Chapter 651: Sudden Appearance (Part One)

"What… What are those symbols?"

"The stars in the sky could combine into so many vivid images? Is that a cow? Or cattle? A demon beast that is human on the top half but horse on the lower half? Oh, is that a huge crab?"

"What is going on? Why did the sky suddenly darken? These stars… Who can tell me what is going on? I have never seen anything like this before! What are these symbols?"

"The gods are showing their powers! This is a miracle!"

"Waah, the great gods, are you finally going to bless your followers?"

"These constellations and patterns never appeared before… This… Such mysterious power; it is as vast as the universe. Ancient, prolonged, deep… Could it really be the power of the gods?"

Both ordinary people and the mighty warriors were stunned by this since they had never seen this happen. It was the first time in their lives that they saw something this mystic.

Only the citizens of Chambord weren't that anxious and nervous.

They experienced something similar when Lampard advanced into the Moon-Class Realm…

"Which master advanced successfully this time?" they thought.

All the citizens of Chambord were shivering in excitement, but they all ignored the outsiders who wanted to ask them about what was going on. They have already learned the idea of 'national confidential information' from their king, and they would never tell others about what was going on under normal circumstances.

Just as what they had anticipated, the phenomenon that appeared once before showcased itself again.

As if gods were issuing commands in secrecy, all the bright stars in the sky started to dim one after another. This scene was magnificent and unbelievable.

"Who could have the power to command the stars?" they thought.

In the end, only a few hundred stars were still shining brightly in the sky, forming several perfect constellation images.

These constellation images emitted tens of thousands of starlight beams down on the continent, and they all landed in the direction of the 12 Golden Saint Mountains. Then, streaks of golden energy flames shone from the mountains, shooting back at the stars, lighting up the darkness together with the colorful starlight.

This beautiful scene was too dreamy, and many people believed that only the gods could create it.

In just a dozen seconds, the stars in the sky formed six different constellation images, and all the light beams condensed into six as well, pouring down the sky and into the six sword-like mountains in the back of Chambord City like golden waterfalls.

Then, the sky brightened again, and everything returned to normal.

After a few seconds, the sky went back to its clear blue color, and the clouds reappeared.

The sunlight came back and shined on the land, bringing warmth to everyone, and the spring breezes felt comfortable and not chilly at all. The beautiful spring showcased itself in front of everyone, making people feel like what happened was just their hallucinations.

The people at Chambord City started to murmur amongst themselves.

All the envoy groups from various empires and affiliated kingdom, as well as the mercenary groups, were confused, and they all wondered what just happened.

"What is the power that caused that mystic phenomenon?" they thought.

As warriors, they were very sensitive to energies fluctuations and powers, and they clearly could tell that when the darkness enveloped the land and the starlight shined down on the continent, a type of power that never appeared on the Azeroth Continent before showed itself. It was an ancient and mighty power that came to this land abruptly.

The origin of this phenomenon was the mountains at the back of Chambord City, but no one dared to enter that restricted and deadly area anymore.

Chapter 651: Sudden Appearance (Part Two)

In the last dozens of days, various forces had sent their masters into the back mountains to investigate while ignoring Chambord's warning, and there were Moon-Class Elites among them.

However, the people who walk into the back mountains never came back out. After having several Moon-Class Elites disappearing in that area, no forces wanted to take the risk to see what was really behind Chambord anymore.

Even though people believed that it was the King of Chambord who killed those Moon-Class Elites, they couldn't do much. After all, they were in Chambord's territory, and the back mountains were the restricted area. It was them who broke the rules, so they couldn't bring this matter up to the king.

Therefore, the mountains at the back of Chambord City became a dangerous place that could change people's expressions when it was brought up in conversations.

What happened today instantly made all the forces to use their intelligence networks to get information about the phenomenon.

This sudden change made the people who were making plans in secret have an ominous feeling. Therefore, they wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Even though Chambord City seemed upbeat and celebratory at the moment, there was a huge storm brewing in the darkness.

-Inside a quiet courtyard at Chambord City-

There were four mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] standing each side of the gate, and they looked quite vicious. It was clear that they were on their guards.

Many people were in the courtyard.

The man with the cross scar on his cheek and the red bandana on his forehead was sitting in the middle of a big stone desk, and he was talking to the people around him.

Since they were mercenaries who traveled around and took jobs in wars between empires, they were filled with murderous spirit and viciousness.

Some of them had swell marks on their cheeks, and they were the people who were threatened by Owen this morning in the restaurant.

"What is that chick from the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] thinking? Why does she want to go to that place to meet? Otherwise, we wouldn't have caught the attention of the people from Chambord City!" A mercenary growled, "However, that mage chick is hot! Her figure is perfect, and her skin is so smooth. Damn! If I can ride her once, I'm willing to die afterward!"

The other mercenaries all laughed recklessly after hearing that, and only that man with the cross scar on his face looked worried as he frowned.

This man's eyes shone as he looked at four wooden beams that were glaring a little in the yard; he didn't participate in the spicy and lewd discussion with other mercenaries. Ever since the meeting in the restaurant this morning, they listened to the command of their superiors, and they had been staying at this courtyard and didn't leave.

However, for some reason, he still felt like people were monitoring them.

"We shouldn't stay here anymore! I have an ominous feeling, and we must leave! Tell the brothers to hide and go into stealth the old way, and let's make our move when the [Dragon Hunt Operation] initiates tomorrow…" the man with the cross scar on his face said nervously as he suddenly stood up and slapped the stone table.

The mercenaries who were engaged in the spicy topic were surprised, and someone asked, "Captain, everything seems normal up to this point. I think you are a bit too sensitive…"

"I hope it is just me being too sensitive," the man with the cross scar frowned and said, "But…"

At this moment, he suddenly shut his mouth, and his pupil instantly contracted. As his expression changed, he grabbed onto his weapon and looked in the direction of the gate.

The other mercenaries who were sitting by the table were confused, and they looked in the direction of the gate as well.

Then, they were all shocked, and they jumped up and grabbed their weapons with hostility on their faces.

They weren't sure when he had arrived, but a man was standing by the gate of the courtyard in silence.

Chapter 652: The Beginning (Part One)

He was a man who they were familiar with.

He was a man who they could never forget.

He was Michael Owen, one of the [Four Spikes] under the command of the King of Chambord. Even though he was only a young man who was about 14 years old, he looked quite mature. This arrogant black knight from the morning already switched to a tight-fit warrior suit that was made from the fur of an unknown demon beast, and he looked very impatient as he stared at the mercenaries like a beast that was looking at his prey.

"Mr. Owen, how come you are here?" the man with the red bandana and the cross scar asked emotionlessly. At the same time, his grip on his war blade tightened, and he made a hand gesture behind his back.

The more than 20 mercenaries in the yard spread out in silence, and each took a position. They formed a vague array formation, surrounding Owen in the middle.

"[Dragon Hunt Operation]. What is this operation that you just mentioned?" Owen frowned and asked as if he didn't notice the changes around him.

[Dragon Hunt Operation] was the only useful phrase that he heard after hiding in this courtyard for more than ten hours. If this captain who had the red bandana didn't discover the strangeness and wanted to move out, he wouldn't want to come out this quick and disturb them.

The captain of the mercenaries licked his blade and suddenly smiled viciously. "Since Mr. Owen wants to know, we will tell you. It is simple! We are going to hunt down and slay the evil dragon that is known as the King of Chambord!"

As he said that, the red warrior energy flame started to shine on him. Also, the mercenaries surrounding Owen also closed the distance between them and Owen quietly.

"Oh, since you are willing to talk, why not say more?" Owen also licked his weapon, which was a black dagger, as excitement appeared on his face.

"If you want to know this much…. Hahaha! Ask the Grim Reaper in hell yourself! Hahahaha! [Fire Python's Kiss]!"

The man with the cross scar on his face suddenly attacked, and heavy blade in his head turned into a huge fire python. This was the illusion created by the Five-Star Combat Technique, and it made a series of deep muffled noises as well, enough to disturb opponents' mind.

This python made from fire dashed forward in an unpredictable pattern as its belly rubbed against the ground, leaving deep trails in the ground.

It quickly approached Owen, and it opened its big mouth and flicked its tongue, biting toward Owen mercilessly with the fire-elemental warrior energy.

At the same time, all the mercenaries in the yard jumped at him.

This was a battle array the mercenaries in the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] used frequently. Even though it wasn't complex, it was effective. Many people could use it at the same time, and their powers would be increased by many folds temporally. If the timing was right and they were in place, they could even kill Moon-Class Elites. They rarely missed their target.

The violent warrior energies instantly enveloped Owen.

The man with the cross scar was thrilled, but a gust of cold wind blew by his back. He instantly felt like a poisonous snake was targeting him, and the chilling and dangerous sensation overflooded his nerves.

"Damn it; he has helpers… Damn it!"

At this moment, this captain of the mercenaries finally understood that Owen wasn't working alone. He had comrades who were also hiding in the dark, and they suddenly targeted him and struck toward him.

At this critical moment, this man with the cross scar no longer had time to deal with Owen. His warrior instinct made him retreat for a few steps, and his blade turned by 180 degrees and struck behind him from a strange angle.

Since he was a mercenary who danced on the verge of death, his reaction speed was insane!

He did all that in one go without any delay as if he had practiced this move hundreds of times.

However, all of that was useless.

After he reacted in a speed that even himself was satisfied with, that chilly sensation behind his neck didn't go away at all.

Chapter 652: The Beginning (Part Two)

There was a short pause, but that chilly sensation appeared on his neck. As a cold blade pressed against an artery on his neck, a casual voice sounded by his ear, "Move if you want to die."

This voice sounded ethereal, and it felt like it was from a hermit who saw through life.

From the beginning to end, the man with the cross scar on his face didn't know who this deadly assassin was.

Without their captain who was the key force in this battle array, the mercenaries weren't able to operate the array in full effectiveness.

Without control, the warrior energies around Owen weakened, and he was able to dash around like a phantom. Every time he made a turn like lightning, an experienced and vicious mercenary would fall quietly without having the ability to fight back.

It seemed like the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]'s battle array was within their opponents' expectations.

In fact, it felt like Owen understood this battle array better than the mercenaries! He was able to calculate and catch the weaknesses of this array formation that would only exist for a split second, the more than 20 elite mercenaries who were chosen for this operation all lied on the ground.

As he sensed the chillness by his neck, and the man with the cross scar on his cheek was furious but couldn't do anything.

Owen stopped moving and stood still after he did all that, and he licked his black dagger habitually as he looked at the captain of these mercenaries in mockery and disdain.

"Who! Tell me who are you!" The man with the cross scar on his face felt like his heart was sinking little by little, and he asked the man who was behind him.

"One of the [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord, [White-Suit Spike] Gonzalez Raul," that ethereal voice sounded by his ear.

-In the backyard of a unique-looking hotel at Chambord City-

"Hey, I already told you that this place is reserved for the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group]! It doesn't accept other guests! Hey, are you deaf? Why are you still walking in? Stop! I'm talking to you! What is going on? Stop!"

Two cute female mercenaries in tight-fit clothes chased after the three strangers who walked through the gate without saying a word. The two of them quickly caught up and blocked them with weapons in their hands, and they observed these three unwelcome guests in hostility.

"Little girl, you better move. I'm here for your captain." Among them, the thin and tall young man who looked 15 years old smiled and showed his pearl-white teeth.

"Humph! Do you think you can see our captain just because you want to?" the girl with short red hair replied angrily.

"Yeah! Tell us who you are first! I will put your name in line! When our captain is free, we will let you know. We already kicked out more than 100 obscene men like you! If you want to pursue our captain, go look in the mirror first!" the other girl who had her long black hair into a ponytail also added.

"I can't do that. I'm afraid that you guys will try to run away after I tell you our names," the thin and tall young man winked at the two girls.

"Who do you think you are? Our captain couldn't run from anyone!…" the cute girl with short red hair said with disdain. However, she wasn't dumb, and she understood something in the next moment. As she pulled the sleeve of her peer, she gave the latter a warning glare and pulled out her sword.

"Tell me! Who are you guys!" she said viciously.

"Alright, Lisa, let the three honorable guests in." At this moment, a crisp yet soft voice sounded from the backyard. Then, a beautiful woman who was wearing a black mage robe and had a colorful parrot-like demon beast on her shoulder walked out.

Chapter 653: Never Go Easy on Beautiful Woman (Part One)

"Captain Laura, they…" The girl with the short, red hair tried to explain.

"Hehehe, girl, they are masters under the King of Chambord's command. How can you stop them? Move away quickly, or these misters might punish you…" This beautiful mage slowly walked up and brought a gust of fragrance with her. She frowned a little and asked, "You three are?"

"Philip Inzagi, the first disciple of King Alexander. We are here to ask Captain Laura about the [Dragon Hunt Operation]." The handsome young warrior who was standing between the other two stared into the beautiful mage's eyes as he said slowly with a calm temperament.

Just as expected, as soon as she heard the term [Dragon Hunt Operation], Laura's pupils instantly contracted.

"Mr. Philip, what are you talking about? I don't know anything about [Dragon Hunt Operation]. Eh, are there still dragons on this continent? Didn't they go extinct a long time ago?" Laura quickly calmed down, and she replied with a bright smile on her face. As she did that, she played with her silver hair, and her eyes glared.

Inzagi frowned. "Captain Laura, I know that you are quite good at lightning-elemental magic spells, and your technique, [Nebula Chain Lightning], is rumored to be invincible under Seven-Star. However, I would advise you not to trust your strength too much and try to buy time for the reinforcement of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], unless… you want the entire [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] to die alongside you right now!"

The smile on Laura's beautiful face froze for a second, and her slender and smooth fingers that were playing with her hair also stopped moving.

The two young female mercenaries who acted vicious a moment ago all understood what was happening even though they seemed a bit slow in the head. The short red-haired girl and the black-ponytailed girl looked at each other and slowly moved toward the backyard, trying to notify others and let them get ready.

However, two figures suddenly appeared behind them.

"Little girl, you aren't obedient." The thin and tall young man smiled again and showed his white teeth that would make people jealous, and he introduced himself friendly, "Nice to meet you. My name is Ed Kawani, and you can just call me Kawani. I'm one of the [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord's command, [Smiling Spike]."

The other young man who was also thin and tall but looked serious spat out a few words as well, "[Silent Spike], David Tray."

The two girls looked at each other with cautiousness in their eyes. They snorted lightly and didn't say anything.

Tink! Tink!

With serious and cold expressions, they pulled out the rapiers by their waists and pointed them forward with silver warrior energy flames around them.

They weren't weak; they were at least Two-Star Warriors.

However, since they were stunned by Kawani and Tray's speeds, they didn't dare to make a move first.

"I heard from a while ago that the King of Chambord is a genius warrior himself, and he has many talented subordinates. I didn't believe it at first, but now I know that the rumor isn't exaggerating at all. In fact, it even understated the power of Chambord a little." The beautiful black-robed female mage who was silent for a while suddenly smiled, and she relaxed as well.

With a less serious tone, she said to the three young men, "Don't tease the girls. If you want to know about the [Dragon Hunt Operation], I will go with you guys and explain everything."

"Captain Laura, no, you can't go! You…" The short red-haired girl got anxious and tried to stop Laura.

"Let us fight with these bad people! If we hold them until the Group Leader gets here, they will be beaten!" the black-ponytailed girl shouted heroically.

Female Mage Laura lightly shook her head.

Chapter 653: Never Go Easy on Beautiful Woman (Part Two)

She didn't expect that the King of Chambord's people would get here so quick, and they are daring enough to directly come at the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], the no.2 mercenary group in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit.

"The Chambordians are faster and more upfront than I expected…" Laura thought.

Regarding resisting and fighting back… She thought about that as well.

Unfortunately, when she played with her hair a few seconds ago and tried to activate a magic item that was made into a hairpin, this young man whose name was Philip Inzagi instantly discovered it and warned her.

This surprised Laura, and she thought, "This young man is too powerful! His god-tier weapon-like aura locked me down from the beginning, and he closely monitors any of my movements. As soon as I do something strange, his murderous spirit would instantly envelop me…"

It was too dangerous for a mage to have an agile assassin within three meters of him or her.

Laura underestimated her opponents this time.

Even though she was very experienced, she didn't discover that these three young men with no warrior energy fluctuations on them were actually powerful masters.

"They are much more dangerous than I anticipated… [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord's command? Spikes of assassins? They have insane stealth techniques, and they were able to hide their energy fluctuations and fool me…" Laura thought.

"I'm afraid that I can't allow that, Captain Laura. Out of the 35 people in the yard, except for the three grooms who don't know anything, all of you need to come with me. Don't try to resist; this yard had been closely monitored, and none of you can defeat me unless your group leader is here," Inzagi said mercilessly; he would never go easy because his opponent was a beautiful woman.

He was willing to take out and exterminate anyone who was trying to scheme against King Alexander.

The members of this team that belonged to the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] had no choice.

The few people who tried to resist and escape were all captured, and everyone got their warrior energies and magic energies locked down.

The beautiful Laura was more focused on. Locks that could suppress magic energies were placed on her wrists, ankles, and neck, and she was asked to get on a big carriage with her team members before it was sealed up.

Then, the carriage moved forward quickly for about 40 minutes.

When the door of the carriage reopened, the mercenaries of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] got off the carriage and were surprised to find themselves in somewhere dark.

The faint silver lights coming from the walls, the chilly air, and the dripping water sound all told them that they were in a magical underground tunnel.

"Let's go!"

Inzagi led the way with no emotion showing on his face, and he walked toward the depth of this tunnel.

The dark surroundings, the gloomy sensations, the terrifying silence, the powerless feelings, and the possible horror that was about to come… All of these made the mercenaries fell unease since they didn't know what was about to happen.

The short red-haired girl and the black-ponytailed girl pressed their bodies against Laura as they shivered.

Soon, they saw lights at the end of the tunnel.

Then, terrifying screams resonated in the area, and it sounded like the cries of an injured beast. It seemed like a poor soul was being interrogated, and the bloody smell permeated the air.

They walked out of the tunnel and was in a big underground hall.

There was a dark-red magic light in the ceiling, turning this space bright red. It felt like there was blood everywhere, giving chills to the mercenaries.

There were all kinds of strange and blood-stained interrogation instruments placed around the hall in an organized manner, and the smell of blood was even more intense here.

When Laura's eyes landed on the person who was being interrogated in the center of the hall, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was slightly shocked.

Then, she calmed down as if she thought everything through.

Chapter 654: Pull Them All (Part One)

The man who was being interrogated was Captain Balio, the leader of one of the ten elite teams of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the person who met up with Laura at the restaurant this morning.

"He was already captured by the masters of Chambord!" Laura thought. After the initial surprise, this beautiful mage realized that since she and her subordinates were captured here, the elite team of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] must have been arrested as well.

"Now all of this makes sense. Our locations and the information about the [Dragon Hunt Operation] are all leaked by these mercenaries of Wind Horse. They couldn't endure the interrogation, and they gave out all the key information," she thought.

In the far end of the hall, there was a row of prison cells, and more than a dozen elite mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] were locked up there, and their clothes were stained by blood. They were the people who met up with Laura this morning, and they were all arrested with no one escaping successfully.

As a great mage, even though her peak Five-Star magic energy was locked down by the magic locks on her body, her eyes were still sharp. With the help of the red light in the hall, she was able to see the vague and flashing magic runes that were engraved on the stone walls.

Under the empowerment of the magic runes, even regular mud walls could become tougher than steel and incredibly difficult to destroy.

What surprised this beautiful mage even more was that even though she mastered all kinds of magic runes, she couldn't understand the runes that were engraved on the walls nor could she comprehend the magic pathing theories behind all this. She felt like these runes were similar to the legendary magic runes from the Mythical Era where it felt like each rune had a life of its own. All the runes were expanding and contracting in a unique pattern as if they were breathing. As it moved, the ancient magic energy sensation would appear and disappear as a result.

"The Chambordians are too powerful and too resourceful! How? This prison is so tough that probably a Moon-Class Elite couldn't even break it!" Laura was shocked by her discovery.

Behind her, all the mercenaries of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] were shivering with pale faces.

There were all kinds of strange interrogation instruments around, and they made these newcomers feel desperate in silence.

Each of the instruments had blood on it, and they made the mercenaries understand the feeling of being interrogated by just looking at them; they knew that it would be worse than death.

In addition, this place was lit with the bloody-red light, making it feel like the mythical hell.

Before the interrogation started, some people out of the 32 Fire Blood mercenaries were also terrified, and their teeth clenched repeatedly as they shivered, creating a series of noises.

You couldn't really call them cowards. Even the heroic warriors and tough masters in battle might not be able to resist against lethal interrogation methods.

In the middle of the hall, except for Balio who had the cross scar on his face, there were a few other mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] who were being interrogated as well. They were stained by blood, and they defecated uncontrollably as they screamed in pain.

The mercenaries of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] saw a tough man, who didn't look scared at all before the interrogation, collapsing after being placed on an instrument that didn't look scary for less than a minute. As he cried and begged, he told the Chambordians about everything he knew…

This was too terrifying!

The short red-haired girl and the black ponytailed girl were so scared that their cute faces changed color, and they almost cried. They had never seen such cruel scenes before, and they held onto Laura's arms tightly, looking like little chickens that were under the protection of the hen.

As the red light flashed, the bloodiness permeated into the surroundings.

This chill and gloomy place was under Chambord's prison that was known to people. [Little Black Room] was the prison that most people know about, and this was [Hell], the real gruesome prison of Chambord.

Chapter 654: Pull Them All (Part Two)

"If Captain Laura is willing to tell us what we want to know without holding anything back, you guys could probably escape the tests put up by these scary instruments," Inzagi said calmly as he looked at this beautiful silver-haired mage, "To be honest, I don't really want to put someone as beautiful as you through this terrifying process. These instruments are all designed by the head of Chambord's Justice Department, Mr. Oleg, and even peak Full-Moon Elites couldn't last under them. I advise you not to do anything strange!"

What he said instantly made these Fire Blood mercenaries pale even more.

"Ah! Stop! Stop it! I will tell! I will tell you! Stop torturing me! Let me die! Let me die without pain!" A series of screams suddenly sounded, and it instantly shocked the Fire Blood mercenaries who were in silence, making them almost experiencing a mental collapse.

The person who just screamed out in pain was Balio, who was known as a tough guy in the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]. It was heard that he was arrested by the Marse Empire in secrecy once, and he was put through inhumane tortures. However, despite all that, he didn't break and spill any secrets.

In the end, the group leader of Wind Horse, [War Pirate] Mellberg, went to the Marse Empire personally and forced them to release Balio.

When Balio got out, there wasn't an inch of intact skin on his body except for his head, and the cross scar on his face was also from that incident.

However, a tough man like him collapsed under the interrogation of Chambord, and he was willing to say everything as long as he could be killed painlessly. This just went to show how terrifying these instruments were.

As she felt the shivering hands of the two girls around her and heard the teeth-colliding noises from her team members, Laura sighed and said depressingly, "I will talk."

"[Dragon Hunt Operation]?"

As Fei sat in the [Godly King Palace] on the central mountain at the Sky Castle, he read the report Oleg gave him and sneered, "How dare two little mercenary groups to say such a thing? It seems like they think our Chambord is a soft piece of dough!"

Right now, Fatty Oleg was already more than two meters tall. The fat on his body didn't decrease after he reached Moon-Class Realm; instead, he got even fattier.

After hearing Fei's words, he smiled flattering and said, "Yeah! My honorable king! Please allow me to lead a troop and go to the residences of these two mercenary groups. I'm sure that I could wipe out all of these 20 dragon hunt teams, and I will let them know that Chambord isn't easy to mess with!"

"Get out!" Fei kicked Oleg in the butt and said, "It seems like you want to fight with people after you advanced into Moon-Class. What? You are still not satisfied after interrogating these people? Remember, don't start a fight unless the opportunity is right! If you damaged the flowers and decors in the city, do you have to the money to pay the fines? You don't need to do anything at the moment; just stay alert and wait."

"Ok, ok, ok. I will remember that." Even though this flatterer looked sad and bitter, he was happy on the inside.

Every time he was kicked in the butt by the king, he would feel refreshed.

"There are many officials in Chambord, why His Majesty is only so casual with me! This means that His Majesty cares about me and knows my loyalty!" he thought.

"Go and tell Inzagi to make his moves; we have to gift them back! Take out all the dragon hunt teams in the city according to the information that this Balio and Laura gave us. Remember, don't poke those two group leaders just yet; they are more powerful than Inzagi. Other than that, Inzagi and the guys could do whatever they see fit."

As Fei said that, he threw a sealed scroll to Oleg and added, "The detailed plans are in the scroll, so just give it to Inzagi. You guys do what is appropriate, and you don't have to come to me to ask for permissions. Before the wedding day, I need to cultivate in seclusion."

"As you wish, My Lord!" Oleg took the scroll and ran out of the palace.

Fei shook his head powerlessly. This fatty was still a hardcore flatterer and wasn't too interested in cultivation.

"He probably can't advance into Sun-Class in the future. However, since he is so loyal, I will help him when I can," Fei thought.

When he thought back to the [Dragon Hunt Operation], his expression turned cold.

"These ghosts and clowns all jumped out at the same time! Great! This time, I will capture you all! None of you can get away!"

Chapter 655: All Kinds of Reactions (Part One)

Fei's order meant that the sickle of the Grim Reaper was starting to claim lives.

The troops of Chambord didn't move. From the beginning to end, only Inzagi and the [Four Spikes] moved.

After the sunset of that day, these five silent assassins started to take away their enemies' lives one by one in the darkness.

Didn't matter if it was Balio who had the cross scar on his face or the silver-haired beautiful mage Laura, they all told Inzagi about the hiding spots of the elite dragon hunt teams from their mercenary groups in the [Hell]. Their confessions were almost 100% accurate, saving Chambord a lot of time.

Also, Inzagi and the [Four Spikes] were very careful during the day, so the other dragon hunt teams didn't notice anything strange and weren't able to react to the changes in time.

In the night, Inzagi and the [Four Spikes] became the envoys of darkness and visited each and every hiding spot at Chambord City.

These mercenaries whose jobs were to start killing and robbing the citizens of Chambord at the critical moment to distract Chambord's attention were no match for professional assassins.

Without having the ability to fight back, they were all pulled out.

-Inside a simple courtyard at Chambord City-

A mercenary of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] who was carefully patrolling around suddenly froze. Before he could shout out a warning, he felt a coldness in his neck and lost the ability to make a sound. Then, as if all the energy in his body was sucked away, he collapsed onto the ground powerlessly.

In the next moment, the noises made by wind intensified. Merciless and silent killings occurred in this quiet courtyard.

A series of hoarse and unwilling low whispers sounded, and then the wind whistled and covered the sound made by bodies falling to the ground.

In the darkness, the five black figures dashed around like phantoms and were as fast as lightning. Every time they moved, a mercenary of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] would bleed and fall to the ground.

During this entire murderous process, no one discovered that their peers around them died before them.

They all discovered the vicious grin of the Grim Reaper in their sleep and at their surprise.

In less than five minutes, the 20 experienced and skilled mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] who were hiding in this place were wiped out.

When the last mercenary fell to the ground, a huge carriage arrived at the gate of this courtyard quietly. A few burly but agile men jumped off the carriage and moved all the corpses onto the carriage smoothly. Then, they cleaned all the traces in the yard and disappeared in the dark alleyway with the carriage as if it was all a part of a hallucination.

This same scene happened at different places at Chambord in the night.

The darkness covered up the merciless killings, and the people who were in a deep sleep didn't notice anything.

The second day, one day away from the King of Chambord's wedding.

When the sun raised from the peak of the east mountain of Chambord, the sunlight shined upon this ancient city once again. It was a new day for the people in this city.

Finally, some people noticed the killings that took place.

Inside a well-hidden courtyard, there should be 20 mercenaries situated here, but it was empty at the moment. In the middle of the courtyard, there stood four mid-aged men who looked concerned.

"Isaac, my most loyal partner, what did you discover?" The person who just spoke was muscular, and his facial features were sharp. Even though he had messy short brown hair, the edges of his hair were yellow. He was wearing a silver chain armor, a pair of leather shorts that revealed his lower legs, and a pair of leather battle boots that exposed his toes. He was about 45 years of age, and he looked energetic like a lion that was at its peak.

Chapter 655: All Kinds of Reactions (Part Two)

He was Mellberg who had the nickname of [War Pirate]. He was the Group Leader of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group].

The man whose name was Isaac was a thin and tall mage who was in his forties as well. He looked perseverant, and he was wearing a rough magic robe.

As two dashes of terrifying silver light shot out of his eyes, he glanced around the courtyard and sniffed.

It looked like he was in a mystic state, and his soul was somewhere else. He answered firmly, "Blood… Murder… I see terrifying killing. The enemies who are in the dark waved their daggers and charged in, killing all the kids…"

"Who did it?" For some reason, this [War Pirate] who was known to be overprotective in the region didn't get angry. As he thought about something, he lightly asked, "How powerful are the opponents?"

Isaac who was still in the mystic state answered slowly, "Assassins… Terrifying assassins. Their auras are still in the city, and they are under the King of Chambord's command. It seems like they discovered something… I can't see more. Among the people who killed the kids, the most powerful one is a Nine-Star Assassin, and he has insane assassination skills. Huh? I can't trace him…"

"King of Chambord!" Mellberg looked at the Five Sword Sky Mountain that was protected by the 12 Golden Saint Mountains in afar and smiled.

"He sure is a clever kid; he finally discovered the strangeness? He sure is powerful. He is able to pull out all the teams of elites that I chose myself in a night. No wonder those people are concerned about him. Hehehe, unfortunately, he is still too weak, and this little dragon that hasn't matured yet is going to be slayed. There are too many powerful masters involved in this operation, and even that force is in. Hahaha, we will just record this massacre on the book for now, and we will clear it on the night of the wedding. Let's go! Tell the masters in other areas not to move."

After he said that, energy flames flashed, and all four disappeared.

They were all Moon-Class Elites.

At the same time, in the big hotel that the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] rented as their temporary headquarters.

By the window on the fourth floor, which was the highest floor, there stood a figure who was wearing a delicate gold mask and a large fancy robe; it was hard to tell whether this person was a male or a female.

At the moment, the hands were behind the back of this person, and this person was looking at the crowded street outside this building. All kinds celebratory decorations were hung on the streets and the buildings, and it was clear that the citizens of Chambord were enjoying this atmosphere.

"Did you guys find cues? Where did Laura and others go?" This person asked lightly after a while.

"It is hard to figure it out. From the information we have, we are sure it is the King of Chambord who did this. Laura and others must have been discovered, and we aren't sure if they are still alive or not."

Behind this person with the gold mask were three muscular and tough men who looked almost identical to each other. Their thick black hair was tied in braids that reached their waists, and they only wore cross belts on their upper body, each carrying a huge ax on his back. They wore leather shorts and leather battle boots, showing their thick hairy legs.

The person who answered was one of them.

"Oh? Laura is a peak Five-Star Mage. Although she isn't the most powerful, she is smart, careful, and has many magic items on her. When she was in danger, she couldn't even use any of the items of alert us. You guys only discovered that something is wrong when our ten hiding spots were pulled out. It is clear that the person who captured Laura is powerful, far beyond her level. If it weren't the King of Chambord himself, it would be a master who is at least close to Moon-Class."

