Chapitre 50: Alchemist in the Apocalypse

Alchemist in the Apocalypse.

[Ace POV],

Eleanor and Elsie led me and my team to a building after we had a successful conversation with Adara about her lending me a place to stay for the night. After they had completed their work, they left.

Because there was no power supply, the entire environment was dark, and there was no artificial light lit to avoid attracting monsters, but I could still see the outline of the building.

The structure was simple, consisting of a bungalow and a garage.

Seeing that there was nothing else to see, I made my way in with my team.

As I opened the door to the building, I raised my hand and circulated my mana to my hand using the method I learned in the fire manipulation stroll, lighting a small blue fire hovering slightly above my raised hand and making my way inside.

The building was illuminated and not in the dark because of the flame.

I told Anna to put the sleeping Mia on the sofa in the sitting room and Chris to take down all the curtains because if the light from inside the building reflected outside, I would defeat the purpose of the camp not providing a source of light for themselves.

I instructed Anna to release as many crows as she could still release after the curtains had all been drawn and let them remain in various locations around the building we were in so they could keep an eye out.

After that was done, I stumbled over to another sofa in the sitting room and weakly collapsed on it.

Anna followed suit.

"Today was really exhausting, wasn't it?" Anna stated as she began a conversation.

Hearing this, I looked at Chris, who was already fast asleep, sitting on the sofa his sister had placed him on and replied, "

"Yes, it was," I simply stated as thoughts ran through my mind.

Even if I don't include the battle with the special level 18 zombie, today has been exhausting.

Even after the battle with the zombie, I didn't take a break to rest.

As I was thinking about these things, Anna spoke again.

"Ace, what do you think about the world right now?" she asked.

Hearing this, I only thought about it for a second before responding.

"It has changed, looks like the end of the world we once knew," I said.

"This looks like the apocalypse" Anna said.

"Apocalypse?" I said as I tilt my head a little to look at her.

"Yes, Apocalypse", she said as she continued.

"Doesn't this look like the end of this world?" she said.

I couldn't respond after hearing what she said.

I could call everything that is happening right now the end of the world, but I somewhat agree with the term 'apocalypse' now she said it.

After all, this appears to be one.

Zombies, humanity being forced to fight and survive, and many other things.

All of this appears to be a concept found only in an apocalyptic fantasy novel.

But now it's real and happening right now.

Anna spoke again as I was thinking about these things.

"In this situation, you, I, and everyone else are just survivors in the apocalypse," she stated.

When I heard this, I shook my head and looked at her, saying,

"You're a summoner in the apocalypse," I said, adding, "I'm not sure about others," to which I got a chuckle as a response.

After saying this, I brought back my attention to the ceiling but noticed that everything was too quiet when I had not received a response, only to look at Anna and discover that she was already sleeping.

Seeing this, I stood up and used my free hand to position Anna on the sofa.

After that, I went to the side of a window and lifted the curtain a little to look at the clear and stary sky.

'Summoner in the Apocalypse? 'That sounds nice,' I thought as I stared at the sky and stars that flickered with light from time to time.

'What should I call myself then?' I wondered.

'Survivor in the Apocalypse?'

'Fighter in the Apocalypse?'

'Magic Archer in the Apocalypse?'

'Twin blades user in the Apocalypse?'

'Alchemist in the Apocalypse?

'Hmmm, Alchemist in the Apocalypse. "That sounds nice as well," I thought.

Looking at my sleeping teammates, I made my way to the garage door in the building.

Anna stated that as long as her crows are still materialized in the real world, even if she is sleeping, they will remain and perform their functions, such as reporting to her.

I didn't have to think too hard about this.

As I entered the garage, I called out my status and went to the store through the primordial chronicle.

'It's finally time to do some Alchemy.'
