My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse - Chapter 615

Chapter 615: Chapter 615 Up Up Up!
Now, Duke was on a roll, eagerly exploring the capabilities of his newly awakened ability. As its name suggested, ‘Absolute Zone’ granted him complete control over everything within its range.

Inside this zone, he could manipulate speed—slowing enemies down, accelerating movements, or even momentarily freezing time itself.

However, since the ability was still new, he could only create a zone with a five-foot radius, forming a protective barrier around him. Despite its current limitations, it was more than enough to help him evade attacks from agility-type enemies and detect sneak attacks before they could land.

Now, he felt like an unstoppable force—an invisible fighter who could seamlessly switch between long-range combat and melee battles. With his newly awakened abilities complementing his already formidable skill set, he could overpower almost anyone.

Even Kisha would find it challenging to contend with him, given the lethal combination of his lightning and mental abilities.

It was this very ability that solidified Duke’s position as one of the strongest, especially when combined with his lightning-type awakened ability, which was ranked first in power. He was practically a one-man army.

When Kisha initially saw that he had only awakened elemental abilities—ones he didn’t even possess in her previous life—she assumed they had replaced his mental-type ability.

However, now she saw that it wasn’t the case at all—he had instead undergone a second awakening. The sheer unfairness of it all was almost unbelievable to ordinary people.

‘Comparison really hurts,’ Kisha thought, momentarily comparing herself to Duke. But she quickly brushed the thought aside. They each had their own strengths and weaknesses, and it wasn’t as if her awakened ability was weaker than his—she just hadn’t fully tapped into its full potential yet. In fact, she had a feeling there was more to her ability than she currently understood.

With that in mind, she refocused on the present. Taking a deep breath, she soared back up to the top of the wall. This time, she could feel her skill, ‘People’s Heart’, surging through her like a powerful current, seamlessly merging with her body and soul.

She raised her hand, her eyes glowing gold as her hair floated weightlessly around her. In an instant, the zombies standing before her had their heads explode like fireworks, painting the battlefield with gore.

But it didn’t stop there—the second row of zombies met the same gruesome fate, their skulls bursting as if caught in an invisible force.

‘This feeling…!’ Kisha thought, a cold chuckle escaping her lips.

Unlike before, she felt no strain—only raw, overwhelming power coursing through her veins. She could keep going, effortlessly wiping out wave after wave without a hint of exhaustion.

Combining her ‘Energy Burst’ skill with ‘Rainbow Cube’, Kisha’s attacks became faster and deadlier than ever. It was as if mana and spiritual energy were no longer a concern—she could unleash an onslaught without restraint.

Feeling unstoppable, she singlehandedly tore through the endless waves of zombies, her power cutting them down by the thousands.

‘Let’s see which is faster,’ she mused, eyes glinting with determination. ‘Will they reach the wall first, or will I wipe them out before they take another step?’

It wasn’t arrogance—her boosted stats and support skills had elevated her strength to a whole new level. Now, she was eager to test just how far her power could go.

In no time, the number of zombies outside the wall continued to dwindle as Kisha’s attacks grew even faster and more relentless. The soldiers who had managed to climb back up the wall to watch could only stare in awe, feeling almost sorry for the zombies that were being slaughtered like flies caught in a pesticide storm.

With Kisha leading the charge, time seemed to fly by effortlessly. The once-overwhelming fear had faded, replaced by sheer astonishment.

No one even thought to cry—they simply watched, wide-eyed, as she singlehandedly tore through the relentless wave of undead.

…

A series of notifications bombarded Kisha’s view, but she quickly muted them. There was no need to keep track of every activation or the successful damage she was dealing to the zombies; she was attacking on autopilot, her strikes landing randomly and relentlessly.

Meanwhile, the southern wall was no different. Duke had returned—stronger than ever. His newfound power carved through the enemy ranks with ease, proving that his second awakening had made him even more formidable than before.

Then, without warning, two brilliant bursts of light tore through the sky, splitting the darkness in opposite directions, and signaling the turning point of the battle.

…

Kisha also noticed the bright light flashing from the other side of the wall and had a strong feeling about who might have leveled up.

Curious, she opened the ‘Team Tab’ and saw Duke’s name and profile glowing.

As soon as the light around her own body faded, she immediately clicked on Duke’s profile to check his new stats.

After all, he had just undergone a second awakening, and she was eager to see what new perks had been added to his abilities.

…

…

But as soon as she saw his stats had jumped by 110 points, she rolled her eyes.

‘Of course! The gods’ chosen child gets a massive boost.’

His stats had nearly doubled!

Kisha gawked at the status window in front of her, staring at Duke’s new numbers in disbelief. And this was without any special perks like hers—no stat increases from hellish mission rewards.

But him?

Duke’s stats were absolutely insane!

Seeing that ‘Absolute Zone,’ ‘Movement Manipulation,’ and ‘Time Manipulation’ had already appeared on his skill stat confirmed that he had quickly adapted to them in such a short amount of time.

‘No wonder many consider him a monster,’ Kisha thought to herself.
