Death Guns In Another World

Once all preparations were confirmed, Alex motioned for the group behind him to proceed. With a simple gesture, everyone immediately readied themselves to move out. Margareth and Lisa, though not as skilled as elite players, were fully prepared to contribute to the upcoming battle.

"Let's do this!"

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Alex shouted his command.

With a swift motion, magical symbols of intricate beauty emerged from the ground behind Alex's group. These symbols spun and extended throughout the Dali Kingdom Palace, interconnecting with each other. In a soft clang, the white fog that had shrouded the palace suddenly dissipated, revealing the true form of the door to all.

Simultaneously, one of the mages behind Alex raised a white staff that emitted a brilliant flash of light. Within moments, a meteor descended from the sky, crashing forcefully into the door. With a loud bang, the heavy door shattered into countless fragments. Before the smoke had a chance to dissipate, Alex transformed into a beam of spiritual light and darted into the garden. Suddenly, a hoarse voice reached his ears.

"Who dares to intrude? Who has dared to destroy my palace? You fools! You shall pay the price!"

As the voice echoed, Alex had already led his group charging into the fog. The true form of the Chaos Lord, seated in the garden, was now revealed. The Chaos Lord possessed a naked upper body that stretched dozens of meters, while her lower body resembled that of a gigantic spider.

[Chaos Lord Arachne Julia Level 209] was written above the monster's head.

A sense of relief washed over Alex as he laid eyes on the familiar form of the Chaos Lord. He had encountered countless monsters similar to this one in the past.

Julia, taken aback, opened her mouth wide and spewed out a white spider silk that transformed into an all-encompassing web, ensnaring everyone within its grasp.

"Firewalls, everyone!" Alex commanded.

Once caught in the web, it would be difficult to break free. However, Alex was no stranger to facing creatures like this. Without hesitation, he threw a card into the air, summoning the hellhound in a blaze of hellish fire. With a mighty howl, the hellhound charged head-first into the spiderweb, self-destructing in a burst of flames that burned holes through the web. Meanwhile, the mages around Alex chanted their spells, summoning walls and balls of flame that formed a scorching barrier, incinerating the spiderweb in an instant.

"You won't get away with this. Don't even try!" Julia snarled bitterly, her attacks halted so easily. She extended her arms and clawed at the intruders. However, Alex raised his bow and two red arrows materialized on the bowstring. In a flash of scarlet radiance, accompanied by thunderous explosions, Julia, who was attacking Alex's group, let out a mournful howl and covered her eyes. Alex's spatial arrows were truly formidable.

Having thwarted Julia's attacks twice, Alex led his group to her side. The thieves brandished their daggers and scaled Julia's body like climbing a cliff. The less agile combat classes growled and raised their weapons, striking at Julia's legs and massive abdomen. The mages chanted yet another incantation, sending waves of flame crashing into her body, eliciting agonized screams. Julia flailed her arms in an attempt to halt the assault, but the head scout's attack left her completely blinded. In a moment of confusion, she spun in a fluster, while the players skillfully dodged her colossal body and launched attacks on her vulnerable spots.

As the battle raged on, one attack managed to break through the Chaos Lord's defenses. The assassin, a young lady with a transparent, razor-sharp blade, swiftly lifted the green weapon and plunged it deep into Julia's heart. The blade, as illusory as ever, pierced through the monster's flesh, causing a momentary pause in the chaos.

"Arghhhh!"

Julia's scream pierced the air as she endured the relentless assault from Alex's gang.

"You dare lay a hand on me! I shall claim your very existence! Rise, my offspring! Feast on their flesh and consume their essence!"

Amidst her menacing growls, the world trembled with the sound of rustling. In a matter of moments, a horde of venomous spiders, each as tall as a human, emerged from the undergrowth and descended upon Alex's group with ferocity.

A multitude of spiders emerged from every direction, engulfing Alex and his companions in an instant. A monstrous spider, trembling and emitting a chilling squeak, loomed before them, causing their scalps to numb with fear. The sheer presence of this arachnid swarm would undoubtedly spell a dire outcome for anyone caught off guard. However, the group had already prepared themselves upon uncovering the true identity of their formidable adversary. Though the Chaos Lord may not unleash skills as frequently as a Boss of Light, everyone was well aware of its unique abilities.

In that critical moment, as the spiders surged forward, the players swiftly reacted.

"Blossom!" Alice's voice thundered as she raised her right arm. A magnificent crimson magical circle materialized beneath their feet. The spiders unfortunate enough to step upon it emitted agonizing screeches. Their massive bodies wavered and collapsed to the ground, rapidly withering away. In the blink of an eye, the once formidable spiders with their plump bodies shrunk like deflated balloons, transforming into piles of desiccated and decomposed corpses.

While Alex engaged in her own assault, Alex wasted no time. As soon as he laid eyes on the advancing spiders, he instinctively took two steps back, readying himself for what lay ahead.

"Halt!" Alex commanded, wielding the power of the Ice Element with the force of a Dragon's tongue.

A powerful blast of frigid, azure wind swept through the desolate landscape, instantly turning the ground into a frozen wasteland. The towering spiders and the surrounding area became encased in layers upon layers of glistening frost. But that was not all; ethereal crystals materialized in the air, one by one, crystallizing the spiders in their icy grasp. In the meantime, Alex swung his arm, while two mages at his side raised their arms in unison. Their whispered incantations caused the ground to tremble and split open. From the shattered earth, sharp stone pillars erupted into the sky, resembling the teeth of ravenous beasts tearing through the frozen spiders. With a resounding crack, the impaled arachnids were torn asunder, their severed limbs crashing to the ground like chunks of flesh.

Originally, Alex had no plans of sending either Lisa or Margareth to the front lines. However, in a sudden change of heart, he made the decision at the last possible moment.

"In the name of the Stars, heed my command!" Alex exclaimed.

Lisa, with an unwavering expression on her face, surveyed the horde of spiders before her. Levitating in the air, she brandished her gleaming silver staff and pointed it towards the enemy. Within moments, a cascade of meteorites descended from the heavens, crashing down upon the spiders in a symphony of explosions, tremors, and blinding radiance. Meanwhile, Margareth joined the assault, launching her own attack simultaneously.

"Behold!"

As she gazed upon the horde of spiders, a shiver ran down her spine. But what amazed Alex was that this terrifying sight didn't paralyze her with fear. Instead, she quickly regained her composure, reached into her cloak pockets, and retrieved several small metal spheres resembling rice balls. With a strong throw, she launched them into the distance.

Unfortunately, Margareth, who possessed little arm strength, couldn't throw the metal spheres very far. Alex anticipated that they would only land a few meters away, judging by her shaky movements. However, what happened next surpassed his wildest imagination.

Whoosh———!

The moment the metal spheres left her hand, they emitted the peculiar sound of jets. Spinning and darting through the air like failed miniature rockets, they landed directly in the midst of the spider cluster. And then, something unbelievable occurred.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted, propelling a towering column of flames into the sky. Scarlet rings rippled across the landscape, accompanied by the colossal flame column at its center. The scurrying spiders, overwhelmed by the blazing rings, were instantly obliterated. They didn't simply get blasted or burned to death, but were completely shattered. Like sand, they vanished in a puff of smoke!

"..."

Witnessing this spectacle, Alex couldn't help but raise an intrigued eyebrow. The enemy was far from weak, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction for sending them forward.
