A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 383 - 298: Explode! _1
Chapter 383: Chapter 298: Explode! _1
For Duanmu Huai, a mere Maryrose was not a concern, as he had said to Maryrose herself, he could easily kick away such a little girl. Even if Maryrose had a bit of book knowledge, given her height and weight, not to mention a real fight, just a collision would probably send her flying ten meters away by Duanmu Huai.
However… the reality was slightly different from what Duanmu Huai had expected.
“Stop running!”
“Hehehe, big guy, if you’re capable, come and catch me!”
This is so annoying!
Looking at Maryrose making faces and relentlessly mocking him, Duanmu Huai was infuriated. He didn’t expect that instead of engaging in combat with him, she kept dodging. Duanmu Huai wasn’t that fast to begin with, if she exchanged blows with him, he was confident that he could take her down. But Maryrose kept rolling and dodging around him, refusing to make contact, leaving Duanmu Huai in discomfort.
Meanwhile, she’d constantly make a face or mock him, then piss off Duanmu Huai and circle around him, but she never gave him a chance to catch her.
How to put it… It’s like trying to catch a kitten, but the kitten darts around your feet, making it impossible to catch, occasionally swiping a claw at you.
It doesn’t hurt much, but it’s very insulting. It can make you half dead with anger, but you can’t quite catch it!
Hey, little girl, I don’t believe I can’t deal with you!
After failing to catch Maryrose several times, anger rose from Duanmu Huai’s heart, and he became increasingly determined. After all, he was an experienced player who had been through hundreds of battles and knew how to deal with this type of character.
I can’t hit you?
Then let me try an AOE attack; let’s see if you can dodge it! These agile characters usually have weak AOE. I’ll hit a whole area in one move, let’s see how you dodge!
“Take this!”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai reached out again to catch Maryrose, who laughed and dodged, leaping out of the way of Duanmu Huai’s attack. But this was exactly what Duanmu Huai was aiming for!
Now’s the time!
“Hah!!!”
Just as Maryrose was about to touch down, Duanmu Huai let out a roar and then stomped on the ground. The ground instantly shook and the asphalt road cracked, sending dust and debris flying forward. Maryrose was caught off guard, completely surprised by the strength of Duanmu Huai. The moment she touched the ground, she completely lost balance due to the shaking, swaying left and right. While Maryrose was desperately waving her arms trying to regain balance, the oncoming debris and dust caught her off guard, instantly blocking her vision.
Damn it!
Now Maryrose also sensed something was wrong. She waved her hands trying to dispel the dust in front of her, but… sadly, it was too late.
“Hahhhhh!!!”
Duanmu Huai’s fist suddenly erupted from the dust, aiming straight at Maryrose. The girl, startled, quickly put her hands in front of her chest and activated her defense, attempting to block Duanmu Huai’s attack. However, his punch landed heavily on Maryrose’s arms, sending the petite girl flying backwards.
Still, it wasn’t over. As Maryrose was soaring through the air, Duanmu Huai moved forward again and blasted another punch, striking Maryrose again and continuing to send her flying upwards.
“Ugh… ugh…!”
At this point, all Maryrose could do was grit her teeth and endure. Due to Duanmu Huai’s powerful strike, her arms were already going numb and the violent shock went through her small body, making her feel as if her internal organs were going to burst.
Well, this is due to Duel City. Outside, Duanmu Huai’s punch would have completely obliterated her upper body.
“Boom!!!”
By the third attack, Maryrose could no longer keep her arms together. Opening them wide and losing balance, Duanmu Huai, seeing this, had a cold gleam in his eyes as he clenched his fists.
“It ends here!”
Duanmu Huai roared and next moment, his fists shone with intense light and turned into a violent onslaught, striking directly at Maryrose!
“Ora ora ora ora ora————!!!”
This time, Duanmu Huai’s fists were so fast that they looked like a shadow, completely enveloping Maryrose. Apart from Duanmu Huai’s shout and the sound of punches, Maryrose’s figure was no longer visible.
“…… Ora!!!”
Finally, as Duanmu Huai punched out again with a fierce roar, Maryrose was seen flying backwards like a cannonball and then heavily falling on the ground with a thud.
“KO!”
