Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1210 1122: Against The Monster

Suddenly,

"Argh!!!"

Someone yelled in pain. It sounded like someone fell victim to a demonic attack.

The shriek riled up the entire place. Chilled by the insidious power, their hairs stood on their ends, including Maximus.

Gnashing his teeth, he quickly dashed over to the scene of the crime only to see.

There, was a monster with scales all over it, it had a long reptilian tail and that monster was feasting on the dead body of the soldier it had just killed. It was emitting creepy crunching sounds, and blood splattered everywhere.

It was eating him!

Upon this Maximus went pale but he steeled himself up and he rushed towards the monster!

The monster stopped as its eyes flashed red. He thought he got the jump on the monster when it disappeared in a wisp of black mist. It quickly flew in a certain direction.

"Running away?!"

Maximus followed the monster while emitting ice energy.

He threw a dagger at the runaway monster.

Swoosh!

The dagger landed on the back of the dark mist-clad monster.

Clang

The dagger only succeeded in marking sparks appear when it failed to pierce the monster's scaly hide. The monster continued escaping as it disappeared from Maximus's sight.

"What a scary defense..."

Even as a Saint realm expert, he was unable to deal any real damage to the monster. His dagger throw wasn't empowered by battle techniques or skills, however, he used his strength and the dagger itself is a rare item, not your normal dagger, it should have no trouble cutting through scales, yet it failed to even scratch the monster.

Maximus yelled out loud.

"Monster! Capture it!"

His loud yell echoed throughout the clan compound as soldiers clamored into action.

"Seize it!"

The calm compound immediately turned chaotic. The dark serene night got destroyed as the soldiers started converging on Maximus. With weapons ready, the guards charged here.

"The monster's here!"

Came the shout of another soldier nearby.

"It's here! Here!"

"It's over here!"

The monster couldn't hide with so many eyes looking for it. Continuous sightings popped up.

Then, there were shrieks of pain, rallying cries, and pathetic sobs.

Pandorawho sat on a high wall and finally opened his eyes. He looked in a certain direction with golden eyes.

Her body, rather, her blood started reacting.

"I knew it!"

Pandora stood up and she disappeared in a flash.

"I am going to get you this time! Don't think you can escape a second time!"

"Argh... No!!!"

The latest victim's final words reverberated throughout the Crystal family compound. The soldiers saw the victim getting enveloped by dark mist the moment he confronted the monster with dark mist. It didn't take long for the victim to start moaning in agony.

The bundle of dark mist with the monster inside took its leave immediately. It looked like it was running away but a closer inspection would reveal that the monster seemed to be eerily familiar with the clan's layout. It's not escaping, it's hunting!

The victims that got enveloped by the dark mist all disappeared as they wailed in pain. The surrounding soldiers braced themselves as they rushed up to the dark mist. That resulted in more bones on the ground.

Then, the dark mist moved on to the next victims.

"Argh!"

"Please, help me!"

"Save me!!!"

Five more soldiers died. The soldiers around the victims started shivering in fear, and with pale faces, they lost the courage to assault the monster.

Maximus got here only to see bones, blood, and tremors in the area. The wails of soldiers who met their untimely end entered his ears. It was like a scene straight out of hell. He couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Then, the monster within the dark mist bundle came for him.

His pupil shrunk to pinpoints, and the scene where a hulking monster draped in dark mist charged straight for him, made him freeze in fear.

If the dark mist touched him, he was sure he would be reduced to a pile of bones just like the other soldiers.

Bam!

"Hiyaa!"

Maximus rallied himself and he channeled his mana to focus power on his daggers, he faced the incoming dark mist with his daggers covered in ice, he was using the Ice element.

Bang!

When his daggers touched the dark mist, dull thuds came as the dark mist rippled. The weapons couldn't hold up for more than 1 second before they started cracking.

A rare item broke!

