Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 357 - 340: Gracierʼs Awakening

ʼʼLex, Gracier has woke up.ʼʼ

Lunaʼs voice brought unexpected joy to Alex; he forgot about what he was doing; he dashed toward his sisterʼs room, leaving Luna and Silveria being; the two looked at each other before bursting into laughter. Shortly, they followed after him.

••••

Letʼs rewind to a slightly earlier time, Gracierʼs room.

She was still sleeping; inside the room, sitting on chairs around her, were three beautiful girls, Maria, Luna, and Sakuya.

ʼʼSo, you were saying last night you talked with the second princess?” Luna inquired as she glanced at Gracier, who was sleeping; for a moment, Luna thought maybe Gracier breathing became irregular.

ʼIt must be my imagination.ʼ Luna thought as she waits for her sisters to recount last nightʼs discussion with Artemia.

ʼʼWell, we talked with her, she told us what happened. We can blame her, nor we can blame Alex because he had not done what he did; maybe there wonʼt be any Artemia nor Alex today. Hereʼs what happened.ʼʼ

Sakuya recounts what happened, how Alex was forced to use such a special method to save Artemia.

ʼʼI see. So thatʼs what happened. Alexia, what is your thought. Iʼm not against her joining us as she got the potential, and Iʼm not afraid of her taking my position; I just have to make her know her place.ʼʼ Luna turned to face Maria.

Maria touched her chin for a moment before sighing.

ʼʼIn the past, I wanted to have her as our ally; however, now that the rice has been cocked and she has become one of us. There is nothing I canʼt do about it; you understand Alex more than we do. Will he let go of her if I said I donʼt want in the harem?ʼ

Luna and Sakuya stared at each other before Luna responded,

ʼʼProbably not. He will try to convince you.ʼʼ

ʼʼSee, I know, and itʼs not like Iʼm against Artemia joining the harem. As you said, she got the talent, and my intuition tells me that she is hiding something big. Maybe Alex knows about it, maybe not. However, the fact that she became one of us is a good thing for us, for our man. We need powerful companions, trustable allies; who can be more trustable than a woman tied up with our man?

I believe we will gain enormously with her by our side. However, I donʼt want another princess to be added so soon, especially-”

ʼʼKuina.ʼʼ Sakuya completed what Maria wished to say.

It is not a secret to anyone that Kuina and Maria are fire and Ice; unexpectedly, Mariaʼs answer shocked Sakuya and Luna.

ʼʼWhat I meant to say is not Katherina; I donʼt like her. We have already secured a princess her; itʼs more than enough.ʼʼ Maria said.

ʼʼYou, even here, your mentality never change. You wish to have control. If Iʼm not wrong, it will be good if Alex could get princesses from other empires; like this, you will have a foothold in every empire, it will be easy to control them from inside.ʼʼ Sakuya hypothesized, and Maria smiled.

Seeing her smile, Luna couldnʼt help but think her sister was insane; however, Mariaʼs following words confirmed that she was a bit crazy.

ʼʼIt will be good if the guild master Elseria becomes one of our sisters.ʼʼ

ʼʼYou are crazy. Why not add master while you are it.ʼʼ Luna rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming.

ʼʼFufufu! World domination is not a bad plan. Obviously, we will leave this world while not make it our?” Like Maria, Sakuya becomes crazy; her sadistic side has been awakened.

ʼʼWell said.ʼʼ Maria agreed with Sakuyaʼs statement.

ʼʼYou girls are crazy,ʼʼ Luna commented. It happened at that moment.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Suddenly, out of the blue, Gracierʼs heartbeat accelerated.

ʼʼWhat happening?”

The girls approached Gracier; the temperature around her became hot.

After a quick check-up, Luna reassured them.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, she is about to wake up; she must be fighting against something in her dream. Donʼt worry; itʼs nothing serious; we canʼt help anyway. Letʼs just wait.ʼʼ

Maria and Sakuya nodded and stood up around Gracier; using her Ice element; Maria reduced the temperature around Gracier.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

Gracierʼs heartbeat accelerated once more.

At the same time, in Gracierʼs inner realm, it could also be called a dream she was fighting against a dark Gracier. This Gracier had the same features as Gracier, expected that this Gracier had long dark hair and eyes.

ʼʼFufufu! Look how pathetic you are, Gracier. Itʼs because youʼre like this that you kept causing trouble for everyone around you. How long do you think you can keep this up? Maybe, when another one of your loved ones dies? For example, your precious big brother?” The dark Gracier asked as she levitates about the magma.

ʼʼShut up!”

Boom!

Gracier bellowed; the hot lava around the two rumbled as if to respond to her anger.

ʼʼFufufu! Letʼs me take over; II will protect everyone. I shall kill everything that stands in our way. I would slaughter gods if they displease me, my family, slaughter Buddhas if they did the same thing. I shall stand supreme; itʼs only this way I can protect those I love; like this, I canʼt be bullied, never lose someone.

So, little Gracier, let me take over from now on; you have already done what you could; time to get some rest.ʼʼ

Like a devil, the black Gracier tried to make Gracier leave her the control of her body.

ʼʼShut up!ʼʼ

ʼʼFire lotus!”

Boom!

At Gracier, a gigantic Fire lotus appeared around the black Gracier and exploded; however, with the swipe of the latter hand, the Fire lotus got instantly extinguished.

ʼʼWeak, weak! Too weak. You are-”

Before the black Gracier could finish what she was saying, she furrowed her eyebrows because there was a change in the air.

Gracier, who was previously kneeling on the hot lava with bruises and torn off clothes started to float in the air; the flame inside the volcano started floating around her for a moment before they enveloped her body. Her hair turned into a flame.

ʼʼNo good!”

Knowing that she must not Gracier complete her awakening, the black Gracier launched a black flame spear toward Gracier, intending to stop Gracierʼs awakening; however, just as the black spear was about to reach Gracier, the latter stretched her hand and caught it, unexpectedly, the black flame became docile.

[Lord of Hundred Flames Awakening]

[Black Judgement!]

Kaboom!

That black flame spear was sent back to the sender at incredible speed; the black Gracier couldnʼt even move as she was swallowed and disappeared in the black flame.

ʼʼFufufu, remember little Gracier Iʼm always there, at the slightest chance I will take over your body, be-”

Plop!

As if she had no strength left, Gracier fell into the hot lava with a ragged breath; simultaneously, she woke in real life.

After Gracier disappeared, Ignia appeared and mumbled.

ʼʼNot bad, Lord of Hundred Flames; however, you still have a long way to go.ʼʼ
