I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

“It was also led by an enemy like the ones we are fighting here.”

“…”

This time I could feel the atmosphere getting heavier as everyone got shocked and quite scared.

Many didn’t witness my pocket world battle. After all, I went inside alone to chase after my two kidnapped girls.

But the stories about it spread over, not to mention most if not all of them already visited that world more than once already.

“Your meaning?” The jumper kept silent, like everyone else, for a long minute before slowly asking.

“My point is, meeting this enemy here isn’t just a stroke of bad luck or coincidence… We are destined to meet this enemy more often, more than what any of you might have thought! We are destined to fight, not just here, not just at our apocalypse, but what lies beyond the vast universe, and even what lies beyond that.”

I stopped, left them to absorb what I just said before slowly adding, “accept it earlier, the earlier it is, the better. This enemy won’t disappear from our lives when we leave here. So take this chance, try to get used to dealing with them, find ways to crush and kill them without losing your lives in the process.”

I turned around, towards this world where things looked quite difficult and very challenging, “this isn’t just a hiccup, an obstacle we need to overcome… This is a training ground, one that’ll prepare us for what yet to come.”

I stopped while moving my chariot towards the nearest shield zone and added, “Who is going to take the first honour this time?”

I said it, referring to the time when I opened the portals to other worlds and the jumper stepped up.

“He took it last time, let me go this time,” Sara was the first one to speak, faster than Legend who was just half beat away from volunteering.

“Cool,” I didn’t tell her anything, not to slow down, not to try and think wisely, not even considered giving her any tactic. I simply added, “attack with all your might, do everything you want, and never stop fighting.”

“Will I stay inside forever?” She asked, referring to the time of taking over the central zones at the twenty areas from before.

“No, this time we’ll invade the world, one shield at a time.”

​ She didn’t get it at first, like many others. But the jumper, Isac, and Legend managed to pick what I truly meant.

Others would understand, eventually.

“What about my forces? Armies? Warriors?” she looked at me like I was abandoning her in the middle of nowhere or something.

“Take these…” I waved, and instantly tons of warriors appeared. I had lots of forces with gears, and so I took out two million mixed troops wearing gear in addition to other warriors with full stats, reaching all into ten million.

“This…”

I held my horn, never cared about her reaction, and shouted to all of them, “Follow her orders as if they came from me.”

It was enough and direct to make them follow her lead.

“Thanks,” her shock turned into excitement, jumping at once from my chariot before vanishing through hers towards the bottom.

“Tsk, she is quite impatient!” I shook my head, “she didn’t give me time to explain the role of the new troops with gears.”

“Don’t worry about that,” Legend suddenly said, “all of us are well aware of how deadly your geared forces are.”

“Good,” I nodded, “but there are few formidable foes down there, even new ones as well.”

“We got to watch and analyse them while you kept fighting,” Isabella said, “don’t worry, we weren’t slacking back there.”

“Great,” I controlled my chariot and moved it towards the next shield, “who is going to take the next one?”

One by one, I left my generals at each zone, leaving behind the same alignment of forces in each zone.

Such a grand number of troops was enough to crush the enemy. However there were those one eyed giants, and those flying suit dudes.

After I finished doing this, I turned my attention towards one simple task… I should find a way to solve the problem of these forces outside the shields, especially these two annoying races.

The moment I stepped into my chariot, not a single enemy tried to attack me. I roamed the place freely, while considering my options here.

I could simply use my shields down there to stack damage and then release them outwards. Or, I could create shields, activate bones, and release them inside these shields.

I could summon a grand army of my elites, start a grand massacre all over the place. Or I simply could use the artefacts of mine, try to affect gravity to handle those flying bastards and augment the strength of my forces at the same time.

The first method was simply the easiest one. I’d just wait for a day or two, release the counterattack from my shields, and then wait for the attack to end and assess the results.

However, after what I witnessed before at the hands of those Exomachines, I knew it was possible for many if not most of the scary dudes on the enemy side to shield themselves and survive this attack.

The second method wasn’t bad actually. My exploding bones were really a killer! I doubted any of the enemies here would withstand any of such attacks.

But there was a catch here, I should drop any idea of taking loot back from these dudes. Not a single bone or gear would be left after such a brutal attack. And that would be considered a big loss to me.

I could wipe out an army and would accept such loss, but wouldn’t take the loss of the entire world being dealt in such a way.

After all, the method I’d select here would be considered the standard way to control this world, and other worlds that I haven’t explored yet.
