I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 43 - These Aren't For Sale

I sensed a hesitation in her. Of course she had to feel that way. I knew how hard it was to achieve the ultimate goal she had in her mind.

*Zip*

Just as if she cut off a sticker, she used some sort of power to remove my contract.

"I'll need more than just words to prove your worth to me," her voice came as if she had a plan for the two of us. "See you later."

*Clang!*

My sword hit the ground before I felt like something melted away. I wasn't seeing things but my shadow vibrated for a second before it turned a little pale. My spear lost any contact with her body, while I turned around to check if she used any sort of a gear or a hidden technique I didn't know about to escape.

"Just remember," before I could check all around, her voice came and this time it was from one direction, the sky. "I'll be at the first golden quest. If I didn't find you there, then forget about this deal between us."

*Woosh!*

It was like a gale of wind came and swept away a thick layer of dust. I stood in daze while a message popped up in front of my eyes.

[A contender has been eliminated]

"This…" I stood in daze while Rachel came and stood by my side.

"What was that all about?" she asked and that was exactly what I had in my mind.

'Wait a sec… Could it be…' A possibility suddenly arose when I had a wild thought. When I realized it, I raised my head and laughed in delight.

"Humph, as if you know what just happened," Rachel seemed upset from not answering her. But what could I tell her? This girl wasn't just an evolution, but also a reincarnation?

It wasn't uncommon for the illusionist to reincarnate. After all, they would die faster than anyone if they faced an enemy like me. They got a crushing advantage in the early stages of this game. But later on, many things would appear to limit their abilities.

Plus a growing orientation about their presence would make their lives here in danger. A reincarnated illusionist would have a unique ability to form shadows. After all this would be the reward of going into the cruel wheel of reincarnation.

The one I met just now wasn't the real illusionist, it was her shadow. She decided to sacrifice it in return for escaping here. She even dumped her chance to get that skill just to stay unrestricted by me.

As for the contract? She had zero intention of following me in the first place. But as I managed to trap her once, the next time I'd be more careful and thoroughly prepared.

'The golden quest, huh?' I looked at the bright sky and the twin stars shining over this world of the quest before turning to Rachel.

"Now all we need is to wait for one of these two berserkers to kill the other," I said to her before I pointed to my Bulltor to come.

"We are going to do nothing?" she seemed a bit startled by my words.

"You can feel them, right?" I pointed upwards, just above the twenty meters tall walls lining the labyrinth here. Two pillars of light kept rising from time to time while the sounds of their clashes echoed even from such far distances.

"They are coming to each one's throat. Why should we interrupt them?" I shrugged before watching my Bulltor in content, "let them be. One enemy down means one less formidable opponent to kill."

I could feel the curious gazes of Rachel falling over me. "Which one of the two do you want to fight?" she asked as if she realized how knowledgeable I was.

"If I have to pick," I turned my gaze towards the two pillars in the distance, "I'd rather fight the dragon over that Selvator."

"I'm curious though," she moved to block my vision and force me to look at her face. She was really a piece of art! A brilliant work done by someone loving perfection and beauty.

Not a speck of flaw was there on her face, nothing at all! Even her long eyelashes curved in a mysterious way to give her a more sexy appearance.

"If we had to fight one on one, without any warriors, could you perhaps win over me?"

Her stunning eyes looked like a bottomless ocean. I resisted the urge to just take her by force at this moment. She looked so adorable while acting this cute.

"Do you know what this is?" I pointed to the pendant I was wearing. Her eyes looked in curiosity at it like she didn't know what it was.

"Just open your market and look for the heart shield pendant," I said just to let her stop nagging me for now.

My plans had to change. I planned everything to stop the illusionist and take control over this sexy succubus. I managed to turn the girl into my loyal follower, and that illusionist ran away.

I grabbed the contract she threw off my spear and stored it inside my inventory. It cost me five hundred thousand coins just for this mere piece of paper, the only loss I took for defeating such a scary opponent.

But I wasn't regretting it. At least I didn't spend the hundred stat points to buy that useless warrior.

It wasn't effective against anything but illusions anyway. So now I saved my points and took a small loss. And now I had to readjust my entire strategy.

"No way! You had that thing around your neck?" The scream that came from Rachel was loud enough to scare all my thoughts away. I turned towards her in anger but her childish face and reaction calmed me down.

She was like a kid, jumping in the air and stomping her feet in disbelief. Her eyes were sparkling while looking at me in such eagerness to hear the answer.

