I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Seeing all this made me stop my soulers from hitting those I froze with my glaive, and made them focus more on taking other Exomachines down.

Even if they got somehow paralysed, they'd still be great experimental specimens for my research department. And who knew, they might even find a way to solve such a problem.

As I arranged things here, I kept hitting the Exomachines, leaving behind a long trail of paralysed ones. I didn't know how to move them, and even tried to give those I controlled using my threads orders to move around.

But that didn't work. And another thing slightly bothered me. If not for that contract artefact, any other contract wouldn't work with them.

I tried, and all the other contracts I had got crushed into nothing after trying to activate them against these Exomachines.

Yet that proved they got souls, and that proved they might be considered some sort of a unique race.

However no matter how I looked at them, they couldn't be related to any race at all! They were more like AI machines, and that was the best example I could find that was close to them.

Aside from that, things were going on quite smoothly around. My side was crushing these Exomachines better thanks to my effort.

I wasn't just attacking these Exomachines randomly. I was doing it in a way to paralyse the actions of much more than those that got hit by my glaive.

If anyone could see the entire battlefield from above, the sight of all standing still Exomachines, forming sort of separating lines in between dense numbers of other Exomachines would be quite noticeable.

I used my glaive to demarcate tight zones around the still active Exomachines, making them unable to move easily, and even isolating many of them totally inside rings of their immobile folks.

I thought they'd react like any other race if placed under such a situation, crush other Exomachines and extricate themselves from such entrapment.

And weirdly enough, nothing of that happened!

I wanted them to do that so in the middle of such a common push, they'd harm each other, or even end up killing a few.

However as they didn't even budge an inch towards their all silent folks surrounding them, nothing of that happened. Another remarkable thing happened instead.

I got lots of these Exomachines entrapped inside, without the ability nor the intention to break free from this.

Once I noticed such a weird thing, I didn't care about the reasons behind this. I simply gave the order for my soulers to ignore the ones entrapped, and focus on the far away and freely moving Exomachines.

After a few hours, the entire battlefield looked a bit weird! Almost half of it was a grand number of Exomachines, standing still, either paralysed or entrapped, while the other half showed a fierce fight between my soulers and theirs.

As my soulers got relieved from dealing with almost half of them, they moved with their entire forces out, hitting the enemy without fear or hesitation.

If before one thousand hits was needed and took almost ten minutes to get done, now it doesn't take much longer than two up to three minutes.

The soulers flashing at a single Exomachines would be in tens at the same moment.

That didn't happen without the help of my glaive and its miraculous effect. As many soulers got freed from dealing with half of the enemies, the rest joined together and made this possible.

I kept moving forward, yet my speed of advancement got slowed by the widely increasing area of the battlefield.

As I wasn't going to crush them fast, I started to shift my attention towards controlling the free Exomachines.

"Tsk… This is going to take forever," feeling that nothing changes in their defences after getting entrapped. I left the task of handling the rest of the Exomachines to Lucas and retreated to the entrapped Exomachines, and then took tons of my bones out.

If it'd take such a long time to deal with them, then there was one simple and guaranteed way to cut such time shorter, using my bones!

I took enough to make me feel the same old pressure that I felt before at many occasions. I endured, gushed all of these into the two arms of mine, powered up the threads coming out from my technique, and that showed a great change in everything!

I thought only speed in crushing the defences down would get affected. However I was gladly surprised to notice that even the number of my threads got multiplied by many folds, and that increased the span of Exomachines affected by my threads.

The already thick threads were quite fierce! Before using my bones, taking control of a single one would take roughly four hours from normal threads, but less than two from the thickened threads.

And now? It'd take roughly one hour to take control over the Exomachines using normal threads, and almost ten minutes using the thickened threads!

If that was before, it wouldn't be so great. My threads could control at most fifty thousand of the enemies at one time.

However after the sudden increase in energy influx towards my threads, the number increased to be in the hundreds of thousands.

And that made it quite worthy!

"It seems the energy I pushed into the threads can't affect these shields quite a lot… So the number of my threads increased…"

After two hours of doing so, I finally started to get a handle on what truly happened.

I injected tons of my energy through the two techniques, and the threads seemed to not be able to use the energy properly for a reason.

So the threads started to multiply on their own. I noticed that the threads kept increasing in number, breaking into two or even three threads once they touched the shields, invading other Exomachines around.

When I noticed this, I tried to do something and controlled my threads for a long time.
