I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

1723  Three Small Ships Are Racing Against Time!

[There is no time! The next target will be that portal for sure!] Hye couldn't believe how greed blinded her judgment at this critical moment. And when she saw his message, she couldn't help but gulp, feeling cold shivers all over her body.

[Fine! I'm coming right away!]

[Godspeed!]

[What the heck does that mean?]

[Dunno, it's a good luck saying from my home world] Hye rolled his eyes, [Just move your ass here, don't delay any further or else…]

[I know, I know… I'm already back into my spaceship, and will move with everything I have…]

[Ditch that ship! Collect it and other big ships, just move using the small ships]

[How about your warriors steering them?!!! We paid lots of effort and time to train them…]

[I'll call them back once you confirm taking back everything, just start packing, and let's go away from this cursed place…]

He waited for her to give him the signal. And when she did, he called back all the warriors he had in any place.

[Damn! You took the warriors in my spaceship as well!!!]

[Can't help it, and you don't need to bother about fighting anymore. Just fly directly toward the portal, and ignore anything else]

[If I die, I'm going to kill you…]

[Oh my my, are you turning into a zombie and coming for my life? Hahahaha!] he was amused by her words, amused by the entire situation.

He got much more than what he dreamt for, got trained warriors on flying the ships, got to devise a very unique and very deadly tactic to use in any space battle, got tons of loot, and on top of that he got to leave the Hescos behind for the first time since leaving Earth.

He flew directly towards the portal, and told the nymph lady he wasn't going to wait for her if she took more than ten minutes to arrive. He timed the difference between the two hits made by that weapon and knew it'd take around half an hour to charge.

At the same time, he wasn't that positive their next target would be the portal. If it was him, he'd aim directly towards the escape route of the enemy and block it, to make sure the enemy wouldn't escape and would be entrapped here.

But he couldn't tell if the world's forces would do the same or not. As he was amused and feeling great about this, the pirate king was gloomy in his flagship.

His forces got a fierce hit, directly from that world-killer weapon. He lost thousands of ships, with tens of thousands of veterans and good pirates. He couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest, and that was partially a bad omen he felt.

He wasn't like Hye, couldn't just call everyone back into his inventory and make a run in a single ship. He had to move in a big entourage and convey something that'd be easily spotted from hundreds of miles away.

As he knew that, he felt like the next strike would land at him. "Prepare my fastest ship, I'm going ahead towards the escape portal," as he got such a bad omen, he decided to run away first and keep his life.

He knew the next target would be either his fleet or that portal, but he felt it'd be his fleet first then the portal. Pirates were deeply hated all over the universe thanks to the brutality of their actions and crimes. So it wasn't a surprise if he spotted a flash of deadly light coming in his direction from far away, ending up destroying much of his fleet and taking away his life.

He could replace his fleets and forces, as long as he'd pay enough price for that, but he had just one life to keep. So he hurriedly left and headed like Hye and a nymph lady towards the portal in a small fast ship, all alone and without anyone accompanying him.

He feared if he brought forth his guards or elite pirates, the enemy would spot him. And as he moved towards the portal, something started to flash brightly in the far distance.

"It's recharging faster this time," Hye, the nymph lady, and the pirate king all noticed that. They all felt their hearts clenched tightly and didn't know what would happen next.

The weapon charged in just ten minutes, and that was thanks to overflowing it with a crazy amount of energy. The world's forces' generals were very experienced and knew that delaying the upcoming attack would bring disastrous results in the end.

The enemies would eventually escape. As there was a possibility for the pirate king to make a run in one of the hard-to-track small ships, they decided to hit his fleet first, then charge up the weapon fast, and hit the portal next.

They didn't believe the pirate king would cross that distance in less than half an hour. But they were mistaken. The three of them had very fast ships, and they moved from the early moment of the first strike.

So they were getting closer to the portal, only needing a few minutes to arrive there when the second strike landed.

"I hate and despise you!" When the pirate king saw his grand fleet getting barbecued by that weapon, detonating in a very fierce way, he couldn't help but scream in agony and bitterness. Yet he was partially thankful he managed to get away with his life intact, at least this was thanks to his instincts and decisive response.

The three crazily ran, pushed through anything and everything standing in their way. As Hye predicted, they didn't have time to even care about the enemies around, and they didn't need to fire a single shot at any enemy, only focusing on running fast and pulling away the distance with their enemies in the shortest time possible.

[I'm here, where are you?] The first to arrive was Hye. and the moment he did, he noticed the big-scale battle ongoing between the pirate forces guarding this portal and the other two behemoths' forces.

[I'm just two minutes away! Wait for me!]

[Be ready, there is a big fight going on here]

[You took away my warriors…]
