Death Guns In Another World

Back to Alex's location.

He was still sinking into the Stryrix River; however, something seemed to have covered his body, cloaking it. More than half of his heart was restored, the hole in his chest was half-closed. Still, Silveria could not come, but she calmed down after noticing what was happening inside Alex's body. She decided to wait for his return calmly.

Meanwhile, inside the void, Alex didn't know how much time had passed; maybe it was only one minute, two or four hours, maybe even a year had passed; still, it doesn't matter as he had lost track of time. Inside this void, this endless darkness, the only thing that mattered was his goal to train.

At first, he failed because he believed he was just a mass without shape but soon found out that he had a body; although a bit transparent, it was still a body. So, Alex moved on to the next step, creating Silveria; it was easy; after creating Silveria and doing a few tests, he began his training.

He would fire into the darkness and Accel, where the bullet would end up and block it with another bullet; he did this several times. This exercise had one purpose, which was to let him react faster. Bullets move faster than swords; if he could perfectly deal with his bullets before they reach him, then he would be able to deal with swords and other weapons perfectly.

After training for some time, his reaction speed had become faster he could see it, Alex decided to switch to another exercise. Because he was able to create Silveria, he thought that this void might be his consciousness, if it's true, then he could do anything here, to test this theory, Alex wished for another Alex to appear, and it worked, however, the price for this was his body turning more transparent. Still, he didn't mind as he now had a training partner.

The two Alex moved, armed with their guns, they danced.

BANG!

With one shot, two bullets tore through the void to arrive before Alex; it was so fast usually Alex shouldn't be able to deal with them; however, Alex's ingenuity led him to deal with the situation perfectly. First, he poured mana into the Sleipnir, green light covered his feet, and at the same time, Alex used Time Acceleration on himself. Something astonishing happened just as the bullet was about to touch Alex's face; he drifted back, leaving an afterimage behind; it was how he escaped the two bullets. If the second Alex had consciousness, he would have been shocked, and his eyes would have widened. Unfortunately, he didn't have it; it was just a projection.

Bang!

Alex counterattacked by firing against the bullet which had lost its target; four bullets clashed and burst, creating a small firework in the dark abyss.

The two moved around and fought nonstop; they used the same technique; Alex could perfect his new evasion technique, he temporarily called it: Drifter.

The two continued to fight; Alex created another two techniques called Meteor Bullet, Meteor for short. Alex combined his high dexterity with Time Acceleration to shoot dozen of bullets in one round. The second technique he created was Time Decay Bullet or Rust Bullet. He didn't dare to use this bullet on himself when by mistake, it slightly touched his illusionary clone on the thigh; Alex almost disappeared, his body became transparent.

''That was dangerous.'' He mumbled and stared at his training partner disappear; however, he was happy; he had gained a few things. He needs to meditate; just as Alex thought this, his transparent body shook, and he felt something calling him, his transparent, which he finally understood was his soul was dragged out of the void, the destination probably his body. Alex closed his eyes and waited to go back and join the other while not forgetting to pay back Priscilla.

••••••

Outside, unknowingly two days had passed; after some preparations, Lilith and Sakuya moved sneakily to arrive before a mountain located deep into the forest on the west side of Athens. It was where the dungeon was. The reason for the girls to not immediately go into the dungeon was because they knew that the security must be pretty tight due to Lilith escaping the underground hell prison; most people would have thought that she would immediately go into the dungeon and would wait for her; unfortunately, Lilith did the opposite of what most people thought. And the second reason for their patience was because they hoped Alex would join them for the three to enter; unfortunately, until now, he didn't show up, so they decided to go ahead as they believed that he would join them later.

''Is that the dungeon entrance?" Sakuya said and pointed at the cave-like entrance she was seeing from her hiding place, Lilith nodded, and Sakuya pursued her lips together; somehow, this dungeon gave a low-level dungeon feeling; however, Sakuya knew better than anybody not judge a book by its cover. This is the Demon's Goddess Dungeon; after all, rumor has it that she built it herself, but it was soon denied as not even God could create one, this dungeon used to be her training ground and later her grave.

'How interesting.'

Sakuya thought and glanced at the girl beside her; she had no idea who she was, shaking her head; Sakuya calmly watched the twelve imperial guards guarding the entrance and smiled; they are sure well prepared, she thought. The duo calmly waited until night descended and embraced the lands in its arms to let it rest.

Lilith and Sakuya moved after swallowing a special bullet Alex had given them, the Vanishing Bullet; as the name suggested, it can let you conceal your present for a short time, two minutes.

The girls passed through the twelve imperial guards undetected.

At the same time as they entered, Alex woke up, the water rippled outward, and he shot out of the water and grabbed the neck of the imperial guard floating above the water.

Crack!

The unfortunate demon had his neck cracked, and he dropped dead into the water.. After killing the guard, Alex stared in a certain direction before vanishing.
