A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2694: Chapter 1821: Rolling a Snowball (The Cat Who Strives to Devour Rice Every Day)—Part 2

Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth and glanced at the progress chart.

It’s only at 68% now, he just hopes that group of Evil Gods will be more cautious, at least not take action directly before the Ether Synchronous Engine is completed.

For Duanmu Huai, everything went smoothly so far according to plan, but for others, this was somewhat... not very promising to watch.

"Ugh..."

Standing on the battlefield, Naruse Mio and Greiya watched the scene before them with complex emotions, not knowing quite what to say. Except for Ann, Mary, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin, who needed to hold the fort at the core, since the advance of the operation to the second phase, almost all other girls had entered the battlefield, starting to fight against those Demons.

Of course, at first, they struggled against the Demons, but after Duanmu Huai connected and launched several full-scale attacks, the battle situation improved significantly.

Even so, though...

"Honestly, this feels really unpleasant."

Naruse Mio looked at the battlefield in front of her with a speechless expression, and Greiya nodded in agreement with trepidation. The battlefield had now shifted from space to the surface of warships and the Planet Fortress. But the problem was not only that; since Duanmu Huai activated the divine seal to take control of those Demon corpses and turned them into Corpse Variants, the numerous Corpse Variants enveloped the entire surface of the Planet Fortress and warships. From a distance, these warships and fortresses, originally made of metal, now looked like masses covered by a swarm of maggots, their incessant wriggling was enough to make one break out in a cold sweat.

And for the girls on the battlefield, watching those twisted, mutated Demon corpses baring their fangs and claws crawling all over, it was hard for them to distinguish who the real enemy was.

At least Naruse Mio was startled several times and attacked the wrong target, but fortunately, those Corpse Variants ignored her...

Though the Demon Army on the other side was disgusting, Naruse Mio felt that the Corpse Variants on her side weren’t much better.

All the same behavior...

If she hadn’t been with Duanmu Huai long enough to know that the Tribunal wasn’t a particularly benevolent and righteous organization, Naruse Mio might start to suspect what the difference was between her and the other side — well, presumably the difference is standing on the human side?

At any rate, at least now those scattered Demon forces no longer need their attention, the only thing the girls have to focus on now, are the Demon leaders commanding their armies.

And the first to encounter them was naturally the blade-wielding Mianmu Zuoniao, who was having a great time slaying on the battlefield.

"Ahahaha, this is fun, with so many non-human things to kill, it’s awesome!"

The girl darted around the battlefield like a hunting dog, her blade in hand flashing with vivid red light. Wherever she went, Demons were chopped into pieces, and their death and wailing only fueled Mianmu Zuoniao’s excitement and joy. Her pace didn’t slow until a tall, Fresh Red figure stood in front of her, blocking her path.

"Mortal!"

The Demon holding a Giant Axe roared loudly, its rage burning like fire, its eyes full of hatred and destruction for this world.

"How dare you block our path!"

"Ahahaha? This big guy seems pretty interesting."

Facing the Demon, Mianmu Zuoniao showed no fear, although others would fall into indescribable panic and fear just by looking at these Demons, for Mianmu Zuoniao, her face only showed curiosity and anticipation.

"Those Demons are quite interesting too, I wonder if you’ll be even more interesting?"

As she finished her words, Mianmu Zuoniao suddenly accelerated, charging towards the two-axe Troll before her with the Sharp Blade in hand. The latter roared and opened its wings, at the same time swinging its axe forward, towards the seemingly fragile figure in its eyes.

The axe whistled down, the tearing air turning into countless explosive airwaves, shredding everything around into pieces. Yet Mianmu Zuoniao flashed through like a Ghost, those air blades that could tear bodies apart brushed past her, not even causing a ripple in her expression. She rushed to the Demon’s front at almost maximum speed, flipping the Sharp Blade in her hand, and stabbed directly into the knee of the Fresh Red Demon.

"Roar———!"

The pained Demon roared, feeling as if its knee was stung hard by a scorpion, a nameless agony shooting through its nerves into its entire body. This made the Fresh Red Demon bellow loudly, kicking out, yet Mianmu Zuoniao already twisted her body, disappearing into the vast crowd of the battlefield.

"Come out, you despicable rat!"

The Demon glaring angrily around, only seeing the vast army of Blood Suckers and Corpse Variant Forces fighting each other. It wanted to find the one who just struck it, but could not locate that figure again in this chaotic battlefield.

But at that moment, another Shadow suddenly emerged from behind the Great Demon, pouncing towards the Fresh Red Demon. At that instant, the Fresh Red Demon snarled once more, spinning around and swinging its Battle Axe without hesitation!

This time, the opponent was in the air, there was no way it could miss!

As the Fresh Red Demon thought, facing its attack, the small figure could not dodge. But... she didn’t need to dodge!

Looking at the Battle Axe blade almost as tall as herself in front, Lorena showed no fear, she clasped her Holy Canon in both hands, holding it to her chest, blocking the air wave blast that came with the Giant Axe charge, then the Nun tightened her fist, raising it high, swinging down hard against the Giant Axe before her!

[Lorena’s Iron Fist]!

"Bang!!!!"

"No———————!"

The Fresh Red Demon widened its eyes in shock, unable to believe the scene in front of it, the Battle Axe in its hand shattered and exploded, the immense impact force even extending along the shattered axe to its arm, those sturdy, strong arms could not withstand Lorena’s punch comparable to Duanmu Huai’s power, directly blowing apart the flesh and blood, pushing its huge body back.

Almost at the same time, Mianmu Zuoniao appeared again, stepping on a twisted mutated Corpse Variant, leaping high and raising her blade. As the cold light flashed, the roar of the Fresh Red Demon shook the entire battlefield. Meanwhile, its wings fell from its body, plummeting to the ground.

"I won’t let you get away, mortals!"

Pain and rage completely infuriated the Fresh Red Demon before their eyes.

"Blood sacrifices to the Blood God, skull offerings to the Skull Throne! Die!"
