Death Guns In Another World



Silveria looked around in a daze. Finally, she noticed Alex's wet clothes and the frigid robes coating her. It didn't take long for her to pin together what had just happened. She languidly shook her head.

"I am fine.'' She declared with a detached expression.

"You don't look fine to me, tough."

Alex bitterly laughed, she was pale as a ghost. He helped her wipe away the water dripping down the side of her head.

"If you're not fine then you should say it. We don't want something to happen later down the road…"

Alex's warm treatment and gentle rubbing made Silveria a bit awkward, she shook her head again.

"I am fine, I just feel cold."

"Cold?!"

Alex gasped because of the unexpected he had just heard, he had by now forgotten the weird feeling he got before they fall into the lake almost as if he had adapted to his current situation.

"You're the Ice Princess, you feel cold?!" 

She is a mage specialized in ice magic, she shouldn't be able to feel cold.

Silveria also noticed her own words. Yet, she feels a freezing chill from the wet clothes on her. She's not hallucinating.

She examined herself much to her horror.

"I can't channel my magic!"

"Huh?!"

Alex jumped back. Silveria doesn't joke around. Hence, he tried to use his magic power.

The boundless magic power within him started churning and flowing like a gentle river. There were even magical booms within him. He's probably the only one in Mysthia who can hold this much magic power within himself.

But, his magic power wouldn't respond no matter how he tried to control it.

He still has magic power but he couldn't use it at all.

Upon noticing this Alex's expression turned dark.

"I know why we suddenly fell, magic usage appears to be sealed here."

Silveria also had the same thought. She nodded without Alex's dark look.

Alex looked up at the verdant sky.

"Are magic power sealed in this area?" He asked while a certain vague memory seemed to flash through his mind but he couldn't recall it no matter how hard he tried, almost as if a thick fog was covering everything making it impossible to see. 

While Alex was busy trying to see through this thick fog as the sentence magic power sealed gave him a weird feeling, Silveria his companion sighed.

''I don't know, others have not said anything about this region being capable of sealing magic power, maybe it's a special zone that appeared recently.''

Alex grimaced after hearing Silveria's words.

"Troubling.''

Without magic power, Alex lost access to a lot of cards in his arsenal. Although he has powerful physics it was still alarming not being able to use his magic power.

"We need to leave as soon as possible."

Silveria hugged Alex's arm, and she advised him with a grave look.

"Without our powers, it will be hard to do anything."

"Can you walk in such a state?"

Silveria started shivering. Her face is also as white as a sheet of paper.

"I don't think you can walk in that state, right?"

"Carry me."

She said with a frigid voice.

"Once we go out of this place, I should be fine."

"We don't even know how big this magic-sealing area is!"

Alex rejected that notion.

"In your current state, you're going to fall sick before we get out of this place. When you're sick I don't think you can fight at full power."

Silveria lowered her head.

Alex also tried to persuade her in a soft tone.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Adjust your mental and physical state, that way you can deal with whatever comes your way. You wouldn't want to lose out on the boons in this named dungeon just because you're rash." 

He frowned as he couldn't remember this named dungeon's name, another weird thing, just as he was about to ponder about the weird feelings he kept having, Silveria finally opened her mouth unable to accept his words.

"But…"

She retorted in a troubled tone.

"What if enemies appear…"

"Relax!"

Alex chortled.

"Magic might be out of the question but I can still fight on Saint level without relying on magic power as I've got powerful physics."

Silveria loosened her expression. Alex's laughed once more.

"Anyway, you should remove them, I mean remove your clothes.''

Although the volume he used to say that line wasn't particularly loud, the silent environment caused his sentence to echo. The mood also sank into freezing temperature.

"…"

Alex and Silveria looked at one another. The guy was grinning while the girl spots an expressionless look. Maybe she was pale because she calmed her freezing blood down, in any case, she stared at him without saying or showing any visible emotions.

