Death Guns In Another World

~Back to Alex's location.

In the middle of this beautiful garden was a table and sitting around this table was a beautiful woman.

Nyx's black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and some of it fluttered in the air. She sat and seemed to have blended with nature. She was silent not saying a word when she suddenly opened her small mouth and sighed.

''That foolish sister of mine didn't make use of this opportunity. Who knows how strong he would have become if she took the initiative.'' 

If Silveria were to hear her sister's words she would have flipped over and fought Nyx even if she couldn't win. 

Only Nyx knew what she was planning by saying those words. 

''Well, things will solely unfold, there's no need to intervene. As the saying goes back

in days, let nature take its course.'' She added before vanishing. 

°°°

In a certain forest, two individuals were walking slowly through it.

The forest was large, compact, and flourishing. Its canopy was reigned by fir, spruce, and cypress, their crowns allowed cascading lights to shimmer through for a hodgepodge of bushes to monopolize the thick layer of leaves below.

Thin climbing plants dangled from most trees, and a hodgepodge of flowers, which grew all over the place, added some color to the otherwise jade backdrop.

A mixture of sounds, which were caused by birds and insects, added life to the forest and added to the sounds of the occasional sounds of birds of prey gliding in the air.

Silveria had suggested taking a stroll alongside Alex, she desired to fight in her humahumanm.

While this could consume a little more of his mana Alex didn't mind.

The two explored the forest but strangely did not encounter any monsmonstersif today the monsters were on holiday.

The duo arrived at a different location, there was a river in the distance. Suddenly they heard a cry, a baby cry to be more precise.

''Could it be an abandoned baby?" Silveria wondered with a frown. Why would any normal children be left here? She had heard that in the past, some people abandoned young children in places such as the reeds. She moved aside the dense reeds and carefully searched for the child.

Suddenly, a ferocious mouth shot out from the reeds, trying to bite her.

Everything happened too fast and without warning. None of them felt any presence beforehand.

"Be careful!" Alex exclaimed while trying to save her.

Naturally, Silveria wasn't so naive and innocent. She had long since been prepared. When it was about to reach her, she kicked off the ground and drifted into the distance, avoiding the deadly attack. Alex's attacks arrived soon afterward. The vicious mouth evaded them, but in doing so stood up, allowing them to finally see what it looked like.

It wasn't just a single ferocious mouth; rather, there were nine of them. The creature had nine heads, and its body was that of a large snake.

[Nine Infants Hydra LV 200]

Even though it was a bit smaller than the Nine Hydra he saw in Exodus, its body paired with its nine writhing heads made it look frightening. The nine-headed monster roared furiously at the people who had attacked it.

The duo finally realized where the baby's cries had come from. That was the noise the creature made! No wonder its name was 'Nine Infants Hydra'!

''Wow! What a funny-looking monster.'' Silveria mocked and Alex laughed.

The Nine Infants Hydra became somewhat angry. Even after they beheld its dignified body, these insignificant humans didn't seem to show any fear at all, instead talking cheerfully to each other.

One of its heads suddenly opened its mouth. A water bolt shot out of it, flying toward the group like a blast from a high-pressure water gun. The duo quickly evaded it, but the bolt left a deep crater in the space where they had been standing.

Alex snorted. He didn't stop, attacking with his special custom-made throwing knives nicknamed Reaper (A/N: The one he got from Elseria in Eris' city while she was under another pseudonym: Leena), using Lightning Degree on the Reapers to make their fast yet deadly. However, several of the Nine Infants Hydra's heads shot water from their mouths, blasting his knives away. The water bolts were like densely packed bullets, leaving behind countless deep pockmarks on the shore.

Soon, however, the monster switched to shooting thin lines of water instead; wherever they passed, they could even silently cut the sturdiest stones in half.

Under the concentrated barrage of attacks, Alex was forced to defend with the Reapers. However, that also meant he had no chance to retaliate for the time being.

