Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

"Mhmm… I think Shane will like all these items… I bet he can give me more Item Upgrade Crystals with these…" Raze muttered as she knew that she didn't need these scrolls.

After all, with Roan by her side, her current Strength and Agility Points were already higher than those who were on the same level as her.

It was because she was connected to her dragon and gained bonus points. As for the Scroll of Insight, it was only slightly useful since her Skills were leveling up quite quickly already. It was all thanks to her strong connection with Roan.

Anyway, she checked the potions as well.

[ Frostfall Potion: This vial contains a cool, icy blue liquid that numbs the tongue when sipped. Ingesting the Frostfall Elixir grants resistance to cold temperatures and reduces frost-based damage.

Effects: Provides temporary protection against freezing conditions and lowers the impact of icy attacks. ]

[ Mistcloak Potion: A misty blue potion that creates an illusion of shifting fog. Consuming the Mistcloak Elixir grants temporary invisibility in misty or foggy environments.

Effects: Cloaks the user in a veil of mist, rendering them partially invisible to enemies and facilitating stealthy maneuvers in obscured conditions ]

"Mhmm… So those Potions being sold in the chat were probably found in these Treasure Chests." Raze muttered as she recalled some incredible potions being sold in the chat…

She thought that those potions were actually made by some crafting expert, but now that she thinks about it, she realizes they might've been looted in these chests as well.

At this time, she also considered what items she'd ask Shane in exchange for these things. She knew very well that Shane had a lot of people working under him.

It means that he needed a lot of resources…

'Right… He has that Flamethrower… Roan needed to be burned by an intense flame… Maybe we can borrow that as well. He has plenty of fuel anyway…' Raze thought.

Anyway, after completing her loot, she had the urge to check the current Chats. After all, it has been a few hours since she checked the chat.

"Mhmm?"

Raze scrolled through the Regional Chat, where survivors shared their tales of survival and she couldn't help but raise her brows after seeing one of the long chats.

Among the messages, one stood out starkly—a lament from Kendra…

[ Kendra: Hey everyone, so the other day, we ran into this massive Giant Zombie. It was like nothing we'd ever faced before. My Ice Phoenix, my loyal partner from the start, stood by me as we prepared to fight. The battle was intense. My Phoenix unleashed its icy flames, trying to fend off the Giant Zombie. But the zombie was too strong.

It landed a fatal blow, and my Phoenix... it couldn't survive. ]

[ Kendra: I just watched helplessly as my companion faded away... It was not a nice feeling. The loss is tough, but it's a reminder of how dangerous this world can be. So, please, take care of your partners if you have one. They will not respawn once they die. They're more than just creatures; they're our friends in this crazy world.

]

"This…"

This chat resonated deeply with Raze since she also had a mystical creature partner. After reading this chat, she couldn't help but look at Roan, who was innocently looking at her.

Indeed, she really had to take care of Roan as she didn't want to be a Dragon Knight without a dragon by her side.

If she was not mistaken, Kendra was a Phoenix Knight… However, now that her Phoenix was gone, Raze couldn't help but wonder what would happen to her.

Raze sighed at this as she read the chats that followed.

[ Brylle : Kendra, I'm so sorry… Your loss is felt by all of us. I'm a Wolf Packmaster so I know how it feels. ]

[ Hazel : Let's honor the fallen. We risk it all every day, and it's never easy to lose a partner. Stay strong.

[ Stephanie: You took on a Giant Zombie with a phoenix? That's gutsy. Maybe too gutsy? You should've run in the first place. ]

[ Anabelle: @Stephanie, show some respect. Kendra, you're brave. Your Phoenix's sacrifice won't be forgotten.

[ Rogene Mar : As a fellow Phoenix Rider, my heart goes out to you, Kendra. We soar high, and sometimes we fall hard. But we rise again… Who knows, maybe you can find a Phoenix Egg… ]

[ Justine: That's zero chance. There was no way she could find Phoenix Egg. Even if someone from the chat has one, they would not sell it. I bet she doesn't even have the money to buy even a Common Pet Egg. This is a reminder for all of us. Our companions are mighty, but they're not invincible.

We must always be vigilant. ]

[ Shiela Rose: Guys, do you know the real identity of Shadow Strider? ]

[ Josephine: Read the mood, Shiela… My deepest sympathies, Kendra. ]

[ Shiela Rose : Ok. We're all fighting to survive. Kendra, your Phoenix died a hero. Stay strong… Now, can someone tell me if you have an idea about Shadow Strider? The rank one in the leaderboard? ]

[ Regine : Is there any way to bring back a fallen creature? Are any alchemists or necromancers out there with answers? ]

[ Galatea : @Regine, once a creature passes, it's part of the natural cycle. No spell can restore the bond they had. ]

[ Kelly : Your warning is heard, Kendra. As for the Shadow Strider… He's the Top 1. He probably knows something. Just ask him. Maybe he can revive a Phoenix. ]

[ Terrence: Might as well ask him if he can revive your mother… This is a harsh world. The beauty of our bonds makes their loss even more painful. Don't keep your hopes up… ]

[ Storm : I've been where you are, Kendra. Lost my drake not long ago. It leaves an emptiness. If you need to talk, I'm here. ]

[ Travis: Tonight, we raise our weapons in memory of Kendra's Phoenix. May its spirit soar eternally in our hearts. Kendra, our Drakeheart Vanguard Clan will still accept you even if you lost your Phoenix. Send me a PM if you are interested. ]
