Chapter 672 - 635: The Key to Breaking the Situation in Nightmare Space
For Da Fei at this moment, this Nightmare Boss was undoubtedly the most frustrating boss he had encountered in the game, even more frustrating than the Hydra, because he couldn’t find his target. And what’s more frustrating than facing one Nightmare? Facing two Nightmares!
What to do? Over there at the competition area, we can only stand firm, believing that no matter how strong a competition area Boss is, it wouldn’t be much, maybe it’s just a regular Hell Horse Boss?
Without further thought, Da Fei immediately commanded the Earth Element Boss to move out and meet the enemy.
——Earth Altar Guardian: A giant elemental life form of leader-level, Attack 60, Defense 85, Damage 55-115, Life 10500, Magic Resistance 75%, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 14, Command Value 150, Special Skills: Earth Rebirth, Rock Throwing Attack, Attack Rebound, Master-level Defense Skill, Dazing Strike, Crushing Attack, Horizontal Slash.
——Earth Rebirth: The life form recovers 1% of life every second standing on the ground.
This is the long-lost property of the Earth Element, recovering 1% of health every second, which is 100 points of health per second. With the 150 Defense added from Da Fei’s competition account, the Defense of the Earth Element is close to that of a level 3 city wall, plus the Earth Element’s signature skills like Attack Rebound and its inherent Master-level Defense Skill, theoretically this Earth Element could easily face any Boss without pressure.
In any case, just rely on the Earth Element to hold the line. As for that SAWSAW, if he tries to take advantage of the chaos to attack, then sorry, My Human Cannon is going to be unsealed in front of the whole world’s people! Elena’s over 10,000 lightning damage could blast nearly a thousand levels of 1 and 2 troops in one shot, the American’s Horned Demon Governor troops are really nothing compared to two shots from Elena.
And just when the Hell Horse charged in front of Da Fei’s troops, the Hell Horse neighed longly, its body flashed with fire, and the entire arena lit up in red!
——System Prompt: Nightmare has activated the Nightmare Space skill, loading scene, please prepare for countermeasures!
Da Fei spewed a mouthful of saliva! Damn, so this competition Boss is really a Nightmare, what the hell, I’m just playing a match, do I need Divine Beasts roaming everywhere?
Then the scene changed, in the competition arena, Da Fei’s troops appeared on a giant square with alternating black and white tiles, surrounded by dozens of strange buildings that resembled watchtowers. When Da Fei saw a giant horse head sculpture on one of the tall buildings, he suddenly realized, these were all chess pieces, and this square was a chessboard!
At that moment, a huge horn sounded from the chessboard, those buildings resembling chess pieces moved, Da Fei recognized this move, that’s called pawn advancement! Will there also be knights, rooks, and queens moving later? Given the game’s nature, does every chess piece have the difficulty of a big Boss? Challenging a Nightmare equates to challenging dozens of Bosses at the same time? Which one was the real body of the Nightmare? The most jumping knight? Or the King?
But now Da Fei, already overwhelmed with dealing with battles on two fronts, couldn’t manage that much anymore. Compared to just a match, the Nightmare Space in the Divine Punishment City is not to be failed! Just continue to withstand until the end, not to mention having over three thousand Demon Children, even three thousand pigs standing here for you to kill would fatigue your hands from killing!
So Da Fei continued to defend in place, careless, unconcerned, immovable!
At this moment, looking at the sudden appearance of a huge chessboard in the arena, the 400,000 worldwide audience were shocked and in uproar! A battle scene within another battle scene was obviously eye-opening, the audience, which had been bored for 5 minutes, finally got a huge point of interest.
And just when the audience was intently watching how Da Fei would respond, Da Fei remained immovable like a mountain, seemingly unaware even the scene had changed? Was he really having diarrhea? Or did he fall asleep on auto-pilot, completely unaware of entering the match?
At this moment, harboring the same question of course were also the members of the Supernova Team watching behind the scenes, like Fortson and others.
And as a team manager who wasn’t particularly skilled in the game, Igarashi very tactfully posed this question based on his outsider status, which everyone was surely concerned about, "I just saw Da Fei’s Earth Element move, otherwise I would have thought he was really AFK, but what exactly does he intend to do? Could it be that hiding inside the chessboard could avoid the adverse effects of lava terrain?"
Fortson chuckled: "Unlikely, the chessboard is still in the competition area, the longer Da Fei stays in the arena, the more disadvantageous the situation becomes for him, and each chess piece here has attack and defense power not weaker than a Nightmare, I am really curious what tactics Da Fei has to break this chess game."
Igarashi exclaimed in shock, "I didn’t expect the Nightmare to possess such astounding power, even a Demon King might not be that strong!"
Fortson shook his head and smilingly said, "Nightmare has its weaknesses too, Da Fei still has a chance, as long as he can checkmate the King in this game of chess."
Howell laughed heartily, "Da Fei is impossible to checkmate under the attack of so many chess pieces. Even if he checkmates the King, he wouldn’t be a match for SAWSAW outside the chessboard."
