Global End, I Awaken the Unique Rank Speedrun Dungeon

Kyoto City.

Chu Qianzhou slowed his pace, intending to deliberately delay the action and lose track of the ancient corpse scourge, thus avoiding a battle.

Commander Chen Hui, sent by Xia Ren, saw through his thoughts and urged, "Major General Chu, the reconnaissance planes sent by the army will guide us. Let's hurry on our way."

"If we arrive too late, the evil spirit will recover from its injuries, making the subsequent battles more difficult."

His words were, of course, meant to tell Chu Qianzhou that a battle between them and the ancient corpse scourge was inevitable, and that they should not harbor any illusions of luck.

Chu Qianzhou glanced at the regimental commander who was speaking. He recognized the man and knew he was one of Xia Ren's men.

That damn guy even sent spies to spy on me!

Cursing under his breath, Chu Qianzhou ignored the regimental commander and continued walking slowly on his own.

Others were displeased by this, but Chu Qianzhou was a unique sequence holder, whose status and position were beyond their reach.

We can only slow down as the other party slows down.

Regimental Commander Chen Hui frowned: "Major General Chu, the commander ordered us to pursue the seriously wounded villain. First, you refused to ride in the armored assault vehicle, and now you're walking so slowly, not putting in any effort. Are you trying to disobey orders?"

Chu Qianzhou was not pleased.

"Do you think you can teach me?"

The ancient corpse scourge has suffered a severe blow?

Chu Qianzhou scoffed, these mortals simply didn't understand the power of the unique sequence.

Let alone the ancient corpses causing trouble, even if it were Chu Qianzhou himself, if he wanted to, the artillery fire and bullets of the military camp would be useless to him.

The gap between the unique-level sequence and other-level sequences is even greater than the gap between a sequence holder and an ordinary person!

"Listen up, everyone. I'm going to add 'marks' to you to enter the 'arena' for battle. If you're assigned the 'death' mark, let me kill you when you're critically injured."

Before everyone could recover from their shock...

Chu Qianzhou clenched his fist with one hand: "It's impossible to overwhelm the target with sheer numbers. Only by focusing all our combat power on myself can we have any hope."

He gave everyone a summary of the effects of Sequence Ability Three, "Life or Death Competition".

To maximize his attribute boosts, he must personally kill enemies marked with the 'Death' symbol.

The problem is that there is only one ancient corpse scourge, and there may not be other scourges nearby when fighting the opponent.

Therefore, in order to fully stack the passive 300% all attribute increase.

The worst-case scenario is that 300 "lucky ones" are chosen from a thousand people to be sacrificed.

In addition, teammates with the "Life" mark receive a triple boost to all attributes.

In total, all attributes can be increased by six times on top of the original value.

Including physical fitness, mental strength, life energy, source energy...

Of course, this is the ideal situation, and actual combat may not proceed as ideally.

"How could this be? Are we not going to die at the hands of the evil spirits, but instead be killed by our own people?"

"This is absolutely absurd!"

Chu Qianzhou chuckled coldly. He wasn't afraid of a lack of people to provide him with the amplification of the 'death' mark; there would always be someone willing to pay the price with their life.

He simply accepted the contributions of these fools, and why? Because he was a unique-level sequence member.

Just like the queen bee and worker bees, Chu Qianzhou relied on the sequence to become the most crucial core, while the other lower-level sequence members could only become stepping stones for him to complete his mission.

It's unfair, but there's no other way.

That's just the way it is; cruelty is the underlying tone of reality.

"What is this sacrifice if we can kill the evil spirit?" Chen Hui reassured everyone. "When the time comes, please have Major General Chu mark me with the 'death' mark. It is my honor as a soldier to give my life for victory."

Chen Hui's words not only calmed the situation.

It also boosted everyone's fighting spirit.

Chu Qianzhou agreed dismissively. Even without Chen Hui saying anything, he would have marked this guy with the 'death' mark.

As Xia Ren's spy, monitoring him, Chen Hui already has a way to die!

An hour later.

They finally arrived at the location designated by the reconnaissance plane, but the target, the scourge, remained elusive.

Lost them?

Chu Qianzhou was overjoyed. Losing him was good; he could go straight back. He didn't want to run into the ancient corpse scourge.

No sooner had the idea formed than a dark figure attacked from the twelve o'clock direction, easily breaking through the crowd in front and heading straight for Chu Qianzhou!

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!!"

Chu Qianzhou felt a terrifying aura so close at hand, and was immediately terrified.

Ignoring the inappropriate wording, he rushed straight to the back of the crowd, grabbing two bewildered sequencers along the way to protect him.

"you!"

puff!

Before the two Sequencers could finish their insults against Chu Qianzhou, a pair of withered, black hands pierced their chests and flung them away with tremendous force.

He crashed into the building with a thud, his face was completely mangled, but no blood gushed out from the large hole in his chest.

Those nearby were horrified; the two corpses had turned into dried-up scabbards, their flesh and blood gone.

"Attention all personnel! The target, the scourge, has appeared!"

"Maintain formation! Don't panic!"

Chen Hui shouted to Chu Qianzhou, "Major General Chu! Quickly confirm the candidates for the 'Mark' and bring them into the arena!"

At this point, Chu Qianzhou no longer cared about what Chen Hui had taught him to do.

He decisively used his mental power to casually mark three hundred people and the ancient corpse scourge with the 'death' mark, and then selected the remaining seven hundred people to mark them with the 'life' mark.

Having exhausted most of his source energy in one go, Chu Qianzhou dared not relax and activated the 'Life and Death Arena'!

In an instant, all the more than a thousand people in the arena and the ancient corpse scourge vanished.

......

On the vast, boundless, crimson earth.

More than a thousand figures appeared from the void, and the ancient corpse scourge also appeared not far from Chu Qianzhou.

Those emotionless, jet-black eyes were fixed on Chu Qianzhou.

"Damn it, what are you looking at!"

Chu Qianzhou was terrified and cursed to bolster his courage.

The ancient corpse demon grinned, its withered skin lifting with its muscles, like a rag that had been stained for years coming to life.

Chen Hui commanded the battlefield: "Everyone, surround Major General Chu and fight the evil spirits! Brothers marked with the 'death' mark... swear to protect Major General Chu with your lives! If necessary, sacrifice yourselves!"

Those who realized they had been marked with the 'death' mark turned pale.

Many people resentfully hated Chu Qianzhou, but no one dared to refuse him.

Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight!

"Support-type sequence users provide assistance!"

"Remote attack units, be on high alert! Aim at your target and launch an attack!"

"Those with strong physical attributes, move forward!"

Centered on Chu Qianzhou, the Sequence members marked with the 'death' symbol tightly protected him.

Those outside the 'Death' mark are mostly auxiliary sequences, using their abilities to provide buffs to the outermost sequences.

Those with superior physical attributes at the very front formed a wall of flesh and blood.

Resist the scourge of the ancient corpse!

"Tsk tsk tsk—"

Those present heard its laughter; the shrill sound was like fingernails scratching back and forth on rusty steel, tormenting their nerves.

Gurgle.

Chu Qianzhou swallowed hard. While he was still trembling with fear over the upcoming battle, Chen Hui roared, "Kill!!!"

Battle is imminent!
