I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 112 - The Godly Treasures

I was sure I had over one hundred million coins last time I checked. But when I calmed myself down, I came to understand what went wrong here.

”So… The last statue didnʼt give me a boost to my class thanks to my shortage of coins?” I muttered while sucking in a deep and bitter breath of loss.

Coins didnʼt matter that much to me, but losing such a golden opportunity thanks to my short on coins was.

If I had a choice, then Iʼd rather sell other stuff in the market for coins. But aside from the precious stat points that I couldnʼt touch, I had literally nothing else worthy of selling.

Only potions and the pile load of the scrolls that I never used before were in my inventory, plus my precious bones and my personal stack of high grade gears.

I left those gears for my future warriors and human forces. I couldnʼt just sell everything, especially such rare and very useful gears.

At this moment I felt little regret. If I sold those potions and scrolls then I might have gained more coins. But there was no benefit in regretting such a thing for now.

”What are these two things?” finding the two treasures I got from the statues wasnʼt hard. I found a strange compass with a long single needle that kept rotating even inside my inventory.

And the other treasure was a libra like item. It was made out of white material and its two sides were evenly matched in balance.

I first took it out and the moment I did, a window popped up in front of me viewing its information.

[The Anubis god Libra: A scale to measure oneʼs soul. Grade white godly treasure. Itʼs rumoured to be used by the Anubis god himself back when he supervised the matters of humans on Earth.

Using it consumes one million coins each time. You select a target and after activating the Libra, you can weigh his soul. If he harbours ill intentions towards your race then he will be cursed for life. His stats will be permanently halved.

Every time he uses stat points to increase his stats he will need double the amount to raise a single point. His cultivation will be halved. His gear stats will be halved.

His life span will be halved. His following forces will have a temporarily halved effect in all stats for one hour. His contract bound forces will be cursed like the master. The curse canʼt be blocked, elevated by anything except by using the same scale to undo it.

To undo the curse youʼll need to consume another million coins. It has a fixed chance of twenty percent to undo the curse of other gods with a price of ten million coins each time.

Can be upgraded under certain conditions. Requiring the help of Anubis god for that]

”Damn!” I sucked in a cold air of breath when reading all this. For a second there I couldnʼt move my eyes away from the jumper at the front. Should this help to alleviate such a curse he was suffering from?

Just thinking about it for a few minutes made me drop such an idea. First there was no guarantee this was a curse from a godly item like this Libra. And to know that, I needed to waste at least one hundred million coins to be sure.

I was sure the jumper was a wealthy dude, but not to such an extent. Just now he showed a big hand and took out many gears he stored inside his inventory.

Iʼd bet his coins wouldnʼt be half close to this terrifying figure even if he sold most of his inventory useless items. As for his rare items and other treasures, it would be a waste to sell them.

”Let it be the last option then,” I muttered while examining that Libra in closer attention.

It didnʼt look any special at all. Its surface was all smooth except for a small carving of Anubis famous head, the jackal head, on the central axis of that scale.

I didnʼt feel any weight at all while holding it. If I passed by it on the street, Iʼd never consider it a treasure at all.

”It might be useful later,” I stored it away before taking out the second item. It was a large compass, one circular compass that was the size of triple my hand.

Just holding it made me have a strange feeling. It felt like the dancing needle was attached to my soul by invisible force, as if I could give it an order and it could execute it at once.

And strangely enough, I suddenly felt many thoughts about my desires. I felt like I wanted to locate the castle places with gates and go to smash them all! I felt the desire to go and find those trapped humans and release all of them!

Many desires welled up inside my heart, with the strange urge to release them all outside like flooding waters. I didnʼt experience such a feeling before, yet I managed to put everything under my control before reading the message that popped up when I took that compass out.

The compass was black and red in colour, while the dancing long needle that seemed to be floating on the curved glassy surface of the compass was made out of golden material.

I tried to see anything written or engraved inside through that glass, but all I could see was pitch black fog swirling endlessly under the effect of the dancing needle.

It was a weird compass to be honest, but when I read its description, I couldnʼt help but suck in another cold air of breath out of surprise and excitement.

[Anubis Desire compass: A compass to guide anyone to his most desired thing. Grade pale gold godly treasure. Itʼs rumoured to be used by the Anubis god himself back when he supervised the matters of humans on Earth.

Using the compass to point towards the direction of your most wanted desire. You just need to think about a single desire and focus most on it before using the compass.

