Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1720 - 1537: Monster Invasion 6

As Alex continued his descent through the treacherous Infinity Maze, he moved with the grace and speed of a silver whirlwind. The whispers that once offered cryptic messages had transformed into a constant, low hum, compelling him to venture deeper into the heart of the labyrinth.

Each battle against the grotesque creatures spawned by the abyss brought him closer to his ultimate goal. These abominations, fueled by the insatiable hunger of the abyss, were twisted parodies of life. The closer Alex got to the heart of the abyss, the more potent the curse became.

”Iʼm nearing the end,” Alex thought to himself, determination burning in his eyes.

”Iʼll finish this swiftly and join the others. I wonʼt rely on Ego, for he may be corrupted and I cannot risk what he might do.”

Alex proceeded with caution, refraining from using his cloning ability, which would have made the fight easier. Instead, he viewed this as a form of training, a chance to test his skills and enjoy the thrill of the battle.

Meanwhile, on the surface, a different kind of darkness unfolded, unbeknownst to Alex in the depths of the Infinity Maze.

Panic erupted in the bustling city of Lakeside. The once-vibrant streets were now a scene of utter pandemonium. Screams tore through the air as a monstrous entity, ripped straight from nightmares, emerged from the gaping maw of a collapsed underground dungeon. It wasnʼt a dragon, nor a towering giant – it was something far more alien, something the likes of which Lakeside had never seen before.

This monstrosity, christened on the spot as the ”Octopus Beast Emperor,” blotted out the sun with its grotesque, colossal form. Imagine a monstrous octopus, its body the size of a small mountain range, rising from the earth. Its eight, undulating tentacles, each thicker than the city walls themselves, writhed and lashed about like living serpents.

They werenʼt smooth, glistening appendages, but were instead covered in a grotesque tapestry of barnacles, shimmering scales, and razor-sharp suckers that pulsed with an unnatural bioluminescence.

Closer to the main body, where the tentacles met a central mass of writhing flesh, monstrous eyes, each the size of a siege tower, blinked open and shut, their pupils glowing with an ominous red light. A corona of writhing, serpentine tentacles, smaller than the main eight but still thicker than most city buildings, crowned the creatureʼs head, snapping and gnashing in a frenzy.

From the central mass, a horrifying maw, lined with rows upon rows of jagged teeth the size of swords, oozed a putrid slime that sizzled upon contact with the cobblestones. The stench that emanated from the beast was a suffocating cocktail of decay and brine, a testament to the creatureʼs long imprisonment in the bowels of the earth.

The sight of the Octopus Beast Emperor, a leviathan of unimaginable size and horrifying form, was enough to send even the bravest warriors running for cover. The ground trembled with each monstrous step, buildings crumbled under the inadvertent brush of a tentacle, and the very air crackled with a sense of impending doom.

The city of Lakeside, once a beacon of prosperity, was now under siege by a creature of nightmares, a monstrous harbinger of chaos from the depths of the earth.

When hope was on the verge of being consumed by despair, a figure emerged. It was not just any ordinary man, but a formidable beastman known as Crown Prince Leon. As Alexʼs friend engaged in a fierce battle with the monstrous creature, the remaining survivors were hastily evacuated. To instill courage in the hearts of people worldwide, the epic fight was broadcasted to the masses.

”I had hoped to dispatch you swiftly, but it appears your defense is far more formidable than anticipated. Very well, then. We shall prolong this encounter,” Leonʼs gaze turned icy.

”Perish!” he exclaimed, brandishing the lightning blade in his hand. With a single fluid motion, the fragmented pieces of the curved blade on the arc cutter swiftly reassembled, transforming into a slender golden blade measuring no more than a meter in length. Its thinness resembled that of a cicadaʼs wing.

Compared to its previous size of several dozen meters, this new blade possessed an incredible focus and density.

Whoosh!

ʼʼAdvanced Lightning Blade: Lightning Judgment!”

With a swift motion of the golden curved lightning blade, it pierced through the massive brain of the octopus beast emperor, as if effortlessly slicing into an apple.

”ANG~~” The beast emperor let out a deafening cry of agony.

Suddenly, a ferocious spray of ink-like poison erupted from the wounded creature, filling the air with a noxious haze.

This intense battle gripped the attention of every onlooker, leaving them breathless with anticipation.

As Leon became completely engulfed in the black poison, a wave of concern washed over the onlookers. It was a well-known fact that among the seaʼs formidable creatures, the two most powerful were the grand emperors - the octopus beast emperor and the lightning dragon emperor.

The lightning dragon emperor was renowned for its incredible speed, electric attacks, and raw power, making it a formidable opponent. However, when it came to the aspect of poison, the octopus beast emperor reigned supreme.

With its potent venom, regenerative abilities, and deadly strangling power, the octopus beast emperor was unrivaled in terms of poison. Its ability to unleash a ferocious spray of ink-like venom was a testament to its dominance in this area.

In this battle, the octopus beast emperorʼs lethal poison became its greatest weapon, posing a significant threat to Leon and adding an additional layer of danger to the already intense fight.

The mighty Octopus Beast Emperor let out anguished cries and its thick tentacles thrashed about wildly. Its massive brain swelled and contracted, resembling a mountain in motion. Madness and pain filled its enormous, house-sized eyes.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion echoed through the air.

A gaping wound, measuring two to three meters in diameter, erupted on the creatureʼs head. A geyser of white and red liquid erupted, spraying in all directions.

The Octopus Beast Emperorʼs eight massive tentacles drooped lifelessly, and its colossal body began to descend rapidly.

With a thunderous crash, its floating island-like form collided with the earth below, causing the ground to tremble as if in the grip of an earthquake. The shockwave shattered houses that had stood for decades, filling the air with a cloud of dust.

The Octopus Beast Emperor, one of the two grand emperors in the hardest underwater dungeons, had met its demise!

Emerging from the black poison, Leon floated and soared above, casting his gaze upon the lifeless body of the fallen Octopus Beast Emperor.

A moment of silence enveloped the world before jubilant cheers erupted from every corner. He had saved them, effortlessly slaying the monstrous creature. Only Leon and those who possessed great power understood the immense struggle it took to emerge victorious in this battle.
