Hail the King

Chapter 835: Trap (Part One)

“Hehehe, King of Chambord, you finally came? I have been waiting for you.” This genial priest who suddenly appeared looked at Fei with a smile on his face as if they were old acquaintances.

“You know me? Waiting for me? Who are you?” Fei asked as he quietly hid that green magic gem into the center of his left palm. Right now, he was stunned by this genial old man.

This old priest’s strength was on another level; Fei was only able to discover him after he got within 100 meters of the king. Therefore, this old man was at least a top-tier Rising Sun Lord.

According to the assignments of the priests in the Holy Church, the most powerful priest in the Leon Empire should be at the peak Full Moon Realm. There shouldn’t be a priest at the Sun-Class Realm in the region.

Also, even though this white-haired priest looked genial and kind, Fei felt like something was off about him, and he detected an extremely dangerous sensation.

“Hahaha! Little Guy, you are the one who came into my territory, and you are asking me about my identity?” The old priest walked forward slowly and lightly caressed the rows of wooden benches with his dry hands. Then, he looked up with mystical light in his eyes, and he continued with a strange smile on his face, “Before four days ago, everyone in Gerland City called me Honorable John. I was a servant of the gods, and I was in charge of this place.”

“Before four days ago? What about now?” Fei slowly unleashed his strength and became alerted.

“Now? Hahaha! Now?” Bloody light shined in this old priest’s eyes, and he raised his head and laughed, “Now, I’m a god! A god who is in control of everything!”

“It is you?” Fei instantly understood the situation.

The king dashed forward and turned into a beam of light. At the same time, he had already used [Whirlwind] and shot out one golden sword energy dragon. While this golden sword energy dragon attacked this old priest, Fei took out a silver scroll and opened it as he moved closer to him.

Then, the flashing tadpole-like godly runes flew out of the [God Imprisonment Scroll] and dashed toward the old priest.

Fei was familiar with the bloody-red light inside this old priest’s eyes; the same kind of red light and energy fluctuations appeared in the dark eye sockets of that golden skeleton!

It was clear that this old priest named John was possessed by that golden skeleton, just as [One Sword] had.

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

Creepy and chilling laughter came out the white-haired priest’s mouth. While facing the terrifying and ruthless attacks coming from Fei, the strange look on his face grew even brighter, making his face have even more wrinkles and seem like a withering flower. He looked like he was neither going to dodge nor defend.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!

A series of explosions sounded abruptly.

When the golden sword energy dragon created by [Whirlwind] was about one meter away from the white-haired priest, a white, crystal-like light screen suddenly appeared from the ground and blocked the strike. Even though Fei’s golden sword energy dragon was powerful enough to shatter mountains, it only created a series of ripples and left a dragon-shaped dent in the crystal wall, unable to break it.

This crystal wall also blocked the godly runes released from the [God Imprisonment Scroll], and they weren’t able to lock onto their target. They formed a silver light prison after getting through the crystal wall, but no one was inside this prison.

In the next moment. Fei’s third attack came.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!

Chapter 835: Trap (Part Two)

Fei’s powerful punches smashed into the crystal wall, and each blow was enough to explode a Sun-Class Lord who just entered this realm. However, the crystal wall wasn’t harmed. Some fine cracks would appear on it, but as a bright white light suddenly shone in the hall of this church, the cracks were all gone. The crystal wall returned to its old, intact form.

“Hahaha! It is no use! Stop struggling! I spent four days and prepared the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] just for you! It isn’t something that you can break! King of Chambord! Hahahaha! It is all over! Your good luck can’t continue forever.”

As the old priest laughed, and his long white hair fluttered in the air even without the wind. Two red fires burned in his deep eye sockets, replacing his eyes. The two flames danced crazily, suffocating Fei a little as if they were demons.

At this moment, a mystical and terrifying change occurred.

Streaks of white lines appeared on the smooth, mirror-like floor, and they started to grow and extend. Soon after, the entire floor, the walls, the ceiling, the stone pillars, the wooden benches, the god statues…

In the end, the white lines and energy paths were everywhere in the church; even the candle holders on the walls and the soft candles had gentle silver light flashing on them.

Then, a vast, unimaginable energy slowly floated up like a white rose that was quietly blooming. The beautiful yet lethal white light soon filled the entire church.

It was a huge and incredibly complex god-tier magic array.

The number of magic paths and turns in the magic array was comparable to the stars in the sky, and Fei got a little headache when he tried to observe.

Right now, Fei was standing at the middle of the magic array.

Since all of these happened so fast, even Fei couldn’t react in time.

It was clear that all of this was planned, just waiting for Fei to get to the center of the array. Fei suspected that the magic array was already initiated when he entered this church, and this white-haired priest, which was the golden skeleton, showed himself and engaged in a conversation with him just to distract him. All of that was done to ensure the successful activation of this powerful array so that he would be locked inside.

This was a trap which was set up long ago.

“Damn it! Why is this happening? Could it be that Buckingham lied to me?” This thought flashed in Fei’s mind, and he instantly rejected it.

What they went through together at the bottom of the sea made Fei trust this former enemy a lot. He knew that Buckingham would never betray him.

“It seems like this golden skeleton used Buckingham. This damn skeleton! He knows about everything that had happened in the last while. He must know that I’m after him, and he designed this trap for me… He is a cunning and terrifying opponent. I was too careless this time,” Fei thought to himself and roughly guessed his current situation.

However, he didn’t have time and energy to dwell on this meaning topic since it already occurred. His top priority right now was to get out of this magic array that was named [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace].

Fei quickly calmed down, and he started to study the white line and energy paths carefully. He wanted to use his vast magic array knowledge to find some weaknesses in this god-tier magic array. If he could do that, he would have a way to break out.

At this moment, something shocking happened.
