Death Guns In Another World

As Silveria had decided to continue the interrogation in Leena's stead, she inquired.

''So at first, you were after the Irregular? What changed to make you go after the boy?" 

''It's because the oracle said we missed our assassination attempt and the Irregular's fate changed and got entwined with someone more dangerous. That we must quickly eliminate the two before they could mature.''

The demon immediately replied fearing the level of pain increasing further if he didn't reply faster.

Both Silveria and Leena nodded their heads before Silveria asked. 

''I do understand that it's because of some sort of oracle you went after the two but why they are considered dangerous in the first place? There must reason for your oracle to consider dangerous in the first place. So, state it.'' 

To Silveria's question, the demon stayed silent until he received another attack from Silveria's little silver dragon.

''It's because they would endanger that person's plans.'' the demon finally answered, when he said this he was smirking inside, he grinned for instant however he quickly concealed it, he thought that nobody had seen it as he waited for the fated question. 

Contrary to his expectations, Silveria saw it, same with Leena, having understood the demon's purpose, Silveria grinned and asked a question completely out of the demon's expectation. 

''How so?" 

Sighing heavily the demon explained,

''It's because they will help that traitorous bitch later. It was stated that in the first place it was that traitor who would have rescued the Irregular after our failed assassination attempt, however, it was that boy who rescued her and their fates got entwined.'' 

Hearing the demon's explanation both girls nodded their heads with a thoughtful expression on their faces. So, even if Alex had not saved Gracier another person would have saved her? The traitor as the demon said, judging by the way he called her, must be a woman. If this mysterious woman had managed to save Gracier, the latter feeling graceful would have helped her in stopping whatever plans 'that person' was hatching because of her limitless talent, she, the Irregular. Having a future Demi-God as helper was indeed a plus and something any enemy would be wary of.

However, it was not the mysterious woman who saved Gracier instead it was Alex, even so, they are still targeted because of the reason sole reason that they would be helping the mysterious woman in the future.

Both Silveria and Leena looked at each other as they were thinking about something, a certain someone. Both girls chuckled as they found this hilarious, normally after the first failed assassination attempt, 'that person' mustn't have tried assassinating Alex and Gracier using the clearing the rampaging monsters as a cover, because oracle or not, this individual whoever it was had brought this upon himself/herself.

Simply because now that Alex and his sister hadn't died, they would want to have their revenge against the culprit of the assassination attempt, by confronting this person, inadvertently they would be helping the mysterious woman even it was not their initial goal. At that moment, 'that person' would come to know that he/she had made a mistake that would be costly. Maybe without this second intervention, Alex and Gracier may help this mysterious woman, however, the chance was slim as Silveria isn't seeing Alex doing this without a reason, maybe he would if this mysterious woman somehow becomes his woman or have some kind of connection with him. However this time without these reasons he would because they tried to assassinate his sister and him included. He will take revenge for sure.

Silveria imagined Alex's reaction as he learned this, she couldn't help but smile. She decided to continue with her interrogation, she had a last question. 

''So, because this person he/she fearing the two helpings that bitch that why he/she sends you to kill the two at the cost of offending the humans?'' 

Leena looks questioningly at Silveria, not immediately catching up on what the latter goal was for asking a question to which they already had the answer.

Even though confused the demon still responded, ''Yeah, that person's plans must not fall-" 

''Indeed, it is must be an impressive plan, that concerns the whole demon's continent, something so grand that he/she must not accept failure as an option. am I wrong?" Silveria cut the demon off and said, her voice was full of praise when she mentioned that person's impressive plan. 

The demon's eyes shined when he heard this, eyes full of reverence he blurted out, 

''Indeed it is as you said, that person, his plans are-" 

Suddenly, the demon's eyes widened as he became aware that he had been tricked, he let slip something he shouldn't have, he looked at Silveria with a look of resentment, the latter grinned and said, ''Thank you, that was my last question.'' 

The demon could only smile bitterly as he was thinking that Silveria would have asked about the identity of that person or what that person's plans were, by doing so, it would have triggered the hidden curse placed inside his heart. Normally, it was these kinds of questions one would ask when interrogating a prisoner, however, Silveria never asked this as if she was not interested. 

