With the help of their Elemental bodies, these Shadows were able to resist the power of the sunlight and allowing them to flexibly wield the power of Elementals as well.

Although it was not to the point of complete safeguard from the sun, at the maximum, they could stay open at the sunlight for as long as an hour; after that, they have to find a dark shade to recover their disintegrating cover before going out again.

AAAAAAH!!~

KHIAAAAHK~

Fire! Open fire! 

BOOOOOM!~

Rataatatatatatat!~

As expected, the military, including the navy and the special forces were able to react quickly as well. The various cities, especially in the most progressive countries like China, j.a.pan, Korea, and so on, we're able to deploy their army in less than ten minutes.

The quick response of the military and various resistance was thanks to the previous warning pa.s.sed down from the higher-ups during the Alliance meeting at the Bantayan Island headquarters.

At the moment, the whole world is a mess. Police, soldiers, tanks, fighter jets, and helicopters are in a constant battle against the Elementals.

"Keep shooting, aim for the eyes, and the joints of those golems!"

"Remember! The moment they collapse, throw those special flash grenades to finish them off!"

BAAAM!~

"For those fire monsters, don't bother wasting your bullets, let the firemen deal with them"

"Captain! More flying monsters have appeared at the plaza!"

Ratatatatataat!

KABOOM!~

"Sh*t! That's where those f.u.c.king activists was rallying a while ago!"

"They deserve it. They laughed at the government's warning. Focus on saving those civilians!"

"Still, we must save them, Captain!"

"Do not follow them to the building! Its suicide!"

KABOOM!~

"Five o'clock! Five o'clock! Incoming rock monsters!"

"Copy that!"

"Roger!"

Ratatatatataat!

KABOOM!~

"Careful of that ro-agghk!~"

"Look at those white b.a.l.l.s! Are those aliens?"

Ziiip!~Flas.h.!.+

"Don't shoot! Those are the secret weapons of the state. It is here to deal with these creatures and they are on our side. Work together with them."

KABOOM!~

The Guardians are now openly working together with the human's defense force. After all, clearing their memories about the Guardians well be done later on.

Thanks to the Elemental's information and the Guardian's help, the humans received a new technology and were able to create a new type of flash grenade that is effective against the hybrids.

However, a condition must be met before its use and that is, the elemental body the Shadow is currently occupying must be shattered to pieces first in order to expose the dark creature inside.

Unfortunately, with the Shadow's fast reaction and speed, the rate of successfully finis.h.i.+ng off a hybrid is only down to five percent. Perfect timing and execution of the advance Flashbang blast must be met, else it would be just a wasted effort which also means more wasted life on the human's end.

Back at the Alliance headquarters, multiple screens are playing live relay of the situation of various cities. The second Elder Guardian maintained a calm expression as he watched everything unfold.

"The humans are barely fighting back. The casualties have continued to spike and the dimensional portal doesn't seem to stop dropping more hybrids. According to the fugitive Elementals, there's is an estimated five hundred million Shadows waiting on the other end. At this rate, we will run out of resources by the end of the week." mumbled the second Elder Guardian.

"Reporting to the Second Elder, we have detected a new portal just outside the defensive barrier of the island. The exact location is located six hundred meters deep on the ocean." one of the monitoring staff reported snappily. 

"Water elemental hybrids..." 

"Exactly Elder. Should we engage them?"

"Reserve our energy. Let the barrier hold them for now. I have concluded that there is more coming, until then, we will start to fight back with wide range Flash Cannons to deal them in one go.."

Barely ten seconds after the Elder's reply, another monitoring staff entered their communication channel and reported,

"Reporting to the Second Elder, five more portals have been opened on the north, south, southeast and southwest direction. Two of them are located underwater while three more are hoverings above spouting winged hybrids and ma.s.sive golems. It is confirmed that they are aiming for our position."

The second Elder sighed.

" It was really fortunate that the Head Elder was able to predict this exact pattern before disappearing..." the Second Elder said with a helpless gaze. Indeed, before the Head Elder was devoured by the Dimensional Beast, the rest of the Guardian Elders were able to receive extremely detailed instructions on the incoming events.

Though it was only able to cover the events that were about to happen one month prior, it was still a big help for their preparations and realize their priorities. It was also stated on the Head Elder's description of the high probability of the enemy attacking before two months. 

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do but prepare as much as they can in those days.

The second Elder's eyes moved at the screen that shows a digitized bird's eyes view of the island. There, he could see the multiplying red dots that are steadily increasing from six different sources. 

