Death Guns In Another World

Number 5's claws extended outwards like spears, his claw spears met the whips of light.

The whips dimmed down and turned translucent when his claws made contact, his claws went through the whips like a mirage.

His attack hit nothing, that's what it felt like when the dim whips lit up again. This time, he could hear something slicing through the wind, the new attack expanded in his vision.

A sense of danger rang within him and he instinctively used the momentum generated by flailing his tail to weave down, dodging the incoming wings of light.

Boom!

The whips missed him and crashed against the ground, creating a crater that was one meter wide.

Number 5 finally recognized the attribute of the whips of light. They can be materialized and de-materialized at the caster's will.

"Damn, you failed product."

He cursed in frustration.

''You and your petty tricks!"

"Tricks?"

Alice's face was still cold like ice as she looked down at a sour Number 5 from above.

The wings of light moved again, but, Alice didn't send the wings after him.

Instead, her wings bent into a shape that looked like spider legs grew out from behind her. The wings were pointed at Number 5.

The tips of the wing lit up as small concentrated balls of light grew in volume and luminosity.

The balls of light shook one time and immediately afterward, lasers were shot out.

Because they have a certain space lock property, he was unable to fly and became like a fish out of water, Alice forced him to go into the defensive. He could see that if this keeps going, he was going to die from a fight of attrition.

He must find a way to get close to her without being affected by this weird mutated element.

Number 5 suppressed the anxiety within him and he smacked the lasers to the side like he was swatting flies.

Alice was unperturbed as she pointed at him and she rained down a rain of laser bolts.

Suddenly, he got an idea, Number 5 anchored his foot behind him and he started swiping at the air, unleashing a torrent of dark claw beams.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lasers and claw beams met and canceled each other out. After a cloud of dust got stirred into the air, visibility reduced between the two duelists.

Kuina was watching the show, currently, she was wearing black sunglasses.

Number 5 saw this chance and he silently muttered.

"You are mine!"

Roar!

Responding to his bestial shout, his chaos energy rippled across his body.

With a mighty swipe of his arms, his arms turned brilliantly dark as he merged with his claw beam to quickly travel across the distance between the two fighters. Ignoring the dust storm, the distance, and time, he appeared in front of Alice in an instant as if he had teleported.

Alice's pupils shrunk.

And Number 5 saw this as his victory and he chuckled.

"Die!"

With another howl, his chaos aura condensed in his claws, it extended to a gnarly length.

He smashed that attack into Alice's chest.

She watched the claw attack as time slowed around her. That charged attack was reflected in Alice's eyes.

Fswoosh! Fswoosh!

The wings of light behind him also combined to form a giant sword of light, the sword of light was willed by her to meet the giant dark claw attack.

BOOM!

A thunderous boom echoed out and a shockwave unlike any other shook the ground, blasting rocks to dust and fissuring the immediate vicinity in a tsunami of rubble.

Dust rained down over the land.

As a wave of dust reverberated outwards, the two fighters could no longer be seen.

Kuina released a bit of her aura blowing the dust away, her augmented vision kept track of the two.

Soon, one could see only a giant crater at the center of the fight, a testament to the desolation brought upon this place.

Meanwhile, Alice and Number 5 emerged from the chaotic scene as they wrestled for supremacy with their weapons, claws of darkness, and a sword of light. They pressed against each other while sparks flew off their weapons.

"Arghhh!"

He groaned while putting more weight behind his claws. He wanted to blow away the sword of light in front of him. Like an unbreakable wall, the sword of light resisted. Then, the wings unfurled slightly.

BANG!

The resulting force was transmitted into Marcus through his claws, staggering him even when he was in purgatory form.

"Bastard!"

Number 5 yelled when he fell back down on the ground. Angered by his ineffective attack, he raged on while Alice unleashed another wave of attack, this time, in the form of two giant walls of light that crashed down upon him.

Number 5's expression changed and he quickly jumped back as the wall missed him by just that much. When the walls plowed through the ground, it left deep gorges that canceled out the potholes from before.

After this attack, the wings of light fluttered around Alice, making her look like a spider that's weaving a web of light and lasers. This fight looked like the fight of a certain someone.

The formless wings behind him took the shape of a giant pair of wings.

Fwoosh!

The wings of light expanded outwards, and without using teleportation spells or any other supernatural powers, the wings arrived near Number 5.

Then, one of the wings sliced down at Number 5 like a sharp knife.

Bang!

The wing made contact with Number 5's claw, however, he managed to block in time.

But, this wasn't the end as Alice was just getting started.

The other wing smacked at him, blowing away the surrounding air with a heated explosive gust that made the temperature inside them to an alarming degree. If this attack were to hit Number 5, he was going to be seriously injured.

He steeled himself up as he used his brawny reptilian arm to take the brunt of the wing attack.

Boom! Boom!

Claws met wings as the two collided in a storm of sparks and booms. The barrier trembled with the shockwaves emitted from the brutal exchange of attacks.

Number 5 used his strength to resist, he felt like he was a meat patty squeezed between two incredibly hard buns. He endured the wing attacks as the scales on his face and arms stood up due to his exertion.

As he struggled with a dark look, his anger clouded his vision. He couldn't see the source of this trapping attack, he couldn't see Alice preparing her next attack. Her form had changed and she was chanting a strange incantation.

''Huh? She can use an incantation? This lost magic?" Kuina was shocked, almost standing because of curiosity. One should know that nowadays incantations have disappeared and been replaced by a new magic system where you can directly cast your magic without needing to use incantation, at the beginning it was called chantless magic but not anymore as everyone adopted this new system renamed true magic, superpower if you want. Slowly, people discarded incantation in exchange for this new system, incantations disappeared even when they were extremely powerful, more than the current magic, the problem is the time it takes to finish an incantation, you will be vulnerable before a swordsman this lead to people creating the new system. However, they're some people capable of using incantations, although extremely rare. Alice seemed to be one of them.

''So you also one, huh!'' Kuina mumbled while paying more attention to the ongoing fight, she was curious about what beast Alice would summon through her incantation, however, she had to act faster because the enemy had started to regain his view.

As if to respond to this Alice with optimal speed, started chanting magical words of power that saw her voice go low and high-pitch. Soon, her verses conjured a magic circle that was as tall as her, the formation expanded and contracted menacingly.

"Ancient Summoning!"

Crack!

It sounded like something broke as the verses weaved together and the formation lit up brightly. A black spot appeared at the center of the magic formation, then, it spread across the formation rapidly.

The formation started cracking as fissures appeared, like a web of darkness, it covered the magic formation. The aura of a vicious beast crept into existence from beyond the dark fissures. It was like there was a chained beast sealed behind the magic formation.

Under Alice's command, the beast within the formation opened its savage maw.

Through the broken magic formation, a sound came from beyond this realm, the beast's huge fangs could be seen through the magic formation.

Number 5 who was still struggling to free himself experienced a sense of dread unlike any other, it was like his body and mind told him to run away now. His expression turned grave because of the next moment.

"Dragon Breath."

The phantasmal casting voice entered Number 5's ears just as his internal alarm went off. He looked up and saw what Alice was doing. He knew he was in for a deep shit.
