Apocalyptic Beast Novels & Stories

They were staring at him with a religious awe. "The Alpha of the North rejected you," Rowan said, his voice growing stronger, vibrating through the floor. "The Alpha of the South tried to consume you. But they are just 'Characters' in a script that has already failed." He stood up, towering over me. He wasn't the "Runt" anymore. He was the **Beast of the Apocalypse**. "We are going to find the others," Rowan declared. "And we are going to 'Delete' the hierarchy."

But before I could move, the corrupted forest behind Kael's army began to shake. Trees toppled. The ground cracked and from the darkness emerged something that made every shadow creature we'd fought look like a child's toy. It stood as tall as the castle walls, its form constantly shifting—sometimes wolf-like, sometimes vaguely humanoid, sometimes just a mass of writhing darkness. Eyes—hundreds of them—opened across its surface, all burning with purple fire. The Beast. And it was looking directly at me. Kael's laughter echoed across the suddenly silent battlefield.

"Oh Hiram, where are you even getting this? We don't believe in that. We aren't apes and the Great City learned not to trust omens years ago." He wasn't wrong. Though news did not travel quickly in a world without fast transportation or telephones, any village that wasn't entirely isolated knew what had happened to the City of Beasts, sometimes called Great City, the largest and most advanced settlement in the known region. A purely human girl from a different time and space fell among them, and a cruel and jealous Ape King had turned the entire city on her using magic and premonitions of destruction.

However, it appeared like a snake because it was so massive. After looking at it closely, Andrius’ expression changed drastically. Embedded on the head of the Apocalypse Insect was a person—Halle. The beast wanted to devour Halle. Hiss, hiss... Once the insect appeared, it immediately attacked. Its targets were Arthur and Norvin, who were still standing. “Hmph, even a beast dares to be so presumptuous in front of me? Go to hell!” Arthur roared angrily and charged forward. However, he clearly underestimated the strength of the Apocalypse Insect.

Tyr became particularly worried when he had become a God and could sense the position of another God in the world. “I’ll go there now. You guys can catch up with me later.” After he finished, Tyr stepped on the golden dragon and turned into a stream of light as he flew in the direction of Mount Rospids. Back on Mount Rospids, Apophis had been fighting the massive Chimera that had evolved from the Ragnarok Formation for several rounds. Chimera was an ancient sacred beast, and it was known as one of the four auspicious beasts. If it happened to be an actual Chimera, perhaps it would have a chance to fight against Apophis.

Of course Christopher Henry Jameson—also known as Beast- wasn't the average man. He stood 6'5" and weighed three hundred and two pounds. He didn't like the extra three pounds. He rather liked being in the two hundred weight range even if it was by just one or two pounds. Regardless, there wasn't an ounce of fat on his perfect body. Beast was muscles on top of muscles, yet not hulking like some of the others that worked in the Marine Corps division assigned to The Department of Home Land Security, or better known as DHS. Too big made you slow. He'd seen guys bigger than him hospitalized during the CRUCIBLE training.

The beast groans, inducing terror in me, wrecking my cool. Why does he seem so curious?

Bella warns. “What’s a Kaiju?” Ember asks. “Giant monsters.” Casey responds. Ember makes an O shape with her mouth. “I’ve already dealt with one. It was in the prison of the damned.” I say. “It’s dead now.” “Well then.” Casey says. “Giant monsters shouldn’t be a problem then. You must have killed Gojira, the King of the Monsters. However, there is a three headed dragon that guards that temple. It’s called Onaga.”

A massive corrupted beast—something shaped like a lion but composed of bone, fog, and black water—lunged toward Alessia with fanged jaws wide. Alessia lifted a hand. “Down.” The beast froze midair and then slammed into the earth with enough force to crack the ground. Kael sliced its head clean off before it could rise again. Ianthe whistled. “Alessia’s not playing today.” “She never does,” Kael muttered. Seraphine clung to her satchel. “Th-this is worse than the Leviathan—” Rian choked, “Everything is worse than the Leviathan!”
