A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1261 Chapter 852 The Nameless Ones

Chapter 1261: Chapter 852 The Nameless Ones Chapter 1261: Chapter 852 The Nameless Ones The torrential rain had already stopped, but the chill that followed had not dissipated.

The old man stood in front of the counter, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window with a serious expression.

“Really now, where on earth could Dong Xiang and Chushi have gone? And that kid Jin Mu too…”

A guy in a waiter’s outfit, sporting an outdated flattop haircut, grumbled in a low voice, while the long-haired woman beside him silently cleaned the utensils in her hands.

“They probably went out to play somewhere, after all, they are just kids.”

Another man with blonde hair and glasses, sitting at the bar, snorted lightly and then stood up.

“I’m heading home. I have no interest in wasting time here waiting for those brats to come back.”

As he spoke, the blonde guy with glasses waved his hand at everyone and walked towards the door.

Seeing his action, the other three exchanged glances and shared a knowing smile. They were well aware that although the blonde guy with glasses said so, he was in fact going out to look for Jin Mu and the others. That’s just how he was; even though his words were harsh, he really took care of his juniors.

“Really, a bunch of kids who never grow up…”

Muttering under his breath, the blonde guy with glasses reached the door and stretched out his hand to grab the doorknob.

“Puchi!”

At the same moment, the thick door suddenly burst open, and an Iron Fist exploded out from within, hitting the blonde man in the face. In an instant, his head blew apart like a watermelon, with fragments of brain pulp and flesh splattering everywhere, while his headless body swayed from side to side before thudding to the ground.

Then, Duanmu Huai’s tall figure stepped in from outside, he raised his head to look around, then shook off the blood from his hand.

“What a filthy and ugly place, I can’t stand the stench of mongrels anymore…”

“————–!”

Just as Duanmu Huai walked through the entrance, the somewhat overweight flattop man and the long-haired woman leapt up from behind the counter with movements that humans could hardly achieve. A tail appeared behind the flattop man, and two pairs of peculiar wings materialized behind the long-haired woman, both aiming at Duanmu Huai.

The next moment, their heads were firmly grasped by the large hands of Duanmu Huai. Before they could struggle, Duanmu Huai squeezed his hands forcefully, and their heads simply turned into a bloody mess like crushed oranges. After releasing his hands, Duanmu Huai let the two bodies fall to the ground. He then slowly shifted his gaze, looking at the white-haired old man who had been standing behind the bar the whole time.

“Now it’s just you left, old man. Come out and face your death.”

“……….”

The old man sighed and slowly walked around the bar towards Duanmu Huai, remaining silent for a moment.

“How are Dong Xiang and the others?”

“They are already dead.”

Duanmu Huai moved his fingers, revealing a ferocious and brutal smile towards the old man.

“Don’t worry, you’ll soon be joining them in that world.”

“Is that so…”

The old man looked around, then withdrew his gaze.

“Let’s go somewhere else; we don’t want to disturb the neighbors here.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Duanmu Huai was indifferent to the old man’s suggestion.

“It’s only a matter of time anyway.”

“Follow me.”

As he spoke, the old man headed towards the door, with Duanmu Huai following behind. The two left the cafe one after the other and arrived on the nearby street–where there was not a soul in sight. Snowflakes descended from the sky, covering the ground with a thin layer.

“Really now, I heard this is the year’s first snowfall, but here I am, tangled up with an old bastard.”

Duanmu Huai complained, looking at the old man before him.

“Let’s finish this quickly; I’m looking forward to enjoying a meal with a pretty girl.”

“Well, that’s indeed unfortunate.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s complaint, the old man chuckled and then his body gradually began to swell. In a short time, he had grown almost as tall as Duanmu Huai, his robust arms now adorned with bone spurs like the Knight’s Longspear. And on his face appeared a mask with only one eye.

“I too want to finish this quickly, so… come on, let’s slaughter each other!”

Along with his words, countless sharp spikes suddenly burst out from the huge Ghoul’s body, shooting at Duanmu Huai. But Duanmu Huai clenched his fists without care for the incoming spikes, and strode forward towards the massive Ghoul!

“Clang clang clang clang clang!”

The sharp spikes that could pierce through steel bounced off as they hit Duanmu Huai’s body, failing to inflict even the slightest injury. Duanmu Huai, facing the massive Ghoul’s onslaught, rushed forward and reached it. At the same time, the huge Ghoul also clenched its bone spurs and thrust hard at Duanmu Huai!

“Whoosh——–!”

Under the heavy air pressure, even the surrounding snowflakes danced along. Duanmu Huai’s clenched right fist, unconcerned, blasted forward, colliding with the oncoming bone spike!

“Bang!”

The cone-shaped bone spike directly hit Duanmu Huai’s fist; logically, this blow should have allowed the bone spike to pierce through Duanmu Huai’s palm, even tearing apart his arm. However, the outcome was completely different–the bone spike Long Spear, carrying the force of ten thousands of pounds, completely shattered upon contact with Duanmu Huai’s fist, as if a comet striking Earth, an incomparable, unstoppable force instantly piercing through the massive Ghoul’s arm, causing it to burst like a balloon.
