Chapter 567 - 533: Have a Good Talk with Leviathan
Radiant City, shrouded in fog.
Amidst the scorched earth filled with corpses and smoke, the golden light of the resurrection army rose and fell. The battle temporarily ended, but new challenges had just begun, as the Star Guild still faced the onslaught of unknown monsters. Naturally, the Eternal Star had already set its sights on new territories, knowing it was hopeless to replace them, and dealing with monsters seemed absurd. In fact, they hoped the unknown monster would trample the city to ruins, so as not to benefit Da Fei.
But as time passed, the legendary monster still didn’t arrive. In the foggy surroundings, the undercover team members Dragon Slayer planted in the Star Guild couldn’t capture any monster videos. It was easy to imagine how restless Ma Yinglong was, as if sitting on pins and needles.
In contrast to the concerns of the two presidents, Da Fei was full of spirit and enthusiasm at that moment.
Meanwhile, at the Pool of Radiance, one water monster after another was eliminated. Leviathan’s attack speed had slowed considerably, and its damage was reduced, making it difficult to easily crush water monsters. Yet, its attitude became more amiable. Following Aeris’ success in eliminating part of Leviathan’s hostility, both Da Fei and Alina received messages indicating they had successfully reduced animosity.
It was easy to imagine the baby in the egg exclaiming, "Mama, it’s that group of water monster uncles scaring me! These ship-sailing brothers and sisters are protecting me!"
Haha, hahaha! Yes, the brothers and sisters are good people!
As the battle progressed, hundreds of Blood Abyss Demon souls were continuously absorbed into Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff until the staff turned completely crimson. Heaven knows what this battle would end up doing to the Sea Soul Staff! Haha, hahaha!
Finally, with only a few water monsters left, Da Fei prepared to give it his all. No amount of assists and fancy dribbling would matter if they didn’t result in victory; everything came down to this one strike!
At this moment, the Flying began retreating from the battlefield. Anlicia was fully focused, waiting beside the flashing demon light of the teleportation array, ready to slip away at a moment’s notice!
With the last wave of blood flying into the air, the final water monster fell! And at that moment, Leviathan’s spotlight-like gaze focused once again on the Flying!
In that instant, the entire Flying fell silent! Everyone held their breath, tensely watching Leviathan’s reaction, while Da Fei’s heart pounded nervously. Would they enter a battle?
One second! Two seconds! Time seemed to drag on endlessly, with Da Fei’s heart pounding up to his throat, ready to burst. He felt as if he were under a gigantic magnifying glass, its murderous glare capable of setting the entire Flying ablaze!
Finally, Leviathan blinked, and the spotlight’s glow vanished! Da Fei clenched his fist, wondering if he had succeeded or failed. Would there be a system prompt?
When Leviathan reopened its eyes, the spotlight faced forward! Boom! A massive wave surged skyward as Leviathan’s gigantic body surged toward Radiant City with the force of mountains and rivers!
"Whew!!!" Without a battle ensuing, everyone aboard the ship let out a long breath, nearly collapsing in relief!
And then, a slew of system prompts filled the screen!
—System Prompt: You successfully eliminated the animosity of the powerful creature Leviathan, and you received information on God-level Leadership Skill!
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alina successfully eliminated the animosity of the powerful creature Leviathan, receiving information on God-level Leadership Skill.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre... received information on Master-level Leadership Skill.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia... received information on Master-level Leadership Skill.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Catherine... received information on Master-level Leadership Skill.
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia... received information on Master-level Leadership Skill.
.....
Darn it! I wasn’t dancing on the edge just to boost my skills!
Da Fei immediately said, "Let Selvia take some time to clean up the battlefield, and then head to Radiant City!"
Anlicia anxiously said, "Lord City Lord, Radiant City’s safety is unpredictable; there’s no time for battlefield cleaning!"
Darn it! Although what you say makes sense, could you not embarrass me in front of other people’s wives and argue with your husband?
Aeris sighed while shaking his head, "We’ve done our best. If this can’t calm it down, we have no way of preventing it from destroying the city!"
After saying that, Aeris patted Da Fei on the shoulder seriously, "But don’t worry; although the city might be destroyed, the losses on the Demon Army’s side would be immeasurable. Leviathan’s appearance this time caused a flood that turned the Demon Camp into an ocean. Tens of thousands of Demon Army troops became stranded, with no hope for survival. More importantly, the loss of the main force, the Blood Abyss Demon, broke the balance in the New World Suvalna War Zone, forcing the Demon Army to shift their strategic focus back to the New World. I believe the Demon Army no longer has the strength to attempt anything at the Pool of Radiance again. This battle is sure to be once and for all! Warrior, you will be the most honorable hero of the Alliance. All right, the city’s residents have already evacuated. Mentally prepare for the city’s destruction; I’ll go ahead now. See you later!"
After saying that, he mounted a Pegasus, let out a long neigh, and soared into the sky.
