I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

125 The Cat And Mouse Game



“Soulers…” I said without batting an eye, “take this and bind them to these…”

A group of soulers flashed and without asking anything they took what I took out and vanished. And then I kept moving according to their plan, towards their tight trap.

“You are going to die!” the monster jumped again and like always its attack missed. The aftermath of that violent detonation wasn’t inferior to all the explosions before.

But that one was special, as it put my chariot in the perfect place of the trap.

“You can’t run,” the monster said as its immense body appeared like a deadly black shadow amidst the brutal fire. It seemed that Curasee didn’t give a damn about the monster’s body at all.

“You can’t evade,” it kept speaking while taking one step at a time, like it was enjoying this moment. “You can attack, but you won’t kill us all and eventually… You’ll die in my hands!”

It raised one of its new grown limbs and there I saw very sharp, steel-like claws that flashed sparks of fire when they crossed each other.

“You will die!” a vicious voice came from the forces behind, attracting my attention. He was a dragon, and he wasn’t alone. He was standing in the middle of a big line up formed by at least one thousand dragon race youths.

“You’ll pay for killing my kin!” he added in a challenge while pointing his big axe at my face.

“I want a fair duel with him,” a Selvator cladded in shiny white armour spoke as he stood in the middle of his own forces, “that human is interestingly strong. I want a duel with him first.”

“So you can kill him and enjoy the feast alone?” a berserker race appeared at last with his forces. He wasn’t any smaller in size than the dragons or Selvators, but he had most of his body naked without any scrap of armour.

“He is just a nice tasty human,” a sexy looking girl appeared. She had a curved contour with slightly long stature. Wearing a tight sparkling red leather dress, exposing most of her back and shoulders, made her look hotter.

She was a succubus, a race I knew how to deal with.

My heart pendant appeared once again as I wore it. Of course I wouldn’t fear clashing strength with another, but against the succubus race I had to be more cautious.

She sent me a wink and a kiss in the air. With the pendant, her magic didn’t work, even if she sat in my embrace.

“Kakaka! I see you already have a big crowd of fans,” the monster laughed before it turned all serious, “but this little fly is mine! You are here only to block his retreat and nothing else.”

Its words were very brutal, as if they came from the god of death himself. I watched the faces of those strong races change, while feeling not a speck of sorry over them.

Who said that a monster controlled by the Curasee would leave them alive after killing me? They were delusional to think an alliance with a Curasee was something possible.

They were sold out, sold out by the angels. But to my disappointment, I had to save their lives by killing that monster myself.

“Now!” Just as the two sides were having such small internal strife, I whispered to my forces waiting for my order.

*Fwoosh!*

The first ballista arrow was launched without warning. When everyone noticed the arrow, it was already too late to do anything.

After all… This wasn’t a simple arrow like before…

*Rumble!*

This was an arrow with a grenade of death attached to its tip!

And just as the grenade fell, death followed!

Instantly, five hundred metre radius was engulfed into a terrorising explosion that didn’t lack anything compared to that of the monster.

“You are really strong,” the monster laughed before it raised its head high in the air, “send another one, that dude can’t be easily killed!”

I knew it was talking to the angels. Another attack of that star weapon would come, but who said I’d just run away without killing much more?

*Fwoosh!* without any hesitation I drove my chariot over to the thick and crowded lines of enemies behind. I didn’t need to do anything except to let my chariot move with her big ass, smashing and flattening anything she met with ground.

“Release the beam!” I coldly said while releasing the deadly AOE attacks of the chariot for the first time.

The chariot released curved beams in different sizes, moving in half moon arch shaped waves. They cleaved any enemy they faced, before finally hitting the ground and creating explosions everywhere.

The entire scene changed by my sudden attack, and the terror I invited here didn’t stop at this!

My grenade of death was really brutal, yet it went off in ten seconds. Unlike the star weapon which could last for minutes, yet it left behind an empty space littered with dead bodies inside.

The sheer number killed here wasn’t important, what was important was the ones they killed; the dragons!

The most terrifying enemy I feared in this battle was the dragons, then Berserkers came next. That is if I was considering my entire force. But if I considered myself alone, then the succubi would come first without my pendant, then the Selvators!

Selvators were brutal, yet I knew how to deal with them. These guys valued pride and highly esteemed justice and fairness in any fight to a sick level.

But the sneaky bastards who wouldn’t stop at using any underhanded methods to kill my forces and me would be the dragons. They had no code of honour except their arrogance and greed.

By eliminating one threat and killing most of the dragon’s strong fighters early on, I could eliminate the Berserkers as well.

However I didn’t do that. In fact I left them for another task, dealing with the monster.

