Chapter 1046 - 982: Wanted Criminal – Blasphemer George
Discovering the use of the Demon Soul invigorated Da Fei greatly, yet it also made him feel conflicted again. Initially, he had an idea of bringing Nasir to Divine Punishment City to feast, but it was just wishful thinking that he couldn’t realize. Now, going to the Japan Zone to feast is entirely feasible, yet he is helplessly unable to detach himself.
Now that the soul of the Abyss Lord is finally settled, only the soul of the Demon Eye Governor remains. This Demon Eye is an extraordinarily rare invisible flying demon, whose capture was likely more challenging than any Sea Monster. Reflecting on how he managed to capture it back then seems almost miraculous, even astonishing the manager of the Alchemy Guild in Mage City.
Looking back carefully now, it was also a desperate situation at that time, and indeed selling the Demon Eye Skin was a loss. After all, exchanging an exclusive item for so many mass-produced goods doesn’t seem a worthwhile trade.
Reflecting on this, Da Fei felt even more conflicted, unwilling to easily dispose of this Demon Eye Soul. In any case, it’s better to keep it for future exploration. Anyway, he’s the Air Force and the Ancient Tree is the Army; their attributes surely clash, so devouring it would be a waste.
There’s nothing more to say now—everyone should carry on with their tasks, and let’s continue on our journey.
At 19:00 Beijing Time, Da Fei’s fleet sped toward the Lighthouse Islands.
At this moment, the Charging Crystal on the Flying has been fully replenished. Da Fei sat at the bow, deploying the Blood Eagle as a scout, searching for the fat sheep they might encounter along the way. Meanwhile, the other Deputy Officers were doing what they should be doing—reading books, or whatever else.
During this nearly hour-long reconnaissance, Da Fei only saw various cargo-laden Sea Race giant turtles and Giant Whale Trading Teams shuttling back and forth underwater, but not a single drifting pirate ship on the surface.
Feeling slightly frustrated, Da Fei sought out Silver Leg Xiluo for clarification: "Why haven’t we seen a single pirate?"
Xiluo promptly replied, "Boss, when we passed by the Giant Whale Trading Team below water earlier, did you hear the whale’s roar?"
Da Fei replied blankly, "Yeah, what’s the significance?"
Xiluo explained gravely, "That’s the whale sonar alarm. The whale’s roar can travel hundreds of nautical miles underwater, and even in the island-filled Eastern Sea Domain, it can spread tens of nautical miles. With that roar, all whale teams within tens of nautical miles know the boss is here, and they notify other pirates, then they steer clear of the boss!"
Da Fei was startled: "The whales notify other pirates?"
Xiluo affirmed, "Exactly. For pirates to fare well here, they must offer pearl grain tributes to the local Sea Race Chamber of Commerce tribes. Tributes result in the Sea Race Chamber making noise to provide locations whenever they encounter ships. If a pirate pays off all the Sea Race Chambers here, then almost all surface ships in the Eastern Sea Domain fall under their surveillance."
Crikey! The Sea Race possesses such advanced technology, already entering the age of microwave communication!
Da Fei was stunned on the spot: "So if I keep going like this, won’t I encounter any pirates?"
Xiluo nodded, "Unless a pirate believes their strength surpasses the boss, you definitely will. But with the boss’s renowned reputation in the Naga World, I doubt anyone will come looking for trouble with the boss."
Da Fei chuckled with resignation, "So, if I want to rob other pirates, I should either steer clear of these whale trading teams, or enter stealth mode so no one notices?"
Xiluo confirmed, "Precisely! However, the ship-handling prowess of pirates here is extremely advanced. Even if they lack the strength to fight and deliberately escape, chasing them down isn’t easy. But for the boss, this poses no problem. You can teleport to anyone you spot or send the Angel Sea Demon Forces to easily capture them."
Having to use teleportation and Angel Sea Demon Forces against mere pirates?
Indeed, even when encountering Xiluo, a softie, ordinary ships would perhaps be instantly sunk by his cannon, and dealing with more formidable fugitives would speak for itself. Da Fei suddenly realized that the Eastern World is too weak to mingle in, yet too strong to mingle in as well!
Just then, Sona stepped forward and said, "Master need not worry. Those who flee from you are smaller pirate gangs, carrying little worth robbing. Real larger fleets with more confidence in their escorts won’t easily change their course."
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "Like the Slave Transport Fleet?"
Sona nodded, "Precisely!"
Da Fei felt a chill in his heart, sensing that Sona was subtly hinting at having him tackle the Thunder Spear City Lord. Is this a trap? Whatever the case, he should complete the first deal first to gauge the market.
At this moment, the Blood Eagle Radar revealed a cluster of red dots ahead, indicating ships!
Da Fei was startled: here comes trouble! This is someone who deems themselves stronger, seeking Da Fei’s trouble? Alright, Da Fei was indeed feeling lonely!
Da Fei exclaimed with excitement, "Here they come! All crew ready for battle!"
At that moment, Sona added, "Master, my duty is only to guide you; my position doesn’t permit involvement in battles, apologies!"
Crikey! Only saying this now? I was hoping to assess your strength, though! Da Fei could only laugh awkwardly, "No problem, no problem, they’re just pirates!"
