Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

The Ethereal Convergence could also hurt him with how powerful it was. However, with the activation of his Warden’s Talisman a moment ago, the damage or backlash he would receive would just be minimal thanks to the additional resilience he obtained.

The convergence of his energy formed a massive spear or maybe arrow above his head… Then, with a wave of his hand, the formed energy struck the Harbinger.

Of course, the Lord Tier Zombie didn’t think of dodging the attack. It was very confident with its regeneration abilities and Shane could understand that.

After all, he had no Survivor Skills or items that could stop regeneration at all.

Thud!

Just like that, the energy spear struck the Zombie, piercing its chest and pinning it to the ground.

’I’m not sure if it will work but let’s try…’ Shane thought as he maintained the formed energy to restrain the Zombie.

The Harbinger could only screeched in agony, as it tried to remove it with its hands…

However, Shane was calm as he activated his only ice-related Survivor Skill called Frostbite. This skill was just Level 1 since he had just ’recalled’ this skill after absorbing the last Memory Sphere and he didn’t really practice this ability.

Because of that, its effect could barely affect the tough Zombie.

However, Shane already knew that every time it would regenerate, it could only focus on one part of its body!

With this in mind, Shane used the formed spear from the Ethereal Convergence skill to pin the Zombie and focus on healing its body. Then, using his Frostbite, Shane slowly froze its flesh…

Soon, Shane was able to completely free his left leg!

’It’s working…’ Shane’s eyes lit up after seeing this. It seemed that the Zombie’s regeneration ability had limitations. Perhaps, if he cut off the Zombie’s leg, it would just regenerate another leg. However, since it wasn’t cut off and just frozen, Shane could have a chance!

Of course, he had to ensure that the Zombie wouldn’t have a chance to break its own frozen body to regenerate. He had to keep it occupied!

With this in consideration, he used his Eon’s Edge and controlled it with his telekinesis to cut off its arms!

At this point, Shane was already using about 100 to 150 Spirit Points per second!

Frostbite, Ethereal Convergence, and Telekinesis use up Spirit Points after all!

”This ends now,” Shane said as he continued to freeze the Zombie with his skill.

In less than 30 minutes, only the Zombie’s head was not frozen!

At this time, the Ethreal Convergence’s spear had already disappeared.

Roar!

It tried to summon its strength but it was to no avail, its body was not responding at all.

Soon, the Zombie’s was completely frozen…

However, Shane didn’t receive any notification about his successful kill.

’It’s still alive, huh.’ Shane thought to himself.

He wasn’t sure if he crashed this Zombie’s frozen body would kill it or it would regenerate so he hesitated for a moment…

’Ugh… There’s only one way to find out. I need to be decisive.’ Shane thought to himself.

He decided to start from its skull…

Crash!

Shane just stepped on it and the Zombie’s head was broken like a glass.

Again, Shane didn’t get any notification that he killed the Zombie. Then, he continued.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Shane broke the Zombie’s frozen body up until almost dust was left… Well, there was only one thumb-sized red crystal that was formed after the Zombie disappeared.

Then, he chamber’s oppressive atmosphere began to lift, and the toxic miasma dissipated after the Zombie died.

It was only after all of that that he managed to get the system’s notification he had been waiting for.

’That’s anticlimactic…’ Shane commented in his mind but he was still happy with the result. Even Lysandra and the others outside started to cheer after realizing that the Zombie’s miasma had already disappeared.

Shane then turned his attention to the system’s message.

[ You have eliminated a Lord-Tier Zombie. ]

[ New Title Unlocked:

Slayer of Decay: Grants a 10% increase in damage and resistance against all undead creatures. ]

[ Additional Rewards: Gold Treasure Chest, 50,000 Experience Points, and Territory Key Fragment ]

”A new title…” Shane was happy seeing this but the surprise didn’t just end there.

[ Congratulations! You are the first to defeat a Lord-Tier Zombie. ]

[ You have received an Exclusive Item:

Mistwalker’s Pendant:

Description: A mystical artifact that increases agility by 20% and provides immunity to minor status effects, including poison and fear. ]

[ You have obtained 5,000 Reputation Points. ]

[ You have obtained 10,000 Zombie Cores. ]

[ Your feat has been broadcasted to the World and Regional Chats. Prepare for recognition and glory! ]

[ Note: All Lord-Tier Zombie will have a 100% Drop-Rate. ]

Shane read the message and couldn’t help but grin.

After all, that was quite a lot. Although the new item wasn’t that good since he already had other Mythical Items or Survivor Skills with similar effects, his trusted members did not. He could pass it over like he did to other weapons he was no longer using.

As for the 100% Drop-Rate, that would surely excite everyone else but not him.

’So it’s announced, huh… Let’s see…’ Shane thought as he opened his chat.

***

Just like that, In bright, bold text, the notification appeared in every player’s chat interface across the World and Regional Chats, repeated three times for emphasis:

In the World Chat:

[ Announcement: ]

[ Survivor ”Shadow Strider” has achieved the First Kill of a Lord-Tier Zombie! ]

[ Entity Defeated: Harbinger of Decay ]

[ Exclusive Rewards Unlocked! Glory to the Slayer of Decay! ]

Shane couldn’t help but smile, seeing how the system used the alias he had arranged. However, everyone already knew that Shadow Strider was the Clan Leader of the Eclipse Revenant.

He then proceeded to check the Regional Announcement and confirmed that it was a bit different.

[ Announcement: ]

[ Survivor ”Shadow Strider” has become the first to kill a Lord-Tier Zombie! ]

[ The tides of the apocalypse shift as legends are made. Who will be next to rise? ]
