I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 42 - A Fight With The Illusionist

I knew she didn't have a chance here. I had a Bulltor. Yes it was just one warrior, but it was a level five highly elite warrior with two innate skills and a big sledgehammer.

It was an as* kicker, she wouldn't be able to face him even if she summoned double more warriors.

"You… Stay away… Stay away from me now!" she screamed in panic when I took another step. Just before she could end her words, it seemed she gave an order to her warriors to attack me.

Warriors were related to anyone summoning them with thoughts. As her warriors moved, I didn't hurry to bring mine as I leapt backwards, creating a distance between me and them.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The five swordsmen and spearmen lost their target and only hit the ground.

"Make them stop," I calmly said. I didn't want to lose my assets. After all, I saw her mine from the moment she appeared with me.

"Or what?" she seemed to mistake my intentions and thought my retreat was out of fear. I couldn't bring myself to flick my fingers and point towards the five in the front.

"Kill them," I only gave this order and my Bulltor moved.

The Bulltor I summoned was at least five meters in height. He was a giant, a true giant with broad muscles and a dangerous vibe. He had a hole in his chest where a glistering crystal ball was supposed to be there.

However as far as I knew, all the Bulltors got their central crystals smashed before being sold in the market. Despite that it would lower their prices like this, but it was a way to weaken them.

These crystals were the main source of their power. A Bulltor with a crystal would be at least ten times stronger than one with an empty hole in his chest like mine.

But that didn't make having a crystal impossible, yet it was something to be done later one.

The real shocking scene of a Bulltor would be when he wore defensive armor and carried another weapon in his hands. Adding also a Bulltor specific helmet would make this blue eyed Bulltor stronger.

Such things would cost me a fortune. I couldn't afford to buy all of these for now. Even that sledgehammer wasn't of decent quality. And yet all it took from him was mere wavings of his arm and all of the five warriors upfront were killed.

"This is your last chance," I knew if I didn't get to an agreement with her, then I had to kill her fast before anyone else would arrive here.

*Rumble!* *Rumble!*

Just before she could say anything, two formidable energies exploded not too far from here. I raised my head and saw two big pillars of light clashing against each other; one golden and the other was silver.

"So the two ended up meeting each other," I muttered to myself before suddenly frowning. "Doesn't that mean…"

A sense of crisis rose up in my heart. The sole contender now was that frightening illusionist. I looked towards the direction of the two fiercely clashing pillars and couldn't help but feel pressured.

"They aren't far," instantly I opened the market and bought the warrior I had my eyes upon.

[Warning: You have to wait for one more minute before purchasing another warrior]

I looked at the message and couldn't help but feel helpless. The illusionists were famous for their fast speed, vicious attacks, plus their love for attacking an enemy when his guard was down.

Their illusion skill wasn't the only lethal weapon they had, invisibility was. They were born with a skill to be invisible when they wanted to. Only another illusionist or someone with a similar ability or with a special eye could detect them.

"Move," I instantly shouted in alarm, "get behind me now and sign this contract."

The succubus didn't trust my words. Of course she thought I was putting up a show. "Did you forget? We have a fifth contender who can't be seen!"

Just hearing my words made her eyes go wide. I knew she would understand the meaning of my words so I didn't care about her anymore.

I bought one of the advanced contracts in the market, filled it fast with the basic and strictest conditions I could think of and then looked up to her.

This contract cost me five hundred thousand coins. It had the advantage of binding my soul with hers. That meant I didn't need to use the system or for her to be on my side to give her orders and speak with her.

Plus it would work over those with blessing gods, and even against people with high cultivation.

And it had the choice of editing its content later on, provided that the changes wouldn't exceed ten percent of its content.

"Are you going to follow me or wait to be killed?" I calmly asked while counting seconds.

"Do you know who he is?" she asked but she was walking, or rather running towards me.

"Sign it first," my Bulltor looked at her in vigilance, a look that turned her face unsightly.

"This…" she saw the contract and was about to say something before a loud laugh erupted not too far from me.

"I told you, you are really interesting," a soft voice came, the same I heard before being teleported here. Yet it was the first time for the succubus girl to hear it. She turned around while looking terrified.

"Here," she instantly signed it without any hesitation. I knew anyone coming here wouldn't be stupid, at least not when someone was eyeing her life like this.

The contract turned into wisps of silver smoke before half went inside my body and the other into hers. I knew there were many disadvantageous points in the basic contract we just signed for that succubus, but I had no intention on going back on these terms.

"Show yourself if you dare!" that succubus screamed in panic. Poor girl! She took the illusionist as an amateurish enemy.

"She won't do that," I firmly said while finally the countdown reached zero and I could use my summon again. Yet I didn't hurry to do that. Something was off here. "If she did, she'd lose one of her greatest weapons."

"Oh, a human boy knows my people very well… It's weird though," the soft voice came as if the girl was floating in the air and moving all around.

"A voice dispersion skill? Nice touch," I recognized this skill as it was one of the useful skill sets for any illusionist.

"Do you even know my skill? I have to admit, I'm impressed."

"What is that skill?" The succubus girl seemed to be lost.

"Not now," of course this wasn't the best time to ask questions.

"I know your race quite well," I said while not looking at any specific area. In fact, using this skill would allow her to be next to me without even realizing it.

