I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 119 The Unexpected Slow Progress

So when my warriors hit hard over their doors, their reaction was sluggish. I could see my warriors swarm inside the castle, killing many illusionists inside out of surprise.

But just before I arrived there, the illusionists started to react. I could see that silver gate over the castle shine brighter as more troops were deployed from the world beyond that gate.

Of course that wasn’t the only threat to my plan. Don’t forget I was bringing a large number of monsters and races towards their direction, and not far behind that hellish gigantic monster was hot on our tail.

The jumper could see through all this and so he called this a risky plan. Indeed it was risky, and I accepted such risk without hesitation.

At such a point in this battle, if I leant towards safety then I would never be able to achieve what I wanted here.

My plan didn’t just depend on the surprise element of this attack, but on other parts as well. If I just thought that my warriors would be enough to crush that castle, then I’d be greatly underestimating the enemy.

My main plan was to turn whatever method they used to become useless! Illusionists weren’t a strong one on one race, in terms of strength in specific.

Their main weapon was their ability to stealth themselves. But when there were an army of illusionists working for me and soulers who could be called the nemesis of such a race, then things wouldn’t become that easy for them to handle.

And then they would be forced to call races that were fighting under their command. That would turn the entire castle into a hot spot in the eyes of the gigantic monster behind. Not to mention I was planning to drag this fight until it arrived at the castle.

Then I’d let the monster deal with those illusionists and I’d call all my troops back and retreat as fast as possible.

This plan was perfect, provided that my forces would hold their ground until I arrived. Also I risked the possibility of my enemy having a great hidden weapon just like the godly tear or that godly distortion item.

It was a risk, but even if bad things happened, I’d only come out with losses in my entire warrior forces, nothing more.

I’d win this battle, this was sitting in stone already and couldn’t be changed no matter what my enemy did.

And who said I didn’t have my own ultimate weapon to use if things went wrong by any chance?

“Get ready,” as the smashed doors of that castle became closer, I said to the jumper, “you’ll jump and lead the forces on the ground.”

“What about you?” he asked, “staying behind and hiding in here?”

“A general must act like one,” I rolled my eyes before adding, “and who said the fight is limited only inside the castle?”

The jumper turned to watch the great number of enemies coming as fast as they could from behind. During the five laps, their number diminished by an obvious margin.

Yet they still had a great number of thousands of monsters. Not to mention the great behemoth running behind them blocking the horizon in my sight.

“Be careful,” in a rare moment he showed his care about me. I smiled and looked at him as he jumped off and landed directly inside the castle.

As he started fighting, it was finally my turn to fight as well.

“It’s time to summon a few dragons,” as I was running all this time, I didn’t move my eyes off the enemies chasing us. I noticed they were all formed of ground troops, with not a single flying monster or race in them.

So when considering my plus hundred thousand souls, I could instantly summon twenty dragons to my aid.

The only problem I got was their levels and stats. I wasn’t ready to raise their levels by my stats at this point.

After all, I was preparing to defend against any sudden interruption from my enemies. So my stats were off limits here. And that made me decide to summon twenty dragons at one go.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Twenty roars erupted from the twenty dragons summoned using my class unique ability. I didn’t hustle and simply pointed at the direction of the incoming thousand of enemies and said one simple order:

“Kill them all!”

*Roar!*

The dragons soared high in the air and instantly headed towards the fast approaching enemies. “Unleash hell,” I didn’t only send my dragons at them, but also ordered my Gollems to start acting at once.

The dragons I summoned couldn’t be compared with my four mighty dragons. They were smaller in size, emitted weaker air, and they could only use their basic breath attack.

Yet twenty flying killers without any nemesis on the ground was enough to cause enough devastation in the lines of my enemies.

Coupled with the roaring arrows that exploded once they touched the ground, the enemies were already put in a deadly situation.

After all, their advance was halted by my attack. Once they stopped there, they became easy targets for the dreadful monster.

“Come back!” After just a few minutes, the monster was already on their heads. I didn’t hesitate to call back my dragons, fearing they might get entangled in the crossfire.

And then I witnessed the true horror of that monster with my two eyes!

*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*

All I saw was that single head arching towards the sky and roared a silent one. I didn’t know if it roared in a frequency that I couldn’t hear or if it used another way to launch its attack.

But the next moment I saw the entire dark red sky shine brightly over my head. Then without warning, large burning meteorites came raining down over an entire area spanning across an entire mile.

Damn! This was something I never expected!

