Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Rank 1 Goblin Lord.

[Ace POV],

The entire seventh floor began to shake as soon as the primordial chronicle informed us that we had met the conditions for opening the Hidden dungeon.

But, strangely, despite the violent shaking on the floor, no fallen rocks or anything else was being destroyed.

The floor, on the other hand, was changing.

Yes, changing.

As the slightly rough ground I was stepping on smoothed out, pillars began to sprout in several places.

The most change occurred in the location where the stairs were usually found on other floors but was a dead end on the seventh floor.

I saw the rocks at the dead end on the seventh floor slowly coming together to form a large grand coronation chair wide enough for two grown men to sit on in front of me.

A large statue depicting a strange-looking creature stood behind the coronation chair, which bore a striking resemblance to the nobles' throne chair.

I was about to observe more when the violent shaking on the seventh floor abruptly stopped.

But when this happened, I didn't even bother to look behind me to see what the others were doing when I felt pressure descend on me.

I'm not sure where it came from, but my body straightened subconsciously as I felt danger ringing constantly in my head.

The pressure increased as I saw three creatures slowly materializing at the throne chair area when the entire seventh floor was violently shaking.

When the creatures finished materializing, I saw their appearance.

They resembled the goblins I'd previously seen.

One goblin sat on the throne chair, while the other two stood guard on either side of the goblin who sat on the throne chair.

I quickly checked the primordial chronicle for information on one of the goblins standing to the side of the goblin sitting.

[Goblin Guard Level 25],

'Level 25?'

When I saw this, my pupil shrank slightly.

Two levels higher than me.

Except for being a little bigger and taller, the goblin guard resembled the goblin knight I encountered on the seventh floor.

The goblin knight was barely tall enough to reach my chest, but this goblin guard was slightly taller and had a broader body than me.

Unlike the goblin knight, who only carried a club, the two goblin guards carried a club as well as a leather amour.

It was strange, but I didn't pay much attention to them because the person putting pressure on me wasn't them. It was the goblin who sat on the throne.

Even though it was still sitting, I could tell the goblin was more than 2 meters tall and very muscular from where I was.

Its hand's muscle was larger than my thigh.

It, too, wielded a club in its hand and was dressed in leather armor, as did the goblin guards.

Even though it was still sitting and doing nothing, I felt the pressure increase on me when I caught sight of its gaze on me.

I checked the information while trying to ignore my unease.

[Rank 1 Goblin Lord Level 25[DUNGEON BOSS]],

'Rank 1?!"

Before I could continue, the goblin lord suddenly appeared in front of me, raised a fist aimed at me, and punched.

'Fast'

I was barely able to bring the twin blades in my hands to my chest to defend the punch in time, but even so, I flew to the other side of the room and created a crater when I had my back to the wall.

That much was the strength of the goblin lord's punch.

'Is this a rank 1 monster?' I thought since I could tell that the goblin lord did not punch me with his full strength, but even so, I flew around the room.

There was still the issue of the goblin lord not using the club in its hand.

Just as I was about to recover and move away from the crater I had made on the wall, the goblin lord reappeared in front of me, this time with a punch to the head.

I knew from its strength that if its punch connected, my head would burst open, but I couldn't do anything but watch as the Goblin lord's fist approached my head.

This is the first time I've visibly felt death approaching since I awoke from the transparent crystal.

This was not like the time with the Asmodeus Serpent.

If the goblin fist connected, I knew nothing else would happen except death.

But even then, I had no fear.

It was something else entirely.

It was like the time with the Asmodeus Serpent.

I felt a rush of unfamiliar emotions.

As the monster's fist approached my face, a shield of white light appeared in front of me.

When I saw this, I immediately shifted my head to the other side, as the white shield in front of me disintegrated and the goblin lord's fist landed on the wall behind me, embedding its fist in it.

Seeing this, I was about to stab with the blade in my hand when I found myself flying again.

