Death Guns In Another World

At the same time, when the Phantom Snake body headless body touched the ground, Alex followed.

After quickly treating Isabella's bleeding, Artemia rushed toward Alex, turning him around. Artemia feeds him a Poison recovery potion.

〖Master, you should have used this chance to have Artemia mouth feed you. How can you let go of such an occasion? It's how I have raised you?〗

If Silveria was in front of him at the moment and he wasn't paralyzed, Alex swore that he would have taught that old hag a lesson, not that he dared to call her that. 

Alex completely ignored Silveria and thanked Artemia after he recuperated.

''No need to thank me, if not for your intervention, Isabella would have lost her life; however, I would have appreciated if you have used a gentle method; she has four broken ribs, even though I healed her using a high-grade Healing potion, she would need to rest, her skull almost cracked crashing against several trees.'' 

''I see, my bad, however, at that time I couldn't only think about that only solution.'' Alex scratched his nose while explaining. 

''I know, I'm blaming you; I'm just feeling frustrated because I couldn't do anything when you two are in danger only because of my weakened Gift.'' Artemia sighed; she then sat on the ground in the lotus position.

''Don't worry, soon it will be complete again. You don't have to blame yourself, just know that everyone has a moment of weakness. You-" 

''Alex, I never knew you were so good with words. It's almost as if you are trying to win some points with me." 

Artemia had recuperated enough and even teased Alex. The latter rolled his eyes at her. 

Seeing this, Artemia couldn't help but become curious. 

''Even though I'm joking, you don't have to react like that. Say, I'm that unattractive in your eyes? Considering that you have such a beautiful Master, I can understand.'' 

''Please stop right there. I would be a lie if I said you were not attractive, that you made me want to conquer, have you for myself; however, unlike most males, I know how to keep myself in check. I don't go after all women that stir my heart.'' Alex explained and afterward stayed silent. 

Observing Alex for a moment, Artemia's mouth lifted into a smile. 

''As I thought you are interesting. You are different from other males that would use various methods to win my heart is not talking about the present but the past. You showed a total disinterest in my person; some might say it was another way of winning me; by doing this, you will attract my attention, making me curious about you; curiosity will give birth to something. However, I know you don't have such intention; you don't have an interest in making a move on me; you just want to maintain a good relationship with me. I can see that through your eyes.'' 

〖Master, quickly deny it, tell her that-〗

'Shut up; since when did you become a matchmaker?' Alex shouted at Silveria; the latter shut it as she could feel her master's anger rising if she continued any further.

Wanting to change the subject, Alex asked, 

''Excuse my bluntness, but why did you bring Isabella with you? I don't mean to say she's weak, but it would have been faster if it was just the two of us.'' 

Facing Alex's harsh words, Artemia didn't immediately answer; she first affectionately caressed Isabella's hair, looking at her as if she was looking at her sister; Artemia finally spoke. 

''I understand what you want to say; however, I couldn't let her stay at home because she wouldn't accept, and I feel at ease knowing her beside me. I may be a reincarnated goddess, lofty in the past, but Isabella is like my sister; we grew up together. She was there when nobody could play with me, there when I was lonely after my mother's death.'' 

''I see.'' Alex looked at Isabella in a new light; he had never thought there was such a deep bond between her and Artemia. 

After a moment of silence, Alex decided, ''Let's wait for one to let her recover before continuing.'' 

''Thank you, Alex.''

Alex waved to dismiss Artemia from thanking him. 

Seeing him act like this brought a smile upon Artemia's face; she was extremely grateful for this offer, touched. After resting for one day, Isabella would have perfectly recovered. 

Leaving the two alone, Alex decided to go patrol, Silveria appeared beside him. 

Looking at her master's side face, Silveria chuckled. 

''Why did you do that? We could have continued; the faster we finish here, the faster we will check on the girls. I kept having this nagging feeling that something bad would happen.'' 

''Sigh! How could I not know these things? I'm well of that. However, while I wish to check how the girls are doing immediately, I can't be hasty. I need to think about my party members. Let's suppose if I urged them to continue and the next floors Isabella lost her life because she hasn't completely recovery? Maybe it will be more due to her blunder. So, after long consideration I decided to propose this solution, don't forget that I'm the employee, even if I don't say anything, Artemia might suggest for us to take a short rest. However, when I'm the one to propose it, she will feel grateful, and from now on, she will leave decisions to me as she knew I have the wellbeing of the team in head, I can make better decisions. It's what I wish for.'' 

After listening to Alex's explanation, Silveria understood what he was after. Alex was done yet, he added. 

''Also, let's not forget that I have stationed Sera on the girl's side. With such a powerful ranker there, I don't think that anything will go awry. She is strong after all; while I don't know where this nagging feeling of incoming calamity is coming from, I believe that Sera will not be easily taken down. By the time it happens, we would have finished here, and I will be going over there. Well, if something were to happen over there, that is.'' 

''I see. You have thought that far. I have forgotten about Sera. Let's hope that nothing bad happens.'' Silveria said after recalling that Alex had asked Sera alias Zero to protect his sister, by extension the others in the shadow. 

Suddenly, as she remembered something, Silveria turned to look at Alex in the face and asked. 

''By the way, what is your current Level, Master?'' 

''Level 71, almost 72.'' Alex proudly declared. That Phantom snake was generous, giving him a lot of XP.

As if she hadn't heard anything noteworthy, Silveria said.

''Oh! Same with that girl.'' 

Alex almost fell face first. He knew Silveria did that intentionally; the same goes for Artemia, letting Silveria know about her strength; it was to tell Alex, 'You haven't won.' 

''Interesting, bring on.'' 

Alex said with a devilish smile; he was sure of his victory; the same goes for Artemia.

Thus, their third day passed.
