Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday-Chapter 306: Dragon’s First Hunt

The aircraft trembled slightly as a golden ripple shimmered in the air outside and a powerful presence filled the sky. This force was so overwhelming that even the seasoned warriors in the aircraft found themselves holding their breath.

Then, in a blink, a massive figure emerged from thin air... a dragon.

Its scales gleamed under the sunlight, a dazzling mix of deep obsidian and molten gold. Its majestic horns made it look extremely dangerous. It's stormy eyes were locked onto the flying monster beast that had halted the moment it sensed the dragon's powerful presence in the sky.

The warriors inside the aircraft could only stare. They all were frozen in place.

"It has grown up into such a majestic beast." Rune broke the heavy silence as he watched the dragon heading toward its prey.

Grace just smiled and watched as the dragon made it impossible for the flying Monster Beast to flee and save its life. The giant snake was determined to hunt down some minions and nothing was going to stop it.

The flying monster beast let out a screech as it charged toward the aircraft in an attempt of running away from the dragon. But before it could have even reached anywhere near the aircraft, the dragon moved.

It was so fast that the warriors barely had time to process what just happened. One moment, the monster beast was there - charging, screaming, ready to attack, and the very next moment, there was nothing but a blur of dark scales and golden light.

Then... crack!

A sickening snap echoed through the sky as the dragon's jaws clamped down on the monster beast's throat. The creature let out one last, strangled shriek before the dragon whipped its head to the side and ripped it apart in a single, brutal motion.

The warriors inside the aircraft could do nothing but stare as the dragon casually let the corpse drop from its mouth. The shredded remains of the flying monster beast tumbled through the sky before crashing into the forest below, leaving a bloody trail in its wake.

The silence inside the aircraft was deafening.

"Did… did that just happen?" William finally managed to whisper.

None of them had ever seen a dragon before. None of them had even known one existed outside of myths and ancient texts. Yet here it was, not only real but unfathomably powerful.

Grace smirked as she leaned back in her seat. "Believe me now?" she asked, watching their stunned expressions with mild amusement.

The warriors exchanged uneasy glances. They were still struggling to grasp what they had just witnessed.

"That's…" one of them finally spoke, his voice barely above a whisper, "…a living catastrophe."

Grace and Rune only chuckled.

"Alright," she said while standing up. "Now that we have dealt with the welcoming committee, it's time to get to work."

The aircraft descended smoothly, landing in a once-great city now reclaimed by nature. Buildings were standing there while covered in thick vines, their broken windows reflecting the golden sunlight. Cracked roads were filled with blooming wildflowers, and small streams were running through what had once been bustling streets.

But beneath all this beauty, danger was lurking.

The moment the aircraft's engines powered down, Grace felt the weight of countless predatory eyes fixating on them.

Her lips curled into a small, eager smile.

She had been waiting for this.

Stepping onto the solid ground, she took a deep breath. Unlike the warriors, she and Rune weren't wearing armored suits as they don't really needed those, especially now that the air had become cleaner than it had been in years, but it was still carrying the lingering scent of death.

Turning to her warriors, she gave the command they had been waiting for. "Spread out. Hunt down every Shadow and Monster Beast in the area, and the infected too."

Even though the warriors were still high on the shock of witnessing the dragon's power, they did not hesitate. They split into teams and headed to fulfill the mission.

As for Grace, she clicked her fingers and the aircraft disappeared. She and Rune were going to observe from the distance as the warriors would hunt down the creatures of the old world.

The first attack came fast.

From the shadows of a collapsed building, a Shadow Beast lunged at one of the warriors. It was massive and fast.

Boom!

A surge of flame engulfed the creature, burning it to ashes in seconds. Grace lowered her hand. She and Grace were standing at the top of a five storey building nearby.

"Focus," she reminded the warriors. "These things are faster than before."

The warriors nodded and moved with trained precision. They had spent years training to hunt down these very creatures, and now, they could finally unleash their pent-up hunger for battle.

Within next few minutes, the streets were filled with sounds of swords clashing, guns being fired, and super powers being used as the warriors took down the beasts.

The dragon, which had been soaring above the city, also decided to join in the fun.

With a single sweep of its tail, it sent a horde of Shadow Beasts crashing into a crumbling tower. Its massive claws slashed infected into halves, and its breaths of ice froze everything that came in its way.

The warriors were hardly able to believe what they were seeing, it was as if a god of war had descended onto the battlefield.

The beast was an exact copy of its master.

A Class 7 Monster Beast lunged at Grace, its jagged fangs dripping with venom. But she dodged effortlessly. In one smooth motion, she summoned a blade of pure energy and sliced through the creature's neck in a single strike.

Another beast rushed at her from behind, but without even turning, she snapped her fingers. A pillar of ice erupted from the ground, skewering the creature mid-air.

She turned to face another wave of beasts, but before she coukd have taken a single step toward them, the dragon was taking them down in one single sweep.

The interruption earned it a glare from her, but it barely cared.