Of course the Curasee residing inside the monster didn’t care at all about the alliance between him and these races. So when he saw me running into the ranks of those races, he instantly followed.

“Release that damn attack over him now!” the monster roared while running with its gigantic body, smashing a broad sector in the enemy lines without any preservations at all!

I turned for a second and all I could see was a wide gap created by that monster. Good, kill more, kill without mercy and show them your true villainous nature.

I started to push my chariot as deep as possible. Of course the speed of my chariot decreased as I forced it to glide on the ground, crushing any enemy it faced.

I knew this wouldn’t take me far from the monster, but who said I was aiming at running away from him? I was just trying to drag it inside this grand army of tens of thousands, before the angels would jump in as well.

*Rumble!*

It took ten minutes from the angels to make up their minds. Of course they had to choose between hitting me and killing much more of their allied forces, or to stay silent and stand idle while watching me and the monster playing the catching game between the cat and mouse.

And their allied forces would be squeezed and smashed by the two of us!

As the red beam of light descended, I knew that deadly monster would arrive. I aimed this time towards the succubi region, alongside many combined races where they held the heart location of this army.

The heart was the perfect place for the incoming brutal explosion. And like before, I simply moved my chariot away and evaded the incoming disaster.

I had to fly my chariot high in the air to regain her speed. Yet the enemies at the ground weren’t lucky like me.

*Rumble!*

The monster landed and the beam exploded. A mighty explosion occurred, clearing hundreds of metres around the monster in a span of a few breaths.

Then the shockwave continued, crushing all the races around, forcing them to fall on the ground from the brutal force.

“Go!”

Not letting this chance slip by, I drove my chariot back to the ground while being forced partially to do so thanks to the immense and irresistible shockwave.

Once getting to the ground, I spread over all my warriors without holding anything back. All the warriors were deployed, leaving only ten Bulltors, the Gollems, and fifty illusionists behind.

The rest just went forward and ventured into the deadly battlefield. My orders were simple; just kill anything alongside my chariot and try to keep up with my speed.

“You damn slippery bastard!” the monster roared in anger, yet I felt all this was simply a show. I knew the Curasee inside was burning his life force with each passing minute. Yet considering his big life force, he wasn’t in any danger for two to three hours at least.

All this was a show, a fake front that damned Curasee put on the surface to justify what he would do next.

After all, killing me was one of his goals, killing all of us was his sole purpose in life!

So even before the deadly explosion he created using the monster would subside, he controlled the monster to run after me.

And in his run, I noticed his intentional staggering, to widen up the area of his attack.

Dude… Don’t be this impatient. I would create a stage for your behemoth to kill and shine, don’t worry about that!

During the next half an hour, we kept this situation unchanged. The races kept dying under the brutality of that monster while I led my chariot on the ground, adding more to the large list of the dead races here.

Even if the enemy brought tens of thousands and even more, in front of such merciless enemies like the two of us they held no chance.

And that wasn’t the end of it!

My warriors kept moving at high speed, killing anyone they could reach without reservation. My only regret was to leave all such treasure troves behind without cleansing their inventories for now.

Just wait… I’d finish off that damn monster before returning to you my dear babies.

“Open your eyes wide and see what’s going on here!” Just after the passage of almost an hour from the start of this battle, I shouted at the scattered forces of all races in the city. “This monster isn’t your ally! It’s killing you despite its target being me!”

“Kakaka! That’s the silliest joke I ever heard!” The monster laughed and tried to make fun of my words. It wouldn’t let the races wake up and join me in fighting it. Or else things would become ugly.

Yet I didn’t speak for an entire hour to let those races have such doubt before shouting this fact towards them. If I said these words at the early minutes of this fight, they wouldn’t believe me.

But now? Anyone with a brain would see this monster wasn’t trying even to minimise the losses on their side.

“Even the angels betrayed you! I hereby ask for a temporary alliance, either we unite together and kill this monster or stand alone and be killed by him,” I shouted before adding in a louder tone, “send one Selvator to my chariot, let him lead the negotiations of that alliance with me.”

Of course this was the sole purpose of letting the mighty and terrifying Selvators survive till now. I had more grenades of death to use, enough to kill at least the Selvators and the Berserkers.

Yet I didn’t use any yet. Even during my running, I did my best to avoid the places where these two races gathered their top fighters.

It wasn’t out of my sympathy, I would fight them eventually and would kill them all later on. But at this moment the only race I could trust his words was the Selvators. Those dudes took the matter of honour to a whole new level.

As for the Berserkers… Well to win a war one must preserve his best fighters till the crucial moment, right?