A drop of sweat started flowing down the side of Alex's head. His smile also became rigid as time went on.

"…"

Still, Silveria stared at Alex. She hugged her body tighter as if she preferred to have her clothes stick to her. It also looked like she was afraid someone might do something to her clothes. Even her eyes were slightly cautious.

Alex's awkward smile returned to normal after a brief pause.

"If I say I don't have any bad intentions would you believe me?"

"…"

Silveria didn't reply. However, she did cross her arms tighter, which told him what she thought.

Alex's head sagged down in dejection. He pulled away from Silveria.

"I will turn around. Hurry up and change out of those wet clothes."

Alex wanted to turn around but Silveria stopped him with a good question.

"Clothes to change into? Where?"

"…"

Silence greeted them once more.

He said nothing, she said nothing, it feels like they were sent back to the Ice Age, and the mood kept chilling. If a stranger stood here then the stranger would be too scared to move in this awkward mood, right?

Finally, Alex inhaled deeply. He asked just in case.

"You're telling me you didn't bring a change of clothes?"

Silveria didn't give him a direct answer.

"I came to this place to raise my strength.''

Silveria was saying she didn't come here to sightsee, she was here to advance herself along the route of cultivation through chance encounters.

Alex rubbed his aching temples. He bitterly laughed.

"I didn't think trivial matters would bedevil us before the big events…"

Silveria's condition worsened as she trembled harder. She looked as pale as a ghost. She's not far from reaching an enfeebled state where fever and cold will beset her.

"Ugh…"

Alex couldn't believe he has to deal with this situation. He waved his hand.

"You're engaged to me anyway, just lose the clothes." He said those words while feeling weird inside as if something was not right.

'Again!' Alex thought shaking his head.

Meanwhile, the air turned still.

It was obvious to Silveria that Alex was at his wit's end. Her eyes wavered with hesitation.

Engagement, huh?

She recalled the scene where she forcibly kissed him. She took another look at Alex and she sighed silently.

Honestly, she didn't know what she was thinking, there was no way she would do that to another man.

However, she did that to Alex.

Seriously, she still couldn't comprehend why she did that. However, it didn't feel weird to her when she intimately went to first base with Alex.

She's also okay with getting engaged to Alex.

No man has ever had this big a spot in her heart.

She recalled the decision she made after seeing Alex and his entourage of beautiful ladies.

She reckoned that she can always annul the engagement after she booked him.

If she found him to be desirable then she wouldn't mind serving Alex along with the girls around him. Almost as if it was natural for that to happen.

She sifted through the memories they shared. In an instant, Silveria understood one thing.

Excluding the question of suitability and compatibility, he's the closest male acquaintance in her life.

He also touched her body multiple times, a body she rarely touched outside for cleaning purposes. She also gave him her first kiss.

I should accept him.

That thought flashed through her mind. Silveria slowly got up to her feet despite her severe shivers.

"What are you doing?!"

Alex was shocked as he approached her in an annoyed manner.

"If something is bugging you just tell me, I can…"

He couldn't finish his sentence. Silveria did something that utterly stunned him. His eyes bulged while his jaw dropped.

Her water-soaked clothes dropped to the ground in a wet splash. Droplets and dust flew everywhere.

She slowly undressed in a set pattern. The wet sloshing of her soaked garments reverberated.

When she lost the last piece of clothing protecting her dignity, Alex saw an unforgettable scene.

Her white skin dazzled under the green light of this sub-space. Like a precious gem, her ivory legs glistened without any blemish. She looked like an untarnished jade.

Her perky cans defied gravity as they stood proud. Water continued to run down her chiseled collarbones and down her curvy figure. He heard something within his heart.

Alex watched the whole thing unfold. She showed him her secret garden, the places a young lady should keep hidden from public eyes, he saw. His mind went blank.

Under Alex's intense stare, even Silveria couldn't help but blush, however, that was all.

Suddenly she lost her strength after revealing her pristine body. She slowly slumped downwards.
