Death Guns In Another World - Chapter 1640: Camp Reversal Badge
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the midst of chaos, a woman found solace in the arms of Alex, her trusted alchemist. She clung to him, covering her ears tightly as the world around them erupted in dazzling flashes and deep rumbles. Moments earlier, they had witnessed a mysterious Chaos creature attacking Alex, only to be struck down by a bolt of lightning. The creature exploded, its putrid green blood splattering in all directions. Thankfully, Alex was unharmed, continuing to navigate through the chaos with the woman in his arms.
From above, if she had the chance to look down, she would see that Alex’s group had not charged into the heart of the Chaos army. Instead, they had split into smaller factions, encircling the army without being detected. Like shadows, they weaved in and out, avoiding the Chaos creatures and maneuvering around the chaos.
“It’s about time,” she thought to herself.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the Horned Behemoth, locked in a fierce battle, let out a thunderous roar. The lightning brilliance intensified, illuminating the battlefield. The creature widened its massive eye and unleashed a beam of red light directly at a golden knight.
In a moment of surprise, the golden knight was unable to dodge the attack. The beam struck his head, causing him to cry out in pain. The stalemate between the knight and the Horned Behemoth was finally broken.
With a powerful swing of its massive fists, the Horned Behemoth disarmed the golden knight, shattering his heavy shield. The flames that once engulfed the knight began to fade under the onslaught of lightning strikes. The Horned Behemoth roared triumphantly as it raised its arms, unleashing its full might upon the golden knight.
A deafening boom echoed through the battlefield as the golden knight shattered into nothingness. In his place, tiny knights, completely powerless, fell from the sky. Before they could even touch the ground, the Horned Behemoth struck the earth with tremendous force.
Boom!
The ground trembled and cracked, collapsing under the impact. Spiritual light rose from beneath the Horned Behemoth’s fists, a grim sign of lives lost.
Witnessing this scene, Bahamut’s clone couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction. This was exactly what he had planned when he led the Chaos Lords here. The defensive line had crumbled under the might of the Horned Behemoth. Though initially annoyed by the creature’s disobedience, Ion now saw the value in its actions. With the golden knight defeated, the Horned Behemoth had cleared the way. All that remained was to shatter the city walls, and the defensive line would crumble entirely.
“Roar! Scums of Light mainland; this is what happens when you defy Chaos!”
Bahamut’s clone watched as the Horned Behemoth raised its arms and let out a triumphant roar.
Then, without warning, it turned and vanished into the Chaos fog. As if following its lead, the Chaos army began to retreat, gradually fading away.
Confusion filled the air. What was happening?
As the Horned Behemoth turned around, Alex seized the opportunity to slip into the chaotic fog, disappearing from sight. In the midst of the Chaos creatures, there was nothing but massive, terrifying beings emitting a warm and putrid air. Even the alchemist, covering her mouth and nose, couldn’t bear the stench. She was well aware of the danger they were in. Surrounded by tens of thousands of Chaos creatures, their fate hung in the balance. If they were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. But for now, they relied on one crucial factor – remaining undetected.
“It seems like your plan is working,” Alex remarked.
It wasn’t his own abilities that allowed them to navigate through the Chaos creatures unnoticed, but rather the badge hanging on his chest. The cross-shaped badge, designed by his alchemist, emitted a faint glow that cloaked them in a protective aura. This was the Camp Reversal Badge, capable of harnessing the power of both Order and Chaos and converting it through spiritual energy.
“What a brilliant design,” Alex thought, marveling at the badge’s effectiveness. In their previous encounters, he had used various strategies to outmaneuver their enemies. But this time, the stakes were higher. They were not facing creatures of Light, but the chaotic forces of Chaos itself. And now, they were venturing deep into the heart of Chaos, where sneaking around would be incredibly challenging. In the realm of Light, he would have countless options to reach their destination safely with his party. But in this land of Chaos, where Light was scarce, their presence was like a beacon in the darkness. In their previous forays into Chaos, Alex had used the power of Light to create a protective halo, shielding them from Chaos. However, this method had its flaws – it attracted the attention of surrounding Chaos creatures. Each time they had entered Chaos before, they had faced relentless attacks from the creatures. If they were to rely on the same method again, they would be immediately encircled and have no chance of reaching their destination.
The girl, being a descendant of a powerful alchemist family, possessed great intelligence and insight. Despite her innocent demeanor, she was far from naive. When Alex had requested her assistance, she quickly understood the underlying principle behind it – that the strength of both Order and Chaos beings stemmed from spiritual powers. With this understanding, she set to work on designing and constructing the Camp Reversal Badge.
The Camp Reversal Badge was essentially a device that allowed the wearer to convert between the camps of Order and Chaos. By activating it with their own spiritual power, the wearer could merge their presence with Chaos while maintaining their allegiance to Order internally. Additionally, the badge enabled Alex to absorb spiritual powers from Chaos, alleviating concerns about depleting his own reserves. However, using the Camp Reversal Badge required considerable strength and a vast amount of spiritual power. Without these prerequisites, the benefits would not outweigh the risks of insufficient spiritual power absorption. Fortunately, Alex led an elite team of Saints, ensuring that he had no concerns in this regard.
Thanks to the Camp Reversal Badge’s effect, Alex and the alchemist, Lapis, were able to move freely and covertly through the Chaos creatures. In the eyes of the Chaos beings, they appeared as one of their own, possessing the aura of Chaos. This granted them the ability to travel undetected and without suspicion.
But even so, Alex’s didn’t let his guard down entirely.
As Alex sprinted through the chaotic environment with the alchemist in his arms, they encountered a formidable obstacle. A massive shadow suddenly appeared in their path, causing Alex to increase his speed and swiftly navigate around it. Just as they escaped, a deafening boom resonated behind them. A colossal Chaos creature had stomped down on the spot they had occupied mere moments ago. Oblivious to their presence, the creature changed direction and continued its rampage elsewhere.
Such was the nature of Chaos creatures – solitary and merciless. If anyone dared to impede their path, they would be torn apart without a second thought.
Taking a moment to catch their breath, the alchemist placed her hand on Alex’s chest, feeling a sense of relief. She then turned her gaze towards him, observing his determined expression.
“He truly is a handsome Lord,” Margaret thought to herself, appreciating Alex’s striking profile.
