I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1584 Tell Me Everything

?

"Stay away from me! You can't touch me! My father will kill all of you! Stop it…"

And just after I said this, all of them started to attack. They all targeted that jerk, and Hulk screamed like a pussy before he fell under the deadly attacks of them.

And like this the chapter of the leader of the Hescos forces here ended, in quite a tragic and most bitter way.

He didn't fall in a glorious battle, didn't fall on the hands of his sworn enemies, but on the hands of his people.

What a bad, terribly bad end this man got. But he deserved it, and I hoped I'd never get such an end one day.

It was better for me to fall into the hands of my enemies, fighting a scary and terrifying war, while trying to defend my kingdom and universe.

This was the most heroic fate I'd dream of, any proper fighter would dream of.

I watched this pathetic Hulk fall on the hands of his people. It wasn't a surprise that after his death, the shield that surrounded all of them vanished.

I already gave my orders for my warriors to stop attacking this bubble the moment I stepped up to talk to the people inside.

"Lord, we salute you," they all knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, while extending a weird ring.

"Sign these contracts first," I spread over contracts, "is this the ring that brought such shields up?"

"Yes lord," one answered, "it's a high grade artefact that can form an eternal shield."

"Eternal shield? Interesting," I got the ring and inspected its content. As this dude said, this was a high grade artefact, one that could form a shield that could last forever.

In essence, it was like the shields formed by my pillar, able to last forever. But this one didn't absorb any energy, and didn't have any risk of getting crushed.

It was a shield that could appear and stay there till the end of time. It couldn't be broken down, no matter how hard the enemy was, no matter how damaged it suffered.

That made me realise I got a bit lucky here. And now I understood part of Hulk's earlier arrogant attitude and weird confidence.

He seemed to see himself standing here, without the risk of losing his life. But that dude missed a simple and yet crucial thing here.

This war wasn't going to be won by whoever would survive the longest! Standing just in place without doing anything wasn't by any means a heroic or great deed.

That was part of the reasons why Hulk lost the trust of his people. Not to mention the deep grudges these folks held towards their race in the first place. Adding everything up resulted in that dude's pathetic fate.

He got a shield that could protect himself from any danger, external but not internal.

He'd never expected that the ones he took with and entrapped inside this prison-like shield were the ones who were going to end his life.

The shield was indeed quite scary and useful, but it had many limitations.

First the area it covered was already too little to begin with, enough only to surround half a mile radius at most. That wasn't enough to surround and protect my forces, not enough to let the ring replace my pillar in the first place.

And there was another weak point about this. Once used, it couldn't be mobilised! And that meant once I used the ring, the shield it'd form was going to stay in its place until I'd say otherwise.

That was… one of the most terrible points of any shield in my eyes. Of course my pillar shields were also the same, but at least they covered tens of miles and could even cover up hundreds, even thousands, as they could grow by adding my shields to them.

But this ring's shield couldn't do any of that. And as it was mainly designed for personal use, as some sort of personal protective shield, it got the worst feature of all.

Unlike my chariot's shield, the one that could move around with me and travel at high speed, this one here couldn't. And even if I stood on the chariot and moved, not by myself but by my chariot, the shield wouldn't follow me around and would stick in its place, letting me get out from it.

But it wasn't that useless. At some point, I might face a terrible danger, and would need a place to hide and think about my next move. Or I could let it shield me inside, while I'd use my staff and leave that place to another safer spot.

It was useful, but not that useful as a high grade artefact or something.

"Lord, what shall we do now?" as they signed my loyalty contracts, they now were mine.

"Well, let's first speak about your plans," I paused, "I mean your race plans about this world."

"Sure," and against what I expected, not a single one of them even hesitated and they all started to speak about the Hescos plans.

As I guessed it before, the Hescos used their relation with the system higher ups and secured themselves a detailed map of this world. It wasn't like the one I got from the higher up before, but one that got every single place of the races and enemies marked on it.

I was surprised to hear about the existence of such a map. It was so damn detailed to even update itself about the location of anyone over it once per hour.

That was how they managed to spot me before. In fact, they were tracking everyone in this world, knowing what each force was doing, and even assessing their progress.

From their words I got to learn that Hulk wasn't the general leader as he claimed before, not the one who was going to be assigned as a king of this world after the end of this war.
