…
Immediately after Turan, Rex, and Anna came out of the Spider Swamp a few hours ago, they instantly discovered that something was wrong.
At that time of the morning, the beast invasion was still in its starting phase which prompted the 3 of them to find a place to hide.
It was before their eyes that the beast invasion started.
From their hiding spot, they saw as thousands of beasts started trooping out of the swamp forest towards the direction of Obedin City.
Their first reaction at that moment was to send a warning message to the army but their AOS phones and radio communication gadgets could not connect to the army since there was an electronic interference in the air.
They instantly regretted their decision to hide since as they were already surrounded by so many beasts, it was now impossible for them to try out-sprinting the beasts to the city to warn them since the beasts would just attack them.
They had no choice but to wait until the beasts fully invaded the city and their attention was no longer here before they could finally move.
During this agonizing wait of over 4 hours, Rex received a system notification about a new mission. Though Rex was worried about the city, he was thrilled with the system rewards that he stood to get once he completed the missions.
His only worry was that since his system was giving him so many rewards, then this mission was probably going to be extremely hard.
He worried about the safety of the city for all 4 hours.
Once the 4-hour mark elapsed and the concentration of beasts reduced, without wasting any time, they moved towards Obedin City at their fastest speed.
For the last and most rewarding main mission, Rex could decide to sit the battle out and he would still complete it. This was easy reward in his opinion but Rex could not bring himself to stay idle when the city was in danger.
What worried him more was the protecting Bowling Town mission. Unlike Obedin City which was heavily fortified, Bowling Town enjoyed none of those.
If the invasion extended all the way to his town, Rex was afraid to think of the consequences. This was why he ran towards the city at full speed.
Rex's only worry was the fact that all these happened in the day. On the day when exposed under the sun, he could not fight at his full strength, and to keep secrecy, he could not expose his vampire abilities also.
All these worried Rex but he temporarily put them all out of his mind and focused on the present.
Due to the speed at which they moved; it only took them 30 minutes to arrive at Obedin City. They arrived to meet a ruined city.
The protective wall still stood and the defensive line held, but the city was ruined. From afar, Rex and Turan could see raging fire and smoke rising into the skies as the hot sun beat down, encouraging the battle to continue raging on.
From afar, they could already see the numerous casualties both on the beast sides and on the side of the army of Obedin City.
Rex's eyes turned red. "Turan, lead Anna to safety".
"What of you?"
Rex did not answer as he revealed his intentions with action.
Shing!
Once Rex pulled Berserker out of its scabbard, he scanned the beasts.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Once Rex finished scanning the beasts through his system, his sword swiped across in the shape of a crescent moon as he unleashed a boomerang slash.
He barely corrected his center of gravity before he swiped his sword across again for a double Plutonian slash as heads and blood flew in his wake.

Once Rex started, he was unstoppable as he started carving a path through the beasts straight towards the protective wall where the main battle was fought.
When he encountered intermediate mystic beasts, he wriggled into the cluster of beasts, using other beasts as obstacles to lose those stronger than him as this way, he got to the wall in just 2 minutes.
By now, the soldiers on the wall already saw him as they extended a rope for him to climb up. In no time, Rex scaled the wall and joined the defense line of the protective wall to resist the invasion of the beasts.
Once Rex joined the defense line, he gave his all as, alongside each other, they worked together to resist the invasion of the army of beasts.
His system repeatedly sent him notifications of his mission progress and of beasts that he killed but Rex paid them no heed as he was entirely focused on this battle, all his focus was on killing one more beast and protecting the city.
While they fought at the defense wall, Principal Dominic and a few brave intermediate mystic warriors were out in the open fighting the army of beasts.
After a few minutes of battle, the principal started struggling against the 4 advanced mystic beasts despite the advanced-grade Lightning Rod but to his relief, help came unexpectedly in the form of a fat heavy middle-aged woman.
"Is that not the Butcher Mama?" Rex was stunned.
This heavy woman entered the main battlefield with a bang as her hammer slammed down left and right, killing beasts like a slaughter machine.
It was like she was playing a game where all she needed was to hit some random keys to keep on killing beasts, it was insanely too easy.
She didn't just fight random beasts though, once she joined the principal, she proved to be even stronger as she hammered one of the advanced grade Swamp Spiders to death after just 10 minutes of intense battle.
They were stuck in a stalemate with the other 3 as these furious beasts fought as their lives depended on it, but not for much longer though.
After over 4 hours and 30 minutes of battle where Obedin City already suffered a lot, reinforcements finally came from the nearby Anime City.
"We were delayed by an unknown enemy!"
The Wandering Moon Queen's voice reverberated far to Principal Dominic's hearing as she and her warriors invaded the battlefield to claim their place.
"Yeah!!!" Morale in the army rose again with her arrival.
Once she arrived, the momentum easily swept from the side of the beasts to the side of the defending city. Just about another 2 dozen minutes later, by the 5th hour after the battle started, the invaders lost another alpha.
Once the 2nd Swamp Spider died, the remaining 2 turned and ran for their lives. With them abandoning camp, the other beasts also ran for their lives.
After such a harrowing encounter, the invasion finally came to an end.
The soldiers did not pursue the beasts, there were a lot of other beasts still inside the city wreaking havoc and they needed to take care of these ones first.
While soldiers rushed back into the city to fight the beasts, news arrived that the beasts also spread to the neighboring towns and were wreaking havoc there.
Another set of soldiers was mobilized to the different towns, Rex and Ben were among those that were mobilized to go reinforce Bowling Town.
