Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Shinja smirked after hearing Statham's exclamation. "You're about to regret underestimating him."

He had stayed in the Springriver for quite most of his time and knew how strong Sparky was. This pet was unlike any other pet. Shane used an evolution stone to make Sparky stronger and it now possessed incredible intelligence after it stayed within Shane's Fairy Realm.

Most of the Survivor's pets were hiding during this situation because they were weak and wouldn't even a stray bullet. However, Shane's pet was on a completely different level.

With a flap of its wings, Sparky unleashed another Lightning Bolt.

This one was thicker and wilder… Everyone just saw a jagged spear of pure voltage coming out from the sky!

Boom!

Statham barely dodged with his incredible agility. The attack even scorched the ground where he stood, leaving molten cracks in the earth. It was definitely powerful and even if he could survive that attack, he doesn't want to experience it again.

Getting hit once was already enough. Even Shinja and the others felt a bit worried as they decided not to attack in melee combat.

'That strike was a lot stronger than I thought…' Shinja thought as he realized that Sparky was more dangerous than he had ever known. It seemed that this Thunderbird was actually holding back during their practice.

Sparky had accompanied Shinja in various raids and this was the first time he had seen the Thunderbird release such powerful attacks.

It seemed that Sparky had also realized that the Vampire Lord was on a completely different level than what they had faced before.

"Follow up Sparky's attacks!" Shinja shouted.

They soon decided to just use various weapons that could allow them to attack in range. Whether it was throwing daggers, firearms, or even just throwing rocks to impede Statham's movement was already quite helpful for Sparky.

Getting near was simply not an option with that wide range of Lightning Strikes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thunderbird wasn't stopping at all. It seemed to have an unlimited amount of Spirit Points…

After unleashing tens of Lightning Bolts, Sparky soon dove like a comet. Its talons were crackling with lightning energy and was about to unleash another powerful attack in closer range.

Statham swung at it with his Blood Sword, but Sparky zipped past his claws, leaving a trail of sparks that burned the Vampire Lord's flesh!

"GAAH—!" Statham cried in pain as his regeneration struggled against the electrical burns.

Furthermore, his Blood Barrier, or Miasma was unable to keep up with the defense. He was already receiving attacks from all angles!

Statham couldn't help but feel frustrated as he knew that his army, including the Zombie Horde hand only killed around 60 or so people on Shane's side.

This was far lower than he had expected. As for the damage he had done to the various structures of the shelter, he didn't care about it at all…

'Tsk…'

At this time, Statham couldn't help but consider retreating. After all, he already lost the advantage as soon as multiple top Survivors surrounded him. It seemed that he really had to use his little bit of access to the Administration if he wanted to turn Shane into one of his Vampire Knights.

At this time, however, while Sparky kept Statham distracted, Shinja already moved like a phantom.

Realizing that Sparky decided to fight in closer range, he knew that it was time for him to assist. Without hesitation, he used his Blade Dancer skill that allowed him to make unpredictable moves…

Bzzt!

Suddenly, Sparky made an electric discharge as soon as he got closer to Statham. It was a very unexpected attack that not even Statham predicted. It even seemed closer to a suicide attack by the Thunderbird by how it just exploded with electricity.

However, it was simply one of Sparky's lethal attacks.

"Perfect…" Shinja muttered as he knew that Sparky made this opportunity for him…

Just like that, without being sensed by Statham, his twin swords moved—one slash across Statham's ribs, while the other carved a deep wound into his thigh.

"Aahh!"

Silver venom seeped into the Vampire Lord's veins.

Statham roared in agony as his flesh had already started sizzling where the poison spread. "You wretched—!"

He backhanded Shinja with enough force to shatter stone, sending the Warlord skidding back—but Shinja flipped mid-air and landed in a crouch.

Although it hurt a bit, he was grinning through his bloodied teeth.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" Shinja said with a taunting voice.

Shane entrusted him to protect this place, so he knew that he had to make this Vampire Lord suffer for what he had done.

