Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 78 - 73: The Following Morning

At the march of dawn besieging the stars, the sun rose victoriously into the atmosphere. The light consumed the sky with ferocity. Thus, returning it to its uplifting powder blue appearance. Wispy cotton clouds gradually accumulated high above, only adding to the blissful ambiance of the morning.

At the Moonlight Inn, the morning sun had kissed her awake. Slivers of light peeped through the drawn blinds, casting thin golden stripes across her angelic face. Gracier opened her eyes and slowly, drowsily, and lopped sidedly as she smiled before glancing at the bed on her left, there was her new family member, her Big brother, he was napping peacefully.

Suddenly, Alex awoke when the sunlight stroked his eyes into squints. He glanced sideways to see his little sister staring foolishly at him thus he asked,

ʼʼMorning little sister, why are you staring at me like that?”

Instead of replying, Gracier went to fetch a small mirror and gave it to him,

ʼʼLook at yourself.ʼʼ She said.

Alex took the mirror and looked, somehow he had become handsome.

ʼʼIʼm handsome so what?”

Rolling her eyes Gracier said, ʼʼYouʼve become handsome. Previously you were just above average and today you stepped into the handsome category. Itʼs astonishing who itʼs happened, itʼs must be because of yesterday covenant.ʼʼ

〖She is right you have become handsome and her face became angelic all thanks to this lady.〗Silveria proudly pointed out.

Now that Silveria had said it, it was true Gracierʼs physical had changed as well, she became more beautiful.

ʼʼYou are right, however, Iʼm not the only one,ʼʼ Alex said before giving back the mirror, Gracier took it and check her appearance, indeed it was true she had changed as well, her skin had become fairer, more smooth.

ʼʼIndeed itʼs true. Big brother these changes are part of the few advantages you were talking about?” She asked.

ʼʼIʼm not sure myself,ʼʼ Alex responded while inwardly he questioned Silveria.

ʼSil, I thought you said there will be no change in our physicals that only our bloodline will change but now how come Iʼve become handsome, my skin became smoother, the same thing happened to Gracier. What happened?ʼ

〖Itʼs because after your bloodline changed inside, your facial features and skins evolved to keep up with your new bloodline. Youʼre still human while she still a half-Elf. Seriously, I havenʼt thought this would happen. Well, I had never performed this covenant before. I just heard about it.〗Silveria explained.

Listening to her explanation Alex understood but it came to the last part of her words he wasnʼt pleased. How could he? The girl just said she had made them do something she hasnʼt personally experienced or someone close to her had. What if it was harmful?

Noticing the displeased expression on her masterʼs face Silveria quickly explained herself.

〖For my defense I canʼt perform this lost spell on myself but Iʼm sure it isnʼt something harmful. This covenant was something from a lost civilization, someone had used it, itʼs how I knew it isnʼt harmful. The person who performed it had gained few advantages but none were like this, so Iʼm a little perplexed, this covenant works depending on your race or level maybe.〗

ʼI see, it does make sense. So, what is the other boon you are talking about?ʼ He asked.

Gracier who was observing Alex noticed him lost in thought. ʼHe must be thinking about something, better let him for now.ʼ She thought before silently leaving for the bathroom.

On the other side, Silveria was responding to Alexʼs question.

〖Check your status〗She said.

ʼStatusʼ He mumbled and a blue panel appeared right before his eyes.

Alex was pleasantly surprised after seeing his status, his MP had increased by 100, while he gained a new skill called Intimidation. He was sure that this skill has something to do with Gracierʼs left eye, the Dragon eye. He will check the skillʼs description later.

〖Indeed they are related, itʼs a weak version of her skill, you gained this skill because of your bond, your new bloodline, your MP increased because Elves are closer to mana than human. Too bad you canʼt use magic, if you could you will have gained a magic skill, if you were a Fire magician youʼll have gained one or two of Gracierʼs skills.〗Silveria explained.

ʼI see. What are the other advantages we have gained after the contract?ʼ he asked.

Sighing to how hasty her master could be Silveria answered,

〖Close your eyes and try to feel your sisterʼs presence.〗

Alex closed his eyes and try to feel Gracierʼs presence, he was astonished to know where she was, she was in the bathroom. She probably went in when he was speaking with Silveria. Even he couldnʼt see her, what she was doing exactly he knew she was inside the bathroom.

〖From your expression it seems that you noticed, what just happened is that you used your connection with her to know her location, she can do the same thing. You two can sense each other presence in a certain range, Iʼm not sure to which extends but letʼs say, radius 30km for now. You will test the range limits later.

This ability enables you to know each other general location, a pretty useful ability I must say. If either of you gets kidnapped the other will know and follow after if the kidnappers didnʼt exceed your abilitieʼs range, not that I wish for one of you to get kidnapped to test it.

The last advantage itʼs more wonderful, this one I like it and Iʼm sure you will as well.〗Silveria explained, she seemed excited when she spoke about the last boon.

ʼTell me quicklyʼ Alex said impatiently.

Chuckling Silveria said,

〖Women do not like hasty men. Well, talk to Gracier as you usually talk with me.〗

Alex did not immediately get what she meant however it quickly changed, grinning he decided to test out and at the same time tease his sister.

{Alexandra what are you doing?} he asked telepathically.

Crash*

On the other side, inside the bathroom Gracier who was cleaning herself suddenly fell into the bathtub. She couldnʼt be blamed she just heard a voice, it was her big brotherʼs voice, she hastily hides inside the bathtub before shouting.

ʼʼBig brother where are you?”

Outside Alex laughed, he could feel Gracier panicking so he said.

{Do not panic Iʼm still in the bedroom. Iʼm talking to you telepathically. Itʼs one of the advantages of the covenant we have signed.} he explained.

ʼʼEh? Then youʼre talking directly into my head?” she asked.

{Yes. No need to speak so loud, just speak using your mind.} Alex suggested.

ʼʼOkay,ʼʼ Gracier said before trying to talk directly into Alexʼs head.

{Big brother did it work?} She asked telepathically.

{Yeah it worked}

{Great. So we can communicate like this from now on. Itʼs a great ability, it will be useful in a situation where we donʼt want anyone to listen to our conversation.} Gracier said already anticipating the subject of communication they will have.

{Youʼre right. Time to cut off the communication, Iʼll let you continue what you are doing, we will continue once you finish.} Alex said before cutting the communication.

Gracier continued what she was doing while outside in the bedroom Alex was chatting with Silveria until his little sister come back.
