The outskirts of Giant Beasts Forest, about 100 meters away from the Giant Beasts Forest, a lot of people gathered here . They have cut off the route between the supply town and the Giant Beasts Forest . They have arranged themselves into a wall made of humans .
Numerous experts who wanted to go hunt some monsters or train in the forest were shocked by the sheer number of people here .
Noticing that the Giant Beasts Forest is abnormal, some chose to kick back and observe . Meanwhile, some of them left after understanding the situation from the human wall preventing entry into the forest . The last of them chose to join the human wall .
This continued until the human wall grew to such size that anyone who came here from the supply town couldn’t see the forest .
On the other side of the human wall were groups of individuals who belonged to the same faction . They kept their distance from the other factions . Judging by their equipment and armaments, it’s clear that these people are elites organized for a specific purpose .
The most eye-catching group of them all is a group of girls . Rather, it would be more accurate to call them an army due to the size of the group . The most distinctive feature, however, is that not only do they share the same coat of arms, but they also share the same look .
They are all identical, the Misaka clones .

Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, Ikaros, Astrea, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou led them out of the forest after saving them from the demonic beast’s encirclement . They chose to stay here for some reason .
Aside from the Misaka clones who all had expressionless looks, the other groups are all either anxious or on the edge with their weapons drawn . They are looking at the Giant Beasts Forest like their mortal enemies will emerge any second now .
Even the leaders had a grim look, including Mikoto & co .
Something must have happened, something they didn’t predict when they left Silvaria World Institute .
“They’re here!”
Someone shouted by amplifying their voice . Everyone tensed up and they looked in the direction of the Giant Beasts Forest .
A dust storm stirred in the forest, masking the trees from view . Soon, they can hear a rumbling sound followed by the howls of beasts . It sounded like there’s an entire army of them .
They are all very concerned . Some of them gulped while clenching down on their weapon .

The sound of stomping and howls grew closer and closer until they finally saw the culprits behind this chaos .
Demonic beasts, as far as the eyes can see .
Roar Awooo Cacaw
The demonic beast army had no organization to them, it’s a jumbled mix of demonic beasts . They are so frightening that some of the individuals forming the human wall are considering escape .
“So they are here…”
At the front of Misaka & Co, Shokuhou Misaki looked at the demonic beast army with a grim look .
“They are all behaving out of the norm…”
The demonic beasts stayed in the forest, they wouldn’t stray out of the forest under normal circumstances . The demonic beasts had lower wisdom and intelligence than humans . They instinctively knew that if they came out of the forest the humans would hunt them down and harvest them for materials .

Furthermore, the demonic beasts preyed on each other according to the law of the jungle . Stronger beasts ate the weaker ones . Excluding the ones that lived in a colony, demonic beasts don’t live together outside of mating season .
Now, the demonic beasts are rushing out of the Giant Beasts Forest in groups, although they aren’t cooperating very well, they aren’t eating each other either . It’s like they forgot about their habitats and ecologies .
“Shokuhou Misaki, stand back . ”
Mikoto said as lightning arced around her . She faced an army of Youkai back in the world of Hayate the Combat Butler, she also faced an army of stone spiders in the last treasure hunting trip . She calmly assessed the enemies .
“Your powers are incompatible in the fight against the magic beasts…”
Her Mental Out controlled people with a high enough intelligence, against simple beasts who only knew how to attack and retreat, she wouldn’t be able to play a big role .
She didn’t argue with Mikoto, she lowered her head and she stayed back as Mikoto requested . She knew Mikoto isn’t looking down on her . Shokuhou Misaki also knew that letting Mikoto shine here is the best option .
Against the demonic beasts, she could control a portion of them but the most sophisticated command she can give them would be to attack . But, if the demonic beast army was smaller in size, she could have just controlled half of the demonic beasts and set them on the other half .
Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou also retreated behind . Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda are poised to protect Shokuhou Misaki and Takitsubou Rikou from any harm . This formation is a tried and tested formation since they came to Silvaria . Due to their cooperation and friendly relations with each other, they formed a top-level faction in Silvaria World Institute together .
3 girls headed the frontline of Misaka army, down from 7 . However, nobody doubted the 3 girls who are in front .
When Shokuhou Misaki, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou retreated into the center of the Misaka clones, Mikoto stepped forward with Astrea and Ikaros .
Biri biri
Like a lightning goddess, her lightning lit up the battlefield .
“You lot won’t be entering supply town, not on my watch!”
Her words raised the morale of every combatant here . They had gathered in a valiant effort to stop the demonic beast army, after all .
