Although the Demigod Crow wasnât slain to drop a Divine Artifact, its heavy injury means a loss of control over the Mercury Mine, thus achieving the primary objective of Dragon Slayerâs occupation.
But just occupying without exploitation, or failing to transport after exploitation, amounts to nothing, hence the objectives following Dragon Slayer are exceedingly arduous. First, after all this time, itâs necessary to examine what the space on the other side of Mercury Lake looks like and where it leads.
Thus, after a brief rest, several team members once again entered the passage to reach the opposite Mercury Lake space, while Ma Yinglong took a sip of hot coffee to soothe his indignant loss over the Divine Artifact.
At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center fell silent; Ma Yinglong couldnât help but look up at the big screen in astonishmentâAh poof!!! A mouthful of hot coffee sprayed out!
In that instant, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center erupted: "Whatâs going on! So many heroes and troops!"
"Oh my God, an Ogre Hero! First time seeing it!"
At this moment, in front of the passage, on the shore of Mercury Lake, a red Demon Child Sea stretched out, with dozens of tall, silver-black Tree Spirits aligned like a city wall behind the Demon Child. An equally tall Ogre Hero stood holding a giant axe at the front of the formation, and behind the Tree Spirit wall floated over a hundred units that looked like Flower Demons but were clearly not, along with various indistinct units.
Among the crowd were the glaring red names "Vice Hero Alicia of Da Fei," "Vice Hero Serbia of Da Fei," "Vice Hero Alina of Da Fei," and "Vice Hero Deirdre of Da Fei," nearly blinding everyone in the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center!
The Dragon Slayer Command Center exploded once more: "Itâs Da Fei! Itâs Da Feiâs heroes and troops!"
Boom!!! The ground shook with a rumble as the Tree Spirit formation, like a towering wall, began to press forward to the entrance of the passage!
Lei Huolong panicked: "Retreat! Fall back to the entrance and establish defenses! Initiate emergency protocol No.1!"
Bam! Ma Yinglong slammed his coffee cup, shouting angrily: "Da Fei, youâre pushing it too far!"
Ma Yinglong hurriedly opened his friend list, only to find Da Feiâs name grayed out, unable to connect. Only then did Ma Yinglong realize, Da Fei was still in the European Union Zone and hadnât returned! Which means, these are his remaining Vice Heroes! And just his Vice Heroes can act so audaciously?
At this moment, Lei Huolong said: "Boss, donât worry. Weâve prepared emergency protocols to deal with the NPC Kingdomâs forces. Not to mention, no matter how many of Da Feiâs irregular tavern heroes there are, they canât match Siriel. Theyâre no different from wild monsters! A single Fireball will wipe them out. Just watch how we play them to death!"
Ma Yinglong finally regained his composure, coldly saying: "Fine then, letâs take this chance to deal with Da Fei. Itâs not that Iâm disrespecting him; itâs his NPC heroes who are overconfident, not my fault!"
Now, Lei Huolong hurried to the magma pool where Siriel rested, shouting: "Mentor! The Elf Kingdom is attacking! Please intervene!"
Siriel chuckled darkly: "The Elf Kingdom couldnât handle a Demigod, but theyâll handle me? Iâm curious to see!"
Even NPCs are so confident, which somewhat reassured Ma Yinglong. However, the disparity in troop and hero numbers on both sides couldnât be underestimated. All in all, this was a fierce battle requiring a full effort.
Now, Lei Huolong led over a dozen team members, along with fewer than a hundred Fire Element Army members, standing ready at the entrance of the passage.
Against the Elf Kingdomâs expedition, Dragon Slayer prepared a response: utilizing the countless Magma Pools within the Lava Space for a strategic retreat, conducting guerrilla warfare. Lei Huolongâs team and the Fire Element Army possess Flame Demon Bodies, so as long as they jump into a Magma Pool, the enemyâs melee forces will be helpless.
Moreover, Lei Huolongâs team gains speed and life recovery bonuses within the Lava Space. Meanwhile, Elf unitsâ travel speed here decreases by 50%, and prolonged stay results in continuous decline in life and stamina. Overall, professional players take advantage of their absolute home turf to bait and trick the computer, not to mention the absolute main force, Siriel.
The Space Gate of the passage experienced intense fluctuations, signaling Da Feiâs irregular army charging through! At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was tense with solemnity!
ââHuh!!! With a mighty roar, a towering Ogre Hero, akin to a mountain of flesh, led a massive Demon Child Sea charging from the passage door!
Against the Hell Race, the mana-absorbing Demon Child Sea must first be cleared! The enemy using Demon Child cannon fodder at the front serves the needs of both sides.
"Attack!" At Lei Huolongâs order, with nerves taut with tension, a dozen team members simultaneously cast Fireball Technique. A dozen huge fireballs, trailing blazing tails, whooshed outâBoom Boom Boom!!! The entire entrance turned into a sea of fire, flashing with countless beams of light, as countless "Illusion Dispelled" notifications exploded!
It turned out to be an illusion? At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was in shock, Ma Yinglongâs jaw dropping to the ground!
