My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 597

Sure enough, the moment Vulture landed on the ground and began smashing zombies with his hammer, he seamlessly incorporated his earth spikes into the fight.

He strategically conjured them at random intervals, primarily to cover his blind spots and ensure no zombies could approach him from behind.

The spikes would erupt suddenly from the ground, either impaling or trapping any zombies attempting to sneak up on him, effectively creating a protective barrier around him as he continued his relentless assault.

Vulture fought like a beast unleashed from captivity, his relentless assault unyielding.

Suddenly, a zombie lunged at him from behind, wrapping its decayed arms around his neck and coiling its legs tightly around his waist.

From atop the wall, Bald Eagle’s panic was evident as he shouted warnings, but Vulture remained calm.

He didn’t flinch or falter—instead, a confident smirk spread across his face, as though the situation was entirely under his control.

"Foolish move!" Vulture growled, his voice tinged with contempt.

In an instant, jagged earth spikes erupted from every surface of his armor, piercing the zombie clinging to him.

One massive spike shot upward from the crown of his head, skewering the creature from its chin through to its temple.

For a brief moment, Vulture resembled a living porcupine, bristling with lethal spikes.

As the zombie’s lifeless body fell limp, the spikes receded smoothly back into the armor, leaving Vulture unscathed and unfazed.

Since Vulture was clad in his earth armor, he had complete control over the spikes that could emerge from every surface of it.

This unique advantage gave him the confidence to dive headfirst into the fray without hesitation.

The spikes served as both offense and defense, ensuring his safety even in the thick of the horde.

With this, Vulture wasn’t overly concerned about being surrounded.

He knew that when fatigue eventually set in, he could simply create stepping stones to ascend back to the top of the wall, rejoining Bald Eagle and the others to regroup.

"Damn! I didn’t know you could do that!" Bald Eagle exclaimed the moment Vulture climbed back up.

He couldn’t help but circle around him, marveling at the impressive earth armor.

However, the once-mighty armor was now smeared with thick, black zombie blood from all the ramming and impaleling it had endured.

Vulture, unfazed by the mess, retracted the armor with a simple motion, revealing his sweat-drenched but determined face.

A nearby warrior quickly handed him a bottle of water, which Vulture accepted with a grateful nod.

"That’s an innovative way to use the earth element," commented one of the earth-type ability users, his tone filled with admiration.

His eyes gleamed with respect as he regarded Vulture, as though he had just witnessed the creation of a groundbreaking technique.

After all, most of them had been throwing earth spikes like javelins since the zombie wave began, and the constant effort was wearing them down.

Their throws often missed the mark, as precision became harder with fatigue.

Being positioned high above the ground also limited their ability to conjure earth spikes at a distance, as their current strength didn’t allow for a wider range.

Even Vulture hadn’t mastered that level of reach yet.

However, watching him engage in close combat while using an earth armor to shield himself was nothing short of ingenious.

Before long, the other earth-type awakened ability users followed Vulture’s lead.

They donned their own versions of earth armor and armed themselves with the sturdiest weapons they could find, descending into the fray to engage the zombies in close combat.

However, with many of the zombies now significantly leveled up, taking them down proved far from easy.

"Watch out!" Bald Eagle shouted urgently. At the sound of his voice, Vulture snapped to attention, instantly alert. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
