I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1931: Does He Have a Death Wish?!

However, Hye was mistaken about one thing. The monsters of this world didnʼt like the sudden cold of the night. Having evolved to thrive in the furnace-like temperatures of the daytime, they retreated into deep caverns and thermal vents once the darkness fell and cyan stars rose. Hye didnʼt encounter a single hostile creature until the next sunrise.

The star rose with a violent suddenness, emitting strong waves of light and heat that turned the atmosphere back into a pressurised oven. Hye didnʼt have time to ponder how such a massive star vanished and reappeared so quickly, because what appeared on his radar made him forget about celestial mechanics entirely.

”What is that?!”

He had been flying for barely an hour after sunrise when he spotted something rising from a series of crystalline mountain peaks to the West. When he adjusted the zoom on his holographic display, his heart skipped a beat.

Thousands of black dots were rising from the peaks, unfurling leathery wings that spanned dozens of meters. They rose in perfect formations, dominating the sky with an ease that the insects hadnʼt possessed.

”Wyverns!” His eyes shone with a mix of dread and excitement as he recognised the silhouettes. These werenʼt the puny lizards found in the lower worlds.

These were Hescos-tier Wyverns, creatures that lived in a world where gravity alone would crush a normal dragon. ”Such a number… That must be a colossal den. And that means… This isnʼt just a mountain range. This is their turf!”

The swarm of Wyverns began to bank toward his position, their roars so powerful they appeared as faint tribulations on his shipʼs hull. Hye looked at his insect swarm, then at the incoming dragons, and he knew his insects wouldnʼt stand a chance at all.

In front of him, tens of miles away, the sky started to be covered with a black blanket. It was a terrifying sight, a horizon-spanning shroud created by the sheer number of Wyverns launching from the crystalline mountain tops. They rose in thick columns before spreading out across the upper atmosphere, reclaiming their dominance over the sky.

Seeing this made Hye hesitate for the first time since landing in this world. He looked at his insect swarm—ninety-five thousand monsters that had seemed so formidable just an hour ago. Now, they looked like mere gnats compared to the approaching sky predators.

Every single Wyvern was the size of a hundred insects clustered together, a mountain of muscle, leathery wings, and armoured scales.

Hye knew draconic monsters well enough to know that these werenʼt just brawlers; they likely possessed the ability to breathe fire, ice, or lightning, depending on their elemental affinity.

”Screw it,” Hye growled, ”If I need to dominate this world, I need to gather up the strongest monsters Iʼll face here.”

He finally made his decision, eyes locked on the potential gains despite the suicidal risks. He knew that against such terrifying monsters, his small ship wouldnʼt help at all—it would be snapped out of the air like a twig.

Even his insects wouldnʼt pose a challenge; they would be incinerated or frozen before his technique could even begin to weave its threads into the Wyverns.

”Thatʼs in case the Wyverns were like the ones I met before,” he sighed, recalling the brutal battles of the apocalypse and the dragons he had fought in the lower realms.

”These monsters must be of a much higher quality and possess terrifying might compared to those. Perhaps they are even deadlier, with a far more lethal variety of special powers... I need to deploy everything. No half-measures.”

He knew it wasnʼt the time to play it cautious or safe. He reached into his inventory. All of a sudden, the empty sky around his scout ship began to show lots of newcomers.

Massive silhouettes materialised out of thin air—the grand battleships of his fleet, including the ships from the other universe. He didnʼt stop there. He filled them all with his seasoned warriors and summoned his smaller and medium-sized ships to fill the gaps.

Within minutes, a grand gathering of more than ten full fleets appeared in the sky, representing ninety percent of what he had. It was an iron wall of technology and manpower, standing defiant against the approaching black blanket of scales.

”Is he crazy?!”

One of the elders in the Hescos meeting hall couldnʼt contain his outburst when he saw the live feed of Hyeʼs deployment. ”He wants to fight against the Heaven-grade Wyverns using metal ships? Is he asking for death?!!”

The elderʼs panicked shout attracted the attention of Moth and the Grand Elder, who were still immersed in their private talk. Moth raised his head, and the scene playing out on the holographic projection made him freeze in place for several seconds.

He knew what those Wyverns were. In the Hescosʼ homeland, they werenʼt just monsters; they were an unstoppable force of nature.

”Shall I warn him?” Moth turned his eyes toward the Grand Elder, asking for permission rather than opinion. His voice was uncharacteristically tense.

To any Hescos present, there were certain taboos in their homeland world, and the Wyverns were on that list. As Hye had suspected, these dragonic monsters were fundamentally different from the versions found in the rest of the universe.

The most glaring point of difference was their innate ability to manipulate the worldʼs extreme environment. They could control localised temperature and increase pressure to a deadly degree.

Against them, no conventional force—no matter how well-prepared or heavily armoured—could handle the severe, instantaneous changes in the atmosphere. It was a death trap.

Before the ships could even fire their cannons, the Wyverns could spike the external pressure until the hulls imploded or increase the temperature over the special steel-melting threshold, shattering the vessels and the souls within them instantly.

”Let him try,” the Grand Elder murmured, a look of pure amusement crossing his aged features. He leaned back into his robes, fascinated by the sheer audacity of the human. ”Unless you want to use one of those hard-earned favours to save him, Iʼm okay with watching this play out!”

”...”
