Along with the Flame Demonâs explosive self-destruction, black flames enveloped the Flyingâs hull and sails, burning fiercely in the dark fire.
Catherine immediately shouted, "Firefighting! All crew members, put out the fire quickly!"
Tamiliaâs panicked voice echoed in the cabin, "My lord, this is Abyss Demon Flame. Only the Water of Light can purify it. Hurry and use the pool water to extinguish it!"
Water from the Pool of Light? Itâs right here! With no time to celebrate the victory, Da Fei quickly grabbed a bucket from a sailor and personally started dousing the flames.
But the dozens of buckets of water instantly turned into steam, merely a drop in the bucket. Not to mention, the effectiveness of the Pool of Radiance water had diminished due to contamination!
Damn it! Could it be? Is this Divine Fire?
Just as Da Fei was in shock and despair, a squad of Pegasus Knights and the remaining Jade Dragon flew over the Flying, and the Pegasus Hero shouted, "Warriors, let me lend you a hand!"
The knights circled above the Flying, waving their hands to cast a spell. The city-wide green Healing Rain of Radiant City shrank, concentrating above the Flying. The raindrops fell like a waterfall, extinguishing the black flames ravaging the ship. In the cascade, the Life Value of the Pegasus Knights and the Jade Dragon soared rapidly, and the thousands of Flower Demons, just dust moments ago, were resurrected under the baptism.
Da Fei was thrilled! Oh my gosh, the effect was astounding! Such valuable resources should indeed be concentrated for the main forces!
Anlicia respectfully bowed to the sky, "Thank you, Lord Aries!"
Da Fei was taken aback. Was this the first time he saw Anlicia like thisâthe admiration? Surely, a Pegasus Hero commanding high-level troops and contending with Flame Demons had to be a legendary hero!
Da Fei quickly followed suit and bowed, "Thank you, my lord, for the rescue!"
Aries laughed heartily, "Now that weâve recovered, warriors, letâs wipe out every enemy who dared invade!"
Da Fei was delighted, "Absolutely!"
Meanwhile, the Star Army at the cityâs Teleportation Array was engulfed in a wave of Death White Light. They were all cursing in unison, "This sucks!" "Our healing effects are gone!"
Ha, Da Fei couldnât help but laugh! Indeed, it sucks, but comrades are meant to be taken advantage of!
The Healing Rain vanished completely after the final downpour, and the fully recovered Pegasus Knights began assisting the Star team in flanking Nakashaâs Spider Demon Army, reversing the situation in an instant!
Just then, Da Feiâs communicator buzzedâit could only be the Goddess!
Bu Feiyan laughed, "As expected of Brother Fei! You took out the BOSS with a single move. Did a Divine Artifact drop?"
Da Fei laughed boisterously, "It was the NPCs who did it, haha! Itâs not that easy to get Divine Artifacts, right?"
Bu Feiyan laughed, "Alright, now itâs our turn to counterattack. Brother Fei, letâs work together!"
"Letâs do it together!"
Hahaha! Getting a Divine Artifact sure was easy! Da Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly examined the dropped Divine Artifact!
âFlame Shield: Divine Artifact, off-hand weapon slot, troops Defense +50, troops Magic Resistance +15%, Flame Shield special effect, troops reflect 3 points Flame Damage back to attacker after melee attacks.
This is the Divine Artifact Shield!
Da Fei was stunned by the staggering 50-point attribute! For a mere Divine Artifact Shield, having only physical resistance without magic resistance made no sense, so the +15% magic resistance was a blessing for low-level cannon fodder soldiers who naturally lacked magic resistance. More importantly, when combined with Elenaâs 6-set Divine Equipment special skill Elemental Domain, the troopsâ additional magic resistance reached a shocking 45%. High-level soldiers with naturally high magic resistance soared to the 95% anti-magic limit!
Moreover, the unexpected rebound melee damage Flame Shield special effect, though seemingly small, was reminiscent of the Lizardmanâs Staff acquired during the competition! Meaning, my troops would no longer fear super creatures like rat swarms?
Good stuff! Truly deserving of the title Divine Artifact! Ha, hahahahaha!
Without further thought, he quickly equipped it! Itâs a pity the recently acquired Spear of the Dead hadnât even been used yet, all strategic reserves, yet thereâs a slot conflict. No worries, let Anlicia use the Spear of the Dead, since sheâs always whining for gear!
Just then, Tamilia appeared, her expression grave, "My lord, although the Abyss Demon Flame was extinguished immediately, the curseâs corrosion effect persists, and our Holy Vineâs growth is inhibited!"
Da Fei was shocked, quickly checking the Flyingâs current attributes, and indeed, a new line appeared in the current status bar: "Cursed by the Demon God"!
âCursed by the Demon God: The newly born Holy Vine struggles against the curse of the Demon Godâs Flames, and the growth of the Holy Vine is now completely inhibited.
Oh, goodness! My Flying truly was the Ship of Misfortune, plagued with constant trouble! Since taking ownership, it had never ceased being cursed!
Da Fei exclaimed, "Does that mean the Flyingâs self-healing ability is gone?"
