Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99

When Cassian led the Shadow Demon Beast into the camp, the feilitary guards, and the people already in the camp were thrown into chaos, scrambling to fight back as they saw the Pinnacle Level 6 alien beast charging an

The soldiers left behind in the camp were well-trained, but their highest rank was only Moderate Level 6, and they had no crystal energy to recharge.

The battle quickly became one-sided.

The Shadow Demon Beast rampaged through the camp, even when the soldiers and civilians hit it with their supernatural abilities, they barely scratched it.

In just a few minutes, more than a dozen people were injured or killed.

Cassian, watching from above, could see that even though the Shadow Demon Beast was still donating the fight its combat supernatural ability was clearly weakening.

Charred wounds had appeared on its body, oozing dark purple blood, and its movements were noticeably slower than

It’s hurt!” Ray shouted, shielding Wendy as they ducked behind a flipped hovercar.

Wendy’s eyes flickered with cunning. “Cassian, once it’s a bit weaker, we’ll…”

Before she could finish, the Shadow Demon Beast suddenly stopped attacking, as if something had caught its attention. Its

lood-red eyes turned toward a spot outside the camp, and it let out a low growl.

Then, it abandoned the remaining soldiers in the camp and charged off in that direction.

Cassian immediately followed, tracking it from the air.

He hadn’t flown more than two miles when his eyes widened in shock…

Down in the dense forest, Dora and her group were fighting a desperate retreat, the Shadow Demon Beast was clearly after

it’s Dora… Cassian thought, his emotions swirling in a mess inside.

ealousy, hatred, and a twisted thrill all mixed together.

If she dies here, so be it, Cassian sneered to himself.

He didn’t lift a finger. Instead, he hid his presence and perched on a thick branch of a giant tree, just watching with eben

ndifference.

The moment the Shadow Demon Beast lunged at Dora’s team, Cassian saw Clive and the cat move with twredible spe Elmer threw up a shield with everything he had, and Rate threw himself in the way, trying to block the blow

But what really shocked him was Dora, the female who used to be spoiled, arrogant, and clueless always causing trouble mist

for the fun of it.

Now, she was calmly raising her gun and fring, her eyes showing nothing but herce determination no trace of fear at all

When did she become like this? Cassian couldn’t help but wonder

“How did it go?” Wendy asked anxiously, stepping out from her hiding spot, her hair tousled.

The Shadow Demon Beast is attacking Dora and her team, Cassian replied, his expression grim as he revered to hav human form. “When I left them, they were still fighting

Ray frowned. “So what now? Should we keep harvesting the tree?”

“Let’s hold off on the tree for now,” Wendy said suddenly her eyes glinting with cunning. Just as we were about to harvest it

a Pinnacle Level 6 Shadow Demon Beast came out of nowhere and attacked us…”

“Yeah let’s leave the tree alone for now. This place isn’t safe. Let’s clear out of here, Cassian said

“If we can’t handle this tree, I bet no one else can either.”

The he pulled an encrypted communicator from his pocket.

His father, Kael, had given it to him, to be used only in the most urgent emergencies.

He turned it on and quietly reported the situation.

On the other end, Kael’s voice was cool and sharp. “I’ll send a team in. Don’t let the military in the training zone catch wind of this. The Shadow Demon Beast and that blueberry tree, they’re the Shawn family’s now.”

“Understood,” Cassian said.

After ending the call, Cassian glanced toward the blueberry tree. “It’s going to take at least five or six hours for my fathers people to get here.

“Let’s find a good hiding spot and top up our crystal energy while we wait.”

Meanwhile, Dora and her team found a cave right at their location to take shelter in.

Dora immediately pulled out her first aid kit and started treating Rafe’s wounds.

Three deep claw marks slashed across his body, so deep the bone was vigible. The edges were stained with a strange dark purple, laced with corrosive energy, even regular healing meds barely worked.

Elmer stepped up and did his best to heal him with his healing-type supernatural ability, but it barel made a videre ice

He was already drained from the fight.

“Elmer, take some time to absorb the crystal core,” Dora said, pulling out the one they’d just gotten See it it’s enough tok you up to Level 5°

“The rest goes to Rafe You two are the lowest ranked in the team right now With that. Dora moved on to tend to Ch

Lioren’s wounds.

“Thanks, but let Elmer level up first. Just patch me up. I’ll manage. Rafe said his voice weak but determined

He thought. It’s pointless to use those crystal cores on me

Beastfolk healed fast; the higher their level, the quicker they bounced back

She grabbed some chips and cookies from her Spatial Realm, so her beast rates could refuel their crystal energy tast

The beast mates were already used to Dora’s snacks having crystal energy in them and they munched away with big grins The crystal energy they’d just used up was restored almost instantly.

Elmer used that rare Level 5 metal-type crystal core to level up. Since it matched his metal-type supernatural ability just one might’ve been enough to push him straight to Levels.

But the healing-type supernatural ability was notoriously tough to advance, so he had to absorb five Level 4 crystal cores one after another before he finally managed to break through and reach Level 5 in both supernatural abilities.

After eveling up, Elmer cast his shield, and the golden light was much more solid than before. Suddenly, fie remembered something. “Did anyone else notice? That Shadow Demon Beast was actually wounded.”

Everyone was taken aback.

Thinking back, they realized the Shadow Demon Beast’s flank had a patch of unnatural charring, and its movements seemed a little stiff.

“Why did it suddenly take off like that? Something’s off here…” Rafe reasoned, his brows furrowed. “Could it be that…?”

“It must have something even more important to protect,” Dora interjected, her eyes gleaming. “We need to go after it!”

Clive frowned. “That’s way too risky.”

“But it’s in bad shape now, and it’s clearly heading back to its nest,” Dora said, her mind racing.

“When an mutated alien beast is badly hurt, its instincts will make it return to the safest place it knows. There’s probably something valuable it’s guarding there,” she added.
