News of the assault on Region F spread rapidly across the entire city, it seemed as though the whole online community was glued to live feeds of the battle unfolding at the Region F gate.Virtually almost everyone was tuning in to watch it, whether they were alerted by a friend or clicking directly on a shared link.The broadcast even made its way onto a massive screen at the Phoenix City Academy for Awakened Super Soldiers, as the dean of the academy had displayed the live stream to inspire the student body with the resolute determination that the Region F military soldiers were displaying.Which naturally caught the attention of several academy figures acquainted with Jake and Aiden, including Gideon, Chris, and members of the Magna group, who rushed to go tell him about it.Meanwhile, in an elegant office within Phoenix City's Region B, a minister overseeing the military department grew visibly irritated, as one of his guards in a dark suit had disrupted his quiet moments in the st

Lionel currently held a Gauss rifle (sniper type weapon) in hand, as he raised the weapon to take aim, unlike Zack, he faced no such attack range limitations, that’s because Zack was using his Close quarter weapon which was why he was still waiting for the shadow wolves to close the distance as the attacking range of close distance were very shortBang!He fired at his initial target, which sent a fading light-blue laser beam flying through the air toward one of the soldier rank shadow wolves in his path, the creature lunged to the side aiming to evade the bullet, however in the final instant before it even landed, its eyes widened in sudden realization:The wolf realised that it had leapt straight into the bullet's path, although Lionel had initially aimed at the beast's original position, however he had slightly curved his rifle right before firing, which caused the bullet's trajectory to shift mid-flight.It was almost as if he had been reading the future to predict exactly where th

Although the commander-rank shadow wolves were affected by the fog, however; they were far from hopeless unlike the soldier-rank shadow wolves.Given their higher realm compared to the other shadow wolves that the captains had been fighting, they could peer much deeper into the smoke.However, they still couldn't spot the captains properly inside the smoke without actually stepping inside the cloud. Even so, they felt like they could pretty much track the captains precise locations by using their scent, as their heightened sense of smell remained unsuppressed despite already being close to the smoke area.And that is how the very group of shadow wolves that had seemed so eager to attack halted right at the edge of the haze to wait, they had only requested to join the fray because they noticed the smoke particles were already beginning to thin out.They knew it was only a matter of time before the cover of the fog dissolved, which would then strip away the human captains' hiding screen

The moment Jake mentioned he would come back, Lionel knew instantly that his sole intention was to eliminate the three commander-rank shadow beasts, and the funny thing was that Lionel wasn't entirely sure on how he was to process that realization.Because he found himself reflecting on how the F Region used to operate before Jake even signed up as a merc soldier for the F base. While the F base military had performed adequately, they rarely took risks, they basically operated strictly with a defensive mindset, bound by the underlying belief that the residents of the F Region simply couldn't afford a full-scale war with demonic beasts.Shortly after Jake's enrollment at the base, was when all of the top command including him decided that it was finally time to begin clearing gates independently, as they have accumulated enough experience and manpower to execute the plan. Although Jake wasn’t the one responsible for this as Zack was the one who initiated this shift of change out of f

With Jake eliminating another Commander-rank threat, the remaining two captains were able to breathe a bit easier as they were able to focus all of their energy in engaging the shadow wolves in front of them. Mere moments after Jake sniped his target, the rest of the team successfully dispatched the remaining shadow wolves commanders they were fighting.With the battle concluded, everyone turned their attention toward the Lord-rank demonic beast instinctively, however; it was just glaring back at them with furious eyes. One detail still baffled them though, and that was the fact that despite watching all of its Commander-rank subordinates fall, the Alpha shadow wolf had remained completely motionless from beginning to end. Even while they were engaged with the Commander-rank wolves, Zack and James had always suspected that it might decide to launch a sneak attack on them, which would have been devastating. So they had been relying heavily on the fact that Lionel was a few meters a
