Death Guns In Another World

"What a magnificent tower."

Selena exclaimed in awe as she ascended the spotlessly white flight of stairs. Alice, on the other hand, remained silent, but it was apparent from her expression that she agreed with her. After all, in this world it was the dream of almost every Mages to own a Mage Tower. It wasn't as simple as just coalescing powers, but it also represented the Mage's glory and destiny.

Shortly after, both of them arrived at the vast hall on the highest floor of the tower. Picturesque scenes could be viewed in all directions. The chilly breeze blew, but instantly vanished as soon as they struck the magical barrier. They lifted their heads and saw the patterns representing the wind and fire elements on the semicircular dome. The entire hall looked unfrequented. Alex couldn't be blamed because the simple decorations were all that he could afford for now. If he were to decorate them completely, he wouldn't be left with much money. If the cost of constructing the Holy Statues was ranked the third in his most spendings in this territory, the renovation of this Spell Tower would definitely be the first. In fact, the constructions of simple walls and exquisite decorations wasn't expensive. It was the magic botanical garden, various alchemy and magical devices, defense enchanted field, Mithril Library and such that were the most costly.

"You're here."

Cecilia stood in the middle and turned to the two young ladies with a smile. Alice nodded in response while Selena stood nervously in attention. She frantically presented a solemn, Mage bow.

"G-Greetings, Mage Cecilia. It… It is my honor to be invited to your Mage Tower. I'm Selena Gallion, an Elemental Mage from the Mage Association. I…"

"Relax, Selena."

Vecil6 said gently. "Don't be nervous. I'm about the same age as you. You can call me by my name just like Miss Alice."

"Yes… Miss Cecilia." Selena said in a trembling voice, but Cecilia's peaceful tone calmed her down.

Selena lifted her head and scanned the young lady curiously. Indeed, she appeared like her age. But there was an obvious difference between them: the surging wave of magical powers in the Saint Realm closer to the Demigod realm.

Selena had heard the rumors about Cecilia before arriving at here. But she didn't take them seriously. She was the up and rising star of the Mage Association. Even though she wasn't as outstanding as Alice, she also held the pride and confidence that an impressive star should have. She believed that the rumors were exaggerated. She knew how challenging it was for ordinary humans to break through this realm so easily . Even though Alice was more talented than her, wasn't she only in Grandmaster Realm? If someone that young defied the rules and transcended into this realm, why didn't she heard of it before?

After arriving her, Cecilia most of the time had been busy with the Mage Tower construction. It was Selena's first time meeting Cecilia and Maggie during the meeting today.

But just this one time was enough.

Selena sensed the dense, over-the-charts energy exuding from the two and her world has as though crumbled entirely. What surprised her further was that Cecilia was a Self-taught Mage!

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm In that instant, Selena felt as though the title that she received in the Mage Association was not worthy at all. Standing before the true talent, she was nothing more than a beggar. Selena felt uncomfortable as her previous contempt and newly-gained reverence toward her were mashed together.

Alice let out a chuckle. She knew what was going through Selena's mind. In fact, she also held such thoughts about Cecilia when they first met.But she had gotten used to it as time passed. She realized that there was nothing she couldn't accept as long as she had an open mind.

''Alex has reached the borders and it's up to us next."

Cecilia beckoned to Alice and Selena. They weren't here to simply observe the Mage Tower. Instead, they were assisting her in casting detection spells. Mages could use this spell like activating the satellite radar, which could explore other areas. But it wouldn't be effective on areas with stronger magical spell resistance. In fact, she had also detected numerous occasions when the enemies investigated their territory. But there was a limit to the undead's detection spell, after all, and under the Holy Statues' enchanted field, Cecilia easily shattered them. And now, she had decided to respond in kind.

"I need both of your powers. Please stand here."

