Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1288 1181: In Search Of The Final Door

?

The couple was already in this place for 2 days now. They have 4 days left.

They were in a race against time.

"Ugh…"

Sighing for the nth time. Alex rubbed his aching temples.

"The Guardian is seriously… Does it want us to waste our Seven days? It keeps throwing so many distractions at us…"

"And that's why it's called a trial."

Silveria looked around despite explaining. It seems she is still focused on finding a clue.

"If it were that easy to get the treasures inside this named dungeon then we would have exhausted the treasures here over so many generations."

"You do have a point there…"

Alex nodded. He scanned his surrounding, the identical doors made him feel dizzy. He decided to call for Nyx's assistance, maybe she'd help like always

'Like always? Almost as if we knew each other since a long time ago, going through a lot together. However, I simply remember that we meet one year ago. Something doesn't feel right, why do I keep having these weird feelings that something was not right? Even after escaping the green mist, what's going on?' 

Alex stopped, lost in thoughts when Silveria's voice reached him.

''Alexander, what's the problem?'' 

''No, nothing!'' He said shaking his head, if something was not right he would eventually find out, maybe he was simply too tired why he was this sensitive Alex thought.

''Nyx, do you have any idea that can help us in the current situation?'' Alex finally sought Nyx's help.

''Maybe if I can go out. I am still stuck inside you so there's nothing I can do."

Nyx also sounded a bit frustrated. Due to a certain accident she had become bonded with him and could live inside him, as for what accident he could not remember properly, another weird thing.

Meanwhile, Nyx continued.

"Moreover, even if I somehow materialized myself, what can I do without magic?"

Alex had a bitter look.

"Do we have no choice but to keep searching?"

Nyx stayed quiet. After a few seconds, she voiced her thoughts.

"There are no solutions in your item box such as a specific item for this situation?"

"Indeed, there are many other items in the item box. I once fell into a labyrinth-type dungeon, I used a magical compass that always pointed to the correct way…"

"Use that one!"

Nyx connected her consciousness with Alex's mind. She accessed his memories. Then, she lost her words.

"Now you know why, right?"

Alex grumbled. He took out a compass.

It can guide the user once a vague input like "enter" or "leave" appears in the mind of the user. It will then direct the user to the desired destination.

This item was perfect for their current situation.

Alex can just think: "I want to enter the last floor.", let the compass do the rest of the job, right?

If only it was that simple.

If Silveria looked at Alex, she would find him holding a compass that was going bonkers.

"This…"

Nyx turned grim.

"Are you telling me these doors all lead to the last floor?!"

"I don't know."

Alex honestly answered her.

"According to Silveria, the Guardian can open up portals to the last floor. With such powers, I reckon the doors here can all lead to the last floor. As long as the guardian wants it this way, the correct door can be any one of the many doors here. We are not dealing with a static door."

"Even this special compass isn't useful in a situation like this…"

"What can we do to find the correct door?"

Nyx started complaining.

Anyone would be frustrated by the prospect of searching all the doors when the true door isn't static. They might even throw a tantrum over this.

"Silveria said it wouldn't be a trial if it is that easy to pass…"

Alex slapped his cheeks.

"From another viewpoint, this confirms Silveria's theory."

"The Guardian must be trying to give us a hint, bulldozing our way through this won't help."

Nyx mused out loud after hearing Wu Yan's opinion.

"Then, what do you plan on doing?"

Alex closed his eyes.

The environment was as quiet as it was dark. The doors lined up like a series of doors containing caskets behind them. It looked like a scene from a horror show where monsters could jump out at any moment. An average girl would be scared out of their wits, she would probably stick to Alex in search of safety.

Of course Silveria wasn't your normal girl, she ignored all this. She continued searching with deadly focus. Even the dark cave couldn't hide her unique and beautiful aura.

Unfortunately, the only one lucky enough to enjoy this scene was currently running through various options in his mind. Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

"Searching like this will yield nothing."

Alex denied her effort. Silveria stopped before turning around with a confused look.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

She asked him a question similar to Nyx's question. Alex looked at one of the doors.

"I don't care if this is fake or real. Since it's a door, we should try opening it, right?!"

Upon hearing this Silveria flinched, and she locked her eyebrows in a frown.

"Isn't that a bit reckless?"

"Still better than fumbling around like this."

He stepped forward.

"Maybe the clue is behind the doors? I don't see why we shouldn't try…"

Silveria relaxed her furrowed brows. Seeing Alex's grin finally made her nod.

"I see, it's worth a shot…"

"Nn…"

Alex locked the door nearest to him.

"Let me try this one."

He was not sure what is behind the door. But, he was the one with powers here. Plus, he was the only guy here so the duty falls on him to take the vanguard position.

Silveria was also aware of her weakness. If something does happen, she will only hinder Alex's actions. She obediently backed away.

Alex gave Silveria a reassuring look. Then, he marched over to the door.

He pressed his palm against the door almost as if he had done something similar in the past.

It felt the same, the door was heavy and cold. Every time, he readied himself before giving the door that final push.

Now then, what was waiting for me beyond this door?

Alex pushed the door wide open with a mighty shove.

Boom!

An intense ray of light struck Alex's eyes forcing him, not them to close their eyes.
