Death Guns In Another World

While Lilith was accompanied into the Underground Hell prison by some guards, Alex, who got almost caught, resumed his adventure on the Stryrix River; the ferryman continued to row the boat forward.

Alex sat in silence; the plan was simple; after the three chose a separate direction, to let the other safely pass, Lilith would let herself get caught, she knew where she would be sent, and it was exactly where she wanted to be for the next part of the plan.

'Lucifer would have never thought that imprisoning her sister in the deepest part of the Underground Hell prison, the same place where she stayed for some time, would be the dumbest mistake he ever made.' Alex inwardly mumbled, and as if to read his thoughts, Silveria commented.

〖He must have thought that if Lilith were to be imprisoned in the Eternal Nightmare cell, she would lose her mind making it possible to control her. If he only knew, his sister wouldn't be affected anymore because she gained a counter.〗

'Well, we must focus on our goal. I think we are getting closer to where Lilith said.' Alex said and looked at the thick fog before them; unlike the last time where you could still see even if the fog, Alex was sure that after entering the fog ahead, it would be hard to control the board, but he was wrong.

''Passenger, we have already at the first interception, also known at the center of the Stryrix River, please sit tight.''

For the first time, Alex heard the ferryman's voice; it was an extremely old and throaty voice. Alex nodded and followed the ferryman's order because he learned from Lilith that passing through the first interception wasn't easy; it was like you pass through a terrible storm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment Alex's group entered the thick fog, the terrible sound of water crashing against rocks could be heard, and the board started to tremble almost as if it could break at any moment; however, the ferryman showed no sign of panic; he continued to maneuver the board amidst the terrible storms skillfully, it was as if he had perfect control over the board as if it was an extension of his body, it was interesting, Alex watched the ferryman escape every danger zone, he was like a professional skateboarder.

What seemed like an eternity passed, yet in reality, only another hour passed; the river had become calm, there was still thick fog surrounding the river, but it wasn't hard as it was a while ago.

Suddenly, the ferryman frowned, and for the second time, he spoke.

''Passenger, I think it would be hard to continue.''

Alex frowned; he immediately used his Divine Sense. He couldn't help but whistle because ahead was an unexpected visitor, an extremely strong presence, so strong that everything around her seemed to bow down in reverence, or was how strong this presence was, it was no wonder that the ferryman would say what he said. Alex gulped as they slowly approached that terrible presence.

•••••

Let rewind time to one hour. Lilith was sent to the underground hell prison-like the name suggested it was hell, it was unknown who came up with this system, maybe it was the first founder but, the Underground Hell prison was a terrible place, it was divided into eighteen layers with the first layer being the most dangerous, the first layer was called the Eternal Nightmare, Lilith was sent there but only at the outer edge, however, this time she would be placed at the center of the first layer, the most terrible place but she was not afraid.

After Alex knew the composition of this prison, he would have said it looks exactly like the eighteen layers of hell in fantasy.

The guards showed no respect for their princess as they pushed her deeper into the first layer of Hell; the boldest even kicked Lilith in the back, sending her rolling down the first floor; she fell face first.

''Cough! Cough!''

Lilith coughed before standing up on her feet; before she could scan her surrounding, an intense headache assaulted her, and it started.

Lilith's consciousness was teleported to somewhere; she found herself before her younger self; the Eternal Nightmare amplified one deepest fear and Lilith's fear what none other than the tragedy she experienced when she was a child.

She saw a peaceful, loving family, her gentle yet respected and powerful emperor, her sister, her younger brother, and mostly her strong yet most competent big brother; everything should have been perfect, but cracks started to appear, her gentle brother began to smile less and less, they should have known, but most of them thought it was because of the expectations placed upon his shoulders; however, it wasn't the case, Lucifer surnamed the Morningstar as there was a Morningstar the day he was born had changed.

He became jealous, jealously is an ugly thing because it could turn the most perfect man, the most gentle man, into a demon, it was what happened to Lucifer, one day he stood up. He killed his family with overwhelming strength; his parents and siblings couldn't believe it, but Lucifer was smiling as he slaughtered them; he left his youngest sister as if to tell her that everything was her fault; it was because of her that such a tragedy happened. Imagine the ten years old Lilith was forced to bear a sin she had never thought she thought she would bear; she never desired anything other than family peace, she never thought of competing with her brother or sister over the throne, and yet she became the sole survivor beside her brother after the latter slaughtered everyone.

The Eternal Nightmare had started working, Lilith kneeled, she was filled with nothing other than regret, but she knew she could never herself fall prey to demons from the past; if she were to do that, then it would mean that she had not learned anymore during the past years, something Lilith could never do as she had prepared for today's scenario, time to show what she had learned and completed her goal.

''Roarrrr!"