Inwardly he was shocked. It was always said that water had unparalleled flexibility, but also held the greatest power. He had seen the power of water blades that could cut through steel like butter in some videos from his previous world. He hadn't expected to see such a thing again today.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and snowflakes swirled through the air. It was clear that Silveria had finally gotten serious. She couldn't cut off the flow of mana on the monster making it unable to use any skills or elements meaning this monster was using both the mana system and the Chaos system, It was the only plausible explanation for her constant failure Still Silveria wasn't discouraged because this made this fight more fun. 

She created a sword and unleashed an Ice sword attack. Naturally, Ice-type attacks are the counter to Water-type attacks.

The water bolts the Nine Infants Hydra released were instantly frozen solid, weakening them significantly. Silveria's sword's cold energy even followed along the water trails that came out of the Nine Infants Hydra's mouths, freezing them up to the monster's snake tongues.

Alex watched in admiration. As expected this woman is strong, too bad she couldn't stay too long outside when it comes to fighting.

Two of the heads were about to freeze, but suddenly, the Nine Infants Hydra's other heads spat out streams of flame that instantly melted the ice.

"It can use fire and water?" The duo exclaimed. 

However, the monster didn't give them any chance for a reprieve. The nine heads each found different targets, continuing to attack all of them at once.

Silveria and Alex weren't affected as they kept attacking repeatedly, destroying the monster's head.

The Nine Infants Hydra continued to rock back and forth. Then, new flesh began to form around the spot where its head had been destroyed. After that, a new snake head began growing rapidly. Apart from the color being a bit lighter, it was the same as the previous head!

As the Nine Infants Hydra recovered, its expression became even more malicious. It screamed at them angrily in an infant's voice. Even though it sounded somewhat ridiculous, its body gave off extreme pressure, and its nine malevolent snake heads were no laughing matter.

The new snake head fired a wave of flames at Alex. It clearly remembered who had smashed it to pieces earlier. Meanwhile, the other snake heads also coordinated their attacks. Blazing flames swept forth, cutting off his path of retreat.

'This guy even knows how to create a crossfire net?' Alex was amused. Since there was nowhere to evade, he decided he wasn't going to. He used his temporal ability to slow down time before easily dodging.

The Nine Infants Hydra became enraged. The other snake heads turned around and sucked in a large amount of water, before spitting them out in a hail of water bolts. 

Unfortunately, it couldn't deal any damage to Alex and Silveria, this enraged the beast and attacked viciously. 

Both Alex and Silveria exchanged a glance and understood each other intention. They decided to play this beast to death. 

You can regenerate indefinitely, right? Let's see how tough you are and how long you keep up.

Soon, another snake head was removed, followed by a second, a third, a fourth…

At first, the Nine Infants Hydra could recover quickly, but eventually, it couldn't take it anymore, recovering more and more slowly. One snake head couldn't recover at all, and a constant trickle of blood streamed out of it.

The monster no longer looked as sinister and malicious as before. Rather, it showed a bit of fear as it looked at the group. It thought to itself, Where did these crazy humans come from? 

It realized that it could end up in a bad position if it continued to fight, so it sought out a chance to flee into the ferocious river. Even though the duo tried to cut it off, the river was too large, so they couldn't fully seal it off. As such, they could only watch as it escaped. That was the monster before Silveria finally turned into her gun's form and Alex unleashed a powerful special Ice bullet, freezing more than half of the river thus sealing the monster into ice. 

The Nine Infants Hydra struggled to free itself but failed miserably. Alex disappeared to reappear before the sealed monster and aimed a black gun at it. 

The monster felt death closing in upon seeing the black gun. No matter what happened it would die the Nine Infants Hydra knew it. 

''The End!" 

Bang! 

A gunshot rang out and a powerful monster was eradicated just like that. It should have been an immortal monster in its turf but there is no immortal before the Goddess of Death.

''Boring!" 

Silveria who had returned to her human form mumbled in dissatisfaction but Alex simply rolled his eyes at her because he understood the reason for this behavior. She was jealous that Alex used her sister instead of her to deal the final blow.
