Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 752 - 707: Discussion under the Moon

The night was as cool as water, and the moon was bright.

The starry sky was dazzling and boundless.

The waning moon was hanging over the sky, and several big stars in the starry sky were shining brightly.

Alex could not sleep; he strode toward the balcony and watched the stars.

ʼʼYou couldnʼt sleep either?”

He asked suddenly, his tone soft and calm. Maria walked out of the darkness and stood next to him; she stared at the stars in the sky as he did. Her black hair seemed to shine under the moonlight, and her ice-blue eyes shone beautifully. She was dressed in a see-through purple negligé that clung tightly onto her body, showing her beautiful curves.

ʼʼThe stars are beautiful; she loves them,ʼʼ she said.

There was no need to ask who she was talking about.

ʼʼDonʼt she will be able to watch the stars together with us soon.ʼʼ Alex declared, there was a certain feeling of assurance deep in his voice that made the listener automatically believe his words.

ʼʼHmm!” Maria nodded softly before leaning her head on Alexʼs shoulder; in silence, they watched the stars when suddenly a star fell.

Chuckling, Alex asked jokingly.

ʼʼHave you made a wish?”

ʼʼI did.ʼʼ Maria nodded and immediately asked.

ʼʼYou did it too, right?”

ʼʼNaturally, but first tell me what you asked,ʼʼ Alex asked, his eyes locked onto her beautiful face.

ʼʼI asked for eternal love between us.ʼʼ Maria calmly responded. Alex nodded; he knew when she meant eternal love between us, she meant between all of them, not only her but between his women and his friends.

ʼʼThatʼs a good wish. As for me, I asked for endless determination, determination to always look forward, to never falter, to charge, to love, to live, and to conquer every obstacle in my way. Thatʼs my wish. Pretty lame, isnʼt it?”

Maria shook her head; she didnʼt believe Alexʼs wish was lame; on the contrary, it showed how smart he was; if you donʼt have determination, you canʼt do anything. Be is to live, to fight; you would need determination to do it, so Alex asking for such a wish could be considered for asking for a good thing.

ʼʼHow is Gracier? Has she finally slept?” Alex asked because a few minutes ago, his sister was unable to sleep; she was having nightmares; among them, she must have been the most affected, because she was closer to Luna than the others. They often sleep together, so naturally, not seeing her as she went to sleep must have made her remember that she was not here; she was captured.

All of those things made the little devil lose her sleep, and the nightmares followed.

ʼʼYes, she slept. Sakuya and Sera are together with her, even that fox, I meant Kuina and Eris are there. You donʼt have to worry.ʼʼ Maria explained, as she was talking about Kuina, her gaze turned sharp; it was almost instinctual. She overheard what happened in Dragoneʼs City; although she had expected it somehow, reality hit her hard, and she had trouble swallowing it.

For a moment, complicated emotions flashed through those clear ice-blue eyes. Alex had seen them, but he acted as though he saw nothing. In certain situations, a case like this oneʼs better off pretending than jumping into the pit.

Silence descended on the balcony; the two seemed to be lost in thoughts until Maria broke the silence and asked.

ʼʼWhat do you think she would be doing? Is she fine?”

Her voice shook as she uttered those words; for Maria, who was always rational, tonight under the moonlight, under the stars, she became a little bit emotional.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, I know she is fine. I can sense it.ʼʼ

Alex declared and immediately summoned the Eternal Chain; like a child, the tip of the chain flew out his hand and gently wrapped around Mariaʼs wrist, she felt a cold sensation.

ʼʼItʼs cold yet warm at the same time. So, this child is the one that told you that Luna is fine?” Maria asked while caressing the black chain.

Alex nodded and explained how he left a pierce of the Eternal Chain inside Lunaʼs body.

ʼʼI see, thatʼs good. What is this childʼs origin?” She asked, looking at the black chain wriggling around her wrist.

ʼʼI donʼt know everything, but from what I can tell, it must be a weapon used by one of the supreme beings,ʼʼ Alex explained. Maria was shocked by the revelation.

ʼʼWhat a background, no wonder it was so powerful. Did this little child help you to acquire that form? I mean the one that changes your hair and makes you stronger physically.ʼʼ

She was talking about the Asuraʼs Form, but Alex was sure it was not because of the Eternal Chain he got that form. From Silveria and Nyxʼs words, the apparition of this chain made Alex assimilate the previous drop of blood he got when signing that contract with the crimson-haired woman in the crystal coffin.

Well, in a certain sense, it could be said it was this child that made what should have taken a few months to be reduced instantly; this could be taken as helping him. Therefore, Alex nodded.

ʼʼThatʼs good then; you should treat him fairly then,ʼʼ Maria said before letting go of the black chain.

Alexʼs lips twitched, but he said nothing; he called back the black chain, it immediately disappeared into his arm in the form of a black tattoo.

ʼʼA silver cross-shaped earring, tattoo on the chest, now tattoo on your whole arm, youʼre slowly moving toward a full-body tattoo, it seems.ʼʼ She teased.

Alexʼs body shuddered; he didnʼt dare to imagine such a day, a simple tattoo is good, but a full-body one is not his liking.

ʼʼRelax, Iʼm just joking. You donʼt have to be so stiff. By the way, what is your first plan to deal with the empire?” She asked, bringing the subject toward something more interesting.

Alex chuckled, and his eyes changed previously; they were peaceful as he was enjoying his time with his woman, but at this moment, they carried a touch of incomparable devilishness and chill that made oneʼs skin crawl.

ʼʼDonʼt worry, you will know soon, but first I must talk with Sera.ʼʼ
