Death Guns In Another World

At first, not many made the connection, but as time goes people began suspecting that there was something between those two but what stopped them from really doubting Alex was the fact that it was not an open secret that Alexander and Leonardo never get along, so it was nigh impossible for the two to cooperate, especially when Leonardo was one of the culprits behind his sister kidnapping back then, but the emperor knew the truth.

He knew that they existed a deal between Alex and Leonardo; as for what kind of deal it was, he could easily tell, but he could infer, whether his inference was true or not, he didn't know.

To hi,m he felt like Alex released Leonardo, letting him join the dark side as a spy. But if this was true, then comes a question. How did Alex make Leonardo his archenemy accept such a dangerous mission? Because he cut off one of his arms? It wasn't that. As one progresses, one would possess a terrifying regenerative ability, capable of regrowing an arm, besides a high-level healing potion is capable of doing the job.

Julius was curious about what Alex proposed to Leonardo to become a spy. He searched for a long time but found nothing. He could not know what the two had talked about that night in the cell before Alex cut off Leonardo's right arm, and he escaped the next day.

Julius decided to test the water; maybe this time, he might gain something.

''I heard you saw that traitor; he even escaped.''

Julius stated, and Alex nodded; he was not surprised he had told Artemia to tell everything that happened to the emperor, except for a few things; naturally, the encounter with Leonardo being one of them, he was not surprised when the emperor brought this up.

''Indeed, I let him go,'' Alex admitted it and waited for the emperor's reaction as expected. Julius was shocked; he had speculated that Alex deliberately let go of Leonardo if not a Demi-God level existence. Even a new one could not have any trouble subduing a Saint. Even if he couldn't, he should be able to easily kill him, but it was not what happened.

However, now that Alex directly admitted to have let Leonardo escape, he was lost for words, but this didn't last long because he quickly regained his cool.

Chuckle!

''And why did you do that? He is a traitor; you shouldn't have let him leave-"

Before Julius could finish , Alex interrupted him and asked.

''Who did he betray? You? Katherina? Or Drexia empire? He might have been part of your daughter's faction but calling him a traitor just because he left the empire in search of something more to his convenience is far-fetched. Did he sell some of the empire's secrets? Caused some kind of damage?"

Facing Alex's questions which seemed to never end, Julius was unable to offer a word; now that Alex asked these questions, he finally understood that calling Leonardo a traitor just because he switched sides as his interests were not aligned with them anymore was a bit too much. Still, it didn't change the fact that he did betrayed them, betrayed his friends, his daughter, and joined the dark side. Just as he was about to say something, Alex interrupted him again and declared with a smile.

''Both you and I know why I let him go. It's probably what you are thinking about.''

Julius froze before bursting into a laughter; he laughed for a while before saying.

''You are the best fit for politics. You must create your own empire.''

''I hate politics. Maybe in the future, never say never. Okay, I'll take my leave now that I'm done with what I came to accomplish.'' Alex said before standing.

''Sure,'' Julius replied, still seated, but suddenly a violent aura burst out from his body, destroying the cottage, and in a flash, he appeared before Alex threw a punch toward his head.

Crackle!

Lightning crackled around his fist; space was torn apart. Alex felt pressured to an extent he had never felt before; the only aura stronger than Julius's aura should be those two mystical beasts, the dragon, and the nine-headed hydra, but he never fought them, so they really count.

Alex understood that compared to everything he had fought against until now, Julius was the strongest existence. He would if he did not go all out.

Looking at the punch coming towards his head, Alex smiled; the more pressure, the more exciting he felt. He immediately activated his Asura's Form.

BOOM!

The rest of the cottage was destroyed by Alex's aura, and the two began to float above the lake. Julius was surprised by Alex's sudden transformation; he felt threatened but still didn't stop; his punch continued to head toward Alex's head.

Bang!

At the last minute, Alex retaliated by throwing a punch with his left hand.

An explosion occurred that cut the lake into two; Julius stood still while Alex was forced a couple of steps back, his blood churning inside his body.

A trail of blood appeared at the edge of his lips. Alex knew he had lost in this casual exchange, but he had not said his last word.

A silver gun flashed in his right arm; Alex ignored the Eternal Chain trying to come seemingly angry about something.

A bullet was unleashed.

BANG!

The crimson bullet blasted the water in the lake, evaporating them as it shot toward Julius like a judgment bullet, but the emperor was perfectly calm.

Suddenly, purple lighting flashed through his eyes before he made a cutting motion with his right hand; the crimson bullet was cut into two before vanishing. An unfathomable sword intent rushed toward Alex, seemingly to lock him into a place, but Alex sneered; opening his mouth, he roared.

''Roarrr!"

That terrific sword intent was reduced to dust like the crimson bullet; Alex vanished and reappeared behind the emperor. Still, his eyes widened, it unknown when but a purple sword was thrust toward his stomach, even his time acceleration ability could not completely stop this sword, Alex was forced to stop the sword with his left hand while throwing his right hand toward the emperor's head, unexpectedly he dodged when he felt an aura of death locking into him. It was the death gun; the black gun appeared in Alex's right hand; its appearance alone stopped the emperor's movement.

''You can do it.''

After a moment of silence, Julius declared.
