I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse
Chapter 57 - Separation Class SkillI didn't know who that god was, but he was certainly a friend not a foe. He didn't only alarm me about that treacherous trick, but also paid a hefty price to do that.
Without any doubt he was someone mighty and authoritative. Would he be a real god then? If so then I hit a jackpot from the opening show of my channel.
That was one of the many advantages of having a channel. Being a celebrity wasn't just a thing for show. It was a display of strength actually. Like this one here, that god seemed to take a liking to me.
Even if he had to pay a lot of price to deliver this message, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. After all, blessing points and coins weren't something precious in the eyes of a real god.
I hoped he would turn to become a real god, someone strong and useful at least. In just this message I could see how caring he was for me. He also cared about the Bulltors, which meant he might be related to them somehow.
But the Bulltors ended up losing their planet and failing the apocalypse. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to me and the human race.
As for how to handle this matter, it came as a spontaneous reaction without much thought. In fact I didn't know where that frightening weapon would attack.
Thinking of going back and using the same method wouldn't do. At least my enemies would be more prepared this time.
"So that's why they opened two portals near that place," it was impossible for me to replicate the same results again.
The path to the pond was blocked now by these two portals. Besides, the area around the statue turned into a big battlefield.
So the only possible way I could rely upon was to be free of any restraints.
Choosing to go deeply inside the monster army was the only possible path I had.
Even if I was surrounded with herds of monsters, no one would ever threaten me there. And if I wanted to walk away at any time, they wouldn't stop me.
Before I left, I started to gather my own loot. I stretched my hands and placed them over the dead body of the first dragon youth, seeing the old message of having half of its inventory.
After all, the system considered my warriors as part of my strength. But that wasn't the only thing I had here.
[Detecting two bones ready to separate. Do you want to use the separation skill over this dead body?]
It came as a surprise, a pleasant surprise. Was that thing instantly activated when I touched some dead bodies with bones suited to be absorbed?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was my first time to use this skill, so I was all curious about the benefits I would get. Without thinking much, I agreed and then a strange thing happened.
My palms shone in a weird black red light. It looked like a dying sun before the night fell. At the same time, two places in that dead body shone in white light.
"A shoulder and torso bone…" I moved my hands feeling like they were attracted to these two bones by a magnet. The moment I touched them, nothing much happened. I only felt a strange feeling as if I was holding something in my hands.
"So these are the bones… interesting," I raised the two bones and examined them. They were slightly bigger than the bones of a human, but not much change in their appearance.
The only weird thing might be the two shone in white light. In fact it looked as if they were both made out of pure white jade material and not bone.
"Let me store you for now," I threw the two inside my inventory while having some expectation for the other corpses.
I had fifteen dragons around me killed already. One gave me two white bones, so what about others?
As I started my hunt, I didn't neglect my other forces around. I shouted and ordered them to orderly advance towards my location, and the Bulltors still standing around me kept me safe from any monster.
Facing such monsters wasn't a hurdle for my little force. No matter how much they sent onto me, I wasn't endangered for even a second.
"Wow! I can't believe I got this much!!"
After I finished, I didn't move my eyes away from the inventory. The inventory swelled in size and at least tripled by far. However I wasn't interested in checking things I got except for my precious bones.
I got at least two bones from all of the dragons, with few giving me three and two gave me a pleasant surprise of four bones. They were mostly white in color, but there were five bones red and only one silver in color.
I didn't know their value yet, but for sure that silver bone was the highest in value. If this was something unique only to my class, then I could imagine how precious these bones were.
Yet I had no time to test them here. I knew things could wait until I finished this quest.
I moved my eyes away and could now see the brutal fighting happening up front. From the last remaining five dragons, only two were still standing. Despite their fervent effort, they couldn't escape the tight enclosure done by the jumper and my Bulltors.
However they were all in the heart of that great monster tide. So they couldn't take these two out, especially when one of them was the first arrogant arrogant youth who appeared first in front of me.
He was strong! His attacks rumbled the ground even. But what could he do against brute force? Dragons valued strength, and to crush them one needed even greater strength to bring them down.
"Follow me," I didn't delay any further, "the shield warriors will form a tight circle around. Bulltors are to move in front and clear a path while one group of shield warriors stay close to them to help if things become hard. Others stay in the middle and keep attacking. Healers make sure no one is killed."
