God-level Hero

Chapter 1224 - 1137: The Decisive Battle Begins Early

When the enemy troops on the city walls indeed launched an attack as Da Fei had anticipated, Li Yinzhu was shocked! The coaching team behind Li Yinzhu was even more stunned and incredulous. As coaches, they’re not afraid of a strong opponent, but rather of not understanding the situation! Right now, they completely don’t understand the situation! This is a devastating blow to the confidence of the three coaches.

On the big screen, a massive formation of black tree spirits emitting eerie green smoke charged forward, followed by nearly a hundred Sate Demons and a Demon Hero. This lineup would be quite effective for defending the city, but its impact in a charge is questionable, as the speed of the tree spirits isn’t particularly fast. What awaited them was Da Fei’s overwhelming rain of arrows.

Numerous "Puncture Damage Absorption" text leaped from the heads of the tree spirits, yet they suffered no damage! All the tree spirits were like mobile arrow targets fully shot.

"They can actually completely absorb puncture damage?!"

"New type of tree spirit?!"

At this moment, both Da Fei and the coaches, including Li Yinzhu, were astonished by this newly appeared unit! But wait! Coach Park Dong-hoon noticed something that others overlooked: "Did the tree spirits just get slowed by the arrows?"

"Really? The fog is too thick, it’s hard to tell and compare."

"Yinzhu, replay the video three seconds back!"

"Understood!"

As they watched the instant Da Fei’s rain of arrows met the tree spirit legion, everyone was shocked, "They did slow down! Da Fei’s rain of arrows can actually slow them down!"

"Is this a skill effect or a Divine Artifact? This is terrifying!"

While the coaches were still comparing in shock, the tree spirits’ roots suddenly lifted large clumps of mud filled with billowing green smoke from the ground and, like a catapult, hurled the mud towards Da Fei’s army!

"Tree spirits that can attack from a distance?!"

At this moment, Da Fei and the coaches, including Li Yinzhu, were again shocked! These tree spirits completely overturned the conventional clumsy meatshield image of the Elf Clan’s level 6 tree spirits. These tree spirits, capable of both being tough and attacking from a distance, were almost like Titans! And Titans, as everyone knows, are level 7 units players least want to face!

Boom! Splat! Mud bombardment covered Da Fei’s entire army, and the intense poisonous smoke engulfed them once more. However, it was to no avail. Facing Da Fei’s unparalleled defense and life value bonus along with disease resistance, Da Fei’s troops remained unharmed.

Da Fei immediately healed his entire army; no special actions were needed! Next, he continued shooting! These tree spirits only absorbed damage and were not immune, which meant they were not invincible. Da Fei believed his high attack bonus, coupled with the slowing effect of the Yizuer version Phantom Divine Bow, could definitely shoot them full of holes before they could get close, and he had to shoot them full of holes, as Da Fei had no other tactical options.

Indeed! With the lurking threat of the Great Demon, Da Fei’s task was to maintain formation and continue shooting, without considering retreating or kite tactics. Once the troops move, the Great Demon could instantly teleport to the vulnerable troops’ rear and teach a painful lesson within seconds! This is the Hell Race’s routine with top units like the Great Demon, leaving no room for any loopholes or fancy tactics!

The Great Demon! Instant Teleportation! These two keywords had been mastered by experts during the beta test. Yet, with a mere 200 health points, the Great Demon couldn’t afford any mistakes in operation or judgment. Moreover, with the Hell Race’s troublesome development paths, it ultimately wasn’t the best choice for large guilds’ main focus. However, due to the Great Demon’s extraordinary instant teleportation ability, Da Fei was deeply concerned about the situation in China’s Divine Punishment City.

Da Fei’s attack speed and attack indeed did not disappoint. By the fourth volley of arrows, the tree spirits at the forefront could no longer withstand such a saturating, intensive strike. Tons of damage numbers exploded over their heads, followed by—BOOM!!! With a loud explosion, the dying tree spirits blew up like bombs!

"Self-exploding tree spirits!"

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Li Yinzhu and the coaches were dumbfounded! Typically, the damage from self-exploding units is considerable and proportional to the unit’s life value. The most typical self-exploding unit is the Hell Race’s level 2 Demon Governor—a 2nd level unit with overall poor attributes, lower than some attributes of other races’ level 1 units. Yet if they got a chance to explode near the enemy formations, it was still gratifying. Once the cannon fodder successfully self-explode, the obvious follow-up is for the Great Demon to teleport and finish off the enemies.

So, even the self-explosion of the Governor can’t be underestimated, let alone this thick-skinned tree spirit! If it weren’t for Da Fei’s strong ranged firepower adequately stopping their charge, the result would be unimaginable!

This is a Demon Tree Spirit that combines the Hell Race’s self-exploding special skill with anti-ranged special skills! Such advanced tree spirits completely overturn the conventional unit hierarchy! And as everyone knows, as long as a unit appears in the game, players will definitely find a way to obtain their recruitment building blueprints, etc.

So, after the brief shock, the coaches quickly regained their composure: "Yinzhu, you must stabilize, make sure to find a way to get those blueprints in the following battles!"

Li Yinzhu nodded repeatedly in shock, "Understood!"

Meanwhile, Da Fei saw what others couldn’t in the exploding tree spirits—scattered splashes of Dark Natural Power! Attracted by the Ann Su Totem, these unleashed Dark Natural Power combined with the rolling dark clouds in the sky were continuously absorbed by Da Fei.

At that moment, Da Fei finally understood how advanced these tree spirits were! Any unit formed using such ultra-rare energies as Dark Natural Power is at least of level 8 standards.

As one tree spirit after another futilely self-exploded, the Great Demon Army at the rear of the enemy couldn’t find an opening to strike, making it a breeze to annihilate them!

At that moment, the piercing sound of horns echoed from the city walls again, and the System Prompt blared loudly:

——System Prompt: Warning! Enemy reinforcements will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds! Your campaign mission "Exterminate the invading Demon Army in the Holy Forest" is about to enter the final battle stage! Prepare to face it with all your might!

Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground in shock! Damn, aren’t we about to enter the final battle?! I thought there would at least be a major checkpoint or fortress after this! The final battle should be in the later scenes!

Confronted with the abrupt task hint, Li Yinzhu was equally bewildered, "Oppa, how could this be? Our current task should be a secondary reconnaissance! Even attacking a city wall shouldn’t immediately push the task progression to the final battle stage! The problem is, we’re still in combat, and we can’t even use the return branch to go back! Once it’s a decisive battle, can we win with just us players?"

Da Fei shook his head and sighed. No wonder the task progression became twisted due to my rampant absorption of dark power, causing both resentment from humans and gods alike. Alright! My initial plan didn’t rely on NPCs anyway, so let’s fight fiercely! (To be continued.
