Death Guns In Another World

Alex who woke up after another premonition thanks to his right eye was gasping for breath, his body was drenched with sweat. He went to freshen up before going to bed.

He was becoming scared of sleeping as he was afraid of having another premonition. He was still uncertain what his premonitions meant, to put it more bluntly he still doesn't know how to use this ability nor how to trigger it. Just that recently he seemed to be having them a lot.

''Sigh! Hopefully, what I see doesn't happen, especially the last premonition.'' He wished before closing his eyes while hoping to get another premonition. Alex has the feeling that there is something beyond the premonitions, something he could use.

After closing his eyes, he poured mana into his right eye, and like a bottomless pit, it swallowed everything before dragging Alex's consciousness somewhere.

•••

It was in a middle of a battlefield.

Several rays of coalesced radiance erupted, aiming at the enemy from all directions. Lilith wielded twin swords, expanding the black wings at her back and emanating the matchless, dazzling brilliance of the sun that enveloped her like a circular, protective screen. The Empress held the swords high, releasing two golden blade rays that flitted across the air alongside blustering winds, and headed straight into the dark clouds. Upon hitting the dense layer of cloud, it shrunk as though it were pricked by needles, before rolling away and letting out roaring thunder in its retreat. Meanwhile, erupted purple lightning bolts that struck the defensive shield she had deployed in advance. However, the purple bolts of lightning were deflected quickly and at the same time, Artemia extended and swung her arm to the side with a sword in hand.

Along with this movement, the horizon had as though been split into half. The formidable strength of the moon coalesced into an indestructible blade ray that swept across the entire sky into the thick layer of cloud. This attack was so powerful that the massive cloud almost split open in two. The crack in its middle was forcibly pulled apart by external forces. Whistling blade airflows penetrated the opening and ripped apart the tumbling cloud. At a glance, there was now an obvious crack on its surface.

"———!"

A deafening roar like a raging billow echoed in the clouds. Just the soundwaves alone were enough to shake the land. The clouds shrunk once again, merging into an enormous tornado from the human-shaped giant. Tremendous cold winds rose from the ground and formed a strong, sturdy barrier.

"Continue to give your all! It hasn't woken up from the seal yet. Use this chance to defeat it!"

Alex commanded while extending his arm forward. In this motion, an enormous cannon emerged from the horizon in a loud rumble, spurting steam from its cannon opening. Then, in an ear-deafening explosion, the scarlet blast released from the magic cannon aimed straight at the opening of the clouds slashed open by Artemia. In an instant, the tightly-contracted clouds rolled and swelled up like a balloon. At a glance, one could see coatings of scarlet inside the dark cloud as though it were bleeding. At the same time, the group heard an indignant wail.

''!!!"

After being attacked continuously, he was immensely enraged. After all, it was sealed for many years. He finally had the chance to be awake and yet was slammed in the face before he woke up entirely.

At Bahamut's furious snarl, the huge dense cloud changed its shape once again. It pounced on the ground and in just a few seconds, covered it. Then, it shrunk all of a sudden and as though being filtered through, the cloud disappeared and was replaced by a dozen fully-armored, mysterious beings which seemed like mages and knights. Not only that but Alex was also astonished to realize that these creatures were of different races.

Humans, demons, and even elves.

Alex exclaimed inwardly. Even though they looked different, there was something similar about them. Be it which race they were, their bodies were shrouded in black mist.

Swish———!

But this wasn't the time to be distracted. As soon as the mystifying creatures were summoned, they leaped and pounced on the group swiftly in trails of afterimages.

"Be careful!"

Without the need to guess, Alex knew that these guys were former powerful adventurers and other various powerhouses dead under the Chaos Organization's claws. Even though its strength decreased greatly, it gained an advantage in numbers as a result. Judging from this decision, it went to show that Bahamut wasn't naive at all. More importantly, these enemies weren't easy to deal with either. They had far more experience than ordinary people, and even they had to act cautiously against them.