The person with the gold mask slowly analyzed. From the tiny pieces of information, the analysis wasn't far off the truth.

"What should we do next?" The muscular man who answered this person's question asked.

Chapter 656: For A Woman (Part One)

"Wait. We will wait for other forces' final decision. The current loss is nothing for our [Fire Blood Mercenary Group]." The person with the gold mask said coldly as if those mercenaries who died last night were worthless.

"Then, Laura…" This burly man was lightly stunned. After all, that silver-haired female mage was the daughter of the Group Leader of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group].

"Don't worry about her; she will be fine." As soon as that was said, a golden light flashed in the room, and that person with the gold mask disappeared; it felt like this person was never here. From this alone, one could tell that this person was an experienced Moon-Class Elite.

Inside the church at the Chambord City.

In the secret room in the basement, a series of silver lights glared irregularly, giving this concealed space an indescribable holiness and pureness.

Several layers of magic arrays protected this room, and not a single bit of aura and sensation could be leaked. Even god-tier magic items such as [Earthly See - Heavenly Hear] couldn't break the protection of these powerful magic arrays and obtain information.

In the middle of the room, there was a piece of stone that looked like a little altar, and a black wooden stick that was about a meter long stood on it; it seemed like an ordinary burned stick that was used to stir fire.

As all kinds of colorful lights appeared, all sorts of masters showed up in this secret room one after another.

All the masters who arrived hid their faces. Some of them used magical masks, some used big cloaks, and some used the laws of nature to bend lights and blur others' visions… They were all Moon-Class Elites, and their powerful auras packing together made the air in the room dense, and it was a little suffocating.

"Can we start now?" A figure who was enveloped by a black cloak asked impatiently.

"We need to wait for a bit longer. A few others aren't here yet." A master of the Holy Church who was wearing a church-style robe shook his head.

"Humph!" A few displeased snorts sounded at the same time.

There were more than a dozen people in here right now, and they were all powerful and influential figures in the area. They either had impressive power, commanded over millions of soldiers, or controlled over a large region of land. They were all overbearing figures and were very conceited. They couldn't stand waiting for other people since it was usually the other way around.

Therefore, even though they only showed up for less than ten minutes, they were extremely impatient already.

If this alliance weren't secretly arranged by the two super powerful forces within the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit, they would have left already. After all, there weren't even any seats for them, and they had to stand.

A few minutes later, a few more energy flames flashed by, and four to five people appeared in the secret room.

One of them was the Group Leader of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], Mellberg. Unlike other people who hid their faces, this mad lion who was ruthless and had a strange temper showed his real face. After he looked around, a disdainful expression appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly.

Then, a dash of golden light flashed by, and a person with a gold mask and fancy robe appeared.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect to see you here. Hahaha! A coward who doesn't dare to face other masters showed up here? Aren't you scared that I'm going to chop you in half?"

After seeing this man with the gold mask, Mellberg sneered and said with hostility, instantly intensifying the atmosphere in the room.

This scene was expected, so no one was surprised.

The [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] were the two most powerful mercenary groups in the region, and there was steep competition between them. For the last dozens of years, they battled with each other frequently, and the blood that dripped from their direct and secret fights could form rivers and lakes. They saw each other as mortal enemies, and they wanted the other party to disappear as soon as possible.

Chapter 656: For A Woman (Part Two)

Therefore, as soon as [War Pirate] Mellberg and this person with the gold mask saw each other, they got combative.

However, faced with the provocation of the [War Pirate], the person with the gold mask didn't respond, acting like a piece of hard ice.

Mellberg knew he couldn't really attack this man right here right now, so he just sneered and gave a lot of pressure.

"Ok, since we are all here, let's get it started. First of all, I'm honored that you all can be here."

As the atmosphere started to tense up, a strange voice that the people in the room never heard of before suddenly sounded.

Everyone was shocked! Until now, they didn't notice that there was a person beside the black wooden stick on the stone altar!

A cloud of silver energy enveloped this person.

The people in the room were the most powerful masters in the region. With their forces combined, they could instantly conquer numerous empires and change the power dynamics of a part of the continent. They could break the land, shatter the sky, and change the weather… Almost no one could run and hide from these people…

However, none of them noticed that there was this person in the room; they didn't know how he got here, and they didn't know when he got here.

"Such terrifying power!" everyone thought to themselves.

They all suddenly thought to a name, and they shivered a little uncontrollably. Even the lion-like Mellberg put away his arrogance and quieted down.

"I will keep it short. We are all here for one reason, and it is to exterminate the King of Chambord before he grows into a cold-blooded, murderous butcher. We need to take him out before he matures, and it is the only way for us to make sure that the power dynamic in the area doesn't change, the second Yassin won't appear, and endless wars and bloody scenes won't happen. Therefore, we have to do this; it is for the peace of the continent!" This person who was enveloped by the silver energy said slowly.

He didn't exert any force or energy when he was speaking, but his monotone speech made people wanting to kneel and worship him out of respect and fear.

"Of course, according to our information, there are a lot of treasures in Chambord City. One month ago, the King of Chambord entered the core region of the Mythical Palace, and he got many natural treasures and herbs. In addition, there is the accumulated wealth of Chambord such as its magic civilization. If we can kill the King of Chambord, the treasures will be distributed according to the contribution of each party. I can promise that our force wouldn't take any of the treasures!"

This mysterious person's voice sounded in everyone ears.

"Mister, your party wants to conquer the Chambord Kingdom and kill the King of Chambord, but you are not interested in the wealth? What are you after exactly?" [War Pirate] Mellberg was blunt, and he asked the question on his mind without fear.

All other masters looked at the mysterious person.

It was clear to all of them that this mysterious person wasn't here just for fun.

"Since you all want to know, I won't keep it a secret. I only want one thing from Chambord; a person, a woman," this mysterious person stated in his monotone voice.

"A woman?" Everyone was surprised.

For masters like them, they could get their hands on all kinds of beautiful women. To the powerful male masters, women were only there to add spice to their long cultivation lives. To create a scheme that was as complex and far-reaching as this one just for a woman? It was unthinkable to them.

Chapter 657: So-called Hero (Part One)

However, that mysterious person didn't want to explain it any further and closed his mouth, and others weren't in a position to pursue that question.

Sometimes, a ridiculous reason was the most proper explanation.

On the second thought, with this mysterious person's status and power, he no longer needed the wealth and natural treasures. Therefore, it made sense why he didn't want anything within reason.

"But… Who is this woman? She is able to attract this mysterious person, and he is willing to do so much to get her…" All the masters in the room couldn't help but wonder about the identity of this woman whom this mysterious person was after.

Even though this mysterious person was enveloped by this silver energy, a dash of invisible light was stilling cast through it. As if a god was observing them, the masters in the room all lowered their heads subconsciously. This mysterious person completely controlled the atmosphere of the room, and he nodded and started to go into the details of the operation after seeing that no one objected.

-Diablo World-

Fei and Elena stood at the third level of [Worldstone Keep] and in front of the entrance to the [Throne of Destruction].

Bright red lights shined through the entrance and made it look like a pool of blood, bring chills to the people who saw it. Through this entrance, they could enter the [Throne of Destruction] where Baal was hiding.

In the [Throne of Destruction], Fei and Elena had to face all the monsters that were in Nightmare Mode. Since Baal was going to laugh and summon all these monsters that were all mini-bosses in their respective maps, Fei and Elena had to kill them first.

It was going to be a fierce battle.

Fei looked at Elena and told her to be careful, and then he walked into the entrance first.

As soon as he stepped his feet into the [Throne of Destruction], an indescribable stinky smell of blood rushed at Fei's face, making him dizzy and sick.

Then, that evil red light shined on his body, lightly suppressing and weakening his power.

It turned out that the [Throne of Destruction] was numerous times more powerful in Nightmare Mode compared with Normal Mode, and it was almost close to a level of god's realm.

The so-called [Throne of Destruction] was a bloody maze that wasn't too big.

Monsters like [Blood Lord] that were as big as small hills and [Frozen Horror] that were shiny and powerful all attacked Fei as soon as he appeared.

There were monsters everywhere, and they were all insanely powerful.

The bloody battle began.

It was a tough battle, and it took Fei and Elena over an hour to clear the monsters in this area.

Then, they arrived at the back of this bloody maze, and the portal that connected to the last place in this world, [Worldstone Chamber], could be seen.

However, Baal was standing on the stone stairs that led to the portal. As it started to laugh crazily, it summoned numerous monsters to attack the two.

It was another lengthy and bloody process.

After more than two hours, Fei and Elena finally cleared the monsters.

It meant that they killed all the powerful monsters in this Nightmare Mode all over again. Even though it was scary, they weren't in a lot of danger.

Although it was time-consuming, Fei and Elena got a lot of rewards.

During this process, the Valkyrie already became a level 96 magic archer, and her paladin bloodline increased to level 78. It was a huge jump! She was already a peak Full Moon Elite if she was in the real world right now.

Fei's barbarian character received a ton of experience points as well.

He could clearly sense the inflow of energy into his body; he felt like a river of energy was stuffing him. Even though he was getting more and more powerful, his level didn't break 99 and reach 100. It seemed like it was similar to Normal Mode. Only after he killed Baal in Nightmare Mode could he level up and enter Hell Mode.

Chapter 657: So-called Hero (Part Two)

Baal vanished into the portal after Fei killed all the demons that it summoned.

However, Fei didn't follow it into the [Worldstone Chamber]. Instead, he used a [Town Portal Scroll] and went back to [Harrogath].

After getting their items repaired and their potions stocked up, they went back to the [Throne of Destruction] through the portal and entered the [Worldstone Chamber] through the portal in that maze. It was the final place in Nightmare Mode!

Baal who looked like an octopus was more than 100 meters tall, and bloody-red demonic energy enveloped it. Its powerful aura pressed down at Fei and Elena like a tsunami.

Baal was standing in the center of the [Worldstone Chamber], and several stone pathways and corridors led to the end of the world. Beside the pathways and corridors were endless space, and one could see the stars, the nebulae, and the cosmos from here.

This was the world that belonged to demons and gods; the mortal world couldn't be compared to it!

"Hahahaha! Adventurer! I have been waiting for you! Do you really think that you could defeat me? My power is awakening, and the glory of hell is about to arrive! Don't get happy so soon! Ants! This isn't the final battle! The ending is far from here, hahaha!

Baal's crazy laughter sounded by Fei's ears like thunder, and Fei heard a little emotion in its voice. In fact, Baal sounded a little cunning.

Fei frowned; the situation was a little different from his anticipation.

This Baal in front of him had a holy and godly aura around it, and it wasn't the type of power that could be obtained by mortals. It was numerous times more powerful than the Baal in Normal Mode, and it felt like Baal went from a monster to a god. Just the pressure Baal was emitting alone made Fei suffocate a little.

What made Fei worry was that this Baal seemed to have some intelligence. Unlike an NPC, it was far more powerful, and Fei knew that it was going to be a tough battle.

Everything was different from the computer game, and Fei had to prepare for unexpected changes.

Time quickly passed by, and the second day arrived.

It was the day of the King of Chambord's wedding, and Chambord City was in an unprecedentedly festive atmosphere; all the citizens were happy.

Before the morning sun even climbed up the sky, Fei went up the peak of the east mountain with a few members of the royal family, a few high-ranking officials, and his two beautiful fiancées according to Chambord's tradition.

As the first dash of golden sunlight shined on the peak, they paid respect to the former kings and the real God of War that people worshiped in the kingdom. Then, they remembered the soldiers who died for the kingdom in the last 30 years and visited their graveyard.

This was a private ceremony, so the outsiders such as envoys from other kingdoms and empires weren't invited.

This ceremony was simple, and it was finished in less than an hour.

As Fei stood on the edge of the peak of east mountain, the wind fluttered his hair and robe, making him look handsome and heroic. As he looked down at the beautiful City of Chambord, Angela who was wearing a white dress to his left and Elena who was wearing a set of red and leisure leather armor to his right stole the spotlight of nature.

The beauties were by his sides, and the kingdom was within his grasp. This was what a hero wants!

Today, Chambord would be in a grand celebration, and all the troublemakers and clowns were going to make their moves.

Chapter 658: Advancing into Sun-Class (Part One)

As he held onto Angela and Elena's little hands, a rare peaceful smile appeared on Fei's face.

He sensed the soft and smooth feel quietly, and it was alluring yet pure, making it hard to describe.

The king whose heart was filled with murderous spirit was unprecedentedly calm, and he also felt heroic and domineering. As he stared at the territory of the kingdom, he felt like laughing proudly.

The morning wind was gentle like a lover's hand, and it lightly played with people's hair. Beside Fei, Angela's black hair and Elena's red hair fluttered, and Fei smelled the fragrance.

The two girls stood by Fei peacefully, and they let this man beside them who was a little assertive to grab their hands.

Angela blushed a little, but she also felt like it was very sweet. It was an indescribable and satisfying feeling.

Beside her, Elena felt that sweetness in the real world for the first time. That warmth penetrated her heart and entered her soul, giving her a sense of wonder that she only experienced before with bows in her hands.

As the strands of golden sunlight shined onto the three people, they looked like they were meant to be.

At the moment, the saint seiyas, the bylaw enforcement officers, and the officials stared at the three of them and felt intoxicated. All of them felt like in this world, there weren't going to be people more perfect than the three of them together; they stole the spotlight from nature.

In just a few moments, the sun climbed from the peak of the east mountain to the sky.

The golden sunlight directly shined onto the land, dyeing the world into a golden color. The beauty of nature intoxicated the people, making them want to protect it at all cost.

"Such beautiful scenery!" Fei sighed and suddenly thought of something. He sniffed a little and said, "Eh, the weather sure is chilly. Angela, be careful and don't get a cold. You and Elena should go back and prepare first."

A bit of redness appeared on Angela's white, jade-like skin, and she nodded cutely.

She turned around and held onto the Valkyrie's hand, and they smiled at each other.

Then, under the protection of warriors such as Cygnus Saint Ed Hazard, they went back to their magic carriage and went down the steep mountain.

Fei stood at the peak of the east mountain facing the cliff, and it felt like he was thinking about something. For a long time, he didn't move or say a word.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

Lights shined out of his eyes, and he looked at the location a few thousand meters away in the sky.

In the next moment, a series of minuscule ripples appeared there as if the surface of the river that got moved by the wind.

However, it soon disappeared as if nothing ever happened.

"Humph!" Fei sneered and didn't say anything. His body shivered, and he directly disappeared from the peak of the east mountain like a phantom.

At the same time, a figure who was dressed in a tight armor appeared more than ten kilometers away.

He looked a bit messy, and his eyes were the only things that were exposed on his body. He was short like a midget, but his hands were bigger than ordinary people. He was wearing iron claws on both hands, and dashes of silver energies flowed around in his palms, looking very chilly and scary.

Right now, he looked a little concerned as he looked back at the peak of the east mountain.

Chapter 658: Advancing into Sun-Class (Part Two)

"This is strange… That stare sure is terrifying… I'm scared? How? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Could it be that I'm discovered? Impossible! My [Heart of Space] technique has never failed me, and I have never been discovered by a Moon-Class Elite. It must be a hallucination… Hehehe, since my job is to take the money and kill targets, I will let you know what I'm capable of tonight, King of Chambord! I will let you know how terrifying the [Dark Shadow Tentacle] assassin really is. Hehehe, I couldn't wait! I can bring the skull of a powerful king back to the organization to decorate the [Dark Shadow Palace]!"

As he murmured in surprise and anger, this short dwarf shattered like a busted bubble and disappeared.

The time passed by.

When it was noon, all kinds of celebratory events were already happening.

The Chambordians walked onto the streets and started all kinds of performances. They wore the fanciest clothes they had, had fresh flowers in their hands, and poured cleaned water onto the streets. The fragrance of the tree leaves permeated the air.

It was clear that the city strengthened its protection forces; the bylaw enforcement officers and the saint seiyas were patrolling almost every street.

According to the pre-released schedule of the royal family, the formal wedding ceremony was going to take place on the biggest square in the city after the night arrived, and the first streak of starlight shined on the continent.

By then, almost all the citizens in the city would participate. The king would ride on his horse and go to Minister Bast's mansion first to pick up his two fiancées with his guards, and they would march toward Tiananmen Square to begin the celebration.

Everyone was looking forward to the nightfall.

The square was also divided into regions for all the guests, and all the envoys who came to Chambord got invitations. People who had invitations were pre-arranged seats, and no one was left behind. Even the Group Leaders of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] got invited.

It was now two hours before the sunset, and the main streets in the city were already packed with people.

At this moment, the envoy group from the silent royal family of Zenit finally arrived. It was headed by Second Prince Dominguez, and his supporters, [Demonic Woman] Paris and [Red Beard] Granello, were also in the group. They got on [King Alexander] that was running its last shift of the day and arrived at the city.

This time, the King of Chambord didn't show up personally. Instead, it was Bast and Brook, who were right below the king in terms of status, who welcomed them.

People's emotions already reached a peak, and everyone couldn't wait for the sun to set so that the ceremony could begin.

The king's guards were already prepared. There were 30 cavaliers who were dressed in fancy silver armors, and they were riding on level 4 roaring flame beasts that activated their bloodline and had dragon-like scales all over their bodies. They formed a square formation and waited for the king to arrive like handsome warrior statues.

Everyone was in the celebratory mood, except for a few people…

"Just like what I expected!"

-Diablo World, Hell Mode, [Blood Moor] outside of [Rogue Encampment]-

A beam of golden light enveloped Fei, and a transformational change was happening in the king's body right now.

The clouds of golden energies Fei got from the two Ancients, Talic and Korlic, from Nightmare Mode as well as the golden energy he obtained from killing ten [Spike Fiends] in Hell Mode combined. Together, they nurtured, modified, and tempered Fei's body. Each and every cell in Fei's body was being elevated.

Slowly, Fei surpassed the realm of peak Full Moon and was marching toward a higher level.

A similar situation took place when Fei leveled up from Normal Mode to Nightmare Mode.

Chapter 659: The Time Has Come (Part One)

Ten minutes before the daily gaming time was up for Fei last night, he and Elena finally defeated the super-boss Baal in the [Worldstone Chamber] in Nightmare Mode.

It was a hard and bloody battle.

With some intelligence and combat instinct, Baal was the nightmare opponent to all its enemies.

It was powerful and close to the realm of gods, and it also learned to self-heal during battle. Therefore, before its mana was depleted, it was invincible.

In this exhausting battle, Elena used up all the arrows that she prepared, and she had to use her second bloodline, Paladin, to continue battling and healing Fei.

Fei, on the other hand, used up all the potions that he stored in his storage space. Except for the three items in the [Immortal King] item set, [Immortal King's Soul Cage - Sacred Armor], [Immortal King's Stone Crusher - Ogre Maul], and [Immortal King's Forge - War Gauntlets], all of his other items such as his helmets, rings, and boots were all destroyed during battle. In the end, he was almost battling naked!

Of course, Baal's death brought Fei a lot of rewards.

First of all, it gave Fei a vast amount of experience points, helping him to break through Nightmare Mode level 99 and giving him the qualification to enter Hell Mode. Also, Elena became a level 98 magic archer, only one level away from being able to join Fei in Hell Mode.

Then, Baal gifted Fei items in the best item sets.

To Fei's surprise, he got lucky again and received another component of the [Immortal King] item set, [Immortal King's Pillar - War Boots].

This delicate black metal war boots covered up Fei's lower legs and feet that weren't protected by the [Immortal King's Soul Cage - Sacred Armor] before. His ankles and knees were protected by scale-like armors, and his mobility wasn't affected.

With the war boots on, Fei didn't feel their weight at all; instead, he felt as light as a bird! It was clear that the magic properties of this pair of boots were splendid.

[Defense: 388, Durability: 88, 40% Faster when walking or running, +110 to accuracy, +100 to defense, and +44 to life]

Additional properties in the set: [Half freeze duration, +160 defense, +2 to combat skills (Barbarian only), and 25% better chance of getting magic items].

This meant that Fei already collected four of the six components in the [Immortal King] item set. As long as he could get [Immortal King's Detail - War Belt] and [Immortal King's Will - Avenger Guard], he would have all the components in the best barbarian item set!

Valkyrie Elena received the [M'avina's True Sight - Diadem], which was the headpiece in the best amazon item set, [M'avina's Battle Hymn].

This ornamental headband had a mysterious golden gem in the front, and its style looked simple yet ancient. It offered great powers such as increased healing, increase mana regeneration, and increased attack speed. To Elena right now, these properties were all key to her combat abilities. After getting three items in the set, she received +30 to her dexterity. Since she was already at peak Full Moon, it helped her step closer to Sun-Class. In fact, she was only one bit away from that realm.

To Fei, the most important thing that he got from killing Baal was the Nightmare Mode [Worldstone].

This was the second [Worldstone] that Fei obtained. Even though it was stained by the power of hell as well and was very corrosive, Fei had the experience of purifying the first Normal Mode [Worldstone], so cleansing this piece with the Mythical Altar wasn't going to be difficult.

This Nightmare Mode [Worldstone] contained a lot more energy compared with the Normal Mode [Worldstone], and it was capable of powering anything, including god-tier magic arrays and god-tier combat weapons. It was truly powerful.

Fei's instinct told him that the [Worldstones] were going to be something that Chambord was going to rely on the most.

After defeating Baal that night, Fei exited from Diablo World.

Then, he had to pay respect to the former kings, the God of War, and the brave soldiers who died protecting Chambord in the early morning.

Chapter 659: The Time Has Come (Part Two)

While Angela and Elena returned to Minister Bast's mansion to do the final preparations according to the traditions in this world, Fei returned to Diablo World to continue killing monsters to level up.

He had to become the absolute most powerful as he could be to increase the chance of success during the storm.

Similar to before, he appeared in the entry scene and saw the option, Hell Mode.

Without hesitation, he clicked on it and entered as fast as he could.

Just like Nightmare Mode, the NPCs still didn't have intelligence. They were merely machines that offered Fei quests and provided him with rewards.

Fei's level in Nightmare Mode got wiped out completely, but he kept all his power.

Just as expected, the monsters in this mode were many times more powerful than the previous mode. Just a little [Spike Fiend] on the [Blood Moor] was as powerful as a peak Full Moon Elite. The spikes that it shot out from its back even made Fei feel threatened!

This was Hell Mode!

The more powerful the monsters, the more experience points they provided.

After killing ten [Spike Fiend], Fei got enough experience points and leveled up, becoming a Hell Mode level 1 Barbarian.

Under the envelopment of that golden beam of light, Fei's body transformation took about half an hour. After that process, it felt like he was a bright star in the sky! There was golden light radiating from his body, making him look like the sun in the morning.

"Is this what Sun-Class Lords feel?" Fei frowned.

He sensed an unimaginable amount of energy in his body, and he felt like he could strike down stars with a wave of his hand and tear open the land with a stomp of his feet.

However… Why couldn't he sense more laws of nature and condense his own Sun Anomaly?

Fei was confused, but he didn't stop killing monsters.

After two hours, Fei finally completed the first quest in [Rogue Encampment], [The Den of Evil].

After the last [Fallen Shaman] screamed and fell to the ground, a dash of light fell from the ceiling of the cave, and that cold and mysterious voice, which was absent for a long time, sounded by Fei's ear.

After a short surprise, a thrilled expression appeared on Fei's face.

It was the wedding day.

That red setting sun finally fell below the horizon unwillingly, granting the wish of numerous people.

In his sky-blue robe, the handsome King Alexander of Chambord finally showed up and joined the 30 cavaliers who had been waiting for him under the stares of his citizens and guests.

As the loud bugle sounded, the dashing cavaliers jumped onto the level 4 roaring flame beasts and surrounded their supreme king in the middle.

As the cool nightly breeze blew by, they headed toward the direction of Bast's mansion.

The excited Chambordians who filled the streets clapped and cheered as they watched this group move forward confidently.

Fresh flowers and vibrant olive branches were thrown into the air and landed before the king, forming a path of beauty and fragrance.

Chapter 660: Rare Beauties (Part One)

For most of the outsiders, this was their first time seeing this famous King of Chambord, the person who was worshipped and loved by the Chambordians.

At the moment, he was being cheered by many people, and he looked extraordinary!

Even though some of them had malicious intents and disliked the King of Chambord, they had to unwillingly admit that this king was charismatic and magnificent.

Riding on a handsome white horse, the young king was dressed in a sky-blue robe that perfectly showcased his figure. His muscles were defined but not that bulky, and it felt like his Greek God physique contained immeasurable power and energy.

On top of his head, there was a gold olive-branch-style crown, and his long black hair was being tied together by nine golden hairbands and reached his waist.

His handsome and manly face had a smile on it, and he looked like a morning sun that was still on the climb, releasing an impressive glare.

Numerous citizens were cheering for him and feeling crazy over him.

Thunder-like claps resonated in the entire Chambord City, and the passion and love the Chambordians had toward their king erupted like the backed-up lava in an ancient volcano.

As the king proceeded forward on the street, the people in front of him all moved aside to create a path for him, and his loyal guards followed him tightly and got showered by the cheers as well.

At this moment in time, it felt like Fei was the center of the world! It seemed like everyone was watching this young king!

As the Chambordians cheered, the group that was about to pick up the future queens moved out of the former King's Palace and headed toward Head Minister Bast's mansion.

-Further away-

"This little guy? He is King Alexander of Chambord? This is disappointing! Humph! He is a little white face who probably still drinks his mom's milk! He doesn't look strong, and I can probably kill him with one hand! His Majesty actually ordered us to come to Chambord City to complete this mission? His Majesty overestimated this little king too much!"

There were three burly figures in black cloaks on the roof of a stone palace much further away, and the person who just spoke in disdain was one of them. As he stared at the king who was being cheered by tens of thousands of people, he sneered and showed his sharp, knife-like teeth.

"When a lion fights a rabbit, even it would use all of its force; we shouldn't be over-confident. After all, the track record in our intelligence report isn't fake!" Another person among the three shook his head and said, "The King of Chambord is at least a peak Half Moon Elite, and he has a powerful war hammer which is probably a semi-god-tier combat weapon. He shouldn't be overlooked."

"Hehe, although that is true, what can he do even if he is a peak Full Moon Elite? The [Dragon Hunt Alliance] is comprised of more than 30 masters from many empires! In addition, there are a few old monster-like masters… The King of Chambord is dead for sure! I heard that there are several beautiful women around this little king. By then, hehe… Man, I'm getting excited just thinking about it! I'm going to play with his queens right in front of him! Hahahaha!" The last person who spoke sounded vicious and sick.

"King Alexander of Chambord. You finally showed yourself, huh? You evil dragon. You have to come out of your hidden spot, and it looks like you are doomed! Even the gods are against you!"

In the crowd which was cheering for the King of Chambord, there stood an old man who was white-haired and wearing a white robe.

The veins on his body were sharp, and there were a ton of wrinkles and age spots on him due to his old age. With a black, burned-like wooden stick in his hand, he watched the young king who rode pass him with a smile on his face. However, various emotions were displayed in his eyes.

His eyes were filled with vicissitude and wisdom but also cruelty and greed.

Even though his eyes were a bit cloudy, various emotions such as appreciation, pity, viciousness, and excitement mingled with each other in a complex way.

Chapter 660: Rare Beauties (Part Two)

"What a pity! This is truly sad. You are an unparalleled genius, and you have a limitless future. However, your decisions threw all that away. Just for that little woman named Angela, you dared to kill several masters from my shrine. Although I couldn't report that to the Northern Regional Church to get an executive team to hunt you down since I don't want others to find out about the existence of this woman who is the reincarnation of a goddess, hehehe, I have prepared a big trap for you! It is enough for you to die over 100 times! Ever since the existence of men and women, beauties always created tragedy. Unfortunately, you are young and reckless, and you became an enemy of the Shiye Shrine of the Holy Church. Your death is unavoidable!"

After the King of Chambord disappeared into afar, this old man turned around and vanished as well after taking a few steps.

There were tens of thousands of people around him, but none of them even noticed the disappearance of this old man.

"I'm going to kill him! I will chop his corpse into bits to avenge for our brothers who were killed by him!" [War Pirate] Mellberg and his loyal advisor, Isaac, stared at the King of Chambord who moved away from where they were standing and cursed viciously.

"This young man is the King of Chambord?" Further away, the Group Leader of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] who had a gold mask thought, "Interesting. He sure didn't disappoint me."

"This young?" Under a stone statue that was about more than ten meters tall, Prince Gurkov of Bordeaux finally saw the King of Chambord for the first time and was surprised. Behind him, four young knights were murmuring to themselves and snickered recklessly. Who knew what they were talking about?

"Hehe, tonight is the night of blood! You are my prey! Poor bug! Enjoy this last bit of your glamorous life! Hehehehehe!" Hiding in the sky, a midget with huge hands licked his lips and laughed viciously.

"Huh? It seems like a lot is going on in the city right now. Is Alexander prepared for all this?" The handsome Second Prince Dominguez stood by a window and looked around with that disabled puppy, Oka, in his arms. Then, as he murmured, he went back to the couch and lied down.

Behind him, [Demon Woman] Paris looked concerned, but [Red Beard] Granello was emotionless.

-In front of Head Minister Bast's mansion-

After about 15 minutes of silence, the people who were crowded here suddenly started cheering as loud as they can.

"Hail the King!"

"Hail the Queens!"

"Long live King Alexander!"

"Long live Queen Angela! Long live Queen Elena!"

When they saw the supreme King Alexander walking out of the mansion while holding the hands of the two gorgeous queens, everyone went crazy.

In a white, trailing floral lace wedding dress, Angela who had a headpiece with many shiny silver pearls embedded in it looked like a goddess that walked down from the moon. Her beauty was unreal, making all the men in the area breath heavily.

On the other side of the king, Elena was wearing a red, tight-fit strapless dress and had [M'avina's True Sight - Diadem] on her head. She looked like a Valkyrie who was enveloped by fire, and her slender waist, beautiful long legs, and perfect figure added to her unique valiant aura, showcasing another kind of beauty that wasn't inferior to Angela's.

Envy and jealousy! Those were the primitive thoughts of almost all the men in the area.

In the cheers, a fancy magic carriage that was driven by [Son of Wind] Fernando Torres slowly stopped by the gate, and Head Minister Bast who was in a fancy noble suit walked by and kissed Fei on the forehead with a smile. Then, as an elder, he got into the carriage with the two future queens.

Prince Charming rode on a white horse, and so did Fei. He hopped onto his horse and led the way.

Under the protection of the saint seiyas, the group moved toward Tiananmen Square; the wedding ceremony was going to start there.

On the way, the cheers got louder, and flowers were tossed into the air.

After taking twice the normal time, the group finally arrived at the square with the crowd behind them.

Chapter 661: Sudden Changes, Beginning of Chaos (Part One)

When the group reached the square, the high-level people from the various envoy groups were already seated in their pre-arranged spots. On this large square, the influential figures who were rarely seen by people were everywhere.

The square was divided into four areas. The northern area was the platform for the wedding as well as the seats for Chambordians such as high-level saint seiyas, the ministers, and the high-ranking officials. The southern, eastern, and western areas were for all the guests such as senior people from various envoy groups, mercenary groups, and merchant groups, as well as powerful masters.

Some of the bylaw enforcement officers and the students in the Civil and Military University were walking in these areas and acted as temporary servants.

