A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 909 - 640: Raid the House!

The anomaly in the square immediately caught the attention of other Spirit Sucking Monsters nearby. Many of them quickly sent mental messages to their kin to inquire about the situation, and logically, their companions should have promptly responded. However, what they received were instead piercing, almost unimaginable Psychic Screams and wails.

This greatly surprised many of the Spirit Sucking Monsters, who hurriedly began to take action, wanting to figure out what had happened.

But this was not easy, for with the many Spirit Sucking Monsters falling dead in the square, the slave races that had been controlled also came to their senses and began to massacre the Spirit Sucking Monsters who had dared to enslave them. Though the Spirit Sucking Monsters were indeed masters of manipulating the mind, it turned out that they were not completely invincible.

It was simple: anger.

With enough powerful rage, the mental abilities of the Spirit Sucking Monsters would weaken and could even be overridden by the slave races.

One could only imagine how dreadful and strong the inner fury of these slave races, freed from their mental bonds, must have been. So the Spirit Sucking Monsters who first arrived at the square were practically caught off guard and were killed by the counterattacking slaves. Their Psychic Blasts were useless against the slaves burning with rage, and the deaths of these Spirit Sucking Monsters further helped more slave races to regain their consciousness, making the situation increasingly chaotic.

Of course, this was only temporary. The Spirit Sucking Monsters also varied in strength. When those old and seasoned ones with immense mental power appeared, this rebellion was bound to come to an end.

That is if they could arrive in time.

When Duanmu Huai, carrying Ogis and Gavi, left the square and followed the road ahead to a gigantic High Tower, they coincidentally saw a group of Spirit Sucking Monsters with their slaves hurrying out from it, rushing toward the direction of the square.

"Who do you slaves belong to, come with me!"

The leading Spirit Sucking Monster noticed Duanmu Huai and the others, but did not pay special attention. The chaotic situation of the square was beyond its expectations, and it had no clue what had happened to create such a mess. After all, the minds of the Spirit Sucking Monsters initially in contact with Duanmu Huai had been completely destroyed, leaving them as a mass of useless flesh. Even their kin could not extract any useful information from those damaged thoughts and Psychic Screams.

For this reason, the Spirit Sucking Monster in question did not focus particularly on Duanmu Huai, it simply subconsciously looked at him and issued a command through Mental Induction.

However, at the next moment, this Spirit Sucking Monster suddenly felt a terrifying torrent of mental force overpowering its message, as if a spike had stabbed into its brain. It immediately screamed, clutching its head and collapsed on the ground. Seeing this, the other Spirit Sucking Monsters were also greatly alarmed and quickly stepped back, directing their armies of slaves to block Duanmu Huai and his companions from advancing.

"Do you think you can stop me?!"

Watching the army composed of Bear Goblins and Gray Dwarfs in front of him, Duanmu Huai roared angrily and then he simply swung his War Hammer, charging forward at great speed!

The strong Bear Goblins and armored Gray Dwarfs were evidently no match for Duanmu Huai, who simply hunched his shoulders and charged forward like an enraged bull. The leading Bear Goblin roared and swung its flail hard against Duanmu Huai’s Armor, only to have no effect. Following this, it was sent flying by Duanmu Huai, tracing an arc over dozens of meters through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground behind.

Duanmu Huai’s blitz was almost instantaneous, breaking through the defenses like a Siege Hammer, neither the Attack of the Bear Goblins nor the shields and Crossbow Arrows of the Gray Dwarfs could stop his stride.

This fearless posture sent the Spirit Absorbing Monsters into a panic. They hurriedly tried to float away to evade while issuing orders to their slaves to stop Duanmu Huai at all costs.

Unfortunately for them, their slaves couldn’t achieve this goal.

Because at that moment, Ogis and Gavi had already made their move.

Ogis spread her hands, and threads expanded like a spider web, securely binding the large bodies of the Bear Goblins before effortlessly slicing them into ham. On the other side, Gavi, with a Short Sword in each hand, moved like an unpredictable Ghost through the crowd. Her swords flew up and down, piercing any gap she found, and even the thick Armor of the Gray Dwarfs seemed as flimsy as paper in her presence. Soon, the slave army was thrown into disarray and couldn’t even think of aiding their masters.

At this moment, Duanmu Huai had charged towards the High Tower—the largest building in the Spirit Sucking Monster City and the dwelling place of the Main Brain, which housed a multitude of Spirit Absorbing Monsters. Of course, to them, only one thing was always most important.

The Main Brain.

"Block him!"

The panic of the Main Brain melded with the utter terror of the Spirit Absorbing Monsters. Due to its enormous size, the Main Brain couldn’t possibly be located in a small space. In fact, the Spirit Sucking Monster’s Main Brain was situated in the pond of the Main Tower Hall, which meant that once Duanmu Huai crossed that door, the Main Brain would be completely exposed before him!

And from this Black Armored Warrior’s reaction, it was clear he knew what was inside!

The Spirit Absorbing Monsters descended in droves, numerous Psychic Blasts radially aimed at Duanmu Huai—a starting combat technique they were best at, much like a Mage who always launches a Magic Missile at the beginning of a fight, useful or not, at least it could be used to assess the enemy’s strength.

But unfortunately for them, their opponent was Duanmu Huai.

