Death Guns In Another World



A/N: Check out my new novel: Players Era: The System.

°°°

In a wilderness somewhere was an army, not a part of an army marching forward.

Black fog filled the wilderness.

The entire cavalry had formed a formation to charge forward.

Alex followed behind the cavalry unit, slowly running after them.

—–this couldn't be helped, he was a temporary addition to the troops, forced to enter combat without being granted proper equipment or even a horse.

Suddenly, the Silveria spoke up,

〖Alex, maybe you should take this chance to leave the troops.〗

Alex shook his head: "Just as you've said, this world's rules focus solely on individual identity. If I become a 'deserter', that would only make me fall lower in the world's ranking, bringing me closer to danger"

"——-that's why I can't become a 'deserter. Unlike that man who has become a commander I'm but nothing but a foot soldier. I need to follow the rules in order to survive. He must have thought I can't endure and try deserting, as he would easily win this round but unfortunately for him, it won't go as he intended.''

Like Alex has said, Kade now general was hoping Alex wouldn't be unable to endure and escape, he would then capture him and torture him as he wished.

The cavalry troops moved extremely quickly, so during the time that Alex spoke with the Silveria, the entire squad had already traveled more than 500 meters.

After a few more dozen seconds of running, the area up ahead had become open, leaving the area of the black fog.

Alex was glad, jumped out from the back of the formation, and landed ahead of them, observing their surroundings.

Only to find that it was a vast desolate field.

Tombstones lined up one after another, filling every inch of space upon this vast field.

The tombstones weren't all of the same shapes and sizes, some extremely tall, some very short, a particularly huge tombstone could be even higher compared to the capital city's bell tower, while some of the smaller ones were around the size of a human grave.

Past this vast field of tombstones, at the very end of their visions stood a gigantic broken ship.

While Alex was feeling curious, he noticed that some of the dirt at the border of the graveyard began to loosen.

Skeletons began to crawl out from below.

They wielded tattered wooden shields and weapons as they slowly marched toward the cavalry forces one by one.

Alex's gaze became focused.

Skeletons…

Such low-ranking monsters are being pitted against a squad of well-armed cavalrymen?

At this point, the cavalry captain at the forefront of the formation turned around and looked at him.

He had no horse, nor weapon suitable for a cavalry unit, only a pair of gauntlets.

The cavalry captain said: "Then—— Alex, you don't need to charge forward, you don't even know how to ride a horse yet!"

"Ah, yes! Yes sir!" Alex Shan hurriedly answered.

The other cavalrymen laughed amicably.

"Newcomer, go back to training first before you return to the battlefield!" someone called out.

"Silence!"

The cavalry captain silenced them all, then raised his voice.

"Brace yourselves, alter formation, face the enemy!"

The cavalry squad changed from a defensive formation to an offensive one.

All their horses slowly accelerated, preparing to attack.

〖Those weaklings know nothing.〗Silveria was in a bad mood, apparently annoyed with the other soldiers' behavior toward her man.

Alex smiled unbothered, he then looked ahead.

The cavalry all raised their long-handled weapons.

Closer, closer——

In just a few moments, the foremost cavalrymen had already sped up to their limits.

"Kill!"

The cavalrymen all uttered a battle cry.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

Within the dusty landscape, the cavalry clashed against the skeletons.

Like taking candy from a baby.

The skeletons were dismantled at once.

The few that managed to slip through their weapons were then knocked down by the horses, then crushed under them.

The cavalry captain laughed: "Ahahaha, feeble undead monsters. You dared take our charge head-on, such foolish ignorance!"

The cavalrymen all cheered.

Suddenly, a voice resounded from the depths of the tomb.

[Early celebration is usually a sign of defeat.]

Alex's expression changed.

This voice held a power in his voice.

"Everyone be careful, that's an especially powerful monster!"

Alex loudly told everyone.