Igarashi indeed kept exclaiming in amazement, "I see!"
While aware of its weaknesses, witnessing such power of the Nightmare, Igarashi was somewhat eager to change Japan’s development strategy, and fully develop Nightmares. It must be said, the abilities of the Nightmare indeed extended beyond normal troops’ special skills range.
So, facing the Nightmare, facing the Chess Army pushing forward like a giant wall, what will Da Fei, the world’s number one amateur player, do to break the game? Spectators around the world are watching closely.
How to break the game? As the person involved, Da Fei himself doesn’t know, Da Fei can’t manage that much, he’s too busy collecting poker cards with wide eyes.
And Da Fei finally saw the formation of these flying poker cards clearly, poker cards also team up hand in hand!
For example, a long string of mixed straights "3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A" flying over like centipedes from afar! Holy crap, is this playing landlord or what? And according to the game’s nature, wouldn’t such teamed-up straights share a Life Value? If so, it can’t really be resolved by clashing with troops directly, looks like he can only avoid them and start with collecting individual cards. Fortunately, cards below J are very weak, and they get instantly killed on contact without fighting back.
And when a weak Diamond 7 turns into ashes above the Lava Sea, the awaited bomb arrives as expected:
- System Prompt: You have Diamond 7, Club 7, Heart 7, Spade 7, successfully combining into a bomb! The bomb can obliterate any card formation except for the two jokers! The bomb cannot counter a larger bomb.
Da Fei is overjoyed, it really is playing landlord! With the bomb in hand, even jokers are no problem anymore! So what are we waiting for, where’s that long straight from before? This is a beneficial trade, four weak cards for 12, a quarter of the deck just like that!
And while Da Fei was looking for the straight, he saw another long string "333, 444, 555"!
Oh snap! Da Fei laughed, this is the "plane" from playing landlord! Just need to shoot down the plane, then he basically gets 3 bombs, with bombs in hand, he can conquer the world!
Da Fei immediately changed his mind, lunged toward this hand-in-hand string of Poker Monsters, and decisively used the bomb, four cards flew out like missiles, exploding in the air like fireworks!
- System Prompt: You used "Bomb" four 7s to exterminate the target card formation, you lost the bomb, obtained card formation "plane," only a higher-numbered plane, or a bomb, jokers can counter it.
- System Prompt: You have Diamond 4, Club 4, Heart 4, Spade 4, successfully combining into a bomb...
Looking at the heap of extra cards, Da Fei laughed loudly! Who would use a plane against a plane, the bomb is the real deal!
What else to say now, go find that big straight! In playing landlord, the role of straights is to speed up playing, and here, no doubt, it’s meant to speed up card collection for players!
After finding the knack, Da Fei joyfully darted across the sky, and in less than two minutes, Da Fei continuously bombed and snowballed, collecting 200 cards, besides duplicate suits, could basically make 4 sets of cards, now the critical issue came, among the flying poker cards in the sky, you just can’t see the big and small jokers!
Then Da Fei realized where the difficulty of this gameplay lies, where could the big and small jokers be? Hidden in the very center of the poker array? Does it require sweeping through this endless deck of cards? Even if he breaks through, if the jokers appear as a pair, none of his cards would match, so he must dispatch troops to clash directly? Da Fei simply couldn’t imagine the strength of a pair of jokers.
At this moment, Thunder Angel spoke: "Warrior, I am very tired now, I don’t have much time left."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched in shock, that’s right, caught up in his own fun, he didn’t notice that Thunder Angel has been bleeding! And even if Thunder Angel wasn’t injured, his troops’ Stamina wouldn’t be enough to clear so many poker cards, right?
Da Fei hurriedly said, "Now we’ve collected many cards and still no result, what should I do?"
Thunder Angel looked around the sky and said solemnly, "This is a children’s dream, children cannot judge with normal thinking, perhaps, we should change our approach and start with another type of toy."
Change the approach? That’s right, broaden the mind and the possibilities are endless, if one path is blocked, try another! Da Fei quickly glanced around, reassessing this sky filled with all sorts of poker, Chess, toy bears, and Magic Books.
Wait, chess? Speaking of which, international Chess is usually kept in a wooden box, right? The competition site’s Nightmare Space has a chessboard, why isn’t there one here? If cleaning up the room is key to breaking the game, then putting the chess pieces back on the board is the right way to go, there should be a chessboard here, right? And if the chess pieces here are so large, how big should this board be? It should be at least as big as the one at the competition site, meaning maybe the board can serve as a resting point!
Yes, a resting point is needed! This is a Divine Beast Level Nightmare Space, not something that can be solved in minutes, now he must find the chessboard!
With a clear goal in mind, Da Fei quickly saw from Little Fei’s perspective something small and black and white floating high in the sky, is that the chessboard? So tiny?
No! Or is it because it’s so high and far away, it appears smaller than anything else? If the chessboard is floating that high, hiding so sneaky, it definitely is the key to breaking the game!
