Hail the King

-Five Sword Sky Mountain, Sky Castle-

Fei sat on [The Throne of Chaos]. After a long while, he opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. He nodded in satisfaction and was pleased with the progress with his spirit energy.

Since his wedding was approaching, there were a ton of elite soldiers and masters residing outside of Chambord. Although they said that they were here to congratulate the King of Chambord on the wedding, no one knew what their real intentions were. Therefore, Fei had to increase his strength as well as his subordinates’. They had to be prepared for what was to come.

Therefore, for the last while, he was busy getting his strength up.

At the moment, his spirit energy finally reached level 900, and he was able to scan an area of six kilometers around him. Also, his spirit energy was strong enough to be condensed. According to the methods on the mysterious purple scroll, he could already start practicing the secret techniques. He was able to solidify his spirit energy into weapons and pierce others’ minds. It was quite lethal.

At the same time, Fei’s actual strength increased a lot as well since he battled monsters in Diablo World every day.

He already completed all the quests on the fourth map, [Pandemonium Fortress], and he killed the final boss on the map, Lord of Destruction – Diablo. In addition, he completed the first four quests, [Siege on Harrogath], [Rescue on Mount Arreat], [Prison of Ice], and [Betrayal of Harrogath], on the fifth map, [Harrogath].

Right now, the strength of Fei’s barbarian character was Nightmare Mode level 98, and he was only one level away from the peak level 99.

While completing the last quest, [Terror’s End], on the fourth map, Fei and Elena opened the five seals inside the [Chaos Sanctuary]. They killed the Lord of Destruction, Diablo, and its demons, and they earned a lot of rewards. Fei got insanely lucky this time, and he got two green set items.

One of them was the gauntlets in the [Immortal King] set called [Immortal King’s Forge – War Gauntlets], and the other one was the armor in the [M’avina’s Battle Hymn] set called [M’avina’s Embrace – Kraken Shell].

These two items were both very important to Fei and Elena right now.

Currently, Fei already had two items in the [Immortal King] set which were [Immortal King’s Soul Cage] as well as [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher]. Every component he could get would push it more toward completion, and the combined power would get even greater. The difference between having two items and three items in the set was huge!

In fact, just the properties of this [Immortal King’s Forge] was surprising on its own.

[Defense: 430, Durability: 50, 12% chance to cast level 4 Charged Bolt when struck, +65 to Defense, +20 to Dexterity, +20 to Strength, + 10% life steal, +10% mana steal, +25% attack speed, +6 freeze targets……]

All these properties almost blinded the king! This set of gauntlets was at least five times more powerful than all the magic gauntlets that Fei used before!

Now, Fei had three items out of the six in the set, and he was only missing the belt, the helmet, and the boots. The magical power of this item set was already showing its fangs! When the three items appeared on Fei at the same time, a silver, holy light would shine, and it would give pressure to all Fei’s opponents, affecting their minds and judgment.

[M’avina’s Embrace – Kraken Shell] was significant to the Valkyrie as well.

Since Elena already got [M’avina’s Caster], which was the bow in the item set, she was now able to use partial powers of this top-tier item set for Amazon Characters with the addition of the second item.

Just the armor alone offered more than 1,000 defense points, and the additional magic damage reduction, the increase to skill levels, and more powerful properties made it one of the best magic armors in Diablo World.

Therefore, after killing Diablo in Nightmare Mode, both Fei and Elena experienced a huge jump in strength. Because of this, they were able to easily complete the first four quests on the fifth map and level up incredibly fast in such a short time.

When Fei’s barbarian character reached Nightmare Mode level 98, Elena reached Nightmare Mode level 78. She was equivalent to a level 8 low-tier Full Moon Warrior in the real world, and even Lampard couldn’t be matched to her. In terms of elevation speed, she was only after Fei, and it was truly insane.

The rewards Fei got from completing the first four quests on the fifth map weren’t poor.

