Chapter 673 - 636: Slaying the Nightmare, the Arena BOSS
In order to verify his thoughts, Da Fei immediately controlled the Blood Eagle to fly stealthily into the sky. The target in his view grew larger and clearer with black and white colors. Indeed, it was a chessboard! A chessboard as big as a soccer field! To Da Fei, this floating chessboard was like an island discovered by a drowning person in the ocean!
Da Fei exclaimed with joy, "We’ve found a foothold, let’s rush up!"
The Thunder Angel said in a deep voice, "I can’t fly that high!"
Ror quickly replied, "It’s okay, we’ll pull you up!"
The group of angels immediately grabbed the broken chains on the Thunder Angel and flew towards the sky. With this pull, the Thunder Angel let out a miserable howl, and blood splattered as fresh as ever!
Da Fei was shocked and tightened his grip. Damn, these chains are connected to his flesh; you white-clad angels better be careful!
As the angels kept themselves busy with pulling the Thunder Angel, they naturally couldn’t deal with the poker cards intercepting mid-air. But it was okay, Da Fei had two hundred cards in hand, and dealing cards quickly was as easy as receiving them, and receiving cards fast made dealing quick.
So under the continuous sound of fireworks in the air, amid the Thunder Angel’s howls, the Angel Army finally reached the floating chessboard high above.
Watching everyone safely land, Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh out loud! There was nothing floating here above the chessboard anymore. This was the high point of the Nightmare Space and, undoubtedly, the key to breaking the game; as long as his troops had a place to rest, the initiative would be in his hands, haha!
The Thunder Angel, now as weak as a dying dog, said breathlessly, "Warrior, finding this place shows you’ve made significant progress, but I’m done for; I need to rest to recover stamina and stop the bleeding. Please don’t crack this space before I regain my strength, or I won’t have the power to fly back to the Divine Punishment City."
Da Fei hurriedly said, "You must hold on, just rest well!"
The Thunder Angel said no more and closed his eyes to sleep.
Ror sighed, "It’s a pity his body is demonized; otherwise, our Holy Light could heal his wounds. Let’s hope he recovers soon so we can break the game faster, or the defense of Divine Punishment City will be much weaker."
Wow, if Divine Punishment City goes bankrupt, will you beautiful ladies follow me forever?
Da Fei quickly said, "Don’t worry, everyone take a rest quickly; as long as we have a place to rest, we can slowly and meticulously find the Nightmare’s weakness."
Ror nodded, "Okay, Warrior!"
Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, finally catching his breath. As long as I’m at this high point, I can calmly utilize the God-level Reconnaissance Technique’s advanced treasure appraiser advantage to overlook the situation; I refuse to believe I can’t find the Nightmare! Anyway, let’s see the competition field.
Switching to the competition field, Da Fei found the scene unbearable to watch. Several high chess pieces, as if giant war machines, surrounded his troops layer by layer; hundreds of Demon Children were being flattened into meat patties under the "feet" of these giant pieces like the Six-headed Snake did before!
Damn it, in just two short minutes, the dense army was mostly wiped out, leaving only a small group surrounded. It was just a field BOSS, but the scale of this Nightmare Space couldn’t compare to the one in Divine Punishment City, why so brutal? Is my 150-point defense fake? As expected, the butcher has great power, and killing soldiers is easier than slaughtering pigs!
In shock and anger, Da Fei studied the whole board and suddenly realized that all the pieces were up except for a tall, thin piece at the back. This was the Emperor, what we Chinese players call General, right? It was so timid and clearly not the Nightmare! It’s so obvious!
That is to say, now all the pieces have come to encircle me, making the Emperor the lone Commander. If not now, when is the time to break through and behead it? The problem is, I’m surrounded inside and out like an iron bucket, how can I break out?
This question not only bothered Da Fei, but all the watching players around the world wanted to know. Indeed, as Fortson and his group observed from behind the scenes, Da Fei seemed destined to lose; however, his calm demeanor of "letting you surround" and "letting you kill" made them uneasy. As a player who killed the S-level difficulty Six-headed Snake, would he sit by and wait for death like this?
At this moment, the Hell Captain Howell shook his head and sighed, "The intelligent weakness of this Nightmare is too obvious, every ordinary player watching knows the final Emperor is the key. Besides, right from the start, those fast-acting Queens, Rooks, and Bishops launched an attack. Now these fast pieces are encircled by slowly arriving pawns, unable to move, and if Da Fei breaks through, the Emperor will have no fast-piece protector."
Fortson frowned, "No choice, the field BOSS can’t connect to intelligent brains, the intelligence level can only reach such a degree."
George VIII laughed heartily, "Does Mr. Howell think this is Da Fei’s pre-planned bait tactic? Then how could Da Fei break out from this multitude of barriers, squeeze out from between two pieces?"
Just then, the scene changed; Da Fei’s Elf Ranger Female Hero held a weapon that flashed with Demon Light, and a large group of Demon Children suddenly appeared outside the pieces’ encircling circle! This group immediately caught the attention of the surrounding pieces, which then moved, creating a small gap in the once iron-clad encirclement!
At this moment, the global audience was in an uproar! Da Fei finally made his move!
At this instant, the Supernova Team meeting room was utterly stunned: "Illusion Army! Absolutely an illusion army under God-level Magic, capable of placing illusions anywhere on the battlefield! Capable of materializing illusions to achieve realistic effects to deceive NPCs effectively!"
Watching the pieces drawn away by illusions, George VIII was even more shocked, "This was indeed his bait tactic! He had a strategy from the start, this Chinese man is terrifyingly cunning and calm!"
Fortson’s face darkened, "I thought this Chinese won due to luck and decent awareness, but now it seems I’ve underestimated him!"
Igarashi lamented bitterly, "So this BOSS is dangerous again? Da Fei might get good stuff again?"
Fortson waved his hand gently, "Rest assured, the Nightmare’s drops are too advanced and targeted, Da Fei wouldn’t find them useful even if he gets them."
...
Now, Da Fei’s remaining troops charged like a torrent breaking through a dam, led by the Unicorn, towards the lonely Emperor standing far on the chessboard, who was as immobile as a pawn. With nowhere to escape, even if it defended like a level 10 city wall, against Da Fei’s strong Attack and tons of damage output, everything was a joke, not to mention Da Fei also had the Human Cannon!
The critical point was the support from other pawns. But no worries, Da Fei continued to use the Demon Child as cannon fodder!
At this moment, the whole world audience was stunned by what took place before them!
The Emperor was surrounded by Da Fei’s breakout army, with countless single and double and triple damage figures filling the screen; nobody knew how much damage the Emperor took in that instant, only that the other pieces remained far behind in a mass, too late to aid; the Emperor’s defeat was already sealed!
At this moment, all players’ previous speculations, distrust, and mockery were answered by Da Fei. Da Fei made a decisive counterattack that reversed the situation in an instant! What an astonishing level of judgement, even professional players may not have such calmness and poise, Da Fei truly deserved the title of the world’s strongest amateur player!
Finally, under the shocked eyes of all global players, the towering Emperor fell with a crash!
