I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

The more I thought about it, the more I saw hope. I also got my board artefact, and my other cards like my technique and cube.

"I can use my bubble tactic, either by throwing inside explosive bones to keep the enemies inside busy or killing them. I also can use my bubbles to disturb the enemy lineup formation, breaking any strong and formidable armies into shreds… And in the middle of any mess, I could just wait on the side, hunt for chances and opportunities the moment they'd present themselves to me…"

This was a very good tactic to be honest. Like this, I'd start off using defensive measures, either to trap, kill, or even disturb the enemy ranks.

Then by doing so, the enemy would lose their cool, and the end result would be quite expected for sure. The enemy who thought he got me in his fingers would panic and lose much of control over his plan and forces.

And when that would happen, mistakes would present themselves. And all I got to do was to just lay in wait, and take advantage of any chance once it presented itself.

I got many offensive cards, and they were enough to cover up most if not all scenarios that would pop up at such a battle.

"The only drawback of this is the time consumption… This plan is good but it will handle things slowly for sure. But… I have no other choice, right?"

I wanted to strike like lightning, quite deadly and fast. I planned to land over my enemies, hit them hard, seek the bombs, and extract them as fast as possible.

But with this new tactic, doing things this way wouldn't follow such a set up. I got to accept a major delay in doing all this. And in return for that, I got to do this on two different steps.

The first move shouldn't be to look for bombs, but to look for the ways the enemy would use to trigger and activate them. I didn't need to take down everything, but destroying most of their preparations was enough to delay them greatly.

And like this, I'd buy more time for me to do the second task, looking for bombs and extracting them.

*Rumble!*

Just when I was lost in my thoughts, a weird flashing light appeared, before a loud rumbling occurred.

And this was just the first sign, and then many rumblings and explosions started to come one after another.

"Damn! It's starting already!" I checked, and the entire ground was shining in a weird golden light. It seemed like something was about to happen, like a volcanic eruption that would sweep away the entire zone I was in.

[It's happening! The merge is happening!]

[Chill out already! Aren't you old enough to not get surprised by such things?] I sent it in response to Lily's message.

Of course I knew the merge was happening at this zone. And that meant I could start moving out once it was done.

[I'm just excited about the start of the big and final war, dummy!]

[Humph! As if you are the one who is going to do the most troublesome task here] I turned my eyes towards the bombs that I defused before, and started to store them inside my inventory.

[We are also going to fight! And it will be an epic one, one that would make great tales for our kids]

[Your kids! Girl, don't add me to your family!]

[Tsk! As if I'm interested in you or something!] I knew she got something for me, but she was still acting aloof and arrogant, refusing to admit it, [You already got your girls! Hilary! Angelica! What do you want me for? Just adding one more girl to your long list of admirers and lovers?]

[Let's continue such talk later on] I had to avoid speaking about such a topic, [As if we didn't even try each other out before!]

[Bad boy! You are indeed a bully! I'm going to do my stuff, better than speaking to someone like you!]

I closed the chat with her while laughing. If she was in front of me right now, I was sure her face would grow all red out of embarrassment.

This girl… What a fine girl she was! If not for my curse, I'd go and secure her for myself without any hesitation.

However, as she got her stuff to do, I also got mine. I first checked on the situation inside my inventory.

"I got tons of bones… But I never got dull or bored from these. More bones meant more power, more opportunities… I hope to have some spare time, go around and collect bones from all over the place at some point…"

I got not only bones, but lots of other stuff that I never found any use for. Things like gears were pretty damn useless to me. Aside from these, I also got tons of useless monster materials out there.

I used to crave for these materials when I was at the early days of the apocalypse. Damn! It felt like this happened a long time ago, as if this was another lifetime, for someone that didn't belong to me.

Putting these aside, I looked at the more useful tokens. I got tons of these, and despite seeing such an insane amount of them, I still felt like this wasn't enough.

"Hey dude, how long is this merge going to take?"

[Why are you asking me? Do you take me for your secretary or what?]

"Clever higher up, big shot dude indeed," I laughed, teasing that dude, "I want to know how long I have before the start of the big war."

[Tsk! I don't know why fate decided to give us such an annoying dude! And from a no named race on top of that!]

"Can't you just simply answer me and let the two of us handle our things then?"

[Alright, it will take ten hours]
