Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 189 - 187: She's A Monster Same As You



Alex couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Leon's behavior. 

His turn was about to come. But Roman will go first. Since the banquet, Roman didn't dare look at Alex in the eyes as if afraid of losing something valuable again. His arrogance had disappeared, he knew that what happened previously was because he was a foul who easily let himself be used. He did resent Alex too much, his father forbade him to try anything against Alex or he will kill him with his own hands if he learned that he did something to Alex.

Shaking his head Roman goes on the stage and touched the assessment stone. 

''Roman Fishburns, Age 17, Level 56, Rank 6, Water Element user.'' 

'Oh! He has progressed.' Alex thought while watching Roman leave the platform. They exchanged a glance, no word was uttered.

Now it was Alex's turn to be assessed, walking on the stage he touched the assessment stone. Leonardo smirked when he saw this as he knew that Alex could not use any Magic. He could not wait to see him get ridiculed. 

''Alexander Kael Touch, Age 17, Level 64, Rank 7, No element.'' 

There was a silence. Before, 

''Eh? No element means he can't use magic?''

someone among the students asked.

''Indeed, however, I'm not concerned by that, he is strong, stronger than the Hero, he's strong as Lionheart crown prince and Foxia's crown princess. As expected of the Eighth the one that easily dispatched Roman Fishburns.''

another one said. Most of the people nodded their heads as they were present that night, the night of the banquet when Roman got beaten up in two moves.

Alex calmly left the scene. Leonardo's face at the moment was ugly, he ground his teeth. He expected Alex to become the laughingstock after the result of his assessment his shown, however, it was not what happened, instead he was praised. Not only this displeased Leonardo but what infuriated him more was Alex was stronger than him. 

'Sigh! Let call down, shall we? No need to get angry over such a small detail. One level doesn't mean he can beat me. I'll beat so hard that his mother won't recognize him after I'm done with him. After that, I'll be the turn of Leon, Damien, and others. I'm the strongest, I'll show them, I'll show you.' Leonardo calmed down and closed his eyes and when he opened them against his eyes were calm, there was no hatred in them, only the assurance in his strength. 

He looked at where Katherina, the second princess was for a moment before closing his eyes again. The last part of his words was destined to Katherina as he had finally noticed like Camilla said, Katherina's interest in Alex after the latter showed his talent. He vowed to destroy that plan as they can never be two captains on the same boat, if Alex was recruited this would mean he and others would lose their place, his goal would never come true. There was no way he was going to tolerate that.

~Back to the stadium. 

It was now the turn of the third princess to go.

Everyone was waiting to see the result of her assessment as she was hailed as a genius, not only she's the most beautiful woman, she's also a genius and extremely likable character, loved by everyone, well, except for her siblings who were afraid of her competing against them for the throne. 

Artemia went on the stage and touched the assessment stone, the stone shined before showing Artemia's result,

''Artemia Eretria Von Havens, Age 18, Level 73, Rank 8, Dual elementalists: Lightning and Water.'' 

Another commotion started. 

''As expected of the second princess. A genius indeed. Already Rank 8 at 18 years, just a little bit and she'll catch up with her sister.'' 

''Lower your voice, do you want to lose your head? The Third princess is present, if she learned what you said who knows what she may do.'' someone chided the one that talked earlier, the latter shut his mouth.

''She's indeed talented to be able to wield both Lighting element and Water element. Alex, do you know that there are different types of Lightning?" Leon suddenly asked while looking at Artemia leaving the stage. 

''I do.'' 

Hearing Alex's response, Leon nodded before continuing, 

''It's good. Let's take for example mine, I use golden type Lightning, extremely fast and destructive, there is another type of Lightning, blood type, more commonly referred to as Red Lightning, this only pure destructive type of Lightning, only my father can use it. Maybe one day I'll be able to, then there is Black lightning, more vicious, after comes the White Lightning, faster type and also destructive but not as the Red and Black Lightning, though. Lastly, there is the Blue type Lightning, the one the Havens Family used, this type of Lightning is not truly destructive, it possesses one special power, the power to heal.''

Alex was surprised when he heard Leon's explanation,

''Lightning capable of healing? I've never heard of it.'' 

Leon chuckled, ''Well, maybe in the past but now you have.''

''Well, there's no need to be surprised hearing that there's a type of Lightning that can Heal, as there's also Fire that can heal even though Fire is considered the most destructive element. Rumor has it that there's a type of fire that not only it can heal, but it can also even resurrect its user or people.' Alex said.

Leon was surprised when he saw that Alex even know that, there's only legend though, he never heard of someone capable of using Fire to heal, not to say resurrect like Phoenix.

Shaking his head Leon continued,

''Imagine that you're facing an enemy who's not only faster-dealing damage but also can heal when you injure him? It's like facing nightmare, they are like cockroaches.'' 

Alex imagined such an enemy and couldn't help but think that indeed such an enemy will be a nightmare. He then looked in Artemia's direction, as if sensing his gaze, she turned into his direction and murmured, 'Let's fight to see who's stronger.' 

Alex smiled, his blood started boiling. 

Unaware of his friend unusual behavior, Leon added, 

''You see, there's a hypothesis that Blue type Lightning user can also use White Lightning making them more dangerous.''

''Isn't it just a rumor?" Alex looked strangely at Leon because the latter tone when he talked was heavy, so he believes that there's more than that to the story. 

As expected Leon's next more confirmed it, 

''Well, it's a rumor at first until she proved that it can be done, the second princess can also use White Lightning it's why she's hailed as a genius, she only used once to beat the second princess, after that day she never used it again. It's only her who can use this type of Lightning, nobody else in the Von Havens can use it. Not even the First Princess, another talented individual.'' 

Alex's widened, 'I wonder how Priscilla is doing. She should be fine. Ah! This girl, Artemia is not simple. Well, she's the reincarnated Human Goddess after all. I wonder if Elseria knows this.' he thought while looking in Elseria's direction, the latter chuckled as if to tell him that she knew. 

Suddenly, Leon sighed, ''You know, Artemia Eretria Von Havens is a monster. I'm a talented and hard worker but the first time I saw her I felt I'm lacking, I was not that special, I'm ordinary compared to her. You know Alex, I challenged her when we were twelve, I lost in one move, it was pathetic but instead of feeling down after such failure, I vowed to surpass her one day. What if she's a monster? With my hard work, I'll surpass her.''

'Well, the latter is the reincarnated Human Goddess after all, normal that the difference is huge. Even so, I must say you have a strong mentally Leon, you're different from others.' Alex thought.

〖As I said this man is interesting. He will make a good friend. Well, if he doesn't betray you later that is.〗Silveria finally talked.

'Let's hope not.' Alex mumbled as he started to slowly open his heart to this new friend of his. It would shame if the worst-case scenario were to happen.

Unaware of his friend's thought, Leon continued, ''The current me can probably win against her, I'm must train harder. After encountering Artemia, I thought she'd the only one I'll be afraid of, but I guess I was wrong. You appeared, another monster. She's a monster same as you with the difference that you're more dangerous than her. Others don't know but soon they will. What if you can't use magic? What if you appear harmless, to me you are like a slumbering dragon in the process of awakening. You gave me an extremely dangerous feeling, I'm afraid and yet at the same time, I still want to fight you to see if I can or can't surpass the dragon. My friend, I'm looking forward to our fight.'' 

''Hahaha! Me a monster?'' Alex laughed hard startling the others, they looked at him wondering what has gotten into him. 

Ignored them Alex stared at Leon, the latter also did the same thing and then both smiled, it was a fiendish smile full of battle intent.

''I'm also looking forward to our fight Leo.''
