Chapter 99

The mutually full-blooded combat of slashing each other continued for several rounds.

Currently, Da Fei did not plan to use the flower spirits in the barracks or the魅皇 (Charm Emperor) in the sky to help. In the face of the opponent's ironclad defense and blood-sucking special ability, low-damage units posed little threat and would instead make it nervous and flee. If it wanted to run now, Da Fei definitely couldn't stop it. If that happened, all his efforts would be in vain.

The key was that this was a hero, not an ordinary monster boss. Its tactical level was at least as high as that of players, if not higher, in terms of operation. As for intelligence, who knew? If it had high intelligence, once Da Fei failed this time, he might never have another chance to lure and kill it. This would be a significant threat that could affect the success or failure of the entire epic quest.

Therefore, this time, Da Fei had to succeed and could not fail!

The spider, using its massive size, pressed forward step by step, seemingly trying to push Da Fei back into the water.

Tsk! I've never won a chess game against a computer, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You're trying to kill the healer! Da Fei immediately directed Serbia to move away from the water.

As soon as Serbia moved, the spider's body flashed red, and its giant pincers suddenly accelerated—Da Fei was so shocked that his balls almost flew off!

It was actually the signature orc skill, Berserk! It was taking advantage of the healer's momentary gap to kill instantly! Damn, what a two-for-one! If the healer doesn't move, you kill the healer. If the healer moves, you kill me!

But I still have a healer! The forest goddess, who had been hiding in the air, took action! Although her advanced healing spell lacked mana, it could still support me for a while.

"−52" "＋30" "−62" "＋30" "−71" "＋30"

Each strike was faster and more vicious than the last. Just when it seemed hopeless,

—System Notice: Your secondary hero Serbia has cast a Master-level Light Magic healing spell on you, restoring 109 HP!

(Note: Basic healing restores 10 + 5 × mana, Intermediate = 20 + 5 × mana, Advanced = 30 + 5 × mana, Expert = 40 + 5 × mana, Master = 50 + 5 × mana)

Ha! Hahaha! Did you really think I would take risks without any tricks up my sleeve?

—System Notice: Your Intelligence Analysis skill has discovered the opponent's weakness. Your attacks will now ignore 25% to 50% of the opponent's defense.

Da Fei laughed out loud! This isn't because I discovered your weakness, it's because you exposed it yourself!

Berserk itself has the side effect of reducing defense and stamina. Then, it was caught off guard by my godly skill, which exposed a new weakness. This is a double weakness! Indeed, a fly won't enter a seamless egg. Under normal circumstances, the Intelligence Analysis skill wouldn't have a direct effect, but once the opponent is in a negative state, the skill would take advantage of it.

Da Fei thrust his spear, "−22!"

I dealt double the normal damage! This is exactly the effect of 20 attack, meaning its defense dropped to 0! Ha, what can you do now!

Clearly, the spider hero immediately realized it was in trouble. It raised its big butt, turned around, and started climbing up its silk elevator, trying to escape!

Da Fei's eyes widened in shock! Even if I sacrifice all the flower spirits, I won't let you escape!

Da Fei waved his hand, "Surround it with all forces!"

Hundreds of flower spirits swarmed out of the barracks, forming a black cloud above it. The swarm of flower spirits surrounded it in layers, showering it with lime and pollen!

—System Notice: Your flower spirit troops' Swarm Magic skill is ineffective against this hero!

—System Notice: Your flower spirit troops' Pollen Swing skill is ineffective against this hero!

—System Notice: Your Charm Emperor troops' Seduction skill is ineffective against this hero!

Damn! High attack and defense, blood-sucking, and immunity to toxins and mental effects are one thing, but immunity to the swarm and pollen that the flower spirits rely on for survival is another! Such a formidable enemy, how could I let it escape!

Without hesitation, Da Fei leaped forward and grabbed one of its hind legs: "Want to run? Not that easy!"

But the spider hero was determined to escape. Even with Da Fei dragging it down and under the attack of the flower spirits, its silk elevator still slowly ascended! Damn!

Da Fei looked around in a panic. The Flying Number was sailing back with full sails, but it was too late. Perhaps it was running because it saw the Flying Number returning? How cunning and cautious!

What to do, what to do! Serbia didn't follow up. If it takes me to its nest in the sky and fights me there, I won't have anyone to heal me, and no matter how many troops I have, I can't beat it!

How can I bear this? My epic quest was going so well, and now it might be ruined by this spider? Am I not a skilled player?

I won't accept it! Elevator rule one: Don't jump!

I will jump!

Da Fei dragged its thick leg and bounced a few times, but it was no use!

Hmm? Wait! What's the point of me jumping alone? Let's all jump together! Da Fei immediately called out to the flower spirits, "Stop fighting and let's play your favorite game, swinging on the swings! Come, let's push forward together!"

Aren't flower spirits the fairies in fairy tales who love to chase and play in the air, swinging on vines? Can you understand what I mean? At least the word "swing" should be in your programming, right?

Sure enough, the flower spirits, with their advanced AI, quickly understood and called out to the others, "Come, let's swing together!"

In an instant, the battlefield lost all its killing intent. The flower spirits laughed and pushed the spider's massive body, tilting it away from the vertical angle, and the spider's climbing speed suddenly slowed!

It worked! Da Fei laughed and bounced harder, "Swing! Swing hard!"

The flower spirits worked even harder. The spider swayed like a pendulum, swinging more and more violently, lower and lower, and the silk stretched longer and longer. It couldn't climb up anymore! Jump into the pool! Ha, hahaha!

—Battlefield Information: Target is within range of your Phantom Crossbow!

Very good! You are so worthy that I will send you off with my Phantom Crossbow! Da Fei immediately dismissed the flower spirits and shouted excitedly, "Fire the cannon at me!!!"

From a distance, two arrows glowing with white light drew a beautiful arc and whistled up. The arrows from the Phantom Crossbow indeed turn!

Closer! Da Fei felt the cold frost and the wind pressure that made it hard to breathe. This is what it feels like to be hit by a crossbow!

Bang! Bang! Ice and blood splattered! The giant spider's body exploded in mid-air, and Da Fei, still holding onto its thick hind leg, fell into the sea.

—System Notice: Congratulations! You have killed the epic hero "Aged Knox," gaining 230,000 experience points! You have obtained Knox's hero inheritance scroll, a B-rank strategic treasure "Spider Demon Armor," and a C-rank strategic treasure "Cliff Walker Backpack"!

—System Notice: Congratulations! You have achieved the "Victory in the 4th Campaign" achievement, gaining +10 leadership.

—System Notice: You have completed the hidden side quest "The Shadow Catcher" in the epic quest "Purification of the Light Pool" ahead of time, gaining 200,000 experience points, opening the flower spirit race's reputation, and your current reputation with the flower spirits is "Adored"! You have obtained the spider demon race's information, and your current reputation with the spider demons is "Hated"!

—System Notice: Congratulations! Your secondary hero Serbia has leveled up to level 23!

...

Killed! Not defeated?

Da Fei, who was eagerly watching the system notices, was stunned by the red "killed" word specifically highlighted by the system!

Aren't heroes immortal? Don't they just return to the tavern or altar to be resurrected? How did you kill a hero? Aged Knox? Could it be that this hero was set by the quest to be nearing the end of its life? Damn, the legendary hero inheritance was even revealed, so it must be dead for sure. I must have hit the retirement home on the southern mountain!
