Death Guns In Another World



Everything happened too fast but she was still able to react.

"Return!"

Gracier broke out in cold sweat. She yelled, raised her right hand hurriedly, and flicked her fingers as if executing some sort of intricate spell. Shortly after, along with this series of actions, a red magical ritual emanated on the ground, enveloping the fire serpent. The fire serpent let out a howl and struggled in midair for a few moments, before rapidly disappearing into the air.

"Phew!"

After forcefully withdrawing the fire serpent, Gracier let out a sigh of relief. But at the moment, she wasn't entirely relieved yet because this mysterious entity's abilities were so mysterious that they were able to take in her magical spell and use it as their own. It wasn't that Sakuya hadn't encountered something similar from other monsyetq6, but she had never seen one that was so bizarre. After all, most powerful monsters had weaknesses. For instance, if they were immune to magical attacks, their physical defense would be poor. Even if they were immune to both physical and magical attacks, most of them had a conversion process. But now, this mysterious entity was so strange. Even though one couldn't judge a a powerful monster with common sense, it would still be too challenging for Gracier to take on the monster who was immune to physical and magical attacks, and so powerful that it could wipe out several powerful adventurers in a split second!

Suddenly, Sakuya had an idea of testing, she took three white scrolls from her item box and threw them up before slashing them from afar using her katanas.

Three dazzling, sacred light columns descended from heaven, enfolding the mysterious entity entirely.

"Arghhh…!"

This time, the mysterious entity finally let out an agonizing screech. It retreated desperately to avoid the holy light. Looking at this scene, Sakuya's eyes glinted with joy.

''Finally, something worked.'' 

At this thought, Sakuya ordered immediately. Upon hearing her command, the others who had the same white scrolls and ripped them apart, immediately the sacred light columns shone from above once again.

But this time, the mysterious entity's reaction astonished Sakuya. It was apparent that the mysterious entity was hurt by the Holy Light of Judgement earlier. But now, it didn't move at all. On the contrary, it hovered silently in the air as though a spirit devoid of determination. Shortly after, the three golden light columns struck the mysterious entity.

Boom!

The golden, holy light columns hit the mysterious entity accurately. But what stunned Sakuya was that this time, it didn't flee and wasn't hurt. The three golden light columns flashed past its body, before vanishing entirely. Apart from the trembling robe, it was as though nothing happened to the mysterious entity.

"Oh no!"

Even though the mysterious entity remained calm, Sakuya was startled.

"Defensive mode asap!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Sakuya's words left her, a mysterious light flashed by. In an instant, the Holy Light of Judgments that were dyed in murky colors appeared out of the thin air above the three, blasting them heavily. The three couldn't stand their ground as they swayed to the left and right, standing unsteadily on their feet. But fortunately, as powerful beings with a high level of defense, their defenses shouldn't be belittled. Besides, Sakuya's reactions were also fast. In just an instant, the protective wind barrier she deployed enveloped them and resisted the following attacks.

Something doesn't seem right.

This time, Sakuya finally realized that something was abnormal. She didn't notice earlier as the fire serpent was forcefully withdrawn by her. But now, she discovered that even though the mysterious entity reflected the magical spell that it took in, its might was much greater than the original's. The original Holy Light of Judgment was just an ordinary offensive spell, whereas, against powerful beings with high defense, it wouldn't work much if not you were from the dark side. But judging from their performance earlier, it seemed like the reflected attack inflicted a lot of damage on them. If it weren't for them who heeded Sakuya's words to activate their defensive skill, they could have been half-dead by now!

Not only is it able to reflect attacks, but it can also strengthen them.

At this thought, Sakuya couldn't help but clench her fists. She felt sweat in her palms. She had more or less figured out why this mysterious entity was immune to the Holy Light of Judgments. But if this were to continue…

However, before she came up with a solution, the mysterious entity spread its arms apart and along with this action, the books in the room emanated an odd brilliance!

It's gonna attack!