The citizens of Chambord could only stand around the square and watch, but none of them were resentful.

First of all, they support all of their king's decisions.

Second of all, the people who had seats on the square were all influential figures. According to the strict social ladder on the continent, the current set up was the most appropriate and wouldn't offend anyone.

The rest of bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas were fully armored and maintaining the order in the region.

As Fei led the group to the square, loud bugles sounded. The people who were standing outside the square all moved aside respectfully to create a path for the king, and the citizens of Chambord kneeled on the ground, welcoming their king and future queens to the ceremony as they cheered.

Almost all the guests on the square stood up to welcome the most important three people for tonight's event.

Only a few people were eating and drinking at their VIP tables as they watched this and sneered.

For example, the Group Leader of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], [War Pirate] Mellberg, didn't hide his murderous spirit and hatred toward Fei, and so did his henchmen around him. The temperature around where they were sitting dropped by several degrees.

Around them, some young noblemen stared at the two beautiful future queens and drooled.

In the midst of thunderous applause, Fei jumped off his horse and walked to the magic carriage.

He bent his back and reached out his hand, inviting the two future queens to get off the carriage in the most gentleman-like manner.

Then, he held onto Angela and Elena's hands under the blessing stares of Bast and tens of thousands of others, and they walked toward the tall platform in the northern area of the square on a long red carpet.

As the king and the two future queens moved, dashes of magic fireworks were shot into the sky, forming all kinds of images and patterns in the air. It was so beautiful and bright that lights overtook the darkness.

There were people in fancy clothes who performed the traditional celebratory dances of Chambord behind Fei and the two girls, adding to the already-heated atmosphere.

With the magic fireworks in the sky, the entirety of Chambord City looked like an unbelievable paradise, and it was truly breathtaking.

Even the princes and ministers from the big empires around Zenit were stunned by what they saw. Even though they saw a lot of royal weddings at powerful empires, they couldn't think of one that could be compared to this. The fancy colors and the cheerful atmosphere made people feel like they weren't on the Azeroth Continent anymore. They felt like they were somewhere holy, and there weren't any conflicts and negative emotions.

Under people's stares, Fei and his two future queens finally arrived before the tall platform.

Chapter 661: Sudden Changes, Beginning of Chaos (Part Two)

This platform had nine levels, and each level was about half a meter tall. This entire wedding platform was made from one giant piece of white stone, and 36 steps led to the ninth level. Each step was sculpted out by the most talented artists at Chambord, and all kinds of delicate images such as flowers, warriors, demon beasts, dragons, goddess, and gods were engraved on them.

In addition, there were four warrior statues about six meters tall around the platform, guarding it with might.

Under the fancy magic fireworks in the sky, this giant silver platform looked splendid like a true art piece.

After smiling at the two girls beside him, Fei raised his left leg and set foot onto the first step.

The people standing around the square instantly started to cheer again.

According to the tradition of Chambord and this ancient continent, as long as Fei and the two girls walked up this nine-leveled and 36-stepped platform, it could count as that they finished the holiest wedding under the watch and blessing of the gods.

It would be perfect.

At this moment, a voiced sounded, "Wait a moment! I have something to say!"

This loud, thunder-like shout resonated in the area and instantly attracted people's attention.

Since it was powered by abundant warrior energy, it overpowered the cheering of tens of thousands of Chambordians and disrupted the wedding that was ongoing.

Everyone was surprised.

"Damn it! Who is it! Does he want to die?!"

"F*ck this b*stard! Where did he come from? How dare he mess around at this time?"

"Chop this b*stard up! Who is he? Stand out! How dare you interrupt this royal wedding?"

The Chambordians who were sitting in the northern area on the square were enraged, and they jumped up and shouted back. As they looked toward the direction of that voice, they almost drew out their weapon and tried to kill that person.

Interrupting the wedding process when the king and the future queens were climbing the tall platform was unforgivable!

The Chambordians who were outside the square also started to cuss and swear.

For a moment, almost all friends of Chambord were mad as well.

Everyone was looking toward the direction of that voice, wanting to figure out who it was.

"How dare he do something this disrespectful? He is getting on the King of Chambord's nerves! Does he want to die?" people thought.

The surprised glares soon met the person who spoke, and the people were stunned again.

It was [War Pirate] Mellberg, the Group Leader of the No.1 Mercenary Group in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit!

He was a powerful Full Moon Elite years ago, and he singlehandedly created and supported the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group].

No one was able to defeat him, and almost all the empires in the region were afraid of him. Even though the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] hadn't established its own empire, Mellberg was the undisputable lord of the mercenaries!

The fact that he decided to come out and disrupt this ceremony already said enough.

He presented an attitude.

"If the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] decides to stand against the King of Chambord, the situation tonight would be interesting," a lot of people thought.

"Hahahahaha! Alexander, I have one thing to ask you! You better answer it honestly, or your damn wedding ceremony can stop!" Mellberg said overbearingly as he walked to the center of the square with six masters of Wind Horse.

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

A hundred soldier of Chambord drew out their swords and stood between Mellberg and Fei fearlessly.

Even though Mellberg was infamous in the region, these soldiers in heavy armors stood still with determination.

The atmosphere instantly tensed up.

The people who were celebrating were surprised, and all the dances stopped.

Even though the magic fireworks were still being shot into the sky, the audiences were in different moods now.

In the VIP areas on the square, some people were angry while others were gloating. Everyone had different thoughts on their minds.

However, one thing was the same. They all wanted to know how the King of Chambord was going to deal with this situation.

Chapter 662: Taurus's First Battle (Part One)

Under everyone's gaze, the King of Chambord who was holding the hands of his two beautiful fiancées only paused a little when he heard the shout. After that, he completely ignored Mellberg and moved toward the second step. It seemed like he was even too tired to turn around and look at this troublemaker.

His attitude was very arrogant since he just ignored the person who was one of the most influential people in the region.

After a short pause, Mellberg laughed angrily, and his voice was as loud as thunder. In the same time, all the short hair on his head stood up, looking like sharp iron needles.

"Great! Just great! I have battled around the continent for more than 100 years, and it is my first time seeing such an arrogant younger warrior. Since this is the case, the Chambord Kingdom doesn't need to exist anymore, and all Chambordians are enemies to our [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]. Hehe, this damn wedding ceremony can end right here! I want to see which is harder, your attitude or my blade?… Alexander, are you really naïve enough to believe that your weak, ant-like subordinates could stop me? Elm!"

As Mellberg shouted, a thin and tall, long-faced mercenary walked out behind him.

This person had a bitter expression on his long-face as if everyone in the world owed him something, and he was wearing light-red leather armor.

He didn't say a word, but he walked toward the ceremony platform that had nine levels and 36 steps murderously.

This mercenary named Elm only moved forward for a few steps, and there were no warrior energy flames on him. However, he floated in the air, half a meter above the ground, and it felt like he was stepping on something invisible since he walked calmly and steadily.

"Moon-Class Elite!" someone shouted subconsciously.

This thin and tall mercenary who had a bitter expression could easily stand in mid-air, and it was the best indication that he was already a Moon-Class Elite.

"Ah! I know who he is! He is [Bitter Murder God] Elm, and he is one of the ten battle generals of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]! Once, he got mad and killed everyone in ten cities of a level 3 empire. Even the infants who were just born weren't spared! He is truly murderous! His fire-elemental warrior energy is strange, and he is one of the Moon-Class Elites under [War Pirate] Mellberg's command. It is heard that he already reached the Half Moon Realm many years ago!" A person who was knowledgeable in the VIP areas spoke. Even though his voice wasn't loud, everyone was able to hear who this mercenary was.

Now, almost everyone was looking at the 100 fully-armored soldiers of Chambord with sympathy.

The hardest armor in this world was nothing in front of the power of Moon-Class. In fact, ordinary thick armors were like thin papers in front of Moon-Class Elites. If the masters of Chambord weren't going to show up, these brave and elite soldiers would be turned into pieces of flesh and scrap metals in a few seconds.

In front of real power, bravery and loyalty were useless.

Everyone looked at the King of Chambord.

However, this young king was still facing everyone with his back.

As if King Alexander didn't discover what was happening behind him, he held the hands of his two fiancées and walked up toward the ninth level.

"Doesn't he care about the lives of his loyal soldiers? Or…" people thought.

Suddenly, a vicious grin appeared on Elm's bitter face.

Lights dashed out of his eyes as he stood half a meter above the ground, and he lightly grasped his right hand and pushed it forward.

Then, a hot beam of fire appeared on the square out of nowhere as a result of this casual movement, and that terrifying sensation dispersed into the area.

The casual strike of a Moon-Class Elite was disastrous for ordinary Star-level Warriors.

The red beam of fire instantly shot toward the 100 elite soldiers of Chambord who were about 20 meters away from Elm, and the heat energy formed a small tornado, also moving toward the soldiers with a death sensation.

[Bitter Murder God!]!

He was going to kill these soldiers first!

However, none of the bylaw enforcement officers wavered and backed off. Under 100 black, cold masks, 100 pairs of clear eyes filled with bravery didn't even blink in front of the terrifying attack that could vaporize them like ice.

That was because a heroic figure suddenly appeared before the bylaw enforcement officers and blocked the red beam of fire.

Chapter 662: Taurus's First Battle (Part Two)

Under the shiny moonlight, the smile that was filled with disdain appeared on this person's face.

As he slowly raised his hand, he grasped onto the beam of fire easily and suddenly clenched his fist, instantly crushing this strike which could have easily killed those 100 soldiers of Chambord.

In his hand, this beam of fire felt like a piece of cheese.

"Huh?" The bitter expression on Elm's face changed as he frowned a little.

This opponent who suddenly appeared was able to dismantle his strike easily, and it was clear that this man was also a Moon-Class Elite. In addition, this thin and tall mercenary felt like his opponent had a mysterious power around him and knew that the latter wasn't weak.

Everyone in the three VIP areas on the square gasped in unison.

They all felt like what was happening was too dramatic!

At this critical moment, a Moon-Class Elite on Chambord's side, who wasn't King Alexander, showed himself and blocked that strike of a Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]

"No wonder this young king is so calm; he is still walking up the platform. He is ignoring everything because Chambord is already prepared, right?" people thought, "However… Is one Moon-Class Elite enough to stop everyone from the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] including [War Pirate] himself?"

As the guests were thinking about that, the Chambordians who were on and outside the square already started shouting.

"Mr. Drogba!"

"Hahaha! It is Mr. Drogba! Now, we shall see if this damn Moon-Class Elite can still be arrogant? Humph! How could you outsiders know how many masters we Chambordians have?"

"Mr. Drogba! Kill these rude b*stards! How dare they interrupt our king's wedding ceremony? They all deserve to die!"

The Chambordians who were all nervous a moment ago relaxed, and they couldn't help but jump into the air and shout. They weren't afraid; instead, they were all shivering in excitement.

They felt like their blood was boiling, and everyone including children and elders clenched their right hand and placed them on the right side of their chest.

"You want to challenge our great King Alexander? Hehe, pass the 12 Golden Saint Seiyas who guard the 12 Golden Saint Mountains first! Today, we will let you, the arrogant outsiders, know what kind of power Chambord is capable of! Shiver under the fear for our great king!" they thought.

-In the center of the square-

"B*stard! Tell me; how do you want to die?"

Drogba sneered coldly. His long black hair was already tied into braids, and each braid was bright and eye-catching. He looked like a battle-hungry lion that couldn't wait for combat. In fact, his eyes were shining due to the excitement.

Of course, what surprised most people was that he was also not standing on the ground. Just like Elm, he was still hovering half a meter above the ground.

"He is also a Moon-Class Elite! Who is he? I have never heard of him before!" most people thought.

Not too far away, [War Pirate] Mellberg was slightly surprised. Then, a vicious expression appeared on his rough face, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Elm, kill him! Tear this dirty Chambordian into pieces!"

This bitter-faced mercenary licked his lips in excitement as if he was a beast that targeted its prey. He stared at Drogba and suddenly spoke, "I won't die, but you will. Doesn't matter who they are or how old they are, as long as they are citizens of Chambord, they will be killed tonight! They will die tragically!"

He pointed at the sky and provoked, "This square is too small, and it is not so convenient. If you are daring enough, come to the sky with me, and we can battle this out!"

After he said that, Elm got covered with fire-elemental energy flames. As if he turned into a fire dragon, he dashed into the high sky.

"Hahahahaha! If you want this, I will kill you up there!" Drogba laughed fearlessly.

Like a huge ax, his body shot up and left a terrifying orange mark in the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, he caught up with Elm, and they started to battle in the sky without hesitation or more talking.

The two Moon-Class Elites were in a ferocious battle.

This was the first battle between Chambord and the troublemakers, and both Drogba and Elm knew its importance. As a result, none of them held back, and they fought each other directly, trying to kill their opponent in the shortest time possible.

For a moment, the colorful, beautiful, and deadly Moon-Class warrior energy flames shone in the sky. The orange light rings, as well as the red fire, continued to collide and explode, sending residual energy in all directions. In fact, this battle was even more flashy compared with the magic fireworks show prior.

Chapter 663: The Song of Chambord (Part One)

The battle in the sky attracted a lot of people's attention, and it was pulling on many people's heartstrings.

"This is strange. Drogba? According to our intelligent report, he showed his face and strength at the competition among all affiliated kingdoms of Zenit half a year ago. At that time, he was still an insignificant character. Only about half a year had passed, and he is now a Moon-Class Elite? The King of Chambord… how did he make this happen?"

"There is someone else other than Lampard who reached the realm of Moon-Class? This is shocking news!"

"The little Chambord brought me so much surprise. Hahahaha…"

"If we can figure out how the Chambord Kingdom got so many Moon-Class Elites… Eh, it is worth the risk!"

"It seems like this Moon-Class Elite of Chambord just advanced recently; I never heard of such a person before… Unfortunately, compared with [Bitter Murder God], he is going to lack in terms of experience. He is practicing earth-elemental warrior energy, but he ditched fighting on the ground where the earth elements are more abundant and chose to fight thousands of meters in the sky. The outcome of this battle is determined from the beginning! Chambord is going to lose!"

The people in the three VIP areas were all thinking of something different. Some were surprised, some were shocked, some were confused, and some were worried. Also, there were people who sat there emotionlessly and just watched everything unfold.

Some of them were powerful masters, and they murmured to each other and commentated as they watched the battle with their sharp eyes.

-In the south VIP are

Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit was still sitting on his stone chair with Oka, the little disabled dog, in his arms. His eyes were squinted as if he was turning a blind eye to everything, but if one looked closer, they could see the dashes of lights deep in his eyes.

Beside him, [Demonic Woman] Paris and [Red Beard] Granello looked at each other in shock as they observed the battle. The two of them were very familiar with this new Moon-Class Elite Drogba.

If they broke down the progression of this black-haired man, it would be an unbelievable legend! A strongman who didn't have any warrior energy before turned into a Moon-Class Elite! This man achieved the dream of many warriors in about a year!

"Are Moon-Class Elites so commonplace now? Are they like cabbages?" they thought, "The King of Chambord is a genius! How did he do all of this?"

-In the middle of the square-

[War Pirate] Mellberg who was filled with hatred couldn't wait for the fight in the high-sky to finish since the King of Chambord already got to the first level of the platform.

As he watched the King of Chambord and his two future queens walk toward the second level of the platform hand-in-hand, Mellberg couldn't take it anymore. He turned around and allowed another master beside him to make a move.

This master was a mid-aged man in a mage robe. He wasn't tall or short, and his long grey hair fluttered in the wind. He had a black half-mask on his face, and cold glares shined out of his eyes.

As he walked forward with his huge two-meter-tall wand, his magic robe puffed up even though the wind wasn't blowing in that direction. As a result of that, his body looked larger, and he suddenly looked tough and strong.

He didn't chant any spells, but his body hovered in the air.

As streaks of chilly energy appeared on him, a blue crescent-moon symbol appeared on his forehead slowly.

He was a Moon-Class Elite! A Moon-Class Ice-Elemental Mage!

The power of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] sure was high! No wonder it was the No.1 Mercenary Group in the region and had the ability to negotiate and be on par with all the empires in the area. Almost all its high-ranked leaders were powerful masters.

"Who can battle with me?" This mage with the half-mask on his face didn't attack anyone. He just hovered in the air and looked down at where the elite Chambordians were sitting with an arrogant expression on his face.

Chapter 663: The Song of Chambord (Part Two)

His voice was hoarse and lifeless, making people feel like they were listening to a rusty saw cutting a piece of wood. It was ear-piercing and horrible, but it also contained a depressing murderous spirit. The people who heard it felt a little chilly.

The people on and off the square looked in the direction of the northern area.

Then, the expressions on their faces turned from anticipation to surprise, and then from surprise to shock!

"There is one more Moon-Class Elite on the side of Chambord!" people thought, "Also, he looks so young! It feels like he is younger than 20 years old!"

The young man who came out had long blond hair and a handsome face.

His slender body was protected by a tight-fitting leather armor, and clouds of green wind-elemental warrior energy circled him, making him look like a pretty elf under the bright moonlight.

[Son of Wind] Fernando Torres!

Under the moonlight, Torres was also hovering in mid-air. As he looked at the mage with the black half-mask on, battle-hunger appeared in his eyes. Without any further ado, he turned into a dash of green light and shot toward the sky.

That mage also followed him up the air.

The casual strikes of Moon-Class Elites were destructive and could shake the land.

Since everyone on the square was all influential figures from various forces and empires, fighting on the square might affect them and bring more trouble. Therefore, the sky was the best battleground for Moon-Class Elites.

In addition, every single Moon-Class Elite was prideful in themselves, and they would never back down from a challenge.

After sensing the battle- hunger in Torres' eyes, this mage with the black half-mask couldn't back down and would follow for sure.

"It is Mr. Torres!"

"Hahahaha! Mr. Torres advanced to the Moon-Class? When did that happen?"

"Hail! Hail Chambord! Hail the king!"

"How dare they disrupt the wedding of our king? Let these stupid mercenaries pay for what they did! Let them pay with blood! Let's see who dares to challenge our great king again!"

The Chambordians outside the square were all excited, and they laughed out loud.

Didn't matter if they were males, females, children, or the elderly, they all felt like they were proud of their identities. They placed their right fists on their hearts and sensed the pumping in their chests.

They felt like it was fire that was running through their bodies, and they couldn't hold back their emotions.

At this moment, someone suddenly sang.

Then, all the Chambordians in the area started to sing along. It was the Song of Chambord, something that the king hummed all the time.

"There is a wide river that has big waves, and the wind blows by and brings fragrances of nature to both river banks. Chambordians live to the north of the river and listen to the rumble of Zuli, and we glance at the grasslands to the south… This is our beautiful Chambord City, where we grow up… This is the homeland of heroes, and it brews a thunder-like power… This is a great land, and our homes are open to all friends. But if wolves come by, they will be received by spears and arrows!"

Almost all the Chambordians roared when they sang the last line, and it was shocking.

The loud voices that were empowered by their souls as well as the powerful lyrics shocked all the guests, and those people who had malicious intents got a bit fearful; their faces even changed color.

Chapter 664: Prince Simon of the Marse Empire (Part One)

"Damn it! You are just a bunch of low-lives! Shut up right now!" Mellberg sensed an ominous feeling, and he got furious. After hearing the roars of the citizens of Chambord who didn't even possess warrior energy or magic energy, he somehow got a little fearful. That finding shamed and angered him.

Also, he had sent out two of his masters, but it wasn't able to get the King of Chambord to turn around and look at him.

Instead, he looked like a clown, and he made the Chambordians even more united. To this overlord who had been dominating in the region, he felt ashamed.

Behind him, there was one more Moon-Class Elite aside from Isaac. He turned around without hesitation, and he dashed toward the crowd. As his golden metal-elemental warrior energy flames shone, dashes of energy were shot toward the ordinary Chambordians who were standing outside the square! He was attacking ordinary people! It was inhumane and cruel!

"Shameless!"

"Despicable!"

"Stop!"

"You are a Moon-Class Elite, but you are attacking ordinary civilians? Do you still have the honor of a master? This is damn shameful!"

No one expected the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] to be so shameless and have no respect for themselves. The elites of Chambord who were sitting on the square were mad. Even though they wanted to stop the tragedy, they couldn't move that fast and stop this Moon-Class Elite.

However, something no one expected occurred at this moment!

When the sharp and lethal metal-elemental sword energies were only about less than one meter away from the crowd, layers of blue, translucent ripples appeared out of nowhere. A magic array formation appeared in a sudden.

Even though the Moon-Class metal-elemental sword energies tried to break it and attacked it like raindrops in a storm, it was no use. Although this layer of magic energy shivered, it didn't break!

In the next moment, this Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] roared with a cold expression on his face, and he struck forward with his fists.

It was a full-on strike of a Moon-Class Elite, and it was powerful enough to shatter a mountain.

However, none of that was useful.

The firmness of that layer of blue, translucent magic energy was beyond people's imagination, and this strike that was enough to break down the defense walls of cities only left a small dent that was less than one centimeter deep.

In the next second, this Moon-Class Elite's face changed color. As he roared, the dent on the magic array formation bounced back and pushed him away.

"Eh… Puff!"

This vicious and arrogant Moon-Class Elite opened his mouth and puked up a mouthful of blood. Then, crackling noises sounded in his right arm, signaling the breaking of his arm bones.

As if he were a dried leaf in a storm, he flew back and landed beside [War Pirate] Mellberg. When his feet touched the group, he staggered so much that he fell to the ground.

This was shocking!

Almost everyone sitting in the VIP areas on the stage jumped up in surprise as they stared at and observed this blue and translucent magic array formation.

At the same time, this thin layer of magic energy started to change. The blue magic elements began to move around like water on a screen, and they started to expand outward.

In the blink of an eye, the magic elements went around the square and enveloped it entirely. Like a vast blue, translucent half sphere, it locked the guests on the square inside.

"What is this?"

"[Water Screen Heavenly Glare]? It can block the full-on strike of a Half Moon Elite? Could it be… a forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation? How is this possible? That would mean Chambord could construct the most powerful water-elemental defensive magic array formation!"

"This is impossible! How much energy would it need to power this forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation? I'm afraid that even the perfect-tier magic crystals couldn't do it… This… How did the Chambordians do it? How?"

"The King of Chambord… Is he imprisoning us in this magic array formation? He… what does he want to do?"

Chapter 664: Prince Simon of the Marse Empire (Part Two)

"Damn! This is truly shocking! He sure is brave! Haha, his nickname, [Sky Covering Fist], sure is accurate. Is he trying to capture all the masters in the region? Hahaha, he is too arrogant! He is going to pay for all this!"

"The Chambordians are this powerful? This forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation alone means that the Chambord Kingdom is comparable to a level 1 empire! The King of Chambord sure is ambitious!"

All the guests on the square were shocked.

Since they were inside this forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation, they all felt insecure and afraid.

Even the people of the Holy Church were surprised. A mysterious elderly priest who was standing in front of Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano and had a confident smile on his face changed his expression, and the five holy knights who were silent behind him all jumped up in surprise.

At this moment, the King of Chambord and his two beautiful fiancées already reached the fourth level on the nine-leveled platform.

From the beginning until now, this young king didn't even turn around once, and neither did his two future queens.

[War Pirate] Mellberg finally got a little surprised and cautious. Events that were outside of their plans kept on happening, and he suddenly felt like this young king was in control of everything. The silence and no reactions from the King of Chambord finally scared him a little.

Even though the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] hadn't attacked yet, he jumped out first and was going to be sacrificed first as well.

"That damn [Fire Blood Mercenary Group]! None of them stood out!" he thought, "I thought this little kingdom couldn't do anything to my mercenary group, but now it seems like this little king isn't that simple. It looks like I need to get serious!"

As Mellberg was about to make a move himself, someone finally stood out from the VIP areas.

"Alexander, what is the meaning of this? Did you use a forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation to envelop this entire square? What is this? You want to imprison all of us?" This person was aggressive. He instantly accused Fei of doing something immoral, and he called Fei by his name without holding back.

This man looked like he was about 30 years old and had short black hair. At the moment, arrogant lights were flashing in his triangular-eyes.

He was wearing a set of dark-red fancy magic armor, and it was giving out a glare. On the inside, he was wearing a light-blue shirt with an M-shaped royal symbol on it.

Everyone gasped.

Many people already recognized this man; he was Prince Simon of the Marse Empire and the group leader of the envoy group from his empire.

Behind him, there were three warriors who were dressed in light-blue royal armor of the Marse Empire, and their warrior energy flames shone brightly.

Just their auras alone were impressive. Even though they didn't battle anyone yet, their presences told others that they were in Moon-Class.

As a prince of Marse, Prince Simon wasn't polite at all; he was pretty much accusing Chambord of wrongdoing.

Although it wasn't directly expressed, people could tell that he was standing on the side of [Wind Horse Mercenary Group].

Many people wondered, "Is the Marse Empire going to stand against Chambord and try to destroy it at this moment?"

Faced with the accusation, Chambord responded.

Head Minister Bast walked out of the northern area on the square elegantly, showing the etiquettes of a noble gentleman.

"My Majesty doesn't mean any malicious intent. Chambord is just trying to be a good host to our real friends and offer them great food and wine. On the other hand, we are going to capture all the sly wolves hiding in the crowd. Just in case that these people escape from here and kill our powerless citizens, we have to do this," Bast said with a strange smile on his face as he looked at the people of Marse, "Prince Simon, if your Marse Empire isn't trying to be hostile toward Chambord, why are you so nervous and pressing right now?"

What Bast said was neutral and proper, instantly calming down those who were friendly yet nervous about being inside this [Water Screen Heavenly Glare].

'Humph! I don't care about that! Protecting your citizens is something that you should do, but the existence of this magic array formation makes me uncomfortable! I will give you guys three seconds to remove it! Otherwise, the masters of Marse are going to attack!" With an arrogant expression on his face, Prince Simon threatened.

Then, the three warriors of Marse slowly walked out, and the warrior energy flames around them intensified.

After sensing their real power, the other guests on the square thought to themselves in surprised, "They are real Moon-Class Elites!"

It looked like Prince Simon of Marse had the backing to be arrogant.

The smarter people in the VIP areas suddenly thought of something, and their expressions started to change .
At this moment, even idiots could tell that Prince Simon of Marse was trying to find an excuse to flip out on the King of Chambord, and it was clear that this was set up beforehand .

Jumping out at this critical moment and giving Chambord a ridiculous request clearly sent a message!

Asking Chambord to put away a forbidden-spell-level magic array formation alone was a reckless request, and it was clear that Prince Simon was trying to find an excuse to attack Chambord .

The smell of conspiracy and killing dispersed into the air .

Several masters from the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the Marse Empire expressed hostility toward Chambord, and everything wasn't as simple as it seemed .

This wedding night wasn't going to be smooth .

…

The three masters from Marse Empire moved forward silently without saying a word, and their powerful auras crashed forward mercilessly .

"Hahaha! Open this magic array at this instant! Otherwise, I'm going to give them the order to kill everyone here! Humph! You are only a little affiliated kingdom! How dare you ignore the request from a prince? If I don't teach you a lesson, you would never understand the difference between getting lucky and real power!" Prince Simon of Marse said proudly . As he pointed at Chambordians, mockery was unhidden on his face .

"Two Moon-Class Elites of yours are already occupied! How could a little affiliated kingdom have more Moon-Class Elites?" he thought .

It was also the thoughts in many guests' minds .

However, just as people thought that Chambord was in a huge disadvantage, something shocking occurred again .

"Humph! Shameless b*stards! You aren't even that powerful! Is the Marse Empire that good?" a cold sneer sounded from the northern area on the square, and three figures walked out in a line .

They stood in front of the 100 bylaw enforcement officers and Head Minister Bast, looking like they formed a giant wall . The powerful auras of the three warriors of the Marse Empire were shattered once they met these three people as if waves smashed onto giant reefs .

"Three more Moon-Class Elites? This is impossible!" someone cried out in shock .

"Impossible!" This phrase had been used more than four times in less than half an hour!

Every time something looked deadly and hopeless, Chambord would create a miracle!

One of the three masters of Chambord had short silver hair, and he was burly, giving people a suffocating pressure . As golden warrior energy flames enveloped him, his aura told everyone what realm he was on without having to fly in the sky .

One of the other masters had short black hair and was thin and tall . His arms reached his knees, and his face was a bit white despite his shiny, eagle-like eyes . The last person was a bit shorter and looked like he was in his twenties . He gave people an agile feeling as if he was going to disappear into the air in the next moment .

"It is Mr . Pierce, Mr . Cech, and Mr . Robbin!"

The Chambordians who were standing outside the magic array were excited . They instantly recognized the three people! These warriors were all pretty weak before, but they got so powerful under the nurturing of their king!

The outsiders who researched into Chambord's past all lost the ability to speak temporarily .

Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit accidentally squeezed Oka, the little disabled dog, too hard, making the latter bark loudly .

"Pierce! Guardian of Golden Capricorn Mountain! Gold Saint of Capricorn!"

Pierce learned how to show off from his king, so he put on the coolest pose and stated his identity slowly by emphasizing each word . His sharp eyes instantly locked onto one of the three Moon-Class Elites from Marse, and he immediately dashed forward and punched out, casting a sword energy .

At this moment, a cloud of blue flames suddenly appeared on the square .

In the next second, the audience saw something unimaginable!

Pierce and this Moon-Class Elite of Marse were enveloped by another blue half-square which had the diameter of about 20 meters . The ground inside the half-square suddenly displayed a hexagram, and various mysterious blue magic runes flashed around, building a wall made from lights .

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two Moon-Class Elites each struck out more than 100 times in that short time window, and sharp energies that could penetrate mountains appeared and spilled in all direction . However, as soon as they collided with the blue light wall, they disappeared instantly, not even causing a ripple on it .
"An… another forbidden-spell-level magic array?" people thought .

"No! This… is a battle seal! It is [Water God Battle Seal]! Damn it! How did Chambord get its hands on this kind of magic array?" [War Pirate] Mellberg reacted first .

Even though he had experienced a lot of things, he gasped in shock . It was enough to prove how unique and powerful this array was .

Only the real powerful masters knew the abilities of battle seals .

Mellberg's face suddenly turned ugly, and he grew fearful for the first time . He even doubted the success rate of tonight's operation .

The Chambord Kingdom, the King of Chambord… He couldn't see through them .

At the same time, two more clouds of blue flames appeared .

The other two Moon-Class Elites of Marse encountered their opponents, and they had nowhere to hide .

Before they could do anything, the two [Water God Battle Seal] that suddenly appeared blocked them, making them unable to coordinate with each other . They had no choice but to take on the warriors of Chambord heads-on .

"Guardian of Golden Scorpio Mountain! Gold Saint of Scorpio, Cech!"

"Guardian of Golden Libra Mountain! Gold Saint of Libra, Robbin!"

The two shouts sounded in the [Water God Battle Seals], and the two warriors of Chambord attacked at the same time . Golden metal-elemental warrior energy and green wind-elemental warrior energy both shined, and they used their most powerful ultimate techniques on their opponents .

On the square, loud explosion noises sounded within the three [Water God Battle Seals] .

The terrifying energy surges appeared like tsunamis, and they even covered the figures of the six masters . Even though the light walls created by the [Water God Battle Seals] blocked most of the energies, the guests on the square could still sense how violent the battles were .

