Chapter 283 - 263: Bloody Battle with a Group of Sea Monsters
Da Fei’s worst fears finally materialized. As the holy song began, small red dots, large and small, started appearing at the edge of the radar map—the Undead Sea Monsters were coming! They definitely weren’t here to listen to the holy music!
Damn it! Are we still singing or not? But seeing those red dots lingering in the distance, it seems like they have some reservations?
Da Fei hesitated for a moment before grinding his teeth: "Sing! If we don’t, it’ll just show that we’re scared of them!"
The day passed peacefully amidst the sailors’ busy cleaning and inspecting. Fortunately, all the rats and cockroaches were dead, reducing a lot of tasks for the sailors. Even the Nether Sea’s Death Energy wasn’t completely useless.
A new day began, and more red dots loitered and followed around the fleet. From time to time, mysterious sea monsters churned the water far out at sea. Although the sailors had seen sea monsters before, they had an innate fear of the monsters from the Netherworld, much like some people are not afraid of humans but are terrified of ghosts. Panic and anxiety spread throughout the fleet.
Even Da Fei couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak, wondering if things had gone too far.
In any case! Keep singing! There’s no turning back now. If we stop, the sailors will definitely collapse in fear, and those lingering sea monsters might swarm us!
But it’s strange, why was I immediately attacked by groups of Undead Fish as soon as I arrived in the Nether Sea, followed by days of peace? Is it just my "luck" that I teleported right into a school of fish? Given the current state of Absolute Misfortune, it’s not impossible, right?
Whatever, I still have my ultimate move—transforming into Skira!
On the third day, the sea was turbulent with rising mist and surging dark waves. On the small radar, the entire fleet was surrounded by a red cloud! Even several huge red dots appeared—definitely large BOSS-level Sea Monsters!
Watching the unusual activity on the sea, the holy song could no longer soothe the sailors’ fears, and they cried out in terror: "What do we do! What do we do! If we die here, we’ll never be able to escape and will turn into Water Ghosts!"
—System Prompt: Warning! Your troops’ Morale has decreased by 10 points, lowering Attack, and there is a certain chance of falling into a state of fear and being unable to fight!
Da Fei felt a chill in his heart! This drop in Morale was too devastating, wasn’t it? However, under the state of Absolute Misfortune, whether the sailors fight or not, it no longer matters, not to mention that I am just a weak captain with only Basic Leadership Skill. But I never expected there to be so many sea monsters in the Nether Sea; what is this, a sea monster fishery?
Da Fei sighed deeply. It seems there is a limit to being too advanced. I finally overdid it! Even the Eastern Sea Domain in the surface world requires players above level 50 to get there, let alone this life-forbidden Nether Sea.
But it’s not that I wanted to be too advanced, it’s just that I couldn’t help it being in this situation! What now? Abandon the Whale Hunter and forcefully break out? That’s the only way left. Da Fei had to prepare for the worst. Even if I overdid it, it doesn’t matter. The rewards and skills I’ve gained are the greatest treasures of this journey. Even if the fleet is destroyed here, I’m still ahead of the times! I can take it or leave it!
Now, Da Fei immediately ordered flag-bearers to relay commands for Spielberg and all sailors on Whale Hunter to retreat to the flagship, while the other sailors prepared for battle.
As time ticked by, Selvia’s singing also began to tremble slightly, and all the sailors’ faces turned pale! It’s over! Everyone could feel that the "Divine Grace" had begun to fear, so what’s the point now!
Waves churned on the sea, and finally, the red cloud on the small radar moved! The sea monsters attacked from all directions!
Finally! It’s my turn to use the final big move!
Da Fei roared: "Transform into the Great Sea Monster, I’ll form the head!"
In an instant, a giant Six-headed Sea Demon with gnashing claws appeared, accompanied by a flash of silver-black light from Radiant Wings amidst a massive distortion in the visual field.
