The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’

Chapter 380: Chapter 269 Start-up Chapter 380: Chapter 269 Start-up On the desolate land, two figures stood atop the ruins of a crumbling building, overlooking the city that had turned into scorched earth.

This was a world completely dead, where all life had withered away. The surroundings were empty, devoid of any signs of life, even the wind had ceased to exist, and the whole world emitted a bone-chilling silence.

Suddenly, a roar came from the horizon, shattering the silence in an instant.

Accompanied by the deafening sound akin to mountains collapsing and tsunami waves, an endless stream of massive beasts and monsters converged into a black torrent, sweeping over from afar, covering the skies and devouring everything.

One of the two figures, dressed in a Magic Girl outfit with short brown hair and emerald-green eyes, said with a sense of helplessness, “This is already the thirty-fifth wave. It feels like their numbers aren’t decreasing at all.”

Beside her, a man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a white robe with “Fourth Generation Naruto Uzumaki” inscribed on it, sighed, “As long as the pollution spread by the King of Black Clothes persists, they will be unending. Just in time, the Shuttler Alliance has sent a message asking us to retreat. Let’s go back and rest for a while.”

“Retreat? Why?”

“They said the Control Bureau is planning to strike firsthand, and we might get accidentally injured if we stay here.”

As they finished speaking, the two figures suddenly became alert and quickly distanced themselves.

A phantom-like figure appeared at their former location, wrapped in bandages, with only a pair of bright, determined eyes showing.
