Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

The law of the jungle is equal.

....

[Ace POV],

I assumed that if Anna and I were not discovered by the mutated eagle, the monster would have to fly to another location because it found nothing here.

But who would have guessed that a sudden loud sound would ruin everything.

The strangest thing was that it sounded like a child's cries.

The cries didn't last long because they stopped a few seconds later, but that didn't mean they went unnoticed because the mutated eagle in the sky had already noticed it.

"SCREECH!!!"

The eagle made a loud sound and directed its gaze in the direction of where the sound came from.

At this point, Anna and I were already looking for a way out of this mess.

'I don't know who you are, but you've messed up bruh,' I thought as I waited to see who would bring a child and not control it in these strange events that were taking place.

Looking in the direction of the cries, which came from behind a wall, I waited for the implicator to appear.

Staying in that restricted area will only serve to trap you, so the only way to escape is to come out, but the chances of this happening are slim.

But, if I were the person with the child, I would still come outside because, even if the chances of escaping are slim, the opportunity to do so still exists.

Why didn't I think about the part where the child is the only one there and not with someone else?

That's because it's impossibly impossible for a child to have survived this long without anyone in this new world unless they are the lucky child of lady luck, and if they are truly alone, they would have known that screaming when a monster was nearby would only hasten their demise.

And, as I suspected, whoever is behind that wall was thinking the same thing as me, because the individual came out.

But when I saw the person behind the wall, it's safe to say I was confused, really confused.

A boy who appeared to be around the age of 12 and a girl who appeared to be around the age of 5 and was asleep on his back, covered in long clothing and tied to him were the individuals that came out from behind the wall.

With a determined expression on his face, he held a red colored sword in both hands and stared at the mutated eagle in the sky.

The confrontation between David and Goliath could not even be described in this scene.

This was more of a scene of a child thinking he could compete with an adult.

I couldn't see the boy and girl escaping this no matter how hard I tried.

At this point, I felt a tight grip on my arm.

I turned to Anna beside me, puzzled, and frowned as I realized what was on her mind.

And hell no was I going to risk my life to fight an unknown enemy whose strength I couldn't even estimate.

I'm not even sure if I can survive against the monster, let alone help someone else.

I observed as the monster dove down to the boy carrying the little girl at a rate my eyes could barely keep up with.

But I had no idea why it suddenly happened.

Because, before the monster could reach the child in front of me, I let go of the nocked arrow in my hand, surprising myself given that I had stated that I would not get involved.

My body simply moved by itself.

........

[Anna POV],

As I tried to keep up with Ace in front of me, I kept wondering if I should use the Primordial record I had accumulated to level up so I can at least keep up and not be left behind, or if I should keep it in case of emergency and use it when I needed to heal myself when I received feedback from the connection I had with the crow I summoned that something massive in the sky was heading our way.

Running faster to keep up with Ace, I grabbed his hand and pulled him against the side of an abandoned car by the side of the road. I used my other hand to cover his mouth to stop him from making a sound, and thankfully he didn't resist me the entire time because if he had, I don't think I would have been able to even grip his arm for very long.

When he looked at me with his eyes telling me to explain and his face still plain and flat like always, making you wonder if this guy never smiled in his life, I raised my hand and pointed to the sky, motioning for him to stay still as we both raised our heads to look at what was above us.

And when we did, I was taken aback.

I'm not sure about Ace, but I was stunned because I never imagined an eagle bigger than me would exist.

At this point, I was missing the disgusting old man dressed as a chicken at a restaurant I usually frequent.

Even though he was bigger than me, I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but this gigantic eagle in the sky will.

And, as if that wasn't bad enough, as Ace and I tried not to draw attention to ourselves, we heard a loud noise that drew the attention of the mutated eagle.

What was strange was that the sound I heard sounded like a child's cries.

'Who in their right mind would bring a child out here?' Was he/she fed up with living?' I thought as I looked in the direction of the child's cries and waited to see who was so tired of living.

I knew the person would come out because it was obvious that his/her location had been discovered and staying there any longer would be like serving yourself as food.

What I didn't expect was for the people who emerged from behind the wall to be children.

A boy who appeared to be no older than 12 and a girl who appeared to be no older than five and was sleeping on his back while being bound to him.

With a determined expression on his face, he held a red-colored sword in both hands and stared at the mutated eagle in the sky.

My heart bled when I saw their appearance.

'F**k',

'Of course, children will be involved in this nonsense, but why?'

'They're still f**king young and small,'

'Does the world have to be so harsh?' I thought as I gripped Ace's hand tightly as my heart bled, but I couldn't bear telling him that he should do something to help.

Carrying me alone is enough work for him, let alone fighting a monster whose level is unknown.

All I could do was watch helplessly as the mutated monster approached the boy and child in front of me.

What I didn't expect was for the person I thought would have never batted an eyelid as this kid was killed in front of him to be the first to act.

I saw the arrow disappear with a speed that made it appear like it disappeared as it brought an intense gush of wind with it, which caught me off guard.

What was even more surprising was that after the arrow forced the eagle to stop charging at the boy and girl in front of it, the boy released a blinding red light from the red-colored sword in his hands just as the Ace arrow was released, and it actually managed to injure the Eagle.

When the mutant eagle in the air suddenly turned to look at us, I was unable to consider how such a small body could possess such strength.

'Sh*t'
