Chapter 917 - 866: So There Was Someone Watching Over
The storm weakened, the song turned into a dry howl, and the four formidable attacks of the Sea Demons - the Thunderstorm, the Tempest, the Song, and the Boarding Assault - all had no effect on Da Fei. The final decisive battle had finally arrived!
On Da Fei’s radar, four gigantic red dots suddenly appeared. Four Sea Monsters, resembling small islands, suddenly emerged around the fleet! They appeared, the Siren-riding giant Bone Fish, and there were four of them!
Seeing these four Bone Fish, as large as islands and mountains, charging in from all directions, Da Fei was dumbfounded!
Not afraid of the Thunderstorm, not afraid of the Tempest, not afraid of the Singing, not afraid of the Boarding, but this simplest, most direct, brute-force attack scared Da Fei! Size represents power, and such size and power are enough to crush all of Da Fei’s tactics and warships!
Damn! Is this a joke, if these things were so powerful, they could have just crushed their way through, no need for singing and storms, wasting server resources!
Screwed up, we really encountered a God-level Sea Monster! Da Fei made a decisive decision: "Immediately cut the ropes of the Flying, Radiant Wings, and Jade Dragon, Anlicia prepare to use the Vortex Crystal! Jade Dragon prepare to use the Plasma Cannon!"
The only plan now is to run! The use of the Vortex Crystal also comes with conditions, it must be used at a special spatial junction, whether this location is usable is uncertain, but there’s no time to worry about that! Anyway, Da Fei is ready to sell out his pirate comrades, let them hold the line!
Anlicia shouted: "They’re illusions! Don’t fall for it!"
Illusions? Da Fei suddenly realized, that’s right! They must be illusions! These giant Bone Fish, larger than the Mermaid Saint’s giant whale, are either God-level or Demigod; having one is rare, four is downright abnormal, the server’s electricity bill would skyrocket, the system would never do such a losing deal!
So, what is the opponent’s true intention? Just to scare us? Or to cover the true attack direction? Doesn’t matter, since the storm has stopped, cutting the ropes to free up our decks can’t be wrong!
Closer, the four giant illusions slashed through the waves and charged fiercely!
There’s waves! There are howls! Could these really be illusions? Da Fei couldn’t help but shiver. But he had to trust Anlicia’s judgment, if they weren’t illusions, just one would be enough to crush him, let alone four!
Closer, entering battle distance! Clearly seeing the Bone Fish heads as large as the bow of a ship; and just at this moment, Da Fei’s God-level Reconnaissance Technique alarmed!
——System Prompt: You have seen through the enemy’s illusions...
Damn! Just saw through, my eyesight is several levels worse than Anlicia’s!
——Boom! Boom!! Four loud bangs, the mountainous illusions crashed into the outer pirate ships, then transformed into a sky full of water, pouring down like torrential rain, obscuring Da Fei’s vision.
At this moment, Da Fei’s radar showed a white flash, and all the red clouds around the radar disappeared!
High-tech! At this moment, Da Fei realized the situation was bad, the enemy must be preparing to attack!
At this time, Tamilia appeared again: "Captain, the vines under the ship are sensing an energy body rapidly surfacing!"
So they were drilling the bottom of the ship! In that instant, the first thing Da Fei thought of was the Plasma Cannon of Jade Dragon, and he shouted loudly: "Selvia, prepare to unleash the ship’s electric discharge special skill!"
A faint voice from outside the water curtain was Selvia’s: "Received!"
Come on! As a Sea Monster, you had to sneakily drill the ship’s bottom, clearly lacking confidence in your size and strength, I’ll blast you with one shot!
Tamilia continued her warning: "Closer, many, more than one!"
So that’s it! Since it’s a wolf-pack strategy, it must not be the power-dominant giant Sea Monster! Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but excitedly say: "Tamilia, you command the cannon fire! No need to warn me!"
Tamilia replied excitedly: "Understood!"
At this moment, Da Fei concentrated all his focus on switching to the temporarily held-off Divine Artifact Effect of Deirdre! The day our cannon fires is the day I unleash the big black strike!
One second! Two seconds! Da Fei’s radar was still a white blur. Finally, Tamilia shouted: "Fire!"
"Fire!" Selvia responded loudly, the hull of the Jade Dragon flashed with electric light, and Da Fei simultaneously unleashed the Divine Artifact’s big black strike!
An earth-shattering noise erupted under the water, the pitch-black sea bottom was instantly illuminated by electric light. At this moment, lying on the ship’s rail, Da Fei saw hundreds of Bone Fish, as large as sharks, and the Mermaid Sea Demons on their backs frozen in the lightning!
"-2153!" "-2153!" "-2153!" "Dazed!" "Paralyzed!" "Dazed," hundreds of four-digit damage numbers and various statuses erupted from the water!
——System Prompt: Your Jade Dragon releases 2153 points of Power of Thunder and Lightning, special skill Plasma Shooting, Jade Dragon current Power of Thunder and Lightning is 0/2500!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre releases Curse Armor effect Master-level Dark Magic "Weakness Curse" on all enemy troops, Deirdre lacks the Mana to activate the second magic effect of the Curse Artifact.
Oh yeah! All hit! So the meaning of 2153 points of Power of Thunder and Lightning is to deal 2153 points of damage to the enemy! But they didn’t die!
At this time, Deirdre led the Sea Demon army out of the cabin, clearing the strange fish on the deck while shouting: "Master, Deirdre requests to join the battle!"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, yes, facing underwater enemies, Deirdre’s Sea Demon army is the best and only finishing force! If not now, then when?
But Da Fei was still worried: "What about the Sea Demon’s Song!"
Deirdre immediately said: "It’s not clear underwater, and our kind of Banshee is inherently a Spirit Body, with much higher resistance to mental attack skills!"
