God-level Hero

Chapter 1353 - 1259: So He Is the Demon God Who Guards the Arena!

Nasir’s enormous strength directly scooped that blazing Phoenix Egg into his hands, like hugging a red‑hot iron brand. Nasir’s "wooden hands" immediately began to smoke and catch fire, and a string of exaggerated burn damage numbers of "Burn Damage -300!" blasted out. In less than ten seconds of bending over and turning around, Nasir had already lost nearly ten thousand Durability!

Da Fei’s eyelids twitched wildly in shock! Hugging the egg hurt way more than smashing it—this egg really isn’t something just anyone can capture! Just how freaking badass is this Phoenix?

Luckily, Tamilia immediately opened the Holy Vine Space Gate. A dozen vine tendrils stretched out from the Gate to receive it. The moment the tendrils coiled around the Phoenix Egg, there was another sizzling boom as flames and smoke burst in all directions. This scene, this damage—Da Fei could hardly bear to look!

Looks like what the Holy Vine fears most is fire, huh? Da Fei said anxiously, "Tamilia, can you handle it?"

Tamilia’s face was streaming with sweat as she forcibly drove the smoke‑wreathed vines to drag the giant egg back into the Holy Vine Space. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief: "I’ve already dragged it into the water. The flames will do much less damage to the vines there. And the Holy Vine has already fused with the Hydra Soul and has now, according to the Hydra’s affinities, birthed Dark Attribute and Poison Attribute Parasitic Vines. Theoretically, it should also be able to develop Fire Attribute Parasitic Vines. We might be able to use this opportunity of absorbing Phoenix energy to obtain a Fire Attribute Parasitic Vine. And most importantly, there are still three Great Elders in the Holy Vine Space—things shouldn’t get out of control!"

Da Fei nodded: "Good. I’ll leave the Holy Vine Space to you. The moment something goes wrong, I’ll come in immediately!"

Now that the Phoenix Egg was captured, what remained was the Demon Army swarming over from the Demon Camp.

At this moment, dozens of NPC heroes had already emerged in the Demon Army camp. These heroes were mixed into the sea of troops, commanding their forces to launch a tidal wave of attacks against Nasir and the Angel Army on the ground. This was Da Fei’s first time encountering so many Heroic Groups on a battlefield—this lineup was unprecedented!

However, the Sky Ship now existed on the level of a nuclear weapon. Da Fei simply didn’t give a damn about how many ground troops there were, never mind these NPC heroes who looked like typical tavern trash at a glance. Nothing more to say—time to fight to our heart’s content!

Da Fei passed command of all ranged troops over to Anlicia: "You’re in charge of using the ranged troops to decapitate the enemy heroes one by one!"

Anlicia responded excitedly: "Understood!"

Exactly. Having Da Fei personally pick out enemy heroes quickly in this densely packed sea of troops was actually a bit difficult, let alone dozens of heroes. This kind of micro‑operation is precisely what you dump on subordinate NPC heroes. That’s what the lightspeed reaction system is for.

The next moment, Demon Light flashed from the Sky Ship, and it directly teleported above the enemy heroes’ heads. Then arrows rained down like a storm, and pillar after pillar of white light of hero deaths shot into the sky!

Satisfying! Before the "nuke‑level" Sky Ship, war really is just this simple! Only Demon God-level Experts can stand in my way! And before a Demon God shows up, of course it’s harvest time!

As one NPC hero after another was surgically eliminated, the entire enemy army gradually fell into a "weak scrub" state with no heroes commanding them. What followed was full‑on harvest time. On deck, Selvia’s zither, Da Fei’s Sound Wave Arrows, Elena’s Chain Lightning, and the booming of the Crossbow Cannon gun cabin intertwined into one. Under the high‑ground barrage, swathes of Demon Army troops toppled like wheat before the wind. On the ground, the Angel Army, Nasir Ancient Tree, and the Lilim Sea Demons busily reaped lives.

Nasir shouted in excitement: "Nasir feels he doesn’t even need to attack. Rather than wasting Stamina and time on boring combat, might as well start eating right now!"

Da Fei laughed aloud: "All right, then eat!"

Exactly. Since the situation was already under control, they could fight and haul corpses at the same time. So, the low‑altitude gate of the Holy Vine Space opened once more, and over a hundred Evil Demon Army troops howled out. Corpse after corpse was transported in an endless stream into the Holy Vine’s intestinal space. The half‑month‑absent feast began anew!

