As the portals continued to open, more and more monsters emerged. Fein's shadow army continued their relentless defense against the invading creatures. Their movements were fluid and synchronized, like a well-oiled machine. With a nod from their leader, they split into smaller groups, each taking on a different type of monster.
In one group, the shadow soldiers faced off against a group of orcs. The orcs were massive, standing over seven feet tall and wielding crude weapons made of bone and metal. The shadow soldiers were smaller, but they were quick and nimble, darting in and out of the orc's reach and striking with precise attacks.
In another group, they battled against a plant monster that had vines for arms and leaves for armor. The plant creature could regenerate its limbs almost instantly, making it a difficult opponent. But the shadow soldiers had one advantage - they could phase through objects. They used this ability to slip through the gaps in the plant monster's defenses and deliver critical blows.
Finally, they found themselves face to face with a vampire. The creature was terrifying, with razor-sharp teeth and claws that could slice through steel. It was fast and agile, and it had already taken down several other degu users. But the shadow soldiers were undaunted. They closed in on the vampire, their movements coordinated and precise.
As the battle raged on, a woman degu user with the ability to create explosive blasts found herself in danger. She had taken down several monsters with her powerful attacks, but she was surrounded and outnumbered. Just when it seemed like she was about to be overwhelmed, one of the shadow soldiers appeared beside her, blocking a deadly blow from a nearby monster.
The woman was stunned. She had never seen a shadow soldier up close before. She watched in amazement as the soldier moved with incredible speed and agility, taking down the monsters with ease. She knew that she would not have survived without the shadow soldier's help.
As the battle came to a close, the shadow soldiers regrouped and began to phase out of existence. They were doing their duty, defending the South against the invading hordes. And they would continue to do so, as long as there was a threat to the degu users and the people they protected.
...
One of the affected places, a small village located at the edge of a forest at the border of the South, far from Shadow Soldiers range of activities. The villagers had barricaded themselves inside their homes, but it was of no use when an enormous turtle, 200 meters in size, started wreaking havoc. The A-rank monster's tough shell was impervious to most attacks, and its massive size allowed it to crush buildings with ease. The villagers could only watch in horror as the creature roamed through their village, destroying everything in its path.
The turtle was in the midst of devouring three innocent middle-aged men when a man suddenly appeared from the crowd. He wore a long coat that flapped wildly in the wind as he stepped forward. His hair was tied back in a loose ponytail, and his face was set in a determined expression. The man was a degu user, and his ability was to make any surface he touched smooth. It was a rather unusual ability that had never been seen before and he has a spear in his hand.
The man looked up at the turtle and assessed the situation. He knew that he had to act quickly if he was going to save the village from certain destruction. He closed his eyes and focused his mind on his ability. He could feel the power surging through his veins as he concentrated. He opened his eyes and reached out to touch the ground.
As soon as his hand made contact with the earth, the man's ability activated. The surface beneath the turtle's feet became incredibly smooth, causing the monster to lose its balance. The turtle's massive body stumbled and fell, crashing to the ground with an earth-shattering thud. The villagers watched in amazement as the man continued to make the ground beneath the turtle's feet smoother and smoother.
The turtle tried to get up, but every time it did, it would slip and fall again. The man kept his concentration, and his ability continued to work its magic. The monster began to get frustrated, and it let out an ear-piercing roar. The villagers covered their ears in pain, but the man remained calm and focused.
Suddenly, the turtle lashed out with one of its massive legs, sending debris flying everywhere. The man leaped back, narrowly avoiding being crushed. He looked up at the monster and realized that he needed to up his game if he was going to win this fight.
The man reached out and touched a nearby building. The surface became smooth, and he quickly ran up the wall. He leaped off the wall and landed on the turtle's back. The monster was so massive that the man looked like an ant in comparison. However, he was determined to win.
The man touched the turtle's shell, and his ability once again activated. The surface beneath his hand became incredibly smooth, causing the turtle to slip and slide. The man began to run across the turtle's back, making the surface smoother and smoother as he went.
The monster roared in frustration, but it was helpless against the man's ability. The man continued to run across the turtle's back until he reached its head. He touched the monster's forehead, then activated his ability, the turtle's skin all over the the body became smooth causing its turtle shell to slip out of its body. The degu user took this opportunity to attack the defenseless turtle consecutively with his spear.

The man had saved the village from certain destruction, and he had done it in a way that no one had ever seen before. His ability to make surfaces smooth had proven to be an incredibly useful tool in defeating the A-rank turtle. The villagers looked on in amazement as the man disappeared into the distance, his power and determination
