I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse
Chapter 99 - Tour Inside The Chariot"Have you finished reading its content?" The jumper came at this moment to attract my attention to a point, "let's go inside. I want to know what this beauty hides inside."
"You have stat points, right?" out of the blue I asked. His eyes narrowed while he seemed fishy towards my sudden question.
"Why ask all of a sudden?" He said, "don't think about robbing me! I'm warning you!"
"Consider it a fee for saving your as*," I didn't hide my intentions before pointing at my grand chariot and added, "this little shy girl here needs stat points to run. Or else she won't show us her strongest power."
"How so?" the jumper seemed to frown when hearing that. And I simply told him the price list of using this beauty.
"Damn!" he also cursed, "nothing comes without a price in this f*cking apocalypse!"
"Are you paying or what?" I rolled up my eyes, "after all I'm bringing my girl to save your neck. You should cover the expenses."
"Considering that…" he crossed his arms while thinking about this, "it's a waste not to witness her strongest power in play. But let's be realistic. If we consume too much then we will end up with her basic power, right?"
I nodded without saying anything. After all he had the call here for how much he should spend.
But who said he didn't have that much in his pocket? Even I, someone who just played for a couple days here, had almost enough stat points to run the intermediate form of this behemoth for twenty hours straight! Or the ultimate version of it for two hours!
I was sure if I dug deep enough into his inventory, I'd find enough stat points to run my girl for days!
"Let's do it this way then," yet he acted all wise, but in actuality he was stingy, "I'll provide enough stat points to run it in her intermediate mode first."
"So poor to run her in a full powered version?" I couldn't help but remark in a sarcastic tone.
"If you have the ability then be my guest," yet even my sarcasm didn't affect him, "or else we'll do it my way. I can activate her full powered version, but from another point of view, we can keep that as our final trump card here."
I got what he meant, but something deep inside my mind kept alarming at his stinginess.
"Alright," what else could I possibly do? After all, I still had my new warriors to elevate their levels, consuming more stat points from my reserve.
And this time I ended up running my beauty without paying a cent! It wasn't my loss in either case.
"Let's go," as I accepted what he offered, I went to the gigantic side of the war chariot.
Standing just there made me feel little! Even the doors of this chariot, which were four identical doors with a protruded engraving of a stunning dragon head, extended to reach over twenty metres in height and five metres in width.

"Sorry pal, I can't help," the jumper said from behind. I ignored his insincere reason and kept pulling the door until it finally budged open.
And then a flight of stairs appeared, thrice to be exact. Each seemed to head towards one floor of this chariot.
"Come," I motioned to my group to follow while I led them.
[Warning: intruders are detected]
But the moment they came near the opened door, a message popped up on my face.
[Human race: Spearhead is about to enter. Do you want to allow him safe passage? Or do you want to kick his ass?]
[Human race: Isabella is about to enter. Do you want to allow him safe passage? Or do you want to kick his ass?]
[Human race: Jumper is about to enter. Do you want to allow him safe passage? Or do you want to kick his ass?]
Three messages popped up and for a second I was tempted to kick that jumper's ass. But I accepted their safe passage. Who knew what brutal hit that chariot of mine would give for the already wounded jumper?
"Bring Karoline and Alex," I didn't forget about the two girls who were still lying unconscious on the ground.
Right now, and if we didn't even pay any stat points to my little girl, I could keep the chariot running on the ground while acting as my firm base.
For example, like now, I could let the two unconscious girls be inside the chariot without fearing for their safety or being burdened by them.
The design of this chariot was meant for giant people, not normal sized people like us. Each stair needed me to jump to cross to the higher stair, giving me a funny comparison when I imagined my Bulltors climbing these stairs with ease.
The first floor was really wide! There were no rooms, only one single big and luxurious looking hall. There were many seats, many tables, many portraits depicting dragons in various glorious moments of their race, and also many golden ornaments and a few treasures as well!
But unluckily for me, all the treasures here were bound to the chariot. I thought I could get a few and sell them into the market to get many stat points in return.
Wait… should I sell my bones in the Bringold interface in exchange for stat points? Or would that end up being my loss?
If someone told me before that I'd consider doing this, then I'd curse him, his father and mother, and up to his last ancestor!
But right now I was seriously considering that! I just didn't know how big the difference was between the three modes of the chariot.
If she could perform well in the basic form, then I wouldn't need to invest that much into her for now.
In the entire big hall, the most remarkable thing aside from the expensive ornaments everywhere were rounded platforms that were slightly higher than the ground.