Swoosh

Right after Rhode yelled, three figures appeared before him—a human soldier clad in armor, an elf knight donned in heavy armor, and a demon wielding a menacing-looking sword—all three of them surrounded him and attacked without saying a word.

The instant Alex witnessed the shimmering blade rays flashing at him, he knew the situation was far from good. He leaped back and along in this retreat he fired a round of bullets.

However, the enemy was able to deflect the bullet to Alex's dismay.

''Sera, can you take care of them?"

Rhode asked Sera who fighting nearby, he was clutching his knives while staring at the three enemies who had released their formation as soon as their assaults missed. Upon hearing his question, Sera responded.

"… I'm sorry, but they need assistance elsewhere, I'll be going over there.''

Upon hearing Sera's response Alex couldn't help but twitch his brows. He wanted to let someone take care of them while he would observe the battlefield, preparing for countermeasures.

"You want to take me down with numbers?!"

As the three enemies pounced on him again, Alex let out a snort. He extended his arms swiftly. The two silver daggers appeared in his hands before they transformed into two shiny blade rays that flew ahead and penetrated two of them. At the same time, he swung his right arm to the side. A black chain appeared and coiled around his hand before transforming into a signature black chain overflowing with murderous intent. Eterna had appeared and shot forward.

In this crisp sound, the black chain disintegrated and took shape into a pitch-black viper that snapped its jaw open. The coordination in this move was seamless from the moment Alex hurled the twin daggers forward to after he summoned Eterna. As though measured perfectly, the three blades of unique sizes struck at the three enemies respectively. Facing this retaliation from Alex, the three enemies didn't fluster at all. They gripped and brandished their swords at the blades.

However, as they almost parried Alex's attack, a dazzling white radiance flickered before them. The blades that they were about to resist had disappeared and were now replaced by the emergence of two persons.

The maneuvers of Zwei and Drei were like reflections in the mirror. They chuckled and their wide, long black robe fluttered in the air despite the shimmering blades seemingly puncturing their bodies. What was strange was that even though there wasn't anything wrong with the attacks from the human and elf, and their weapons had hacked into the two, there wasn't any spraying blood or painful sensation at all. The weapons had swung into the phantoms of the two and couldn't hit anything at all. But it was apparent that the human and elf were experienced fighters too. Upon realizing something was off, they turned over and raised the weapon before them immediately.

But it was all too late.

The shadowy figure of the Grim Reaper flitted across them in a flash. Zwei and Drei extended their right arms forward. The hidden razor-sharp blade inside their sleeve ejected and penetrated the enemies' throats. Then, they jumped and spun in midair like a dancer, before giggling and vanishing into thin air.

On the other hand, the demon didn't have it any easier. Facing Alex's attack, the demon slashed the sword from above. However, Alex flipped his wrist around swiftly. The Black chain extended to revolve and wrap around the demon's blade. The demon tried to retract the sword and retreat when suddenly, pitch-black light erupted in the place where the black chain should have been. A black mist soon covered the area.

At the next moment, Incursio emerged from the black mist with a sinister laugh. She stretched out her right hand and gripped the demon's skull. Before the latter reacted, three blades of black metallic sheens flew out of her sleeve and bundled the demon's neck. She tugged her right arm back, plucking the battle angel's skull out of its body. The headless body swayed before collapsing to the ground completely.

"You want to take me down with numbers? If it's number I also have them.''

''Summons!''

And from her shadow, countless things emerged.

''Leave this area to me and you should get ready, he is coming, Thanos with the core members. Typhania and others are waiting for you.'' Incursio declared urging Alex to leave and as if this served as some kind of signal, Alex woke up in the real world but it was still dark outside.

''I know what to do. I will use these premonitions to create countermeasures.''

Finally, he had found a meaning for the premonitions he had and what to do, it was certain that his action will change the future he saw but at least he would face things prepared unlike when he was clueless. This might be the key to their survival, the key to their victory.
