Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 81 - 75: Level 20

Sunlight streamed through the thick foliages and made the forest glow.

At this current moment somewhere in the depths of the forest, at a place that was roughly 7 km away from a waterfall. This place was revolved around by trees, sounds of birds chirping rang out, and the fragrance of fragrant flowers drifted around the air. This place was a pretty good secluded paradise, but the precondition was that if there werenʼt any people here.

Currently, the sound of a fight could be heard, naturally, it was Alex fighting against monsters, against wolves, Wind wolves to be more accurate, it is a D Rank monster. As its name suggests it is a monster extremely fast and swift when attacking. They are faster but have a weak defense, it was because of their speed they got classified as D Rank monster.

Alexʼs blade clashed against the claw of the monster. Blood flew and so did a severed limb.

Awuuh~

That Wind wolf howled in pain before jumping back.

ʼʼI have already seen you coming,ʼʼ Alex said with a grin before dodging a claw coming straight toward his head from the back. He jumped and while at the same time he threw two Black Bettieʼs at the monster who just attacked him, however that monster jumped back in turn avoiding the knives.

ʼʼI knew youʼll do that,ʼʼ Alex said before summoning Silveria and fired,

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bullets, one each in the monsterʼs front legs while the last one bullet went straight to its head, killing it.

Alex spun around to face the last injured wolf, the injured wolf looked at the dead wolves and howled in sorrow. Turning in Alexʼs direction and glared at him before charging while limping.

Sighing Alex aimed his silver gun at the incoming monster and pulled the trigger,

Bang!

One bullet was all it took for the monster to lay down forever.

Alex took out a healing potion, sprinkled some on his injuries, before drinking it.

ʼʼNo matter how many times Iʼve drunk it, itʼs still unpalatable,ʼʼ he complained.

〖Donʼt get injured then.〗Silveria said.

Alexʼs lips twitched, as if it was possible, he was fighting against a pack of Wind wolves, ten to be more specific. Never he would have thought he would encounter this many when advancing into the depth of the forest.

It has been three hours since he left the Inn. When he first entered the forest he had killed twenty goblins and further ahead, he killed Five Soldier Ants. It seems that the Soldier Ants got scattered after the death of their Queen.

ʼʼThese Wind wolves are pretty hard to deal with,ʼʼ Alex muttered while cleansing his cheek where he received a cut earlier when fighting against the wolves. He will be more injured if he wasnʼt wearing the gear he received from Leena.

〖Well they are pretty fast but their defense is extremely weak. Normally they should be a pack leader leading them, however, we havenʼt seen none until far, So better be cautious.〗Silveria warned.

ʼʼI will, but lets me check my status,ʼʼ Alex said before mumbling status.

ʼʼI have been waiting for this.ʼʼ He said his eyes fixed on his SP (Skill Point). SP is gained every Ten levels, why is that? He couldnʼt tell. Before coming here he was almost Level 16 (missing 220 XP), now he became Level 20, 3 more levels and he will step into Rank 3, he was slowly catching up to others, he must work harder and surpass them.

Alex had leveled up fifth times, he used 7620 XP for that, he was not left with 130 XP.

ʼʼIf itʼs possible I want to advance into the next Rank before going back.ʼʼ He muttered while using his newly acquired SP and BP.

.....

At the same time in another location, somewhere in a mansion located in the capital, there was a garden.

This garden could be described as a formal garden. The bonsai trees lined the perfect lawn in their wooden boxes. In the center, there was a pond as large as a small lake with flowering lily pads and a wooden bridge that crossed the middle so you could look down at the koi carp. The flower beds were a riot of May color and even on close inspection, they were weed-free.

Currently, standing on this pond was a girl, she had beautiful blue long hair, her eyes were of the same hue, she had a beautiful face. If Alex was present he would have identified her as the bitch Princess whom he insulted back in the temple, Katherina Von Havens, the second Princess of the Drexia Empire.

One of the prétendants to the throne, the second Princess was feeding the fishes in the pond with a smile on her face.

Suddenly, a shadow manifested near her, undisturbed she continued feeding the fishes.

ʼʼGreetings your Highness.ʼʼ the shadow said with a genderless voice.

ʼʼWhat bring you here?” she asked.

