Chapter 777 - 738: Redemption of Fallen Angels
Host: "Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is now in its 15th minute. The Swedish Gods Dusk Team’s Thor’s Hand has successfully defeated the Canadian amateur player Lei Ying, and our China Region’s Shadow Dragon player has also successfully defeated the Indian Zone player Yaksha King, both advancing to the top 4. Let’s warmly congratulate the Shadow Dragon of the China Region for such an excellent performance, and also congratulate the Dragon Slayer Guild."
"Next up, the match between Da Fei and the South Korean player has entered its final stage. This match has been quite unique, as Da Fei has not shown up from the beginning, while the Korean player is exhausted from healing. Now, both his mana and the stamina of his troops are depleted, leaving no chance of recovery."
Shenlan sighed with a smile: "It’s a pity; the Korean player killed the BOSS. If he could hold on until the match ended, he could have won by points. The problem is, he has too many troops, which drains too much mana for healing. In this situation, having more troops becomes a burden."
The host chuckled: "It seems that in harsh environments, high-health and high-stamina high-level soldiers have a survival advantage."
Shenlan sighed: "We can only say Da Fei was lucky to encounter such a favorable environment. It’s hard to say how far Da Fei can go. If Da Fei continues to stay in the European Union Zone with just this strength, none of the other three competitors will be easy for him to handle, especially the Swedish player."
Host: "Indeed, in the last match, the Swedish player didn’t even deploy their team’s purchased angels and still easily defeated the Canadian amateur player, showcasing the strength of a professional player. But in the upcoming semi-finals, they will definitely deploy angels, and no matter who they face, it will be a tough battle."
Shenlan suddenly laughed: "Oh! The Korean player fell down, roasted to death!"
Host laughed: "Congratulations, our China Region’s Da Fei has won the match, easily advancing to the top 4. We also congratulate our China Team for achieving such excellent results in the first international competition! The next semi-final will begin at 6 PM. Now it’s commercial time, so viewers, please have your dinner early and stay tuned..."
Shenlan laughed: "Dinner, huh? I’m going outside to order some Korean barbecue. Host, want some?"
Host laughed: "Are you sure you’re not advertising for Koreans?"
Shenlan laughed heartily: "You saw through such a subtle ad, so I might as well order some kimchi too!"
...
—System Prompt: Congratulations! You have finished the match and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The next match will start at 6 PM Beijing Time. Please be aware of the match time...
Won! The outcome of this battle was already determined from the start, nothing to be really happy about. Instead, Da Fei felt even more conflicted because of this victory!
Maybe his luck has run out. After killing the first Chaos Blood Flesh Demon, several subsequent kills didn’t drop any Chaos Essence, and the next match is only 45 minutes away!
What can be done in 45 minutes? Even if luck peaked and a Chaos Essence dropped every minute, that would only mean 45 more angels, and facing an opponent with at least 3,000 low-level soldiers still isn’t looking good, unless betting everything on it and sending the Angel Army to behead the opponent’s commander!
But the Angels don’t have the Human Race’s level 4 Griffin’s special diving attack against ground targets, and they can’t be considered as real air force, just flying land troops. They can’t just land on the opponent’s commander’s head like Little Fei can. Ultimately, they still have to land and fight through the enemy formation from the outside, and by then, he himself would be exposed like a lone commander under a rain of arrows, looking at it, it’s more like he’d be shot into a porcupine, right?
In the end, Griffin’s dive assassination is a normal tactic, but the Angels can’t do it! And it’s easy to defend against flying soldiers’ assassination, just keep one’s flying soldiers hovering over the commander to block. As long as there aren’t special soldiers like Hell Demon Wolf King that can fixate troops with a roar, there’s no big threat.
However, if his Angel Army were the Blazing Angels recruited by the British, capable of long-range explosive spear throws, they might be able to harass and outmaneuver the opponent. The problem is, he didn’t recruit Blazing Angels, and Blazing Angels’ spear throws consume crystals, and he doesn’t have any crystals on hand.
So, Da Fei is very conflicted! If he had just lost to the Koreans earlier, he could have peacefully farmed essences and angels here, earning Divine Artifacts from European Union players to make a big return. But the problem is, he’s in the semi-finals now! If he can survive this semi-final, the final is at 4 AM tomorrow, and he can grind here all night to possibly create a miracle. The problem is, there’s no time!
Unless he tries his luck, hoping to encounter hell or swamp terrain? That’s too unreliable! Or maybe, is this really as far as he can go?
Just as Da Fei’s mind was adrift, another Chaos Blood Flesh Demon fell under Da Fei’s Army’s attack.
—System Prompt: You killed a Chaos Blood Flesh Demon, earning 10,000 experience points and 3 Demon Essences.
No! Still no Chaos Essence! Just another 3 ordinary Demon Essences. How many has he killed? This Chaos Essence drop rate can’t be this lousy!
