Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 375 - 358: Their Next Destination

Alone inside his room, Alex took out a small stone, a communication stone. Pouring Mana into it, the stone was lighted, then a surprised voice came from the other side.

ʼʼAlex? How unexpected. I never thought that you would contact me so soon. Or it is because you miss me?” Artemia decided to tease Alex.

Alex chuckled. ʼʼI do miss you; however, itʼs not the reason for my call. How are you doing over there?”

ʼʼIʼm fine; your sister is doing fine as well. Maria and Luna are training under the headmistress and the paladin, respectively. We donʼt see each other often. How about you?” Artemia asked.

ʼʼIʼm fine. Sakuya and Lilith are fine as well. By the way, Lilith said to say Hi! to you.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Has she opened up a bit?” Artemia asked if Lilith was still acting cold.

ʼʼNo, she even cracks jokes. Enough with that. The reason for my call is-”

ʼʼBecause the demons are trying to infiltrate the hex cities to render useless Avalonʼs ultimate shield. Am I wrong?” Artemia cut off Alex and said.

ʼʼSigh! I mustnʼt be surprised. Sure, news travels faster, especially when it concerns the empireʼs security. Yes, itʼs what I wish to talk about; however, I want the name of the other cities; I couldnʼt ask here because by doing that, it would raise questions, questions I do not wish to answer.ʼʼ Alex told Artemia the reason for his call.

ʼʼI understand. I have already prepared everything for you. Father has already sent men to other cities. After all, he couldnʼt let the demons succeed. He was furious; this move is like a slap on his face. Lucifer is becoming more and more daring.

Sigh! Demons never learn, do they?”

ʼʼDonʼt talk like that. They must have a stronger backer for them to become this brazen. You know the story behind Lilithʼs family. Do you think that Lucifer would have slaughtered his family members, making the eighth dukes submit so quickly if there was not someone helping him?”

Facing Alexʼs words, Artemia sighed before saying.

ʼʼIndeed, however, nothing was found by our spy; we donʼt know who is behind Lucifer. I even thought it was the black dragon; however, the latter seals are still working, not even his consciousness can go out. So, only one explanation is left, maybe behind Lucifer is the mysterious organization, the same that tried killing you, the one responsible for your sister kidnapping.ʼʼ

ʼʼWell, I also think the same thing, however, because they have hidden pretty well, no much is known about them, for example, what is their goal? World domination? Destruction? Either way, we must be prepared. Troubles are coming; not only demons we should be wary of, but the Holy empire also is not clean either. You know what Iʼm talking about.

Forget it, letʼs talk about urgent matters, the Holy empire situation shall be taken care of later.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay, I understand. Here are the names of the five cities:

➤ Venis

➤ Celesta

➤ Panam

➤ Laurel

➤ Vallon

Celesta is the closest city to your current location, with a fast carriage you will be there in two days.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Our next destination shall be Celesta then. Would you please look after my sister? I hope her training is going well?” Alex asked about Gracier.

ʼʼYeah, she did pretty well. Donʼt worry about us. Just focus on your mission.ʼʼ

ʼʼI will. I wish you a good night. Say Hi to my sister for me.ʼʼ Alex said it was time to end the communication.

ʼʼGood night too. I will tell her.ʼʼ Artemia said and tried to cut off the communication on her side; however, she was stopped by Alex.

ʼʼWhere is my goodnight kiss?” Alex asked in a serious tone.

When Artemia heard what Alex had to say, she couldnʼt help but raise her voice.

ʼʼFuck off!”

ʼʼHahaha! What a shy lady.ʼʼ Alex laughed when Artemia cut off the communication.

At the same time, in an unknown location, inside a room, to be more precise, a young man could be seen doing push-ups using his left-hand thumb. There was sweat all over his body; his right arm was crossed behind his back; however, this arm was all black, as if the young man was wearing a long black glove over it.

ʼʼ788, 799, 800, 801-”

ʼʼCain, Lord Thanos wishes to see you.ʼʼ

From outside of the young manʼs room, a voice came. The young man called Cain stopped doing his push-ups, he stood up and put on a white plain mask, only his short blonde hair was visible, after putting on some clothes, he left the room.

Outside, there was a girl, the one that informed him that he was called. This girl wore a black robe; drawn on the robe was the symbol of a half-closed red eye.

ʼʼFollow me,ʼʼ she said.

Cain followed the girl silently, the latter crushed something inside her hand, immediately, the scenery around them was wrapped, the hallway disappeared and was replaced by a throne hall.

A lone man dressed in a red robe, wearing a white mask with the same symbol as the girlʼs robe, could be seen sitting on a throne.

ʼʼLord Thanos, I have brought him. Glory to the Supreme one.ʼʼ The young girl bowed before disappearing.

Only left in the throne hall were Cain and the man on the throne, the one called Lord Thanos.

ʼʼCain, how is your right arm? Have you gotten used to it?” Lord Thanos asked.

ʼʼYeah! Thereʼs no problem.ʼʼ Cain responded flatly.

ʼʼI believe you donʼt call to ask this. Spit it. What do you want?” Cain asked; his tone was not friendly; he was furious because his training time was disturbed; he needs strength to avenge.

ʼʼHahaha! Unfriendly as always. Well, it doesnʼt matter. The reason for your call is because there is a mission for you.ʼʼ Lord Thanos was said.

ʼʼWhere is? What do I need to do?” Cain asked; talking too much isnʼt something he likes, especially when it means wasting more of his time.

ʼʼYour mission will be to destroy a magic stone located somewhere in a city. Celesta. Better not fail because the one sent at Elesim fail. Seven will accompany you.ʼʼ Lord Thanos explained.

ʼʼTch!ʼʼ Cain clicked his tongue; Seven is someone he didnʼt wish to deal with; however, orders are orders, he couldnʼt go against them. He signed with the devil; time for some payback.

ʼʼYou can leave.ʼʼ Lord Thanos waved his hand, and Cain found himself standing in front of his room. He couldnʼt help but sigh; the man power is unfathomable.

ʼʼCelesta, huh?! I hope it would be fun.ʼʼ Cain smiled behind his mask.