But compared to the hundreds and thousands of enemy corpses that kept piling up, that number of Evil Demon troops really was too few! Even a thousand of them wouldn’t be enough to meet our army’s operational needs!

Anyway, there was no longer any need for the 300 Flower Demon Militia to play their flutes. All of them were sent to help move corpses.

Time ticked by second after second. More and more Demon Army units became food for Da Fei’s grand banquet, while the alarms in the Demon Army camp continued to blare shrilly. Yet Da Fei did not relax his vigilance just because the current situation was favorable. He remained on constant guard against the arrival of Demon God-level experts. The moment something felt off, he would teleport out!

Right now, Da Fei’s goal was to keep eating and keep looting, fill up the Holy Vine Space first, and there was no need—and no point—to engage strong enemies in a life‑and‑death fight.

While Da Fei was waiting, a large cluster of green dots suddenly appeared near the Pool of Radiance at the edge of the radar! Da Fei’s brows jumped—it was actually our troops!

Sure enough, under the lead of several crow Druids, hundreds of Jade Dragons swooped over! Da Fei was stunned. Was this to secure the kill? Or the tempo of a full‑scale offensive?

As he stared in surprise, those crows once again flew to the bow of Da Fei’s ship and turned into human form. They were the same Deputy Officers who had greeted Da Fei earlier. The group of deputy officers came before Da Fei excitedly and saluted: "Warrior, by order of General Ragnar, we have brought 200 Jade Dragons to support you!"

—System Prompt: You have received supporting troops from General Ragnar. 200 Jade Dragons have joined your army!

Da Fei was both thrilled and overwhelmed. So they were sending troops! But this was way too generous, wasn’t it? Even the Unicorn King wasn’t this generous! Two hundred level‑7 units—if you dragged this into a player battlefield, it’d be a total stomp‑fest!

Da Fei chuckled: "The battle situation is still unclear and yet the General has sent me so many troops. I’m really feeling the weight of this responsibility!"

The Druids said excitedly, "Warrior, the moment you made your move you captured the enemy’s Demon God-level vanguard, the mighty Phoenix Phenex. The battle has already taken a huge turn for the better! As long as we kill Phenex, this Demon Camp will have no power to stand against our army in the short term. We can seize this chance to sweep the lakeshore clean and even severely shake the Demon Race’s resolve for subsequent offensives!"

Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the floor: "Are you saying that this Phenex is the camp’s resident Demon God?"

They answered excitedly, "Exactly. Phenex is the Demon Phoenix of the 72 Pillars Demon, ranked 37th. Its mobility and Attack power are astonishing. Under normal circumstances, even driving it off is extremely difficult, let alone capturing it alive! Warrior, you’ve worked a miracle!"

Da Fei was stunned for a while, then came to his senses and burst out laughing! Here he was nervously waiting for the Demon God to deploy so he could bail, and turns out he had taken the Demon God down the moment he arrived! What’s there left to say? Wipe the place clean—scorched earth, nothing left!

Da Fei immediately traded all the Jade Dragons over to Savara and instructed, "Your specialty is commanding Dragon Clan Army. I’m putting the mopping‑up of the remnants in your hands—make it clean and decisive!"

Savara said joyfully, "Yes, my lord! I’ll circle the lake and wipe out all enemy forces!"

Excellent! With Savara’s Dragon Clan Army cleaning up the field, all my human-shaped troops can be freed up to go all‑in on corpse transport! To clear out and rapidly digest this entire Corpse Mountain, the pressure on me is huge—wahahaha, same old rule: start with the High-level Soldiers’ corpses first.

Now the whole battlefield was choked with smoke and buzzing with activity. Once Da Fei had stabilized the situation on site, he couldn’t wait to rush back to the Holy Vine Central Village to check the progress. As soon as he entered the village, he heard that rolling, bubbling sound like boiling water.

Da Fei’s heart tightened. He looked up and sure enough saw an area in the center of the Holy Vine Lake seething with bubbles.

At this moment, the three elders sitting by the Wine Pool laughed: "Warrior, don’t worry. Although we can’t directly help you kill enemies on the battlefield, once they enter the barrier we’ve set up, they can forget about escaping easily. Everything is under our control right now; eliminating this Phoenix is only a matter of time!"

Tamilia flew over excitedly to report the good news: "Reporting to my lord, under the suppression of the three elders, our Holy Vine has already begun to overcome the damage from the flames and has started siphoning its energy!"

So this is the rhythm of eating a boiled egg, huh? I’m about to snag another God Slayer achievement! Da Fei laughed loudly: "Many thanks for your hard work, elders!"
