Death Guns In Another World - Chapter 1670: Devour
The air crackled with an unearthly energy, and the fabric of reality warped under the strain. For a brief moment, an agonizing silence hung, a vacuum of power. Then, the Wyvern King’s fire dwindled and faded. Alex’s black flames, fueled by his Asura bloodline, consumed the creature entirely.
”!!!!!!!!!!!!”
A horrifying shriek reverberated through the Abyss, sending shivers down Alex’s spine. With a deafening boom, the Wyvern King exploded in a gory spectacle. Chunks of flesh and obsidian scales rained down upon the swirling vortex, dissolving into wisps of black smoke.
Silence descended upon the Abyss once more, a silence broken only by Alex’s ragged breaths. He floated there, his immense form heaving, the taste of victory and exhaustion clinging to his scales. But through the haze of battle, a faint glow pulsed in the distance, beckoning him closer.
He had conquered the Wyvern King, guardian of the Abyss. Now, all that remained was to reach the light and devour everything to finally go back to reunite with his loved ones he missed dearly. So Alex continued to descend into the abyss.
Setting aside that unsettling thought for a brief moment, Alex directed his attention towards the luminosity. It pulsed with an unearthly brilliance, a guiding light amidst the boundless emptiness of the Abyss. With a mighty flap of his jet-black wings, he propelled himself forward, the memory of the Wyvern King’s demise fading into the vortex’s swirling chaos.
Two hours melded into one another, an abstract eternity that somehow slipped away as he navigated the treacherous currents of the Abyss. However, the light grew larger with each passing moment, its ethereal glow filling him with a blend of hope and unease. At the end of the abyss, the swirling vortex yielded to a solid platform of pristine white energy. The light emanated from within, a pulsating nucleus resonating with an ancient power that reverberated through his very bones.
As Alex descended, the platform solidified beneath his colossal claws. The radiant light intensified, momentarily blinding him. When his vision cleared, he beheld the world not through the emerald eyes of a dragon, but through his own human gaze. Relief washed over him like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf him. He was not yet lost.
Yet, there was no time to revel in this semblance of normalcy. Taking a deep breath, he focused his will. An unprecedented transformation began, unlike anything he had ever experienced. A crackling energy, a somber echo of the Abyss’s power, surged through his veins. His human form contorted, stretched, and reshaped.
His garments tore apart, unable to contain the burgeoning might. Once shoulder-length, his black hair erupted into a crimson cascade, flowing down his back like a haunting banner. He grew taller, not by inches, but by feet. A towering figure, standing at two and a half meters, sculpted from sinewy dark muscle and veins aglow with an ominous red luminescence.
An otherworldly aura, a halo of swirling black energy, burst forth from his being. Its potency distorted the fabric of reality around him. The white platform beneath his feet fractured, spiderweb cracks spreading outward as if recoiling in fear. The tendrils of darkness in the swirling abyss momentarily shrank back, overwhelmed by the sheer radiance emanating from Alex’s Asura form.

Alex’s Stats increased under his Aura’s form.
Without hesitation, Alex confidently walked towards the center of the platform. He positioned himself cross-legged directly in front of the swirling vortex, his determination unwavering. From his Asura form, black chains emerged, enveloping him in a protective cocoon. Within this obsidian cage, he uttered a single word, filled with determination.
“Devour!”
The word reverberated through the empty space, amplified by the peculiar acoustics of the Abyss. Right on cue, a colossal suction force materialized before him. It wasn’t a physical force, but rather an ethereal one – a ravenous mouth of dark energy stretching towards the swirling vortex. This wasn’t about devouring everything in its path, as the initial hunger had suggested. It was about purging, about cleansing the Abyss from the corrupting energy that had tainted it.
Sensing the imminent threat, the vortex pulsated with a malicious glow. Dark tendrils lashed out, attempting to fend off the growing suction force. A silent battle ensued, a clash of wills between a creature fueled by the Abyss and a man empowered by his Asura form. The platform beneath them groaned in protest, the very fabric of reality straining under the immense forces at play.
