Chapter 294 - 273: Misfortune Burns the City
The dark clouds hung low, and torrential rain poured down. Under the extremely low visibility conditions, Da Fei’s fleet successfully charged into the waters between the Ghost Dragon Cliff Islands. The intensity of the wind and waves suddenly decreased significantly. The wind and wave protection effect of the Sky-reaching Islands was indeed quite evident.
However, this was only the result of landing in the eye of the storm. The real test would come with the following storms that land. Renior no longer had the strength to supply the Rune Dragon Bone, making it impossible to continue chasing the eye of the storm. Now, the only way out was to stand firm in this sheltered bay! Of course, the premise was to first let the enemies within the city share the Power of Misfortune.
As long as there was no interference from the Power of Misfortune, for Da Fei, who had already experienced many tests of God-level storms, the remaining storms posed no great pressure.
Da Fei looked up. Amid the group of cloud-piercing stone pillars, the fleet seemed to be in an Abyss Canyon. Countless caves on the rock walls of the stone pillars emitted a faint blue light. In the fierce wind, these caves emitted all sorts of strange sounds like musical instruments being played.
And just at this moment, a large cluster of red dots suddenly appeared on Da Fei’s radar. From dozens of caves on the cliffs came huge figures with flashing ghostly eyes and bodies wreathed in black smoke!
The enemies had moved out! Bone Dragons!
Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Although he had vaguely guessed from the name Ghost Dragon Cliff that this place was probably related to Ghost Dragons, and he had somewhat mentally prepared, seeing that the defending forces here were all flying level 7 units made Da Fei involuntarily take a sharp breath!
A warship encountering Bone Dragons like these air forces was as helpless as a warship encountering submerged Sea Monsters! They both rendered the Crossbow Cannons, which the warship prided itself on, ineffective. This was not a battle of the same plane at all! This was the limitation of ancient warships.
Da Fei immediately decided, "All sailors on deck, retreat into the cabin and seal the doors! Selvia, stick to the Radiant Wings hull. Anlicia, release the mist!"
Now the only way was to abandon the deck and huddle up defensively! Rely on spreading Absolute Misfortune to hold out until the storms land to dispel the enemy forces! The air force feared storms the most. They couldn’t keep diving into the storm and smashing into the ship, could they? As for the mist, in such a gale Da Fei didn’t hold out hope, but it was better to do something rather than nothing. Selvia’s Octopus was small, and once the Bone Dragons landed on the deck, it would be precisely under the zero-range attack of the Radiant Wings’ Crossbow Cannons.
The Bone Dragon swarm moved! They dived from all sides of the cliffs with the momentum of smashing the fleet to pieces! Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat! Bloody hell! This wasn’t a boarding battle; this was a kamikaze bombing! The big ship could hold for a while, but how long could the Octopus last?
Meanwhile, Anlicia’s mist also rose from the sea surface but dispersed in the fierce wind into a spiral of thick smoke before it could cover the fleet.
Da Fei sighed mournfully. Mist indeed couldn’t be counted on. If the mist worked, perhaps the Bone Dragons wouldn’t hit the Octopus, or maybe they’d miss and fall into the sea? Just then, the system prompt chimed.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia obtained Master-level Light Magic "Storm Coming" information!
Da Fei was stunned! Storm Coming? Wasn’t this the information obtained during the storm at the Pool of Radiance? This was Light Magic, understandable when comprehended at the Pool of Radiance, but how was it possible to obtain in the almost light-energy-less Nether Sea?
At this time, there was no time to think more, as a large ring of dark red arc fell over the diving Bone Dragon group!
They were hit! Da Fei was wildly ecstatic and clenched his fists tightly in excitement! The Bone Dragons hit by Absolute Misfortune meant at least dealing minimal damage halved again! It meant they would 100% suffer negative effects, such as the "Rebound" damage from buildings like ships!
That’s right, even if I’m huddled on the ship taking hits, I can still counterattack! I’ll crash you all and let you feel the might of my Great Misfortune Technique!
Just then, a whirlwind reached, and the entire Bone Dragon group suddenly wobbled. Their diving momentum suddenly slowed, and their descending direction sharply veered!
Ahhh, Da Fei couldn’t help but burst out!
