Death Guns In Another World

Alex did not show Typhania everything; however, what the latter wanted, she had found it; what she said next shocked him and made him jump back.

''As expected, you don't have one.'' Typhania had declared with a grave expression.

''Be more explicit and tell me what you're talking about,'' Alex stated, hoping that the Elven Goddess wouldn't beat around the bush and would immediately answer him, and it was what she did, but not the way Alex expected.

''Mother's Nature embrace.''

Immediately after Typhania called out, the tree's roots shot out from the ground aiming at Alex while their leaves sharpened and, like shurikens, shot toward Alex.

He was attacked from all sides, and because he had spent half of his mana and almost emptied his reserve of silver energy, Alex frowned, but this do was didn't mean he was helpless facing her attack.

A silver gun appeared, and sunlight shone on it before it moved.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!

Multiple gunshots rang out; Alex destroyed those leaves like shurikens with normal bullets while simultaneously creating a small inviolable domain around himself. The tree's roots were unable to come closer, and just as Alex wanted to go on the counterattack, something unexpected happened that not him had anticipated.

The new tree's roots that came attacking released deadly pollens from their tip, and those pollens got mixed in the air, and Alex inadvertently inhaled some of them, and he was immediately brought to his knees.

''Cough!" Alex violently coughed blood; he thought he was immune to most poisons thanks to his special and enhanced physics, but Typhania's poison released by the tree's roots seemed not to be included, and he was suffering greatly from them.

〖Now you're aware of one of your shortcomings. I thought you'd have it on your own but sadly, you didn't; however, thankfully, this girl noticed it, and now you can remedy to this problem.〗Nyx's voice echoed inside Alex's mind shocking him; now that Nyx brought that matter up Alex remembered that he was indeed lacking when it comes to having a powerful resistance to poisons, he thought it would be okay with the many special physics he got thanks to his many special forms; unfortunately, today fight proved him that he was just being arrogant, overconfident in his physics.

Typhania approached Alex, whose half of his face had gained a purple shade, and said.

''You must have noticed by now what you urgently need.''

''Cough! Yes..I do.'' Alex acknowledged it; he was shocked to see his high regenerative skill being unable to erase the toxins trying to cover every one of his cells.

''Cough!'' Alex vomited purple blood, and his veins were pulsating across his face, creating a hideous image on his handsome face, but he didn't care as there was something more important to do.

''I bet you did this because you've got the solution. I'm listening.''

Typhania nodded, acknowledging Alex's speculation.

''Indeed, I have the solution, but you must know that it would be extremely painful. Will you still want to continue?" She asked with a teasing smile, she knew the answer yet still asked, and Alex didn't disappoint her.

''Don't make me laugh. No pain, no gain. Bring it on.''

Upon hearing this answer, Typhania couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of her mouth perked up.

''Good, let's begin.'' Automatically after uttering those words, Typhania flicked her fingers, and a dark green vine shot from beneath her feet and pierced Alex's chest, going straight into his heart and; because from the beginning until this happened, Alex never showed the slightest resistance; everything happened swiftly and smoothly.

However, Alex soon experienced an intense pain that almost forced his knees to give up.

Alex gasping for air, almost stumbled on his feet but managed not to; the world seemed to spin around him as if telling him to give up because of the intense pain, and for he wanted to give up, there was no way he could keep going feeling like this. He held his fingers against his temples and gently massaged them. One deep breath followed another; indeed, this pain could be ignored if he tried, if he endured long enough.

Tried as he might, it seemed impossible to relax completely. Alex was unable to block out the pain entirely. But he managed to block out some of the pain by keeping his mind occupied with other thoughts. It wasn't ideal, but by the time he was done, the pain would hopefully have subsided again.

〖Endure it, master, the more you endured, the most benefits you'll get.〗Silveria encouraged him, and even without her encouragement, he would have continued because he understood as soon as that vine pumped poison into his heart that the more he endured, the most benefits he would get, so he continued to endure.

Typhania who was watching him, nodded in silence. Knowing him, she was certain that he would have understood even without her spelling anything; he was that smart, after all. The Elven Goddess simply watched, not offering no words of comfort as it was not his role. To begin with, there weren't that close; she could let that responsibility to his women and loved ones. They were just acquaintances using each other, nothing else.

Watching Alex wriggle in pain like that unexpectedly brought some kind of joy to the Elven Goddess when she thought about everything she had to sacrifice, everything she went through for this man, everything she suffered just to have him cooperate with them, all of this because of some prophecy stating that Alex was the one capable of saving this world from damnation and the only one capable of succeeding in bringing them to the Higher World.

At first, she was doubtful, wondering if the prophecy wasn't some kind of joke, however after observing him and seeing what this man could do and how fast he was progressing, hope was birthed inside Typhania's heart, and once again, she believed and decided to do anything to help him achieve their goal.

''Oh? I think it's time for round two.'' Typhania broke out of her reverie and stated to Alex's despair; he who thought that he had adapted to the pain and would soon overcome it flinched at Typhania's words, and the Elven goddess smiled seeing this.
