I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1003 Looking For Gems

Couldn’t you see how many rivers I got here? How many litres are running through this place? Dammit Oglak! How much exactly your old lord was getting from each trade then if this was considered a big loss in your eyes?

“Lord… Don’t get me wrong. But taking too much from here might affect the entire world’s stability,” he seemed to notice my weird gazing at him, making him say these words.

“What do you mean?”

“Any magical artefact world had to absorb some sort of energy from the world outside. It transforms this energy and condenses it into such things here. They aren’t just for show, they play a role at stabilising the world when there are times with a thin amount of energy in the outside world.”

“Oh… You mean so then,” I got his point, “don’t worry then. I can simply empty this entire world, even take away the dirt and clouds, and it won’t crumble or collapse.”

“This…”

“Come out!” the next moment I summoned the one thousand necromancers I got, plus more that I received from the sovereigns and Silverlining.

Their count has doubled by now. “Let the new ones get a proper introduction from the rest of you,” I said to the old ones, ordering them to act as guides to the new ones.

“These… Are the cursed necromancer race!!”

“Indeed, after all this world is made from death energy. And guess what? In time of the apocalypse, we got nothing more than death energy, right?”

“Well… Considering what I saw at your training grounds, you could have established it there, right?”

“…”

Just when he said it this way, I realised that I totally missed this point!

It was true that inside the other world of mine, lots of killing and death were present. It could have worked!

But considering the time I established this world at, the training grounds inside my other world was still rudimentary. I established this world in the path of controlling the Hector continent, something that looked like it happened ages ago.

“Death energy here is still higher, and will be like this for a long time,” I didn’t see this as a bad decision from me.

Training grounds might look bustling with activity, yet once time came, I’d have to empty most of them and send my forces away.

Unlike the second world, Earth was going to be filled with killing and fighting for long years! I still got most of the quests left, not to mention the merge of other worlds with mine to expand Earth’s size and add more forces and races here.

And that would keep the fight going on for a much longer time.

“Anyway, lord can’t take lots of things from here. It’s not a problem of energy supply, but most of these things came from the artefact lord used. Taking too much will affect the balance of this world, and in best cases it will affect the growth and expansion of this world.”

“And worse it will collapse, right?” I got his point and couldn’t help but sigh. Looking at this small bottle and then at the huge number of rivers here made me regret not emptying everything.

“There are different things with more value than water,” when Oglak saw my dejected look, he said, “like this crystal here. I found it at the core of a few flowers I saw, and these… Each single one of them can be exchanged by one hundred times the price paid for this bottle of water.”

“One hundred times… That means ten thousand… Not bad…” I looked at the small gem that he showed to me. It was in the size of half a finger, emitting bright silver-white light, and was filled with dense white fog.

“Ok,” I resigned to his warning, “how much can I take from here without affecting the world?”

“This…” yet it seemed he was speaking about a vague concept, one that he didn’t know much about or something, “we have to try until the earliest signs appear.”

“Signs… Like what?”

“The earliest signs of affecting the world will appear in the form of a few shakes like faint earthquakes. When that happens, the lord has to stop.”

“Ok,” I got what he meant, “but that means I’ll have to do it myself.”

“Did lord plan for someone else to do it?!!”

He seemed surprised. And of course I was thinking about doing that. Just look around, this world was already spanning hundreds of miles!

“Start contacting that impact people then,” I sighed, “let them get in touch with me. Send them the samples you got and let me know the results. Come here…”

I added him as a friend before starting the mission of collecting treasures from this world.

I went down first towards any flower region and started to look for the gems like the one he showed me.

I found them, not that common indeed but they were there. Each big and small flower got a gem inside in a ratio of one to hundred.

I also found different coloured gems. There were the silver white ones like that gem he showed me before.

And there were also green and blue ones. For a moment there I got that the ranking system of these was similar to the ones I had for my bones.

That meant these new coloured gems were much higher in value than the silver-white ones.

I started a wide spree of search, and even summoned my Bulltors and shield warriors to help scan the world and bring me these gems.

I didn’t ask for anything else but these gems for now. And I made sure my warriors spanned in a small area. So at any given sign of affecting this world, I’d just call them back and not add more damage to the world.

But for hours we kept working diligently, amassing thousands of these gems before we covered one third of this world.

Gradually all my tense and anxiety were gone, replaced with the weird tranquillity that being here provided. I kept working for ten more hours until I finally cleared the entire world off any gem.
