Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Bang!

Just like that, Luka targeted one of the Blood Knights chasing after Travis.

Thud!

Half of the Blood Knight’s body was shattered from that shot but it immediately started reconnecting its part…

Then, several more shots followed as the other snipers started hitting the Blood Knights.

Of course, Travis didn’t miss his opportunity, as he attacked with his Dragon’s Breath!

Roar~

With a roar, Travis released a breath of fire and annihilated the Blood Knights, or at the very least, they should be annihilated already. However, Travis was shocked as soon as he saw them still flying even with their heavy wounds.

Furthermore, these wounds were starting to recover, and their body parts were starting to stitch themselves back together.

”Such a strong regeneration… No wonder they’re called Blood Knights.” Travis muttered.

The Blood Knights, on the other hand, simply continued on their offense to eliminate Travis. They were completely focused as they aimed to kill Travis as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Monk Chaloem found himself surrounded by seven Blood Knights, their presence alone was actually disrupting his protective aura.

One of them slammed a fist into the ground, sending a shockwave of corrupted blood magic rippling outward.

”Tsk…” Chaloem frowned as he saw the attack.

It seemed that the enemies also realized that getting too close to him would be a death penalty, so they started attacking him from a distance.

They had probably observed how he easily defeated those Vampires just now.

Chaloem then flipped backward but as soon as he landed, he immediately used his Armored Dash to get closer to the Blood Knights.

Thankfully, they didn’t flee and decided to meet his attacks head-on.

Everything happened so quickly as he realized that two of the Blood Knights were already upon him—a blade of crystallized blood aimed for his throat.

So they were actually capable of using their blood as weapons aside from their long claws.

”Ha!”

Chaloem’s palm then met the weapon… It was a clash between Aura and dark magic of the Vampires..

Boom!

The force was so strong that it sent cracks spiderwebbing through the ground beneath them.

”Weird…” Chaloem muttered as he realized that the body composition of the Blood Knights wasn’t quite the same as other Vampires. It felt as if he was fighting against Zombies who had no concern about their bodies. These Blood Knights were so reliant on their regeneration ability that they were not too bothered to block his attacks…

This seemed to be something he could exploit to win this battle.

”You are strong… but not invincible.” Chaloem muttered as a plan formed in his mind.

With a sudden burst of speed, he vanished from his spot and reappeared behind one of the Blood Knights and struck a palm strike into its spine.

Chaloem saw that the Blood Knight was looking at him but instead of dodging or forming a defensive stance, the Blood Knight seemed to be planning to counterattack instead!

However, the Vampire had miscalculated.

Boom!

From that strike, the creature exploded into a mist of blood!

Of course, the blood, just like before, tried reconnecting to each other to reform itself. However, there was no way Chaloem would allow that to happen under his watch.

He wasn’t exactly sure how these Blood Knights could be killed but he knew that there must be a core that was allowing them to reform their bodies.

With the complete destruction of the Blood Knights’ body just now, he was able to observe everything and indeed, he was able to find a red core that he almost missed since it had a similar color to their blood.

However, as he planned to destroy that core, he was attacked by the other Blood Knights and failed to eliminate it in the end.

”Persistent,” Chaloem frowned as he backed away.

Nonetheless, he finally learned how to eliminate these Blood Knights.

”Very well.”

Chaloem then clasped his hands together and started chanting under his breath… As a monk, he certainly had other methods of fighting aside from using his Aura. This was especially through if he was fighting against Evil.

Soon, a wave of warm energy spread beneath his feet. It was an ancient technique meant to purify evil and although Silver Bullets and Blades didn’t work against the Blood Knights, Chaloem knew that using techniques with Holy Power would have a different result.

As expected, the Blood Knights hesitated as soon as Chaloem started emitting a holy aura around him. This was their first time sensing such a burning energy coming from a human.

However, with Statham’s command.

Then they attacked anyway.

