I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

If I had to start a change in this deadly scheme, then I had to use the help of those who revolted against the angels.

As I recalled, Angelica once mentioned there were many like her, who revolted and defied the treacherous plan of the angels.

She also said these people were scattered all over the globe. If that was true, then we might have a chance here.

My top priority wasn't to dominate most of the emblems, but only slightly over five percent of them. With their help, I could make that impossible feat a reality.

[Why asking all of a sudden?]

I didn't know why but seeing her answer at this moment made me want to curse. [There is a big thing going on in the world and we need to act, move fast or else we are doomed]

[We will lose the quest?]

[We are going to be all dead if we don't move now!]

She paused for a few moments, as if she was shocked and trying to get better control over herself. I knew she wouldn't take me for an exaggerated type of a person. I was never one to begin with.

[Yes, I still have connection with them]

[Good, then listen…]

I started to narrate the story of the upcoming quest without revealing some points. For example I didn't say how I got to know all this. I also kept another simple detail hidden from her.

Whoever won more emblems at any city had the control over this city. If the city had a ruler, a lord, then he would obtain the right to challenge him. If not, like our universal case, then that person would become the lord directly.

When thinking back to this small detail, I got to know how the angels managed to bypass such a quest ahead of time despite all the odds against us.

The upcoming quest should be the one paving the path for races to appoint their city lords. If this small detail wasn't there, then passing this quest would become impossible.

Yet as this quest would serve both the higher controllers and the angels agendas, the two managed to come to some sort of agreement.

What I hoped for was that this quest would have more limitations to help humans survive. Or else even with the fifty scattered ex-traitors, things wouldn't become smooth as I planned.

[Damn! Those f*cking bastards!! Alright, leave it to me]

[Once done, make sure to gather everyone and start looking for emblems inside the park] I sent to her before adding, [the park is one of the main places in the Manhattan island. So you'll have to find at least one castle out there]

[We'll control it, don't worry] she sent, [What's after that?]

[Stay put and wait for my orders]

I didn't hurry to add more tasks to her. From knowing her for such a short time, I could tell a few things about her personality.

If I gave her another order, she would try to achieve both goals at the same time. Dividing the limited human forces I had wasn't wise. But that didn't mean I wouldn't use them later.

This quest would still have long hours to start. So at first they had to control one castle before doing anything else. The boost in stats gained from there would be enough to protect the few of them who would be stationed there.

Even if a weak human with zero battle experience like most of my forces back there, with the help of the castles they could become a force to be reckoned with.

The main threat wouldn't be from traitors or other human forces in the city, but from the monsters. Just like this castle here, the wolves came in such a domineering show to try and kill even the traitors.

That would happen all around the city in the next long hours. And that was one of the main reasons behind my decision to wait and not rush to divide my few forces up from the start.

The next thing I did was to warn the jumper. He was going further away with each passing minute. I needed him. His individual strength was far beyond any other human I had.

Yet if I asked him to go directly and claim one castle for me, it would be pointless and stupid. Even if he was so strong, he was just a single warrior.

In this entire city, and even in the entire world, I might be the sole human capable of attacking castles and fighting traitor armies and monster waves all alone.

So I gave him another task instead, and he understood my intentions without the need for me to explain or give reasons.

"Now, let's get this done with," as I finished my preparations, I shifted my attention totally towards that castle up ahead.

As the traitors from the inside shouted, a semi-transparent white shield appeared to encircle the entire castle and those inside. The shield looked thin, but I knew it was sturdy and hard to crack.

The shield came as a feature of the emblem. Without the need to really activate it, the emblem would give much help to forces inside the castle.

But who said such a shield was hard on me? C'mon, it was just a white grade shield, meaning the emblem inside was simply a white grade emblem.

"Come forth, my valiant dragons!" as they made their move, it was time for mine.

The next instant I brought out my main attack force; the dragons. Each dragon was enough to face a castle of a higher caliber and destroy its shield without much effort.

But it would take a long time to do so. According to my calculations, half an hour would take a single dragon to crack one white grade shield. But with four together… Humph, it would be a piece of cake without doubt.

"Go and kill all of them," I leisurely pointed towards the castle, "leave none alive!"

"Roar!"

