A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049: Chapter 722: Shadow Boundary Chapter 1049: Chapter 722: Shadow Boundary The mountains shook, the earth cracked.

Duanmu Huai stood in the distance, watching the beam of light descending from the sky and tearing the solid mountains apart, and the young girls standing beside him were completely dumbfounded.

“Sir Knight, are you sure we'll have any enemies left to deal with after this blast?”

Lorena spoke up helplessly, and Mary silently nodded in agreement.

“Just watch, these guys aren't so easy to kill.”

Contrary to the others' opinions, Duanmu Huai did not believe the boss of this world would be so easily subdued. After all, although this world might seem backward, most bosses possessed ways to save their lives. Eradicating them completely was no easy task. If it were Duanmu Huai's Black Flame, it might be another case, but this mere Light Spear probably couldn't even cleanse the ground thoroughly enough to eliminate the opponent.

Soon, the beam dissipated, and a massive hole spewed out scorching heat like an erupting volcano, making anyone who neared it sweat profusely.

However, the next moment, the air temperature suddenly plummeted, and a huge dark shadow flashed out of the hole.

“Who is this audaciously unrestrained!”

As he spoke, a giant composed of dark shadows, approximately the size of Ultraman, slowly rose to its feet. It had eyes twinkling with a dim light, and its facial features seemed to be formed from a kind of black substance.

“It really didn't die…”

Now Mary was also shocked. From her perspective, nothing should have survived that previous strike. Yet, unexpectedly… not only did this boss not die, but it also seemed to be jumping around more lively than ever?

“Sir Knight, quick, fire another blast!”

Lorena also clenched her fists and shouted loudly, while Duanmu Huai shook his head.

“It's useless, the opponent is a Shadow Creature. No matter how much we hit, it won't work.”

The moment Duanmu Huai saw the monster, he immediately understood its true nature.

Just as he had said, this was a Shadow Creature.

In the Faelun World, there exists a half-plane called the Shadow Plane, where everything is composed of shadows. In that world, there are only two colors, black and white. Everything there is a twisted deformation of what exists on the Plane of Major Material–like a tree's shadow under the sunlight, which becomes a tree in the Shadow Plane.

The reason why this guy didn't die was simple. Clearly, when the Light Spear swept the ground, this creature had switched dimensions, returning to its Shadow Plane. So even if Duanmu had leveled the ground to nothing, it wouldn't have harmed a single hair on it.

The Shadow Plane is filled with various Undead Creatures and negative energy entities, but Duanmu had never seen any Shadow Creature possess the ability to create Untouchables.

Thinking this, Duanmu Huai clenched his War Hammer and stepped forward.

“Are you the Supreme True God?”

“How dare you directly call upon the name of the True God!”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the Shadow Giant roared in anger. Its roaring echoed between heaven and earth, and as the Shadow Giant roared, the temperature around them suddenly dropped again. The girls also furrowed their brows; they felt that a strange power was seeping around them, an eerie chill different from the natural cold.

“Foolish mortal, you have no understanding of the might of the Supreme True God, you…”

Before the Shadow Giant could finish speaking, Duanmu Huai tightened his grip on the War Hammer and swung it forward with force. The Thunder Warhammer roared out instantly, striking directly at the forehead of the Shadow Giant. The next moment, the Shadow Giant swelled up like a balloon and then exploded abruptly, its body transforming into a sky-covering black curtain, directly enveloping Duanmu Huai and his companions above their heads!

In the blink of an eye, everything around them had completely changed. The previously snowy mountain ranges had now turned pitch black like heaps of coal, and even the sky, formerly clear and unblemished, was now covered with black clouds, creating a roaring wind, with darkness prevailing all around.

“What's going on?”

Seeing this scene, the girls were startled. Lorena lifted the Holy Canon, Mary took out her Magic Wand, and Tione drew her Twin Swords, cautiously watching around.

“Don't worry, this has thrown us into the Shadow Plane. As I expected, I knew this guy wouldn't be easy to deal with.”

Duanmu Huai remained quite calm. In fact, when he saw the Shadow Giant, he had guessed that it would do this. On the main plane, it was clear that it couldn't defeat him, but things were different in the Shadow Plane; at least there, it could block attacks from high orbit.

Duanmu Huai could feel that the other party had already noticed their arrival. Normally, the Shadow Plane is very quiet, like a still pool, without any movement, everything seeming as if it were dead. However, now the shadows here had transformed into wild winds, sweeping toward them omnidirectionally, with dark clouds swirling overhead like a whirlpool, appearing as though they were about to fall to the ground and crush everything below.

