Chapter 669 - 632: Nightmare’s Pursuit
As a huge surge of water erupted from the bottom of the Blood Lake, a dark red immense figure with wings emerged, dragging a dozen long chains - it was the Thunder Angel!
At the same time, hundreds of Flying Demons on high alert immediately swooped in, swinging their large scythes.
Damn! Da Fei’s heart tightened, quickly directing Little Fei to dive down to meet him. Just then, with a flash of lightning and a loud bang, the Thunder Angel’s body emitted a large circle of electric arcs, paralyzing all nearby Flying Demons, causing them to lose control and plummet down, giving the Thunder Angel a chance to break through the encirclement!
Oh yes, this Thunder Angel really does have some tricks up his sleeve, making the player’s rescue mission much easier and worry-free. Of course, it’s all thanks to me feeding him the Divine Level Fragment; otherwise, who knows if he could even emit electricity?
Now, Little Fei immediately followed and positioned himself, ready to use Petrification Aura on any pursuers who got close.
Just then, the Thunder Angel spoke, "Warrior! Thank you for giving me the strength to break through, but I am severely injured and won’t last much longer. You must find a way to get me back to camp, because if I get captured again, I fear I won’t have the strength to resist the demons’ corruption and will inevitably fall!"
Damn it, what’s next? "If I can’t make it, please kill me" right? Making Little Fei kill you would at least be considered a good deed.
At this moment, all Da Fei could do was to control the Blood Eagle to screech in response.
Sure enough, upon hearing Da Fei’s response, the Thunder Angel was invigorated and vigorously flapped its three pairs of wings, causing the blood from the chain wounds to gush out like a fountain!
Only then did Da Fei realize that those dozens of chains were actually nailed into its body, like shackles pinning the bones of a prisoner! Oh my god, with this kind of blood loss, I guess he would die from bleeding before he could even fly far?
Meanwhile, those Flying Demons paralyzed by the electric arcs quickly recovered and chased from behind. Da Fei’s heart tightened again; these Flying Demons are quite powerful, aren’t they?
The Thunder Angel furiously said, "If I weren’t weakened, these trash would have already been turned to ashes! If I can successfully escape and regain my strength, I swear I’ll return for revenge!"
Nice, that’s the spirit! But glancing at the pursuit speed of the Flying Demons and then at the Thunder Angel’s bleeding speed, Da Fei sensed the situation was quite critical. In just a few seconds, the Flying Demons had gained on them, getting closer and closer.
It was time to take action, Little Fei’s Petrification Aura activated!
The speed of the hundred pursuing Flying Demons suddenly stalled! In that moment, the Thunder Angel once again flashed with lightning, timely unleashing another electric arc. In an instant, the hundred electrified Flying Demons jerked violently once more, losing control and falling again!
Da Fei was thrilled, this time a double hit with petrifaction and electric shock. Could the Flying Demons even manage to land on their faces properly? No, I must take advantage of the chaos! Little Fei’s special skill precisely has an effect that directly produces a "Broken Wings" - Enhanced Fierce Bird Suppression!
- Enhanced Fierce Bird Suppression: Increases damage by 100% to non-elite bird-type creatures and reduces their Attack Speed by 25%. It has a 50% chance of directly causing a "Broken Wings" effect on all small-sized flying creatures.
Clearly these Flying Demons were not small-sized flying creatures, but the special skill’s description didn’t say it was completely ineffective against medium or large-sized flying creatures, did it? I don’t need a high rate of 50%, even 20%, 10% would do! Even if it has no effect, successfully drawing their aggro would be great.
Little Fei immediately turned and dove towards the closest Falling Demon – Bang!! "-84!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows shot up; damage 84, Little Fei’s 30 attack points increased by over 150%, so the attack-defense difference was about 30. With Little Fei’s attack at 75, this meant these Flying Demons had a defense over 30, on the same scale as ordinary angels! These kinds of demons were what the Thunder Angel called trash?
No time to ponder further, nor to see if the enemy fell to the ground after the collision, Da Fei immediately controlled the Blood Eagle to dive towards another descending Flying Demon, swiftly and repeatedly landing hits. Within a few seconds, Little Fei had continually charged at five or six Flying Demons. The first Flying Demon struck finally yielded a satisfactory result – it tumbled and struggled in the air from start to finish without recovering, then with a bang, "-104!" damage, it fell to the ground thrashing.
Da Fei was overjoyed! Then came more good news one after another; all the demons hit by Little Fei fell to the ground, with one even plunging into the boiling lava, splashing fiery waves.
Oh yeah!
But immediately, Da Fei realized only those hit by Little Fei were injured in the fall; the other hundreds of demons still managed to regain control before hitting the ground, causing no substantial damage.
Da Fei was so frustrated! Just a bit more force and they could’ve all been brought down!
No, no, no! It was the Thunder Angel who’s flying a bit too high, right? If he flew lower, couldn’t it just let all the Flying Demons be affected? The question is how to make him fly lower? I can’t speak, can I? Oh crap, don’t Blood Eagles have rights too?
