Chapter 283: The Alpha Tyrant Awakening
[Beast Army Front – Eastern Ridge, Serenity Crater]
The war had begun.
The once silent serenity of the crater now roared with chaos. Thunder cracked, ash rained, and the scent of blood and magic clung to the air like poison.
Across the eastern ridge, Owen's beast army charged.
Verdant Hollowstag led the charge, its antlers glowing with primal green energy. Each stomp it took caused thorned vines to burst from the earth, impaling and trapping dozens of the Tyrant's twisted minions—flesh-warped beasts bred from decay and nightmare.
"Stand your ground!" Verdant bellowed in the old tongue of Beasts. "For the Beast King!"
Beside it, Seraph-Lynx streaked like a bolt of silver lightning through the air. Wings of radiant white cut through the smoke. Her claws shimmered with divine magic as she dove into the front lines, tearing through five corrupted sky-fiends in a blur.
CLASH!
Below, Stonehide Grizzlor, a mountain-like bear with rock-plated armor, intercepted a charging bone-tusker. The shock of their collision cracked the earth—but Stonehide roared louder, swiping once and sending the monster flying back with shattered ribs.
Sky-splitters, demonic bird-beasts with skeletal wings, descended on the Beast King's troops—but Ashmane Wolves, Owen's elite scout unit, leapt in midair and dragged the fliers down to the ground, tearing at them in coordinated fury.
"Hold the skies!" Ashmane's alpha barked.
