Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 335 - 319: A Short Exchange

After Alex killed Byron, he heaved a long sigh.

As if she could read Alexʼs mind, Sera said.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, we will find her, and she will be perfectly fine.ʼʼ

ʼʼI hope so. How are the children you have been rescued?” Alex asked while looking at Seraʼs disposing of the bodies.

ʼʼWe only found the girls; the boys are nowhere to be found. I guess they have been disposed of after the failed experiment.ʼʼ Sera answered.

ʼʼI see. Letʼs go back; I donʼt want to waste time here.ʼʼ Alex said while secretly winking at Sera; the latter nodded.

ʼʼOkay.ʼʼ

The two left the room.

Fifteen minutes went by in a flash, and finally, that shadow who talked with Byron, the one behind what was happening, appeared after waiting and checking if Alex and Sera had left for good.

ʼʼSigh! Such a failure. I must go and retrieve that stone before leaving; who knows when those two would come back.ʼʼ

When the shadow wanted to turn around and left, he stopped in his track because Alex would have left appeared; the shadow couldnʼt even detect his presence.

ʼʼPlease stay. I have what you want. Isnʼt it this stone you are talking about?” Alex asked while playing with a black stone the size of an adultʼs fist.

The shadow almost shouted, ʼHow were you able to remain undetected. My senses were active all the time.ʼ, however, the man knows that Alex would not answer him even if he were to ask, and importantly he must acquire what is in Alexʼs hand; it was the stone he was after, it was truly invaluable for them.

ʼʼGive me the stone, and I will tell where your sister is.ʼʼ the shadow said; he tried searching for Sera. Still, he couldnʼt find her, so he concluded that she was gone, only Alex remained because of his special ability to hide his presence; it never came to him that he could also use on others besides himself.

ʼʼGive me something first, or do you take me for ten years, a child who knows nothing about how the world works?” Alex asked, eyes filled with killing intent.

The shadow chuckled before suddenly emitting an intense pressure; he intended to crush Alex and snatch the black stone. Unfortunately, it didnʼt work.

ʼʼYou know you may be Rank 10, but I can easily crush as one crush an ant.ʼʼ

Facing the manʼs provocation, Alex was unfazed.

ʼʼIf you can, you would have done that a long ago. Just start talking. Are you making a deal or not? I have shown you what you want. It is your turn to begin.ʼʼ Alex said.

The man hiding his features inside a black shadow became furious; he decided to teach Alex a lesson, so he disappeared.

At the same time, Alex murmured to himself, ʼʼItʼs time.ʼʼ

Just as the man was about to arrive behind Alex, he sensed an extreme danger, so he shifted his body to the right to dodge Seraʼs dimensional slash; it was a close call, even though he managed to dodge, he still received an injury.

Thanks to Seraʼs intervention, Alex could locate the man, so he jumped back, and while letting his body fall toward the ground, Alex aimed Silveria at where he sensed the man and fired.

[Erase!]

BANG!

The silver bullet tore through the air and struck the man in the chest; time seemed to have stopped.

The man coughed blood and was sent flying; his features became visible because the silver bullet erased the manʼs magic.

He was dressed in all black, white hair and eerie red eyes; the man glared at Alex and Sera; the latter just joined him.

ʼʼGood, very good. You two got me good. I will slaughter all your family before-”

Before the man could finish threatening Alex, he stopped to cross his arms to block Alexʼs incoming kick; the man was secretly grinning as he had managed to enrage Alex, making him come at him.

Just as Alexʼs dreadful kick was about to connect with the manʼs arms, bones spikes protruded from the arms. The man was sure that Alex would be injured for sure, yet what happened exceeded the manʼs expectation; green light appeared around Alexʼs feet at the last moment.

Fwoosh!

The speed of his kick got doubled.

Bang! Crack!

The strong force of Alexʼs kick broke the manʼs bones spikes, one of his arms smacked the man across the cheek, sending him spiraling across the air like twirling ballerinas.

