I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1099 The Den Of Bones

This… I didn't hesitate to summon my chariot, rose high in the air and took a grander look.

"A forest of bones? And it's stretched out for tens of miles all around? Wow!"

That part of the continent here turned all black. Soil vanished and ground now was made out of thick layers of bones that came on top of each other, forming a very dense and complicated net.

I looked at the place where all this started. The technique was now hidden under layers upon layers of bones, but its black lustre could still be spotted inside.

It was still working, and it was still providing energy to the deans of bone artefact.

Wasn't it supposed to build an entire world with bones? Or did it decide to take a new form?

Being baffled and pleasantly surprised, I started to take a grand tour around.

Previously the bones covered an area of tens of miles. I estimated from the look of the forest that the magical artefact ditched the idea of growing horizontally and started to grow vertically.

But soon enough I knew I underestimated this artefact.

The size of bones expanding on the ground already exceeded hundreds of miles. The forest of bones alone covered an area double the area I last seen before starting my cultivation.

What the heck was wrong with this artefact? Was it going to turn this entire continent into a world of bones?

And how long exactly did I take in my first cultivation session?

As I lacked any clues for an answer, I asked Lily through a direct message. And the answer was quite shocking.

[You disappeared for almost five months now. Don't tell me you didn't even realise time was passing!]

Wow! Five entire months? Wait, was that thanks for the trial? Or did time flow that fast inside that special world?

At least I got the answer to all these shocking changes from the dens of bones.

I then returned back and didn't hurry to resume my training again. I first activated the turbo mode of my class again and started absorbing the bones from the forest around.

Just seeing all these flashing dots racing up at me at a very fast pace made me grin. This was effective indeed. It wasn't just going to give me a way to train in shadow world energy, it was also providing an endless supply of bones.

After a few minutes I stopped and checked the status of one bone.

It was black grade to begin with, and it was slightly similar to the dark realm monster bones I got before. Yet the energy inside it was much thicker and higher in purity and quantity than similar black grade dark realm bones.

"Hmm… Despite it being one of the main sources of bones in the future, it's still hard to use these bones in any external trade…"

I knew these bones came from turning the endless dark shadow energy into bones. It was like forming them out of thin air.

It was a process that'd take a long time, but it was worth it indeed.

Just… The bones were all like dark realm monster bones, not like any normal bones. I didn't start trading with these dark realm monster bones before.

First I got a really small amount of them. And I planned to use them before to raise up my cultivation base. Lastly, I knew the value of each bone would be much greater than the bones I normally used in any trade before.

In addition to that, by using the way I learnt, I could turn any of such bone into a deadly bomb.

The scene of raging wildfire ocean out of my necromancer's world was still vivid in my eyes.

It wasn't something that I could easily forget. And I planned to widely use these when attacking the strong forces of Hescos later on.

So these bones held greater importance for me at the moment. However as I grew used to this, the value of bones was just like any other currency, and would depreciate with the passage of time and with further deals being done.

Even if I got sceptical about using them for now, I was sure I'd depend entirely on them at some point. And that was when the true value of this den would kick in and shine.

Preparing such a priceless treasure trove of bones in such an early stage was something I had to admit was related more to luck.

In fact, in every challenge and hard encounter, great things were destined to happen if I kept facing such challenges with ironclad will.

After checking and making sure these bones were special, I started to test another thing. I laid my hand over the ground and kept absorbing the bones in turbo mode for almost half a day.

Then I stopped, took my chariot and started a great flight again. I wanted to check the impact of using my absorption ability over the growth of this den of bones.

"Not bad… Almost lost one percent only… And the loss only came from the outer zone, not touching or affecting the forest of bones at all…"

After taking a slow tour around for a few hours I came to this conclusion. Only a small area got cleared out of bones, showing the underneath normal ground.

This wasn't because my absorption ability was weak, but it seemed the technique grew a tacit understanding and strong mutual relation with the dens of bones.

It provided strong input of energy, enough to make up for most of my absorption ability. That was great, as it meant after waiting for two more years, this place would turn into a real treasure trove for me.

And who knew, this technique might grow even bolder and increase the output of energy to a scary degree.

I spent half a year training here, and I still have two more years ahead of me. After checking on all the changes and facts about my artefact, I started to check my energy.

My cultivation base gained a high leap in strength, jumping from big base one to big base two. I didn't know what my current rank was, but it should be at least one or two at least.
