A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 505

Chapter 505: Chapter 378: Mountain bandit? _1 Chapter 505: Chapter 378: Mountain bandit? _1 Dealing with these common people did not require much effort from Duanmu Huai; he easily chopped them into pieces. Only then did Duanmu Huai turn to Masou Shizuka to ask what had happened.

“So, what's the story?”

“Well… I suppose it was just bad luck.”

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Masou Shizuka heaved a sigh and began to recount.

In Seth's capital, she and Duanmu Huai had separated. Masou Shizuka and Kendou Kanami went sightseeing nearby, as Seth was in the Magic Kingdom, which held countless appeal to a mage like Masou Shizuka. Not only did they tour Seth's Royal City, but also nearby towns. However, when they had finished sightseeing and were planning to return to the Royal City, their carriage was attacked by a group of robbers. These despicable men even used a child as a hostage, preventing Masou Shizuka from fighting back.

Kendou Kanami valiantly decided to use her ninja invisibility technique to rescue the girl and break the stalemate.

But as a result… the child was saved, but Kanami was captured by the robbers.

Fortunately, the robbers also feared the army and hurriedly retreated after the incident, taking their looted treasures and hostages. Masou Shizuka, of course, didn't want to let Kendou Kanami be taken away. So she pursued them, a conflict ensued, and … things ended up like this.

“Hold on, aren't you a mage? You couldn't even take on a few robbers?”

“If it were a direct confrontation, I wouldn't be afraid, but in the forest…”

Well, that's fair enough.

After all, mages in this world are purely long-range artillery, maximized in direct combat. But it's a different story in a forest where vision is blocked and targets are hard to locate. No wonder Masou Shizuka was chased around by these robbers.

Speaking of which, a group of robbers managed to catch Kanami… This ninja is not skilled at her craft.

Oh, I remember she did say that she was a runaway ninja who escaped from O.J.

…Ah, that makes sense then.

“Where did the robbers take Kanami?”

“Over there.”

Under Zhi Jingxiang's guidance, Duanmu Huai and Ogis went deeper into the forest. On the way, Duanmu Huai also told Masou Shizuka about his study to become a Demon Beast Trainer in Seth. When Masou Shizuka learned that Duanmu Huai wanted to become a Demon Beast Trainer to capture the Demon King, she was quite taken aback.

“Even though I know you're pretty powerful, capturing the Demon King… Well, I have to admit, only you would think of something like that.”

“What do you think? Is it theoretically possible?”

“Theoretically… it should be possible? Or maybe you could try catching a Demon first as an experiment? After all, Demons are also created with the Demon King's blood. If a Demon can be successfully captured, there should be no problem with the Demon King?”

As she spoke, a mischievous grin appeared on Jingxiang's face. Come to think of it, they had also suffered a lot at the hands of the Demon back in Lisas. So seeking revenge against a Demon was not unreasonable.

“That's a good idea, worth a try.”

Duanmu Huai remembered the Demon that had been chasing Kanami when they first met. Unfortunately, he didn't know where she had gone afterward, especially since she wasn't in Lisas' Royal City. If they happened to encounter her again, then… yes, he might as well use her for an experiment.

“Stop right there!”

However, just then, several fully armed men suddenly emerged from the bushes, blocking Duanmu Huai and the others' path with their weapons.

“Who are you people? What do you want?”

But before Duanmu Huai could answer, another soldier caught sight of Masou Shizuka's attire and immediately blanched.

“She's a mage, kill them!”

As soon as the words were out, these soldiers raised their weapons and charged at the three.

“You're asking for death!”

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's face sank, and in the next instant, he stepped forward, unsheathing his greatsword with a cold snort, and slashing.

Accompanying his motion, a chilling and quietly menacing aura suddenly exploded. The soldiers only felt a blur before their eyes. In the next moment, their movements ceased. A terrifying icy chill rose from the ground beneath them, seeping into their bodies from their feet to their heads, leaving their bodies shivering uncontrollably within the icy cold. They could only watch in despair as the greatsword fell towards them!

“Boom!!!”

In the next instant, the standing soldiers were torn apart by the explosive force of the greatsword, their bodies reduced to shattered limbs, scattered across the ground.

“I didn't expect that they would dare to attack you.”

Masou Shizuka poked her head out from behind Duanmu Huai, speaking with a sense of amazement. At her words, Ogis at the side tilted her head in confusion.

“I suggest Master shows his face, so we don't have to worry about people getting in our way.”

“Enough, you two. Besides, those guys charged because they saw you.”

Duanmu Huai glared at Ogis, then turned to Masou Shizuka. He was well aware that initially, the soldiers were terrified when they saw him. But when they caught sight of Masou Shizuka, they raised their weapons again and attacked.
