Death Guns In Another World

Alex fell on the ground face, his left arm was gone, sliced off by the frozen Shadow General (now broken in pieces) when they were passing each other, at that time Alex shooted an Ice bullet into the monster mouth.

Silveria was surprised at how the match ended, suddenly, her expression changed, looking in a certain direction she couldn't help but smile.

''It's about to get interesting.'' She murmured before her presence receded as if she was not present. 

Unaware of what happened Alex rested for a moment before crawling toward his severed arm before connecting it back. His regenerative ability kicked in mending the severed flesh and connecting the bones and muscles, everything happened so fast that in few minutes his severed arm was good as new. 

Alex sat cross-legged, he decided to think about the previous fight. 

It happened at that moment, a sudden voice could be heard.

''You have taken good care of my children while I was busy dealing with something. You deserve a prize don't you think?" 

The voice icily asked.

This voice was so cold that Alex felt a chill crawling up his spine and his face turned ashen. Just from the voice alone, he knew that the other party was not a pushover. 

''Well. There's nothing I want. Oh! Yes, I want your head as you are the big boss here. I can take it myself so no I don't want your prize as I will take everything once I kill you.'' Alex replied arrogantly, even though he was scared of this unseen enemy it was not a reason to cower if he were to cower now, the other party will win this round. This is a physiological war.

In the sky, Silveria couldn't help but chuckle as she found her master's words amusing. 

On the other hand, the owner of the voice was not offended by Alex's words, on the contrary, he was amused. 

''Oh?! That's some confidence you have there. Well, you are not half bad.'' said the voice, still cold as ever. 

'Half bad huh?! Let's see how good you are.' Alex murmured.

The voice continued by adding, ''In your current, you won't even serve as sparring partner, therefore I will let you recuperate. Let's fight tomorrow. I wish you a good rest.'' 

The voice disappeared after leaving those words behind. Alex nodded before letting himself fall on the ground staring at the pitch black and white sky. He was neither offended nor furious at the voice owner's words. From the voice's owner's words, you can see how confident he was in dealing with Alex in top condition. 

'I wonder how strong this person is.' Alex asked eyes, curious about the other party's strength. This fight was about to get exciting as unlike the other monsters this one seemed to be intelligent. 

As he ruminated on how strong the other party would, Alex lost track of time. 

....

 At the same time somewhere in the depth of the black forest stood a simple cottage, sitting on a black throne in this cottage was a man with tall stature, his features couldn't be seen due to the darkness that enveloped the whole cottage. 

The tall man heaved a sigh, strangely his voice resembled that of the man that spoke to Alex earlier. 

''To think after being caught and sealed for many years I would wake to find out that our purpose is to serve as a training dummy for some brat. How ironic. It's sin to be weak as you don't get to decide what to do with your life. It is the privilege of the strong to decide what you are worth, your fate. I want to know how things are in the current world. Did we win?'' The tall man wondered before adding with a sinister tone.

''For this, tomorrow's plan must not fail. I was fearing that person would be here monitoring that brat, however, from what I see it was not the case. That person didn't even intervene when the boy almost dies. There is the possibility that she may have hidden her presence but I would have known if it was the case because the current her is weak compared to her past self, not even half percent of her past self. I have a chance to complete my goal. The boy is the perfect opportunity to execute it. I will be free, roam the outside, and do as I wish. She can't do anything if everything works perfectly tomorrow. I could have acted when the boy is injured, however, that would have dropped the chance of completing the ritual. Hyahyahyahya! Freedom will be mine tomorrow.'' 

While the tall man was laughing while imagining himself succeeding in whatever he had prepared unaware that someone was listening to everything he just said. 

Chuckling Silveria couldn't help but pity the fool. Even if she was not what she has been, it doesn't mean that she has lost her wits. So there was no way she had not anticipated this lowly bug plot for freedom. This is her world, a world she governed, everything ongoing in this world was known to her whether she was weakened or not. So, the tall man little scheme was vowed to never succeed. He thought Alex's status was weak, not worth getting angry over in the case something were to happen to him, how wrong this thinking is if only the tall man knew.

''Let's him dream all he wants when he wakes up he would find out why dreams are called dreams, not reality. That not everyone has the mean to accomplish their dreams.'' Silveria said before turning to watch her master. 

Unknowingly, he had fallen asleep while thinking about tomorrow's fight. It couldn't be helped he was tired after that intense battle, not only physically but also mentally. 

Spending an extended period in this monochrome world can mentally exhaust one's mind. The reason Silveria let her master experience this world was to prepare him for any eventually. He will start dungeon diving soon, dungeons are like a different world with a lot of unusual landscapes better be prepared in the case that you are thrown into an unusual environment such as this one.

''Let's hope everything goes well tomorrow. I won't need to intervene.'' Silveria whispered before flicking her fingers, a blanket appeared out of thin air and was put on the sleeping Alex.
