The claws pierced through the chest of the beak clan personnel, and the insignia on its body began to dim. There was light flowing from the chest to the paws of Lander's subordinates. The light continued to move until it stopped at the upper arm. Then the light printed an insignia on his arm. After that, the insignia on his arm changed shape and spread all over his arm.
The beak clan personnel fell, his body instantly turning gray. The process of transferring the insignias contract was perfect. The other beak clan troops looked at the scene with frightened eyes.
The lander subordinates who had just obtained the insignias felt his body possess a tremendous amount of energy. He smiled contentedly and knelt before Astrum.
One contract transfer process has been completed. And then they proceed with another process. The army of the beak clan was so tough, they refused to give their insignia away for free.
One by one the beak clan's screams echoed in the throne room. The sound of their screams frightened the other Beak clansmen, some of the children of the beak clans cried hysterically. But the Lon clan troops did not stop, they continued to forcibly take insignia contracts from the beak clan. After all, Thea had already given a signal that the beak clan was no longer part of them.
Coming to his 50th insignias, he suddenly said shakily "I… will give up my insignia."
His words took Arrot by surprise, he looked at his subordinates with a ferocious look. He does not train cowardice, but this cannot be denied. It is better to live in misery than to die in vain.
When the word was said, the insignia on the clan beak dimmed and turned into light. The light transferred to the arm of the Lon clan in front of him. The beak clan personnel's body turned gray, it was a sign that it was impossible to become insignias again.
And then the rest of the beak clan troops also did the same, they didn't want to die. Finally, they let go of their contract.
Until finally only Arrot, Arie, and Aria were left. This time Astrum spoke: "Clan Head Lander, your clan has gained 72 insignia. They are guardians of the beak clan; it is better to leave them to captain Aun."
Lander immediately agreed with Astrum's words, he ordered his troops to retreat and asked Aun to advance.
"Captain Aun, you can choose some of your subordinates who are quite strong and loyal."
Aun nodded and called his two subordinates to come forward. Aun also wants to get an insignia. Aun stood in front of the bound Arrot and knelt. He took out a short sword from his waist and aimed it at Arrot's face.
Arrot said nothing, he wasn't willing to give up his insignia. Aun noticed Arrot's attitude, he slashed his sword hard. But Arrot's skin was so thick, the slash caught on Arrot's neck.
Aun grabbed Arrot's head and swiped his sword many times to cut Arrot's neck. Arrot's beheading went on for quite some time and was gruesome. The beak clan troops were getting more and more scared seeing this. Seeing their main guardian being slaughtered like that traumatized everyone.
Arie and Aria who were closest were also shocked by Aun's brutal manner. Astrum and Thea looked at this with cold eyes, they didn't care.
After Arrot's head was cut off from the body, the light in the insignia immediately shifted to Aun. Aun's arm was imprinted with a new insignia and then his sword was also imprinted with the same mark. The insignia was directly integrated into the weapon.
And now it was Aria and Arie's turn. They looked at each other. Suddenly they said, "We will hand over our insignia." They were very afraid of dying like Arrot, slaughtered like cattle.
Two of Aun's subordinates who were standing with swords, nodded at their words. And instantly their insignia moved from Arie and Aria's bodies to Aun's two subordinates. The asterisk also instantly integrates with their weapons.
After this contract transfer process was completed, the beak clansmen awaited their fate.
"Clan head Milosh, please gather the clan members."
Milosh immediately ordered his clan members to gather. And the horn clans immediately responded with Milos's orders. They guessed that Astrum would task them with slaughtering the beak clan.
The beak clan prisoners were even more scared when they saw the horn clans lined up like that.
"Astrum, what are you going to do?" Thea whispered next to Astrum.
Astrum just smiled at Thea, and then said to the Horn clan group.
"I should have done this before, but since we were in a fight earlier that was impossible."
Astrum then made a pattern on the floor. Thea was immediately excited to see the pattern on the floor, she recognized the pattern. It was an array glyph to speed up evolution.
"Milosh, do you believe me?"
Milosh who was staring at the glyph on the floor didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded anyway. He has absolute trust in Astrum.
"Good, please bring 5 people into this array."
Milosh and Nulua along with the 3 horn clan insignias entered the pattern. Astrum injects star energy into the glyph and then the glyph shoots light from the floor forming pillars of light. The five horn clansmen were instantly enveloped by the pillar of light.
The beak clan stared at this in amazement, they didn't understand what was happening. But they felt a tremendous energy sensation from the pillar of light. The sensation they feel is a sensation that comes from their deepest consciousness. They had a hunch that the pillar of light was a good thing.
Astrum controlled the glyph array from the outside. The pillars of light moved according to Astrum's control. When Milosh and his subordinates were hit by the pillar of light, their eyes lit up. They immediately entered a trance state.
Astrum waved his hand in the air and five tribal symbols appeared. Pushing the five tribal symbols towards Milosh and his subordinates. The instant the symbol merged with the pillar of light, the tribal symbol was immediately attached to the chest of each horn clan that was in the pillar.
This is different from the previous process. When Astrum helps the Lon clan to accelerate evolution, he must guide their consciousness towards the tribal symbol – Beast Baptism. But now there's no need because Astrum already understands beast baptism skin form. And the leather baptismal beast Symbol he gave to the horn clan. He chose this symbol because he realized that this symbol was the most suitable for them.
Gradually the pillars of light dimmed, revealing the figures of Milosh and his subordinates. On their right chests was printed the symbol of the beast baptism. Milosh, who first realized this symbol, immediately knelt respectfully to Astrum.
"Lord Astrum, I and the entire horn clan thank you for the blessing."
"Good! You all have obtained the Beast Baptism!" Thea shouted excitedly.
Thea's words shocked the horn clansmen, as this meant that they were one step closer to the became more powerful like their ancestors. The beak clansmen were also shocked, they did not expect that the horn clan would get such a blessing.
It wasn't over yet, Lander suddenly said: "Milosh, now you guys are just like us." He took off his shirt and showed a tribal symbol. The tribal symbols were different but they understood them from the same foundation.
With Lander showing the symbol, the clansmen of the beaks bowed limply. They lost the blessing of obtaining this Beast baptism because their clan head decided to betray Astrum. They also didn't dare to say anything because when Anggul decided to cooperate with Zax, they didn't want to stop him. Right now they could only wail sadly.
Astrum smiled with satisfaction, his aim was successful. His goal was to make the beak clansmen depressed because of their stupidity. He continued the process of beast baptism throughout the horn clan. That process took longer than the Lon clan's beast baptism process.
"Clan head Lander, we will give this beast baptism later after we return to the home base."
Astrum realized Lander was staring at the blessing of the horn clan with jealousy.
"Ah. Well, Lord Astrum." Lander scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"Astrum, what are we going to do now?" Thea asked.
"Now let's go home first."
"Then what about them?" Thea asked about the beak clan that was still being held captive.
"Just leave them here, we don't need them anymore. We're bringing Zax's aides."
Then they all moved out of the throne room and returned to the spaceship. They get two additional spaceships, so they can all return in one trip.
The clan of the beaks who had been left in their ravaged home stared in silence. No words could come out of their mouths. Their regrets were useless, they were left in a state of chaos.
***
Green city, two spaceships entered the territory. Two of Zax's aides who escaped from the Beak clan immediately rushed to the mansion to give a report.
"What! How can you guys lose to them!" Zax hit the table hard.
"Sorry commander, it looks like they managed to infiltrate the beak clan. We're getting attacks from both sides."
"Damn it!"
Zax is getting frustrated, he has lost 7 of his aides and half of his army. He threw whatever was on the table.
