Chapter 831 - 784: Vice Hero Da Fei vs Dragon Slayer
Although the Demigod Crow wasn’t slain to drop a Divine Artifact, its heavy injury means a loss of control over the Mercury Mine, thus achieving the primary objective of Dragon Slayer’s occupation.
But just occupying without exploitation, or failing to transport after exploitation, amounts to nothing, hence the objectives following Dragon Slayer are exceedingly arduous. First, after all this time, it’s necessary to examine what the space on the other side of Mercury Lake looks like and where it leads.
Thus, after a brief rest, several team members once again entered the passage to reach the opposite Mercury Lake space, while Ma Yinglong took a sip of hot coffee to soothe his indignant loss over the Divine Artifact.
At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center fell silent; Ma Yinglong couldn’t help but look up at the big screen in astonishment—Ah poof!!! A mouthful of hot coffee sprayed out!
In that instant, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center erupted: "What’s going on! So many heroes and troops!"
"Oh my God, an Ogre Hero! First time seeing it!"
At this moment, in front of the passage, on the shore of Mercury Lake, a red Demon Child Sea stretched out, with dozens of tall, silver-black Tree Spirits aligned like a city wall behind the Demon Child. An equally tall Ogre Hero stood holding a giant axe at the front of the formation, and behind the Tree Spirit wall floated over a hundred units that looked like Flower Demons but were clearly not, along with various indistinct units.
Among the crowd were the glaring red names "Vice Hero Alicia of Da Fei," "Vice Hero Serbia of Da Fei," "Vice Hero Alina of Da Fei," and "Vice Hero Deirdre of Da Fei," nearly blinding everyone in the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center!
The Dragon Slayer Command Center exploded once more: "It’s Da Fei! It’s Da Fei’s heroes and troops!"
Boom!!! The ground shook with a rumble as the Tree Spirit formation, like a towering wall, began to press forward to the entrance of the passage!
Lei Huolong panicked: "Retreat! Fall back to the entrance and establish defenses! Initiate emergency protocol No.1!"
Bam! Ma Yinglong slammed his coffee cup, shouting angrily: "Da Fei, you’re pushing it too far!"
Ma Yinglong hurriedly opened his friend list, only to find Da Fei’s name grayed out, unable to connect. Only then did Ma Yinglong realize, Da Fei was still in the European Union Zone and hadn’t returned! Which means, these are his remaining Vice Heroes! And just his Vice Heroes can act so audaciously?
At this moment, Lei Huolong said: "Boss, don’t worry. We’ve prepared emergency protocols to deal with the NPC Kingdom’s forces. Not to mention, no matter how many of Da Fei’s irregular tavern heroes there are, they can’t match Siriel. They’re no different from wild monsters! A single Fireball will wipe them out. Just watch how we play them to death!"
Ma Yinglong finally regained his composure, coldly saying: "Fine then, let’s take this chance to deal with Da Fei. It’s not that I’m disrespecting him; it’s his NPC heroes who are overconfident, not my fault!"
Now, Lei Huolong hurried to the magma pool where Siriel rested, shouting: "Mentor! The Elf Kingdom is attacking! Please intervene!"
Siriel chuckled darkly: "The Elf Kingdom couldn’t handle a Demigod, but they’ll handle me? I’m curious to see!"
Even NPCs are so confident, which somewhat reassured Ma Yinglong. However, the disparity in troop and hero numbers on both sides couldn’t be underestimated. All in all, this was a fierce battle requiring a full effort.
Now, Lei Huolong led over a dozen team members, along with fewer than a hundred Fire Element Army members, standing ready at the entrance of the passage.
Against the Elf Kingdom’s expedition, Dragon Slayer prepared a response: utilizing the countless Magma Pools within the Lava Space for a strategic retreat, conducting guerrilla warfare. Lei Huolong’s team and the Fire Element Army possess Flame Demon Bodies, so as long as they jump into a Magma Pool, the enemy’s melee forces will be helpless.
Moreover, Lei Huolong’s team gains speed and life recovery bonuses within the Lava Space. Meanwhile, Elf units’ travel speed here decreases by 50%, and prolonged stay results in continuous decline in life and stamina. Overall, professional players take advantage of their absolute home turf to bait and trick the computer, not to mention the absolute main force, Siriel.
The Space Gate of the passage experienced intense fluctuations, signaling Da Fei’s irregular army charging through! At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was tense with solemnity!
——Huh!!! With a mighty roar, a towering Ogre Hero, akin to a mountain of flesh, led a massive Demon Child Sea charging from the passage door!
Against the Hell Race, the mana-absorbing Demon Child Sea must first be cleared! The enemy using Demon Child cannon fodder at the front serves the needs of both sides.
"Attack!" At Lei Huolong’s order, with nerves taut with tension, a dozen team members simultaneously cast Fireball Technique. A dozen huge fireballs, trailing blazing tails, whooshed out—Boom Boom Boom!!! The entire entrance turned into a sea of fire, flashing with countless beams of light, as countless "Illusion Dispelled" notifications exploded!
