Hail the King

Chapter 573: Power

“He defeated a top-tier Full Moon Elite with only one hammer strike! How?” the other three holy knights shivered as soon as they thought about that.

They knew the holy knight, who got destroyed by the King of Chambord, too well.

They didn’t expect that the No.1 Moon-Class Elite in the most prominent shrine in the Northern Regional Church, the Shiye Shrine, to be severely injured by someone who was a lot weaker than him! After all, this man was the Moon-Class Elite who was the closest to the realm of Sun-Class in the Shiye Shrine.

“Quick! Use the power of the [Templar Battle Seal]! Use it to torture him!!”

As soon as his arms were destroyed, the pain instantly told this burly holy knight that he made a huge mistake in judgment. He used the last little bit of logic he had in his mind and made the best decision.

In this situation where the power dynamic between the two parties switched, the only chance they had was to use the [Templar Battle Seal] to fight the King of Chambord who was much more powerful than they expected. Otherwise, even though the other three holy knights were great masters, they weren’t strong enough to handle the King of Chambord’s hammer.

As soon as the burly holy knight said that, the other three holy knights already injected their holy power into the [Templar Battle Seal].

They had been fighting alongside each other for a long time, and they could coordinate with each other perfectly; it was almost an instinct of theirs.

Silver holy runes intertwined with each other and formed many vein-like branches. As if they had minds of their own, they wriggled on the grasses and coiled toward Fei.

Then, a series of holy and purifying chants resonated inside the battle seal; it sounded like gods were muttering and angels were singing.

There was a unique power inside this sound, affecting people’s souls. Like a lullaby, it would lower the battle-hungriness, awareness, and resistance of their opponents, giving the holy knights the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to their enemies.

As if the chants were magical, they ignored other people and all went inside Fei’s ears.

Soon, Fei stood still and closed his eyes; it looked like he was mesmerized by the ‘music’.

Then, the huge war hammer in his hands was slowly lowered to the ground.

Dashes of silver flames climbed up Fei’s body like greedy blood-sucking veins through his legs as well as the [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher]. Each one of the flames was a holy rune chain. They all contained natural laws, locking Fei down completely. In the end, except for Fei’s head, his entire body was tied up by them. He was wrapped by white flames, and he looked like the prey of a spider that was packed by white spider webs.

“Hahahaha! I will torture you myself!...... Hahaha, King of Chambord, you are done! Ever since you were locked inside this [Templar Battle Seal], your death was unavoidable! Although your strength is far beyond our estimation, the result will be the same!” that burly holy knight shouted; his arms were now soft and dangling off his shoulders

Beside him, Balesi was trying to help him heal as he chanted a spell and released his holy power.

“His Majesty...... he......” Louise, Pato, and Brand all got nervous for Fei again.

The changes in the battle happened too fast, and it made these three kids very anxious. They felt like their hearts were in their throats, ready to jump out of their mouths at any second. In addition, they were so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.

The scale of victory was slowly tilting toward these holy knights and Balesi.

“Hehehehe...... you are dead!” Balesi’s vicious and ear-piercing laugh sounded as he stared at Fei with hatred.

“Capture him! I will cut off his arms slowly piece by piece! I will let him experience the feeling of wanting to die but can’t die!!!”

With his arms destroyed, that burly holy knight was in a lot of pain, and his face twisted. His righteous facial features now looked vicious and wicked under the light of the silver holy power!

That unique, god-muttering-like chant became clearer and clearer. It could destroy anyone’s resistance!

The terrifying holy runes started to work toward Fei’s head......

The other holy knights finally calmed down, and they felt relieved. The anxious and nervous expressions on their faces turned vicious, and they already started to fantasize about what they could do to the King of Chambord once he was captured.

“Damn, this is disappointing! Is this the so-called [Templar Battle Seal]?” Fei suddenly opened his eyes and asked. His eyes were so clear that it didn’t look like he was affected by that chanting at all.

“What?” the holy knights were shocked; they realized that stuff was about to go down.

“Eh, the so-called [Templar Battle Seal] is just average. I am disappointed by its power. How come you guys thought that it could constrain me?” as the king shouted, red dots started to appear on the silver holy runes that wrapped around his body as if they were being stained by something. Soon, all the silver holy runes were turned completely red!

“This is...... murderous spirit! Such a terrifying amount of murderous spirit! Only the God of Killing who had killed millions of creatures could obtain such a terrifying murderous spirit!” That burly holy knight and Balesi were dumbfounded. “This...... how is this possible? The King of Chambord is only a young man who is about 18 years old! How...... how could he kill so many creatures and take so many lives?”

Boom!

The red flames around Fei’s body turned into a light beam, and it shot into the sky and collided with the energy sphere created by the [Templar Battle Seal]. The huge energy waves even made the ground shake violently.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The holy runes that wrapped Fei up tightly broke and shattered like dried leaves after they changed color. Under the impact of the energy waves, they turned into dust before disappearing.

“You...... you didn’t dodge because you want to test the power of the [Templar Battle Seal]? You...... this is crazy......” Balesi couldn’t even place a full sentence together. Fei left a nightmare in his mind already, and he was now on the verge of mental collapse after the plan he was so sure of fell apart.

“It is too late now! You wasted too much time, and I should put an end to all of this!”

As Fei’s cold and murderous voice sounded, the hammer in his hands moved. As if Fei mastered the shadow clone technique, people who were watching felt like Fei turned into three as three shadows rushed toward three different directions.

“No!!!”

“Save me!!!”

“You can’t kill me! I’m from the Holy Church...... AH!!!”

Three horrifying screams sounded from the left, right, and back. At the same time, those three shadows didn’t hesitate or show mercy. Three hammers were waved, and three cracking noises sounded.

As if three eggs were smashed by rocks, these three holy knights who were all Half Moon Elites exploded, and three clouds of blood mist appeared alongside with chipped bones and torn flesh......

Then, those three shadows of the King of Chambord disappeared slowly.

Fei was still standing in his old spot, and it seemed like he didn’t even move.

Shadow clone technique?

No!

It was just that Fei’s speed was too fast, and he left a series of afterimages in the air. He attacked each of the holy knights individually, but his insane speed couldn’t be caught by ordinary people. Therefore, it created an illusion, making people feel like he mastered the shadow clone technique.

The silver holy runes started to disappear, and the silver energy sphere that enveloped the area faded and collapsed.

After those three holy knights died, there wasn’t enough holy power supporting this [Templar Battle Seal]. Therefore, one of the ten punishment battle arrays of the Holy Church got countered.
