God-level Hero

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1414: Racing Against Time to Seize the Spoils

As Da Fei’s Army swept the entire Earth Dragon Cave clean, the Flying transmitted back to the surface and then rapidly advanced toward the spider nest outside the target Shadow City. For the Sky Ship, as long as there were no obstacles in sight, it could teleport all the way forward. In matters of seizing opportunities, speed is essential.

Having learned from the lessons of this battle, Da Fei decided to correct the arrogance and underestimating the enemy mentality, starting with seizing opportunities.

So Da Fei continued to consult with Deirdre, "After your battle in the spider nest earlier, how much fighting capability do you think the enemy has left now?"

Deirdre shook her head: "It’s impossible to determine, but it definitely should be weaker than before. By the way, this spider nest is said to be the sacrificial altar of the Dark Elves back in the day, perhaps Miss Elena knows more?"

Indeed! Da Fei summoned Elena, and upon hearing about the altar, Elena’s spirit lifted: "Alright, I’ll take a look. Generally speaking, a common altar in a Dark Elf City would be built in the city square. However, a Prayer Altar would be built outside the city where dark energy is abundant, because the powerful force of prayer could affect city buildings and citizens. So this altar must be a Prayer Altar."

Da Fei was surprised: "Prayer?"

Elena nodded: "It’s about beseeching the Rose Spider Queen for divine intervention. If my guess is correct, the spider corpse we found earlier in the Ogre Nest was descended upon back in the day."

How intriguing! Da Fei quickly asked, "Can we activate this altar to summon it again?"

Elena replied seriously: "That’s why I need to take a look! By the way, usually, Dark Elf Cities are connected to outside altars by secret tunnels. If the Demons don’t know about these tunnels, we can use them to directly enter the city."

Da Fei was taken aback: "Directly into the city?" In that instant, the thought of attacking the city, which Da Fei had abandoned, was reignited!

Da Fei summoned Hillsea again. When Hillsea entered, Da Fei noticed his eyes were slightly red! Damn, was he really crying quietly by himself?

Da Fei quickly consoled, "Hillsea, perhaps we have found a lead to save your mother. Do you know the secret tunnel from Shadow City to the spider nest outside the city?"

Hillsea was suddenly stunned: "Secret tunnel? I’ve never heard of it!"

Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed: "Truly unaware?"

Hillsea said blankly, "Master, I do know there’s a spider nest outside, rumored to be a Dark Elf altar. I have attempted multiple times to attack it for merit, but failed every time. If I had known about the secret tunnel, it might have been a different outcome."

Da Fei was thrilled: "So even the City Lord doesn’t know about this secret tunnel?"

Hillsea nodded: "Yes."

Elena clapped her hands and laughed: "Presumably so. Some secrets are known only to a few upper queens of the Dark Elves, and the arrogance of the Demons certainly disinterests them in the conquered rituals."

There’s potential! Da Fei asked again, "You said you repeatedly attacked this nest and failed each time, was it that difficult?"

Hillsea answered seriously: "Of course, our fallen troops turned into sacrificial offerings for the spiders; the more we lost, the stronger they became. When we realized this, the spider nest had become difficult to conquer. Later, we found that as long as no Dark Elf Priest could access the altar, it posed no threat, so we left it be."

Elena’s brow jumped: "So it automatically activated a blood sacrifice mode! By the way, Miss Deirdre, how much did you lose in your failed attack earlier?"

Deirdre frowned: "Approximately 100,000 in total leadership value of Hell Race level 1, 2, and 3 conventional troops!"

Elena was shocked: "My lord, we must arrive before the altar completely absorbs these sacrifices! As long as we get there first and take control of the altar, these sacrifices can be used by us! But if we delay, the difficulty will definitely be more terrifying than before!"

Oh damn! Seizing opportunities isn’t easy! In shock, Da Fei quickly summoned Tamilia: "Accelerate! We must teleport to the spider nest at full speed!"

Tamilia frowned: "This is already the fastest!"

Is that so? Looking at the distance on the map as small as a palm, Da Fei gritted his teeth in anxiety! If this were at sea, the Flying could teleport over half the globe within an hour or two, but this is underground! Without visual clearance, teleportation isn’t an option, you could crash at any moment!

Hillsea quickly said: "Master, what limits our teleportation is the unknown obstructive terrain underground. However, I’ve been patrolling around Shadow City for years and I’m familiar with its surroundings. Once we reach near Shadow City, I can provide beyond visual range teleportation navigation!"

Indeed, talent is hard to find! Da Fei waved his hand: "Great, let’s hurry to the cockpit!"

And so, Hillsea hurriedly followed Tamilia to the cockpit.

Da Fei asked Deirdre again, "Is the space in the spider nest large enough? Can it accommodate the Sky Ship and Nasir Ancient Tree?"

"My lord, it cannot!"

Looks like the good streak is over. This means it’s up to me to launch an amphibious assault. Da Fei began to prepare the troops for battle. There’s nothing special to prepare; deploying the entire Angel Army will do! Usually too precious to let them charge into battle, but now for this seizing opportunity situation, it’s essential. Then Savara along with her proud mount Cindigosar and 200 cannon fodder Jade Dragons are, of course, must deploy.

And then, the Lilim Army? Hmm, 3 Spider Lilims and 9 human-shaped Lilims all out! Even if the Lilim die, the Lilim Camp can retrieve the Lilim’s Soul, so no need to hold back, it’s time to train troops.

Finally, Da Fei asked Elena again: "Will your Dark Elf troops be deployed?"

Elena answered seriously: "Absolutely, the 27 Shadow Witches’ assistance is essential to taking over the altar as quickly as possible."

