Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 204 - 196: Rematch

Alex and Lilith were standing on the huge platform, the signal to start the match has been given and yet neither of them initiated an attack against each other, they were eyeing each other in silence.

Few minutes passed when suddenly, Alex chuckled,

ʼʼThis can be considered a rematch donʼt you think too Eleonora?”

Lilith did not immediately answer, she looked at Alex for a moment before bursting into laugher.

ʼʼFufufu! Indeed you can say so. I knew youʼd be able to recognize me even I switched to my original appearance. What do you think? Beautiful isnʼt it? Do you like it?” Lilith asked.

The people outside were surprised when they heard the conversation between Alex and Lilith.

ʼʼWell, your real appearance is indeed beautiful but at the same time itʼs too cold, and more importantly, it feels like youʼre wearing a mask. Your other appearance might not be the true you but I can say itʼs not far from it. Even though your previous appearance is a little annoying I prefer it to your current one.ʼʼ Alex said.

〖Nice observationʼs skill.〗Silveria complimented him.

Lilithʼs expression changed for a split second before reverted into her cold one. Shaking her head she said,

ʼʼItʼs that so? Letʼs begin.ʼʼ Her face was cold but it couldnʼt hide her excitement about the fight that was about to begin.

Facing Lilith, Alex calmed himself down before closing his eyes in reminiscence, he remembered their last fight, how they promised to go all out in their next fight.

ʼʼAs you wish.ʼʼ Alex grinned while he readied his weapons.

Seeing Alexʼs grin a savage smile formed on Lilithʼs beautiful face as she replied, ”This time, I wonʼt hold back.”

”Neither will-huh?”

By the time Alex answered, a fair and dainty hand was already holding his face, before-

BAAM!!!!

Bringing it down violently against the ground.

At least that is what it looked like at the first glance.

The moment Lilith impacted the ground with her hands, the Alex, the onlookers thought she was holding faded like a mirage, while the real one appeared behind her muttering,

ʼʼItʼs rude to go for the face ya know!”

Holding Razor in a hammer grip (if the blade is above the thumb, it is called hammer grip.) Alex sent a fast thrust toward Lilithʼs back. The attack was so fast that it let friction in the air. But, despite this speed, it still missed as she did a simple roll-forward before jumping away.

The two of them, now in the opposite position from the one they stood at the start of this exchange stopped to gauge their powers.

This short exchange allowed them to know that this fight wouldnʼt be an easy one for either of them. It wouldnʼt be like last time where they did not go all out.

Taking a deep breath, Lilith readied her two daggers in a crisscross stance, the atmosphere around her changed, space around twisted violently, her hair danced while her purple shined.

Currently, Alex didnʼt feel like he was facing a beauty, but rather an extremely dangerous beast that was about to rip him to shred.

Ba-dump!

Alexʼs heart thumped, his blood started to boil, not because of fear but because of the thrill of experiencing an exciting fight.

Alex took out his second knife Reaper and readied it, he slowly twirled his shoulder and he calmed his rising tension.

ʼʼYou should remove that eye patch of yours,ʼʼ Lilith said as if she was aware of something.

ʼʼHehehe! Then make me remove it then.ʼʼ Alex said with a provocative grin.

Green eye clashed against purple eyes creating illusionary sparks in the air.

For a moment the world stopped, only Alex and Lilith seemed unaffected, they were staring at each other with an unprecedented focus, none of the two thinking about anything else.

Then, time resumed and under the eyes of the crowd, they simply vanished.

Boom!!

The ground under their feet cracked, they appeared midair and started to exchange blows, Lilith was the first to attack by thrusting her black dagger forward, Alex blocked it with one of his knives (Razor) before he counterattacked with the second (Reaper), it was a fast blow, yet Lilith was able to block it before sending kick toward Alexʼs abdomen, the latter distanced himself from her by jumping back.

Then, they disappeared again and started exchanging blow after blow at fast speed.

Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!

Most of the people outside were not able to follow their exchanges as it was too fast, they only heard the sound of a blade clashing against blade and sparks in the air.

