[Third Person POV],

Ace reasoned that he could wait until there was a chance to strike, such as if Andrew Dawn was able to kill the rat queen and stop killing the other mutant rats, but even after waiting for a while, all that happened was the dragon heart emitting more light as more mutant rats dropped 'dead'.

Ace realised he had to take action right away because if he didn't, there might not be enough mutant rats left to meet his final two job requirements, assuming they all died in the hands of others.

If this happens then he will have to go out in the true world and start hunting monsters which had a certain degree of risk since nothing was without risk in the true world.

Ace was about to enter the hole himself as he had this thought. Suddenly, the den began to shake even more violently than it had previously, but this time the cause was not the altercation between Andrew Dawn and the rat queen but rather the dragon heart.

Blood that had previously formed lines around the dragon heart was no longer present; now, it was just blood on the ground beneath the dragon heart's hovering position.

It didn't take long to realise that the dragon's heart must be full from all the blood it had previously consumed, but now the question is, what happens when it has consumed the desired amount of blood?

Apart from being the reason for the den violently shaking as if it was about to collapse, the already large dragon heart was progressively growing in size as the heartbeats it created became louder and resonated through all the tunnels in the rocky hill.

The huge pressure it generated prompted everyone in the pit to cease fighting as they fought to adapt to the pressure on them. The rat queen and Andrew Dawn were no different.

Andrew Dawn and the rat queen were the only ones in the pit to truly feel the dreadful pressure emanating from the dragon heart because everyone else in the pit felt it to a lesser or greater extent depending on how near they were to the dragon heart.

The mutant rats that were even close to them had all fallen to the ground with no resistance at all because they couldn't handle even half the pressure that was placed on Andrew Dawn and the others.

When everyone believed there would be no more fighting since everyone was struggling to adapt together, a sudden loud noise told them otherwise.

BOOM!!!!

The perpetrator of course was our alchemist Ace as he chose to take advantage of the fact that no one could move.

Ace, unlike everyone else in the pit, was unable to experience the pressure. It wasn't that he couldn't feel it because even when the distance between him and the dragon's heart was significant, Ace could still feel a small amount of the dreadful pressure that the dragon's heart was emitting, which caused his chest to clench.

The pressure wasn't enough to render him immobile like the others but it did make him feel horribly uncomfortable despite being where he was.

One was left to ponder how powerful the heart's owner must have been in life if merely a heart could perform such feats.

The only person who could have known that the heart belonged to a rank four dragon was Andrew Dawn, and even he had never seen a rank four specie in action, especially when it came from the dragon race. As a result, all he could do was picture the might of the creature.

At this point, the mentioned heart stood 8 metres tall, which was an absolutely unbelievable height for a heart.

Ace, being able to do what he pleased unlike the others, chose to start tossing explosives at the area where the mutated rats were densely packed.

His accuracy was very off because of the shaking den, but it didn't really matter because there were still plenty of mutant rats in the area when he tossed the explosives as they still managed to land on a number of them.

The explosive he just hurled that alerted the people inside the pit to his existence was the ignite runic explosive, which had a restricted damage range of attack.

Although the damage created by the ignite runic was lesser than what the explode runic explosive could inflict, it was still enough to kill a few mutated rats and make Andrew Dawn's men sweat.

The ignite explosion wouldn't have been a threat to them if everything had been normal, and it still isn't, but the sudden mushroom that ascended into the air startled them.

It also alerted Andrew Dawn and the Rat Queen, and when they turned to look around, they were able to discover Ace's presence at the pit entrance who was holding a metallic ball.

Before they could even register in their minds that they failed to notice an intruder's arrival who might have been watching their fight for a long time, Ace threw the metallic ball in his hand to another location in the pit that was filled with immobile mutated rats. Everyone who had time to observe Ace's actions used their eyes to trace after the metallic ball, and just before the metallic ball could fully land in the centre of the mutated rats, another mushroom rose in the air as the sound that accompanied it made everyone aware of the use of the metallic ball in Ace's hand.

BOOM!!!!!

As they all watched Ace continuing to hurl many explosives in their general direction as if it were candy or something, the mutant rats now had another person to dread.

Even Andrew Dawn and his men believed Ace was simply taking advantage of the fact that there were free primordial records available everywhere and because Ace didn't want to risk his life, he threw some of his valuable possessions in exchange for the records, but given the way he was tossing explosives one after the other, no one felt they were anything that should even be regarded as valuable.

They were fortunate because Ace was sensible and only hurled the explosives towards the mutant rats that were far away from them, ensuring that they wouldn't have to worry about a surprise explosion happening right next to them.

This was the situation, and everyone could only helplessly watch as mushrooms erupted all around them. This continued for a while when something unexpected took the humans off guard.

It was a message from the primordial chronicle, and its content was, to put it mildly, unexpected.
