Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1739 - 1555: Against the King of Monsters 1

In a blink of an eye, several days had swiftly passed.

At long last, a unanimous decision was reached by the esteemed assembly of the World Council, comprising all influential figures across the globe. It was decreed that two formidable rankers would venture forth to confront the formidable swallowing beast to test the water. These two individuals served as the very backbone of the mighty Drexian Empire.

Despite the fact that Maria and the other individuals possessed higher levels and greater power, it was deemed prudent not to deploy them at this time. It was essential to remember that the true adversary, Bahamut, and the Chaos Organization had yet to make their appearance. Therefore, it was imperative to conserve their strength and refrain from acting hastily.

Nightfall descended.

The deep, abyssal ocean resonated with ominous roars, while the winds howled relentlessly, shrouding everything in darkness. And amidst this tumultuous backdrop, the most dreaded adversary of humanity, the swallowing monster, clashed in a fierce battle against Elliot and Marcus, the esteemed rankers known as the Lightning God!

A thunderous rumble echoed through the air!

With lightning speed, Elliot and Marcus unleashed their most formidable techniques, exclusive to those blessed with the power of domains. Without the mastery of their own domains, such skills would remain beyond their reach.

In an instant, Elliotʼs entire being, including his spear, was engulfed in an ethereal black radiance.

Meanwhile, Marcusʼs form was veiled in a serpent-like green luminescence.

The two warriors transformed into beams of light, hurtling towards the swallowing monster from opposite directions. Suspended mid-air, the monsterʼs dark eyes glinted coldly as it beheld the approaching humans. From its perspective, these two individuals were mere ants, albeit slightly stronger than the countless others who had attempted to challenge its might.

The swallowing monsterʼs arrogance proved its undoing. While it underestimated their raw power, it failed to account for the unique synergy between Elliot and Marcus.

Elliot, empowered by his Earth and Water domain, arrived first. The ground rumbled as he planted his spear, causing a series of earthen walls to erupt from the ocean floor, momentarily restraining the beastʼs monstrous maw. These werenʼt mere walls, but fortifications imbued with the oceanʼs immense pressure, making them incredibly tough.

From the other side, Marcus, the Lightning God, zipped past the walls, a blur of emerald light. His attack wasnʼt a direct assault, but a masterfully crafted web of crackling lightning. The tendrils of electricity snaked around the creature, not harming it directly, but overloading its nervous system.

The effect was immediate. The beast, accustomed to brute force attacks, thrashed in a frenzy of pain and confusion. Its roars turned into pained screeches as the electrical storm danced across its colossal body. The earthen walls, already straining under its sheer size, began to crumble.

Seeing this, Elliot knew a window of opportunity had opened. With a battle cry that echoed across the churning ocean, he channeled the power of the sea into his spear. The black radiance intensified, swirling with the fury of a tempest. He then launched himself towards the beast, not at its maw, but at a fleshy protrusion on its side.

The impact was earth-shattering. The spear, empowered by both earth and water, pierced through the flesh with a sickening squelch. A geyser of seawater erupted from the wound, further adding to the chaos. The beast howled in agony, thrashing even more violently now, the electrical storm Marcus had woven around it amplifying the pain.

This was their advantage. Elliot and Marcus werenʼt trying to overpower the beast directly. They were exploiting its weaknesses, using their contrasting domains to create a symphony of disruption. The beast, used to straightforward assaults, didnʼt know how to counter their combined attack.

As the fight raged, the night sky above them pulsed with an otherworldly light show. Elliot, a living embodiment of the seaʼs fury, continued his assault, each strike imbued with the immense force of the ocean. Marcus, a weaver of lightning, danced around the beast, creating a constant barrage of electrical pain.

The swallowing monster, once a symbol of unstoppable terror, was now a cornered beast, its roars turning into whimpers. The battle wasnʼt over, but the tide was turning, thanks to the ingenious combination of Elliotʼs Earth and Water domain with Marcusʼs mastery of Lightning.

The sky stretched endlessly above the boundless sea. The majestic creature, with its golden horns, moved with incredible speed, its tail a blur as it swished through space, closing in on Elliot and Marcus. A thunderous boom reverberated through the air as the enemyʼs spear struck the beast, weakening its tail.

A primal howl echoed through the surroundings as the golden horned creature raised its head in fury. It had underestimated these two, initially dismissing them as mere ants with a bit of extra strength. It had assumed that its normal power would be enough to crush them effortlessly.

But now, faced with their astonishing abilities, the beastʼs perception shifted. These tiny humans possessed powers that surpassed even its knowledge of the rankers humans passed down through its bloodline. Their swordsmanship and spear skills were awe-inspiring, each strike seemingly guided by the worldʼs will themselves, making it impossible for the creature to anticipate their moves.

In a sense, this young golden horned beast, only a year old with a long life ahead, was like a human infant, newly born and still reliant on milk. Despite its elite bloodline and vast inherited memories, it had to learn everything beyond its innate techniques.

”Roar!”

The golden horned beast unleashed a deafening roar, its mouth wide open, ready to strike.

”Oh no!”

”Be careful!”

Elliot and Marcusʼs expressions turned grave as the entire world watched this scene through a magical satellite. The onlookersʼ faces filled with concern, for they were all too familiar with the golden horned beastʼs unique ability - the power to devour.

Rumbling with determination, Elliot and Marcus swiftly executed their pre-planned strategy, flying in unison towards the same destination. Against all odds, they remained united. The golden horned beastʼs eyes locked onto these two tiny specks, its rage intensifying. These insignificant humans were practically begging for their lives to be taken.

The creature believed it could swallow them one by one, but now that they were together, it could devour them both in a single strike.

”Chi chi...”

The formless space expanded, covering an area of several hundred meters and enveloping Elliot and Marcus within its grasp.

”Brother-in-law,” Marcusʼs expression shifted slightly.

”Hmph.”

Elliot, with a wave of his hand, utilized the power of the Earth element to create and condense a massive quantity of black metal between himself and the devouring monster.

Authorʼs Note: Just for your information, both Elliot and Marcus are peak Demigod rankers, meaning they were on the verge of reaching Level 200. However, they were unable to surpass this level due to the curse that has enveloped the world. Their actual levels are 195 and 194, respectively.
