Death Guns In Another World



Alex who was silent started laughing again.

"Don't tell me we are in another dream realm?"

"No, we're not."

Nyx denied.

"You are in a state of clarity, I can sense that much."

"Oh! I understand.''

Alex bitterly grinned.

He couldn't help it, the scene they saw was just too breathtaking. It makes one question the line between reality and fantasy.

He would be forgiven for thinking they were stuck in another dreamland.

"It's not a dream.'' 

Silveria also voiced the same thought as Nyx after a moment of silence to observe her surrounding.

"The scenes here might make one think we are in a dream realm. However, this sense of existence, it's not something a dream realm can replicate."

Silveria fell into countless dream realms. She was sure she could tell reality from illusions.

Although it was not convincing to hear it from her, Silveria won't say something unless she has a degree of confidence in it and Alex knew it.

"Moreover…"

Silveria slowly closed her eyes, and a surge of silver mana spawned. She started glowing silver with magic.

"My magic power recovered."

The silver magical sheen gave her an otherworldly feel. Alex recovered and raised his arm.

His sealed magic power also started blowing up when he channeled some of it. This surge of magical power created a tiny storm in the area, and his magic power blazed like magical flames.

He only had his magic sealed for two or three days. Even so, this feeling of channeling his magic power felt nostalgic. The magical flames moved and swayed as per his directions.

This terrifying control over magic power was something only those apex beings specialized in magic can do.

His magical power control was enhanced by his powerful physics. Otherwise, he wouldn't have this kind of control unless he trained for dozens of years if not hundreds of years.

Alex wasn't the only one playing with his magic power, Silveria also channeled her magic power to check things out. After a while, the two stored their magic power back.

Next, they turned their attention toward the rainbow-colored pools near them.

"Are we really on the floor of this named dungeon?"

"I thought the treasures were on the last? Why don't I see any treasures? Why there isn't any Boss monster?'' Alex questioned.

Silveria nodded as if saying she also wanted to know but got no answer. She started drawing closer to the mesmerizing pools of various colors.

Alex shrugged before tagging along.

The pools varied by color and size. The waters were also still. The dynamic flashes of lights made for a very beautiful sight.

Alex and Silveria checked out the red pool first. It's the smallest pool. They peered into it.

The color was oddly glaring yet clear, they could see the bottom as there were no impurities in it. A magical series of lights formed a sentence when they drew closer.

'Only Master Realm expert may enter."

Alex and Silveria stepped back. They looked at the other pools with an understanding look.

They peered into the other pools.

As expected, the orange pool had a line: "Only those at the Grandmaster realm can enter.''

Yellow Pool: "Only those at the Saint realm can enter.''

Green Pool: "Only those at the Peak Saint realm can enter.''

Blue Pool: "Only those at the Demigod realm can enter.''

Indigo Pool: "Only those at the Peak Demigod realm can enter.''

The pools divided qualified participants by cultivation realms.

Only those that fit the criteria could enter. Those unqualified were barred from entry.

Alex tested this out.

He tried stepping on pools other than the green pool, namely, the red, orange, yellow, blue, and indigo pools. He could only stand on the surface. The blue pool did soak his feet when he tested the waters. This was probably the pool meant for him.

Meanwhile, Silveria could only enter the green pool.

The last pool, the largest pool of violet waters didn't give any hints when they approached it.

Naturally, Alex and Silveria were piqued by this pool.

The other pools required sufficient levels to enter.

The larger the pool, the higher the tier requirement.

If the treasures were contained in the pools then the treasures will probably also vary according to the strength of the participants.

The bigger the pools, the greater the potency of the treasures within.

What about the violet pool which didn't have any indications on it? What are the treasures contained within?

The two drew closer to the violet pool when.

Fwoosh!

The pool started shaking as the waters churned.

The couple wanted to back away when a ringing sound echoed in this magical space.

Then, much to Alex's shock, his item opened up on its own.

The portal opened very violently and hastily, it's like something's trying to burst out from within. A jet of light shot forth.

The light escaped the item box a rampaging beast that just attained its freedom. It flew towards the pool but Alex caught it in time.

It was a ring, specifically, a black ring.

"The Eternal cha... Huh! I mean the Eternal Ring!"

The two froze up. Alex quickly forgot the shot absence he had when uttering the black ring name, it seemed familiar and he was almost about to remember something unfortunately it seems that things wouldn't go in his way because in the next moment.

Fwoom ring!

The violet pool started churning harder. It was like the waters were reacting to its child being caught in the hands of a villain. The whooshing sound grew in intensity.

Alex grasped harder.

"It seems the key to opening this ring is in the violet pool…"

"Let's go!"

Silveria said without hesitation.

"No."

But Alex retorted.

The situation inside that pool was unknown, if there are no rewards other than the key for the Eternal ring then Silveria would waste her winning ticket in the named dungeon for nothing and because of this, Alex retorted.

''No, I don't need it I prefer to follow you.'' Silveria's choice was to give up on the chance to acquire more power by entering the blue pool to accompany him Alex could see the determination inside her eyes and it was no joke. 

It was why he said those harsh words next in order to convince her otherwise he was certain that she would not listen stubbornly as she was. 

''You see the weakest among my other girls is Peak Saint.'' 

Silveria froze upon hearing those words, almost as if a giant boulder was slammed on her head, her mind was buzzing due to Alex's shocking revelation so much that she tightened her fists until they bleed.

Alex's heart weakened when he saw Sylph's crestfallen expression. He grabbed her shoulders.

"Look, don't get me wrong, I never demanded my partners to keep up with me. I know you, you're going to beat yourself up if this continues, right?"

"That's one of the reasons. I know you don't mind it, but I can't stand to see you getting hurt."

Alex beamed at her after lifting her chin.

"The chance is now in front of you. It would pain me to see you give up this opportunity."

Silveria finally nodded.

She headed towards the blue pool. Before she entered the pool, she warned Alex without turning her head around.

"Be careful!''

She channeled her mana before jumping into the pool in a giant splash. She disappeared in front of Alex 

Alex sighed in relief. He also grumbled.

"Phew, I finally got through to her, I thought for sure she was going to bulldoze her way into the violet pool."

"You should be happy, your little girlfriend wants to follow you around."

Nyx chimed in.

"You have me supporting you, and you've got your power back, right? Surely, you can find a solution, so why did you shoot her down so harshly?"

"She can get the rewards here for free, doesn't make sense to turn down free goods and then pay for them from my pocket."

Alex bitterly laughed.

"Again, we don't know what will happen in that pool. It won't make any sense to bring Silveria into a place of unknown dangers.''

"Well, as long as you're fine with it."

Nyx nonchalantly replied.

"This is just as well, she can put her confidence to good use. I reckon she's going to improve rapidly after this trip. You should be careful or she might just catch up.''

"I am not one for excessive male chauvinism nor am I a fan of excessive pride.''

Alex waved his hand without minding Nyx's verbal blow.

"In any case, we grow stronger in a way foreign to Silveria's understanding. If push comes to shove, I will just challenge every powerful individual in this world to a duel. I'm not afraid of anything and I will keep growing stronger and stronger.'' 

Alex was smiling when he said those words before quickly shaking his head before looking at the sloshing violet pool. He jumped into the pool while holding the Eternal ring. As the ripples slowly settled, he disappeared into the pool.