The blood vessels in Maximus's hand ruptured as his face turned red from overexertion. It felt like he just got slammed with a mountain. His bones cracked and his ice armor almost collapsed. Soon, his weapons will most like be destroyed and he would be eaten by this monster in front of him.

"You vile monster, die!!!"

On the verge of despair, Maximus heard angry roars coming from all directions. Then, the sounds of people flying here greeted his ears.

8 fighters came to his aid. They attacked the dark mist with various attacks.

Bam!

A strong shockwave swept the surrounding area. This explosion came from the two opposing forces colliding. The ground cracked, and the walls also started crumbling. The 8 fighters were all tier-peak Saint realm experts.

Bang!

By sheer force, the 8 fighters blew the dark mist.

"Young master!"

One of the 8 fighters helped Maximus to his feet, he was pale and his hands were shaking.

"Are you alright?"

''Y-yeah..."

Maximus shook his head. The dark mist appeared to be relatively unharmed despite being attacked by the combined attacks of eight full-fledged Saint realm experts.

If the elites didn't gather in time, he would have lost his arms even if he kept his life.

The monster which almost killed him in one hit and could take multiple hits from tier 8 fighters must be at least in the Demi-God realm.

"Everyone."

Maximus ordered.

"Don't let it get away!"

"Be at ease, young master."

When the tier 8 fighters replied, the dark mist monster jumped up and flew straight for the area with the least population density.

"Crap!"

"Don't let it get away!"

"You monster! Stop right now!"

The tier 8 fighters hollered. They channeled power to chase after the monster but a figure appeared seemingly out of thin air, surprising the fighters greatly.

The figure went straight after the monster that just escaped.

Maximus and the others couldn't get a good look at the new fighter.

"Be careful!"

The figure didn't care what they had to say as she continued going after the monster.

"Fool!"

Maximus and the other tier 8 elites scolded the figure. That fool was bound to wound up as a pile of bones for her asinine move.

Then, something happened that went beyond their expectations.

Boom

When the uninvited guest smashed into the dark mist, the air around them exploded under the immense fallout. The soldiers who were nearby got blown into the distance. The resulting violent gusts also kept everyone rooted as they tried to resist being blown away by the attack.

Boom!

Another thud came as they saw the tanky monster get smashed into a wall like modern art. The wall collapsed under the immense impact.

They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the uninvited guest who looked completely fine, her clothes weren't even ruffled.

Petrified by this great display of power, they looked on with awe.

It took eight Saint realm experts to force the monster back temporarily. Yet, the new arrival just straight-up smacked the monster into a wall.

''Grrrrrrr!''

A low growl came.

Buried under a pile of rubble, rotting stench wafted up from between the rocks.

Then, this stench went back before exploding in a grand fashion.

A scaly monster with long claws and wiggling tentacles emerged from under the rubble. Its mono-eye had 7 pupils while its body shone with insidious whip-like dark energy. It bellowed in anger one more time, shaking the space around it.

When the monster clad in dark mist roared, the others finally jolted back into reality.

The surrounding guards nervously stepped back when the monster shrieked with anger and hatred.

Even Maximus and the other Saint realm experts subconsciously backpedaled. Pandora was the only one who still stood her ground against the terrifying monster.

Pandora sighed before using a special ability on the monster.

Gregory Crystal: Level 150 (160)

Pandora couldn't help but laugh out loud when she identified the monster.

"So, it's you..."

She declared in a low volume that entered everyone's ears. The monster also slowly reined in its dark mist.

Does she know who I am?

Gregory said nothing although his scaly face twitched in nervousness.

"Y-you know who that thing is?"

Maximus felt a strange sense of unease when the mysterious woman that suddenly appeared said that.

His curiosity got the better of him.

"Miss, who is that?"

"Hmm?"

Pandora turned around with a surprised look. She dropped the bomb on Maximus and everyone else.

"You can't recognize your own younger brother after he turned into a monster?"

"My brother?"

Maximus asked with an incredulous look on his face.