But it was hard to come near the two of us. After that contract, the succubus made her shield bearer warriors to surround the two of us. Besides the giant Bulltor was standing next to me. If she dared to attack, I was sure the Bulltor would take back her life.

"Is it so? Then tell me, how will I kill the two of you then?" her voice carried a tinge of amusement. This race was known to be in love with playing games with their prey. But there was something missing here.

They never start a discussion with their enemies before they would cast their illusion upon them. So either we were already under the illusion, or she had another goal in mind.

We were definitely not under any illusion. She has no chance to even cast anything yet. I suspect she took roughly two minutes of running at her highest speed to find us.

Wait… How did she come to know our location this fast and in such precision?

Then it all came to me at this moment.

"Very terrified to not even speak? I know I'm a frightening person, but I also can be reasonable sometimes."

I listened and couldn't help but crack a smile over my face. "In the Illusionist race there is a race that's considered the most shameless. Do you know what race I'm speaking about?"

"You… really seem to know a lot about our people. I'm feeling more interested in you now."

I didn't show any reaction on my face. Instead I started to walk outside the protection ring of the warriors.

"Hey, where are you going?" The succubus seemed to feel panic from the mere thought of me running away or something.

"That race is very hard to come by. I heard only in each generation ten are born. Ten, can you believe that? In a race with hundreds of millions of new births each generation, only ten belong to that race."

"Stop coming closer or else…" The illusionist voice came thundering from all over but I didn't flinch. I kept moving in a calm way towards the path in front of me.

"The reason behind this scarce birth rate is that it's not really like giving birth to any newborn there, it's an evolution. Out of hundreds of millions, only ten were blessed by this evolution. It's a remarkable feat, don't you think?"

I now stopped a hundred meters away from the succubus and the warriors. I didn't even call for my Bulltor to move.

I knew who I was facing, and I knew she wouldn't be able to kill me.

I knew her secret.

"How can you know all of this?" the voice rang again from all over the place. However I knew the direction she was hiding.

"Hey Rachel," I shouted at the succubus with the name she used in the contract.

"Don't call me that! I'm Ra!" she seemed to not like her name, weird.

"Do you know what that unique race is called?"

Rachel looked at me like I was crazy or something. I was acting like there was no danger here. And frankly there wasn't. At least not for me. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"You need to stop acting tough, human kid," it seemed I enraged that illusionist, "or else I'll kill you."

"No sorry, you can't," I simply crossed my arms and even closed my eyes for a brief moment.

"Pretty much confident you are!" the next moment a gale of wind came out of nowhere and passed just inches away from me.

"Watch out!" The attack was obvious and Rachel screamed in warning. However I didn't even budge or feel any worry at all.

"You can't kill me," I said this time in a firm tone, "I know everything about you."

"Then you can say my name?" the girl scoffed as if I just said a joke.

"No, but I can grab you and force you to tell me your name," without any warning a long spear appeared in my hand. I grabbed it with both hands and inserted it into the ground.

But I didn't hit the ground in front of me, but the one behind me, the ground where it had my shadow in it.

Yes, she was a special type of illusionist, one that was known as the shadow masters. She didn't come all the way from where she was sent to, she linked herself to my shadow and came here with me.

Unlike the conditions and rules of the quest, she managed to bypass them all using her unique abilities. If I wasn't really knowledgeable in her race, I would have fallen for her tricks.

After all, as long as she was bound to my shadow, it was a double edged weapon. She could never hit me, kill me, or even let me have any harm before she got herself separated from my shadow.

And to do that, she needed another shadow to jump on, use an innate skill for that. Unluckily for her, I knew her skill cooldown would take half an hour at least.

That meant she couldn't free herself from me, or use any kind of attack. But if she killed Rachel, she would be able to jump onto her shadow and take control over her body.

It was scary, a terrifying evolution of such a scary race.

"Got you," my spear got her off guard. I felt like my spear was caught by two hands or something. But how could she resist my strength? 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"Do you want to die?" my tone showed complete viciousness and cruelty while I used more force to move my spear downward.

"What are you doing?" Rachel thought I was in trouble and decided to come to help.

"I can use my skill to enchante her," she proposed however I turned to her and said in urgency:

"Do you want the two of us to die here? Go back and never come closer until I say so!"

This girl lived in the shadows. So if I started fighting her while I was next to Rachel, I would have never been able to corner her like that.

She could resist my spear, that was expected. But if there was any other shadow nearby, she would instantly use her illusion skill over its owner.

She couldn't touch me, but she could touch anyone else. What if she managed to kill the Bulltor in her illusion? A giant Bulltor with level five, two skills, and a big sledgehammer. Damn! Even my scalp went numb when I thought about it.

So I had to move far, isolated from any other shadow here. This was the only way I knew of to face such a terrifying being.

And at the tip of my spear, there was another contract. I paid a hefty five hundred thousand coins just now to purchase it.

If my spear managed to penetrate her body, she would become my follower for the rest of her life! How cool that would be!

"I would prefer to die than to be your girl!" she screamed in determination and I had a bad feeling about her intentions.

"Then you'll lose your only chance to achieve what you desire most in life," I slowly said while my face carried a firm expression.

I knew what she deeply wanted, and I had a way to help her achieve it.
