He didn't want his whereabouts to be known by the beak clan.

When he reached the door that led to the main room, he stood and pressed his ear against the wall.

"Father! Why am I still not getting the insignia mark?"

Aryee's voice came from behind the wall.

"Kaheer, haven't you managed to get one either?" Anggul's voice sounded clear.

"Not yet, I don't know why I haven't got the contract," Kaheer replied.

"Maybe it's because your level isn't enough. Use existing materials to increase your level."

"Father, have you subdued the three star beasts?" Kaheer asked.

"Not yet, it looks like the kid is still alive. The three Star Beasts were still under contract. We'll wait for the rebels to attack here, then Zax's army will slaughter them. Then I will get the chance to kill that child!" Anggul said in an arrogant tone.

"Hm. Apparently, Zax's troops are still here." Astrum muttered under his breath from behind the wall.

"Then what about the Horn clan? When do we get those soul leeches?" Aryee asked in a spoiled tone.

"They will bring the leech away in a few days, you have to be patient. You just use materials to increase the level first. And summon Arrot here."

Ayee and Kaheer walk out of the throne room.

Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps.

"Clan head, you summoned?" Arrot greeted Anggul.

"Arrot, how's the situation?"

"Clan head, currently the horn clan is still holding out. We'll wait a while longer until they weaken, after that we'll revoke their contract and make it ours."

"Damn it!" Astrum muttered under while clenching his fists. Hearing that the Horn clan was being tortured and about to have their contracts forcibly revoked, made Astrum furious.