***

In the meantime, with the Blood Knights now engaging the two strongest warriors, Raizen led the remaining Vampire Knights to attack the Eclipse Domain’s defenses.

Soon, over five hundred Vampires landed on the wall.

The inner wall trembled as explosive spells detonated against it. The remaining turrets were already torn apart and their mechanisms crushed under the weight of vampiric strength…

But the defenders were not done yet.

Kendra, seeing Travis being overwhelmed, hurled a telekinetic blast at one of the Blood Knights, sending it flying.

Ragnar, on the other hand, roared like a beast as he grabbed a Vampire by the skull and slammed it into the ground repeatedly.

Luka, on the other hand, informed Travis what they should do in this situation.

”Travis… The Monk confirmed that there’s a core hidden in the bodies of Blood Knights… You can use it to kill them… However, the Vampire Lord is also the key” Luka said. ”If we take him down, the Blood Knights will also fall.”

Travis nodded as he looked at Statham from afar. That was certainly a piece of important information but none of the solutions was easy.

The core wasn’t just in one place after all. Unless he uses a move that disintegrates the Blood Knight’s whole body, it would not be easy to destroy its core.

As for killing Statham, it would certainly be difficult if no one would stop the Blood Knights.

***

Then, it was at this time that another set of warriors finally arrived to help them…

No, to be exact, they were the warriors who were focused on eliminating the remaining Zombies just now…

It was the Knights of the Springriver Manor under Lady Seraph’s lead.

At this time, her silver-plated helm reflected the light as she raised her sword…

”For the Eclipse Domain!” she roared.

Soon, together with her knights, they used their armored dash and slammed into the Blood Knights.

Furthermore, the shields and swords they have were all blessed weapons! They were coated by an expensive Holy Water that was worth 50 Zombie Cores per bottle!

Just like that, their weapons seared through the bodies of the Blood Knights, causing them unbearable pain! This wasn’t something that they had done before. It was all because of the Holy Water’s effect!

Even if they could regenerate, it doesn’t change the fact that they could still feel the pain because of their nature.

Furthermore, their regeneration was slowed because of this.

Travis grinned as he landed on the ground… ”Took you long enough.”

Lady Seraph just nodded as she that Travis really bought time for her to swiftly eliminate the Zombies.

”Save your thanks for later. We have a Vampire Lord to slay.”

Chaloem also came to their side after several knights that he had trained took over the battle against the Blood Knights.

”Statham cannot be allowed to retreat. It was Shane’s instruction.”

***

Statham then looked at the three people eyeing him. This war had already turned against his favor. He already lost as soon as he was met by a strong resistance against several reinforcements that he didn’t expect.

However, he could also tell that he dealt a huge damage to the shelter… Shane would not be able to recover from this so easily. Perhaps, if he decided to target another Clan Shelter, he might be able to rebuild his army in just a few days before attacking this place again.

’Mhmm… That’s a good idea… However, I should be able to kill a few of his important companions before leaving this place.’ Statham muttered as he was definitely confident he could kill Chaloem, Lady Seraph, and several other strong Survivors in the shelter.

Once he did that, it should be fine to finally leave this place.

As he thought of this, he noticed the killing intent of three individuals aimed at him.

”Insects. You think mere numbers can challenge me?”

With a flick of his hand, Blood Energy erupted around Statham. Then a vortex of blood gathered around him before they turned into two blades made of blood.

At this time, Travis, Chaloem, and Lady Seraph finally advanced.

They knew that the threat they had to face was comparable to or even worse than a Zombie Lord.

It means that they had to take this matter seriously.

Because of that, Travis unleashed his full draconic form. His scaled body swelled with muscle, his claws elongated, and his wings grew bigger…

Of course, he was still a humanoid figure.

”I’ll take the front… Find an opportunity to attack him.” Travis said as he charged forward.

’Shane… You have to pay me extra for this.’
