Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1033 - 967: Nemesisʼs Eye

Today the sunlight conjured the most brilliant mosaics, reflecting from each leaf and wisp of cloud. It was as if there was pure joy in the light as if it were happy to create art where it shone, warm and steady.

Alex woke up thinking maybe Maria would still be sleeping beside him, but to his disappointment, she was already gone. After freshening up, he stepped into the hall for breakfast. There, Maria, Luna, Artemia, Gracier, Saeko, Kuina, and Sakuya were sitting, waiting for him. Alex did not find Incursio; she must be busy taking care of something; he was not worried about her.

ʼʼGood morning, everyone.ʼʼ Alex greeted everyone as he sat in the main chair, he wanted to start eating, but because everyone was looking at him, he stopped and heaved a sigh.

ʼʼIt is because of my left eye?ʼʼ He asked when he knew they were looking at him, obviously because of his left eye. His left eye was now silver, unlike the previous green; he still got heterochromia eyes but not green- ice blue; currently, it was silver-ice blue. This new combination was so beautiful that one could not keep their eyes from him.

This new pair of eyes, coupled with Alexʼs handsome features, got highlighted, a deadly combination that increased his charm to the extreme.

ʼʼBeautiful!ʼʼ Gracier declared as if she was under a charm; she was not the only one, though. Even Maria, who had seen them before anyone, was also under the charm.

ʼʼBeautiful but dangerous this silver eye. I felt uncomfortable staring into it for a long time.ʼʼ Sakuya said, and the others nodded.

ʼʼWhat happened to your left eye? Why has it become silver?ʼʼ Luna asked while trying to remember where she had seen this kind of eye; it didnʼt take too long for her to know that Silveria got silver eyes, the same eyes as Alexʼs left eye.

ʼʼIt is a gift. Do not ask for now. Letʼs eat Iʼm hungry. I felt like I havenʼt eaten anything in a couple of days.ʼʼ Alex said, forcing them to stop the questioning; he felt like they would be spending all their time on this subject if he were to give in. He had a lot to do, so he spent no time playing, and with the answer, he gave them, most of them would have already connected the dots.

ʼʼLetʼs eat,ʼʼ Artemia suggested as well, and everyone nodded.

Breakfast was soft pancakes and berries, as warm as they would be in the sun, maple syrup threaded upon the top. It remains by Alexʼs favorite breakfast, yet it has nothing at all to do with the food. He loved it because others were there present as well. After all, his loved ones were in the same room.

Itʼs odd how humans transfer emotions that way, as if they couldnʼt quite accept how quickly they fell in love.

Sleeping together, waking up together, and sharing breakfast together, those simple gestures were what make life with your loved ones enjoyable as in simple things do we find happiness. So, Alex believed.

After the breakfast, Alex asked them to follow him somewhere.

ʼʼWhere are we going?” Gracier asked.

ʼʼIn a forest to train before raiding dungeons,ʼʼ Alex responded before taking the sky.

Kuina wanted to ask which forest he selected but stopped as everyone had already followed Alex. Soon, they were flying; they headed northeast to the capital, and fifteen minutes later, they arrived at their destination.

The forest was colossal, bright, and flourishing. Its canopy was marked by poplar, alder, and walnut, and occasional openings in their crowns allowed plenty of light through for a mishmash of sprouts to sprout in the flat, fertile grounds below.

Curving climbing plants grasped most trees, and a hodgepodge of flowers, which claimed remnants of light, brightened up the otherwise dark lower level.

A tumult of sounds, most belonging to rummaging critters, brightened up the forest and were accompanied by the occasional roar of a large animal trying to scare away predators.

ʼʼIt is Greenland,ʼʼ Kuina said as soon as they landed in this forest. Greenland is the name of this forest, and it was named because of its giant trees and green scenery.

ʼʼYou choose this forest because it has the property to quickly restore itself after receiving damage and because there was a special dungeon in the depth of this forest, right?” After a quick analysis, Kuina said, and Alex nodded.

