Death Guns In Another World

After the brutal exchange between her and Rhea, Incursio escaped deeper into the forest. The hole in her abdomen was healing slowly.

''Shit! What to do right now? I can't let myself be caught, or else it would be the end of me.''

She kept running while thinking about a possible solution to overcome her current situation.

Suddenly, Incursio felt goosebumps rising all over her body as alarm bells rang in her heart. She knew even without looking back that a powerful enemy had arrived. In her current state, she could not activate purgatory because most of her energy was being used to treat her injuries quickly.

Incursio slashed at her back with her sword, space was torn apart, and space debris gathered, moving in the direction of Rhea, who suddenly appeared like a ghost, however, the current Rhea looked fundamentally different because her face was devoid of emotion.

The new Rhea stretched her hand and simply crushed Incursio's attack while at the same time she opened her mouth and said.

''Test subject 002, you better come back with us.''

This voice was extremely creepy. Incursio stepped across space to put some distance between them, but she knew it was a futile attempt; as expected, she could not teleport.

''Fuck! To think they would even send a protector.'' Incursio said while looking at Rhea, whose pupils had turned black. A protector was using her body as a medium to manifest here.

Protectors are being only second to Lord Thanos, they rarely move, but today, one of them forcibly took control over Rhea's body just to catch Incursio.

When she saw this protector, Incursio knew she had probably run out of luck. It doesn't go all out. She would get captured, a fate she didn't want. She would do anything to survive.

''Fuck you, My name is not 002, but Incursio, remember that, you fucker.'' Incursio shouted, giving the protector a middle finger.

The protector using Rhea's body frowned, feeling insulted, and she decided to teach Incursio a painful lesson.

Meanwhile, Incursio, who had cursed at the protector to gain precious seconds, used them to drink a high-grade recovery potion.

Boom!

Mana exploded out from Incursio's body; grabbing her sword, she slashed upward; the world seemed to have been split apart. Every single tree in front of her was shredded; black lightning shot out from the sword toward the protector. Everything happened too fast, in the space of one second, yet the protector was still able to react.

Conjuring a dark, sinister sword made entirely of mana, the protector cut Incursio's attack into two before moving forward, and in an instant, she appeared before Incursio.

Clangs! Clangs! Clangs!

The two began moving across the forest, exchanging blows.

'I wish I could be doing what a normal girl does.' Incursio lamented; she longed for a normal life. Even if she couldn't have a normal life, at least she must get caught.

Simultaneously, in the Far East Empire, the girls left the imperial palace and boarded their magic carrier.

''Where are we heading first?" Luna asked the moment they entered the carriage.

''Hum! Let's see, let's go shopping first.'' Maria proposed, and the others nodded.

Shortly they arrived at a big shop and when the customers saw the five girls they were shocked. They were all beautiful.

''Welcome; what can I do for you, beautiful ladies?" The shop owner walked out of the store when he heard the commotion. He immediately identified Saeko and the others.

''Lead the way,'' Maria ordered, ignoring the weird stares they were receiving.

''Certainly, certainly.'' the shop owner nodded and led the way.

The girls entered and were selecting their clothes, trying them on. This went on for two hours before they finished and they left.

Their next stop was a jewelry shop where they selected a few jewels, trying them before they left. Their next stop was the biggest restaurant in the capital.

''It was fun. We should do this often.'' Maria said after they finished eating, and the others couldn't help but nod as they shared the same thought like her.

''How do you know Alex?" Saeko asked this question. Sakuya, Luna, and Maria stared at each other before telling others how they encountered Alex.

''At the beginning, why did none of you ask him to come with you?" Saeko asked; she was curious why Maria and the others did not ask Alex to follow them, nor did they drag him. The other two, aside from Luna, had feelings for him; she could have least tried to make him follow them. Maybe he would have progressed as he did now if she had done that. Still, Saeko wanted to know why they did nothing, why Luna stayed silent.

''It was because I was unsure if he would accept me after listening to my history. I was afraid of what he would do. What if he doesn't remember me? What if he escapes from me after listening to my story? I was filled with a lot of insecurities, so I did nothing.'' Luna explained because she knew Saeko's innocent question was targeting her.

''At that time, Sakuya had no interest in Alex; only Maria and I were interested. Maria approaches him, suggesting that we should meet in the academy. Looking at our story, I'm proud to say it was a nice story. I hope together with you all we will write a wonderful story.'' Luna said, ending her story.

Saeko nodded and began to share her story, how Alex's life since coming to Mysthia helped her, changed her life into what it's today, and for this, she would always be grateful.

''Why are you asking all these questions? Perhaps are you interested in him?" Gracier, who rarely spoke since the beginning, talked; she raised a question.

''No, I'm just curious,'' Saeko responded.

''Careful, this curiosity might turn into something more,'' Sakuya said half-jokingly, but Saeko nodded.

The group continued their date while waiting for Alex to return.

Meanwhile, the fight between Incursio and the protector continued.
