I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 396 [Bonus chapter] The Terrifying Exiles

Double the souls? The initial price was already too much for me before. But after getting into such big fights recently, I knew I had a good chance at securing this payment earlier than the due date.

I signed the new contract. That bastard showed a last straw of dignity as he refreshed the due date starting from today.

“Hahahaha, that’s an interesting world indeed. You are fighting among yourselves, and now one of those bastards is seeking a fight. Good… Very good…”

Just as I signed the contract, it felt like that hegemon on the other side of the portal was well aware of what was happening here. His deep and mighty voice thundered alongside his laughs.

Ok… He seemed interested already. Now what?

I had zero knowledge about the nature of the enemy I was going to face. In fact I thought such a move would take much longer, but it seemed I was wrong.

I had to be ready for anything coming in my direction.

“Hahaha, he is coming, he is sending his mighty forces, hahaha!” as if that paragon lost his mind, he started laughing in such a crazy way.

At the same time, the clouds that paused when that hegemon spoke resumed their expansion outwards. It seemed they would soon burst and release the mighty forces from the other side.

If I said I wasn’t curious then I’d be lying. But at the same time I was worried, a little scared actually.

That wasn’t a normal enemy in the apocalypse, it was an enemy from another universe.

If these enemies were weak, the fight between the two universes wouldn’t extend to such lengths. Also if the enemy was weak, he wouldn’t be able to corner my universe to such a degree.

I knew my universe was losing this war, or else why the urge of those higher ups to introduce the apocalypse into many worlds already.

And now I was going to face such a deadly enemy, with my current few forces here. I looked around, my controlled forces here didn’t exceed two hundred thousand.

If I added the remaining races brought by the green nymph lady, then that number might be doubled.

It might seem a lot, but something told me it was far from enough.

“I had to retreat,” the first thing I thought about was to create a distance, enough for me to weigh the situation better and analyse what was going to happen.

Unlike that paragon bastard, I held zero info about the nature of the upcoming enemies. What were their strongest and weakest traits? How would they fight? How could anyone kill them? Are they really that scary?

And the answer came from none but that bastard.

“Trying to run away? Hahaha, it’s too late, hahaha! I selected that enemy specifically for you. He is something you’ll never be able to contest against. Say goodbye to your world, as from now on it will be the world of the exiles.”

“Exiles?!” I got this valuable info out of his carelessness and arrogance. He seemed to be so confident at my loss.

If I didn’t have any info about them, then I knew the right person to help me fill the gaps here.

[Tell me everything you know about the exiles]

[Damn! Damn! Damn! Why bring such a deadly name all of sudden?]

I looked up at Fang’s immediate answer and I knew it was really going to be very bad.

[A paragon bastard from Hectors opened a gate with their world]

[No way! Are you kidding me? Don’t joke about things like these, or you’ll just jinx us!]

[I’m not joking! How the hell did I hear about such a name in the first place?!]

He paused for a long moment, as if he was weighing what I just said. [This… Is really bad bro, bad beyond what you can imagine! Exiles? Damn! Out of all the enemies of the other side, you brought this horrifying enemy…]

[I told you, it’s not me!]

[But you brought the Hectors here in the first place! Those guys are really… Maniacs!]

[I know that now, but it’s not the time to win over this. I promise to make a crying corner for you in my chariot after all this is over]

[Crying… What? f*ck you!]

[Just tell me what you know… And make it quick]

[The exiles are locusts. Once entered a world, they’d not leave it until blazing it to the ground. They are very strong, fast, decisive, and ruthless]

[Enough praising them, and tell me something useful]

That dude… I already was aware of how critical our situation was. Speaking more about them in such a way wasn’t helping at all. I needed info, not more reasons to hate and be scared of them.

[Ok… Ok… Pardon me as I’m just nervous and scared…]

Damn! Even such a figure of a mighty race compared to humans was panicking already to this degree. How scary were these dudes?

[Our universe uses cultivation mainly for gaining strength…] It was the first time for me to hear such a thing. It seemed Fang was going all out, explaining even secrets only big races would know about.

[But when we clashed with the other universe, we were introduced to the concept of energy. They are very diverse in using any form of energy, and from that the system concept came to life. The higher ups tried to use the new knowledge and arm us with it using the system. And that’s why they were trying to enforce apocalypses as trial zones for all races in our universe to train and get adapt to such concept]

Yes, he was going all out! It seemed he saw his death near, so he decided to speak with no reservations.

At this moment, it felt like I was speaking with a kid, a child of no more than eight years, not the old and cunning Fang.

Death… It was really a horrifying existence that could change one’s soul, or perhaps show one’s true nature.