They were the hybrid ELemetals sent to attack the Alliance headquarters s and an estimate of one million powerful hybrids is already a generous count. Not to mention, the portals seem to never stop sending over new hybrids.

Then another monitoring staff reported, "Reporting to the Second Elder, the hybrids are currently trying to break the barrier. The energy core's reserve is quickly depleting. At their current speed, we have more or less thirty minutes before the barrier starts to give in.

"Initiate the Flash Cannons and prepare to fight."

***

Approximately, thirty minutes later...

Outside the energy barrier of the Alliance Headquarters, various kinds of hybrid Elementals are currently smas.h.i.+ng the energy wall before them. Rock Golems, ma.s.sive sea serpents, winged beasts, weird-looking sharks, and more, are relentlessly hammering the s.h.i.+eld that protected the Headquarters. 

The sheer impact of their attack was enough to create powerful earthquakes and gigantic waves that towered over the island and drown it from time to time.

BAAAAM!~

BAAAM!~

KHIAAAAAHK!~

KHIIIAAAAHK!~

BAAAM!~

KHIAAAAAHK!~

"I heard the most delicious meats this realm can offer are behind these barriers."

"That' what those Lord's said..."

"Kuekuekuek~ I am excited. I intentionally ate less at the water elemental realm cause I know that the real party is in the human realm."

"What human realm? This is our realm now! The only thing I hate about this world is that itchy sun above."

"You are right. Kuekuekuek!"

"Now, hit harder! This barrier should collapse soon! I heard the last remaining Dragons are also hidden inside. They are the most delicious meat of all!"

"I want Dragon meat! And Guardian meats! All meats!"

BAAAM!~

BAAAAM!~

Craacck~

~

Suddenly, the barrier that was blocking them suddenly started to wane as cracks finally appeared on the energy barrier.

"Kuek!? KuekuekuekKHIAAAAA!"

Elated cries of the hybrid Shadows echoed across the ocean. Soon enough, the barrier that was holding them off has finally shattered and the exciting creatures from the Dark realm rushed in towards the island just a few kilometers away.

"Attack!"

KHIAAA!~

"Dragon meat! Guardian meat! Human meat! All meat!"

"I want to switch to a Dragon's body!"

KHIAA!~

***

The second Elder watched the bird's eye view of the current event in the Headquarters. The entire island is currently isolated and no outside activities can be seen at all. Everyone seems to be waiting inside the ma.s.sive headquarters, just waiting for the command to let loose.

"Second Elder, they are approaching the Flash Cannon's range in ten seconds." reported one of the staff.

"Standby. How much can we cover on this attack?"

"Twenty percent if we fire in the next fifteen seconds."

"Delay firing for another seven seconds."

"As you command."

"Then prepare the next charge. Ready to fire on my command."

***

The excited crowd of the hybrid Elementals is just two hundred meters away from the sh.o.r.e when suddenly, hundreds of metallic pillars sprouted from the seabed in the middle of the rus.h.i.+ng Elementals.

Most of them were too occupied trying to reach the sh.o.r.e and only a few of them where able to notice the sudden emergence of these metallic pillars.

BZZZT!~BZZZT~

"Kuek!?" one, weird-looking shark hybrid Shadow noticed the sparks that came out of the metallic pillars. A chill crawled upon the hybrid's spine as it hurriedly moved its body to move away when.

BZZZT~BZZZT!~ BZZZZKRRRRAAAAKAAAABOOOOOM!~

The metallic pillars suddenly discharged lightning bolts that shook the entire sea surrounding the island. The hybrids that were near those metallic pillars instantly shocked and incapacitated as the terrifying power of five-hundred thousand mA of electricity combined with the seawater. 

Most of them instantly died. However, more water elementals has higher vitality and resistance. The first defense was only able to kill an estimate of one hundred fifty thousand hybrids.

And to escape the electrocution, the hybrids decided to rush to the sh.o.r.e and avoid the metallic pillars as much as possible.

"Meat! Minee!"

Two minutes later, the island's sh.o.r.e was full of Hybrids, their mouth was starting to drool at the thought of the victims waiting inside the headquarters. Their speed allowed them to reach the island's center in no time, dying the whole island with countless hybrid Elementals rus.h.i.+ng to the middle.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the center of the island, covering the entire view of the Hybrids.

FFFFFAAAAAAa.s.ss.h.!.+~BOOOOOM!~

It was the Flash Cannon that wiped out every single Elemental that had just arrived.
