I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 45 - A Deadly Encounter

I didn't see this move coming. But if they thought this was enough to take me down, then I beg to differ.

I could already see through what happened and what they planned to do. The fifth hidden contender seemed to get on their nerves. So the moment they appeared here, the Selvator must have proposed this temporary alliance.

The Selvator was so sure of his supremacy over the dragon. And the dragon was arrogant enough to think he could best the Selvator.

Their little show here aimed to lure out that hidden enemy. Even when they got the memo of one of us getting eliminated, they never thought of it to be that hidden enemy.

So now they had done all this for just the two of us. In the dragon kid's eyes, we were nothing. But the Selvator seemed to be wary of me for some reason.

If I was him, I would definitely shift my gaze towards the dragon. It was the perfect moment to get rid of that strong foe with the least losses.

"Just wait for me, I won't kill you fast, ka ka ka," the dragon youth laughed in a strange way. His eyes were burning with desire when he looked at the sexy body of Rachel.

If it was him alone, I could have used many ways to get rid of him. But that Selvator was like a thorn in my back. I could already see what was going to happen as if I had the foresight ability.

The Selvator would send out the dragon first with all warriors. Standing from the back he would use his scary ability if I fought back.

Considering the fact that he didn't use his ability yet, he still had two to three times left.

My armor could defend me for one time. Even if I summoned my Bullets, they wouldn't help either. I could get the dragon for sure, but that would be like making a big favor for the Selvator.

No, I shouldn't do that. I started to have a plan and instantly turned to Rachel.

"How many coins do you have now?"

This time I didn't need to explain things to her. She realized how dangerous our situation was.

"Only a couple of millions," she said in ashened face, "will they help?"

"I need an item then," of course they wouldn't do anything here, "worth ten million at least. Do you have one?"

She didn't answer in words but actions. A grand shield appeared that was so big enough to suit one of my Bulltors. It emanated dangerous green energy like fog, as if it was boiling from the inside.

"It's the highest grade item I have," she gave it to me without hesitation. "Take it."

"Then you shall take this as well," I gave her something in return before bowing my head and adding in a loud tone:

"Thanks my lady for your generosity and care."

I could see her baffled expression but luckily she didn't say anything. She held the item I gave her and examined it. The moment she saw it, her face changed for the second time.

"This…"

"Listen," I hurriedly whispered while retreating slowly as the dragon led all the warriors towards us, "we'll do this…"

I whispered the short version of my plan to her, hoping that her mind would be smart enough to link all the dots. My eyes weren't on the dragon kid or at any warrior, I was only gazing up at the Selvator like he was staring back at me.

If I needed to get rid of these two here, I had to remove that suspicion of him away from myself first.

She took the lead while I started to retreat to the back. The shield was so heavy but I didn't hurry to store it fast.

[Warning: The minimal conditions for wielding the sacred shield of love is two thousand strength points. Store it in ten seconds or else it will break your hands!]

'Two thousand strength points… What the f*ck is wrong with that shield?!!' I sucked in the cold air of breath while eyeing this shield with greed. I tried to view its details but a message popped up and blocked my attempts.

[Your level and stats are far below the minimum requirements to view the shield details]

Damn! I couldn't even view its stats! I felt great hesitation to sell it in the market like this. C'mon, I doubt I would be able to get my hands on such a shield in my entire life again!

*Tuck!*

Just before I was about to ask Rachel to send me another item to sell and keep that shield for myself, an invisible pressure suddenly descended with a woosh and made me stumble on the ground.

'Is it starting?' I turned around in a fright but I was able to move. The Selvator released a wave of energy around that made even his hair flutter in the air.

'Not that scary attack… then this must be…' I stood up and then stored the shield away. Its presence already caused the desired effects as the dragon looked in wary towards Rachel.

Yes, he didn't put me in the eye from the start. Besides the shield came from Rachel. So anyone could imagine what tricks she was hiding behind her flawless beauty.

As for that Selvator, the skill he used was a spying skill. Even if I tried to use the secret channel of my contract with Rachel, he would be able to detect that.

It was best to not arouse his suspicions more. So I threw the shield inside the market to be faced with another annoying message.

[The base price is twenty million coins. Do you want to auction it?]

Oh dear lord! I didn't even want to sell it, and now I wanted to auction it but I couldn't. I had to get my hands on another item from Rachel, something on par with this shield to feel satisfied.

"I won't let you come closer," Rachel's voice was loud but no matter how hard she tried, she looked cute. The dragon couldn't help but drool over her even when she was threatening him.

*Flash!* *Flash!* *Flash!*

She summoned her warriors. As expected, she was also hiding a few blessing points for later use.

In front of her twenty-five warriors holding shields appeared in three rows. They raised their shields high while Rachel shouted:

"The grand fist slams the earth!"

Even I had to stop what I was doing and look at her in amazement. This wasn't something that could be done by a single warrior, twenty at least were needed.

