My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 472

Only one person managed to stay awake, but Vulture and Sparrow couldn’t get through to him as he started mumbling to himself in fear. Kisha awkwardly scratched the tip of her nose, realizing that her intention had been to scare them just a little—not to scare them silly.

But what’s done is done. Kisha, along with Sparrow and Vulture, rested for a while inside the territory.

The two of them took a short nap before deciding to train, eager to prepare for their second level-up.

Kisha had already set a clear timeframe for them to follow, and they needed to grow stronger to make their work easier.

She allowed them the freedom to find their own spaces within the territory and gave them unrestricted access to the Scarlet Honey and Crystal Core until they reached level 2.

While waiting for four STAU to wake up and the other one to get better, Kisha turned her focus to Zeus, giving it the same amount of Crystal Core as she had to Bell.

Meanwhile, Bell was sent to find Duke and assess his condition again.

Like the wall’s deadline, Duke’s mission only had four days left starting tomorrow. Kisha could only hope he’d make it, but more than that, she was worried about his safety.

Deep down, she still feared for his life, and that anxiety kept her from resting easy.

Not knowing his condition weighed on her, so to ease her mind, she entrusted Bell with the task of checking on him and offering whatever support it could.

At least now, the base was stable and didn’t require Bell to remain on constant alert. Additionally, with numerous Scarlet Bees stationed along the walls, even if Bell had to leave, her commands would be acknowledged and followed by the bees, ensuring that the base remained secure in her absence.

The moment Kisha placed 630 crystal cores in front of Zeus, he devoured them as if it were a bowl of dog food.

He didn’t even bother to chew; with each bite, he swallowed mouthfuls of crystal cores, causing Kisha to choke up in worry.

Zeus wasn’t like Bell, who had a special constitution to handle such massive amounts of spiritual energy. She quickly reached out, holding onto Zeus’s head, watching nervously as he consumed the crystals like he’d been starved.

Kisha struggled with Zeus, who had already devoured nearly half of the crystal cores in just two bites.

"Ugh! I forgot this one’s a complete glutton," Kisha muttered as she tried to hold him back. Zeus, however, was fixated on the remaining crystal cores, determined to break free from her grip to get to them.

"Master, delicious! Zeus eat!" Zeus whined, wriggling in Kisha’s grip, desperate to reach the crystal cores.

"No! Sit down for a bit!" Kisha commanded firmly. Just as the words left her mouth, Zeus’s body began to glow, signaling his sudden level-up to level 2. But before Kisha could even process it, another burst of light radiated from him, hinting at yet another level up.

"Great..." she sighed, her heart racing with worry. She quickly stored the remaining crystal cores back in her inventory, fearing that if Zeus ate any more, he might actually explode.

"Arf! Master, tummy hurts! Head hurts! Zeus dying!" Zeus whimpered in a pained, frantic tone, curling up and whining non-stop.

Kisha’s heart raced as panic set in—Zeus was clearly suffering from the side effects of consuming too many crystal cores too quickly.

He’d leveled up without having a chance to properly consolidate his strength, leading to this painful backlash.

Zeus was lucky his head hadn’t exploded immediately. Kisha sat down beside him, focusing intently as she attempted to sense the erratic flow of his spiritual energy.

Gently, she channeled her own energy into his veins, guiding his turbulent energy along a stable path, like a breeze supporting a paper plane, helping it reach its destination.
