Chapter 321 [Bonus chapter] The Mad Jumper

“No, you are getting it all wrong,” but she seemed to disagree with me, “the system doesn’t evaluate your performance in the quests, but your overall performance in the apocalypse in the past five quests.”

“So…”

“You have already exceeded the needed conditions of the quests,” she sighed, “you even expand your territory beyond the reach of one city. Tell me, how many cities do you have now? Ten? Twenty?”

“I lost count already,” I laughed and she also joined me.

“That’s expected,” she said, “but anyway, you already exceeded the basic requirements of any quest. Besides you did brilliantly well in facing all the strong enemies in the apocalypse so far. Manipulating two big races, killing many archlords, and even fighting against Hectors and winning so far… if anyone can claim the golden quests in the human race, then you will be that one.”

“Each race will only have one representative?” the memories of the quest I went through to get my class resurfaced in my mind.

“No, it’s open for anyone excelling in the previous five quests,” she corrected me, “so it’s normal to see lots of representatives from each race there. But it’s not that big of a deal anyway. It’s just a rewarding quest, nothing much about it.”

“Hmm… Can you tell me more about these quests then?” as she already was speaking out of her past experience, I asked for more info about these quests.

After all from her words, these golden quests seemed nothing big or important at all.

“They are nothing important,” she waved before adding, “in such quests we will be teleported to a fallen world, one of those who lost the apocalypse or got destroyed in the ongoing universe level war.”

“Aha…” I recalled the green world I visited before, “and?”

“We’ll get fixed time in each world. We can get anything from this world, but don’t get your hopes high. After all these worlds are all abandoned and lost for a long time.”

“No living races there?” I asked in doubt and she was lost in thoughts for few seconds before saying:

“In a few worlds I met up with the remaining races there. But in others, I met none,” her eyes suddenly shone before adding, “but I have to say I never had anything like your chariot. So I had to walk and that might have limited my ability to explore these worlds. Besides, taking back these races seemed hard to me to do.”

She looked up at my chariot in envy and I could understand what she meant. After all, my chariot was a mighty weapon in such quests.

If I wasn’t pressured by that quest before, then I’d have explored that green world. As for taking these races back, I might have a way or two to do so.

If I couldn’t bring them back, then absorbing their souls and storing them in my class would be enough. I could summon a few of these races if I ever met up with any interesting race.

Also I had to ask the green nymph lady about how she managed to bring races from one world to another. If that way was feasible, then I could also prepare this method before going to the golden quests.

But that didn’t also solve the mystery of the old man’s words. What? Were few of these worlds belonging to his race or what?

“Anyway that’s something for the future,” I decided to let that issue down for now, “for now we’ll have to deal with the problem of the upcoming two quests.”

“Are you still planning to participate in them?” She looked worried at me.

“I have to,” I shrugged, “what? Don’t tell me you don’t trust your man.”

“If you called yourself my man then of course I trust you,” her face beamed with a smile, before all of sudden the atmosphere got electrified without warning.

“Keep your dirty hands off him!” a loud scream came from the direction of the stairs before a flash passed by my eyes.

*Bang!*

I saw the jumper pushing Hilary away from me with his sword. Hilary reacted fast, and stopped his sword by hers.

“What’s the meaning of that?” she glared at the jumper in burning eyes, and I stood up, looking at this and back at Karoline.

The one who shouted was surprisingly the jumper. Karoline was still on the stairs when that dude screamed and jumped at her like that.

“Stop it,” I said to the two as they seemed this close from turning this into a death battle.

“He started it!” Hilary shouted in a fierce way, “that damn masked man, what? Are you now acting as that girl’s guardian or what?”

“I can’t tolerate seeing such a snake crawling over him,” the jumper roared back and I knew that the bastard went crazy here.

“What’s going on here?” The spearhead came next and then the chariot was filled with my people. Angelica was the only one standing on Hilary’s side, even moving to stand by her side and unsheathing her sword in the face of the jumper.

As for Karoline, she stood for a second in daze before she stood by the jumper’s side. She didn’t take out any weapon, but with her presence, the rest stood by her side.

“So are we going to fight among each other now?” I didn’t like this situation, “why not summon my boys and let our fists do the talking?”

Just saying that made everyone stop glaring at each other and look at me in doubt and question. From the look over my face, they realised I wasn’t joking.

In a few moments, they all moved away from each other, while Leo jumped and stood by my side.

“I didn’t take part in any of that,” he said and I gave him a warning glance.

“Says the one who stood behind the girls,” I said in disdain. That dude seemed to change his target from Sara to Alex, standing beside her.
