Death Guns In Another World

767 Chapter 742

Above the holy capital, Alex and Silveria were floating, watching the scenery below them.

Because he couldn't see what was happening inside cardinal Jean's mansion, only Silveria could, Alex asked.

''Are they done yet?"

He was asking about Sera, and Alpha sent to assassinate two cardinals.

Silveria did not immediately answer. She seemed to be thinking about something; she appeared as though to be in a trance.

''Silveria?" Alex called out but still no reaction. He could only touch her to bring her back to reality.

''I'm sorry, I was thinking about something fun. Mission completed.''

Alex was delighted, but Silveria's following words made him frown.

''We expected the formation under the seven mansions to be broken once two cardinals died, but from what I can see, it didn't seem it will work like that.''

Alex sighed; the reason he targeted the cardinals was not only because he wanted to make the Holy Crux empire suffer a severe loss but because the seven mansions formed a grand formation protecting the tower of babel in the distance also, there was a secret passageway under the sewer. To use this passageway to sneak into the tower, they had to deactivate the formation protecting the tower. This formation was a copy of Avalon's shield formation.

Just as Alex was thinking about a solution, Silveria unexpectedly offered him a solution.

''Those two can't kill another cardinal. Killing those two cardinals wasn't easy. Besides, one of the cardinals is growing suspicious; he is the strongest of them. He will activate the formation to trap whoever has infiltrated it inside. I will act; time for some fun.''

''Okay, please help."

''I will,'' Silveria responded before vanishing. Alex could only wait.

Meanwhile, inside the biggest mansion out of the seven was Cardinal Pendragon, the strongest of the seven. He was a man of few words; tonight was not different than usual, but he felt like something was not right, his instinct told him so, and he was a man that always believed in his instinct. If his instinct told him that something was not right, then it was true.

Cardinal Pendragon was about to activate the formation when suddenly his body jolted. He felt goosebumps rising all over his body as alarm bells rang in his heart.

''Who are you? Come out?" Cardinal Pendragon roared; he was not calm as he was a few seconds ago. He couldn't be blamed; the being that managed to sneak into his chamber must not be anything ordinary.

''Oh! Not bad. I left a clue, and you were able to notice it quickly. Your instinct is not to be underestimated.'' A beautiful voice rang out not too far from him, and when he laid his eyes on the owner of this voice, his body shuddered; he had never seen a woman so beautiful; he momentarily forgot to breathe; this would have continued if not because Silveria's eyes were locked onto him.

Unprecedented feelings of fear arose, and Cardinal Pendragon felt his scalp blistering. He had goosebumps all over his body. This was the second time in two minutes.

Without hesitation, he summoned his gift, a golden spear. He thrust his spear forward with all his might; a light ray was shot out from the spear tip like a laser beam, going straight to Silveria.

''Nice reaction, but unfortunately, you met me,'' Silveria said with a sigh, almost as if she were pitying Pendragon.

The cardinal understood that something was wrong; just as the beam arrived five meters from Silveria, it simply vanished.

''Huh?" Cardinal Pendragon was shocked, but he was not going to let this affect him; he knew instantly the moment he saw this woman whose beauty was out of this world that he was not her match; he must take the initiative to distract her until he succeeded in activating the formation. Once he succeeded, no matter how strong she might be, she would die once trapped as every cardinal, and high priest would swarm over and strike her. Even without the Pope coming, they could kill this mysterious woman who should be the origin of the uneasiness he had been feeling.

''Heretic!" Shouted the cardinal to destabilize his enemy while at the same time unleashing his mighty domain. The room turned white before turning into a white flame; this white flame looked holy.

Suddenly, cardinal Pendragon raised his hand.

A thick palm symbolizing absolute power was raised with his gesture.

"Go to hell."

With a loud voice, Pendragon's palm started to fall.

The distance between them could be traversed in an almost straight line.

In an instant, the domain around Pendragon began to break, to his dismay. It was at that moment that he saw the smirk on Silveria's face.

''I know what you are trying to do.'' Silveria's voice appeared behind Pendragon; then he heard a sound.

''Buzz!"

An extremely harsh sound suddenly passed through the void. This sharp sound was only a fleeting and soft sound for ordinary people. But in the ears of an expert, whose willpower was absolutely focused in the combat state, it was like a steel needle directly piercing the ears.

Silveria completely shattered the domain around Pendragon, suddenly appearing behind him. But before he could change do anything, one of his arms holding the formation eye was sliced off and torn into pieces.

Bang!

Pendragon, who had not completely recovered from the last attack, got slapped onto the ground; he couldn't muster any strength; the surrounding mana and his own mana seemed to have vanished.

''W-who... are you?" With great difficulty, cardinal Pendragon managed to squeeze out those words. Currently, he didn't look like the strongest cardinal, the second strongest of the empire, at all. He looked like a child getting bullied by an adult. He fully understood that he was not this woman's match; she was a monster beyond his understanding, capable of canceling his domain and magic.

'Wait a minute, don't tell me?'

Suddenly, cardinal Pendragon remembered something, and his eyes widened in horror; he understood.

''He is here!" He murmured with a pale face.
