Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

First Rank 1 Monster Kill[1]

[Ace POV],

My twin blades were in my storage ring as I didn't intend to use them in this fight. I said fight as it was clear from the eyes of the rank 1 fire eagle that it had already marked us as prey which was understandable as even though the pressure we emitted from our body was comparable to that of a rank 1 specie, we were still not rank 1 specie so it was not surprising that we would be seen as preys in the eyes of a creature was stronger and was an even higher level than us.

Of course, it being at a higher level and rank than us didn't mean it was a creature that was dangerous to us. Anna's shadow crow was enough to deal with it. Though the shadow crow was a level lower than the fire eagle as it hadn't acquired enough primordial records to level up, I still believe it could take it alone since I saw what it could do to two fellow rank species and this one was alone. Perhaps if it kills this fire eagle, it would be able to level up.

I could level up too as I had enough primordial records to do so. In fact, I could level up twice since the number of monsters I had killed ever since I gave myself a rank 1 physique was many but I didn't level up as I intend to keep them in case of danger to heal myself and to farm primordial records.

But even though I was a level lower than it, I still believed I could kill the rank 1 fire eagle with a little trick added as I already had a certain amount of experience with fire eagles.

With me and Anna, that made it two people in this team who could kill the fire eagle. Emma could also kill it with some effort and it will be a little hard for Chris to kill it with his level and inexperience with using fire and wind magic.

With all this, it was already easy to recognize that in reality, the fire eagle posed no threat to us.

But like seriously, are fire eagles that common? We met them there and now we encountered one here. Or is that the fire element was the most compatible element with eagles when they mutated because of mana?

'It should be so', I thought as I heard Anna's voice beside me as she spoke.

"A fire eagle huh? Who wants to kill it? I still want my crow to rest", she said as she used a free hand to pat the head of the crow on her shoulder.

"Let Ace take it on. It looks like he wants to try", Emma's voice sounded as she spoke.

Though I could hear their conversation, I did not speak as still kept my gaze on the fire eagle who was circling over our heads as I thought of ways to keep the rank 1 fire eagle from flying when it dives down to attack.

Though we could take care of the monster with some effort, it still had an advantage over us as it could fly. Though this meant nothing for Anna and the shadow crow as they could fly, it was troublesome for me as I couldn't and if I wanted this kill to be counted to my job quest, I had to kill it alone.

As I thought of these things, I spoke to my teammates without looking back.

"I'll take on the fire eagle and if you see I can't manage to kill it in a short amount of time or kill it at all and it wants to escape, you guys should make sure it doesn't as we wouldn't want it to bring more troubles for us. We just got here and still don't know a thing so it escaping is a no", I said and immediately my voice landed, the rank 1 fire eagle in the air gave a loud screech as it dived in my direction with its claw stretched to me.

Perhaps it was because I was the only one who showed the intention of fighting, the rank 1 fire eagle targeted me first but if it thought all it needed to do was capture and that was the end then it was wrong.

As I thought of this, I quickly rolled to the ground to dodge the crow attack and turned back immediately I finished rolling to throw a fire arrow at the rank 1 fire eagle before it could fly back higher to the sky after I dodged its attack but unfortunately it was faster than me.

After flying back to the sky, the rank 1 fire eagle gave another loud screech as it dived down from the sky in my direction again.

As it was still early in the fight, I did not have to worry another the rank 1 fire eagle flying away when it saw it couldn't kill me but that also meant that I had to kill the fire eagle quickly during the time that it still saw me as prey.

Thankfully the fire eagle did not appear to be cautious of the others as it only focused on me as I was the only one who showed the intention to fight.

Perhaps it was because it didn't take me and the others seriously or maybe it was because it had the never surrender characteristic of eagles regardless of how its prey was.

If it was the latter, it would be good as it meant the eagle wouldn't give up on me its prey.

But even if it was like this, I couldn't delay ending it.

Eagles sometimes like to flock with the same race despite being the king of the sky so I wouldn't want to risk it if this particular fire eagle had family members to help it.

As I thought of this, I dodged another attack from the rank 1 fire eagle and launched one of my own at it.
