I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 24 - A Desperate Fight

"Howl!"

Just a few moments after I reached outside, I heard this loud howl coming from no one but the alpha of the wolves attacking here.

And it wasn't just one, but three more howl's answered from three more alphas.

"They are finally on the move," I clenched my fists before turning to look at the stupefied and scared remaining guards of Angelica. "Don't let anyone step into that room. Keep everyone in defensive positions and try to minimize the casualties."

Without waiting for their response, I started to dart towards the outside. "Get the hell out of my way!" The moment I reached the front, I started hitting any monster blocking my path.

The wolves were on retreat now. Four alphas summoned up their armies and seemed to run towards one direction.

I knew that Angelica was teleported ahead of the planned time, plus this teleportation skill was used by a weakened baby version of the hybrid monster.

That meant she didn't even reach the designated position by the angels. She was safe for now, that was something I was sure of.

But summoning four wolf armies wasn't a joke. Each consisted of hundreds of strong wolves which could smell any human from miles away.

They sent such strong monsters in tracking us down, and at the same time in such great numbers that meant they had to cover a large distance here.

But were they this wary of her strength? Or they wanted to make sure she wouldn't escape?

The more I thought about it the more determination I had to save her. I couldn't let such a mysterious person die, not before I knew everything.

Just as I started following the four armies, it was inevitable for me to get detected.

"Howl!"

"Growl!"

The wolves started to turn around in groups to attack me. However I wasn't planning on fooling around and took out Angelica's sword and started killing those monsters.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Just one hit from each sword was enough to kill each monster. I aimed from the start at their heads. Despite being overwhelmed with numbers, I knew I couldn't afford to waste time here.

But that made me feel tired fast. Just less than half a mile was crossed and I started to pant. "This won't do… Convert six thousand coins into stat points now."

This was my hidden card. So far I accumulated almost forty thousand coins from all the killing I did. I saved them till now so I could use them like this.

I didn't throw all the coins into stat points. After all, once converted I couldn't undo it. And my coin balance was really tempting to let go in such a way.

I still had more plans after this quest was over.

[You gained three stat points. You are free to allocate them at any stat you want]

"Open profile," I didn't hesitate and added the three points to my stamina. It was previously at ten, but now it has become thirteen.

Such an increase wouldn't only affect my ability to fight longer, but it would also increase the recovery rate of my stamina. I felt more refreshed before I continued hunting those wolves.

As I could see, the four armies dispersed in three directions while one army stayed behind to deal with me. I was alone, but it seemed they didn't want to risk my intervention.

"How can such a moron be an alpha?" as one army stayed behind to delay me, the best way to overcome it was by dethroning its alpha. "I dare you in a challenge."

"Howl!" The alpha was humiliated and as expected it started to run towards me. Other wolves cleared the way and let the two of us compete.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Using two swords seemed a bit problematic for me at first. But after handling so many wolves, I didn't find it hard anymore.

I knew there was a skill regarding double sword fighting, but it wasn't the time to think about it.

I exchanged blows with that alpha for a dozen times before I realized it was a bit stronger than the one I killed before.

"A higher tier? I can't permit you to delay me any further," I could already see the other groups moving further away from me while converging towards a certain point.

They must have found her. Without any hesitation I instantly added, "convert ten thousand coins into stat points."

[You have five stat points ready to allocate]

"Open profile," I instantly added three points into strength and two points into speed. The moment I did that, I felt more power gushing out from my body while my movement became smoother.

"Die!" I could now easily evade the attacks of that alpha and with my two swords I cracked open its skull.

[You killed tier two alpha monsters. You gained two thousand coins] the system message came but I wasn't that joyful yet.

Those bastards were closing in at Angelica. "Convert ten thousand coins into stats," without any hesitation I started to run while receiving my five stat points.

Just in the previous minutes I converted twenty-six thousand coins into thirteen stat points. This time I added the five points all into strength.

My strength stat which was previously stuck at ten turned now to be eighteen. It was like I doubled my strength this way, and that was for one purpose.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Just like a train smashing anything standing in its rail, I penetrated the three armies of wolves without even pausing for one second.

Like a bomb exploded here, all the wolves that I faced were thrown in the air, clearing out a wide path in front of me.

I didn't look back to see if they were dead or not. I only focused on moving forward with all my might.

"Howl!"

"Howl!"

Two alpha suddenly appeared in front of me, accompanied by dozens of strong looking wolves.

