Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday-Chapter 311: Pretty Shadow Beasts

Standing at the edge of the portal, Grace's sharp gaze surveyed the team gathered around her.

The strong wind was howling through the surrounding dense trees, carrying the scent of rain-soaked earth. There had been another raining incident in several cities of the old ruins of Starship Country, but it was just normal rain and nothing related to the apocalypse.

Davian was standing right beside her. All it took was a wave of his wrist and the portal completely disappeared from the sight.

[No disturbance detected]

2025 notified her through their shared mindlink.

Grace inhaled deeply, allowing herself to relax. Earlier in the day, 2025 had finally revealed information about the group pursuing Rune. It appeared that these people were currently hiding in the ruins of a city near the coastal area closest to Starfall Isle.

This only proved that they knew about Rune's whereabouts, and were waiting for him to step out.

Rune also revealed that there might be possibility for these people to slip inside Starfall by using Davian's portal, and 2025 confirmed that such a thing was a high possibility.

That's why she had the little creature on alert to make sure those people wouldn't be trying to get hold on the portal she and her team just used to appear in the mountains of Country R.

Though the possibility of such a thing happening was low - considering those people were still in Starship Country and the portal was being opened in Country R - but she still didn't want to take any chances.

Rune hadn't tagged along for this mission, and the only reason behind it was the warrior examination that was taking place at the academy at this very moment.

Now, they could track the movements of their enemies. But that was all. Rune hadn't decided about how and when he was going to handle these people. And he wasn't wrong, killing these people was only a temporary solution.

But since he needed time to make his decision, she had no trouble in providing him with that time. She was going to make sure that this group of invaders wouldn't be creating trouble, and it wasn't only for Rune, she wanted to keep all her people safe from unnecessary drama.

Shaking her head, she pushed away these thoughts to focus on the matter at hand. They were out on hunt.

"Let's move." She informed the people around her who immediately started following after her and Davian.

Barely five minutes would have passed before a low growl echoed from the shadows surrounding the area.

Kevin lifted his rifle while his sharp eyes scanned the area. "These damn things are always watching us."

And he was right. These beasts could sense their presence. Hence, they always get alerted everything they appear on these hunts. But instead of running away or hiding, they always end up attacking. It was almost like eliminating humans had become their second nature.

Grace raised her hand, channeling her connection to the Infinite Realm. The space around her rippled before a wave of golden energy spread outward.

The very next moment, three massive creatures appeared behind her.

The first one was a flying Snow Lion Beast - Class 7.

It was a creature of pure elegance and strength. Its thick fur gleamed like fresh snow. It's massive wings were feathered in icy blue and silver, stretched wide as it stepped forward. Cold mist swirled around its paws as it stepped forward, scanning the surroundings with its sapphire eyes.

The second one was a Fiery Vermillion Bird - Class 7.

It was a magnificent beast wreathed in flames with its red-and-gold feathers flickering with heat. Each of its graceful movement left behind trails of fire, illuminating the darkness like a second sun. Its keen golden eyes were burning with the promise of destruction.

The third one was a Five-Tailed Black Wolf - Class 8.

Tjis one was sleek and powerful with jet-black fur that gave it an almost spectral appearance. Each of its five tails carried the power of earth and shadow, curling like whips of elemental energy. Its silver eyes gave the impression of a powerful storm.

The warriors were gaping in awe as they took in the prettiest Shadow Beasts they had seen... except for the dragon.

"By the heavens…" Marlo, one of the warriors, whispered.

Grace decided to introduce the new companions to the warriors. "Let these friends join the battle and train. They will be the one protecting you all today."

Other than Davian, Kevin and Aleena were the only other warriors in the team who were aware of her personal army of Shadow Beasts.

As if on cue, the ground trembled, signaling the arrival of the creatures.

The first wave actually appeared in the form of the infected. Right behind them were the Shadow and Monster Beasts.

Grace didn't hesitate and issued the command. "Take them down!"

Gunfire erupted as the warriors opened fire. Explosions tore through the air, cutting down infected creatures as plasma rounds seared through their flesh.

But the real battle belonged to the Beasts.

---

Flying Snow Lion was the first to make its move. It clashed with a group of monstrous Shadow Raptors, creatures that looked like skeletal birds with blackened talons and acidic spit.

With a powerful flap of its wings, the Snow Lion unleashed a storm of razor-sharp ice shards, freezing several raptors mid-air before shattering them. Its speed was unparalleled. It dodged and weaved between attacks before diving with lethal precision, ripping apart the creatures with its claws.

But for every enemy that was falling, more were appearing to take their place. And yet, it appeared the three pretty Shadow Beasts were actually excited about their new challengers.

The Fiery Vermillion Bird burned through the sky like a comet, its flames igniting the night.

Hordes of infected and Beasts rushed toward it, ready to take it down. But the bird didn't flinch.

With a single beat of its wings, a wave of fire erupted and consumed everything in its path, filling the air with screams as the powerful blaze took down everything in its path.