Can’t keep being tormented like this, it’s decided, go for something big!
And what is something big? There’s no need to ask, the only thing Da Fei can do now is replicate the successful experience of the China Region, which is not Dragon Slaying, but rescuing the captured Thunder Angel!
But the European Union Zone may not have Thunder Angels, nor may there be rescue missions, but the Lava Blood Pools that constantly produce Flesh Demons must exist, so there must be a Fallen Angel chained at the bottom of the blood pool just like in the China Region when the tide recedes!
According to the normal plot process, those Fallen Angels are definitely tasks for players to kill. Very well, the tasks that I didn’t have time to complete in the China Region will be completed in the European Union Zone.
Da Fei’s troops stopped entangling with the Flesh Demons and took off again, entering a Stealth State as they flew deeper into the Despair Plain. And sure enough, just like in the China Region, this area was densely covered with boiling Blood Lakes, with countless Flesh Demons emerging from these waters.
Soon, Da Fei saw a certain Blood Lake beginning to ebb, and the vaguely visible shape of a massive beast chained at the lake bottom appeared, a hostile red dot on the radar.
It’s it! However, Da Fei also knows that the guards at this Blood Lake are strong; last time, they suddenly emerged with hundreds of Flying Demons chasing after rescuing a Thunder Angel, so with just this little force, trying to kill forcefully is clearly unrealistic.
What to do? Under normal circumstances, such tasks would probably require players to amass a large amount of troops to slowly push forward, right? But the tasks I’ve finished have never been normal!
Decided, let’s divert the tiger from the mountain! Since Elifel is a BOSS-level troop, she can mount an Independent Expedition, and with my Blood Eagle present to command her remotely as if I’m there, let her and the Blood Eagle lure away the guards, and the Blood Eagle’s slowing aura can help her circle around the pursuers. Then my main force will seize the opportunity to behead the Fallen Angel!
Yes, it’s the only way. Then let’s do it.
Now, Da Fei and the main Angel team are lurking in the red cloud in the sky, waiting. Then Elifel suddenly dives down from the clouds, the ear-piercing alarm sounded as expected, and then with a spatial ripple, hundreds of Flying Demons wielding giant scythes instantly appeared out of thin air!
Good timing! Da Fei immediately commanded Elifel to escape, and the Flying Demons were in hot pursuit, quickly leaving the Blood Lake far behind! In any case, this time, we’re not going to carelessly fly over the Lava Lake.
While the Flying Demons were drawn away, Da Fei’s Army hiding in the clouds quietly descended to attack the chained giant monster at the lake bottom!
—Roar!!! A heartrending wail echoed from the lake bottom, as Da Fei’s Army emerged from Stealth State, unleashing a torrent of damage in an instant!
Simultaneously, dense Blood Maggots flew out from the holes at the lake bottom, swarming towards Da Fei and Da Fei’s Army, then bursts of firelight and explosions boomed like a series of firecrackers!
No worries, with the Divine Artifact Shield in hand, and Divine Artifact Boots on foot, I’ve got Defense and Recovery ready, I’m utterly unfazed by the self-destructing bugs, and with one strike I took away 4000 health from the Fallen Angel, even if it had 40,000 health, how long could it last against me for a few seconds?
At that moment, the monster suddenly spoke: "You must be... the legendary Holy Temple Warrior... Kill me quickly... Redeem me!"
—System Prompt: You have received the quest "Redemption of Fallen Angels"! Current Fallen Angels redeemed: 0.
—Task Hint: Your heroic deeds have caused a stir among the enemies, and your appearance has reignited the hope of redemption in the Fallen Angels; for each Fallen Angel you kill, you will gain the following of a Fallen Angel Spirit. Return to the Divine Punishment City, where the Angel Leader can judge these Fallen Angel Spirits to grant them rebirth!
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched in surprise! It’s my first time here, and he actually recognizes me? That’s right, I have world reputation, so even red-named enemies might change the usual plot to give me a task!
Anyway, there must be a task! Da Fei exclaimed with joy: "Okay, I’m here to save you, rest assured and go in peace!"
The Fallen Angel gritted its teeth: "In 10 seconds, the guards will reappear, Warrior... Quick!"
Racing against time! At this moment, Da Fei only regrets not having enough troops, and only regrets that Attack Speed and Attack are still insufficient!
...
At this moment, the Swedish Gods Dusk Team was also engaged in the toughest part of their negotiation with the UK, Germany, and France.
Indeed, the Swedish Gods Dusk Team hoped that the three countries, England, France, Germany, could lend them Angels for the semifinals and final battle. Of course, if borrowing soldiers, a cash deposit and all those additional terms would be inevitable, so overall, negotiating between partners who are also rivals is really frustrating.
In the middle of this frustration, the players in the city suddenly burst into exclamations: "Da Fei has appeared!"
