I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

But that didn't make me hesitate to take another artefact out and instantly use it.

It was a tripod, and when I gushed my energy inside it, it started to shine and buzz, releasing massive waves of energy around.

This was another artefact I got before, one that could boost the strength of my forces.

If gravity was such domineering power, then to counter it my forces needed much equal or even more domineering power.

As the two artefacts were powered by my energy, the one I got from my bones at this moment, so it was easy for me to achieve such balance.

I left the amount of energy gushing out through my left hand holding that board stable and fixed, while delivering everything else towards my right hand.

From the start, my right hand would show a change to the energy passing through it than my left hand. Even when using my techniques, the ones executed by my right hand were much stronger than those executed by the left.

And that was why I assigned the tripod to be held by my right hand. And as the tripod kept shining and buzzing, more waves of energy kept coming out from it, expanding all over the area around, covering up my entire forces.

In the first few minutes, nothing happened. But slowly I could see my forces stand up from the ground, straighten their backs, raise up their arms, and then start to move.

"Kill!" I simply muttered this simple word, and then the entire world got dyed by the blood of those friends.

"F*ck you!" and just as my tripod augmented everything on my side, my chariot started to regain its former power and prestige, rising up slowly in the air, while the enraged voice of that dude came from far away.

He was a fast runner indeed. From the tone and direction of his uncontrollable shout, I guessed he was far away from this place already.

Tsk! I thought he'd stick around and wait to see me fall. But for a reason, that dude acted in great caution, and didn't stay here for a single second after executing his fire attack.

I hate fighting against vigilant foes!

But even if he ran away, right now his forces were facing such risk. I planned everything so it'd end up this way.

If he decided to keep his hands away then all his forces here would get killed and I'd get away unscathed. Yet he could see that I was struggling against my own technique, and that meant one thing.

I couldn't keep such a thing going on for too long! That was the idea I wanted to insert inside his mind, and I planned to make it more believable by a few acts later on if he decided to follow through with my plan.

And so it was now his turn to make a choice. Should he let such a golden chance slip by or he'd act brave and come to hunt me down with everything he got?

If I left the outer area unblocked with my shields, then he might have suspected something. That was why I reinforced this place with my shields in the first place. And that was why using shields was my first step.

And I ended up having two layers of shields and not just one.

If I thought such shields would stop him from sending troops in then he'd not be worthy to be my opponent. He already found a way out and escaped my shield entrapment.

That meant he got something up his sleeve to use and bypass the blockade of my shields. Of course such a thing would be on the same level of my artefacts, and that meant he had to pay a price to use it.

And it would be better if he had to pay a great price to let his forces in. this way he'd end up being weakened, and wouldn't be able to use any of his two annoying techniques anytime soon.

I didn't fear that fire, but the clouds. They were enough to buy his forces precious minutes to run away from their demise and my trap, regroup and come again later on or try to escape.

I didn't want to see my sheep run away just when it was time to reap their wool. So I hoped he'd end up diverting most of his energy to bring his forces here.

That if he decided to do that in the first place.

And so it came down to waiting for his response, which didn't take longer than half an hour to come.

During this period, my forces were killing him without any mercy. I kept gushing all the energy I absorbed from the bones into the two artefacts I held, while adding more bones if part of the old ones got depleted.

I wouldn't allow for the enemy to catch his breath even for one second!

And then a loud rumble appeared.

It came first from one direction, far away where my outer shield was. Then another came, and another, and their noises became much louder and getting closer.

I didn't need to be out there to see what was going on. Huge tunnels were formed in between my shields, forcing the shields to open paths for lots of enemies to arrive.

However that wasn't distressing, as these holes were short span and didn't live for longer than one minute.

Then these holes would get closed while others would open up.

"So you decided to fight," I felt real excitement when I noticed this. The enemy started to penetrate the two shield layers, adding new blood to this carnage.

Of course the enemy didn't do that out of impulse. It was clear that I was struggling to keep the energy pouring out. And during the past half an hour, I slowed down the speed of replenishing my bones, giving my forces a little headache from time to time.
