Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Summoning type skill and People.

....

[Anna POV],

We left the building after I packed everything I needed so Ace could store it in his storage ring.

Everything was going well until we were about to emerge from behind a wall when Ace abruptly stopped and returned in a rush as if he was trying not to be detected by something as he used his hands to close my mouth and he used his mouth to gesture to me to keep quiet.

I was quite surprised when it suddenly happened, but I did not attempt to fight it. Instead, I told him to explain as I looked at him with my eyes speaking.

He stayed close to the wall beside us without explaining, bringing his head out a little and staying in that position for a while.

After a few seconds of seeing him in that position, I realized he was probably observing something, so I patiently waited for him to finish.

When I first emerged from that strange crystal, I thought his face was irritable, but ever since that strange message on the panel and the Primordial Chronicle, which I believe to be the root of everything, appeared, I've felt a great deal of insecurity, and Ace was the one who had to bear the brunt of it-though I'm not sure he understands or cares-because from the beginning, his face had been emotionless and expressionless aside from a few brief expressions.

After all, I am the only one left in this world, and I don't think I can bear being alone in all of this. Despite this, I can't deny that I am selfish, because half of the reason I am following him is that I believe I have a better chance of surviving all of this with him, and he has proven this.

He turned to me after observing whatever was out there and said;

"I might need you to use the skill stone because I don't think we'll be able to follow our old plans,"

After hearing what he said, I realized that whatever was out there was likely something he needed my assistance with, so I walked forward a little to see what he saw as he made a way for me.

When I poked my head outside a little and saw the number of monsters out there, I obediently returned and said;

"Go forth, and I will support you from here....moral support only," I said to which Ace's eyes twitched.

I smiled as I saw his expressionless face and respected that I was still young enough to die.

I watched him take out his bow and quiver from his storage ring without responding as I witnessed a miraculous sight of arrows suddenly appearing in the quiver.

He rushed out without hesitation after filling his quiver with the number of arrows it could carry, as I quickly called out the Primordial Chronicles in my head to see my status as I took out the skill stone from the pockets of my pants.

[Status],

[Name: Annabella Dark],

[Age: 17],

[Race: Human [Homo sapiens]],

[Level: 2],

[Job: None],

[Store: Locked],

[Title: None],

Observing my current status, which was still the same as it appeared in the beginning except for my level being level 2, I examined the skill stone in my hand while viewing its information.

[Epic Grade Summoning Skill Stone],

An epic grade skill stone that enables the user to learn a summoning skill.

The Summoning Skill granted by the skill stone is completely random.

...

Reading its information again, I let out a soft groan, frustrated by the fact that I didn't know anything about this skill stone except that it wasn't trash and that whatever skill it produced would be Epic, just like its grade, but the problem is that I don't know how to use the skill stone and Ace might really need my help now.

As I was thinking about these things, the Primordial Chronicle Panel suddenly appeared in front of me with a new notification.

[Detected Skill Stone],

[Would the user like to learn the skill from the skill stone?],

[Y / N],

[Note: The skill that can be learned from this skill stone is random],

[Proceed?],

Seeing this made me feel better as I confirmed my desire to learn the skill from the skill stone.

The panel in front of me vanished as the skill stone in my hand turned to dust as it entered my body as soon as the Primordial Chronicle received my confirmation request.

I was about to panic when I saw this, but I couldn't because unfamiliar information suddenly flashed through my mind.

The sudden information overload in my head made me dizzy, and my posture became so unstable that I had to lean against the wall for support.

Perhaps it was because it was my first time, but the dizzy feeling subsided after a few seconds as I was able to gather myself a little.

I discovered the skill I learned from the skill stone after taking a deep breath and going through the unfamiliar information that appeared in my head.

I'm not sure if it's good or bad in the epic grade, but it was a god-sent skill for me.

I looked at the new notifications on the panel that was in front of me when I got the dizzy feeling out of me.

[You have used the Epic Grade Summoning Skill Stone],

[You have learned the skill: Shadow Summoning],

[Epic Skill: Shadow Summoning ◆◆◆◆],

[The ability to summon creatures of the darkness attribute and sign contracts with them.

The creature summoned will be determined by the caster's affinity for dark magic and summoning magic.

Total number of contracted summon: 0/3],

.....

Looking at the summary of the skill on the panel that corresponds with the information in my head, I had some questions in my head that I knew I wouldn't get answers to, and I didn't waste time pondering them as I tried to summon a creature for the first time by following the instructions in my head.

It was mostly up to me whether I wanted to sign a contract with the summoned creature or not, and it was my first time experiencing magic, so I was nervous, but I didn't have time to think about these things.

I used the information I had about the skill in my head to call forth my first creature in a language that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

As soon as I said the strange chant, a purplish dark circle with a trigram in the center appeared on the ground in front of me, and I felt something in me almost sucked dry as a creature slowly materialized in front of me.

I hurriedly checked out the creature's information after it finished materializing.

[Shadow Crow Level 4],

A creature summoned by the entity; Annabella Dark from the shadow world.

A mid-rank monster who excels at scouting and can attack with dark magic.

If contracted, will have the ability to grow with the contractor.

.....

There were a lot of terms I couldn't understand and ignored while reading about the Shadow Crow. The only thing that made sense to me was that the Shadow Crow was level 4 and could scout and attack using the mysterious mana.

Looking closely at the Shadow Crow, I noticed I had some kind of.....connection with it and could communicate with it through this connection.

Maybe it was because it wasn't contracted with me, so the connection was weak, but it was enough as I gave the shadow crow an order to fly up in the sky and avoid being discovered, and it should follow Ace and help him when he needs it.

When the Shadow Crow chased Ace, it had not even been 10 seconds before I noticed two distinct things in my field of vision.

I was about to panic when I got a message from the shadow bird saying it had found Ace and something else.

Calming down a little as a result of the Shadow crow message, I closed my eyes as I realized that the different scene I was seeing was actually from the perspective of the Shadow crow, and I also realized that Ace was doing fine and was already dealing with the last of the monsters.

I also discovered that the Shadow Crow could split because I was constantly seeing different scenes.

Looking at Ace again and determining that he didn't require my assistance, I took advantage of the opportunity to scout the area in the meantime, only to discover humans a short distance away from us after some scouting.

It was at this point that I heard someone call my name, and because I was startled by the unexpected call, I disconnected from the shared vision with the shadow crow, only to realize the voice that called me sounded like Ace.

Unsure, I poked my head out from behind the wall, noticing Ace a little further away.

I only came out when I realized it was Ace who had called because I needed to tell him everything that had happened and what I had discovered.