[Crimson Bullet]

Without hesitation, Alex used his strongest attack; he knew he was weaker than the man, even Sera was not sure to win; therefore, Alex planned to seriously injure the man before interrogating him on his sisterʼs whereabouts.

The man who was sent flying had a bad feeling. Or maybe that should be called conviction. He felt a chill as if the hair on his back stood on end; he knew he must never let this bullet clash with his body or else there would be a severe consequence.

The man roared before taking out an oversized black tortoiseshell; it was the shell of an S Rank Water turtle dragon he had slain back in his heyday when he was still an adventurer.

[Absolute Defense]

The man added his skill on top of the tortoiseshell; black light covered the tortoiseshell; all of this was done in an instant, taking out the shell, adding his skill on top of it, it was done less than a minute.

Then Alexʼs crimson bullet collided with the reenforced black shell.

Kaboom!

At first, the reinforced black shell was able to stop the crimson bullet; however, it was only momentarily. As if the bullet had a mind on its own and refused to lose, the crimson bullet drained more MP from Alex, something that never occurred before, and fueled itself to become stronger.

Crack! Boom!

The reinforced black shell was broken; the S Rank Water turtle dragon shell said to be unrivaled in defense couldnʼt stop the crimson bullet.

Both Alex and the man got sent flying in opposite directions due to the shockwave produced when the crimson bullet destroyed the shell; the whole mine trembled as if it was about to fall.

Sera choose this time to move; she disappeared to reappear just below the man; she launched a deadly strike that would take the manʼs life by crushing his heart; however, even with his back facing Sera, the man still managed to block Seraʼs sword with his red sword that appeared behind him at the last moment, the man had never forgotten about Sera, he knew she was waiting for a chance, the perfect chance to deal a deadly blow, it was an assassinʼs instincts.

Therefore the man was prepared.

Clangs!

Sera also showed no sign of panic after her perfect sneak attack was blocked; she wouldnʼt be called the best assassin if this could make her lose her cool.

In the split second that her sword got blocked, Sera switched her method of attack; she pointed her index at the manʼs chest and said.

[Dimensional Slash]

The man got the fright of his life, he hastily shouted.

ʼʼTransform and Devour, Lüge.ʼʼ

The manʼs Gift was transformed into a small red snake that tried to bit off Seraʼs finger; she quickly closed her hand to dodge the snake attack, at the same time she grinned, using her knee she kicked sword toward the manʼs crotch after canceling her fake finger Dimensional Slash.

The man shifted his body, but he was slightly injured around his right thigh. The two used this opportunity to put some distance between them.

[Fire bullet]

The man didnʼt have the time to breathe before Alexʼs next attack was launched; furious, the man punched the air, a giant snake appeared and swallowed the incoming bullet. At the same time, Sera used the last of her energy to launch another Dimensional Slash.

While defending against Seraʼs spatial skill, Alex sneaked behind the man and slashed at him; although the man dodged Alexʼs knife, Reaper still managed to slice the manʼs left arm.

ʼʼUgh!ʼʼ

The man gritted his teeth; he tried to use his shadow skill to vanish; however, Alex made a last attempt. When the man glared at him after cutting off his left arm, Alex used his right eye, the deathʼs eye, on the man; the man became momentarily dazed; using this opportunity, Alex and Sera tried to catch the man.

However, before they could get close, the man crushed his own eyes with his remaining arm. It was Alex and Seraʼs turn to be dazed.

Like a vengeful spirit, the man bellowed.

ʼʼI shall remember todayʼs offense.ʼʼ

He then disappeared from the room.

Alex couldnʼt catch him, neither could Sera do anything; they were exhausted; this battle was no easy; they sat on the ground and looked at each other before sighing.

ʼʼShit! We still failed.ʼʼ Alex said, his voice was full of regret.

ʼʼDonʼt be hard on yourself. We may have failed, but we got something. This man seemed to know something, and we got an arm.ʼʼ Sera joked; however, Alex knew that she must have a way because when she talked about having got an arm, she smiled.

ʼʼYeah, thatʼs true.ʼʼ

While saying this, Alex stored the manʼs left arm inside his storage.
