I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 58 - [Bonus Chapter] The Berserk Skill

Getting the kill wasn't totally out of pure luck. What I noticed was that despite the jumper fighting fiercely, he still kept his distance away from any harm.

Except for the siege from the dragons from earlier, he had to fight with his life on the line. But when my Bulltors reached out to help, he refrained a bit from his power, looking a little wary about something.

I didn't have any way to ask about what happened now. The time we had was limited so I instantly got half of the two dragons inventory plus their bones.

As expected, that leading youth gave me the highest bones in number and quality. Five bones were salvaged from his body, with two golden, two silver, and one red.

The other one gave me four, one golden and three silver. In terms of quality, the two didn't lose to each other.

"What will we do now?" the jumper asked in a fright while pointing at the sky, "that damn weapon is charging for a long time. It's a wide scale attack. We need to leave."

I didn't answer him until I gathered my spoils of war. I knew he had a point, but I would never let fear overthrow my benefits.

As I stood up, I found my small forces catching up fast. "Let's wait for them first," I didn't hurry to leave.

"We need to leave now!" yet the jumper stressed. I knew he was panicking, just like myself. But unlike him, I had the feeling that no matter how much distance we ran, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Listen up," just as the rest of my forces joined, I shouted, "the shield warriors form a circle around, the archers and magicians are to unleash everything to clear the way. Let's move towards that direction."

I pointed in the direction of the west. It was totally opposite to the direction of that statue.

"Shouldn't we go north?" the jumper asked in doubt.

"Just trust me," I didn't have any clue but a vague feeling. If I was in steed on those angels, then I would definitely aim towards the north as this held the highest potential of us going there.

After all, they placed the portals at the south just near the statue. If I recall correctly, that weapon attacked in a rectangular shape, not circular.

East wasn't bad either, but that was where the last portal was located. We shouldn't pin ourselves with the large influx of monsters.

So we started to run towards the East. it was the only possible direction with least risks here.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Just as we started to move East, the monsters roared all of sudden in a deafening manner before their eyes all turned red.

"The berserk mood… Those bastards don't want us to have an easy run," the jumper noticed what happened. I had to admit, this move came at such a hard time without a doubt.

But it also proved that my earlier guess was right. If we moved towards the East, we wouldn't get attacked directly by the weapon.

So the angels did this dirty trick, using a wide skill to turn the monsters berserk all around. A b berserk monster wasn't just higher in strength and speed, not only had its own ferocity increased, it would also boost its tracking abilities.

Humans were always the target of monsters, like being their sworn enemies. However monsters had limited range skills and abilities to detect humans.

Without the presence of a leader to unify and lead them, the angels had to use this berserk skill to make sure they would sniff our scents no matter how far away they were.

So in the next few minutes, it seemed like we got thrown into the middle of a raging ocean with mighty waves. Monsters came at us with no reservation for anything, only wanting to kill us at all costs.

The berserk mood was a mighty weapon, but it had three obvious setbacks. The first was its duration. It would only last no more than five minutes in my estimate.

So if we survived these five minutes, that mood would be off.

The second setback was its side effect. The berserk mood drove out huge strength and consumed a lot of energy from the monsters. So after wearing out, the monsters would enter a strong weakened state that would last to double the duration.

As for the third setback, it was turning the monsters dumber. These monsters weren't an intelligent race in the first place. Yet they held simple intelligence like avoiding danger and not falling into traps.

But right now they lost this advantage, and I aimed precisely at it.

"Thirty shield warriors at the rear, use your skills now!" As the enemy lost their leader, I had to take advantage of this and show my superiority.

The value of a leader was unsurmountable by any means. Even using such a strong skill as a berserk skill wouldn't cover up the loss of this monster army leader.

Thirty shield warriors listened to my order and the next moments a deep and long crater extended for over one hundred and fifty meters. The crater was obviously wider and deeper than the usual craters caused by a group of twenty of them.

Then things started to become funny when the monsters started to fall in large numbers while hunting us.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious," the jumper seemed to enjoy this but I knew this was far from over.

During all that, I kept my eyes high up, observing that shiny little red light far above my head. That damn weapon was still charging.

From the tip from that anonymous god, I knew the angels couldn't change their target. Yet they could pay extra fees to make sure the weapon would charge for more time.

More charging time was equal to more devastation, and a wider area covered. That meant they were trying to make the weapon reach us at any cost.

As this battle reached such a state, my main goal was precisely the opposite.

"Forty shield warriors up front, two groups each, release your skill here and here," I instantly pointed my sword towards two directions, aiming to cut down the number of monsters and relieve the pressure on us.