ʼʼIʼm here to report something.ʼʼ

ʼʼGo on.ʼʼ

ʼʼThat man you asked us to take care of, heʼs still alive.ʼʼ

ʼʼWhy is that?ʼʼ she asked not stopping what she was doing.

The shadow explained how the Adventurers hired couldnʼt accomplish their jobs, nobody was willing to do it, as if they were afraid of someone. Who was this person? It remains a mystery even for them.

ʼʼIt seems someone is protecting him. Heʼs pretty lucky. If Iʼm not wrong you donʼt even know who is it, isnʼt it?”

ʼʼIndeed. We havenʼt found anything, nobody talked even after our peaceful talk with them.ʼʼ the shadow said in an emotionless tone.

The second Princess was amused, she knew how her Shadows peaceful talk workʼs well, how frightening their peaceful talk could be, to think nobody spilled the beans after that.

The mysterious person protecting Alex must be strong and extremely feared. She doubts it was the doing of her Big sister Priscilla, maybe itʼs one of her friends. Well, it doesnʼt matter, Alex was coming to the capital, she will have all the time to deal with him. He must not be left unpunished.

ʼʼTell me how are his progress,ʼʼ she asked, she was a bit interested in how he was doing, considering his Gift was sealed, deemed useless the last time she saw him.

ʼʼHe is advancing pretty quickly for someone with useless Gift. In just two weeks, he went from F to almost D Rank (waiting for the test). It is said he killed thirty goblins and a rare species alone.ʼʼ the shadow said.

ʼʼOh?”

Katherinaʼs curiosity was piqued, she waited for her Shadows to continue.

ʼʼA few days ago he fought a group of Adventurers, a group of E Rank Adventurers. There was bet at stake.ʼʼ the Shadow explained the details to her.

ʼʼSo, who won at the end?”

ʼʼItʼs was the Otherworlder. The fight did not last long. He dispatched them one by one. He won everything, he took everything, even the losers weapons, he only left them with their clothes.ʼʼ

ʼʼInteresting. Pretty ruthless but interesting. Not bad for someone with a useless Gift. Compared to my Leo, heʼs nothing but heʼs interesting. Maybe his Gift not useless after all.ʼʼ Katherina said smiling.

ʼʼYour highness nobody saw him use his Gift, not even once. Even that day he had used Knife and throwing knives only. He was pretty good at throwing knives they said.ʼʼ

ʼʼThere is a red-haired girl following him recently. We donʼt know her relationship with him. Maybe sheʼs his temporary party. After the girl shows up, it becomes hard to monitor him or get any information on them. Our men are eliminated, by whom, we donʼt know.ʼʼ the shadow added.

ʼʼOh! Even more interesting. Well, we will let him come to the capital before planning something. Maybe he can be used.ʼʼ Katherina said with a dangerous glint inside her eyes.

ʼʼStop monitoring him. Do not attempt anything for now. You should go and monitor my sisterʼs actions. Is she still inside her mansion doing nothing?”

ʼʼYes, the Third Princess hasnʼt made any move yet.ʼʼ the shadow responded.

ʼʼI see. You can go back now.ʼʼ Katherina said her eyes narrowed, that sister of her is unpredictable, even now she hadnʼt confirmed not denied to participate in the race for the crown. She stays howled inside her mansion, Katherina was extremely wary of her, even with her advantage, who can blame her, that sister of her was too popular, the most beautiful of all Empire, the pearl of the empire.

All she needs to do is to say she was going to be a candidate and a hell of supporters will come flooding in her way.

Sigh*

Katherina heaved a long sigh, praying to Goddess Artemia that the bad feeling she was having recently to not come true.

ʼʼI shall take my leave then.ʼʼ the shadow said, trying to leave.

ʼʼWait.ʼʼ Katherina stopped the shadow and asked.

ʼʼDid you found the whereabouts of that person yet?”

ʼʼUnfortunately, we havenʼt found anything, it was as if she disappeared totally. She isnʼt in none of the Empires, or other continents. Knowing her sheʼll come back once she finishes with what sheʼs doing.ʼʼ the shadow explained.

ʼʼI see, you are right. Leave, I want to be alone. Nobody is allowed to disturb me.ʼʼ

ʼʼCertainly your highness.ʼʼ the shadow said before disappearing leaving the second Princess alone, she stared into the distance lost in thoughts.
