Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1777 -1573: Turmoil in the Demon Realm

In the infernal depths of the Demon Realm, a war of epic proportions was raging. A rebellion, born from the ashes of discontent, had ignited, pitting demon against demon in a bloody

conflict for supremacy.

Once a unified realm of darkness, the Demon Realm was now fractured. Powerful warlords, each with their own ambitions, vied for control. Alliances were forged and broken with the speed of lightning. Betrayal was a common currency, trust a luxury few could afford.

The landscape was a testament to the relentless conflict. Once towering demon citadels were now crumbling ruins, their foundations shattered by the relentless onslaught of war. Rivers of blood flowed through the demonic realm, a grim testament to the scale of the carnage. Amidst this chaos, a new order was emerging. A coalition of demon dukes, united by a common hatred of the Lilith being the ruler, had formed a formidable alliance. Led by a charismatic and ruthless young duke named Kael, they were making significant inroads into the heart of the demon realm.

Because she was busy with the war, the monster wave and the Golden beast, Lilith hadn't acted, but finally she had sent her sister to take care of them, the number 2 assassin Althea had a mission, to eliminate this group.

The marching force aiming at the imperial capital had to pass through the Valley of death before reaching a city close the the capital, Althea decided to use this ruthless terrain to her advantage.

The Valley of Death was an unforgiving mistress. The wind howled, the ice bit, and the lightning crackled, a constant reminder of the dangers that lurked in this desolate expanse. Yet, the marching force, a formidable army of demons, had managed to establish a temporary foothold.

At the heart of this makeshift encampment was the commander's tent, a beacon of relative warmth and safety in this icy wasteland. Inside, Kael, a vampire duke of exceptional cruelty and ambition, was indulging in a moment of respite. His pale skin, sharp ears, and blood-red eyes marked him as a creature of the night, a predator at the top of the food chain. Obviously he was from the vampire race, her mother was Priscilla, the former duke Alex killed back then to rescue Lilith. If weren't because of him Lilith could not be acting as the current empress, he would kill her and seize the throne, he would complete his revenge and later kill Alex. Everything was perfect he thought.

A young succubus, her beauty a lethal weapon, moved with feline grace through the tent. Her laughter, like the whisper of a seductive serpent, filled the air. Kael, lost in a moment of carnal pleasure, paid little heed to the outside world.

Unbeknownst to them, a silent figure moved through the shadows. Althea, the assassin, had arrived. Her presence was as cold and calculating as the icy wind that swept through the valley. She observed the scene with a predatory focus, her eyes glinting with a deadly intent.

The time for action was approaching. The stage was set for a confrontation that would decide the fate of the rebellion.

Somewhere in the valley, a tangible shadow flickered, Althea chuckled.

"Time to start the death dance."

An assassination mission in a while she couldn't be more thrilled.

Enveloped by an inky blackness that was as much a part of her as her own shadow, Althea moved with the silent grace of a phantom. The camp was a labyrinth of shadows, punctuated by the occasional flicker of light and the low murmur of voices. The scent of fear was thick, a tangible thing in the night air.

Her first target was a tent larger than the rest, a sure sign of rank. With a thought, she dissolved into the darkness, reappearing in the center of the tent. The commander was sprawled on a makeshift bed, a goblet of wine halfway to his lips. Before he could react, her blade flashed, a swift, clean arc that severed his windpipe. The gurgling horror in his eyes was fleeting, replaced by the stark reality of death as crimson blossomed across his white tunic. With a shudder, the tent fell silent, save for the rhythmic thump of her heart.

A cold satisfaction spread through Althea as she vanished into the night once more. The first kill was always the hardest, the mind a reluctant instrument of death. Now, a predatory focus sharpened her senses. The camp was a chessboard, and she was the unseen player, each tent a potential pawn to be eliminated.

Her next target was a cluster of tents, a junior command post. She slipped through the canvas walls like a ghost, her movements as fluid as water. The first guard was a simple matter, a quick strike to the neck before he could sound the alarm. The second was more alert, but a well-placed dagger between the ribs silenced him.

Panic began to stir in the camp. Shadows danced with heightened anxiety, and the occasional shout echoed through the night. Althea reveled in the chaos she was creating. She was a storm, a tempest of darkness, and the camp was her playground.

With each fallen commander, the camp grew quieter, the fear more palpable. Althea knew she was running out of time. The main tent, the heart of the command, loomed large in her mind. It was time for the final act.

The main tent was a fortress of shadows, its canvas walls taut against the night wind. Althea moved with the silent precision of a phantom, her senses honed to a razor's edge. The camp was hushed, a graveyard of flickering campfires and the occasional snore. Yet, beneath the veneer of tranquility, a heartbeat of vigilance pulsed.

She had studied the layout meticulously, memorized the guard patterns, and identified potential escape routes. Every creak of a branch, every rustle of cloth, was a potential alarm. Her breath came in shallow gasps, a stark contrast to the calm facade she projected. Discarded armor and weapons littered the ground, a testament to the camp's recent losses. She moved carefully, avoiding the treacherous terrain, her boots sinking into the soft earth. The main tent loomed larger with each step, a monolithic presence against the starlit sky. As she drew closer, her heart pounded like a war drum. The tent flap was guarded by two soldiers, their silhouettes stark against the interior light. She needed a distraction, something to draw their attention away from the entrance.

A sudden movement caught her eye. A lone sentry, farther down the camp, was shifting his position.
