Chapter 1454: Chapter 985: Indiscriminate Slaughter!

Soon, nightfall came.

Within the campus, lights came on. Duanmu Huai stood alone on the sports field, arms crossed, staring coldly at the gate in front of him.

Meanwhile, in the school building behind him, Nedai Shinpei and his friends hid inside, anxiously watching Duanmu Huai on the field.

"Hey, is that big guy really gonna be okay?"

Kobune Mio asked softly. Originally, Nedai Shinpei’s plan was to use himself as bait, luring the opponent into the school building, then using the building’s layout to scatter the opponent’s strength and defeat them one by one. But Duanmu Huai couldn’t be bothered with such a cat-and-mouse game and simply waved his hand.

"Leave it to me, you guys find a place to hide, especially you! Stop dying and reloading the save!"

To prevent Nedai Shinpei from accidentally getting killed and having to load the save again, Duanmu Huai even gave him a shield generator from the Mass Effect World—if he died with that, then it would be truly speechless.

"I don’t really know, but I guess it’ll be alright..."

Nedai Shinpei still had some impression of Duanmu Huai. If he remembered correctly, when he almost died at a festival, he saw a huge figure charging at a shadow with four arms—if Nedai Shinpei guessed right, that should’ve been Duanmu Huai.

Just that...

"Never thought I’d actually meet Miss Christie here...! And even get her signature...!"

Holding the book in his arms, Nedai Shinpei was unusually delighted. After all, Mary was now a world-famous author, and her subject matter was very diverse, ranging from horror to sci-fi. Nedai Shinpei had read Mary’s Mass Effect Trilogy and always highly admired it. He never thought he could meet this author and even get her autograph...

"Hmph."

Seeing Nedai Shinpei’s delighted expression, Minami Rizhu next to him snorted unhappily. She was also an author, debuting under the pen name "Minami Ryuunosuke," mainly writing mystery novels. Nedai Shinpei also liked Minami Rizhu’s novels and had asked for her signature before.

But how to say it... Minami Rizhu was just a novelist in Japan’s mystery world, incomparable to someone like Mary who was known globally.

"Never thought Miss Christie would be here too, so that man must be D."

In Mary’s novels, the protagonist was basically always Duanmu Huai. After all, Mary always writes from the perspective of being a Watson, and to avoid revealing real names, in her novels, Duanmu Huai, as the protagonist, was named "D." According to Mary’s description, this Mr. D had a fierce appearance, immense strength, and liked solving problems with his fists...

Yeah, it’s definitely him.

Especially now, looking at Duanmu Huai standing on the field, Nedai Shinpei almost suspected he was in the world from Mary’s books.

"If everything Miss Christie wrote in her books is true, then this gentleman should have no problem dealing with those Shadows..."

Honestly, even Nedai Shinpei felt a lack of confidence saying that. After all, the books made Duanmu Huai appear too powerful, practically able to take down a Tyrannosaurus Rex barehanded. Such things in a book are seen as artistic exaggeration, but in reality... it seems a bit unrealistic, right?

"They’re here!"

At this moment, Uncle Ginjirou, who had been aiming his gun outside, warned. Hearing his words, everyone focused their attention ahead, only to see a group of men and women, with a four-armed shadow leading them, crossing the street and entering the school gate. Seated on the shoulders of the shadow was a girl with twin tails.

The group entered the gate, came to the field, and then stopped in front of Duanmu Huai.

"Oh? This is quite the..."

The leading Four-clawed Beast stared at Duanmu Huai, looking puzzled.

"I thought the one appearing here would be Nedai Shinpei."

"The guy you’re talking about is in the back."

Duanmu Huai gave a thumbs-up, pointing to the school building behind him, then clenched his fists.

"But, you won’t be going any further! Worthless Alien Rascals! Ancient Dominators from the distant void, prepare to die!"

Before his voice fell, Duanmu Huai suddenly charged toward the Four-clawed Beast in front of him!

"Watch out! He’s no ordinary human!"

At this time, the girl sitting on the shoulders of the Four-clawed Beast seemed to sense the aura emanating from Duanmu Huai, and her previously calm expression instantly turned panicked. The Four-clawed Beast snorted coldly, raised its hand, and pointed forward. The next moment, the shadow in its hand swiftly transformed, forming a shotgun!

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out, lethal to an ordinary person, but for Duanmu Huai, he didn’t even dodge and charged straight ahead. The bullets blasted from the gun were deflected harmlessly!

"What?"

Seeing its attack fail, the Four-clawed Beast was stunned. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai had already reached it, throwing a punch!

"Die!"

"Stop him!"

The Four-clawed Beast wasn’t just any opponent. Realizing its attack was useless, it hurriedly retreated and gave a swift command. With the order from the Four-clawed Beast, the men and women accompanying it, who appeared human, suddenly began to distort and transform—their bodies grew intensely like clay, morphing into terrifying monsters with long limbs, lunging toward Duanmu Huai from all directions!