Looking at this scene. Sakuya was frozen for a moment, unconsciously she couldn't help but take half a step back and gnash her teeth. She stared as the mysterious entity raised its arms and pointed at her party. Her head was spinning.

What should I do? Continue to defend? Or take the risk and go all-out?

Swish———!

But while she was making up her mind, an arrow appeared in the air and punctured the mysterious entity's eye. The mysterious entity who was charging up its attack let out a blood-curdling shriek. It stretched out its arm and covered its eye, drifting in midair miserably.

''Get yourself together Big sister Mio and issue a proper command like a commander should.'' 

Gracier's voice rang out inside Sakuya's head, bringing her out of her stupor. She quickly shook her head to focus on the ongoing fight. 

'To think I'll momentarily lose focus and get a reminder from little Alexandra, how unsightly. Gotta get myself together.' Sakuya admonished herself but nobody is perfect. So naturally one is bound to commit mistakes sometimes no matter what you do. This is the way of life, it is like when rich people sometimes lose money almost failing before standing back strong on their feats. 

Sakuya who had regained her cool immediately acted.

''Another Holy Light of Judgment!"

Sakuya ordered and raised her arms. Along with this action, the fire serpent created by Gracier coalesced from dazzling flames and appeared once again, snapping its jaw open and soaring toward the mysterious entity. 

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like before, the Holy Light of Judgments vanished and reappeared to strike the trio. However, Gracier's fire serpent wasn't stopped this time as it sunk its teeth into the mysterious. Shortly after, a string of explosions reverberated. The scarlet flames and blazing heat waves engulfed the surroundings. The mysterious entity was caught in a difficult position, where smoke began to rise from its robe!

"I got it now!"

Looking at this scene, Sakuya's eyes glinted in a flash. She finally understood what exact trait this Boss possessed. It was apparent that even though it was able to reflect spells and be immune to physical and magical attacks, it could only deal with two of them at the same time and couldn't be immune to all three attacks at once!

That is its weakness!

"First, maintain the defensive barrier then please use your general attacks!"

At this thought, Sakuya pondered no more and gave a command. But this time, she didn't make her party unleash their mighty attacks but got them to use their general attacks instead. Through this way, they would be able to decrease the threats of the reflected attacks to the lowest. There were no rules for the three types of reflections. Sakuya's only choice now was to embrace herself and attack!

Shortly after, along with her command, the other two began their attacks. However, compared to the extravagant and vibrant attacks earlier, the attacks now seemed particularly shabby. Gracier and Pandora used their bows their proudest abilities and went along with firing ordinary arrows. Meanwhile, Sakuya no longer cast her powerful skills and was simply assaulted with the holy light. Gracier also released tiny fireballs under Sakuya's lead, while the three maintained the defensive barrier to resist the reflected attacks.

Sakuya's strategy had an immediate effect. While some attacks were reflected from time to time, they were stopped entirely as their might was already weak, to begin with. Meanwhile, the attacks that the mysterious entity wasn't immune to were blasted at full force. Although those attacks weren't strong, Sakuya's mission wasn't to defeat it, after all, but to contain it in this place instead. From the earlier tests, she discovered that this Boss didn't seem to possess any abilities other than reflecting attacks, nor did it have any proactive offensive skills. In this case, it was still possible for Sakuya to contain it!

One had to admit that this strategy from Sakuya was indeed a bother for the Boss. It did seem like it didn't possess any proactive offensive skills. Facing the weak magical spells, arrows, and even daggers hurled out by Pandora from time to time, the mysterious entity was caught in a horrible spot. This also proved that Sakuya was right about it being unable to be immune to all attacks at the same time!

However, good times didn't last long.

Just when she thought that everything was about to get on track, a low, hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears all of a sudden.

"You… are unforgivable!"

"…!"

Along with this malicious bellow, something happened.

Boom———!

The solid ground beneath Sakuya's feet cracked and ruptured with gravel scattering in all directions.
