I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Or else how come they weren’t able to break through these beasts or whatever lied down there? They must have faced some sort of sealing power, one that I wasn’t aware of yet but was supported by the system.

The system could affect them. I experienced this through the contracts I enforced upon them. For a reason I didn’t know, we could use their cultivation powers, and our system could also affect them.

If so… Then could they possibly use the system as well?

I didn’t know the answer for that until trying.

“Start working,” I rolled my eyes, “don’t waste my time. Clearing that path will take days and even more.”

A single beast took up to five days each time I killed one. What if there were more than one beast down below?

This was just a single path, but it might be filled with beasts underground. I got bored staying all this time in this world. I wanted to go back and check over things on my second Earth world.

Besides… I came here looking for Angelica and Lily, yet to find a single trace of them.

I had to scan two vast worlds and turn them upside down until I’d found these two. I knew they were alive thanks to the contracts binding me with them.

Or else I’d lost hope about finding them alive, or even their corpses.

As they had no other choice, they went down below and started a long session of discussion with their people, one that I ended after one hour with a direct order using my horn.

“Start working! Stop wasting my damn time!” I got irritated by their actions. Who said they were going to suffer from this? I was the one going inside that path and faced those beasts.

As they got the order, they started to finally work. It took around three days to clear this path off rocks.

And as part of it got cleared, I was shocked to see it wasn’t an opening, but some sort of a magic circle.

“What the heck is that?” as the rocks were all cleared, I got to see a very sophisticated diagram on the ground.

It covered up a circle, spanning for almost ten miles in radius. It was made out of pure white special type of ore, giving me the impression I was looking at a piece of ground covered in ice.

The lines, the drawings, the letters… All were made by deep carving in such white material and using different colours of ores.

Red, orange, purple, blue, green, silver, and golden… All of these were colours appearing at the white ground of this circle.

I got the feeling of how strong it was, how deadly it was. “Are you sure this is the path?” I asked, and just before I’d get the answer from the leaders standing behind me, A fierce rumble came.

“It’s happening!”

“Take cover!”

“Run for your lives!”

As this rumbling happened, many shouts erupted from down below, startling me.

I turned and all I looked were the pale faces of those standing behind.

“What’s wrong?” I couldn’t help but ask. It seemed they missed a tiny detail in their long story, a very crucial one.

“Lord… This… The pillar once appearing will grab anyone close to it and force it inside,” Oliver said in such a shaky tone, “lord… Please… Let’s retreat…”

“No way,” I firmly said, “if you want, you can all go back and leave this chariot. But if you did, don’t ever question anything I say.”

My words fell and they got what I meant. I was going to fight the beasts down below, and I needed witnesses on that.

I wanted them to spread the news, tell stories about what they saw. This way, they were going to clear all the doubts and help me relieve such hatred targeting me and my universe.

But if they decided to retreat, then they shouldn’t question me ever again. I’d lose my chance to clear all the doubts once and for all. And so if they decided to leave, they had to drop all these doubts for good.

“Fine! I’ll stay,” the one who had the same power as mine said in such a firm tone, “you all return back. I’ll stay behind and see what this liar is going to do.”

“I’ll also stay,” and just as one spoke, many started to join. It seemed that the universe also had some sort of a comradeship between them.

“Ok,” as they all voiced their opinions, I had to cut it short so they wouldn’t start acting like kids, trying to convince each other to leave, “let’s go then.”

Without giving them any moment to think or react, I moved my chariot and headed directly towards the pillar of light that just got formed while they were speaking.

It was a grand white pillar that took the entire surface of the ground circle, heading towards the opening high above, getting thinner and brighter the higher it went, until it got connected with the opening high in the ceiling above.

As they said, this pillar connected the two openings together. What was that pillar used for? I had an inkling that it was something related to that weapon, and not just for show.

The moment I got into that pillar, I felt something weird.

It was like my class sacrifice! The same feeling of energy gushing inside my body, and the same refreshment I got from it.

But when I turned, I saw the ashen white faces of those leaders of the ten races.

Well… So this pillar was using my universe pure form of energy to infect their bodies and weaken them? Could my universe’s pure energy be used to cause the same effect just like this alien universe’s energy did to our people?

Then it hit me! This pillar was really part of this weapon. It was condensing the purest form of energy from my universe, condensing it to form such a mighty and scary pillar.
