176: Chapter 176 AnomalyAfter being upgraded to +10, the ”Kings Majesty” skill completely transformed into a perfect control skill.

Originally, as a Mythical Rank skill, it could inflict a 1-minute fear status on enemies within a 100-meter radius, which was already an absurd effect, but it was limited by the enemy’s status resistance.

If the resistance was high, the duration would be shortened, and for human NPCs, one had to enter combat status for it to take effect, making it impossible to use directly in the early stages.

After upgrading to +10, all these restrictions disappeared; regardless of how high the enemy’s resistance was or whether they were human NPCs, it could be cast freely.

What’s even more rare is that it has a greater advantage than the current strongest control skill, ”Dragons Fear”: the targets of ”Dragons Fear” are restricted by the caster’s level and attributes, whereas with the +10 ”Kings Majesty”, as long as the enemy does not have complete immunity to fear effects, it ignores the attributes of both sides and will definitely inflict the fear status.

”Very good.”

Fu Hao looked at all the targets before him—hundreds of guard knights, and even the core target, the Crown Prince, all had icons representing the fear status floating above their heads, and he nodded in satisfaction.

The accident he was most worried about was the control skill failing against the Transfer Demon King, causing the target to escape, but fortunately, that did not happen.

Among the hidden skills Fu Hao had collected, there were already tracking skills, and after upgrading to +10, even if he temporarily lost the target, he could still lock onto the Transfer Demon King’s trail.

But he knew very well that even if he could track him, it was impossible to monitor 24/7 whether the opponent was approaching the World Tree; he had to take him down completely right here.

Once his identity was exposed, although the Transfer Demon King would find it difficult to transfer the World Tree to the deepest part of the Demon World Hell again, there was no guarantee he didn’t have other hidden methods—such as sacrificing a large army to instantly boost his power.

Moreover, this was the capital of the Kalis Empire, where the Transfer Demon King had entrenched himself for nearly a decade; the planting of the World Tree had to be foolproof.

Besides ensuring the safety of the World Tree, Fu Hao had two major reasons not to let the Transfer Demon King go:

’The 20% attribute boost and the Transfer Authority, they must not be missed.’

Although after transmigrating to this otherworld, the attribute bonus effects of Fu Hao’s original titles had dissipated with the old world, the specific achievement attribute boost effects attached to titles like ”Master of Dungeons” and ”First Hero” still remained.

Relying on the effect of the First Hero, he could obtain a 20% attribute boost after killing a Demon King—this point alone was enough to make him determined to get any Demon King, let alone a top-tier target like the Transfer Demon King.

And the Transfer Authority was an even more covetable hidden item.

Fu Hao learned from his experience participating in the kill of the Envy Demon King that if a player made a substantial contribution to the kill of an NPC Demon King, they could seize its exclusive authority.

In this otherworld where flight methods were restricted and conventional methods could not perform ultra-long-distance Teleportation, the Transfer Authority could be called a bug-level skill.

Although Fu Hao already had remote movement methods unimaginable to others, such as Little Gold and the +10 teleportation gem, there were still many inconveniences: the teleportation gem required recording coordinates at the target location first, and while Little Gold could move at high speeds, it belonged to physical flight rather than Teleportation, and as a super-tier giant creature, its travel itself carried many restrictions.

In contrast, the Transfer Authority, which allowed directional Teleportation without needing to record coordinates, was enough to make his life in ”otherworld” several times more convenient.

Such absurd performance must come at a high price, but Fu Hao had already thought of a countermeasure—the core hidden item he had locked onto since level 1 was enough to offset this cost.

Moreover, the Transfer Authority could also be used to explore areas that could not be reached by conventional means, such as the Golden Dragon clan’s mausoleum, which was crucial for the Dragon Legion plan.

Although using the newly acquired ”Task Assistant” skill might also help find the mausoleum, time waits for no one—this otherworld only had two months left of existence, so having an extra route was always safer.

”Little Gold, don’t use Golden Breath, use lightning magic to attack. Ignore the others, just hit that Crown Prince.”

Fu Hao gave precise instructions. The opponent was a high-ranking Demon King; without the assistance of Holy Power, even Little Gold would find it hard to kill him in one hit, but the guard knights were innocent human NPCs.

Although the NPCs of the Kalis Empire often had imperial supremacist tendencies and were accustomed to bullying other countries, slaughtering them without cause would only accumulate infamy and add unnecessary trouble to collecting hidden items.

’If I use lightning magic, it will probably take about six hits, right? There’s enough time.’

Fu Hao calculated quickly in his mind: combining Little Gold’s current attributes, the average resistance of a high-ranking Demon King, and the power of lightning magic, he conservatively estimated that it would take six hits to kill him.

Little Gold’s lightning magic was not only powerful, but its cooldown was also as short as 4 seconds, so even if the calculation was wrong, it would be more than enough to finish off the target before the 1-minute fear status ended.

The facts were just as he expected—

[Summoned Beast ’Golden Dragon’ has killed the enemy.]

A bolt of lightning struck from the clear sky without warning, like the embodiment of a ”bolt from the blue,” accurately hitting the Transfer Demon King who was disguised as the Crown Prince. Fu Hao was about to order a pursuit, but was stunned by the system prompt before him:

”One hit?”

The Transfer Demon King was actually killed in one hit by Little Gold’s lightning magic. Did he underestimate Little Gold, or overestimate the Transfer Demon King? Before he could sort out his thoughts, even more bizarre prompts followed one after another:

[Kalis Empire Crown Prince ’Mein Kalis’ has been killed.]

[Infamy increased by 1000 points.]

[Entered into a hostile relationship with the Kalis Empire.]

[Will be pursued by the Kalis Empire; if captured by the military, you will be imprisoned.]

[Became the first player to kill a royal family member.]

[Obtained the title ’Royal Killer’.]

A series of incomprehensible prompts left Fu Hao frozen in place—this was clearly the Transfer Demon King he killed, so why did the system judge it as the Crown Prince?

He guessed that perhaps the Demon King’s disguise had not been removed, leading to a judgment error, and held his breath waiting for subsequent prompts, but the expected ”Transfer Demon King kill reward,” ”attribute boost,” and ”Transfer Authority acquisition” prompts were slow to appear.

Time ticked away, and a new prompt finally popped up, but it was far from his expectations:

[Enemy’s fear status has been removed.]

[Enemy’s fear status has been removed.]

[Enemy’s fear status has been removed.]

...

”Avenge His Highness the Crown Prince!”

”Show the enemies of the Kalis Empire what we’re made of!”

”Even if we die, we must kill this dragon before us!”

The 1-minute fear status ended, and the guard knights, with bloodshot eyes, charged at Little Gold and Fu Hao like madmen.

Although they knew that mortals were no match for a super-tier existence, they still charged without hesitation—although Crown Prince Mein had not yet ascended the throne, he was already the pillar of the Empire; for them, who had failed to protect him, only fighting to the death could wash away their shame.

”...Little Gold, retreat.”

Fu Hao watched the surging Knight Order and decisively ordered a retreat.

With Little Gold’s strength, even using basic area-of-effect magic could easily wipe out these knights, but that would only cause his infamy to skyrocket.

Although he had many ways to lower his infamy, there was no need to waste time here. Rather than getting entangled, it was better to leave first.
