I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Well… He pushed his ability before to buy me valuable minutes. It was expected for him to not perform as well as before.

And now I had to work my best as well.

Alright bastard, I’d keep forcing you to kill your people non-stop.

I kept attacking, trapping him with my threads, while my first bone was gone. The next one was giving energy all the time, and I poured everything towards my technique.

It felt like I was acting as a conductor, a lively conductor that would connect energy from the bones to the technique threads.

As the battle ragged on, we both kept having big losses in everything. I grew aware that that dude was also spending energy to maintain his shield.

He was also paying a hefty price just like me. His losses at his elite forces after the first hour grew to be over half of their initial number.

And I didn’t stop coming at him.

But when his forces got smaller, it seemed he grew slightly restless and nervous. Just after ten minutes from the first hour, he committed his first mistake.

His forces were usually moving to be in a close distance from him. But at this moment for a reason, his forces failed to react in time.

This came as his island didn’t show its usual high speed, making my chariot close the distance fast and keep it inside the trap of my threads.

That made my threads come faster than before and got attached to many of his forces. He tried to react but as he did so, he got distracted.

My chariot kept closing the distance and my threads kept spreading without the need to totally control everyone. As seconds passed, he failed to keep up with the speed of my thread spread, ending up for few to get under my control at last.

“Kill him,” as I controlled almost a hundred, I gave the order almost instantly. If he was sluggish and got distracted, I couldn’t commit the same kind of mistake, right?

I didn’t even consider using them to attack the others. After all, if I did that, then the ruckus caused wouldn’t be as intense as when they’d target the big boss here.

Just aiming at the big boss with their weapons made the rest move in a hurry to defend him. That created more chances for my threads to infest other shadows, letting me create a much harder to control situation.

*Boom!*

Yet just as I was racing against time to get that bastard, a mighty explosion came from none other than the direction of that island.

“Ruthless… you are really a ruthless foe…” as I watched almost half of that island get separated under such a mighty explosion there, I knew this was the response that the bastard selected to cut off my current advantage.

Yet he was already within my grasp. Even if he got disposed of such forces in such a merciless and decisive way, throwing away almost two thirds of his remaining elite force, I’d still end up gaining the better side of this deal.

The elites he disposed of fell towards the ground. Yet using their suits, they managed to fall without much harm. But they failed to get free from my threads.

My energy threads were attaching themselves to their shadows like glue. No matter where they went, they’d always get attached to me.

And as they lost the support of their boss, it only took a few minutes before all of them got under my control.

“Go, kill all these Bulltors for me,” if I couldn’t use them to kill that bastard, at least I could buy time for my forces at the ground.

That was why even with such a ruthless move of his, I still ended up winning the bigger end of the stick here.

As for that island, or what remained of it, it was still struggling to get away from my clutches.

It got smaller in size, and that helped much in adding more speed to it. But the few minutes of disruption in that bastard’s side made me close up to it, making going away a much harder task than ever.

He tried to get away with all his abilities, tried to force me to slow down using everything he got on that island launched in my direction.

But in the end nothing worked. I wasn’t that idiot to just slow down and focus on defence. Even if I had to sustain damage, I’d keep pushing against him till the end.

My chariot’s shield wasn’t that weak either. So that part regarding me taking damage was out of the question.

He kept flying in circles, zigzagging lines, and even rising up and suddenly falling down… Nothing he tried worked.

As he got rid of such a large number of his forces infected with my threads, more started to get infected at a faster pace.

But this time he was more focused and kept the killing spree wild. For the next half an hour, we both stayed at such a stalemate until one side crumbled.

Of course it was his side, not mine.

After half an hour of this heated chase and fight, he again lost his focus for a minute or two. I didn’t know what went wrong with him until I realised it.

“The Libra… It’s active at last!”

During all this time, I was all focused by this chase and fight. I didn’t let anything distract me, nothing at all.

Even the system message announcing the finish of activation of the curse, I didn’t read it or even notice it until after such a long time.

And that explained why he lost his focus in the first place. And why he was losing it again.

It seemed he tried to struggle against my curse, but he couldn’t keep such resistance going for long.

As I knew this, I was more confident in my ability to crush him.
