Death Guns In Another World

A/N: Yay! 700th chapter, thank you all my readers; the adventure continues, the final story will begin soon. We will see if your MC will succeed or die trying.

°°°°°°°

Silence permeated through the underground training room after the trio's defeat.

''5 minutes forty-two seconds!" Alice declared; the others looked at her with an odd smile wondering why she did that.

Before they could open their mouth, Alice added with her signature expressionless face.

''I hope the last group will last longer.''

Most of those who had not gone down to fight felt like slapping her, but in the end, they still managed to control themselves.

''The next group will be Maria, Sakuya, and Artemia,'' Alex announced, and the three exchanged looks before heading down; they were surprised to be put into the same group. They wondered why Alex them together; it was because of their affinities?

Sera, the temporary referee, nodded in acknowledgment, urging the three to get on top of the new platform quickly; the previous one was destroyed during the exchange between Alex and Leon, they switched to a new platform, it was possible to change to another after the current one got destroyed.

Maria, Sakuya, and the third princess stood on the platform opposite Alex; nobody said anything for fifteen seconds before the princess opened her mouth and declared.

''We will not go down so easily.'' The other two nodded their heads upon hearing Artemia's declaration. Alex chuckled in response and readied his knives.

Fwoosh!

Suddenly, without warning, Artemia fired a lightning bolt at Alex; the timing was perfect, it happened right after she said those words, nobody saw her fingers moving, even Alex, who was alert, didn't see anything. Fortunately, he now had a defensive gift capable of acting independently.

The chain tattoo on his right arm wriggled and came to life; it immediately formed a small shield that blocked the lightning bolt.

Artemia's face didn't even twitch. Seeing this she mumbled as though she was testing something.

''As expected, this chain could nullify any element; normal as a conductor, you should have been electrocuted when the lightning bolt touched your chain, but nothing happened. I have noticed in the previous fight that your chain seemed to be isolated from this world; no matter what kind of attack it will receive, it would not be damaged nor affected. What a nice weapon; I'm curious about its real identity.'' Artemia's explanation made everyone's eyes get focused on the black chain around Alex's right wrist.

As sentient, the tip of the black chain danced in the air as though happy to be praised; Alex and the others were shocked by its reaction.

''Hahahaha! Let's continue; talking will not count as you lasting more than Leon's group.'' Alex teased.

Leon's group burst into laughter upon hearing Alex's words; Maria glared at Kuina as she felt like she was taunting her to do better than her.

Alex didn't dare to underestimate this group as they were powerful.

''Shukuchi!"

Sakuya mumbled and reappeared fifteen meters behind Alex with one of her hands on the hilt of her katana, which was lowered. Alex felt a sharp sword intent locking into him; it was so sharp that his skin tingled on its contact.

He did not doubt that if he were to take one step forward, he would be attacked from all directions; even though he was confident in his speed, it was her territory, she was almost master on this domain, the master who dictated the rules, the one that makes the rules.

Even so, Alex took that step forward; he wanted to see how fast and sharp Sakuya's sword had become; after all, experiencing it was better than a theory. The moment he took that step, he frowned because he was overwhelmed by a terrific sword intent.

At the same time, Sakuya winked at the others to tell them to wait for two minutes; she wanted to show him how fast, how sharp her katana had become.

''Su!"

Taking a deep breath, the hand holding the sword's hilt tightened around it before she unsheathed the blade; no sound was emitted; it was fast, way to fast.

Dozens of sword rays shot at Alex from all directions; he closed his eyes before opening them again; they shone with two distinct colors, green and blue, then he moved.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Alex predicted every slash and blocked them with either his knife reaper or his right arm wrapped in the black chain. Sakuya's eyes narrowed, and she increased the number of her slash, forcing Alex to use one of the skills he had not used in a while.

[Envisage]

He cast the skill, and in the next second he stepped to the right, two consecutive strikes were missed landing on the ground, Alex accel-ed leaving a blur behind as he crossed the distance between him and Sakuya in an instant, he slashed with his knife, his strike was so fast that it gave the illusion that five different strikes were coming toward her. Sakuya snorted, and just as she was about to deal with Alex's strike, she froze because at that moment, she made a mistake to lock eyes with Alex. The latter happened to be using one of his eyes skills, the one capable of putting you under an illusion because he rarely used it; people had forgotten about it.

His right eye shone, and Sakuya was immediately put into a trance-like state. Everything happened too fast, giving her no time to counterattack, and because the other two were following her words, they were late to react; by the time they noticed it was already too late, she was already under the skill's effect.

Inside the illusion created by Alex, Sakuya felt a suffocating presence; Alex's knife lengthened like a Rambo military knife; this knife emitted the presence of a king Cobra pouncing on its prey, using this knife he attacked.

There was no way Sakuya would dare receive the attack as she shifted her footsteps, wanting to dodge to the side.

Unexpectedly, her vision blurred, and a tall figure had already arrived in front of her, exuding a terrifying might and endless killing intent!

He had arrived almost at the same time as the knife!

"How fast!"

Sakuya's eyelids twitched crazily.

Boom!

Arriving before Sakuya, Alex released all of his strength and stomped heavily on the ground.

Instantly, Sakuya's legs buckled, and she slowed down.

The knife pierced through her body before she knew it; her eyes widened in horror.