Even more unfortunate for them was that Duanmu Huai possessed the willpower of the Old God.

Thus, the actions of the Spirit Absorbing Monsters at this moment were essentially like willingly diving into the nightmare of Cthulhu.

And so it was.

The moment the Psychic Blasts were released, these Spirit Absorbing Monsters instantly let out screams of terror. They could feel their perception of the world in front of them changing as their Spirits started to contort and deform under some immense invisible force. Not only did he resist and rebound their attacks, but it also felt to them as if they were punching a stone wall with full force, only to have the recoil fracture their own arms.

What’s more terrifying is that it wasn’t just arms that were fracturing.

Twisted, frenzied, and ineffable spiritual power swept through, igniting the inner world of the Spirit Absorbing Monsters. They began to clutch their heads, screaming miserably, then fell to the ground, desperately rolling around. Invisible psychic wails echoed around, even causing the real world to tremble with this echoing spiritual power.

However, Duanmu Huai paid no heed to these minions. He kicked open the grand doors of the High Tower and then saw a gigantic brain immersed in a pool right in the center of the round hall before him. It was nearly ten meters wide; the huge mass of flesh constantly trembled in the pool, its violent psychic power condensing around it, like a mouse cornered by a cat, preparing to fight desperately.

Unfortunately, it no longer had a chance.

"Hey, hello there."

Duanmu Huai, carrying the War Hammer in one hand with a smile on his face, approached the gigantic brain. At the same time, he raised his left hand—-and then Duanmu Huai’s left hand began to twist, deform, and transform into a thick, gigantic tentacle.

[What exactly do you want to do?] freēnovelkiss.com

"You’ll know soon."

In response to the Main Brain’s astounded and furious inquiry, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, then stretched forward his left hand, and soon the writhing tentacle shot out like a snake, directly burrowing into the Main Brain’s body.

The next moment, a wail that almost shocked the entire city suddenly erupted.

Duanmu Huai’s Old God’s power broke through the Main Brain’s fragile defenses, penetrating deep into its core. At the same time, this power spread like erupting volcanic magma, invading the brains of all the Spirit Absorbing Monsters connected to the Main Brain.

Not just the Spirit Absorbing Monsters.

Even the slaves were the same; their brains, originally manipulated by the Spirit Absorbing Monsters, were now also invaded by this terrifying power. In an instant, the entire city seemed like hell. Spirit Absorbing Monsters, Drow, Bear Goblins, Gray Dwarfs, and even Humans as well as other life forms began to frantically run and shout like madmen at this moment.

"What’s wrong with these guys?"

Gavi stood on the street watching a Spirit Absorbing Monster running towards her, flailing its arms. No, its octopus-like eyes seemed not to notice Gavi’s presence at all, just desperately running forward—-then the next moment Gavi appeared behind it, easily snapping its neck.

Gavi looked with disgust at the foul and strange blood on the short sword, then threw the sword aside; after all, it was just a random tool, nothing of good quality.

"Master’s plan has succeeded."

Ogis spoke indifferently, then directly headed towards the High Tower, while Gavi shook her head and followed her.

At that moment, Duanmu Huai was full of joy.

If the head of the Spirit Sucking Monster he had killed earlier was a house, then the Main Brain was like a bank vault. What excited Duanmu Huai the most was not just the various pieces of information stored inside, but more importantly—-experience.

As a race naturally equipped with psychic parahuman abilities, Spirit Absorbing Monsters possessed thousands of years of experience in manipulating these abilities, all stored in the Main Brain. This was a secret almost exclusive to the Spirit Absorbing Monsters, the utmost confidential information from the very elite of their race. Now, this experience and information had been completely devoured by Duanmu Huai. He not only learned the Spirit Absorbing Monsters’ experience in the application of psychic abilities but also gained vast amounts of experience.

For Duanmu Huai, who had the "Old God’s Will" yet was unable to use it, this experience was more precious than anything else.

Of course, Duanmu Huai did not absorb all information indiscriminately. For example, content like "The Evaluation of the Deliciousness of the Faelun Continent’s Group Races" was completely skipped by him.

I don’t even eat brain when having hot pot.

"Huh......"

In just a few minutes, Duanmu Huai retracted his tentacle, and at this moment the Main Brain in front of him had completely shriveled up, like a mummy that had been drained of blood, not just it, even the Spirit Absorbing Monsters and their slaves on the streets were in no better condition. The "Old God’s Will" had utterly destroyed their minds, twisting their bodies. When Duanmu Huai stepped out of the High Tower and onto the streets, what he saw were only blobs of flesh swelling, mutating, losing their original form, and changing into indescribable shapes.

"Is it over, Master?"

"It’s over, that’s why I say this type of hive mind network is so easily breached."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the corpses of the Spirit Absorbing Monsters next to him—-they had not mutated but had died from a fall before Duanmu Huai invaded, perhaps that was a rather good way to die.

"What are we going to do next?"

"First, let’s completely destroy this place, and then......"

While saying this, Duanmu Huai stroked his chin. Although he had absorbed the experience of the Spirit Absorbing Monsters, experience wasn’t something he had gained firsthand, so the best way was naturally to find a place to experiment.

As for where to experiment, well, Duanmu Huai already had a target in mind.

"Let’s tour the city of the Drow Elves."
