Death Guns In Another World

In a dungeon where the king of dragons, Bahamut, was trapped, someone was visiting him. Naturally, it was Lord Thanos who came to give his report.

[So you didn't manage to find the one I asked you to find?] Bahamut asked Lord Thanos, kneeling on the ground, and the latter lowered his head.

''Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything. I'm ashamed of my incompetence.'' Lord Thanos explained while waiting for punishment.

However, Bahamut only snorted and did nothing else.

[It seems like that foolish child Lucifer died like predicted. What did that former goddess do?] He switched the subject.

Lord Thanos, who was expecting a punishment, was disappointed, but he quickly concealed this before answering.

''She is probably preparing to become the next ruler. It's hard to infiltrate the empire right now; all our spies have been killed.''

[I see. Don't do anything for now. Focus on throwing more baits for humans to jump on while we will use this opportunity to complete our goal. I hope the 'Demon's project' is going smoothly?]

Lord Thanos, even with his overwhelming strength, shuddered when the name Demon was brought.

People from this world think they are fairly well informed, but what they know is a drop of a bucket in the middle of the ocean.

''Yes, it is going according to the plan.'' Lord Thanos responded while trying to push down the goosebumps threatening to overwhelm his body.

[Good, don't you think it will be fun if the new ruler of Demons sighed a peace treaty with the other races when suddenly Demon will attack?]

''!"

A chill crawled up Lord Thanos's spine as he realized what the king of dragons Bahamut meant.

''Certainly, it will be awesome.'' Lord Thanos replied while thinking his Lord was scarier when he used his brain. Most of their plans were devised by him; not only was he strong, strong to the point of absurdity, but he was also smart.

Lord Thanos was glad to be on his side. Serving someone like this was an honor, and a bright future awaited him once Mysthia was conquered, opening the road to the other worlds.

[Continue with the plan. Create new Numbers, and don't hesitate to sacrifice more.] Bahamut ordered before asking Lord Thanos to leave.

Everything would soon fall in place. Bahamut wondered what Alex would do. Who sweats his despair would be.

Bahamut had noticed that some people had their curse removed, probably Alex's doing, but it doesn't matter. It wouldn't change the overall situation. The world is still cursed. Even if by some miracle the curse was lifted, he doubted it. It wouldn't change anything because he had half conquered this world. He wouldn't fail in his mission. He would succeed, and this would become his kingdom after swallowing the other worlds.

Suddenly, Bahamut's giant body shuddered because he felt a dragon's power somewhere. However, he couldn't pinpoint the exact location. It came from a girl. This girl would do a better vessel. However, for an unknown reason, his instinct warned him not to do anything. Bahamut chuckled and ignored it. He sent the order to search for this girl.

Back to Alex's location.

The Eternal chain continued to swallow the Ice essences, distributing them to both Maria and its master while not forgetting to keep some for its use.

This continued for a long moment until the dungeon started shaking.

Rumble!

It was as if there was an earthquake. Artemia frowned; she could feel the dungeon's vitality being drained at fast speed. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before this dungeon would crumble. She must prevent this. Although, Alex had warned the emperor and the council at their last meeting. They wouldn't take it kindly if another dungeon were to get destroyed soon; therefore, she had to prevent the worse-case situation.

Alex knew this; he was trying to stop the greedy Eternal chain from sucking like a starving kid. Maria's body had undergone subtle change, she became more beautiful, and her hair had turned completely white.

Crack! Crack!

Alex felt the sound of something breaking apart, he didn't know what was breaking, but he felt like it was a good thing.

A chilling aura was emanating from Maria's body right now, the same aura Alex felt from the Frozen fairies, it was not to the same extent, but it was a scary aura.

The Eternal chain kept sucking the ice essence inside the dungeon, but it was not enough; it started sucking the vitality of monsters inside the dungeon, distributing this between the three.

Alex noticed the change and was about to ask the Eternal chain to stop when Artemia's furious voice reached his ears.

''Alex, stop it. You'll destroy the dungeon at this rate. I know you have warned them beforehand, but they won't stay still if you destroy a named dungeon, especially this one. So please stop before it's too late.''

Alex tried to stop the chain, but it was not listening.

Rumble! Rumble!

The dungeon kept rumbling, the room they were in began to lose its lusters like a dying candle, and Artemia was sure that by now, people might have started noticing the change outside.

She panicked.

''Alex, stop it!!!" Artemia shouted with all her might, but Alex didn't stop; the latter felt like crying but had no tears. If it were up to him, he would have stopped already, but this damned greedy chain didn't stop; it was not listening to him, and he couldn't cancel the summon. In fact, right now, Alex couldn't move; his body was in a state of euphoria he couldn't move.

Artemia was angry beyond words, but she took a deep breath and analyzed the situation. Alex, the man she knew, wasn't someone reckless when it comes to things like this. Surely, he didn't stop because of the chain refused to listen to him.

Thinking this, the princess and former goddess snorted and stepped forward.

''What a naughty kid.'' She said before grabbing the chain with her hand coated in lightning; she was trying to yank the chain from the ground forcibly. However, as soon as Artemia's hand touched the chain, the lightning was sucked, and a tiny chain sprouted and pierced her palm.

The princess's eyes turned round.

''Oh! No, it's not a naughty kid but a smart child.''
