Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Chapter 461 Zombie Challenge Event ( 4 )

In the meantime, the other Top Rankers of the Survivor Leaderboard were also doing their best to clear more levels.

They all wanted to reach the milestone that the system announced before.

They were Levels 30, 60, and 100. According to the system, reaching them would give them additional exclusive rewards. This was aside from the special reward for clearing every 10th level.

One of the Top Rankers was Travis. He was the formidable Clan Leader of the Drakeheart Vanguard.

At this time, he was not far off from the center of the arena…

He was currently using his Spirit Stones to recover his Spirit Points…

Of course, he was protected by his Avatars while doing so…

As the countdown was completed, he opened his crimson eyes that were gleaming with the intensity of his draconic lineage.

Soon, he received the message from the system about his opponents this time and glanced at the five enemies…

'Chief Spitters?' Travis thought as he gently nodded. This wouldn't be too difficult with his current strength. However, he would have to be prepared to lose some precious items because of their corrosive abilities.

Anyway, Travis' broad frame was adorned with a Legendary Rank Scaleplate Armor. His weapon of choice was the Infernal Dragon's Fang, which he obtained after hiring a Blacksmith with Legendary Talent.

Graahhh~

The five Chief Spitter Zombies roared with their bloated bodies emanating a toxic aura.

'Tsk…' Travis clicked his tongue as he saw their acidic drool sizzle as it hit the ground… Aside from the toxic gas, their bulging, pulsating sacs of corrosive fluid also looked ready to burst with any sudden movement.

Perhaps any items below Epic or Legendary would be destroyed by these corrosive acids. Furthermore, even with his Epic and Legendary items, he wouldn't be too careless in this battle.

'This has to end quickly before their acid could cover us.' He thought.

Well, he was still fully confident that he wouldn't be defeated by such Zombies.

"This will be fun."

Travis then glanced at the group of people behind him…

Well, aside from his Legendary Talent called Dragon's Blood, he was able to obtain another Legendary Talent called Blood Avatar Talent.

Apparently, the people in the Regional Chat, who were guessing that he had clones monitoring the chat all the time, were right!

Travis was always active and updated on all information since he truly designated one of his Avatars or Clones to read and chat all day!

Needless to say, all these Avatars were transported with him in the Challenge Zone since they were part of him.

There were a total of twelve identical clones of Travis, and each of them was fully equipped with Epic-Grade Armor and Weapons.

Despite being mere avatars, they exuded the same confidence and power as their creator. After all, this wasn't an Exceptional Grade Cloning Talent or Master Grade Copying Talent… It was a legendary talent, and they weren't being controlled; they had their own minds that linked with him.

"Form up!" Travis commanded. The avatars moved in perfect unison, creating a semi-circle formation around the Chief Spitters.

Soon, the undead monsters roared and spewed torrents of acid at the advancing force!

Two Chief Spitters immediately launched coordinated acid barrages. The attacks were quick as their projectiles flew like acidic missiles toward the group.

"Barrier…" Travis softly…

He didn't really have to raise his voice since they were all linked to him…

Soon, six of his Blood Avatars raised their Molten Barrier Shields, a defensive Epic item that generated fiery domes to neutralize the acid spits. They actually came from Fire Zombies.

Fire Zombies were High-Tier Zombies and actually killed more than 30 people within his Drakeheart Vanguard Clan over the past month…

However, because they were able to claim the area, the territory of the Fire Zombies became their hunting grounds, and various unique loots that could only be obtained from these Zombies were monopolized by his Clan.

These Molten Barrier Shields were one of them.

Similar to Shane's tactics of distributing resources, Travis had also distributed three or even five of these Shields to every member of his Clan. This included his Avatars.

Anyway, these shields' existence were to ensure that they would have a decent rank once the Zombie Challenge Event ended.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The shields hissed and smoked as the acid struck them, creating an acrid cloud, but the defenses held firm.

They weren't corroded or broken just yet. Travis assumed that it would last for ten or even more volleys of attack.

Of course, Travis wouldn't just watch his shields get their durability eaten up by the acid…

While six of Avatars held the defensive line, Travis dashed forward, and his Infernal Dragon's Fang ignited with hot energy.

