I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 62 - Dragons!

[Class quest: Survival is finished]

[Your assessment is rare]

[You gained three levels at your class]

[Your current class level is level three]

[You have enough soul points to advance your class]

[You gained ten class points]

[Class specific market interface is now unlocked for you]

[Class specific skill: Soul sense skill is now upgraded and you got ten sense stat points]

I hurriedly opened my soul sense skill but I found no difference there. That was weird until I got the meaning behind the upgrade.

”So I got ten soul stat points as an upgrade… Not bad,” I knew my skill didnʼt play any role at all at the last battle thanks to my insignificant sense stat. But now… I could easily crush any opponent and monster.

It wasnʼt only limited to that, but the range of the soul sense skill increased to cover up ten meters radius around me.

It was before zero, making the range not practical at all.

As I got this upgrade that I deserved, I opened the market interface and examined the newly added class specific market.

In fact I didnʼt expect much at first. However later on I found something interesting. Out there I found a few items sold that I instantly recognized, bones similar to the ones I got from the dragons.

The higher one was silver in grade and was sold in an auction starting with one hundred class points. I didnʼt know what value these points were but that made me think about these bones.

”The explanation about the bones said that I have to use soul points to use them… This one is a gold vertebral bone which needs one hundred soul points to be integrated.”

I took that small golden bone shimmering in golden light and examined it for a brief second. I opened my class details and was shocked to see the number of soul points I had there.

”Twenty-seven thousand soul points… Thatʼs enough, more than enough.”

I was elated as I understood the meaning behind the systemʼs message about the soul points I had. Using one thousand soul points was enough to increase my class by one level.

As I was currently at the third level, I only needed seven thousand soul points to reach level ten. I could spend all my points and reach level thirty, but would it be worth it?

I still had to check the effect of these bones I had in my inventory.

”Use seven thousand soul points and make the class advance to level ten,” I said with expectations, while waiting for the next level of my class.

I had to admit, the first phase of my class was really disappointing. What was the use of absorbing souls and storing them? It didnʼt make any sense!

[Congratulations! Your class has been advanced]

[Soul master class: Rank: Hidden. Grade: Heaven. Level: 10]

[Second stage is opened for you to use: The grade of soul merge]

[Each time you kill a living being, youʼll be able to absorb his soul. The absorbed soul wonʼt reincarnate or be revived by any means]

[Storing one hundred souls will allow you to raise all your stats by one point]

[Storing one thousand souls will let you upgrade the level by one]

[You can decide to sacrifice five thousand souls and merge them together. The merge will yield a soul monster thatʼs totally loyal to you. The monster will be one resembling the souls used in its formation. If you used more than one origin of the soul, a new species will be developed]

[The newly merged monsters will be loyal and follow your orders. They can be stored inside your inventory. They will possess zero stats and will need you to spend stat points to increase their stats. The rise of the stats will follow the same rules of the warrior section]

[There is no limit to the number of the monsters you can merge]

[Death of the monster you merged will result in entering it into a dormant stage. Each monsterʼs dormant stageʼs duration differs according to the strength of the monster and the number of deaths it suffered before. The higher the deaths the longer the duration. The stronger the monster the longer the duration. You can use soul points to shorten the duration as follows: for each day youʼll need to spend five hundred soul points] [Upgrading the class level to reach level fifty will open the next stage of the class for you]

All of sudden I saw a bottomless pit! That pit was formed entirely of soul points. Now I desire more than ever to face herds of monsters like before and keep fighting and killing till I store millions or even tens of millions of souls.

What did that new advance mean? It was groundbreaking! A game changer, a real game changer!

Yeah, this was fitting such a brutal class. Now I could see why everyone acted fervently and brutally towards this class. It was a class out of this world.

Gaining the ability to merge souls and make monsters? Most of the souls came from regular monsters, but they were also dragonoid ones. They were better than the normal monsters.

Plus I already absorbed the souls of the dragons I killed. Wouldnʼt the souls of the real dragons be more tyrannical than the souls of the dragonoid monsters?

Both shared the same bloodline at least. So the end result would be something in between the two, yet far stronger than the normal dragonoid monster.

It was a shame that I only had twenty thousand soul points remaining. It was just enough to summon four monsters only.

Yet that wasnʼt the end of my bottomless pit. The stat points began to be a real headache for me.

I knew that my current wealth of stat points was more than enough to turn those monsters into tyrannical existences like my other warriors.

But what about later? I needed to find a way to replenish my storage of the stat points.

”I got half of those kidsʼ inventory… I hope they have good things there,” as I recalled this, I started to check the inventory with anticipation and slight worry.

Just as I hoped, my current storage of stat points swelled up. From the remaining few thousand stat points I now had roughly one hundred thousand stat points.

That made me quite relieved. At least I wouldnʼt dare to worry for now. Yet that wasnʼt a good solution.

Everything here was based on balance. As I got my channel and made a small fame for myself, I had also suffered from another angle that I didnʼt care about before.

My enemies would realize how dangerous I was. So they wouldnʼt recklessly send their people after me from now on.

Even if they did, it was expected to make them dump their inventory before leaving out for me. This way they wouldnʼt lose a lot if I won.

