Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Confrontation

[Third Person POV],

"Am here" 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"Took you long enough," Maria Dawn said as she walked closer to her husband to hold his hand and quickly recall everything that had happened and everything she thought and told her husband as he nodded to everything she was saying several times and when she finished, he lightly squeezed her hand as he opened his mouth to speak.

"It's okay, I've heard what you have to say so get back to the residence and wait for me", Andrew Dawn said as Maria Dawn quickly opened her mouth to reply when she heard what her husband said.

"But I can help here," she said, looking deeply into her partner's eyes, only to be let down by her husband's response to what she had just said.

"Let's not drag this," he said softly as Maria Dawn was about to respond again to refute, but when she saw the serious expression on Andrew Dawn's face that followed, she just sighed and hugged her husband instead.

When Andrew Dawn saw this, he decided to say something to his wife.

? "And don't worry too much, it's not like a fight is guaranteed to break out anytime soon or anything," he said, and after a few more words, he was finally able to send his wife back to the settlement without making anyone feel bad.

Immediately after seeing his wife pass through the gates to return to the settlement, he turned to the two men who had previously been beside his wife and were now on both his sides and spoke.

"Tell me everything that is going on except what you told my wife," Andrew Dawn said to the two men in front of him, a solemn expression on his face.

What he didn't expect was for both men to suddenly collapse to their knees.

"What exactly is this?" Andrew Dawn said with a hint of surprise and anger in his voice as his powerful aura descended on both men because he wasn't in the mood for what was going on.

With sweat pouring down their faces from Andrew Dawn's intense mana concentration on both of them, one of the men managed to respond quickly as he forced his mouth open to speak.

"We're sorry, my king, but we had no idea that after our last encounter, we were being followed and observed," the man said as Andrew Dawn asked him a question.

"So you're saying that the reason there are nearly a thousand men in front of the territory is because we were unknowingly being followed by someone, which resulted in our location being exposed?" Andrew Dawn requested confirmation from his men.

"Yes"

When Andrew Dawn heard this, he asked another question.

"But even if our location was revealed, wouldn't it be stupid to bring only a thousand men to attack someone with nearly the same resources as you with only a thousand men?" Andrew Dawn asked his men this question because it was very important and perplexing because it made no sense to attack the home base of a powerhouse unless he knew what was going on inside.

What he didn't expect and expected at the same time turned out to be true when one of his men pointed to the figure that followed them, and when Andrew Dawn saw it, he didn't bother asking any more questions.

When he saw the unappealing bird that had been flying above the settlement for some time, he didn't have to think too hard to realize that the situation inside the settlement should now be partially known to the other side.

It was simply a huge blunder on his part as a king not to have realized he was being followed to the point where the enemy knew the state of his base to attack when its defense was at its weakest.

His reaction was honestly disappointing even to himself, so in anger, he summoned a lightning spear and fired it at the relatively large bird flying in the air.

The black lightning he conjured was also darker than usual, as if it sucked one's soul in the more one looked at it.

Most people were unaware that, while most of Andrew Dawn's magic attacks dealt more lightning damage than soul damage, this did not imply that he lacked pure soul magic attacks.

One of his rare pure soul magic attacks was the lightning spear he just shot.

"Rank 0 Soul Magic: 'Disintegrate'"

This was the name of the spell, so the lightning attack was no longer purely manipulated elemental magic.

And why did Andrew Dawn seem to use a quick chant now?

This is because, in addition to the benefits of evolving to rank 1 with a job, there was also knowledge to be gained, but this was only available to those who had evolved.

The lightning spear appeared to have vanished from Andrew Dawn's hand with a zap, and it immediately appeared next to the bird in the air, and without a moment's hesitation, the bird dropped from the air, but this was not what drew people's attention when some of them managed to cast a glance at the lightning spear when it appeared in the air, it was the loud scream that came from the opposing side that drew everyone on the ground's attention.

The roar that followed the scream added to the grandeur.

"Andrew!!!!!"

"Bastard!!!!"

The two loud roars came one after the other in a row, and when Andrew heard the familiar voice, his body was surrounded by small black lightning arcs for a second before disappearing and reappearing in front of his men to face the king on the other side who called his name.

The men in the back who were aware of their king's presence were taken aback by his speed, despite some of them seeing it, while the men in the front who had only recently become aware of their king's presence quickly gave a standing salute.

Andrew Dawn, on the other hand, was completely focused on the man in front of him, who was currently on the ground and hugging a shaking girl in his arms, while the man who was hugging the young girl in his arms was also looking at Andrew Dawn with intense hatred in his eyes.

This figure was actually close to the man before, but despite seeing her on his way here, he ignored her because she was never his focus.

Andrew Dawn had an uneasy thought in his heart as he spoke in a voice loud enough for the man who was also identified as a king in the true world and asked a question, seeing this and the somewhat familiar figure he had seen a few times before the apocalypse.

"Does she own the bird that I just shot down?"

"You bastard"
