Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

With such a powerful Zombie as his opponent, any weapons below Exceptional Grade wouldn't do anything to this Zombie at all.

The three of them knew this very well and that was why Item Upgrade Crystals were always in demand in the marketplace…

However, even if that were the case, it would still be tough to penetrate their armor. Thankfully, he had such a talent to leap and could exploit the gaps in their armor once he got closer.

Layla, on the other hand, used the items that Leo crafted for him in the Springriver Manor.

[ Starry Night Knives ( Epic ): Crafted from the elusive Starlight Silver, these seven ethereal-looking throwing knives can cut through metal even with the slightest force. When wielded in battle, these blades bestow upon the user a sense of otherworldly accuracy and the potential for devastating critical hits.

Effects:

+50 Physical Attack, +100% Accuracy, +150% Critical Hit, +100 Armor Penetration

Special Effects:

Burn Effect: Upon impact, the blades unleash a scorching burn effect, engulfing the target in mystical flames that inflict additional damage over time.

Bleed: Any wound made by the knives could not be healed with low and mid-class healing items. Bleeding will also increase by 200%. ]

Using her telekinesis, she used her seven flying knives to strike at the zombies with incredible force. The impact had a burn effect and engulfed the three with fire as soon as they got hit!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Oh! So strong!" Travis was excited to see the skills of his teammates. Although Alex could barely hurt the Zombies, he seemed to have decent agility. On the other hand, Layla may not have a decent physique and movement technique, but she could compensate with her powerful weapons as someone with high-level Telekinetic Powers.

'She can actually control seven knives at the same time… She can even throw them at such a fast speed. She's definitely useful.' Travis commented in his mind as he had already considered asking her to join his Clan after this event was over.

He just had to show how powerful he was to ensure that Layla would be the one to desire to join his Clan before even giving her an offer.

Seeing that the Zombies weren't in good condition, Travis dashed forward to quickly finish them… After all, burning them would still take quite some time.

Soon, his fists glowed with the power of his Dragon's Blood. He delivered a powerful blow with each of their heads, and each strike was infused with the essence of the Dragon's Blood, which was being triggered from his body.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The zombies, having their heads crushed, fell one by one.

In a matter of moments, the arena was silent once more. The three Light Armored Zombies were defeated.

"Good work, team," Travis said, a rare smile crossing his face. "Let's keep this momentum going."

As he said this, the message from the system appeared.

[ Congratulations Team 5!

You have successfully cleared the first stage of the Boss Raid by eliminating the 3 Light Armored Zombies! Your teamwork and skill have set a remarkable example, and you are the fifth team to achieve this!

Each member of Team 5 will receive 10 Items Upgrade Crystals and 1 Spirit Breakthrough Bottle as a reward for your victory! ]

[ Your reward has been transferred to your Inventory ]

[ You have received 200 Experience Points. ]

[ You have received a set of SWAT Uniforms. ]

[ You can now open the Boss Raid Leaderboard. ]

"10 Item Upgrade Crystals!" Alex was immediately delighted as soon as he saw the rewards. These crystals were just too elusive for him, who had terrible luck. A hundred Zombies may not even drop a single Item Upgrade Crystal for him!

Most of his high-level items were bought in the Survivor Store or Marketplace instead of doing an upgrade himself.

He was simply too pitiful.

On the other hand, Layla and Travis weren't too concerned with this as they were more delighted to see the Spirit Breakthrough Bottles!

Then, Travis noticed something…

"Wait… We're not the first? We killed them in less than 30 seconds!" Travis finally noticed this and he couldn't help but feel surprised.

The two others also knew that they were quite quick at killing those three Zombies.

In the end, the three of them quickly checked the Leaderboard.

[ First-Stage Boss Raid Leaderboard. ]

As they were checking the rankings, the Leaderboard suddenly refreshed, and three more teams were added.

Rank 6: Team 2 – Leader: Lesley Cotton

Rank 7: Team 7 – Leader: Violet Faire

Rank 8: Team 192 – Leader: Marlene Dane

As soon as Travis saw these three new names that had appeared, he immediately frowned as he recognized them. They were from another Region before the merge and had been trying to recruit him to their Clans!

At this time, Travis didn't notice how Layla, who seemed aloof a few moments ago, was smiling a lot after seeing the names in the first and fourth ranking!

They were all the core members of the Eclipse Revenant to which she belonged!

Travis shook his head to clear his mind, as it wasn't the time to think about other things.

He looked at the options given by the system, and seeing that they were ready, he opted for the third option.

"We will not rest and continue the challenge!" Travis said as they were soon transported to the second stage.

They soon entered a mysterious swamp and received a message from the system.