Meanwhile, as the Blood Eagle approached the target, they saw ten large sailing ships flying black sails, with a stark white cross painted on them—not upright but inverted! On board, faceless sailors were dressed entirely in black cloaks.
At this moment, the System Prompt resounded:
——System Prompt: Warning! You’ve discovered the Alliance Wanted Criminal Blasphemer George fleeing to the Eastern World!
——Wanted: Blasphemer George, SS-level convict, Fallen Priest. He betrayed the faith of the Light God and joined a cult, spreading cult doctrines far and wide, and stole the church’s Holy Artifact Tears of Light to conceal himself in the Eastern World. This individual is extremely dangerous and cunning; the church issued orders on sight to immediately kill if discovered, but the Holy Artifact Tears of Light must be retrieved. Substantial rewards await.
Da Fei raised an eyebrow: "It’s actually him?"
Xiluo exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, this is Blasphemer George, the Fallen Priest you’ve been looking for. He joined the Dark Tide Temple and became incredibly powerful. You need to give it your all!"
Da Fei said in astonishment, "Since George joined the Dark Tide Temple, why is he still attacking me?"
Xiluo said with a mournful face, "The problem is, Boss, you haven’t joined the Dark Tide Temple!"
What the hell! Why are you crying? I’m the guy who wiped out the entire Temple Guard. These mere 10 regular warships are nothing! But just as he thought of this, Da Fei suddenly remembered how he wiped out the Temple Guard—completely with an all-out surprise attack and pure luck. In the current situation, Renior is in hibernation, and there’s no big move to unleash. This battle might be tough!
But it doesn’t matter; I’m the man who’s going to face Makar. Let me try out this Fallen Priest first.
Da Fei asked, "How many shells do you have left?"
Xiluo quickly replied, "Three!"
Da Fei said in a serious tone, "Okay, your mission is to blast him with all three!"
Xiluo couldn’t help but get excited, "Alright! Watch me, Boss!"
So, as the Da Fei Fleet remained on high alert, the distance between both sides grew closer. Da Fei could already see the silhouette of the opponent’s sails in view—very good, let’s give them a prelude with a musical warning at this distance!
Da Fei waved his hand, "Selvia!"
Selvia immediately understood, plucking the strings, and a melodious tune rippled out!
At this moment, a loud laugh came from ahead, "Young man, I heard you declined a personal invitation from the Dark Tide Lord? Is this mere sub-Master Level bard with his basic chanting skill your claim to fame? You’re too arrogant. Now, let me teach you a lesson!"
No sooner had the words been spoken did the black-robed sailors on the ten warships begin singing in unison. The sorrowful and intense song echoed between heaven and sea. At that instant, Selvia’s music was suppressed, and a black mist enveloped Da Fei’s entire army!
——System Prompt: Battle begins! You have entered Blasphemer George’s Soul Suppressing Song domain. Your entire army’s morale is -10. Your troops have a chance to exhibit "Morale Lowering" effect, refusing to fight. Your entire army’s life and stamina decrease by 1% per second!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre requests to use the Curse Armor curse effect. Do you accept?
Selvia’s face changed color, "Soul Suppressing Song!"
Da Fei was even more shocked, "Domain!!! To cast a domain from this far away, is he a god?"
Reducing morale by 10 points and 1% life and stamina per second—I’m not afraid of that! The key issue is this annoying morale lowering state; it’s as pesky as fear! I must fight a quick battle. When the timing is right, I’ll teleport the Flying over there and behead him!
Da Fei waved his big hand, "Full speed ahead!"
And then without hesitation, used the Curse Artifact! At that moment, a black light was returned to the opponent. However, the rhythm of the opponent’s singing not only didn’t slow down but grew even more vigorous!
At that moment, a flock of crows emerged above the Jungle Hunters on Da Fei’s deck—they showed morale lowering!
Da Fei was shocked on the spot, "What’s this?"
George’s crazed laughter resounded far and wide, "Young man, did I tell you that curse, pain, and fear are the sources of our army’s power? Feel free to keep cursing my army!"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the floor; how bizarre is this?! Does that mean the opponent is immune to fear? My Dragon Power has no effect on him?
Da Fei gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision, "Tamilia, teleport!" I’ll charge directly into the enemy formation and send the Angel Army to kill him!
"Got it!"
A flash of Demon Light, and the Flying’s shape suddenly blurred. Da Fei’s sight saw the space in front of him twist and fluctuate!
Da Fei gritted his teeth. From the Blood Eagle’s view, he had confirmed the opponent’s flagship. Once teleported over, the Angel Army would instantly strike and behead him! Mere George isn’t even a hero; with what does he intend to fight me?
And just when Da Fei’s mind was racing, he suddenly realized that the time for the distortion and blurring was taking excessively long.
——System Prompt: Very regrettably, the Flying’s teleportation was affected by the opponent’s spatial fluctuation and failed to teleport!
The Demon Light disappeared, and the Flying reappeared in its original place!
Da Fei jumped up in shock, "What the hell! Teleport failed?"
Hahaha, the hysterical laughter came from the front again, "Young man, using such big magic in my domain, do you think everyone else is an idiot?" (To be continued.