Indeed, even though I messed up with Leviathan’s egg, I gained significant merit by leveraging Leviathan’s power. If this turns out to be a once-and-for-all victory, my future rebuilding efforts will be much less worrisome—it would be worth it! However, letting the city I painstakingly built be destroyed by a monster still fills my heart with immense reluctance. Da Fei, filled with reluctance, controlled Little Fei to follow immediately to see what would happen.
At that moment, Da Fei suddenly noticed Anlicia, staring into the sky in a trance, not snapping out of it even after the silver light vanished into the underground darkness!
Darn it! You’ve been daydreaming while Selvia has absorbed three souls. Could you stop troubling me?
Following the trail of Leviathan’s waves, Little Fei caught up with Leviathan, and the foggy silhouette of Radiant City appeared before them!
At this moment, the last thing Da Fei could do was probably to take a picture of Radiant City as a memento, as it was the culmination of Da Fei’s initial gaming efforts.
And then Leviathan submerged, its massive body heading straight toward the underwater spot where the egg was placed outside the city wall!
Indeed, it’s natural for both humans and beasts. The first thing it would do is to check whether its baby was harmed, right? And if it found the baby unharmed and plump, would it spare me out of relief?
Darn it! Even if it’s an unreliable idea, Da Fei’s only hope now is for the egg not to have been scratched by those water monsters! Otherwise, Radiant City’s doomed!
Now, Leviathan’s enormous body fully submerged beneath the water, its giant mouth making zero-distance contact with the city wall’s foundation! At this moment, Leviathan seemed like a guest poised to "push the door" and enter at any moment.
Once again, the entire Radiant City fell silent!
As time ticked by, Leviathan lay quietly at the bottom without surfacing for a long time—was it? Hatching an egg? Was it having a mother-child reunion and sobbing, "Mama will never leave the baby again?"
Da Fei quickly opened the mission tab to check the mission description!
—System Prompt: Leviathan has arrived, and you should respond with all your might!
Respond with all your might! Damn it! How else was I supposed to respond? Did it mean I had to go to the scene and face it directly? It was the only option; it didn’t attack me last time, and hasn’t destroyed the city either, so there must be room to talk! Damn it, there must be room to talk, or how else can this mission be completed?
At this point, Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff had absorbed all the water monster souls from the lake surface, and Da Fei took a deep breath, "Return to the city!"
Already anxious, Anlicia immediately activated the teleportation array, and in a flash of light, a splash of water, the Flying returned to the city’s moat dock.
At this moment, the fog over the city gradually dimmed. Looking around, the city was riddled with scars and wreathed in thick smoke. Da Fei opened the city interface and saw that, fortunately, besides the demolished clinic, other major buildings were only slightly damaged, losing some durability, and could be repaired without any issue. However, the Bell Tower Netherworld Vault under construction became a half-finished project, with project progress at about 50% and requiring additional resources for completion. Fortunately, I have plenty of resources.
Damn it! Why bother with additional construction for now! Let’s get past the Leviathan hurdle first, then we’ll talk!
At that moment, Aeris descended from the sky again, landing on the Flying’s deck with an incredibly serious expression, "Warrior, the situation is extremely troublesome now. As soon as you approach Leviathan’s area, the Reconnaissance Skill will sound the alarm, and it might attack. What is your response strategy?"
Da Fei was shocked suddenly, "Didn’t we help it just now, and it let us off the hook?"
Aeris sighed, "That was then, this is now. Perhaps, considering Leviathan’s usual vicious temperament, it didn’t pursue us as a nod to human sentiment."
Anlicia chimed in, "This Leviathan is definitely guarding its young, and for any mother beast, they become extremely dangerous when guarding their young. Even the normally gentle hen would peck at an owner who approaches recklessly."
Aeris nodded, "Reasonable!"
"Excuse me!" In that moment, Anlicia’s face flushed blissfully with redness!
Darn it! You’re lovesick over what, exactly! Da Fei groaned, "Are we supposed to wait until it hatches the egg?"
Aeris sighed, "Who knows? Perhaps, we won’t have to wait for the egg to hatch. We might only need to wait until it recovers its stamina and injury, and in a good mood, it will easily destroy the city. Or in a bad mood, easily destroy the city! If it actually destroyed the city and left, that would save us trouble. But if it stubbornly clung here, not leaving, that would be problematic. Construction couldn’t progress, and even the future restoration of the World Tree becomes a significant difficulty!"
Da Fei said in a deep voice, "My plan is to try having a conversation with it!"
Aeris was surprised, "Do you know the language of the Sea Race?"
Da Fei was suddenly alarmed. Does communicating with a Divine Beast require language skills? Isn’t it just a matter of strength and skill? Darn it, isn’t this creating a problem for me? Now Leviathan switched to mother hen mode, so how could I still perform strength and skill-based tricks before it?
At that moment, Anlicia’s eyebrows twitched, "Don’t we have a Sea Race member? The Fishman Gulu Gulu?" (To be continued.
