Hail the King Chapter 925

Chapter 925: A Respectable Opponent 

[TL Note: This is a 2-in-1 chapter . ]

The [Throne of Chaos] was a small map that only appeared when Fei did the last quest on the last big map in Diablo World . It was a huge underground s.p.a.ce, and it had the unique and powerful suppression of h.e.l.l power, completely different from the outside world . Therefore, the person who had control over the [Throne of Chaos] would be able to s.h.i.+ft the laws in this s.p.a.ce, borrowing the power of the laws to suppress their enemies .

When Fei tried to pa.s.s through the [Throne of Chaos], that battle was fierce and challenging, and he earned this map as one of the rewards . From that point on, the [Throne of Chaos] became one of his Sun-Cla.s.s Anomalies . During the battle with Reus today, Fei used the [Throne of Chaos] which was the most wicked out of all his Sun-Cla.s.s Anomalies . Just as he expected, this place gradually suppressed Reus who was a demi-G.o.d .

The air inside the [Throne of Chaos] was red, and it contained fragmented G.o.dly power . As the owner of the [Throne of Chaos], Fei could control these G.o.dly power fragments and create a thick membrane around him, using the power of the [Throne of Chaos] to fight with Reus’ Green Light Realm . Finally, he blocked that terrifying law of extermination outside his body .

To a certain degree, the [Throne of Destruction] had surpa.s.sed the level of a Sun-Cla.s.s Anomaly and is more like a realm .

This was the only reason why Fei was able to battle with this terrifying opponent at such close range .

Mephisto was one of the helpers that Fei got by summoning it from its soulstone . After Fei completed the quest in Diablo World, he didn’t crush the soulstone that contained Mephisto’s core energy as the quest had asked . Instead, he kept it and stored it in his storage ring .

From the information that he got from that cold and mysterious voice, as long as he had this soulstone, he could summon this lord of h.e.l.l to fight for him after paying golden coins from Diablo World . He could summon this lord of h.e.l.l as many times as he wanted, and he could control it completely .

In Fei’s original plan, even though [Lord of Hatred] Mephisto from h.e.l.l Mode didn’t have the power of the legendary G.o.ds, and its power was less than 0 . 1 percent compared to his prime, this creature had some fragmented G.o.dly power and should be able to defend against the law of extermination in Reus’ Green Light Realm . However, this demonic G.o.d didn’t bring back pride . Instead, it was crushed by Reus in a few strikes . This greatly disappointed Fei, and his rating of this demonic G.o.d dropped even lower .

The fierce battle continued .

As time pa.s.sed by, Fei’s use of the [Throne of Destruction] got even more proficient; it seemed like this s.p.a.ce was becoming one with him . The king could freely control and use the G.o.dly power of h.e.l.l in this place, and the [Throne of Destruction] increased Fei’s strength by many folds . Gradually, the king obtained an absolute advantage in this battle .

“Roar!”

Fei used a.s.sa.s.sin’s skill – [Tiger Strike]

When he punched out, a white energy tiger appeared on his arm, and its roars shook Reus’ mind .

Reus was taken by surprise, allowing Fei to strike the body of the green light sword . As he didn’t let go of the sword, Reus’ body was pulled back by the sword .

Boom!

Fei followed Reus like his shadow and used the a.s.sa.s.sin’s skill – [Dragon Claw] . With his fingers forming two claws, he clenched onto Reus’ shoulders . Then, Fei’s unique technique of exerting force made half of this demi-G.o.d’s body lose the ability to dodge .

Afterward, [Fists of Fire] was used, and the king punched out repeatedly .

The mystical and terrifying flames enveloped Fei’s fists, giving them the ability to break through the defense of G.o.dly power . After hundreds of punches, a streak of blood slowly slid down Reus’ lips .

“d.a.m.n it! Unforgivable!”

Reus was also mad right now . Fei used a lot of mysterious and strange techniques, making this young lord feel weak and powerless for the first time . He wanted to fight back, but he couldn’t spot his opponent’s weakness .

Right now, Fei had entered a flow state; he wasn’t constrained by anything .

The a.s.sa.s.sin was the cla.s.s in Diablo World that focused on speed, agility, and techniques . With the [Natalya’s Odium] Item Set, Fei’s speed wasn’t slower compared to Reus’s . Also, Fei heard on Earth that a.s.sa.s.sin in Diablo was based on the mysterious Eastern martial arts, and this cla.s.s excelled at super close-range combat .

