Hail the King

Chapter 587: Bloody Book, Doomsday

This man was the emperor of the dwarfs; the crown on his head explained it.

Fei discovered that this emperor died in the most painful way possible; there was a big hole in his chest, and his heart was ripped away from his body. What was surprising was that blood was still dripping from this big wound.

Different from the 40 dwarf masters around the monument, this emperor’s corpse didn’t dry up at all. His blood was still bright red, and he looked like he was at his prime.

His eyes were wide open, and there was an angry and unwilling expression on his face. He was looking up at the sky as if there was a terrifying enemy there.

This scene was strange and terrifying.

Fei felt like someone was blowing cold air onto his neck, and all the hair on his body stood up.

Many years had passed since this dwarf emperor died, but his blood was still bright and contained energy; it felt like he was going to resurrect at any moment. It was clear that his strength was higher than the 40 dwarf masters who were protecting this monument; Sun-Class Lords were probably ants in his eyes when he was still alive. However, he was still killed by an unknown enemy and got his heart taken away; it was truly shocking.

From the look of it, it seemed like he was sneak-attacked, and he didn’t have time to react. This just went to show how powerful this enemy was.

“How powerful is that level? Gods?”

Fei felt like he understood the Azeroth Continent too little. He never thought about levels above Sun-Class Realm; he believed that the level of Sun-Class was the summit of cultivation.

From how things looked, it seemed like he couldn’t be more wrong. At least this dead dwarf emperor in front of Fei right now was beyond the Sun-Class Realm, and the enemy who killed him was even more powerful.

“Are there gods in this world?”

In myths and legends, a drop of blood from a god could instantly kill a Sun-Class Lord. What level was that? Could these gods really live for eternity?

Fei reached out his hand and lightly touched the blood on this dwarf emperor’s wound.

As soon as he touched it, he felt like his entire finger was getting burned by the hellfire; it was excruciating, and he thought he placed his finger in a pot of lava.

Even though his body was tough, a layer of skin on his finger was instantly burned off. That tiny bit of blood was comparable to the Flames of Earthly Core, and it was insane.

The result of this experiment was similar to the legend where a drop of blood from a god could kill a master.

Fei was clear that the energy contained in this bit of blood was long lost due to the passage of time, and it was no longer that powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to get within ten meters of this emperor.

Too powerful!

This dwarf emperor who died many years ago was still this powerful!

Even Emperor Yassin who said that he was inferior to no one probably couldn’t be compared to this emperor!

Fei lowered his head, and he suddenly froze.

On the stone stairs in front of this dwarf emperor, there was a pair of light footprints...... Wait, they were actually a pair of hoof prints; they weren’t left by a human. These hoof prints were about two centimeters deep into the stairs, and each of them was about 50 centimeters wide.

These two hoof prints were abrupt, and they were emitting murderous spirits, giving Fei the chills.

Fei felt like the creature that left this pair of hoof prints was the murderer of this dwarf emperor.

It looked like the enemies of the dwarfs who killed all these dwarfs at their last ancestral place were not humans but rather unknown and unidentified creatures.

Of course, all of this was still Fei’s hypothesis.

Fei finally landed his eyes on the thick book in this dwarf emperor’s hand. After some hesitation, he walked up and carefully took this book out.

He lightly blew the dust off the cover page before carefully opening the book. It looked like a diary, and it was written in the text used in the Mythical Era.

The first few hundred pages were stained by blood and couldn’t be read, and only the last 20 pages or so were readable.

“The war broke out! It finally broke out!!”

“...... The land of gods and the land of demons are both invaded by those terrifying devils. Those damn pseudo gods from another space! How dare they invade the land of gods? I curse them! These lunatics couldn’t escape the punishment from the gods! They will be wiped out for sure......”

“Damn it! How is this possible? Those dame pseudo gods have the advantage?”

“The situation is not bright. Both the gods and the demons fell into a terrible situation......”

