Chapter 725 Fights Everywhere
Fein woke up in the morning, feeling a sense of unease in his gut. He got up and walked to the window, pulling back the curtains to see the sky had turned a deep shade of purple. As he stood there, he noticed something strange happening in the distance. Portals began to appear all over the continent, and hordes of monsters poured out from them, signaling the start of the sleeping apocalypse.
As the portals appeared in the sky once again, Fein knew what was coming. The hordes of monsters pouring out from the portals were more organized this time, and their ranks were higher. However, the humanity had been preparing for this moment for years, and their efforts paid off. Fein stood atop the highest tower of his castle, surveying the battlefield with his hawk-like eyes.
His shadow army, consisting of warriors that had been trained in the art of stealth and assassination, moved in complete silence. They blended into the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The monsters never saw them coming, and Fein's army decimated them with ease.
Meanwhile, in the North, East, and West, the defenders fought with all their might. Their skills and strategies had improved since the last invasion, and they were able to hold their ground. Central Plains, however, did not just hold their ground. They excelled, and their prowess on the battlefield was unmatched.
The two moons in the sky shone brightly, casting an eerie glow over the battlefield. The screams of the dying and the clash of metal against scales filled the air. But even amidst the chaos, Fein's mind remained calm and focused.
As the battle raged on, Fein gave out orders to his shadow army through his earpiece. He had equipped them all with state-of-the-art communication devices, enabling them to coordinate their movements and attacks flawlessly.
"Target the B-rank monsters first! Take them out quickly and move on to the next!" Fein commanded.
His shadow army moved like a well-oiled machine, taking out their targets with precision and efficiency. They were able to keep the monsters at bay and prevent them from reaching the city walls.
Fein could see that the defenders in the other regions were doing their best, but they were struggling. He knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to prevent any further casualties.
"Send reinforcements to the North and West! We cannot let them fall!" Fein ordered his subordinates.
The shadow army split into two groups, one heading north and the other heading west. They moved with lightning speed, crossing the distance in mere minutes. Fein's army reached the two regions just in time, and their timely intervention turned the tide of the battle.
Fein breathed a sigh of relief as the last of the monsters were slain. The portals closed, and the moons disappeared from the sky. The sound of cheering and applause filled the air as the defenders rejoiced their hard-fought victory. Fein looked on, proud of what he and his army had accomplished.
Despite the victory, Fein knew that the fight was not over yet. He had to continue to train and prepare for the next invasion, which he knew was inevitable. But for now, what's more, they only eliminated the monsters that invaded their regions. Majority of the monsters are outside the stronghold, or what humanity called "The Wasteland".
...
Fein and his shadow army defended the South perfectly, but they were not the only ones fighting. Random degu users all over the continent used their abilities to kill monsters that came out of the portals. One such user was a young woman named Yuna, who found herself face-to-face with a fearsome creature.
Yuna stood her ground as the monster charged towards her, its massive claws gleaming in the moonlight. The creature was a Behemoth, one of the most dangerous monsters that had come through the portals. Its massive size and incredible strength made it a formidable opponent. Yuna concentrated, and her hands began to glow with a soft blue light. She had the ability to control water, and she was going to use it to defeat the Behemoth. She raised her arms, and a powerful jet of water shot out of her palms and hit the creature squarely in the chest. The Behemoth stumbled back, clearly surprised by the sudden attack. Yuna didn't give it a chance to recover. 𝗳𝒓eℯ𝘄𝘦𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝗲Ɩ． 𝑐𝒐𝘮
She continued to unleash a barrage of water, slamming the monster repeatedly until it fell to the ground, lifeless. Yuna's breathing was heavy as she took a moment to catch her breath. She looked at the monster's massive body, now nothing more than a lifeless husk. She felt a sense of relief, knowing that she had done her part to protect her people. As she turned to leave, Yuna felt a sharp pain in her side. She looked down to see that the Behemoth's claws had caught her, tearing through her clothing and cutting into her flesh. She knew she needed medical attention, but she also knew that she had to keep moving. There were still monsters out there that needed to be defeated.
...
Somewhere in the continent, a young woman with short black hair and a serious stepped forward on the vast expanse on the wasteland with a serious expression. She wore a leather jacket and carried a small crossbow on her back. As the direwolves snarled and bared their teeth, she calmly raised her hand and summoned a gust of wind.

The direwolves lunged forward, but the wind pushed them back, sending them tumbling to the ground. With a flick of her wrist, the degu user sent a sharp gust of wind towards the pack, slicing through their thick fur and leaving deep wounds.
The direwolves howled in pain and anger, but the degu user didn't falter. She continued to manipulate the wind, using it to lift the wolves into the air and throw them into each other. As they struggled to regain their footing, the degu user unleashed another powerful gust of wind, knocking them back even further.
Despite their size and strength, the direwolves were no match for the degu user's abilities. Within minutes, the pack lay defeated at her feet, whimpering and bleeding. The degu user lowered herself to the ground, panting and sweating from the effort of using her powers.
"That was close," she muttered to the other degu users. "I didn't expect to run into direwolves out here."
One of the other degu users nodded in agreement. "We have to be careful. These monsters are getting stronger every day."
The young woman nodded, her expression serious once again. "We can't let our guard down. We have to be ready for anything."
The group continued on their journey, wary of what other dangers lay ahead. But with degu users like the young woman on their side, they knew they had a fighting chance against whatever the wasteland had in store for them.
