I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 55 - [Bonus Chapter] The Monster Wave

The usual time such a weapon would take would be roughly one minute. Despite that short time, it felt like a whole year to me.

I kept watching things going around, hoping that nothing would go wrong. Just as the red beam of light started to fade away slowly, I noticed a sudden surge of power coming from that weapon.

"The second attack," the jumper's astonished voice came, "be ready for it."

"We'll deal with it like the other one," I simply shrugged while watching the second attack land fiercely over the top of my head.

If they waited for the first attack to vanish, then it would actually have caused damage to the two of us. After all that statue here needed time to activate its aura of faith.

Plus I wasn't really sure if it could really be triggered twice in a row. So luckily the enemies were impatient and nervous, or they never expected me to deflect their attack like this.

The red light intensified again and the pressure returned to its annoying level. However, as my preparations were in place, nothing new happened.

After the passage of the second minute, the entire world seemed to dim all of sudden while no single voice appeared all around us.

This kind of attack was able to wipe an entire city! At least it would leave behind a deep crater here. When it was even used in a small -scale attack at the statue of liberty, the entire island there had many deep wounds.

But right now the ground looked normal, not even a single scratch was left behind. I looked around and saw the spears falling on the ground as the energy stopped flowing.

*Woosh!*

Without any hesitation, I stuffed in the last item I purchased into my inventory before jumping off. I hurriedly collected the spear all around the statute before heading fast towards the pond and collecting the spears along the way.

"Why are you in such a rush?" The jumper jumped and followed me while having his weird thoughts. "Are they that precious?"

"They are useful," I only said before we finally reached the pond. There a shocking scene appeared in front of us.

"This… What the hell is this?" The shock appears clearly in the shaky voice of the jumper. He had all the right to feel so, after all that dried up pond was now half filled with strange red liquid.

"Gimme a second," I didn't waste my time in answering him as I purchased ten liquor items first and then used them to suck dry this pond.

Couple of liquor items were usually enough to suck this entire pond dry. But this wasn't simple water. The pond was filled with shining thick red liquid that emitted a dangerous aura.

It was the purification of that red beam from before. All the energy that hailed over us was instilled and transformed into this form of liquid.

Such liquid had different characteris than water. It needed almost twelve liquor items to be collected. And After I did that, all I had on my face was a wide satisfying smile.

Yeah, I managed to get such a precious item this early on in the game.

"Let's go," I turned around and returned to the statue but the jumper seemed to be in shock as he stood in his place motionless for a long time.

When he came back, I was busy seeing something astonishing that I didn't expect.

[Class Quest 1: Survive!]

[Quest details: You are going to face three waves of monster attacks. You need to survive and kill at least fifty percent of the monsters]

[Quest rewards: You'll gain three more levels in your class + gaining ten class coins + one specific class skill upgraded]

[Failure: losing the qualifications to use the class for the second main system quest]

I was astonished. I didn't get a class quest when I fought against that brutal attack from before. Why was that? Did the system see me as someone not able to survive? Or was there something else?

I couldn't feel any doubt towards the next attack. I thought the three waves of monsters to be much easier than the double city destroyer assault.

But it seemed I underestimated this challenge. I couldn't help but feel more tense while the jumper reached my side.

"Why are you acting like you already lost?" he seemed to notice the grave expression on my face, "things are going to be just fine. It's just monster waves, what can possibly happen?"

I knew his words made sense, but if that is so then why did this turn out to be a class quest? The class quests weren't that common to have, and each one of them was supposed to be a real life and death challenge.

When I glanced again at the quest, I couldn't help but frown. The rewards I would get were really rich. Upgrading my class level by three ranks was something hard.

I needed one thousand souls to upgrade one level, and this quest here would push me three levels at once. How could that be even considered a reward for a normal quest?

I didn't know what the quest coins meant, but it seemed like something valuable. Perhaps it was something special and limited for classes only, as I never heard about such a thing before.

As for upgrading my class skills, it was a rich reward in my eyes. Upgrading even one skill would increase my total strength.

Looking at everything here, this quest meant only one thing; the upcoming monster waves were simple.

"Don't let your guard down," I said in a low voice while keeping up my vigilance.

"Are you finally asking for my help?"

Stop boasting please! If not for the uncertainty here, I would have never asked you for help.

"I'm just preparing for the worse."

"What could possibly go wrong? It's a monster tide wave, nothing special about it," he stretched his arms before a long spear and a shield appeared, "I faced many such monster waves. They all depend on numbers and nothing much."

I looked at him without saying my worries. I just hoped he would be right. I also knew a lot about monster waves from the records. As this jumper just said, they all depended on quantity and not quality.

But would it be this easy?

"Ka ka ka ka…" just as I was lost in my thoughts, a loud laugh emerged all of sudden. It came from hundreds of meters away, while a portal suddenly wrapped open there.

