My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927: Chapter 927 Toothless Tigers

Level 1 zombies might have been faster and stronger than their level 0 counterparts, but their meager improvements were useless against her. Their bites shattered their teeth harmlessly against her hardened metal skin, while their claws broke off the moment they tried to rake her.

To Evelyn, these creatures weren’t monsters at all; they were nothing but toothless tigers throwing themselves into the grinder.

As the battle against the zombie wave dragged on, three rotations had already passed, more than an hour of nonstop fighting. Exhaustion was setting in, and despite their efforts, the horde kept pressing forward.

The survivors could feel it: the line was slowly being pushed back, the undead creeping closer and closer to the shelter walls. Panic began to spread among those watching from within.

"This is bad! This is bad! They’re almost at the walls!" one of the survivors cried out, his voice breaking as terror overtook him. His legs gave way beneath him, and he collapsed onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

In his state of panic, he lost control of himself, a yellowish liquid pooling beneath him. The sight and smell made the others freeze in dread, their fear spiking even higher as they realized just how close the zombies had come.

At that moment, Kisha arrived with Duke, hovering above the shelter unnoticed by the exhausted defenders below. From her vantage point, she could clearly see the strain on the fighters, fatigue written in every movement.

Even Vulture and Evelyn, holding the front line with unyielding resolve, were beginning to falter. Scratches and near-bites marred their armored bodies, yet their formidable defenses kept the zombies from inflicting real damage.

Still, it was evident that their strength was waning, and the horde showed no sign of stopping.

But even after Kisha and Duke appeared, they did not act immediately. Instead, they scanned the battlefield carefully, searching for the mutated zombie suspected of commanding the horde.

Unfortunately, the creature was nowhere to be found. With no other choice, the two descended from the sky—like gods stepping down into the mortal world. Cloaked and imposing, they radiated a celestial aura that froze the battlefield. For a brief moment, both gunfire and awakened abilities ceased as everyone gazed upward in awe.

"The City Lord and Vice City Lord have arrived!" a warrior from HOPE Base shouted, his voice brimming with excitement as he caught sight of Kisha’s side profile.

And the moment those words rang out, every gaze turned upward to see Kisha and Duke descending. Instantly, morale surged.

As soon as Kisha set foot within the city, her passive skills activated, her stats skyrocketing tenfold thanks to ’One Man Team’ and the restorative field of her ’Healing Dome’. But she didn’t stop there.

"Let’s go and kill them all!" she roared, her voice carrying the power of her skill ’Lion’s Roar’. The battlefield trembled as her next ability, ’Survival of the Fittest’, spread across the fighters, boosting their survival instincts by 20% and hardening their resolve. Fear melted away, replaced by a burning determination.

The crowd erupted into cheers, their fighting spirit reignited. It was as if raw adrenaline had been injected into their veins, abilities flared brighter, powers struck harder, and their attacks came faster than before.

Finally, Kisha unleashed ’One Body’, amplifying the synergy of the entire force. Combined with Clyde and Reeve’s own synergy effects, the buffs exceeded 100%, flooding everyone with boundless energy. The shelter was small enough that not a single soul was left untouched; each fighter felt their strength swell, brimming with power as the tide of battle shifted.

The moment Kisha descended, she unleashed her ’Rainbow Cube,’ letting it dominate the battlefield. The ’Rainbow Cubes’ that scattered in the battlefield encased dozens of zombies at once, crushing them flat in quick succession. With her stats amplified tenfold, her mere arrival shifted the tide of battle, driving the horde back step by step.

Duke, meanwhile, charged into the frontline alongside Vulture and Evelyn, his spear slicing through clusters of zombies with lethal precision. At the same time, he summoned his devastating ’Fire Meteor.’

Flames rained from the sky like a storm, and every strike reduced the undead not to charred corpses but to ashes, leaving behind only glittering crystal cores. The sheer power of his awakened ability was all thanks to the purity of Duke’s spiritual energy, though the skill itself hadn’t leveled up; its power had grown immensely, each attack consuming only a fraction of his spiritual energy.

Feeling the difference, Duke didn’t hold back. He called down ’Fire Meteor’ after ’Fire Meteor’, a relentless storm of flames. Between each fiery strike, he bound the zombies in front of him in place with ice that crawled up their legs, freezing them solid until their bodies shattered like brittle glass.

Then, Duke unleashed another disaster-level ability, ’Lightning Rain’. Bolts of lightning poured from the sky in a deadly storm, striking the battlefield at random. The zombies had no way of knowing who would be struck next, and in an instant, the massacre turned entirely one-sided.

The survivors from the shelter fell silent, their wails dying in their throats as they stared in stunned disbelief. Even those firing their weapons gradually lowered them, realizing it was wiser to conserve ammunition than waste it.

With only Duke and Kisha holding the front line, it felt as though an entire battalion was tearing through the horde—just the two of them were enough to wipe out the zombies.

Yet the awakened ability users from HOPE Base didn’t hold back. On the contrary, they were even more exhilarated, hurling their abilities into the fray with renewed fervor. To fight alongside their strongest couple was not just a battle—it was an honor.