Fei continued to use all kinds of different and unthinkable techniques . These techniques were delicate, had unique force exertion methods, and included advanced footwork . With these techniques in hand, Fei was able to rush up and attack like lightning, back away like a floating feather, dodge like an agile snake, and strike like a patient alligator . In the end, Fei was so fast that even Reus couldn’t catch Fei’s position .

“This is impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible… Eh, puff!”

Since his momentum was falling, Reus couldn’t do much to get it back . Like a beast that fell into the trap set up by a hunter, Reus struggled and roared, but he couldn’t save the situation even though he tried everything he had . After becoming a demi-G.o.d, Reus was used to suppressing his opponents using his power and realm . Therefore, he was genuinely powerless in front of Fei who was unique and different .

“Dragon Flight!”

“Dragon Tail!”

“Dragon Claw!”

“Claws of Thunder!”

“Phoenix Strike!”

“Blades of Ice!”

“Death Sentry!”

“Lightning Sentry!”

“Wake of Inferno!”

“Psychic Hammer!”

“Mind Blast!”

In the end, Fei had complete control of the situation . He almost used all the skills of the a.s.sa.s.sin, and he treated this demi-G.o.d as a practice tool and increased his comprehension and proficiency of his skills .

As of now, Reus completely lost his ability to resist .

Since the skills from Diablo World didn’t have cooldowns, as long as Fei had enough mana, he could use them repeatedly . Every ten seconds, Fei would use [Psychic Hammer] and [Mind Blast] to attack his opponent’s spirit and soul . These control-type skills could make his opponent blank out from time to time and stop defending, allowing Fei to strike .

“Haha! Come out! My shadow that is hiding in the dark . I will give you my power and skills! Come and fight for me!”

As Fei summoned, a mighty warrior who was identical to him in terms of looks and items suddenly oozed out of the ground . Like a battle machine that was fearless and wasn’t afraid of pain, he coordinated with Fei and battled Reus .

This was [Shadow Warrior], a unique skill of the a.s.sa.s.sin . It can summon a shadow warrior who had all the power and abilities of the owner .

One Fei was enough to make Reus collapse . With another ‘Fei’ joining the battle, Reus’ last bit of hope broke . The injuries on this young lord’s body increased drastically . Strings of blood that contained magnificent power spilled onto the walls and ground, mixing with the other powerful blood that was already on the ancient walls, becoming a part of the [Throne of Destruction] .

Finally, Fei stopped attacking .

a.s.sa.s.sin’s skills quickly depleted mana . Fei finally used up all the [Super Mana Potions] and the [Rejuvenation Potions] that he had, and his mana dropped to a dangerous level . Also, quickly moving in battle used a lot of stamina . Right now, Fei only had one-fifth the stamina left .

Puff!

Suddenly, it sounded like something heavy hit the ground .

Demi-G.o.d Reus who was still dominating a while ago fell onto the cold floor . His body was full of injuries and dents that revealed the bones, and blood flowed everywhere, making him look like he was just pulled out of a blood pool . His handsome face was swollen and looked like a rotting peach, and his bones were almost all broken!

The terrifying Green Light Realm also became weak, barely able to cover an area of half a meter around him, looking like it was going to disappear at any moment now . The weakened realm couldn’t quickly repair Reus’ broken body, let alone the fact that Fei injected a lot of fragmented G.o.dly power of the [Throne of Chaos] into his body, making his condition worsen over time without stopping!

“Puff… Ah… Ah…”

The pride of a demi-G.o.d didn’t allow Reus to lie on the ground like a dying animal . With his shocking perseverance, Reus endured the unbearable pain and slowly got off the ground by leaning against the cold wall; this scene was unimaginable in itself .

Blood flowed out of all the wounds on his body, sliding down his legs and forming a pool of blood under his feet .

“I never imagined that… I, Reus… who dominated in the Southern Region… invincible… Haha… Ah, puff… I… Today, I lost to a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord… this… is full of irony… King of Chambord… you… you are good… A toy like you… didn’t diapp… disappoint me…”

Blood gushed out of Reus’ mouth and nose, but a proud smile could be seen on his fully-swollen face .