The warriors listened but the jumper seemed to not take a liking to my idea. "We need to avoid running in between," he said as if he could read my mind.

Without explaining anything to him, I instantly shouted my next order just when the two skills landed and left two deep craters extending for one hundred meters.

"All the Bulltors, move up front and kill anything that stands in our way."

*Roar!*

The Bulltors all roared in unison before their bodies moved fast towards the front. All this time they were well protected and did nothing. Stamina exhaustion was something I was worrying about, so I had to give them some time to rest between the fights.

Without the need to say anything, the actions of forty something Bulltors explained everything to the jumper. Nothing could stand against the mighty charge of the Bulltors. Especially if putting into consideration the shape of the terrain I just created.

Starting narrow and then expanding on the distance, we started running while our speed soared than before.

The monsters that blocked our path were all cleared by the Bulltors. As for those on both sides, they weren't lucky to evade the craters and fell to their deaths.

If this was before, then they wouldn't fall into such lame trap. But now they lost any reason and had no way to think. Only following their instincts, blindly charging towards us.

"Archers and magicians, be ready to launch hell at my mark," I shouted when we crossed the fifty meter mark. If this plan was good, then it had one simple weakness.

The end of the two craters. As we crowded the monsters in this way, then our charging out would be a bit problematic.

But not for me. I had my own way to solve this.

"Now! Release everything out there," when we reached the eighty meters mark, I calmly pointed one sword towards the distance. The warriors listened and dense attacks landed, reaping endless lives in no time.

Then before the monsters would charge in and fill the gap my warriors created, the Bulltors just arrived faster and prevented anyone from filling it.

"Forty shield warriors, do it again," just when we had arrived at this gap, I instantly laid down my next order.

And like that two more craters appeared, and the monsters once again were stopped and separated forcibly by the craters.

Like this we kept repeating the same tactic while running directly towards the East. After five more minutes, the monsters all around started to show weakness at last.

Their fast speed was diminished. Their red eyes dimmed and returned to their normal looks, even parlor was obvious over their faces.

"They can't stand us anymore," the jumper laughed and this time he went ahead and joined the fight.

As the monsters lost their ability to hunt us fervently like before, I finally could heave a sigh of relief. I stopped using my earlier tactic. For one it wouldn't work on these monsters anymore, and for another it wasn't needed actually.

"Stop here," just when we ran for a couple more minutes, I suddenly gave the order to stop. We were already at the border of this entrapment. I could even see the number of monsters growing scarcely in the distance with my hawk eyes.

The constant use of my skill made me feel exhausted despite not doing much already. Its consumption seemed to be heavy, even on my stamina stat with one hundred points in it.

"Why stop?" The jumper seemed to not understand the reason behind my sudden stop.

"I have a quest to fulfill," I turned and gave my back to the few monsters there, "Bulltors, half will stay behind and keep our backs safe. The rest will move up front and kill to your heart content. Just don't delve more than five hundred meters away from me."

I was afraid if they went too deep I wouldn't be able to recall them into my inventory when the weapon attacked. The jumper stood by my side while watching my little force sweeping the enemies like they were harvesting wheat with a sharp sickle.

"Is this alright?" The jumper was worrying about that weapon in the sky. For all this time it was charging non-stop, and that didn't sound good.

"That weapon takes the shape of a rectangle in its attack," I calmly said while watching the monsters killed no matter how big their numbers were. "We already crossed over a mile over to the East. even if it keeps charging for another hour, it won't be able to touch us."

I was putting that image I had back in my room about the devastation of the statue of liberty in my mind. I wasn't underestimating that weapon, but it had a narrow base and long arm, making it hard to cover a mile in breadth without reaching over twenty miles in length.

What did that mean? It would mean to destroy a good part of New York city. That wouldn't be acceptable. The system wouldn't let it happen.

So even if the angels paid more price, they had a limit to what they could do here. That was the main reason behind my calm reaction so far.

Plus I had to kill at least fifty percent of the monsters here. If I left earlier, then most monsters would die at the hands of that mighty weapon.

And that was unacceptable to me.

"Wait.. It's coming!" Just in less than five more minutes, that weapon's red light intensified and started to shine like a bright sun. I knew it was about to land so I didn't hesitate to suck in all the forces at the front.

"Follow me," I shouted at the rest while leading them further to the East, "kill anything in your way, use your skills, and you… do something good for once!"

I relayed my orders to the remaining twenty Bulltors and forty shied warriors. As for the jumper, he only got a ridiculed expression and mean comment from me.

From the start till this moment he only kept blabbering and running his mouth without really doing anything useful.

I only let him be like that till this moment.. After all, if things went bad, I would have to depend entirely on him to survive this.