But it was already too late, as the voice resounded again:

「 Mortals, the sins you committed shall be returned to yourselves, while those you slay shall heed a new beginning 」

This sounded like an incantation of some sort, and before the cavalrymen even managed to react, the situation had changed——

From the void of space, a wide waterfall of light manifested.

The cavalrymen that attacked the skeletons were enveloped within this waterfall of light.

From inside the light, a voice called out:

"Brace yourselves, alter formation, face the enemy!"

Dozens of voices responded at once: "Kill!"

This was the cavalry troop's command and battle cry earlier!

Instantly, several blurry figures appeared from the light, charging straight towards the cavalry.

Attack!

With the resounding sound of horse gallops, the figures approached them increasingly closer.

"That's my shadow!" a soldier called out in shock.

"I can see myself, why is this happening!?" Another soldier shouted.

"Don't panic, prepare your defenses!" the cavalry captain loudly declared.

The cavalry hurriedly took their defensive formation.

But it was useless——-

The blurred shadows created by the light charged forward without being obstructed, piercing through all of their bodies.

Death!!!

Blood spilled into the air, and severed arms and legs flew all over.

The entire cavalry troops were destroyed by this attack.

—–just as the skeletons had been earlier.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!

Strong wind began to pick up, howling with the surrounding snow!

All living creatures were completely dismantled by the light, turning into blood and bones, scattering in all directions.

While the crushed skeletons once again reformed their bodies and became animated.

Alex opened his eyes wide, observing this unbelievable scene.

Suddenly, a flash of red flew towards Alex, leaving a blood mark on his face.

He didn't avoid this.

——it was the blood from one of the cavalrymen earlier.

Just a few moments ago, he was still a living, breathing person.

Regretfully, facing this eerie power, all of his efforts had shown themselves to be utterly futile.

Alex sighed, then wiped the blood from his face and looked at it.

What kind of ability is this monster's attack supposed to be?

Could it be that anyone's attack would be reflected onto their bodies?

'How am I supposed to fight that!?'

Suddenly, a pair of hands filled with spikes reached out from the void of space, clutching Alex's neck out of nowhere.

The monster spoke full of killing intent: 「 You mortal, I will—— 」

Its voice was suddenly cut off.

Alex was still being clutched, unable to move.

"Come on, kill me!"

He provoked the monster, then reached his gauntlet-protected hand out to snap a piece of spike from the monster's hand.

At the same time, another provocative sound resounded from the void of space.

Xiu! Wu wu!

The monster abruptly looked up, but the 'wu wu' sound had already disappeared, no matter what kind of clairvoyance it tried to use, it couldn't discover the other party.

A moment of silence.

From the void of space, a furious roar resounded: [Stop, I order you to stop.]

It threw Alex away.

Alex flew several dozen meters before landing without issues.

He was about to say something else, when the pair of spiky hands turned in mid-air, and waved them towards the tombstones.

「 Slumbering seeds under the ground, it is time for you to awaken 」the monster recited with a highly raised voice.

Instantly, the entire vast graveyard began to move.

Even the largest tomb the size of a bell tower began to break in half.

Having seen this, Alex didn't say anything else and ran away.

The monster laughed in a low voice: 「 You won't escape, this entire world shall face the fate of destruction, let alone a mere mortal like yourself 」

Alex ignored that.

He was running as fast as he could back to where he came from.

Hurry!

I need to be quicker!

Even quicker!!!

The monsters are all about to be resurrected!

This thing was really strong to the point Alex thought maybe it was Bahamut's clone in disguise but he was not sure. He had to escape first. Not only did he get a low rank in the army, but somehow the rules of this world seemed to have been overwritten and his strength limited.

Previously, he had sent some part of the Heaven Soaring Shuttle, some shards in the sky, to hide in the clouds just in case. It was what he used to make a diversion upon getting caught. The shards flew while letting slip a bit of spiritual force (SE), the monster must have thought it was an enemy hiding and looking down on the latter because he hadn't felt his presence beforehand.

And as a powerful monster, it couldn't tolerate this thus tossing the weak mortal to the side to focus on this unknown enemy.
