Chapter 208 A Message From Anna

A Message From Anna

[Third Person POV],

Seeing as the earth gator's tail approached, Ace quickly gave a short jump while twisting his body in mid-air to avoid the tail attack, which he did successfully.

Even so, he wasn't given time to catch his breath because an earth spike appeared in the area not far from his leg, and by the time he realised it, it was too late to avoid it.

Thankfully, he wasn't a one-element individual, as he quickly circulated mana in his body while targeting the earth elemental mana in his body, and just as the earth spike was about to hit him, an earth wall arose from the ground to block the attack.

However, due to the sudden clash between the two earth magic creations, the gush of wind created by the collision flew Ace in another direction.

Because of its size and weight, the earth gator remained in the same location, unlike Ace, and if the wind was not strong enough to destroy regular built on spe, it was difficult for the wind to simply carry the gator to another location.

Apart from that, there was one thing that kept Ace's expression calm, and that was the gator's current state, which was quite bloody.

For one thing, the earth gator's body was destroyed by a dense amount of sword-like slashes that appeared to be caused by a blade. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Aside from that, a newcomer could tell from the surroundings that this battle had been going on for quite some time, implying that the earth gator was likely exhausted from the fighting.

And it wasn't that Ace wasn't tired; he was, but from the way he panted and carried himself, he didn't appear to be as tired as the earth gator and still had plenty of juice in him to keep going.

And it was all because of a single item, the one that was currently in Ace's hands.

It was the Runic Bone Dagger he had just made, and let's just say that it didn't reveal its true worth until it was used in a fight.

Apart from the rune engraved on the bone dagger, the runic bone dagger did not appear to be inferior to other weapons in terms of sharpness and durability.

The rune simply enhanced it.

There were times during the battle when the earth gator wanted to use earth magic to soften the ground beneath Ace's feet in order to sink him, and all Ace had to do was stab the Runic Bone Dagger into the said ground to slow the sinking process.

This happened so many times that the Rubic bone dagger was able to absorb its fill, and when this happened, Ace decided to conduct a small experiment.

After infusing a trace of his mana into the Runic Bone Dagger to activate the rune, Ace threw the bone dagger as quickly as he could in the direction of the gator's feet when the runic bone dagger began to emit a yellowish brown light.

The same magic the gator usually used for Ace to soften the earth beneath him happened to the gator immediately after the Runic Bone Dagger came into contact with the earth close to it, but this time it was stronger because the Runic Bone Dagger was just releasing the magic it absorbed at the closest target beside it, which just happened to be earth gator.

This process was repeated several times between the earth gator and Ace.

Ace took a deep breath before dashing in the direction of the earth gator, looking at the heavily panting monster in front of him, to put this battle to rest once and for all.

...…..

After a few more minutes of battling the monster Ace was finally able to kill it.

Ace did not immediately bother harvesting materials from the earth gator, instead collapsing on the floor and resting his back on the relatively large body of the earth gator while looking at the runic bone dagger in his right hand as several thoughts flashed through his mind.

For one thing, he never imagined the runic bone dagger would be useful in battle, believing it would only play a supporting role, but it was also during this battle that he discovered the flaws of the bone dagger.

This was actually the first time he had attempted to use the bone dagger in a battle, as all of his fights since exiting from the alternate dimension had been done with magic.

Its capacity to absorb magic was one of its flaws.

As an example, if one were to rate a magical attack on a scale of one hundred percent, the bone dagger could only absorb ninety percent, with the true percentage of mana being fully absorbed not exceeding twenty percent.

It was this bad, but it was understandable given that it was Ace's first runic weapon and his first attempt to engrave a rune.

Ace didn't mind the bone dagger's flaws because it was already good enough to have its current grade and function.

Apart from that, Ace had another thought: since this Runic Bone Dagger was made with basic alchemy knowledge in his head, does killing a monster with this dagger count as killing a monster with alchemy because the item was made with alchemy?

With this in mind, Ace didn't waste any time calling the primordial chronicle in his head before heading to a section he was curious about to see if his assumption was correct.

...…

[Kill Unranked Monsters using Magic: [100/100]?

[Kill Rank 1 Monster using magic: [16/50]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with the aid of Alchemy: [1/30]],

[Kill Rank 1 Monster with a single hit with the aid of Alchemy: [0/1]],

[Time Limit: 43 Days: 11 Hours: 42 Minutes: 25 Seconds],

...….

While there were changes since the last time Ace looked at it, Ace's attention was drawn to the third job requirement, which had also changed.

This was something capable and had occasionally given him a headache because this was what he expected to be the most difficult part of the job quest to complete along with the fourth.

But now that he was thinking about it, things did not appear to be so difficult.

As he thought of this, Ace immediately heard a bell-like sound in his head as the text on his panel changed slightly as new bold texts appeared in the center of the panel on top of the hold texts.

After taking his time to read the heading of the text, Ace found out it was actually a message from Anna.𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
