Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 263 - 250: Sleipnir

ʼʼBecause yesterday was your birthday, and I couldnʼt participate in, I brought you a gift,ʼʼ Katherina announced before placing the boots on the table.

A beautiful smile appeared on Alexʼs face when he saw the black boots.

ʼʼYou should have started from there, princess.ʼʼ

Alex said and picked up the boots and expected it; the speed with which he picked the boots startled Katherina and the silver armored man. The man wondered how shameless Alex could be; the moment he saw the boots, his expression did a 360-degree change, his eyes started to shine.

ʼWell, I can understand how he feels knowing the origin of that boots. Hah! To think the princess will give away such family treasure.ʼ The man lamented, even he felt envious when he saw the black boots.

〖Wow! Master, it seems you have gotten a rather lovely gift; how generous of Katherina. We shall forgive her and become her friend. As a friend, she must share her treasures with us. Fufufu! I can wait to get my hand on what she has.〗Silveria declared, unlike Alex, who hadnʼt appraised the black boots, she had done it and knew it was not average treasure.

Alexʼs lips twitched when he heard Silveriaʼs shameless words; he wondered where she has learned to be that shameless. Fortunately, he didnʼt ask her anything. If not, Silveria would have rolled her eyes at him before pointing at him, saying he was the culprit.

Alexʼs eyes widened with shock when he saw the description of the black boots.

[Sleipnir

Grade: SS

Increase the wearerʼs agility by 200 points.

Special abilities:

✒ Auto-repair

✒ Fly: Ability to temporarily fly. (Sealed)]

Alex almost whistled when he saw Sleipnirʼs description; however, what disappointed him was that Sleipnirʼs most important ability was sealed. Alex wondered what happened and how can he unsealed it. He was instead getting fed up with sealed things.

As if Katherina could read Alexʼs mind, she said.

ʼʼI hope you like my Gift. As you have seen it, Sleipnirʼs ability is sealed; however, you donʼt have to worry according to theory, it can be unsealed with the blood of a Dragon.ʼʼ

ʼʼA dragon?” Alex asked, eyes filled with disbelief; he almost shouted. ʼYou must be kidding me. Must I slay a dragon before unsealed? What kind of bad joke is this?ʼ

However, he refrained from saying these words.

Unaware of what going through Alexʼs mind, Katherina continued,

ʼʼWell, I said theory, but only dragon blood can unseal Sleipnir. We have tried with lesser dragon blood: wyvern blood, but while we managed to unseal it, it was only temporary. From that experiment, we concluded that only higher-rank dragon blood could successfully unseal it. You may be able to find a ranked dragon inside a dungeon.

I have the feeling that you can unseal Sleipnir and reveal to the world how amazing it is.ʼʼ

Alex didnʼt say anything, still holding them; he could feel a warm breeze coming from the boots cover his hand; it became lighter. Even though Sleipnirʼs special ability was sealed, it was still op enough, an increase of 200 points on agility stat is not a joking matter. Also, thereʼs the fact that Sleipnir was SS grade treasure, the same grade as Loki.

The highest grade a treasure could reach in Mysthiaʼs world.

ʼʼThank you. I appreciate the gift.ʼʼ Alex sincerely declared. He wasnʼt ungrateful; when you get something better, thank the person who gave it to you no matter how much you dislike this person.

Katherina waved her hand, ʼʼIʼm glad you like it. While this can compensate for everything you went through, take it as the token of my sincerity. I hope to form a good relationship with you, a relationship-”

ʼʼI wonʼt work for you like Leonardo. It will never happen, so better drop that idea. We are not enemies anymore. However, it doesnʼt mean we are now allies. It may happen in the future. All I can promise at the moment is that I wonʼt intervene in your life; I wonʼt find trouble with you.ʼʼ Alex cut Katherina off before she could continue any further; both knew what the other wants.

ʼʼUgh! I understand.ʼʼ Katherina was forced to surrender, for the moment, that is. Todayʼs goal could be considered accomplished. While she hadnʼt succeeded in making Alex her subordinates, she believes that it was a matter of time.

ʼMaybe I should use my charm to make him mine?ʼ

Katherina considered for a moment before shaking her head; she threw those nonsensical thoughts to the back of her head.

