Chapter 1031 - 970: Annihilating the Enemy Army
Two seconds or three seconds? The Flying had just teleported into the water and hadn’t had time to steady when the enemy’s commander was blasted away!
Although Da Fei had a lot of confidence in making a comeback, the smoothness of this surprise far exceeded his expectations. Having lost the attribute and skill bonuses from their hero, the remnants of the opposing forces, still in disarray, became sitting ducks!
Without missing a beat, Da Fei immediately dispatched Deirdre’s Sea Demon Army to dive in and pursue! So then, what’s next? The battle’s turnaround was so fast and fierce that Da Fei’s emotions couldn’t keep up with the pace, still caught in the excitement and tension from before the fight started!
No worries, at this rate, victory is inevitable, so there’s only one thing to do: hahaha!
——System Prompt: Your Artillery Emperor Army has killed 3 Dark Tide Temple Mages...
——System Prompt: Your Artillery Emperor Army has killed 1 Dark Tide Temple Sea Ray Battle Rider...
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alina has killed 4 Dark Tide Temple Mages...
——System Prompt: Renior, the ghost hero of the Radiant Wings, has released a Death Aura Wave killing 14 Dark Tide Mages and 6 Sea Ray Battle Riders...
.....
Rows of kill notifications flashed by non-stop, and in the misty haze, the Blood Eagle finally saw that the Radiant Wings was continuously releasing dense gray-black death aura all around. The enemy forces seemed poisoned, as damage counters of "-68!" and "-70!" kept appearing!
Da Fei finally realized why this battle went so smoothly. It wasn’t just fear with Renior; it was because he released all the accumulated Death Energy he had consumed! Sure enough, when it counts the most, you need the old comrades to step up! Haha, wa hahaha!
It became a one-sided harvest at the bottom, with Deirdre’s Sea Demon Army acting as high-speed harvesting machines in the water. One by one, the enemy remnants stricken with curses had almost no chance to resist or escape before being eliminated. At the same time, faint golden smoke wafted from each body into Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff! Meanwhile, Tamilia, with nothing else to do, immediately ordered the Vine Demon Army, which couldn’t partake in water battles, to collect the floating corpses at sea.
No wonder, it’s the priest of the temple! It’s truly golden souls; striking it rich, I got both soul and flesh! Haha, wa hahaha!
In less than half a minute, nearly all the surrounding enemies were wiped out, leaving the seawater blood-red and gruesome! Looking at the petite bodies of the Naga priestesses being moved one by one into the Holy Vine Space, Da Fei suddenly felt a deep discomfort!
It wasn’t until now that Da Fei snapped back to his senses from his hysterical laughter! After dealing with a Flying Fish Boss, the enemy sends such a massive force, and now I’ve taken down their entire unit and consumed both their souls and bodies. Who knows what consequences this will bring?
At this point, Da Fei once again summoned the Arsenal trio and Silver Leg Xiluo for questioning. Xiluo, frightened, couldn’t even walk steadily and had to hold onto the ship’s railing all the way over.
The Arsenal trio immediately spoke before Da Fei could: "President, we know what you want to ask, but we don’t know!"
Xiluo tremulously said, "Boss, I don’t know what will happen, but I can guarantee, as long as the Dark Tide Lord doesn’t chase you down, you will definitely be a force in the Eastern World. No rogue pirate would dare disrespect you! Just a word from you, and that Iron Hook Tiger will crawl over here right away, though he’s so worthless he’s not even worthy of tying your shoes. As for that Blasphemer George, he might follow you, but he’s practically an undead, and bringing him along would only tarnish your reputation..."
Da Fei stood there in stunned silence, his emotions a mix of worry and joy! What would this battle bring him? Would he become the most respected guest, or the least welcome invader? As he listened to Xiluo’s relentless prattle, the system prompted a ding sound!

.....
Finally, what was meant to come has arrived, and Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched crazily! A regular army!? A Divine Artifact! Barely a moment to think before another set of system prompts dinged out:
——System Prompt: Your Follower Hero Tamilia has successfully leveled up to level 43!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alina has successfully leveled up to level 44!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has successfully leveled up to level 48!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Catlin has successfully leveled up to level 49!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Deirdre has successfully leveled up to level 49!
Except for himself and Selvia, who are bound by the Contract Angel, the whole team leveled up again! With the victory of the battle, at this moment, the entire army erupted in earth-shattering cheers!
Looking at the bloody sea waves and the flood of messages, Da Fei felt a myriad of emotions. Victory! And a complete wipeout of a regular army! He even recovered the items he had lost, except for the Chamber of Commerce’s reputation! There’s nothing to be done; the Chamber of Commerce reputation can only be regained through commerce missions and trading, not by winning more battles. No way, we’re not playing like this anymore in the future.
In any case, post-battle duties must be taken care of promptly.
For a moment, the Sea Demon Army began helping Tamilia continue the transportation of corpses, while Selvia engaged in the tense process of Resurrection. Meanwhile, others immediately rushed to make emergency repairs on the sunken Golden Spearfish, about to take on water.
And Da Fei, following the usual routine, checked the equipment. Indeed, the Dark Tide 5-set allowed him to gather 4 pieces, which are, of course, meant for Deirdre! Especially the Divine Artifact Ring, it’s essentially a water-based teleportation ring. With it, how could one worry about catching up with the enemy? It’s definitely a pursuit artifact!
As for the staff? At this moment, Da Fei felt deeply conflicted! Deirdre’s equipped Curse Armor 4-piece set: "Skeleton Helmet," "Black Knight Sword," "Undead Shield," "Bone Armor" occupied the most crucial four equipment slots, leaving no slot for the staff!
This means even if one gathers all five pieces, the set effect can’t be achieved due to the equipment conflict! And the S-class set effect is surely a Divine Artifact effect! Gosh, this shouldn’t even be an issue because one could just hand the Curse Armor to other deputies, right? The problem is—when Da Fei returned from the European Union Zone, upon seeing Deirdre resurrected, in his happiness, he gave the Curse Armor as a personal gift to her!
It’s tough! It’s incredibly tough! At this moment, Da Fei envied the Nagas, who have so many arms, wielding multiple staffs and shields without any equipment slot issues.
And just as Da Fei was feeling conflicted, Renior’s image appeared before him, speaking in a vague, weary voice: "Warrior, I have exhausted nearly all my power and will enter a long slumber once more. You’ll have to handle what’s ahead yourself."
Going back into hibernation, eh? Da Fei was startled and quickly said, "Old Captain, rest assured and sleep well. I’ll handle things from here!"
"Remember, kill more monsters in the Nether Sea to help me recover faster..." Renior didn’t finish his sentence before he finally couldn’t hold on and vanished.
Da Fei let out a long sigh, knowing that what’s ahead would fall on his shoulders.
