I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Should I go inside and try out my luck? Would my chariot’s shield be vulnerable inside or would it protect me?

Weighing the pros and cons here, I decided to retreat for now. Things were looking bad on the surface, but I felt I didn’t reach such a desperate rock bottom yet.

The den released tons of the zombies, and they were enhanced versions of the commonly found zombies at this stage of the quest. However they were all entrapped by my ten grand safe zones.

With the help of the tens of millions of warriors here, I believed this den wouldn’t bring much damage to my kingdom yet. So I wasn’t in a hurry to deal with it. Instead, I decided to go and visit another place where an ancient epic battle erupted.

It was the zone where I fought against all the races for days and killed many armies until my forces were entrapped inside an illusion world.

This battlefield was unique without doubt. Despite it being harsh, it spanned over the course of hundreds of miles. So I had to travel to many places to cover up the entire scope of this grand war.

I decided first to open a portal and go towards the place where the illusion world first appeared. It was still a mystery about what happened back there. And so I decided to visit that place first before any other spots.

The moment I appeared there I couldn’t help but feel immense shock when I saw what waited for me there.

I knew this place wasn’t simple. Up till now I still couldn’t get a glimpse over what really happened here.

At one side of the story, I knew that my nemesis that came from the future and sent copies to stop my steps did this illusion thing.

But at the same time there was the mystery of the army of humans that appeared and disappeared later without a trace.

They managed to abduct many humans from my side, and I still could get in touch with them. However even after the passage of all this time, not a single breakthrough was achieved about the mystery of the world they were in.

I didn’t check with them for a long time already, but they also didn’t send back any news. In the worst case scenario, they got killed already and that mystery would still remain unexplained for a long time.

As for what appeared in front of me, it was a grand ball made out of flickering white, silver, red, and gold lights. It looked as if a grand storm was swirling there, wreaking havoc with anything inside.

I didn’t see a single zombie around, which was something bizarre. I still recalled how bloody this last battle was, and many paragons fell on my hand here.

I looked over, flew around, and yet I didn’t see any zombie as far as my eyes could reach.

“Weird… What’s the reason? Is it because of this thing?” I finally turned my full attention over that grand ball that covered an area of tens of miles.

I couldn’t see anything through it no matter how hard I tried. The world inside seemed chaotic and deadly, but I felt it harboured more than destruction.

I thought about venturing inside and getting to see things with my own eyes. My chariot’s shield was enough to protect my life inside.

Even the mighty red beams failed to crush my chariot’s shield. I was about to go in when the entire ball of light shimmered and all the chaos that appeared there started to vanish.

It looked like all the lights that kept flaring and flashing before got unified and merged together to form a thick and opaque red light that encompassed the entire ball.

I tried to see through it, but still couldn’t. When I was about to enter, I was again stopped.

This time I spotted flashes of light coming out from the ball. It felt like something was thrown from inside out, penetrating the red ball and leaving behind long trails of red beam.

When these things landed, I was surprised to see zombies. They were in no different shape than weak zombies, except for the red colour covering up their entire bodies.

Zombies were pale yellow in colour, not this red. When I looked closer, I saw their eyes had all the white vanished from them and brimmed in bright scarlet red colours that looked like fiery gems.

p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、(c)om They didn’t seem to have changed much, but they gave me a scary impression. They were strong, and not easily defeated like other weak zombies.

In addition to that, their number was already huge, and more long trails of red beams kept coming out from the ball.

I didn’t know why they didn’t try to come out normally, like walking out from the red ball. But I didn’t care much about it.

Another spot turned hot for me, and strong looking high grade zombies were threatening this part of my kingdom.

The place was slightly closer to the northern borders of my kingdom. If I left this place untouched, then in the end the northern region would be entirely lost.

Thinking about that grand gulf lining up my kingdom in the north, I knew this was going to end badly if I didn’t intervene.

“I’m getting tired of this,” as I started forming my protective shields using my pillar and filling the zones inside with tons of warriors, I felt it wasn’t something that I fancied.

I got nothing against using this way, but I knew it wasn’t effective. It was just a countermeasure aiming to contain this plaque and not swiftly end it.

“Should I use my technique and control a few?” I wondered especially when I saw how strong these red zombies were.

But it felt a waste of time and effort to do so. There were still a few other places I needed to visit. Not to mention that crazy and hellish place in the southern regions of my kingdom.

If every special place ended up in such a way, then I was quite sure the place where I slain my little turtle was going to be a nightmare.

I got the feeling that even if I went ahead and reached that place first and ahead of other places, I wasn’t going to stop the disaster happening there.

So I refrained from going there till now, and I didn’t plan to go there either until I finished visiting and controlling all the messy hot spots inside my kingdom.

One thing was for my favour, which was the location of that epic battle with that colossal monster. It was all deep in the ocean, away from land, making it slightly in my advantage.

“Keep them in bay,” I gave the same order to all the warriors I summoned here. Just like I did with the first den zone, I created ten safe zones surrounding this second den entirely.

This red ball was indeed a second den, one that also produced high grade zombies like the first.

“I hope no more high grade dens will be produced,” I sighed while taking a last look over this den before flashing away through a portal.

Luckily for me, the other places I visited didn’t have the same insane development I experienced at the two dens’ zones. The places of the bloody and long war of the past were just filled with endless small and weak zombies.

Using my warriors without the need of using any sort of protection was enough to start a killing spree there. Of course these zombies worked to make out dens, but their effort wasn’t going to bring any fruit thanks to my intervention.

Without the presence of any high grade zombies here, the entire territory got controlled fast.

The building project that Isac commanded before reached this region. But after the appearance of zombies and the brutal fights that erupted later with the guarding garrison, many structures were damaged already.

But there were lots of places for my warriors to use as defensive anchors and depend on them to kill more zombies without suffering too much.

As the size of this old battleground was vast and expanded for hundreds of miles, I had to use hundreds of millions of warriors to make sure this spot wouldn’t need my help anytime soon.

I also made sure to leave behind a few safe zones protected by my pillar’s shields. Even if the angels thought to stab me in the back and come at my scattered armies with their red beams, my warriors would find sanctuary at these zones and escape total annihilation.

[Tell me about the recent development] As I finished doing all this, I didn’t hurry to jump over a new area yet. I asked Isac, Lily, and even that jerk, the jumper, about what was going on in my kingdom.

More than four days already passed, and it was enough to assess any damage and see how well we were doing against the fifth quest.

And from the news they sent, I finally heaved a sigh of relief.