At some point, the goblin lord dropped its club and slapped me.

It was just a slap, but it had enough power to send me flying in the opposite direction.

As soon as I had my back to the wall, I felt my organs shift as I drew a mouthful of blood from my mouth.

My entire body hurt, but there was nothing I could do about it.

I knew the shield that saved me was a spell from Emma; if it hadn't been for it, I'd be dead by now.

But seriously, the goblin lord's strength is ridiculous.

Being a rank 1 specie is not as simple as it sounds.

If it had been any other normal or lower-level human, the attack would have turned their body into a meat paste by now.

I wanted to move but couldn't, and from what I could see out of the corner of my eye, the others were busy fighting the goblin guards.

Only Emma was able to help with a spell.

The goblin lord is apparently targeting me for some reason, which I do not understand.

I tried to move as I watched the goblin lord approach, but the more I moved, the more my body ached.

""Light Magic: 'Heal'""

""Light Magic: 'Light Spears""

When I heard Emma's loud chant, I felt something warm wrap around me, and the aches I was experiencing vanished.

When I realized I could move again, I didn't bother to examine the changes in my body because I saw a dense swarm of white-shaped spears gathered on the goblin lord's head.

They all descended on the Goblin lord's head at breakneck speed, but even the terrifying number of spears that descended on the Goblin lord's head were all blocked as the Goblin lord used his club to stop the attacks.

I knew the spells cast now were from Emma, and I believe it took a lot of mana to do so. I don't think she'll be able to do it again soon.

Taking advantage of the opportunity now that the Goblin Lord was dealing with the light spears descended on it, I blurred from where I stood and appeared close to the Goblin Lord, attacking with the twin flame-coated blades in my hand.

I used and pumped all of my mana into the blades and attacked, but my attack was still blocked by the Goblin, who was defending with its club.

When my blades and the club made contact, the hands holding the blades shook violently and I flew back a little.

I didn't hit anything, but the rebound from my blade colliding with the goblin club hurt me.

I could still stand, but my insides were trembling.

Is this a ranked specie?

Is this the difference between a specie that has not evolved and one that has?

This world is truly interesting!

Though my life has been in danger in some way since I awoke from the transparent crystal, it has more or less provided me with what I crave.

Even if it's only a glimmer of what I long for.

But I also learned something.

I'm weak.

Too weak.

Even though we were all unranked, the Asmodeus Serpent, the mutated eagle, and the zombified mutated human all trashed me.

Perhaps to the primordial chronicle, am just a random unranked specie.

""Light magic: 'Bind'""

As Emma chanted, thick solid chains of white light began to appear beneath the goblin lord's feet and attempt to bind it in place.

It was successful because the monster was busy trashing me.

But I knew it wouldn't hold the goblin lord for long when I noticed 'cracks' on the white chains.

When I saw this, I yelled at Emma without looking at her.

"Emma, try to hold on!"

Rushing to the Goblin lord that was about to break free from the chains, I gathered all of my strength and pumped all of the mana in my body into the blades in my hands, coating them in fire and attacking it.

Unfortunately, the goblin lord was able to free the hand holding the club before I could attack.

However, because it had not been prepared to defend, its defenses were lacking, so when my attack hit, the goblin lord's body flew in the opposite direction as my hands holding the blades burst with various injuries and blood gushing out of them due to overload and rebound.

""Light Magic: 'Heal'""

""Light magic: 'Bind'""

I rushed in the direction the goblin lord flew, feeling my body heal.

I saw the goblin lord bound with chains, but the chains were clearly weaker than before, and the goblin lord would be free in no time.

When I saw this, I increased my speed, but before I could get close, the goblin lord suddenly opened his mouth and screamed.

The goblin lord only screamed, but the speed with which I arrived could not be compared to the speed with which I flew out.

'What is that?'

'A skill or spell?'

No, it's not the same.

