I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"I wish you could see your face right now, hahahaha! You really feared it wouldn't work, hahahaha!"

The jumper was this close from falling on the ground. This bastard was the most amused one among others by this silly joke.

"You played me this time… Good, very good," I clenched my jaws before adding, "forget about the promise I gave to all of you. Let's see how you'll fight without my warriors!"

"Come on! We were just joking!" Sara said amidst her laughs, not appearing any sincere at all.

"That's not funny!" I put a cold expression over my face, "let me first hear everything you got before deciding how to punish all of you."

Of course I was joking and toying with them. They dared to pull such a prank at such a time. And something told me the jumper was the one behind this silly move.

"Well… We tested and found these results…"

As I demanded, Lily started to give me a full report on the results she found.

First the merging theory worked! And the results weren't as I expected, but they were close.

Using two blue bones was equal to using one group of silver bones at one star array. But the energy consumption rate was much higher than when using the silver bones.

For example, the silver bones could remain for days while the blue bones would last for one day only. However when combining two arrays together, the duration wouldn't exceed two days.

Like this the other grades worked. I didn't care that much for the increased consumption rate. I craved the combined effects of the bones, and that was what I got.

As for the high consumption rate, it didn't matter that much to me. I had tons of silver, blue, and green bones in my inventory.

At the same time, trying to merge more than two star arrays also worked. But the consumption rate kept increasing to make the increase in the bones' duration not that significant after merging two arrays together.

That meant if I wanted, I could use four or even five star arrays with green graded bones to yield the same results of the silver grade bones. And if I merged ten of the star arrays, then the effect would be equal to the fine gold bones.

To bring the same effects of the dark gold bones, Lily said that twenty arrays made out of green bones or fifteen with blue bones would be enough.

This news was great for me. First the green and blue bones were endless and seemingly quite useless to me right now.

Aside from the times when I needed to increase my energy and started to absorb bones for energy, green bones would be left to dust in my inventory.

So when I heard about a way to use these bones in my star arrays to yield better results, I wasn't sad or depressed.

Even if I had to, spending one hundred times on blue and green bones wasn't an issue for me.

As for the problem of short duration of combining the arrays, it didn't matter that much as well.

For me, such a thing wasn't even considered a problem.

The second most important piece of news was the effectiveness of the tattoo idea in activating the five layers of the star array.

According to Lily, she tested a lot and realised that a sequence of order should be followed to yield better results.

The first and second layers techniques didn't need to be activated in sequence. But if they wanted to activate the higher layers effects, they got to activate layers in order or else it wouldn't work.

I got a detailed report filled with many numbers and data regarding the time each layer would consume from different bone grades.

I couldn't keep track of such complicated things, and decided to leave such stuff for my generals to handle.

Then it came down to more detailed reports about the expected effects of each layer on the Silence race.

Of course such results were just hypothetical, but they just built their estimation on the old data I received about the percentage of effect of my silver bones over them.

I got tons of detailed data about the reach, duration, expected damage result of each layer used, and on top of that the expected amount of bones of each grade if we decided to go all out and defend the entire places using these star arrays.

In addition to that, I also learnt about the time needed for each star array to get activated based on different bone grades.

The shortest for sure was a star array built using green bones. They only needed three minutes and would be activated. The blue bones would take five minutes and silver bones would take fifteen.

To me, using green and blue bones proved to be quite worthy.

"Ok, we will do it this way then…" after thinking about everything, I made up my mind and told them about my decision.

"We are going to use the green and blue bones first," I slowly said, "I want you to train your soldiers to make up and use the combined arrays in the shortest possible time. I will provide each general with enough blue and green bones to activate these arrays for many years to come. As for you two, you will be equipped with different grades of bones, enough to satisfy your needs in your vital role."

"What role?" I just realised that I was the only one who knew about the role I selected for these two generals of mine.

"You will lead your forces and crush the enemy," I slowly said before adding the most serious part, "and you'll push your way towards the enemy's main worlds."

"This…"

"Do you mean the worlds they sent forces from?"

The two faces slightly changed when they heard my words. I didn't feel fear, but simply surprise and shock.

They asked me before to take their forces and start heading towards the enemy backline. However the thought of going even towards the enemy worlds never crossed their minds before.
