Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!



[Raw chapter so it's unedited. Sorry for this but I'll try to make sure the next chapter is easier to read.

I also want to use this opportunity to let you know that due to the lack of support this book has been receiving which has caused me to be a little depressed, I might take a break next month. I will continue to post chapters but it will not be frequent. I'm not planning to drop the book so don't worry. Thanks for reading!]

[Third Person POV],

"I could not kill her in the end ", Ace thought as he continued running.

What Ace failed to notice as he concentrated on increasing the distance between him and the elves was the dim red light that shone on his back before disappearing.

Well, except he had eyes at his back, there was no way Ace would have still noticed.

What the red light signifies was something that the future would reveal. Right now, Ace just wanted to make sure he got far away from his past location.

Fortunately for him, it wasn't like the night ended badly.

For one, apart from making himself a race enemy at the moment and failing to kill the dark elf in the end, Ace was still able to gain some information from the elf before everything went out of his control.

As for whether the information she gave out was real or not, well, the present body of the dark elf was enough to say a lot.

Ace knew some 'interrogation' skills from the things that he had seen in his past world but it was only when he finally put them to the test by using them on the dark elf did he realise how effective they were.

It was either they were truly effective or the dark elf was just too weak-minded to handle a little pain. It could also be both but regardless Ace was able to learn a few things from the elf's mouth.

He learnt of the elf's purpose, the elf's world and why they were in the true world now and Ace could only say that the future of humanity was looking bleak.

Just as Ace was talking about the things the dark elf had told him, blue in his arms suddenly screeched at him and when he turned to look at the creature, it gestured to Ace to look at the sky and when Ace looked at the sky above him, a slight frown couldn't help but surface on his face.

"I do not have the time for this", Ace muttered as he gazed at the three fire eagles in the sky circling above his location.

It did not help he had left the forest area at this point and was in a more open area where there was little to no cover at all and seeing as three eagles all looked like they had him, Ace knew that he could not afford a fight.

'Seeing how small my body is in comparison to them, how are they even going to share my body?' Ace thought as he dropped Blue to the ground before manipulating the earth beneath him to create a defensive dome for Blue to stay in.

After doing this, Ace turned to look at the fire eagles in the sky.

At this point, it was clear that they were dead on hunting him so a fight was unavoidable.

What Ace was concerned about was the natural advantage they had against him which was flight.

They could attack him on the ground and in the air so the disadvantage he had against them was already clear.

'Too bad I can't fly...', Ace thought when he suddenly had an idea.

'What if I use my origin ability?' Ace thought as he wondered if his transmutation ability could help him achieve flight.

There was no harm in trying and the fire eagles had not attacked yet so Ace wanted to check if he could achieve the ability to fly through transmutation.

Ace focused his attention on his transmutation ability, which allowed him to manipulate the fundamental properties of matter. Combining his scientific knowledge with this extraordinary power, he devised a plan to manipulate the air around him and achieve flight.

With a deep breath, Ace visualized the air molecules around him, their composition and behaviour. Drawing upon his understanding of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, he began transmuting the air molecules to create controlled air currents and lift.

Using his transmutation ability, Ace altered the density and pressure of the air beneath his feet, creating an upward force that countered the pull of gravity. He adjusted the airflow and direction, directing it beneath him to generate lift, just like the wings of a bird or an aircraft.

As he concentrated on manipulating the air currents, Ace felt a subtle change in the atmodimension around him. The air beneath his feet became buoyant, gently lifting him off the ground. With each adjustment of the air currents, he rose higher into the sky.

'It works?'

Ace marvelled at the seamless integration of his scientific knowledge and transmutation ability. By applying his understanding of aerodynamics and utilizing his transmutation powers, he had effectively created his own personal flying apparatus.

With the ability to manipulate the air around him, Ace soared through the sky with grace and precision. He adjusted the air currents to control his ascent, descent, and manoeuvrability, effortlessly gliding through the night.

The fire eagles, taken aback by Ace's newfound flight capabilities, circled in confusion. 

They wondered how this two-legged creature without wings was able to fly like them but this caused them to be a little alarmed as they all rushed towards Ace who had gotten a little distracted by trying to learn how to fly.

Ace's control over the air around him was not perfect so he could not fly perfectly as well.

When Ace heard the screech of the fire eagles that brought him out of his thoughts, he almost lost control of his ability and almost fell down from mid-air.

Thankfully he was able to regain control in time but that did not change the fact that Ace was about to face three fire eagles in mid-air with his imperfect flying.
