Chapter 976 - 919: Tomb of the Giant Dragon Saisu
When Da Fei asked Savara about the information on the Giant Dragon Treasure, Savara was surprised: "Master, your presence here makes your intention clear to me. Although, as a member of the Dragon Clan, I don’t support you disturbing the dragons’ slumber, as your subordinate, I will do my utmost to assist you. May I ask how many troops you have left?"
Remaining troops? Da Fei was stunned: "My troops haven’t suffered any losses, have they?"
Savara exclaimed: "How is that possible? The Dragon Soul possesses the special skill of soul-crushing, troops killed by the Dragon Soul cannot be resurrected!"
Soul-crushing! Cannot be resurrected? At that moment, Da Fei finally understood the terrifying nature of the Dragon Tomb! In the game Heroic Creation Era, there’s no saying "kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own"; the victor can resurrect troops after battle and claim everything, while the loser loses everything. So players must go all out, make a desperate gamble, even if the opponent is a god, even if casualties number in the tens of thousands, they must risk it like a red-eyed gambler.
However, the game indeed has many scenes where troops cannot be resurrected, such as the Flames River in Hellfire, where nothing remains of the troops that died there, and they can’t be resurrected. Such scenes truly let players experience the horror of war.
Now Da Fei couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. Without the Ancient Tree Fortress, can just my Angel Army ensure we take down the bosses of the first two treasures without losing a single soldier in the counterattack?
It’s like this: there appear to be 5 treasures, but the player’s troops diminish as the battle progresses, and towards the end, they may be unable to continue.
At this moment, Savara continued: "It seems your strength is indeed extraordinary; there’s a reason you’re here. However, the greatest treasure you need to challenge is the Time Giant Dragon Saisu. Besides having the commonly seen Fear Domain of the Dragon Clan, he also has the Time Stasis Domain. Even if mortals can overcome their fear of him, they can still hardly move in his Time Stasis Domain, completely at his mercy to slaughter them—in ordinary treasures, if you’re defeated, you can retreat, but in facing Saisu, you may not even have a chance to retreat. Have you decided to challenge him?"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Dual domains, as expected of the Dragon King level! Damn it, I was fearless because I didn’t know, but with this said, not being able to resurrect or run away, I’m scared witless.
Just then, Renior spoke: "But we have no choice; if we don’t clear these Dragon Tomb energies, we’ll lose direction and be unable to leave."
Tamilia added: "That’s right!"
Damn it, you two gluttons are only concerned about your own consumption! You must have selfish motives.
Savara exclaimed: "So your goal, Master, is to get out? No problem, I’m familiar with the way; I can lead you! May I ask where you want to go?"
At this moment, the atmosphere instantly turned cold. Tamilia’s fervent expression instantly went dull!
Da Fei was even more flabbergasted, "Damn it! Originally, I was thinking of making a gamble, a desperate battle—that’s what I came here for—and you give me an exit strategy, aren’t you deliberately messing with me? I’m already here, and if I don’t go in for a look, I’ll regret it for life!"
Da Fei coughed: "Well, let’s discuss how to defeat this Time Giant Dragon; though he must have been formidable while alive, isn’t he dead now? Surely there’s a chance, right?"
Savara said sternly: "I see, since you want to challenge Saisu, the only help I can offer is resisting his domain with the remaining energy I have, but it won’t last long, the rest is up to you."
Da Fei gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Alright, let’s do it—wait!"
Da Fei remembered one thing: "Is Saisu famous? Does his treasure have Divine Artifacts?"
Savara replied earnestly: "Of course, it’s said that the renowned Mage City of the Mortal World, Seven Cities Alliance, was founded under Saisu’s guidance, so dragons of his level can’t not have Divine Artifacts."
Surely there are Divine Artifacts! Then it’s worth the gamble: take all the rare Hellfire Crystal Rockets! I just returned from the European Union Zone, where each Blazing Angel carries nine units, fired three units on the Giant Crab Sea, now all two shots fired here—I still have four bottles of Dragon Blood Potion here! I’ll drink to my fill; for the sake of Divine Artifacts, I’m going all in!