Without waiting for those messengers of death to descend, I moved my chariot fast and instantly activated the fully powered form.

Hitting the illusionists inside the castle wasn’t a priority now. Without needing to say anything, I saw the jumper running towards my direction while I threw the rope next to me over to him.

And I summoned all my warriors back while sending an urgent message to the illusionists to come back at once.

There was no time to fight anymore. That deadly attack was so severe enough to kill anything it touched. Only my chariot would withstand it, using its strong shield.

As the first wave of the burning rocks fell over the ground, all I could see was flashes of bright red light followed by a violent gush of hot wind slamming everywhere around, smashing even the remaining buildings in an area exceeding three miles radius.

This wasn’t a simple attack, this was a mass destruction weapon! At this moment I realised that the monster wasn’t running after us out of its limited options to attack us.

If it wanted to hit us, it could. But for some reason it seemed more funny and amusing for it to play this game with us.

In its eyes we were rats, and he was the mighty cat that was able to kill us at any moment!

Also it seemed it didn’t forget the presence of the illusionists. Even with the distortion item used, that monster kept in its mind the illusionists and bidded it’s time till it found them.

And once they were found, it didn’t need to hold back anymore.

That wasn’t a simple tactic used by common monsters, it was something only intelligent races could do.

Dammit! I underestimate that deadly freak!

But if it thought it could kill me and my troops using this kind of attack then it would be mistaken!

Also it underestimates the true strength of the illusionists!

*Boom!*

Just as my warriors came back, the jumper was already climbing the chariot using the rope, and the illusionists were swarming my chariot to shelter, the first wave of burning rocks finally descended upon the castle and gate.

Yet they were stopped by a big shield that appeared out of thin air at such a distressing moment.

“He is here!” for the second time I saw that strong illusionist warlord youth standing just beneath the gate. He was on top of his flying monster that looked like a big eagle.

In his hands, he held a shining long rod that seemed to be the source of that shield. I watched my troops getting to safety while I noticed many illusionists taking shelter underneath the gate.

As my chariot stood erect to defend my forces, that gate seemed to do something similar to that.

“Huff… Huff… that was close… Huff.. Huff…” the jumper climbed to the deck at last while panting out of short breath. He seemed to be more scared and nervous than exhausted.

And he should feel that way. Just the scene alone was enough to prove how deadly that monster was.

But it wasn’t time to relax, not yet.

“What is that thing? A scale? A libra?” The jumper leant over the side of the chariot while watching me taking one treasure out of my inventory.

It was time to use my card. After all, my target finally appeared and this was the right moment to act.

“Just watch,” in fact I didn’t know how this thing would work, or would it really cause what was mentioned in its description or not. I didn’t like using things for the first time, especially when the result of its usage would determine winning from losing.

But I had no other option here. From all the things I had, this Libra was the only weapon I could use to turn the tide over my side.

[The Anubis god Libra: A scale to measure one’s soul. Grade white godly treasure. It’s rumoured to be used by the Anubis god himself back when he supervised the matters of humans on Earth.

Using it consumes one million coins each time. You select a target and after activating the Libra, you can weigh his soul. If he harbours ill intentions towards your race then he will be cursed for life. His stats will be permanently halved.

Every time he uses stat points to increase his stats he will need double the amount to raise a single point. His cultivation will be halved. His gear stats will be halved.

His life span will be halved. His following forces will have a temporarily halved effect in all stats for one hour. His contract bound forces will be cursed like the master. The curse can’t be blocked, elevated by anything except by using the same scale to undo it.

To undo the curse you’ll need to consume another million coins. It has a fixed chance of twenty percent to undo the curse of other gods with a price of ten million coins each time.

Can be upgraded under certain conditions. Requiring the help of Anubis god for that]

[Do you want to use the Anubis god Libra and weigh the soul of your enemy?]

[Warning: you need to select the enemy by either pointing at him or calling his name]

“Use it against that dude,” I pointed towards my enemy, “weigh his soul now!”

[One million coins are deducted]

[The Anubis god Libra is being activated]

[The weighing process is starting…]

[One percent in progress]

[Two percent in progress]

“Damn!” I cursed the moment I saw that slow metre moving slowly with each passing second. It was my first time using this thing, so I didn’t imagine it would take a long time to get activated.

But when I thought about the low price I paid in return for such a deadly curse, I found this logical.

“What’s wrong?” the jumper examined the black air coming from the Libra, “is it working? Is this the thing you got from that visit?”