Each platform was around five metres in radius. On the two long sides of the chariot, dozens of such platforms were there, while on the shorter sides there were five platforms only.
Each platform was against one big window, meaning they were meant for defence.
"This place…" Isabella came and stood by my side, with a shocked and disbelieving look on her face.
"Amazing, right?" the spearhead jumped again and at this moment I couldn't help but roll up my eyes and give him a warning glance.
Dude… Stay your hands off my girl for now. I didn't approve of you coming closer to her!
"Let's go up," as there was nothing else to do here, I led the others up through a circular built patterned stairs around a central golden pole.
The next level was filled with small rooms, looking like a resident for those guards inside the chariot. I could count at least ten rooms, each five metres long and six metres in width. And there was a narrow corridor between the rooms, with two cleared zones from the sides of the chariot.
Also the previous platforms were there.
"This might be a good place to leave the girls at," the jumper suggested and I nodded. Karoline was carried by Isabella and Alex by Angelica, and the two were selected to random rooms and placed the girls over the beds inside.
"Let's go," as the two girls were securely left in here, we all went upstairs again.
And this time we found something interesting.
"This…" the third floor was also like the first, a single wide hall. But unlike the first floor which seemed to be like a welcoming place for visitors, this floor was more like an arsenal.
"That dude… He was too generous to leave such gears here!"
Swords, spears, bows, and even shields and armours… everything were neatly organised in big piles on the ground of this hall.
"Wow! But they all look big," Isabella jumped around, seemingly happy about all these gears. She adjusted her glasses, while adding, "can I take this sword?"
It was really like a spear not a sword compared to her body, but I simply nodded.
And everyone moved and selected whatever they wanted, except for the jumper who didn't bat an eye when he saw all these gears.
I knew that dude was rich, much richer than I. But according to my plans, this big hall filled with gears here was simply perfect!
All the warriors I gained could now come here and be equipped with any gear they wanted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Let's go," after everyone selected what they desired, we started to go to the roof.
Isabella picked up that giant sword that looked more like a spear and walked by my side. The spearhead selected a chained metallic ball, a couple of them actually, giving him such a terrifying look when the length of each chain was extending for almost three metres!
As for Angelica, she picked up a pair of knives, curved and looking like a dagger compared to the giant size of the dragons, looking like suitable curved swords compared to her body size.
The roof was open in the air, as fresh air welcomed us. There were many seats, platforms in different sizes and heights, and also the towers.
Also there was a central rounded movable platform, seemingly connecting the roof with the floor below to move on armaments when needed.
"This flagpole…" the jumper stopped at the long black flagpole that extended for ten metres up to the sky, carrying a flag with a dragon head on its end. "We need to change that! We need a flag of our own."
"Don't look at me," he said the last words while gazing up at me, and I simply shrugged, "I suck at drawing."
"You are our boss," Angelica came to my side, leaning at me while intentionally twisting her body in a tempting motion, "you shall decide our flag."
"Leave it for later than that," I escaped from her while running to the foremost edge of the chariot. There I saw something that attracted my attention.
"This glaive… It looks deadly!" I stood by another flagpole that wasn't a flagpole at all. A long and heavy looking golden glaive was inserted in a hole that seemed to be made specifically for it.
I tried to hold it, but all I could do was to raise it with my two arms before it took me and my body down. "Damn! It's so heavy!" I couldn't help but take it inside my inventory for now.
When I had my strength stats raised, or even opened up my cultivation path, I'd surely use this glaive.
Its sharp curved long edge was enough to scare any enemy of mine! And it extended for almost six metres in length, enough to be used for long attacks.
As for its sharp edge, it extended for over a metre! It was a beast! I was sure of it.
"Now," Isabella was still playing with her two spear-like swords, "what should we do?"
"We should go and crush that castle upon their heads!" the spearhead said in a vicious tone while waving his two deadly chained balls.
"Even with this chariot, we can't beat them," but the jumper shook his head, "we are five, and if we added your warriors, we won't even come close to a one hundred force! And they are in thousands!"
"One second," as he mentioned my warriors, it was time to bring another shock to them.
"Come forth my warriors!"
Without hesitating, I summoned my newly acquired seventy-five warriors. I didn't worry about the spaciousness of the place, after all this chariot was really looking like a fortress!
*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*
In a sequence of seemingly never ending flashlights, the seventy-five warriors appeared with their giant bodies.
And when I looked at their outer appearances, I couldn't help but gasp out of immense surprise!
Their bodies showed clearer changes than before! Before their bodies were wrapped tight in their muscle thin bundles, with fog coming out from their joints only.
