Chapter 780 - 741: Divine Arts: Evil Formation
Da Fei’s Army, making a comeback, reached the Lava Blood Lake once again. After the successful battle earlier, the defense force of the Lava Blood Lake had significantly increased, with flying demons patrolling everywhere.
Da Fei frowned, thinking he could easily harvest enemies due to his enhanced power, but didn’t expect the defense to get stronger! As Ror had mentioned before, penetrating deep into enemy lines demands seizing the moment, or facing greater difficulties once they are prepared.
This time, success was a must. Failure to seize the chance meant facing the enemy’s heroic troops during the next retreat, with no opportunity left for his small force.
Now, another blood lake began to ebb, with a large number of Demon Race troops gathered around the lake shores and in the sky, numbering no less than a thousand. Da Fei was in a bind as this was definitely not a force to be attacked head-on! Continue sending Elifel to lure them? Could it even work this time? The Demon Army wouldn’t fall for such tricks again, would they?
The key was Elda’s ability. Could she quell everything with a wave of Divine Punishment? With such an impressive presence, she shouldn’t be any weaker than Tachiusu, who commanded the whole scene with grand moves.
Filled with anticipation, Da Fei turned to ask, "Queen Elda, what do you think of our current situation?"
Elda lazily extended three fingers, "Firstly, don’t call me Queen anymore. Secondly, handle it yourself. Thirdly, I’ll let you know once I’ve thought of something..."
Oh come on! Can’t she make things easier for me? My wives would proactively plot out the cannon-dragon-slaying plans! At the end of the day, she’s not a wife after all.
Left with no choice, Da Fei asked Roger Tal, "What do you think?"
With a fierce expression, Roger Tal shook his oversized greatsword, saying, "Lord City Lord, Roger Tal is ready to battle at any time; I will fight ten!"
Damn! I asked what you thought, and you want to fight a thousand? But still, one must admit, his longsword boasts both long weapon and heavy weapon special skills, combined with a basic attack speed of 15 points. My Divine Artifact Dragon King’s Boots increase attack speed by 10%, the A-level Speed Cloak boosts it by 10%, and the tournament Corpse Demon Plague achievement adds 5%, making it 18.75!
When coupled with my Wind God’s Strike gloves adding +3, and the Captain’s Sword adding +1, it totals 22.75! This means while he’s swinging twice, low-level troops barely have the chance to attack. Together with his long weapon advantage, he could slice from a distance. Who dares to let him unleash his 100-150 basic damage? He’s a sheer harvester and might just sweep through a thousand low-level troops single-handedly!
But, the adversaries here are no mere foot soldiers; they’re demons matching level-7 troops. Rigorous combat would certainly fail, especially with their alarm reinforcements.
Suddenly, Da Fei recalled something, asking again, "Roger Tal, every time my troops appear, it seems to trigger the enemy alarm. Where is their alarm system located?"
Roger Tal suddenly realized, "Ah, of course, I was imprisoned for ten thousand years, so I know where it is! If our forces destroy the enemy’s alarm array, they won’t be able to send reinforcements. However, our team must stealthily infiltrate, or else we will trigger the alarm too!"
Hooray! It takes someone knowledgeable within to understand how to break the code! And Stealth is my forte, after all. If even my Stealth gets detected, then who in the universe could accomplish this mission?
Da Fei cheered, "Excellent! While the enemy’s main force is guarding the ebbing blood lake, we’ll clear out these surrounding weakly defended blood lake alarm systems one by one, and then have the final showdown with these guards!"
Roger Tal, also pumped, exclaimed, "I’ll lead the way, Lord City Lord, please follow!"
.....
Now, under Roger Tal’s guidance, Da Fei’s team quietly landed on the shore of a blood lake. With a wave of Roger Tal’s hand, a faint red light array emerged on the ground.
Before the array could fully form, Roger Tal swung his longsword straight into the core of the array. The glow flickered and subsided, as if an old fluorescent light extinguished!
Roger Tal excitedly announced, "There are two more in this lake!"
Whoa, that was simple! At this rate, would ordinary players even be able to detect such arrays? Only someone like Roger Tal, an NPC, could spot them, right? He’s effectively a mission-critical NPC! Damn, I played the right card!
Da Fei couldn’t help but exclaim with excitement, "Great, let’s remove every last nail!"
.....
Minute by minute, Da Fei’s stealth team skillfully evaded patrolling forces, moving swiftly from one lake to another, like a cunning thief tampering with power switches, systematically dismantling the alarm arrays.
Finally, after circling the grounds, Da Fei destroyed all the arrays. The next step was the decisive battle with nearly a thousand patrolling guards, and then waiting for each lake to ebb and rescue the captives. By this time, less than 20 minutes remained before the next competition round, and given the ebb speed of the Blood Lake, there was no time left to gather forces.
Da Fei shook his head and sighed. No time? So be it. My grand mission is at such a critical juncture, with beautiful Angel Heroes and Angel citizens beckoning to me. Who even cares about the competition anymore? The prize money is going to be donated; I already have the reputation, and I’ve grown indifferent.
Just then, Roger Tal said sternly: "Lord City Lord, there are 12 Fallen Angels imprisoned. The Abyss Blood Demon King has left a mark of slavery on their souls. Once rescued, the Abyss Blood Demon King at the bottom of the Blood Lake will surely be released. Please prepare for it."
Da Fei was shocked: "You’re saying there’s an Abyss Blood Demon King at the bottom of this blood lake? Is it powerful?"
Roger Tal gravely nodded, "Very powerful, of Demon God-level strength, capable of enslaving 13 Ancient Angels, including myself. Even relying on the defense of Divine Punishment City, it’d be a formidable task for us!"
Da Fei was dumbfounded, realizing that destroying the enemy’s Flesh Demon bases wouldn’t solve the issue but rather create more trouble? Tsk! As colossal trouble approaches, let the European Union top players face it; I will focus on rescuing people.
Da Fei firmly nodded, "Alright, now that all the alarm systems are dismantled, it’s time for the decisive battle with the patrolling guards. We have only a dozen men, while their numbers are a hundredfold. We must be prepared for—escaping at any moment!"
"—Pfft!" Just then, Elda giggled, "Warrior, I admire your patience and strategy. Now left with these small fry, even if they number in the hundreds, what can they do? It’s time for a good fight!"
With that, she soared skyward, diving directly into the dense mass of patrolling Demon soldiers. Da Fei was so shocked that his jaw dropped! No way! She’s really taking on a thousand enemies?
Indeed, even I think she can take a thousand; otherwise, how does she live up to the title of Queen?
Exhilarated, Da Fei waved his hand, "All troops, follow!"
At that moment, swarms of flying demons rushed toward Elda. Her body enveloped in black light, she suddenly accelerated into the demon flock, even Da Fei, filled with blind trust in Elda, broke into a cold sweat. What was she doing exactly!?
At that moment, a black light exploded within the demon swarm. All the flying demons shuddered, and the screen filled with damage data cascading down!
—System Prompt: Your team Hero Elda has cast the Divine Art "Evil Formation," reducing the Life Limit of all enemies within the formation by 30%-75%, with doubled effect on dark creatures! This Divine Art can only be used once per month.
In that instant, Da Fei stood awestruck! Divine Arts! The legendary monthly super skill! A hero capable of Divine Arts truly lives up to being an Angel Hero! I haven’t misjudged you, haha, wa-hahahaha!
Now, there’s nothing more to say, with their enemies’ life limits reduced to measly levels, there’s little difference between striking down 1000 or 100!
Overjoyed, Da Fei waved his hand, "Finish them all!"