It turned out to be an illusion? At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was in shock, Ma Yinglong’s jaw dropping to the ground!
Never before had they seen illusions that can shout loudly! Moreover, everyone was highly on edge, facing the unit they were most eager to fight. Even professional players got caught! At this moment, Dragon Slayer Guild realized something was amiss.
Sure enough, the passage door flashed with light, followed by another mighty roar. A burly Ogre Hero led a massive Demon Child Sea surging out; these were the genuine troops, emitting eerie white light and charging at an inconceivable speed!
Facing these light effects that even professional players couldn’t distinguish, Lei Huolong loudly called: "Initiate emergency protocol No.2!"
In an instant, all team members scattered, retreating to the Magma Pools.
At this moment, a massive fireball whistled from the rear; it was Siriel’s fireball! At this moment, all the team members who turned to flee looked back, and the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center eagerly anticipated the effect of this shot — after all, not everyone fully knew the extent of Siriel’s power.
— Boom!!! A sea of flames instantly engulfed the Demon Child Sea and the leading Ogre Hero, countless -9 damage numbers erupted over each Demon Child’s head, and the white light surrounding them dissipated in the flames.
Ma Yinglong’s eyebrow twitched! The Demon Child’s basic blood volume is only 5 points, now if -9 damage doesn’t kill them, it means this white light at least added 4 points of health to the Demon Child! That is, their life is doubled. Based on the early game, if Da Fei has 3000 Demon Children, then this shot delivered 27,000 damage, which showcases the power of Siriel’s fireball!
But it’s not over!
— Boom! In the sea of fire, another flash of flames appeared, and the words "-1 Burn Damage" once again leapt over all the Demon Children’s heads!
Indeed, this is the firepower of the Flame Demon, which continuously adds flame damage effects based on regular magic damage. When encountering enemies with weak attributes, the total sustained damage can even exceed the damage of the fireball spell itself! In other words, the Ash Envoy profession of the Flame Demon clan not only increases flame magic power with level but also enhances various flame additional effects. The Flame Demons are true Flame Masters.
Now, even though these Demon Children have lost 10 points of health and haven’t fallen, it’s a bit unexpected for the Dragon Slayer Guild, but compared to Da Fei’s terrifying blood boost for low-level soldiers in the competition, this situation isn’t much. Anyway, they won’t run far before they all collapse together, and everyone has prepared to capture the spectacular moment with a screenshot.
And at this moment, a black light covered the group of Demon Children, and over all their heads, the words "+2 Dark Healing" appeared simultaneously.
There’s healing! The enemy’s hero has followed up timely!
Sure enough, with another ripple at the portal, Vice Hero Da Fei and the tavern hero group, along with suspected Flower Demon troops, appeared with a flourish.
Siriel’s maniacal laughter echoed through the space: "Welcome, kids!"
At this moment, an enchanting and loud voice also echoed through the space: "Teacher, long time no see?"
Teacher? Triggered a plot? The entire command center was dumbfounded!
Only to hear Siriel speak in a deep voice: "Deirdre, so it was you, the traitor!"
Indeed the plot was triggered! The Dragon Slayer Command Center was in an uproar. Everyone who participated in the last Pool of Radiance battle knew the relationship between this Banshee and Siriel, who was then serving as an Execution Officer, and an ominous feeling immediately filled everyone’s hearts.
Only to hear the Banshee laugh out loud: "Did the teacher not also betray?"
Siriel sneered: "Didn’t you cause it? Now it’s just right, let me end you!"
The Banshee laughed heartily: "Teacher, I don’t see you as someone obsessed with hatred? In your current situation, is there any need to continue fighting?"
Siriel roared with laughter: "Whether there’s a need to fight is determined by power, win against me, and we’ll talk nonsense!"
As he spoke, a massive red array appeared in the sky, and just then, a flash of magic light crashed and scattered the array!
— System Prompt: Enemy army Da Fei’s Vice Hero Elena cast a magic counter, stopping Siriel’s spell!
The Dragon Slayer Guild was aghast! To be able to so effortlessly prevent Siriel from casting spells, this means Elena’s magic knowledge is not much different from Siriel’s! Is this the mysterious Vice Hero Da Fei never let out during competitions?
At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Guild finally understood why Da Fei didn’t let this Vice Hero make a move, not just to show off, but for fear that if she acted, she would frighten all the players worldwide! With her skill nearing Siriel’s, casually casting a fireball wouldn’t instantly kill people; why even compete then?
In other words, just this one Vice Hero of Da Fei might be able to offset a lot of Siriel’s advantages, forcing Ma Yinglong to prepare for the worst.
And Siriel, after a moment of shock, laughed loudly: "Fool, do you know the great price of countering? How many times can you counter me?"
As he spoke, underneath Da Fei’s army, a massive red array suddenly appeared, and just then, another magic light flashed, and the array scattered once more!
— System Prompt: Enemy army Da Fei’s Vice Hero Selvia cast a magic counter, stopping Siriel’s spell!
At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was stupefied! Since when did Da Fei’s Nun Hero possess the power to contend with a hero of Siriel’s level?
