Hail the King

“You guys are from the Holy Church as well? Why are you trying to kill the King of Chambord?”

Jessie landed back on the ground and turned his body. The grasses under his feet and around him broke off and were shattered; this happened because Jessie transferred that man’s energy in his body into the ground.

Although that man tried his best to hide his energy, Jessie was a devoted priest and instantly recognized the holy power; he was very sensitive to it.

“Hahaha, since you recognized this, then I can’t let you go,” that man laughed loudly and ripped the cloak off his body, revealing the bright silver armor underneath. It was an armor made by the Holy Church; a red cross could be clearly seen on it.

This Holy Knight looked like he was in his 40s, but his deep and sorrow eyes told everyone that he was way older than that. His body was big, and his face was in a square shape. He had a thick beard, and his facial features made him look like someone who was righteous. However, the viciousness that was in his eyes told Fei that this Holy Knight wasn’t someone who was dependable.

“You are young and already have the strength of a top-tier Half Moon Elite. Also, you even mastered the tough technique, [Wings of Bless]. You are indeed a genius. However, you just had to throw yourself into this. I wanted to let you go, but it seems like that isn’t going to happen,” that man stared at Jessie and said sympathetically, “Young man, tell me which shrine you are from. After you die, I will send your ashes to your shrine. Then, your family could still be protected by the Holy Church!”

He sounded so sure that it felt like he was staring at a dead man.

“Black-Cloth Shrine, Jessie.” The young priest unleashed all his holy power, and an area of several kilometers around him was lit up as if it was daytime. His silver wings fluttered in the sky, and he didn’t show any signs of fear.

“Huh? What did you say? Black-Cloth Shrine?” that man laughed after a short moment of pause, “Black-Cloth Shrine finally got itself a talented genius? Haha, great! I was feeling bad for destroying a genius like you, but now I’m very comfortable. Haha, a shrine like Black-Cloth should have disappeared a long time ago! Haha, after I kill you, I will send you head to that old Batistuta…… I want to see his desperate expression after seeing that the most talented young man in his shrine is dead!”

As this person laughed, dashes of silver white energy dispersed into the area as if something had pre-drew all these patterns.

Not only this powerful leader, but the three people who were standing to the left, right, and behind of the group ripped their cloaks and revealed their silver armors with red crosses on them. Then, dashes of energy dispersed into the area from under their feet

The white energies dashed across the grasses, looking like white poisonous snakes.

At the same time, they looked like the marks left on the ground by a huge invisible pen.

The scene was really strange.

“This is [Templar Battle Seal]!!! We need to leave here! Once the four groups of silver energies combine, they will form the [Templar Battle Seal], and we will be locked inside it forever!” Jessie screamed instantly; he knew how terrifying the [Templar Battle Seal] was going to be when four Moon-Class Elites cast it.

However, Fei didn’t move; it felt like he was thinking about a tough question.

Since Fei didn’t move, people like Torres and Angela also didn’t move.

Just in that split second, the four groups of silver energies shone even brighter, and a layer of silver holy sphere appeared. Like a half sphere, it covered an area of several square kilometers, and it was insanely firm and stable, giving off a shocking aura.

“Haha, too late! Once the [Templar Battle Seal] is placed, only Sun-Class Lords could get through,” that Holy Knight laughed as he walked closer. A chilly light appeared in his eyes as he continued, “Could it be that the King of Chambord is the [God’s Favorite Child] of this fallen shrine? Damn, he is good at hiding. Unfortunately, we discovered it beforehand! Before we kill him, we will kill you first, the young man from Black-Cloth Shrine!”

Whoosh!

Before he finished talking, he suddenly made his move. Like a laser beam, he suddenly got close to Jessie.

He was indeed powerful; his body created a series of air-piercing noises on its own when he used techniques.

Whoosh!

Jessie fluttered his wings and went up for the battle.

Their close-range combat took place 10 meters above the ground, and their bodies continued to move around rapidly as they attacked and defended.

The movements of their bodies were almost reaching the speed of light, and it was hard for the naked eyes to capture them, especially when the viewers were weak, such as Louise, Pato, and Brand.

They felt like there were a ton of afterimages in their visions and couldn’t figure out what was real. They would sometimes scream after seeing that one party was shattered by another party before realizing that only afterimages were shattered.

The three kids had never seen any top-tier masters battle, so they were nervous seeing this fascinating battle up-close.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a series of explosion sounded, there was a sudden groaning noise.

The two people who were fighting each other in a close range separated at this moment.

The silver holy power continued to disperse into the area.

Jessie’s [Wings of Bless] were on the verge of collapse, there was a streak of blood sliding down his lips, and his black robe was torn apart, revealing the white leather armor underneath.

There was a deep palm mark on the chest of that armor.

Jessie lost!

As a top-tier Half Moon Elite, he only lasted about one minute before losing the fight.

From the look of it, this Holy Knight was at least a top-tier Full Moon Elite, if not only a step away from the realm of peak Full Moon Elite.

“Little guy, your performance is over. Die!”

After one successful strike, a murderous spirit appeared in that Holy Knight’s eyes. He dashed down like a hawk, and his strike was aimed at Jessie’s forehead.

The severely injured young priest couldn’t fight against it.

The Grim Reaper was sneering!

At this moment, Fei, who had been quietly thinking about something, made his move as if he thought everything through.

A silver fist mark dashed across the sky.

Boom!!!!!!

The fist mark collided with that Holy Knight, stopping him from killing Jessie.

Then, Alan quickly ran over to help Jessie to stand up.

That Holy Knight was knocked back and landed 20 meters away from them.

He looked at Fei and laughed, “King of Chambord! Your strength has increased! Even though your strength is higher than the level documented in the report, you are still no match for me!”

However, who knew that Fei completely ignored this powerful master. Instead, Fei’s eyes went past this man and landed on that figure who looked sick and had unstable energy.

“I think I know who you are. Damn…… it is unexpected. Why? You still want to hide your identity?” Fei asked.

Hua!

After a short moment of silence, the only person who didn’t take off his disguise finally ripped his cloak off and revealed his identity.

His hair was white and loose, his robe was old but patched up neatly, and he was wearing a pair of shoes made from cloth and straws.

The familiar face looked even older as if time passed by him a lot faster. In half a year, it felt like he aged more than a dozen years; a ton more wrinkles could be seen on his face.

His eyes that should be filled with wisdom was now filled with viciousness, and his left chest was concaved in horrifyingly as if someone punched into his heart.

A person who should be dead appeared in front of Fei.

Priest Balesi, the Moon-Class Elite who got his left chest penetrated by the spells of Fei’s necromancer character, didn’t die!

“Hehe, King of Chambord, aren’t you surprised? You used your evil spells and penetrated my left chest; are you wondering why I’m still alive?” Balesi walked to the Holy Knight and said to Fei with hatred in his eyes, “This is unexpected, right?”

Fei laughed; his laughter people feel like beating him up.

“What are you talking about? What? Are you hallucinating or something?” Fei replied.

“Why would I admit that I was the Undead Mage who ambushed you?” Fei thought to himself. Even though he was shocked and wondered why Balesi didn’t die, he wouldn’t admit that he knew what had happened.
