Death Guns In Another World

'Sii!"

Ice and lightning seeped through the injury, making the monster lose control of her body for a second.

Artemia vanished and reappeared before the frozen female snake with her hand raised high.

''Nineteen Layered Lightning: Judgement Spear!"

Kabooooom!

The golden lightning judgment spear descended upon the snake and impaled it before her body was blown up into a gory mist.

Or so Artemia thought.

Unexpectedly from the gory mist, a tail came from and struck Artemia in the stomach. Even though she sensed danger, she could not react before being sent flying.

Bang! Boom!

Artemia's back was violently slammed against a small mountain two kilometers behind her. Her body suddenly trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. She raised her hand and wiped the blood from her lips.

As he lowered her hand, blood started dripping from her eyes and ears. Her senses burned with piercing pain, but she didn't utter a single grunt.

''You are different from your husband." She said, watching the bloody mist solidify, turning back into the white snake, but there was something different this time; her scales had silver shine mixed in.

''I'm an Immortal Snake. You killed my husband before I could share my core with him, and for this, you all will die.'' The Immortal Snake explained.

Suddenly, Artemia felt that something was not right with her body. She felt weak for some unknown reason.

Haah," She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh as she felt her knees buckling from weakness and exhaustion. Foreign energy was inside her body, making it hard to control her body as she wished.

As she slumped down, a hand wrapped around her shoulders and supported her. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar presence from her blurry vision.

"Thanks for waiting. Should I take care of this from now on?" Alex said with a smile. He had overhead what the Immortal Snake said; she was really different from the one he killed. Even Silveria said it wouldn't be easy to kill it, well, not easy for the others, but for him, it would be a different story. He could have ordered to let him take care of it without considering Artemia's feelings, but it wouldn't have been a wise thing to do.

''No, let me take care of it.''

As expected, Artemia didn't relent, she decided to finish this Immortal Snake; it was her prey.

''Ok.'' Alex's reply was short; he disappeared to take care of the still unconscious Maria.

Meanwhile, Artemia filled every cell inside her body with golden lightning; this destroyed the poison that infiltrated her blood and was about to make her fall unconscious.

''Let's go for round two, you serpent.''

A monstrous aura filled with heavy killing intent surged out of the Immortal's snake body as she shot forward.

The snake turned insane from anger, and all it wanted to do was chump these humans. Especially Artemia, which dared to call her a serpent, technically she was one but to them who lost everything and were reduced to dungeon slaves, being called serpent was an insult, something she could not tolerate.

"Girl, I'm going to eat you!" The serpent's voice was filled with sinisterness.

"Girl, I'm going to eat you!" The Immortal voice was filled with sinisterness.

"Stop daydreaming, idiot, and let's switch location," Artemia said as she vanished and reappeared twenty away, leaving Alex and Maria's location.

The Immortal Snake followed, enraged.

''Damn you bitch, stop being so rude," The Immortal Snake scuttled out and pounced straight on Artemia floating in the air. Her mouth released waves of poisonous energy that rushed at her.

''Wow! Is being the rude one? You even know how to cuss.''

Artemia laughed and disappeared from her spot, leaving behind an afterimage. The poisonous energy swept through the afterimage like water through the air.

The snake twisted her body in midair and whipped out her body like a hammer towards the sky. Artemia, who was charging at the snake, stopped and chuckled before using her Nineteen Layered Lightning art; she used the defensive form. The lightning shield.

The snake's body viciously slammed against the lightning shield without hesitation. Cracks appeared on the shield, but they were filled just as they appeared.

Artemia counterattacked.

A golden lightning beam boomed out of her palm explosively. The Immortal Snake sensed danger, so she coiled her body and darted to a side to avoid the golden lightning beam.

The lightning beam crashed on the ground, creating a loud blast.

BOOM!

A spear cut through the air, trying to pierce through the snake's scales, but she swatted it to the side with her tail.

However, a chain pierced her right eye while she was busy with her tail.

Siiiiiiii!

The Immortal Snake hissed, and poisonous gas exploded from her body, forcing Artemia to abort her plan.

''Poisonous Needles!"

Snow rose from the ground to form thousand of tiny ice needles; these Ice needles were soon covered in poison.

Swoosh! Swoosh!!!!!!!!!!!

Thousand of poisonous ice needles shot toward Artemia from all sides; to make matters worse, some kind of gravity domain seemed to have locked the princess in one place, making it hard for her to dodge.

''Sigh! So bothersome.'' Artemia said before the needles swallowed her.

Boom!

The Immortal Snake was not happy because her instinct warned that something bad would happen. Until the end, that girl didn't show fear.

The snake was still injured, not at her full capacity. They may be called immortal, but they are by no means truly immortal. Real immortality doesn't exist except for the creators, the supreme ones.

Artemia reappeared perfectly fine.

''What?" The Immortal Snake was so surprised that she froze for a moment. Injured, she could accept but not perfectly fine.

''Nineteen Layered Lightning art: Nineteenth Form: Lightning!"

Artemia was not going to let this chance slip through her fingers; she used her strongest ability, the one that saved her a few seconds ago.

Her body became the lightning itself; she couldn't completely control it yet, but to kill this monster, was more than enough.

The only thing the Immortal Snake saw was a flash of lightning. Instantly, her mind was filled with a deep sense of dreadness like she had never felt before; not even being deeper in the Ice land made her feel so afraid.

In normal times, her speed was so fast that even Artemia, even with her lightning element, would have trouble up coping, but now there was no opportunity to dodge, much less flee.

The lightning bolt struck her chest.

''Nooo!" The serpent cried as powerful vibrations penetrated her body when she got struck by the lightning bolt . The vibrations were filled with an explosive energy that made her blood transmute at a terrifying speed.

At first, it was as if like a formless burst of energy was suddenly powering her blood cells, but it soon changed into a nightmarish hell; that formless energy transformed into lightning that ran amok inside the snake's body, creating utmost chaos in her body organs. Her veins ripped apart under the might of the powerful force in blood.

The explosive lightning energy rampaged throughout her body before sticking on her flesh like magma.

Sss!

The shining white scales on her outer body cracked apart like cobwebs, and from the cracks, a flash of golden lightning swept out.

The air exploded in multiple blinding flashes of lightning, encapsulating the Immortal Snake and everything within its vicinity. Artemia, still in the lightning form, disappeared just as the light exploded in destructive waves.

BOOOM

A powerful explosion spanning for miles burst out, erasing everything in its path. Terrifying ripples swept past and an ear-piercing sound reverberated in the white world.

''Wow! That's intense. I'm feeling chill even from here.'' Alex commented as he kept nursing Maria, whose forehead was sweat-filled. She seemed to be having a terrible nightmare as her body kept trembling.

''Sigh! I hope it's nothing serious and she will wake up soon.'' Alex was worried as Maria wasn't waking up even after he fed her a few potions.

''Don't worry. She will wake up soon.'' Artemia, who appeared beside the two, said. She was sweating as well, but for a different reason; it was because of she had just used the nineteenth form.

''Powerful ability. I want to try it two. Let's spar later.'' Alex, who had seen her turning into lightning itself, suggested, he truly wanted to fight her in that state, her strongest state; however, he seemed to be mistaken.

''That's not the strongest form; the twentieth form is the strongest. I can use right now, but if I could, I'm sure the current you couldn't win even with all your abilities.''

''Oh?" Alex was not offended by Artemia's words but just curious. He wondered if this statement was true. His blood began boiling just by imagining him losing.

''I will fight you in that form later.'' He promised.

''I'm looking forward to it.'' Artemia nodded. It would be a fun fight.