How could she not? Far from that, she wants to know however the first she scanned the demon she had seen the curse placed on him, inside his heart. She instantly knew it was done to prevent the individual caught from spilling out something useful. Placing herself in the person behind all of this stead she wondered which questions would I use as keywords that will trigger the hidden curse placed in my men's heart? 

The first question would be: About my real identity, on my background. 

And the second would be about my plans. 

These two questions would be the top priority, they might some other questions but by paying attention not to ask these two questions you will not trigger the hidden curse. 

More importantly, Silveria knew that even the other party forbids his men from telling his real identity, he didn't specify in the curse not to tell his gender because he was more focused on keeping his real identity secret (i.e: I'm the First Prince xxx or the Prime minister yyy and so on) these kinds of information.

Even she may have forgotten to specify it. 

Leena was finally aware why Silveria was asking these kinds of questions earlier, it was just to know that person's gender, even without knowing his real identity, his goals, knowing his gender was not a bad start. She couldn't help but sigh as she finally noticed the curse inside the demon's heart, even so, Leena wasn't sure if she was in Silveria's shoes she wouldn't have inadvertently asked a question that would have blown the demon up.

Smiling like an angel that was about to perform a good action. Silveria started to open her mouth to announce something.

The demon's back was drenched in a cold sweat when he saw that smile, before he could talk, Silveria ordered. 

''Little Silvie please send our guest off, peacefully as you can.'' 

''Better back off and erect a barrier to protect yourself,'' Silveria announced. 

Feeling that something bad was about to happen, Leena quickly erected a green barrier around herself after taking a couple of steps back, Silveria on the other hand had already erected one around herself, Alex, and Gracier. 

Suddenly as if she had finally registered Silveria's order, little Silvie, the small silver lightning dragon who was inside the demon's body made a move.

Immediately, the demon's genes started combusting, and from every pore of his body, dazzling silver beams flashed out. The demon was like a miniature violent silver sun, emitting a threatening might that seemed to want to destroy everything.

''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" 

The demon opened his mouth to emit a sharp cry that was chilling to the soul. It was as if what happening to his body was also happening to his soul. Beside the soul-chilling scream, the demon's body erupted with a bright column of silver light.

Everything happened in a matter of seconds. A period of time that didn't even warrant a mention. 

In a flicker of a second, the demon's body cracked apart and he exploded in a radiant mass of silver energy. 

Boom! 

It shook the region and created a small crater where the demon's body was. 

Both girl's shields were violently shaken, however, they did not break. 

Finally, everything calmed down, a small silver lightning dragon flew and landed on Silveria's hand, the latter caressed it before flicking her fingers, making little Silvie disappear. 

''Be on your way and don't worry. Others will follow soon enough you will not be lonely over there. Those who scheme against my master, trying to kill him or any of his family members deserve a fate worse than death. I've been too lenient. I should have used the Soul Fire on you.'' Silveria spat without any emotions. 

Even though she was not emitting any killing intent nor her words were directed at Leena, the latter still feel a chill running down her spine. Better not become this girl enemy, she thought. 

Silveria spun around and faced Leena, with a smiling face she announced.

''Time to go back. Everything is settled for now. Shall we go?" 

Leena could only sigh seeing how fast Silveria changes expressions, she said while pointing at the barefooted Silveria. 

"Let's go, however first why don't you wear shoes?" 

Finally aware that she was still barefooted, Silveria flicked her fingers and create shoes of the same hue as her white robe. 

After she was done, she helped Leena place Alex and Gracier inside the Magic carriage Leena summoned. This Magic carriage is powered by magic stone and doesn't need horses to pull it. It was like a car but not classy as a real car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Leena started driving the carriage back towards the city. 

Before it was evening they were already in front of the city that was how fast the Magic carriage was. 

Silveria stayed inside the carriage looking after Alex and Gracier, Alex's complexion was looking better however he was not showing any signs of waking up. Gracier had woken up once and after confirming that Alex was okay she falls asleep again. She didn't even ask who Silveria was because she was still sleepy. 

After entering the town, Leena drove them to the Moonlight Inn and after making sure that the two were brought toward their room, Leena left for now because she had some reports to make. Silveria disappeared saying she had something to do.

In the same evening, the adventurers who were gone to clean the monsters in the Zilya's Mountain range came back with huge casualties. However, they managed to slay every monster present there, it was a good thing. New villages would rise soon again and who knows maybe a city or two may be created in the process.

The mission in Zilya's mountain had come to an end.
