God-level Hero

Chapter 1523: Chapter 1419: Defeating a City Without Fighting?

Although Da Fei pondered for quite a while, all he did was dismiss various unreliable plans. So the final strategy was this rather unreliable Dark Element Spell called Big Puppetry Skill, which could control the enemy for a certain time. This is not a reliable spell, not to mention dealing with DemiGod-level monsters; even with regular Level 1, 2, or 3 units with no Magic Resistance, it would still be hard to succeed if there are many tactical positions. Even if it did succeed, the duration might not be long.

In short, it’s a very flawed spell that wastes Mana and delays battle opportunities. Da Fei’s final strategy is this most unreliable tactic, because it seems the Spider Queen has even higher-end tricks. So let’s give it a try.

Then, as expected, the first wave of Big Puppetry Skill launched by Elena and all the Shadow Witches failed in a puff of smoke. But it doesn’t matter, continue with the plan. Ten Whale Hunting Cannons and all ranged firepower in the Gun Cabin went full throttle, followed closely by Selvia and Elena’s Combination Skill, Frost Storm.

The next moment, when all cannons, arrows, and harpoons hit the Demon Dragon, it was as if they bounced off an invisible air wall. Numerous "arrow deviation" words flashed, and the first round of Attack didn’t cause a bit of damage, and all ten harpoons were deflected!

Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground! How familiar this scene is! He remembered when he fought the Blood Demon King in the Sulfur Blood Sea, they couldn’t even get close, let alone cause any damage!

Right now, facing the Demon Dragon lunging like a giant whale, Tamilia directly activated teleportation to dodge.

The Spider Queen’s angry shout also followed, "Useless! You can’t even break through a mere Low-level Protection Domain! Can you tell me how you defeated the Earth Dragon King with stronger Defense?"

Da Fei was stunned, "How to break through the Protection Domain?"

The Spider Queen sneered, "Of course, with an Attack-type domain against a Defense-type domain! Forget it, mortals weren’t meant to have this ability anyway. I overestimated you. You just need to do your job and keep the little ones from bothering me. Now it’s my warm-up time!"

Da Fei was utterly dumbfounded! Holy, did he just hear a new term again? What is his Wine God Domain considered? Could this Swamp Prison Demon Dragon be the strongest wild monster, closest to a God? Goodness, Hillsea, you’re really screwing me over!

If long-range doesn’t work, can sending the Angel Army to risk close combat work? If the basic disruption can’t be done, then all previous tactics are pointless. Maybe the only option is to focus on hitting the minor monsters?

Well, let’s hit the small ones. The next moment, the Sky Ship went full fire, teleporting around the field, dodging the raging Demon Dragon’s attack while bombarding the small monster groups trying to assist the Demon Dragon. Such complex operations could only be handed over to the NPC Deputy Officer for automatic execution.

At this moment, the Spider Queen’s eight claws latched onto the Demon Dragon’s neck like maggots to a bone. A flash of bloodlight, and the Demon Dragon’s roar echoed again underground!

Then the Demon Dragon abandoned the pursuit of the Sky Ship and shot directly upwards towards the underside of the earth!

The Spider Queen cursed, "Damn it!"

Indeed, the Demon Dragon’s massive body, facing a small attacker at the neck, was like an itch on the back that couldn’t be scratched, with no option other than rubbing it against something. There was only one place to scratch — the earth’s ceiling!

Boom!!! There was a huge explosion at the ceiling, and debris flew everywhere!

Da Fei was amazed, "Is it going to be okay?"

The Spider Queen’s annoyed voice came from the ceiling, "I dodged, so of course there’s no problem! But I can’t complete the absorption if this keeps on! I didn’t expect that after hundreds of years, this former reptile has grown to this level! You, you must come up with a way, otherwise, let your revenge go to hell, I have no patience to waste time on fools!"

—System Prompt: Warning! The mood of the Rose Spider Queen is very bad, and her opinion of you will affect future quest rewards! Do your utmost to appease the Spider Queen.

Apu! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of saliva! Damn, failure here is not related to revenge, okay? Could you be more unreasonable? Now what? Forget about pulling the monster to attack the city, even taking down this Demon Dragon seems quite difficult!

No way, I’m not convinced! I have defeated the Abyss Blood Demon King, said to have stronger Defense than the Earth Dragon King, there’s no reason I can’t figure something out here. I’ve always taken the road less traveled!

The Blood Demon King, right? Da Fei immediately changed the plan, "Sky Ship, teleport to the water surface, Blood Demon high-pressure water pump starting to store water! Sky Ship, retract the balloon immediately!"

"Received!"

That’s right, the high-pressure water pump was the only heavy weapon Da Fei could use now! The purpose of retracting the balloon was obviously because the balloon blocked the shooting trajectory of the high-pressure cannon. As for the loss of mobility caused by retracting the balloon, it would naturally be compensated by teleportation. Moreover, after retracting the balloon, there is one less large item, which significantly reduces teleportation costs.

And just after it shook off the "itch" on its back, the Demon Dragon turned its attention back to the Sky Ship parked on the water and roared again from below, lunging skyward!

Da Fei couldn’t imagine if getting hit head-on by such a large monster would be any different from being struck by a meteor!

Catherine’s voice came, "High-pressure water pump water storage complete! Lock onto target!"

Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Tamilia, teleport immediately if the water cannon doesn’t work!"

"Received!"

The next moment, the cannon door on Flying’s deck opened, and a thick column of mud shot up from the ship’s massive shake — bang, spraying Demon Dragon full of mud, and this shot, sure enough, drastically slowed its Diving momentum and its direction clearly veered!

