I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I was of course referring to the dark shadow clan folks who were using the same kind of energy as myself.

I planned to go and train with them before, to get inspiration and learn. However I didn’t get the time to do it. And I planned to go and train inside my pocket world.

Of course I could bring them inside with me, despite the fact that they might feel unpleasant thanks to all the deep and bitter memories they held for that cursed place.

But at least I could convince those higher ups or even order them. And now I had another use for them.

I’d give them these bones and test them. If they ended up exploding, it would mean I got deadly grenades under my control.

If they turned out to be something special, like storing the energy from these people for a longer time or doing something else, then it would be better.

Either way, I got to go back and test these bones over them.

“Our visit here is over,” I looked around at this world. I knew there were too many things I could salvage from here, but I didn’t need any for now.

Once we got outside, a terrifying scene appeared in front of my eyes.

“Dammit! Don’t tell me it’s caused by my bone!“ Just as my chariot came outside, an ocean of running wild fire engulfed us.

My chariot’s shield kicked in, protecting me from anything. I looked around, and all I could see was fire everywhere, fire coming and going like they were enraged water.

“Lord… Look there… It’s the bone!” and as I tried to move away, I got to face the fierce retaliation of this fire.

It seemed like the fire had a will and might of its own. It was the first time for me to experience such a thing.

How long has it passed since I threw it outside? Almost half an hour or something? And that was by the time of the necromancer’s world.

It must have been just ten minutes or so in the Earth’s time. And yet that didn’t make any sense. How come fire kept wreaking havoc in such a way, and in such terrifying might, for all this time?

And when Oglak shouted and pointed towards a direction, I got to see the source of all this.

It was indeed my bone. It was standing midair, raised from the ground by hundreds of metres, shining all bright and releasing thick tongues of fire.

It gave me the same vibe as a terrifying star surface or something. “I can’t get near it,” I tried, aiming to suck it inside my shadow world using my second or merged techniques.

But how could I do it if the chariot of mine was flying at such snail speed? It felt like I was swimming against a mighty current in the middle of a fast running river!

“Let’s go,” I finally dropped the idea of going to take this bone away and started to go to the opposite side.

It was much easier, yet it took me roughly an entire hour to get away.

“Damn! How come this bone turned into such fierce bomb?!!!“ When I finally broke free, I managed to see the entire scale of this thing.

The fire was forming a gigantic fireball, expanding for tens of miles in radius, killing and scorching anything alive within. Luckily there was nothing close to it.

The closest thing was that shore and ocean, and more tens of miles separating it from my capital.

Luckily this didn’t happen near any inhabited cities or towns, or near any big army of mine.

“Lord… Will we stand here and watch?” from the side, and after waiting here motionless watching all this mess for three hours, Oglak couldn’t prevent himself from asking.

“I need to know how fierce this bone of mine is,” at first I was anxious about this bone and the explosion to kill anyone passing by.

But gradually I started to see the real use of this. I could use this kind of bone as a mighty grenade.

Damn! Just imagining throwing these bones in the middle of a massive army fighting mine was enough to make me drool at using these in real wars.

“Lord… Are you possibly considering using these in wars?!!”

“What? Isn’t this beautiful? Come on, I can’t be the only one seeing its beauty.”

“But… This… It’s uncontrolled!”

“Don’t get panicked, we can time its use with my help.”

“Your help?” he looked at me in doubt, and I nodded while pointing towards my chariot and explained:

“With the help of my chariot and my portals, we can just jump over any army, appear in the middle of it, use these bones, then jump away towards safety.”

“Yet…”

“It’s a great strategy, a marvellous tool to incinerate all of my enemies and cause enough havoc in the middle of their ranks. Come on! The use of this little baby of mine is just boundless!”

“I know… But…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll even consider using it myself if you are afraid to be there.”

“I’m not!”

“Then stop speaking in such fear, shall you?” I rolled my eyes, “your lord is mighty, but I’m a human. How can you let a human be more courageous than you, a mighty Hescos?”

“…”

My words went deep down his soul and the insult I just underhandedly delivered left him speechless for hours. I cancelled the transformation that I gained as I stored the bone inside my inventory.

I tested its effects, and now I had to test out how long it would sustain its marvellous effects when not used. If it could be stored inside inventory for a long time, then it would be really practical to mass produce them before any fight.

Yet if it would expire soon, then I’d have to do it just in the middle of battles.

I kept watching my gigantic ball of fire for hours until almost half a day passed. Then gradually the fire started to shrink, until it vanished.

“Damn! The bone is still there!” And when the fire vanished, I went towards the location where everything started, my necromancer’s world.
