I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 41 - Starting The Class Quest

Dealing with the dragon kid wasn't hard either. The Bulltor I had in waiting was one that would be able to kill him. But the main problem would be that Selvator.

His most deadly attack would be that silver pulse he just displayed now. I doubted this was his last usage for today for him, or else he wouldn't have hurriedly used it and instead blocked the dragon kid using his strength.

The Selvators didn't only use strength, but something called suppressive aura. They could force their powerful energy and force any opponent to yield and not move.

An immobile enemy was like a sitting duck waiting for slaughter. To make things worse, there wasn't a single race here in the market that could stand against such pressure.

The only thing that looked optimistic for me was that that youth wasn't that much stronger than me. Our stats were equal, and with that he would only depend on his own higher form of body and cultivation to suppress me.

I could sustain one or couple more attacks. If I recall correctly, then with his current progress he could only exert up to five times of this attack.

'Wait a minute…' I suddenly thought about something. I hurriedly opened the market and looked for any gear to negate the suppressive aura on the body.

'As expected… Even a white grade gear of such caliber costs a million coins… I can't buy it until the auction ends,' I thought while watching the short list that appeared in front of me.

There was a chest plate that could negate such ability, but it would only work once per day. That meant I had one more chance to sustain his attack. But what if he had one more? Would I be doomed?

'I hope I won't end up being with him,' I silently prayed. If the two of them, the dragon and the Selvator, ended together then it would be the optimal result for myself.

As I ended my preparations at the market, I checked how many stat points I had inside my inventory. I couldn't give the system bound stat points to any warrior I would summon. Unlike that I could use these stat points inside my inventory for that.

'The price of each stat point in the market should be around ten thousand coins… Tsk, those controlling the market are really something else.'

Even with the basic growth bundle that I bought, one stat point would cost only two thousand coins. But having those transferable stat points from the market would cost at least five folds. That was like a daylight theft.

But did I have a choice here? After all the number of stat points I had inside my inventory isn't that much. Only slightly above a hundred were there, and I needed two hundred and fifty at least.

Unlike those inside the apocalypse, those warriors weren't bound by shackles in their stats. So that Bulltor coupled with many stat points, he could raise in strength and levels. Once he leveled one level he would gain a skill. Once he exceeded level five a second skill would be opened.

But the third one required me to raise him over level fifteen. Something I couldn't do for now.

To raise a single level I needed to pour ten stat points in each stat he had. So one level would cost fifty stat points, five levels would take two hundred and fifty stat points.

I looked up at my inventory and back at my balance. I now have almost five hundred thousand coins, not even enough to purchase what I needed.

'I had to do it then,' I hardened my heart and started to sell some of the potions I had. These weren't like normal gears as they were considered extremely precious items.

[This basic health recovery potion can be auctioned. Do you want to auction it?]

I knew this was a unique item, but I had no time. I selected to sell it directly with the base price and got fifty thousand coins in return for each potion.

It might seem a lot, but compared to the practical value of these potions it was cheap. If I put them into auction, and considering the early stages of the apocalypse, I would get at least double if not triple that price.

'I need almost one hundred and fifty stat points… So I needed one more million coins… Tsk, goodbye twenty potions, I would rather use you than sell you like this.'

I sold twenty potions at one go and in return I bought back the missing stat points. Now I could raise my Bulltor to level five, unlocking two skills of his.

Coupled with that big sledgehammer I bought for him, I had already invested so much in that dude. It would be better for him to show off his worth, or else selling his body in pieces wouldn't be enough.

So far so good. Just as I finished all my preparations, only five minutes remained.

[Five minutes remains before starting the class quest]

[Please summon your warriors. Be aware that inside the labyrinth you won't be able to summon warriors freely. Cooldown time of three minutes is required]

I read the messages before feeling a bit hesitant. 'I can't summon either the Bulltor or that sneaky guy now,' I thought to myself while moving my eyes around.

If I summoned either of two, then I would alarm the others here. I should stay calm and wait until I start the quest. Then according to what would be my enemy inside I would react.

"Humph, my army is bigger than yours!" The dragon kid bloated his chest upward as his army of warriors was indeed the biggest so far.

The three in front of me summoned their warriors. As expected, they already prepared what they would summon.

But seeing this scene made my scalp numb! 'I thought they would be tough opponents, but this… daring to call a group of thirty low grade warriors a big army?' I inwardly snorted while resisting the urge to show a ridiculous smile on my face.

"Quantity doesn't matter, quality does," the Selvator responded in the same arrogance while patting on the shoulders of his seven elite warriors, "a single one of them is able to kill all of yours."

"Let's see if your actions are as capable as your words," the dragon kid got hyped up. In his eyes, there was no opponent here but that Selvator.

As for the succubus, she bought fifteen warriors. Ten of them held shields and acted like a giant wall with their big bodies in front of her.

