In the middle of the luxurious hall, Keiran, Luna and Seraphina sat on the chairs surrounding a circular table. Arion was also present along with them much to the twins' displeasure.
The shimmering chandelier directly above the table, lit up the whole room, increasing its grandeur.
Seraphina was giving him the details of the battlefield, even though he had already seen everything from their surveillance devices. Because Arion trusted personal experience on the battlefield rather than just looking at it.
He wanted to know the key points he could have missed in the recordings.
"That was when it decided to self-destruct and try to take me down with him or at least seriously injure me."
As Seraphina finished speaking Arion had a solemn look on his face, he took a deep breath and spoke up.
"So someone is really commanding them. It could be a General level Beast but…" He paused and his expression turned even grave.
"But it can be a King Level beast."
His words made everyone present to suck in a chilling breath. KIng Level meant someone as powerful as Arion. Just imagining that level of strength in a beast made Seraphina tremble.
Arion stood up from his seat and regained his composure.
"No need to think about it for now, We can only get stronger. They can be as strong as they want but they will still remain beasts in the end. Their nature won't be changed that easily."
He moved to walk out of the room as he spoke, his eyes turned colder and colder with each word he spoke.
Seraphine came out of her thoughts and stood up as well
"I will go and look after Aiden, you two rest now. "
She patted their head with love and walked out of the room leaving Keiran and Luna alone there.
"Let's go back and check the points we have and do some shopping."
Keiran suggested while stretching his body.
" Sure~, Let's go. I feel tired too."
A yawn escaped her mouth as she replied. Keiran took the lead and they walked back to their room.

Sitting comfortably, they opened the screen and the screen exploded with a huge number of notifications.

Without any second thought Keiran closed the notifications and opened the shop, his eyes widening at the number of points they had gathered.

"How much did we gain from the level two beast?"
Luna asked out loud, shock was evident in her voice.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ Point distributions-
The level one beast is worth: 1000 Pts
The level two beast is worth: 3000 pts
The level three beast is worth: 9000 pts
]
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Keiran and Luna were astonished at the sheer difference in each beast. But when they remembered the power displayed by each beast of these ranks, they found it reasonable.
There was a stark difference between level one and level two beasts.
They easily slayed the level one beast by themselves but it took them joint effort to take down a single level two beast even then they had the advantage against the beast's ability.
Thinking about the level three beast a question arose in Keiran's mind which he decided to ask the system about.
"These points are the same for both humans and beasts? Don't they have different battle powers for the same rank, because a human of the same rank can be killed by the beast of the same rank easily?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ Then why can the host kill the level one beasts easily?]
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
The question of the system left the boy speechless. Indeed, he could do the same thing. Both of them are still level one, yet they can kill level to beast when they work together.
"So, what is the difference between us and the rest of the humans?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ The major difference is that humans solely rely on the ether to fight while the beasts are training their bodies even before the ether blessed them. That is the same for hosts as well.
Both the hosts have been training your strength and agility since you started training even before turning ten years old. Then there is your swordplay, factors like these all make up for your power.]
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Reading the whole thing was like an enlightenment for the both twins they can now fully understand they all have the same start, it's just how they train and build up their power that makes them rain over the other.
" So on what basis are these points counted on?"
Luna spoke up as she looked at the screen, although she had a rough estimation of what could be used as a parameter for this distribution but she decided to be sure.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ The System uses Ether as a measuring index. Ether is Universal energy that is similar for every being. Whatever race it may be, everyone has the same amount of ether at the same rank. ]
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
The response from the system confirmed her guess. She looked at her brother waiting for his next action.
"Let's check the Shop, see if we need something?"
As his words fell, the interface of the shop opened up.

"We need something that will boost our awareness and defense. Filter these skills for us." Luna spoke up, She observed in their fight their awareness solely relied on their eyes but they should not just rely on their eyes and their defense was the worst in their fight.

This List went on, many skills even exceeded the amount of the points they have gathered. Now twins understood the vastness of the system, skills like fireball that could be praised in the kingdom were regarded as trash by the system.
Keiran sighed and looked at the skill and understood their basic functions just by their name. After a quick glance he had already selected a few choices in mind and decided to check their functions in detail.
