Harem Legion: Queens of the Apocalypse-Chapter 217 Giant Beasts, Red Sky, and Her Awakening

Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Giant Beasts, Red Sky, and Her Awakening

In the sky, huge black shapes shot out from the crimson pillars of light. Each one spread its wings over ten meters wide - couldn’t make out the details, but damn sure they weren’t friendly.

On the ground, inside those thirty-meter wide red beams, dark shadows the size of off-road wagons darted out like lightning, fast and wild. Then came the bigger ones - massive shadows seven, eight meters tall, five meters long - more like three-story buildings moving at full tilt. They weren’t as fast, but the way they charged, still enough to make your guts twist.

The women were all shaken, but none as stunned as Magnus. This - this nightmare unfolding - was the exact scene he had seen in his dreams. Twice.

Snapping out of it in seconds, Magnus turned quickly and looked toward Ashbrook Town.

Just as he feared. Not a single red beam was in the town itself. It was pitch-black. But in the nearby villages - each had at least one or two, even three of those towering beams of red.

"Magnus, say something! What the hell is going on?!" Liana nearly burst into tears. She had never, not once in her life, felt so helpless.

Before she could finish the sentence, her eyes caught something strange. Magnus, Emily, and Sophia all suddenly doubled over, faces twisted in pain - or maybe flushed? Hard to tell.

"What’s wrong with you three?"

Don’t tell me... another awakening?

At that moment, a rush of scorching energy surged through every corner of their bodies - tingling, pulsing, sapping all strength. None of them could move, like their limbs didn’t belong to them anymore.

But the sensation didn’t last long - ten seconds at most, then it vanished just as fast as it came. They wrested back control.

"I awakened - again!" Sophia shouted.

"You all awakened again?" Charlotte and Liana gasped. Neither of them felt a thing - no trace of an awakening for themselves.

"I..." Sophia couldn’t describe it. She just felt this overwhelming strength building up, like she could punch straight through a boulder.

"What about you, Magnus? Didn’t you already awaken?" Charlotte walked up and grabbed his arm.

"I don’t think this is the same..." Magnus stood straight, brow furrowed. It didn’t feel like the second awakening he’d experienced - not even like the first. Whatever it was, it felt... different.

But there was no time to dwell on it now. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Snapping the binoculars up again, Magnus scanned the chaos. Then he yelled, voice tight with shock, "They’re rat beasts!"

Thousands of them - countless rat monsters swarming around the still-dimming red pillars, dashing, crashing through everything.

And not just rats. A shadow loomed in the distance, massive like a walking mansion - it was a chicken. A giant freaking rooster!

"What the hell?! A chicken?!" Emily screamed.

"There - there’s a duck too!" Sophia shouted. Charlotte and Liana jerked their binoculars around wildly, sweat pouring down their faces from pure, unmistakable fear. The enormous chicken, duck, and goose monsters - each the size of multi-story buildings - had glowing red eyes and looked downright terrifying.

One giant white goose flapped its wings a few times, trying to take flight, but instead slammed straight into a rural two-story house. The upper floor burst open, crashing inward. The goose’s attempt at flying failed miserably - after tumbling to the ground, it flapped its wings, stumbled back to its feet, and waddled forward like nothing happened.

"Watch the sky!"

Magnus shouted, pointing upward at a massive black shadow approaching fast. When he finally saw what it was, his face changed. These weren’t palm-sized bugs anymore - what swarmed above were sparrow-like monsters, as big as heavy motorcycles, and bats with wingspans stretching ten meters.

"They’re coming! Back to the grain bunker, now!"

Magnus roared, grabbing the arms of two girls beside him and bolting down the mountain.

But after only a few steps, the ground suddenly lurched. A muffled rumble followed by several deafening bangs exploded around them. The group lost their footing and tumbled down the slope, hitting the ground hard. No one could get up - the earth beneath them was still quaking violently.

It was a real earthquake, one that sent tremors deep into the marrow.

Less than a minute later, the tremors started to fade, the shaking settled, but a low rumble lingered from below.

"Back to the bunker!"

Magnus was the first to spring up. He darted toward Charlotte and Liana, grabbed both by the waist and hauled them under each arm. Seeing Sophia, Grace, and Emily climb to their feet as well, he shouted back to them: "Move! Get back inside now!"

They rushed to the bunker’s door and pounded it open, piling in. Once inside, Magnus swung the door shut and slumped against it, panting hard.

From a distance, more of the female squad members came running, all shouting about the earthquake. Just ten seconds after Magnus had stepped through, Emma - boosted by her fourfold speed - was already in front of him.

"Magnus! It’s cracking! The grain bunker’s splitting apart! Do something!"

"What?!"

Magnus grabbed her by both shoulders. "What did you say? The bunker’s splitting? Say that again!"

"Yes! It’s cracking wide open! You have to come see!" she cried, nearly in tears.

"Where is it?!"

He grabbed her arm and charged forward.

"Just ahead, right ahead!"

In less than thirty meters, Magnus saw it for himself. This wasn’t just a crack - the whole mountain was tearing open. The grain bunker had been split clean down the center by a chasm five or six meters wide. A modified sleeper bus, previously parked inside, now teetered precariously across the gap. Inside, women were screaming in terror.

"Break that windshield now! Get them out of there!"

Magnus barked orders while pointing at the front of the bus.

But at that moment, from halfway up the mountain, two or three motorcycle-sized sparrow beasts swooped down. One of them smashed straight into the bus’s rear end. With a thunderous crash, the whole frame shook, and the tail end started sliding into the abyss. Screams rang out from inside.

The bus was going over.

The thought had barely formed in Magnus’s mind when, all of a sudden, a monstrous force hit him from behind, launching him face-first into the gaping crevice. His body plummeted uncontrollably into the void.