The Succubus girl knew her weakness very well. She was like a magician, with weak defense and strong offense. So having ten of her warriors as tanks was a smart move.

The other five were all normal swordsmen and spearmen. So that meant at least three to five of those shield bearers were elites.

The cost for a single low grade warrior was around twenty to fifty stat points. The elites would cost around a hundred to five hundred points.

That meant the Selvator had roughly equal points as mine. But I could get more when I have the auctions finished.

Another one didn't summon anything, that hidden race contender. I knew he wouldn't do that stupid mistake. If he did, he would alarm others about his existence.

"Don't be hasty," the Succubus girl laughed in a sweet manner before looking in my direction, "won't you accept my offer? We all know humans didn't have any blessing yet. So why throw your life like this?"

I noticed the other two gazes fell upon me, one with ridicule and the other with an aggressive way. That Selvator, he might prove harder to kill inside the maze.

I knew this wasn't all they were able to summon. Not a sane person would get his trump cards exposed like this. So at least each one of them would summon an elite, but no one would be crazy enough like me to go directly for the Bulltor.

After all these warriors came with base stat of one point, no skills, and no gears. Just purchasing those gears would have cost them a bit of fortune.

But they were prepared, just like me.

[Get ready, the quest will start in five… Four… Three… Two… One…]

[The five participants will be moved now inside the labyrinth]

[The goal of the quest is to be the last surviving member to acquire a chance to get the class]

[Performance assessment will be done. You won't lose anything by dying here. But even winning doesn't mean you'll get the class. According to your performance, the grade of the class the winner will get will vary, or he might not have anything at all. Good luck contenders]

I looked in a daze towards the last message. It was something I didn't expect. Even if I finished the quest, I won't be able to get the class? No way!

"What the hell… Wait, how come there are five of us here?"

Just before the dragon kid would continue his words, he was teleported in a pillar of white light. Everyone else had the same amazement on their faces, but I rapidly scanned to find that hidden foe.

"You…" Just as I looked all around, I was shocked to see him just standing next to me. Only less than a meter separated me and him. I was so shocked and under the bathing light I managed to finally see his face.

Or hers!

She was a young girl, looking very alluring and stunning. However she had a pair of wide elliptical eyes that were covered in dark cover like sunglasses. I noticed her hair which was arranged in a thin and spiky curve. It was this race as I expected, the illusionists!

This race was one of the deadliest, especially at such early stages of the apocalypse. She could simply make anyone fall under her innate skill of illusion with a snap of her fingers.

As I saw her, she was also eyeing me with her wide and weird looking eyes.

"You look interesting," her soft voice came like a melody to my ears, "I'll come for you to have a little chat. Don't die early on for me, ok?"

I felt my entire soul shudder and at this moment, I was almost so close to summoning that warrior I had in mind. However, the moment the scenery changed, I saw someone standing tens of meters away from me.

The succubus girl! My luck wasn't that bad after all.

"Oh, we got to meet again," the moment she saw me she felt much at ease, "now as we are finally together, why not submitting to me and be my slave?"

She gave me such a smile that wasn't a smile at all.

[The auctions have ended. You got five million seven hundred and sixty-two thousand coins]

"Wow, I got so much," unlike what she expected, I was totally acting cool and collected. She narrowed her eyes while I started to open my market and looked at my long list of warriors.

"What are you doing?" she said while crossing her arms in front of her chest. But her tone betrayed her and I noticed the nervousness in her tone.

"Sorry, but I submit to no one," I answered in a domineering tone before my finger pressed over the icon of the Bulltor warrior, "if you want, I won't mind having such a good asset under me."

"You…" her face flushed red out of anger but the next moment her face turned ashen white. Her eyes went all wide while her body shivered in no stop.

"This… A Bulltor… How… How come you…" she looked at the giant warrior who appeared like a small hill next to me with shock and fear.

"I see you recognized my little friend here," I casually strolled a few steps forward before adding, "but I'm not done yet."

*Woosh!* *Woosh!* *Woosh!*

With a simple wave of my hand, I took out the giant sledgehammer and all the stat points I purchased for this little fellow here and let him have them.

"Thanks master," his strong looking dull face showed a smile that gave me creep thoughts when I saw it. He instantly wielded the hammer, used the stat points before five flashes of light flashed over him.

And the instant he did all this, his vibe totally changed and emitted such a brutal and domineering air.

"This… This… Leve five Bulltor… Level five… No f*cking way!!!" the poor succubus girl had all her body soaked in sweat and shook violently while she unconsciously retreated backwards with each step I took at her.

Just before I could cross half the distance, her warriors pointed their weapons towards me.

"C'mon, don't be like this," I calmly said as if I wasn't threatened by fifteen warriors here. I even waved at the warriors like I was teasing them.

"What do you think? Wanna follow me and keep your life intact?" I smiled, a smile that wasn't a smile at all.
