Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Strange means of a rare grade job[3]

[Ace POV],

'How am I supposed to match up with this?' I thought as I heard a loud sound similar to a bomb close to me as a gush of wind passed me by and flew my clothes and hair up in the air.

Seeing this, I turned to the source of the sound, which was an attack from Emma.

Around Emma were numerous oil puppets of various shapes and sizes, and based on the numbers, the number of oil puppets opposing her was clearly greater than mine.

It was clear from this who the oil Puppeteer saw as a greater threat to him, and without a doubt, Emma was a larger threat to him than me.

Her light element clearly posed a greater threat to the oil puppets than my fire element.

Something else this world taught me was that the light element was more special than it appeared to be, making the users of the light element special as well. I'm not sure why, but something kept telling me that Emma's light element would be different from other people's light elements.

Or, more accurately, Emma herself was special, which made her light element special.

But this is just my opinion because I haven't seen another light elemental user to compare her with, so only time will tell if I am correct.

But what I did know was that her element was the oil puppeteer's nemesis because multiple rank 1 oil puppets were just numbers in front of her attacks.

As I pondered this, I observed several lit two-meter-long light spears hovering and circling Emma, as the oil puppets surrounding her refused to approach her.

When I saw this, I realized Emma was now contributing more to this quest than I was, and she was killing these oil puppets faster than I could.

It's not like I've killed one.

Thinking of these things, I turned to face the oil puppets that surrounded me, then turned to face Emma and the oil puppets that surrounded her, who were all staring at each other.

Seeing this, I made my decision and brought back my twin blades from the storage ring, using them in a way I had never used them before.

There was a mechanism at the end of each blade in my hands that connected the ends of both blades.

And, given the length of the twin blades, it would resemble a staff. A lengthy staff.

When I connected both blades, it transformed into a staff-like weapon that was slightly longer than 2.5 meters in length.

After connecting both blades to form a staff, I used the function that was still available in this form to coat the weapon in my hand with blue flames while staring at the Oil Puppeteer a distance away who was not even looking at me.

Seeing this, I took a deep breath and turned to face Emma, shouting.

"Cover me!!!" I said as I dashed in the direction of the oil puppeteer, ignoring the oil puppets around me.

Because my voice was quite loud, everyone in the cemetery was aware of my words, as were the puppets around me, who attacked immediately after I moved, but before I could respond, a light shield suddenly appeared beside me as it blocked their attacks, and immediately after blocking their attacks, the light shield strangely bent as it turned in several mini light arrows that shot at the oil puppets around me.

'What control' I thought as I watched the light arrows collide with the oil puppets around me, causing damage to them.

Though some of them did not die when the light arrow struck them, a portion of their body burst into black liquid, allowing me to escape their encirclement as I continued my charge to the oil puppeteer.

Despite having the physical capabilities of a rank 1 species, all of these oil puppets had a fatal weakness: physical and elemental attacks.

They couldn't really be attacked by anything.

Perhaps the puppets are like this because the oil puppeteer was injured to the point where he couldn't make stronger ones, or because of the material used to make them.

I'm assuming there's a material used to make these oil puppets because I saw the oil puppeteer pour some kind of liquid on the scroll before the flying oil puppets could emerge.

Though this weakness appeared to be too great of a disadvantage for the oil puppeteer, it wasn't.

As I previously stated, the oil puppeteer was essentially a one-man army.

You're a powerful rank 1 human? Let's see how you do against two of my oil puppets in rank one.

Oh! You're powerful enough to demolish two of my oil puppets? Let's see how you do against four of my rank-one oil puppets, and if that's not enough, I'll see how you do against six, eight, or ten of my oil puppets.

Fighting an oil puppeteer will be like this, based on what I've seen.

After all, the oil puppet's enemy is basically limited, whereas he can create multiple puppets of the same level as his enemies.

It makes no difference if you can keep destroying the puppets that come after you; in the end, time and numbers will turn against you because the oil puppeteer may simply drain you to death if he has the resources to do so, turning the battle into a battle of attrition.

Of course, the oil puppeteer job may not be as powerful as I believe it to be, but nobody claimed it wasn't.

As I considered these things, I moved closer to the oil puppeteer, who had already focused his attention on me under the cover of Emma's light magic.