The dragons roared in a mighty show. After all this was their first appearance in a battlefield after getting summoned by me.

I stood in the middle of my forces while watching the three towers starting to rain long arrows, rocks, and even boiling substances over the scales of the four dragons.

However… Who said dragons were a weak race? Not to mention my dragons were really invincible at such a stage of the apocalypse.

Not only their high levels, but with I gave them bones as well. These four dragons were like real embodiments of the god of death.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Crack!*

It didn't take longer than three minutes for their mighty dragon breaths to cause wide cracks all over the shield. At this point, those inside the castle would realize it was futile to resist, knowing how badly they messed up when they chose to betray humans.

"Fools! Aim for the summoner, he is the one we should kill!"

Just as the shield was about to burst open, a loud shout came from within. I had to admit, that person was really smart. Yet he was late in realizing what to do.

*Bang!*

Just as the total offense of the castle and its three towers rained down on me, the shield burst wide open. In fact I stood in the middle of my troops without the need to do anything.

I already was away from the attack range of most of their darts. As for those arrows who held enough momentum to reach me, my shield warriors were ready to deflect all of them.

*Roar!*

The dragons seemed to feel some humiliation from the reaction of the traitors. In their eyes, any foe in front of them should focus on them alone, and not anyone else.

So it was expected what happened next. The four dragons ventured inside the castle, spreading death violently with all means possible.

Despite their tyrannical attacks, they couldn't leave a single scratch over the castle or the towers. After all these were buildings summoned and supported by the system. They were far sturdier than the world itself.

In the span of five minutes, accompanied with constant screams of agony and death like an endless chorus, the castle was controlled smoothly and calmness prevailed next.

"Lord, all rodents were eradicated," one of the big dragons out of the four stretched out his head and spoke in a prideful tone.

Yeah, dragons were attentive to their image and pride. Never harm any dragon's pride, that would even bring you death. A lesson those traitors learnt in such harsh way indeed.

"Good job everyone," I said in applause, "come back and rest. We have a long ride up ahead."

In fact I was telling them to shut the hell up! I hated nothing like arrogance. So I took them back while going inside the castle with my forces.

The castle was much more spacious than it looked from the outside. Inside it a space spanning around half a kilometer square was enough to be filled with a large army indeed.

Yet the traitors' bodies left all over the place showed their mediocre number. Only two hundred one of them, just a weak force to stop me.

"Leave behind three Bulltors, five shield warriors, three healers, five archers and five magicians," I shouted while starting to collect my trophies. Yet I held little hope for this.

"Damn! Not a single one of them had a decent inventory!" After finishing collecting my share, and despite expecting a low result, I didn't expect it to be in such a way.

Only three of them had inventories with monster cores and gears. The rest had only coins, and it wasn't much to begin with.

Each one gave me almost one hundred coins, making me not know where to laugh or cry.

I expected that the moment I saw their numbers. Such a large number meant the angels of this city worked hard and recruited many humans as traitors after their disastrous defeat in the first quest.

What did that mean? Those traitors weren't that unique or outstanding to begin with. In addition to that, they didn't have time to level up or gain more support or kill enough monsters to fill their wallets and inventory.

Was my luck starting to shift towards the worse side now or what?

Taking down a deep breath was my only answer to this miserable loot.

I looked at the central part of the castle. A white diamond shaped, white emblem appeared half a meter floating above the ground. This emblem wasn't that big as I expected. A grown up man could encircle his arms around it with ease.

"Follow me," as I finished examining that emblem from a distance, I moved without going towards it. My sole mission was to just take the castles and not use the emblems.

As I walked out of the castle, I didn't forget to give short instructions to the forces I left behind. In my opinion, a single Bulltor was more than enough to defend the castle with the help of a few archers or magicians.

I didn't leave such a small force behind just to defend the castle. Besides if this continued, then the number of castles I would control in the end would fall short.

But I already had a plan to solve this.

*Howl!*

Just as I went outside, I found a swarm of wolves waiting for me. When I got control over the castle, not a single wolf dared to attack me. After all, I was so formidable without any boost or defensive advantage of the castle and towers.

"Listen up," I said, "Bulltors will encircle us with shield warriors… Other warriors stay inside and keep attacking.. Our main goal is to move fast across them, not to wipe them out."
