I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 591 [Bonus chapter] A Violent Energy

“Stats are a form of energy,” I corrected this wrong belief for her, “how does it work?”

“I’d recommend stepping back,” she said, “let’s go back guys,” she added while I retreated with her for almost twenty metres away.

“Isn’t it a bit too much?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“It’s barely enough,” she paused before adding, “the device is still in its early phase. It can generate energy, but we still can’t control the output.”

“I see,” I nodded in understanding, “what now?”

“Now? We will start it,” she took out a device that looked like a remote control. It got a single red button in the middle, with nothing connecting it to that capsule.

“Will it connect?” I asked in doubt, and she just smiled without saying anything else.-.

“Watch my lord, this moment marks the first step of humans over the new technology of the post apocalyptic era,” she said in such confidence and pride, the pride of a scientist.

I turned my eyes towards the capsule, focusing over it. Once she pressed the button, I could feel the fierce reaction all around it.

The ores she used started to shine while the monster core in the centre started to buzz. The capsule vibrated with the table, before it started to flow in the air.

I could see wisps of energy of white colour forming around the capsule, looking like tentacles getting birthed from it.

These energy wisps looked docile at first. But seemingly they started to gather up energy fast, and soon started to grow rampant.

“This…” the energy was indeed strong, but it wasn’t that high like any strong attack here. However it was an energy that could work in the apocalypse world rules.

Having such energy was a good step. Of course it needed work to become stronger, to learn to control it, but it was for later times.

“It’s good,” even if I truly didn’t like it, I had to give her and the youths some sort of encouragement.

“No, it’s not over yet,” she firmly said, making me return to watch the capsule once more. And this time, I couldn’t help but look with widened eyes towards what was happening.

The energy turned from wisps to form a wave, a mighty wave that expanded fiercely , even throwing the table and turning it to shreds in mere seconds.

With a faint roar, like a beast was entrapped in there, the wave of this energy kept growing and expanding until it formed a big ball of blue energy, covering up an area of twenty metres.

It just stopped an inch or two in front of my face! I looked at it then at the girl next to me and she grinned. “This is what we reached, not the docile early stage.”

“That’s…” I paused, returned to watch the ball of energy, “… Truly amazing!”

“Thanks! Lord… Don’t!!” but just before she could enjoy her moment, she got an instant scare when I extended my arm towards the depth of that ball.

“Don’t worry,” I used my right arm, and the moment it touched that ball it started to suck away this energy out of control, “I’m not that weak.”

“…!!!” I could see the shock over her face and others. Something told me that few tried to touch this ball of energy before, and it seemed they didn’t end up well.

By inserting my right arm in that energy, I felt two things. First this energy wasn’t as weak as I initially thought! My arm was eating it up more than what it was doing with the energy of the world here.

And the second thing I discovered was that this energy wasn’t the end of this device’s abilities. It was like the outer shell, the outer layer, and by inserting my hand like this, I felt like I stirred up the hornet nest.

“Get back!” I instantly shouted, “get back more than one hundred metres! Stay away! Now!”

“Get back now!” The shout came from the girl, while I felt all the youths moving. But their speed wasn’t on par with the fast expanding ball of energy.

What I caused was to absorb the first gush of energy, the one that kept the more violent ones under check. I didn’t know if one metres was enough or not, but I couldn’t risk losing any of these genius kids here.

“Come down now!” I had no other choice but to control my chariot and bring it fast forward. It wasn’t that far away anyway, and it landed just next to the kids.

“Get inside!” I shouted, “don’t leave its side no matter what!”

*Rumble!*

The energy went berserk at this moment. The previous blue energy started to get infiltrated but a thick bolt of scarlet red energy that looked like they were going to explode at any moment.

I just had time to turn back and when I saw my big chariot standing next to these youths.

“They are safe,” I turned my focus to that berserk energy that engulfed me the next moment. I felt like a gush of hot air lashed at my face, making me feel a little hot and uncomfortable.

But it was nothing to worry about. The right arm worked its magic, kept absorbing this energy in a crazy way, making me safe.

I watched the fast expanding ball of energy. It reached my chariot, got stopped by the shield of it. The youths were all inside the reign of my shield, and so they survived.

But the energy kept expanding, covered an area of over two hundred metres and kept expanding as well.

When it hit the four hundred mark, it finally stopped. Right now the energy was rolling inside the ball, coming out in torrents from that capsule.

This energy wasn’t as docile or weak as before. Just touching the ground left deep marks there, deep enough to be in metres depth.

I felt like if I kept absorbing this energy, it wouldn’t stop there. I got the impression there were still much more layers hidden in that energy, something that I wouldn’t be able to control.

Damn! What did these youths do exactly? Was this energy from that monster core?
