A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050: Chapter 723: Firepower is Everything! Chapter 1050: Chapter 723: Firepower is Everything! The Geassian Yankees had dominated the Star Realm for numerous years, having become a force to be reckoned with. Their alliance with Tiamat, Queen of the Five-Colored Dragons, had secured them the assistance of the Dragon Race. With the help of these formidable creatures, the Geassian Yankees, accompanied by dragons, rampaged through the Star Ocean, burning, killing, and plundering at will; with the dragons' help, they were nearly unstoppable.

This time was no different for them. To the Geassian Yankees, when they crossed through the dimensional gate to arrive at the Shadow Plane and saw a few individuals on the ground who seemed as insignificant as insects, their hearts were filled with disdain and contempt. To them, such enemies were nothing–a single blast of dragon breath would suffice…
However, that was as far as their thoughts went.

When the Geassian Yankees saw Duanmu Huai and his companions, Duanmu Huai naturally also saw the bunch of bastards flaunting their prowess atop giant reptiles.

If it were anyone else, merely the sight of a giant dragon might have them trembling in fear; however, Duanmu Huai merely glanced at them once, then nonchalantly gave the order.

“Kill those alien hybrids.”

No sooner had he spoken than Duanmu Huai clenched the war hammer, forcefully hurling it upwards. The Thunder Warhammer transformed into a projectile and shot forward, slamming directly into the chest of the Red Dragon in front of him. The Red Dragon, struck by the Thunder Warhammer, instantaneously burst apart as if made of tofu, exploding into fragments, and the Geassian Yankee on its back fared no better. Duanmu Huai's strike was beyond its ability to withstand; the devastating shockwave passed right through it, smashing it into pieces.

Seeing this, the other Geassian Yankees were suddenly shocked. Having roamed the Star Realm for many years, they had never encountered anyone who could kill a Red Dragon in a single blow, and they were immediately terrified, hastily trying to make their Red Dragons ascend to avoid further attacks.

Unfortunately for them, at the same moment Duanmu Huai gave his command, the other three companions also sprang into action.

Among the three, Lorena had the longest cooperation time with Duanmu Huai, second only to Ogis. Thus, the moment Duanmu Huai gave the order, Lorena had already leaped up using the nearby wall in two or three steps, hopping left and right and directly confronting another Red Dragon. She then raised the Holy Canon high above her head.

The Red Dragon, facing Lorena who approached with the Holy Canon raised, was even somewhat bewildered. In its several hundred years of life, it had never seen anyone attack using a book before. Weapons of divine caliber maybe, but a book capable of killing it?

As the Red Dragon pondered this, it saw Lorena yell sharply, and she swung the Holy Canon directly onto the Red Dragon's forehead.

“Pff—-!”

The moment the Holy Canon struck the Red Dragon's forehead, the Red Dragon felt as if what had hit it was not a book, but a mountain!

The tremendous impact smashed through the Red Dragon's skull. The Red Dragon's head burst like a water balloon, and it didn't even have the chance to express its astonishment before its head twisted sharply, instantly becoming a dead dragon.

This scene also left the Geassian Yankee on the Red Dragon utterly dumbfounded. Before he could even react, he saw Lorena leap onto the falling dragon's body to approach him, raising the Holy Canon and swinging it forcefully at him.

“Bang!”

The Geassian Yankee's head spun 180 degrees, whirling like a top as it flew off his body into the dark night.

At the same time, Tione had also drawn his twin swords. A burst of sword qi swelled enormously and instantly formed a ten-meter-long lightsaber, slicing the red dragon before him into several pieces like cutting ham.

Only the last Red Dragon had slightly better luck; though Mary had also learned how to fight, she was ultimately a step too slow. By the time she realized what was happening, three Red Dragons had already either been smashed to death by Duanmu Huai, hammered to death by Lorena, or chopped into ham by Tione, and only then had she managed to take out her gun and aim at the target.

Fortuitously, this wasn't a problem for those with Golden Pupils.

“Bang! Bang!”

Mary raised her hand, firing only two shots.

One bullet pierced the Red Dragon's eye, shooting straight through its head, while the other shattered the brain of a Geassian Yankee on its back–well, compared to others, at least these two were left with whole bodies, which was somewhat fortunate.

Although the Geassian Yankees' first wave of attack was repelled, it wasn't over; soon, several inter-dimensional portals opened up, and figures of Geassian Yankees emerged again.

“Such annoying bastards.”

Seeing so many Geassian Yankees, Duanmu Huai also furrowed his brows. The Shadow Plane was located between the main plane and the Star Realm, serving like a lubricant, making it quite convenient for people from either the main plane or the Star Realm to travel to the Shadow Plane. Anyone with a bit of experience in inter-dimensional travel could easily arrive at the Shadow Plane, and the base of the Geassian Yankees was in the Star Realm, making the travel here all too simple.

