Hail the King

Chapter 847 - Crisis Approaches

Chapter 847: Crisis Approaches (Part One)

“This sure fit D’Alessandro’s personality. He is an egomaniac, and the people around him are not much better. Do they really naively think that a disciple of the Continental Martial Saint and more than 40 masters who are on and above the realm of Moon-Class can dominate the Zenit Empire? Do they really think that they could destroy the Royal Family of Zenit?”

Fei sneered after hearing what Modric said, “They divided into two groups? Hehe, we don’t need to worry about the group led by D’Alessandro; there will be people who can handle them. In terms of the group led by Albeda, hehe... inform Mr. Brook and Mr. Bast, and tell them to send the masters of Chambord to ambush them! I want to see them lose half of their people before they reach the territory of Chambord! We will see who are fortunate enough to see our Chambord City!”

“As you wish!”

[Young Man] Modric instantly became high spirited. The confidence that the king demonstrated made him, a loyal subordinate, believe in the kingdom even more. Therefore, he immediately turned around and passed down the king’s command.

Soon, several dark-red hummingbirds dashed into the sky. As they chirped, they jumped into the void like fish into the water, quickly disappearing as they traveled through space.

After Modric organized everything, he returned to the room, thought about some issues, and suggested, “Your Majesty, the group led by Albeda is nothing to be worried about, but the group led by D’Alessandro is the truly terrifying force. According to the information that we gathered, this No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint perhaps has reached peak Burning Sun Realm, and he said that he is invincible in the Northern Region of Azeroth. The Moon-Class Elites who came with him don’t pose threats, but we have to be careful of this person.”

Fei lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he said, “You are right, but don’t underestimate the power of the Royal Family of Zenit. Don’t change the setup of our forces in St. Petersburg, and order the members of the [Letter Office] to pay close attention to the group led by D’Alessandro. Report as soon as something seems off.”

“As you wish.” Modric knew that the king already made plans, so he calmed down and left the room.

“Wait for a second!” Fei suddenly called out and stopped him. The king reminded Modric, “Tell everyone to be more careful; we only need D’Alessandro’s rough whereabouts. Tell them not to monitor too closely just in case that D’Alessandro spots them.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will send the best scouts to do this.”

“Eh, sounds good. Still, safety first!”

“As you wish!”

Modric turned around and left the room.

Fei slowly sat back in his chair and tried to think of ways to handle what was about to occur.

He had seen D’Alessandro’s strength at the bottom of the sea. Except for Evil God Kluivert and Continental Martial Saint Maradona’s vague shadow, this No.2 Disciple of Continental Martial Saint Maradona was the most powerful warrior that Fei had ever encountered. Also, his strength was either at peak Burning Sun Realm or above, and Fei was no match for this person with his current power excluding the [Scepter of Creation].

However, D’Alessandro’s arrival was an opportunity for Fei.

In this environment, the various forces inside the Zenit Empire would express their stances more clearly, and Fei would be able to see where people’s minds were. Also, Fei never got a good grasp of Emperor Yassin’s strength. Since D’Alessandro came to Zenit so aggressively, he and Emperor Yassin were going to collide forcefully. Perhaps Fei could get a good observation this time.

After thinking everything through, Fei put things aside and entered Diablo World to kill monsters and level up.

He had been locked inside the [Sad Sign of Godly Grace], and he had wasted a lot of time. Before the real challenge came, Fei had to increase his strength as fast as he could.

...

Chapter 847: Crisis Approaches (Part Two)

When Fei tried to break through the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace], Fei spent a lot of experience points and summoned [Lord of Pain] Duriel. As a result, his strength dropped a little.

Right now, Fei appeared at the [Hellforge] which was where he had to go to complete the second quest on the Fourth Map.

The [Hellforge] was located deep into the [River of Flames], and it was heard that this was a part of hell. The lava was rumbling out of the ground and flowing on the land like a river, and the high heat made the lava as runny as water. Anyone below the realm of Six-Star would be instantly turned into a pile of coal.

Except for this river, some human souls were trapped on the ground by black demonic chains. The hellfire was burning these souls, and they could never escape. They let out a series of horrifying screams, and the scene was terrifying.

Fei appeared here alone.

Although this wasn’t his first time coming to the [River of Flames], the realness in Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode couldn’t be compared to Hell Mode. When Fei set foot in this dangerous place, he felt like he was inside the real hell.

Valkyrie Elena was the main force of Chambord in dealing with the group led by Albeda. While Undead Mage Hazel Bank and the few elders of the [Black-Cloth Shrine] stayed hidden, the Chambord Kingdom had to rely on her, so she didn’t have time to company Fei in killing the monsters.

In the previous battles, Fei already obtained Mephisto’s Soulstone, and his mission in coming here was to kill a terrifying demon who was deep into the [River of Flames]. Fei had to kill this demon to obtain the Hellforge Hammer which was the only thing that could crush Mephisto’s Soulstone.

On the path formed by the solidified lava in the [River of Flame], there were a lot of monsters and demons, and they could unleash terrifying power. Facing the [Abyss Knights] that could use physical attacks and magic spells, the many [Blood Maggots], and the sturdy [Pit Lords], Fei didn’t dare to be overconfident even though he was dominant. He summoned all the items in the [Immortal King] item set, and he marched forward.

After spending about two hours, Fei finally battled through these monsters and found the Boss that had the magical hammer. This demon looked like a muscular bull, and it was green. It had a lot of strength, and many monsters and demons followed it. It was hard to deal with, and Fei was only able to kill it after drinking 18 bottles of [Full Rejuvenation Potion].

A lot of experience points entered Fei’s body as golden light dots, and the experience points that the king lost due to summoning Duriel were replenished. As a result, he went back to level 70 and regained his strength.

After taking out Mephisto’s Soulstone which confined one of the three lords of hell who represented prime evil, Fei picked up the Hellforge Hammer before placing the soulstone on the unique altar. Just as Fei was about to smash down and destroy it, completely wiping out Mephisto, a surge of spirit energy suddenly dashed out of the soulstone and conveyed a message.

Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.

After about ten minutes, Fei made the decision.

He didn’t destroy Mephisto’s Soulstone. Instead, he placed it back into his storage space.

Then, the king continued to kill monsters and demons in Diablo World and went onto the [Terror’s End], the last quest on the Fourth Map.

He had to go into the [Chaos Sanctuary] which was at the bottom of hell. This place had the largest number of terrifying demons and monsters, and Diablo, one of the three lords of hell whose nickname was Big Pineapple, was being sealed here.

[TL Note: Diablo sounds really close to pineapple in Chinese, so that is why a lot of Chinese players call this Boss that name.]

Fei opened the five seals one after another, and a lot of monsters and demons appeared when each of the seals broke. Diablo would only appear after all the seals were broken and all the demons and monsters were killed.

After battling for six hours, Fei only opened four seals and killed the monsters and demons that came with them.

Now, Fei was at Hell Mode level 72.

After picking up the various items on the ground, Fei turned to the [Pandemonium Fortress] and sold them to the NPCs before exiting the game.

...

The sky was brightening up.

Some stars were still flashing in the pale-blue sky, and the land was gradually waking up from the darkness.

The territory of Chambord, a level 1 affiliated kingdom of Zenit, was less than 50 kilometers away. Suddenly, 25 various colored light beams dashed through the sky like meteors, and they headed toward Chambord with powerful auras on them.

They were the powerful masters who were going to wipe out the entire Chambord Kingdom under the lead of Sun-Class Lord Albeda.
