Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Shane had seen many incredible Epic Talents. Even Raze only had Epic-Grade Dragon Knight Talent, and it was awesome.

There were also those Shapeshifting Talent, Cultivation Talent, Elemental Control Talent, Great Healer Talent, and even his Skill Infuser Talent.

They were all just Epic Talents, but their value was immense.

As for this new talent he had just obtained... He felt that it was not the best Epic Talent he could get, but it was definitely something great.

[ Swordmaster’s Domain (Epic Talent): The Survivor establishes a battlefield aura of sword mastery, enhancing control and dominance whenever a blade is drawn.

Passive Bonus: While wielding a sword, the Strength stat is increased by 5% and Agility by 10%. Sword techniques consume 20% less stamina.

Secondary Passive: Enemies within 10 meters suffer reduced evasion against sword attacks (‑15%).

Active Skill - ”Domain Sever”: For 15 seconds, the Survivor enters a heightened state of sword mastery. All sword strikes gain +40% damage and extend a cutting aura that reaches 2 meters beyond the blade, allowing attacks to hit multiple enemies. (Cooldown: 12 minutes) ]

’Now this... this is a real combat Talent. Offensive power with sustain. Perfect for frontline fights.’ Shane mused.

’Strength and Agility boosts... stamina reduction... that’s exactly the kind of efficiency I need in prolonged fights. Fighting would be easier with this talent.’

He then turned to the active skill he’d get with the new Talent.

’Domain Sever... fifteen seconds of heightened mastery, extended reach, and boosted damage. A cutting aura two meters beyond the blade... This is awesome but the fact that it doesn’t consume any Spirit Points was already good enough...’

Although the cooldown of 12 minutes was actually high, the fact that it doesn’t consume Spirit Points upon activation was already good enough. It just means that he must activate the skill, only when necessary.

”It’s a practical talent... I’ll take it.” Shane muttered.

He then glanced at the second crystal still in his hand.

’One down, one to go. If the next one is even half as good, I’ll be stacked.’

[ Activating Epic Talent Crystal... ]

The second crystal shattered into light, flooding his body with energy.

[ New Talent Acquired: Stormbreaker (Epic Talent) ]

[ Stormbreaker (Epic Talent): The Survivor harnesses the fury of the storm in battle. Your physical attacks have a 10% chance to release a shockwave of lightning.

Active Skill - ”Tempest Crash”: Summons a burst of storm energy around the Survivor, dealing moderate lightning damage to everyone within 15 meters for 30 Spirit Points. (Cooldown: 3 minutes) ]

Shane’s eyes lit up as he saw the new skill he had just obtained.

’Stormbreaker... now this is flashy. Lightning infused into my strikes. Not sword‑specific like Swordmaster’s Domain, but raw elemental power tied to physical attacks. I like it.’

He clenched his fist as if he was ready to unleash some lightning strikes. Unfortunately, the chances were low. A ten percent chance wasn’t really that big. Still, it would be a huge surprise for the enemies if they were hit by the shockwave of lightning.

’Swordmaster’s Domain makes me sharper with blades, but Stormbreaker adds something else entirely. Well... Together, they balance each other. One for control, one for chaos I guess.’

Shane couldn’t stop grinning as he really liked this.

His gaze lingered on the active skill.

’Tempest Crash... a burst of storm energy aroud me, fifteen meters wide. That’s huge. But wait... it says ”everyone.” Allies and enemies alike. Damn. That means if I use this recklessly, I’ll fry my own people along with the enemy. It’s powerful, but dangerous. I’ll need to be careful.’

Shane exhaled slowly as he must remember this before ever using the active skills.

’Still, I have to test it. Better to know exactly how it works before I rely on it in battle. Anyway, it’s only 30 Spirit Points per use.’

Shane finally left his room, and soon, he was invited by Alex to have breakfast.

”Thanks... I’ll have it later.” Shane said as he turned toward Asad, who was busy tinkering with his undead summons.

”Hey, Asad. I need a test. Summon two skeletons for me... Let’s do it in the training space.”

Asad raised a brow but complied without a question. Then, he swiftly used his skill, and dark energy started gathering around the air.

Just like that, two skeletal warriors emerged, their hollow eyes glowed faintly as they clattered into existence.

Shane took a deep breath as Stormbreaker’s energy hummed inside him.

’Alright... let’s see what Tempest Crash can really do’.

He then activated the skill.

A surge of storm energy erupted from his body, and lightning spread outward in a violent sphere!

Whom~

The skeletons convulsed as arcs of electricity tore through them, and their bones started rattling under the shock.

Thud...

The ground itself sizzled as it was scorched by the sudden burst!

”Whoa... That’s an awesome skill, Shane.” Asad said while clapping... He was impressed by what he had just seen.

”Y-yeah... That’s really cool for 30 Spirit Points.”

Shane muttered.

However, there was something else on his mind.

’Yes... it hit them both. No discrimination. Allies, enemies, anything in range. This is a double-edged blade. If I use it in the middle of my squad, I’ll hurt them too.’

He actually tried to control the surge of lightning, but there was simply no way for him to do that. Even if the skeletons weren’t emitting hostility or malice, they were still hit.

The skeletons just collapsed into charred fragments.

”It’s strong... but dangerous. I’ll have to time it perfectly. Still, Tempest Crash is a decent AoE Spell or something.”

Shane was still happy with this result.

’Swordmaster’s Domain for control. Stormbreaker for destruction. Nice Epic Talents...’

He then turned to his status and looked at his current set of Talents.