To most of the guests, they had never witnessed death battles of Moon-Class Elites this close, and they were very excited . The Star-level Warriors focused all their attention on the three battles, wanting to sense everything . Perhaps a move or a moment could inspire them and help them break through their thresholds .

At this movement, on the nine-leveled platform, King Alexander of Chambord and his two beautiful fiancées walked up the stairs calmly and casually . As their robes and dresses fluttered in the wind, they proceeded forward like a god and two goddesses . Right now, no one was paying attention to them due to the battles that were going on, and they were only four levels away from the ninth level .

If it were any other king, being threatened by both the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] as well as the Marse Empire would scare them to death and make them beg for mercy .

However, none of this was even though to make the King of Chambord turn around and acknowledge them .

"Humph! The King of Chambord! Aren't you a little arrogant? Both Group Leader Mellberg and Prince Simon asked you questions, but you completely ignored them… Do you really think that since this is your territory, no one would uphold fairness and justice?" Another person stood out of the VIP area .

He was Prince Sark of the Maze Empire, and there were also three masters standing behind him .

It was the similar attitude, words, provocation, and excuse . Most people didn't expect Prince Sark of Maze to stand against the Chambord Kingdom, just like Prince Simon of Marse . It was clear that he was representing the will of the Maze Empire as a whole .

"How did the Chambord Kingdom trigger so many powerful forces?" Many people thought . As they felt like tonight's event was moving toward a terrifying and unpredictable future, something occurred .

Bam!

A figure fell from the sky and smashed onto the ground .

It was the first Moon-Class Elite of Chambord who stood out, Drogba, and this muscular man had several deep and bloody wounds on his body . Blood flowed out of the wounds continuously, staining half of his body . As he half-kneeled on the ground and propped himself up using his right arm, his blood even soaked the ground under him .

"From the look of it… Is Drogba defeated?" people thought .

Just as when people thought Chambord lost the first battle, another figure fell from the sky and landed onto the ground like a meteor, sending a ton of dust and chipped stones into the air . This figure didn't move after he fell .

It was [Bitter Murder God] Elm, the famous Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] .

This famous butcher was now… dead!

Everyone's face froze!

Mellberg opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe what he saw! Elm was one of his most trusted subordinates and was like his arm to him . Elm was an experienced Moon-Class Elite who had been through thousands of battles, but he died here at Chambord?

The overbearing Prince Sark of Maze suddenly felt cold after seeing this, and his opened mouth didn't say anything .

"Yuck!" Under everyone's stare, Drogba who was stained in blood slowly stood up and whipped the blood off his face . With battle-hungriness still in his eyes, he spat out a mouthful of spit mixed with blood, and he sneered like a ferocious beast .

"Uphold justice? Who? You? What a f*cking joke! Where is justice? What is justice? F*cking tell me!"

Chapter 666: Deaths of Masters (Part One)

"You… You… How dare you talk to me like that?"

Prince Sark of Maze was furious after hearing Drogba's words. As a prince of a mighty empire, he was only weaker than a few people and more powerful than millions! There were a ton of soldiers and masters under his command, and his status was prestigious! The fact that the warrior of a little kingdom talked to him in such a rude manner made him so mad that he couldn't even speak properly, and his elegance and demeanor of a prince were all lost.

"Hehe, Your Highness, please calm down; he is not worthy! Although this bug of Chambord is a Moon-Class Elite, he is half dead! I only need to strike him once to decapitate him! Your Highness could use his head as a ball and kick it for fun!" A bearded master of Maze stood out from behind Prince Sark and said with a vicious grin.

He was stunned by Drogba's fearlessness and battle-hunger, but he couldn't wait to jump out now. He could tell that Drogba was severely injured from the previous battle. After all, [Bitter Murder God] Elm was an infamous Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], but Drogba was only someone who recently reached this level.

Although Drogba surprised everyone and killed his opponent, he was severely injured. Without his combat abilities, this bearded master of Maze thought he could take advantage of this situation.

"Ok! Really torture him and don't let him die to fast! I need this bug whine and cry as his blood gets drained from him!" Prince Sark said in hatred.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! I will make this bug regret ever being born!" the bearded master replied.

He walked a few steps forward and instantly released his aura. Streaks of blue warrior energy flames enveloped him, and splashing sounds of water resonated in the area as if there were endless ocean waves. It was clear that he was a Moon-Class Elite.

Drogba couldn't even stand up straight at the moment. It was impossible for him to fight another Moon-Class Elite.

Sitting in one of the VIP areas, a handsome young man who had blond hair lightly sighed. He looked at the young king who already set foot on the ninth level of the platform and felt like it was time for him to do work. Just as he turned around, smiled at the two beautiful girls who were in tight-fit bodysuits, and was about to stand up, something happened again.

Whoosh! Bam!

A loud, ear-piercing noise sounded, and a dash of green warrior energy flames fell from the sky as if it was another meteor. It smashed onto the ground and left a long tail in the sky.

When the dust settled, everyone looked there and was stunned again.

After a moment of silence, everyone looked at [War Pirate] Mellberg in sympathy.

At this moment, Mellberg himself shivered, and his eyes turned bright red. The insane amount of anger and pain put him in a berserk mode; even his face was twisted.

It turned out that the other Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] who was fighting Torres in the sky died!

He had a hoarse voice and a gloomy expression, and his death was also tragic.

A mystic black arrow that had a silver glare shot this mage in the heart from above and pinned him onto the ground! The arrow penetrated his left chest and destroyed his ribs and heart, and it killed this ice-elemental mage who was scary to many people and nailed his corpse right next to [Bitter Murder God] Elm.

Masters died!

The two masters of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], the Moon-Class Elites who were like left and right arms of [War Pirate] Mellberg, the two infamous people who dominated over the region and had their hands stained in blood…

They had been through thousands of battles and killed many powerful masters! Who could have thought that they would fail at the little Chambord Kingdom, dying before having the opportunity to escape?

It was deadly silent.

To the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], it was a huge blow!

Chapter 666: Deaths of Masters (Part Two)

After today, this no.1 mercenary group in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit would fall in rankings! After losing about 40% of its top-tier combat power, this title wouldn't belong to them anymore.

As people started to gasp and murmur, a cloud of green warrior energy flames appeared on the square.

After the warrior energy flames died down, [Son of Wind] Torres appeared beside Drogba. He was in a much better condition compared to [Black-Haired Vicious Fist]. Except for a layer of blue frost under his knees, there weren't any injuries on him. As his long blond hair fluttered in the wind, his handsome face and slender figure were shined upon by the moon, making him look like a holy elf.

The murmurs on the square finally reached an unstoppable level!

It got louder and louder.

In the end, almost everyone couldn't suppress their shocks and started chatting amongst themselves while ignoring the reactions of people like Mellberg.

It seemed like Second Prince Dominguez was already used to this. As he lightly squinted his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking about. On the other hand, Oka the dog looked around in his arms, acting very energetic and curious.

[Demonic Woman] Paris was so shocked that her beautiful face twitched as her mouth opened to an O-shaped, and [Red Beard] Granello was rubbing his face subconsciously while pulling out his beard, that he treasured, one hair at a time.

The mysterious gold-masked Group Leader of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] sat still on the chair. Since this gold mask blocked this person's face, others didn't know what the reaction was. Instead, the three giant warriors who were standing behind this person got excited.

These three warriors were only wearing tight-fit leather shorts, and they weren't wearing anything on the top. With their axes on their backs, it was clear that the ferociousness of the warriors of Chambord stirred up their battle-hunger as well.

Prince Gurkov of Bordeaux looked excited, but the four young knights who were dressed in fancy armors behind him were scared. As their faces paled, they looked down and didn't dare to glance at that demon-like young king on the platform.

In the area where the people of the Holy Church were sitting, Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano's faces paled as well. They were sweating a lot, and their clothes were soaked. However, the white-haired elderly priest who was sitting beside them already calmed down, and he was looking around with a confident smile on his face as if he were watching a show

The best part wasn't here yet!

-In the center of the square-

The sudden change surprised that bearded Moon-Class Elite of Maze, and he stopped his steps.

He was confident in dealing with Drogba who was severely injured, but he was no longer sure of himself when Torres landed. He wasn't a ferocious warrior in the first place, and he only jumped out when he saw he could take advantage of the situation. Since the situation had changed, he started to hesitate.

"Yuck! How could such a coward say that he can decapitate me?" Drogba sneered with disdain when he saw this.

Although Torres just stood there and didn't say anything, the mocking smirk on his face told everyone how he felt about this.

"What are you waiting for! Go and kill him!" Prince Sark of Maze was embarrassed by this, and he shouted angrily.

After various expressions appeared on this bearded Moon-Class Elite's face, he clenched his teeth and looked like a prisoner who was about to be hung. As he looked at the two masters of Chambord, he hesitated and said, "This is a two on one, and it is not fair. If you have the guts, fight me one on one!"

"Hahaha!" Drogba instantly laughed out loud, and the mockery wasn't hidden at all.

Torres lightly shook his head and smiled uncontrollably as well.

"What? You guys don't have the guts?" This bearded man was truly talented. He let go of everything and stuffed his honor and dignity into his underwear. He provoked, "If you aren't daring enough, get the f*ck out of my face! I don't want to fight with two cowards!"

Chapter 667: Real Warriors (Part One)

Before this bearded Moon-Class Elite could finish speaking, Drogba suddenly stopped laughing and opened his eyes wide. As his aura expanded and looked like a demon, he suddenly stepped up and took a step forward.

Even though all the newly-formed scars on his body burst open, and blood flowed down his body, it seemed like he didn't even notice it.

As he walked forward dominantly, he roared, "B*stard! If you have the balls, come and fight me one on one! If I can't destroy you with one strike, I wouldn't be a warrior under King Alexander His Majesty's command!"

His loud voice and viciousness instantly made all the guests on the square sensed a chill.

Even those who opposed Chambord had to give Drogba a thumb up. In their mind, this Gold Saint of Taurus was a real warrior!

"Hahaha! Good! You said that! I will give you some face and fight you!" The bearded Moon-Class Elite was thrilled to see that Drogba fell for his provocation trickery, and he instantly walked up just in case his opponent regretted this.

Even though Drogba was still staggering a little and couldn't stand still, he was staring at his opponent with cold glares.

The bearded Moon-Class Elite walked forward. He was in his best state, so it was hard for Drogba to win in almost any circumstance.

If Drogba wanted to fight, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.

Drogba would be dead for sure.

Just as many people felt pity toward Drogba and didn't want the tragedy to take place, a dash of green light suddenly flashed by. To everyone's surprise, a handsome and slender blond young man appeared in front of Drogba and blocked this bearded master's way.

"I will take over for Mr. Drogba and fight you this time," this young man said with a bright smile on his face, and it stole the spotlight from the surroundings and the stars in the sky.

There were hundreds of green dots flying around this blond young man, looking like many green fireflies that were intimate toward him. Even though he didn't reveal any powerful aura, that abundant and vast life energy around him dispersed into the area, making everyone aware of his power.

"Who is he?" everyone was wondering.

Since this young man walked out of one of the VIP areas, he couldn't be from Chambord. However, since he was willing to fight for Chambord, it was clear that he was a friend of the kingdom.

"Is he a friend of Chambord or a secret trump card of Chambord? From the surprised expressions on the Chambordians' faces, it doesn't seem like they know him. Also, he is so handsome that it is out of this world!" the guests thought.

Even though there were many handsome young men on the square today such as Gold Saint Torres of Sagittarius, Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit, and King Alexander of Chambord, they were still inferior to this blond young man!

"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Drogba shivered and asked in confusion.

Torres was surprised as well.

"Akinfeev. I have fought with King Alexander His Majesty once before, and we could be counted as friends. When my friend is in trouble, it is normal for me to stand out." This blond young man smiled and said in an earnest tone. As soon as he said that, everyone in the area believed him! His voice was that magical!

All the guests looked at him with strange expressions.

"They have fought before? Since they are barely friends, he is still willing to stand out and fight for King Alexander of Chambord? He is now standing against the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and several powerful empires. He is either very dumb and loyal or very vicious and sly!" people thought.

"Eh? Great! Hahahaha! You are a real friend of Chambord to stand out at a time like this! I'm honored to be able to stand with you!" Drogba laughed heroically but soon shook his head.

Chapter 667: Real Warriors (Part Two)

"However, I need to fight this battle!" his tone was filled with determination.

Drogba's decision surprised everyone.

"Are all Chambordians this crazy?" the guests thought.

"Your body…" Akinfeev frowned.

"Although I'm injured, I can still take care of this ball-less coward with ease! I, Drogba, am one of the best gold saints under our supreme king's command; how can a dog like him scare me?" Drogba said loudly with power, and it resonated in the sky, even changing the weather a little.

Even though that bearded Moon-Class Elite of Maze had a thick face, he got angry and roared, "Ok! I will grant your wish today! Let me see how an injured trash like you could battle with me!"

Then, he unleashed all of his power, creating the noises of ocean waves crashing against each other, and the water elements quickly condensed in the area. Although this man lacked character and virtues, he was a powerful master.

Blond Akinfeev paused for a second but ended up moving away.

Drogba nodded at Akinfeev with a big smile on his face. Then, he turned to that bearded master with a cold grin filled with disdain.

As he walked forward, he staggered with blood flowing out of his wounds continuously. He was basically creating a path of blood as he moved forward.

His condition was worrying. Many people felt like this brave and stubborn warrior of Chambord was going to fall and faint in the next moment, let alone taking on a powerful Moon-Class Elite.

"Too stubborn! Way too stubborn! Although he is fierce and brave, what he is doing now is too risky!"

"If he continues with this, is it any different from seeking his own death?"

"Is the King of Chambord going to let one of his henchmen die like this? Is he going to turn a blind eye to this?"

Many guests didn't want to witness a tragedy, and some of them started to complain about King Alexander. Even though completing the wedding ceremony was important, but how could he let a brave and loyal warrior under his command, who was a Moon-Class Elite, die like this?

"Is this king's heart made from metal?"

Vicious grins were already showing on Prince Simon of Marse and Prince Sark of Maze's faces.

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish! You should be honored that you can die under my ultimate Moon-Class Combat Technique, Death Water Stacking Tsunami! Hahahahaha! Death! Water! Stacking! Tsunami!" this bearded Moon-Class Elite of Maze shouted, and his body dashed around like lightning. He left several blue afterimages in the area, and they turned into fast-spinning drill heads once he struck out, forming clouds of deadly hurricanes and tsunamis.

This combat technique was very powerful; it brought along a sense of death. No wonder it was a Moon-Class Combat Technique.

On the other side, Drogba started to shiver, and the orange warrior energy flames on him already dimmed. It seemed like he was so weak that he couldn't even dodge.

A lot of guests already closed their eyes; they didn't want to see such a brave warrior die like this. Some of them even gasped.

A vicious grin shined on the face of that bearded Moon-Class Elite.

In an instant, the blue energy dashed toward him and was about to envelop him completely.

At this moment, Drogba who was as weak as faint candlelight in a crazy wind stood tall.

As bright light shone in his eyes, he no longer looked weak. His orange warrior energy flames instantly brightened, and a huge strange-shaped shield suddenly dashed out of his body and appeared in his hands.

"B*stard! Come here!" Drogba laughed like a mad beast and roared, "I will let you know the power of Chambord warriors! I will let you know that cowards like you could never defeat us! Take this! Ultimate strike of Gold Saint of Taurus! Gigantic! Long! Horn!"

Chapter 668: Many Dangers (Part One)

As Drogba roared, he picked up this huge shield with one of his arms. He lowered his center of gravity, tiled his body to one side so that his shoulder was pressing on the back of the shield, and dashed forward rapidly. His huge shield, [Holy Collision], was pushed forward like a colossal defense wall, and it took his opponent by surprise.

At that moment, everyone felt like they saw a vague golden image of a huge bull behind Drogba. As that image appeared, it seemed like that golden bull tilted its head forward and targeted its two sharp horns toward the bearded Moon-Class Elite.

As the golden bull charged forward with an indescribable power, the pressure it brought was merciless!

Whoosh!

The orange warrior energy flames and blue warrior energy flames quickly passed each other.

The terrifying warrior energy explosion that would occur after a huge collision didn't appear, and the battleground which was very fancy and full of action suddenly froze.

"Eh… Puff! How is this possible? That shield… it is… a… high-level combat weapon!" The bearded Moon-Class Elite of Maze opened his eyes wide. Until his pupils expanded and he died, he couldn't believe that it was him who lost the battle.

There were many wounds on his body as if many blades cut it, and blood gushed out of these openings on his body and formed blood fountains.

In the end, he couldn't stand still and collapsed onto the ground. His magic leather armor was completely shattered, and his blue warrior energy flames were extinguished and went away like smoke.

Instant kill!

This powerful Moon-Class Elite was instantly killed by Drogba's ultimate strike even though he used his ultimate technique as well!

This ending surprised everyone! They felt like they were dreaming or watching a poorly written play! Everything that had happened was too unimaginable!

The actual ending was completely different from people's anticipations! Even the Goddess of Fate might not have written this into the two warriors' fates!

As all the guests looked at Drogba who was trembling and about to fall, they couldn't suppress their shock!

That figure who was covered in blood didn't look messy and weak at all! Instead, people felt like he was as extraordinary as a huge mountain and was unparalleled.

Of course, some people's eyes were glued onto Drogba's huge shield, [Holy Collision].

"That is a combat weapon! It is a unique and powerful weapon! From the power it unleashed during the battle, it is at least a level 5 combat weapon!"

"How can Chambord have a level 5 combat weapon? It doesn't belong to an affiliated kingdom! Only the legendary forge master could create it… Could it be that there is a mysterious and unknown forge master at Chambord City?"

"There are a lot of secrets around Chambord! Hahahaha! If our [Dragon Hunt Operation] is successful, the number of treasures we can get will far surpass our most optimistic estimation!"

"Since this master named Drogba has a level 5 combat weapon, does it mean… the other masters of Chambord also have combat weapons?"

After thinking about that, those masters who had malicious intents began to breathe heavily.

They all knew the importance of having a combat weapon! Even the powerful Moon-Class Elites didn't have combat weapons most of the time. This was demonstrated in the battle between Drogba and that bearded Moon-Class Elite of Maze. Without a combat weapon, that bearded Moon-Class Elite was instantly killed by Drogba who was already severely injured beforehand! The key was that the warrior of Chambord had a combat weapon!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After a short moment of silence, changes occurred.

Chapter 668: Many Dangers (Part Two)

People started to dash forward from the VIP areas. Dozens of figures rushed toward Drogba who was even more injured, and they had the same idea on their minds; they wanted to rob this combat weapon, [Holy Collision], from this warrior of Chambord when he was the weakest.

"Shameless!"

"Spineless!"

"F*ck off!"

"Do you want to die?"

A series of angry shouts sounded from the seating area of Chambord, and various colored warrior energy flames shone like fireworks in the sky. The well-prepared masters of Chambord dashed out even faster and tried to stop the people who wanted to steal the [Holy Collision].

Among the masters of Chambord, one burly figure with silver lightning around him was the most eye-catching.

In an instant, he struck out three times, turning three enemies into clouds of blood mists. Then, he quickly landed beside Drogba, grabbed the latter by the shoulder, and brought him back to the seating area of Chambord.

Gold Saint Lampard of Leo! The man who was only weaker than King Alexander in the Chambord Kingdom.

As if he were a tiger in a herd of sheep, he quickly saved Drogba who was severely injured and took back the level 5 combat weapon, [Holy Collision].

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The masters started to fight on the square, and the warrior energy surges and magic energy surges collided, making a ton of noises and sending out a ton of residual energies.

After a short while, both parties sensed the power of each other.

Especially since Lampard revealed his mighty strength, he deterred a group of malicious masters.

Both parties slowly backed off carefully, and about 30 people who were fighting clearly separated into two groups.

From the number of masters, Chambord was in a clear disadvantage.

Lampard, Torres, Oleg, and Akinfeev… So far, there were only four Moon-Class Elites on the side of Chambord who still had combat abilities.

Standing on the other side, there were about 24 masters. Except for a few prestigious princes, the rest were all Moon-Class Elites of various empires. None of them showed their real identity before, but they all unleashed their power now. Their bright warrior energy flames shone, and their auras dispersed into the area like powerful ocean waves. The collective auras of these masters made it a little suffocating for everyone else who was weaker.

"Hehehe, four against 24! The difference in strength is huge! The Chambordians are dead for sure!"

"Six empires, seven noble families, two mercenary groups… Hahaha! Even though the Chambord Kingdom is much more powerful than we anticipated, the ending would be the same! No one can stand in the way of our [Dragon Hunt Alliance]! Chambord City is going to be washed by blood tonight!"

"Hand over all your combat weapons! King of Chambord, destroy your own cultivation strength and power! Then, all the Moon-Class Elites, you need to swear loyalty to us! If you do all this, we won't slaughter all the citizens of Chambord. Otherwise… Hehehehehe, none of the lives of Chambord shall be spared!

"All the guests! Tonight, it is only about Chambord, and you guys aren't affected! Just sit still and watch the show! Otherwise, you will be killed as well!"

With an absolute advantage, the members of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] all laughed viciously and revealed who they were.

Except for the Marse Empire, the Maze Empire, and the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], there was the Lance Empire, the Lear Empire, the Rain Empire, the Tulu Empire…

All the envoy groups from the big empires had Moon-Class Elites hidden in them, and they tore off their disguises and put away their fake smiles, revealing their vicious fangs!

It was a group of devastating force! It was unstoppable!

Six empires, seven noble families, two mercenary groups… A total of 24 Moon-Class Elites! If they wanted to, they could wipe out 99% of the empires in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit!

"Poor Chambordians! Although you showed surprising strength, tonight is not your night! In front of absolute power, you guys are doomed!" [War Pirate] Mellberg finally relaxed. The power of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] was revealed, and he didn't need to fight alone! The scale of victory was heavily tilting toward them.

"Kneel and beg for mercy! Surrender and hand out your treasures! Also, give us the blueprint for that battle seal! This is your only option!" Prince Simon of Marse laughed arrogantly.

"Humph! If you dare to resist, we will kill all the citizens of Chambord, no matter male or female, young or old!" Prince Sark of Maze added murderously.

Chapter 669: Give You an Opportunity (Part One)

The absolute advantage allowed the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] to gain complete control over the situation. The power of more than 20 Moon-Class Elites was dominating, and it was enough to crush any opposition.

"Why are we wasting time with these low-lives? Let's all attack! After killing all the members of Chambord and taking over, all the treasures here will be ours!" [War Pirate] Mellberg said murderously. After losing two experienced Moon-Class Elites on his side, he hated Chambord to an extreme. He couldn't wait to take down the King of Chambord and wipe out this kingdom.

"Hahahaha! Yeah, I agree! Let's all attack together, and no one can stop us!"

The 24 Moon-Class Elites released their auras, and the enormous amount of pressure pressed toward the seating area of Chambord.

As the tsunami-like energy surges blew by, those 100 bylaw enforcement officers who were standing in front of the seating area were blown into the air like straws in a storm, and they couldn't even stand still after they were thrown into the seating area.

Lampard, Torres, Oleg, and Akinfeev stood still with their warrior energy flames burning brightly, but it was still not enough to rival with the forces on the other side.

The numbers disadvantage they had was way too difficult to overcome.

At this moment, only that white-haired elderly priest who was sitting in the seating area of the Holy Church, as well as the few Moon-Class Holy Knights behind him, were smiling confidently.

The situation was tilting to an extreme degree! The boat known as Chambord was about to go down at any second now!

If Chambord didn't have any more trump cards or helpers, it couldn't escape from its fate of being exterminated.

At this critical moment, all the Chambordians who were either inside or outside the square held each other's hands, sensed the heartbeats of their peers, and didn't get scared. In front of the danger, none of them chose to escape. Instead, they straightened their backs, opened their eyes wide, and sang with their loudest voice.

"There is a wide river that has big waves… Chambordians live to the north of the river and listen to the rumble of Zuli… This is a great land, and our homes are open to all friends. But if wolves come by, they will be received by spears and arrows!"

An indescribable heroic yet tragic sensation appeared, and it permeated the tense atmosphere.

The Chambordians would never surrender! Even if the ending were death, none of them was going to yield!

The reason they were so brave was that they all had trust in their king! In their minds, their king was invincible!

This scene stunned the 24 Moon-Class Elites on the side of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]. At the moment, the people who they thought were low-lives demonstrated a level of courage that they didn't even possess! In fact, these Moon-Class Elites sensed a little ominous feeling! It was too rare!

"Go! Kill them all! Let's see how they can sing when they are dead!"

A Moon-Class Elite who had his face veiled up couldn't bear this atmosphere anymore. He roared and dashed toward the Moon-Class Elites of Chambord such as Lampard. As if his action suddenly triggered a stick of dynamite, three more Moon-Class Elites who were dressed in the same way also roared and dashed forward.

The battle began!

The upcoming battle was going to be bloody, and only one side could survive it!

Lightning energy flashed and cracked on Lampard, Torres pulled the bowstring, Oleg swung the huge hammer with its chains around his arm, and Akinfeev opened his palm, revealing a strong green bow that looked like a tree branch which just got cut off from a tree since it still had tree leaves with drops of dew on it!

Chapter 669: Give You an Opportunity (Part Two)

Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle! Battle!

At this moment, almost everyone was roaring in their minds! They all unleashed their power and got to their peak states!

However, something these Moon-Class Elites in the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] didn't anticipate occurred.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four golden sword energies suddenly dashed from the nine-leveled, white stone platform that wasn't too far away. As if they were lights from gods, the brightness of the sword energies was eye-piercing, almost blinding everyone in the region. They looked magnificent and were like the condemnations of the gods.

As they torn through the sky, they entered the zone where battles were about to break out.

"Ah!"

"Eh… Puff!"

"No! Save me!"

"AHHHH!"

Terrifying screams sounded in an instant, and they were so high-pitched that it almost broke people's eardrums. At the same time, these Moon-Class Elites were shocked.

In the next moment, several bloodflowers blossomed in the sky, beautiful and deadly. For a moment, flesh, chipped bones, shattered armors, broken weapons…

The four veiled Moon-Class Elites who were charging forward screamed as if they were demon beasts that were pieced by powerful magic arrows. As their screams resonated in the sky, their bodies blew up and stained the area.

"Sh*t!"

"Retreat!"

"Way too powerful! Who is it? How powerful is this person?"

"Damn it! It is the King of Chambord! The king attacked!"

The Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Operation] were all scared, and they couldn't help but feel depressed. As they sensed the power within those four golden sword energies, they felt defeated; none of them was able to fight against it! All their greedy and wicked thoughts disappeared in an instant.

They dashed forward fast but backed off even faster!

The Moon-Class Elites who were yelling arrogantly were now screaming and backing off with pale faces.

They all could tell how much power was contained within each of those golden sword energies. Those veiled Moon-Class Elites all had the power of level 9 top-tier New Moon, and they were only one step away from Half Moon! However, they couldn't defend against those terrifying golden sword energies for one bit!

It was one-sided domination!

"This is too much!" they thought.

"Hahaha, idiots! Ridiculous! Do you really think that my Chambord can be damaged by a bunch of cowards like you who are hiding everywhere?" a cold voice sounded from the ninth level on that tall white stone platform in the northern area on the square.

Even though this voice didn't sound vicious, it was magnificent and supreme! Anyone who heard it would feel like kneeling and worshipping him!

The King of Chambord!

King Alexander of Chambord!

All the guests looked up and saw that this legendary young king finally stepped onto the top level of the platform that had nine levels and 36 steps.

In his sky-blue robe, the King of Chambord stood there firmly with his long black hair fluttering in the wind. His two queens were standing beside him, glancing at the people on the square and in the area from above.

In fact, the expression on the king's face was calm; it seemed like the 24 Moon-Class Elites were nothing in his eyes! It looked like he was staring at 24 kids who were misbehaving!

His attitude completely disregarded these masters!

However, even in this situation, none of the Moon-Class Elites on the side of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] even dared to stare back at the King of Chambord. They felt like an ancient beast traveled through time and was staring at them, and they were so afraid that they were shivering a little.

Even the vicious [War Pirate] Mellberg looked away subconsciously at this moment.

All the Chambordians on and outside the square were also shivering, but they were shaking in excitement.

This was their king!

Their invincible king!

"[War Pirate] Mellberg! Didn't you say that you want to talk to me? I will give you the opportunity! Come on and tell me your reasons for interrupting my wedding! Let's see if it is enough to justify your bad behavior!" Fei stared at this group leader of Wind Horse tightly and said in a calm tone.

He seemed so calm that it was truly terrifying!

Chapter 670: The Fall of an Infamous Warrior (Part One)

"I…" Faced with the King of Chambord's question, Mellberg somehow felt a little weak.

Right now, the power of the King of Chambord updated in his mind, and it was far beyond his most pessimistic estimate. From the power contained in those four golden sword energies, he knew that this young man was at least a peak Full Moon Elite and very close to the realm of Sun-Class.

It was clear to Mellberg that he couldn't rival with the King of Chambord! If he forced it, he would die for sure!

However, since the current situation was already in this state, he couldn't pull back! After all, an arrow that was shot out couldn't be pulled back.

After he turned around and looked at the few figures who were sitting in their seats further away, he suddenly got some confidence and said, "Last night, 150 elite mercenaries of our [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] died and disappeared! There is enough evidence to prove that your people killed my brothers! Alexander, what excuses do you have for this? How can you compensate us?"

"Compensate?" As if he heard the funniest joke in the world, Fei sneered and replied, "Too bad that you wasted this opportunity. Why do I need to compensate you for anything? Since more than 100 mercenaries sneaked into my Chambord City without people knowing, I'm sure you know why they are here. Since they have malicious intent, they deserve to die! I haven't gotten the chance to question you, but you dare to bring up this topic first?"

"Impossible! All my brothers in the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] are honorable mercenaries, and they couldn't have bad intent! Even if they are doing something wrong, only I can punish them. I was right here in the city last night! Before your men killed my brothers, have you thought about informing me, the group leader?" Mellberg turned the whole thing around with a few words and questioned Fei with a cold grin on his face.

"Hahahahah! Inform you? Who do you think you are?" Fei laughed.

In the next moment, Fei suddenly stopped laughing and stared at Mellberg with a pitiful and mocking smile.

"It looks like the arrogant and reckless behaviors these years made the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] forget how much power it has. You are right; your mercenaries were killed by my warriors one by one. There is no argument here, and I won't deny it. However, Mr. Mellberg, your nickname is [War Pirate]; do you really have no idea about why those 150 elite mercenaries of yours are here at Chambord City? Aren't you the person who selected them and told them to hide here? You already planned to sacrifice them, but you now are trying to act all virtuous… this is unexpected. Before, I thought that even though you are arrogant, you still have balls. From the look of it, your performance is truly disappointing. Come on! If you want to avenge for your mercenaries, come at me! Let me see if your [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] is powerful enough to do that!" Fei sneered as he said that.

"You…" Fei's words successfully provoked Mellberg, and this group leader was furious!

When he was trying to question Fei, he was being a little careful and even lied, which wasn't his style of doing things! He was the [War Pirate] and only liked to be upfront and overbearing.

From the beginning, Fei took control of the tempo and forced Mellberg out of his comfort zone. Therefore, Mellberg felt strange and weak, and it was infuriating for him.