Each time usage needed five million coins. The compass will keep pointing towards the direction until you reach it. You canʼt use it until you reach the destination of the previous desire first.

Canʼt be blocked by time, space, or any restrictions.

There is an option for instant teleporting the user to his desired place. The price for such usage is fifty million coins plus one million blessing points, or just by taking the blessing from Anubis god himself and grants you his agreement for using such a function for free.

Can be upgraded under certain conditions. Requiring the help of Anubis god for that]

Well… That explained much about what I felt when I held it. But such an extravagant price was simply unattainable for me at the moment.

”But that instant teleportation function…” I looked up at Karoline for a second. And at that second, our eyes coincidentally met.

Or was it the act of fate? I didnʼt know why, but amidst all the girls I knew so far, she was the only one capable of making me feel that way.

Like I was attracted to her by some invisible force.

”Ahem,” I cleared my throat while shaking off my head to free myself from her spell. As I peeked at her again, all I could see was a sweet smile, one that was filled with happiness and little pride.

Was she feeling happy and proud for entangling me in her net or what? I didnʼt know the answer. Yet that heaven shaking ability of that compass resembled hers in a way.

”It would be nice to take me directly to the succubus gate if I had the wealth for that,” I sighed while storing it away.

Coins wouldnʼt be a problem for a long time. I trusted my ability in killing enough races at the outer gates to replenish my dried up pockets.

But the blessing points were a problem indeed. I wouldnʼt be able to solve this until I found myself a good god to sponsor me, and then Iʼd ask him to shower me with quests to harness all the blessing points I could gain.

”So I canʼt use either of these two for now,” I turned to look at the large number of humans in the castle. ”They will need more time to rehabilitate,” this was given.

And if I considered the other castles and the large number of trapped humans there, then I couldnʼt just wait for them to get better.

But leaving them like this wouldnʼt be wise as well.

”Spearhead,” I shouted and waved at the spearhead to come to me. My sudden shout attracted everyoneʼs attention, yet he was the only one coming to my side.

”What else did you know from the dragons?”

I heard the bad news first, and I had to admit that was a good call. If I delayed or got carried out by the good news and left here, then those humans might have faced another fate.

”Oh, about that…” the spearhead seemed to be lost in thoughts for a moment, or he just got startled by my sudden question, ”They spotted seven castles like this one. This map has the places spotted by them and after considering the distance they flew and the direction.”

He handed me the paper he had all this time. It wasnʼt a simple piece of paper, but a big A1 sized one that was used by engineers and map makers.

”Hmm…” I had to admit, this map was slightly chaotic! All I could tell was the Hudson river and the Atlantic ocean plus the two big pieces of land that stretched aside the Hudson river.

”We are here,” it seemed my face exposed my loss in reading this map, so the spearhead pointed at a small X mark at one side.

”Oh,” as I figured where we were, I started to slowly understand the map.

”So these castles are arranged in a big circle,” I noticed the general layout before adding, ”and Jersey city must be inside it, right?”

And the spearhead nodded.

”Any intel about the identity or numbers of each race in these castles?” I folded the map and stored it inside my inventory in smooth moves.

”Actually they couldnʼt get closer as they feared the dragons protecting each castle.”

”Dragons? At each castle?!” I asked just to make sure I heard him right.

And he nodded.

”So they moved faster than I thought,” I pondered for a moment before grinning in a vicious way, ”itʼs time to pay them all a visit.”

The presence of dragons wasnʼt that much of a surprise. After all, I expected that to happen in the city. But I didnʼt expect it to occur even in the outer gates as well.

But why would I fear them? I now had my own forces ready, my chariot, and also I had enough points to summon more races to serve me.

”Do you know of any bridges other than the George Washington bridge?”

”That…” he paused and even rubbed the back of his head before adding, ”In between New York and Jersey?”

”No, slightly away from both,” I mysteriously said, ”somewhere thatʼs not that far away as well.”

”Hmm… I believe there is a bridge that lies just at the next county from New York city,” he said after deep pondering, ”I recall itʼs called Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. It links Westchester county with Rockland on the other side.

”Is it far?” I didnʼt know where Westchester county lay.

”Itʼs just adjacent to the city,” he pointed at the direction of New York, ”itʼs easier to reach there from Bronx.”

”Thanks,” I patted him on the shoulder before adding, ”go back and help the girls here.”

”Will we stay here for much longer?” He seemed to read behind my actions and I could only smile.

”You are all going to stay here,” I said before looking at the jumper, ”all but one will remain.”
