I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse Chapter 173 The Devil's Touch Magic Circle

[Tower? What tower?] he asked and from his question I knew they didn’t start building it for my luck.

[It’s a grand tower rising up for over a hundred tres. You’ll be able to see it even from far away and it should look like a tall and slim staff in the middle of the triangle zone they control]

[Oh, they didn’t start building anything like that as far as I can tell]

I paused for a minute thinking about this.

[What’s that tower anyway?] he asked, [And why are these harmless looking balls related to that tower?]

[Wrong!] I instantly sent back in mockery.

[What?]

[What you asked just now is wrong. The right question should be what’s the threat these balls pose to us]

[Tell genius!] I knew he wasn’t taking seriously here, but let’s see how you’d react once you know what I know.

[These balls are energy channels. Alone they won’t be able to do anything. Just consider these like a grand magic circle. Instead of drawing the circle using special ink on the ground, you use them as a lining material for this circle]

[A summoning magic circle? On such a big scale? How co?!!] that dude wasn’t as dumb as I took him for.

[They’ll summon a deadly natural disaster here] I finally said it, [So big that’s enough to change the entire landscape of this region. And to do so they needed the tower to initiate the magic circle, connecting it with the endless energy in the world here and control the disaster coming]

[You seem to know a lot about that] he sent this useless remark that I chose to totally ignore. [Don’t tell you also know the nature of this disaster]

[Of course I do] I firmly responded back. After all, among all the places around here, there was only one big natural presence that could turn into such a disaster; the nearby ocean!

They were planning to flood this entire area under ocean waters. Not only that, they must be planning to create massive and destructive tsunamis that were enough to kill even those running far away.

Running and hiding wasn’t an option. Even standing in the air using my chariot and my drags wasn’t either. Such a manmade disaster would usually be accompanied by weak forms of other natural elents.

Lightning, fire, wind, and even light and darkness would also be present here. Even if they were weak, humans were much weaker against such natural elents.

We would be dood! Nothing could help us except crushing that sche and not allowing it to finish.

Yet there was just a single point that didn’t add up to all this. Learning such a thod to fight against was simply like using a nuke to kill the enemy and myself at the sa ti.

What was that archlord illusionist thinking about when he decided to use up such a deadly thod? This dude didn’t seem like a suicidal person, so what was I missing here exactly?

I lacked information, lots of it actually. In addition to that, what was the use of wasting enormous resources and blessing points to summon not only one ga gate but three at such a stage?

Was he trying to do sothing else? Damn! I lacked lots of information here to make feel blind and lost.

[Try to infiltrate deeper into their triangular zone] I sent over to him, [Gather up as many balls as you can. The tower should be located at the central area of that zone. Try to camp there and if you found the building blocks of it, try to sneakily take as much as you can]

[Are these things useful?] that dude wasn’t ready to do sothing without getting benefits back from it. Excellent!

[Sure, but not for now] I sent it over without explaining anything to him.

Of course the materials used in such a big sche were valuable. Just like the balls, the building material of that tower would look harmless and low grade at first look.

But when grouped together in certain ways, they could bring miracles. Yet that was for to know and use. Let that greedy jumper try to use them himself… He would only fail!

[Alright, leave this task to then] he sent before asking, [What are you going to do? Are you coming over or what?]

[First I’ll try to know more about what that bastard is trying to do] I sent while thinking about three people in my mind, [Just be prepared. Once I know what I wanted, I’ll lead everyone and co to crush those weaklings and destroy everything]

[Just don’t take much ti in that or else I might grow white hair here]

[Says the one who wears a mask and not let anyone see his face or know his age]

[I’m a young person!]

[Your words only, and they aren’t counted] I teased him before closing the chat as he started to aggressively reply back. That dude was easily provoked and had such an explosive type of blood running through his veins.

Alright… As I sent him loose over those enemies to buy so ti, it was ti to gather information.

And for that I had three people in my mind to give all the information I lacked; Fang, Wryly, and lastly and most important of them was the old man.

I had to check the mory beads again. But first I’d start contacting Wryly. Hopefully that dude would know enough to spare any useless chat with Fang.

[I have sothing to ask about… Have you ever heard of the devil’s touch?]

This magic circle was as the devil’s touch, yet that infamous na was given to it by humans.

I didn’t know if other races knew it by the sa na or not.

[Devil what?] as expected, he seed not to know about it. I beca patient and explained in detail what was going on here.

