Chapter 841 - 794: Flame Angel Uriel
Although the only way is to send someone down to retrieve the treasure, Da Fei would rather let a master volunteer to venture into the hell than let his own beautiful and delicate sweetheart go down to pick it up! Who knows what level this treasure is when it’s just casually thrown around without even a guardian monster?
Da Fei quickly shook his head, "No, no! You can’t take this risk, I’d rather not have this treasure."
At this moment, the golden light of the treasure on the radar suddenly flashed again, with the glow from the riverbed penetrating through the smoke once more!
Elda furrowed her eyebrows, "I seem to hear someone calling!"
Elifel also said, "Yes, it should be this treasure calling!"
Da Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, "A treasure that can call out? A Divine Artifact?"
Elda said solemnly, "It should be a cry for help! This treasure should be an angel, an Angel Spirit!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped in shock. Another angel in distress? My gosh! I just want to quietly train my troops and return to the city, not trigger various awkward and entangled quest plots! But the problem is, the plot is right in front of me. If I back down, I’ll have even more sleepless nights over this!
Without any choice, Da Fei asked Elifel, "Do you think you can go down and retrieve it?"
Elifel said earnestly, "Sir, we angels are Holy Spirit beings without flesh, we won’t be maimed by lava. I also possess Advanced Flame Resistance, which reduces negative effects by 75%, and I am the most vigorous individual in the team, most likely to complete the task!"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Flame Resistance my foot, isn’t that just the difference between instant vaporization and instant being cooked to the bone? Who could revive you if you die at the riverbed?
Elifel continued, "More importantly, as a naval instructor, I’ve never been in the water myself, never experienced it firsthand. This might be why I struggle to comprehend Expert Level Navigation Skills! Moreover, as a Contract Angel, my lord need not worry about my safety."
Da Fei was taken aback to the point of speechless! What she said was so logical that I couldn’t argue! Fine, if a troop member can propose their perspective so logically, it indicates her intelligence has evolved to an impressive level. Her proactive request leaves me no reason to oppose, otherwise, it might impede a child’s growth!
Da Fei steeled his resolve and asked Elda and Essinger, "What do you all think?"
Essinger said solemnly, "I will accompany her with the Vajra Body for protection!"
Da Fei nodded, yes! The master’s skill is indeed formidable!
Elda, however, pulled out a bottle of wine, "Have a drink and cool down before going down!"
Damn! You’re an Angel Hero, can’t you offer any powerful aid?
Now, the ship slowly approached the section of the river where the treasure was located. Elifel flew high to the top of the Melt Cave, and then, like a water bird, she dived down at high speed—Bang!!! "-237!"
Fire waves surged! Fog steamed!
Just as she entered the water, the damage of over two hundred points immediately popped up above Elifel’s head as a red line jumped out! Da Fei’s jaw dropped in shock! This was with the Vajra Body and flame resistance; without them, an ordinary angel with three to four hundred health would be instantly killed in this lava!
At this moment, all of the new angel teammates who knew Healing Skills immediately cast all their healing spells on Elifel in the water, but the effect of the healing was rendered weak by the Flame Stream!
Soon, Elifel’s figure was submerged by the Flame Stream, and her health had passed halfway! Then, her health was down to only one-third!
Da Fei was dumbfounded! Even if Elifel could retrieve the treasure, the critical question was whether she could come back alive? At this moment, Da Fei lamented squandering all the potions earlier; otherwise, at this crucial moment, he might still pull off a miracle. In the end, life doesn’t have the most critical, only more critical situations; it doesn’t have the most painful, only more painful!
Quarter health left! In this scene, Da Fei’s mind was blank. In the end, the storyline in the depths of hell is absolutely not something current players can proceed with normally. This might really be a case of playing too recklessly ahead of time!
At this moment, Da Fei deeply regretted and couldn’t bear to watch anymore. It felt like even time was frozen at this moment! Stopped...
Huh?
After a long daze, Da Fei suddenly realized something was amiss! Frozen time my foot! It was Elifel’s health bar that hadn’t moved much, right?
Could it be a miracle? In ecstatic joy, Da Fei widened his eyes and stared intently at the riverbed, only to see a mass of red light ascending from it!
Da Fei, overwhelmed with joy, laughed maniacally, "A miracle! It’s a miracle!"
Elda, however, said solemnly, "It’s the Flame Barrier; being enveloped by the Flame Barrier prevents flame damage. I think I’ve figured out who this angel in distress is!"
Da Fei asked eagerly, "Who?"
Elda said seriously, "Among the seven great Creator Angels, the Uriel Family member who possesses the title of Divine Fire! Only they can master fire so exquisitely, and their family has always been sent by the divine to guard the Gate of Hell."