”Let me deal with things one problem at a time,” I looked up at my thirty million something coins and felt more reassurance. The only guaranteed way of getting stat points was from the market and auctions.

With such wealth, I could easily gain at least fifty thousand stat points. And if I sold most of the useless items in my inventory, then that number might be doubled or even tripled.

At this point I felt delighted by my earlier decision. Despite the fact that I only acted based on greed, the monster drops coming from almost thirty thousand monsters wasnʼt a small figure.

As my warriors hadnʼt returned yet, I had nothing else but to try this new merging ability of my class. I had high expectations for this ability, but I also tried not to hope for too much.

”Use the soul points,” I slowly said, ”all of them and summon four monsters now!”

[You have twenty thousand soul points]

[You can merge them and get four monsters]

[Detecting dragon bloodline in the souls absorbed]

[Forming four new monsters based on the preferences of the souls and their strength]

*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*

Just like a flash, four big monsters appeared in front of me. From the first look, these four monsters looked quite the same as if they came from the same species.

Each one was around five meters in height, with small faint purple scales covering up their entire bodies. They had strong claws, two broad wings, and one long tail that made their lengths exceed ten meters easily.

The scales covered almost one third of their tales. As for their eyes, they were big, rounded with purple flashing lights emanating from them.

They looked at me in slight confusion, just like babies coming out from their eggs for the first time and seeing their mother. One by one they lowered their heads and made a gesture like they were declaring their loyalty to me.

I was excited! Just from the air they each emanated I could tell they were stronger than my warriors. Even the Bulltos wouldnʼt give the same dangerous air as these four.

”Master!” ”Master!” ”Master!” ”Master!”

Four hoarse voices came just as if their throats were all made up from mechanical parts. Yet their ability to speak overthrew my expectations and made me shocked.

One had to know that normal monsters werenʼt that intelligent. The ability to speak was considered one of the highest signs of high intelligence, roughly only limited to evolved races just like those dragons I killed.

To have four of them talking meant that I hit the jackpot! These monsters werenʼt just dull and dummy like others, but they had their own level of intelligence.

Also when I thought about advancing them using stat points, I couldnʼt help but suck a cold air of breath. The intelligence stat would allow them to become more intelligent, and gradually as they advanced and became stronger they would become more like the real dragons.

Wait a second… Did that mean I got four real dragons as my servants? Damn! That was simply unbelievable!

”Do you know what skills you have?” This was the first thing that popped into my mind.

”Answering my master,” one of them took the initiative to speak, leaving a good impression inside me, ”we donʼt have any skills for now. But when advancing, we can obtain skills hailing from the purple bloodline high dragons.”

”High dragons? Damn!!” despite not knowing what purple dragons meant, but I could expect this to be related to that arrogant dragon and his entourage that I killed.

Regardless of that, having the high dragon bloodline was a real treasure! Now I was sure about my earlier assumptions. Giving these dragons time and letting them advance, theyʼd eventually turn into real dragons one day.

”Come, take these stat crystals and orbs and use them to advance your stats,” impatiently I took out many large and small crystals and left them on the floor.

They gazed up at me in a weird way. ”Donʼt be humble, cʼmon, take them and distribute them equally. I want you to grow stronger fast.”

Each stat crystal was enough to give each five thousand stat points, and I took one for each dragon. Their shocked reactions were all normal.

”But master… we only need to advance the stats by ten points each to upgrade one level,” the one who spoke before said in hesitation as if he feared I didnʼt know the real value of these precious stones.

”Take them, I already have more with me.”

I wasnʼt acting arrogant, but regarding stat points I would now be considered a tycoon. Despite spending slightly over thirty thousand stat points just now over them, I knew it was worth it.

As they got my confirmation, they didnʼt act humble anymore. As they got the stat crystals and orbs, I noticed a sudden change in their auras.

The dangerous air they emitted before was just lingering around their bodies. But now? At first a strong typhoon of purple energy rose up and engulfed their giant bodies at first.

This phenomenon lasted for a few breaths before I noticed cracking sounds coming from their bodies, alongside visible changes in their bodies.

The initial height of five meters changed into double. Their wings grew broader and thicker. Their scales grew thicker and longer while their faint purple started to get darkened at a rate visible to naked eye.

Even their heads grew as well. That wasnʼt all. Just in less than one minute, the purple air they were baptized in began to be absorbed deeply inside their bodies.

Their flat bodies began to show bulging over their four limbs, wings, and tail. Their heads slowly grew a small horn not exceeding five inches in length.

Yet it was like it was made out of pure purple jade. I didnʼt even know the origin of these horns, not to mention their value if I sold them in the market.

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

One by one, they all roared while the purple air vanished around their bodies. With each roar they tilted their heads to the sky and each released a pillar of purple fire that had arcs of red lightning dancing around it.

Such dangerous fire breaths… Damn! I really hit the jackpot this time!

My only regret was that I didnʼt have enough soul points to try even one bone I had. That golden bone was in my hand and when the four dragons finished their defying roars against the gods and the apocalypse, against the universe, the one who spoke before looked at me in obvious greed and said:

”Master, can I have this bone? It will help me advance more and grow stronger.”

Yeah, I raised four greedy dragons and I had to suffer the consequences now.
