Even if staying here took minimal time for me, it also put lots of stress on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way I’d be worn out the moment I’d finish this test. Also who said I’d get a high score, enough to send a large number of my forces into the dungeon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This… It was getting more complicated than it was supposed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thoughts, I walked inside the tree layer. Each tree was almost twenty metres tall, around three metres thick, with many branches and dense green leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before walking into it for a few moments, I felt a weird alarming sting into my soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Fwoosh!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one moment before it hit me, I managed to jump to the side, blocking what was thrown into my face using my glaive. The dart fell on the ground and I found it was like a dagger shaped thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the size of my forearm, thick at the middle and pointy at both ends. It had a rough surface with deep lines and black colour, yet the tips of it were in a strange dark green colour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poison?” it was the first thing that came into my mind before the same feeling resurfaced again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time I felt like I was stabbed by sharp needles from five different directions, all were coming from up front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang!* *Clang!* Clang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a speck of hesitation, I called forth a very big and thick shield that was heavy enough to make my body lean forward for a bit. But its appearance just came in time to block these dangerous darts, with loud clanging sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things… They were dangerous! I held the shield hardly with one hand while extending my neck outside its protection zone, trying to see what was attacking me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Fwoosh!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just as I tried to see, a single dart just moved inches away from my face. That bastard or those bastards throwing these things were really something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during this brief moment before I retracted my head back, I managed to see something. Large number of monsters, smaller in size compared with those bull-like ones, were hanging over the thick branches of these trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t get a clear look over them, but I noticed something arching from their backs. They must have some sort of mechanism to launch these darts at me, resembling those aquatic hybrid monsters I fought against before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a second… Was I going to fight against such hybrid monsters here? Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the initial thinking about this told me how tough this situation was. These monsters seemed to be far agile and more aggressive than those bulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made them dangerous was their darts. I looked at the few scattering around me. Something was drooling from both tips, dense liquid that looked like green blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area that was touched with such a thing turned instantly into pitch black. That meant this thing didn’t only have a toxic effect but also a strong corrosive bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn! I had to overcome them and ran towards the other basin. I looked up at my shield, with all these loud clanging sounds repeatedly coming from its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bastards… They were trying to force me to retreat or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first issue I had to solve was this shield. It was enough to stop these darts, but it was damn heavy to walk around carrying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who said I was out of options here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see how you’ll deal with this,” I held the shield and supported it using my back. I took out my two daggers, held one in each hand and looked mischievously towards the nearest tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I then moved slowly, step by step, while each step was covered with densely attacking darts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of monsters skyrocketed during the past few minutes until I reached that tree. It was on the border with the basin region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t believe these monsters couldn’t see me at the basin. With such sharp and precise attacks, they must have extraordinary sight. But they didn’t start attacking me until I trespassed their area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant there was something preventing them from attacking me if I was out of their region. And that made me come up with such an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Sizzle!* *Sizzle!* *Sizzle!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I reached that tree, I started to work fast. I held the two daggers and started sharpening their edges against each other, releasing dense sparks of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in a few minutes, these sparks caught up with the tree and started to burn fiercely. I looked at this in content, slowly retreated back inside the basin zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even with that, I didn’t lower my guard. I kept holding my shield and protected myself with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next ten minutes, the fire started to run wild. I noticed the weather here was quite dry, and I didn’t see a single pond or lake or any source of water around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was clear with bright light. It was nearly impossible for it to rain today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now all I had to do was to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I expected, once I left their zone, these monsters stopped attacking me. But even with this calm situation, I didn’t lower my guard or even leave my shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept stealing glances every now and then. The fire spread fast, taking over a wide stretch of area with fierce orange burning thick tongues of fire that extended to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than five minutes, the fire reached these monsters. I heard many roars coming from the depth of this place, but didn’t intend to move out now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact my plan depended entirely on causing a distraction by the fire, then slipping fast towards the next basin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire wouldn’t differentiate between me and monsters, yet I had a weapon up my sleeve. I waited for another half an hour, while the roarings kept rising, and the side trees away from the fire started to show movement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-06-06T05:58:32.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8a3473ad0fde4ebea6371ac040182b62f8fb9a1ff2b1280d92259b65da68da2","i-only-wanted-a-class-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-428","i-only-wanted-a-class-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-427",1985,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-only-wanted-a-class-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
