Chapter 674 - 637: Annihilation of SAWSAW
When the Emperor Chess Piece couldn’t withstand the onslaught of Da Fei’s Army for 10 seconds, Da Fei burst into laughter!
If it were just a regular Hell Horse BOSS, at least there would be a Flame Shield and Fear Aura Skill. This kind of setup wouldn’t work with Low-level Soldiers even if you tried. The piece transformed into something with high attack and defense attributes but nothing else; if all the pieces hadn’t turned to support Da Fei, he might have doubted whether this was really the core. Ultimately, a competition BOSS is just a competition BOSS, or rather, the weaknesses of the Nightmare are just that weak.
With the fall of the Emperor, the entire guild channel erupted: "Brother Fei, you really scared us!"
"Brother Fei counterattacks with precision!"
"Wondering what kind of gear Brother Fei will get from killing such a bizarre BOSS?"
"Brother Fei, be careful, the Americans have you surrounded outside the chessboard!"
"The Americans are obviously going to use Horned Demon self-detonation, be careful, Brother Fei!"
Da Fei was eagerly watching the BOSS drops when he suddenly remembered the Americans outside! Damn, I only have less than six hundred soldiers left. If it comes down to a head-to-head fight, I can’t win! No choice but to have the Human Cannon, Elena, take action. I thought no player could force me to act at this stage!
You’re forcing my hand, and when I get serious, even I get scared!
Now the chessboard began to blur and disappear. With a change of scenes, Da Fei returned to hell, and at that moment, before he could see the surroundings clearly, a massive blaze came rushing toward his face!
Scene change ambush! Usually used to ambush players who have just exited an instance or Teleportation Gate, who often haven’t had time to see their surroundings yet. The attack is timed perfectly for a sneak attack, leaving no room to counter. This is a very old and effective ambush method, timeless even in today’s high-level gameplay.
However, no matter how extraordinary a player’s reaction speed is, they can’t compete with a computer! So Da Fei, prepared in advance, had already set Elena to "automated combat"!
So the moment the fire rushed forward, Elena’s Fireball Technique was also unleashed!
—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Elena casts "Enhanced Fireball Skill" on SAWSAW’s army!
Indeed, the Lava Hell terrain provides a certain boost to the casting speed and power of Flame magic. In this health-draining, stamina-draining lava environment, the bonus to Flame magic is undoubtedly the strongest. Therefore, the computer-controlled Elena had no hesitation in using Flame magic to counterattack.
At this crucial moment, Da Fei held nothing back, immediately activating "Lucky Hand," and a rainbow light ascended! Not for any other reason than to have the Unicorn’s strategic Divine Skill, "Anti-Magic Barrier," block a couple of spells. The probability of Anti-Magic Barrier activating is only 15%, but Da Fei’s God-level Luck Skill adds another 10%, making a considerable chance.
—Boom boom boom!!! SAWSAW, along with six simultaneous Fireball Techniques from his vice heroes, instantly engulfed Da Fei’s forces in a sea of fire. Simultaneously, the "bang bang bang bang" sound of the Horned Demons’ self-detonation echoed around the remnants of Da Fei’s army!
—System Prompt: Your "Hellhound" units have been annihilated by Hell Fireball Technique!
—System Prompt: The Unicorn’s "Anti-Magic Barrier" has taken effect, avoiding a magic attack!
—System Prompt: Your "Secret Archer" units have been annihilated by Hell Fireball Technique!
—System Prompt: The Unicorn’s "Anti-Magic Barrier" has taken effect, avoiding a magic attack!
In that instant, the entire stadium was engulfed in great flames! Such a spectacular Fireball Technique and thousands of self-detonations left audiences worldwide unable to refrain from exclaiming loudly in their seats! At this moment, the people in the Supernova Command Center regarded this battle as the key to victory—6 main and vice heroes casting Fireball Techniques along with the charge and self-detonation of 2000 Horned Demons. How could Da Fei’s remaining forces hold out?
In the fleeting moment of the blazing flames blooming, the stadium system prompt sounded!
