Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

The dark mist continued to spread around the Mist Shelter, making it increasingly difficult for the defenders to see what was happening outside the walls.

The situation was becoming quite troublesome.

Although the turrets continued to fire toward the approaching Demons, most of their attacks were now being aimed blindly since the fog had become too thick for the soldiers to properly identify their targets.

At the very least, only those with high-level detection abilities could sense the enemy’s presence. Every now and then, an explosion could be seen in the distance, followed by the screams of Demons, but the defenders could no longer tell how much damage they were actually doing.

”Keep firing! Don’t let them get close!”

”Where are the Warlocks?!”

”We can’t see them!”

”Watch the barriers! They’re attacking from multiple directions!”

The priests were already struggling to maintain the Aegis Barrier.

The Abyssal energy coming from the dimensional scar had become much stronger than before, and the curses being released by the Demon Warlocks were continuously colliding against their defenses.

Even though the priests were using their Spiritual Energy to purify the surroundings, the dark fog was constantly replenishing the corruption.

Crack!

A small fracture suddenly appeared on the barrier.

The priests immediately panicked.

”There’s a crack!”

”Reinforce that area!”

”We’re already reinforcing it!”

Another wave of Abyssal energy struck the barrier.

BOOM!

The entire Mist Shelter shook.

Several soldiers nearly lost their balance as the protective barrier trembled above them.

”Priests! Don’t let it break!”

”We know!”

The priests gritted their teeth as they continued pouring their Spiritual Energy into the barrier. They had already been fighting for hours, and the continuous attacks from the Warlocks were starting to exhaust them.

Unfortunately, the three Demon Generals were making the situation much worse.

Varaxis had already recognized that the barrier was the most important defense of the shelter, and he was continuously attacking it from a distance.

Draveth, meanwhile, had taken it upon himself to personally destroy the defenders.

The Demon General suddenly appeared among the Super Soldiers!

”Watch out!”

A soldier barely had enough time to turn around before Draveth’s fist struck him.

BOOM!

The Super Soldier was sent flying and crashed heavily against the wall.

”Get him!”

Several soldiers immediately raised their rifles.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The anti-Vampire bullets struck Draveth’s body, tearing through his flesh and leaving glowing wounds that slowed down his regeneration.

Draveth looked at the wounds for a moment before laughing.

”Interesting weapons.”

He didn’t seem particularly concerned.

Instead, he immediately charged toward the soldiers.

”Fall back!”

The Super Soldiers retreated while continuing to fire, but Draveth was simply too fast. Before they could create enough distance, he had already reached them.

Still, a Warden Unit predicted the attack and suddenly appeared in front of him.

The mechanical soldier swung its fist and Draveth raised his arm to block.

CLANG!

The impact forced him backward several meters but another Warden Unit immediately followed with another attack. At this time, Draveth grabbed its arm before the punch could connect.

The Demon General’s strength suddenly exploded.

Boom!

CRACK!

”Tsk... These metal golems aren’t affected by corruption. No wonder it’s difficult to destroy them.” As he said this, another Warden Unit attempted to embrace him!

However, Draveth kicked it directly in the chest and sent it crashing into the ground.

”They’re quite durable,” Draveth frowned as he looked at the damaged Warden Unit.

Unfortunately, more Warden Units immediately rushed toward him.

They seemed endless, like the Demonic Creatures they could summon!

Of course, they weren’t just the problem. At the same time, the Super Soldiers began firing from behind them, while the priests supported the defenders with purification spells.

For a short moment, the defenders managed to hold Draveth back. However, the Demon General didn’t seem bothered.

He simply laughed as he fought through the Warden Units... In his opinion, the metallic golems or Warden Units were the most difficult bunch on the opponent’s side.

He just knew that he had to focus on them!

As expected, the defenders also realized that something was wrong.

Draveth wasn’t trying to destroy the shelter by himself. He was keeping Warden Units occupied!

”Varaxis!” Draveth shouted.

The soldiers turned their attention toward the other side of the battlefield.

Varaxis had raised his hand. Then, Several dark spears were floating around him.

”Stop him!”

The turrets immediately rotated toward the Demon General.

They could already guess what kind of power Varaxis was about to release!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The projectiles flew through the mist. However, Draveth suddenly appeared in front of Varaxis.