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched. Another Creator Angel family? Isn’t this just like the Remy in the China Region? All ancient angels waiting for rescue, but this Uriel is even more hidden and cunning!
—Boom! No sooner had the words been spoken than the river surface exploded with a fiery wave, and a fireball enveloped in a red light shield shot out!
Da Fei was once again stunned, was this fireball Elifel?
At this moment, Elda instantly transformed into her Angel Body and soared into the sky, catching the fireball mid-air and shouted, "Quick, heal her! Her body is about to be burned and dissipate!"
Da Fei urgently cried out, "Healing! Everyone, heal!"
As golden glimmers shone down on the fireball, Elifel’s health finally began to gradually recover, and the light shield enveloping the fireball slowly dimmed, eventually revealing Elifel’s humanoid figure within the fireball!
As long as she’s alright, as long as she’s alright! Da Fei was in tears!
At this moment, Elda, supporting Elifel, looked down and asked, "Are you an angel of the Uriel Family?"
Elifel’s hand glowed brightly, revealing a fiercely burning ring! Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched, such a badass ring must be a Divine Artifact, right? My ring slot just lacks a ring!
Only to hear the ring’s muffled voice say, "Yes, I am the ancient angel Uriel trapped here during the Divine Punishment War ten thousand years ago. At the moment of my defeat, I quietly transferred my soul into this treasured ring, then sunk the treasure to the bottom of the river. For ten thousand years, I have deeply hidden myself, absorbing the energy of flames, awaiting the right time. Warrior, your arrival is the moment I’ve been waiting for, let us kill the Demon Dragon in the Melt Cave and destroy my body! In doing so, the Demon Army will no longer be able to use my body to refine Hellfire Crystal Stones!"
—System Prompt: You have acquired the quest item "Uriel’s Possession Ring," the ancient angel Uriel invites you to destroy the Demon Flame Crystal Stone Factory, do you accept?
—Task Hint: Use this ring in the quest scene to summon the Flame Angel Uriel. Uriel is an angel proficient in fire, skilled in combat in lava regions.
Da Fei was stunned once again! Are you kidding me? The treasure I fished out with so much effort turns out to be a quest item? Does that mean I can only officially acquire this ring after completing his quest?
However, judging from how deeply hidden he’s been, he is probably the legendary hidden pass device. It means that players could defeat the boss without finding him, but the difficulty greatly decreases if he’s discovered.
So Da Fei asked, "I’ve scouted the Demon Dragon in the cave, and it looks extremely powerful, how confident are you in dealing with it?"
The ring grumbled, "If it were when I had my body, this kind of low-level being would have been slain with a single sword. But now, I have no body and must rely on warriors’ assistance to succeed."
Damn it! It’s indeed the eternal cliché of the game! Da Fei coughed and asked, "I painstakingly rescued you; do we really have to take the risk and challenge the Demon Dragon inside? Can’t we happily return home?"
The ring mumbled, "Warrior saved me, so I have no reason to put the warrior in a tough spot. The warrior decides whether to fight or not. If you choose not to fight, then please hand me over to the Guardian Angel Leader after returning to the city, and you will receive decent merits. However, for me personally, I still wish to return gloriously."
Elda sighed, "I understand your feelings, but we all have to face reality."
The ring sighed, "Perhaps, so everything will be up to the warrior’s arrangement."
Hey, hey! Aren’t you guys speaking in a conflicted tone just because you want to fight? Do you think I don’t want to too? With all those crystals, I’m tempted too! The problem is, aren’t you not like before, slaying with a single sword? I don’t need to risk dead soldiers for the European Union Zone anymore, this is a revival-proof hellhole!
Da Fei then sighed, "My main goal is to train the troops, I’ll see what the situation is like before making a decision."
The ring gently said, "I see! To rescue my angel, I fortified her body a bit, hoping it might contribute to the training."
Da Fei was astonished, "Fortified the body?"
The ring chuckled, "Yes, otherwise she wouldn’t have lasted. But she has a good foundation. Otherwise, I couldn’t strengthen her even if I wanted to. Well, this fortification also consumed a bit of my power, so I’ll rest for a while. Call me if you need anything, warrior."
As the ring’s glow dimmed, the light shield enveloping Elifel’s body also slowly vanished, and Elifel slowly opened her eyes. Then a system prompt sounded with a ding!
—System Prompt: Your Wisdom Angel Elifel has acquired the combined special skill, combining "Holy Body" and "Advanced Flame Resistance" to form a new special skill "Holy Flame Body", Life +300, Mana +300.
—Holy Flame Body: Immunity to curses, blindness, spirit, disease, high temperature scorching, and other negative states, flame magic resistance increased by 50%, absorbs 50 points of flame damage.
.....
Da Fei’s eyes widened in shock! Damn it! So unit special skills can also be combined into one!
