Hail the King

“What? Never seen it before? How?” Fei was deeply disappointed by this answer, and he couldn’t think straight for a moment.

Hazel Bank took another look at Fei and seemed to have realized that this structure was significant to this King. After he gave it more thoughts, he added, “Your Majesty, although I have entered the Mythical Palace three times, I haven’t even covered one-twentieth of the total area. Perhaps the altar you are talking about is in other regions. After all, you said that its style is very similar to the buildings in the Mythical Palace.”

“Oh? I see,” Fei said as hope restored in his mind. He asked, “You haven’t even gone through the entire Mythical Palace?”

The Undead Mage laughed and replied, “Of course. Perhaps the ten Sun-Class Lords who joined forces 500 years ago had been through the entire Mythical Palace. Anyone who is below the Sun-Class couldn’t have done it; it is too dangerous in there. Even Full Moon Elites had died in there.”

Fei nodded and got a new understanding of the dangers hidden in the Mythical Palace.

However, Fei’s wasn’t afraid. It didn’t matter how dangerous it was; he had to find the Mythical Altar. That was the only way that he could save Angela and Elena. Perhaps the mysterious map he got from Soros’ Merchant Group could be of help.

“Eh, since this is the case, I will join you guys and explore the Mythical Palace two days later,” Fei decided and didn’t hide his intent, “I’m looking for that altar; it is very important to me.”

“Ok, since Your Majesty want to go there, I could be your guide.” Hazel Bank quickly got into character; he was placing Fei’s safety and potential growth before everything else.

To be honest, he didn’t want Fei to go. After all, it was too dangerous in there, and even Sun-Class Lords might even die.

However, after he saw the decisiveness on Fei’s face, he knew that he couldn’t stop him. On the second thought, he knew that an excellent sailor couldn’t be trained on a calm lake; if this young King were going to face off the mammoth-like Holy Church, he would need to get used to danger. All of these experiences were necessary for fast growth.

What this Undead Mage didn’t know was that Fei had been through too many dangerous situations in Diablo World; this young man was pretty much dancing on the edge of a blade all the time. If the injuries in Diablo World were to be carried into the real world, scars would have covered Fei’s entire body.

“Great! Now that is done, let me check your wounds. I might be of help,” Fei said as he switched back to Necromancer Mode. Although a cultivator should never let people who he or she just met inject their energies into his or her body, Hazel Bank trusted Fei enough to let him send dashes of the Death Energy into his body.

The snake-like Death Energy flowed into Hazel Bank’s body, and Fei soon made a discovery.

“Huh? Just like I suspected……”

As the Death Energy traveled in the energy connections and channels in Hazel Bank’s body, Fei closed his eyes and sensed the terrible condition this Undead Mage was in.

Although Hazel Bank was cultivating the Undead Energy, there were clouds of Holy Power inside his body. Like corrosive poison, these clouds of Holy Power had been eating away Hazel Bank life energy and flesh. These clouds of Holy Power were left in his body by all the masters of the Holy Church who he battled, and they had almost taken over!

The Undead Energy and the Holy Power; these two opposite forces battled in Hazel Bank’s body viciously, and this battle continued to destroy the surroundings.

This terrible condition was the reason for Hazel Bank’s drop in strength.

If this trend continued, the Undead Mage’s strength would decrease even further, and his lifespan might drop as well.

“Since this is the case, it is easy. Hehe, be gone!” Fei shouted after he figured out the situation. The grey mist flowed out of his pores, and the supreme Death Energy started to devour the residual Holy Power inside Hazel Bank’s body.

The Death Energy was one of the most powerful energy in this world, and it was the Holy Power’s kryptonite. Even though Priest Balesi was a Moon-Class Elite and Fei was only a Six-Star Necromancer a few months back, Fei was still able to seize the victory. Therefore, although the Holy Power in Hazel Bank’s body was powerful, it wasn’t being controlled by a master, so it was defenseless against Fei’s Death Energy.

Fei tried his best not to harm this Undead Mage’s body while destroying the residual Holy Power in his body. Even though he was careful and slow, the Holy Power that had bothered Hazel Bank for hundreds of years were all eliminated in about 15 minutes.

Arthur who was carefully observing the situation with a bottle of wine in his hands was stunned. Hazel Bank created him, so he was able to sense the state that Hazel Bank was in. As he looked at Fei who thoroughly cleansed Hazel Bank’s body from more than 100 years of torture, Arthur felt like he wasted his 135 years on this continent; all of the shocks he experienced before couldn’t be compared with what happened tonight. He felt like this King could solve all the problems in the world.

“Hahaha! Since I already helped you to this degree, let me make it even better!”

Fei laughed as he chugged down a bottle of [Mana Potion]. The mana of his Necromancer Character was refilled, and he used all of his Death Energy to strengthen Hazel Bank’s body.

This Death Energy went through Hazel Bank’s body and started to heal the broke energy connections and channels. To Hazel Bank who cultivated the Undead Energy, this Death Energy from Fei was the best supplement he could wish for. With the assistance from this energy, all of the injuries in his body were recovering rapidly.

Compared with getting rid of the Holy Power, this process required more attention to details. Fei paid a lot more attention, and it used a ton of his Spirit Energy; soon, he was sweating buckets. However, the benefit of cultivating Spirit Energy was demonstrated as well. He was able to control his Death Energy to a granular level and carefully heal Hazel Bank up.

Although it looked easy, only Fei knew how dangerous it was.

After one hour, Fei finally stopped with the Death Energy. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled. He looked exhausted, but his expression was joyous. He laughed and said, “Haha! Done!”

A thrilled expression appeared on Hazel Bank’s face instantly.

In the next second, the cloud around Death Ancient City moved as if an invisible pair of hands was controlling them. They all rushed towards Death Ancient City, and many dashes of black mist rushed into the palace from all places such as streets, buildings, and defense walls. Hazel Bank’s body devoured them all, and his strength started to increase.

This unexpected phenomenon surprised all the soldiers of Zenit.

Magic Princess Cindy who already rested and [Silver-Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes who was patrolling with the soldiers all rushed to the palace alongside other Star-level Warriors. Fei sensed their arrival and went to the gate of the palace to stop them. He switched to Barbarian Mode and enveloped this palace using the silver energy. Afterward, he signaled the people and told them that everything was alright.

He wasn’t sure if there were spies from other parties among the soldiers, and he didn’t want to expose Hazel Bank to others yet. If this information were gathered by someone else and was used against him, it would be a bad situation.

After seeing Fei’s signal, everyone backed off with different shocking expressions on their faces.

Then, Fei turned around and sensed the energy surge in the palace. After the hidden injuries in Hazel Bank’s body were healed, the drop in this Undead Mage’s strength was rebounding at an insane speed. The energy Hazel Bank got back was so strong that Fei who was now a Nightmare Mode Level 16 Barbarian felt tiny and weak.
