God-level Hero-Chapter 275 - 255 Vortex Sea Demon: Calubidis

North Sea, Day 15 of the return voyage, the brief Arctic summer had ended, and the Ice Sealing Period had come again, with fierce cold winds howling between the sea and the sky. Da Fei’s fleet was returning at full speed amidst the roaring cold winds.

Da Fei had already snapped out of the exhilaration from the overwhelming victory in the preliminary competition. The noisy flattery from the guild, various continuous comments on the forums, the television news reports, the congratulations from the Dragon Slayer Leader and the Star Goddess, the title of world’s number one amateur player, etc., all were fleeting! Hahaha!

Brother didn’t give you a penny for publicity fees, why are you hyping me up so much? Brother’s biggest wish is just to return home safely.

And now, the Frostwind Strait was right in front of them.

Here it comes! The smooth journey without any Sea Monsters made Da Fei uneasy, being too normal was indeed abnormal. This was the only place in this sea area that could ambush the fleet. Would the Sea God annoyingly ambush at the same spot twice?

The flagship Radiant Wings sent a signal again: Pass through the strait, keep up at full force, battle alert!

Da Fei was nervously watching the sky, watching the sea surface. There were no dense clouds like the last time, nor was there heavy fog. So, only Sea Monsters then? But it’s okay, now the Radiant Wings is equipped with a Six-headed Sea Demon Statue and a Narwhal Horn; it has completely transformed. Moreover, to use the Dragon Bone Rune, Brother also sent Anlicia to the flagship. If any Sea Monster dares to block the way, just activate the Charging Rune and speed up to smash it!

The fleet was sailing at full speed through the strait, every sailor’s nerves were stretched tight as a string.

—Creak! Suddenly, a slight sound came from the hull, and Da Fei felt the Octopus slightly deviating in its course.

Da Fei was startled, was something going to happen?

—Creak! The sound grew louder, and the hull shook slightly! At the same time, a red light exploded on Da Fei’s screen!

—System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A large whirlpool detected ahead of the hull, please immediately perform an emergency maneuver!

Da Fei’s heart shook violently! A whirlpool! The whirlpool has finally come to me! Da Fei shouted, "Signalman! Order the fleet to avoid the whirlpool!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Avoid? How to avoid? Charge through? Turn? Brother has no clue! Watching the waves beginning to surge on the strait’s surface, watching the increasingly deviating bow, Da Fei desperately turned the rudder, his sweat dripping down! The only hope was relying on professionals like Catherine and Coltner!

Soon, the signalman rushed in again, "Captain, flagship’s instructions, make a sharp turn, and rush out at full speed from the counterclockwise edge of the whirlpool! Right now!"

So it was a charge! Da Fei suddenly felt relieved! It turns out the NPCs know what to do! Counterclockwise? Which way? To the right? Whatever, just follow them!

The sea surface’s whirlpool roared like thunder, the center began to sink. The whirlpool was getting faster, the pit deeper, the rotating area bigger, almost blocking a large part of the strait’s channel! This whirlpool was so alarmingly large!

Fortunately, Da Fei discovered it in time, and the fleet responded quickly; the fleet had already reached the current edge of the whirlpool!

Just then, the two Dragon Bone Masts on the Radiant Wings flashed a red light! The fleet’s speed suddenly increased!

—System Prompt: The flagship Radiant Wings has used the Charging Skill, speed increased by 30%, duration 30 seconds!

May the Sea God bless me! Da Fei immediately activated the Emergency Acceleration Skill on the Octopus.

The vortex grew larger and larger, completely blocking the channel and engulfing the entire fleet in its currents! The fleet struggled valiantly within the vortex. Da Fei’s heart leaped to his throat, so tense he couldn’t breathe!

At this moment, Da Fei’s Octopus vessel made a thunderous noise under the push and shove of the vortex. Da Fei was certain that if not for the Octopus’ Emergency Acceleration Skill’s poor turning defect, it would have been the first to be swallowed by the vortex; sometimes, a flaw can actually be a lifesaving advantage!

The vortex spun faster, and the fleet’s speed increased — right! Whether it’s clockwise or counterclockwise, the initial direction of entry must align with the direction of the vortex, that way the fleet could use the vortex’s thrust to break out! Just like discus throwing!

The fleet increasingly veered away from the center, and breaking free seemed hopeful! Da Fei was so ecstatic that he couldn’t help wanting to jump up!

Just then, a dull roar came from the center of the vortex at the seabed: "Don’t think you can escape!" A red light exploded in front of Da Fei again! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

— System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A powerful enemy is about to appear, please prepare for battle with all your might!

Da Fei was terrified; it was a Sea Demon! In that instant, a huge red cloud appeared on the radar mini-map at the seabed, its size as large as the vortex itself! It completely covered the strait’s channel!

Now, Da Fei could see a blood-red massive "land" rising rapidly from the seabed, Da Fei was utterly shocked, what an enormous, world-shocking Sea Demon! In front of such a large Sea Demon, comparable to an island, the fleet was like... it was like a fleet moored at the island’s dock...

Da Fei could no longer find words to describe his feelings at this moment, his momentary euphoria of apparent victory plummeted to rock bottom.

Indeed, was this Chamber of Commerce revival task of mine too ahead of its time, too fatal? Did I escape the first only to be caught on the fifteenth? Would my achievements in the North Sea all be in vain like drawing water with a bamboo basket?

It’s close! Finally seen! That red thing was an abyssal crack-like huge mouth! Finally, Da Fei had found words to describe his feelings, and it was summed up in one word — damn!

— Splash! The sea surface violently trembled, a giant ring of water surged to the sky, and the world suddenly darkened!

Da Fei, of course, knew what had happened; it was that his entire fleet had been swallowed by the Sea Monster! Even "swallowed whole" was an understatement for its appetite!

Man, it’s game over.

A dull voice echoed in the dark world: "Mortal, to perish within Calubidis’s belly is your honor, and in a day, you will be crushed and recycled along with this trash! You may also try to escape, but up to now, only the hero Odyssey has succeeded."

— Clang! A loud noise came from the darkness, indeed the sound of crushing objects.

Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched in shock! Calubidis! The Vortex Sea Demon from the Greek mythology "Odyssey," a good neighbor of Skira! Just now he called me a mortal? Does it mean it’s also a Demigod? My God!

At this moment, the fleet’s searchlight turned on, illuminating a huge, continuously writhing red meat tunnel. Needless to say, this was its mouth.

The fleet was in a pool of water inside its mouth, surrounded by mountains of debris filled with various shipwrecks and sea monster remnants.

— Clang! Another loud sound, a pile of debris at the end of the garbage mountain fell into a deeper throat-like meat tunnel under the flow of water, the sound originated from there!

Holy crap! Turns out this Demigod is also an environmental worker! Judging by its waste disposal progress, it looks like tomorrow will be my turn, means I still have one day left!

After all, no matter how the game screws over, it couldn’t possibly not give players a chance. That clanging hole of his certainly isn’t the way out. So there’s only one solution left, fire all Crossbow Cannons, blow up its mouth! (To be continued.
