A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1574 - 1057: Duel Between Both Sides

Just as Mary and Banriya were tracking, Naruse Mio on the other side suffered an ambush by two opposing Soldiers.

Naruse Mio was quite renowned in the Devil World, everyone knew she was the daughter of the Wilbert family, and she had lived in the Human World without any connection to the Demon Clan. Therefore, at the beginning, the two Soldiers planned to rush in and defeat Naruse Mio in a single sweep. After all, a year ago she was just an ordinary human girl, nothing to fear!

However......

"What the heck is this!"

One of the Soldiers couldn’t help but complain when he saw the toy army covering the entire vision before him.

The battlefield where the two sides met was a toy store, and naturally, there were many toys. Just as the two planned to charge at Naruse Mio, she waved the Magic Wand in her hand, and all the toys in the store flew up, densely blocking their view completely.

Under these circumstances, the two Soldiers didn’t dare to act rashly.

"Phew......"

Naruse Mio, standing behind the barrier formed by the toy army, also let out a sigh of relief.

Honestly speaking, she had no strategy. When she saw the two opponents rushing toward her, Naruse Mio’s reaction was purely instinctive — after all, she had been forced by Frieren to undergo basic training in this aspect, forming muscle memory.

Just that......she didn’t feel nervous or uneasy at all.

Standing there holding the Magic Wand, Naruse Mio only felt incredibly calm. Normally, she’d be very tense during battles, her emotions would run high. But now, standing here, she felt unusually calm, as if the battle wasn’t anything significant.

It’s normal, like a student forced to practice mock exams every week until numb, they don’t get nervous anymore.

As for Frieren......

"Leave it to you, just two people, you should be fine."

At this moment, she was curled on the sofa in the back, happily reading a foreign book, raising her hand to wave at Naruse Mio, then curling back.

"Easy for you to say......"

Mutely complaining, Naruse Mio again focused on what’s ahead. Although she thought it wouldn’t go smoothly......

"Speaking of which, I’ve indeed seen similar situations in anime before."

Besides being forced by Frieren for basic training recently, Naruse Mio spent most of her time watching various animations like the Super Power Series and Magic System. Although those animations were whimsical, many scenes were indeed valuable references.

Thinking of this, Naruse Mio tightly grasped the Magic Wand, recalling what Frieren taught her.

Magic is a world of imagination. As long as there’s a clear imagination, magic can be established.

Exactly, if that’s the case......then I can clearly imagine myself defeating them!

So......let’s move!

"Hm?"

As Naruse Mio acted, the two Soldiers noticed the dense toy barrier starting to move suddenly, like swarming fishes in the sea rushing towards them!

"Hmph, this level of attack is nothing!"

Seeing the toy army rushing toward him, one of the Soldiers tightened his fists. While these toys seemed intimidating, they were just plush toys after all, maybe good for blocking sight, but to use them against him, it was like a pillow fight, utterly harmless!

Thinking of this, the Soldier rushed forward, and upon seeing this, another Soldier seemed to realize something and was greatly astonished.

"Not good! Quick, retreat!"

"Eh?"

Hearing his companion’s warning, the previous Soldier paused, but it was too late. The toy army roared like tides, completely engulfing him. Immediately, Naruse Mio struck the ground forcefully with her Magic Wand!

"Thud thud thud thud!!"

In the next moment, those previously light and fluffy plush toys suddenly turned rock-like, rushing down and pounding the engulfed Soldier!

"Damn it, how could it be!"

Facing such a sudden attack, the Soldier was shocked, desperately trying to defend, but the falling toys were dense like hail, with augmented gravity directly hitting her. That Soldier, facing the overwhelming toy army coming from all directions, managed only a scream before falling, disappearing shortly thereafter without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the other Soldier was also panic-stricken, hurriedly trying to retreat, but at the same moment, invisible gravity descended from the sky, making the Soldier feel his arms and legs were instantly bound by hundreds of kilograms of rock, completely immobile. He could only watch as Naruse Mio raised her Magic Wand again, directing hundreds of floating plush toys towards him — utterly engulfing him.
