Chapter 755 - 718: The Final Battle of Despair Plain
Despair Plain. When Da Fei and Ror’s Angel Army appeared, Tachiusu and Tamilia expertly began to maneuver the dragon’s head to spray fire. In an instant, hundreds of Flesh Demons turned to scorched earth within the flames, and along with the dragon’s erratic eel-like movements, countless Demon troops were crushed into minced meat.
The disparity in size, speed, and strike range meant that even a single giant dragon wasn’t something the Demon Army could easily handle with numbers alone, especially with the full-scale assault from Divine Punishment City. The battle from the start was overwhelmingly smooth.
However, the fighting spirit of the Demon Army was equally determined. The Demon Heroes would never stand by and let the giant dragon’s spoils fall effortlessly into enemy hands. Moreover, as long as they could exhaust this giant dragon to death regardless of losses, the Angel Army would be too isolated to pose a threat, and the value of gaining the giant dragon’s spoils far exceeded the sacrifice of mere cannon fodder.
Currently, the Demon Army was employing a typical human-wave stamina-draining tactic, letting you kill and kill until your hands were sore!
So, even as the giant dragon continued to wriggle its way closer to Divine Punishment City, reaching the range of its siege machine, the Hell Army still refused to give up the siege.
Now, with piercing whistles in the air, Divine Punishment City’s siege machine began firing. Massive burning rocks crashed down like meteors on the crowded Blood Demon group, with countless burning chunks of flesh splattering and flying! Yet, as a wave of Flesh Demons fell, new ones immediately followed, with reinforcements continuously streaming from the direction of the Lava Blood Lake.
At this point, Da Fei felt extremely conflicted, wishing for the demons and giant dragon to annihilate each other, yet fearing the demons might really kill the giant dragon. If that happened, he wouldn’t get any piece of the Divine Artifact, and if the dragon died here on the plain, he’d likely get nothing, not even the dragon skin.
So, no matter what, the giant dragon had to make every effort to approach Divine Punishment City—to die best at the city gate, not on the mountain’s foot! The problem was the dragon wasn’t very obedient. Control over its general direction was possible, but getting it to climb the narrow uphill path leading to Divine Punishment City would be exceedingly difficult.
Unless the entire Demon Army was repelled, it was impossible to guarantee claiming credit for killing the giant dragon. Yet the demons stubbornly refused to let him make the kill and wouldn’t retreat!
The more Da Fei fought, the more exhausted he became, the more conflicted his thoughts were, causing a headache! He originally thought controlling the giant dragon meant the Divine Artifact was within reach, but to his utter shock, an unexpected issue occurred at the very last moment! Moreover, Da Fei never imagined new visitors arriving at Divine Punishment City, and all his current battles were being watched by the Bloodrose Leader—no, by the entire Bloodrose Studio.
...
At this time, looking at the wall’s big screen display, the Bloodrose Studio was abuzz with chatter.
"Strange, why is there a Space Gate in the square? The European Union Zone doesn’t have one, right? Can big sis go in?"
"Don’t say things like that, be careful—you might get teleported somewhere weird and not come back."
"Look, that little dwarf in the blacksmith shop is the hero who appeared in the city this morning, right?"
"That’s right, it’s him, meaning there was already an event in Divine Punishment City in our China Region this morning."
"Could this dwarf hero be another of Da Fei’s heroes?"
"No! Sub-Heroes taken in by players have a notification above their heads that says ’Deputy Officer of someone.’"
"Think about it—it’s impossible. With Da Fei’s lecherous personality, how could he recruit a male hero? That Flower Demon Hero, maybe. Speaking of which, where is that Flower Demon Hero?"
"Fighting! Look closely. There are two green dots on the back of that Fire-spitting Giant Crocodile—those are Hero Auras! It must be the Flower Demon Hero!"
Suddenly, the entire studio was in an uproar!
"This Flower Demon Hero can actually control such a massive beast? That’s incredible!"
"Hey, hey, Da Fei took a Nun Hero and a Banshee from us. We can’t let him off easily! Big sis, recruit those two heroes for us! They’re definitely Epic Level!"
"How could heroes in such a high-end scene be just Epic Level—they’re at least Legendary Level!"
"Blood Arrow Fragrance, Blood Arrow Linglong, don’t just stand there gawking. Go talk to the blacksmith shop and the neighboring shop."
"Got it."
Needless to say, the studio erupted in awe once more!
"Oh my God! The equipment in this blacksmith shop is amazing!"
"Angels! So all the recruitable species here are Angels, and now we know where the British Team’s special Angel Army comes from!"
"The British Team’s development is way too advanced! With Noah’s Ark and special Angel species, how can anyone stand up to them in future National Wars?"
While the team members chimed in with their discussions, big sis Zhou Qing and several guild higher-ups fell into deep thought. The Bloodrose Guild was probably the second power from the China Region to enter Divine Punishment City after Da Fei. Although this was very advanced relative to the China Region, compared to Da Fei and particularly the British Team, it fell far behind.
How should we develop? How to handle relations with Da Fei? Collaboration or confrontation? The key was, is investing in Divine Punishment City worth it? Was the European Union Zone’s current predicament due to the British Zone’s advanced development?