He turned around and looked at the other two Moon-Class Elites behind him. "Let's move together and kill the King of Chambord!"

Before he finished whispering, Mellberg, Isaac, and that metal-elemental Moon-Class Elite who got pushed away by the magic array formation dashed forward at the same time and attacked!

For all these years, Mellberg was able to act recklessly in this region. On top of having many masters in [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], Mellberg was a powerful warrior as well. He was at peak Half Moon many years ago.

As he instantly unleashed his warrior energy flames and his aura, Fei could tell that he was about level 8 or level 9 top-tier Full Moon!

Behind him, both Isaac and that metal-elemental warrior were experienced Moon-Class Elites, and they had crawled out of corpse piles many times in their lifetime.

The three of them had battled against powerful masters frequently, and they coordinated very well; it seemed like they were using a kind of mysterious battle seal. Their powers were able to be stack up perfectly! Like waves in the ocean, they gave momentum to each other and grew into a tsunami.

Chapter 670: The Fall of an Infamous Warrior (Part Two)

The terrifying sensation enveloped more than half of the square, and their strikes flew at Fei who was standing on the top of the high platform in the north speedily.

Their combined strike was terrifying! On damage alone, it was comparable to the full-on strike of a peak Moon-Class Elite who was only one step away from Sun-Class.

Everyone held onto their breaths and paid attention to this battle; it was a critical moment.

Although the king demonstrated shocking power, it might be hard for him to take on this combined strike of three Moon-Class Elites! If these three people were able to distract the King of Chambord and buy time, then the rest of Chambord wouldn't be able to pose a threat…

The masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were warming up again, and they couldn't wait to attack.

However, things didn't go as planned.

"Is this the power of Wind Horse? Unfortunately, it is far from enough!"

Standing on the nine-leveled platform in the north, Fei lightly shook his head and raised his hand.

A huge golden hand appeared in the sky. This hand was so vivid that each finger, hair, pore, and strand of muscle was clearly depicted. In fact, people felt like they could even see the blood vessels underneath the skin! It looked like the hand of a god, and an indescribable majestic sensation enveloped everything.

As Fei clenched his fist, this huge golden hand that was made from energy also closed. It was so fast that it left a series of afterimages in the air, making the process look slow. From afar, it seemed like a golden lotus was slowly closing, creating an intoxicating image.

The hand turned into a fist.

"Invincible Emperor Fist!"

Fei moved his hand, and a golden fist that was about half a meter in each dimension flew out and dashed forward.

All of this took place in a second.

Except for the moving fist, nothing else was happening. There was no terrifying pressure and wave-like energy fluctuations.

In comparison, it seemed like the energy fist Fei cast was a little butterfly in the face of a terrifying dragon created by the other three Moon-Class Elites. This huge visual contrast made people feel like there was no way that the King of Chambord's strike could block the combined strike of the other three.

However, reality would confound their expectations

When the two energies collided, everything went against predictions. Like a hot knife that was cutting into butter, Fei's golden fist easily destroyed the combined strike of the three Moon-Class Elites who performed their techniques in a unique way.

Shock!

Angry roars!

Puking blood!

Flying back!

As the golden fist's power was unveiled, the energy surges and waves created by the combined strike disappeared at a visible speed! It felt like it was a drop of liquid on a hot stove!

Bam! Bam!

As soon as Isaac, who acted as the advisor of Wind Horse, and that metal-elemental Moon-Class Elite landed on the ground, their bodies exploded as desperate expressions appeared on their faces, staining the square.

Mellberg wasn't in a better situation. His body was covered in wounds and blood. Also, his skin bulged as if there were a monster running around under his skin.

Right now, he was regretting all his decisions.

He now knew that he shouldn't have agreed to this plan even though he was promised a lot of treasures. This trip to Chambord which he once thought was riskless buried all the top-tier masters of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group].

Also, to his surprise, that person who schemed everything just sat there and watched without having the intention of helping.

"You… don't get so happy! I… The real overlord of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]… Will wipe out your little Chambord City! You will be killed… AH!"

After saying this last sentence, Mellberg couldn't suppress that terrifying energy in his body, and he quickly enlarged like a balloon that was being blown.

Bam!

Just like his two subordinates, his body exploded, and his flesh and chipped bones fell from the sky.

An infamous warrior fell!

The [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] was destroyed and broken!

Chapter 671: Can I Kill Him? (Part One)

Quietness!

Absolute silence!

Retreat!

Retreat in fear!

The Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] who were standing on the square right now could only be silent and retreat!

They thought they were in control of everything, but they suddenly felt like sheep that were provoking a real grown dragon when the King of Chambord unexpectedly showcased his strength. It was ridiculous!

Their numbers advantage was rendered completely useless in front of such a huge power gap. Even if they charged at the King of Chambord together, they couldn't do any harm to him. On the contrary, they would be wiped out instead! Mellberg and his two subordinates were the best examples.

Right now, Prince Simon of Marse and Prince Sark of Maze were both terrified! They were shaking as their faces paled.

After thinking back to the words they said when they were provoking Chambord, they realized that they even called the King of Chambord directly by name! It was like kissing the Grim Reaper and playing with fire!

Fei glanced around, and the people whom he looked at all lowered their heads.

The Moon-Class Elites of [Dragon Hunt Alliance] backed off continuously until their backs were against the seating area in the south. Right now, they started to envy the guests who were still sitting down, and they regretted jumping out and expressing their hostility.

"It would be great if I am still sitting on my seat right now!" they fantasized.

"Bark! Bark! Bark!"

Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit lost his composure for the first time, and he accidentally dropped his warm liquor cup into his arms, making Oka, the little disabled dog, bark loudly.

In this strange silence, Oka's barking was ear-piercing and terrifying.

"…This is a great land, and our homes are open to all friends. But if wolves come by, they will be received by spears and arrows!"

The singing of Chambordians was still resonating in the guests' ears, and they finally understood how accurately the song depicted the attitude of Chambord.

"It looks like the so-called [Dragon Hunt Alliance] is just a big joke!" Fei shook his head and said to himself.

Even though the enemies who were facing him were Moon-Class Elites, their courage and will were both much weaker compared with the bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas. It looked like the comfortable and luxurious living conditions corrupted them, and their monotonous academy-style training made them mentally weak.

Even though the King of Chambord's words were full of mockery, none of the Moon-Class Elites dared to refute them. In fact, none of them even dared to look up and express their anger and displeasure.

The drastic difference in strength started to demolish the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] slowly but surely.

Some of them were even starting to consider surrendering right now so that they could save their lives.

However, at this moment -

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, a series of crisp claps sounded abruptly, and it was extremely casual and ear-piercing.

Everyone was surprised, and they looked in the direction of the noise.

A mid-aged man in white stood up from the seating area to the west.

He wasn't tall and muscular, but there was a mocking smile on his ordinary face.

As he clapped his hands, he slowly strode to the center of the square from where he was, and he laughed, "Great! This is great! King Alexander of Chambord, you sure didn't disappoint me! Peak Full Moon! One foot into Sun-Class! You are so young, yet you have achieved this level of strength. You are a genius for sure! Great! Little king, you should be honored! Your strength is worthy enough of my appearance!"

Such arrogant words!

Everyone was shocked by what they heard.

There were only two possible reasons to explain this mid-aged man's behavior: either he was an idiot, or he was indeed a great master!

The answer would be revealed soon.

A vast amount of energy started to appear on this man's body, and fresh-green wood-elemental warrior energy flames shone brightly on him. As this energy full of life dispersed into the area, all the plants started growing! Soon, the grasses that were seeded below the square grew out of the slits between tiles, and the square was slowly turning into a grassland! It was very lively under the empowerment of wood-elemental energy!

Chapter 671: Can I Kill Him? (Part Two)

The image of a moon slowly appeared behind this person's head, and it was almost turning into a sun! This was a sign that this person was at peak Full Moon and already set one foot into Sun-Class!

This ordinary-looking mid-aged man who was wearing a white robe was actually a powerful master who was very close to achieving Sun-Class!

"I'm Brando, the Captain of Royal Guards of the Leon Empire. Alexander, just commit suicide. This way, I don't need to kill you, and you can have a dignified death. I can promise you that once you die, the people of Chambord won't be killed as long as they don't rebel!"

As this mid-aged man in white said that, he walked toward the high platform where Fei was standing on. Every time he took a step forward, a swaying vine would grow out of the ground and keep him up, making it look like he was walking in air. It was a magnificent sight!

Fei's lips twitched, but he held himself back and did cuss out the word, dumb*ss.

The king thought he was already a big show-off, but he now met a guy who was even better at it!

"Did someone bang his head against a door? As soon as he opens his mouth, he asks others to commit suicide. Are all the masters from the Leon Empire this way? This man in white is acting like a dumb*ss, and so was that No.1 Royal Mage of the Leon Empire, Domenech. Man, I can't tell which one of them is stupider. Brando or Domenech?"

Seeing no reaction from Fei, white-robed Brando frowned and shouted, "What? Why aren't you committing suicide? Do you really think that you can escape from me?"

As he said that, he smiled proudly and flipped his hand. Then, a silver broadsword slowly appeared in his palm while spinning, and a terrifying sensation came along with it. With this sword in hand, Brando's power instantly increased more than seven to eight times!

Level 8 combat weapon!

This sword was a level 8 combat weapon!

No wonder this white-robed Brando was so arrogant! Since he had such a high-level combat weapon, and his strength was extremely close to Sun-Class, he was comparable to a newly-advanced Sun-Class Lord. Therefore, he was confident that he could suppress the King of Chambord easily.

"Eh? Alright! Since you still won't surrender, I will let you experience desperation!" Seeing that Fei was still not showing fear on his face, Brando was infuriated.

As a cold smile appeared on his face, he grabbed onto his level 8 combat weapon, and his power skyrocketed again! He was about to attack.

"Dumb*ss!" Fei couldn't help it and cussed in his mind. As he was about to slap this fly dead, Elena who had been silent beside Fei suddenly pulled Fei's sleeve and said with a frown, "Alexander, I don't like this person. Can I kill him?"

Even though Elena wasn't loud, everyone in the area heard her clearly. As a result, they were all stunned!

They gasped in unison and couldn't believe their ears!

"It looks like not only is the King of Chambord powerful and imposing, but this beautiful queen of his is also haughty and dominating!" people thought, "Some rumors said that this Queen of Chambord named Elena is a skillful archer, but that is it. There isn't any information about her having the power to rival with a master who already set one foot into Sun-Class. From the sound of her tone, it seems like this beautiful woman thinks that such a powerful master like this Brando with a level 8 combat weapon is a pig in a slaughterhouse!"

All the guests thought that this Queen of Chambord didn't know any better and was acting pettish in front of the King of Chambord, but the King of Chambord actually thought about it for a while in all seriousness and said, "Alright, but be quick and don't waste any time."

Everyone felt like puking up blood after hearing that!

"Is the King of Chambord's brain also not working? Why is he playing along with his woman who doesn't know any better?" people thought.

"Hahaha! Arrogance! I can turn you three into ghosts and undead creatures! You can go and love each other in hell!" Brando was enraged when he heard what Fei and Elena said. He was belittled, and that was a huge disgrace in his eyes.

With his hand on the level 8 combat weapon, he unleashed all his power. The mighty energy surges were so bright that people had a hard time opening their eyes, and all the people who were below Moon-Class, except for the Chambordians who were protected by array formations, were forced down onto the ground; they couldn't fight against it at all!

Right before their eyes were forced closed by the bright light, they vaguely saw Elena, who was in her red dress, standing on the high platform calmly, completely not affected by this.

As she lightly closed her hands, a simple yet ancient-looking battle bow appeared.

Bang!

The bowstring lightly vibrated.

Without any preparations or even aiming, she shot out three arrows almost at the same time.

Chapter 672: Being Disliked by the Valkyrie (Part One)

As soon as the three arrows were shot out, many people felt like laughing.

"Queen of Chambord, how come you are so casual? Are you trying to shoot a bird?" they thought, "You are facing a peak Full Moon Elite who is very close to advancing into Sun-Class, and he has a level 8 combat weapon! What is going on? Your casual attack is ridiculous! It is like trying to slap a huge dragon in the sky using a spatula!"

Even white-robed Brando felt like laughing. His wood-elemental warrior energy was being used to the peak, and loud booming and rumbling noises sounded from within his body like the sound of a fast-current river.

His entire body was enveloped by the fresh-green warrior energy flames, no longer visible to others, and his silver level 8 combat weapon shone brightly as he struck down with it.

"Die!" Brando shouted angrily as he attacked without mercy.

In his mind, this was a killing move! There was no way that his opponents could dodge or defend against it!

However, just as he laughed confidently and struck down with his sword, he suddenly felt like a terrifying beast was targeting him! An ominous sensation enveloped him abruptly without any signs, and it shocked him! Ever since he became a peak Full Moon Elite and got so close to Sun-Class, he had never sensed this chilling and scary feeling! All the hair on his body stood up!

"This… What is going on?….. Eh… AH!"

Brando's face changed color. Before he could react, both his throat and his chest feel streaks of cold energies.

In the next moment, all his power rushed out of his body like water in a flood, and unprecedented tiredness overtook him. He couldn't even stand still in the air, and his body swayed on a vine before falling. He felt like the level 8 combat weapon in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and he almost couldn't grasp it.

The bright fresh-green warrior energy flames instantly evaporated like vapor, immediately disappearing from the area.

Next, the newly-grown grasses, as well as the thick vines, withered quickly at a visible speed. Then, they dried up in an instant before getting blown into tiny yellow dust particles and disappearing into the air.

The forest-like square soon turned back to its original appearance, and the blood stains, as well as the corpses of the masters, reappeared.

"You… You….." Brando instantly fell to the ground, and his body shivered and staggered, unable to stand still.

This master of the Leon Empire no longer looked dashing and cool after he fell from those thick green vines. He slowly lowered his head and realized that there were now three small holes on his body. There was a small hole in his throat and two other holes on his chest where his nipples were.

It was clear that the arrows pierced his body, and mystic energies were left in his body. Currently, ice continued to form around his wounds and built thick blue ice walls. All his blood was being frozen inside his body.

Now, Brando finally realized something.

"This beautiful queen beside the King of Chambord is actually a mighty master! Three arrows from her easily defeated me when I have my level 8 combat weapon. I didn't even know when my body was pierced through… This… I overestimated myself, and I couldn't blame this on anyone else!" he thought.

Almost in an instant, the icy energy quickly spread through his entire body and turned him into a vivid ice sculpture.

Three icy arrows took away the life of a peak Full Moon Elite who was almost a Sun-Class Lord!

This shocking change dumbfounded everyone on the square!

Chapter 672: Being Disliked by the Valkyrie (Part Two)

"Queen Elena… actually has this kind of power? King Alexander… Where did he find such a beautiful yet mighty queen? This beauty easily killed a master who already set one foot into Sun-Class! This is the plot of a story that could only come out of the mouth of the most exaggerating storyteller!" people thought.

"I don't like this person. Can I kill him?" What Elena said was still resonating in people's ears! People thought she was being pettish, but now they realized what she meant and the consequences of being disliked by her.

Many young men who were energetic and liked to fantasize were terrified. After thinking about how they stared at the perfect figure of this beautiful queen as well as how they looked at her as if she was an ignorant woman when she made that comment…

After thinking back to how improper they acted, they all lowered their heads and were afraid of being 'disliked' by this mighty queen.

No one was able to bear the consequences of being disliked by the Valkyrie!

Fei was the only person in the area who wasn't surprised by this outcome.

Elena's strength was already at Nightmare Mode level 98, and she was only one step away from entering Hell Mode in Diablo World. Therefore, she had also step one foot into Sun-Class in real word's terms.

Regarding weapons, Elena used [M'avina's Caster – Grand Matron Bow], which was a component of a top-tier item set in Diablo World. Compared with the level 8 combat weapon Brando had, it was much more powerful!

Also, even though it looked like Elena shot out three arrows casually as if she was joking, she used her most powerful strike! She was able to comprehend Ancient Madawc's ultimate skill, [Throw Axes], and merge it into her archery skills.

With all these factors, as well as Brando being careless, combined, the fact that Elena killed Brando with three arrows was very reasonable.

Fei lightly waved his hand, and a dash of silver light flew up from the square and landed in his hand.

It was that level 8 combat weapon.

This scene woke up all those masters. As soon as they saw Fei doing that, they were mad at themselves for being stunned by what happened. They forgot to fight for this high-leveled combat weapon, and the King of Chambord was able to use this opportunity to seize it.

On the second thought, since there were so many masters in the area, it would be hard to fight for it. In addition, it was a treasure that technically belonged to the Leon Empire. Except for the King of Chambord, who else dared to take it so dominantly?

Fei carefully inspected this sword that looked majestic and noble. As he lightly knocked it with his finger, the crisp ringing noise resonated in the sky.

This was a thick broadsword that was symmetrical. There were four blood grooves on each side of the sword, and the blades were sharp. The handle and the guard of the sword looked simple yet fearless, giving people a firm sensation. For people who were powerful enough, it could be used by a single hand.

However, even though it was a rare high-level combat weapon, it was a bit inferior to the level 8 combat weapon, [Black Lightning], which was being used by Lampard right now.

As he nodded in satisfaction, Fei placed two fingers onto the sword and dispersed the powerful energy inside, turning this sword into an item that no longer had a spiritual connection with anyone.

After that, he slowly placed it into his storage space.

This scene made a lot of people swallow their saliva.

Chapter 673: Real Enemies (Part One)

Fei easily acquired a level 8 combat weapon! It was the dream of numerous warriors!

However, when the King of Chambord glanced around again, it forced many people to wake up from their greedy thoughts.

Soon, all the masters in the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] realized the situation that they were in.

Since Chambord now had King Alexander and Queen Elena here, they had the situation under complete control. If they want, they could instantly kill all the Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance].

If there weren't anything else that was going to happen, then Chambord would be the one who laughed until the end.

However, who knew that the King of Chambord suddenly looked in the direction of the seating area of the Holy Church. While standing on the high platform, Fei locked his eyes onto the representatives there.

After sensing Fei's stare, Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano who were extremely nervous and afraid quickly got off their chairs and kneeled onto the floor. They were shaking so violently that they couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Fei shook his head and ignored these two people; he was staring at the white-haired elderly priest who was sitting a bit behind them, and this old priest was very calm and relaxed.

Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on Fei's face, and he said something that no one expected.

"It is already at this point. Mr. Senxi, aren't you going to reveal yourself?"

As soon as Fei said that, this white-haired elderly priest suddenly opened his eyes wide and locked them onto Fei. His stare was as vicious as a man-eating beast, and he no longer looked calm and collected. The temperature in the area dropped by several degrees, and all guests felt like they couldn't breathe properly.

After a while, this elder finally calmed down again. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, "King of Chambord, I sure have underestimated you. You knew my identity from the beginning?"

"Mr. Senxi, you are the bishop of one of the five most powerful shrines in the Northern Regional Church, the Red-Sand Shrine. Since you suddenly showed up in my kingdom, how could I ignore you? I don't dare to do such a thing. I had to prepare well and treat you nicely!"

Fei's voice sounded clearly in everyone's ears.

Suddenly, everyone looked at this white-haired, elderly priest differently, and they couldn't hide away their shocked expressions.

Many people paid attention to the guests of the Holy Church. People like Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano were directly ignored, and this white-haired elder, who had a black stick in his hand and didn't have any warrior energy or magic energy fluctuations, was also deemed a weak person by the masters. The only people who caught their attention were the five holy knights who were sitting behind them. Their auras were much more powerful, and it was clear that they were mighty masters.

However, no one expected that this white-haired elder whom many people thought was weak and useless was the bishop of the Red-Sand Shrine!

His identity was far more superior compared with the emperors of level 1 and level 2 empires.

The Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were all pleasantly surprised. After seeing the burned-like short stick in Senxi's hands and recalling what happened yesterday in that secret room, they finally understood something and calmed down their hearts that were stirred up by the power Chambord showcased so far.

"Since you know my identity, I'm sure you also know why I'm here, right?"

After being identified, Senxi's temperament changed drastically. He no longer looked like an old and ordinary priest but a majestic and pressing overlord.

Chapter 673: Real Enemies (Part Two)

This aura of something that was formed after Senxi became the bishop of the Red-Sand Shrine for a long time; it wasn't pretentious at all compared with Brando who tried to act.

In the face of this powerful aura, the invincible image that Fei created with his power instantly melted like an ice block on a hot summer day as soon as Senxi got to the middle of the square.

Behind Bishop Senxi of the Red-Sand Shrine, the five holy knights who were at the Moon-Class Realm carefully surrounded him. One of them was burly and had a red face. He was that mysterious master who sneak-attacked Lampard during nature's challenge, and his name was Disov.

These five holy knights looked hostile, and their expressions were arrogant. Not only did they looked down at Fei and the Chambordians, but they also looked at the other masters in the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] with disdain. It was clear that they weren't satisfied with their performances so far.

"Mr. Senxi, your status is really supreme; how could I, the king of a little kingdom, know what your intention is? Why don't you say it out loud and let me hear it?" Fei said as he got down from the high platform. Then, he lightly waved his hand, and the warriors of Chambord moved to two sides, making a path for their king.

Fei slowly walked through that path and got in front of Bishop Senxi of the Red-Sand Shrine.

Everyone was focusing on these two gurus.

After hearing what Fei said, Bishop Senxi nodded with a strange smile on his face.

"Oh, so there are things that even King Alexander Your Majesty don't know about. Ok, let me be honest with you. I'm here for Queen Angela. According to the report of a priest from the Shiye Shrine named Balesi, Queen Angela has the purest soul in the world, and she has the potential of communicating with the gods! She is the perfect candidate for being the saintess of the Holy Church. Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church had ordered me to come here and meet up with Queen Angela. I'm going to take Her Highness back to the headquarters of the North Regional Church and let her be canonized by Bishop Platini so that she can become the supreme saintess of the Northern Regional Church," he said.

As soon as he said that, a series of gasps sounded on the square.

Everyone looked at that beautiful girl who was standing on the high platform, and her fancy long white dress fluttered in the wind. After looking at her again, people felt like Queen Angela had a uniquely pure and holy aura around her. She looked like a goddess.

Then, all the guests turned around and looked at Fei with pity.

Even though Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand worded it politely, the underlying meaning was cruel and clear. He was asking the King of Chambord to give up his beautiful queen and hand her over to the Holy Church. To the aggressive and invincible King of Chambord, this was no different to a hard slap on the face.

On his wedding night, he had to hand over one of his beloved queens! If this got out, the destruction of his fame would be irreparable.

Now, some people even started to sympathize with the King of Chambord.

What could he really do to the mammoth on the continent, Holy Church? Even the emperors of those powerful empires had to get along with the Holy Church carefully.

Even though the Chambord Kingdom had surprising strength, it was still far from having the ability to arm-whistle with the Holy Church.

Now, everyone was focused back on the King of Chambord.

Guests like Prince Simon of the Marse Empire and Prince Sark of the Maze Empire who feared Fei and also hated him were gloating at this moment. They couldn't wait for the King of Chambord to show the painful and defeated expression.

Chapter 674: Real Sun-Class Lords! (Part One)

Even though Bishop Senxi was rude and upfront, the King of Chambord didn't get angry like how everyone expected. In fact, his face didn't even pale. After hearing what Senxi said, he lightly stretched his back and looked at Senxi with a strange smile as well.

"Priest Balesi? Oh, I remember this name, and I do remember him saying such a thing in front of me. Unfortunately, I heard that he died not too long after. It is rumored that he died tragically, and his heart was even destroyed by an evil undead mage. Oh, on that note, did the Holy Church successfully capture this evil undead mage?" Fei asked.

Everyone was stunned by what the King of Chambord said, and they didn't know why he said that.

However, only Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's face changed color.

Light dashed out of his old yet sharp eyes, and he stared at Fei viciously as if he wanted to eat up this king. Out of everyone here, only he knew how Balesi died. He heard that Balesi was killed while he was on a mission, and the people who died in that mission were more than just Balesi. Therefore, he understood that sharp and cold murderous intent in Fei's words.

"Are you threatening me?" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's pupil lightly contracted. Since Fei was threatening him and overlooking his high status, Senxi got defensive and looked like a poisonous snake that was about to attack.

"Hmmm, Mr. Senxi, your reaction is just… I don't understand what you mean…"

Of course, Fei wouldn't admit to anything publicly. Therefore, he shrugged, opened his palms, and showed a strange smile.

"Humph! It is better that you don't."

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand shook his head and didn't want to waste too much time on the issue with Balesi. The Execution Department of the Holy Church was already on this issue, and he was confident that the real killer couldn't get away.

After a short pause, he said in all seriousness, "Alright, Alexander. I have already been generous to you. I didn't do anything before and allowed you and Angela to get on the high platform. You two are now already husband and wife in name; treat it as my gift for your wedding. This should be enough for you, and I don't want to give any more explanation. Prepare a magic carriage and let Saintess Angela get changed into the robe of the Holy Church before leaving here with me!"

"Hahahaha, damn! You sure are a nice person! Should I thank you for your generosity?" Still with that strange smile on his face, Fei zapped his mouth and mocked with cold glares, "However, I'm afraid that I couldn't agree with Mr. Senxi's request. In addition, even if Bishop Platini came here today, he couldn't take Angela away from Chambord City."

"What?" Senxi didn't react in time, and he was slightly stunned.

In the next moment, he understood what Fei meant, and his calm expression changed. Just like other people on the square, he couldn't hide his shock on his face. He rubbed his ears subconsciously and thought he heard it wrong. After a few seconds, he asked, "What did you say? King of Chambord, if I'm getting this correctly, you are refusing and not complying with Bishop Platini's order? Do you even know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know what I'm doing. However, Mr. Senxi, I'm afraid that you have no clue about what you are doing!" Fei's voice turned cold, and his stare was as sharp as a knife. It was clear that he was on the verge of venting out his anger.

Angela was the king's 'reverse scale,' and Senxi's virtuous appearance but shameless intent enraged the king even more.

Senxi was stunned again.

This was the first time that he has been stunned multiple times in a row since he became the bishop of the Red-Sand Shrine.

Then, this white-haired priest understood the current situation, and Fei's reaction instantly enraged him as well.

"Arrogance! You are only a little king of a tiny kingdom! You did pick up some momentum, but don't think that the little Chambord Kingdom can rival with the Holy Church! In my eyes, your little kingdom, as well as your strength, is nothing! You are ignorant! I can easily wipe out everything you have with my pinky finger!"

Senxi looked prestigious and kind with his white hair, but he appeared terrifying in anger since his face was all twisted.

Chapter 674: Real Sun-Class Lords! (Part Two)

"Huh? We only exchanged a few words, but you are already this mad? Hahahaha! Too bad! If someone else were in my position, your threats might have worked. However, you are nothing in my eyes! You are no more than an old lapdog of Platini!" The angrier Senxi was, the more ruthless Fei got.

The King of Chambord shook his head and laughed, "I'm sure people can see that you are only this pressing because Platini is behind you."

What Fei said was upfront, like ripping a bandage off a wound.

"You… Great! This is great! Under everyone's watch, you dare to reject the order of the Bishop of the Northern Regional Church! This is my first time seeing someone dare to do this, and it seems like another evil entity has appeared on the continent. I hope that when we get to the headquarters of the Execution Department of the Northern Regional Church, you can still be this tough in front of chilling interrogation instruments!" Senxi was so mad that he almost spat out blood.

He opened his mouth and deemed Fei evil right upfront with murderous spirit enveloping him.

"Evil? Hahahaha! I'm afraid that an old lapdog like you doesn't have that level of authority! Hahaha! Your level is too low, and you know nothing. You think you are smart, but you are used as a stick by others! The Red-Sand Shrine is one of the most prominent shrines in the northern region, but it is a pity that you are leading it now. Since you are a soft person without balls, the Red-Sand Shrine is now pretty much a subordinate to the Shiye Shrine. This is tragic! If you can live until later, you will know that even Platini won't have the ability to say what you said in front of me!"

"You… You…" Senxi was so mad that his face turned from red to white.

However, the king didn't give him the opportunity to say more.

"Alright, more argument is meaningless. Mr. Senxi, you created the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] and even tried to use people like Mellberg to be the suicide squad. All of this is for weakening Chambord and forcing me to use my trump cards. Now, you achieved your goal, and the climax is about to arrive, right? Why don't you ask the masters you invited to show themselves? Let's use the most basic yet effective way to put an end to all this!"

After saying that, Fei took a step forward with a stern expression on his face, and it looked like he wasn't going to say anything more.

With an angry expression, it seemed like Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand also didn't want to say anything.

In the next moment, Senxi suddenly punched at the sky without unleashing any power, but a silver light beam which had a diameter of half a meter shot into the sky from his fist.

Boom! Crack!

It collided with the blue magic energy sphere, and a series of crackling noises sounded as if a glass jar was smashed…

People looked up and were all stunned!

The forbidden-spell-level defensive magic array, [Water Screen Sky Glare], instantly shattered! After getting punched, many cracks appeared like the shell of a broken egg, and it slowly disappeared.

This level of power…

This was…

Sun-Class!

A real Sun-Class Lord!

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand instantly showcased his god-like strength, and it was far beyond the level of peak Moon-Class. He could easily alter the laws of nature. Under the power of laws of nature, the forbidden-spell-level defensive magic array would break like a piece of paper in front of a sharp knife, and it couldn't maintain its form anymore.

A real Sun-Class Lord was of supreme status! Senxi could easily turn around the current losing situation of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]!

Chapter 675: Real Strength of the King of Chambord (Part One)

No wonder Senxi was the Bishop of the Red-Sand Shrine, one of the five most prominent shrines in the Northern Regional Church. The strength that he demonstrated matched his status and fame. His god-like aura made people feel desperate and weak. All the guests on the square felt like they couldn't fight against him.

However, to their surprise, this wasn't Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's trump card.

As soon as the forbidden-spell-level defensive array formation, [Water Screen Sky Glare], was shattered, two more figures appeared in the sky in silence. They were both wearing black church robes, and they just stood there without any energy fluctuations around them.

However, that was more than enough for all other people to feel suffocated. They felt like their eyes met two terrifying black-hole, and their souls were being sucked into it along with the space around them.

This…. Two more Sun-Class Lords?

Although these two people didn't show their strength and open their mouths, all the masters on the square could clearly tell that they were Sun-Class Lords who could rival against Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand. These two people in black church robes gave them a mystic sensation.

"King of Chambord, you are probably surprised. Mr. Platini already foresaw this; he knew that you might refuse to listen to his order. Therefore, he already sent the Left Deacon and Right Deacon of the Shiye Shrine here with me. Mr. Dior and Mr. Lemorz are going to take the Saintess back tonight! I was trying to be kind and give you an opportunity, but I didn't expect you, King of Chambord, to be such an evil person who dares to go against the will of the gods. It looks like the entire Chambord Kingdom couldn't be any better. Since you set your mind on resisting, then I along with these two elders will wipe out Chambord and cleanse the evil for the gods!"

As Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand said that, his body slowly raised into the sky and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the other two Sun-Class Lords. His voice sounded like a loud bell, and the sound waves made the people's heads dizzy.

Huge change!

This was a huge change that people didn't expect!

Who could have guessed that the wedding of a little king could attract three Sun-Class Lords whom most people only heard of in legends?

