Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

The opponents this time were King-class threats. They wouldn’t fall easily so he had to assist his Undead Creatures.

He raised his staff again, channeling the last of his Spirit Points.

[ Spirit Points: 325 ]

”Well... This should be enough...” Asad muttered as he activated his Soulbrand Curse...

[ Soulbrand Curse Lv6: Targets up to 3 enemies. Reduces regeneration and defense by 40%. ]

Soon, his necromancy ability activated. There were hands made of shadows appearing beneath the feet of the Acid King, Earth King, and Brute King.

It was only for a moment, and soon, the hands also vanished after completing the curse.

The Acid King’s bloated form began to rupture prematurely, its healing slowed down...

The Earth King’s stone armor cracked more easily under pressure, and the Brute King’s muscle density faltered! Its swings had started losing momentum.

Asad didn’t stop there. He still had Spirit Points left...

[ Grave Pulse Lv5: Emits a dark energy shockwave. Deals damage and stuns enemy targets and boosts allied undead speed by 20%. ]

He slammed his staff into the ground.

A ripple of black energy surged outward. Lesser zombies caught in the wave collapsed instantly, their bodies disintegrating into ash.

The Abyssal Knights and Dullahan units felt stronger as they surged forward with incredible speed, overwhelming the Acid King’s defenses.

One Dullahan Knight leapt onto the creature’s back and drove its halberd deep into the spine...

Ssakkk~

The Acid King screeched, as loads of acidic bile erupted from its mouth... but the Wraith Queen descended from above and her claws swiftly sliced through its throat.

[ You have eliminated an Acid King Zombie. ]

Asad turned toward the Earth King.

It was still swinging, trying to crush the Skeleton Kings beneath its fists.

’That’s enough...’ Asad thought as he triggered another Skill.

[ Bone Prison Lv7: Creates a reinforced cage of bone around a target. Duration: 12 seconds. ]

Soon, steel-like bones erupted from the ground, encasing the Earth King in a dome of bones... It roared, slamming its fists against the walls, but the Mummy Lords began their chant or ritual.

In just a few moments, they applied a curse on the Zombie King, slowing its movements!

It was so effective, especially against the Earth King, whose movements were already slow.

Then, the Skeleton Kings charged in, their warhorses leapt over the bone walls. One drove its fireblade into the creature’s chest, while the other summoned a barrage of skeletal spears from the sky.

They were Skeleton Kings for a reason!

After a few moments, the Earth King collapsed with its bark-like armor crumbling.

[ You have eliminated an Earth King Zombie. ]

Only the Brute King remained.

”Aaaarggh~”

It suddenly charged forward and broken through the Dullahan formation, charging straight toward Asad...

But Asad was ready with his remaining Spirit Points.

[ Deathgrip Chain Lv8: Summons spectral chains to bind and drain vitality. Duration: 8 seconds ]

Chains of black light appeared from the ground, wrapping around the Brute King’s limbs. It roared and started thrashing violently, but the chains held.

Asad stepped forward and used his last points.

[ Soul Rend Lv6: Channels necrotic energy into a single devastating strike. ]

He pointed his staff, and a beam of concentrated death magic surged forward, striking the Brute King in the chest.

Thud...

Just like that, the creature convulsed as the energy tore through its core. But it was still alive!

The Dullahan Knights then moved in for the final blow.

Five halberds struck in perfect unison, severing its spine and splitting its torso!

”Finally...” Asad muttered as he saw the Brute King collapse.

[ You have eliminated a Brute King Zombie. ]

Asad lowered his staff and looked at his remaining Spirit Points.

[ Spirit Points: 2 ]

Seeing this, Asad wryly smiled as he pulled out a potion...

After a series of battles, he was only left with four Spirit Recovery Potions. Nonetheless, he wasn’t unhappy about it.

The amount of Experience Points he obtained allowed him to level up a couple of times already...

After all, it was normal to only level up once within 2 weeks after constant zombie hunting after reaching level 50...

At this level, the amount of Experience Points one needs would reach more than 50,000 already. That means that if he were to only hunt Walker, Runner, or Crawler Zombies, which gives 5 Points, he would need to eliminate 10,000.

There was no way he’d find that in one location... Furthermore, the Double Experience Potions he was using now had a limited time.

’If there’s Quadruple Experience Potions, it would’ve leveled up 4 times already.’ Asad muttered with a chuckle as he looted the Zombie Kings, hoping to get Talent Expansion Scrolls.

Well, he had recently obtained a Random Talent Token... This would allow him to get a Talent from Uncommon to Legendary Grade randomly. Unfortunately, he needed an open slot before he could use it.

As he looted the Zombie Kings, however, his eyes lit up as he obtained something better!

He swiftly checked his inventory and took out the three items that caught his attention.

[ Necklace of the Brute King: Allows summoning of a Spectral Brute King once every 72 hours. Requires 100 Spirit Points and 5 Zombie Cores. Spectral version retains 80% of original strength and berserker traits. ]

[ Note: This item can not be upgraded. ]

”This is pretty good... The Spirit Points are also cheaper than summoning a Skeleton King, worth 400 Points.” Asad muttered.

After that, he checked the next one.

[ Necklace of the Earth King: Allows summoning of a Spectral Earth King once every 48 hours. Requires 100 Spirit Points and 5 Zombie Cores. Spectral version retains 70% of original strength and shockwave abilities. ]

[ Note: This item can not be upgraded. ]

It had a lower cooldown but weaker strength. Still, it was a great addition to the creatures he could summon for a cheap amount of Spirit Points.

As for the last item, it was even better despite having a long cooldown.

[ Necklace of the Acid King: Allows summoning of a Spectral Acid King once every 96 hours. Requires 150 Spirit Points and 10 Zombie Cores. Spectral version retains 100% of the original strength and corrosive power. ]

[ Note: This item can not be upgraded. ]
