Chapter 119 -116: It Really Is the Great Demon!
Lei Huolong and his group rushed to the Demon Camp, and after speaking with the guide NPC at the entrance, they went to see the interim Execution Officer Siriel in front of the Watchtower.
“Boss, will that American snatch our lead?”
Lei Huolong grimly said, “As long as we have more Merit than him, it’ll be fine. We’re doing the task in a group; there’s no way we’ll be worse off!”
Though he said that, the opponent’s power was truly astounding. As professional gamers, they clearly knew that in some situations, having more people won’t make a difference. A Super Hero who completes key battles and earns Merit and evaluations is not on the same level as a bunch of people accumulating mediocre Merit through odd jobs. If worst comes to worst, we’ll just have to take him down! Of course, this kind of thing might impact China’s international image, but China’s international image has long been ruined by tourists going abroad, so a player’s actions in a game wouldn’t make it any worse.
“Welcome, Warriors! The situation for our forces is extremely severe!” The interim Execution Officer, surrounded by flames, looked very imposing and not at all temporary, stunning Lei Huolong and his group momentarily.
Siriel said in a deep voice, “The water of the Pool of Radiance is akin to the Dead Sea for us Demons. To conquer the World Tree, we must face this challenge. We are largely dependent on battleships. But the Elf Clan’s warships are very advanced, and we can only match them in scale! Unfortunately, due to my self-willed predecessor shirking his duties, our most important Military Factory has been destroyed by the enemy, and our offensive has come to a total halt, while the Elf Clan will surely use this opportunity to fully prepare for war. Therefore, we must wait for the Spider Demon reinforcements to arrive. The Spider Demons’ special skill allows them to travel underground, completely unhindered by the Pool of Radiance. Meanwhile, our task is to rebuild the factory…”
“Holy shit! Just as I thought, menial labor!” The whole group of players cursed in indignation.
At that moment, a flash of white light appeared in the camp, and an American player appeared.
The group members couldn’t help but be startled, “It’s that American from before!”
They then burst into laughter, “Hey, hey! He’s in a weakened state too!”
Lei Huolong’s anxiety was immediately relieved, “Turns out he’s a joke, and here I thought he was a top-notch expert!”
For a moment, the whole group burst into laughter.
Siriel snorted coldly, “War is often decided by the details! This painful lesson is a testament to that. I hope you will all take your tasks seriously, and not aim too high and miss like some fool. His personal failure is of no consequence, but the loss of a battleship is a major blow to our already scarce resources!”
The crowd roared in unison, “Yes, Officer!”
Lei Huolong laughed, “Hey, hey! We should have a good chat with our American friend, no need to laugh at him, that’s not nice, not nice!”
The group roared with laughter even louder.
…
In a Los Angeles underground garage bar.
“Why! Impossible!!!” A hysterical scream drowned out the rock music in the bar!
“Oh yeah! Let’s toast to little Peter! Wahaaaaa!” The other team members’ jeers added to the bar’s festive atmosphere.
Captain Howell gestured to quell the celebration and asked in a serious tone, “Didn’t you kill more than ten gunners? Why not use their corpses to summon the Abyss Lord? The Flower Demons’ normal attacks can’t interrupt the Magic.”
SawSaw shook his head in annoyance, “Of course I tried to summon, but the summon failed!”
Howell was surprised, “Summoning can fail?”
SawSaw shook his head and sighed, “It might be because of the World Tree Barrier, or maybe, I don’t know, this guy named Dafei isn’t an ordinary fraudster, he’s a very powerful fraudster!”
Everyone laughed, “Don’t put your failure down to the opponent’s strength, the stupidity of not leading troops doomed you from the start, Wahaaaa!!”
SawSaw angrily flipped off everyone in the bar.
Howell looked at the big screen on the wall and said solemnly, “Pay attention, the Chinese are coming over, they seem to want to talk to you about something.”
At that moment, Lei Huolong walked over to this international friend and patted his shoulder, “hello?”
SawSaw lifted his head with a cold response.
Lei Huolong said with a sigh, “Please allow me to make a sad face!”
—— Ah puff! The entire team burst into sorrowful laughter!
“FUCK!!! I’ve been mocked by the Chinese!” Someone screamed hysterically, and the team’s laughter erupted once again throughout the venue!