I can't put my hand on it, but it feels different than the mutated eagle's attacks.

When I saw the goblin lord about to break free from the last chain that bound it, I didn't have much time to think about it.

But before it could, a spike sprouted from the ground and attacked the goblin lord.

"Roar"

When the spike hit the goblin lord, injuries begin to appear on its body.

Although its body defense was strong enough to prevent the spikes from entering its body, they were still able to do a number on it.

'Earth Magic?'

Seeing this, I cast a quick glance around and noticed that Adara was about to finish the monsters while Elsie's hands were on the ground.

Surely, it was her attack just now.

But seeing them sparked an idea in me.

Turning my head to look at Chris and Emma, I noticed that Chris was about to finish the goblin guard on his side as well, while Emma held her staff high, and the crystal core embedded in the magic staff began to shine brightly.

But I also noticed her body violently shaking, as if she was about to fall.

Seeing this, I returned my attention to the Goblin lord and began throwing water bottles or anything containing water from my storage ring at the Goblin lord who was dealing with the earth spike.

When the Goblin Lord saw the water bottle and container attacks I threw at it, it didn't bother to dodge or defend and just charged at me.

Fortunately, my late water bottle had been thrown, and I heard Emma's voice.

""Light magic: 'BIND'""

It was still the same spell, but this time it was more powerful.

The white light chains were so thick that they appeared real and were able to temporarily bring down the monster.

It wasn't just that. When the chains appeared, so did another wave of earth spikes.

But, after a quick glance at Emma, I noticed that she was on the verge of collapsing and that it would happen soon.

When I saw Adara approaching, I shouted at her to attack the Goblin lord.

Perhaps she understood my intent when she saw the empty bottles and containers around and the somewhat wet goblin.

When she was close enough to the Goblin lord, she coated her fist with lightning and punched him.

When the lightning punch connected with the wet Goblin's body, the goblin screamed in pain as arcs of lightning appeared around its body.

"Roar"

Suddenly, I saw the Goblin Lord open its mouth again, and I knew it was time for another scream.

At this point, Adara increased the intensity of her lightning output, and the Goblin lord could only roar in pain.

Seeing this, I rushed out but then I heard the scream of the goblin lord again and flew out.

My blades were also a distance away from me as a result of this, but when I turned back to look at the goblin, I saw that Adara was still there, shaking but still attacking the monster with lightning punches.

Light shields surrounded her, but they were so weak and thin that they appeared to vanish at any moment.

When I saw this, I dashed out to the Goblin Lord, ignoring the blades.

I didn't have that much time.

In an attempt to keep the Goblin Lord at bay, I dashed to his back.

I didn't think my body was powerful enough to harm the goblin lord, so I went for a neck hook with blue flames coated on my arms.

Adara stopped attacking the monster when she saw me.

I knew this because I didn't feel her attacks when I was in close proximity to the goblin's body.

When I saw this, I shouted at her.

"Adara, continue!" I said.

I couldn't see her facial expression, but when I felt like I was being electrocuted, I knew she was listening.

"Roar"

Heavens, the pain.

I thought I could somewhat handle it with my body now, but this.....

The goblin lord's struggle became more apparent to me as the pain increased.

I felt it struggling to break free from my grasp, and as it struggled, I felt more pain.

I couldn't match the Goblin Lord's strength, so I had to struggle to do what I was doing as my body tore.

I knew we'd die if this monster broke free.

But I felt something else rather than fear.

Just like in the relaxation center against the Asmodeus Serpent.

I felt excitement.

As I increased my mana output and made my flames stronger, I felt the goblin lord struggle more as I felt the pain of being electrocuted and muscle tearing with blood oozing out of them.

I felt dizzy but kept on.

"Brother Ace!" I heard Chris's voice as I saw a flash of red light and felt the goblin's struggle weaken.

And a while later....

[You have acquired the prim............

When I saw this, my vision blurred and I fainted.
