Hail the King

Chapter 890: Before the Expedition (Part One)

This Worldstone of Hell Mode was similar to the Worldstones that Fei got from Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode in terms of shape, but its size was much larger. Its radius was more than half a meter, and the sky-blue energy and blood-red energy rolled and tumbled inside it. It should be in the sky-blue color, but the red, evil power of hell existed in it. Just as Fei expected, this Worldstone was also stained by evil.

Fei didn’t crush this Worldstone like what the Archangel had asked. Instead, he stored it in his storage ring.

The energy contained in the Hell Mode Worldstone was terrifying, far exceeding the energy level of the Worldstones from Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode. According to the records on Diablo Continent, the energy inside this Worldstone could recreate another world! It was almost limitless!

This Worldstone was a precious treasure without a doubt.

Fei wandered around the [Worldstone Chamber] and cleaned up again. After getting everything that was valuable, the familiar yet cold and mysterious voice sounded by his ears when he was about to exit the game.

“Congratulations, Adventurer. As a reward for passing the game as a Barbarian, you will receive the [Throne of Destruction] as a place that you can summon. All the laws of power inside the [Throne of Destruction] can be used by you to suppress your enemies.”

…

Fei was still busy in the following days.

There were about two months before the agreed date between Fei and Emperor Yassin; the king was going to lead an expedition to the Anji Empire. Before that journey, he stayed in Chambord and kept himself busy.

During the day, Fei would spend time with his two queens, teach the students and soldiers in Chambord’s Civil and Military University, and occasionally meet with high-level officials such as Head Minister Bast and Military Leader Brook to talk about the urgent matters and the future growth of the kingdom.

Except for these things, Fei would spend some time on the [Mythical Altar] inside the godly mountain in [Sky City], using the power of the altar to purify the Hell Mode Worldstone continuously.

This was also a process of injecting energy into [Sky Castle].

After receiving more energy, more of [Sky Castle]’s power was revealed. In the clear pond in front of the godly throne in the [Godly King Palace], one more golden lotus plant grew out. This golden lotus plant represented [Circulation], and the nine blooming golden lotus flowers on this plant controlled nine functions such as energy, air, plants, and water.

Fei invested some of his time into it and clearly understood how to use these functions.

After making the necessary adjustments, the power of [Sky Castle] was gradually showcased, becoming a firm city that about 50,000 people could live in.

This was great news to Fei.

After careful consideration and thinking back to the catastrophe that occurred when the Ormond Empire attacked the Chambord Kingdom last time, the king finally made the decision and was prepared to open [Sky Castle] to the citizens of Chambord.

After a series of detailed discussions, some high-level officials and original residents of Chambord gradually moved into [Sky Castle] after strict inspection and review. Without a doubt, only a fortress like [Sky Castle] could protect the ordinary people in this chaotic era.

Chapter 890: Before the Expedition (Part Two)

For the warriors of Chambord, the natural elements were immense in [Sky Castle], and the laws of nature were more apparent here. Cultivating in [Sky Castle] for a day was equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for ten days. Therefore, moving the warriors of Chambord to [Sky Castle] would significantly increase the kingdom’s strength.

At night, after the two queens fell asleep, Fei entered Diablo World to kill monsters and level up, trying his best to increase his strength.

The events on the Azeroth Continent were happening at a fast pace, giving Fei a sense of urgency and danger; he didn’t dare to relax at all.

Time passed by quickly, and Chambord entered a stage of rapid and explosive growth.

In all this busyness, two months quickly passed by.

When Fei was in Diablo World, he tried to increase the level of his Paladin character crazily. With the leveling-up experience of his Barbarian character and the high strength of his Paladin character, Fei pushed his Paladin character to Hell Mode level 100 after 60 days, passing Diablo World as a Paladin. This was almost unimaginable.

It was clear that this was a quick run.

Since his objectives were leveling-up and passing the game, he didn’t pay much attention to the details like how he did to his Barbarian character. He didn’t carefully understand the power of the Paladin and didn’t fully comprehend this class, and he didn’t find ancient combat techniques in [Demon King’s Sword] that could be merged with the skills of the Paladin to develop this class further.

Therefore, Fei’s Paladin character was equivalent to a peak Burning Sun Lord who mastered all the Paladin’s skills in Diablo World.

Creating a peak Burning Sun Lord in 60 days? If others learned about Fei’s growth speed, they would lose their minds.

It was worth mentioning that Fei’s luck was good, and he collected the [Griswold’s Legacy] Item Set which suited his Paladin character during this ‘quick run’.

This was a set of items that the great Paladin Griswold had used in battle before. In history, Griswold was a legendary Paladin who was exceptionally powerful and virtuous. His stories and honor were passed around the entire Diablo Continent.

Unfortunately, this mighty Paladin was killed by the evil power of a lord of hell, and his corpse was controlled by the evil energy and turned into an incarnation of evil. This story was sad and pitiful.

[Griswold’s Legacy] had four components, and they were a corona, a shield, armor, and a caduceus. It was heard that angels blessed each item in the set, and Griswold’s holy will and energy would instill power in the user of this item set. Although it wasn’t as famous as the [Immortal King] Item Set, it was a great item set for a Paladin.

With this item set, Fei could switch to Paladin Mode and potentially challenge a demi-god.

Except for that, Fei also got three more Worldstones that were from Normal Mode, Nightmare Mode, and Hell Mode; they were invaluable treasures.

Although they were all stained, the energy contained in them was enough to make gods go crazy. Therefore, the king carefully stored these three Worldstones for now.

The only thing that disappointed Fei was that the reward which he was anticipating didn’t appear after he passed Diablo World as the Paladin. He was hoping that he would get a clue as to what he could do to increase his strength after passing Diablo World, but the cold and mysterious voice didn’t say anything.

Less than a month was left until the date that Fei and Emperor Yassin had agreed upon. Before leading an expedition to the Anji Empire, Fei focused on Assassin Mode and started leveling-up his Assassin character.