“Huff……”
Duanmu Huai lowered his fists and took a deep breath. As expected, there’s something different about a great technique. But…
Is this girl using a sound-based attack?
It was not until Duanmu Huai used Platinum Star that he discovered that this relentless bombardment was not just about him exerting all his might in a punch. To the contrary, this ultimate move also matched with his yelling!
In other words, the speed of his shout would dictate the speed of his punch. If he shouted quickly, he would punch quickly. If he shouted slowly, he would punch slowly! This meant that if Duanmu Huai wanted to use the ultimate move of Platinum Star, he must first take a deep breath, then yell “Ora Ora Ora” as quickly as possible. The last sentence also had to be particularly loud, in order to inflict the highest level of damage.
Goodness gracious, other people box for strength, but over here you also gotta measure lung capacity, huh?
When I am singing my heart out in the karaoke, I can’t even reach the high notes! Now I have to practice singing here too?
“Mary! Are you okay!!”
While Duanmu Huai was ruminating on his realization, Honoka hurriedly rushed to her friend. Maryrose regained her senses and slowly sat up, lips pouting, exhibiting an unwilling look on her face.
“Ugh, bullying… sniffling…!!”
As she said this, Maryrose put her hand over her eyes and began to whimper and cry.
“The giant bullied me… sniffles…”
Quietly, Duanmu Huai walked towards Maryrose, witnessing her cries. She looked upwards at him, then bowed her head again to continue whimpering…
“Um, Mary…”
Watching her friend’s distress unfold, Honoka was speechless, but Duanmu interrupted with a snort.
“I don’t care if you cry, but first, put your clothes on properly.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing Duanmu’s comment, Maryrose paused and ceased her whimpering. Looking down at herself, she turned as pale as a sheet!

Again, in Duel City, the clothes can explode. If the damage received exceeds the defensive rank of the clothes, they will burst. Maryrose’s black gothic dress was tattered, leaving her smooth and flat belly exposed, and the curve above it was barely visible…
“Ahhh!!!”
At that moment, Maryrose seemed to realize what had happened. She blushed and shouted, quickly jumping up and hiding behind Honoka.
“Uh… Hahaha, sorry about that, Mr. Duanmu.”
Seeing her friend in such a state, Honoka knew she could not continue her duel with Duanmu Huai. She apologetically said her offhand sorry to him, and then left with Maryrose.
“Sniffles… Big guy, you better remember this, I’m not done with you yet!!!”
After leaving behind such a clichéd line, Maryrose quickly disappeared under Honoka’s cover.
Whether she would come again to be humiliated… that was her problem today.
But it must be said that this also proves that the defensive power of the clothes in Duel City is indeed high. As long as players can accept the drawback that they will burst when over-damaged, they indeed look much more beautiful than Power Armors… No wonder many assassin-type players abandon Power Armor and instead choose to wear these clothes into battle.
“Hmph, don’t be afraid to die, just come back.”
Watching Maryrose’s hasty retreat, Duanmu Huai snorted. He had already caught on to this youngster’s weakness. Despite Maryrose being quick and agile, she had poor defense and low strength. All he had to do was to break her defense with an AOE, and then catch her to deal a round of Ora to send her home.
Of course, this scene to the outsider seemed like an adult bullying a child, but Duanmu Huai didn’t care. In Duel City, the strong are respected. The bigger the fist, the greater the truth. Moreover, many female characters are ruthless, and many players initially entering Duel City see their opponents as pretty girls and don’t want to fight. They even wanted to show some gentlemanly demeanor.
But then they get beaten until they couldn’t take care of themselves.
So, after that, players learned a lesson.
No matter if the opponent is beautiful or cute, once in the Duel Arena, they should fight as usual. What else can they do, surrender when they encounter a group of beautiful women in competition?
There’s also an upside to this, such as when players later tackled the God of Lust. The God of Lust sent a group of Charm Demons trying to infiltrate, but the players were not moved by their coquettishness and cuteness, and directly killed them. At the time, the God of Lust thought that the players preferred a special type, so he sent a group of robust men and androgynous demons…
The result of that was even worse.
Regardless of whether you’re beautiful or ugly, all are equal under fists.
“Alright.”
With this thought, Duanmu Huai turned his attention towards Lorena.
“So, let’s continue our training.”
“Yes! Sir Knight!”