Miss Deirdre said with relief, "Master, we should be thankful for Miss Elena’s presence. As the Queen of the Dark Elves, she has the ability to take over the altar. If someone else were here, even if they conquered this nest, at most, they would just destroy the altar as required by the task."

Elena replied with a smile, "That’s why I’m really looking forward to this battle!"

Da Fei exclaimed in surprise and delight, "I see!" In other words, if a player’s team includes a high-end Dark Elf Hero, completing this Hell Merit task will come with extra rewards! If these "extras" mean "Divine Descent," it would be beyond imagination!

Let’s take the risk! This time, we must give it our all!

Now, with everything ready, Da Fei impatiently paced back and forth on the ship. Time ticked away second by second, and Da Fei’s screen kept flickering with visual disturbances caused by the constant teleportation of the Sky Ship. At this moment, the mana reserves of the 10 Charging Crystals on the Flying have been exhausted, and now it’s relying on the Holy Vine’s Divine Power for teleportation!

The investment for this battle is considerable! Normally, Tamilia would never teleport so recklessly, but now with the Divine Power Tree Root, there’s capital to squander! My expectations aren’t too high, just hoping this battle’s results can repay the consumption of the tree root’s divine power tenfold.

Finally, Hillsea’s voice rang out, "Master, we’ve reached the territory I’m familiar with in Shadow City! Super-visual range navigation begins!"

Then, in the next moment, as if blinking a few times, with the screen shaking violently, Hillsea’s voice rang out again, "Master, we’ve arrived at the Spider Nest!"

So fast! Watching the map shrink by leaps, Da Fei felt incredibly exhilarating! This is high-tech indeed!

At this moment, the voices of the three elders also came, "Warrior, we’ve discovered a large number of enemy forces surrounding us!"

Hillsea hurriedly said, "Shadow City has strengthened its perimeter defenses, so the master must make a quick battle!"

Tamilia added, "Lord City Lord, I will stay behind!"

Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Attack!"

In the next moment, the Holy Vine Space Gate opened directly at the spider cavern entrance, and the troops selected by Da Fei rushed out in a frenzy!

Deirdre shouted, "Master, I will lead the way!"

Selvia said seriously, "Captain, swift battle is crucial; I suggest we use Angel Possession!"

Right! Only flying heroes can best command the Flying Army, and we can’t let my ground-based command slow down the entire army!

Ror Angel Possession, activate! At the same time, Selvia’s Elifel Angel took possession and activated!

With two golden lights descending from the sky, Da Fei and Selvia transformed into two radiant Illusion Angels. Now, there’s nothing else to say; onwards!

Da Fei led the entire Flying Army into the passage, quickly spotting the piles of Hell Corpses stacked within. These corpses emitted a faint red smoke that looked as though it was drawn to the depths of the passage by a smoke extractor, and more corpses continued to dissipate without a trace as they released smoke.

No need to explain, this is the result of the Blood Sacrifice! Corpses that have been blood sacrificed cannot be moved, and Da Fei abandoned the idle thought of sending Tamilia to work.

Then, in the next moment, a red light exploded, and countless small spiders mixed with mucus and poison fog rained down from tiny holes above the passage!

How trivial! Da Fei immediately summoned the Blood Eagle, activated the Petrification Aura, and continued flying!

In the next moment, within the area covered by the Blood Eagle’s Petrification Aura, countless small spiders turned to stone and fell, while in areas not covered by the aura behind Da Fei’s team, the spiders that touched Da Fei’s troops exploded into sparks with a bang!

That’s right, Da Fei’s Flame Shield, Revenge Cloak of the Abyss Lord, and Dark Thorn Belt all have inherent flame and physical reflections, rendering such attacks irrelevant. As for the mucus poison damage, it’s insignificant compared to Da Fei’s army’s Self-Healing ability!

A trifle! Really, just a trifle drizzle!

Looking down at the bodies emitting smoke filling the passage, a huge sense of superiority surged within Da Fei! Is this the strength of Japan’s main force? It’s vastly inferior to me, ha ha, wawahaha!

Soon, a huge red dot appeared on Da Fei’s radar ahead, and Da Fei furrowed his brow, a BOSS!

Deirdre said seriously, "Master, this is the Altar Guardian. In my previous encounter, my warriors consumed many of its minions, but didn’t do much to it directly, considering its recovery during this period, it likely retains considerable combat strength. Master, be cautious!"

Da Fei furrowed his brow! It goes without saying, Japan dared to challenge this BOSS simply because they can summon 12 Demon Servants; if even those 12 Demon Servants couldn’t defeat it, one can only imagine how formidable this BOSS is!

At this moment, Da Fei thought of the Medusa Shield in his hand! He originally considered testing its strength against the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon, but now it seems more suitable to try it against a BOSS that’s been depleted in power.

Closer now! Amidst the alarming red flashes before him, the Earth Dragon Cave at the end of the passage revealed a giant spider, as big as a car with glow surrounding its entire body! The eight red eyes of the spider glared at the swooping Da Fei like the turning lights of a car!

Stare wider! Rounder eyes! Get closer! Smile—

As Da Fei entered the Earth Dragon Cave hall, the Medusa Shield activated! The Medusa’s Head on the shield abruptly opened its eyes, and two beams of white light shot out, striking the Spider BOSS as if hit by paint and lime guns, turning its whole body grayish-white, and its movements became extremely slow!

No petrification, but slowed down! That’s enough! Da Fei gave a grand gesture, and all angels swooped down, surrounding the spider from above and below for a group assault! (To be continued.