"Do you think I came here to play around?" I scoffed before adding in a boasting way, "I planned everything. Even if I met that Selvator, I wouldn't be powerless against him either."

"But you can't kill him," she winked in her usual lewd personality. I could only bitterly smile as she had a point here.

But wait… I still could buy gear to help me here.

"Luckily for you my skill is at copper grade," she crossed her arms and that made her chest seem a bit bigger than usual, "if not then you wouldn't be able to face me head on."

I simply smiled and then opened my market. I needed to find that chestplate. Without further ado I bought four of them.

"Here, wear this," I threw one over to my Bulltor while wearing the other one.

"What about me?" Rachel saw the two chest plates in my hands. She seemed to put more hopes on my support. However I didn't intend to give one to her.

"You can go to the market and buy it yourself," I frankly said, "I bet you have enough coins to purchase a dozen of these."

"You…" she pointed at me with red cheeks that looked like two apples. She was the type to have her cheeks swelling up whenever she made any expression. "You have two here, why not give one to me?"

"Sorry, these two are taken," I shrugged as if this was something out of my hand.

"By whom?"

"By this one," I selected another warrior to summon and the next instant another Bulltor appeared out of thin air.

*Bang!*

His heavy body crashed over the ground and made Rachel panic. "Not only one, but… Two? How many blessing points do you have?"

"And also this one…"

I looked up at her in pity. I simply snapped a finger as if I was a magician and a third one appeared next to me.

"..."

She opened her mouth agape and I couldn't help but grin.

"C'mon, do you think your master is someone weak or something?" I enjoyed this moment of glory the longest I could.

"But… wait a minute, I know humans don't have a blessing from gods at this point. How can you… who are you?"

She looked warily at me like she was the human and I was the monster here. Her tail swayed right and left, exposing her inner excitement to my eyes.

"I won't tell," I tucked out my tongue in a teasing way before I turned to the two newly summoned Bulltors here.

Now I needed an extravagant amount of coins to make these two just like the first one I summoned.

The problem with that Selvator was that his skill wouldn't only affect me alone. So my main concern was his seven elite warriors who he just summoned before the quest.

He could use his energy to suppress me, Rachel, my Bulltor, and Rachel's warriors while sending his minions to kill all of us.

Yeah I could defend against one attack of his, but what about the others? Facing seven elite warriors wasn't a joke.

So I needed to summon more Bulltors here to make sure they'd get rid of those warriors fast. If it was only the Selvator remaining, then he mostly could kill one Bulltor each time he used that annoying skill of his.

And with the chest plates I gave to them, they had a chance to negate one attack. So hopefully that dragon would do his role and exhaust one more attack from that Selvator.

But now the problem of making the other two be as strong as the first one became impossible for me. I still had stat points left, but I couldn't transfer them to any of the two.

"How many coins do you have?" I suddenly turned to her and asked.

"I won't give you anything," she pouted her lips in frustration. "You refused to even give me one chest plate, humph."

"Alright," I removed the pendant from my neck, "take this as a token of our friendship then."

She looked at the pendant in my hand and despite the desire in her eyes, she turned her face away and even gave me her back. This girl… she was acting as a little girl, literally.

"C'mon, I need to raise the strength of my two Bulltors here," I said in an attempt to soften her heart towards me, "don't you want us to crush that Selvator and win this class?"

"Humph, you are the one winning it, not me," she still refused to help, "but if you told me how you managed to buy these two Bulltors, then I can summon a few to help."

I looked up at her and couldn't help but laugh. "It's something only I can do."

"Why is that?" she even stomped her feet on the ground. I couldn't help but gulp when I saw her smooth like jade skin. She was crazily beautiful and without a single flaw, a deadly weapon made against poor humans like myself.

"Forget about having even a single bite of this," she noticed my fiery gazes upon her body and was shameless enough to touch her body in a slow way. I couldn't look at her anymore and shifted my eyes away from her towards the ongoing battle at the distance.

"Won't tell me your secret then?" she probed and I shook my head.

"It's just some sort of adjustment the system made for me lacking the blessing points," I mysteriously said without delving into any more details. "Now, give me ten million coins."

"What the f*ck?! Do you think I've robbed a bank or something before coming here?"

I couldn't prevent myself from laughing. "I know you don't have the coins, but you have precious gears and items. You can easily get tens of millions of coins if you sell a small part of your riches."

"These aren't for sale! No way!" She hugged herself like she was protecting her body from me.. What did she think I was talking about? That girl… Tsk.
