Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

"Ho~ Interesting," Shinja muttered with a smirk. He saw this not as a threat but as an opportunity—a chance to test his strength against this unknown foe.

With a swift move, Shinja unsheathed his twin blades, their edges gleaming with a deadly concoction of his own making.

He stepped beyond the barrier's protection, entering the domain of danger willingly.

The Unknown Zombie recovered from its collision and turned its dark gaze upon Shinja.

Graagh~

It snarled, revealing rows of jagged teeth as it prepared to strike once more.

Shinja was ready, his blades poised for combat!

"Come!"

Soon, the warrior and the monster faced each other down.

With a sudden explosion of movement, they clashed—the sound of steel against hardened skin echoed through the manor grounds as Shinja fought against the very first High-Tier Zombie of this Wave!

The Zombie's limbs, shrouded in its own blackened skin that draped like a trenchcoat, moved with the very unusual grace of a true predator.

Its torso glowed a sickly green, and its long claws gleamed with a poison that was seemingly as strong as the poison that Shinja could make.

"Hmph!"

Shinja stood his ground, his twin blades didn't budge as he parried the claws of the Zombie.

The Zombie lunged forward, its claws swiping through the air, aiming to crush Shinja's head!

Shinja's reflexes were lightning-fast as he parried with one blade and struck with the other, each movement was swift and he grazed the Zombie with his attack!

He used a potent poison on his blade but it seemed that it wasn't good enough when used against a Higher-Tier Zombie!

They moved swiftly, and anyone who would try to watch them would surely miss their blurry movements.

Shinja weaved and dodged as the Zombie's attacks came faster and more furious. He was also thankful to Shane since he was given a Master-Grade Armor Set! This allowed him to fight without getting worried about being infected by Zombie Virus from scratches and wounds!

Because of his armor, Shinja's blades found their mark time and again, slicing through the dark limbs and drawing black blood.

But this was no ordinary foe; each wound Shinja inflicted seemed only to fuel the Zombie's rage.

Roar~

It roared in fury, its eyes burning with an unholy light as it redoubled its efforts to tear him apart.

Shinja realized brute force would not suffice; he needed to outsmart this abomination.

'Let's end this…'

With a feint, he drew the Zombie's attention to his left before spinning away and delivering a powerful strike to its flank.

The creature stumbled, thrown off balance by the unexpected maneuver.

Seizing the moment, Shinja leapt high into the air, his body silhouetted against the bright sky… As he descended, he brought his blades down in a devastating arc aimed at the Zombie's neck!

Thud!

The impact was massive—the twin blades cleaved through muscles and bone with a spray of vile fluid. The head of the high-tier Zombie toppled from its shoulders, landing with a thud on the ground as its body crumpled lifelessly!

[ You have eliminated a Hunter Zombie ]

Shinja landed gracefully, his breathing steady despite the exertion. He wiped his blades clean on the fallen foe's trenchcoat-skin before sheathing them once more.

The back of the manor grounds was silent but for the distant sounds of battle… After confirming that there were no more Zombies around, Shinja carried the body of the Hunter Zombie back to the estate grounds since he was sure that Shane would like to loot this powerful Zombie.

***

At the same time that this happened, Shane also received an unusual notification from his system.

Well, the successful kill of his summon was also his own achievement!

[ Shinja has eliminated a Hunter Zombie. ]

[ Congratulations! You are the first to eliminate a Hunter Zombie, a high-tier zombie! ]

[ Hint: Only the first elimination of each Mid-Tier and High-Tier zombie can provide special rewards! ]

[ You have obtained the following rewards: Spirit Breakthrough Potion x2, Experience Boost Potions x2, Zombie Cores x50 ]

Shane's eyes lit up after seeing this!

He didn't expect to see such a reward. He even obtained two more Experience Boosts Potions!

Nonetheless, what truly made him happy was the Spirit Breakthrough Potions! He finally obtained a total of five of them!

With this, his limited 2,000 Spirit Points would no longer become a problem! He was hoping that his next limit would be 5,000 or even more!

However, he doesn't have the time to open the five vials of potions right now. Well, he realized that the powerful zombies had started appearing!

Indeed… Shane's keen senses, together with his A.I. assistant, picked up a new threat—the emergence of Leader Zombies.

Chaloem's side was now facing the formidable Alpha Wolf Zombie, a zombie that he had only read about on the Regional Chat.

Meanwhile, at the front lines, three gargantuan Spitter Zombies made their presence known, their very steps causing decay and destruction.

These Spitter Zombies were a terror to behold, their massive forms oozing with corrosive acid that sizzled and smoked upon contact with the earth.

Plants wilted and died in their wake, and even lesser zombies were not spared from their deadly path. Just by walking, they were killing their fellow zombies!

Shane knew that ordinary measures would not suffice against such foes.

"They must be the leader-type of the Spitter Zombies… Isn't this creature already a high-tier Zombie? I thought they'd just rarely appear. Why did three of them appear at the same time?" Shane gritted his teeth as he felt that his Sniper Rifle wouldn't work on these types of Zombies.

With a determined look, he called upon his trusted companions—his Pets.

Emberwing the Fire Kea, Blaze the Fire Elemental, Frostbite the Frostwyrm, Sylvan the Basic Spriggan, and Sparky the Thunderbird answered his summons!

Though small in stature, each no larger than a child, they were mighty in spirit and power. As Shane issued his command to engage the Spitter Zombies, they took flight with a fierce cry that echoed across the battlefield.
