Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Burn.

[Third Person POV],

"So, what are we going to do about him?" Anna questioned.

The 'him' she was referring to was Wayne, but because she doesn't know him, she can only refer to him as such.

When Ace heard this, he turned to face Anna and spoke.

"What do you intend to do to him?" He inquired.

"Make him pay," Anna stated.

"Pay for what?" Ace inquired.

Hearing this, Anna, who was about to speak, became speechless. She didn't expect Ace to respond with a question like this, and she can't say she's trying to make the boss of the men who had bad intentions for her pay, can she? It was even debatable why she would want to avenge such people in the first place.

After hearing Ace's question, Anna, who had previously desired to serve justice, began to question her motives.

Ace shook his head and spoke when he noticed this.

"My mother used to say that when someone shows you goodwill, you replicate in kind, and when someone shows you bad will, you also replicate in kind and multiply it," he said, pausing before continuing, "She told me this saying originated in the ancient times of the old age." Though I don't understand why people would go to such lengths and stress for something like this, I've learned to comprehend it as a result of her teachings."

Ace turned to face Anna and spoke again after taking a long look at her.

"By now, you should understand what I'm trying to say," he said.

Of course, Anna understood what Ace was saying, but she couldn't say she would respond in kind to the boss of the macho men by harassing him, could she?

Rather than calling it harassing in kind, she would simply be pleasing him in certain ways.

Anna asked Ace a question while she was thinking about this.

"Ace, how would you repay someone who meant you harm with what you just said?" She questioned.

Hearing this, Ace gave his reply and spoke.

"If it had been before the apocalypse, I would have reported to the authorities, but in this new world where law and order may become extinct, I guess I might go for the kill depending on how severe the person intended to harm me is," Ace said calmly as if what he was saying was normal.

Perhaps it was to him, but not to Anna and Emma. They both had no idea the word 'kill' would come out of nowhere.

Unlike the other two, Chris turned to look at his sister, who was innocently staring at him when he heard what Ace said. When he saw this, he clenched his fists and wore a determined expression, as if he had just made an important decision.

Ace, who felt the atmosphere wasn't right, turned to look at Anna confusedly, wondering if he said something wrong, which he didn't find when he thought about it.

"Can you kill a person, Ace?" After some thought, Anna asked.

"Yes, depending on what the person did to me," Ace said matter-of-factly, to which Anna responded by swallowing her saliva hard.

Ace realized why she had asked him in the first place after answering her question.

Thinking that he needed to instill a piece of knowledge in her, he spoke.

"Say someone came to you with the intent to kill, and you happened to be stronger and subdued the person; now tell me, what would you do next?" Ace questioned.

Anna was unable to respond to this question as Emma, who was standing beside her, was wearing an uncertain expression.

"Seeing your behavior now has only confirmed that you are still unaware of the status quo. If your response to my question is to let go of the person, I can only tell you what I can tell you. In the end, it is your choice "Ace finished speaking and stood up to make his way out.

When Emma and Anna heard what Ace said, they felt complicated for a while as they both thought the same thing.

After all, they had only awoken five days ago, which meant they had only been in this unfamiliar and familiar new world for five days. No matter how hard they try, changing themselves is difficult, especially since it has only been five days.

Emma gave Anna a complicated look before leaving to catch up with Ace. She was similar to her in that she had a similar mindset.

Chris had long followed Ace with his sister as soon as he stood up.

Unlike the two teenage girls, despite being younger, he was far more decisive because everything he has done and is doing since the beginning of the apocalypse has been for his sister.

When Anna noticed that everyone was leaving, she quickly followed them.

Standing at the back of the group was Anna with a determined expression on her face, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was forced.

...

Somewhere in another location was a black and silver crow flying in the air after Anna made her decision.

Its current location was atop a specific building.

This was the building where Wayne and his other remaining men were.

There were several men surrounding and humiliating three women at this very moment inside the building.

Worse, in addition to the current gang r*pe, these women were dead.

And, based on the disturbing expressions of the three women, a middle-aged woman, and two teen girls, it was easy to guess what they were thinking before they died as a result of what was going on.

But this didn't stop Wayne and his men from humiliating the women's Bodies even after they died.

What they didn't realize was that this scene was being replayed in the eyes of a black and silver crow who was standing at the window, staring at them.

Perhaps they saw it and ignored it because, while it appeared strange, it also appeared harmless. What they didn't realize was that what they were doing was replaying itself in Anna's eyes.

Anna, who had previously experienced complicated emotions, felt her heart become cold.

And with a single thought, she issued a command to the crow, which it received a few seconds later due to the distance.

"Burn them all down."

Since the clone was created from the crow's main body at its peak, it was able to use some of the main body's rank 1 abilities.

No one would have guessed that the first people to taste the crow's flames were humans rather than monsters.
