Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Chapter 238 Duplicate !!!!



[This chapter is the raw chapter of the previous chapter which is not supposed to be posted here, am very sorry]

[Ace POV],

Something I've noticed in the true world is that while it was the most dangerous place I could ever be in my life till now, it was also the place that felt like home.

Unfortunately, mom and sis were not here.

I really wonder when they will arrive here.

Well, I am still thinking they're alive, that is and for some reason, immediately this thought came to my head, my heart ached so I stopped and just continued to do what I was doing and removed every distracting stuff in my head.

After doing this, I continued to make my way deeper into the cave till I finally reached the end after spending a few more hours grinding magic gems and primordial records.

At this point the second requirement for my job was completed which meant that only the requirements related to alchemy remained to be completed.

In any case, I could finally start working on an item that was capable of shaking the earth rat den and killing a lot of monsters at the same time in a single hit even if it was only one monster.

But I had to wait to leave the dungeon and return to the alternate dungeon and start my experiments but for now, I had matters to attend to.

As I thought of this, I turned to look at the monster in front of me that was situated in front of a door.

These were the monsters I encountered at the end of the cave. I'm guessing this is a cave because apart from there being no more gems on the wal from a certain distance behind when i was coming here, the was also a monster in front of a door that looked at of place since this was a place where monsters were trapped so thinking about it, it was reasonable to suspect that the door behind the slime monsters is the exit and the slime monster is something like a boss or a guardian here.

At least that is how it works using the logic of how dungeons work in video games.

In any case, i would only find out about what the purpose of the door really is after i killed the slime monster blocking me from reaching it.

[Rank 1 Slime Monster level 36],

The slime monster was a level above me so i believe i can handle it and together with the fact that all the slime monsters i have killed regardless of their levels attacked almost the same way, i was expecting this fight to be a little bit easier.

As I thought of these things, the huge ball of slime that was standing motionless still in front of me suddenly moved with a fast speed in my direction or should I say it bounced instead.

Thankfully, i was already prepared for battle the very beginning i saw the ball of slime so i wasn't caught off guard by its action and was able to moved away in time when an acid spray from the slime monster landed on the spot i was standing before and before it could send another acid spell to me, i immediately did a quick chant for the magic arrow spell but unfortunately failed at the first intonenation of the spell which resulted in it not working and this was just enough time for the slime monster to send another spray attack.

I was already a little proficient in using the quick chant to cast the magic arrow spell but there are sometimes i fail and this time just happened to be one of those times.

Apart from this, the fact that the slimes could spray acid from any part of their body didn't help the since they had no face or head to make their attacks limited to this but thankfully i was also able to successfully dodge the second magic spray sent in my direction by the slime monster ans since i've learned my lesson from the first failure at usng quick chant in this fight, i didn't bother using it again and just circulated the mana in my body to purely manipulate to dish out pure elemental attacks.

Well, I could only do that after I dodged the third attack sent to me by the slime monster so after circulating the mana in my body to a certain extent, I created several fire arrows and immediately after conjuring the arrows, I shot them at the slime monster.

I specially avoided targeting the area the crystal core was in the slime since i could see it through its transparent body and since i could attack with my earth element to avoid causing the slime to spit due my attacks, i could only stick with attack the slime monster with long range fire magic and thankfully, the style of attack and habits of the slime monster did not change much from from the ones i've encountered in the dungeon before so after a few more minutes of battle, i was finally able to kill the monster.

After taking in several deep breaths to calm my rough breathing due to the jumping around here and there in the fight against the slime monster, i made my way closer to it's 'melted' corpse to harvest its crystal core adding it to the total number of cores i had on hand which was quite a lot since the ones from the earth rat den was still then.

The epic grade storage ring is really a treasure because even with all things i had in it, it was still not full but it was messy which was my fault but since i could arrange it any other time, it was not much of a problem but really, is this blue slime the only type in their race?

I thought of this because since my journey through the dungeon cave, it was only the blue slimes i was encountering and did come across any other type or rather variant of slime.

Perhaps it might be because of this particular dungeon since it was only just a curious thought of mine, I later put it in the back of my head and focused on the door beside me.

'I wonder if its truly the exists outside", i thought as i slowly made my way to the door and opened it just to see a portal at the other side of the door and since there was no use staying here again since i've harvest the magic gems here, i made my way into the portal without hesitation as my vision suddenly went dark before finding myself right in front of another portal and after taking a look at my surroundings, i released where i was.

This was the spot i saw the blue portal I initially thought of as another thing in the true world and the portal in front of me was the one that belonged to the slime dungeon and seeing as it was still here, it seems like it can still be runned through again.

This was thought in my head when a panel suddenly appeared in front of me and brought me out of it.

[You have cleared the [Slime Dungeon] and received 1* level up reward for the first clearance of the dungeon],

[You have acquired enough primordial chronicle to level up],

Seeing this I choose to use the accumulated primordial records to level up bringing my level to level 36.

I believe that in the true world now, I already have a certain strength to contend with some things apart from ranked humans of the same level and monsters with the same potential as Anna summoned crow.

Unfortunately it was getting harder to level up and the only way i was able to increase my level by this much is because I was the only one that soloed the dungeon so I got a 100% of everything in the dungeon.

What I am bothered about though is if I can see enter the dungeon again and if I can, will the magic gems still be there?

Apart from the magic gems and the crystal cores which were the only raw materials I could harvest from the dungeon, only the primordial records to be gained was the other factor that attracted me to the dungeon.

As I thought of this, I turned to look at the blue portal in front of me and noticed a slight change in its information given to me by the primordial records.

...…

[Slime dungeon],

[Condition to enter: level 25],

[Difficulty: Normal],

....

The difficulty of the dungeon before was easy but now I am seeing its difficulty being set to normal.

What I believe is that the cause of this is because I had already cleared the easy mode or the dungeon so if I want to enter the dungeon again, it was going to be a level higher.

This assumption would have been proven either wrong or right if I had someone that hasn't enter the dungeon yet but thinking that they're will not be too much danger in the slime dungeon even with its increased difficulty, I decided to enter the dungeon again wondering how different it would be from the one I just cleared.
