Hail the King

Chapter 416: Eliminate the Powerful Enemies



Chapter 416: Eliminate the Powerful Enemies

Elena’s arrows slowed down the throwing axes, and Fei was able to dodge the attack using skill [Leap]. But right after he jumped away, Korlic used [Leap Attack] at him again, and the huge ax chopped down at him forcefully.

“[Leap Attack]!”

Fei roared and used [Leap Attack] as well. Using his Dual-Swords, he mimicked the strike of an ax and collided with Korlic in mid-air.

Boom!

The mighty wind was created, and Fei and Korlic both got knocked back.

This time, Fei was in the disadvantage; his swords almost fell out of his hands as the skin on his hands were torn.

Korlic was an Ancient, and he was known for his [Leap Attack]. This Barbarian Skill reached a new height in his hands; it could be said that no one was able to understand the power and the essence of [Leap Attack] better than him.

Fei’s [Leap Attack] was only level 12; the difference between them was huge.

As soon as Fei landed on the ground, a bladestorm came right at him. The summit of Mount Arreat turned into a sea of blades.

[Whirlwind]!

This was the skill that Talic was known for.

Fei instantly used [Leap] and dodged that fierce attack; he didn’t want to take on that powerful attack head-on.

In just a few seconds of battle, Fei already got a clear idea of the power level of these three Ancients. Each of them had the ability to take him on, and it was no longer possible for him to defeat them in a dominating manner. This was the hardest battle that Fei had in Diablo World, and he had to take it slow and try to outlast them; that was the strategy he used in the game on Earth as well.

It was fortunate that Fei wasn’t fighting alone; he had his powerful Mercenary.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A bunch of arrows and throwing axes were flying in the air.

Elena and Madawc who were both great at long-range combat fought with each other.

Although Madawc was more powerful, Elena was able to utilize the enormous stone structures and towers on the altar to dodge his attack.

While avoiding getting hit, she was able to counterattack effectively.

In the short term, no one was able to get the victory.

“Great! I shall kill Korlic, the weakest one among them, first!”

Fei thought about it and ditched his Dual-Swords.

Although the set items [Bul-Kathos’ Children] was able to improve his power by increasing his statistics, Fei didn’t put many points into [Sword Mastery], and he didn’t know many powerful sword techniques. As a result, Fei’s real power was being limited by his weapons.

After he ditched his swords, he lowered his center of gravity and pulled back his right arm. Instantly, the weather on the summit of Mount Arreat changed. A huge transparent fist mark appeared in the air, and it dashed at Korlic as Fei punched out and shouted, “[Sky Frost Fist]! – One Strike to Kill!”

Fei couldn’t beat these Ancients in terms of proficiency in the Barbarian skills, but he had more strength than them. After all, Fei was now a level 91 Barbarian, and he added almost all of his attribute points to [Strength].

Boom!

Korlic was immediately knocked away by the fist mark.

Fei didn’t chase after Korlic.

Even though Korlic lost one-fifth of his HP, Talic, the most powerful Ancient among the three used [Whirlwind], turned into a blade tornado, and struck at Fei.

[Leap]!

Fei jumped into the air, concentrated his strength, and struck at Talic using his [Sky Frost Fist].

Boom!

Talic was knocked away as well!

Fei gained a lot of confidence after seeing this.

He knew that the Goddess of Victory was tilting towards him and flirting with him.

In the next 15 minutes, it seemed like everything went according to plan.

After Fei used [Sky Frost Fist] for the tenth time, Korlic who used a massive ax as his weapon finally got his HP bar cleaned out.

After a roar that seemed to be filled with an emotion that could be interpreted as relief or anger sounded, a golden light shone on his body, and this light changed the environment.

This golden light turned into an unknown golden energy and dashed into the clouds from Korlic’s body. Then, this golden energy fell from the sky and sped at Fei. This energy was traveling so fast that it entered Fei’s body before Fei could react.

The king instantly felt a warm sensation throughout his body as if his body was being nurtured.

Then, something happened on the spiritual level. As if a dry seed finally received the proper rainfall, Fei felt a sense of comfort deep in his soul. As the bones in his body lightly crackled, a strange and unimaginable change was taking place in his body; all of these were beyond Fei’s expectation.

At the same time, Korlic’s corpse disappeared, and a statue reappeared in the center of the altar. The statue was holding a huge ax, and it looked like Korlic who just died.

This was what Fei remember from the game; after the Ancients died, they would return to the golden statue form.

The only thing that was different was that the golden energy that represented the essence of Korlic dashed into Fei’s body and caused some great changes.

However, since Fei was still in battle, he didn’t have much time to think. As a roar shouted, blade energies dashed in all directions. All the snowflakes that were falling from the sky were chopped into dust, and it seemed like everything on the summit of Mount Arreat was going to be destroyed.

[Whirlwind]!

No wonder Talic was known as the most powerful Ancient; the skill [Whirlwind] reached another level in his hands. Fei felt like this strike used by Talic was equivalent to the high-level Combat Techniques that Moon-Class Elites used; it was filled with the power of destruction.

For the first time, Fei realized that the skills of the Barbarians could deal this much damage.

[Leap]!

Fei jumped into the air and dodged again.

Using the same method, he just threw the transparent fist marks created by his [Sky Frost Fist] at Talic from afar.

Right after this powerful Ancient finish casting [Whirlwind], he could pause for a split-second. At this moment, his defense would fall to an all-time-low.

Fei was able to seize this opportunity every time and successfully strike Talic. Every punch from Fei was able to take away one-twentieth of Talic’s HP.

However, Fei wasn’t at ease.

[Whirlwind] was a crazy Barbarian skill that utilized the power of dual-weapons. When Talic used it, many sword energies flew in the air. Although Fei was using the best items he got and tried to dodge to the best of his ability, numerous wounds appeared on his body, and blood flowed out of the wounds continuously.

Boom!

Talic finally fell onto the ground and died after Fei punched out again.

Just like last time, the golden energy shot into the sky from Talic’s corpse and then dashed into Fei’s body like lightning. The king felt the sensation of being over-nurtured physically and spiritually again; every single cell in his body was moaning and cheering.

After this golden energy disappeared into Fei’s body, one more statue appeared on the altar.

It was Talic’s golden statue.

Suddenly, Fei noticed the third statue as well. It meant that Elena defeated Madawc right around the same time.

“Finally!” Fei smiled and looked at Elena’s direction in fatigue.

As soon as Fei saw Elena, he was terrified.

Elena was leaning against a stone tower that was more than 100 meters tall and trying her best not to collapse. The bow that never left her hand was now on the ground, and there were a ton of wounds on her body as well. The most significant injury she had was on her waist; she almost got chopped in half horizontally. Although blood was flowing out of the wounds rapidly and her face was pale, she smiled as she looked at Fei.

“Elena…… you are injured?”

Fei screamed as fear overtook him.

The wounds on Elena scared him more than the wounds on his own body.

He instantly rushed over and chugged a bottle of [Super Health Potion] into Elena’s mouth.

“You are injured so severely…… why didn’t you notify me? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”

Fei was anxious and mad at the same time.

He knew that this Valkyrie didn’t want to bother him in battle; she didn’t let out any sound when she was injured, and she killed Madawc using an injury-for-injury semi-suicidal method.

In reality, Elena’s contribution in this battle was significant.

If she didn’t block Madawc who was great at [Double Throw], the three Ancients would coordinate in perfection. Fei wouldn’t be able to kill any of the Ancients if he had to constantly dodge [Double Throw], [Whirlwind], and [Leap Attack]. He might have died!
