Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 338 - 322: The Underground Cave

The following day, Alexʼs group could be spotted outside of Lorr; Cecyl and some villagers came to see Alexʼs group off.

ʼʼTake care, please come back once you find your sister; I promise you that this village will be lively.ʼʼ

Cecyl declared with determination; this is a vow, not only to Alexʼs group but also to herself, a reminder that she must not fail. Lorr is slowly regaining its color, but it was still far from what it used to be. Without a doubt, it will take some time; however, Cecyl was sure that Lorr would shine brighter than it used to; at least she would make sure of it; it was her duty.

Something she must do to repair all suffering her father brought.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, we will come back. So, better be healthy; we donʼt want to come and see an exhausted villager chief. Well, take care, we will be on our way.ʼʼ

Alex responded before waving at the villagers as they boarded the carriage.

ʼʼGoodbye, Heroes, may the Gods bless you!!”

The villagers kept shouting until Alexʼs carriage left their sights; giving one last glance at the carriage, which had already disappeared from their sights, Cecyl and the villagers returned to Lorr.

On the other side, Alexʼs carriage continued speeding through the paved road; it only stopped after ten kilometers.

In front of Alexʼs carriage was a group of people; behind them were two black wolves darker than night itself; their height was around 1.5 meters.

Alex, Luna, and Sera left the carriage; after paying the coachman, Alex sent him away.

Sera approached the group; they immediately bowed respectfully.

ʼʼ90, pay respects to Zero.ʼʼ

ʼʼ88, pay respects to Zero.ʼʼ

”77, pay respects to Zero.ʼʼ

ʼʼ5-”

ʼʼEnough, you may rise.ʼʼ Sera was getting annoyed; therefore, she stopped the fourth person.

ʼʼ88, report.ʼʼ

At Seraʼs order, 88 came forward; she started to report.

ʼʼOn the other two groupsʼ side, nothing was found. The leader said to assist you.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see; however, your assistance is not required here. Depart to Lorr assist the new head. Sheʼll need your help.ʼʼ Sera ordered, she didnʼt wish for their assistance; they have something more important to do, which is to assist Cecyl. She said assist by Alex knew that thereʼs more than that.

Eighty-eight bowed before disappearing with the others. After caressing the Shadow wolves, Sera turned her head in Alexʼs direction; she sensed the latter gaze.

ʼʼWhat?”

ʼʼI know that your Guild and the Dark guild donʼt like each other. So, what are planning to let your men be stationed in one of Dark guildʼs bastion? Are you asking for a war between guilds?”

Luna was also curious about why Sera would send her subordinates to Lorr, knowing that The dark guild in the dark owned Lorr; itʼs not like the empire was no aware of this, but they choose deliberately to put the blind eye as they also gain considerably from this.

ʼʼWell, Cecyl asked for my assistance, and I have agreed. Iʼm just fulfilling her request. Besides, Iʼm not anymore tied to the guild, I have a new employer, so I ought to take into account what is good for my employer.ʼʼ Sera responded with a smile.

ʼʼUgh!”

Alex grunted while Luna looked at Alex questioningly; she was curious about what Sera meant by a new employer; it didnʼt take her too long to connect the dots.

ʼʼNo way. Are you planning to snatch that guild masterʼs most powerful subordinate? What are you thinking?”

Luna questioned Alex after she understood what Sera meant.

Alex scratched his nose and explained.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, Elseria knows, and sheʼs okay with this. I will explain to you later; for now, we have more things to accomplish. Letʼs start.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. You better explain to me later. Letʼs start.ʼʼ Luna said before moving toward Sera, who was letting the Shadow wolves sniff of the manʼs arm.

Soon, the Shadow wolvesʼ eyes turned red before they returned to their usual black color. The shadow wolves sniffed the air, trying to find the appropriate location the smell was coming from, and soon they found it, so they dashed toward that location.

ʼʼDonʼt mind me. I can keep up.ʼʼ

Before Alex could say anything, Luna told them. A white light covered Lunaʼs body before she sprinted forward, going after the Shadow wolves.

Alex and Sera exchanged glances between both disappeared.

The trio chased after the two shadow wolves who went north. Soon, the group had traveled seventy kilometers; they have left the coastal region far behind, they were now in the middle of mountains.

They traveled for another forty kilometers before the shadow wolves stopped around a small mountain, they started howling.

ʼʼIt seems itʼs here.ʼʼ Sera stopped and approached the shadow wolves; she calmed them and said.

Alex and Luna scanned the small mountain; at first, nothing unusual were found, however as they kept scanning, the two found some anomalies.

After finally finding an entrance, Alex used vanishing bullets on the group to hide their presence as they entered the dark cave.

{A/N: Vanishing Bullet: Remove presence. The effect is dispelled upon taking any damage.

Cost: 200 MP

Duration: 3 minutes}

It was an underground cave; as the group descended, they didnʼt encounter anything. Alex started to feel reckless; he hoped to find his sister here; however, now he started to lose hope because of how things are going; the ones responsible for the kidnapping were already aware that they would come.

ʼʼI donʼt like it.ʼʼ

Luna said while looking around her; only darkness and eerie silence welcomed her sight.

Sera did not say anything, nor Alex talked; they continued to run deeper into the underground cave. Soon, they appeared in what seemed to be a laboratory; everything was destroyed.

Laying in the middle of this room was a corpse missing an arm.

ʼʼSigh! As I have feared, they knew we were coming. To think Rank 12 would be killed with hesitation, his heart was crushed. How cruel.ʼʼ

Sera commented as she observed the corpse lying on the ground.
