Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

“Well, let’s hope that he still has enough points to purchase it. I noticed how he chatted with Shane for help about the armor… or was it a weapon?” Reylin muttered as she recalled the Clan Chat.

Tundra nodded as he also saw it. In any case, Shane seemed to have settled that matter for him.

Even if Max didn’t want it, Tundra was also considering this skill.

After all, with his current firepower, he was probably only vulnerable against controlling or immobilizing skills. He couldn’t help but recall Lesley’s Talent from the Overlord Clan.

He heard that her Petrifying Gaze was a Legendary Talent.

Once she saw him, her Petrification would activate even without Eye Contact. That was a terrifying ability.

However, with the Chainbreaker Skill that nullifies any Immobilizing Skills, he might be able to completely ignore the Petrification.

‘I’m not sure if that would work, but that’s definitely something I should consider.’ Tundra thought.

“Hey… Don’t worry. I’ll post it in the Clan Chat.” He said before turning to the other skills.

After that, the two continued to check the other Advanced Skills.

[ Vitality Surge: Instantly recovers the user’s portion of stamina, health, and stops bleeding for 60 seconds unless the wounds have healed. ]

“Interesting skill…” Tundra muttered. This was a decent healing skill.

However, it would not work if he wanted to use it on other people. The skill was not suited for Medical Practitioners, but for those in the frontline.

In any case, they continued to check the other skills.

[ Predator’s Mark: Marks one target; the user deals increased damage and can sense them through light cover and walls for a limited time… ]

[ Silent Step: Completely erases footstep sounds and presence while moving at normal speed. Perfect for infiltrations or laying traps… ]

[ Reckless Charge: Rush forward with overwhelming force and break enemy lines. Leaves the user vulnerable afterward… ]

There was plenty of information, like the limit or the duration of the skill, but they just focused on the skills’ capabilities for now.

Reylin’s eyes lingered on Predator’s Mark.

“This is brutal… Once marked, they’d really be hunted.”

This was a good Skill against Lurker and Hunter Zombies, who were always so stealthy in combat…

Anyway, Tundra continued to browse.

[ Phantom Guard: A passive skill that conjures a spirit shield that absorbs one fatal strike… ]

The cooldown was 1 day, but it was a skill that could really save someone’s life.

[ Grim Howl: Releases a terrifying battle cry… ]

[ Stoneheart Guard: Temporarily raises the user’s natural defenses… ]

[ Spirit Grasp: Drains spirit points and stamina from the enemy upon contact… ]

The last skill was definitely not for Zombies but for Survivors.

Still, it was a good ability to have…

Tundra checked the case for Phantom Guard.

“This one and I won’t die on the first hit. It’s awesome.”

He then paused to do the math. He had 129,000 left, and the Phantom Guard was actually worth 45,000 Points.

Reylin had 122,000, and the item that she liked was the Silent Step, worth 50,000 Points.

The reason was simple: she wasn’t a frontliner. Her level was also just level 50, and she hadn’t even completed her Ascension Quest yet. She didn’t even think that she could do it.

Nonetheless, they discussed quietly what Skill they had to purchase.

“Let’s see…”

After some time, Tundra made his decision.

He purchased the Phantom Guard for 45,000, Battle Instinct for 14,000, and Enhanced Endurance for 18,000 points for a total of 77,000.

He figured those three fit his style. After purchase, his points dropped to 52,000.

Reylin, on the other hand, chose Silent Step for 50,000, Minor Elemental Affinity for 11,000, Enhanced Endurance for 18,000 points, Cooking Skill for 3,000 Points, and Perfumer Skill for 4,000…

Indeed, she also wanted to learn how to cook and to create Perfume!

That was a total of 86,000 Points, leaving her with only 36,000 points in her balance.

Thankfully, all the purchases are also on the buyout status, so there was no need to bid.

After confirming the payment, the shopkeeper wrapped physical copies in waxed paper for the ceremony. It seemed that the basement still kept a small human touch. They wouldn’t just throw it in their inventory.

The attendant smiled and nodded at the two, as if to confirm that the exchange was done, no refunds.

Just like that, Reylin and Tundra finally left the basement shop, hoping that the others would also find what they needed here.

For the remaining points in their possession, they were considering whether to visit Shane’s Secret Shop or just spend them to gather supplies.

Tundra and Reylin were both assigned to Blood Talon’s Shelter. They knew the situation of the, and even if they could get a lot of supplies from other shelters, they had to make their situation a lot better.

Of course, the two of them had already purchased a mountain of construction supplies, enough to keep the workers busy fortifying Blood Talon’s Shelter for weeks. They also had stocks of food, crates of ammunition, and medical equipment secured.

But Reylin knew that wasn’t enough.

No matter how sturdy a shelter was, or how much food they hoarded, a community was only as strong as its people. And at Blood Talon’s Shelter, they were still severely lacking in that department.

“Should we find some Recruitment Stones?” Tundra asked as his eyes swept across the different auction stalls.

Reylin immediately liked the idea.

“Yes… We need more hands. Fighters, workers, physicians… Anything would help us. If we’re serious about keeping Blood Talon’s Shelter alive, this is the best investment.”

Although the shelter was already affected by Shane’s Territory Lord talent and could recruit people every five days, that was too slow, considering how fast they were developing…

“Alright… Recruitment Stones it is!” Tundra said as he was also quite excited whenever he used that stone, which could summon people.

There was some level of excitement he couldn’t explain…
