Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

[Third Person POV],

Seeing as the rat queen drew a beautiful but terrifying arc in the air due to receiving a powerful attack from Andrew Dawn, Ace could remove his attention from the rat queen, no one knowing what condition it was in currently, and turned to look at Andrew Dawn, who was skipping towards them with slow steps that were in fact so fast that it would take only a few seconds for his to reach Ace and his men.

'Just what did the dragon heart do to you', Ace thought as he watched Andrew Dawn draw closer.

Although the rat queen was evidently weaker than at its peak, it was still not something Ace thought could be easily dispatched since he could see from the rat queen that before they could have their 'rematch', Ace saw that all of its injuries had been healed, including the one it must have gotten from having the den collapse on it and even if it was weaker than when Andrew Dawn first encountered it, Ace did not think that Andrew Dawn would have so much advantage over the rat queen in a battle that made it appear like the rat queen was some ordinary weak monster when it's actually the opposite.

During whatever had just happened, Andrew Dawn was literally toying with the rat queen which was something no one expected including Andrew Dawn himself.

Andrew Dawn knew that he would get strong if he fused with the dragon heart but now that he had been able to show a little of his power, it felt surreal but there was something else on Andrew Dawn's mind because he noticed that all the movement he just did now did not look that much different than what his body could do in the dream world after killing all the dragons and it was even a little more powerful now.

'Am I that strong now?' Andrew Dawn thought as he stared at his hands and clenched them but he did not take any actions to test his limit since he was sure from the little power he had just showcased that if he was to go all out now, he was going to flatten this place beyond recognition.

He had not tested his limit yet but it wasn't like it was only his physical capabilities that benefited from fusing with the dragon's heart.

As Andrew Dawn thought of the things he could still do, he felt a little weird in his heart from having such a huge power-up that he didn't know when he reached Ace and his men's side and before they could wake him up from his daze state, the primordial chronicle had already done so.

......…

[You have acquired the primordial records of Rat Queen Level 37],

...…..

"Huh?"

"It died just like that?" Andrew Dawn muttered out in surprise since he never expected the rat queen, which he did take seriously due to the impression it gave him when they first fought, but Andrew Dawn still expected to live, especially when he just used very little of his power.

"Was it ever so weak?" Andrew Dawm muttered out with a puzzled expression on his face as he stared at the location he sent the rat queen flying to.

"No. You're just too strong now, that's why", Ace said at the side since, like Andrew Dawn, there was also a panel in front of me.

......…

[You have acquired the primordial records of Rat Queen Level 37],

...…..

'But i did not do anything though or did the primordial chronicle count my explosives as my contribution?'

'Hmmm'

'What about Andrew Dawn man who threw the explosives. Did he get anything?' Ace thought as he turned to look at the man who had helped him collapse the den, but seeing that there was no dazed look on his face when one was looking at their primordial chronicle, Ace doubted if he got anything, which was confusing since his actions could somewhat count as contribution.

Either way, it was good for Ace in the end, so he did not bother much about this particular issue and just dismissed his panel.

Although he was not able to level up with the primordial records he received, it was enough to almost max out the primordial records he needed to level up.

He just needed to kill a few more reasonably strong monsters and he'll be able to level up but what use was it when he was about to evolve.

Ace still hasn't forgotten that the more one levels up their physique to be comparable to the rank above them, the more primordial records will be needed when one eventually levels up to that rank.

What Ace was unsure of was if one would lose the physique they levelled up when they evolved.

In the past, this issue had really puzzled him but now, he was more relaxed about it because if he can successfully enter the alternate dimension, he'd be able to evolve to rank 1.

For this, Ace was very expectant to what would happen but before that, he had issues to address here like;

"Do you need the body of the monster?" Ace asked Andrew Dawn who only took a second to think about it before replying.

"You can have it", Andrew Dawn said indifferently and added; "Have this" as he brought out a transparent bottle that had a golden red blood in it and handed it to Ace who immediately took it and used the primordial chronicle to check its information.

[Blood Of An Ancient Dragon],

Seeing the information of the transparent bottle in his hand, Ace eyebrow raised as he curiously wondered where Andrew Dawn must have gotten an item of this value.

Although the use of this said priceless item was limited to a few things, Ace being one of the very few humans from his world who was very knowledgeable had knowledge relating to dragons.

What he was mostly curious about though was why Andrew Dawn would give him this.

It was already more than enough to give him the body of the rat queen and 2000 gold coins but this was already more than he could have expected.

Although he did not know Andrew Dawn's purpose for giving him the dragon blood, he'd be stupid to not accept it. He was only curious after all.

Fortunately for him, Andrew Dawn explained the reason behind his actions just after Ace put the Dragon blood in his storage ring.