Never before had they seen illusions that can shout loudly! Moreover, everyone was highly on edge, facing the unit they were most eager to fight. Even professional players got caught! At this moment, Dragon Slayer Guild realized something was amiss.
Sure enough, the passage door flashed with light, followed by another mighty roar. A burly Ogre Hero led a massive Demon Child Sea surging out; these were the genuine troops, emitting eerie white light and charging at an inconceivable speed!
Facing these light effects that even professional players couldnât distinguish, Lei Huolong loudly called: "Initiate emergency protocol No.2!"
In an instant, all team members scattered, retreating to the Magma Pools.
At this moment, a massive fireball whistled from the rear; it was Sirielâs fireball! At this moment, all the team members who turned to flee looked back, and the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center eagerly anticipated the effect of this shot â after all, not everyone fully knew the extent of Sirielâs power.
â Boom!!! A sea of flames instantly engulfed the Demon Child Sea and the leading Ogre Hero, countless -9 damage numbers erupted over each Demon Childâs head, and the white light surrounding them dissipated in the flames.
Ma Yinglongâs eyebrow twitched! The Demon Childâs basic blood volume is only 5 points, now if -9 damage doesnât kill them, it means this white light at least added 4 points of health to the Demon Child! That is, their life is doubled. Based on the early game, if Da Fei has 3000 Demon Children, then this shot delivered 27,000 damage, which showcases the power of Sirielâs fireball!
But itâs not over!
â Boom! In the sea of fire, another flash of flames appeared, and the words "-1 Burn Damage" once again leapt over all the Demon Childrenâs heads!
Indeed, this is the firepower of the Flame Demon, which continuously adds flame damage effects based on regular magic damage. When encountering enemies with weak attributes, the total sustained damage can even exceed the damage of the fireball spell itself! In other words, the Ash Envoy profession of the Flame Demon clan not only increases flame magic power with level but also enhances various flame additional effects. The Flame Demons are true Flame Masters.
Now, even though these Demon Children have lost 10 points of health and havenât fallen, itâs a bit unexpected for the Dragon Slayer Guild, but compared to Da Feiâs terrifying blood boost for low-level soldiers in the competition, this situation isnât much. Anyway, they wonât run far before they all collapse together, and everyone has prepared to capture the spectacular moment with a screenshot.
And at this moment, a black light covered the group of Demon Children, and over all their heads, the words "+2 Dark Healing" appeared simultaneously.
Thereâs healing! The enemyâs hero has followed up timely!
Sure enough, with another ripple at the portal, Vice Hero Da Fei and the tavern hero group, along with suspected Flower Demon troops, appeared with a flourish.
Sirielâs maniacal laughter echoed through the space: "Welcome, kids!"
At this moment, an enchanting and loud voice also echoed through the space: "Teacher, long time no see?"
Teacher? Triggered a plot? The entire command center was dumbfounded!
Only to hear Siriel speak in a deep voice: "Deirdre, so it was you, the traitor!"
Indeed the plot was triggered! The Dragon Slayer Command Center was in an uproar. Everyone who participated in the last Pool of Radiance battle knew the relationship between this Banshee and Siriel, who was then serving as an Execution Officer, and an ominous feeling immediately filled everyoneâs hearts.
Only to hear the Banshee laugh out loud: "Did the teacher not also betray?"
Siriel sneered: "Didnât you cause it? Now itâs just right, let me end you!"
The Banshee laughed heartily: "Teacher, I donât see you as someone obsessed with hatred? In your current situation, is there any need to continue fighting?"
Siriel roared with laughter: "Whether thereâs a need to fight is determined by power, win against me, and weâll talk nonsense!"
As he spoke, a massive red array appeared in the sky, and just then, a flash of magic light crashed and scattered the array!
â System Prompt: Enemy army Da Feiâs Vice Hero Elena cast a magic counter, stopping Sirielâs spell!
The Dragon Slayer Guild was aghast! To be able to so effortlessly prevent Siriel from casting spells, this means Elenaâs magic knowledge is not much different from Sirielâs! Is this the mysterious Vice Hero Da Fei never let out during competitions?
At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Guild finally understood why Da Fei didnât let this Vice Hero make a move, not just to show off, but for fear that if she acted, she would frighten all the players worldwide! With her skill nearing Sirielâs, casually casting a fireball wouldnât instantly kill people; why even compete then?
In other words, just this one Vice Hero of Da Fei might be able to offset a lot of Sirielâs advantages, forcing Ma Yinglong to prepare for the worst.
And Siriel, after a moment of shock, laughed loudly: "Fool, do you know the great price of countering? How many times can you counter me?"
As he spoke, underneath Da Feiâs army, a massive red array suddenly appeared, and just then, another magic light flashed, and the array scattered once more!
â System Prompt: Enemy army Da Feiâs Vice Hero Selvia cast a magic counter, stopping Sirielâs spell!
At this moment, the entire Dragon Slayer Command Center was stupefied! Since when did Da Feiâs Nun Hero possess the power to contend with a hero of Sirielâs level?
