Death Guns In Another World

Looking at Lilith smiling as she regained her power after being released from the curse, Alex felt proud of himself, as if she was her masterpiece. Just as he was reveling in this sensation, Lilith said something that made his face twitch.

''I'm happy. As expected from the man announced in the prophecy.'' Lilith declared.

''Stop it, please.'' Alex immediately stopped her, constantly hearing others say he was the one they had been from the prophecy would always remind him that he was a chess piece and that action was predetermined; it was not a good feeling.

Lilith nodded as she could see that Alex disliked stuff like that.

''Go, leave me alone. We will talk later.'' Alex said, and Lilith nodded before leaving. She didn't head toward the villa but into the capital. Alex guessed she must have gone out to the underworld to inform her subordinate about what she wished to do.

The reason why Alex had asked to be alone was that he was tired and also because he wished to let the Eternal Chain consume the golden ring sent by Goddess Mea to see what change the chain would undergo.

Taking a deep breath, Alex took out a mana recovery potion and drank it; having depleted all of his mana to erase the curse inside Lilith, he needed to recover his mana for what was about to come.

Alex recovered his mana in a minute; he smiled and took out the golden ring. No aura could be felt from this ring as if it was a normal ring; a normal ring could not be an SSS grade item.

〖Are you really going to let the chain consume this ring?〗Silveria asked, but Alex nodded, the golden ring might another use, but the moment the Eternal Chain stated its desire to consume it, its fate had been sealed. Besides, Alex wants to try something previously he didn't dare to do because the Eternal Chain was weak; he could feel it. Maybe after consuming the golden ring, would the chain be capable enough to be used for what he had in mind?

The moment he acquired the Eternal Chain, the black chain Alex was reminded of, which is those chains trapping Nyx, his favorite between the two; she had done more than Silveria since she knew her. The Eternal Chain looks strangely to those black chains trapping Nyx. When Alex saw the chain's special ability, he immediately thought of using it on the black chains restraining Nyx, but after a series of tests of a smaller scale, he postponed his plan because he could see that the Eternal Chain was still weak. If it takes a few minutes to consume a weak item, then it would be impossible to consume those black chains.

And while he was thinking about how to increase the Eternal Chain level as it didn't possess level like normal skill, goddess Mea generously offered something that could help her achieve his goal; he could not be happier.

Silveria could more or less guess what her master wanted to do, and she was happy. She would have suggested the same solution if Alex didn't notice what the Eternal Chain could do, but fortunately, he noticed and acted as she hoped.

Alex summoned the Eternal Chain, and the moment he appeared, he became excited and started acting recklessly; he couldn't wait to consume the golden ring. Alex didn't hesitate and let him consume it; the tip of the chain touched the golden ring, for a moment nothing happened until the golden ring lost its luster, it got devoured by the Eternal Chain, in an instant, the golden ring became dull before turning into a dust.

Burp!

The Eternal Chain made a human-like sound after consuming the golden ring, an SSS-grade item, something almost impossible to find in Mysthia. Powerful items like that numbered only two in the whole Mysthia.

Alex and Silveria waited patiently, until there was a change. The Eternal Chain shone in golden light, blinding Alex's eyes; he was forced to close his eyes due to the intense light; after everything calmed down, he was shocked to see golden lines on the Eternal Chain and the chain acquiring an additional ability called Soul Bind.

Like the name suggested, the Eternal Chain could bind any soul before consuming it.

''Not bad,'' Alex mumbled; he could feel that the chain had gotten stronger and what was left was to test it whether or not he could not help him. If the Eternal Chain could help, then it meant that he could deal more damage to the Holy Crux empire than anticipated. For example, he could kill the Pope. He would use the Holy Crux empire as an example to let the other superpowers know that they better not mess up with him.

''Let's go,'' Alex mumbled before closing his eyes.

After closing his eyes, Alex appeared in a dark world; black and purple lightning flashed in the sky as though trying to split the sky in two. An enormous pressure descended upon Alex's body, trying to crush it almost as if stopping from accomplishing his goal. Compared to what he had gone through since his arrival in Mysthia since his fate got linked with the two guns, it was nothing.

After a momentary pause, Alex continued unstoppable. He knew that Nyx must be somewhere in this world filled with lightning bolts; what shocked him was that the last time he came here, the world was not so chaotic, but this time it was like even the world was against his arrival. As if the world would know what he wanted to do and was doing everything to stop him. However, Alex would not stop; it was not about Nyx alone; it was about his survival. He must give his all; even if the chance was slim, he must try; he believed that he could make the impossible possible; he just had to try.

''Nothing can't stop me from rescuing her.'' Alex lifted his head, looking at those terrific lightning bolts, and declared, it was like a vow.
