A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 140: Chapter 121: Entrance_2

“A vigorous circulation of magic power? Is that dangerous?”

“Of course, the magic power down there is very unstable… Hmm, maybe it’s because the person controlling magic lacks the necessary skill? If you aren’t careful, you can easily lose control of the magic power, causing an explosion.”

“How powerful could it be?”

“Destroying the entire Royal City wouldn’t be a problem.”

Having heard Ann’s answer, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment, then turned to look at her.

“Ann, suppose we rush over now, to deal with the out-of-control magic power, how confident are you?”

“Eh? Well…at most one minute.”

“Is that enough time?”

“We can use the stable form of Colettus Magic to firstly stabilize it, and then…”

As she spoke, Ann stretched out her fingers, drawing in the air a set of calculations resembling high math equations, then she nodded.

“No problem, I can handle it.”

“Very good.”

Hearing Ann’s reply, Duanmu Huai nodded, then he took out the Thunder Warhammer and held it in his hand.

“Now, listen carefully everyone, the plan is simple. We rush directly to the water source, secure the Dimension Stone, Ann, while I distract those guys, you go straight in and take control of the magic power. Don’t bother with anything else. Ogis, it’s your job to protect Ann, Princess, please assist from the sideline, is everyone clear?”

“Understood.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Alright.”

Following Duanmu Huai’s command, the three of them each nodded, then Duanmu Huai turned around, looking straight ahead.

“Well… let’s get started!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the very next moment, Duanmu Huai began to sprint forward.

In the dim sewer, a large figure clad in black armor moved as quiet as a ghost, sprinting forward at an incredible pace. It was not that Duanmu Huai himself was fast, but the “Gravity Gloves” he was using – gloves that freely manipulated gravity. Naturally, they could be used on oneself. By reducing one’s own gravity, one’s speed naturally increases. This was a unique use of the Gravity Gloves that Duanmu Huai had developed.

Just the simple act of increasing and reducing gravity could produce various effects, truly a divine artifact for players.

It was with these gloves that Duanmu Huai was able to sprint as fast and nimble as a cat, without making any noise. By the time the soldiers guarding the water source realized something was amiss, Duanmu Huai had already appeared in their field of vision.

“Who is that?!!”

The guards shouted as they raised their weapons, however, at the same time, Duanmu Huai extended his hand towards them and pulled forcefully!

Invisible gravity instantly changed direction, dragging the guards and the iron door they were guarding. The soldiers screamed and writhed. At this moment, they were not flying forward, but falling towards the abyss. They could only watch in despair as they “fell” before this terrifying black beast. Then …he swung the Warhammer.

“Boom!!!!!”

The sweeping warhammer knocked the fully armed soldiers flying. Their bodies and limbs twisted and deformed under the impact, falling along with the heavy iron door. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai lunged into the water source.

In contrast to the filth of the sewer, the water source was exceptionally clear, with water gushing from a white stone-carved circular pond that sloped into a torrent in the middle of a massive hollow. At the same time, Duanmu recognized a massive Dimension Stone at the very center – it was the stone he had dug out from Modheim’s slums, situated at the heart of the fallen city.

At this moment, the Dimension Stone stood upright in the middle of the water source, emitting a dazzling magical glow. Around the crystal stood nine Circles, each with a mysterious drawing inside, and an Evil God Cultist standing in each one.

However….something seemed strange at the moment.

From the middle of the Dimension Stone, energy burst out like lightning, striking the disciples who were shaking their bodies as if they had epilepsy, appearing as if they were being forced to do the disco dance.

What was going on?

Duanmu Huai’s question was quickly answered.

“As expected, the magic has gone out of control!”

Ann, who rushed in right after him, exclaimed upon seeing the scene, Duanmu Huai turned to look at her.

“Out of control?”

“Yes, they were likely trying to use the nine Circles to stabilize and diffuse the powerful magical force erupting from the centre, but something seems to have gone wrong. They are now completely tangled with this force, like a person being struck by electricity and unable to separate.”

“Oh———”

Glancing at the stone powder next to the Circle, everything suddenly made sense to Duanmu Huai. Clearly, these Evil God Cultists had used the Dimension Stones to set up the Array and tried to stabilize the magic power. However, these Dimension Stones had been secretly substituted with ordinary stones – stones that cannot absorb magic power.

So, these idiots screwed up. Hahahahaha.