—"Get out of the way!!!" Coltner slammed down the heavy piano keys, and the tried-and-true dubbing resounded through the Nether Sea!
And this time, it indeed was very displeasing! Skira’s majesty really had no effect here!
The Undead Sea Monster group did not hesitate for a moment, charging headlong with no thought of turning back, massive waves sweeping in from all directions!
Damn it! I’m going all out with you guys!
Da Fei roared loudly, "Battle starts! Abandon the Whale Hunter, full speed break out!"
As the ropes towing the Whale Hunter were cut, the Radiant Wings surged like a wild horse released from its reins, its speed suddenly increased!
Watching the sea monsters lift the waves head-on, Da Fei’s bloodshot eyes bulged as he clenched his teeth tightly, "Bring it on! With the narwhal horn in front of me and the leviathan armor around my waist, I’ll slay gods and demons alike!"
Just then, a vast arc of dark red light enveloped the sea monsters in front!
Da Fei was suddenly startled. This arc of light! Isn’t it Absolute Misfortune? What’s going on?
In his shock, the six-headed Sea Demon figurehead on Radiant Wings flashed with black light! A swath of skeleton marks appeared among the sea monsters ahead! Da Fei, shocked, widened his eyes – this was fear!
—System Prompt: The six-headed Sea Demon statue’s special skill successfully took effect, rendering 162 Undead Sea Monsters unable to combat due to fear!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped in shock! No way! The special skill hit all 162 sea monsters! This is a super divine artifact! Normally a support equipment like a ship’s figurehead having a small chance of taking effect once or twice in a battle was already good enough, but it turned out to be an area-of-effect? How is this possible! Could it be because the enemies were affected by Absolute Misfortune that they all got hit? But why would the enemies get Misfortune?
At that moment, Catherine’s ecstatic voice woke Da Fei from his shock, "The enemies have lost their ability to fight! Anlicia, activate the Bone Dragon’s charging rune!"
—System Prompt: The Radiant Wings activated the charging special skill, increasing speed by 30%, lasting for 30 seconds!
The hull of the Radiant Wings shuddered mightily, and its speed soared once again!
Screw everything else, my awesomeness is just too much for explanations, Da Fei regained his senses and laughed heartily, "Ram them! All who block me shall die!"
—Boom!!! Waves surged sky-high! Radiant Wings like a sharp blade abruptly rammed into the coming sea monsters, under the colossal force of the impact, various medium and small-sized sea monsters emitted dreadful screams and shattered into flying bones! A huge list of experience gains scrolled on the screen!
Holy shit! This experience is scaring me!
Da Fei yelled excitedly, "Fire the cannons!"
—Boom papa papa! Cannons on both sides of the Radiant Wings opened up, firing crossbow arrows exuding the Light of Misfortune, whistling towards the sea monsters also engulfed in both fear and misfortune!
Bang bang bang bang! Water columns and bone fragments burst into the sky! Various "Missed", "Deflected Damage", "Piercing", "Knockback", "Weakness Attack", "Crushing Attack", "Critical Strike" scrolled across the screen!
Da Fei’s eyes narrowed in shock! Both sides are under negative conditions! These attacks include almost all attack statuses in the game! Even the Death Knight’s godly special skill, the legendary player’s one in a million chance of a one-hit kill "Critical Strike," appeared! Is it because I’m too lucky or are they too unlucky?
Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Hahaha! Wahahaha! Da Fei laughed heartily! I can win! I can win! As long as they’re just as unlucky as I am, I can win, no, they’re obviously even more unlucky!
Maybe, I don’t need to break out? Maybe I can save the Whale Hunter?
Da Fei got excited, Da Fei changed his mind, Da Fei made a decisive decision: "Fight! Wipe them out!"
That’s right, I was already prepared to give up everything, even if changing my mind is a wrong decision, it’s just returning to what I expected anyway! How many times in life can you fight like this!