And these twenty must have that skill to use. It was supposed to be a defensive skill initially, however from the mighty power of it many considered it as deadly as any offensive skill.

The shields rose higher and they gathered a dangerous aura around. The aura of each shield merged with another, forming a thick broad shield phantom that covered the three rows.

'Good girl,' I couldn't help but commend her on this. I asked her to do anything and force that Selvator boy to use his ultimate weapon.

And now with this skill, the dragon wouldn't be able to contend alone against her. The Selvator had to act.

"Help me now! Hurry!" the dragon youth's face ashened the moment he heard Rachel's words. This skill was famous in any world, and the dragon knew he wouldn't be able to escape from it unscathed.

He wouldn't actually die, but he would be left with deep wounds behind. That meant the final trophy would lie in the hands of the Selvator. And it was something even the arrogant dragon couldn't dare to ignore.

"Leave it to me," the Selvator finally had his attention over Rachel. The look on his face was a mix of surprise and doubt. Sure enough, even I was surprised by her performance dude.

*Rumble*

Just like before, the energy surged out from the Selvator body which started to shine brightly like a star. I feigned a look of fear and screamed at her:

"Master, help me!"

"Don't get near my boy," Rachel's angry tone roared while she ran fast towards me. At this moment the world around us bathed under the immense and domineering aura of that Selvator.

His skill was really powerful. In less than a few seconds his energy reached my place and suppressed me.

I lost all the control over my body. I couldn't move. My body stiffened while Rachel's wasn't.

The moment she got near me she raised her leg and pushed me backwards with a kick. I didn't know why but she raised her leg higher than usual, and let me see a great deal of her lower half.

*Bang!*

I slammed at the wall nearby while feeling all the pain.

"Sorry, I'll come to you later," she said in an apologizing manner as if she was feeling some guilt. "Now I'll kill you bastards!" she turned then towards the dragon, the warriors, and the Selvator at the rear.

"How can you escape my attack?" the eyes of the Selvator were wide open at this moment. I finally felt some relief while watching him shifting his radar towards Rachel.

Well, I got armor to help me against his attack earlier. But I don't have one now. In return for taking the shield from her, I gave her the armor, plus another little gift in the secret.

So she didn't get any harm from that attack. As for myself, I could endure such an attack as long as there was no one to follow up.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Under the sudden change in events, Rachel showed her strength as she used a long curved sword to kill all the warriors around. In fact things were heading to our favor even without her interference.

Her warriors were midway in activating their skill. When the Selvator's skill would end, they would instantly smash the ground and kill the warriors for sure.

But it seemed she wanted to vent some steam, or attract more attention from the Selvator's side. Well, I couldn't object to that.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

In the next five seconds she killed almost ten warriors before she retreated fast. I told her that the duration of each skill would last for around five seconds to seven. That was considering the current stats of the Selvator.

The latter's face was unsightly at this moment. For some reason Rachel didn't get petrified, letting her to kill warriors instead of her getting killed.

He was supposed to interfere and kill her. But now after she was free, he hesitated and didn't attack. It was clear that he knew she had more cards up her sleeve.

*Rumble!*

"F*ck you!"

Just as the skill vanished, her line of warriors finally got freed and released their attack combined together. The big shield phantom hit the ground violently and I could already feel the fierce trembling even by standing behind.

I slowly stood up and watched the dragon youth's reddened face while cursing Rachel. The strike created a long and deep crater that extended even till the Selvator.

Anyone who got entangled by this attack was sucked inside the crater and was pressed heavily by immense pressure. I could hear the popping sounds of the warriors' bodies and cracking sounds of the dragon's body getting smashed.

But the Selvator was smart to retreat before that crater reached him. At this moment his eyes were upon Rachel and didn't give me any glance.

'Use it now girl,' I thought to myself while finishing my preparations at the market, 'you got it in the palms of your hand. You can do it!'

"It's now your turn," Rachel turned towards the Selvator who had a very serious look on his face at the moment. "Stay right where you are, I'm coming to kill you."

"Humph, pretty and strong, but not enough to touch this one here," the Selvator said in arrogance, a pure arrogance coming from his self confidence.

*Boom!*

The next moment he unsheathed his sword, pointed it towards the sky and all of sudden the world exploded. An immense power surged forth and silver thunder fell at the tip of his sword.

"Die!"

He simply slashed the sword and the next instant, the lightning reached Rachel and the warriors.

"I won't fall like that! Come out my best warrior!"

*Woosh!*

The next moment a grand physique appeared like a small hill and stood in front of her. She already had two big shields in her hands that she took out of her inventory. The moment the Bulltor appeared, she threw the two shields to him, allowing him to welcome the incoming strike and deflect it with much ease.

Yeah, I also gave her one Bulltor to use.. And she used it in such a brilliant way… That was good, girl.
