I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 317 The Lord Of Death, Ed

“I received many useless and silly videos from you… What? Do you feel so excited like a little kid learning how to walk for the first time? Do you think you are special because you kicked one archlord’s ass here and there? Humph, you are nothing but a delusional loser in my eyes.”

“You…” unconsciously I clenched both fists out of anger. That bastard… Did he waste one valuable heroic calling usage just to mock me?

What did you do to our race? Huh? Speaking high and mighty like you are my benefactor! If I’m a loser then you are no more than a beggar in my eyes!

“I’m fed up with those losers thinking high of themselves for achieving something I already did a long time ago. So I’m here to issue a challenge, and in it I’m intending to show no mercy to you at all.”

I knew he wasn’t the kind of person to consider mercy to anyone. He was even called a nightmare for all living beings, including humans as well.

A cold heart with no speck of mercy towards anything, that was him. I looked at those pale brown eyes, and waited to hear what that bastard wanted to say next.

“I’m also in the US, active in the western regions. I know you are trying your best at the eastern coast. So I’ll give you an offer, limited by the time of our next meeting. If you didn’t give me an answer by then, I’ll consider you refusing my kindness and that means… War!”

War? Dude… You were in California. If I wasn’t wrong, then before quest twenty, you wouldn’t step yet into the mid zone of the former US continent.

“You might think it’s impossible for the two of us to meet, but as your senior I’ll have to slap you on the face and wake you up. At the fifth quest, there will be a chance to have something called the golden quests. I’ll get that for sure, and if you are as strong as you claim, then you might have a chance in getting it.”

“Might I have a chance? What an arrogant bastard you are!!”

“I’ll wait for you there. If you decided to be sane and learnt your true place, then I’ll warmly welcome you in my forces. If not, then I’ll show you the real meaning of being strong.”

I looked up at his face, our eyes seemingly breaking through all the shackles of space and looking directly at each other. “I’ll wait for you there, either as a subordinate or a foe… But a word of warning… All my foes are lying dead, with no exception till this point. See you later… Foolish and delusional Hye.”

*Flash!*

The screen turned all black again and remained there for a few minutes before fading out. Even after that bastard’s face was gone, and even after the disappearance of that screen, I kept looking in the same direction as if I was looking at his eyes.

“So you took the trouble of using one of the heroic calls to just say these useless things to me? Pathetic!” I snorted, waved my glaive in the air before adding, as if he was standing in front of me:

“If you are this capable, then I’d love to see how you’ll follow all these impressive words with deeds. I know you are strong and vicious, merciless towards your enemies and very ambitious. But that didn’t happen this early. Compared to me…”

I looked around, looking at all the things I was doing here. I moved my eyes across the brilliant minds working down there for me, at my large army of warriors, at my much larger forces of humans scattered all over the city…

If he dared to consider himself a mighty person, then I’d call myself a paragon!

[Hahaha! At last! You finally met someone who is more shameless than you! Hahahaha! I can’t believe that, hahaha!]

Just while I was feeling very irritated by that bastard, a message from the jumper popped up in front of my face.

That bastard… he was still in the mood to mock me!

[At least we are two hegemons clashing at each other. What about you? A mere jumper with nothing in his hand to do anything but watch]

[You… Do you want to die?]

[Hahaha! At least I won’t fall on your hands, neither on that bastard’s!]

[Boss… Boss… what are you going to do? He looks fierce! Have you seen his scar! Damn! It’s more impressive and terrifying than mine!]

The next was the spearhead. That lunatic only cared about that scar and wasn’t that much interested in anything else.

[Save your breaths and come here after you finish. I’m waiting at the MIT main campus, just near the river separating Boston from Cambridge cities]

They kept sending messages containing all kinds of questions, awe, and fear. I didn’t want to talk with anyone right now. So I took an excuse of their current task and sent them all away for now.

All but one…

[Don’t tell me you don’t know who he is, right?] It was Hilary, and she kept her silence until all finished speaking and went to do their tasks. [I’m coming for you right now]

[Why not wait for others?]

[Afraid of your little girl? She is harmless, so stop worrying like that. I promise, I will eat you gently]

I closed her chat with a sneer. It wasn’t time for me to think about any of that. As she said, this person was someone not to be taken lightly.

After all under all these conditions, he was one of the three who established kingdoms at my time. Someone like him wasn’t easy, not easy at all!

Aside from his infamous reputation, he was someone worthy of admiration. Just standing alone in the face of all the races here and managing to stabilise himself and build an entire kingdom for us was a remarkable feat.

A feat that not a simple minded person or weak one would make. But that didn’t mean I was weak or a loser compared to him.