[Damn! I should get moving first and hit that city of his now] he sent over before adding, [What you are calling the devil’s touch we call it the death breath. It’s a nasty kind of sorcery, dark magic indeed. If that lunatic bro decided to use it, that ans he gave up over everything. Only cities with ga gates can shelter us from such destruction]

[ga gates can help?!] For the first ti Wryly gave such valuable information that I desperately needed.

[Of course! The gates aren’t like the normal gates you see anywhere. They have strong shield abilities and defences against natural disaster that would make any city having it immune to damage]

[So these ga gates can block the natural disaster brought over by death breath?]

[It’s not going to stop it, but will protect the city from it. See, it’s like having an island in a mighty ocean waves. But to do so one must have a complete ga gate. Unluckily for that Selvator, he had only incomplete ga gate at his city]

Aha! So that was the real reason why Fang sat his gazes upon the three ga gates here!

[So ga gates will act as a shield, but is there any relation to their numbers and the uses of the death breath?]

[What do you an?]

[It’s just that illusionist ford three ga gates inside three cities]

[What?!!] Wryly paused for a minute and I felt he got sothing scary from what I just said. [So I can have three more full ga gates this ti? Aweso!]

That dude… he was thinking just in his own gains and nothing else. I shook my head in disappointnt before sending my answer to him.

[Don’t get hyped over nothing. I might need one of these to make sure my people are safe. Also Fang asked for one and after knowing what you just said, I can’t let him down]

[Screw ! Why did I even tell you about that!!]

I shook my head again while preventing myself from laughing. Wryly was a really kind hearted person. [So I can get at least one of these ga gates, right?]

[That’s guaranteed]

[May I ask what you plan to do against it then?]

[I’ll simply try my odds and crush the magic circle before summoning the beast] I told him frankly about my plans, and didn’t know that my sincerity would be richly rewarded.

He remained silent for ten minutes. During which I started to scan the content of my mory beads, looking for anything with the na devil’s touch or the death breath.

[Ok! Cool! Let tell you this… I just got the approval from my paragon… We will aid you massively in this fight with the promise of getting all the three ga gates if we managed to destroy the magic circle]

I looked at his ssage and didn’t know what I should say back. That dude was truly straightforward, more than Fang himself.

[To how extent can you help here?] I asked while feeling the most I could get would be a couple tens of thousands from their armies.

After all, Wryly never showed any big numbers under his command.

[We will bring a million or more] but the answer he gave made raise both eyebrows in response. Damn! It was really a massive gap between dealing with archlords and paragons!

In just a wimp, the berserker paragon decided to move one million forces in such ease? Wait… did that also an that the illusionist archlord was also supported by a paragon as well?

Damn! What did I get myself into exactly? A clash of titans while I was just an ant or what?

[How will you send these forces over?] Of course I couldn’t say no to such a big hand.

[Our paragon will start sending them from all the cities around that zone. But he needs first to sign a contract with you]

[If so then he should guarantee to crush the magic circle or else the deal won’t be valid] I didn’t reject such a big help, but I also insisted over that point.

After all those races had many ways to survive, all but humans. My forces were expanding and getting stronger with each passing day in the apocalypse.

If I let the enemy sche pass through, then forget about all of this.

Let tell you in detail what was going to happen if this region would be flooded with water.

First we would lose all the cities that I controlled so far, starting with NEw York and Jersey.

The water would cover up all of New York and Jersey state. It even might extend beyond the two and cover parts of other nearby states.

In addition to that, we will be all isolated! At this stage of the apocalypse, aquatic monsters already appeared. So trying to cross the ocean to go north or get away from here would be so dangerous.

In addition to that, I’d end up losing everything I built here so far. Of course I knew at so point I’d lost this region, but not this early on!

Before that would happen, I had planned to move on everything I gained here and migrate towards the north. But right now things weren’t going the way I wanted.

I had to make sure this sche would be smashed to pieces and wouldn’t succeed. My losses would be greater, far greater than other races here.

[He agrees] in less than a couple minutes, Wryly returned with such an answer. [I’ll send you a contract now. We will need twelve hours to summon up enough army to kill the enemies]

[I’ll make sure the magic circle won’t be built during that ti. Send the contract over] I sent back and next thing happened was for a contract to appear in front of with a system notification.

After reading its content, I signed it without any comnt.

[We’ll be ready in twelve hours] Wryly sent to confirm over our deal, [Make sure that bastard won’t activate the death breath]

[Count on for this]