Even Shane didn't expect that the Vampire Lord would use a lure to use the Zombie Horde to deal with their defense. Because of that, the shelter suffered catastrophic damage even with all the tokens, monuments, silver weapons, and talismans that they had.

Nonetheless, Shinja couldn't help but blame himself for allowing so much damage to happen while Shane was away.

"I will kill you!" Statham suddenly shouted in anger.

Shinja simply smirked at this as Sparky swooped in again, this time clamping its talons onto Statham's shoulder.

Bzzzztt!

Electricity surged through the Vampire Lord's body, locking his muscles in a convulsive spasm.

Shinja didn't waste the opening.

Blade Storm Technique—Activated…

His swords became so fast and even Statham had trouble following it...

Shinja's stat had truly gone so up already. Furthermore, he was on the other effect of the Monument which allowed him to get a better stat.

Soon, Statham's body was shredded in seconds, his regeneration was already overwhelmed by the venom and lightning burning him from within.

For the first time after so many years, Statham felt fear.

The level of difficulty in this Zombie Apocalypse was a lot higher than he thought! He initially believed that this Apocalypse was one of the easiest and decided to mess with it and obtain a special reward aside from getting special Vampires.

However, after several months of such a terrible result, he was starting to regret his decision.

"No… It's not over yet…"

Statham reformed his body immediately and soon, he gathered a huge amount of his vitality and exploded in a burst of dark energy!

This was a risky move but this was only the method he could think of that would kill both Sparky and Shinja without them being able to react in time.

Boom!

This self-explosion surprised both Shinja and Sparky!

This had used a lot of Statham's blood but nonetheless, his body was soon reformed though it wasn't in a perfect condition. Needless to say, Statham's recovery speed was already messed up.

However, he knew that those two wouldn't be able to retreat or react in time.

"This…"

Unfortunately, Statham realized that although Sparky and Shinja were both weakened, they weren't anywhere near their death.

He then realized that Shinja was wearing a muscle-like living armor. It just came out of nowhere!

"What's that thing?!" Statham was frustrated as he had never heard of this Bio-Armor at all!

On the other hand, Statham finally realized that the various wooden pendants on Sparky's body weren't just for show… They were defensive tokens!

To be exact, they were Shane's Acacia's Mystic Protection Token. Furthermore,t his token doesn't just protect its wearer but also heals allies in a certain range.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, various shots came from afar hitting Statham in his head, chest, and stomach…

However, those bullets may be made of silver but Statham was highly resistant against it. There should be hundreds of them hitting Statham or it should be combined with Holy Weapon or Water.

"You think this is enough?!" Statham roared.

"I am a LORD of the night! I will kill you all!"

As they heard this, everyone started shaking as they seemed to be affected by Statham's Blood Spell…

Soon, they saw Statham raise his hands, and the air trembled as they felt a shockwave…

Soon, rivers of blood rose from the fallen—both zombies and survivors alike.

The red and dark liquid swirled around him, forming a massive blood armor of hardened blood.

At this time, Shinja the Warlord wiped his mouth, glancing at Sparky. "He's getting desperate. Let's finish this."

The Thunderbird screeched in agreement… Soon, its feathers started glowing brighter.

Statham laughed madly, his form was now a monstrous being made of vampiric blood magic.

"Come then! Let me show you true power!"

What happened next was incredibly fast, and not many survivors had seen it.

Sparky dive-bombed Statham while unleashing a continuous storm of lightning, forcing the Vampire Lord to divert his energy into shielding himself.

Shinja, on the other hand, approached silently with his swift movement technique…

He used the flashy move of Sparky as a cover to attack Statham with his swords and carve deep, venom-filled gashes into his blood-armored form. It doesn't look effective but with this opening Sparky's lightning strikes were able to push through the Vampire Lord's defense.

However, Statham was not an easy opponent as he retaliated with blood spears!

Numerous blood spears appeared from the ground and it wasn't just targeting Sparky and Shinja, it was an attack aimed at all living Survivors in the Shelter!