Just as she was contemplating, a clanging mechanical sound rang out from the top of Divine Punishment City, and a massive burning stone roared out, trailing long streaks of flame!
In utter shock, Zhou Qing looked up, astounded and slack-jawed, simultaneously causing the studio to explode with excitement again: "Oh my God! There’s actually such a large siege machine!"
"Yes, the European Union Zone’s Divine Punishment City doesn’t seem to have one!"
"The European Union Zone does! But it’s used by the Hell Race for sieges there!"
"Could it be that Da Fei has captured the Hell Race’s siege machine?"
"How’s that possible? Are you saying Da Fei single-handedly accomplished what the entire British Team couldn’t?"
"No matter whether it’s true or not, at least our China Region has one, meaning our region has no pressure on defense. See, we have demons just rushing up the mountain on our side, while the European Union Zone has already raised three or four machines down their mountain!"
At this moment, although Zhou Qing was forcing calm, an increasing number of impossibilities completely overturned her understanding of the game. She finally realized the extent of Da Fei’s high-level existence! Of course, perhaps what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg, so how should she deal with such a controversial figure?
Zhou Qing laughed a little, immediately formulating a plan in her mind.
...
At that moment, Da Fei was still battling fiercely in the Despair Plain. No, it wasn’t fierce at all—he was killing effortlessly without retaliation, but that was precisely the issue. It indicated the demons didn’t take his army seriously at all!
The giant dragon was already significantly weakened—likely nearing the end. Admittedly, since it got hit with a couple of Divine Suppressions at its lair, was tormented by Da Fei’s seed-planting, then besieged by the Demon Air Cavalry, dragged out by Tamilia for a long haul, and eventually encircled here by tens of thousands of Demon Army, its life could only be described as divine punishment, and it was about time to end its suffering.
But the problem was, although Tamilia and Tachiusu were trying hard, they still couldn’t control the dragon to charge up Divine Punishment City’s upper mountain staircase, let alone the dragon being driven to extreme frenzy from internal and external assaults, making such micro-control impossible.
This meant the dragon skin was probably not going to be his, but no matter what, the dragon must be finished off by Da Fei’s hand personally! Yet landing the final blow is absolutely a God-level skill. Could he snatch the final blow from hundreds of Flesh Demons and explosive minions led by heroes?
Looking at the Divine Punishment City just before him, Da Fei, hot with anxiety, suddenly remembered something—the city had a boundary barrier! During his last test, the barrier advanced straight to the Despair Plain’s Demon Sealing Array, meaning his current position could be covered by the barrier, no, it could entirely envelop the giant dragon and tens of thousands of Demon Army, even the heroes!
Now was the perfect opportunity to strike, so if not now, when should the barrier be activated?
Overjoyed, Da Fei hurriedly flew to the busy Ror’s side in battle: "Miss Ror, please activate Divine Punishment City’s barrier. The main enemy forces are all within the barrier’s scope, so it’s a great opportunity to capture them all!"
Ror was taken aback: "That’s right! I was too occupied with killing enemies! The Sea Soul Staff from the warriors contributed so much energy, this barrier’s strength is definitely extraordinary, but Your Excellency, once the barrier is used, the consumed energy will decrease your ’Energy Collection’ mission reward. Are you certain?"
How could a meager mission reward compare to the giant dragon’s Divine Artifact reward? Also, if he could eliminate this group of Demon Army, his ’Harass the Demon Army’ mission would make a huge leap forward—it was a no-brainer!
Da Fei immediately said, "Please, Miss Ror, quickly release the barrier!"
Ror smiled, "Very well, as expected of Your Excellency!" Then she transformed into a golden light rushing skyward and disappeared. At this moment, the golden light shield over Divine Punishment City suddenly brightened, and then it rapidly expanded like blowing a bubble toward the mountain’s base.
This was the effect Da Fei wanted! He could already imagine how severely tormented the tens of thousands of Flesh Demons would be within such a powerful barrier—how could they contest him for the dragon? Ha ha, wah ha ha ha!
Faced with such a sudden transformation, the Demon Army still showed no sign of retreating because they couldn’t escape! At this moment, several Demon Heroes immediately reacted, entering different Sealing Arrays surrounding Divine Punishment City and began casting spells, making the Array glow intensely red!
Da Fei was bewildered. What’s this?
At this instant, a golden light descended from the sky, and Ror instantly returned to Da Fei’s side, overjoyed: "Your Excellency, the enemy heroes chose to use the Sealing Array to counter our army’s barrier, which means they’re trapped, and they would never expect that our army’s barrier strength is now beyond normal, far from their easy opposition, providing us a golden opportunity to annihilate the enemy entirely!"
Da Fei’s excitement was sudden: "Annihilation!?"
As Ror’s words trailed off, the golden light shield’s color instantly condensed, emanating a metallic-like glow while the expanding speed suddenly accelerated, instantly engulfing Despair Plain where Da Fei stood. Countless demons let out earth-shattering wails, and steam erupting from their bodies formed enormous smoke clouds, obstructing Da Fei’s view!
This was the power of the barrier!
