Death Guns In Another World

After complimenting Alex for his new domain, Nyx decided to stop tonight's session to let Alex rest.

''Let's me continue for a while. I've got a new idea.'' Alex requested, obviously not planning to end his training, at least not yet.

Nyx nodded before leaving Alex alone to train.

°°°°°°

The following day the group woke up and departed after their breakfast.

''Somehow, you have become stronger.'' Sakuya noticed that something was different about their man.

''You are right. His aura has become more refined and powerful.'' Maria said while observing Alex's body.

''Well, it's because of training.'' He responded. He was about to go into the details when he felt an ominous feeling. It was coming from a dangerous monster ahead.

''As expected, there was no way this place wouldn't have a monster,'' Maria said, already summoning her Gift; Artemia also did the same thing.

The group soon came face to face with the monster. A giant snake coiled on itself. Pure white scales like the snow itself and a glowing gray horn.

''It would have been beautiful cutie if it was not extremely long.'' Artemia, who had a soft spot for exotic animals, said, looking at the monster.

Right after that comment, the giant snake opened its eyes there, beautiful blue like the sky above them.

''Welcome my meals.'' The snake's eyes were filled with sinisterness.

"You are going to help me further by becoming my food." The monster added like a King talking to its subject.

As the white snake said this, the entire area was suddenly filled with an intensely oppressive feeling. Its aura was shockingly at level 145, a Demi-God monster.

Oh?" Alex raised his eyebrows.

"For years, I have not consumed any good meal that could provide me the energy I need to get stronger.'' The snake's tongue flicked as it eyed its new prey. "But you three arrived, and I've been observing you. Once I consume you three, I'll without a break free from this accursed place and soar, becoming a dragon that will dominate the world.''

''A snake with a delusion of grandeur. It's not every time you see one. He even wants to eat us.'' Alex's lips curved up in a mocking smile. "This makes me feel s that I want to murder you."

Swoosh.

The air around him flickered, and dark blue energy shot out of his body explosively. The oppressive pressure from the white snake was ripped apart and disappeared into thin air.

Artemia and Maria were surprised by the intensity of his aura. The ground below their feet cracked into cobwebs while stone and dust flew in the air. They knew his strength had increased but not to this extent.

"Leave this one to me, girls," Alex said as he tapped his right foot on the ground.

Without waiting for their responses, he shot straight at the serpent at an explosive speed. The snake's body flickered, and it pounced at Alex.

As they crashed into each other, a destructive force surged out like tidal waves. The ground completely split apart while the trees exploded in a chain reaction.

BOOM!

A loud sound rang throughout the area, shattering the silence in the region, and almost causing an avalanche.

The serpent and Alex backed off from each other as the first clash ended.

''As a mortal, your physics is not bad.'' The white snake commented. It was like he was complimenting Alex, but he was obviously mocking him.

''Yeah! Yeah! And as immortal, your physics is so-so.'' Alex fired back.

The snake was not pleased with his comment, so he attacked. The snake was enormous, and his tail was as thick as two tree trunks. Yet its speed was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages as it swept past.

In just a moment, the tail fiercely smashed into Alex, who did nothing to dodge.

Alex was sent flying before he forcefully stopped in midair. He raised his hand and wiped his lips. A drop of blood was visible on the back of his hand.

''Well. It's hurt. Let's me give it back.'' Alex, who had done testing his physical against the monster, mumbled before attacking in turn.

''Ethereal-"

He gripped his hand into a fist and vanished from the sight.

"What? Teleportation?" The snake was startled. He quickly turned around as the air behind twisted and churned.

But as the snake turned, his eyes flickered with surprise as there was nothing but plain air. Behind its back, a terrifying tide of energy surged out and landed on his head.

The white scales were ripped apart to expose green flesh. The monster was alarmed, and he backed away, looking at Alex in amazement. It was his fist that hit him but an condensed form of energy.

''Bullet!"

Finally, Alex finished calling the name of his new bullet.

The snake felt formless energy trying to run amok inside his body, but he quickly got it under control.

A few distances away, Maria and Artemia were watching the fight. They were shocked by the mysterious new bullet.

''I've got the feeling that this bullet had a space ability.'' Maria arrived at this conclusion.

''You are right. It's a mix of Time and space elements if not wrong.'' Artemia added.

''Let's ask for more details later,'' Maria said, ending the discussion. They continued to watch the fight. Not once do they think their man would lose. Demigod monster or not, he would not lose even if the fight was tough.

Meanwhile, Alex, who had tested his new bullet, was not completely pleased; there were still a few things to correct. Like Artemia said, this special bullet was a mix of two elements: Time and Space. Time to make it faster while space to teleport it from point A to point B.

He would use this snake as a guinea pig; he was sturdy after all.

Speaking of how sturdy the monster was, the scales on his back regenerated in no time, and it once again pounced at Alex, furious to have been injured.

Alex summoned Razor, his customer-made knife, and enveloped it with Wind element. He raised his knife high in the air before lowering it in a slashing movement. The wind concentrated and turned into an invisible blade that swept right at the snake with terrifying momentum.

"Human, what happened just now was a fluke," The snake rolled its tail at the wind blade, destroying it like a piece of glass. "Don't expect such luck now."

The monster opened its mouth and spat an arrow of dark venom. The air buzzed with an acidic sound as the arrow shot out.

Swoosh!

The arrow rushed forward with explosive speed, but just as it was about to touch Alex, he evaded it by taking a step to the right.

The arrow continued to travel ahead, and it struck a giant tree at his back. The tree started melting like heated wax and decayed in an instant.

Alex felt his scalp turning numb; no matter how confident he was in his physics, he would never come out unscathed if that thing touched him.

"You sure have a killer breath," Alex brought his eyes to the monster and said in an amused tone.

"How does your female partner survive while copulating with you? Or you don't-"

"Human, you have a sharp tongue," The snake cut him off, but still didn't fall his trick at such a crucial moment. It was sure the human was trying to provoke through words and make it commit a mistake. He would be a fool if he fell for such a trick. He must end this fight, or else the more prolonged this battle becomes, the more furious he would become and would eventually make a mistake.

The snake burst out and increased his speed as he charged straight at Alex like a beam of light.

Alex was startled by the explosive increase in speed. Before he could dodge, the serpent coiled its tail on his feet like rattan vines.

''Asura's Form!"

BOOM!

The crimson aura that burst out of his body when he activated his Asura's Form managed to push away the tail coiled around his feet.

BANG!

The snake's body was violently smashed against a cave a few meters away, completely crushing it. However, he immediately attacked by launching his ultimate ability.

''Kaleidoscope!"

The world turned black and white.

''Close your eyes,'' Alex shouted at the girls as he knew what type of domain this was. Silveria had warned him. A mental type domain.

Artemia and Maria immediately closed their eyes.

The snake was sure Alex would be affected, but then his right eye shone, destroying the illusion he was about to be put under.

''What?''

The white snake was shocked; this had never happened before. His domain should have worked, but strangely it didn't happen.

Just as he wondered why, another explosive aura burst out of Alex's body, and an enormous amount of mana gathered around him.

''Gun Art Ultimate Form: Monarch of Guns!"

Shua! Shua!

From behind him, many gun muzzles appeared, aiming at the giant snake.

''Ethereal bullets!"

BOOM!
