Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 271 - 266: Against The Ogres

The following day, the fake dungeon sun shined brightly to announce the start of a new day.

The group was already up and was eating when suddenly, they started to hear a sound of vibration.

''The ground is vibrating. Do you sense it too?"

As Alex muttered, he felt his body shake slightly again. Listening, they could faintly hear a thudding noise. As the sound gradually grew louder, the vibrations grew proportionally larger. 

''Something is coming,'' Isabella said while tightly gripping her spear.

Artemia had already summoned her Gift; she readied her two glaives.

''Given the timing of the footsteps, there should only be two of them at best. I can imagine its size.'' Artemia said.

Thud! Thud!!

The sounds of footsteps grew closer and closer until the first enemy came to view. 

Alex had encountered this type of monster in the past; however, this one had one head instead of two. 

''An ogre. Who would have thought I would encounter one this soon.'' Alex muttered while glaring at the green monster in front of him. 

It was at least 5 meters tall. Its body was filled with an overwhelming amount of dense muscles. The club the monster held in its hand was simply an uprooted tree. 

''There is still another one at the back,'' Isabella shouted; it seemed that she hadn't heard Artemia's words. 

''I'll take care of this one. You should take care of the remaining one.'' Alex announced before kicking against the ground. 

Looking at the puny existence running toward him, the ogre snorted with disdain before raising its club.

However, the Ogre didn't know the existence that was Alex. If it had known Alex's ability, rather than not taking any serious countermeasures, it would have swung its club with all its strength from the very beginning. However, opposite to its physical ability, its intelligence was low. It had decided that Alex was an insignificant being based on his appearance alone.

''Raaaaaarh!"

The club swung down with the momentum as if to destroy everything it touched. It was a single attack with no thought put into technique, only a brute strength. However, the attack that was made with only physical strength hid a violently destructive force.

Yes, that was if it hit.

''Such an attack is obvious! Compared to that two-headed ogre, you are nothing.''

 Jumping back, Alex provoked the Ogre with his eyes and words as the club made a small crater in the ground.

Although the Ogre couldn't understand human words, it could still fully understand the malicious intent against it.

Yes, the diminutive creature that was only up to its knees was disrespecting it. How infuriating. I shall crush his skull on the ground.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" (A/N: Die you bug.)

As a simple Ogre, it went berserk at Alex's cheap provocation, raising its club again and smashing into the ground with increasing anger.

However, such an attack could never land on Alex; moving to the side, Alex dodged the mighty blow before aiming Silveria at the monster's unguarded knee and fired. 

''Phantom Bullet''

BANG! 

Crack! 

The ogre kneecap broke. 

''GAAAAAAAAAA!'' 

The ogre wailed of pain; he almost dropped its club, then came the second attack. 

BANG! 

Crack! 

The remaining kneecap got broken by another phantom bullet. 

''Gugiahhhhh!" 

This time the ogre wail shook the whole forest sending the second ogre into a frenzy. 

Pouring a little bit of MP into Sleipnir, Alex felt the change, this time more clearly, his knife elongated; he felt like he wasn't standing on the ground. 

Knowing that his MP was draining faster, Alex moved. 

Swoosh! 

He disappeared, and when he reappeared again, he had at the back of the ogre with his knife sheathed and then, 

Thud! 

The ogre's head fell into the ground shortly followed by its body. 

''Amazing. I have never seen someone perfectly handle Sleipnir as you did. It almost one jealous.'' Artemia, who was not participating in the fight, praised Alex after seeing him making good use of Sleipnir. 

After collecting the body of the dead ogre, Alex joined Artemia to watch Isabella fight.

Dodging the ogre that had become reckless after seeing his brother died, Isabella lowered her head and muttered something. 

Isabella was astonished to see Isabella's speed increase all of a sudden. 

?It seems that this girl also a boot similar to yours, master.?Silveria, who was silent since the start, finally spoke. 

Alex nodded while watching Isabella ran across the ground and leaped into the air with two steps. At a height over 5 m, the figure of Isabella could be seen above the head of the Ogre.

''Gaa~!?''

''Haaa!'' Isabella shouted.

As expected, maybe noticing the enemy at the same height as its line of sight, as Isabella swung the spear in her hands at its head, the Ogre almost simultaneously raised its club.

However,

?GA!??

Isabella's spear wasn't normal; its weight got increased. Currently, it weighed over 100kg. Adding to that was Isabella's momentum. Moreover, for the magic empowered spear, cutting through the club, which was basically a tree, was met with no resistance. The blade approached the head of the Ogre; however, because of its survival instincts, though it moved back, causing a massive wound to be torn into its chest, the attack didn't kill it.

''Gugiaahhhhh!" 

''Tch!" 

Isabella clicked her tongue in annoyance as she landed on the other side. 

''Isabella used the new skill she acquired after a painstaking training,'' Artemia explained. 

Alex couldn't only smile bitterly as he knew why Isabella trained so hard. It was in the hope of fighting him and maybe win. 

?Well, it's a good thing she stopped provoking you. If not, her pride would have been crushed after seeing you beat her even under her gravity magic. I never expected that little girl to be an Earth Elementalist. I thought she was only Water elementalist.?

To Silveria's words, Alex responded, 'Maybe, she just recently awakened the Earth element like Leon.' 

?Maybe. Oh! It's about to end.?

As Silveria said, the fight was about to end. 

After receiving such a deep wound from the puny human, the injured ogre became enraged and started to swing its club recklessly. 

Dodging the blows, Isabella launched an attack. 

''Water Snake!" 

Isabella's spear was transformed into a huge spear that tore through the ogre's club before piercing the latter chest. The right side of the ogre was utterly gone. It's died with his eyes wide open; he couldn't believe that they couldn't claim a single life before being killed. How unbefitting of Kings of the forest. 

Thud! 

The lifeless body of the second ogre fell to the ground. 

Meanwhile, Isabella could be seen on her knees, panting hard. That last move had taken a lot of MP; however, it was worth it. 

''That was a nice fight.'' 

Alex, who was approaching Isabella, praised her.
