Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle-Chapter 1031: The Target

The courtyard where the Super Soldiers stood had become chaotic.

While the Warden Units were holding back Selvaris’ group, Mireya and her assassins had already joined the battlefield.

Thanks to her Phantom Shadow Talent, which cloaked them in darkness, they were able to get close without being detected.

Suddenly, they struck from behind!

Still, the Super Soldiers were no ordinary opponents.

Each of them carried protective tokens, and the assassins’ first attack was absorbed by the Iron Protection Tokens.

Thud!

Realizing what had happened, Atlas, their commander, raised his master‑grade sword.

"Form up! Shields forward!"

The soldiers moved into formation, protecting their backs by leaning against each other.

However, it was only temporary. Once they identified the assassins’ location, there was no need to hold back.

With a roar, Atlas activated Armored Dash. His body surged forward, encased in a shield of Spirit Energy.

The rest of the Super Soldiers followed with their own Armored Dash. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Haa!"

Boom!

Atlas alone plowed through three assassins, knocking them aside as his dash absorbed their strikes.

The assassins tried to counter, but sparks flew as their blades scraped against their spirit barrier. The damage was very minimal.

Orion, one of the Super Soldier leaders, leapt next, triggering Five‑Meter Jump.

His enhanced legs propelled him upward, flipping mid‑air before crashing down with a crushing strike.

Boom!

Five more Super Soldiers followed his lead, and together their combined impact cracked the ground, crushing nearby assassins and forcing the others back.

Cassius, another commander, swung his halberd in a wide arc.

"You’re all too soft! Haha!" he shouted as his weapon cleaved through two assassins at once.

Seeing this, the assassins retaliated.

"Strike the joints!" Mireya commanded, knowing the defense of the Super Soldiers would stump most of her squad.

Aside from Atlas, Orion, and Cassius, the others weren’t as strong. Their movements were slower, their combat sense less refined.

With five assassins working together, they could break through the Spirit Energy protection granted by the tokens and follow up with lethal strikes once the Armored Dash cooldown left the soldiers vulnerable.

Daggers infused with Spirit Points pierced gaps in armor. Several Super Soldiers staggered as poison seeped into their veins.

Still, their Iron Protection Tokens were triggered.

[ Iron Protection Token ]

[ A token made of ironwood shaped like a small shield, engraved with a leaf symbol.

Usage Limit: 40

Remarks: created by Shadow Strider ]

Thanks to that, the item activated its reactive shields that absorbed the strikes and pulsed outward, pushing assassins back.

Furthermore, its effect closed wounds even as blades cut deep, though the effect had its limits.

Then, another soldier activated his Acacia’s Slayer Token.

[ Acacia’s Slayer Token: A carved token from an enchanted Acacia wood, this item was filled with mystery.

Infused Skills: Shadow Hunt, Enhanced Senses, Force Breaker, Armament Expert

Remarks: made by Shadow Strider ]

Soon, his body surged with power. His movement speed doubled, his defense hardened, and his strength and agility spiked.

Just like that, he entered Slayer Mode.

Every signs of movement within ten meters was clear to him.

"Got you," he growled.

He turned suddenly and blocked an attack.

Clang!

It was Mireya herself. His blade intercepted her strike, forcing her to retreat.

Another assassin replaced her position, but the soldier’s enhanced senses caught the motion. He spun, slamming his shield into the attacker’s chest.

Bam!

Meanwhile, Selvaris watched from the ramparts. His Electricbrand Talent suppressed the Warden Units, but their barriers prevented him from overwhelming them.

After seeing Mireya’s situation, he knew he had to go all out.

Without caring for his Spirit Points, Selvaris charged his energy.

As soon as he reached a critical point, he shouted:

"Don’t falter! Their barriers won’t save them forever!"

He unleashed another surge of electricity, and this time, it was massive.

Crack!

A thunderclap descended onto the battlefield.

Bolts struck the Super Soldiers’ shields, forcing Aura Sentinels to activate again. The reactive pulses staggered assassins, but the overload drained Spirit Points from the tokens.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several Super Soldiers and even Warden Units were affected.

This was the perfect opportunity for the assassins to counter.

They gathered their energy with their blades dripping with poison.

Atlas gritted his teeth. His Protection Token had failed to block the last strike, but the damage was reduced enough for him to recover.

At that moment, a Doom Knight behind them roared.

"What?"

The sound was more like a screech, and it removed the numbness in their bodies after Selvaris’ thundershock.

Atlas and the other Super Soldiers hadn’t expected support from a Doom Knight at such a critical moment.

"Nice assist..." Atlas muttered as the lingering electricity left his body.

The battlefield grew even more chaotic. Assassins phased in and out, striking weak points, vanishing into darkness, and reappearing behind their foes.

At the same time, Super Soldiers countered with Armored Dashes, leaping strikes, and master‑grade swordplay.

***

Far behind the frontline, two figures silently observed the battle.

"They’re all doing well," Shinja the Warlord muttered as he watched the Doom Knights and Super Soldiers cooperate.

Beside him stood Brion, the Legendary Elf.

They could see dozens of Warden Units destroyed, and six Super Soldiers already killed.

Yet the two weren’t making their move just yet.

"Hey, Shinja... Are you sure about this?" Brion asked, watching Selvaris prepare another massive attack.

"Wait... until she appears. Ahh... there she is. That’s our target!" Shinja smirked as he saw the woman.

"Be careful of her Petrification Talent," Shinja added as he confirmed the presence of the Overlord Clan’s Vice Clan Leader.
