Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

I stared at Blue as certain thoughts flashed through my head.

"..."

'Did I just have my kills stolen by my own pet?'

I could only stare as the ogres I had worked on burned in flames, helpless to do anything.

They were still trapped by my earth spikes and could only groan in pain. The sight wasn't particularly pleasing.

'It's okay. It was getting harder to get stronger anyway. Let Blue use this to increase his level.'

After showering flames on the ogres, Blue flew towards me, a gust of wind following him.

Raising my arm to shield my eyes, I felt Blue land in front of me.

Before I could do anything else, something wet hit my face.

It was Blue's tongue.

Wiping the saliva off my face, I watched as his tail wagged behind him, similar to a dog shaking its tail.

'What is he doing?'

Screech!

Blue let out a low sound, gesturing with his head towards the ashes of the ogres' bodies.

It took me a second to understand his actions.

'Does he want me to praise him?'

Somehow the thought felt a little odd.

It wasn't that I couldn't, but if I did, it was like praising him for stealing my kills.

What if he thought it was okay to continue that in the future?

I might have to start a race with my pet to see who could kill my enemies first.

Even if I took a major part of the primordial records of my enemies, the fact that most of my enemies won't be weak meant that the lost ones would still be significant.

Over and over again, this would lead to an accumulation of significant losses.

I wasn't desperate to get strong, but I did not want to purposely slow down the progress either.

Mosquito meat was still meat, especially when it's taken from a big, strong monster.

However…

"Good boy."

I praised Blue.

I'll let him be happy for now and warn him later. He has been much of a help to me to put him down for this action.

After receiving my praise, Blue took to the sky again to steal more kills.

That's my boy.

I did the same too, though I did not steal anyone's kills but made my own.

I could spot my teammates in the distance.

All of them had something in common: they were individually held up by a couple of strong-looking ogres.

After observing for a while, I withdrew my gaze.

Though those ogres looked a little strong, they were nothing of worry.

My teammates should be able to handle them well.

I just had to focus on the ogres by my side and reduce their numbers.

My killing speed was relatively slow however as I decided to reserve my mana and let the used one recover In Case of an emergency.

There was no need to go hard on ogres weaker than me.

The air was thick with the stench of blood as I stood in the clearing.

Two ogres, each with towering heights, lumbered towards me with the ground trembling beneath their weight.

Their beady eyes glinted with malice, yellow teeth bared in feral grins.

I cracked his neck, flexing my hands, the knuckles popping audibly.

"This shouldn't take long."

The first ogre lunged, a massive fist swinging down like a wrecking ball.

I sidestepped effortlessly.

The ogre fist smashed into the ground where I had stood before, sending mud and debris flying.

With a fluid motion, I pivoted on my heel and drove my fist into the ogre's side.

The impact echoed like a gunshot, and the ogre's ribs shattered beneath the blow.

The ogre bellowed in pain, stumbling backwards.

Before it could recover, I sprang forward, closing the distance in a heartbeat.

I ducked under a clumsy swipe and leapt up, delivering a brutal uppercut to the ogre's chin.

The force lifted the beast off its feet, sending it crashing to the ground with a thunderous thud, unconscious.

The second ogre roared in rage, charging at me with surprising speed.

I met its charge head-on.

My body blurred in motion.

I slid beneath the ogre's outstretched arms, coming up behind it with inhuman agility.

With both hands, I grabbed the ogre's ankles and heaved, flipping the gargantuan creature over and slamming it into the ground on its back.

The earth quaked with the impact.

The ogre groaned, trying to rise, but I was already on it.

I planted a knee on its chest, pinning it down, and hammered my fists into its face.

Each punch was like a sledgehammer, and after a few devastating blows, the second ogre lay still, unconscious alongside its companion.

I stood up, dusting off his hands before looking for my next target.

*******

Before I knew it, the atmosphere got darker and there were barely any ogres left.

The war here was almost coming to an end.

On the other hand, I couldn't help but wonder…..

'This war was surprisingly easy.'

I knew it wasn't over yet though.

Until we knew the result of the emperor and the ogre king battle, we were still at war.

But it didn't change the fact that the war coming to an end.