It started with a tiny dark red dot before it started to enlarge fast. In a few breaths it reached the size enough for a giant to pass through it.

"So this is the kid who killed that useless cousin of mine? Ka ka ka ka… I knew that cousin was a piece of sh*t, but not to lose on such a weak human kid."

Amidst that portal, a figure suddenly darted out in slow pace. From the first look I could recognize that new enemy's identity.

"A dragon race? What the hell is going on?" The jumper's tone changed as it was slightly heavy. And he had all the right to feel that.

The youth that appeared in front of me reminded me of that dragon kid I killed inside the class quest. He had golden scales on his cheeks, and his brows were shimmering in golden light. He looked robust with a body exceeding four meters in length.

He was strong. But that wasn't the reason behind the change in the jumper's attitude or mine. Just his presence here didn't make any sense.

"Surprised to see me?" he cracked a vicious smile as if he was enjoying this. "I just received the orders from my family. Someone sold a piece of info with a small video showing you killing my cousin. Poor cousin! He was aiming to contend with me over the seat of patriarch of the clan."

"What are you doing here?" the jumper was the one to speak while I noticed he changed his gears at this moment. The shield he held changed and became oval in shape and bigger in size compared to the previous one.

He wore a helmet that bent over his cheeks and had a single feather on top of it. I recognized this helmet, alongside the silver armor, armguards, legguards, and even knuckles.

It was a set, a very strong set that depended entirely on one's cultivation and not stats.

"I'm here to play," he said as if it was fun, "after all certain people paid a hefty price to make us participate in this little game here. I thought I was going to see something interesting, but in the end this was it. A poor human youth and pathetic coward."

"Who are you calling a coward? Do you want to die?" The jumper instantly stirred up while I simply made my final preparations.

'Add stat points to all my stats,' I slowly thought of this order in my mind, 'make all stats reach max!'

[All stats have been risen to max]

I hurriedly opened the profile to see that all stats stopped at a hundred points each. Compared to the previous forty points this was an obvious upgrade. But I doubted it would be enough to deal with those dragons.

I felt power seeping rapidly inside my body. A faint layer of red light lingered around me and that attracted the attention of that arrogant dragon youth.

"Trying to raise your power? That's funny, ka ka ka ka," he laughed as he pointed at me while turning back to the portal.

"He doesn't come alone, be on guard," the jumper's tone became more dignified.

"Be ready for a hell fight," I slowly said while taking out my swords. I could have bought better ones, or replaced these swords with anything in my inventory.

But why should I? If not for the fear of having no time to do it in the middle of battle, I would rather keep my stats lowered and didn't raise them.

If he thought I was weak, then why should I prove him wrong?

"Don't panic," the dragon kid laughed, "I brought my army here to lead a magnificent beast wave. Don't die so fast, or my trip here would be boring."

The next instant he got a long sword out of nowhere and raised it high in the air. He roared in a deafening tone, and I felt my entire body shaking.

"The dragon might? Damn! He is one of those royal blood bastards!" The jumper next to me wasn't in better shape. After all this dragon might roar was an innate skill that directly assaulted the soul.

It was also a famous shout for war. I knitted my brows while watching the dimly lit world around me getting brighter.

"Sigh, they'll take long minutes to arrive here," the dragon warrior shook his head as if he was depressed, "I've come here to tell you another piece of news…"

I clenched the hilts of my swords while activating my hawkeye skill. I managed to see clearly what was coming at me from far away. Thanks to my hawkeye skill, I could see up to one mile ahead.

And what I saw made my scalp numb!

"All of them are dragon variant monsters… How come…?!!" I was shocked while watching the smug smile over that arrogant dragon youth. As if he didn't hear my words, he continued to say:

"Certain people had to interfere thanks to you. Your class is just heaven defying and you aren't allowed to survive for another second. But dealing with this class even after killing you is troublesome, so they had to change the entire quest schedule, paying a hefty price for that."

They changed the quest schedule just for me? I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. Despite that meant the next quests wouldn't be like the order I knew, they would still be the same quests I was familiar with.

What was wrong with changing the quest order? That wouldn't differ much to me. But in return for that, it seemed the angels paid a large price to do that. And it seemed like this wasn't only limited to the angels of this city.

"So you want to say you are here as a dog on behalf of your masters?" I said in mockery while my face showed a provocative smile.

"You…" the look over the face of the dragon youth changed a little but he didn't move to attack. "You are really funny. Let's see if you can be this funny when I take out your heart and gril it on fire."

With a whoosh, he vanished and I could notice him appearing far away from here. For some reason, this dragon youth acted all talk with no intention of directly clashing with me.

Why was that? Even with my earlier provocation as a probe, he didn't attack and simply retreated.
