Chapter 256 Situation
Unlike Adara group that was lucky enough to arrive in an area with no monster in sight, The blazes weren't so lucky as it only took a while after their arrival for the monsters in the area to know that they had intruders in their territory.
It would have been better if it had only been one monster who came as Agneya and Lily together with a few others in their large gathering weren't so weak to not be able to handle a relatively weak monster.
Something to note is that just like Andrew Dawn, Adara and Agneya also got something that made them stronger than most people as more people came under their rule but as they were still an unevolved species, their power was a little limited especially in a place like the true world.
The fact that they also just arrived in the true world made their situation a little bad as they still weren't aware that different from the world they just left, the monsters that roamed the land of the True world were at least rank 1 monsters.
If they were to run into any without preparations, there was likely to be a series of casualties in their large gathering since not everyone was a fighter and the casualties did happen since it was three rank 1 monsters that came to them and although they were able to dispatch the monsters fast as they weren't that strong, they were too slow to prevent the deaths that happened.
This just happened on the first day of their arrival which was depressing to the group as a whole but it also reminded everyone there just how dangerous the world they had arrived in was.
Due to the event that just happened, Agneya and Lily decided that they really needed a place to settle down instead of walking like this through the woods with a large group behind them. This only made them an open target for monsters.
At least they were fortunate enough to encounter land monsters and prevent the additional deaths that could have potentially happened but the might be the same if the monsters they encountered were the ones that could fly like the fire eagles.
For a monster that could use magic and fly at the same time, the casualties that were going to happen were going to be huge especially when it was considered that most flying monsters move in a flock.. Then there was also the part that could meet a more high level monster that they couldn't handle so they really needed a place to settle down.
At least a place that won't make them open targets for monsters.
Agneya and Lily were also the leader of the gathering behind them. At first, back in their world, they only became leaders due to the fame they had whichade people depend on them but later their leading position got more solid as their powers grew.
This was honestly a burden for the two women but after the numbers of people passed a certain level, they could no longer pull out from the responsibilities that were placed on them.
They had the choice to do so but like Adara, they couldn't bear to abandon anyone then there was also the part that down the line, Agneya blaze also started getting ambitious.
As the whole group continued to move through the woods, they all kept quiet and tried to make as little noise as possible because of the fear of attracting monsters but with a group as large as that, they were just too much of an eyesore for the monster that found them but fortunately for the blazes and everyone around them, the past event of encountering multiple monsters at the same time did not happen so they were able to deal with the monsters that came individually.
Luckily for them, the group was later able to encounter a part of the forest with dense trees as tall as skyscrapers which all had leaves large enough to be mistaken as roofs if not for their appearance and although it was not what the blazes wanted as a shelter they were still happy with their findings especially when they discovered several water sources in this particular part of the forest.
The leaves were also enough to at least cover them from the eyes of flying monsters.
They were also only weak monsters around so after clearing them off, the whole group got busy with making a temporary settlement as the blazes finally had the time to check their updated status.
Just like Adara and Ace, they were immediately attracted to the contact system that like Adara, they didn't bother with the other sections of the status like the ranking system but it was only a matter of time before they all get surprised by the names they'll find on the top list when they do check it.
When the two women tried to contact the only person they regarded as family, they were met with disappointment since the primordial chronicle also gave them the same notification it gave Adara of why she couldn't contact Ace.
This evidently brought their already low mood down as they dismissed the primordial chronicle to study it later.
Just like most people that were also entering the true world currently, it was mostly until they were temporarily out of danger and they've settled down would they have the time to study anything else like the other new sections in the primordial chronicle so after resting for a bit, the two women also joined the others to work.
If only they knew what was going to happen in the next few days and the danger around them weren't only from monsters.
Meanwhile a few hours later in the alternate dimension Ace was, Ace was already through with concocting pills and just as he had planned before, he immediately put a few bottles filled with stamina pills after he figured out how to do it.
He also decided to price the stamina pill bottles cheaply for 10 gold coins as they weren't hard to make and weren't rank 1 pills.
He decided to first start with 20 pill bottles and see how it goes. If they manage to sell then that's easy 200 coins for him when the actual cost of making all the pills he sold were not up to 10% of the gold coins he'd receive.
After putting the pills for sale, Max went on to the next plan on his short schedule and attempted to see if he could make another runic explosives but even though this alchemy session took more hours than the last one he did, he was only able to successfully take three ignite rune explosives and one explode rune explosive.
It was not as much as he would have wanted it but for him to make that much, he was already showing progress in his success rate at making runic explosives.
It was only when he got too sleepy to continue did Ace stop at attempting to create anything and just made his way to his room after cleaning up a little.
Blue was still asleep so Ace made sure he did not accidentally wake up the little bird when climned his bed.
Usually Ace would think of a few things before sleeping but this time he didn't need it because after a few seconds of laying on his bed, he dozed off.
******
"What is this?" Ace muttered when he started to feel something on his face and when he opened his eyes, he was met with a big gryphon on his face hitting him lightly with his claws as he occasionally made little screeches.
It wasn't that blue suddenly became big after sleeping, the reason Ace saw him as big was because of how close the gryphon was to his face and much as Ace would have liked to go back to sleep, he wasn't able to because anything he closed his eyes and tried to ignore the gryphons action, blue will become more energetic and attack him with his claws.
Although the attacks weren't able to hurt him, they were annoying, which was enough for Ace to fully wake up and grab the little gryphon by its neck as it looked back at Ace with innocent eyes.
Unfortunately for it, Ace was considering if he should cook it if it was always going to disturb his sleep like this and use the opportunity to see if monster food can be taken through a few experiments.
This was only a passing thought in Ace's head of course as he called out the primordial chronicle in his head before heading to the tamed beast section to see blues status.
It was time he checked the effect of levelling blue up.
