Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

The Lich raised its skeletal hands, dark energy crackling around them.

With an incantation, it released a powerful blast of dark energy, striking the Tyrant Zombie and further weakening it.

The Armored Tyrant Zombie, now severely damaged and slowed, struggled to maintain its footing. Asad only had one remaining Zombie Warrior and one Skeleton Knight at this moment, but they pressed the attack.

Since the Armored Tyrant Zombie was brought down, everyone worked together to ensure that it would never get up!

After some time, Asad, Elias, and Mira had finally won against the Armored Zombie Tyrant.

As soon as they received their rewards, they realized that they only received 9 Item Upgrade Crystals and 1 Spirit Breakthrough Bottle since they took more than 8 minutes to defeat the Tyrant.

Nonetheless, once their ranking on the leaderboard was confirmed, there could still be an additional reward. They just have to wait for everyone to finish their first stage event.

"I leveled up!" Elias said after he received the fixed 500 Experience Points and an Instant Experience Potion reward for the 2nd Stage.

Mira also increased his level while Asad remained the same.

"Let's rest for another 10 minutes… We'll clear this Boss Raid slowly but surely." Asad said as he took out his low-grade Spirit Stones to recover his Spirit Points.

***

This time, however, Shane and his team seemed to be in a predicament.

Sitting atop the gruesome pile of Armored Juggernaut Zombie was a shadowy figure, exuding an unsettling aura.

The man chuckled as his voice echoed through the rocky arena.

"Kukuku… I've been waiting for you."

Shane and his team exchanged confused glances as they looked at the message from the system.

[ Attention, Survivors!

You have 15 seconds to prepare for the Fifth Stage of the Boss Raid Event!

Third Stage Enemy: 10 Armored Juggernaut Zombie.

Description: The Armored Juggernaut Zombie is a towering monstrosity, clad in heavy body armor that makes it impervious to most conventional attacks. Its body is an amalgamation of flesh and metal, showcasing the horrors of its transformation. It stands over 8 feet tall and its body is covered in thick, reinforced armor plating.

Sentience: Mid-Level

Objectives:

Time Limit: You have 15 minutes to defeat the Armored Tyrant Zombie.

Consequence: Failure to eliminate the Zombie within the time limit will result in no rewards and a penalty for all participants. ]

"The heck?! We're not fighting 10 Armored Juggernaut though… Can't the system tell that?" Diana was shocked as she stepped back. She suddenly felt the overwhelming aura of the mysterious person in front of them. This was definitely not a normal situation.

"I don't feel good about this." Sandra said as she looked at Shane nervously.

Of course, Shane was also confused.

The enemies for the fifth Stage were supposed to be the Armored Juggernaut Zombies, but it seemed someone had already defeated them and taken their place.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Something was definitely wrong.

The man, noticing their shock and confusion, spoke again. "Alright… I don't have much time… I need your life!"

With a sudden, swift motion, he dove at Shane, his speed and ferocity caught them off guard.

Shane found himself unable to move, paralyzed by an overwhelming sense of dread for a brief moment. He should have Fear Resistance at this moment though!

Cloud, his A.I. Assistant, quickly analyzed the situation and confirmed his worst fears.

[ Shane, the enemy is most likely a Vampire. Be cautious! ]

'The Ender?!'

Despite the paralyzing fear, Shane's Adrenaline Surged kicked in, allowing him to resist the Vampire's fear effect.

Rooaaarrr!

With a Titan's Roar to stop the Vampire's advance, he swiftly summoned his Tactical Sentinel Combat Exosuit I. The Exosuit materialized around him, its Ion Drive Engine roaring to life!

The Vampire's eyes widened in surprise as Shane, now clad in the Exosuit, regained his mobility.

"Ohhhhh… You have that thing, even if you're this early! It's a good thing I visited this place first. You'll be a huge problem if you continue growing." The man said.

However, Shane couldn't care less what it was saying.

The exosuit's HUD displayed vital information, and Shane felt the surge of power coursing through him.

"Stay back!" Shane commanded Diana and Sandra, his voice amplified by the exosuit's systems. He charged forward, the exosuit's servomotors propelling him with incredible speed.

Whoosh~

This time, Vampire tried to use its magic but after Shane entered the suit, it could no longer affect Shane with his spells.

'Tsk… I'm still too weak… Forcefully entering this place took too much toll on my body than I thought.' The man grumbled as he looked at Shane on his Exosuit, charging at him. In normal cases, he would disdain this type of machine and could easily strike it down with his spells.

However, the situation was quite different now. He had to use his Blood Energy if he wanted to take down this Level 30 Survivor… To be honest, he was also shocked to see this person's level. If he decided to enter another Apocalypse, perhaps it would have been too late to consume this man!

The Vampire then bared his fangs as he prepared to counterattack.

However, Shane didn't want a head-on confrontation…

With a powerful leap, he closed the distance and went to the Vampire's side, and rammed the exosuit's reinforced fist into the Vampire's face!

Boom!

The impact was tremendous, sending the Vampire sprawling across the arena. However, it was too weak! Experience tales at empire

The Vampire quickly recovered, and his eyes burned with rage.

He launched himself at Shane again, but the Exosuit's advanced sensors and agility allowed Shane to dodge and counter…

However, the Vampire immediately got used to the Exosuits movement…

Despite the fact that the Ion Drive Engine was working to its limit, Shane soon felt the strong counter of the Vampire! His opponent actually had a physique as strong as the machine he equipped!

Bang! Bang!

Each strike from the Exosuit landed with devastating force, the Ion Drive Engine amplifying Shane's strength.

However, the Vampire seemed to be using a strange spell that made its body extremely strong!

'Not good...' Shane felt worried seeing how the Vampire was able to put a dent in his Exosuit barehanded!

'You're forcing me!' Shane decided not to hide in his Exosuit anymore and overwhelm his opponent with a fighting style that would test his wealth!
