I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1696  The War Is On!

Hye used just a tiny portion there and managed to level up an army of his warriors. He was going to harvest more crystals soon, and then use them to level up a scary amount of crystals to use to strengthen more warriors.

So he didn't lack warriors to his aid, but Smiggy never knew that. In the end, Smiggy might be speaking about his well-being, but he still was doing this for his sake.

Hye didn't let these kind words and advice leave any impression on him. He was vigilant every time he dealt with this smuggler and didn't forget that he was dealing with a vicious outlaw.

[So, how much will this cost me?] he turned the topic back toward the point that interested him.

[Nothing much, one hundred thousand bones to take you out there safe and sound]

[Don't joke with me] Hye knew this dude was speaking about his dark realm bones, [I can pay one hundred as fees]

[O… One h… Hundred!!! Why don't come and f*ck me up then? No, I won't settle with any amount less than eighty thousand bones!]

They two kept hustling and bargaining about it for a few hours until they agreed to pay just twelve thousand bones. Smiggy kept complaining about this, and Hye complained about how greedy he became.

Yet the two knew they came out from this deal winning and not losing. The smuggler would get free bones, and Hye would have a safe way out from this world.

[Wait for one day, then head towards Sector 742. There you will go towards the Blue Zone, ask for the man without the hat…]

[What's with that damn hat? Last time, little Silvy also asked me to ask for the man without the hat!]

[Hahahaha, that's my codename, hahahaha. Do you like it?]

[It's boring!]

[It's genuinely unique and new! You don't appreciate the beauty of codenames, tsk]

Hye enjoyed teasing Smiggy about his codename for a few more minutes before the latter stopped responding to him. [Come on Smiggy, you are the one without a hat, so let me buy you one, hahahaha!]

[...]

"Tsk! He is quite sensitive towards that silly codename of his," Hye shook his head while an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Why are you this happy?" The lady nymph was walking by his side in the middle of the streets. Hye didn't listen to what Smiggy said, didn't want to remain inside that hotel or this sector for any longer.

He knew he would be closely watched, especially when the war started. News of the presence of the Toranks fleet was already known to many, and it'd be weird if the leaders of this world didn't get wind of it.

The most logical move would be for them to come for him. It'd be weird if they didn't even lock him up, torture him if he refused to cooperate, and ask the Toranks for help.

It might be safe right now, as the war just started and the world's leaders were confident in their win. But if things went south, and he felt this would be the case, then they'd come surely for him.

He'd prefer to keep moving around sectors at this moment than stick to a single place. He wouldn't go directly to the sector Smiggy asked him to wait for him there and instead decided to take a tour around.

He already exchanged many universal coins from little Silvy using his bones. "What are we going to do now?" As the two ended up in front of a portal zone, the lady nymph was curious about what he planned to do.

"We are going on a tour," Hye smiled, but she felt like he didn't mean any of what he said. Before she'd ask even more, he started to head toward one portal, randomly selecting it.

"Going to Sector 12? What's special about that place?" she was surprised and puzzled by his decision, didn't know he just made it up right on the spot.

"I want to see the world before its demise," he shrugged, casually throwing out such excuses that didn't convince her at all.

She had no option but to follow him. He paid the fees and waited for the portal to get activated. The talk all around was about the war, yet people never knew the war they were mentioned in the future tense was already happening right now.

Hye kept his silence until the portal got activated and carried the two of them away. When he landed over sector 12, he couldn't help but feel a cold shiver running down his spine.

"Danger!" he instantly summoned Lucas and a group of a thousand Soulers. The moment he landed, he felt the same feeling when he was weak, in the early phase of the apocalypse, while meeting that hybrid monster.

"Watch out!"

"Enemies at the gate!"

"Run! They are the Hescos! Run for your lives!"

The moment he took out Lucas and the others, he heard a loud bang followed by many distressed shouts. All came from one direction, and that was a few miles away from his current spot.

It might seem far, but the shouts and explosions that followed made it look like things were happening next to him. "What the heck did you bring us to? Let's run… What are you doing?!!!" the lady nymph felt like her soul was going out of her body when she saw the explosions.

The first reaction she had was to turn around and run. But against what she instinctively decided to do, Hye ran in the totally opposite direction, towards the direction of this mess.

"Stay here," he shouted, "I'll come and bring you with me."

"No, I'm coming!" She knew being with him would put her life in more danger, but something told her that the safest spot in the world was also by his side.

"As you wish," Hye didn't stop her, allocated ten Soulers to act as her bodyguard, "keep her safe," he said, and the lady nymph felt weird warmth touching her heart even in the middle of all this mess.
