Hail the King

Chapter 687: Power of the Stone Crusher

As soon as Fei finished speaking, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand’s expression changed.

He tried to sense the amount of holy power in his body subconsciously, and he was instantly shocked as his face turned pale.

After fighting with those monsters using his semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon, the [Black Reef Staff], he had less than two-thirds of his holy power left in his body.

What was even worse was that he couldn’t even replenish his holy power! When he tried to absorb the holy elements in the air, those elements didn’t respond at all!

This phenomenon could only be explained by the fact that he was inside someone else’s Sun Anomaly!

"This is indeed the King of Chambord’s Sun Anomaly," Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand finally realized this.

However, the power and strangeness of this Sun Anomaly were beyond his most pessimistic estimation. In his world, only the legendary peak Burning Sun Lords could comprehend all the laws of nature and create such real Sun Anomalies with living beings in them.

With strength like this, the powerful masters were able to stay above the laws of nature and act like G.o.ds!

"Could it be that the King of Chambord had been hiding his strength all this time?" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was shocked even though he tried to act calm. As he unleashed his holy power and grasped onto the [Black Reef Staff], he raised his guard and started to think about how he could get away.

Since he knew that he couldn’t defeat the King of Chambord, he no longer wanted to fight, and all that he could think of was to get away.

"What is this Sun Anomaly? Since it is so evil, you must have become an undead mage! I advise you to let me go! If you do that, I will ignore what happened, and I won’t tell others about it. In terms of Queen Angela, the Holy Church will also stop intervening," Senxi said powerlessly with his lips twitching.

Admitting defeat toward Fei was a ma.s.sive shame for him.

However, the current situation wasn’t in his favor, and he was in real danger. Therefore, he had to drop the dignity as the bishop of a shrine and beg for peace.

After a short pause, he added, "I’m the bishop of one of the five most prominent shrines in the Northern Regional Church, and I’m of prestige status. If you kill me, the Holy Church will get mad for sure. King of Chambord, even though you are powerful, you couldn’t bear the consequences. By then, wars will be waged against Chambord, and blood will create lakes. I’m sure that is not your end goal, right, Your Majesty?"

Fei started laughing.

He was sharp; how could he not tell that Senxi was in no mood to battle?

"Since you started all this, how do you feel asking for forgiveness? I won’t let you go. However, since you are admitting defeat, I will give you one opportunity. Since battles are still going on in the outside world, let’s determine this battle with one strike! If you are still alive after we each use a strike, then I will let you leave my Sun Anomaly, the [Den of Evil]. Otherwise, it would be the decision of the G.o.ds to let you die here!"

As soon as Fei said that, he waved his hand, and a huge war hammer that looked like the weapon of a giant appeared in his hand. The hammer had a terrifying aura around it as if it were an ancient beast, and its body was in a dark-red color; no one knew how much blood it had drunk from powerful masters.

The patterns on it were complicated, and people would feel like this hammer could suck away and crush their souls.

This was [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher].

Senxi’s pupils instantly contracted. With his abilities, he could tell how unique and impressive this war hammer was.

With this hammer in hand, the young king’s aura grew by several times, and the shocking pressure coming off him made Senxi a little breathless. Just the wind created by Fei’s aura was suffocating him.

Since Senxi knew that he couldn’t get away from this battle, he unleashed the full power of the [Black Reef Staff] and roared, "Alright! I will take on your strike! I hope you would keep your words after this!"

With the semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon in his hands, Senxi was confident that he could take this hammer strike from Fei.

"As a king, I never go back on my words! Stop the talking and take this!" Fei shouted back as he unleashed the full power of h.e.l.l Mode Barbarian.

In a split second, he dashed in front of Senxi as if he teleported, and the hammer crashed down at Senxi with Fei’s both hands on the handle.

Under a vast and indescribable power, Fei and the [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] became one.

As golden, holy energy flames enveloped them, the head of the hammer drew an arc in the air. Vaguely, a golden dragon was formed three meters around the hammer, and this dragon opened its mouth and roared, intensifying the pressure that was coming off Fei.

This strike was one of the most powerful skill of Barbarian, [Leap Attack]! After defeating Ancient Korlic in Nightmare Mode, Fei earned the inheritance of the skill, and this skill leveled up even more.

The power of the [Leap Attack] that was being cast using the [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] and the strength of a h.e.l.l Mode Barbarian was beyond Senxi’s imagination! He was shocked!

He clearly saw the s.p.a.ce between the King of Chambord and him getting folded like a black piece of wrinkly paper under the power of this strike. Just like a wrinkly paper, the s.p.a.ce could be torn apart at any time!

When facing this strike, Senxi felt like doomsday was coming!

"The G.o.ds in heaven, please protect your most loyal servant...... King of G.o.ds’ Shield! Holy Shield! Brilliant Shield! Cleansing Shield! Protection of the G.o.ds!!!!!"

As Senxi’s long white hair fluttered crazily in the air, and his white robe made a series of slapping noises, he put all his holy power into the [Black Reef Staff] which looked like an ugly burned stick; he knew that this one strike was going to determine his fate!

Instantly, holy silver statues of G.o.ds appeared by his side one after another, and the [Black Reef Staff] flew out of his hand and shone brightly. Its ugly burned-like look was changing as if it was reborn, and the black outer sh.e.l.l fell off, revealing its final form.

It was a silver, crystalized staff that was about 1.5 meters long and had a thickness of an infant’s arm. All kinds of pictures of mythical legends of the Holy Church were engraved on it, and many silver runes flowed around the staff like small dragons. The top of the staff was the 20-centimeter-tall statue of an unknown G.o.d, and this G.o.d was wearing a G.o.dly robe, holding a staff of his own, and had his eyes wide open, looking inviolable.

Then, layers of silver energy spheres appeared in front of Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand one after another as if they were huge holy shields.

They were the five most powerful defensive techniques of the Holy Church, King of G.o.ds’ Shield, Holy Shield, Brilliant Shield, Cleansing Shield, and Protection of the G.o.ds.

In the blink of an eye, the hammer smashed onto these shields forcefully.

Crack! Crack! Crack!!! A series of crackling noises sounded.

Under the attack of the huge hammer, these most powerful defensive techniques of the Holy Church cracked one after another as if they were made from gla.s.s.

King of G.o.ds’ Shield, cracked open!

Holy Shield, cracked open!

Brilliant Shield, cracked open!

Cleansing Shield, cracked open!

Protection of the G.o.ds, cracked open!

In just a few seconds, all five shields were shattered.

Senxi was terrified, and he could only raise the [Black Reef Staff], which was in its final form, to block that hammer strike! It felt like that hammer contained the power of the Grim Reaper!

Bam!!!!!!

An indefensible power was unleashed onto the [Black Reef Staff], and it was pa.s.sed into Senxi’s body next.

Puff! As Senxi spat out a mouthful of blood, the bones in his arms were all shattered into dust, and the [Black Reef Staff] flew out of his hand.

Then, his body flew back like a straw in crazy wind and smashed onto the wall of the cave.

Crack! Crack! Crack! More bone-crackling noises sounded.
