Chapter 607: Ascending the Throne

Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Ascending the Throne

"Trying to escape? Too late!"

The shadow behind Jiulongduo writhed, and Shu Feng leaped directly out of it, slashing down with his sword.

With a flash of light from the blade, the head of Jiulongduo, a Legendary Professional Skill User, was sent flying high into the air, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Legendary-level Professional Skill Users were highly valued in any kingdom, becoming Great Nobles and pillars of the state. For Shu Feng to have killed Jiulongduo in an instant, denying him even the chance to beg for mercy, naturally filled him with utter disbelief.

With Jiulongduo’s death, the Rebel Army could no longer resist the Kingdom Army’s offensive. They crumbled completely, suffering innumerable casualties and seeing countless soldiers surrender.

After the battle on Wild Horse Plain, no power left in the country could withstand the Wind Kingdom’s army. The Kingdom Army was invincible wherever it went, easily crushing the remaining pockets of the Rebel Army.

In less than a month, the rebellion throughout the Wind Kingdom was brought to a swift end.

The Wind Kingdom also dispatched envoys to the other five kingdoms, informing them of the upcoming coronation ceremony. Only with the recognition of the other five would the Wind Kingdom be considered a true kingdom in the Andoras World.

On the day of the coronation, the great Hereditary Nobles of the Wind Kingdom and the envoys from the other five kingdoms gathered within the Platinum Palace.

"A lowborn peasant who succeeded by relying on a woman actually managed to become a king! Our world has truly fallen so low!"

Malanta, the envoy from the Shadow Kingdom, sighed softly. He was dressed in formal attire, with blond hair, blue eyes, an aquiline nose, and large eyes that held a gloomy glint.

Beside Malanta, Bartoloni, the envoy from the Aikaen Kingdom, merely offered a faint smile and said nothing. He, too, was in formal attire, with short blue hair and an elegant demeanor.

Bartoloni knew exactly why Malanta was so hostile toward Shu Feng. It was because the Shadow King and Kahn, Shu Feng’s alias, were destined to be mortal enemies.

Everyone in the Andoras World knew that the Shadow King possessed the Divine Technique of Skill Theft! The Shadow King could hunt down Professional Skill Users of the thief Profession, seize their Skills, and absorb them to evolve.

The Shadow King had used this Divine Technique to hunt down countless powerful thieves, slaughtering so many that not a single Legendary-level thief remained in the entire world.

Kahn, Shu Feng’s alias, possessed the Shadow Jump Skill and was also a powerful thief. This meant he had already become prey in the eyes of the Shadow King.

Malanta lowered his voice. "Bartoloni, your Aikaen Kingdom is widely known as a nation of nobles. Are you really going to stand by and watch this lowborn become a king? If you join forces with me, we can make things very difficult for this damned peasant."

The Aikaen Kingdom was a nation where the nobility ruled everything. It placed immense importance on bloodlines, and its hierarchy was incredibly rigid. All the high-level Professions were monopolized by nobles. If a noble were to marry a commoner, he would surely be mocked, ostracized, and boycotted by his peers, eventually becoming a pariah.

Bartoloni said coolly, "This is an internal affair of the Wind Kingdom. The Aikaen Kingdom will not interfere."

Although Bartoloni also despised the idea of a lowborn like Shu Feng becoming a king, the Aikaen Kingdom had no conflict of interest with the Wind Kingdom. Thus, Bartoloni was not foolish enough to offend Kahn, Shu Feng’s alias.

After all, Yimas had killed Hunter I, and Shu Feng, in turn, had killed Yimas to become the King of the Wind Kingdom. Shu Feng’s strength was undoubtedly among the absolute top tier of Divine-level Professional Skill Users.

Naturally, the Aikaen Kingdom would not offend the nascent Wind Kingdom for no reason.

"Bellini, Kahn’s Queen is the Dark Elf Camilla! It was only with her help that he achieved what he has today. If he continues to grow stronger, I fear your Elf Kingdom will be in danger."

Malanta’s brow furrowed slightly. His gaze fell upon a nearby Elf Envoy—a tall, exceedingly handsome, and youthful-looking man—as he spoke, trying to sow discord.

Bellini’s expression changed slightly. He let out a cold snort and remained silent.

In the Ancient Era of the Andoras World, legend has it that there was only the Elf Clan, who worshipped the Ancient Moon God. Later, one Elf Tribe betrayed their own kind, converting their faith to the Ancient Dark Evil God of the Andoras World.

Those Elves who worshipped the Ancient Dark Evil God became the Dark Elf clan.

The Ancient Moon God and the Ancient Dark Evil God then engaged in a terrifying, cataclysmic war.

The Elf Clan and the Dark Elf clan also went to war.

The result was mutually devastating. The Ancient Moon God and the Ancient Dark Evil God both vanished. The Elf Clan and the Dark Elf clan suffered such heavy casualties that neither could continue the fight.

The Elf Clan and the Dark Elf clan fought for countless years across the Andoras World. Ultimately, the Elf Clan was victorious and established the Elf Kingdom.

The Dark Elves, meanwhile, were driven into harsh lands overrun with Demons, where they eked out a meager existence as scattered, small tribes.

Just as the Shadow Kingdom’s mortal enemy was Shu Feng, the Elf Kingdom’s enemy was naturally his Queen, the Dark Elf Camilla.

The Dragon Kingdom, the Beastman Kingdom, and the Aikaen Kingdom could remain neutral, but the Elf Kingdom and the Shadow Kingdom were bound to be enemies of the Wind Kingdom.

"His Majesty Kahn arrives!"

A voice carried in from outside the Platinum Palace.

Shu Feng strode in, dressed in a magnificent Imperial Robe.

Following behind Shu Feng were Camilla, looking alluring and radiant in a lavish gown, and Hilea, who was the picture of elegance, grace, and nobility. They were Shu Feng’s two Queens.

’Truly beautiful! She is worthy of her title as the greatest beauty of the Saint Arman Kingdom!’

Malanta thought with admiration, his eyes lighting up as he gazed upon the elegant, graceful, and noble Hilea.

The eyes of the other envoys also fell upon Hilea, their gazes filled with admiration.

In terms of appearance, Camilla was by no means less beautiful than Hilea. However, her skin was dark, which did not align with this world’s beauty standards. Here, snow-white skin was considered the ideal.

Shu Feng ascended to the throne of the Platinum Palace and sat down. Hilea and Camilla took their seats beside him on the Queens’ thrones, which were set slightly lower, and looked down upon the assembled ministers and envoys.

In the Andoras World, Kings would sometimes leave the capital to venture out, hunt Demons, and improve their own strength.

Before leaving, a King could authorize the kingdom’s Prime Minister, Queen, a Prince, or a princess to rule in his stead. It was not unusual for a Queen to act as regent in the Andoras World.

"His Holiness the Pope arrives!"

An old man with a white beard and hair stepped into the Platinum Palace. He wore the Pope’s Robe, and though he was old, his eyes were exceptionally sharp and full of spirit.

The moment Malanta saw the old man, his face fell. "His Holiness the Pope, he’s here! Why is he here?"