Cecilia pointed. Alice and Selena spotted the silver-whitish ritual triangle emanating a faint, glorious radiance. There were circles on the three pointed edges, which were for their positions. Apart from this, there was also the most glaring eye symbol in the middle and circular, mysterious runes hovering around it. Selena shrieked in astonishment.

"T-This is the Occult Field?"

"That's right."

Cecilia nodded without any changes in her expression. Selena was overwhelmed. She knew clearly that the Occult Field was an ancient, combined spell used by Mages. It could perfectly merge all the Mages' powers involved and the might would be much stronger than an ordinary spell. But Selena was also aware that the Occult Field had vanished in history after the last War. The Grand Mages in the Mage Association had spent centuries and only recovered one-tenth of it. If Selena wasn't fortunate enough to become one of the Grand Mage's disciples and saw data regarding the Occult Field, perhaps she wouldn't have imagined seeing a perfect Occult Field here!

Selena was sure that if she told this matter to her teacher, perhaps her teacher and the other Grand Mages would flock their way here to see it even if the end of the world was before them. But…

"B-But, Miss. Cecilia, the activation of the Occult Field should require 10 members if I recall correctly…"

"We don't need that strong of a spell at the moment. Besides, we don't have enough manpower too. This is why I've simplified it, so the three of us will be enough."lightsnovel

'Simplified it'

Selena was rooted in her place.

Shortly after, the three young ladies stood in their positions while facing the triangle. Selena was nervous. Alice put up a solemn expression while Cecilia maintained her smile.

"Don't worry, I will use my powers as a guide. The eyes of the storm will be used to detect secrets. The powers of the flames will be used to maintain defense. Miss Alice, you'll be in charge of the earth protection. Miss. Selena, I'll leave the snow protection to you."

"Y-Yes…! Miss Cecilia!"

Selena responded hurriedly as though a student called out by her form teacher. Then, she realized that she was behaving overly nervous. She shook her head before nodding firmly.

"Leave it to me, Miss Cecilia."

"Alright then, let's begin."

Cecilia raised her arms forward and the other two young ladies followed suit. They chanted in harmony and shortly after, a whizzing snow storm emerged in the magic image displayed before them.

The strong snow storm whistled.

She opened her eyes. The snowy scene as though taken from an aerial camera slowly advanced forward, which they eventually entered the pitch-black territory.

"Argh…"

Selena gritted her teeth. Even though she was only responsible for casting a snow spell to conceal the presence of magic to prevent enemy detection, she instantly felt an evil, dark energy after they crossed the Dali Kingdom' border. The ice-cold chills numbed her fingertips.

Light turned into darkness.

In the blink of an eye, an endless sea of Undead Creatures emerged and filled the entire magic image. Cecilia twitched her brow while Alice and Selena held their breaths. This was the first time that they witnessed that many Undead Creatures so clearly. Gazing at this scene alone was enough to leave them in a sense of despair.

Fortunately for them, this scene only lasted for a few seconds as the scene in the magic image moved forward. But it became distorted out of a sudden.

"They detected our presence!"

Selena sensed dark energy piercing through her snowstorm and aiming for their source of power. However, the dark energy crashed onto Alice's defense barrier. Alice instantly turned pale to the immense strength. She ground her teeth and the magical radiance emanating on her hands shimmered increasingly brighter. Cecilia didn't give up. She swiped her right hand and the scene before them instantly spun 180 degrees to scan the situation. Then, pitch-black flames emerged.

"Move back!"

She commanded and the other two young ladies stepped back hurriedly. The surging, powerful dark energy erupted from the magical image. But at this moment, she released a dazzling brilliance from her right hand and instantly subdued it.

"Phew! That's sure nerve wracking."

Cecilia clapped the dust off her hands and let out a sigh of relief.

"We've confirmed the enemy's specific location and destroyed their detection barrier. We'll have to leave it to Alex next."

Cecilia gazed at Alice and Selena with a smile.

"Alright. Time to enjoy some tea don't you two think?"