Before them, a fortress made entirely of shadows suddenly rose, with huge guardian statues on either side of its gate. Streaks of black lightning fell from the clouds, striking the ground, and then Duanmu Huai and his companions saw figures cloaked in black slowly emerging from beneath the ground.

Without needing Mary to explain, Duanmu Huai could tell that these were all Untouchables; in the Shadow Plane, they had lost the bodies of the Plane of Major Material and had completely turned into existences resembling human-shaped black holes. They were like self-aware silhouettes that could move, even their facial features seemed to have melted into the shadows, nowhere to be found.

“Alright, let's get ready to move.”

Duanmu Huai grasped his Thunder Warhammer and loosened up his body, staring at the Untouchables before him.

“Let's charge in directly!”

No sooner had he spoken than Duanmu Huai took a big step forward, and his jet backpack instantly burst out, propelling him like a missile directly into the crowd ahead!

“Boom!!”

And thus, the battle began.

In front of Duanmu Huai, these Shadow Soldiers were incredibly fragile. They howled and raised their hands, lunging at Duanmu Huai. From the outside, it looked almost like a suicidal attack, but Duanmu Huai knew that these Shadow Soldiers' hands were filled with overflowing negative energy. Any lifeform touched by them a few times would likely die instantly.

Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had the foresight to bring none but the strong this time.

Lorena, holding the Holy Canon, knocked away anyone she saw. She was radiating brilliant Holy Light from all over her body, keeping the Shadow Soldiers at bay almost fearfully.

Compared to her, Mary was a bit unlucky. Her moonlight magic was almost useless here. Her summoned ice blades nearly dissolved before even striking the Shadow Soldiers due to their anti-magic stance. After several unsuccessful attempts with magic, Mary had no choice but to take cover behind Duanmu Huai and resort to cold shooting–thank God, although the Shadow Soldiers had high magic resistance, they were not very resistant to bullets.

As for Tione… it must be said, her performance indeed surprised Duanmu Huai.

Looking at the multitude of Shadow Soldiers, Tione, contrary to her previously weak and timid appearance, grabbed onto twin swords and unhesitatingly charged into the crowd. Then Duanmu Huai saw her transform into a spinning blade of fury, cutting all the surrounding Shadow Soldiers into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Tione's action, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be reminded of his old days playing Three Kingdoms Musou–charge in, rage up, unleash ultimate, rage up, unleash ultimate, rage up, unleash ultimate, and then chant, 'The enemy is ashamed, I shall strip them of their clothes!'
She was non-stop with the ultimate moves–it was a constant barrage of them!

No wonder she's called Dancing Blade…

Watching Tione whirl like a tornado from one end to the other, cutting all the Shadow Soldiers in her path into shreds, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but admire, “Truly, there are only misplaced names, not misplaced nicknames… This lady fighst even fiercer than I do.”

After all, Duanmu Huai didn't have any Musou ultimate skills for clearing fields; his ultimate skills were mainly single-target, with no AOE for mass clearing–after all, that was normally a job handled by a warship.

But he didn't need them.

“Hmph!”

Seeing the Shadow Soldiers charging towards him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, took big strides forward, and with one swing of his war hammer, he sent all the Shadow Soldiers in front of him flying. The Shadow Soldiers hit by Duanmu Huai's Thunder Warhammer flew back like ice sculptures, then shattered into pieces midair, their shards hitting their comrades behind them like a shotgun blast, turning them into tragic casualties.

If one were to look from above, Duanmu Huai would appear to be sweeping the streets, with the Shadow Soldiers much like dust–whenever he swung his hammer, the surrounding Shadow Soldiers vanished as if they were dust being swept away.

If Tione resembled a bomber, leaving devastation wherever she went, then Duanmu Huai was like an unshakable tank, just driving forward, smashing everything in his path into debris!

“Bang!!”

Duanmu Huai again hammered down, sending the enemies directly flying. As he scanned the surroundings, the group had now reached the great hall of the Shadow Castle, with raging storms and glinting shadows all around. The blocking Shadow Soldiers were becoming fewer, whether they were all dead or had other plans.

“Roar——–!”

However, just then, a thunderous roar suddenly broke out, and Duanmu Huai looked up to see, in the nearby sky, several portals suddenly opening. Following that, numerous Geassian Yankees controlling Red Dragons burst through, charging toward them!

As expected, he has a connection with the Geassian Yankees!

Upon seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai's expression darkened.

“Take down those Alien Hybrids!”