Since they showed themselves in this little remote city, it was clear that the King of Chambord, as well as the Chambord Kingdom, were both done for. No one believed that the Chambord Kingdom had Sun-Class Lords to rival with these powerful enemies.

"Hahahaha! King of Chambord! You are dead! Dead I tell you!" Prince Simon of the Marse Empire relaxed and laughed out loud; his heart that was in his throat finally dropped down.

"That is right! Let's see how you can turn this situation around! Hahaha! The Chambord Kingdom will be wiped out tonight!" Prince Sark of the Maze Empire also laughed recklessly. They finally didn't need to worry about suffering the revenge of the King of Chambord for what they did tonight!

The current situation was a dead end for Chambord! The appearance of the three Sun-Class Lords had already determined the outcome.

"That is right! Guys, don't worry! Let's all move and kill every Chambordian! Otherwise, we will face retaliation in the future!" A Moon-Class Elite who had his face veiled up in black cloth reminded the masters around him.

In order not to be recognized by others, most of the Moon-Class Elite of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] covered their faces to hide their identities. However, the unique aura of each master couldn't be hidden from each other.

Chapter 675: Real Strength of the King of Chambord (Part Two)

The power the Chambord Kingdom showcased tonight shocked all of them, and it made them want to wipe out Chambord once for all. Since they already joined the [Dragon Hunt Alliance], they were going to kill every Chambordian, and it didn't matter if they were infants or elderlies; they had to wipe out all potential threats.

With three Sun-Class Lords who could easily tie down the King of Chambord and Queen Elena, the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] would have a clear numbers advantage! There were way more Moon-Class Elites on the side of the alliance, and they could easily kill all the citizens of Chambord.

"King of Chambord, stop resisting! If you surrender right now, I can promise you that the innocent Chambordians won't be killed! The Chambord Kingdom would get to continue with its regular life!" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand stated with power as he looked down on Fei. Right now, the former looked majestic and noble.

The other two elders from the Shiye Shrine didn't say anything. They just released their auras and enveloped the entire Chambord Kingdom, suppressing all the masters on Fei's side.

The collapse of Chambord was pretty much set on stone.

In front of absolute power, this was going to be a bloody massacre!

However, King Alexander of Chambord who should be devastated at this crushing moment didn't look scared. Instead, he smiled light-heartedly.

The smile was so bright and heartfelt that all guests thought he lost his mind under pressure.

"What are you smiling about? Die!" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was very annoyed by Fei's smile; he sensed an ominous feeling from it.

Angered, he struck down with his palm, and a silver light beam crashed down at Fei as if it was a thick bolt of lightning. The power it contained was beyond destructive.

Boom!

"It is hard to tell who would live and who would die!" Fei lightly raised his arm and punched at the sky.

A beam of golden light dashed out of his fist, and it instantly collided with that silver light beam.

Boom!

The loud and terrifying sound wave expanded outward and shocked heaven and earth.

What was strange was that the King of Chambord didn't get burned into ashes by Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand. On the contrary, the golden light beam instantly destroyed that silver light beam. After that, the residual golden energy shot upward without stopping.

Senxi was stunned.

The golden light beam that was coming at him brought along a cold, death-like sensation.

At that critical moment, he could only dodge. It was a messy and abrupt teleportation.

Whoosh!

The golden light beam barely missed as Senxi's body merged into the space around him. Under the nightly sky, that terrifying power turned a part of Bishop Senxi's black sleeve into ashes.

"You…" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was terrified and angry as his back was now covered in sweat. He shouted as he couldn't believe what was going on, "You advanced into Sun-Class? How old are you? How did you do it? How is this possible? This is impossible! You… How?"

Only Sun-Class Lords could battle against Sun-Class Lords! It was a given fact!

The King of Chambord lightly punched out, but it instantly destroyed Bishop Senxi's strike and even harmed latter a little. This was enough to prove that he was at least a Sun-Class Lord and not a peak Full Moon Elite that people had estimated.

"What? Are you surprised?" Fei slowly flew into the sky as well.

Right now, all the Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were stunned; they looked at Fei who was in the sky and regretted their decisions. If they could decide all over again, they would rather go to one of the ten forbidden locations on the Azeroth Continent instead of coming to Chambord City to participate in this operation that they once thought was a piece of cake.

The King of Chambord completely overturned the world's understanding of geniuses and power.

"How can a young man who is about 20 years old become a Sun-Class Lord?" people thought, "Could he be the reincarnation of a god?"

"However, the good thing is that we have three Sun-Class Lords on our side, and the situation isn't that bad yet. As long as these three Sun-Class Lords of the Holy Church can kill the King of Chambord together, tonight's winner is still going to be the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]!"

Chapter 676: Shock (Part One)

"I didn't expect this at all! I sure didn't expect this. You are an insane genius! This is insane! How could an unparalleled genius like you be born into the Zenit Empire? Even the famous Emperor Yassin of Zenit couldn't be compared to you! This is too bad! If you can work for the Holy Church, it would be great! The gods made a mistake and turned you into an evil person with absurd thoughts! It sure is a pity that you have such a talent for cultivation but stand against justice and virtue!" After the huge shock, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand shook his head and sighed.

The other two elders of the Shiye Shrine who were silent also opened their eyes in shock, and it seemed like they couldn't understand how this was possible. They were no longer as relaxed, and they lightly unleashed their power and raised their guards. After all, a Sun-Class Lord was enough to threaten them.

"Really? There are more things that you can't imagine!" Fei sneered.

At this moment, he no longer tried to hide his strength. He released the power of Hell Mode level 5 Barbarian, and clouds of golden energy flowed out of his body and slowly moved around as if it was made from glue. As this energy slowly expanded outward, the absolute physical strength turned the air in the area dense, like a swamp.

This aura was unique to Sun-Class Lords!

Now, no one doubted the real strength of Fei. It was evident.

"Hahahahaha! Although you are a Sun-Class Lord, it is impossible for you to fight with three Sun-Class Lords at once. Hehehe, unless you could turn yourself into three or summon two more Sun-Class Lords, you are losing tonight's battle for sure!" After the momentary shock, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand quickly recovered.

"That is right! We have three Sun-Class Lords on our side, and we still have the absolute advantage! Even if the King of Chambord is now a Sun-Class Lord, which is shocking, he is still outnumbered! He is losing for sure!" he thought to himself.

It seemed like the situation is under complete control of the Holy Church.

"Huh? One versus three? Who said that? Hahaha, since you asked for it so sincerely, I will be kind and satisfy your request. I will summon two more Sun-Class Lords, ok? Just as you wish!" As soon as Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand finished speaking, Fei smiled again. That smile full of mockery made Senxi feel very uncomfortable.

Bam! The king snapped his finger, and a dash of golden flames shot into the sky like a firework and painted the image of a golden arrow in the air. It was very flashy in the dark sky, and everyone's attention was caught by it.

"Hahahaha! One cloud-piercing arrow! Reinforcements are on the way!" the king laughed and thought, "I finally got the opportunity to say this phrase!" [TL Note: This phrase was in a popular Chinese movie called Kung Fu Hustle.]

In the next moment, two dashes of flames, one black one white, shot out from the direction of the Five Sword Sky Mountain. They appeared on the square in a flash, and their speed was unbelievable!

After the two flames disappeared, two figures appeared by Fei's side.

One of them was a mid-aged man who looked like he was in his thirties. He had big eyes and thick brows, and he was wearing a black robe with a black wine gourd on his black belt. He sure loved black since everything on him was that color. He wasn't too muscular, and he had a bright smile on his face, making people wanting to like him instinctually.

The other man was wearing a white robe, and his long blond hair was fluttering in the wind. His facial features were sharp, and he was quite handsome. He looked like he was about 40 to 50 years old, but the wisdom hidden in his eyes was far more profound and didn't fit his apparent age. Different from the other man, it seemed like this man loved white. Even his golden belt was made from white gold.

Chapter 676: Shock (Part Two)

One black and one white, one left and one right; these two people stood beside Fei as if they were his guards.

Suddenly, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand and the two elders of the Shiye Shrine were stunned, and they looked angry and shocked. With their abilities, they could tell that these two people who suddenly appeared from the back mountains of Chambord were also Sun-Class Lords.

In addition, this mid-aged man in white and golden wasn't a stranger to people like Senxi.

In fact, he was one of their acquaintances.

"Oh, I didn't expect this. Javier, you actually appeared here. Therefore, I guess the rumor is true! Is the King of Chambord really the [God's Favorite Child] of the Black-Cloth Shrine? Is he now the bishop of your shrine?" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand frowned, and he had an ominous feeling about everything since the situation was headed toward a direction that he didn't foresee.

This handsome mid-aged man was one of the most powerful elders at the Black-Cloth Shrine, Javier Batistuta.

"Hahahaha! Senxi, I didn't expect that we would meet here again. You are right! King Alexander His Majesty is now the bishop of our Black-Cloth Shrine. How dare you slander him? Bishop Alexander is a [God's Favorite Child] and is blessed by the gods. How can you say that he is evil? Hehe, are you breaching the [Code of God]? Or are you trying to tilt the scale of justice?" Batistuta shouted and didn't hesitate to accuse Senxi of wrongdoings. His aura was as sharp as a blade, and others had a hard time staring at him.

"Since I didn't know about that, what I said doesn't count. Hehe, I will take back what I said," Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand giggled and neutralized Batistuta's accusations.

After a short pause, he asked, "However, taking Saintess Angela back to the headquarters of the Northern Regional Church is the order from Bishop Platini. As a member of the Northern Regional Church, Black-Cloth Shrine also must follow His Highness' command. Do you want to go against His Highness' command and help Chambord battle with the Holy Church? Are you betraying the Holy Church?"

Since these two knew each other well and didn't like each other, they threw punches at each other with words.

"Even if Bishop Platini gave that order, so what? Queen Angela had already become the saintess of our Black-Cloth Shrine. As the Bishop of the Northern Regional Church, he doesn't have the power of robbing other shrines' saintesses, right? That is the first rule in the [Code of God]!" Batistuta didn't buy Senxi's reasoning, and he countered with his own.

"What? You…" Senxi was shocked by what he heard.

Suddenly, he realized why the King of Chambord didn't look angry or surprised when he announced why he was here.

"So, he is already prepared, and he is waiting for me to…" Senxi thought.

If Angela was already the saintess of the Black-Cloth Shrine, then everything was just as what Batistuta had said. Even Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church didn't have the power to make Angela into the saintess of the Shiye Shrine. This was strictly forbidden in the rules of the Holy Church.

"Humph! The King of Chambord has to be approved by the Senate of the Northern Regional Church, as well as Pope Blatter who is on the Waulu Mountain. Before that is done, everything is undetermined. Therefore, Angela isn't the saintess of the Black-Cloth Shrine yet. Our Shiye Shrine still has an opportunity!" Seeing Senxi falling into desperation, one of the elders of the Shiye Shrine, Lemorz, suddenly spoke.

Chapter 677: Battles Between Sun-Class Lords (Part One)

What Lemorz said instantly brought hope to Senxi, and his eyes lit up.

"That is right! Hahahaha! Nothing is settled now! We still have an opportunity!" Senxi laughed out loud.

"You still have an opportunity, and so do we, the Black-Cloth Shrine. We can fight fairly for it! Under this situation, according to the [Code of Gods], it is up to Queen Angela to decide which shrine she wants to join. Even Platini can't force Her Highness to join the Shiye Shrine," Batistuta said.

However, he sighed secretly and thought, "Lemorz sure is old and cunning; he saw through the loophole of our plan instantly. But at least we have a proper reason to resist Platini's order, and it isn't the worst-case scenario yet."

"Humph! She is only a young girl; what does she know? She can't decide on anything! We aren't going to play this game! This important decision has to be made by elders like us, and that is the best for her future," the other elder of the Shiye Shrine, Dior, said coldly.

The unreasonableness of these people made Fei infuriated, and he frowned as his murderous spirit boiled.

"Too much talking! After all, we must solve this issue with fists! Queen Angela will go with the group that has the strongest fist! Let's do it!" the mid-aged man in black who was beside Fei stated abruptly.

Fei smiled and thought, "It seems like Undead Mage Hazel Bank sure knows me the best!"

This man in black was Undead Mage Hazel Bank.

After this period of recovery, his strength had skyrocketed. Even though he wasn't back at his peak state, he could easily cover up his undead aura. In addition, after comprehending the basic godly runes, the mad scientists, Cain and Akara, leveled up the God-Fooling Badges. As long as Hazel Bank didn't use his Sun Anomaly, no one would be able to identify him through his energy attribute.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand frowned.

After observing Hazel Bank carefully, he asked politely, "You are…"

"I'm not famous, and I'm just a subordinate of King Alexander His Majesty," the Undead Mage said calmly.

This answer shocked the three people on the side of Northern Regional Church.

They thought that this Sun-Class Lord in black was a master who was invited here by the King of Chambord. After all, every Sun-Class Lord was proud and dignified. It was very rare for them to admit that they were someone else's subordinate.

However, this man in black admitted it right away.

"This is shocking! How powerful is the Chambord Kingdom?" they thought.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand wasn't too sure of everything now. He prepared a lot for tonight, and he felt like he didn't underestimate his opponent.

After all, even when a lion was hunting a rabbit, it would use its full strength.

However, he wasn't able to be in control of the situation in the end; his confidence was shaking.

"Since you are a nobody, get away from here! How dare you get involved in the internal affairs of the Holy Church? Do you want to die?" Elder Lemorz of Shiye threatened with a chilly tone.

"Hehehe, old dog, don't use that outdated threat of yours! Try me, and let me see how powerful you really are!"

How proud was the Undead Mage? When he was younger, he would kill tens of thousands of people if they offended him. In the past, numerous masters of the Holy Church died in his hand. Except for Fei, he wouldn't show his friendly side to anyone else.

A dash of black mist shot out of the Undead Mage's sleeves and turned into tens of thousands of sharp swords, targeting Elder Lemorz of Shiye.

Chapter 677: Battles Between Sun-Class Lords (Part Two)

Under the control of Hazel Bank and the effect of the upgraded God-Fooling Badge, even though this energy was chilly and gloomy, it was very different from undead energy and death energy. Therefore, even though these three masters of the Holy Church practiced holy power for many years, they couldn't identify the attribute of this black mist.

Lemorz didn't dare to be overconfident. Since his opponent was also a Sun-Class Lord, any misstep would place him in a dangerous situation.

As he reached out his hand and straightened his dried, tree-branches-like fingers, he pushed outward. A thick silver wall made from holy power instantly appeared in front of him, and it blocked the tens of thousands of black swords five meters away from him.

Since the two of them had insane control over their energies, not a single bit of residual energy spilled into the area, so the guests on the square weren't affected at all.

As their bodies flashed, black energy flames and white energy flames appeared and entangled with each other.

The two of them used their full strength after a few test attacks, and their power gradually couldn't be controlled that well anymore; residual energy started to appear and spill into the area.

Then, they both shouted and dashed into the high sky, disappearing from people's sights.

All that people could see were the bright energy flames that were spilling into the area.

The Sun-Class Lords were way too powerful; even the residual power was enough to destroy mountains, evaporate lakes, tear land, and crush cities.

Since they could do a lot of damage to the continent, most Sun-Class Lords would decide to battle it out in the high sky.

"Hahaha! Since they already started the battle, we shouldn't just hang around and watch. Let's fight as well!" Batistuta laughed and targeted the other Shiye elder, Dior.

Since this was already pre-arranged, he waved his hand, and the silver holy light that came out of his hand turned into a huge judgment sword.

As he struck it down at Dior, it felt like the sky was even torn apart. He didn't hold back at all.

"Great! I always wanted to fight you! Today, I will let you know that the fall of the Black-Cloth Shrine is unavoidable! Doesn't matter what kind of fight you guys put up, it will be useless!" Dior laughed chillingly.

Without holding back, he also unleashed his mighty holy power, and it seemed like he could easily destroy the world if he wanted to. His holy power condensed into a huge circular silver shield that was about 100 meters in diameter with a lot of runes on it, blocking that judgment sword easily.

After a few strikes, the two of them also dashed into the high sky to continue their battle.

The death battles between Sun-Class Lords happened, and it couldn't be avoided.

Right now, all the people on the ground felt like their mouths were dry, and their hearts were racing. They couldn't say a word and talk to each other.

They felt like six burning suns suddenly appeared in the sky, and even the slight auras that these Sun-Class Lords emitted suffocated them.

As they shivered, they didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

Chapter 678: A Complete Turn (Part One)

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand looked at Fei again, and the expression on his face was complicated.

This Sun-Class Lord who was one of the most influential people at the Northern Regional Church had various emotions on his mind.

He planned this operation diligently and thought that the Chambord Kingdom would be crushed by more than 20 Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]. Even though he came with these two elders of the Shiye Shrine, he didn't think that they needed to come out and pressure Chambord.

However, the situation got out of hand quickly! Now with him and those two elders, they couldn't even guarantee success!

Right now, everything was fifty-fifty!

"I sure have underestimated you!" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand looked at Fei with a serious expression on his face. As strands of silver holy power started to spread outward, he continued, "However, even if you are a Sun-Class Lord and are capable of great strength, Chambord couldn't escape from its doom! As long as I occupy your time and energy, the battles below Sun-Class is still heavily favored toward us! If I give the command, the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] will be able to destroy your kingdom within 15 minutes."

He was trying to attack Fei's mind with words.

Since he could sense that Fei was strong, he wasn't in a hurry to attack. He knew that Fei cared a lot about his kingdom, so he wanted to use it to pressure the king.

As long as he was could provoke Fei successfully and make the king a little distracted during battle, he would have a tremendous upper hand! This minor change could drastically alter the outcome of the fight! After all, all Sun-Class Elites were insanely powerful, and they could capitalize on the mistake of their opponents very well.

"Hahaha!" Fei laughed. He had been through way more battles compared to Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand who had high status and rarely challenged himself. Therefore, it was easy for him to read through Senxi's mind.

As he laughed in disdain, he added, "What a joke! The [Dragon Hunt Alliance] is a joke! All of you are just cowards! Tonight, I will let you know how powerful Chambord is!"

After Fei said that, he stopped laughing and shouted, "Guys, show yourselves!"

Before he could finish, many blue portals appeared on the square as buzzing noises sounded.

As lights flashed by, many flower-like teleportation arrays opened, and powerful figures walked out of them and stood beside the warriors of Chambord.

One, two, three, four…

These people were all Moon-Class Elites!

The first two people who arrived were Priest Jessie as well as Holy Knight Alan. Then, three more people appeared by them. They were elderly priests who were from the Black-Cloth Shrine, and they were the last bit of power the shrine had.

On the other side, five elderly warriors walked out of a portal. Behind them, there were three mid-aged warriors. The elderly warriors were the ones who were saved by Fei during his trip to the Mythical Palace. Since they were very thankful toward Fei, they came with the masters in their families to congratulate the king on his wedding.

Even though they were facing powerful enemies, they still decided to stand with Chambord.

Of course, the three mid-aged warriors were their descendants who were now also at Moon-Class.

The Military Leader of [Rogue Encampment] also walked out of a portal in silence. Kashya was wearing her usual brown cape, and she had an intense murderous spirit. She was one of the most trustworthy masters from Diablo World, and she was powerful. When Chambord needed her the most, she temporarily dropped her duties at the [Letter Office] and returned.

In the guest areas, Prince Girano of St. Germain and Prince Gurkov of Bordeaux both stood up and walked to the side of Chambord with masters from their empires.

Chapter 678: A Complete Turn (Part Two)

Also, the masters from the other affiliated kingdom of Zenit such as Reyes, Cindy, Kanort, and Huerk appeared on the square. Even though they weren't Moon-Class Elites, they were still advanced Star-level Masters. They could fend off the weaker members of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] and protect the powerless citizens of Chambord.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, loud explosions sounded on the square.

After vicious battles, Cech, Pierce, and Robbin who were inside [Water God Battle Seals] finally defeated and killed their corresponding opponents, getting victories for Chambord.

As the blue light of the [Water God Battle Seals] disappeared, their figures were visible to others once again. Even though they were all severely injured, they still had high spirits. They didn't look tired, and their ferocity wasn't inferior to Drogba's.

With the heads of their opponents, they walked back and stood beside their comrades.

Standing on the high wedding platform that had nine levels and 36 steps, the set items of the [M'avina's Battle Hymn] appeared on Elena after lights flashed by.

[M'avina's Embrace - Kraken Shell] made her look firm and tough, and [M'avina's Caster - Grand Matron Bow] gave chills to the people around her. The power in her aura increased by a lot, and her strength was close to the Sun-Class Realm.

Her energy flames were so bright that it looked like she was the center of the formation of Chambord.

As the nightly wind blew by, her red hair fluttered in the air, and Elena who was now in armor looked like a Valkyrie.

Elena suddenly used the power of her second bloodline, Paladin.

As she waved her hand, dashes of golden energy flew into the injured warriors of Chambord such as Drogba and Cech, and their injuries quickly recovered at a visible speed! In addition, their stamina and vitality also went back to the peak!

In just a few seconds, the strength that Chambord showcased increased by many folds!

Now, there were also more than 20 Moon-Class Elites on the side of Chambord. Amongst them, Valkyrie Elena was almost at Sun-Class! She was practically invincible in front of Moon-Class Elites!

This wasn't even the end of it! The quiet and ordinary stone fortresses around the square suddenly transformed.

After golden runes appeared on them, terrifying [Dragon Slayer] crossbows were pushed to the openings, and the arrows that were loaded in them were pointed at the Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance].

These chilling, huge arrows were strengthened by the mad scientists in their laboratory. After receiving the upgrade, these magic crossbows and arrows were lethal enough to threaten Moon-Class Elites! If ordinary Moon-Class Elites were hit by these arrows, they couldn't bear the consequences!

The situation was turned around instantly!

Chambord which was at a numbers disadvantage was now in complete control.

"You… This…" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand couldn't believe what he was seeing!

"How can Chambord have so many Moon-Class Elites on its side? Damn it! How dare empires like St. Germain and Bordeaux stand with Chambord and fight against the Holy Church? Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the Shiye Shrine?" he thought anxiously, "Now with Chambord at an advantage, the King of Chambord will be able to battle with me without having to worry about anything!"

"What? You are surprised? I told you that there are many things that you couldn't even imagine! Open your eyes and enjoy the show!" Fei stared at Senxi intensely as he continued to mock.

Angela who was standing on the high wedding platform in her long white dress suddenly smiled at Fei. Then, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and murmured; it looked like she was praying very sincerely and summoning something.

Suddenly, waves of unique and invisible energies spread out into the area with Angela in the center, and only Fei could sense it.

In the next moment, something unimaginable happened!

Series of loud and terrifying roars sounded from the back mountains of Chambord, and people felt like the ground was shaking and the sky was moving. The shocking sound waves rushed to the square, and it sounded like rare, vicious beasts were about to appear!

Chapter 679: The Demon Beast Legion of Chambord! (Part One)

The pupils of Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand contracted instantly.

He saw more than 20 huge and dark shadows suddenly appearing in the sky, and they were flying toward Chambord City.

"They are… a bunch of supreme king-level demon beasts that are equivalent to Moon-Class Elites in terms of combat abilities?" Senxi was stunned as he finally recognized what those dark, mountain-like shadows were.

Flying in the front, the black beast that was more than 100 meters long looked shiny, and it seemed like lights were flashing on its fur continuously. Its head looked like a dog's, but it had a massive pair of black wings, a giant body, and two sharp and vicious-looking horns on its forehead.

As it spat out orange flames from time to time, it was hard to associate this terrifying creature with a dog.

Behind this mysterious and strange black beast, there were three huge dragon-like beasts.

As they flew toward Chambord City, they roared in excitement and seemed like hooligans who wanted to engage in fights.

One of them was red like fire, one of them was blue like ice, and the last one looked like it was cast from bronze.

As they emitted terrifying auras that were unique to dragons, they followed that strange black beast tightly as if they were its guards.

Behind these three dragon-like demon beasts, there were 15 to 16 demon beasts of all kinds. There was an ape that had six arms, a python that had three heads, an eagle that had a wingspan of more than 100 meters, and an eye-like demon beast that looked like a meatball…

These demon beasts were all more than 100 meters tall or long, and they looked like flying mountains.

Their intense auras, as well as their abilities to fly, told everyone that they were supreme king-level demon beasts, and they were as powerful as Moon-Class Elites.

Demon beasts on this level were already as smart and intelligent as humans, and they had powerful innate abilities and sharper battle instincts. In addition, their bodies were much more robust than human bodies, so their combat abilities were far more powerful than ordinary Moon-Class Elites.

What shocked Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand the most was that these demon beasts flew toward Chambord in a formation! These powerful demon beasts should be hostile toward each other since they had strong senses of territory, but they followed that strange black beast and the three dragon-like demon beasts as if they were soldiers in a troop.

These demon beasts soon covered up more than half of the sky with their massive bodies, and their terrifying auras made the weaker people have a hard time breathing.

It was clear to everyone that these demon beasts resided in the back mountains of Chambord, and people couldn't help but wonder, "Why… are these demon beasts here? Are they here to rob Chambord when it is chaotic?"

Just as everyone was confused, Queen Angela of Chambord, who looked weak and powerless, called with her beautiful voice as she stood on the high wedding platform.

What happened next stunned everyone!

The strange black beast that was flying at the very front suddenly roared angrily, and all the demon beasts following it shouted in unison and paused in mid-air. Then, that black beast dashed down at the square quickly as if it were a bolt of lightning

As a series of gasps sounded, that huge black beast suddenly slowed down and landed quietly beside the high platform. Suddenly, it turned gentle and tamed like a cute kitten, and it sat down on the square on its all-fours.

Now, people saw that there was a mystic silver throne situated on this black beast's back.

Chapter 679: The Demon Beast Legion of Chambord! (Part Two)

On one armrest of the throne, there was a chubby Treasure-Seeking Beast. Its eyes were black and big, its fur was brownish-red, and its fat tail was black and white striped.

Anyone who looked at it in its eyes felt like it was really smart, and this animal was jumping and chirping on the throne. It was clear that it knew Queen Angela well, and it seemed like it was welcoming her to sit on the throne.

Angela lightly pulled up her long white dress to make sure that the bottom of the dress was making the least amount of contact with the floor, and she stepped onto the back of this gigantic black beast, walked to the mystic throne, and sat on it slowly.

As soon as her hands touched the armrests, a layer of pure and saint energy appeared and formed a circular sphere around her, completely enveloping and protecting this gorgeous and pure girl along with the throne.

Roar!

In the next moment, this gigantic black beast opened its mouth and shouted, and the sound wave expanded outward and blew dust and small rocks into the air as if there were a tornado.

Then, as it fluttered its wings, this black beast dashed into the sky with Queen Angela on its back.

After it got back to its peers, the other supreme king-level demon beasts roared in excitement and flew around Angela rapidly as if they met their lord.

This scene took everyone by surprise! It was like a miracle! People felt like they couldn't even process this information.

It was clear that Queen Angela was able to command supreme king-level demon beasts! It was unimaginable!

Anyone who had basic knowledge about demon beasts knew that they were difficult to be tamed by humans on the Azeroth Continent. Unless they were raised by humans when they were born, or they were captured and brainwashed by secret techniques, it was almost impossible to get them.

Obtaining one demon beast was hard, let alone taming more than a dozen supreme king-level demon beasts!

What was happening right now flipped the concrete knowledge about demon beasts in many people's minds.

"Blacky! Guys! Let's protect Chambord together!"

Sitting on the mystic throne located on Blacky's back, Angela looked like a goddess who wasn't from this world. Her white dress emphasized her bright aura and her otherworldly beauty. When she was around the demon beasts, she smiled and spoke in a soft tone that made it sound like she was speaking to old friends.

It was clear that the demon beasts could understand the words of Angela. As they roared in the sky, violent and disruptive energies appeared and dispersed into the air.

As Blacky flew in the air, four to five most powerful demon beasts surrounded it and tried to protect Angela in the center.

Then, the three dragons, Thug, Chick, and Hooligan, dashed down with the rest of the supreme king-level demon beasts. They were targeting the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] who were all stunned on the square, and they spat out fire, ice, poison, and lightning energies as they attacked these enemies of Chambord!

The scene looked like a formation of huge bomber aircraft was bombing the ground mercilessly.

"Ah…" A low-tier New Moon Elite who had his face veiled up wasn't able to dodge in time, and he was turned into a puddle of blood by the fire energies a few demon beasts spat.

"Damn it! Why are these b*stards listening to the Queen of Chambord?"

"Ah! What is happening? My arm…"

"Damn it! Let's attack and kill these demon beasts first!"

"Damn it! Why are these two queens this powerful? One of them is close to Sun-Class, and the other could command demon beasts! This is too much! From now on, Chambord is going to be the most powerful force within 500,000 kilometers of Zenit!"

Chapter 680: Flipping It (Part One)

"Counterattack! Fight back! If you want to live, fighting back is the only option!"

On the square, the Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were shocked and scared.

They screamed at each other and were in a complete mess.

However, the demon beasts in the air were spitting powerful energies at them, and they had to defend themselves somehow.

When some of them weren't careful, several demon beasts charged down at the same time and pulled them into the air. After a few seconds of tearing and biting, they were turned into pieces, and their flesh, organs, and bones fell from the sky. The scene was really horrific.

Sitting on [The Throne of Chaos], Angela looked down and saw everything, and she looked a little troubled. However, she didn't say anything to stop it in the end.

What happened tonight angered Angela who was usually peaceful and calm; it was really rare for her to get angry. Therefore, she commanded the demon beasts and killed the cruel enemies mercilessly.

"Hahahaha! Let's go! None of these b*stards can get away alive!" Drogba laughed as he swung the huge shield, [Holy Collision], and dashed toward the stunned masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] like an orange tornado.

"Die! Anyone who dares to attack Chambord shall pay with their lives!" Lampard leaped into the air and turned into a thick bolt of lightning. Even though he moved later than Drogba, he got to the enemies first.

As lightning flashed, Prince Simon of Marse and Prince Sark of Maze, who were the weakest but also the most arrogant, were turned into two pieces of charcoal-like statues after the lightning energy went through them. Even streaks of black smoke were coming off them.

"Kill! These b*stards! We treated them with hospitality and respect, but they are just vicious wolves that are greedy and cruel! Let them experience the anger of the Chambordians!"

People like Pierce, Cech, Oleg, Robbin, and Kashya all roared and instantly unleashed their power. There was no need to hide their strength now, so they all summoned the high-level combat weapons that Fei gave them.

Their combat abilities skyrocketed, and they dashed into the enemies of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] without mercy like tigers in herds of sheep.

Following them, the masters of the Black-Cloth Shrine and the Moon-Class Elites of the elderly warriors' families all charged forward as well.

With the advantage, the people who were on the side of Chambord felt confident, and their morale was high. Therefore, they were able to crush their enemies easily.

At the same time, Torres and Akinfeev who were both very handsome already unleashed their warrior energies.

As warrior energy flames enveloped them, they loaded their bows and shot out lethal magic arrows. Like the dark storm clouds, arrows that looked like raindrops were shot from them.

Both these handsome blond young men were archery masters. Even if they shot out arrows with their eyes closed, they could still hit their targets accurately. Therefore, the blood of the enemies was spilled, and no one was showing mercy!

A bloody and chaotic battle finally took place.

The strength of one party was growing while the power of the other party continued to decline.

