Rio walked towards the portal capsule and collected all the yellow stage pills scattered in the room.
He didn't have to go for it as all of them were stacked in front of the portal capsule for the desperate fight.
These spherical pills were the one-fifth size of a medicine capsule and flickered with a yellow light. It was cold and fleshy to the touch. Rio stored them inside his inner pocket.
The boy changed his appearance back to the one that looked similar to Leon as his face changed back to a young boy
He took out the Tiny transparent stars glittering spherical object that Helia gave him to use after chasing away the humans from the newly claimed shelter.
He placed it at the closed door of the portal capsule and injected some mana to activate it.
With a 'Hang!' Sound, it connected to the portal capsule and started spinning.
Rio retreated his steps and moved away from the activated spherical object.
It sent a projection ray on the floor in front of the portal capsule, which created a big magic circle similar to the one that was present at Teleporter tower.
The line of the magic circle started illuminating with blue light as if it had come to life.
A space rift opened right where the magic circle was, and it expanded to become double the size of a regular door.
'This place is similar to the room of the teleporter tower.'
He could see a big hall behind the opened space rift. There were Asura's warriors standing on the other side with some tools and devices on the ground.
When they saw the young blonde-haired boy, a look of admiration shone in their eyes.
'Why are they looking at me as if I'm their hero?'
Rio couldn't understand the reason behind their expression.
Asura warriors had already received the orders from Princess Helia to be ready with all the tools and guards for a new shelter.
One by one, ten asura warriors and an old man came out of the space rift.
"Well done, Young Man. I'm Isaac Jordan, head of the teleporter tower and also the chief who is managing all the shelters under Devlin's family. Along with Princess Helia, we are working on a top-secret mission to take down the shelters.
These warriors are trained under me and princess Helia to take care of these shelters. Today I received news that a young boy has been recruited to our classified work.
I was going to send my subordinate to handle the setup of each shelter but then I was summoned by Her highness. She told me to personally supervise everything. It appears you are very important for her highness."
The old man gave an amiable smile and explained the classified information about his mission.
Isaac Jordan continued, "You need to take this Space Link Teleport Artifact with you and give it back to Princess Helia. I would take the charge and handle the shelter's setup from here. This would take at least an hour."
He retrieved the Tiny transparent stars glittering spherical objects and handed them to Rio.
The blonde-haired boy nodded and received it, who was calmly observing him and listening to his message.
The old man walked towards the portal capsule as he indicated with his hands to bring something to the portal capsule.
A few asura warriors carried some magical tools from another side of the space rift and started arranging them up in the portal capsule room.
One magic tool was taken by Isaac Jordan who used it on the portal capsule. He pulled out the portal capsule from the walls and floors.
The Asura's warriors were instructed and carried it out of the space rift to the Teleporter tower.
Rio didn't bother them further and let the old man handle the shelters from here on.
He took the stairs that led to the exit and came out of the Iron wing underground shelter.
The blonde-haired boy saw the Fierce Porcupine and Armored Porcupine waiting for him outside.
The swarm of beasts was more than two hundred. It was an imposing arrangement of force for any yellow stage shelter to handle all alone.
Rio's eyes shone with an unwavering glint seeing his personal army consisting of brave Fierce and Armored porcupine beasts as a new plan of conquest started fabricating in his mind.
'More than two hundred beasts, it would be easy to take down any Yellow-Stage shelter with this arrangement.
Human warriors may take some time before they wake up and the government collects information about this incident from other twenty-nine humans.
I should better hurry and take this chance to claim all the neighboring shelters and not give them time to prepare for similar situations.'
Rio brought out the map given by Helia and looked at the pointed locations that he needed to claim.
There were a total of 149 remaining dots on the map after he claimed the iron wing underground shelter.
He stored the map inside his pocket and took out the spherical yellow stage pills.
Rio injected mana inside it and a bunch of notifications started ringing in his mind.

'"Emperor called it Pills while the AI recognizes it as the orbs." He read the notifications and mumbled quietly.
A total of 19 yellow stats points and 29 beasts souls were gained from this expedition.
His yellow stats points finally reached a total of forty. He was qualified to break through to the purple stage but due to Goddess's task, Rio was stuck at peak of Yellow-Stage.
He narrowed his eyebrows and turned around to gaze far away in the distance.
'Monarch Beast... It's as if it is calling me.'
Rio could feel a new location in far away land from here. It was on the other side of the shamor empire in the corrupted land. The boy even knew the name of the place for some reason but he put it aside for now.
"I don't even have any idea how long this task with Monarch beast would take or what unforeseen development waiting for me on the other side of this land.
I need to finish this conquest of the yellow stage shelter around the shamor empire first so it can be helpful to Lia's future." The blonde-haired boy said with an unfaltering voice as his sea-green eyes shone with a hint of warmth for his wifey.
Rio kicked the ground with his mana-enchanted foot and bolted towards the next shelter that was situated in the neighboring region.
His speed was faster than before as he was at 40 yellow stats points.
Like a dazzling meteor strike, A sixteen years old human boy was racing at the border of the shamor empire for the Asura's race future with unwavering resolve in his heart.
For an hour, he ran along with his beast army of Porcupine beasts.
The blonde-haired boy heard a notification that the Armored porcupine Emperor spirit was ready to be summoned as the cooldown of revival had finished.
Rio halted his speed as he had already reached the next location for his subjugation and was waiting outside carefully.
Armored Porcupine Emperor spirit frowned seeing the blonde-haired boy not making his move.
"Why are you waiting, master?" Porcupine Emperor spirit asked in puzzlement.
"You can also talk?" Rio was astonished to find out that the Emperor spirit could talk like a normal human.
He had never expected that they could speak the human - Asura language.
"Yeah. Even beasts can talk at a higher stage as their intelligence reaches a certain realm. However, We spirits are considered an intelligent race than the beasts which is also the reason we become their guardian." The dwarf-like figure explained with a proud look.
"I'm waiting for good timing so the enemy Emperor spirit doesn't get a chance to summon the beast of this area for reinforcements," Rio said in a composed manner.
"That won't happen, master. It's a classified knowledge among us to never reveal this secret so we can protect the beast from others. I was surprised that you were aware of this confidential information.
But be assured that the Emperor spirit of this shelter or any wouldn't reveal this secret to humans and help them summon a beast to support them.
If We, Emperor spirit, had exposed this piece of information, those cruel humans at a higher stage could've asked us to summon beasts around the shelters and let them do massacre of these innocent creatures so they can farm easy beast souls and stats points.
We would never reveal this secret knowledge to evil humans as we don't want the unnecessary slaughter of the beast." The Armored porcupine Emperor spirit said in explained in a sorrowful voice.
Hearing Dwarf-like figure words, Rio discovered that this classified information about the controlling beast with the help of spirit stone was a secret probably only known to Devlin's family and maybe a few others parties he didn't know about.