With a powerful swing, he unleashed the weapon's Scorching Crescent Slash, a blade of fire that ripped through the air, striking one Chief Spitter directly.

The attack didn't just wound the creature—it exploded on impact, setting the monster ablaze and leaving it howling in agony.

'Good… They're not that though…'

"Push harder…" Travis commanded as he started to gather his Blood Energy… To be exact, his Draconic Powers.

At this time, the remaining three Chief Spitters retaliated… Their acidic spits were becoming more erratic and widespread.

Perhaps, they couldn't choose which opponent they should focus on, and so, they just started shooting everywhere to get everyone affected…

That was a good thing for the real Travis since the attacks coming at him could be easily defended or blocked because of that.

There was no concentration on their attacks!

Then, he noticed that one Spitter shifted its position before it started spraying an arc of acid toward the left flank, where three avatars were advancing.

One Blood Avatar sidestepped, leaping high into the air and hurling an Explosive Dragon Javelin into the Spitter's swollen head.

Boom!

The resulting explosion splattered corrosive fluids everywhere, but two avatars raised their shields just in time to protect themselves.

Thud! Thud!

Another Spitter lunged forward with surprising speed, its massive bulk slammed into two avatars and sending them sprawling.

'They can move that fast?' Travis frowned as he then sprinted toward the creature… Since he was able to gather enough energy, his scales started glinting as the assimilation started…

With a giant leap, he landed on the Spitter's back, plunging his Infernal Dragon's Fang deep into its spine. The weapon's Inferno Burst ability activated, sending waves of fire coursing through the Spitter's body.

The zombie shrieked and collapsed, its corpse smoldering. Because he had already burned it inside, he wasn't worried about it exploding at all.

Now, only two Chief Spitters remained. Probably enraged by the deaths of their allies, they launched a stronger acid storm, saturating the arena in corrosive projectiles.

However, their resistance was futile… This battle was already about to be over…

The remaining Blood Avatars formed a protective circle around Travis. Their shields were raised high as acid rained down.

Of course, despite their efforts, it couldn't be helped that three Epic Grade equipment were melted because of their attacks. After all, the corrosive power of the Chief Spitters was just that strong.

Nonetheless, because these Spitters and Chief Spitters had already disappeared, Travis believed they would no longer appear on the next levels and he would no longer have to worry about his equipment or weapons being melted.

Anyway, as soon as the Acid Rain was stopped, Travis didn't waste this opportunity.

The Chief Spitter would need at least three or five seconds to attack again, and he had to end this quickly.

"Enough games!" Travis roared, his draconic features becoming more pronounced. His eyes glowed brighter, and his voice became deep with a dragon-like tone.

Furthermore, the roar he just made was a Skill that stunned the Chief Spitters.

Needless to say, Travis had just activated Dragon's Wrath. It was one of his Survivor Skills. It was a power that amplified his strength and imbued his strikes with draconic energy.

"Die!"

His movements became fast as he attacked the next Chief Spitter.

With a roar, he cleaved through its bloated torso in a single strike. The energy from his blade detonated upon contact, engulfing the Spitter in a massive explosion of flames.

The final Chief Spitter then tried to use this opportunity to kill Travis…

However, Travis simply raised his hand, summoning his other Legendary Weapon, Dragonfire Lance…

He used it as a massive, blazing projectile before the Chief Spitter could even throw another blob of acid at him!

Whoosh~

Travis's Dragon's Wrath was still active, so he was able to throw it fast without much effort!

Thud!

After being hit, the creature erupted into flames, and soon, its charred body collapsed to the ground.

As the last Chief Spitter died… There weren't any celebratory messages, but the system message confirmed his victory.

[ Level 20 cleared. Preparing Level 21 ]

"That should put me firmly ahead of the others," He muttered…

"Shane won't stay at the top for long."

Travis then waited for the next level and looked at his Avatars…

"I already worked a lot this round. This time, there shouldn't be any Acid Spitters or whatever… You guys will be working hard from now on." Travis said to his Avatars.

Apparently, the only reason the Avatars were on the defensive side was because of their weapons, accessories, and pieces of equipment that could be melted by the Chief Spitters.
