Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

[I keep posting the wrong chapter for some reason later so I am very sorry and I will make sure it stops.

Thank you]

Is This A Good Method?

[Ace POV],

Coming out of the bronze door, I immediately appeared in the dimly lit room outside, and since this wasn't my first time doing it, I simply closed the opened bronze door and made my way to the surface via the stairs while coating my right hand with blue flames to illuminate my surroundings.

I could make these long stairs invalid by running, but what was the point of that stress when I could just work for a little longer? So, in the process of wanting to return to the surface through the stairs, I thought of some things to keep me company as I continued forward.

With these in play, it didn't take long for me to reach the surface unknowingly as I set my eyes on the somewhat haphazard cover I made for the entrance that led the outsiders in and the insiders out.

Seeing this, I removed the cover I had placed there and made my way out, then replaced it as I removed all traces of my presence there as a whole as I moved further away from the hill that held the alternate dimension's entrance.

I had previously told the others to do the same whenever they came out to avoid outsiders discovering our home.

This method would not have been necessary if I were ranked near the top of the human race, but unless I can find a safe place to kill rank-one monsters and practice alchemy with them, I won't be able to evolve to rank 1 and will have to rely on these cheap methods for the time being.

After all of this, I turned to look at the sky as I made my way away from the hill that led home, covering every trail I had left on the way.

Unlike when I was here and had to cover my eyes with my hand when I looked at the sky, there was no need for me to do so now that it wasn't sunny.

Anyone could tell it was already evening by looking at the sky, and by looking at the time I left the true world when it was close to the evening at the time, I could tell the time difference between the alternate dimension and the true world was and is much slower than that of a dungeon.

The dungeon where I first met Emma.

All of this meant that I had to fight rank 1 monsters in the dark.

If the monsters here behave exactly like animals did in the old world before the apocalypse and are more active at night, it might be better for me to just head back to the alternate dimension and come back later, but remembering that I will have to spend several days in the alternate dimension before night time here can pass, I immediately removed any thought of heading back in m

I'm not sure if 'hunting' in the dark in the true world was an advantage or disadvantage for me, but I did know that being in the dark provided better cover for me, which was very useful in a world that appeared to be a den for unranked monsters.

As I considered these things, I continued forward before coming to a halt and squatting on the ground because there was a foot trail on the ground in front of me that appeared to be made by a monster rather than a human.

When I saw this, I began to wonder if I should follow the monster's trail, and it didn't take me more than a second to decide to do so.

For one thing, instead of aimlessly wandering around, I had a direction to follow, and even though I had the map to avoid getting lost, that did not mean I would want to venture far from the hill every time I went out.

If this was the case, it meant I needed to start preparing materials for living in the wild rather than returning to the alternate dimension to rest.

After all, my time limit was still counting regardless of which world I was in, so it didn't really matter where I stayed during this time.

If only my quest's time limit could be paused whenever I enter the alternate dimension.

If this was possible and it happened, I could already imagine a few scenarios.

As I considered these things, I continued trailing after the creature, which had left its footprints on the ground before coming to a halt a short time later due to the sound I began hearing in front of me.

I calmed down and listened carefully to the sound I was hearing to see if I could recognize it, and after a while, I realized that the sound I was hearing was actually snoring.

But, based on what I can see, this was clearly not made by a human, and if it was, that person was either a pig or extremely tired.

Despite these thoughts, I didn't stop moving as I moved closer to the source of the sound, but this time my charge was much slower as I tried to make little to no noise as I moved.

My curiosity grew as I got closer to the source of the snoring, and I began to wonder what kind of creature could be sleeping in the woods late at night.

Of course, many animals slept at night, and I recognized some of them, but that didn't stop me from wondering which one it was, and, once again, I don't think I should be comparing animals to monsters.

As I considered this, I slowly made my way through the darkness until I could see what was making the noise.

Interestingly, one of my guesses was an ape making snoring noises.

It should also be mentioned that it was quite large and tall.

It was at least twice my height and was red in color.

When I saw this, I came to a halt and focused my entire attention on it, intending to use the primordial chronicle on it from this distance to check its information.

[Rank 1 Fire Ape level 27],

Hmmm.

That's good.

It's a level lower than mine, but still.

What if it's something like a rare-grade monster, like the wind hawk?

I don't believe I can easily defeat a monster who can use magic better than me, even if the monster is of a lower level.

As I began to make my way toward the fire ape, an idea appeared in my head.

Why should I fight the monster when I can simply kill it in its sleep?

It may not appear to be honorable, but honorable was not going to get me a job.

For some reason, this thought feels strange. I knew I had to proceed with caution because the fire ape was a potentially difficult opponent, but before I could even get close to it and end its life, it stopped snoring and opened its eyes suddenly, and looked at me.

Seeing this, I knew my previous plan would not work now that the fire ape was awake, so I dashed to the fire ape before it could get itself and completely remove itself from its sleeping state and targeted an open space in the fire ape's body that could render all men useless.

Its childbearing organ.

When I got close to the fire ape monster, I quickly made a fire spear and launched it at its area, particularly at its balls, as the monster in front of me immediately let out a wail when my attack connected.

I circulated the mana in my body quickly and created another fire spell before sending it to the chest of the fire ape and as the fire ape subconsciously wanted to defend itself with its hands, it left its bloody lower body to defend against my attack but little did it know my attack just now was a distraction for the real one.

I somehow managed to circulate the earth mana in my body and slam the ground, creating a long unsightly earth spike just under the fire ape's body.

I'm not sure if it was my overthinking, but I saw anger and depression written on the fire ape's face just before the earth spike I created entered its body from its lower end.

After this, and the fire ape had stopped moving, a panel appeared in front of me.

[You have acquired the primordial records of rank 1 fire ape level 27],

Seeing this, I let down my guard as a thought occurred to me.

"Was this really a good way to kill someone?"