However, Duanmu Huai didn't have that many people here to help him block those Geassian Yankees. He could have summoned Anhe and others to handle these Geassian Yankees without difficulties, but there were untouchables scattered everywhere here. Mary's magic had been largely sealed, at least she could still shoot. If Anhe was here without magic, she would probably be nothing more than a cheerleader on the sidelines…

“Please leave it to me, Lord.”

At that moment, Tione landed once more. Holding his twin swords, he turned around to stand in front of Duanmu Huai and others.

“Merely petty thieves, not worth a strike!”

“Uh…………”
Looking at Tione before him, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a sense of deja vu. He remembered seeing in many animations and games where the main group would enter the boss's base, and one by one, allies stayed behind to cover the retreat until only the main character was left to face the boss alone… He wondered if this was also intending to replicate that scene.

However, Tione's capabilities had also been witnessed by Duanmu Huai, truly living up to the name “Dancing Blade,” masterful with his twin swords. Not to mention, Mary, serving as a mission indicator, was definitely indispensable here. Though she wasn't much of a fighter at the moment, Lorena was capable but only in single-target attacks, not good with crowd control, so they had to rely on Tione.

After all, she was also a legendary card, and considering both Anhe and Greiya could take on an army alone, her abilities with the sword shouldn't be lacking either.

No wonder Duanmu Huai was a bit skeptical; after all, Anhe, known as the Sorcerer Princess, was famous for her unassailable magic, capable of annihilating entire armies alone. But swordmanship… frankly, Duanmu had read some Immortal Hero novels with similar skills, like a single sword strike chilling across many lands, but given Tione's attire, he didn't seem like an immortal cultivator…

Nonetheless, they had no choice but to trust her.

However, Duanmu Huai was unwilling to act like those protagonists in games who would still venture in, only to create utter chaos; this was enemy territory, and one could imagine this damned place was definitely full of ambushes and traps. Only if Duanmu Huai were brain-damaged would he rush in and waste time.

He had a better idea.

“No need, watch this!”

Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and then reached out his hand, pulling out a perfectly square object from his waist.

“Mr. Duanmu, what is this??”

Mary looked at the object that Duanmu Huai pulled out, puzzled, whereas Lorena was shockingly horrified, grabbing Mary and quickly pulling her away.

“Run, Mary!”

“Huh?”

Mary was utterly confused, grabbed by Lorena without understanding what was happening. She just saw Duanmu Huai holding that square box, throwing something into it, and then swiftly retreating backward.

The very next moment———-an explosion occurred.

The violent explosion and shockwave shattered the entire castle, and a huge mushroom cloud rose to the sky. Even Tione and the Geassian Yankees soldiers, who were originally preparing for battle, were so shocked that they stared wide-eyed at the completely destroyed, crumbling Shadow Castle amidst the dust.

Mary also screamed and hurriedly crouched down on the ground. Fortunately, like a wall, Duanmu Huai stood in front of her and Lorena, shielding them from the impact of the explosion.

“Mr. Duanmu, what are you doing?”

Mary covered her ears, her eyes wide as she stared at the ruined castle in front of her. She hadn't expected Duanmu Huai to be so bold, tearing down the enemy's home without a second word?

“Following procedure, you know?”

Duanmu Huai stood in front of the two, holding the Thunder Warhammer in his hand, and coldly replied while looking ahead.

“After all, every Demon King's home collapses after they are defeated, so why should it not collapse sooner rather than later?”

“Uh………is that the reasoning?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's reply, Mary and Lorena were speechless.

Because the Demon King's home collapses after his defeat, you demolished the enemy's home?

What kind of logic is that?

However, at that moment, suddenly a voice arose.

“Demon King? Are you calling me a Demon King?”

Accompanied by the voice, everyone looked up, only to see a figure slowly walking out of the dust. He was clad in black armor, his face sullen and coldly glaring at Duanmu Huai.

“Is it not so?”

Duanmu Huai found this man extremely unpalatable, and the reason was simple–well, compared to himself, this guy was slightly handsome.

That made him very displeased.

In fact, Duanmu Huai had once thought of chopping down every man in the world who was handsomer than him.

Quickly thinking it over, the workload seemed too great, and he was afraid it was necessary to sign an Extinction Order.

But that did not mean he enjoyed seeing this pretty boy strut about in front of him.

“Of course, you miscreants.”

However, that man seemed entirely oblivious to Duanmu Huai's utterly malicious gaze and simply raised both hands.

“How dare you oppose me, a hero who once saved the world? Utterly foolish!”

“…………Hmm?”

At this, everyone was taken aback.

These words… seemed to imply something intriguing?
