Raiz looked at the new bees,who were brimming with confidence just a while ago. All nine of them had learned their lesson. Nine? Raiz couldn't help but look at their number again.
There were indeed only 9 bees. Raiz looked around to see where was last one. Moon guessed the reason Raiz was looking around
.
" Are you looking for him?"
Moon moved slightly to the right.Behind him was a bee standing completely unfazed. He didn't participate like his sibling in the one-sided beating . He looked at his siblings and voiced his thought.
" I can't believe how idiots one can be. Not only did you not mistake him as the strongest but you couldn't even notice the overwhelming aura our king is emitting."
The 9 bee siblings looked at their only sibling that got away from the beating. Different from others, his wings were completely purple, only leaving a white cloud in the wing's center. Which was the opposite of the other nine bees.
How could they have known that a cloud was king within a bee community? One of the 9 nine siblings retorted back" I bet you didn't attac, because you were scared to attack and now you are making excuses"
Not even answering his accusation,made the other sibling confident in what was said. One by one their frustration for getting beating from Raiz was being released on to this "cowardly" sibling.
One of them was eager to mention that the cloud was putting an air too. Others were about to agree,then remembered the warning Raiz gave to them. They looked at Moon and sighted out of relief.
Unfortunately forthem, someone else had heard them. Before any of them realized what happened, the one who started was thrown into the air,by none other than the "coward"
"It seems your beating was not enough,for you to dare to insult your king. As the oldest brother? I will have to raise you better from now on "
All that were watching this scene unfold, were thinking" Why are you the big brother? all of you were born at the same time"
The ones who wanted to argue the most were the 9 bees but before anyone could utter anything. He instantly came into their face and asked in a manner of threatening
.
"Do you have something to say, my dear little siblings?"
Nobody could say anything and even Raiz felt that he was stronger than his other siblings. The one to break the heavy mood was Moon, who as usual was just curious.
" I do. Do you have a name?"
All his dangerous aura disappeared as if it never existed. He ran to Moon with a smile on his face, completely surprising everyone in shock.
"Our King, we were just born and do not own a name yet. If you could give me a name, it would be an honor"
" Mmm. What kind of name should i give? Amilios is not a bad name for our strongest "

Hearing he was given a name, Amilios was beyond happy. Others were more concerned that he was strongest. Just how much stronger was he to Raiz?
Raiz didn't mind that Amilios was stronger than him. Why would he be jealous when he could raise his strength as well?
Seeing the happy Amilios, the nine other siblings were about to ask Moon. Unfortunately, their brother had a keen sense as he appeared in front of them again.
"Don't tell me, my siblings would be shameless enough to ask for a name even after not recognizing the king?" He was too smart for the young inexperienced bees to encounter that.
After they accepted their fate. They decided to give themself names according to their strength. The first one being the strongest and the ninth the weakest.
Given the siblings were calming down. Moon made them all,including Amilious touch the infinity pillar. All of them went to train immediately. Seeing the strongest bees train, brought everyone's friendly competitiveness out.
In just 2 days,Raiz who was constantly challenging stage after stage was now on the ninth stage of the mortal realm. Amilios also went from 8 to ninth. Unexpectedly other nine bee siblings raised their stage from sixth to eighth. Their motivation was none other than Amilios,always provoking and asking if this was their limit.
Thundersons and other bees were mostly in the fifth stage now. Val and Green were both in the seventh stage, just one stage lower than the bee siblings.
The one who was lowest and even lower than the children was Moon. Who was now having a breakthrough in the fourth stage. It was pure torture for the Cloud and even no, some of his thoughts we lingering to give up but immediately shut it down.
As everyone was working hard to become stronger. Alia who was spending half of her time with Aurora,making sure she was recovering well was in the fifth stage with Brav. Brav had to stay behind as well.He had to make sure Alia was in good condition,as she usually forgets about herself when she heals others.
Aurora woke up up in what felt like a long dream. Alia who was monitoring her, helped her get up. Brav went to call everyone.
It didn't take long before everyone was present. Since this was big issue as one of their clan members was attacked. Even Amilios who was informed about the situation was seething with anger. Who dared to touch one of us,without the king's permission?
Aurora told them everything she saw and heard. Everyone silently listened to the whole story. Some were frightened, there was someone stronger than the five orcs ,who controlled 2 thousand high orcs.
Everyone was more stunned than ever and got spooked. Fortunaly everyone was used to life and death ,most used this as motivation to work harder.
On the same day, Aurora opened her eyes, she went into the infinite pillar. Being weak was the same as being sentenced to death. Aurora had no intention to repeat the same mistakes again.
The Claustar which was always crowded, was now a ghost town, not one person was seen. Everyone from elders to children were training all day long. The only time they came out was to have a meal and hunt to grasp their current strength.
Moon who was having tremendous hard times, noticed something as he was struggling in the stages. Moon wasn't only able to strengthen his body but also his mind was being strengthed. As he not only fought physically but also mentally.
That still didn't make it any easier, getting into the next stage. The stages would be harder as you went up. Moon didn't have any intention of stopping mid-way, even if it was hard.
One more day passed by and everyone continued their training. In the infinity. Raiz had been trying to break through from the mortal realm into the Myr realm.
He decided to close his eyes,instead of resisting the gravity. He relaxed every muscle he had and took all the pain in. This continued for whole 30 minutes before he saw light.
As he opened his red eyes. His shining eyes looked at his body. His body was cracking, light coming out of the cracks. He felt like he was a butterfly,coming from his cocoon. The light from the cracks was bright enough,that he had to close his eyes.
The next second Raiz came out of infinity. There weren't many outside, as most were training but the ones who saw Raiz were bewildered by his new look. Seeing the reactions, Raiz went to the black wall. The wall acted as a mirror,as its reflection was perfect.
He had now a humanoid body, The wings were still on his back but there were now red with a purple cloud in the middle. Feeling awed by this new development. Raiz couldn't have imagined, he would ever turn into a humanoid form. This was something that made him happy.
His body had red fur from his neck to all the way to his toes, blocking all the private parts. The only part that wasn't red, was his hair which was black as night.
As he was overjoyed by how he looked. He noticed there was something different. Not only his strength but something else was different. He could now tell and see the mana in the air, the mana freely scattered around.
As he thought of touching the mana, he felt something in his chest. He concentrated more and he could see something swirling between his ribs.The moment he thought about , he knew what it was.
It was his new ability. He knew instantly it had something to do with gravity. He tried lifting up a rock but failed. He tried again with a smaller rock and failed again. For the third time, he tried to lift a leaf.
At first, it didn't budge one bit, but as he kept trying, he finally succeed in lifting the leaf barely from the ground . Raiz was satisfied as his effort paid off.