He swung his arm and destroyed the incoming projectiles before they could reach their target.

”Don’t disturb him,” Draveth said with a grin.

Varaxis didn’t even acknowledge him. His attention remained on the barrier as they had to destroy it soon!

The dark spears surrounding him suddenly moved.

Whoosh!

The projectiles finally struck the Aegis Barrier.

BOOM!

Another crack appeared.

The priests’ expressions became even more serious.

”We can’t hold it!”

”Keep going!”

”We’re already at our limit!”

The priests continued chanting, but the situation was rapidly becoming worse.

At the same time, the defenders suddenly heard a scream from somewhere inside the mist.

”AAAAHH!”

Everyone turned toward the sound.

”What happened?”

”Someone was attacked!”

”Where?!”

Nobody knew. The mist was still making it difficult for them to understand the situation.

The answer came from Maltheris. His voice seemed to come from everywhere at once.

”You are protecting the wrong places.”

The soldiers immediately looked around. The Demon General had disappeared into the fog!

The defenders could not see him, but soon, a shadow suddenly moved behind one of the soldiers.

”Behind you!”

The soldier turned around, but it was already too late.

A dark hand emerged from the mist and grabbed him!

”AAAAHH!”

The soldier was dragged into the darkness.

”Fire!”

The Super Soldiers immediately fired toward the area, but Maltheris had already disappeared. His ability to manipulate the fog was creating complete chaos among the defenders.

The three Demon Generals were working perfectly together!

Varaxis was attacking the barrier... Then, Draveth was keeping the strongest fighters busy while Maltheris was using the fog to isolate and confuse the defenders!

The defenders of the Mist Shelter were slowly losing control of the battlefield.

”Commander Shinja!”

One of the soldiers rushed toward the command center.

”The barrier won’t hold much longer!”

Shinja looked toward the battlefield. He was still confident of winning this battle... However, at this rate, there might be more sacrifices than they had anticipated...

Unfortunately, there was no good answer...

The shelter’s defenses had been designed to handle enormous armies, but they had never expected to face three powerful Demon Generals who could coordinate their attacks so effectively.

”Fall back to the inner walls!” Shinja finally ordered. ”Protect the priests and the shelter core!”

The defenders immediately began retreating. But of course, the Demons noticed the movement.

The Demon Knights began advancing more aggressively.

”Don’t let them retreat!”

”Push forward!”

The Warlocks also increased their attacks and just like that, dark curses continued to fall from the sky, forcing the priests to focus on protecting the retreating soldiers.

The defenders were being pushed backward.

Then suddenly—

Roooaaarr!

A deafening roar echoed across the battlefield... Everyone looked up.

Whisper, the Smog Dragon, descended from the sky.

The young dragon had been fighting the Demon army outside the shelter, but he had finally returned and swiftly saw the situation inside the defensive line... and it was becoming dangerous.

His golden eyes immediately focused on the three Demon Generals. Of course, it was noticed by the three and Draveth looked up and grinned.

”There you are.”

The Demon General’s expression immediately changed.

He had been waiting for this moment...

”Don’t attack him yet.” Varaxis immediately said.

Draveth looked at him. ”Why not?”

”Let him use his Dragon Breath...”

Varaxis pointed toward the dragon.

”That is what he has been doing to clear the battlefield. If we force him to use it again, his Mana will be greatly reduced.”

Draveth’s grin widened as he realized the plan...

”I see.”

The dragon was powerful, but it was still young. It couldn’t continue releasing powerful Dragon Breaths without consequences.

If they could force Whisperer to use his strongest attack first, they could then take advantage of the moment when the dragon was recovering. After all, it was still young and needed some time to recover after every elemental breath.

Draveth immediately stepped forward.

”Come here, little dragon.”

Whisperer let out an angry roar and as expected, the dragon opened its mouth.

A tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy began gathering inside.

The defenders immediately recognized what was happening.

”Everyone, move away!”

”Whisperer is using his Dragon Breath!”

The dragon finally released the attack.

BOOOOOOM!

Spirit-infused flames swept across the battlefield.

’Flames?!’

The dark fog was instantly consumed.

The Demon Knights caught in the flames were burned alive, while the Warlocks desperately attempted to escape.

The flames continued spreading until the entire area around the Mist Shelter was illuminated!
