Death Guns In Another World

While Maggie was going on a rampage, in another location Alex who was fighting Lars let two women join in, their identities are a bit special. Someone with Angel's blood and the second has a demon's blood, they are sisters, Alex's elite squad in this world.

Celia raised her sword and deflected the incoming bone spears. On the other side, Celestina lifted her hands before her and released countless thorn whips from her sleeves to form a solid barrier. Lars widened his eyes in horror. He had heard that this young overlord possessed strange abilities. But witnessing this scene personally still left him frightened. It was especially so after he spotted the pair of wings behind Celestina and Celia. He suspected that this was just an omen of the blurred vision of his old self, but he swore that he had never seen an Angel and Demon battling alongside each other.

But now…

He retreated immediately. He sensed the powerful aggression from the two young ladies. He had been gravely injured and couldn't possibly put up a fight against them.

At this moment, he had made up his mind to protect his life and flee from this place. Shortly after, the surrounding Skeleton Guards rushed forward. Even though their heavy armor had slowed down their movements, their strength shouldn't be belittled.

"Hmph!"

Celia let out a snort. As a Valkyrie with an angel's bloodline, she had no lack of experience in dealing with Undead Creatures and knew what she should do. She sulked and laid her sword before her with both hands clutching to the sword hilt.

At this moment, one of the Skeleton Guards struck its blade down.

Clang!

The blades clashed and let out a deep sound of collision. Celia shook slightly and took a step forward swiftly. She slashed her sword sideways, hacked into the Skeleton Guard's body, and released holy powers that devoured it entirely.

"You lowly, shameful Undead Creatures even dare to stop me?!"

On the other side, Celestina was unwilling to fall behind. Even though she wore a dark, tight dress that restricted her movements like Celia's armor, she quickly proved that the Skeleton Guards were nothing more than worthless trash with her unique combat skills.

Shing!

Celestina released several pitch-black long whips with razor-sharp steel blades from her sleeves, which whistled across the air and sliced the Skeleton Guards into half. In an instant, several bodies, skulls, and limbs flew up high.

'Oh my goodness!'

Lars shivered at this ghastly sight. Just this move from Celestina was enough for him to sense their legendary powers.

'Damn it. Aren't they summoned by that young overlord? What kind of Human can summon beings in the demigod realms? Moreover, they're Angel and Demon…! '

Lars came to an abrupt halt, turned around, and lifted his right hand. Shortly after, a mass of ice-cold air erupted beneath his feet. Sharp ice thorns struck out in all directions like blooming flower petals with Lars in the middle.

Clink!

Alex's swords clashed and slipped on the smooth, razor-sharp ice thorns. Lars opened his eyes wide and at this moment, he had given up all intentions to escape because he sharply sensed that the young man was the key in this situation!

'As long as I can kill him…'

Lars lifted his right hand and pointed at Alex.

Then, he chanted a curse softly. The bloomed ice thorns around him instantly spun, expanded into a huge circle in the air, and pierced Alex.

On the other hand, Alex's expression remains unchanged. He had already guessed that this would happen when he launched his attack. In all fairness, Lars had lost to him this time due to the lack of intelligence gathered. If he knew the true strength of Alex's subordinates, perhaps he wouldn't have lost so terribly. But it was a pity that he wasn't aware. And on the battlefield, intelligence warfare was also a crucial segment.

Lars had no idea about Alex at all.

"—!"

The criss-cross blade rays before Alex weaved into a dense, huge net. The ice thorns that had struck him shattered and dispersed instantly. Lars hurriedly waved his arms in preparation to cast another magic spell. Then, at this moment, scarlet flames exploded.

A monster made of flame emerged out of nowhere. The blistering scarlet flames on its body melted the fluttering ice fragments in the air and turned them into droplets, which eventually evaporated. At the same time, the monster made of flame leaped into the air with its widened jaws!

"Aah!"

Lars finally couldn't keep his cool any longer. He let out a snarl and the pitch-black ring on his finger erupted in an unprecedented, glaring lightning flash as though an artillery shell had just been blasted. The dazzling beam struck the monster and blasted it into the mass of Skeleton Guards. But shortly after, a scorching flame pillar rushed into the sky in an ear-deafening explosion. Then, Lars witnessed several Skeleton Guards flying upward and getting completely devoured by the flames.