Just then, the Thunder Angel spoke again: "Warrior! I can hardly believe you possess such magical skills! Just like I can hardly believe you possess such magical Crystal Stones. The fact that you appeared in front of me proves your extraordinariness; you are worthy of my entrustment of life! Now I’ve lost too much blood to ensure proper judgment, and my remaining strength is also running low. Now I decide to join your team and let you command me to escape!"
——System Prompt: You’ve triggered the mission "Escape of Thunder Angel Remy"! Remy has joined your team!
——Task Hint: Safely escort Remy back to Divine Punishment City.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitch with surprise, triggering the mission now? Wasn’t it said that bro could not accept missions in this scene if under level 50? Can bro’s Blood Eagle also form a team? This Remy is definitely stronger than all the angels on the Mercenary Leader’s list, how much is his Command Value? Or is he a mission NPC whose Command Value does not get counted?
But none of that matters anymore, what’s important is that Remy can now be commanded by me, the only skill he can use right now is "Thunder Impact". So stop thinking about anything else, fly lower! I’m going to catch them all in one sweep, ha ha ha ha!
While Da Fei was controlling Remy to fly low, Remy spoke again: "Be careful below!"
Da Fei couldn’t help but be startled, below? Just then, a sudden red light exploded on the screen!
——System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! The Chaos Blood Flesh Demon’s Chaos Demon Blood Spray Skill has targeted your Reconnaissance Eagle Xiao Fei and Thunder Angel Remy, please dodge in time!
Boss Flesh Demon?! Da Fei suddenly got a shock, only then noticing that the ground was covered with meat mountains of Bosses swelling up, preparing to fire anti-aircraft guns!
Oh my goodness! The range of this meat mountain, I’ve seen it! Da Fei swiftly flew higher, barely escaping the opponent’s range!
Remy spoke solemnly: "Warrior, be quick. I can’t promise how much longer I can fly at this altitude!"
Damn it! Looking at the Flying Demons chasing again from behind, and the huge meat mountains everywhere on the ground, Da Fei quickly scanned around, his eyes soon fixated on a boiling, bubbling Lava Lake not far away! That’s the spot, there surely won’t be any meat mountain anti-aircraft guns over the lake, right? Okay, let’s make a hotpot out of these Flying Demons there, and wipe them out in one go!
Da Fei decisively turned, leading the large group of Flying Demons right over the lake surface and deliberately slowed down and lowered—closer, even closer! Denser, even denser! Oh my, they really listen well!
It’s about time! Another flash of Thunder Light, Xiao Fei’s Petrification Aura activates!
This time, the Flying Demons didn’t disappoint Da Fei. Hundreds of Flying Demons, like hundreds of meat dumplings, all dropped into the Lava Lake, and at that instant, a huge sizzling sound rose from the whole lake surface, billowing up a large mist of blood!
Da Fei roared with laughter! Even if they are demons, they are still divided into Blood and Fire Elements. The flesh and blood of Blood Element bodies, although more heat-resistant than ordinary creatures, can’t withstand bathing in a Lava Pool; after all, they turned into a hotpot. Now without the Flying Demons, who can stop me? Ha ha, wa ha ha ha!
Remy spoke solemnly: "Warrior, your clever tactics are admirable, but we must leave this lake immediately!"
Isn’t that obvious? With the game’s characteristics, there must be a lake monster in such a big lake! Da Fei immediately soared higher. And just then, a huge red dot suddenly surged from the bottom of the Lava Lake on the radar, as expected!
With a loud splash, amidst the soaring lava waves, a gigantic horse engulfed in blazing flames leaped out, its piercing neigh shaking the heavens and the earth!
Da Fei was enormously shaken, Boss level Hell Horse!
Remy annoyed: "It’s a Hell Nightmare, it can fly, don’t let it catch up!" After saying this, ignoring his bleeding wounds, he vigorously flapped his wings again.
Da Fei’s eyes narrowed in fear, Nightmare! Hell Race’s level 5 soldier Hell Horse’s ultimate form, a Divine Beast Level creature that feeds on flames and dreams!
Sure enough, the Nightmare galloped with fiery hooves, then its body flames materialized into a pair of angel-like elegant Flame Wings and soared into the sky!
Da Fei dropped his jaw, Flame Pegasus! Indeed, Divine Beast Level creatures capable of flying and Instant Teleportation are nothing strange! What do we do now? Can’t run away! The Petrification Aura doesn’t work on Boss, let alone a Divine Beast, this Nightmare must have appeared because we messed up the mission!
Speaking of which, this way of doing the mission is not normal in itself, normally they would send an army to rescue him, who lets him run by himself? Any accident would be normal!
Wait? Send an army to the rescue? Maybe there’s still time? Yes, I’ll seek help from NPC! This is the last straw! So, while remotely controlling from Divine Punishment City Square, Da Fei immediately came before Miss Ror in a panic and anxious manner: "Miss Ror, I’ve rescued Thunder Angel Remy!"
Ror was greatly surprised: "Remy? You’ve rescued him?"
Da Fei urgently said: "I only managed halfway, we killed the hundreds of guards chasing us, but we disturbed the Nightmare in the Lava Lake, so I request Miss Ror to send troops for support!"