—Stadium Information: Congratulations! The China Region player "Da Fei" successfully defeated North America’s United States player "SAWSAW," achieving victory in the competition!
The world erupted again after a brief silence! Da Fei! The victor was him; it seemed only natural, but the victory’s process was unbelievable! What on earth happened in that sea of flames? How did Da Fei achieve victory?
At this moment, in the video conference room of the Supernova Command Center, everyone’s jaws dropped in shock!
Igarashi exclaimed, "What on earth just happened? I think I saw Da Fei’s blonde female hero also cast a Fireball Technique?"
George VIII coughed and said, "How come Da Fei’s meager forces could withstand SAWSAW’s concentrated and ferocious firepower attack?"
Howell immediately said, "It’s the Unicorn’s Anti-Magic Barrier. The barrier’s glow flashed twice, blocking two fireballs for Da Fei!"
Igarashi said in astonishment, "If I remember correctly, isn’t the chance of Anti-Magic Barrier pretty low, only 15%?"
Howell laughed, "Who knows, maybe the boss’s strength is different."
SAWSAW’s failure was indeed not good news, so as the Hell Captain, Howell naturally emphasized the role of the Unicorn to avoid responsibility.
Actually, the influence of the Unicorn was also considered in SAWSAW’s calculations. SAWSAW didn’t expect one round of concentrated fire to kill Da Fei, but it should at least wipe out Da Fei’s covering forces. Then SAWSAW could play to his Great Demon heritage, instantly teleporting to Da Fei and decapitating him—that would be the true final battle!
Unexpectedly, SAWSAW was directly killed by Da Fei’s fireball, without even a chance to reach the final battle. If any fault lay, it was in the decision to have those 2000 Horned Demons self-detonate, leaving no cannon fodder to absorb magic damage, thus being instantly killed by the Human Cannon’s Fireball Technique.
At this moment, Fortson said darkly, "SAWSAW performed excellently; it’s just that Da Fei is too strong. Our technical department will collect and analyze this match’s data. I will share the data with all friends here. I believe that once everyone further understands Da Fei’s strength, we can feel a greater sense of urgency. This is the solid foundation of our alliance. Let’s struggle together!"
Igarashi immediately supported, "We’ve Japan Region will follow in the Captain’s footsteps!"
George VIII sighed, "It seems we need to accelerate our high-end developments. I’ll reach out to Lance right away."
At this time, Da Fei’s guild channel was filled with cheers and celebrations.
Da Fei looked at his almost depleted health and sparse troops, wiping off a cold sweat that had just trickled down his forehead. It had to be said, the opponent’s strategy of having all vice heroes cast Fireball was extremely sneaky. If it weren’t for the Unicorn’s special skill activation, if it weren’t for Elena’s more powerful fire, I would have nearly been finished by the Americans!
Ultimately, I’m not actually invincible. This world is full of experts, not to mention players like SAWSAW, who became famous early with significant early advantages.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis welled up in Da Fei’s heart. Overall, he wasn’t high-end enough.
Leaving the arena, the fifth competition match would be at 8 PM. With plenty of time, he had to quickly complete the Nightmare Space. The rewards for killing a BOSS in the arena also arrived in his mailbox as promised.
Da Fei eagerly took out the equipment for a look and immediately smiled!
—Nightmare Horn: S-grade strategic treasure, accessory, enemy morale -1, luck -1. Using the horn will summon a powerful Nightmare Beast to fight for you. Note: it can only summon in special scenes like Nightmare Space, Jade Dream, God of Wine Mysterious Realm, and Dream Mystery Realm.
Goodness! It’s just like offering a pillow when you’re sleepy or toilet paper when you need it; I’m right in the middle of the Nightmare Space now! I’ll get to see how this Nightmare fights for me.
As for the other chess-like box, Da Fei was puzzled. This was the first time Da Fei had seen a BOSS drop a treasure meant for auction gifts, or not the first time—he had picked up some antiques from the Vortex Sea Demon’s great mouth!
In general, things like this are usually used to give to high-level NPCs to increase friendliness in the future. I’ll gift it when I meet a high-level beauty. (To be continued.
