I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

[Just come at the portal region, and you'll see it yourself]

I closed the chat, went towards East, selected a place that was the voice of any forces. It was close to a few hundred miles away from the portal region, the distance needed for me to cross to arrive at a place without forces there.

My forces were just messing the entire region here. And I couldn't help but feel sorry for her and other generals, but that was their job.

Even if I did such a thing without thinking much about the consequences, without proper reasons, they should just deal with this mess. That was their job.

And luckily for them, I got portals that would save all this mess soon enough, and win this war for me.

I stopped there and waited for Lily to arrive. I sent her a message, giving her directions from the central place of this zone.

In less than half an hour, she approached fast from far on her chariot. Seeing her chariot coming made me feel more pain inside.

I could easily ask Silverlining about sending me a special chariot or something, but I didn't. To me, it wasn't just missing a weapon, it was like missing part of the family.

So I'd wait for it to get repaired, instead of purchasing a new one.

"I see you didn't get your chariot back yet," and as she arrived, she said such a casual and yet bloody painful comment.

"Let's not speak about this," I tried to control my face, but I was sure I showed something sad. Her eyes went wide when she noticed my reaction, as if this was the first time for me to show any sadness over losing something or someone.

Didn't I mourn before over the loss of Karoline? Hilary? Or what?

"So leader, what's the plan?"

"Do you have the map? The one detailed one that I once gave to you?" I asked, and she simply took a large piece of paper out.

"We copied it for all of us to have one, and this is yours."

"Great, get yours out then and follow my steps," I didn't instantly inform her about anything, just accepted the map, kept it open on the ground, and took two rubber balls out.

According to old Gan, each ball contained lots of others hidden inside it. I didn't get how he did it, but if he was right, then this ball would enable us to open thousands if not tens of thousands of portals in a single direction if we wanted to.

But I wasn't going to do it right now. "Just watch what I'm doing, and when I'm done, ask whatever you want."

"Ok…" she seemed to want to ask lots of questions, but she didn't. And as she stood on the side, watching in silence, I started to activate these balls the same way old Gan told me about.

It was simple. I just got to inject my spiritual energy into the balls, imagine the entire world's map, then focus over a certain area.

I knew why old Gan warned me about using this tech in opening portals towards areas with incomplete detailed maps. I got to focus like I was seeing the entire world from space, falling down, getting closer to a region, before finally landing there.

I got to keep imagining the area and the surrounding regions in great detail. It was like someone coming from space, getting closer. I'd see the world in a general view, then the closer I got to the region I wanted, the more details I'd see.

Missing any details, especially at the place I wanted the portal to open at and the adjacent areas, would end up with this portal opening randomly at any place, or even fail.

I already selected a continent, and then memorised all the details related to a place there. It was a very open space, with towering mountains lining it from three sides.

It was like a pocket, a gigantic pocket. It was well protected, very vast, and it was in the middle of this continent.

It was perfect for my forces to arrive there and start expanding around. And that meant I'd turn that place into the main base of operations on that continent.

Of course I planned to open other portals at various places in each continent, but having such a well protected place was best suited to be a base.

I kept injecting my spiritual energy, and there I got why old Gan warned me about this condition.

The amount of my spiritual energy getting inside this ball was immense, but it didn't show any sign of activation yet.

I didn't know where I was initially, I didn't know where ground zero was on this grand map. So I couldn't tell how much distance it was between me and that place.

"Screw it!" I tried to activate the ball for half an hour using my spiritual energy, and I already stepped into the second grand cultivation base, and yet it wasn't enough.

It seemed the distance between here and the place I wanted to go was indeed quite huge. So instead of wasting time, I took out lots of normal bones, scattered them around, started to absorb them, then got that energy through my body towards the ball in my right hand.

"Is everything alright?" from the side, Lily couldn't help but ask.

"It's ok," I said, as I started to release the immense energy inside that ball. And for a few minutes, it kept silent, then magic started to show its fierce and amazing signs.

The ball that was in my hand suddenly exploded out, and tons of similar balls appeared in the air. All were the same in colour and appearance, all but one.

I grabbed one fast, the one that was shining with bright golden light. And the moment I took it, other balls suddenly moved fast, merged together and another ball appeared before falling to the ground.

"This…"
