Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Glow Up and Blow Up
Fiona hovered above the ground.

Her hoverpack flared with a steady glow as Fionyx’s energy coursed through the system.

She adjusted her headset, eyes scanning the chaos below.

“Fionyx,” she said, one hand lifted, fingers forming a quick snap.

“Give me a [Plasma Mic Blaster].”

Fionyx’s glow pulsed bright, forming a compact weapon that fit perfectly in her hand.

She spun it once, the barrel lighting up with neon lines.

She smirked, her orange ponytail flicking behind her.

“Looks like some soldiers finally decided to show up.”

Below her, Aurelius’ soldiers in armored robes formed ranks, their weapons trained on her position.

From behind the front lines, containment gates creaked open.

A mutated beast burst free, its body a mess of spikes and thick muscle plates, dripping with chemical fluids.

It roared, head snapping side to side, as it charged.

“Fionyx, mark that one!” she called out.

Fionyx’s visor glowed, locking onto the beast.

A targeting reticle spread across her screen.

—

@SparkJump: She’s going after a monster?!

@NightByte: That’s a vault-grade mutant!

@EdgeCrusher: She’s gonna die on camera!

—

Fiona’s plasma mic blaster hummed as she aimed down at the beast.

She leaned forward, one knee bent, weight balanced.

“Chat, time to party.”

She fired.

The blaster shot a burst of white-hot plasma, cutting a line across the beast’s armored hide.

The beast roared, its claws slamming into the ground.

Cracks spread in all directions.

The soldiers fired back, bolts of energy racing past her.

She tilted left, hoverpack twisting her body, her hair whipping around.

“Fionyx, bring me the [Dancer-Form Blades],” she said.

Fionyx shimmered, light spiraling down her arms, forming twin plasma blades that extended from her wrists.

She lunged forward, descending like a comet.

The mutated beast swung a massive claw, but Fiona ducked under it, blades slashing across its side.

“Chat, did you see that?!” she shouted, twisting away.

—

@ChaosRider: That’s insane!

@FireFang: She just danced around that claw!

@LazerStorm: She’s not human!

—

Another beast burst from a gate, covered in armored bone plates and trailing dark mist.

It lunged at her with a roar, fangs snapping.

Fiona’s feet hit the ground.

She flipped backward, her hoverpack catching her just above the dirt.

“Fionyx, time for the [Rhythm-Reactive Cannon]!”

The cannon formed in front of her, a long barrel pulsing to the beat of her battle music.

She pulled the trigger.

A shockwave of sound and plasma erupted, slamming into the beast.

It staggered, head snapping back.

“Let’s keep it going, chat!” she yelled.

The soldiers regrouped, forming a tight formation.

Their weapons glowed.

She turned, eyes scanning.

“More soldiers, huh?”

She raised her plasma mic blaster, voice steady.

“This party’s just getting started.”

She fired again, the plasma bolt smashing into the front line.

A soldier fell, armor smoking.

Another beast lunged from the side, covered in chitinous plates with spines glowing bright.

It leapt with a [Shockburst Tackle], its claws sparking.

Fiona twisted sideways, the hoverpack propelling her into a spin.

She aimed down, firing a second [Plasma Mic Blaster] shot, the beam slicing through the beast’s leg.

It fell with a crash, its roar echoing through the vault.

—

@CodeRunner: She’s unstoppable!

@NightCry: I’m sweating just watching this.

@FireBlade: That’s what you get messing with Luxoria.

—

She flipped in the air, Fionyx forming a [Stage-Defense Shield] around her.

The energy dome deflected incoming shots from the soldiers.

She landed lightly, her hair falling over one eye.

“Chat, let’s give them a show they’ll never forget.”

She lunged forward, both plasma blades flashing.

Her feet glided across the broken ground, each step landing perfectly between the chaos.

One soldier swung a blade, but she deflected it, spinning low and slashing his side.

He dropped.

Another mutant beast roared from the back, metal claws crackling with [Electro-Fury Charge].

“Fionyx, let’s finish this,” she called out.

Fionyx’s glow brightened, forming a [Divine Performance Armament].

Twin plasma wings flared behind her.

She charged, wings slicing through the air, plasma blades carving through the mutated beast.

—

@SkyEdge: She’s a goddess of battle.

@BloodBite: I’m never missing a raid stream again!

@VoidShift: That was the best fight I’ve ever seen.

—

Fiona turned, her hoverpack lifting her high.

The smoke and sparks settled below.

“Thanks for the show, chat,” she said, her grin wide.

“Luxoria fans, let’s go to the next level.”

The screen lit up with cheers and emojis as she soared away, ready for the next challenge.

—

Theron’s lips tightened as he watched the screen in the command center.

The massive, mutated beast, a Sovereign Tier beast, lay broken and smoking.

Fiona hovered above it, her plasma blades still glowing,

Her grin was clear even in the flickering lights of the screen.

Theron’s fists clenched.

“That’s one girl,” he said, his deep gunmetal eyes unblinking.

“And she’s not even one of their main fighters.”

The operator hesitated, eyes darting back to the screen.

Theron leaned forward, his breath steady.

He lifted one finger and pointed at the feed. “Send the elite soldiers.”

He turned, his heavy mantle of beast-scale armor shifting with him.

“Have them fuse directly with the mutated beasts,” he continued.

His scars twisted as his muscles flexed. “No holding back.”

Another operator keyed in the commands, and the lights on the console were flaring bright.

Theron stepped forward, each step measured.

His eyes stayed locked on the screen.

“This is war,” he said.

“No time to wait. No room for mistakes.”

The containment gates shuddered open.

Elite soldiers, each wearing reinforced combat suits, lined up.

They moved in formation, boots hitting the ground with a steady rhythm.

One by one, the mutated beasts behind the gates stepped forward.

Their bodies twisted with muscle plates and spiked bone armor.

Steam hissed from their vents as chemical fluid dripped onto the metal.

The soldiers moved closer to the beasts, their arms outstretched.

Plates of armor shifted, merging with the beasts’ bodies.

Energy crackled as fusion circuits lit up.

The soldiers’ bodies expanded, arms thickening with jagged plating.

Their faces merged with beast maws and mechanical eyes.

Theron’s arms crossed over his chest.

His breath filled his lungs, deep and cold.

“Show them the meaning of Aurelius,” he said.

The soldiers roared, their voices and the beasts’ voices merging into one.

They charged, claws scraping across the ground, weapons glowing.

The command center shook with the impact.

Theron watched, his eyes sharp.

“This is our answer,” he said, his tone final.

The battle had only just begun.
