Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 408

The python’s body was at least 15 feet thick.

It stretched well over 300 feet long.

If that massive head opened its jaws, it looked like it could swallow an entire house whole.

Those cold, predatory eyes seemed to stare through the water at the battle on the shore.

Steven’s heart jolted.

Is this level 6 Skyreach Serpent waiting for the level 5 beasts to finish fighting so it could reap the benefit?

He had been wondering where the level 6 beast was if everything lined up.

Turns out it had been hiding the whole time.

Steven frowned.

Logically, the Skyreach Serpent didn’t need to wait at all.

If it showed itself, the other beasts would scatter instantly.

Something felt off.

He narrowed his gaze and swept it across the island.

In the next moment, his eyes locked onto a narrow ravine on the island.

There was a small, clear spring there.

And at the edge of the pool grew a single plant, swaying gently.

It was entirely emerald green, a little over three feet tall.

At the top of the plant were three crimson fruits, each about the size of a fist.

Steven paused.

“A spirit fruit?

“Looks like Crimsonflame Spirit Fruit…”

In this era, after the world changed and beasts began to roam, strange things had started appearing everywhere.

Not just energy crystals like divine crystals and origin crystals, but all kinds of unusual plants as well.

Over the past 300 years, the 4 Divine Sanctums had been studying them.

So far, Draconia Divine Sanctum hadn’t released much information.

They’d only said that these things mainly worked on beasts.

Only a beast’s body was strong enough to withstand the potency of these plants.

They were collectively called spirit fruits.

Beasts that consumed them seemed to benefit in their evolution.

The one Steven was looking at matched à commonly recorded type.

Crimsonflame Spirit Fruit.

As he stared at the three red fruits, an inexplicable urge to eat them rose in him.

He frowned.

What is that feeling?

He focused his vision again, locking onto the fruits.

Damn.

He could almost see the energy inside them.

Each fist–sized fruit contained explosive power.

The liquid within looked like blood, or like flames in motion.

The energy was violent, like a bomb waiting to go off.

The longer he looked, the stronger the urge became.

His three beast–type Divine Sigils began to stir faintly.

Steven was stunned.

Can I actually consume spirit fruits?

Maybe the nature of my beast–type Divine Sigils will let me handle them.

It might even have some kind of amazing effect.

“Someone’s there…”

God Eaters.

Steven let out a cold breath. I see!

“There are also God Eaters on one of the islands. This could be a setup.”

Alan gave a quiet acknowledgment.

The ten squads spread out, each watching the others.

All of them were focused on the seven level 5 beasts fighting, all waiting to make their move.

Soon, some squads noticed Alan standing alone.

They frowned. He actually dared to come here by himself?

They couldn’t see his face, or the reaction would have been very different.

Warstar Squad and Silverion Phalanx recognized the battle armor.

Nebula Squad saw it as well.

They all understood. That monster was back.

Just then, another squad appeared.

Ten people, every one of them radiating overwhelming power.

The moment they stepped in, it felt like the center of the battlefield shifted to them.

Their faces were hidden behind battle armor, every piece was an S–rank.

At that level, there was no need to guess.

This was the top–ranked Awakened squad, Soulreaver Team.

Alex and William’s squad.

After they arrived, they didn’t spare anyone else a glance. Every one of them fixed their eyes on the massive meteorite fragment.
