Chapter 915 - 864: Thunderstorm Tempest and Singing Siren Sea Demon
Now, Da Fei’s fleet began to assemble quickly, the ships tied tightly together with ropes, and a floating island at sea was about to be born.
Thus, Da Fei got a close look at Blood Hook Yarosso, a tall, thin Pirate Hero with a fierce and cold expression. Sure enough, one look and you could tell he’s not a good person, more stylish than any Pirate Hero encountered in the Pirate Island tavern. His refusal to surrender was not only due to his hero status and personality, but probably also related to the large fleet he leads.
Once he surrendered, it meant the player would gain 11 large ships, which is like winning the jackpot in the game, and the system would never allow such a thing. And if he lost these 11 large ships, then his surrender would be worthless. In reality, Da Fei’s interest lies in these 11 large ships. Otherwise, why would Da Fei be interested in a male hero?
Therefore, Da Fei changed his strategy; it didn’t matter if he didn’t surrender, maintaining a cooperative relationship was enough. After all, even the Angel Brother and Ghost Dragon King, who seemed like arch-enemies, could cooperate. How could I, the world’s top player, have a mindset lower than an NPC?
Thus, Da Fei went to the ship’s side and called out to him: "Yarosso, I know you’re unwilling and unconvinced about losing. If it weren’t for the Divine Artifact, if it weren’t for the convenience of using the Divine Artifact in Frostwind Canyon, you definitely wouldn’t have lost, so I won’t mention surrendering. Let’s cooperate instead. I have some territory here that needs someone to help develop and guard. How about you join?"
Yarosso sneered proudly: "I can die and be a hero again, why should I cooperate with you?"
Oh my god! Even NPCs know they are immortal heroes, so arrogant and willful!
Catherine laughed loudly: "Yarosso, if we talk about seniority among pirates, you are from my father’s generation. Even if you can’t become a leader, you shouldn’t lose to a fallen small pirate like me, right? Losing such a huge fleet would be a tremendous loss even for a kingdom. Do you think you have the face to go back? Who will let you lead troops after this?"
Yarosso’s expression indeed changed!
Da Fei immediately understood! Indeed, famous pirates are different from those shameless lowlifes at the bottom. People may not fear death, but they do care about their reputation! That makes it easier to talk.
Da Fei smiled: "Mr. Yarosso, how about this? See my territory first before saying anything more. If you can make it, return gloriously, and no one would dare to sneer at you."
Yarosso’s eyebrows twitched: "I can still go back?"
Da Fei smiled: "Of course! But I am confident, once you cooperate with me, your vision will naturally broaden, your standards will rise, and you won’t feel like keeping company with those people before."
Yarosso sneered coldly: "You talk as if your territory is the Gold and Silver Island; the Dead Sea is no place for the living, what good territory could there be."
Da Fei laughed loudly: "Even in the desert, there are oases, and in the Nether Sea, there’s paradise! The place we’re heading to is the Nether Sea Paradise!"
Yarosso snorted coldly: "Anyone can brag, let’s get past our current situation first!"
Da Fei nodded: "Indeed, let’s get past the current situation first!"
At this moment, the sky and sea were dark, with violent winds howling and waves rolling. Da Fei’s Blood Eagle hovered over the sea, with countless fish heads surfacing, screaming sharply at the sky.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched wildly; could these unknown fish heads stir up such a commotion? This unending array is indeed not to be underestimated! However, all the Sea Monster sieges encountered since I arrived in the Nether Sea were led by a giant Sea Monster, there must be a leader among these Sea Monsters!
Finally, the Blood Eagle found something new. At the back of the fleet’s Sea Monster swarm, in the depths of the mist, atop a giant bone fish surfacing from the sea, sat a gray Mermaid crookedly!
No mistake, it’s a gray Mermaid! Gray hair, deathly gray skin, exuding white steaming Death Energy, forming a stark contrast to the golden radiance of the Mermaid Saint seen before! Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, a Zombie Mermaid? A Zombie Sea Demon?
This must be the BOSS behind the scenes. As long as she’s taken down, even if it doesn’t break the stalemate, it can significantly ease the pressure from the storm. But the giant Bone Fish under her is probably not smaller than the Flying, capturing it rashly might have the Flying overturned!
Wait! Da Fei suddenly realized she also had a pair of bird wings on her back, what is this? Da Fei hurriedly flew the Blood Eagle lower for a closer look, and as the Blood Eagle approached, this Zombie Mermaid along with the Bone Fish suddenly disappeared!
Da Fei was shocked again! Teleportation? Illusion? It can’t be an illusion, can it? I’ve truly encountered an expert now!
Da Fei casually asked the busy Yarosso in front of him: "Captain Blood Hook, I saw a gray Mermaid with a pair of bird wings on her back, do you know what Sea Monster this is?"
Yarosso was suddenly startled: "Where did you see it?"
Haha, my methods are earth-shattering, are you scared?
But before Da Fei could speak, Yarosso immediately said: "That’s a Siren Sea Demon! Not only capable of summoning storms, their songs can make sailors jump into the sea!"
