Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 280 - 267: A Startling Revelation 1

ʼʼThat was a nice fight.ʼʼ

Alex, who was approaching Isabella, praised her. He then looked at the corpse of death ogre; the right side was wholly gone.

ʼʼThat was some powerful skill. Even me, I will have a hard time dealing with it.ʼʼ Alex muttered.

〖Well, if you neither use Phantom Bullet, Erase, Ice bullet, then it will be hard to deal with her attack.〗Silveria commented.

ʼʼWell done, Isabella. Iʼm proud of you.ʼʼ

Artemiaʼs words put a smile on Isabellaʼs lips.

ʼʼLetʼs take a short break. We had a tough morning.ʼʼ Alex proposed as he sat on the ground in a lotus position.

ʼʼI wonder how the girls are doing?” Alex suddenly mumbled, and because of the proximity to the other two, they heard him.

ʼʼIt seems that you are worried about them. Donʼt worry; knowing their strength, I donʼt think anything will happen to them. They just need to be cautious.ʼʼ Artemia said while sipping orange juice.

ʼʼEven though I have never fought The Ice queen and the S Queen, from the hearsay, I know they are strong, probably stronger than me. So, donʼt worry.ʼʼ Isabella also said some comforting words to lessen Alexʼs worries.

While he was surprised by Isabella readily admitting to being inferior to Maria, he was even more surprised by the S Queen he just heard.

ʼʼExcuse, Whoʼs the S Queen?”

Even though he had an idea who that person might be, he still asked just to be sure.

ʼʼDonʼt you know Lady Sakuyaʼs nickname?” Isabella asked with confusion.

Alex shook his head. He only heard about Mariaʼs and Lunaʼs nicknames.

ʼʼDid you forget that Alex just recently came? Itʼs normal for him not to know. The S Queen is the nickname given to Sakuya after she thrashed numerous young masters and mistresses. She even beat the shit out of my Big brother. Since that day, he came to fear her.

In the start, Big brother tried to go after the three; however, unlike the other two who rejected him while staying polite, Sakuyaʼs way was brutal. She asked for a duel; if my brother wins, she will consider becoming his woman.ʼʼ

Before Artemia could continue further, she was interrupted by Alex, who raised a question.

ʼʼAnd what if she wins?”

Facing Alexʼs question, Artemia revealed a troubled expression before saying.

ʼʼShe didnʼt say it.ʼʼ She said.

ʼʼWhat ?” Alex was surprised.

ʼʼItʼs not like she didnʼt want to say; however, before she could say her condition, Maria moved faster to close her mouth. That day I was there, I was disguised, so people didnʼt know it was me.

From the feeling that Iʼve got what Sakuya wanted to say would be without a doubt something outrageous.ʼʼ Artemia said while recalling the dangerous glint that passed through Sakuyaʼs eyes just as she was about to announce her condition.

ʼʼI can picture what she would say,ʼʼ Alex said while imagining a naked prince running around in the capital with Sakuya sitting on top of his back, making an Ohohoho sound.

Alex shudders just by imagining such a scene; he quickly wiped away the invisible sweat on his forehead.

Inside her dimension, Silveria was laughing hard; she laughed until she started to roll on her bed holding her belly.

Ignoring her, Alex focused his attention on Artemia, the latter continued.

ʼʼAs you have heard it. My brother lost, badly even. He got beaten to the point that his face was almost unrecognizable.ʼʼ

ʼʼTo that point?” Alex said, surprised.

Artemia nodded, ʼʼWell, my brother isnʼt powerful like the rest of us, but he is smart. Governing an empire doesnʼt always require the emperor to be the strongest. I would have preferred him to become the emperor rather than my sister, but that would-. Forget it, letʼs not talk about it.ʼʼ

Alex didnʼt pursue the matter as well, as he no interest in the throne or politics.

ʼʼBetter quickly made Maria yours because my brother will never give up so easily, especially now that he learned that you made Luna your woman,ʼʼ Artemia warned him.

Chuckling, Alex said, ʼʼNo matter what he will do, Maria will never become his woman, you can be sure of that.ʼʼ

Seeing Alex so confident, Artemia didnʼt say anything more. She stayed silent for a moment before looking at Isabella and said.

ʼʼIsabella, go scout the area near the river for a moment.ʼʼ

Isabella nodded before disappearing. There was nothing to be added anymore as Isabella understood the underlying meaning of Artemiaʼs words.

ʼʼWhat do you want to talk about for you to send Isabella away?” Alex turned to face Artemia after Isabella was gone.

Chuckling Artemia asked, ʼʼYou are already aware of my goal coming here, arenʼt you?ʼʼ

ʼʼYeah, I know.ʼʼ Alex nodded.

ʼʼI see. I must thank Elseria then.ʼʼ Artemia said.

ʼʼWhat is the relation between you and her? Whoʼs she really?”

Alex couldnʼt help but ask this. He had this nagging feeling that Artemia and Elseria knew each other; they seemed to share some secrets.

And as expected, Alex didnʼt get the answer he was hoping for.

ʼʼI will let you figure that out. It isnʼt for me to say it.ʼʼ Artemia answered with an apologetic smile.

ʼʼI hate when you lots act like this.ʼʼ Alex didnʼt hide his dissatisfaction.

Artemia had expected such an outcome, so she said.

ʼʼDonʼt be like that. Letʼs talk about something interesting instead. I heard you talked with Lilith just before we came. Is that right?”

ʼʼYou are well informed. As expected of the princess. Well, thatʼs true.ʼʼ Alex didnʼt deny having talked with Lilith as it wasnʼt something that should be hidden.

ʼʼI see. Letʼs me guess you two made some kind of alliance to screw Lucifer. She talked about acquiring something Lucifer coveted. Did I get right?” Artemia asked with a smile.

However, to Alex, that smile wasnʼt angelic in the slightest; it was demonic like the one a demoness wore when everyone goes according to her plan.

Gulp!

ʼThis woman is scary. Itʼs a good thing Iʼm on her side for the moment.ʼ

Alex thought after gulping audibly.

ʼʼYou have perfectly guessed what she said. So, now I want to know what all these questions are about?”

Alexʼs words were simple. Would you please go straight to the point?

Artemia smiled, and just as she was about to open her mouth, they heard a loud explosion coming from Lunaʼs direction.

BOOM!
