Global End, I Awaken the Unique Rank Speedrun Dungeon

"Damn it, is that scourge truly tireless?!"

"The continuous attacks haven't depleted their energy or stamina; on the contrary, we've suffered heavy casualties!"

Major General Xia Ren slammed his fist heavily against the city wall.

Looking out at the simmering battlefield in the distance, watching the soldiers fall one by one before my eyes.

I only regret that I am powerless to change this tragic situation.

He turned to look expectantly at the slender man: "Haven't broken through to level two yet...?"

Chu Qianzhou: "No, even after breaking through to the next realm at the Awakening level, I no longer need to absorb source crystals. I still feel like something is missing."

Xia Ren clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes blazing with fury.

"The soldiers are risking their lives for your chance to break through. If there's no further progress, even tens of thousands of lives will eventually be exhausted!"

A hint of impatience and mockery flashed deep in Chu Qianzhou's eyes.

"I want to break through, but it's just not possible. I can't just go out and die, can I?"

"Aren't you supposed to be the only one in the sequence? You really can't handle that scourge?!"

Xia Ren almost lost his temper when he heard the second half of Chu Qianzhou's sentence.

to death?

The soldiers are paving the way for you with their lives, and you say it's suicide.

Chu Qianzhou sneered: "So what if it's a Unique Level? Does that mean it's invincible? Who knew that the ancient corpse in the museum would turn into a scourge, and with such powerful abilities? I'm sure it's also a Unique Level."

"My ability requires killing evil spirits to become stronger, but the problem is that I can't even get out the door right now, I'm blocked at the door by that evil spirit."

"If I die, I will really have no room for resistance at all."

"Only if I break through to the second level of combat power will I have a chance to fight that scourge."

Actually, there's something Chu Qianzhou didn't mention.

When he first faced that ancient corpse monster, he discovered that it had broken through to the second level.

He guessed that its ability was to become stronger by devouring living beings, which was somewhat similar to his sequence ability.

The problem is that the evil spirit is constantly devouring the soldiers' flesh and blood, while he can only rely on his abilities to extract some of the soldiers' life energy.

Even if Chu Qianzhou breaks through from the Awakening level to the Control level, he may still be unable to fight against the Ancient Corpse Calamity.

But he didn't say it, nor did he dare to.

Xia Ren was unwilling: "But if this continues, how am I supposed to explain this to the soldiers and their families?"

He looked at Chu Qianzhou hopefully: "Qianzhou, I'm begging you, please don't make them make any more pointless sacrifices, okay?"

"No!"

Chu Qianzhou flatly refused: "We still have the resources to fight back. I have a feeling that as long as I extract enough life energy, I will be able to break through to the next realm."

"Give up resistance, let that evil spirit break in, and we'll all die!"

Most importantly, he feared that once the ancient corpse evil spirit entered, it would stop killing others and only kill him.

Chu Qianzhou's sixth sense told him that he was the target of the ancient corpse scourge!

Therefore, even ordinary soldiers and lower-ranking individuals cannot harm it.

He also insisted on attrition tactics, believing that as long as he had time to break through, he could escape even if he was outmatched.

Xia Ren was furious. The leader had given this unique rank holder immense power, directly promoting him from an ordinary person to a major general.

But this guy is a coward who's afraid of death and has completely lost face.

His abilities were so formidable that they instilled fear in this seasoned veteran.

This is because its ability allows it to extract the life energy, or life force, of others.

In order to break through to the next realm as soon as possible, Chu Qianzhou added the 'Life' mark to many soldiers, extracting their life force.

Although those soldiers were volunteers.

Although everyone else agreed.

But Xia Ren always felt a thorn in his side because of this.

Chu Qianzhou opened the panel.

[Participant: Chu Qianzhou]

[Sequence - Unique: Arena of Life and Death]

[Sequence Ability 1 'Life Form': Regardless of how you come into contact with a target, such as through sight, mental energy, or physical contact, you can leave a 'Life' mark with the target's consent. The mark holder receives a 30% increase in all attributes, but a portion of their life energy is permanently extracted and absorbed by you. The effect is continuous and irreversible.]

[Sequence Ability Two 'Death Intent': Regardless of how one comes into contact with an enemy, such as through sight, mental envelopment, or physical contact, one can forcibly seize all of the enemy's buffs and mark them with the 'Death' mark. This greatly reduces the physical and mental attacks from the mark holder and provides a certain amount of damage reduction. The stronger one's fighting spirit, the greater the reduction.]

[Sequence Ability 3 'Life or Death Arena': Can pull allies and enemies holding 'Life' and 'Death' marks into the 'Arena'. In the arena, your attributes are the sum of all 'Life' mark holders, but cannot exceed three times your body's maximum tolerance. 'Death' mark holders' attributes decrease without any lower limit, the decrease depending on the enemy's morale. Each 'Death' mark holder killed grants a 1% bonus to all attributes, up to a maximum of 300%. After the 'Arena' ends, a portion of the plundered attributes will be permanently restored.]

[Level: Awakening (Limit)]

[Status: Perfect]

【Backpack:......】

What exactly is the difference?

Even though he was just one step away from breaking through, Chu Qianzhou always felt like there was a mountain between them.

He didn't know that, in addition to energy saturation, the transition from the Awakening level to the Control level also required understanding a rule.

Without understanding this, he would be unable to break through to the control level.

However, by relying on the sequence ability to extract the life energy of soldiers and accumulating it to a certain value, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

It's not impossible for someone to automatically learn a rule.

Observing its unique first-tier sequence, the "Arena of Life and Death," one can't help but feel its immense power.

If it weren't for the ancient corpses hindering his development, Chu Qianzhou might have already broken through by now.

Logically speaking, with such powerful sequence abilities, even if they are no match for the ancient corpse scourge, they should at least have room to fight back.

As long as Chu Qianzhou has a strong fighting spirit, he can greatly reduce the damage he suffers.

With the help of the military camp, all friendly forces and ancient corpses were drawn into the arena.

The chances of winning are still very high.

However, Chu Qianzhou simply did not have the courage to fight to the death. Without the will to fight, he could not weaken the ancient corpse scourge.

While Ability 3, "Life or Death Arena," can boost the attributes of companions, there is a limit to its effectiveness, and the boosted attributes will disappear when a companion is killed.

Therefore, the "Arena of Life and Death" may seem powerful, but that is based on Chu Qianzhou's own strength and fighting spirit.

Before the end of the universe, he was just an ordinary person working a nine-to-five job.

Where does all that fighting spirit come from?

Not being scared out of your wits by the evil spirits is a sign of good mental fortitude.

"Report! The target, the scourge, appears to have been severely damaged! It is currently fleeing towards the southern region!"

"Please instruct us whether to pursue!"

Xia Ren saw hope in his subordinate's report and grabbed Chu Qianzhou's arm: "The opportunity has come! We absolutely cannot let it escape!"
