Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Capítulo 985: Hidden

Shane knew that Zombies may not care about the lives of other Zombies. After all, he had seen Giant Zombies step on other smaller Zombies, killing them in the process.

The only time that these Zombies would be organized was when a Zombie Leader or higher-tier Zombie would lead them.

From this, Shane couldn’t assume that the King-Tier Zombie had fought against another King-Tier Zombie since he believed that there wouldn’t be any sane Survivor who would be fighting it in the sea. He believed that not even Eugene would dare to do it…

“Interesting… This will get a lot easier than I thought…” Shane muttered.

Just like that, Shane watched the Zombie to ensure that it was alone or there were no other Survivors lurking around.

He observed the Zombie while it was walking with dripping blue blood from wounds that refused to heal.

The monstrous Zombie roared and shook the sand, but its strength was clearly diminished. It was as if it was trying to scare off something…

Shane’s lips curled into a smile. “Fortune favors me tonight.”

He stepped forward… This time, he removed his Zombie Mask and wore his Calamity Mask for the additional passive effect…

Soon, his presence was revealed and the Sea King Zombie turned its eyes toward him, recognizing a predator in its path.

Shane raised his weapon…

[ Moonveil Manablade ( Epic ): Forged from Manasteel by Elven Blacksmiths, this sword channels mana to enhance combat performance…

Effects:

+15% Attack Speed

+25% Sword Skill Damage

+10% Mana Efficiency when using sword‑related skills

“You killed an innocent girl. Tonight, you’ll pay for it.”

The Sea King Zombies roared at Shane and it echoed across the shoreline…

Bam!

Its tentacles slam into the sand with enough force to leave craters. It couldn’t talk but Shane could tell what it was trying to say…

Shane’s grip tightened on the Moonveil Manablade…

He then activated his aura.

[ Swordmaster’s Domain ]

The area around Shane suddenly felt a lot more oppressive as if blades of invisible pressure were present…

Within ten meters, the Sea King Zombie’s evasive movements slowed, its monstrous form locked into Shane’s battlefield. It was the effect of his Domain.

The Zombie, however, didn’t care about all it…

It swiftly charged forward with its tentacles whipping forward like spears!

Shane’s Calamity Mantle activated, distorting its vision…

The strikes missed by inches since it also gave him an incredible Evasion boost…

Furthermore, the Zombie’s accuracy was also reduced by the mantle’s passive heatwave. Shane darted forward, his Calamity Boots boosting his agility.

Shane’s first strike was clean.

Moonveil Manablade struck across a wounded tentacle with its Mana Edge, giving additional damage.

The sword’s passive bonus, stacked with his domain, could help him slice even steel very easily.

Just like that, blue flesh and blood sprayed out.

It didn’t end there as Shane’s other Talent was triggered.

[ Stormbreaker Talent – Passive Triggered ]

It was only a 10% chance, but after just a few strikes, the lightning wave was triggered!

The impact actually released a shockwave of storm energy, blasting the creature backward.

Boom!

“You’re a bit tough… But that was it… It wouldn’t have been more interesting if you were in full strength but…”

Shane didn’t stop…

He leapt high with his Calamity Greaves, boosting his jump height by 35%.

While he was in the air, his agility surged from the Winged Predator Instinct set bonus.

[ 3-Piece Bonus: Winged Predator Instinct

Effects: Gain +20% Agility, +10% Critical Rate, and +15% Attack Speed.

Grants Aerial Adaptation: Reduce the stamina cost of airborne maneuvers and fall-recovery time.

Successful attacks while mid-air temporarily increase damage dealt by 5% per strike (up to 5 stacks). ]

His strikes rained down faster, each attack while he was in the air, stacking damage.

The Sea King Zombie staggered, trying to retreat toward the waves after realizing that it could not win…

But there was no way Shane would just let him be…

“Not tonight.”

He activated his skill.

[ Domain Sever ]

It was a skill granted by his Swordmaster’s Domain Talent…

For fifteen seconds, his sword mastery surged. Every swing had an invisible extension made of aura…

To be exact, the blade’s reach had doubled!

He slashed once, twice, thrice… each strike hit its mark…

Thud… Thud… Thud…

Just like that, tentacles fell, severed cleanly as they writhed uselessly on the sand.

The monster roared again, its bloated torso had even started swelling.

Then, acid spewed from its mouth!

Shane had seen so many of these! It was definitely a corrosive spray meant to melt flesh and armor! But Shane’s Calamity Plate Armor absorbed the brunt, its passive Burning Reprisal reflecting fire damage back into the creature!

It happened so fast as flames spread across its scales, burning wounds deeper!

Shane’s aura expanded.

[ Ashen Domain ]

With it activated, within ten meters, the Sea King Zombie, who was trying to slowly heal, failed completely…

Shane raised his blade in the sky as he gathered his mana…

“Winged Descent.”

They were the two skills that came from the Set Bonus Effect!

[ 5-Piece Bonus Effect:

Active Skill:

Winged Descent: Leap high into the air and slam into the ground with explosive force, dealing wide area damage.

Passive Skill:

Ashen Domain: Enemies within 10m suffer reduced healing, –10% armor, and are more vulnerable to burn and fear effects. ]

He leapt impossibly high with the Flight Boost from his boots, stabilizing his ascent.

For a moment, Shane hovered against the moonlight as he slammed down.

The ground exploded, splitting the Sea King Zombie’s body in half! The King-tier zombie was killed just like that!

[ You have eliminated a Hammer Sea King Zombie. ]

[ You are the first to eliminate…

Shane didn’t celebrate after seeing that the King Zombie was eliminated. He didn’t even focus on the series of notifications he just received.

Instead, he turned his back and spoke coldly…

“Stop hiding…”
