Death Guns In Another World

While Alex was speeding toward the dungeon, Lilith and Sakuya, who had sneaked into the dungeon, soon found themselves facing an unusual situation.

''What is this?" Sakuya frowned and looked around her; it was not the green scenery that made her say this but the feeling she got after appearing in this forest. She felt restrained as if something had been removed from her body; her body became unusual. She immediately checked her status but found nothing unusual thus, she frowned.

Lilith was also frowning; unlike Sakuya, she had understood the situation; the dungeon didn't reject them but instead restricted their strength. Their Rank might have stayed the same, but Lilith was sure that she could not exhibit her true strength because of this restriction. To test this theory, Lilith decided to do a test, and coincidentally a monster happened to come out at that moment.

Sakuya was the first to move, she arrived before the Orc and slashed at its head then something unusual happened, usually considering the monster strength and Sakuya strength, a difference of 5 Rank, Sakuya should have killed it; however, the Orc blocked Sakuya's sword, this shocked her and made her stop for an instant, and in a fight, an instant of hesitation could be fatal.

''Buhi!"

The Orc emitted a war cry and tried to punch Sakuya in the stomach with its free arm; it was then Lilith's lightning came and clashed against the Orc's arm; due to the reduced strength, it did small damage, only slightly charring the monster's arm; however, it was more than enough for Sakuya who had momentarily lost focus to quickly regain it and moved, she reversed the grip of her Katana and thrust the sharp edge at the monster's neck where there was less muscle, she powered it with the Wind element turning the blade sharper, even though her strength hasn't been considerably restricted, this combo wasn't something the Orc could stop not when it was aimed at its weak point.

Sakuya's katana pierced through the monster's neck, blood spurted from the neck and tried to land on Sakuya; however, she had already moved out of the way, leaving the Orc fall to the ground with wide eyes and a large hole in its neck as if something had drilled through it.

''Seriously, what with this dungeon? It's only the first floor, and Orc already appeared, a Rank 5 to boot. The strangest thing is that my strength is restricted. You must know something, dear Lilly.'' Sakuya said and glared at her companion, who sighed and decided to tell her about the particularity of this dungeon.

''From what I heard, this dungeon can select who will enter it, and it can also restrain their strength, Rank 10 can't enter, do not ask why we were able to enter it, Sebastian had said that if it's me I can do and my companion would be able to enter it easily. When I asked him the reason for this, he simply smiled and said nothing.'' Lilith explained while looking dejected, talking about Sebastian must have awoken some unwanted memories. Sebastian was no more, remembering this must have deeply hurt her.

Knowing what she was thinking, Sakuya approached her friend and put her hand over her shoulder, and said, ''Don't worry, he believes in you don't let him done. We are here to make sure of it.''

Lilith smiled after hearing Sakuya's words, somehow she felt refreshed as if instead of losing something, she had gained something instead, new family members, this made her happy, Alex must have accepted her request because he was trying to use her, but she had the feeling that when you look past their business like a partnership, love was involved, it was not a love between man and woman but family love, she knew she could count on him if there was a problem and this made her happy. She must cherish this feeling; this bond mustn't be broken, she thought.

''If I'm not wrong, my strength has been reduced to Rank 7 or worst Rank 6, it would be hard to advance as we don't know how many floors there are.'' Sakuya said while inwardly sighing, thinking, 'If only our goddess remembered how many floors there are.'

It was because Alex shared some information with her, information about Lilith's identity and what they came to do here. For Lilith, she just wanted to deal serious damage to her brother because there was something he wanted here but was she didn't know was that this thing was something her previous self had sealed here, be recuperating it, she would be whole again, her current self isn't complete. Even her butler seemed to be aware of her identity; if not, he couldn't have suggested that she must acquire what was in the depth of this dungeon. Thinking about it, that Sebastian guy must have a deep background and an unusual identity for him to know Lilith's real identity and do everything he could for her to inherent back her power.

''Let's go,'' Sakuya said to the absentminded Lilith; the latter shook her head and followed Sakuya. If Sakuya's analysis wasn't wrong, then it meant that Sakuya's current Rank was 6 while Lilith would be Rank 7.

The two girls progressed forward; they advanced into the green forest before them and soon encountered another monster; however, this time, it was not an Orc but an Ogre, a Rank 7 Ogre.

Green light covered Sakuya's katana as she aimed at the monster's neck. Unfortunately, the Ogre was agile and dodged the blow. However, the Ogre was shocked that instead of being surprised, Sakuya smiled; it was then the Ogre remembered that the girl wasn't alone and wanted to escape. Still, it was already too late; lightning chains wrapped around its body before two dark beams robbed its sight, making the Ogre blind.

Even before the monster could scream, its head had been removed from its shoulders and danced in the sky as blood splashed the ground green ground red.. After killing the Ogre, the girls went deeper into the forest in search of the exit for the next level.