Right now, the power of Chambord was far beyond the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]. With the reinforcement of the demon beasts in the sky, there were more than double the Moon-Class Elites on the side of Chambord compared with the invaders.

Chapter 680: Flipping It (Part Two)

The huge change terrified the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance], and the death of their peers dropped their morale. They weren't able to give their all during battles, and some of them even turned around and tried to flee!

In the sky, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand couldn't believe his eyes, and his face twitched non-stop.

At this moment, he still wasn't willing to accept what he was seeing!

"What do you think, Mr. Senxi? Do you still think that my Chambord is a weak bug that could be stomped by you at will?" Fei wasn't trying to act nobly at all, and he wasn't going to let Senxi go that easy.

He was going to beat Senxi up viciously with words first and really shame this arrogant Bishop of the Red-Sand Shrine.

These supreme king-level demon beasts were all 'native residents' in the back mountains of Chambord. They each occupied territory at the vast and limitless mountains and forests behind Chambord, and they were the king of their land. They didn't attack each other and just safeguarded their territories, and that had been going on for numerous years.

However, after Blacky advanced in realms, it led the three young dragons and wandered around the edges of the back mountains. They started to like fighting, and they went to challenge the supreme king-level demon beasts that had owned large territories. In the beginning, they won most of the fights and lost only a few, and they gradually were able to achieve a win rate of 100%. Almost all the supreme king-level demon beasts within 500 kilometers of Chambord were defeated and terrified by these four outsiders.

After more than half a month, these supreme king-level demon beasts were beaten again and again, and they had to surrender to Blacky and the three dragons, accepting them as the real rulers of the wilderness within 500 kilometers of Chambord.

All of this was unknown to Fei before.

Fei ran into them when these four beasts were flying in the forests and back mountains with their subordinates a few days ago, and he learned about all this.

At that time, the king was at a loss for words and didn't know if he should laugh or cry.

However, since he saw that the supreme king-level demon beasts were all trained by Blacky and the three dragons and were organized like a military troop, he suddenly had the idea of constructing a legion of supreme king-level demon beasts.

There were many supreme king-level demon beats at the back mountains of Chambord, and there were a lot of secrets. If Chambord could really form a demon beast legion, the kingdom would be almost invincible in the region!

However, Blacky and the three dragons weren't strong enough, and getting more than 20 supreme king-level demon beasts under them was their limit.

Afterward, Fei suddenly thought about Angela's innate ability to communicate with beasts and animals, and he realized the power of it. Therefore, he sneaked Angela out of Chambord behind his future father-in-law's back and tried to see if her innate ability would work.

The result of the test surprised Fei.

He didn't expect these vicious and powerful demon beasts to act like cute kittens in front of Angela, and they behaved really tamed. What was interesting was that the higher the level of demon beasts, the more intelligent they were, and more obedient and tamed they were in front of Angela. It felt like they were the loyal subjects of Angela, their lord.

With the secret help of Angela, this demon beast legion of Chambord was quickly formed.

In just a few days, the legion got well trained, and the supreme king-level demon beasts all listened to Angela, Blacky, and the three dragons.

This was the first show of the demon beast legion, and it was shocking!

Everyone was at a loss for words!

Chapter 681: Assassination (Part One)

Fei liked to show off in front of his enemies.

Since the power of the demon beast legion was so strong, and their appearances were so shocking, how could the king not be smug?

Therefore, he didn't hesitate to mock Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand mercilessly.

"This is unexpected… No one would have expected this. The little Chambord Kingdom pressed me to this degree! Your strength is enough for Chambord to be a dominant force in the region, and you should be proud."

At this moment, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand had to admit that even though he overestimated the Chambord Kingdom by multiple folds, it was still not enough. His plan was destroyed, and he was losing in this situation.

The strength Chambord showcased was enough to make them into a level 5 or a level 6 empire; they couldn't be called an affiliated kingdom anymore.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand couldn't believe what he was seeing, and he was stunned to the max.

Right now, no words could describe what was going on in Senxi's mind.

He looked down on the ground and saw the masters on the side of Chambord coordinating with supreme king-level demon beasts. Chambord was in a great advantage, and they were crushing the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]. In just a few minutes, the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] were severely injured or killed; they couldn't put up a defense.

What surprised him even more was that the many citizens of Chambord who were standing outside the square somehow disappeared when Chambord was flipping the situation around. In the big Chambord City, except for the people on the square, not a single person could be seen.

"Where did all of those ordinary people go?" he thought, "This is clearly a set-up! The Chambordians planned this in advance!"

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand suddenly turned ugly as soon as he thought about that; his face even paled.

He suddenly realized that the plan that he came up with carefully had been see through by this young king already. Even though he thought that there were many hidden trump cards, and they were in stealth, it seemed like this young king already predicted them…

No! The better way to put it was that the King of Chambord already knew what was going to happen before the [Dragon Hunt Operation] took place!

This thought flashed in Senxi's mind, and it made his heart race as his body shivered.

The reason that he was liked and valued by Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church was that he was great at strategic planning on top of having immerse strength. He was really considerate, and he always kept the entire picture in mind, making him an excellent advisor and strategist.

However, he failed this time! Not only in strength, but he also got crushed in terms of his plans and strategies.

"How did the King of Chambord know all of this? Could it be that there are traitors on the inside of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance]?" he thought.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was dumbfounded, and he quickly thought through the people who were in the alliance, wanting to identify the person or group who betrayed him.

At this moment, he looked down at the square unintentionally, and his pupils instantly contracted when he saw the battles that were going on.

He wasn't sure when, but the No.2 Mercenary Group in the region, [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], disappeared.

The mercenary group that was only below the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] in the region was hired by him from the Leon Empire, and the masters of that mercenary group were saying that they were going to kill all the Chambordians before the wedding.

However, the members and the group leader who had a gold mask were nowhere to be seen; they didn't put up a fight and somehow escaped.

Chapter 682: Sun Anomaly - [Gods' Forbidden Land] (Part One)

An assassin!

There was a powerful assassin hiding in the area!

"Hahaha! King of Chambord, even though you are calculative and cunning, you still fell into the trap! I have been preparing for this for a long time! Hahaha! The assassins of the [Dark Shadow Shrine] sure are powerful and can hide anywhere. Their ultimate assassination technique even severely injured you!" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand suddenly laughed out loud, and he sounded proud.

This sudden assassination was one of the trump cards that he planned.

The momentary upfront battle was meant to distract Fei and make him focus onto Senxi, providing that assassin who was hiding in the dark with an excellent opportunity to strike Fei and kill him.

Unfortunately, this assassin was at peak Moon-Class and still a step away from the powerful Sun-Class. Even though his stealth technique and assassination skills were impressive, they weren't enough to kill the King of Chambord. Fei was able to sense the danger ahead of time and dodged a little, making the dagger miss his vital point.

"Damn it! You are shameless! You are a bishop of the Holy Church and a Sun-Class Lord! You don't dare to fight with me directly?" Fei was enraged, and he punched out without hesitation.

The golden fist mark dashed forward and shattered the space around it, making it seem like it was the end of the world.

Then, a figure appeared from the collapsing space. His body was short like a midget, and he puked up a lot of blood. He was the assassin who injured Fei.

Even though Fei was able to severely injure this assassin in turn, he wasn't able to kill this midget-sized assassin.

Suddenly, that figure flashed, and the assassin who was puking up blood shivered and dashed into space, disappearing again as if he was a smooth earthworm.

Just when Fei was about to chase after him, something mystic happened.

Suddenly, silver energy flames appeared, and a vast and undefendable amount of energy pulled on him.

Soon, the world in front of Fei changed, and the dark sky, bright stars, bloody battles, loud shouts, demon beasts' roars, and Chambord City all disappeared at this moment.

In their place was a vast and limitless red space.

Fei felt like he was in a huge desert, and all the sand grains were tiny bloody-red crystals. The sand was red, the sky was red, the light in the space was red, and even the air was red… Everything here was as red as blood, and there weren't any other colors.

Fei frowned and raised his hand.

Bam! He punched out, and a thick, golden energy beam dashed into the sky.

However, after it traveled upward for a long time, it still didn't hit any barriers, and it gradually disappeared from Fei's vision.

"King of Chambord, you are a guilty soul who stained the honor of the gods! You are inside the [God's Forbidden Land]! How dare you still act so arrogantly? Quickly kneel before the gods, surrender your soul, and beg for forgiveness!" Suddenly, a majestic and god-like voice echoed in the sky, and it was so loud that it sounded like a rumble of thunder and was deafening.

Fei looked up and suddenly found that a god was standing in the sky. He wasn't sure when this deity appeared, but this god was more than 1,000 meters tall, and he was enveloped by silver holy power. He had an indescribable aura that could only belong to gods or demons, and he looked down at Fei with might. Two beams of terrifying lights shot out of his eyes, and it felt like these two light beams could cleanse all guilt and burn all evil!

Chapter 683: Assassin! Assassin! (Part One)

"Hahahaha! Surrender! Since you got pulled inside my Sun Anomaly, your fate is set! You are like a piece of meat on the cutting board, and I'm the chef with the knife! All your struggles will be useless and meaningless!" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand shouted.

As he waved his arms, dashes of thick beams of lights shot down from the sky and struck at Fei, enveloping him in this madness. It looked like the king was being pierced by many giant judgment swords.

The battles between Sun-Class Lords were very dangerous and breathtaking. Each of them had the power to destroy the land, and a casual attack from them could change the outcome of a war between ordinary soldiers.

Besides, their unique powers, which were the Sun Anomalies, represented their status and contained incredible abilities.

However, it required perfect timing and position for them to be used.

For example, when two Sun-Class Lords were close in power levels, it was tough for one person to drag the other person into his or her Sun Anomaly especially when the latter was prepared.

One could only pull someone into his or her Sun Anomaly when the latter was much weaker or severely injured. For example, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand only pulled Fei into his Sun Anomaly after that midget severely injured the king, and he couldn't do it before.

However, once someone was sucked into a Sun Anomaly, it would be very dangerous. He or she wouldn't be able to use their own Sun Anomalies unless they defeated their opponents or shattered the Sun Anomalies that they were in.

That was because each Sun Anomaly was a world of its own, and the owner of that world could do anything in it. The battleground would heavily favor the owner since all the laws of nature were overwritten to benefit him or her, and all the laws of nature that the opponents comprehended would be rendered useless temporarily.

What was truly terrifying was that even though the person who got pulled into the Sun Anomaly would be in a disadvantage, every single bit of energy he or her used wouldn't be replenished by the elements in nature. On the other hand, the owner of the Sun Anomaly could have an unlimited supply of energy.

The reason why Fei got pulled into Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's Sun Anomaly so easily was that he got severely injured by that midget!

After Fei was injured, he got furious and lost concentration for a split second. Even though he showed his weakness for a short time, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was able to utilize that mistake!

In a sense, Fei being pulled into the [Gods' Forbidden Land] was a part of Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's careful planning!

This was the first battle that Fei fought where his opponent was also a Sun-Class Lord, and he was taught a huge lesson!

As thick silver light beams shot down from the sky, Fei had to change his positions continuously to dodge and tried to plan a counterstrike. Even though he wasn't being injured further, his situation was getting worse and worse.

In the end, he wasn't able to dodge in time, and he had to take a few of the thick silver light beams head-on. Blood gushed out of the deep wound on his right shoulder non-stop. Right now, his blue robe was almost completely soaked in blood!

Ae time passed, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand who was in the sky became more and more stunned.

The power of the King of Chambord far exceeded his expectations. The king was able to last so long even though powerful light beams were shooting at him, and he didn't even look tired. A lot of his energy was probably already used, but the king wasn't getting slower or weaker.

Like a savage, the king looked brave and heroic as he continued to last in Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand's Sun Anomaly.

Such terrifying endurance!

Chapter 684: Drastic Change (Part One)

This midget suddenly appeared by Angela's side, and the queen didn't know any combat techniques or martial arts. In fact, the expression on her face didn't even change in time…

"Damn it! Stop! AHHHHH!" Elena who was flying toward Blacky was terrified, and she had never been so anxious before. It felt like there wasn't enough time for her to do anything to stop this.

She quickly pulled out her [M'avina's Caster - Grand Matron Bow], and the bowstring vibrated rapidly to a degree where it was hard for human eyes to see, and many arrows flew out continuously as if they were chained to each other.

The arrows pierced through the air and left a trail of afterimages, and the energy contained in them was terrifying…

However, the speed of the arrows was a bit slower than needed.

The dagger in that midget's hand was already too close to Angela, and the chilling light that reflected off the blade already brightened up Angela's neck…

-Sun Anomaly, [Gods' Forbidden Place]-

In this space where everything was red, many red lightning bolts struck down as if the gods were angry.

There was a man who was changing his position on the ground continuously, and his figure was a little blurry due to the high speed. Even though he was also fighting back, the situation wasn't in his favor.

"Hahahaha! King of Chambord, give up! As soon as you entered my Sun Anomaly, your defeat became inevitable! Even if you try to fight back, it would be a waste of your energy! Why waste both of our time?" Bishop Senxi stood in mid-air and said with a proud expression.

He was high up in the sky, and he felt like a god who was in control of everything. As he looked down at the person who was running around like a beast in a huge cage, he felt like he was watching a circus show.

Silence!

Even though that figure was dodging lightning bolts at every second, he didn't respond. In fact, he didn't even look at Senxi.

"Hahahaha! Ok! I will wait and see how long you can last without the ability to replenish your energy! Hahaha! Sun-Class Heavenly Lightning! Red-Flash Lightning Bolts!"

As Bishop Senxi of Red Sand roared in the sky, he waved the [Black Reef Staff].

Instantly, the lightning bolts that were striking down from the sky increased in number and intensity.

As these lightning bolts got thicker and more powerful, even the ground got numerous cracks struck into them. The red sand grains melted and became thick red liquid under such high temperature, and the red desert was turning into a red sea!

Boom!

Finally, a bloody lightning bolt that was more than one-meter-thick struck Fei right on his head.

As if the lightning power numbed his muscles, Fei's speed reduced drastically, losing his excellent tempo and control.

Then, he was instantly struck by a few more lightning bolts and got enveloped in a sea of red lightning power.

"Hahaha! You are dead!"

This scene made Bishop Senxi of Red Sand who was in the sky relax and calm down, and his heart that was in his throat finally dropped back into his chest.

He had been scared by the trump cards that the King of Chambord revealed one after another. Therefore, even though he already pulled Fei into his Sun Anomaly, he was still not feeling confident about it; he was afraid that Fei might do something else beyond his comprehension and turn the situation around again.

When seeing this scene, he finally relaxed since he knew how terrifying these red lightning bolts were. After all, they were cast by him using the semi-god-tier combat weapon, [Black Reef Staff]; it was enough to numb an inexperienced Sun-Class Lord for more than ten seconds.

Chapter 685: Strange Cave (Part One)

It was a well-known fact that the owner of a Sun Anomaly was like a god in his or her own dimension. They could easily control everything in their Sun Anomalies, and opponents who were several times more powerful than them would be played with and defeated by them.

Unless their opponents were strong enough to shatter space and break the Sun Anomaly, the situation wouldn't be able to be turned around. In other words, Sun-Class Lords weren't able to open their Sun Anomalies in someone else's Sun Anomaly.

This was an iron law on Azeroth Continent.

However, what was happening in front of Senxi told him that something was wrong. He was inside a dark cave, and he could hear the roars of demons and monsters. In addition, the chilling air, the evil energy, and the gloomy sensation make it clear: Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was not in the real world and not in the [Gods' Forbidden Land]. Theoretically, it seemed like he was inside someone else's Sun Anomaly. In fact, he should be inside the King of Chambord's Sun Anomaly.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand got stunned by this discovery; it was more shocking to him compared with if someone told him that Pope Blatter was actually an undead mage.

"The King of Chambord broke the iron law on Azeroth Continent. He used his Sun Anomaly in my Sun Anomaly… How?" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand thought to himself; he couldn't calm himself down at all! He was terrified!

After a moment, he forced himself to relax, and the semi-god-tier combat weapon, [Black Reef Staff], shined brightly after he injected his energy into it. The dark cave was lit up, and Senxi was finally able to see his surroundings. There were a ton of black rocks around him, and they were freezing. A rotten and bloody smell permeated the air, and Senxi didn't see where the King of Chambord was.

Suddenly, a series of slow yet clear footsteps sounded from the inner of the cave through the corridors.

Senxi was a bit nervous, and he unleashed all his holy power, trying to concentrate and be prepared for what was about to come.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the corridor, and it seemed like this figure was having a hard time walking since he staggered and strolled. There was no sense of life on him, but there was a thick layer of evil energy surging on him. Both of his arms were raised parallel to the ground, and it looked bizarre…

"A… A zombie that is close to the realm of Sun-Class?"

After that figure got closer, Senxi finally saw what it was.

This figure was actually a zombie! It was almost entirely naked, and its skin was in a greenish black color. The rotten flesh stuck to its body, and its eyeballs were almost going to drop out of its eye frames.

To his surprise, this figure wasn't the King of Chambord at all.

"Such an evil existence! The gods won't allow the existence of such beings! Melt under the light of the holy power!"

The holy power of the Holy Church was a great counter to undead creatures, and Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was a master at it. As soon as he waved his hand, a dash of white flame shot out and enveloped this zombie. Then, a gush of stinky odor permeated the air. Without having the ability to defend itself, this zombie got turned into a pool of thick yellow liquid that smelled bad.

"What is going on? Is this not the King of Chambord's Sun Anomaly?" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was a little confused.

After destroying this zombie, he was more confused than ever. According to his understanding of the King of Chambord's power, this young king just advanced into the Sun-Class Realm.

In fact, he believed that the King of Chambord was a bit weaker than him, probably at level 4 or level 5 low-tier Morning Sun Realm.

According to the power of Sun-Class Lords in this realm, even if they were able to construct their Sun Anomalies, they couldn't create a space that was this real-life-like! After all, there was even a zombie that was almost on the level of Sun-Class in this cave, and it could be counted as a form of life.

In theory, only Sun-Class Lords in the realm of Burning Sun could create living beings in their Sun Anomalies!

What took place confused and puzzled Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand.

Chapter 686: The King of Chambord's Sun Anomaly (Part One)

After Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand walked through several maze-like corridors and killed more than 20 monsters, he arrived at a more spacious hall.

There were five to six zombies here, slowly wandering around.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand stared at the zombie that had a unique green skin, and his pupil contracted.

This green zombie was much stronger than its peers, and it was around the realm of level 7 or 8 low-tier Morning Sun. Senxi sensed danger from it.

If Senxi didn't have [Black Reef Staff] which was a semi-god-tier weapon, even though he could defeat it, it would take him a lot of time and energy.

Concerned, he used [Black Reef Staff] to full force and killed this green monster after 20 minutes of hard battle.

As soon as the green zombie died, dashes of light shined down from the ceiling of the cave, getting rid of the darkness. At the same time, the evil energies that were in here were also shattered and destroyed.

"This…" Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand relaxed a little.

"Since lights appeared, it seems like things are moving in the right direction. Maybe an exit out of this evil cave will appear soon," he thought as he exhaled.

As he was looking around, he suddenly saw something and froze.

He wasn't sure when, but there was someone in front of him dressed in a set of mystical and majestic armor.

This figure was tall, and his long black hair fluttered like the waterfall. While he was standing straight, his back was facing Senxi.

To Senxi, this figure looked familiar. The black armor looked ancient yet barbaric. While it had a violent and murderous presence, a mysterious and supreme king-like aura enveloped it.

-In the sky-

"Hahahaha! King of Chambord! You dared to injure me severely, so I will f*cking kill your woman! This is payback!" That midget-sized assassin sneered as murderous spirits shot out of his eyes.

Even though he knew that this woman named Angela was an important chess piece that the Holy Church wanted, and she was desired by both the Shiye Shrine and Bishop Platini of the Northern Regional Church, he was injured by the King of Chambord and in a state of frenzy. He ignored all the consequences and wanted to take revenge to vent his anger.

The dagger in his hand shone brightly, and the blade was already very close to the smooth neck of the woman in front of him.

This midget-sized assassin felt like he already smelled blood!

Killing! Especially the killing of a beautiful woman such as the one in front of him would bring him extreme pleasure.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sharp air-piercing noises suddenly sounded behind him.

This midget-sized assassin 's expression changed, but he wasn't too worried. He adjusted his positions slightly, and some parts of his body bulged and concaved strangely. In the end, he easily dodged all of Elena's arrows by paying the price of getting his clothes torn.

Even though this happened, his strangely huge hand didn't move away from its track. The cold dagger was still slashing at Angela's neck.

At this moment, warriors on the side of Chambord felt like time froze. The hearts of people like Elena and Lampard who were either on the ground or in mid-air stopped pumping for a second, and Blacky couldn't get away from this enemy even though it roared and fluttered its wings quickly since this midget-sized assassin already got onto its back. Other demon beasts such as the dragons wanted to help as well, but it was too late.

Chapter 687: Power of the Stone Crusher (Part One)

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-god-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 gods!

"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 massive 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 gods 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.

Chapter 688: Endless Sun Anomalies (Part One)

Everything in the cave went back to normal and quieted down.

Blood was being spilled, and it dyed part of the wall. As it slid down the wall following the texture of the natural stones, both the wall and the ground were stained.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand slowly slid down the wall powerlessly, and his body left a horrifying blood trail on the wall.

That strike from Fei almost destroyed all the bones in his body, and cracks even formed on his skin. He wasn't in a good situation. Also, there was now a deep human-shape dent on the wall, and it was shocking.

However, the vitality of a Sun-Class Lord was impressive.

Even though he was this injured, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand didn't die right away. He still had his consciousness, and he looked tired yet also relaxed. Since he didn't die after taking that strike from the King of Chambord, he was going to live on. Although the injury was severe, the holy power of the Holy Church was one of the energies that were best at healing. As long as he didn't die, he would survive.

"Puff… Eh! King of Chambord… this war hammer… your power… Damn, you win!"

Even though Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand looked unwilling, he gritted his teeth and officially admitted defeat.

The bones in his body were all broken, and his holy power was depleted. Right now, he was lying on the ground like a dying animal. As he tried his best to glanced around the cave one more time, he asked weakly, "Losing to a talented genius like you isn't shameful, but I have a question that I hope Your Majesty could answer."

Fei put away the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] and looked at Senxi.

"Go on," he said and nodded.

"What is… your Sun Anomaly? How is there living beings in here? And how are they almost as powerful as us? In addition, you even used your Sun Anomaly within my [Gods' Forbidden Land] … How did you do all this?" Perhaps it was because he wanted to know the answers badly, Senxi somehow managed to sit up, and his pale face turned a little red.

Fei sneered and said slowly, "My Sun Anomaly is called the [Den of Evil], and I don't know why there are creatures in here. After I advanced into Sun-Class, this is the first time that I used it. That is that. I thought everyone's Sun Anomaly is like this. In terms of your last question. Hahaha! Do you think I will tell you that? These kinds of secret techniques are concealed everywhere!"

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was a little stunned. Even though he looked embarrassed and angry, he couldn't do anything.

In fact, he was quite confused and not sure what to do.

"The King of Chambord broke several iron laws of cultivation on Azeroth Continent repeatedly. Could it be that he is really a genius among geniuses? Or is he the reincarnation of a god? Both Bishop Platini and I have underestimated him. With such a talented bishop, Black-Cloth Shrine has high hope of restoring its former glory!" he thought to himself.

However, there was no way that he knew Fei's power came from Diablo World, and he also didn't realize that Fei didn't tell the truth.

Fei's Sun Anomaly was the [Den of Evil], one of the locations on the [Blood Moor] at the first map in Diablo World, [The Rogue Encampment].

After Fei received the first quest in Hell Mode and killed all the monsters in the [Den of Evil], that cold and mysterious voice, which hadn't appeared in a long time, sounded by Fei's ears and rewarded this cave to Fei as a virtue space.

In a sense, Fei could summon the [Den of Evil] when he was in a battle in the real world, and it will be his battlefield. It was very similar to the Sun Anomalies of other Sun-Class Lords, and Fei could control everything in here.

In the [Den of Evil], Fei could replenish all his power at will, and his opponents' depleted energy wouldn't be able to recover at this place. In fact, Fei could even use a [Town Portal Scroll] to go back to [The Rogue Encampment] and stock up on potions and change items.

What was more surprising was that his opponents were like bosses in Diablo World. If they were killed in here, the items they had on them could be dropped.

Chapter 689: The Kingdom on The Rise (Part One)

This person was in a black cloak, and he was quite muscular.

Right now, blood was flowing down his lips, and there was a hole in his waist. This hole was about the circumference of an arm, and one could see through it; it was terrifying.

Ordinary people would have died from such a severe injury, but this man was still mobile and could stay in the sky.

He was Lemorz, one of the two elders of the Shiye Shrine who came here.

He dashed by and caught Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand who was falling, and he quickly backed off.

Then, another figure dashed over and stood with Lemorz.

This person was also in rough shape. His black cloak was nowhere to be seen, and he was wearing a robe that he found from somewhere. This new robe was too small for him, and a portion of his lower legs was exposed. As he stayed in the sky, blood flowed out of his mouth and nose, and he looked furious. He was the other elder of Shiye, Dior.

Fei was a little surprised to see them, but he calmed down after seeing how terrible of a condition that they were in.

From the looks of it, it seemed like they weren't victorious against Right Deacon of Black-Cloth, Batistuta, and the Undead Mage.

Fei glanced around and saw those two Sun-Class Lords standing on the ground with the crowd. Batistuta used up a lot of his holy power, but he didn't have many injuries on his body. On the other hand, Hazel Bank stood there as if nothing happened. From his aura and look, it seemed like he wasn't in a battle.

The two of them won.

The battles also indirectly compared the two Sun-Class Lords who were under the command of King Alexander. Dior and Lemorz were on the same level, but Hazel Bank didn't use all his power to win compared with Batistuta who used a lot of effort. It was clear who was more powerful.

The battles on Tiananmen Square ended about four minutes after that midget-sized assassin died to the demon beasts.

Seeing that Angela almost died under the assassination, Valkyrie Elena who was furious stood on Blacky and poured her anger onto the masters of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance].

Her bowstring vibrated quickly, and the arrows were shot down like raindrops. The arrows were lethal, and they tore through the darkness and hit all the Moon-Class Elites who were still trying to fight back. The arrows dashed down like meteors that dragged longtails, and they nailed the masters onto the ground, freezing their limbs with the ice magic energy. Even though these masters wanted to fight back, they were no match.

The anger of the Valkyrie was shocking. She was only one step away from Sun-Class, and her strength was completely revealed.

Seeing this, those envoys and guests from other kingdoms and empires were stunned, and they shivered subconsciously. Even though they weren't a part of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance], they were still a little fearful of such great power.

Looking up at the beautiful and invincible Valkyrie who was in a set of fancy armor and those vicious supreme king-level demon beasts that arranged themselves in a formation under the command of Angela who was in her long white dress, the outsiders were shocked to their cores.

The stunning visual images, as well as the powerful and wild auras, made them feel like they were dreaming.

"The two beautiful Queens of Chambord aren't less powerful than the King of Chambord! From now on, who else could rival them within 500,000 kilometers of Chambord?" they thought, "From now on, those three can go anywhere on the continent!"

[Sky Covering Fist] King of Chambord! [Red and White Beauties] Queens of Chambord!

All the guests were thinking, "We have to take this opportunity to strengthen our friendship with Chambord! Their momentum is too strong! No one can press them down now!"

Chapter 690: Dealing with Prisoners (Part One)

Seeing those three masters of the Holy Church running away in despair and fear, a ferocious expression flashed on Fei's face. However, he smiled and didn't chase.

"Much thanks to you two!" Fei slowly landed on the ground, and he instantly expressed his gratitude toward Batistuta and Hazel Bank.

If it weren't for these two Sun-Class Lords who stopped the two elders of the Shiye Shrine, it would have been hard for Chambord to turn the situation around.

"It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty!" Hazel Bank nodded. He didn't appear much in Chambord City, and Fei didn't officially introduce him to the officials and warriors of Chambord. Therefore, most people didn't know him, and they observed him with curiosity.

The Undead Mage didn't say much more. He turned into a dash of black light and disappeared into the back mountains of Chambord.

Seeing how calm the Undead Mage was, Fei also relaxed further. From the look of things, even though his opponent was one of the powerful elders of the Shiye Shrine, Hazel Bank still defeated his opponent without revealing his identity as an undead mage.

Summoning Hazel Bank to battle was a risk that Fei had to take.

Even though the Black-Cloth Shrine still had some accumulations, and Left Deacon Lexberg was also a Sun-Class Lord in addition to Batistuta, he wasn't able to arrive at Chambord City in time. Therefore, Hazel Bank had to take his spot in battle.

"Hahaha! Tonight's battle was thrilling! Seeing those three lapdogs of Platini running away with tails between their legs, it sure vented the frustration that accumulated on my mind for these years! Hahaha!" Batistuta laughed. For all these years, the Black-Cloth Shrine had been pressured by other shrines all the time, and it had never fought back in this direct manner.

He added, "Your Majesty, since the situation here is done, I will go back to supervising the construction of the shrine!"

After he said that, he turned into a dash of white light and also disappeared into the direction of the Five Sword Sky Mountain.

After the two Sun-Class Lords left, the people on the square of Chambord finally felt like the mountains on their minds were lifted, and they could finally breathe normally again.

Even though Hazel Bank and Batistuta weren't trying to unleash their auras, their sensations that they had around them were too much for other people to take. After all, the power ladder on the Azeroth Continent was strict, and the weaker warriors couldn't do anything but feel pressured

"Alexander!" Seeing Fei's safe return, Angela and Elena ran over and stood by his sides anxiously yet joyously.

Right now, the two queens no longer looked threatening and powerful! They were gentle and gorgeous, making people in the area surprised over their change of appearance. All the guests were now almost drooling over Fei's luck and fortune.

Angela dismissed the Demon Beast Legion, and Blacky and the three dragons led the supreme king-level demon beasts back into the vast and limitless forests and mountains behind Chambord City.

Even though Tiananmen Square was in a mess, it didn't affect the Chambordians' joy and happiness.

"Greeting! Your Majesty and Your Highnesses!"

The masters of Chambord quickly kneeled and cheered.

Then, except for those members of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] as well as the envoy group of Zenit that was led by Second Prince Dominguez, all other guests and envoys kneeled and cheered, "Hail the King!"

After witnessing this huge battle, almost all of them were terrified.

Chapter 691: The Arrival of One Messenger (Part One)

The masters of Chambord in the area were all angry.

Also, the envoys and guests from other kingdoms and empires wanted to know how Chambord was going to deal with these Moon-Class Elites who were now captives.

In fact, there were so many Moon-Class Elite here that it was beyond strange. If Chambord were able to somehow bring them into its force, the power of Chambord would grow into an even more terrifying level.

Fei sneered and waved his hand, and a golden sword energy came out of his fingers and dashed forward.

Whoosh!

Three heads flew into the air.

Disov and his two peers couldn't believe it! Until that sword energy actually killed them, they didn't think that the King of Chambord dared to touch them without even giving an excuse. After all, they were holy knights who were known in the Northern Regional Church!

As blood gushed into the air, the three corpses collapsed onto the ground.

"Butcher!" The envoys and guests who were sitting in the VIP areas shivered in fear, and their faces changed color.

