Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Chapter 659: Against the Kings
“Seriously… he sent you? Isn’t it more important to have you on the front line? If I’m not mistaken, you can probably handle dozens of High-Tier Zombies on your own.” Anna asked after seeing the heavily armored man.

The man nodded… However, he also stepped forward to kneel beside her.

“You are too important to lose. My presence ensures no threat will reach you. I am to eliminate all hostiles and extract you if necessary.”

Before she could respond, a familiar voice crackled through the comms on the soldier’s shoulder.

“Anna? It’s Shane. I know you didn’t ask for backup, but I know how much you’re shouldering… I’m also sending you something else—should be arriving with Super Soldier.”

The black-armored man then reached into a case attached to his hip and retrieved a small vial…

Inside swirled a glowing golden-red liquid…

Anna couldn’t help but smile as she recognized this. It was actually a creation of hers. However, she could also tell that Shane did something about it.

“This is…”

“Dragon’s Blessing Elixir…” Shane’s voice continued.

“With the Elves and the World Tree’s help, your creation has been improved a lot. However, I only have 12 of them right now. They’re designed to restore stamina, boost your immune system, enhance your physical resilience—and most importantly, keep your mind sharp. I had the lab make it for you.”

Of course, there were other effects, but that wasn’t important right now.

Anna took the vial without hesitation…

“Shane… How about you? Did you drink one of these already?” She asked.

“Yes…Don’t worry about me. You’re doing more than most of us on the battlefield. I need you to keep going. Take it when you feel like you’re about to collapse or even right now…”

“Fine… You’re making me work overtime anyway…” Anna replied with a chuckle.

Soon, she held the vial up to the light. It was quite a beautiful sight and she couldn’t help but appreciate it.

The Super Soldier then stepped back and kept his distance by about three meters from her. That should be a safe distance to ensure Anna’s safety.

Anna then looked around her. She was surrounded by groaning patients, bloodstained floors, and the sound of life-support machines.

After a few moments, she decided not to consume it just yet.

She could still hold on and decided to save it for later…

“Let’s finish this. No one dies today—not on my watch.”

In the meantime, after Shane ended his conversation with Anna, the Tyrant King finally arrived.

This TyrantKing was standing over four meters tall…

Its face—if one could call it that—was a mess of melted muscle and a fanged mouth.

There wasn’t even an eye on it!

As it got closer, its roar could surely shake the barrier of the shelter.

Still, with the Monument of Eclipse together with the Heart of Eclipse that was recently built, no one felt afraid…

Instead of shaking with fear, they answered instead…

After a series of bombardments…

Shane dropped from the sky like a meteor himself…

He didn’t want to damage the wall, so he decided to fight it outside the Shelter.

Boom!

At this time, his Bio-Armor had already been activated, and it had protected his body…

As expected of the creation of the finest scientists of the past civilization, this Bio-Armor was truly a marvel of technology. It created reinforced fibers and nano-alloy plating and it all slid over his body like a second skin…

Just like this, his senses were connected to the Bio-Armor and soon, he felt as if he could see in all directions… It felt as if his skin started having eyes.

“This feels really great…” Shane smiled as the Bio Armor gave him a great sensation that normal humans should not feel.

As he landed, the earth cracked beneath his boots.

Soon, he stood unfazed in front of the Tyrant King.

From his back, Shane unsheathed the massive Meteor Greatsword.

[ Meteor Greatsword ( Master ): A large sword forged from a fallen meteorite

Special Effect: “Ruin Mark”: Landing three consecutive hits on a target triggers an explosion, dealing 30% of their max health as bonus damage.

Passive: Increases the user’s strength by 10% while equipped. ]

Then, his Mars Shield appeared…

[ Mars Shield ( Master ): A circular shield inscribed with mystical marks.

Special Effect: “True Guard”: Blocking an attack has a 25% chance to unleash damage reflect and counterattack, burning all enemies in a 4-meter cone.

Passive: Grants +20% fire resistance. ]

***

Unlike the Zombie Lords, the King Zombies were always hasty and did not converse with the Survivors…

Soon, the Tyrant King charged forward with its claws, aiming to grab Shane.

“Too slow…” Shane muttered as he used his Armored Dash…

With his Bio-Armor enhancing his speed, the Armored Dash became even more dangerous…

Boom!

The two collided like they were made of steel…

Of course, Shane raised the Mars Shield and caught the first strike. However, the Tyrant King continued to attack with its hands…

Its clawed hands slammed into him like a siege hammer—but True Guard of the Mars Shield activated.

Thanks to that, a cone of fire burst from the shield, smashing over the Tyrant King’s chest.

Shane then followed up with Vortex Spin, spinning with the Meteor Greatsword in hand and landing two clean strikes into the creature’s side.

SLASH. SLASH.

Then the third blow landed—Ruin Mark triggered.

Just like the effect said, a pulse of energy detonated from the sword, erupting across the Tyrant King’s chest in a sphere of fire!

Bam!

The Tyrant King then staggered, but it still slammed Shane with a backhand…

However, there wasn’t much force behind it.

Shane easily tucked and rolled, then leaped five meters high with a Five-Meter Jump and landed without sustaining any form of injury…

“Come on, big guy.”

Shane then activated Titan’s Roar.

His voice thundered through the battlefield!

It wasn’t just a shout to help him fight against the Tyrant King… It was also a command to everyone on the battlefield to win against the Zombies they were dealing with!

“Bring it on!”
