Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

[Third Person POV],

\'A spy?\' Andrew Dawn reflected after electrocuting the person on whom he had noticed his gaze.

For one thing, Andrew Dawn didn\'t want anything to go wrong again with issues relating to the dragon heart, so ever since he left the settlement with a few of his men who had already evolved except for Celeb, he had always been on high alert, so as soon as he sensed a gaze on him, he quickly turned to look at the location he sensed it from, and when he saw the location he sensed it from seem to be a relatively dense part filled with thick trees in the woods, he quickly burst out with a fast speed to the location.

To avoid being in a terrible situation later, he had to confirm whether he was just overthinking or not, and when he discovered that there was indeed a figure hidden behind one of the trees with a strange looking creature on his back who was still paying attention to his subject, Andrew Dawn did not hesitate and directly electrocuted the figure by laying his right hand on the shoulder of the figure he identified as male.

The strange creature was not left out, as it was electrocuted as well.

This is how Ace and Blue ended up being knocked out without being able to do anything, which was understandable given Andrew Dawn\'s speed; they would still have never been able to do anything because they lacked the strength required.

Andrew Dawn was taken aback when he saw the appearance of the male figure as he positioned the body of the male who had quite a tall physique and was sneaking up on them.

"Little Ace?" Andrew Dawn muttered, perplexed, as he turned to face his men, who were rapidly approaching his location after discovering where he had vanished.

When Celeb got close to him, he was the first to speak among his men when he saw Ace with a strange creature that appeared to be a combination of different animals beside him on the ground in front of Andrew Dawn.

"Eh?! Mr Ace!" Celeb exclaimed as Andrew Dawn turned to look at him and ask a question.

"Wasn\'t that the name of the man who sold you the magical \'medicine\'?\'" Andrew Dawn inquired, and Celeb responded positively by nodding his head.

When Andrew Dawn saw this, he returned his attention to Ace\'s unconscious body.

\'So it was really you,\' Andrew Dawn thought, slightly relieved that he had only decided to electrocute the figure who was secretly sneaking on them rather than kill him directly.

If this had actually happened, Andrew Dawn would have been guilty to death.

For one thing, aside from being aware of his daughter\'s feelings for Ace, he admired the boy for the assistance and fame his family, excluding his father, had brought to the Dawn Empire.

This may not mean much again because the Dawn Empire was destroyed by the apocalypse, but Andrew Dawn will never forget.

The blaze family were after all the Dawn Empire\'s elite and had contributed to the Empire in some way that elevated it either in fame or progress, and both of these are important.

Andrew Dawn turned his attention to the creature beside Ace after confirming that he had indeed just electrocuted him to the point of knocking him off rather than frying him.

"What exactly is this?" Andrew Dawn muttered as he fixed his gaze on blue, and despite the fact that he spoke in hushed tones and did not try to conceal anything, Andrew Dawn men could hear it quite clearly with their bodies.

After a few seconds, one of Andrew Dawn\'s men spoke up, having managed to clear his mind.

"The creature resembles a lion with an eagle head and wings," the man said as Andrew Dawn slowly turned to face him.

"I can see that. I\'m not legally blind ", Andrew Dawn said, returning his gaze to blue to continue observing it as the man who had spoken before continued to look down at his feet in embarrassment, trying not to look at his laughing colleagues.

"It looks strikingly similar to one of the structured statues in the old age museum," Andrew Dawn remarked as his men\'s laughter ceased and they all hummed in agreement.

When Andrew Dawn saw this, he spoke up again.

"We\'ll know soon enough after I wake the young lad," Andrew Dawn said as he raised his right hand and coated it in lightning. While the small arcs that appeared and disappeared around his hand appeared calm, the appearance of the lightning was terrifying.

Andrew Dawn turned to Ace on the ground and apologized in advance after controlling the lightning in his hand, which was just enough to hurt but not kill.

He\'d used lightning to knock the lad out, and now he\'d use it to wake him up.

Regardless of his intentions, his actions were cruel.

Bringing his lightning-coated hand to Ace\'s chest, Ace\'s body began shaking immediately after coming into contact with the lightning, but Ace showed no sign of waking up after Andrew Dawn removed his hand.

Everyone around Ace body wondered if something had gone wrong when a danger suddenly appeared in the Ace hand that had the storage ring on as he manipulated his body in a strange position to strike at the neck of Andrew Dawn when Ace body suddenly stopped moving when the dagger was only a few inches from Andrew Dawn\'s neck.

"Oh oh, reduce the energy boy," Andrew Dawn said with a smile, but the mana that his body emitted and focused on Ace told a different story.

Ace couldn\'t move in the first place because of the pressure Andrew Dawn was putting on him.

Ace only stopped struggling when he heard the familiar voice and turned with difficulty to look at Andrew Dawn properly for the first time, his eyes slightly open.

Andrew Dawn burst out laughing when he saw Ace\'s expression.

"Looks like I managed to make that face of your move huh"

"Emperor Andrew?"

"Glad to see you\'re doing well boy"
