Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 291 - 286: Another Short Break

Isabella stood there frozen for a moment after the match ended before dashing toward Artemia to check her condition.

''Just a light injury because her body couldn't bear the power of that Ninth Form. Even though this form was incomplete, to think Alex could stop it. He's not your average monster.''

After feeding Artemia a healing potion, Isabella moved toward Alex; however, just as she was about to reach him, the latter stood up and dusted his clothes.

''Fui! That headache is gone. I'm feeling a bit better now; however, I seem that I can't see with my right eye right now. I wonder how long it is going to last.''

''Huh? What is up, Isabella? Why are you silent?" Alex asked after seeing Isabella not saying anything; she was staring at him.

''Your right eye is bleeding; lets me help you. What happened to that eye?"

''No need, it will heal on its own.'' Alex stopped the incoming Isabella while at the same time thinking.

'It seems that she isn't are of what happened? Maybe I'm the only one that knows what happened? How can time stop like that?'

Touching his closed right eye, Alex thought, 'It happened because of this eye. How can such a broken ability exist? If this eye can really stop time, how strong it owner going to be? How powerful is the black gun going to be? I can't wait to unseal it.'

Isabella took a step back before saying, ''Alex, stop grinning like that; you're scaring me.''

''Hahaha! My bad, I was thinking about something. Let's wait until Artemia wakes up and get going.''

''Sure, we will do that.'' Isabella nodded before going back to Artemia's side; the latter was placed inside a small tent to avoid heatstroke in this hot environment.

While temporarily put it on an eye patch, Alex entered the tent he had just erected and asked.

'You have been silent for a while, Silveria; what are you thinking about?'

〖Nothing〗

After a moment of silence, Silveria answered.

'I can't force if you do not wish to talk about it. By the way, you must know what happened? Did my right eye stopped time?'

〖Yeah, it stopped time, even though it was for one second, it was undoubtedly your right eye the responsible. I never thought Big sister would have lent you help.〗

'Hoh? So it's thanks to your Big sister I was able to use that ability?' Alex couldn't help but get curious when he heard Silveria's explanation.

〖Yeah it was because of her. If not, you can't use this ability yet. She gives you a helping hand; it's so unlike her. I wonder what she is thinking? Well, all I can say is that she thinks highly of you, even more than how previous Master.〗

'I see, I'm outstanding; that must be why she is smart, unlike some dumb girl who shows no respect for this great me. Your Big sister must be a nice person; she's better than you, you foul-mouthed spirit.' Alex said and waited for Silveria's response.

It didn't take long for Silveria to respond; she was fuming.

〖Humph! What do you know? I'm better.〗

'Yeah! Yeah! You're.' Alex said, disinterested. He then asked Silveria a question.

'I guess I won't be using this ability soon?'

〖Obviously you will not. However, I believe you can after unsealing, sister.〗

Alex breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Silveria's response; he then asked her another question.

'How long my right eye will be unusable for?'

〖Don't worry, it will be back before you face that skeleton.〗Silveria reassured Alex as she knew what her master was most afraid of, not being able to use all his cards in the incoming fight against that Elder Lich.

'If it's true, then it's good.' Alex said before closing his eyes to take a nap. Previously he didn't show it, but he was tired. His headache might have gone, but he was tired physically; he didn't show it in front of Isabella, who was already busy worrying about Artemia. To add him on top of that would be unfair.

'To think she would still care about me after I outright reject her. What interesting girl.' Alex silently muttered before sleeping.

Just after Alex fell asleep, Silveria came out crouching down. She caressed her master's smooth face and said.

''Silly Master, obviously she will. You may have said not to fall in love with you but whether she followed your advice or not is up to you. Do you think after saying that, she will stop loving you? For the sake of Love, a woman can become obstinate. Let's wait and see how things will progress.''

Silveria's eyes pierced through the tent Artemia and Isabella were sharing; she observed the still sleeping Artemia for a moment before moving toward Isabella; the latter seemed concerned about something, seeing her seek peak in the direction of Alex's tent, Silveria laughed.

''If she survives and keeps progressing, maybe one day you will be the one chasing after her.''

Leaving these words behind, Silveria disappeared. While Isabella wasn't beautiful as Maria and others, she was not far from them; Silveria believes that she will become more beautiful as time passes and grows stronger.

Back in her dimension, Silveria sat on a silver throne, legs crossed, she said.

''Big sister, do you feel it too? Something is about to happen. It concerns our master. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it will be soon. I started to have this feeling for a while. I hope it won't be anything drastic.''

There was a long silence before someone responded; it was a voice so cold and emotionless that it could immediately alter reality.

'I feel it too. Someone is targeting him. I don't know the specifics, but they are after him. I'm preparing something.'

Silveria grinned when she heard; she couldn't wait to see what her sister has prepared.

Two hours later, the group woke up and was ready to depart.

En route, Artemia kept staring at Alex like a curious child.

Feeling uncomfortable, Alex was forced to ask.

''Go ahead, ask anyway.''

Smiling sweetly, Artemia asked, ''What was that ability? Time stop?"

Artemia secretly whispered her question.

Shrugging his shoulders, Alex said, ''If I tell that even myself don't know will you believe in me?"

''Answering a question with a question; Forget it, Tell me when you will be ready.''

''Sure I will,'' Alex replied.

Isabella on the side watched the two whispered to each other; she wondered what they are talking about.

'It's none of my concern what they are talking about. I need to get stronger, really strong.' She mumbled.