After which Yarosso immediately shouted: "Brothers, we’ve encountered the legendary Siren Sea Demon! As soon as you’re done with your work, tie yourselves to the mast, or any place that can tie people! Remember, don’t tie yourselves too tightly; you still need your limbs free to fend them off if they board!"
Da Fei was suddenly shocked: "Tying people? Is it that exaggerated?"
Yarosso coldly replied: "Don’t blame me for not warning you, the Siren Sea Demon’s songs affect anyone not immune to Spirit Magic! If it’s a powerful Siren, even heroes may not escape!"
Da Fei was shocked on the spot! Indeed, mentioning the Sirens, it’s said that the hero Odyssey from Greek mythology had to tie himself to the mast to escape. Meaning, it’s an attack with storm plus song bombardment, followed by forced boarding! High-end! Unprecedentedly high-end!
At this moment, Da Fei’s two contract angels, Nerxia and Anvil, stepped forward and said, "Sir, our Angel Army is not afraid of any song enchantment. Let us resist the sea monster’s attack while the other troops return to the cabin to avoid unnecessary losses. The corpses of troops that die by jumping into the sea can’t be resurrected."
Exactly! The magic gets higher by a foot; the way gets higher by an inch. Let’s see who is more advanced!
Da Fei waved his hand grandly, "The whole fleet, hear the order! All sailors and regular troops hide in the cabin!"
As Da Fei issued the order, each ship made final preparations. Just then, in the swirling storm clouds in the sky, a flash of red lightning ripped through the dimness between the sky and sea, crashing down with a rumble!
At this moment, the world was frozen in Da Fei’s eyes!
——Boom!!! With a loud noise, the lightning rod atop the mast of the Jade Dragon flashed gold! A damage of -40,000 burst out!
——System Prompt: The Divine Storm Tower of Jade Dragon absorbed a large amount of thunder energy, reducing a lot of lightning damage. Jade Dragon gained 631 points of thunder energy, current energy 632/1000.
Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed! Success! The lightning rod worked! But even with the lightning rod, it still dealt 40,000 damage. Damn, it’s like a Doomsday Cannon! Wouldn’t an ordinary ship be instantly killed?
Knowing the severity of the sea demon, Da Fei dared not be careless: "All units, prepare for battle!"
The furious wind howled and giant waves surged, a massive wall of clouds connecting the sky and sea rolled and rotated, a storm took form! It was coming! This artificial storm was no less than a natural storm, perhaps even more so. How formidable is the Siren’s power!
Da Fei shouted, "Selvia, can we start now?"
"I’m ready!" came Selvia’s firm and exhilarating voice from the deck of the Jade Dragon. Then a flash of gold, a small vortex formed in Selvia’s hands, just like Samael’s demonstration during the Nether Sea Storm!
Great! I’ll rely on this move to break the Siren Sea Demon’s storm, not to mention Selvia’s talent being the Sea Hymn, each level increase boosts the effect of Light Magic at sea by 1%. Now at level 46, the storm effect is increased by half, the power is immense!
Just then, another giant wave hit, causing the connected ships to shake and collide violently. Da Fei staggered and hastily grabbed the ship’s side, while Selvia actually fell over!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia’s God-level Light Magic Storm Attack effect was interrupted!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped, "Interrupted?!" Damn it! Of course, the giant waves rocked the ship so badly, how can Selvia cast spells?
And right then, from behind the rolling cloud wall, a resonant song that shook the sky and sea arose — the Sea Demon’s Song!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! So ruthless! Such ruthless combo! An expected thunderstorm plus the Sea Demon’s Song, how big was this grudge?
At this moment, Selvia shouted, "I must succeed! Elifel! Are you ready?"
Elifel shouted, "I will give my all!"
"Then let’s begin! Lift me up!" A flash of gold, Elifel instantly transformed into a golden light wrapping Selvia!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used God-level Light Magic "Angel Descent Spell", Selvia gains Contract Angel Elifel possession, all attribute values increased by 7%, gaining the Holy Body, duration 10 minutes.
——Angel Descent Spell: God-level Light Magic Spell, summons an angel for possession, greatly enhancing the body’s attributes, but after using this spell, there is a weakness period of several days. It is a weakened version of the Divine Arts "Divine Descent." The duration and intensity of angel possession depend on the player hero’s magic power and knowledge total value.
At that moment, Selvia’s angel fusion shone with radiant light, and a pair of ribbon-like flowing wings grew from her back, gently lifting her a foot off the ship’s deck!
She wants to perform aerial spellcasting like Samael!
Exactly! The legendary floating spellcasting that only particularly excellent Grand Mages could master, the Mage’s pretentious Divine Skill! And this Divine Skill requires Selvia’s angel possession to achieve, what a revelation!
However, simply leaving the deck only avoids the disturbance caused by the ship’s rocking on her casting, what about the wind in the sky!
Da Fei waved his hand, "The entire Angel Army of the Nature Guardian Legion, encircle Selvia to block the wind and protect her from any enemy disturbance!"
"Got it!" Anvil and Nerxia shouted in unison, joining other angels to form a human wall around Selvia!
Here it comes! This is the result I wanted!