Ssss—!

Lars sucked in a deep breath of cold air.

It had been centuries since he had given up his life to become a Necromancer, but he had never seen such strange battle tactics and summoned creatures. If he hadn't blasted that self-exploding creature far away, perhaps he would have been dead by now.

Lars gazed around him and realized that none of the Skeleton Guards existed. He looked into the distance and found all his 50,000 Undead Creatures enveloped in wild, sacred flames. Not only that, but he had also sensed unprecedented, intense holy powers from the enormous ritual hovering above him. Is everything the doing of that little girl?

This thought flashed in his head for a mere second. He didn't have much time to ponder this question anymore because three figures had struck toward him in the sound of the shattered ice thorns.

Celia clasped her sword with an unwavering expression and charged forward like a war chariot. Everything that obstructed her silver-whitish, sacred flames and holy white wings were shattered into filthy dust. On the other hand, Celestina had expanded her bat-like wings majestically and flew over nimbly. The chain sword in her hands spun and trembled non-stop before eventually transforming into a viper that slithered with its wide-opened poisonous fangs.

"!!"

Lars took a step back hurriedly. He had no time to weigh the pros and cons of the situation anymore. He had just used up the only amulet and he wouldn't face any fortunate consequences no matter if he ended up in the hands of the Angel or Demon. But now, he only had one last chance!

He turned around and pounced at Alex. The latter was ready for this. Secretly activating his domain after using his skill Envisage to see the next seconds of Lars's attack, everything was ready.

Unknown if it was due to Lars's desire to survive, he unleashed extraordinary strength. He was only two arms away from Alex now.

Lars let out a grim laugh and extended his arms.

But at the next moment, Alex pierced two swords into Lars's body.

"Wahahahaha!"

He wasn't feeling afraid or regretful. Instead, he was wild with joy.

But Lars wouldn't allow Alex to come up with a response.

A dense mass of dark energy spurted out from his body and locked onto Alex's swords and arms like fetters and handcuffs. At the same time, Lars aimed for Alex's skull and struck out his hands.

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Celia and Celestina shrieked in horror. They might be quick, but Lars was one step ahead. The difference of this one step was the distance between heaven and earth. The two young ladies watched helplessly as Lars's shriveled, sharp fingertips struck out at Alex's skull. The strength of Undead Creatures had nothing to do with their class as they weren't Humans. A Necromancer's strength wasn't anywhere weaker than a sturdy, muscular Swordsman. However, it was their skinny stature that made them look extremely weak.

But… such a misconception could be deadly at times.

And sometimes it wouldn't.

"…"

Lars's fingertips were just a few inches away from seizing Alex's life. But, he couldn't move any farther.

"What… What did you do?!"

This was the first time that the eyes filled with spiritual flames of death emerged with absolute fear. The reason was simple. He couldn't control his body at all as though a powerful, unquestionable external force had snatched his soul.

Lars realized that something was emanating a faint radiance from Alex's collar.

"Hehehehe that's a secret."

Alex lifted his hand. The dark energy binding his arms shrunk and returned to Lars's body.

Then, he noticed an azure ball in Alex's hand which didn't exist before. Not only that, but it also trembled and pumped like a heart.

"You… You…"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you that easily."

Alex toyed with the ball in his hand and sheathed his weapon. Lars stood on the spot like a puppet, but judging from his widely opened eyes and trembling voice, it was apparent that it wasn't due to Alex's face that he was mesmerized and didn't leave instantly.

"You're still useful to me," Alex said.

The beautiful, twinkling stars and round, silver moon hanging in the sky cracked in an instant with snowy radiance spilling through and shining even brighter as though responding to a calling. Shortly after, a storm arose again and everyone shut their eyes. When they opened their eyes, the boundless prairie and river had disappeared to nowhere and were replaced by the silent mountainous range and valleys. However, the remains of the Undead Army and traces of battles reminded them of the brutal war that had taken place.

"Everything seems to have ended… for now."

Alex let out a sigh. He lifted his head and gazed into the horizon.

The sky was turning bright in the east.

A new morning arrived.