ʼʼItʼs good to have talked with you. I shall take my leave.ʼʼ Katherina said before standing up; Alex accompanied her until the entrance.

Suddenly, Katherina stopped and spun around to face Alex,

ʼʼWhile I know you are strong, please be wary during your excursion inside the dungeon, and more importantly, please protect my sister.ʼʼ

Alex was surprised; he thought Katherina didnʼt like Artemia from the rumors.

ʼGuess rumors canʼt be trusted after all.ʼ Inwardly Alex thought while outwardly, he nodded his head.

As if he remembered something Alex said,

ʼʼI hope you will discipline your dog to know how to behave.ʼʼ

Katherina immediately knew whom Alex was referring to as a dog. She couldnʼt help sigh, and before she could open her mouth, Alex said, his eyes cold, earnest, as if he wouldnʼt forgive her if she went against his words.

ʼʼIʼm warning you. Suppose he did something he shouldnʼt have done. I will take care of him as I see fit. I hope you will not intervene at that time. If not, you will become my enemy.ʼʼ

ʼʼI understand. I will discipline him.ʼʼ Katherina was forced to make this promise. Leonardo may be an asshole, but he still has an important role to play. Because she managed to enroll in her faction, she had gained a compared advantage over the other candidates. By now, she should have disciplined Leonardo entirely, tame his wild side and his delusion of grandeur.

However, she postpones it due to Alexʼs arrival.

ʼI guess I should have a word with him. Well, it will be quicker to talk with his girlfriend, that Camilla girl. I heard that recently he started playing around with his maids and other girls. Hah! What a headache.ʼ Katherina lamented, she knew that Leonardo had a view on her; in fact, she used his desire to have her as his woman to make work her.

Alex watched Katherina board her carriage and left with his guard, who acted as her driver, before returning inside.

Inside the carriage, Katherina sat comfortably and started to read a report on Leonardoʼs recent activities.

Suddenly, she heard her most loyal guardʼs voice.

ʼʼWas it worth it? Especially, that last condition?” The silver armored man inquired.

Tucking her beautiful blue hair behind her ear, Katherina replied.

ʼʼIt was worth it. I donʼt regret coming here today. On the contrary, if I havenʼt come, I would have regretted it in the future; the only way to win his trust and eventually make him mine, cough cough; I meant to make him work for me was to approach him and show my sincerity. As for his last words, while it displeases me, I do understand him a little.

While I may not know what kind of past relationships those two had when they were still in their world, Earth, they called it. I believe it wasnʼt a harmonious one; Alex is the one to bask in the limelight while Leonardo can only fade in the background. And having seen him, you understand better than me what that boy wants; he wants to be the center of attention.

Leonardo may have gotten what he wants; however, the moment Alex show up, he became a background character again. He must be truly pissed; he even lost in their fight. To make matters worse, the women he coveted were snatched right before his eyes. Tell if me, Maximus, if you were in his place wonʼt you try to take revenge?”

Facing Katherinaʼs question, the silver armored man who goes by the name of Maximus contemplated for a moment before responding.

ʼʼI will.ʼʼ

ʼʼWell, most people will. Alex knew this and warned me because Iʼm Leonardoʼs backer. Better discipline your man for him to make a blunder than stop me when I would want to take care of him. It was what Alex meant.ʼʼ Katherina explained.

ʼʼI see. From his words, he must be sure that Leonardo will try something and better be prepared if he does. You mustnʼt intervene. It is a rather bold move; that boy knew youʼd accept his condition.ʼʼ Maximus said after analyzing Alexʼs words.

ʼʼYeah, itʼs why he warned me to discipline Leonardo. Hah! I hope that delusional boy will know what is good for him and not try to do something he shouldnʼt have. He is a fool to think he would ally with that Holy son. I can more or less guess the condition of this alliance.

Both must have decided to divide Alexʼs women between them.ʼʼ Katherina muttered while scanning through the report inside her wants.

Putting a disgusted expression, she announced, ʼʼWhat do they take women for? Trophies to be distributed? What a bunch of assholes. Maximus, we will be going towards that asshole mansion. I need to give him an earful.ʼʼ

ʼʼCertainly, my lady.ʼʼ
