Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 279 - 274: Twentieth Floor

''How long the seals holding the guardian beast will last?" Alex asked Artemia after she exposed Elseria true identity. This was the real question he meant to ask because knowing how much time he had left would help him prepare for the final showdown.

''3 years, five at the most.'' 

With a heavy feeling, Artemia told Alex the truth; he couldn't help but sigh as they didn't have much time left.

''I need to gain strength as quickly as possible,'' Alex muttered. 

''Let's finish this mission quickly,'' Artemia said as she stood up and went to wake Isabella up.

While observing Artemia help Isabella stand up, Alex wondered. 

'What floor is this?' 

?It's the twentieth floor. ?

Unexpectedly, Silveria got the answer to his question.

'How do you know?' Alex immediately asked back as he was curious about how Silveria knows on which floor they were. 

?I read the magic flow. It will take too much time to explain, so I'll pass. Just know that this is the twentieth floor. Also, the deeper you descent, the harder it will be for me to identify which floor you're on. I hope you will not use another teleportation scroll.?

'I don't think she has so many teleportation scrolls on her. Let's hope we will not have to use another one again. We must get stronger, stronger enough to face that Elder Lich. Hopefully, we will not have to fight against those who gave the Lich orders.' 

?Hopefully.?Silveria also said after hearing her master's words. 

'There is something I'm curious about?' 

Alex, who was silently walking ahead of Artemia and Isabell, suddenly said. 

?What are you curious about??Silveria asked back.

'I wonder how who is behind that skeleton, I mean Elder Lich? And how does that person know what Artemia is after?' 

To Alex's questions, Silveria stayed silent for a while before answering.

?I also found it weird when that monster appeared. The person behind the Lich must know about Artemia past. It is to say, there's a traitor. Maybe it's one of their past comrades that didn't really fall as they thought. Well, in any case, better be vigilant.?

'I will. I wonder how the girls are doing on the other side?' 

Alex couldn't help but think about Maria and others. 

Just as Alex and Silveria were about to continue their conversation, they were forced to stop because not too far from Alex's position was a goblin holding a club; however, it wasn't what makes Alex paused in his steps, there was something unusual about this goblin, and he couldn't quite put his finger on it, it was why he didn't immediately initiate an attack. 

However, not everyone was patient as Alex. Due to what happened on the previous floor, Isabella was frustrated, and when she saw that lone goblin standing in their way, she sprints toward it to kill it in one blow, this way, she could vent some of her frustrations.

Seeing Isabella coming toward it, the monster that looked like a goblin also sprinted toward her with her club raised high; the two would clash soon. 

Suddenly, Alex remembered something, so he quickly cried. 

''It's not a goblin, it's a Spriggan.'' 

Artemia, who was next to Alex, was the first to react to his voice. She went forward with her glaives. 

''Isabella, fall back,'' Artemia shouted; she was too lost in thought to be able to identify this monster immediately.

Artemia's warning was few seconds too late. 

A green wall suddenly spread in front of Isabella, who had t to stab out with her spear.

No, it wasn't a wall. It was a gigantic figure 5 m tall.

Spriggan. In its normal form, it was easy to mistake it for a Goblin. But when it fought, it would reveal its true nature as a Giant. It was a monster with two figures, a giant and an ugly midget. It was a kind of Giant, but it was an extremely heinous and ferocious monster that like to eat the flesh of humans or creatures with low intelligence. 

Classified as a B rank monster, it possesses a tough skin that normal weapons couldn't penetrate. The only good point about this monster was it couldn't use magic like the real giant in history.

Somehow, at the same time, the spriggan body enlarged, its club also turned big. 

Unlike the tree that the Ogre had directly pulled out from the ground, the tip had been worked on heavily to cause great damage on hitting the enemy.

The club swung down towards the surprised Isabella.

Gakin~!

Artemia threw one of her glaives covered in lightning toward the huge club; her glaive struck the tip of the club, forcibly changing its trajectory before it had swung down. 

With Artemia intervention, Isabella recovered from her shock; she jumped back to put some distance between herself and this monster. 

Before the monster could recover its club and swing it again, Alex moved. Pouring a little bit of MP into Sleipnir, enough for Sleipnir to launch him into the sky. 

Alex appeared above the spriggan. Annoyed because Alex was flying towards him like a bug, the spriggan freed one of his arms and used it to whack Alex away. 

However, like a monkey, Alex slipped past that hand and appeared behind the monster head. Before the latter could turn around, it was forced to defend against Artemia attack. Using this opportunity, Alex, free-falling, aimed Silveria at the back of the spriggan head and shot. 

''Phantom Bullet.'' 

BANG! 

Half of the spriggan head was gone under Alex's phantom bullet. 

At the same time he landed, the monster body was falling towards the ground. 

''Quick as always. You don't even let me kill anything.'' Artemia joked when she saw that Alex had killed another monster in one blow. 

Alex let out a small chuckle before calling out his status. He just levelled up after slaying this monster, as expected of B Rank monster; it gave him plenty of Exp.