At this moment, a crisp sound of a lyre echoed through the sea and sky, a golden shockwave visible to the naked eye swept the entire field with Selvia at the center, the chaotic Sea Monster screams around suddenly ceased, and countless "-1" damage erupted!
——System Prompt: Hero Selvia releases the divine music "Angel First Scale", suppressing all enemy’s chanting spells!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Divine music! First Scale? What is this? She’s just an Advanced Minstrel, how could she possibly have such high-level skills?
Deirdre joyfully said: "Master, now we have no interference!"
Da Fei immediately snapped back: "Go! Make it quick, no chasing the enemy!"
"Roger that!" Deirdre immediately led all 44 Gunman Sea Demons and 2 Charming Emperor Sea Demons into the sea.
There’s nothing more to say, taking advantage of the opponent’s Siren’s Song being suppressed, Da Fei immediately brought out all the hidden troops from the ships, clearing out the monsters on the deck first.
Then Deirdre delivered the finishing blows, with a series of kill prompts rapidly appearing:
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre has killed a Siren Dead Sea Demon, gaining 390,000 Experience! Obtained Siren Sea Demon Howling Essence +1
——System Prompt: ...gained 390,000 Experience! Obtained Siren Sea Demon Howling Essence +1!
Da Fei’s brow jumped, finally, after killing so many sea monsters, something dropped! Da Fei hurriedly checked the inventory:
——Siren Sea Demon Howling Essence: The crystallization of the Siren Sea Demon’s sorrowful tears.
White name item, without any attributes, just like the Demon Essence obtained in Divine Punishment City, this thing must be impressive?
Damn! It must be awesome! Otherwise, the experience from this battle is too little, it totally doesn’t justify the difficulty of the kills! Ordinary players couldn’t even survive one of the first four encounters, and even if they did, without a diving unit they’d just be sitting ducks!
However, 390,000 Experience for one Sea Demon is indeed too little relative to the difficulty, but compared to her size, health, and quantity, it’s not small. Killing these hundreds of Sea Demons is nearly 40 million Experience, this is definitely going to level me up to 50! Damn, what expression should I use to face Angel Brother?
Now, the Deirdre Sea Demon Army is darting around beneath the surface, rapidly surrounding and hunting those Sirens paralyzed by lightning and cursed by the artifact, Anlicia’s Radiant Wings also activated Rune Charge, charged into the silenced screaming sea monster schools, rampaging and firing everywhere.
The battle has reached this point with no suspense whatsoever! They shouldn’t have been defeated, but they lost to Da Fei’s higher skill!
Looking at the floating sunken Siren corpses out of reach of the Flying Holy Vine, Tamilia lamented: "Nutrients! Lord City Lord!"
That’s right! These are high-end Sea Demon corpses, they’re definitely more nutritious than those big dumb sea monsters! Da Fei waved his hand urgently: "Arsenal Brothers, don’t worry about fighting, hurry up and salvage the corpses!"
"Got it!"
Corpse after corpse was salvaged from the sea, then wrapped by the Holy Vine’s tendrils, the surplus corpses were also retrieved by the Vine Demon and stored in the Holy Vine Space Teleportation Gate opened by Tamilia.
Only then did Da Fei see the Sirens’ appearance, withered, ugly, full of sharp teeth like a witch! Damn it! Are they really zombies among the Sea Demons? So ugly, it’s no pressure at all to kill them!
Finally, all the bone fish boarding the ship were swept away, the last Siren Sea Demon contributed the last bit of experience and essence, the remaining miscellaneous fish scattered, and then the anticipated screen prompts appeared:
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 50! Your personal damage +1, tactical position +1...
——System Prompt: You have obtained the qualification to enter the New World National War Zone, please go to the City Hall of any human city, you will receive a New World Sealing Order reward. (Note: The current National War Zone is not yet open, please await notification for the opening time.)
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alina has successfully leveled up to 40!
——System Prompt: Your follower hero Tamilia has successfully leveled up to 37!
——System Prompt: Your follower hero Tamilia has successfully leveled up to 38!
...
The whole army was jubilant, even the captured pirates couldn’t help but drink heartily.
While Da Fei let out a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear, what a nerve-wracking battle, a close victory, it was totally a narrow escape! If any part couldn’t be handled, I’d be the one down! Will the future journey be this tough too?
At this moment, two bursts of laughter suddenly emerged above the fleet, a golden beam and a black beam appeared simultaneously, revealing the figures of a Golden Armored Angel and a Black Smoke Ghost Dragon within.
Da Fei’s brow jumped in surprise: "Death Angel Samael? Ghost Dragon King Samaster?"
Only to hear Samael laughing heartily: "Warrior, we meet again! Just now Samaster and I made a bet on how many rounds you could withstand, and we both lost!"
Samaster said in a muffled voice: "The warrior’s display of such astonishing strength truly surprised me, I’m no longer limited to surface cooperation with the warrior, if you’re interested, come find me at Ghost Dragon Cliff." With that, the black beam along with Samaster’s image disappeared.
Da Fei came to a sudden realization: "So it was a test from the two lords?"
Samael shook his head and smiled: "No, it was to save you! If you couldn’t hold on, we would have had to reveal our true forms to help. Fortunately, we didn’t have to act, otherwise, our appearance would have caused disputes among the local powerhouses, which would have been a big trouble. Anyway, you’ve successfully crossed the Siren Sea of Death, the future journey won’t be a difficulty for you, I’ll be waiting for the warrior’s visit in Fatalon!" Saying so, the golden beam also disappeared.
Damn it, it was a test in the end! I said, the system shouldn’t be so outrageous, deploying such strong sea monsters to handle players, this really scared me to death! But, I really have an urgent matter, I just want to recharge a bit!
