I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 461 Seeing Old Friends Again

[Weird? How so?]

[There should be no one in control of such a thing… Except for…]

She paused, and I felt like she was thinking about something unlikely.

[Who is it?] I didn’t accept her silence or hesitation. I was curious to know more about the person who was playing a game of cat and mouse with me for many hours now.

[Angels didn’t have such authority, not even that bastard]

[Even the higher ups can’t?]

[It’s indeed a higher up, but not from the angels]

[From Dragons? Selvators? Or perhaps the Hectors?] I stated the big names I was aware of and had a benefit of messing things up for me like this.

[Neither…]

[Then?]

[A much bigger higher up, one who can has access to the system]

[You don’t possibly mean…] a name popped up in my mind at this moment.

[It’s like what you guessed]

Damn! So I wasn’t just fighting a normal race, but a system higher up! Thinking about this was really shocking, but when I thought about it, what she said made quite sense.

These portals didn’t appear by the work of any race, but from the system. It was part of the quest, and to stop them one had to get access to the system.

Who else would be able to do that?

[But… Aren’t they supposed to be fair and neutral?] This was a point that I didn’t get.

[He didn’t directly interfere, he is just making little trouble for you. Such a thing won’t trigger any alarm in the system, right?]

I knew what she said was true. After all, what this bastard did was to just cut off the source of getting more monsters under control.

From one side he was acting against me, but from another angle he was just trying to make things balanced. It wasn’t supposed for anyone to control monsters, or topple with the quests in such a way as I was doing.

Of course this was my personal strength, but he got an argument at least to defend against any possible accusations.

He… Was in the right even when he was doing something wrong.

[Don’t think too much about it. After all we, humans, are just new to all this sh*t. Unlike other races here, this is our first apocalypse. For angels, as an example, they managed many worlds and triumphed lots of apocalypses to reach such a status of guides here]

[I… Got it] It was bitter to admit such a thing, but what she said was true indeed. We were just nothing in the eyes of those in power.

If I was just starting up and got to know a higher up, what about those old and scary folks of other races? Wouldn’t they also have their friends and allies in the system higher up?

Thinking about this made me more wary. This apocalypse… It was heading downhill so damn fast!

[I’ll keep what I’m doing then] but even when I realised how terrifying and authoritative my enemy here was, I didn’t flinch.

[You should be, after all only strength matters in this cruel world]

Strangely enough, she shared the same opinion with me. I thought she was going to make me turn down this path, but she was smarter and much more courageous than I thought.

[Leave the capital and organise the inner territory for me. I’ll give orders to the army to come back. From the look of things, you don’t need any of them, right?]

[Do it] Indeed that was the case. With the astonishingly large number of monsters under my control right now, securing the entire kingdom’s outer borders was a piece of cake for me.

So letting my human army return wasn’t a problem. In fact in the last ten or more hours, I don’t recall any fight they participated in at all.

As I closed the chat with her, I recalled the two bastards. They haven’t sent me a single word since their meeting started.

[Hey, what’s up?] I sent this to the two, and if I was speaking to a wall not a single answer came back.

“Cool… Keep me in wait, and I’ll show you how you’d regret this later on…” I muttered in rage while closing this chat with them.

Dealing with the monsters in this apocalypse seemed like a piece of cake to me. But I knew I was an exception. For anyone else, dealing with such swarms of fierce monsters would be a nightmare.

I knew they’d come asking for help later on, but I wouldn’t agree to help. They left without saying a single word, and left me in the dark for such a long time.

How long was it? A day? An entire day in the apocalypse passed by already without getting a single word from them.

“Go, let’s go west,” as I was feeling such anger, I decided to vent over these portals and monsters.

The west border of my kingdom wasn’t that far away. But I decided to push the border much further. Using the help of monsters and portals here to expand my kingdom just seemed quite appropriate.

After that I’d head to the south. Taking lands from these two was also a sort of punishment for them.

When they’d return, they’d find many parts of their territory became mine. If they’d want a replacement, they could just go out there and fight for it.

Only if they gave me proper info about what happened and what all this secrecy was for, then I’d return parts of their lands to them.

Of course after paying a corresponding price for that as well.

The fight on the west frontier took almost ten hours. I expanded my territory all the way to control the entirety of Michigan and also Wisconsin. Then starting from there, I went south, cleansing anything and any foe I met.

Just going to Illinois made me meet old friends again. Dragons, Selvators, Berserkers, Illusionists, Succubi, and Hectors were all there fighting brutality against the monsters.
