Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

218 Reason Behind The Power Of A King[6]

Reason Behind The Power Of A King[6]

[Andrew Dawn POV],

Ultimately, after being armed, we spent many hours cleaning the entire palace of monsters.

During this time, I happened to run into my wife and son while they were fighting a monster.

My son has apparently turned into a water bender, and my wife appears to be capable of buffing people.

After assisting them in killing the monsters and celebrating our reunion with a hug, I and my men with my family continued on our mission to kill monsters now that we had the means to do so.

During this time, I noticed another set of gold words in the black rainy skies.

[Time Left: 4 Hours: 43 Minutes: 34 Seconds],

The golden words in the sky appeared to represent a timer of some kind for something, but I had no idea what the timer represented.

As a result, I decided to speed up what we were doing so that I could return to the location where the rest of my men were staying, as I was curious if more of my men had returned.

We also obtained two orange orbs along the way, which were apparently rare-grade orbs according to the primordial chronicle.

There were a few white orbs in the mix as well.

My men and I were also able to level up a few times.

I was at level 15, with the majority of my men at levels 6 to 9, and the four who survived the battle with the mutated cassowary at levels 12 to 14.

My level was higher than the others because we discovered while killing monsters that the greater one's contribution to the battle, the greater share of the primordial records he received when the monster died.

Because of this discovery, my men always made certain that I had the last kill on a monster whenever the opportunity arose.

I initially refused to take part in this act of freeloading and being carried by my subordinates, but they persuaded me that it was their duty to protect their king and strengthen me.

Later, I agreed to listen to them on the condition that they did not always leave the last kill to me on purpose, and that they should kill their own monsters most of the time rather than endangering themselves and prolonging the fight because they wanted me to kill the monster myself.

In the end, none of my men died, and as we returned to the location, I left the other half of my men with the survivors we found along the way, only to be met by hundreds of my men who came with their own survivors they found along the way.

Seeing this, I realised that even in this post-apocalyptic world, I'd have to manage against my will.

Fortunately, Emilia did the majority of the work for me.

As I considered these things, I turned to look at the sky to see how much time remained.

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 37 Minutes: 34 Seconds],

'I wonder if it's a timer for stage one,' I thought, wondering if I had missed any notifications that must have appeared while I calculated the distance from here to the armoury and when I discovered that if my men moved quickly enough, they should be able to return here in time before the timer expires.

Even though I had no idea what the timer was for, I preferred to be with my men, family, and everyone when it ended.

With this in mind, I instructed all of my newly arrived soldiers to the armoury to arm themselves.

At the very least, those weapons are now in use, and while they don't do much against higher-level monsters, it's better to use them so they can't be used again.

Of course, I didn't let my level 1 men go out alone because it was risky, and I told the four men who had been with me from the beginning to follow them and return quickly.

After that, I turned to face the crowd, who were looking at me with respect in their eyes and sighed before turning to assist Emilia with my men and me in organising the people.

My wife and son also pitched in.

But before I got into the real work, I told Emilia to give me a report on what she had recorded, and when I found out that it was around 600 of my men who had just arrived with a thousand or more people, I wondered how they had all arrived in complete states.

But, without thinking too much about it, I helped Emilia a little while I waited for my men who were out to return.

During this time, I considered several things, including what it was like outside now since I had no idea as I'd never had time to ask any of my men who had just arrived.

I'm curious if more will come because there were still a lot of military posts close to the palace.

I wondered how my daughter was doing as I filled myself with positive thoughts, refusing to think of the worst-case scenario.

I may have appeared calm on the outside, but I knew I was a wreck on the inside.

It makes me wonder how my wife feels.

The fact that we couldn't communicate made matters worse.

Adara is probably with capable people wherever she is. Even if it was the brothers with the awkward family relationship, I wouldn't mind.

What was their name again?

Oh yes.

Ace and Brain Blaze. Those two appear to be capable.

I'm curious how they're doing and whether they're with my daughter.

'Is everything going to be okay?'

As my thoughts wandered, my men who were out managed to arrive on time, just as the timer was about to expire.

Seeing this, I nodded to Emilia and my men to begin leading the people to the palace hall, which was capable of holding us all without difficulty, just as we had discussed, and when we arrived, I ordered my men to guard different sides of the hall as I turned to look at the panel that had suddenly appeared in front of me a while ago.

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 7 Minutes: 44 Seconds],

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 6 Minutes: 58 Seconds],

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 5 Minutes: 24 Seconds],

......

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 3 Minutes: 06 Seconds],

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 2 Minutes: 13 Seconds],

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 1 Minute: 43 Seconds],

...…..

[Time Left: 00 Hours: 00 Minutes: 00 Seconds],

...….

When the timer ended, new notifications began to appear on the panel.