…
On the Flying, the sailors were cleaning the cabin. Da Fei excitedly checked the spoils of war he had just obtained.
—— Speed Cloak: A-grade strategic treasure, increases troop Move Speed by 10% and Attack Speed by 10%.
An A-grade treasure! This is the legendary Speed Cloak that beta players talked about! Coupled with the Speed Ring and Speed Boots, it can form a Divine Artifact! The components that can form Divine Artifacts are definitely not sold in NPC markets; one must defeat a BOSS or complete a quest to obtain them. Considering the power of a BOSS that could drop an A-grade treasure, it’s no wonder how lucky I was to get an A-grade Misfortune Hourglass after killing so many BOSSES, and that was only because I was lucky to stand in the right spot. Otherwise, I nearly let that BOSS teleport away!
Wait! Teleport? Could that American’s skill just now also have been teleportation? Impossible! Considering that the red dot appeared on the ship before the cannon fired, does that mean the teleportation distance is farther than the range of the Crossbow Cannon? How could there be such a powerful teleportation? Isn’t that just slicing whoever you want?
But if it’s not teleportation, how else could you explain his bizarre actions? Magic? Even more impossible! If you can Stealth while casting, then you’re a god! But then again, the enemy made the impossible possible, so what can I even say?
Da Fei was quite shaken internally.
Now that Selvia is in position, she started using the Master-level Light Magic she had learned to cast the Resurrection Technique to resurrect the gunners.
Right, the magic that killed these gunners, Da Fei also had never heard of it, a hidden skill? A skill that comes with a treasure? This world certainly is full of experts and masters, not to be underestimated. From now on, I must be extremely careful, or else I might lose everything in one false move.
Bright light flooded the cabin, a flash of golden light on the dozen gunner’s bodies, and then they slowly rose, alive!
Da Fei was immensely relieved; having a Little Baby in the team was just too wonderful. Huh? Why aren’t three of them getting up?
Similarly, Selvia was full of confusion: “Why are these three unresponsive? Let me try again!”
“Don’t waste any more Mana!” Mrs. Anwen appeared: “The souls of these three have been sacrificed to a Demon; they can no longer be saved.”
“Demonic Sacrifice!” exclaimed Da Fei: “Was it that person just now?”
Damn it! Just how incredible was that person just now? How much information was revealed in that brief appearance?
Anwen sighed, “So, Captain sir, please accept the inevitable and find some replacements for their positions.”
Damn it! They were seasoned sailors with built-in Advanced War Machine Technology and Crossbow Master skills! Who could replace them? Flower Demon? With 0 attack and 0 defense aptitude to play with cannons? Damn it, cursed American, this is practically ruining my three Crossbow Cannons!
Wait, there’s still an idler, that would be the first Banshee summoned from the Banshee Camp, the adult one, she’ll do, any humanoid can operate a cannon. She will operate my Crossbow Cannon; it won’t affect the firepower, and the damage is calculated on the player’s side. As for the other two cannons, well, I guess it’s up to those two sweethearts.
They’ve grown into BOSSes with 30 attack and 20 defense; looking at all the troops on the ship, they have the most solid attribute points. If they take over, they can maximize the compensation for the loss of Crossbow Cannon firepower, plus their range is long, they can fight monsters, much better for growth compared to watching from the sidelines in the past few battles.
Sigh, let’s see how much they need to grow to make up for the loss of the Crossbow Cannon.
Huh? Suddenly Da Fei remembered the attribute of the seasoned sailors, 40 Life Value! 3 sailors make 120 Life Value, which is exactly the life of the Hell Race’s Level 6 unit Abyss Lord in its normal form! And the so-called sacrifice just now—
Da Fei, having a sudden epiphany, stared wide-eyed and slack-jawed!
That American was a Great Demon! A Level 7 unit, a Great Demon! A Great Demon’s special skill is to use the corpses of dead creatures, friend or foe alike, to summon Level 6 Abyss Lords; the corpse’s Life Value must be greater or equal to the Life Value of the Abyss Lord! These three sailor corpses exactly met the summoning conditions! That explains the teleportation as well! It’s all Great Demon’s abilities!
Damn it! Is this some kind of mistake? How’s anyone supposed to play now! One person from the other side almost flipped me over; if a Multi-Nation Joint Army comes at me together, do I even have a chance to survive? This isn’t something I can handle alone; I must have allies too!
