Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

A/N: Dear readers,

You should be able to see my sincere wish to continue this novel, so I hope you support me in any way you can. Thank you for everything and for reading up to this point, and I hope you enjoy today's chapter.

Some of you might have noticed that the war might have seemed a bit rushed. This is because I feel the fight has been dragged on for quite a while, and I want to get back to the main story.

I have many exciting ideas in mind and can't wait to reveal them to you.

Oh, and please point out any mistakes you notice in the future chapters. I've been off for a few months so it's undeniable that I'd have forgotten a few things.

Were we going to come out as winners, or was the ogre king going to emerge as the sole victor?

I said sole victor because I had no confidence in defeating even an injured ogre king.

He was well above my league by more than a few levels.

Even if I went berserk like I did against the emperor, I didn't think it would significantly tip the advantage to my side.

I didn't even want to go berserk again in the first place, so if I saw the ogre king now with no trace of the emperor anywhere, I would leave with Blue immediately.

The ogre king emerging now since the last time I saw him meant he was in a state where he could hardly exert his peak strength, but I wasn't going to risk my life fighting against him when there were no benefits.

After all, the only thing that tied the emperor's soldier and me was that we came from the same empire, and that was it.

There was nothing more.

As several thoughts flashed through my mind and the atmosphere grew darker, the last ogre finally fell.

The once chaotic battlefield was now dead silent as I watched the soldiers silently grieve the loss of their comrades after the war ended.

The silence didn't last long, though, as several soldiers immediately burst into tears.

The number of soldiers that had left the shelter for this war was one thousand five hundred, and now there were barely more than six hundred left.

Perhaps I was the only one who saw the aftermath of this war as a successful one, despite the considerable losses.

As I watched the soldiers grieve and go around the battlefield to gather the corpses of their comrades, I wished I could feel their pain.

I wished that.

How did it feel to lose someone you know?

The moment this thought came to me, images of my sister and mother immediately flashed in my mind.

My chest tightened as I felt a slight pang of pain.

I couldn't quite understand what was going on, but I knew I didn't want to continue with my line of thoughts.

So I didn't.

'I wonder where they are in this world.'

This was an obstacle I still found very difficult to cross.

With a few functions now gone from the primordial panel, I wondered how the future was going to be.

As several thoughts flashed through my head, I saw my teammates from afar, all making their way towards me.

When they finally got closer, no one said anything, and they all just sat on the ground in silence.

Many parts of my teammates' bodies were covered in dirt and dried blood.

It didn't particularly feel comfortable, but it seemed the time spent on the battlefield had made them used to it, enough to ignore it.

It was the same for me.

I wanted to have a bath soon, though.

Even though I didn't exert myself much in this battle, I was physically and mentally exhausted already.

I just wanted to sleep, but until I found a hint of the end result between the emperor and the ogre king, I could not return.

So I just stood and waited in silence, occasionally glancing at Blue in the distance, roasting and eating a few ogre corpses under a few veiled glances.

Seeing him like this made me remember the times I fed him milk when he was far weaker than he was now.

For some reason, my chest, which still felt a little tight, warmed as this thought came to mind.

Soon I found myself distracting myself with thoughts about alchemy and cultivation.

A part of me really wanted to try out the latter when I had time.

Perhaps when we returned to the alternate world.

The time there gave me plenty of opportunities.

Aside from my curiosity, according to the knowledge in my head, this was another way for me to grow stronger without relying solely on collecting primordial records from killing monsters and levelling up.

At the stage I was now, where levelling up became incredibly hard, perhaps this was the fastest alternative to gain more strength.

The whole matter really had me intrigued.

Before I knew it, it finally got dark and night fell.

Just when I thought a problem might have occurred, I saw a shadow heading towards my direction in the sky.