“Ten days after the war broke out, all the affiliated races and species of the gods and demons sensed the gloomy outlook. Catastrophes continue to appear, and chaos are everywhere! I heard that the elf empire got attacked by the pseudo gods, and they suffered great casualties......”

“How is this possible? The God of Fire and the God of Magic died? Wind Demon and Strength Demon got decapitated as well? Damn! Even these deities are falling? God...... I hope the great Primordial God Fiat is still ok. He has a major god-tier combat weapon, the [Ax of Earth], with him. He is invincible, and he could defeat those pseudo gods for sure!”

“Sixteen days have passed since the beginning of the war. Today is a dark day. Unbelievable bad news came from the land of gods. The great Primordial God Fiat died in battle. God! Is the doomsday of the dwarfs coming?”

“I don’t know how to calm the empire down for the last few days. Only the Imperial Priest and I know about the news of Primordial God Fiat’s death. This news couldn’t be let out! Otherwise, the dwarf empire will collapse...... Ancestors of our Gerard Empire...... Please tell me where the destiny of our dwarfs is at!”

“Twenty-two days have passed since the war started. The Sid Empire of the elves lasted less than a day...... Did the pseudo gods get grand victories in the land of gods and the land of demons? The gods and demons disappeared, and these devils started attacking the species on the continent. They are like hungry locusts! They leave nothing behind! The Elf Queen and her priests all died in battle, and the holy city of the elves got conquered. I heard that only a few members of the royal family of the elves escaped and went to the Giant Tribe for protection.

“Today is the 30th day. After three days of battle, the Big Empire of the giants got conquered......”

“Today is the 33rd day. The empire of the ugly goblins also got conquered in three days. The magic missile launchers and the god-killing mechanisms couldn’t even stop the pseudo gods......”

“Today is the 34th day. I, Gerard Bill, the 134th emperor of the Gerard Empire of the dwarfs, gave out the war mobilization order! The unyielding dwarf warriors! The war is inevitable, and we need to fight to continue our race!”

“Today is the 36th day. The emperor of the orcs died, and the Saint Mountain Haigal of the orcs has fallen! The orcs got wiped out!”

“The flames of war finally arrived in our Gerard Empire!”

“Bad news! We did go to the underground city under the Ferren Mountain, but more than three million dwarf warriors died for their homeland!”

“Today is the 40th day. The sturdy dwarf warriors pushed back the invading forces of those devils for the first time, but we lost more than half of the soldiers and warriors......”

“We only have one last underground city left. Darkness has arrived...... I can sense the intense death sensation......”

“The Imperial Priest died......”

“Battle...... Battle...... Battle......”

“We have less than 10,000 soldiers left......”

“There are too many enemies; we couldn’t kill them all. They are rushing toward us like waves! We could only open the path that leads to the last ancestral place. I hope that godly runes engraved on the walls of the ancestral place could stop their attacks......”

“We got a moment to breathe, but there are only less than 3,000 of us left. Ten days ago, we were a huge empire that had tens of millions of members and millions of warriors...... This is an indescribable disaster! Civilizations are destroyed, and the continent is about to be shattered......”

“They discovered the location of the last ancestral place......”

“A powerful entity is attacking the ancestral place, and even the godly runes couldn’t defend against it......”

“That entity is approaching......”

“We are in a corner......”

“If anyone from later eras could see my writing, please believe that the dwarfs battled to save the continent. We may lose in the end, but the proud dwarf warriors would never admit defeat......”

“The last moment is arriving. The Gerard Empire of the dwarfs that has a history of more than 6,000 years is about to end. The 40 Godly Pillar Generals are guarding the monument of our Primordial God. I, Gerard Bill the emperor, is going to fight alongside our warriors in this final battle. I will bleed for the honor of the empire until I die......”

“Huh? Finally, a pseudo god!! That creature is really coming......”
