Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1233 - 1129: Meeting with the Empress

A wisp of white flame and black static lightning was discharged from her. It looked like she lost control for a second. The next second, the discharge was cut off. Aliceʼs expression is a bit flushed, it seems like something went wrong.

ʼʼIt seems that it wonʼt be easy at all,ʼʼ Alice remarked before smirking.

She then started shifting between flames and lightning, she would make flames shoot out of her right hand and then shoot out of her left hand while playing with lightning-like some kind of party clown, juggling her newfound powers like she was playing with harmless firecrackers. She demonstrated a control so high it looked like she trained for years in handling these powers.

If someone was here they would have gasped as they got slammed with astonishment, wondering if their eyes werenʼt playing a trick on them.

”Well...”

Alice juggled flames and lightning while nonchalantly explaining herself.

”The vassals took me by surprise, they tried to pull a quick one on me, what you saw was them making a ruckus within me. Now...”

She chuckled with a confident look.

”Even if they rampage, once they are inside me, they can forget about escaping my control.”

The two familiars werenʼt chill with taking orders from Alice. But, for some unknown reason to them, she could fully utilize them, keeping them in line.

The familiars were sentient so after they figured out their masterʼs abilities, they gave up all notion of rebellion. Instead, they decided to go dormant in her unusual blood, waiting for the day their master called upon them.

The familiarsʼ sentience gave the summoners an added advantage. For instance, because of this, they werenʼt easily fooled like normal beasts. If the familiars were just blobs of magic power given form without sentience, the vassal beasts would have to be demoted several levels.

But, there were downsides too. Vassal beasts might deem their masters unfit, or incapable, or get frustrated with their masters. Then, these familiars would rampage out of the summonerʼs control, itʼs quite common for this to happen when thereʼs a great disparity between the summoner and the familiars. Taken together, these cases were few far and few in between.

Aliceʼs cocksure look drew another look of amazement from a certain spirit secretly watching over her. She shifted her attention to the flames and lightning in his hands. She examined it with a grave look.

Upon closer inspection, she understood that these powers were more terrifying than she had initially assumed. The flames werenʼt hot and the lightning didnʼt behave according to the law of physics, she can tell, these powers were entirely different from anything she knew.

Especially that black lightning in Aliceʼs hand, when she laid her eyes on them, she felt terrified.

Itʼs not because the lightning is more powerful than the flames. It just felt like the black lightning is a nemesis to her.

That spirit inhaled deeply as she calmed down before going into a dormant state, it was not the time to meet this child.

Alice had no idea that someone was watching her, even with her sharp senses which would mean, whatever the identity of this person was, she was not weak, this person is extremely powerful or at least extremely good at camouflage, or else Alice would have since a long ago felt its presence, something that didnʼt happen, testament of the latter partyʼs strength.

While Alice was busy thinking of how to properly use her familiarsʼ power, someone knocked on her door and it was that maid who welcomed them.

ʼʼMistress Alice, my master is calling you, she is waiting inside the garden.ʼʼ The maid declared while waiting for Aliceʼs response.

Alice frowned upon hearing the maidʼs declaration as this master she was talking about canʼt be Kuina because she was still unconscious, then thereʼs one person left fitting these criteria, Alice thought, Kuinaʼs mother.

ʼʼShe is fast.ʼʼ She thought before she rose to her feet and walked towards the door, opening it she looked at the maid before declaring.

ʼʼLead the way.ʼʼ

The maid nodded at Aliceʼs request before turning around and guiding Alice until their arrived at the garden.

°°°

A luscious garden of grass is contoured by thick hedges. A pagoda stands in the back left of the garden, still barren, but slowly being overgrown by climbing vines. The flowers and plants are a pride and joy within this garden, as theyʼre very well cared for; theyʼre highlighted with garden lights. The hedges reach 1.5m/5ft high, but this is about as tall as theyʼll reach.

Archways overgrown with flowers are scattered throughout the garden, leading visitors to the best spots. Vines have already begun to crawl their way over and around the garden, eager to claim all pieces of land.

The pagoda can be admired even from every side of the garden. The flowers and plants are surely a sight to behold, and the hedges make sure theyʼre paid attention to as well, but the focus is just simply on the pagoda.

The maid stopped before pointing at the pagoda, Alice understood that from here onward she would have to continue forward alone, which she did.

She didnʼt have to walk for long before arriving at the pagoda where a woman could be seen sitting with her legs crossed. Her beauty, no words could be used to describe her, she sat there with a regal air surrounding her, she seemed to be loved by the world around her, only a true ruler loved by the world, acknowledged by the world could exude this kind of majesty Alice reckon.

This could be said to be her first time meeting the ruler, the empress of the Foxia Empire, a kingdom that rose to the level of an empire in this generation, under the tight leadership and competent hand of the Iron Fox empress, becoming the third superpower on the Demi-humans continent, no normal woman could accomplish this.

ʼThis woman is truly extraordinary.ʼ Alice assessed, doing her best to get rid of the chilling sensation she felt the moment that woman laid her eyes on her.

ʼIʼm not ordinary either.ʼ Alice declared inwardly while fighting the immense pressure coming from the empress, the latter was impressed, so much that she smiled.

ʼʼWe finally met Alice from the wonderland.ʼʼ