Tamilia shook her head, "No, the self-healing ability remains, but the Holy Vine cannot grow further, nor can the Holy Vine Space expand. If growth remains stunted and the Flame Demon returns, our Holy Vine will be even more defenseless!"
Da Fei was stunned! Could it return again? Could slaying it again drop more Divine Artifacts? Goodness, what am I thinking! Without the Pegasus Knights, could I have defeated any demigod?
Looking at the Flying, now reduced to a mere 120,000 durability cap after incineration, Da Fei lamented, "Does this mean our shipâs attributes will no longer improve?"
Tamilia shook her head again, "I donât understand ships, but surely they can no longer rely on the Holy Vineâs power to enhance attributes. Clearing the curse from the Holy Vine is necessary, and how to do that, I donât know. This realm involves Divine Power; I am powerless!"
Then Anlicia spoke, "Lord City Lord, your original plan was to restore Flying by purifying the Pool of Radiance, right? Perhaps once the Pool of Radiance is fully restored, a solution will naturally emerge. Plus, Flying can still upgrade without the Holy Vine, maybe after upgrading, it will naturally enhance the Holy Vineâs resistance."
Catherine echoed, "Exactly, the Holy Vine is the Holy Vine, and the ship is the ship. The ship can upgrade without the Holy Vine, and as it stands, Flying is already incredibly powerful. Thereâs not one large warship across any nation that can compare, so Captain, no need to worry!"
How could I not be anxious? Experts play team tactics; my game is pioneering. Just the thought of my advanced advantage being suppressed discomforts me! And knowing that while my Flying is grounded, the Britishâs colossal Ark flaunts around, makes me wonder how advanced theyâve become! This patriotic spirit, simmered under poverty for 30 years, now finally awakened in affluence, drives me to engage in national wars to glorify my country! Sigh...
Da Fei nodded helplessly, "It seems thatâs all we can do!"
Anlicia added, "The Flame Demon is now dealt with, the city is in the hands of Lord Aries and our kingdomâs warriors; our target is to repel the sea monsters from the outer wall!"
Elena laughed, "Leave it to me!"
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, letâs head to the wall!" Although Da Fei wanted to instantly teleport Flying outside the walls to bombard those sea monsters, seeing their lobster-like bloody red armor and terrifying numbers, he immediately abandoned the crazy thought.
Better let Elenaâs heavy firepower coordinate with the wall defenders to bombard!
However, with all the meteor showers and wall bombardments, such a spectacle in the water, why hadnât Brother Maoâs Leviathan appeared yet? Da Fei sighed; no movement was better since I didnât fully rely on it in the first place. Also, hundreds of water monsters here, what effect could a newborn tiny Leviathan possibly have?
Helplessly Da Fei opened the "Leviathanâs Anger" task to see what the matter was.
âTask Hint: Warning!!! The terrifying cry for life from the juvenile Leviathan feeling a tremendous threat, as the angry Leviathan Mother approaches!
âTask Hint: Warning! Leviathan is an Ancient God-level Giant Beast; an adult Leviathan possesses abilities beyond mortal comprehension.
For a moment, Da Fei was paralyzed on the spot!
Approaching? Oh my goodness, last time was urging me to prepare early, now itâs outright saying itâs coming! Damn, God-level beasts truly arenât limited by geographical constraints?! If Leviathan comes, what to do? These water monsters will surely meet an ugly end, but what about our city? Wonât it be implicated and torn apart in rage? Damn, having just dealt with a demigod, now thereâs a Divine Beast. Who can withstand such torment?!
Da Fei urgently called to his companions, "Thereâs a new situation; everyone ignore the water monsters, Leviathan is coming! Think of something!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
...
The Dragon Slayer Command Center. The scene of the Flame Demonâs self-destruction shocked the room. Although the distance made the footage unclear, it was confirmedâthe Elves had reversed the situation!
Everyone in the command center was sighing regretfully, "Was this Flame Demon some clown invited by the Spider? Out of action so soon, at least it should have lasted until the sea monsters breached a wall."
"Itâs Da Fei steering the ship, with so many cannons firing in volleys; even a deity couldnât withstand several rounds!"
"What level was this Flame Demon? If it were a God-level BOSS, a Divine Artifact wouldâve dropped, right?"
"Are you kidding, boss? Shouldnât we be dropping some Divine Artifacts too? Da Fei is over there, arrogantly boasting with his dreadnought, collecting Divine Artifacts all over, who can bear that?!"
"Donât panic, donât panic, the commotion at the camp is intensifying, and the Divine Artifact is beckoning us too!"
Were Divine Artifacts really beckoning to us? At this moment, Ma Yinglong felt a vague sense of unease. With the Flame Demon slain and the Spider Demon forces trapped, his own army no longer had the advantage! However, if sacrificing ten thousand defenders could off a single divine entity and drop a Divine Artifact, it would be absolutely worth it, and the advantage would still be on his side.
While contemplating and observing the battle, the team members onsite before the camp were exclaiming, "Itâs floodwater! Thereâs floodwater coming down on the ground!" (To be continued.
