I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I wasn’t far away from it. I might reach it in less than half a minute. But the issue here was in that wave. The energy kept pushing back but it gave me the impression it could sustain itself against all of us for long minutes.

“Screw it!” Just as I saw that gigantic arm posing outside the gate, I couldn’t help it anymore. Just a single wave of it made us face such disadvantages.

Imagine if that crazy bastard sent another wave towards us?

I couldn’t let him have his own way here!

“Keep attacking, I’ll leave things here to you,” as my two fallen gods completely absorbed the hills of stat points I threw over to them, I started to fix my gaze upon the gate itself.

This gate had to be sealed, and there was no one but me who could do it here.

Things reached such a state where I had to risk my life for it. Without further hesitation I pushed my chariot to the front, deeply infiltrating the bulk of the offensive wave.

I depended entirely over my shield to keep me alive. Without it, I wouldn’t dare to take a single step forward.

*Sizzle!* *Sizzle!*

It seemed like I was inside a giant piece of ice immersed under hot lava. All over my chariot I could see thick waves of golden vapour coming out from my shield.

Loud sizzling sounds emanated from my shield non-stop. I looked over and could only feel a little in front of those races. Damn! I was fighting all of these all alone and without any backing at all.

Despite feeling a little proud and threatened, I kept pushing forward. My flying speed was greatly diminished, yet I finally reached the side of that gate before that crazy dude on the other side would have the chance to attack.

“A meagre fly is trying to stand in front of me? A mortal standing in front of a god? What a hilarious joke this is!”

“This is the time of apocalypse,” I roared while pushing my chariot harder towards the gate, “and here even ants can slay gods!”

“Humph, I warn you this won’t be over here…” I saw that dude trying to recall his arm.

Come on! You dared to attack and tried to kill me. And now you want to use some sly mental game to buy yourself time and retreat from here safely… How could I allow you to have that safe and easy exit?

“If you dared to come, then you have to leave that arm behind!” I declared in a roaring shout before I touched the gate and conquered it. “This is my world, coming here holds a hefty price to pay!”

“I’ll kill you!” he roared and I only laughed back while watching that portal turning into a dead one, closing fast around his rapidly retreating arm.

“Many told me so and failed, hahaha!” I watched his arm getting cut from slightly over the elbow while an ear deafening wail came from the other side before the gate was shut.

And with it, it seemed like the energy supporting that deadly wave ceased to exist. The wave trembled fiercely and in less than ten seconds it couldn’t last against all the offence coming at it.

*Crack!*

It started to consolidate fast, forming a corporeal layer of semi-solid matter. Then cracks appeared all over like an egg shell getting smashed before it finally was destroyed and fell to the ground.

“Grab every single piece of it,” just as I used the rope at the deck of my chariot to jump over the ground below, I shouted at my warriors, giving them such order.

That wave seemed special in my eyes. Even when it was crushed, it didn’t vanish and stayed in its semi-solid state on the ground.

Such a rare chance to get something way beyond my reach here in the apocalypse was something I wouldn’t miss.

Just like it, I also highly eyed that severed gigantic arm that fell like a small mountain over the ground.

This arm size reminded me of that deadly dark realm monster I killed before. Yet when I touched it, all I got was a message telling me I could get two bones from this arm.

Putting my class advancement I got from my visit to the death shrine before, this meant I’d get four bones instead.

“I’ll take them,” anything would be useful, especially if I risked my life for it. Just as I got the next four messages, I couldn’t help but feel a little cold at my back.

Damn! The four bones were all black grade bones. Black grade was higher than dark gold grade and only inferior to the red bones I got from the dark realm monster.

Who was exactly my foe here? Was he someone that terrifying?

For a second there I recalled his last threatening words and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. Why was I acting like a disaster magnet, draggin all kinds of terrifying and deadly enemies to my path?

What was wrong with me?

Just as I claimed the four bones, that piece of arm decayed fast and turned into ash. It seemed this was all I got from this clash, in addition to those deadly wave pieces that my warriors were gathering.

As my warriors worked fast, many pieces started to gather around me. I stored them all but held one for inspection.

“Phew!” I sucked in a cold air of breath, “this dude… was he really a god or what?”

I felt dense sweat perspiration over my forehead and face. I hurriedly wiped them before waving for my fallen god to come.

“See how much energy this piece can give you,” I threw this piece to him and added, “consume it and see what benefits you’ll get.”

“Yes lord,” he looked in a puzzled way toward me before he released the same thick gas to consume that piece.
