Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Another Stage

[Ace POV],

[You have acquired the primordial records of Rank 1 Fire Eagle Level 27],

Seeing this, I relaxed my guard and made my way toward the fire eagle corpse as I felt something familiar and unfamiliar in me.

It was just like I felt when I successfully made my first pill.

It was a sense of accomplishment but this time it was me killing a rank 1 specie alone.

As I thought of this and made my way toward the fire eagle's body, I heard Anna's voice as she spoke and addressed me.

"Tsk! Tsk! What were you doing before the apocalypse? Staying up in the mountains to practice martial arts and fighting skills?" Anna asked as she attempted to say what I assume is a joke.

It's a joke right?

It's a joke....right?

Am I supposed to laugh here?

Hmmm

Unfortunately, I didn't know how to respond so the air got awkward as Anna's eyes kept twitching. I only removed my attention from Anna when Emma cast a healing spell on me.

"Light Magic:'Heal'"

As her voice landed and I felt my injuries heal slowly, I gave a nod to Emma and said thank you as I continued to make my way forward to the fire corpse body as I ignored the strange-behaving Anna.

When I finally got close to the fire eagle's body to observe it, I couldn't help but shake my head when I saw the state of the body.

It barely had little resemblance to its image before as its body as been badly damaged.

'Perhaps I should have held back a little?' I thought since exchanging the fire eagle body in this state will only give me little coins.

From my experiences in the past, I noticed that the number of gold coins one could receive from the exchange section in the store for monster corpses depended on two things. One was the type of monster the individual intended to exchange with and the other depended on the state of the body of the monster when it was exchanged.

'The most important thing is the crystal. I wonder if it is still intact or not', I thought as I searched the area where I harvested the crystal cores of the fire eagles the shadow crow killed to see if the crystal core of this particular fire eagle is located in the same place.

"Ace, you're rich! Together with the gold coins you receive now and the ones you have before added to the ones you received when you provided healing services with Emma back at the trial ground, you should have a lot of gold coins right?" Anna asked when she got closer to me.

When I heard this, I realized that I hadn't been really keeping a close tab on the total number of coins I had.

'I wonder if they'll be enough for me to buy a technique better than the mana circulation technique', I thought as I called out the primordial chronicle in my head as a blue panel appeared in front of me.

Since I already have a direction, I went straight to the store section to check out my total amount of gold coins.

As I was doing this, my hands were still working on the fire eagle corpse as I searched its chest area for the crystal core.

As these events happened together, I finally saw the number of gold coins I had and the result was a little bit unexpected.

I was expecting the total amount of gold coins on hand should be a little bit more than 20 gold coins at most but I never expected it to be 27 gold coins with a few dozen silver coins added to it.

It was indeed a reasonable amount of wealth though it would soon be exhausted as I already had several things I wanted to do before but couldn't do but now I could.

And about Anna saying me being rich was probably her just randomly talking since she should have a reasonable amount of gold coins at hand since she did exchange the corpses of the rank 1 monsters her summon killed for coins added to the ones she had before.

Of course, it might not be comparable to me and Emma's own though.

As I thought of these things, I finally felt my hand hit something and when I griped it and felt the object I was touching appeared to be a ball-like object, I pulled it out as blood accompanied my hand due to it being in the chest of the corpse chest before.

Seeing the object in my hand was indeed a crystal core, I used my shirt to wipe it clean of blood and put it in my storage ring.

My clothes were already dirty and blood was on them so it didn't matter if a little bit of blood was added to them.

After this was done, I exchanged the corpse of the rank 1 fire eagle in the exchange section in the store for coins and saw that the total amount of gold coins in my hand climbed up to 30 gold coins.

Seeing this I nodded and closed the panel in front of me and turned to my teammates who had already moved a distance away from me because of my body state.

It was understandable as the owner of the body didn't feel comfortable himself.

Thinking of this, I turned to Anna and was about to speak when suddenly a familiar-looking panel appeared in front of me again.

The panel appearing before me wasn't what drew my attention, It was the content written on the panel that did.

To think we were 'lucky' to make it in time before another stage began.