In the second quest [Rescue on Mount Arreat], the 15 barbarian warriors Fei got from Normal Mode experienced increases to their strength. They were all equivalent to Seven-Star Warriors, and they had basic intelligence as well as combat instincts. Also, the summon limit increased to three times a day. Of course, if they died in battle, Fei would need to wait for 24 hours before he could summon them again.

In the third quest [Prison of Ice], Fei got a magic scroll that could permanently increase all his resistances by 10%. He didn’t use it right away, and he stored it with the same scroll that he got after completing this quest in Normal Mode. These two trump cards were key in battle! If Fei could use them properly, they could turn a losing situation around quickly.

As he sat on [The Throne of Chaos], he went through everything that he got in the last 12 days systematically. Then, he looked outside the [Godly King Palace], glanced at the green mountains behind Chambord, and started to plan out his wedding.

Suddenly, Fei discovered something. He raised his eyebrows, stretched his finger, and shot out one silver sword energy.

“Eh? So reckless! How dare you come here?” That silver sword energy shone in the sky and quickly disappeared like a firework.

At the same time, a vague figure who suddenly appeared in the sky above the 12 Golden Saint Mountains after a series of transparent ripples was thinking about something. He was about six kilometers away from Fei, and he suddenly sensed a terrifying murderous spirit. His skin and soul were hurting, and his expression changed.

“No! King of Chambord, please show mercy. I’m……’

Bam!

Before this person could finish, that silver sword energy passed through this person’s body quickly without mercy like a bolt of lightning, and this person’s body instantly expanded outward before exploding like a balloon. Along with broken armor pieces and cloth, there were blood drops and chipped bones falling from the sky!

He was a Moon-Class Elite, but he got instantly destroyed!

It was an instant kill over six kilometers away!

With Fei’s current strength, he could easily kill Moon-Class Elites.

“This is so annoying! He is the fourth one in the last ten days! They are really fearless! Since they are here to congratulate me on my wedding day, they should stay at their campsites. Why do they have to do sketchy things around here? Do they really think that Chambord is easy to bully? Since you guys dare to enter the restricted area, then I shall kill you!”

Fei was really angry as he stayed in the [Godly King Palace], and frustration that he had been holding back for many days was shown.

Out of the guests who resided either inside or outside Chambord City, some of them weren’t behaving. They tried to mess around, and Fei already warned them in secrecy and punished the more aggressive ones. By doing that, he deterred many more people from doing similar things.

However, the Moon-Class Elites who were arrogant completely ignored the king’s warning, and they still went to places that weren’t opened to them. As a result, Fei was enraged, and he sat on his throne in Sky Castle and killed the ones who crossed the line.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!” Chubby Little Raccoon suddenly appeared in the palace.

As if this little guy sensed that its master wasn’t in a good mood, it rolled its eyes and picked a white flower from somewhere. Then, it jumped onto Fei’s shoulder and pushed the flower under Fei’s nose, winking at Fei and trying to comfort him.

“Your little joker!” Fei laughed, lifted Little Raccoon into the air, and lightly patted Little Raccoon’s butt.

The little white flower released a light fragrance, and it was clear that it was a rare herb. Fei felt very relaxed just smelling it.

It seemed like Little Raccoon, which was a Treasure-Seeking Beast, didn’t get its nickname for nothing. It would ignore regular treasures, and only rare, god-tier treasures could attract its attention.

After rubbing Little Raccoon’s chubby cheeks, Fei spread out his spirit energy and scanned the area around him. He clearly monitored the cultivation progress of the warriors of Chambord.

Fei nodded and thought with a smile on his face, “These men are practicing diligently. The godly herbs already refined their bodies, and their strength increased by a lot. People like Cech are already pretty powerful, and they are very close to Moon-Class.”

Fei’s wedding day was close. Once the warriors of Chambord showed everyone their strength, people would be shocked!

“Huh? Inzagi…… He is really talented, and he shouldn’t be like this…… Why is he not progressing at all? Could it be……” Fei suddenly sensed Inzagi’s aura and discovered something strange.

“Go get Inzagi.” Fei patted Little Raccoon’s head.

This little guy was brilliant. He instantly understood what Fei meant and dashed out of the palace after it squeaked.