Since the King of Chambord even dared to kill the Moon-Class Holy Knights of the Holy Church, who wouldn't he dare to kill? It would be too terrifying to trigger and offend someone like this king!

The other Moon-Class Elites of the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] sensed a chill coming up their spines and right into their skulls, and they felt like they were placed in a freezer.

Immediately, people started to kneel and beg for mercy ashen-faced. "Honorable Lord! Supreme King Alexander of Chambord! Please forgive me! I was trick by them and came here without knowledge! I'm willing to serve the Chambord Kingdom and fight for Your Majesty! Please show mercy!"

Fei shook his head and said, "Execute!"

Then, short white-haired Pierce stood out and raised his arm. Saint Sword Excalibur dashed down, and then a head rolled on the ground.

People in the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] saw this scene, and some people got another idea. One of them stood up and shouted, "King of Chambord! Kill me if you want! I'm a Moon-Class Elite, and I have my dignity! I will never kneel and surrender to my enemies! Hahaha! On the path of cultivation, losing means death! Today, even if I die, I won't regret dying in the hands of true masters!"

What this person said was honorable and master-like. A lot of people around him were surprised, and some of them got a better impression of him.

"This is the true presence and dignity of a Moon-Class Elite!" they thought.

Just when everyone thought that the King of Chambord would pardon this person and recruit him for being such an honorable master, Fei sneered and shook his head. "Execute!"

Pierce raised his arm, and Saint Sword Excalibur appeared again. Suddenly a terrified expression appeared on this Moon-Class Elite's face. Before he could beg for forgiveness, he was already killed without mercy.

Then, Fei glanced at the rest of the Moon-Class Elites who were still alive.

His stare wasn't sharp, but it wasn't indecisive and troubled as well.

After a short pause, Fei said calmly, "Since you guys came to Chambord with the intent of killing and robbing, I don't think you would have let go of my citizens if Chambord lost the battle tonight. All actions have consequences, and you should have thought about this beforehand. People die of greed. Don't blame me for being cruel and inhumane. Today, I'm going to borrow your heads and tell those bandits, who are still looking at Chambord with greed, the consequences of messing with us!"

After that was said, the Moon-Class Elites knew that they couldn't survive through the night. Some people cussed, some people stated their identities and threatened, some people turned ashen-faced, some people begged and shivered, and some people tried to break free…

Chapter 692: Something Big Happened (Part One)

Fei's expression turned serious.

He recognized this man in yellow; he was a member of Chambord's intelligence network, [Letter Office].

Due to the battle tonight, Fei had to summon Military Leader of Rogue Encampment, Kashya, so the [Letter Office] couldn't use her to deliver messages to Fei through the magic teleportation portals.

Therefore, they had to send their best rider and fastest horse to pass on the message from St. Petersburg which was very far away.

"Something big must have happened. Otherwise, Modric who is very steady and calm wouldn't be so anxious and give this order!" Fei thought.

After getting the magic letter from this man's hand, Fei signaled Torres and asked him to take this man in yellow away for healing.

With everyone's eyes on him, Fei opened the letter and quickly read it. As soon as he started reading it, his expression changed; he didn't say anything for a while.

Then, he raised his hand and sent the letter flying to Second Prince Dominguez who was sitting in the VIP area.

With a confused expression, Dominguez looked at Fei and then read the letter.

In the next moment, this prince who was always calm and collected was shocked. With the letter in his hands, he shivered uncontrollably, and an anxious and mad expression appeared on his face.

This scene made all the people around him curious.

"What happened? Why are both the King of Chambord and Prince Dominguez so stunned?" they thought.

After reading the letter, Dominguez passed the letter to two of his core followers, [Demonic Woman] Paris and [Red Beard] Granello.

As soon as they finished reading the letter, their expressions turned ugly as if they learned something unbelievable. In the next moment, they both looked at the King of Chambord who was sitting on his throne.

Dominguez walked out of the VIP area and went to face Fei. After a moment of pause, he organized his words and asked as he stared at Fei in the eyes, "Alexander, would Chambord ignore this situation?"

People were confused as to why this prince asked this question.

However, Fei nodded and said, "Chambord is a member of Zenit, so we won't just stay here and watch. However, it isn't the right time for Chambord to get involved."

Second Prince Dominguez stared at Fei in his eyes as if he wanted to read some of Fei's thoughts. A few seconds passed, and he nodded and replied, "Ok, I believe you. As a friend, I believe that you will make the correct decision."

After that, this handsome prince instantly turned around and walked to the other people who came to Chambord with him. He commanded, "Everyone in the envoy group, get ready! Ditch all heavy items and only pack the essentials. We are leaving in ten minutes, and we need to return to St. Petersburg as soon as we can!"

Then, this group of people quickly left.

"Alexander, I hope that we can still meet again in this life." Before she left, Paris who was really alluring turned around and looked at Fei with a complicated expression, and her tone sounded pessimistic and sad even though she had a smile on her face. After that, she left with the other people quickly.

"Looks like something huge happened in the Capital of Zenit. What happened? Could it be… Could it be that Emperor Yassin who is rumored to be dying finally died? Did all the injuries in his body and the corrosion of time kill him? That is probably the only thing that would get Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit this anxious. It is well-known that these two princes are fighting for the throne fiercely. As soon as Emperor Yassin dies, the battle for the throne would be over!" The people who were cleverer already started to guess and make assumptions.

Chapter 693: Terrifying Xuan'ge! (Part One)

After about three minutes, even regular Star-Level Warrior and Mages were able to sense a great amount of energy coming over from the south direction. Something powerful and quick was dashing over in the sky, and it felt like a god was descending from heaven.

"What is that?" Everyone was surprised. This aura wasn't from a living being. Instead, it felt like a huge magic array was moving in the sky! It was beyond strange!

After dozens of seconds passed, Fei's expression suddenly changed; it looked like he was stunned.

He waved his hand, and the masters of Chambord instantly understood what he meant. They formed a defense formation and protected Angela in the middle since she didn't know any combat techniques.

In the next moment, a huge shadow enveloped in flashing green and black lights slowly showed itself in the southern sky.

"That is…"

Everyone gasped, and they couldn't utter a word! It felt like they were struck by lightning!

A huge barge appeared in the nightly sky.

It was a battle barge that was flying in the sky!

This battle barge was about 500 meters long and 200 meters wide, and it was all black.

The black sails on this barge were fluttering in the air like crazy, looking like huge blades that were going to tear up the sky. Also, all kinds of mysterious magic runes were engraved on the barge, flashing green and black lights.

There were clouds of light green wind-elemental magic energy swirling below the barge, lifting this huge structure in the air and moving it toward the direction of Chambord.

It was a terrifying product of a magic civilization!

Fei was completely shocked!

This was the most unbelievable magic product he had ever seen after he came to the Azeroth Continent.

A mysterious battle barge that could float and move in the sky was more powerful than the planes on Earth! In fact, it reminded him of the Helicarrier in Marvel Comics! It made him feel like he was dreaming!

The Reverse Whale Battleship, [King Alexander], was a mimic of a battleship from the Mythical Era. Since it was built using the techniques of the magic civilization, it could sail on the river but also seal itself and submerge underwater like submarines. It made Fei quite proud.

However, comparing Reverse Whale Battleship with this floating battle barge, it was way too inferior.

Not only Fei, but all the people around him such as Cech and Drogba were all stunned; it was their first time seeing such a magnificent sky fortress.

"It is a Xuan'ge! It is a Xuan'ge from the Ormond Empire. Why is something like this here?" Strategist and Advisor, Old Aryang, who was silent all this time suddenly gasped. As a complicated expression appeared on his face, his body shivered violently. No one knew if it were due to fear or anger.

"Xun'ge?" Fei thought of something and asked.

Old Aryang nodded and said slowly, "That is right. The Ormond Empire, a level 7 empire, has flying battle barges named Xuan'ge. They are made from a unique wood material called ironwood. These ironwoods are black and look like metal. However, they are tougher than iron but lighter than wood. In addition, they have great magic conductivity and are specialties of the Ormond Empire. After several generations of talents and geniuses, the empire created the huge flying battle barges that we are seeing today. They are named Xuan'ge, and they are flying fortresses that the Ormond Empire replies on to be a superpower. In several big wars, they helped the empire out and destroyed its enemies. They are true rulers of the sky!"

After hearing the explanation, the people in the area finally understood the origin of this huge black flying barge.

"The Ormond Empire? Level 7?" Fei frowned and thought, "The Zenit Empire is only a small level 1 empire, and the Leon Empire, which dominates in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit, is only a level 6 empire. That means this Xuan'ge might be from one million kilometers away… They are up to no good!"

Chapter 694: The Beginning of the Chaos Era (Part One)

"Get the f*ck down!" Seeing the ruins, Oleg's eyes instantly turned red.

Ever since the inception of the bylaw enforcement force, it had never been harmed this much before.

This fatty who was very angry overlooked all rules.

"F*ck this level 7 Ormond Empire! F*uck this Xuan'ge! F*ck them!"

As he roared, his earth-elemental warrior energy exploded, and the huge hammer in his hand dashed out before Fei's command.

The huge hammer struck toward the Xuan'ge in the air, and it drew a yellow-crack-like mark in the dark sky. The metal chain that connected the hammer to Oleg's arms extended out as if it were limitless, and it looked like a huge python that was charging at that Xuan'ge.

When angered, this flatterer actually exploded and used the strength that was equivalent to level 1 mid-tier New Moon.

This level of elevation even surprised Fei a little, and the king thought, "This flatterer's power during a rage isn't bad. Should I anger this fatty regularly? It might help him increase his strength by a lot!"

The huge hammer struck at the Xuan'ge like a meteor.

Boom!

A loud noise resonated in the air, and that Xuan'ge which could be the main force of a legion shivered.

The Chambordians observed this carefully.

When the hammer was about 20 meters away from the Xuan'ge, a layer of green lights suddenly appeared. A lot of magic arrays on the ship started to flash and shine, and the energy sphere that they produced blocked Oleg's hammer strike which could be counted as his peak performance.

"Open up!"

This fatty who was in a frenzy roared, and he appeared to be even more ferocious than Drogba and Pierce. His colossal body slowly raised into the sky, and he swung the hammer using the chain, making a huge orange light disk appear since this hammer was being swung so fast.

As the metal chain collided and made a series of tinkling noises, the hammer struck the Xuan'ge again and again.

Boom!

A series of rumbling noises sounded in the sky again.

Under the continuous attacks, the body of the battle barge started to shake. Even though Oleg's hammer didn't break the energy sphere outside the barge, it made its body shake violently. The magic cannon at the front of the barge lit up again, and a cloud of red energy appeared. This cloud of energy continued to change shape, and it was clear that it couldn't stabilize the energy and shoot out another beam of fire to attack.

"Your low-life natives! How dare a bunch of fireflies competes with the Moon in the sky? F*ck off!" An arrogant voice sounded, and the shout almost shattered the sky. Then, a dash of brilliant sword energy chopped down from the Xuan'ge.

This sword energy was so shiny that it looked like a star, and it felt like the power contained in it was able to push over anything in this world.

Such power wasn't something that Oleg could stop.

Sensing this acute danger, the Fatty was quickly woken up from his state of frenzy by a chill that was shooting up his spine. His bravery instantly disappeared.

As he screamed, he quickly tried to shrink his shivering body and hid behind his huge black hammer.

Boom!

That sword energy struck onto the huge hammer, but the stars in the sky suddenly shone brightly. The golden starlight showed and displayed the image of a huge crab in the sky, and the starlight shined down, empowering this hammer.

Then, this fatty and his huge hammer were both struck down from the sky and fell like a meteor.

Fei was planning to rescue this flatterer, but he paused after seeing this. As the Gold Saint of Cancer, Oleg borrowed the star power at that critical moment and saved himself.

Chapter 695: Demonic Sword Energy (Part One)

On the Xuan'ge, there were many buildings that looked just like the structures on a massive battleship. However, they were slightly modified to fit the Xuan'ge's new layout. There were tall sail poles, big command center, and various other fancy and luxurious structures.

On the deck that had many magic runes engravings, hundreds of soldiers in black and yellow armor ran out, sweating as they operated the various mechanisms on the Xuan'ge.

There were also more than a dozen commander-looking people standing around a huge, black cannon at the head of the barge, talking about something.

Beside them, there were ten huge men. They were more than two meters tall, and they were bulky like muscle mountains. They were not wearing anything in the upper body, and they were only wearing yellow leather shorts. They also had yellow body hair, and they looked like apes that didn't evolve.

They were full of power and looked like beasts, and they were shouting and trying to control this huge black cannon. They were adjusting the position of this cannon and trying to change the angle according to the commanders' orders.

Beside them, there were four fire-elemental Seven-Star Mages who continued to inject fire magic energy into the body of the cannon. The fire magic energy flowed into the cannon, activating the magic gems that were inlaid in its body and the base. Once the angle of the cannon was fixed, the magic arrays were going to shoot out another destructive strike.

It seemed like none of the enemies expected Chambordians to get through the energy sphere created by the Xuan'ge.

Seeing Fei, Old Aryang, and Robbin landing on the deck, everyone on the Xuan'ge was stunned. The first few commanders quickly reacted, and they roared, "Quickly! Capture these natives!"

As they shouted, they pulled out their swords, commanding the soldiers around them to charge at Fei like a flood.

"Protect your father."

After whispering that to Robbin, Fei dashed off [The Throne of Chaos] and charged into the crowd of soldiers.

How powerful was Fei? Regular soldiers were no match for him!

After he punched out once, a huge amount of force from the thrust smashed forward, instantly destroying the first 20 elite soldiers of the Ormond Empire who were charging at him.

Bam! Bam! Bam! They were all turned into blood mists.

With golden energy flames around him, Fei looked magnificent and holy. Like a tiger in a herd of sheep, he was invincible! Every time he moved his body, some enemies would fall off the deck and drop down from the sky like broken kites.

"AHHHHH!"

"NO! Request for the appearance of the guardians! We need them to kill this native!" the soldiers in yellow screamed.

A few commanders were shocked to see this. Even though they were all Nine-Star Warriors and could be considered powerful in any empire, they couldn't react in time! They were lightly touched by the golden-selike energy, and their bodies cracked!

They were stunned! They thought Fei was a regular Moon-Class Elite, and they expected to hold him down for a short period while the masters were on their way. However, Fei's power surprised them, and they were terrified.

Besides the soldiers, there were archers who were hiding in many positions and shooting sneaky arrows at Fei.

However, these magic arrows that could penetrate through the bodies of Moon-Class Elites couldn't even get within 20 meters of Fei! The golden energy flames shattered the arrows and turned them into dust. The force even turned some arrows around and shot them back, killing some of the archers instantly.

"Yuck! Who is a weak bug?" Fei laughed as he crushed his enemies in front of him.

As he divided the herds of enemies apart by waving his hands, he instantly appeared before the huge magic cannon that was at the front of the Xuan'ge.

With another wave of his hand, ten sword energies shot out and killed the ten huge men who were operating the powerful weapon before they could jump at him, cutting them into halves.

Those four Seven-Star Mages just finished chanting their spells, and a sea of fire swamp at Fei, taking the form of many dragons. The scene was scary.

However, Fei pushed his palms forward, and the golden energy waves expanded. The roaring fire dragons whined and were forced back, instantly enveloping these four mages.

After a series of screams, several figures that were covered with flames staggered and fell off the deck. When they were falling, they were also turned into burned corpses!

Chapter 696: The Meeting of Old Acquaintances (Part One)

Seeing this mythical and legendary level battle, the people on the Xuan'ge and in Chambord City were all stunned.

Inside the hotels and various temporary residences, the envoys and guests from nearby empires and kingdoms looked at the huge Xuan'ge in the air and insane battle, and they couldn't hold back their shock.

"Who is this person? This person can pressure the King of Chambord, who is a powerful warrior, to this degree?"

At this moment, the envoy group from Zenit hadn't left Chambord City yet. As Second Prince Dominguez leaped into the air and sat onto his white horse, he lifted the mask on his helmet and looked up. The shiny sword energies in the sky lit up his handsome face and his shiver magic armor.

If one paid more attention to him, they would see that this prince of Zenit who was always calm and collected had a concerned expression on his face.

"Is the situation this terrible? The enemies can move on the territory of the empire this freely?"

Dominguez lowered his head and sighed.

However, he quickly thought of something, and his expression turned more upbeat. He whipped his horse and dashed toward the gate of the city. He shouted, "Everyone, follow up! We need to leave here by tonight and reach St. Petersburg by tomorrow morning! This is an urgent command!"

"Your Highness, we need to be careful. The situation is already this chaotic, and even Chambord is involved in the war. Wouldn't it be better for us to leave once the King of Chambord finishes this battle?" Someone suggested in the group.

"We need to leave right now! Anyone who goes against my order shall be executed on the spot! Even if I have to die, I will die in the Capital."

As soon as he finished that, Dominguez dashed forward on his horse and disappeared into the darkness.

[Demonic Woman] Paris and [Red Beard] Granello looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. They smiled bitterly, and Granello shouted, "Everyone, follow up! We need to protect His Highness!"

A series of thunderous clip-clop noises sounded, and more than 20 elite cavaliers immediately followed up with Dominguez. Then, the team moved to the defense wall of Chambord City and was prepared to leave, travel across the river, and join the rest of the envoy group that was residing on the other side of the river.

"[One Sword]! You b*stard! Get the f*ck out here! You traitor!"

Standing in mid-air, Fei suddenly roared at the Xuan'ge with the war hammer in one of his hands.

His loud voice resonated in the sky.

"Long time no see, King Alexander!" A thin figure appeared at the front of the Xuan'ge.

This man was wearing a set of fancy black and yellow armor, and there seemed to be a cloud of terrifying magic power on it. The double-hand sword on his back was wide, and it looked shiny like a crystal. When watching from afar, it seemed like he was carrying a dash of starlight.

He wasn't too tall nor too short, and his long brown hair was fluttering in the wind. There seemed to be redness flashing in his eyes, and it looked terrifying. It seemed like he was an ancient beast that was about to devour humans at any second.

Even though his outfit choices changed a lot, and his facial features were slightly altered, Fei could still tell that this man who suddenly appeared was [One Sword], the former No.1 Master amongst the affiliated kingdoms of Zenit and a strong candidate during the competition at St. Petersburg several months ago.

"It is really you! This is disappointing!" Fei observed him carefully and said with a disappointed expression on his face.

When Fei first saw that dash of sword energy about ten minutes ago, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

At that time, he couldn't be sure.

Although the trajectory of the sword energy and the technique used were similar to [One Sword]'s, the sword spirit and energy were completely different.; the sword energy and aura were demonic, and [One Sword]'s old aura was filled with loneliness and desolation.

However, through the quick battle that just happened, Fei confirmed that this mysterious master was [One Sword].

This discovery indeed disappointed Fei.

Although [One Sword] stood on the opposite side of the king, he was powerful and proud, upholding the pride and dignity of a true warrior and swordsman. He was a talented genius, and Fei respected him for that for a while.

Chapter 697: Legendary Battle (1) (Part One)

"Hahaha! Ridiculous! Just you? Just you alone?"

[One Sword] was enraged by Fei's mockery. This man who was now easily angered opened his bloody eyes wide, and he looked like a demon.

Whoosh!

The silver sword on his back cried and jumped into his hands on its own, and the body of the sword looked so smooth that it was as reflective as a pond. Bright lights enveloped it, and it seemed like it was filled with spirit. This sword is a high-level combat weapon.

"Today, I will chop off your head! I will let all the dirty natives of Zenit know that you, the King of Chambord, are only a weak ant! You will never be able to defeat me! Meeting me is the biggest mistake that you made in your life!"

As [One Sword] shouted, sword energies dashed out. Like brilliant beams of light, they formed a giant energy net, flying at Fei.

The king was calm.

This time, he didn't back off but instead dashed forward, charging at the net made from powerful sword energies.

[Immortal King's Stone Crusher] in Fei's hand let out a series of howls as if a wild king was angry, and the mystic runes on the body of the hammer shined as if they were being activated. As if they had lives of their own, lights shot out of them and turned into golden dragons. This was the terrifying phenomenon caused by one of the most powerful barbarian skills, [Whirlwind].

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden dragons and those brilliant sword energies collided, and the golden and silver energies shot in all directions, tearing all kinds of black cracks in the sky and opening paths to the void. Tornadoes appeared one by one, and space was even being destabilized. Like a thin piece of paper, it seemed like it could break at any moment.

At this moment, Fei already dashed through the chaotic energy waves and appeared before [One Sword].

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

A series of metal-colliding noises sounded, and sparks appeared all over the place.

In just a split second, Fei and [One Sword] already attacked each other many times, and the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] and [One Sword]'s sword collided a lot. Their movements were so fast that other people couldn't even catch where they were.

Fei already decided to battle [One Sword] close-up so that his opponent couldn't shoot out his sword energies.

Out of the seven classes in Diablo World, barbarians were known to be the most proficient close-range combat masters. Their weapons, hands, elbows, kneels… almost everything on them and around them could be used to attack their opponents.

In this battle, Fei thoroughly demonstrated all that.

The war hammer that was about three meters long wasn't a burden. Instead, it was really useful in this close-range combat, and it unleashed a level of power that even Fei didn't anticipate. Every single strike was a crushing blow.

"Hahaha! Great! King of Chambord, do you think you are the only person who is good at close-range combat? You are seeking your death!"

[One Sword] laughed crazily as he grabbed onto the silver broadsword with both hands. His close-range combat sword techniques were proficient as well!

[One Sword]'s techniques were completely different from what were popular on the continent right now. To Fei, his techniques felt like they were from the Mythical Era. Rather than being very delicate and fancy, [One Sword]'s sword techniques were simple; they weren't fast, vicious, nor complicated. However, they were effective, and the power was stunning when these techniques were connected.

When the battle intensified, streaks of dark-red energies appeared on [One Sword], and that forbidden power enveloped him.

Chapter 698: Legendary Battle (2) (Part One)

This strong man glanced at these flatterers who were weak and pale, and he shouted, "You trash! What do you know? [One Sword] and this native are both Sun-Class Lords! They could kill you over 10,000 times with a finger! Our Ormond Empire was established on cultivation and power, and we look up to powerful masters. Although these natives are of low status, they are still brave and courageous. They are far better than you, just a bunch of wastes! Get the f*ck away! Stop trying to blind Xanchua His Highness!"

After being scolded by this fully armored strong man, these young men all looked angry and resentful. However, they still closed their mouths and remained silent. It was clear that they were afraid of this person and didn't dare to go against him.

"Hahaha! General Peith, don't get angry. It doesn't matter how strong they are, they are just a bunch of native low-lives. Since their bloodlines are inferior, they are destined to be slaves. What can they do? Flip this whole thing around? Now, the troops of the empire are already here, and it will just take a few seconds to conquer the Capital of Zenit. In fact, destroy a little town like this is too easy! Even if there are a few powerful natives, they can't do anything! Take [One Sword] for example, doesn't he have to put his tail between his legs and listen to my commands? Peith, you are still too anxious."

Even though this strong man's scolding disrupted the mood, this Prince Xanchua who looked unintelligent and useless didn't get angry. Surprisingly, he nodded and put away his joking attitude.

A confident and calculated expression flashed on his face which had an obscene smile, and it felt like he had everything under control.

After a short pause, Xanchua rested his chin on his palm and said impatiently, "Ok, stop making noises. Let's just watch this performance. These two dirty animals are putting on a great show! Haha, General Peith, aren't you stuck at peak Moon-Class for more than half a year now? Perhaps you will be able to get inspirations from this battle! After these two animals are both severely injured, we can capture them and interrogate them. By then, the Royal Library of Ormond will have two more Sun-Class Cultivation Techniques!"

The man named Peith was a little surprised, and a reassuring smile appeared on his face.

Then, he slowly nodded and replied in all seriousness, "Xanchua Your Highness, you were just playing. Eh, it is great that Your Highness hasn't been tricked and influenced by these pieces of trash. I, Peith, swore my loyalty to you!"

After he said that, he turned around and observed the battle between Fei and [One Sword] attentively. Gradually, it felt like he was mesmerized by the fight. To anyone who was below Sun-Class, this battle that was happening was a rare opportunity.

"They are just a bunch of dirty natives, and they are the prey in this game. They are even inferior to beasts. Eh… it is fun to tease these dirty animals from time to time."

Xanchua sat on his golden chair and didn't pay much attention to the legendary battle that was happening in front of him. He was a little bored, and he frowned and thought about something. Suddenly, he saw Old Aryang and Robbin who were surrounded by the soldiers on the deck of the Xuan'ge, and he noticed [The Throne of Chaos] that released a shiver energy sphere.

Gradually, his eyes brightened up.

That fierce battle was continuing in the sky.

Fei's power reached a peak, and the golden energy flames expanded in all directions. It felt like there was another Sun in the sky. On the war hammer that was in his hands, the golden runes turned red, and they grew even brighter. It seemed like the energies of these runes were about to dash out, and a profound and wild power was about to jump out of the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher]. Together with Fei's Hell Mode Barbarian strength, it made the king look like the reincarnation of a battle god!

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

Chapter 699: Legendary Battle (3) (Part One)

However, a loud, thunderous noise sounded to Fei's surprise.

Tink!

Fei sensed a very powerful repulsive force from the war hammer, and he almost lost his grip on it! He felt like his hammer didn't land on a pair of fists but instead a vast iron mountain!

It was a loud metal-colliding noise, and bright sparks appeared at the center of the collision.

It was bizarre!

After all, even Sun-Class Lords couldn't take a strike from the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher].

How was this happening?

Fei was stunned, and he took a more careful look.

In front of him, [One Sword] already completely lost his mind. His fists were smashed, and all the flesh on his fingers were evaporated. However, his bones weren't white like ordinary people. Instead, they were golden, and they were shiny under the moon. All the bones were perfect like art pieces.

It was clear that the golden bones were the key to blocking the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher].

Also, Fei noticed that the dark-red energy mist was coming out of the golden bones, enveloping [One Sword]'s body.

"Golden bones…"

A thought flashed through Fei's mind like lightning, and he instantly understood all this.

It must be these golden bones that helped [One Sword] improve so much in strength and realm!

Even though the golden bones were only lightly exposed after the flesh on [One Sword]'s fingers disappeared, Fei felt like he was very familiar to these golden bones! These golden bones instantly reminded Fei of that golden skeleton which was pinned onto the ground beside the Mythical Altar when Fei first entered that space. That golden skeleton somehow disappeared after Fei pulled out that mysterious half-broken pillar which nailed it there.

"When I first laid my eyes on it, I felt like there was still life energy inside the skeleton, and it didn't die completely. After I pulled out that stone pillar to purify the [Worldstone] on the Mythical Altar, it somehow disappeared and escaped from the Sky Castle. What… Could it be that [One Sword] was possessed by that golden skeleton? Wait… That golden skeleton was much larger than [One Sword]'s body…"

Many questions flashed through Fei's mind.

While he was wondering about these questions, [One Sword] started snickering.

"Hehehe…" As if he were a beast that couldn't sense pain, [One Sword] licked his lips and dashed at Fei. He punched at Fei, and the golden finger bones curled up and struck at the king with the forbidden power.

Cracks in space appeared, and the streaks of dark-red energy mist looked like dried blood. It seemed like it moved with the wind, and the intense hatred and destruction spirit energy contained in it were able to shatter people's souls.

Golden lights dashed out of Fei's eyes, and they looked like golden searchlights.

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

A series of shocking and terrifying metal-colliding noises sounded.

The flesh on [One Sword]'s arms were completely destroyed, and everything down from his shoulders was gone. The golden arm bones that were enveloped by the flesh were now exposed, and they looked shiny and demonic with more dark-red energy mist coming out of them.

This pair of arm bones were tough. They were able to directly collide with the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] without being broken.

As Fei and [One Sword] battled, more noises and sparks appeared.

"The real [One Sword] probably already died by now. It seems like this golden skeleton has its own mind, and it is in control of [One Sword]'s body. What is its goal? Why? Why did it direct this Xuan'ge of the Ormond Empire to my Chambord City?" Fei thought.

After considering the overall situation, Fei no longer tried to hold back anything.

Chapter 700: A Single Slip Can Cause a Lasting Sorrow (Part One)

Seeing this familiar face in front of him, Fei didn't know what to say for a moment.

"A single slip can cause a lasting sorrow…" [One Sword]'s face was filled with desolation and regret.

It didn't matter if it were half a year ago when [One Sword] was still himself or a moment ago when [One Sword] was that demonic general, Fei never saw this kind of expression on his face.

After a short pause, [One Sword] continued with a bitter smile on his face, "King of Chambord, do you still want to kill me to avenge Zenit?"

Fei was silent. Slowly, he looked up and asked, "The act of treason… Were you the one who decided on it? Or were you controlled by that golden skeleton…"

"Is there a difference?" [One Sword] looked up at the stars in the sky and said in regret, "Right now, the entire empire knows that the Chaos Era is here, and I, [One Sword], am the biggest traitor. I led the united troops that are mainly made up of the Leon Empire and the Ormond Empire and charged into the territory of Zenit, surrounding St. Petersburg. This is already a fact, and the intelligence report at the Military Headquarters of Zenit already has all this on file. Do you think people will believe the story about the golden skeleton?"

Fei's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and he nodded and said, "I believe you."

[One Sword] was a bit surprised, and he suddenly relaxed as well as he looked at Fei.

With a heart-warming smile, he said, "I didn't expect that you, King of Chambord, would be the last person who would believe me… I regret it. I shouldn't have been greedy and sign the agreement with that mysterious golden skeleton. I shouldn't have traded my soul for great power!"

"… Did you know? When I went to the Spartax Battle Zone with Crown Prince Arshavin, I paid attention to all information involving you. When I learned that you advanced into Moon-Class, and your cultivation speed was that fast, I was still blocked by the threshold and couldn't make a breakthrough. That feeling was worse than dying…"

"… I started practicing sword techniques when I was able to grasp onto a wooden sword. When the other kids were being spoiled by their parents and playing with their friends, I practiced the sword techniques day and night. When I was growing up, the only thing that was by my side was my sword. I thought I was able to be like Emperor Yassin and say that [One Sword] is inferior to no one. For a long time, I was able to say such a thing amongst the young generation. However, I met you during the competition at St. Petersburg half a year ago. My glory ended."

Right now, the flesh on [One Sword]'s both arms were all gone, and blood continued to drip down, staining his fancy magic armor. However, it seemed like he didn't notice it.

Fei looked at him and said, "Actually, I met you before the competition at St. Petersburg."

"Huh?"

"One year ago, we met at the peak of the east mountain of Chambord. During the canonization ceremony, you appeared and helped Elder Princess Tanasha. That was when we met."

"You are right. I did come to Chambord once before. However, I didn't even pay attention to you at the time, and I didn't even notice you. In just about a year, you became the biggest obstacle in my cultivation path and the darkest shadow on my mind…"

As [One Sword] said that, his expression turned even more bitter.

After a short pause, he murmured, "From the news that I got in this half a year, I knew that there is no way for me to catch up even if I practice everyday and devote my life. In fact, even if I do that, the distance between us will only get bigger and bigger. I felt weak and powerless. When I was desperate, I met that terrifying golden skeleton. In front of the temptation of power, I made the biggest mistake of my life… I know what I did these past few days. Even though I got supreme power, I wasn't able to control myself. The consequence of my mistake is really unrecoverable.
