I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I was already laying flat on my back over the big shield of my warrior. The shield wasn't that huge, but it was enough to take the three bodies of us sticking side by side.

Once I laid myself there, I closed my eyes and tried to gather up my strength. My only concern was to prepare for the upcoming fight that was inevitably waiting for me on the other side of the river.

But it never crossed my mind that the moment I opened my eyes, I would be met with another challenge. And this one was deadly enough to scare the sh*t out of me!

I saw it, a grand shining star in the middle of the dim gloomy sky. Yes, it was it, it was that notorious star weapon of the angels.

A brand shining f*cking red light appeared in the depth of such greyish lifeless colour of that f*cking sky!

These angels!! They proved they were on another level from the ones I faced at New York city.

But there was no time to waste now. I didn't know how long that thing was shining. Damn! It would be the end of me if they activated it the moment we got out of the tunnel!

But they couldn't! Even if they were meticulous and so calculative, they wouldn't be able to mark the place they should aim at! Or else they would basically aim at the centre of the whirlpool, as if that f*cking whirlpool wasn't enough to kill me in the first place!

"Hey, wake up! Wake up!"" The first thing I thought about was Karoline. She had that unique ability which could simply counter that deadly star weapon aiming at us.

But no matter how hard I shook her, she didn't show any response at all! Even her lips started to turn slightly purple, a dangerous sign! It was a dangerous sign indeed!

Yes, I was just lacking more trouble so come on and add one over my broad shoulders!!!

"What should I do now?" It wasn't time to lose my sh*t here! I had to adapt, deal with such a disaster with whatever I had.

But the question was… What did I have to stop or make me and the girls, at least, survive that deadly weapon?

"Trying to kill me using your weapons? Alright… Pretty much good… I would like to match this with my own arsenal of warriors then!"

If the angels went this far to kill me, then why shouldn't I match their craziness then? Of course I lacked that kind of a big trump card to turn on tables at times like these, but that didn't mean I was out of options.

However at this critical life and death moment, I realised the immense importance of having something OP.

"Come forth my mighty dragon!" As things reached this point, I summoned my strongest asset. The dragon appeared just next to me, but who said water could stop dragons?

*Roar!*

He didn't take much time to soar higher in the air. I didn't have the luxury to marvel at his amazing scene. Water splashed over his body while he broke the surface in a big momentum, flapping his wings until he was outside of the water.

Just as I summoned him, I had another thing to do.

I hurriedly opened my market. And luckily those bastards didn't go to the length of locking it up. I didn't have time to search manually and simply typed the first name that popped in my head.

[The Goliath cable isn't available yet to your current level]

"Damn!" I cursed but didn't stop there. One name after another was written in the search bar. I didn't stop at any message like the first one I got, I never stopped at any rejection.

Until I finally found something I could work with.

[The commonwealth silk robe: rare item. Can be considered thin, but it's durable. Can withstand a force over ten tons, and a pressure over one ton]

I didn't hustle and instantly bought it using its buyout price. I didn't only buy a single one, but an entire patch. After all, I needed it later to get out of these deadly waters.

The silk was thin as described, in the thickness of my middle finger. But it was long enough to exceed ten metres. I didn't take it out to examine, but moved my lead weighted body over. I even crawled on the surface of the shield, even had to jump over the two unconscious girls.

I knitted the silk to the four tapering ends of the shield before I threw it over to the dragon. "Catch!" I shouted and the dragon compiled by grabbing its end with his sharp claws.

"Careful there," I warned out of my worry. I knew the description said this silk was kind of tolerable, but I didn't want to risk anything here.

All this happened in a few blinks of an eye. At the same time, I kept my vigilance while watching the red bright light at the depths of the high up sky. And it was getting brighter with each passing second!

It was almost on the verge of launching! Those damn angels! They activated the simple version of that weapon, targeting smaller areas with it at the cost of having it launch faster!

If there was a way to make it instantly fire, I'd bet they would have selected it without doubt.

"Go there now!" I didn't even look and pointed in the opposite direction of that deadly whirlpool. Even if I had to keep going into the Hudson river, I would accept that for now to survive.

"Grab the shield," I didn't forget my warrior, "tightly grab it!" and as I warned him, I also jumped over the two girls and used my entire body to pin them and myself over the shield.

I extended my two arms and legs, tried to grab the edges of the shield even with my teeth. I would do anything to not fall over. After all, the one who was going to drag this shield wasn't a simple warrior, but a dragon.