— Boom! Boom! Plop! Plop! The ship’s hull shook violently, and the sounds of Bone Dragons unable to change direction in time hitting the water echoed!
Looking at the pile of half-dead Bone Dragons on the deck, which didn’t even punch through, with "Rebound Damage" and "Deflection Damage," Da Fei couldn’t help but burst into triumphant laughter! This was truly Absolute Misfortune! Even before the "Rebound" took effect, a gust of ominous wind had already blown them away! Anyone bold enough to fight under Absolute Misfortune would definitely end up looking foolish!
Although I’m a fool now as well, the Gambling God’s theory is, when you think you’re the unluckiest person in the world, and you find someone luckier than you before you, you’re the luckiest! You only need to be a little luckier than the opponent, meaning, in the face of "infinitesimal," "infinitesimal +1" is equivalent to an infinite existence! This is the true essence of extreme luck dueling!
In that instant, Da Fei seemed to have an epiphany.
At this moment, the sky flashed with lightning, and several thick bolts of lightning struck the stone pillars closest to the fleet. It was as if it ignited a powder keg, and a huge muffled sound came from within the stone pillars. Then countless blue flames shot out from numerous caves on the rock walls!
—System Prompt: You have caused massive destruction to the Netherworld city Ghost Dragon Cliff, gaining 5.3 million experience points! Your reputation in Ghost Dragon Cliff becomes hostile!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! You leveled up to 36 . . .
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Heroine Katelina leveled up to 35 . . .
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Serbia leveled up to 35 . . .
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia leveled up to 31 . . .
Ahhh, Da Fei couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of hot saliva! The lightning counted as my experience too? And it even leveled me up, hahahahaha! This is the power of the Misfortune City Destruction! The stone pillar had just been swept by the storm and was full of hidden dangers, and then it was bombarded by my Misfortune Thunderstorm; it was doomed not to extinguish!
In that very moment, an insanely bold idea surged in Da Fei’s mind again. Maybe, I could actually destroy this city? How much experience would that give?
"Arrogant mortal! You have indeed surprised me greatly! I will personally remove this scourge!" A majestic and angry roar echoed in the city, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky. A Bone Dragon, immense like the Radiant Wings, with swirling black smoke around its body, burst forth!
Da Fei’s jaw hit the deck! No way, the City Lord himself came to annihilate me!
Just then, a golden light shot up from the mast of the Radiant Wings, and a golden-haired priest with flowing robes stood atop the mast with both hands clasped behind!
Oh my gosh, that was so cool and awesome! Da Fei excitedly exclaimed, "Divine Envoy, have you been protecting me all along?"
"Samael!!!" The Bone Dragon roared with rage, spraying a massive cloud of black smoke at Da Fei’s fleet!
A golden shield instantly enveloped Da Fei’s fleet! Boom! The shield shook mightily, and the black smoke enshrouded the entire city’s sky over the sea!
The Bone Dragon furiously said, "Samael, do you realize how disadvantageous it is for an Angel like you to cast spells in the Nether Realm?"
Samael chuckled lightly, "Disadvantageous? I wouldn’t even mind us fighting an actual battle on your turf with our true bodies! Samaster, want to reveal our true selves?"
The Bone Dragon burst into laughter, "You really have such confidence in these mortals?"
With the Bone Dragon’s laughter, a huge Bone Dragon of pure white light flew out from each stone pillar, each no smaller than the Bone Dragon City Lord! This was, level 8 troops? BOSS-level troops?
Da Fei was stricken with amazement, yet heard Samael laugh heartily, "Mortals, with me here, you know what to do?"
Da Fei immediately realized, "I understand! I know what to do!"
This self-sacrificing and altruistic Angel, not hesitating to expend Divine Power to shield us, explicitly asks me to destroy the city for experience, huh? No more words needed, I won’t let the Angel Brother’s trust down, I’m going all out!
The Bone Dragon angrily said, "Foolish and mad! Let’s see how long you can hold out!"
In that instant, Bone Dragons all over the sky spewed black mist onto the golden shield enveloping the fleet. And Da Fei’s fleet, amid the thunderous roar, charged towards another stone pillar!
How long? No need for long, just enough until the storm lands behind us! Angel Brother, hold on!
