Death Guns In Another World

Artemia turned to face him and asked.

''How did you do it?"

Alex chuckled. It seemed that the princess was curious as well. However, she suppressed her curiosity and let them finish the monsters before asking him how he killed five goblins with only one bullet.

Isabella approached them as she was curious about what happened.

''It's a secret.'' Alex declared after a moment of silence.

Isabella looked disappointed while Artemia pouted. Alex was so surprised to see such a reaction from Artemia that he burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, he finally explained.

''My bad, I just used a special bullet. I called it: Homing bullet. It has the ability to track its target. That's all I can say.''

''I see that's some awesome ability. How envious.'' Artemia said she didn't ask more about the Homing bullet remaining ability.

Isabella stayed silent as well. Looking at their reactions, Alex was pleased that they didn't ask more. There was a reason for his action; it was to establish trust between them. He sincerely wishes to have a good relationship with this princess; in the long run, it will be helpful.

''Let's take a break. I think the next floor going to be troublesome to deal with. There is a trap near the door leading down to the fifth floor.'' Alex announced as he sat down on the cold floor.

Artemia's eyes became wide open before she smiled after exchanging a look with Isabella, who should act as a scout as she possesses a certain amount of skills.

While taking a seat next to Alex, Artemia praised before suggesting.

''I didn't think you have the skill to be a scout as well. Well, I won't ask how you know that there's a trap ahead, but I would like to assist us later in detecting traps. This would help alleviate Isabella's burdens.''

''I understand. I will help as much I can.'' Alex said while recalling how surprised he was after seeing that his Divine Sense worked inside the dungeon. He had thought it wouldn't have worked. Not only it worked, but it also showed him if there was a trap ahead or not. It would have been great if he could scan the whole floor. Well, it's living creature nature to ask for more when it has a little.

Shaking his head, Alex took out stuff such as water bottles and sandwiches from his item box and handed them around. The girls accepted and gave their thanks before eating the sandwiches.

After they were done, Artemia ordered Isabella to bring out the dessert, and the three shared it.

It took them 20 minutes to successfully release the trap blocking the way. Isabella handled such a task; Alex watched like a good student, trying to learn the much he could.

The three moved toward the fifth floor, however, this time with a different formation. Alex acted as the vanguard; Artemia became the midguard while Isabella was at the rear. They decided to use this formation because of Alex's skill. Artemia had figured out more or less about his divine sense, so they decided to make use of it, especially on this floor where they may be a Boss awaiting them.

Alex and the others went down the stairs and safely entered the fifth floor of the dungeon.

However, when Alex took his first step on the fifth floor, he reflexively swung Razor his custom-made knife.

'!?'

At the same time, Artemia used one of her glaives to repel something that flew towards her.

Looking at the thing that wrapped around his knife, Alex clicked his tongue. It was a spider thread coming from the ceiling.

''What intense welcome.'' He couldn't help, but joke about their current situation attacked the moment they entered here.

Lifting their heads to look at the ceiling, they saw a big spider with eight legs, more than twenty eyes coldly staring at them.

''Is that the Boss?" Isabella asked to receive a negative response soon as she finished asking.

''You should look around you first,'' Alex suggested.

When Isabella looked around, she was forced to shout, almost jumping back because not too far from them appeared monsters. They were bigger than a human face and had green scales covering their hands and feet. Lizardmen.

Armed with bows, swords, and spears, they glared at Isabella with hostility as if looking at prey.

''Alex, you do something about the spider. If possible, it would be great if you could finish that quickly and come to help us as soon as possible.'' Artemia instructed, unlike Isabella, who was too focused on the spider just after they received an attack; she noticed these lizardmen sneak out, trying to surround them.

Alex nodded at Artemia's words. The latter had already made a move. She threw one of her glaives toward the lizardmen; this move caught them off guard. Like a whip, the glaive twisted around and tore through the air like a bullet, injuring numerous lizardmen before insta killing the lizardman that held a bow at the back and was about to shoot; Isabella shot forward to give Artemia some assistance; the latter had called back her glaive.

If not for the fact that he had noticed a faint thread like a chain the first time he saw Artemia's Gift, he would have been surprised seeing what her weapon just did.

Even while watching the situation from the side, Alex wasn't idling; he pulled on the thread that had twisted itself around the Razor to drag the spider down from the ceiling. As if understanding what would happen if it fell, the spider desperately resisted as it pierced its legs into the ceiling.

This amused Alex. Therefore he decided to put more force into his arms; his physical strength wasn't something this spider could hope to compete against. Soon, the spider was forcedly dragged down, producing a loud bang that sent a shockwave rippling forward. Numerous lizardmen fell onto the ground due to the powerful shockwave.

Artemia looked at Alex with a look of gratitude before continuing to mow down the lizardmen who had failed into confusion.

On the other side, Alex was finally going to make a move to deal with the spider.