“The changes on the continent… are only the beginning… the disaster that happened 1,000 years ago… is about to reappear . Even G.o.ds and demons… barely… survived . Humans… how can humans… get lucky and stay intact… The ancient prophecy… one person… will step on… the corpses of many geniuses… and climb to the peak… becoming the savior… Haha… haha . The G.o.dly Realm is about to open… only the… real masters can… King of Chambord… you have hope… I will watch you… watch… from the stars’ embrace… Can you… you… Götze already set up…”

As Reus spoke, the fragmented G.o.dly power of h.e.l.l started to explode in his body, mercilessly destroying him . If it weren’t for the Green Light Realm that was barely holding on, Reus would have been turned into dust .

“Haha, finally… . Don’t need to fight for others… Don’t need to be forced to kill… Don’t need to carry the heavy burden… Completely free! Hahaha! Perhaps death is where real peace is at . I’m so tired!”

“From now on, I dictate my world!”

Reus said those strange words with the last bit of strength he had . Then, he suddenly sat down cross-legged and healed up all the external injuries with the remaining power of his realm . Now, he looked like that dominating and unparalleled young lord again .

A relieving smile appeared on his face .

Even though he was going to die, he had to maintain the dignity of a demi-G.o.d . That was why he decided to restore his former glory . He used the last bit of demi-G.o.dly core energy, and he finally pa.s.sed away .

In the next moment, Reus’ corpse shattered and turned into bright green dust . While scattering in all directions, they created various images before quickly disappearing .

In these images, Fei vaguely saw the entire life of a cute blonde boy from being born to learning to battling to getting famous to dominating and to dying gloriously . The king saw this little boy named Reus carrying the hope of his family and the expectation of the empire . He had to ignore the desire for peace in his heart and battle . He killed many people, and his hands were stained by blood again and again . He also saw his brothers and comrades die in wars one after another . To get stronger and satisfy the empire, he had to cultivate for long periods again and again . When he finally came out, his beautiful and youthful lover turned into a grieving white-haired old lady, and his parents already lay inside their cold tombs .

Reus’ life was glorious yet tragic .

All of this happened in about six seconds . In a flash, these vague images told the life story of a young lord who dominated over a region . Then, the dense green light dots dispersed into the red air in the [Throne of Destruction] .

Standing further away quietly, Fei suddenly felt very sad .

A powerful young lord who achieved the Demi-G.o.d Realm had fallen like this .

“From now on, I dictate my world!”

This sentence that Reus said before he shattered into dust resonated by Fei’s ear . Although this sentence wasn’t that convincing, it brought Fei a lot of shock when it came from a dying young lord .

Reus was a respectable opponent .

After a while, Fei finally felt that he was exhausted, and he slowly sat on a stone pillar that was laying on the ground . While exhaling, he summarized the gains and losses of this battle .

If he didn’t have the [Throne of Destruction], the secret weapon from Diablo World, and the [Scepter of Creation], his ultimate trump card, Reus would have killed him long ago . This battle was fierce, and Fei was a little scared when recalling it .

This was Fei’s first time battling a young lord . If other young lords were just as powerful as Reus, Fei being ranked last on the list of young lords was a fair representation .

Overall, Reus was unlucky .

With his demi-G.o.dly strength, he could easily crush any other Sun-Cla.s.s Lords; the Sun-Cla.s.s Anomaly could never lock down a master who controlled a realm . Unfortunately for Reus, Fei’s [Throne of Destruction] could ignore all level differences, and it swallowed Reus when he was stunned by the power in Fei’s [Scepter of Creation] .

With fragmented G.o.dly power inside it, even though the [Throne of Chaos] couldn’t count as a counter for realms, it wasn’t afraid of realms . Reus was locked inside this s.p.a.ce, and his strength was suppressed by the laws of power here which was completely different from the outside world . He battled Mephisto and Fei consecutively, and his energy wasn’t replenished . After a long while of energy expenditure, he was defeated by Fei and the [Throne of Destruction] together .

This entire process was full of coincidence and luck .

It could be said that Reus was really unlucky and meant to pa.s.s away here .

If Fei had to fight Reus again, he wasn’t sure if he would win . If any step went wrong or slightly deviated from the plan, Fei would be the person who saw the Grim Reaper .

The good thing was that Fei was greatly rewarded after the battle .
