A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 Chapter 524 The Disappearing Person_1

Chapter 713: Chapter 524: The Disappearing Person_1 Chapter 713: Chapter 524: The Disappearing Person_1 For Mary, this was a spectacle she’d never seen before.

Flame Evil Dogs sprang at Lorena from all directions, like a pack of famished wolves, the sight alone was enough to make anyone anxious. However, Lorena paid no heed to these Flame Evil Dogs. She gripped tightly onto the Holy Canon, a book as thick as the Oxford Dictionary, and coolly faced the onslaught. Each time a Flame Evil Dog lunged at her, she did not hesitate to strike it with the book, splitting its head open and causing it to explode instantly.

Although a few Flame Evil Dogs tried to corner her, Lorena clearly did not fear their assault.

“Woof woof woof!!”

Before long, two Flame Evil Dogs attacked Lorena from both sides. They leapt simultaneously, one aiming for Lorena’s neck while another aimed for her arm. But in the face of their coordinated attack, Lorena once again seized her Holy Canon and swung it forward. She hurled the hefty book forward with a force reminiscent of a lightning bolt, immediately knocking the two Flame Evil Dogs flying.

But it wasn’t over yet!

“Woof!”

At that moment, another Flame Evil Dog seized the opportunity and sprung forward, clamping its jaws tightly around the Holy Canon in Lorena’s hand. It was clear that these creatures were not fools. They recognised Lorena’s biggest weapon was the book. Lorena could not break free for a moment, and at the same time, the other Flame Evil Dogs saw their chance and viciously charged at Lorena once more from the other side!

“Miss Lorena!”

Seeing this, Mary’s heart jumped into her throat. She had seen how formidable Lorena’s Holy Canon could be. Now that it was sealed, what could Lorena do?

At that moment, Mary witnessed something she wouldn’t believe.

Facing a pack of Flame Evil Dogs lunging at her, Lorena released the Holy Canon from her right hand, clenched her fist tightly, and swung forward!

“Boom————!!!”

Then an explosive noise, similar to that of an aircraft engine, filled the air. Dark City’s solid ground appeared as if crushed by an invisible force; it shattered, cracked, and sank. The Flame Evil Dogs were swept away by her fist wind and instantly torn to shreds.

“……………”

Even Mary, a typically composed lady, was astounded, her mouth agape and eyes wide in disbelief.

For Duanmu Huai, this was anything but surprising. ‘Lorena’s Iron Fist’ was a standalone Soul Card, wasn’t its power absolutely staggering?

After all, the effect of ‘Lorena’s Iron Fist’ was as high as the highest attack power on the field. In other words, Lorena’s punch was equivalent to one unleashed by Duanmu Huai himself.

“Rawr…”}

Seeing its replicated Flame Evil Dogs annihilated by Lorena, the gigantic Flame Monster finally seemed to be overcome with fear. It quickly turned to run away, but at that moment, a sharp-looking, pitch-black walking stick extended from the darkness, unmercifully snagging the Flame Monster’s throat, pulling it back!

“Rawr———–!!”

At that moment, the previously imposing Flame Monster resembled a stray dog being captured by city security on the streets. Its momentum was instantly lost; it cried out and struggled in vain, but the hook remained steadfast. The Flame Monster was completely helpless, all previous violence and horrifying demeanor gone. Even the flames on its body began to dim; its red eyes which covered its entire body distorted with fear!

Duanmu Huai then held onto the walking stick, taking slow steps towards the Flame Monster. He coldly looked at the Flame Monster that was desperately struggling, stepped in front of it, raised his right foot, and stomped on the Flame Monster’s head!

“Bang!”

At this moment, even Mary couldn’t bear to watch and turned her head away. Although she understood the evil nature of the Flame Demon Beast and knew it had killed many people, seeing it tortured helplessly by Duanmu Huai like a mangy dog still made her heart ache.

“Ahhh————!”

Being a creature of low rank, the Flame Demon Beast was naturally no match for Duanmu Huai. It let out a miserable cry, then disappeared into thin air just beneath Duanmu Huai’s feet.

Then right after………

“Ahh———-!!!”

A screeching cry and wailing suddenly sounded, startling Mary. She quickly turned her head towards the noise and saw a figure stumbling and struggling to leave. Of course, Duanmu Huai wasn’t going to let him escape. He signaled to Lorena who promptly blocked the man’s path. Both Duanmu Huai and Mary then moved in to completely corner the man.

The man was middle-aged and clad in a crumpled suit, he held a leather bag preciously in his arms. In fact, this man was all too familiar to Mary.

“Professor Capek?”

Indeed, the person before them wasn’t anyone else but Professor Capek. However, he now bore a monstrous appearance, his skin was pitch black. His eyes, nostrils, and mouth were all bleeding.

“Professor Capek! It really is you!”

Upon seeing Professor Capek’s figure, Mary couldn’t restrain herself anymore.

“What exactly happened? Tell me, why would you and Shirley do things like this!”

“Ha… ha…”

However, Professor Capek seemed not to hear Mary’s questioning. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, then looked up at the sky.

“Charlotte… at least… at least… stay sane…. as gracious as you…. please…. escape… from this endless pain… I firmly… believe in this…”

“Professor Capek! What the hell are you talking about? What happened to Shirley?!”

Mary quickly reached out, trying to grab the collar of Professor Capek’s clothes. Such an uncouth action didn’t befit a lady of her status, but her concern for her friend overrode such considerations.

However, before her fingers could touch Capek, something horrifying happened.

Under everyone’s gaze, Capek’s body suddenly started to melt. His clothes, skin, bones, and muscles all melted like plastic, merging with his blood and falling to the ground. The ground seemingly absorbed it all, completely disappearing from sight.

Seeing this, Mary was stunned and at a loss for words. Duanmu Huai and Lorena both frowned, staring at the putrid, stinking remnants in front of them.

“…………”

Just like that.

A man had completely disappeared from this world.