These exchanges continued for a moment before they got separated from each other.

*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*

Their breaths were ragged and their clothes ripped in different places, trickles of blood dripping from each of them. At first, it appeared like itʼs was a draw, however, the sharp-eyed ones could see that Lilith was having more difficulty breathing than Alex and somehow Alexʼs injuries seemed to be healing faster.

ʼʼWhat? This kid possesses Auto-regeneration skill?” Freya asked Elseria.

The latter shrugged her shoulders as if to say I do not know Iʼm perplexed as you are.

ʼThis unexpected, I never thought this kid will have such an unusual skill. Itʼs not a skill a human should possess. What are you boy?ʼ

Elseria thought while observing Alex, even with her Rank she was not able to know Alexʼs real race, it was blurred same as the other seven. This showed that their race was different from humans, however, she was not able to know which race theyʼre from.

~Back on the platform, the two were looking at each other.

Even though this exchange ended up in her loss, she couldnʼt help but feel giddy with anticipation. It has been a long time since she didnʼt feel her blood boil in such a way. In this exchange neither of them have used their power, only swinging their blades using their strength.

Because sheʼs from the demon race, she possesses Auto-regeneration skill, her wounds were slowly healing.

ʼʼLetʼs get more serious shall we?” She said before adding,

ʼʼImpelʼʼ {A/N: It also mean Acceleration}

ʼʼWha-” Alex did not manage to finish what he was about to say before he was blasted back.

What did it feel like to be hit by a punch at the speed of the sound?

Alex just tasted the answer.

BOOOOMMM!!!!

Rumble!!

The entire platform trembled as Alex was shot back like a rocket before hitting the wall on the other side and became embedded in it.

*Cough* *Cough*

Even as his vision was obstructed by the debris of the wall and his mind slightly blacked out, he didnʼt know whether he should be amazed by the fact that Lilith possesses such a speed or the fact that he didnʼt die under that hit. He didnʼt even see her coming, her speed surpassed him by a great margin.

ʼʼOh? As I thought youʼre tough to be brought by such an attack. I would have been disappointed if it was the case.ʼʼ

Lilithʼs voice reached Alexʼs ears, she was slowly walking toward Alex while purple lightning was dancing around her body, space around her was twisting.

ʼI seem to have underestimated this girl. She strong, stronger than everything I have ever faced.ʼ Alex thought while exhaling a little, he firmed his resolve to get serious or else he would be the one to lose.

The crowd fell silent as they observed the debris under which Alex was under. At first, they thought that he would come out blazing, but as time went past, it seemed incredibly clear that he was out cold. They started wondering if this meant that Lilith was the winner.

However, Lilith did not think like that, to her Alex wouldnʼt be brought down with such an attack. The real fight was about to begin.

And as though to confirm her words, there was a rumbling sound and Alexʼs figure could be seen on the other side of the platform. He was bloodied all over, he was covered in dirt, he had trouble standing, his head lowered and despite his rather embarrassing situation, no one was in the mood of joking.

Simply because they were feeling an unusual feeling, it was the feeling one has when facing a dangerous beast. Lilith who was not far from him was feeling fear, a fear she couldnʼt understand. The daggers in her hands were trembling.

Slowly, Alex lifted his head, his eye patch had disappeared, however, his right eye couldnʼt be seen as it was covered by his hair. However, even though they couldnʼt see it, they were afraid, most of the weak-willed individuals looked elsewhere because they couldnʼt continue looking at Alex, the currently him was emitting a dangerous aura.

In a Pavillon, the brown-haired girlʼs eyes were shinning, she was smiling, the purple-haired beauty sitting not far from her held her chin in her hand, she seemed to be thinking about something.

On the gray robbed menʼs side, their leader announced, ʼʼWe must acquire this sample. If we canʼt he must be eliminated as he will represent a huge threat in the future if he canʼt be controlled.ʼʼ

The other nodded while plotting how they should move, apart from the red-haired little girl, this one was selected as well. The gray robbed menʼs goal while coming here was to select their future samples.