And at that very moment, Selvia and Elena’s Combination Skill, Frost Storm, roared in, directly overthrowing the veering Demon Dragon. Another flash of bloodlight came from its neck as the Spider Queen struck again, and the Demon Dragon let out a bitter wail. Under the triple Attack, it completely lost control and plunged with a loud splash into the water, stirring up a monstrous black mud!

Indeed, things flying in the air are the most unstable!

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat as he immediately came up with an idea. Although this doesn’t count as a victory, as long as it can’t fly to the top, isn’t that enough to make it unable to cause trouble? Can’t it be drained to death by the Spider Queen then? Although it’s just a minor tactic, details determine success or failure!

Da Fei immediately ordered: "Don’t let it out of the water, just fire a cannon at it whenever it surfaces!"

"Roger that!"

As the Demon Dragon plummeted into the water, the minions flying in the sky also dove for the water in an attempt to assist.

If we’re dealing with the boss, I’ll hesitate to deploy troops, but when facing minions, there’s no need to hold back! Da Fei waved his hand: "Angel Army, intercept and strike!"

Savara also shouted: "Sir, Cindigosar and I request to join the battle!"

Cindigosar: "What do I have?"

"Alright! Let’s go together!"

Just as the Angel Army soared out, the massive silhouette of the Demon Dragon rapidly rushed towards the bottom of the Flying from underwater! If it were an ordinary ship, this would certainly be unavoidable doom, but for the Flying with teleportation, Da Fei actually wanted to let it try a collision?

At that moment, Anlicia shouted: "Watch me!"

With a flash of light from the Flying, another brightly lit illusion of the Flying appeared! Then Anlicia shouted decisively: "Turn off all the lights!"

Exactly, Anlicia is in automatic combat mode, and Da Fei has immense trust in her intelligence.

In an instant, Da Fei’s vision went dark as all the cabin lights on the Flying shut off. In the vast Swamp Prison, only the illusion of the Sky Ship soaring in the air and the illusion of the Flying drifting on the water became beacons in the darkness!

Seeing the illusion appear, the Demon Dragon unsurprisingly changed its charging direction!

Da Fei gleefully ordered: "Prepare the high-pressure water pump!"

Boom! Just as the Demon Dragon was about to break through the water’s surface, the Flying illusion under Anlicia’s control suddenly accelerated and moved aside swiftly, but even so, the massive wave impact when the Demon Dragon surfaced still caused the illusion’s durability to drop by ten thousand!

Then the Flying’s hull shuddered, and the high-pressure cannon shot out with a bang. At such close range, the water column sprayed directly from its head to its wings—especially when it hit the wings, the Demon Dragon seemed to stumble as if tripped, causing it to lose direction control. It spun in the air and crashed back into the water with a thunderous boom!

Indeed, details determine success! Da Fei excitedly punched the air: "Successfully restrained!"

At this point, the battle strategy has been established—whenever the Demon Dragon BOSS surfaces, it receives a head-on strike. Even though the small minions have the home field advantage in a harsh poisonous environment, they stand no chance against Da Fei’s Angel Army, which is equipped with full recovery skills and enhanced recovery from Da Fei’s divine artifacts. In short, Da Fei’s task to deal with the minions should be completed smoothly without suspense.

Then Elena’s voice rang out again: "The Big Puppetry Skill can be used once more!"

The spell’s cooldown time has finally ended! But at this moment, the situation is already under Da Fei’s control, so there’s no need to continue wasting the Holy Vine’s divine power like a gambler.

Da Fei calmly said: "Save energy, release it when the Demon Dragon is weak and near death!"

"Understood."

Wait! When the BOSS is about to die? At that moment, a shocking thought suddenly surged in Da Fei’s mind, one he dared not even imagine—is it possible to recruit this God-level Monster? Speaking of which, ever since capturing two BOSSes, Earth Element and Forest Demon, at the World Window and advancing to Master-level Leadership Skill, he hasn’t recruited another BOSS, has he?

And now with the Spider Queen in position, I’ve cleared out most of the minions, and I also have the recruitment Divine Skill imparted by the big brother, meaning all external conditions are met, right?

If recruited and then offered this BOSS to Deirdre for reward, Deirdre’s merit will surely be much higher than from hunting, won’t it? Her problems will be overachieved. And then I can also explore the Swamp Prison Bottom, and excavate the "Rotten World Tree Root," making a huge profit! My rewards are overachieved as well!

Then the Spider Queen, seeing how awesome I am, might be happy enough not to assess the destruction of the Swamp Prison City, thus solving all problems—Whoa, that’s the only unreliable part!

Thinking about the destruction of the Swamp Prison City, Da Fei’s brow twitched in thought!

According to Hillsea, this Swamp Prison City was built to refine the Swamp Prison, and if I excavate the key treasure at the Swamp Prison Bottom, then the Swamp Prison will lose its essence, and the Swamp Prison City will lose its reason for being, which would be the ultimate destruction, right?

Exactly! This is dismantling a city without a fight! This strategy is fundamentally superior to simple lure-and-attack tactics, and with Spider Queen’s God-level intelligence, she should understand!

Thinking of this made Da Fei’s body tremble with uncontrollable excitement! Anyway, forget the dreamy idea of recruitment for now, just killing the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon and digging up the treasures at the bottom will solve everything!

At this moment, Da Fei finally understood why the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon was so powerful!

(Ideas are still somewhat disjointed, exhausted. The ashtray hasn’t had a physical check-up in a long time, will go to the hospital tomorrow to get blood tested for liver function.) (To be continued.
