Hail the King

Chapter 574: Sweep

“You...... this...... you......” this burly holy knight was stunned; he almost couldn’t speak.

He couldn’t understand the amount of murderous spirit that this young man released.

“He was suppressed by the power of the [Templar Battle Seal], but he suddenly broke loose. Even if he started killing people and beasts as soon as he was born, he couldn’t have killed tens of millions of creatures in just 18 years. How could he have an amount of murderous spirit similar to the infamous killers on the continent?” he thought.

There was no way for him to know that Fei’s murderous spirit came from Diablo World and not the Azeroth Continent.

Ever since the discovery of Diablo World, Fei had killed at least more than 100,000 monsters. However, these monsters weren’t ordinary creatures but demons from hell! They were powerful and murderous, literally the synonym for viciousness and cruelness.

On top of that, Fei had killed bosses in the Normal Mode such as Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, and Baal. They were powerful demons and could be considered as deities and gods in hell. By killing them, Fei was killing gods!

After killing so many powerful demons and even the deities in hell, the amount of murderous spirit Fei accumulated could be even turned into tangible objects!

However, the murderous spirit was insanely powerful, able to harm the soul of anyone who was close to him. That was why Fei rarely used his murderous spirit in the real world. However, since he was sneak attacked by these masters of the Shiye Shrine from the Northern Holy Church, he had to use it.

Fei knew his paladin character well. As a result, he understood holy power and figured out its kryptonite.

There were only two things that could counter the holy power that originated from the gods – death energy and murderous spirit.

At the moment, Jessie and Alan were present, so Fei didn’t want to reveal to them that he obtained death energy. Therefore, he could only resort to his murderous spirit.

Although the murderous spirit wasn’t as effective at destroying the holy power as the death energy, it was more than enough from this experiment.

After testing it out, Fei now had another way of dealing with the masters of the Holy Church on top of using his necromancer character. It was a lot safer for him.

On top of everything else, there was still that mysterious stone pillar inside his body. Therefore, Fei didn’t even need to worry about Sun-Class Lords, let alone these mid-tier Half Moon Elites and their [Templar Battle Seal].

For the last while, Fei had been thinking about improving the combat abilities of the warriors of Chambord, and he focused on battle arrays. If he could create a battle array that could be used by several Moon-Class Elites, they might be able to defend against a Sun-Class Lord. Then, even if Fei wasn’t at Chambord, the top leaders at Chambord could deal with Sun-Class Lords and protect the kingdom.

Therefore, after seeing the [Templar Battle Seal], Fei decided to place himself in danger and let [Templar Battle Seal], one of the ten punishment battle arrays of the Holy Church, touch him. He wanted to have a clearer understanding of how the energy operated inside this array, and he wondered if he could copy the key points and modify them into something that he could use.

Overall, what Fei got out of it was worth the risk.

“Damn! Damn it! Go! Let’s go!!! Retreat!”

After the initial shock, that burly holy knight woke up and screamed. He turned around and dashed away as his body turned into a beam of light; he was going to disappear into afar soon.

Now, he understood that the King of Chambord was acting weak, but his actual strength was far beyond them. Just the power hidden in that huge war hammer was more than what he could deal with! If that hammer came down on him, he would be killed.

Balesi, on the other hand, lost his confidence and dashed away as well without making a sound.

How could Fei let them get away?

“Hahaha! You guys came with domination, but you are running away with tails between your legs? It is too late! Just stay!” Fei waved his hand, and a green scroll shot out, turning into a dash of silver light. It soon caught up with that burly holy knight who was retreating.

“What is this?...... Damn it!” that holy knight shouted.

As soon as that beam of light caught up, it turned into a transparent bubble and locked him up; it looked just like one of those bubbles created by a playful child with dish soap but just more massive and stronger.

The bubble looked weak since the layer was thinner than paper, but it blocked off everything. It didn’t matter how much that burly holy knight tried to break free; he couldn’t damage this bubble for one bit. In the end, the bubble slowly floated back and landed in front of Fei.

By now, Fei already flew out and returned.

In his hand, it was Priest Balesi who was pale and had a resentful expression.

All of the five masters of the Shiye Shrine, the most prominent shrine in the Northern Regional Church, were either killed or captured. On Fei’s side, except for Jessie who was injured, no one else was harmed.

Torres was already used to this.

Fei’s most trusted guard had the confidence in the king, and he felt like there was nothing that the king couldn’t conquer. After all, he had seen similar cases multiple times.

However, Louise, Pato, and Brand had never seen it before!

Before, they only heard about how powerful their king was from their instructors and other residents. However, even the best poems and descriptions couldn’t give them a vivid impression. Now, they finally saw it happen with their own eyes!

The shock they experienced when witnessing their king’s domination in battle made them admire Fei even more. They saw him as an idol before, but they felt like worshipping him now.

They were so impressed that their minds ignored the fact that Fei destroyed three Moon-Class Elites of the Holy Church easily! This news would stun the entire Zenit Empire!

“It was too fast, and the video quality isn’t high. However, it is still enough to show off to our classmates! Haha! I have recorded His Majesty’s presence in battle, and it is one of a kind!” Louise, who was clever, already recorded what took place with a divy crystal.

The nightly wind blew by, and it was chilly.

The residual holy power dispersed into the area before turning into its elemental form and dissolving into the air.

“King of Chambord, you will regret this. Hehe, don’t think that you will win again! You are already the target for the Shiye Shrine and the Bishop of the Northern Reginal Church, Mr. Platini. You will be burned alive on a cross sooner or later! Your luck won’t be this good all the time...... Hehehe, I curse you, your loved ones, and the people you value. I hope the important people in your life all die in front of you. The kingdom that you try to protect dearly will also be turned into a forbidden land filled with skeletons......”

Balesi knew that his end was near, and he wasn’t hoping that he could live.

Therefore, with his hoarse and dry voice, he screamed and cursed. His words were vicious, and his tone was chilling, making people shiver in fear.

Before he could finish, his body got instantly enveloped by a cloud of blood mist. Blood flowed out of his eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears, and the wicked smile on his face froze. Then, his head fell back; he was dead.

He chose to kill himself.

For the last while, the holy power and the death energy had been fighting in his body, torturing him on a daily basis. Now that Fei captured him, he had no hope in getting revenge. Therefore, this priest who was vicious to others and also vicious to himself decided to commit suicide.

Just the second before he lost his consciousness, he thought back to the night at Chambord’s campsite near St. Petersburg half a year ago.

A strange thought appeared in his head, “If I can turn back time, I wouldn’t have made the King of Chambord into my enemy because of that girl named Angela......”

Fei sneered and didn’t say anything.

He squatted down and placed his palm on Balesi’s corpse; he only calmed down after making sure that this priest was 100% dead this time.

At the same time, Fei made a discovery.

A strange expression appeared on his face as he murmured to himself in a low voice that only he could hear, “No wonder...... I punctured through his left chest last time, and that damage to the heart would even kill a Sun-Class Lord. He lived because his heart was grown on the right side of his chest. This rare condition saved him!”