ʼʼOkay, I want to fight. I will be fighting both Artemia and Maria at first.ʼʼ Alex declared; his declaration made everyone frown, especially those two; they felt like he was looking down on them; he was saying they would lose too easily if they were to take him on alone and as women with a lot of pride, this hurts them.

It doesnʼt matter if he was their man; he must not look down on them because he was their man and knew them best.

Alex could feel the tension in the air; he could see that the girls had misunderstood him; therefore, he ought to correct this misunderstood asap or else it would create a problem in the future.

ʼʼMy bad, my suggestion was not because Iʼm looking down on you but because there is something I wanted to test. I know your strength the best, so believe in me and do as Iʼve said.ʼʼ

ʼʼOkay.ʼʼ

Now that he had given them this explanation, they understood and accepted to follow his order. It was quite funny when one thinks about it. Usually, his order shouldnʼt have made them react as they did, but because they thought they were stronger on their own, they thought they could take him on alone.

Gracier and the others decided to put some distance between them and the three; they would watch the fight from the distance, while waiting for their turn.

The little devil secretly prayed to be selected; next, she wanted to fight her brother; it would be good if Kuina were put into her group as she was also a fire user, a Fox and a dragon fighting Alex should make a nice combination, Gracier thought.

Meanwhile, Alex was facing Artemia and Maria, both ready to start.

Screeee!

A yellow lightning attack extending from Artemiaʼs arm shortened the distance between her and Alex in an instant.

Craaaaaash! Boom!

Alex avoided the extremely-sharp lightning attack by stepping to the side, and without looking back, he blocked Mariaʼs sword.

Clank!

Her hand felt numb as a terrific force coming from Alexʼs dagger went inside her arm; she understood that she would lose if she didnʼt fight in her serious mode.

ʼʼBlitz!”

Alex called out a skill name, and immediately lightning chains shot out from their back, trying to pierce Mariaʼs back; however, she reacted faster and escaped; she joined Artemia, and together they stared at Alex as if they were looking at a freak.

ʼʼDamn! Every time he will surprise us with a new skill. Letʼs go all out; if not, I think we might not even last five minutes.ʼʼ Artemia said, and Maria nodded; she also felt like Artemia.

ʼʼIce Goddess Modeʼʼ

ʼʼLightning Goddess Modeʼʼ

Boom! When the two activated their strongest form, the trees in the surrounding were uprooted and shredded into pieces; lightning and ice combined to create a white lightning blizzard.

” Lightning Chains”Artemia shouted; her hair was dazzling gold like a celestial, and lightning danced around her head like a golden crown.

Multiple lightning chains appeared and quickly rushed toward Alex.

The attack was several times faster than Alexʼs Blitz, the one he had shot a few moments ago.

Meanwhile, Maria also acted; she modified the temperature, trying to infiltrate Alexʼs cells through his pores; she wanted to slow down his reaction; she also activated her domain, slowly turning the ground into ice. Artemia would not let him use the silver gun to cancel their magics.

Their combination was perfect; however, they made one miscalculation which was to think that Alex still needed to use his gun to cancel magic.

From a distance, Gracier understood something and shouted.

ʼʼBig sisters immediately fall back.ʼʼ She tried to warn them, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Since the beginning, Alex had never lost his smile; the way he was looking at them was as if a child who was about to play cricket.

ʼʼNemesisʼs Eye!” Alex finally tested the silver eye; he saw how the mana was structured; it was complex, but he could see the key point, and he had just to alter it; he saw how more complex mana covered their bodies from inside outside, to make them closer to their respective elements, to make them use their elements like it should be used, he felt like they were not using like they should use it but now wasnʼt the time for this, he had to end this fight and with just a thought, he broke the key points of their forms.

Artemia and Maria got goosebumps all over their bodies at that instant, and under their astonished eyes, their magics, and their ultimate forms, got canceled.

ʼʼEhh???ʼʼ