Despite solving the earlier crisis of that orb of darkness fast, I lost five Bulltors during that short period. I didn't feel that bad about losing this few, but when I remembered I had no way to obtain more I was truly pained.
It was a big loss no matter how small the casualty was! If I get a chance again to obtain warriors, then I shall spend no effort to get thousands of them.
Having more of anything wouldn't matter, but being short and limited like this would be bad.
"Keep moving, don't stop," I kept receiving my orders while pushing everyone to their limits. We had little room to move in here. Even with the help of everyone, the monsters killed would be instantly replaced with fresh ones.
But against brute force, what numbers could do?
As if my enemies saw my line of thoughts, a red light started to suddenly flash above my head. I subconsciously looked up with much fear swerling inside my guts.
I would never know where it would hit until it started to descend. But the odds of it hitting in the middle of that big army was nearly negligible.
I acted out of any logic, and their hurry in activating that weapon now proved this. If I was heading towards the right place they previously determined, then they would rather wait for me to get closer to the center.
So they were only racing time to land that hit. I knew that weapon's main strength was terrifying, but its shockwave wasn't a joke either.
Even a strike that happened miles away created a strong gale of wind that swept me when I was inside the great lawn.
So I imagined the reason behind this hastened activation. They wanted to save these two dragons from getting killed.
If the weapon hit, then the shockwave would send all of us flying without order. I doubted it would be enough to kill everyone, but at least it would give a chance for these two dragons to escape.
How could I let them run away like that? Especially when I was looking for the loot I would gain from them? No way, that leading arrogant youth must have a very special collection of items in his inventory. Not to mention his bones must be high grade ones.
"Archers and magicians, aim for the two dragons up front," we were already close to the big fight going on between the two sides. "Make sure to aim at them, if not help in killing the waves of monsters keeping out people entangled."
The next instant attacks shifted and landed over the two dragons up front. Using my hawkeye skill I could see clearly how inefficient these attacks were.
Even if an arrow hit, it wouldn't create a lot of damage there. The bodies of these two dragons seemed sturdier than the rest. The chances of the two of them being alive so far out of pure luck we're almost nil.
They were strong. And that made me drool over them even more.
"Bulltors, break free and get to help at the front," if things reached this far then I could no longer play safe. Even if that would make our slow advance even slower, I wouldn't bother with this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI had my own shield warriors who got the next order after the spring of my Bulltors up front.
"Shield warriors, unleash your skills now!"
The world all around rumbled while I didn't care but by that dangerous red light up above. Strangely enough, that weapon kept charging for longer than usual.
It would take a few minutes to charge before unleashing hell. But now we exceeded five minutes already, and that star seemed to not be releasing anything yet.
A thought flashed through my mind when I noticed this. Was there a relation between the charging time and the intensity of that deadly weapon attack?
If so then I was going to face a hell of an attack soon.
"Keep pushing forward," I didn't slack off anymore and even started to join the fight. My warriors could be collected easily into my inventory with a mere thought.
But I was the only one able to take away the loot and the bones from these two dragons. So even if they were killed, it wasn't enough for me.
I needed to reach there in time, and I was running short on time.
I took out two of the best swords I could wield. Each added twenty points to my strength stat besides a sharpness effect that added more penetration to their blades against any armor or thick skin.
Then I started to utilize my full stats advantage against these monsters.
Despite them being dragonoid monsters, they didn't pose a threat to me actually. My two swords danced while I raised my speed to the limit.
The distance towards the jumper and these two dragons got shortened fast. My Bulltors already arrived moments before me, and their appearance added more fear to these two dragons.
"Kill them fast," I shouted even before arriving, "we are going to be hit by that beam once again."
The jumper was totally absorbed in the battle, so he didn't seem to notice anything. When he raised his head and saw that ominous red light up there, he paused for a second before he started to use everything he got to kill the two dragons.
With my arrival, the fight was almost over.
"My mighty clan won't let this slip away," that arrogant dragon kept yelling in resentment before I finally killed him using my swords, "they'll hunt you down till the end of this forsaken land."
"I won't mind them coming," I snorted before rotating the blades in his body and cutting down his heart mercilessly, "anyone standing in my way will be killed no matter what. Go and say hi to your friend, soon I'll add more company to the two of you in hell."
"f*ck you!" his last words were just cursing me before his eyes went blank and his face and body stiffened.
I got the two dragons at last, and the last kill was luckily mine.