"Looking eager for a party? But I have to disappoint you… Bang! Bang!"

Without stopping even for one second, I kept advancing and met one alpha with one sword which threw it far away in the air.

And the other sword hit one of those guards around and it faced the same fate as its alpha.

They looked like all tier two monsters. But compared to my new strength stat, they looked pathetic. I didn't have to use my sword twice on any of them.

A fight that should be brutal and hard for a human in the first quest of the apocalypse turned into one sided massacre by my overwhelming strength.

"Bang!"

The last wolf was thrown away before I finally got to see what was going on at the front.

"This… There are even traitors here?!!"

The scene in front of me was really shocking! I came here thinking that only wolves would be the problem. But just upfront I saw a group of fifty humans surrounding one girl in the middle while trying to hit her.

I didn't need to use Angelica's compass to know their identities. Humans standing side by side with monsters to kill a human; they were the traitors.

"Good girl!" however it seemed we all underestimate this little girl. Just as they all gathered around her, a form of protective hemi-sphere surrounded Angelica and kept her safe. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"The ball of protection… Another surprising gear," my eyes couldn't mistake this basic form of such defensive gear. It was one time use of defensive gear but it was worth the high price.

The ball of protection once activated, no one could break it unless it had a strength stat double the defensive stat of Angelica.

"Considering she bought it from the market, that means she already raised her defensive stat."

"Howl!"

These wolves didn't let me watch this amazing scene in peace and came from the front. I slayed three out of four alphas, taking out three armies of wolves from the equation.

Only one army remained, and that was the one tightly surrounding the ball of protection in an attempt to crack it.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Just waving my swords around created a scene enough to make myself visible. Despite my earlier fights, the traitors here never thought I would catch up to them so soon.

"Kill him!" one of them pointed at me while the alpha of the wolves even responded to his call. It was strange, I never thought someone of the traitor would have an authority over the wolves.

But that wasn't the issue here. Just seeing all this arrangement from the enemies and the defensive preparations of Angelica made me crave more to get my hands on her.

She must be someone special to attract all this attention. I didn't even get such treatment from the angels yet.

But aside from me and the other person with the ability to rewind time, what possibly could she be?

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Despite being lost in thoughts, I started to hit the wolves coming at me with ease. The gap between our strength stats was immense. Even an alpha wouldn't stand a chance against me.

"Woosh!"

Just as I kept getting closer, a sudden appearance of a protective shield stopped me in track.

"You can't be serious!" Seeing two balls of protection being used in front me like this made my scalp numb.

Each ball of protection cost at least twenty thousand coins in the market. And that was the starting price of the auction. Two people had at least the same amount of coins as me to throw them away on a one time usage item was really unbelievable!

What the hell were these people? Were they the ones who got back from time and not me or what?

I looked at the semi-transparent surface standing between me and those fifty bastards. They were all well equipped, strangely sharing the same helmet Angelica wore before.

I could see their mouths tilting up as if they were confident in killing her and then me.

"Howl!"

"Go the hell," I wasn't in the mood to accommodate those wolves now. Unfortunately the alpha was standing inside that shield, away from my clutches.

"Did you call for reinforcements? Really? Just one man?" one of the traitors pointed at me while his loud voice was clearly audible. "Let's see how he will fare against all the armies around. Kol, use the horn."

"The horn?" I didn't know what that bastard meant but I knew it must be something bad.

A long drawn tone appeared so deep and loud from one traitor. He held a small bronze horn that seemed insignificant.

"The horn of leadership… Damn!" but I couldn't underestimate that horn at all. I instantly turned around and gave my back to the shield.

I wasn't worried much about them hitting me from behind. After all that shield was like a seal, no one could get in or out unless it was smashed.

"Now let's have a nice talk, my sweetie," the traitor who looked like their leader seemed to be confident in the ability of that move to kill me.

And so he turned his attention towards Angelica and I could only listen from outside.

The horn of leadership was a good gear to control scattered monsters. To be used one had to pay a hefty amount of coins each time according to the number of monsters called.

These monsters must be leaderless, and in disarray; just like the state of the three armies here.

And to make things worse, that traitor seemed to spend over a hundred thousand coins just now to summon all the scattered wolves of the three armies towards me.

Now I had to face almost two thousand wolves head on while they would find their way to crush the ball of protection of Angelica.

But would I let them do what they wanted? No f*cking way!
