A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 150: Chapter 129: Deep in Hell_1

Within the subspace, the concept of time doesn’t exist.

Duanmu Huai had no idea how many demons he had slain; he had somewhat become numb to it all. Countless demons surged from every direction, attempting to engulf the enemy before them. However, Duanmu Huai, brandishing his War Hammer, consistently annihilated them one wave after another. He lost count of how many demons he had bludgeoned to death, to the point where he was feeling somewhat weary.

“Huff….”

After smashing a minotaur into a bloody pulp with his War Hammer, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but yawn. He felt as though he was playing a demon-slaying game, constantly grinding enemies. But the problem was – these beasts weren’t dropping any Dark Golden Loots, were they?

That guy could really hold out, huh.

Looking back at the initial post by the player claiming “The mission isn’t hard, just slaying demons”, Duanmu Huai was filled with admiration. The sheer number of demons would overwhelm most players!

Just like a truck driver cruising down the highway would eventually tire, staring at these demons brought no more emotional response to Duanmu Huai. He felt like a robot, mechanically swinging his War Hammer, smashing demons, advancing, smashing more demons, and then advancing again. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

To be frank, if he could use Soul Card, Duanmu Huai really wanted to summon Ogis for a chat. Unfortunately, when he entered Hell, the servant summoning from the Soul Card was sealed off. Clearly, this mission was a solo demon-slaying journey for Duanmu Huai, not something that could be delegated to others.

“Boom!!!”

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden burst of explosion and rumbling echoed from the distance, snapping Duanmu Huai out of his mindlessly mechanistic demon-slaying spree. He instinctively turned his head towards the sound, seeing pillars of fire rising into the sky and the sounds of battle resonating through the air.

Was that… a war?

There were others grinding demons in hell like him?

Suddenly, Duanmu Huai was wide awake. It was as if a bored player suddenly stumbled upon a surprise event, instantly invigorating them. Duanmu Huai then bulldozed his way through the demons blocking him and stepped on their corpses, heading towards the source of the commotion.

Moments later, Duanmu Huai finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield, witnessing the two sides at war.

Sure enough, one side was the all-too-familiar demons and the other unexpectedly comprised humans.

Or at least, they appeared to be humans.

They were dressed in full-body armor similar to Sacred Knights, wielding swords, spears, and firearms, locked in fierce combat with the demons. Unfortunately, these unknown warriors seemed to be at the end of their strength. It appeared it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated by the demons.

That just won’t do!

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai instantly furrowed his brows. Grinding demons solo in Hell for so long had bored him; he would chat even with a rabbit if there was one. But these were humans… Regardless, since they were also enemies of the demons, naturally, he should lend a hand!

With that thought, Duanmu Huai no longer hesitated, he leaped down from the cliff, diving straight into the battlefield below!

“Boom!!!”

The sudden appearance of a massive silhouette startled both parties. The warriors wielding energy weapons looked at the towering figure in front of them, uncertain whether he was foe or friend. The demons on the other hand, appeared just as bewildered.

Only after Duanmu Huai picked up his war hammer and devastated the demons in front did they finally realize what was happening.

Gosh, he’s with us!!

With Duanmu Huai’s reinforcement, the demons were instantly thrown into chaos. With his strength, slaying these demons was like grinding low-level creatures in Diablo; swing the War Hammer, and piles of bloody flesh lay sprinkled on the ground, ensuring even the snipers in the distance weren’t spared. He simply reached out and with the aid of his Gravity Gloves, pulled the sneaky creatures in front of him and smashed them into pulp with his War Hammer.

In just a moment, the tide turned in their favor. The previously disintegrating knights managed to regroup and under Duanmu Huai’s protection, launched another charge at the demons. After a big chunk of their numbers were wiped out by Duanmu Huai, they also began to scatter and flee frantically. It was clear that although these demons resembled the minions of the Brutal God, they definitely were not.

If the Brutal God were to find out that his demons were fleeing, that would be a tragic sight.

“—————–!!!”

However, the battle was far from over.

As the demons scattered, a roar echoed suddenly, a gigantic demon, a few dozen stories tall and adorned with bull’s horns, charged out from the side, its massive blade aimed squarely at Duanmu Huai!

“Dammit!”

Seeing the colossal demon, Duanmu Huai roared back. Immediately, a gleam flashed at him, followed by “Armed Enhancement” and “Sacred Knight’s Summon” exploding again. Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai lifted his War Hammer and charged headfirst towards the massive blade coming his way!!
