Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

Amidst the whispers, the four people and a cat stepped into the faission hall

Zone 32’s mission hall was even more packed

A massive holographic screen showed real-time updates on mission progress fa every zone, and long lines snaked in fre

of the counters.

Dora was about to get in line when Clive steered her toward the side VIP lane.

“Anyone with dual supernatural abilities at Level 5 or higher can use this lane,” Clive explained simply as he swiped his I

card.

The gate slid open, and a staff member bowed respectfully. “Mr. Blackthorne, your team is registered.

“Here are your Zone 32 pass and emergency communicator.”

Dora shot Clive a raised eyebrow.

Clive cleared his throat, keeping a straight face, even though his ears were turning a little red.

As soon as they stepped onto the ground of Zone 32, a mysterious pressure seemed to close in from every angle.

It wasn’t just the difference in pollution levels, there was also an unsettling sense, like they were being watched by countle eyes.

Lioren moved ahead with nimble grace, his tabby cat form nearly melting into the curtain of rain, almost invisible agains the wet backdrop.

His amber eyes kept a sharp lookout, ears swiveling nonstop as he picked up even the faintest sounds.

Elmer immediately threw up a golden shield, wrapping all five of them in its protective glow.

Rain splashed against the shield, scattering tiny sparks of light. Clive called out, “It’s so suffocating here

“Stay close”

He took the lead, guiding them along a gentler, though winding, path.

The map showed this route meant an extra 3 miles, but it steered them clear of the deadhest pary of the Poison Miss

Visibility in the rain-soaked jungle was extremely low, so Clive and Lioren took turns leading the way

Rafe walked to Dora’s left, holding a handheld detector Energy readings thickered across the screci

“The pollution here is more than three times higher than at the edge. Rafe said, his blue eyes serious as he checked in readings on his Optical Brain

“Here, the alien beasts get a power boost while our stamina takes a hut and we’ll bann through ou crystal energy mi no

time

“There’s a heat signature about three hundred meters ahead, near the canyon Rate omarmared as a low warning

Almost at the same moment. Loren arched his back, a low, warning grow! rumbling on his threat

zalice raised his band signaling the team to halt “The canyon is the only route to tonight’s camp there no other way

“If we try to go around it’ll sack on three extra hours, and we’d have to pass right along the swamp’s edge

He closed his eyes, sending on a ripple of shadow type supernatural ability After few seconds, he opened them again. ‘One Level 5., Primary stage, fifteen Level Is, and one Level 3.

“It’s a pack of mutated Ironclaw Wolves, looks like they’re all from the same family”

Elmer clenched his fists nervously. “That many?”

Ironclaw Wolves are mutated alien beasts that hunt in packs, this kind of number is totally normal for them. Rafe analyz coolly

Dora unholstered her gun and checked the energy magazine. “Are we splitting up as planted?”

Clive nodded. “I’ll take the Level 5 alpha wolf.

Lioren and Rafe, handle the Level 4s, watch each other’s backs.

Elmer, keep the shield up and make sure Dora’s safe first. If you get a chance, help out with the attack.

And as for the Level 3…”

He turned to Dora.

Leave it to me.” Dora replied, her gaze unwavering.

Dora, don’t!” Elmer said, his voice tight with worry. “It’s way too dangerous!”

It’s only a Level 3,” Dora replied, pulling out her Star Butterfly/pistol and checking the magazine. “Just right for some targe

>ractice!”

Stay safe, and don’t try to act tough,” Clive said, giving Dora an intense, meaningful look. As he turned away, a faint spark c ightning flickered in his eyes.

The wolf pack’s howls were drawing ever nearer.

Out of the curtain of rain, the first shadow crashed through the undergrowth.

it was a giant wolf, nearly 6.56 feet tall at the shoulder.

Its gray-black fur was soaked and plastered to its rippling muscles, and its front paws extended razor sharp mecals/des 1.5 feet long, gouging deep furrows into the stone beneath it. Its eyes were burning with a ravenous, predatory grate

It was the Level 5 Mutated Ironclaw Wolf King.

Behind it, over a dozen Level 4 mutated wolves spread out in a tan, while a much smaller Level & wolf was skulking an rear, looking for all the world like the runt of the litter

“Here they come,” Clive said, and before the words even left his mouth, he vanished from sight

The next instant, he reappeared to the left of the Mutated frondlaw Woll king a crackling ball of lightning ha his hand

which he slammed hard into the wolf’s flank

The Mutated Ironclaw Woll King reacted instantly, twisting away just in time. The lightning ball grazed us side exploding to

burst of blackened fur

The fight broke out in a flash.

Lioren became a streak, toward the nearest Level 1 Mutated Ironclaw Wolf As the ght broke out, his tabby cat form suddenly expanded to the size of a leopard, his claws wreathed in swirling cyan wind blades

With a single swipe, the wind blades sliced through the curtain of rain, carving deep, bloody wounds into the Mutated

Ironclaw Wolf’s hide.

Rafe didn’t charge in recklessly.

He stood at the edge of Elmer’s shield, now holding a silver energy pistol that looked like it was part of a set with Dora’s.

This was a high-grade energy gun he’d prepared for himself, powerful enough to pierce through Level 5 alien beasts

With this gun, he could jump into the fight without revealing what level his supernatural ability was at.

His blue eyes cool and steady, Rafe zeroed in on his target and squeezed the trigger.

The energy beam hit a Level 4 Mutated Ironclaw Wolf dead-on in the eye, and the beast let out a blood-curdling scream as it went down hard.

“Your aim is sharp,” Elmer couldn’t help but praise, all while keeping the shield steady.

“When your supernatural ability falls short, just let your gun do the talking!” Rafe grinned, firing off another round.

He wasn’t aiming to kill, instead, he targeted joints and eyes, setting up opportunities for Lioren to strike.

The battle between Clive and the Mutated Ironclaw Wolf King was pure chaos, nothing else even came close

Clive’s shadowy form tangled with the hulking gray-black wolf in the pouring rain, lightning crackling as metal claws crashed together, sending sparks flying with every thunderous clash.

His shadow-type supernatural ability crept out quietly, turning the ground beneath the Mutated Ironclaw Wolf King’s paws into a swamp of darkness, slowing the beast down and making it harder for the wolf king to move

Dora didn’t jump into the fight right away.

She gripped her gun, searching for the Level 3 Mutated Ironclaw Welt.

She spotted it, hiding behind a massive tree at the edge of the battlefield, nervously watching the bache

It was only half the size of the other wolves, its fur lighter and its metal claws much shorter It looked inexperient
