I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

They fought, flipped over each other, and lost their target which was me. I stood in the middle of all this chaos, surrounded by circles of my controlled monsters, defending me against others.

They fought, they wasted time, and I kept controlling more. The more I controlled, the more circles formed around me.

And my boys from behind didn’t stop firing for even a second!

The attacks of my fallen gods were the most effective and deadly ones. The least to participate were my soulers. They couldn’t fight in water, and had to wait for monsters to come on land to attack.

Only a small part of the attacking monsters came on shore. That made my soulers, even with their great numbers, unable to make a difference in such an intense fight.

This was a glaring example of how bad it was to focus over a single force. I felt like my hands were tied, without much to do but to keep releasing my threads.

During the past half an hour, the number of monsters I controlled reached ten thousand. That was after all the losses I had by the clash with the incoming monsters._{-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.}

As my monsters reached such size, I started to send them forward in batches. As long as my threads were connected to their bodies, they would keep infecting other monsters with my threads, adding more monsters to my growing army.

“Phew, it was intense,” as I sent my boys to the lake, I knew it was going to end sooner or later. During the early minutes, I felt a little nervous. After all I was just so damn close to the fierce fights going on between monsters.

But now I stood in water, surrounded by dead bodies of monsters, without any threat coming at me. “Let’s bind them then,” I knew keeping threads attached to such a large number started to put a pressure on my technique.

I had to keep controlling these monsters while expanding my threads to control others. In such a way, my speed to control more monsters started to decline with each passing minute.

The only way to solve this was to force the existing monsters under my control to sign a loyalty contract. This would relieve lots of mental pressure off me, and let my technique regain its former ferocity and effectiveness.

As for my boys here, I gave them the order to scatter around and start hunting any monsters trying to run away. For my fallen gods, I let them over the chariot which I controlled to roam around. _{ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ My Krakens and Dragons went into water, and only my soulers and ground forces remained behind.

They had nothing to do at the moment. The aquatic monsters stopped flooding outside the lake for a quarter of an hour so far.

They idly stood there, and I had no way to let them participate in this ongoing big fight.

Starting from here, it was me playing with monsters in the lake, not the other way around.

As I let my new boys fight to their heart content, I even had time to chat with the jumper.

That dude was facing a harder time than me dealing with the aerial monsters. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

He should thank me for coming all the way here. Or else if the scheme of our enemy got through, then he would have to face a combined attack from air and water, while facing hordes of ground monsters.

Just as I checked on him and knew he had at least three to four hours to reach here, a new change occurred.

It didn’t come from the direction of water, but from the ground, far away from Detroit.

At the horizon, a weird pillar of cyan light appeared, then another. Each pillar skyrocketed to a certain height before stopping.

One, two, five, ten, thirty, forty, eighty… Damn! How much of these pillars were going to appear? And what were they doing here?

I didn’t need to think much about them. One person had an interest in stopping me, and that was my deadly enemy.

As for these pillars, they would never be there for a good reason.

They kept flashing and increasing in number fast until I counted over a hundred and stopped.

But the pillars kept flashing. They appeared to be far away from Detroit.

In a few minutes, the pillars stopped appearing and the world out there looked peaceful and calm.

I had to use my Hawk Eye skill to see closer and get to know what was coming at me.

Once I moved my eyes around, I spotted lots of dark monsters that kept moving at fast speed, trying to get to Detroit as fast as possible.

They kept moving at a fierce speed, making it hard to get a glimpse of what they really looked like. Unlike the aquatic monsters, these monsters were much smaller in size, with long four to six arms that stretched out from their bulging bellies to help them speed up like that on the ground.

“So you are trying to get me from behind? Bad for you! I got lazy boys here, itching to kill someone…”

I cancelled the skill and turned my eyes towards my soulers, “Go out there, there is a big army of monsters coming. Kill and feast on their souls. Don’t let them set foot inside Detroit!”

If they reached the city, then it would be hard to control them.

It was better to bring the fight up to them, outside Detroit.

At the same time, this meant I was doing a good job here. If not, then that bastard wouldn’t have to intervene here.

But what was with these pillars? Were they portals in different shapes? Did they have special meaning or effects?

Did that mean this bastard was here?

I thought for a moment to go out there and look for him in person. But I soon threw this idea away.

The last time I met him, he ran so damn fast and hid inside one of his portals. He wasn’t a fool. He would station himself near one of these many pillars, get inside any if he spotted me coming.
