Hail the King

Chapter 440: Sacred Armor

Fei was wearing the best armor he could buy from the NPC in [Harrogath]. Although it was only a level 5 item, it offered a good defense. With dual-swords [Bul-Kathos’ Children] in his hands, none of the demons in the palace could defend against Fei’s attacks.

Since he was in a time crunch to save the girls, the King didn’t try to reserve his mana. As he chugged down [Mana Potions], he used [Whirlwind] continuously.

For a moment, sword energies were flying everywhere.

Under the power of the level 99 Barbarian, [Whirlwind] was being performed at an extremely amazing level. The sword energies that were invisible now turned to the color silver, and they chopped everything in front of Fei.

When the powerful demons charged at Fei, they were all killed like crops under the sickle of a farmer.

In front of the raging king, these demons had no chance of winning.

In less than half an hour, Fei arrived at the third level of [Worldstone Keep] – [Throne of Destruction].

This was where the final boss Baal was located.

On a huge altar that was made from numerous cracked bones and dried blood, final boss Baal who looked like a combination of a spider and an octopus was sitting there. Its huge body that was more than 20 meters tall opened its terrifying big mouth and laughed. Behind him, there was a void that had a ton of red bloody energy leaking out of it; it looked like it was a waterfall of death.

However, Fei knew that this Baal was only a mirror image of itself; it wasn’t the real Baal.

Just like how Fei remembered from the game in his previous life, a cloud of red fire would shoot out Baal’s mouth every time it laughed.

It was a way of summing demons.

When the fires landed on the ground, they would turn into hundreds of demons.

There were all kinds of demons! Powerful demons from all the maps such as [Rogue Encampment] and [Harrogath] appeared, and they charged at Fei with sharp weapons and thick armors.

However, the King was even more frenzy than them.

“[Whirlwind]!! Chop! Chop! Chop!!!”

As the King roared, his voice covered the shouts coming from the demons. The silver bladestorm covered the entire palace, various colored blood that had strong corrosion effects formed a pond, and the demons died in their own blood.

In the end, Baal’s summoning speed wasn’t as fast as Fei’s killing speed.

Fei clearly sensed that a ton of experience points flowed into his body as he felt a warm energy. Normally, this much experience points would have made the Barbarian Character level up. But this time, didn’t matter how much experience points he got, his level didn’t change.

Finally, Baal that was laughing on the altar disappeared after an hour, and it stopped summoning demons.

After Fei killed all the demons around him, he stepped onto Baal’s throne that looked like an altar, and he then entered the bloody waterfall-like portal behind the throne without hesitation.

After a few seconds, Fei opened his eyes and saw a new space.

[Worldstone Chamber] was very different from the [Worldstone Keep] prior; it was a lot smaller and darker.

The walls around [Worldstone Chamber] looked ancient, and there was a ton of dust on them, making them look ragged. Many ceiling pieces had already fallen onto the floor that was made from ancient stone plates, and most of the floor also cracked up. This place looked like a tomb that was going to collapse at any moment.

Perhaps it was due to the corrosion power from the Hell, the palace was very dark and gloomy. Fei’s visibility was greatly reduced due to the thick bloody fog in the air and the deadly, poisonous, and moist air flowing around him.

This was the place of the final battle; this should be the ending location in Diablo World.

The Baal that appeared in [Throne of Destruction] was only a mirror image, and the real Baal was hiding here.

“Ahahahah! Stupid human! Your trip stops here! Give me your delicious bones, flesh, and soul! I smell something good! Let me drink your blood and make you into one of my soldiers! You could live for eternity, hahaha!”

The real Baal appeared as he laughed crazily.

“Eternity your mom! Give me your life and [Worldstone]! Daddy needs to save his women! Ah! [Whirlwind]!!”

Fei leaped into the air as he chugged down a bottle of [Mana Potion].

Boom! A silver tornado made from sword energies struck Baal, and it took out 5% of Baal’s health.

Fei felt a lot more confident after seeing this.

The ferocious battle began.

However, the reality was crueler than Fei imagined. Baal had the intelligence that the ordinary bosses in the Diablo World didn’t have, and he was able to cast both fire-elemental and fire-elemental magic spells. His spells were all AoE, and Fei had a hard time dodging. Once he got hit, his movement speed would slow down, and he would be hit even more. When Fei took away a lot of Baal’s health, this boss used [Teleport] and slowly healed back up while dodging Fei’s attacks.

After half an hour, Fei finally won this fight against the most powerful demon in Diablo World in Normal Mode.

Boom! Baal’s huge body slammed onto the ground, and it screamed and whined unwillingly as blood rushed out of its mouth.

When Baal died, a dash of pink lightning rushed out of its corpse and lit up the entire [Worldstone Chamber]. Then, the ground started to shake as the palace started to collapse. Huge pieces of roof tiles fell down, and it felt like it was doomsday.

There were all kinds of lights flashing around Baal’s corpse; blue, orange, green……

There were also almost at least 10,000 gold coins around him.

Fei walked straight into the T-shaped corridor in front of him without even looking at the rewards from Baal.

This T-shaped corridor inside [Worldstone Chamber] was the most mysterious structure in Diablo World. It was built in the void; both side of the corridor and the bottom of the corridor was the void abyss. It felt like this structure was built somewhere in space with no end in sight. There were a lot of ancient stone statues on the sides of the corridor, and they were connected by rusty iron chains that were stained with blood.

Fei got to the end of the T-shaped corridor.

On a rough stone table, the King found the [Worldstone].

According to Priestess Akara’s description, the pure [Worldstone] should be in a dark-blue color just like the sky, and it should be shiny like a crystal. Also, it should be an oval sphere that was about ten centimeters long and four centimeters in diameter.

However, the [Worldstone] in front of Fei’s eyes was obviously stained!

Its shape didn’t change, but its color was now red. It was giving off an evil and chilling sensation! As Fei took one look at this [Worldstone], all kinds of negative and destructive thoughts appeared in his head; he felt like he was going to fall and become a demon.

Fei sighed in disappointment.

However, he still packed this [Worldstone] into his bag; he just hoped that Akara could really purify this [Worldstone] later.

At this moment, a mysterious ripple appeared in front of him. Next, a blue portal appeared beside Fei.

Archangel Tyrael walked out of the portal.

“Great work! Baal is finally killed! Honorable Hero Fei, you proved your courage and power using your actions, and you killed the source of evil in the world. However, the [Worldstone] is stained! It must be destroyed! Hero! For the forever peace and purity of the world, you have to destroy it!” Tyrael said.

This Archangel was wearing a holy light armor, and tentacle-like energy flames behind him contained an indefensible and majestic power.

When he stared at Fei closely, Fei felt like he was being judged by the gods! He felt like this Archangel was waiting for his response, and this Archangel was going to kill him if he refused.

However, the King curled his lips and didn’t do anything.

To be honest, he didn’t like the angels after he got to know the history behind everything. This war between the Heaven and the Hell was like a game played by the gods and the devils to kill time. All the pain the humans suffered was like the seasoning to a meal.

Both the Heaven and the Hell didn’t represent justice; gods and devils were both powerful but cruel and selfish creatures.

Fei turned around and gave Tyrael a back to look at.

“Huh? A green item?” Fei walked to the corpse of the final boss Baal and saw an item that was flashing a green light. After he used an [Identify Scroll] on it, this green armor finally revealed itself; it was a heavy armor that looked perfect in all aspects.

“This…… is [Immortal King’s Soul Cage – Sacred Armor]?” Fei’s voice was even shaking.
