Hail the King

Chapter 968: Is He Already A Man Who Makes Demons Flee? (Part One)

In the blink of an eye, a series of stone-breaking noises sounded, and the endless black mist quickly dispersed into the air as if someone threw ink droplets into a bowl of clean water. The thick evil sensation was suffocating.

The crack on the giant sealed egg grew even bigger! It was already 5,000 meters long and more than 1,000 meters wide!

More and more black mist rushed out of the egg through the crack like lava shooting out of an erupting volcano.

“Human, you will pay for your actions!”

An angry roar sounded from the crack, and two red light beams pierced the screen-like black mist, looking like two sharp swords.

Then, through the thick black mist, Fei vaguely saw a giant figure that was more than 1,000 meters tall crawling out of the crack. Those two red light beams were shot out of its eyes!

“According to the historical records, the 72 demons of Hell were the most vicious and cruel masters in the Mythical Era, and they easily held grudges and wouldn’t stop unless they took revenge. Also, they frequently devoured people’s souls as treats. Among the 72 demons, the most powerful few had reached the True God Realm. I wonder which demon this one is? However, judging from the size of this giant sealed egg, this demon of Hell should be closer to the bottom of the 72 demons in terms of strength. After being sealed for thousands of years, how much of its strength is left?”

Right now, Fei suddenly wasn’t as nervous as before, and he continuously thought back to the legends about the demons of Hell, trying to find their weaknesses to obtain the upper hand in the upcoming battle.

This demon that was more than 1,000 meters tall finally got out of the giant sealed egg.

Although the space was already filled with black evil mist, Fei’s eyes were still as sharp as lightning. After he concentrated his energy into his eyes, he could see the surroundings clearly. This giant demon had the body of a leopard but the head of a bull; two huge horns could be seen on its forehead. While it breathed through its bloody mouth, clouds of highly corrosive black mist gushed out.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

It seemed like this sealed space was even being corroded by this black mist, and it was going to shatter at any time.

This demon’s eyes were completely red, and they didn’t have irises or pupils. Therefore, its eyes looked like the openings on two volcanos that were about to erupt. It was evident that terrifying power was hidden in this demon.

Perhaps it was due to the long time that it was sealed inside the giant egg, this demon looked thin and malnourished. Its body was covered by long black hair, and some green moss could be seen on its fur as well. Some parts of its skin already turned to stone, and stone pieces fell off every time it moved.

“Hahaha! It has been 1,000 years! 1,000 years! I finally regained my freedom! I smell freedom! I also smell the blood of humans! It sure brings back memories! Hahaha! Damn humans! You poor souls! Start praying!” this demon spoke.

It was speaking the language that was used across the continent during the Mythical Era. However, this demon wasn’t too fluent; it seemed like it wasn’t used to speaking after not saying anything for 1,000 years.

Fei held onto his breath and concentrated, instantly entering the battle mode. With all irrelevant thoughts behind him, he got battle-hungry.

To his surprise, this demon didn’t attack right away as he expected. Like a giant spider crawling on the surface of the giant sealed egg, it moved at variable speeds with its red tongue flickering. The black mist got thicker and thicker around it, looking to engulf it completely.

Fei slightly frowned; something seemed strange.

In the next moment, the king dashed forward like a bolt of lightning and initiated the battle.

Fei swung [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] in the air, and he cast the Barbarian’s most powerful skill – [Whirlwind]!

Since the [Immortal King] Item Set was completed, all the bonus power and effects were demonstrated at this moment. Streaks of lightning bolts that looked like the ones created by [Fist of the Heavens] dashed down from the sky, and four tornadoes appeared and circled the demon, attacking it together.

The highly corrosive black mist rushed towards Fei, but the Barbarian’s Anti-Mage Realm blocked it. It couldn’t get within 1,000 meters of the king.

In an instant, Fei engulfed the demon of Hell with his realm.

Endless lightning bolts struck down from the sky, hitting the body of the demon. The tornadoes that were spinning and circling this demon also dashed forward and tore through this demon’s body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden energy dragon created by [Whirlwind] struck the demon accurately.

While shocking explosions sounded, this giant demon, who was more than 1,000 meters tall and had an imposing presence, didn’t even try to struggle or resist. Like a porcelain doll that was struck by a hammer, this demon shattered into pieces, and these pieces flew in all directions. Quickly, they all disappeared under the power of the Anti-Mage Realm, not even leaving a single streak of smoke.

“Eh? This… this easy? It is dead?!”

The king who was prepared for a hard-fought battle didn’t expect such an ending. This demon of Hell looked dominating and powerful, but its real strength was weaker than a peak Burning Sun Lord, not on the same level as Fei.

“Could it be that this demon already has Alzheimer’s after staying in the sealed egg for 1,000 years? It is only coming out to seek death?” Fei thought to himself.

While looking around in confusion, Fei was highly aware of his surroundings just in case something unexpected happened.

However, it was very quiet in the sealed space from the beginning to the end; no noise or energy fluctuation appeared.

“What is going on?” Fei frowned, and he couldn’t figure it out after thinking for a while.

Just as he was about to enter this giant sealed egg that was broken, a streak of spatial fluctuation that was hard to detect appeared about ten kilometers away.

A streak of shiny black energy was breaking the barrier around this sealed space, trying to flee.

“Where are you going?” Fei roared and chased after this energy.

At this moment, the king instantly understood everything.

This damn demon of Hell created a powerful clone to attract the king’s attention, and its real self instantly escaped from the sealed egg and hid, trying to break the sealed space and get away.

It was clear that after being locked inside the sealed egg for 1,000 years, this demon was already weak. Then, it used a ton of energy to break the seal on the egg, and its strength fell even further; it was no match for Fei, who was a demi-god.

Therefore, this cunning demon had no intention of fighting Fei; it didn’t dare to. It only wanted to get out of here as soon as it could to recover its strength.

When Fei realized all this, it was already too late.

The barrier around this sealed space rippled like the surface of a pond, and that streak of black light disappeared.

The golden sword energy that Fei shot out seemed to have hit this demon since a vague scream sounded, but the king wasn’t sure if he killed this demon or not.

Fei wanted to continue the chase, but he had already lost track of the demon.

The void was full of chaotic energy. Without the accurate location of the demon, it would be useless trying to find it by chance; it was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Whatever. Since five demons already escaped, one more won’t hurt much. Besides, it is very weak, and it got struck by me. It might need 30 to 50 years to recover its full strength, so it isn’t worrisome right now. However, am I already a man who makes demons flee at the sound of my name? Haha!” the king comforted himself.

This battle gave Fei a warning.

The so-called supreme masters from the Mythical Era weren’t truly invincible; these entities were all living beings. They would get drunk if they drank too much, and they would feel the pain if they were stabbed. Therefore, Fei didn’t need to be too nervous when facing them, or they might try to take advantage of that.

In this battle, if Fei weren’t too cautious when facing this demon of Hell and used his full strength right away, the demon might not be able to get away.

Now, the other giant sealed eggs in this sealed space wouldn’t be breaking any time soon.

Fei exhaled and relaxed a little; this counted as the completion of one of his tasks.

Next, perhaps the king should go to the Southern Region of Azeroth to check out the crazy goblins to satisfy his curiosity.