Now, the Da Fei Fleet reached the Giant Dragon Saisu’s Bone, this battle is destined for a quick finish, so Da Fei decided to bring Selvia along. As for the fleet’s healing against the extreme cold after Selvia leaves, it’ll temporarily be handled by hundreds of Druids and Vine Demon units stationed there.
Clearing out several roaming Floating Ice Monsters from the surroundings, the whole team prepared, and the Flying teleported into the Dragon Bone, the Ancient Tree Fortress attacked! Into the instance, the scene changed.
An empty hall appeared before Da Fei. Da Fei was instantly stunned! Where’s the gold mountain? No, there is still something: lying in the middle of the hall is a small dragon covered in silver armor, its size equivalent to a typical level-seven Jade Dragon of the Elf Clan!
Then a deep voice resonated through the hall: "Welcome to Saisu’s Tomb Space; many years ago, I predicted warriors would visit, but unfortunately, my possessions were donated to children’s charities, leaving only the last inheritance of power waiting for true warriors to collect. Warrior, in this battle, you must harbor a determination to die, and a confidence to win. If you’re not ready, you still have time to back out now!"
At that moment, Da Fei’s group, bunkered in the Ancient Tree Fortress, was dumbfounded!
Anlicia couldn’t help but marvel: "This dragon’s tone is completely different from the previous two!"
Catherine was equally stunned: "For a dragon with inherently greedy nature, to not have treasure buried with him, this is a true Saint Dragon!"
Savara reaffirmed: "Indeed, Saisu’s realm is beyond what ordinary dragons can match."
And at this moment, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel his blood boil. Compared to those arrogant and violent dragons, being able to engage with such an upstanding dragon is a great fortune in life!
Although it’s unclear if the other party can hear, Da Fei still couldn’t help but say: "I’m ready!"
And the dragon indeed heard: "Very well then, Warrior, begin!"
In an instant, the silver-armored little dragon in the hall flashed gold-red light, and the light immediately covered the hall!
—System Prompt: You have entered the Dragon Domain, all your troops are affected by fear and unable to move or fight, duration unknown!
—System Prompt: You have entered the Time Domain, your troops are affected by time stasis, attack speed and move speed reduced by 90%!
Both domains, hit full! Da Fei was instantly stunned!
At this moment, Savara shouted: "Master, watch me!" As he spoke, smoke burst out from his body, dimming the gold-red glow enveloping Da Fei’s troops!
—System Prompt: Your troops have recovered from fear and time stasis effects!
Recovered! Da Fei waved his hand: "Blazing Angel Corps, attack!"
Twenty flame rockets trailing magnificent fiery light shot out, rushing towards the still-motionless little dragon in the hall—boom, boom, boom, boom!!! The entire hall turned into a sea of flames, the explosion of fiery shockwaves filled the hall!
Da Fei watched without blinking; he saw it, the damage data rising amidst the fiery sea—"-119!" "-120" and other double-digit figures! The expected high damage of the Hellfire Rocket was significantly lower than Da Fei anticipated!
Da Fei’s heart tightened, he couldn’t help but clench his fist.
Just then, the deep voice once again resounded through the hall: "Is this the warrior’s attack? Remarkable! Please continue!"
Damn it! Even your bragging level isn’t something ordinary dragons can match! Da Fei gritted his teeth, waved his hand: "Continue!"
—Boom, boom, boom, boom! The second round of Hellfire Rockets turned the hall into a sea of flames again!
Saisu remained steadily in the center of the hall: "Very elite Blazing Angel Corps! If I counted correctly, there should be one more shot?"
Da Fei was flabbergasted; you are indeed the system, is there anything about me you’re unaware of? Can’t you stop bragging?
Da Fei sighed: "Then the last shot!"
The last shot was an ordinary crystal, its fiery effect couldn’t match the first two shots. Saisu couldn’t help but sigh slightly: "It’s a shame, quite a bit lacking in firepower, well, is it my turn?"
