Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 299 - 286: Another Short Break

Isabella stood there frozen for a moment after the match ended before dashing toward Artemia to check her condition.

ʼʼJust a light injury because her body couldnʼt bear the power of that Ninth Form. Even though this form was incomplete, to think Alex could stop it. Heʼs not your average monster.ʼʼ

After feeding Artemia a healing potion, Isabella moved toward Alex; however, just as she was about to reach him, the latter stood up and dusted his clothes.

ʼʼFui! That headache is gone. Iʼm feeling a bit better now; however, I seem that I canʼt see with my right eye right now. I wonder how long it is going to last.ʼʼ

ʼʼHuh? What is up, Isabella? Why are you silent?” Alex asked after seeing Isabella not saying anything; she was staring at him.

ʼʼYour right eye is bleeding; lets me help you. What happened to that eye?”

ʼʼNo need, it will heal on its own.ʼʼ Alex stopped the incoming Isabella while at the same time thinking.

ʼIt seems that she isnʼt are of what happened? Maybe Iʼm the only one that knows what happened? How can time stop like that?ʼ

Touching his closed right eye, Alex thought, ʼIt happened because of this eye. How can such a broken ability exist? If this eye can really stop time, how strong it owner going to be? How powerful is the black gun going to be? I canʼt wait to unseal it.ʼ

Isabella took a step back before saying, ʼʼAlex, stop grinning like that; youʼre scaring me.ʼʼ

ʼʼHahaha! My bad, I was thinking about something. Letʼs wait until Artemia wakes up and get going.ʼʼ

ʼʼSure, we will do that.ʼʼ Isabella nodded before going back to Artemiaʼs side; the latter was placed inside a small tent to avoid heatstroke in this hot environment.

While temporarily put it on an eye patch, Alex entered the tent he had just erected and asked.

ʼYou have been silent for a while, Silveria; what are you thinking about?ʼ

〖Nothing〗

After a moment of silence, Silveria answered.

ʼI canʼt force if you do not wish to talk about it. By the way, you must know what happened? Did my right eye stopped time?ʼ

〖Yeah, it stopped time, even though it was for one second, it was undoubtedly your right eye the responsible. I never thought Big sister would have lent you help.〗

ʼHoh? So itʼs thanks to your Big sister I was able to use that ability?ʼ Alex couldnʼt help but get curious when he heard Silveriaʼs explanation.

〖Yeah it was because of her. If not, you canʼt use this ability yet. She gives you a helping hand; itʼs so unlike her. I wonder what she is thinking? Well, all I can say is that she thinks highly of you, even more than how previous Master.〗

ʼI see, Iʼm outstanding; that must be why she is smart, unlike some dumb girl who shows no respect for this great me. Your Big sister must be a nice person; sheʼs better than you, you foul-mouthed spirit.ʼ Alex said and waited for Silveriaʼs response.

It didnʼt take long for Silveria to respond; she was fuming.

〖Humph! What do you know? Iʼm better.〗

ʼYeah! Yeah! Youʼre.ʼ Alex said, disinterested. He then asked Silveria a question.

ʼI guess I wonʼt be using this ability soon?ʼ

〖Obviously you will not. However, I believe you can after unsealing, sister.〗

Alex breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Silveriaʼs response; he then asked her another question.

ʼHow long my right eye will be unusable for?ʼ

〖Donʼt worry, it will be back before you face that skeleton.〗Silveria reassured Alex as she knew what her master was most afraid of, not being able to use all his cards in the incoming fight against that Elder Lich.

ʼIf itʼs true, then itʼs good.ʼ Alex said before closing his eyes to take a nap. Previously he didnʼt show it, but he was tired. His headache might have gone, but he was tired physically; he didnʼt show it in front of Isabella, who was already busy worrying about Artemia. To add him on top of that would be unfair.

ʼTo think she would still care about me after I outright reject her. What interesting girl.ʼ Alex silently muttered before sleeping.

Just after Alex fell asleep, Silveria came out crouching down. She caressed her masterʼs smooth face and said.

ʼʼSilly Master, obviously she will. You may have said not to fall in love with you but whether she followed your advice or not is up to you. Do you think after saying that, she will stop loving you? For the sake of Love, a woman can become obstinate. Letʼs wait and see how things will progress.ʼʼ

Silveriaʼs eyes pierced through the tent Artemia and Isabella were sharing; she observed the still sleeping Artemia for a moment before moving toward Isabella; the latter seemed concerned about something, seeing her seek peak in the direction of Alexʼs tent, Silveria laughed.

ʼʼIf she survives and keeps progressing, maybe one day you will be the one chasing after her.ʼʼ

Leaving these words behind, Silveria disappeared. While Isabella wasnʼt beautiful as Maria and others, she was not far from them; Silveria believes that she will become more beautiful as time passes and grows stronger.

Back in her dimension, Silveria sat on a silver throne, legs crossed, she said.

ʼʼBig sister, do you feel it too? Something is about to happen. It concerns our master. I donʼt know what it is, but Iʼm sure it will be soon. I started to have this feeling for a while. I hope it wonʼt be anything drastic.ʼʼ

There was a long silence before someone responded; it was a voice so cold and emotionless that it could immediately alter reality.

ʼI feel it too. Someone is targeting him. I donʼt know the specifics, but they are after him. Iʼm preparing something.ʼ

Silveria grinned when she heard; she couldnʼt wait to see what her sister has prepared.

Two hours later, the group woke up and was ready to depart.

En route, Artemia kept staring at Alex like a curious child.

Feeling uncomfortable, Alex was forced to ask.

ʼʼGo ahead, ask anyway.ʼʼ

Smiling sweetly, Artemia asked, ʼʼWhat was that ability? Time stop?”

Artemia secretly whispered her question.

Shrugging his shoulders, Alex said, ʼʼIf I tell that even myself donʼt know will you believe in me?”

ʼʼAnswering a question with a question; Forget it, Tell me when you will be ready.ʼʼ

ʼʼSure I will,ʼʼ Alex replied.

Isabella on the side watched the two whispered to each other; she wondered what they are talking about.

ʼItʼs none of my concern what they are talking about. I need to get stronger, really strong.ʼ She mumbled.