*Roar!* The dragon seemed to feel the pressure and imminent threat as he roared and moved like an arrow towards the direction I pointed towards.

And the fun ride over the water started at this moment. The shield acted like a big surfboard.

The silk was really tough! It withstood the pulling pressure of my dragon and didn't break even at the hardest first pull. The dragon was attentive to not fly high or else he would carry us over water and we would have fallen.

*Splash!* *Splash!*

Yet this came on the cost of the violent crushing water waves from the river. I held my place over the girls and managed to stabilise their bodies after the first impact.

But things wouldn't end here. The next moment all I could see was a giant pillar of bright red light falling like a downfall from the sky over water.

We were already outside its immediate attack point, but that didn't mean we were safe yet.

*Rumble!*

The entire world went into a strange and very heavy long moment of silence before a mighty rumbling noise erupted. The river seemed to revolt as if a volcano just erupted underneath it.

Then the aftermath of that deadly attack hit us with a grand wave one after another like a tsunami.

"Pull faster," as we reached this point, I lost any hope of withstanding those waves and remained together after that. So I had to shout, risking it all, giving it all.

"Come forth my dragons!" as it reached this far, I summoned my two other dragons before I issued them one single order, "fly on top of me, stop any wave from coming here!"

Yes the waves were like gigantic walls drawing closer to me, but I had my way to fight this.

I didn't need to crush the entire waves and stop them, I only needed my dragons to pierce through them using their breaths and create a gap, wide enough to miss me, my shield, my warrior, and my girls.

*Roar!* *Roar!* *Roar!*

Three roars appeared simultaneously. The first dragon accelerated, I even felt the shield being lifted on the surface of the water, creating a cushion of air acting like a soft bellow underneath it.

The two other dragons started to release their breaths like shooting stars one after another. The two remarkably worked together, synchronising their attacks to come one after another and not together.

I didn't have extra attention to pay for their breaths or watch their devastation to the waves. All I could hear was mighty explosive sounds coming, and as the first couple waves passed by me I knew my plan worked.

Now all that was left was to keep going like this until that damn weapon would stop and the river would cool down.

Just as three minutes passed, I already could breath and feel at ease. I looked at the waves coming and was delighted to realise that each dragon breath was strong enough to create a big hole not only in one wave but in five at least.

"We can do it!" I tightened my grip over the edges of the shield and already could hear myself heaving a sigh of relief.

Yet just at this moment, I heard something strange. A sound that didn't make sense appeared as if something was traversing the air in mighty speed, drawing closer to me in frightening speed.

*Swoosh!*

I just had the time to raise my head towards the left before I saw a ray of bronzed light passing like a comet. The next moment all I could hear was a painful loud crying roar of one of my two protective dragons, before a fountain of pale golden red blood gushed out and covered even my eyes.

"This…" I saw it, I saw what came all this way, slammed my dragon and managed to penetrate his sturdy scales and create such an ugly wound to him.

"A ballista!" I turned to the other shore, the shore of Jersey city. There I saw a gigantic ballista that was made from a strange golden and silver coloured ores.

It spanned for at least twenty metres, making it like a giant truck and not a mere ballista! Behind it I saw many dark silhouettes, but familiar shadows were recognised instantly by me.

"Gollems! Those f*king Golems are here!"

I couldn't miss their gigantic bodies even from such a distance. And that was pretty much expected. To operate such a massive weapon, a behemoth was needed, and also a group of them!

"Disperse!" I first assessed with haste the injury of my dragon. Luckily my dragons had a terrifying level to begin with. So the dragon sustained the hit and didn't die from it.

Yet the wound looked ugly. It was the size of my closed fist, so deep that it was releasing big amounts of blood with each passing second.

Yet it wasn't the time yet to look for something and stop that bleeding. As I used my far away vision skill I could see another big arrow was getting pulled by five behemoths like Gollems, prepared to release it towards another dragon.

So the wise thing was to make them disperse! Calling them back wasn't an option! The weapon was still firing, and it would last for two more minutes.

The waves were still roaring and drawing fast towards me. One simple slip and we would get submerged by such violent force and would get separated.

I could already see a lot of archers on the side of that ballista. Most of them were humans, dirty filthy traitors! Gosh! I just wanted to instantly teleport there and kill them with both hands!

Yet there were few who belonged to a couple other races.. They weren't dragons or Selvators for my luck, the much weaker werewolves and kobolds.
