Death Guns In Another World

At the same time, Maria's group departed to search for the next floor stairs below them; it is to say on the lower floor Sera disguised as Five people in black surrounded Zero.

Looking at those men in black, Zero (Sera) smirked and said, ''So you lot wish to stop me, keep me here as you go after the girls? Among those four, who are you after?" 

Silence! 

''Are you after Maria? Luna?" 

Still, no response, those men in black were vigilantly staring at Zero (Sera); they seemed to be waiting for someone. 

Not bothered by the fact that only silence was the answer she got for her questions, Zero (Sera) continued; she wasn't expecting to get them to talk; she was after something else. 

''Sakuya? Or perhaps Gracier, Alexander's sister?" 

Another silence, however, Zero (Sera) smiled. 

''I see, so that is it.'' 

While does who knew Zero was aware of the fact that she excels at the Darkness element, there was another element in which she excels; even though it wasn't to the extent of the darkness element, she was pretty good at controlling the wind element, and when she was raising these questions, Zero wasn't looking at the men in black faces, but instead, she was looking at their heartbeat, checking them through what she calls 'Wind Sense'; and when she said Gracier's name, one among the five heartbeats quickened, even though he only for an instant, it was all it took for Zero to get the answer she was after.

''You really like seeking trouble. Those siblings are not something you should target. If you and the one behind you want to leave long, that is.'' 

Zero spoke in an icy tone. Her voice made the five men in black bodies tensed up, making their bodies freeze for a second; it was all it took for three of them to lose their life.

Zero disappeared, and when she reappeared, she was amidst the five men in black holding two black daggers; three men in black bodies fall into the ground a hole punched through their hearts, instantly crushing it. 

Just as Zero was about to finish the remaining two men in black and go to the rescue of Gracier, she was forced to unsheath the sword at her waist and defend against the claws of her attacker. 

Clangs! 

Even though she was surprised to be pushed back after unsheathing her Gift, Zero glared at the person in front of her; no, it couldn't be called a person as the thing skin was utterly black, long black hair, almost dark eyes if not for the little green inside them. 

''So, it's you again. I wonder what you are.'' Zero said she remembers this creature; it was the one she fought and got injured a few days ago, on Alex's date.

Naturally, the creature didn't respond to Zero's; she withdraws her claws before sending a deadly strike toward Zero using her tail. 

Swoosh! Clangs! 

Zero was able to block the blow perfectly. Suddenly, Zero let go of her sword, startling the two men in black who were sneaking away. 

Swoosh! Swoosh! Pui! Pui! 

Two daggers found their way through the poor men's throats, holding their throats, the men in black fell lifelessly on the ground, disbelief written over their faces, until the end, they couldn't believe why Zero didn't let them go even though she was fighting against 007, the monster.

Bending her body back to dodge 007 claws before rolling on the ground, Zero vanished; she made use of the shadow inside this floor to move and attacks 007 from different directions.

Even though she was receiving attacks from all sides, 007 was unfazed; using only one hand, she deflected all the attacks. 

Clank! Clank!!!

Zero, hiding in the shadow, quickly erected a shield made of wind around her body. 

''Screeechhhhh!" 

007 emitted a banshee-like scream that shook the whole floor; numerous cracks appeared on the dungeon's hall before being instantly healed. 

Even though Zero had deployed numerous windshields around her body, most of them got broken by 007's scream. 

''Ugh!" 

A sudden dizziness assaulted Zero; she almost let go of her sword; however, her instincts warned her of instant death if she ever let that sword go. 

Sending a sword strike towards her back, it happens to clash against 007's claws. 

Zero was blasted away, using her black sword to reduce her fall; Zero held the hand of her sword to spin and send a kick toward the incoming 007; the latter was forced to cross her arms to defend against Zero spinning kick as it was aimed at her head. 

007 got pushed back; she clenched her fist until they made a cracking sound before sending a deadly punch at Zero, who was planning to vanished again. 

007's punch seemed to break space apart and locked Zero in place, giving her no room to escape. 

Looking at the incoming fist, Zero hesitated no more; thrusting her black sword forward, she mumbled the name of her skill, her special ability, her most deadly ability. 

''Dimensional Slash!" 

Then something astonishing happened, Zero black sword was still floating in the air; however, the blade was gone as if it became invisible, and something more astonishing happened, 007 vanished, cancelling her attack, when she reappears again, she was on Zero's left, strangely they were a black blade piercing through her body. 

Unlike last time where 007 injuries got instantly healed, this time it was healing at a slow speed. 007 couldn't help but spurt a mouthful of blood; even so, she still looked behind her back as if to check that everything went well. 

''Good girl, you did well coming at my rescue; it was a timely intervention, as expected of our most successful creation.'' 

A sudden voice could be heard, one that wasn't present previously. 007 showed no emotion even after receiving praise, neither did Zero; she sheathed her sword and glared in 007's direction, no, more specifically behind her back. 

''Now, now, don't glare at me like I'm your mother murdered MS. Zero, the most deadly weapon Elseria have ever created. As expected of her strongest weapon, that last attack even I, couldn't do anything against it, if not for my lovely tool here, I might have died. How scary!" 

The same voice that talked earlier and praised 007 spoke again; onlyy the voice could be heard, a male voice, no presence could be felt. This made Zero further raise her guard against this invisible enemy; it was due to her sharp sense that Zero managed to catch the invisible enemy location; she expected to injury the latter with a surprise attack. Unfortunately, it didn't work. As for the man words, Zero wasn't surprised, so she showed no reaction whatsoever in front of the man taunts, calling Elseria's creation was to make her furious so that she may recklessly attack him. Unfortunately, Zero had seen through the invisible man plot.

Seeing Zero showing no reaction to his words, the invisible man sighed, ''How boring. We shall temporarily retreat Ms Zero, hope next time you won't interfere as we do not wish to fall out with that monster, at least not yet.''
