Death Guns In Another World-Chapter 1124 1061: Omen Of Destruction 1
At the same time inside the Infinity Maze.
Night fell.
The last radiance of the sun vanished underneath the horizon, only to be replaced by a darkness that enfolded the world. The clouds drifting in the air were also smeared in a dark hue. Alex who was completely exhausted went to sleep early but after thinking about what Incursio said before they separated, he decided to not think about it, she must be speaking nonsense, what is the most pressing to do now was to sleep to recover his stamina. He would think about the problem later. Darkness swallowed Alex's consciousness as he should have normally drifted into dreamland.

The world was changing. It was what he saw and the man he was observing also felt.
Marcus is the man's name. Marcus exhaled, gripped his spear, and stomped his foot. Three months ago, he was just an ordinary man. But now, he had been sent to a deserted and godforsaken place to patrol this boring area every day. He didn't know what they were guarding. But he knew that the world was changing and becoming more unfamiliar each day. He heard the news about the races forming an alliance and working hard to change the destiny of this world.
However.
'What does that have to do with me?' He couldn't help but mutter this.
Grabbing the spear, Marcus let out a helpless sigh. He was just an ordinary man who wished to find a quiet place to lead the rest of his life. The big shots often loved to come up with bothersome orders. He used to live a peaceful life in the village but had to relocate his family just because the big shots said so.
Without a choice, they left the village they had lived for a long time, arriving at this godforsaken place that was miles away. Not only that, but he had also been drafted into the army and had to patrol the area daily.
''Hopefully, nothing happens during my patrol.''
At this thought, Marcus curled his lips and turned to the town in the distance. As night fell, artificial magical lamps lit up in the town one after another. No matter what would happen he still had to continue living his life. As long as he stood at this sentry post, everything would turn out fine. But come to think of it, during this period, a group of strange adventurers had arrived in the town and given him a headache. Although there weren't many of them, they made terrible rackets and also spoke in a foreign language, troubling the nearby townsmen. He wondered where the adventurers came from. They behaved like mercenaries, asking anyone they met for quests for them to accomplish. However, he had to admit that they were really strong. As a member of the patrol team, he once joined the capture of nearby monsters. In the face of several enormous monsters, the patrols had to act cautiously. A white-haired beauty appeared and annihilated everything with just one attack. Recalling this sends a shiver down Marcus's spine but he quickly shook his head and focuses on what is at hand.
He shifted his gaze away from the town. What he wants wasn't something complicated, he just wanted to lead a normal life. He had made up his mind to propose to Lisa after this trouble ended. The brunette he fell in love with.
''After wandering around on my own for so many years, it's about time to settle down.'' He mumbled.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, he realized that his hound, which was traveling around him, had come to a sudden halt. Not only that, but it also stopped over, widened its round eyes, and stared vigilantly at the night sky. Deep growls escaped its throat from time to time as though it spotted a terrifying and dangerous predator.
What's wrong?
Upon witnessing its behavior, Marcus raised his guard instantly. He grabbed the leash on his hound and stared at the darkness with widened eyes. The hazy moonlight illuminated the forest before him and pitch-black shadows swayed in the gentle breeze. At a glance, it made him feel weird. But to a patrol who was on regular night watch, that wasn't the only thing Marcus spotted. Instead, something that shouldn't be there was also lurking in the shadows.
"W-What is… That…"
One, two, three, four, five.....
Scarlet lights glowed in the darkness, lined up in rows. It looked as though the shadows were given lives as they opened their innumerable eyes. The instant Marcus looked at the green flashes, his hair stood on end. At the same time, the hound beside him was so terrified that it couldn't let out a growl. It tucked its tail, curled up on the ground, and couldn't budge as though it were shivering in the face of a menacing beast.
'Move! Damn it! Hurry up!'
Marcus stared blankly. He felt as though he were frozen to the spot and couldn't shift at all. Under the moonlight, he witnessed what those mysterious creatures were. Their tall, burly bodies were made of bones glistening like a steel and their bodies were covered in an odd suit of armor. And on their faces, Marcus noticed a round, green eyeball swirling within the gap of the helmet. Then, the eyes stopped moving all of a sudden, locking onto him. They are undead, plenty of undead.
''Holy shit!!'
Just being stared at by those scarlet eyes almost made the man go crazy with fear. He tried to reach out for his whistle to sound the warning, but extreme fear had taken control of his body. He could only stand blankly on the spot and watch as hundreds upon thousands of steel troops marched toward him. Marcus knew their goal without even thinking. Apart from the town, there was nothing else here. And these creatures didn't arrive here for a tea session.
Move! Goddammit!
Although Marcus yelled in his head, his body just couldn't move. He used all his strength to shift his arm, but his body was out of his control. Not only that, but he also shuddered inexorably out of extreme terror. The young guard gnashed his teeth, large beads of sweat emerging over his forehead. He wanted to survive. But he also knew he couldn't escape death.
No.
"Woof! Woof!"
At that moment, the hound couldn't hold on any longer. It howled, turned around, and dashed toward the back as quickly as possible. The moment the hound broke free, Marcus also regained control over his stiffened body, just like how all living creatures retaliated desperately in the face of death falling upon them. For a moment, he looked at the undead creatures before him and calmed down instead. In an instant, he reached for the whistle in his pocket and put it between his lips.
"———!"
''Has the end finally come?"
Alex calmly continued to spectate, he couldn't intervene even if he wanted to.𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
