Chapter 15. TOP STAGES
The first three stages of a beast master
[ ] BEAST CUB STAGE
one to five spirit cores
The very starting point of a Beast Master
The Beast Cub stage is not always added to the first three stages of a Beast Master, it only serves as the very basic of core formation.
[ ] NOBLE BEAST STAGE
The fusion of the five spirit cores to form the Ringed core.
When a Beast Master enters the Noble stage, the spirit weapon is then formed.
[ ] BEAST KNIGHT STAGE
A second Ringed core is formed
[ ] BEAST ASCENSION STAGE
The third Ringed core is formed
It called the Ascension Stage because a new power is unlocked and granted to the Beast Master.
That power helps to prepare for the next stage.

"Question"
Lan raised his hands.
"Sure"
Wifred nodded.
"So we unlock our spirit weapon after evolving to the Noble stage yeah?, but why does Sylver posses one when she's still a Cub?"
Lan asked.
The others were also curious.
"Like I said earlier Slyver is a special case. Even I can't fathom it. What do you think Barron?"
Wifred faced Barron.
Barron raised a brow, then grumbled under his breath before speaking.
"When you get to the academy, go to the library and study"
He rest his back on a tree.
Wifred chuckled
"Another question"
Lan said.
"We can gain powers when we reach the Ascension Stage, why does Bryon control ice?"
"Yeah I'm still curious about that. It happened after my awakening"
Bryon said.
"That's a special trait that comes with most awakening, it has to do with the type of spirit beast. For your case, your beast is a polar bear, which survives in cold and ice habitat. So you gain an affinity for ice.
That affinity will evolve when you reach the Ascension Stage"
"So what's after Ascension?"
Billy asked.
The first three evolution differs greatly from each other, but the other three are a league of their own.
[ ] BEAST TRANSCENDENCE STAGE
The fourth Ringed core is formed.
The transcendence stage grants the beast master the power of transformation .
A beast master could transform into hybrid beast of their current spirit beasts, granting the master a whole new level of power and strength. Some may even gain complete transformation.
[ ] DEMI-GOD BEAST STAGE
The fifth Ringed core is formed.
This is a whole new realm entirely.
The beast master becomes a half deity or a half immortal. Their strength suppasses the mortal realm of man, being able to destroy an entire kingdom with just one strike. A half god, a Demi god.
At the Demi god stage, the beast master gain the ability of a domain. They could transform and change the geometric structure of a large area of land into what they dim fit for them, creating a whole new domain. The beast master is stronger in their domain.
[ ] CELESTIAL BEAST STAGE
The last known stage of a beast master's evolution.
This is the fusion of the five Ringed core to form the Infinity core, a single core with five rings spinning around it in an endless motion.
They could harness an entirely different energy known as Celestial energy, vastly different from spirit energy.
At this stage, the beast master is..... typically a god.

**************
The kids stared at Wifred with widen eyes and stunned expression.
"Wooow...."
Lan whispered
"I wonder what kind of god I could become when I reach the Celestial stage"
"Keep dreaming about it"
Billy scoffed
"How many Celestials are they currently?
Bryon asked
"In thousands of years, they've only been one"
Wifred replied
"Wait really, is evolution that difficult?"
Lan said.
Wifred laughed again. The clueless kids amused him.
"Barron is currently in the Transcendence stage"
He pointed at Barron
The kids eyes widen
"He Transcended ten years ago"
"WHAT!"
They yelled.
Sylver rolled her eyes at them.
' And I thought I was twelve years old '
She thought.
"Brats!"
Barron snapped at them
"He formed the second spirit core a while ago making him a two star transcendent"
Wifred added.
"Ten years "
Bryon mumbled.
"Yes it's that difficult. Transcendent beast masters are valued and they serve directly to the King. Most beast masters gave up on evolution because of bottlenecks, no matter what or how they try, they can't go any more higher"
Wifred explained.
"What about you, what stage are you?"
Lan asked.
"Me, well I'm still at the Ascension stage, a four star Ascendent "
He pointed at Slade
"Slade is a three star transcendent"
They turned to face him.
Slade shrugged.
"What about the King?"
Billy asked.
The question peaked their interest.
"There are four Demi god beast masters in the whole continent. Our king being one of them, another one rules the neighboring kingdom and the third one rules the Empire"
"What about the Celestial? You said there have only been one in thousands of years so what happened to him?"
Billy asked.
"Well they said he disappeared a thousand years ago. Celestials are gods so they can live for a long as they like."
Wifred finally stood and stretched.
"Well guys, it's been a fun story night. Your actual training starts tomorrow, so try and get some sleep "
"Wait.."
Lan called out
"You said that there are four Demi god beast masters and you only mentioned three. What happened to the fourth?
"Oh him? The fourth decided to live in complete isolation away from people."
Wifred smiled
" He even created his own domain. Have you heard of the Devil's mountain? Heck, only a fool will climb that mountain"
