Hail the King

Chapter 484: Approaching

“It’s them!”

After the two mysterious masters were killed, the layers of mist that were covering their faces disappeared and revealed their identities.

[Snow Mountain Hermit] instantly got mad after seeing their faces. He knew them, and they could be counted as his friends. They had always wanted to buy one of [Snow Mountain Hermit]’s collected treasures, but [Snow Mountain Hermit] refused. After not getting what they wanted, they conspired against him and planned to kill him!

“Master, are you ok?” Fairenton, Modoc, and Tony quickly came up to their master; they were the only people left in the team.

“I’m fine.” [Snow Mountain Hermit] waved his hand.

As he looked at the remaining flesh of his Nine-Star disciples, he felt angry and sad at the betrayal of his friends. He brought his disciples here because he wanted to see if he could find appropriate magic traps for them to practice in. There was the chance that those Nine-Star Warriors could advance into Moon-Class. But……

[Snow Mountain Hermit] shook his head and dispelled his emotions. After he thought of something, he looked at Fairenton and said, “I didn’t know that man paid so much attention to you, and he is willing to put the Saint Weapon of Jax, [Sand of Earthly Anger], into your body. With the protection from this item, nothing could harm you as long as you don’t enter a Mythical Trap.”

“I only knew about the [Sand of Earthly Anger] just now; I wasn’t trying to hide it from you, Master,” Fairenton quickly explained himself; he was afraid that his master would be suspicious about this.

“Humph! That is a lie! Since you have this Saint Weapon, how come you didn’t use it earlier to kill those two? Why did you only use it after all other Junior Brothers have died? You are young, but you are poisonous already!” Tony who was quiet suddenly pointed his finger at Fairenton as he accused; he was too jealous of what Fairenton had.

“Shut up!” Before Fairenton could reply, [Snow Mountain Hermit]’s face dropped as he scolded Tony. The latter was shocked since his master had never been so harsh on him, and he backed off a few steps unwillingly.

[Snow Mountain Hermit] didn’t hold Tony accountable further. Instead, he turned to Fairenton and said calmly, “Don’t worry. [Sand of Earthly Anger] is the supreme treasure of Jax, and it makes sense that you have it since you are the Crown Prince. I’m just happy for you since that man has put so much emphasis on you.”

Fairenton sensed the caring from his master, and he was touched. He quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

“Ok, let’s continue forward. We have wasted enough time, and we might be late.”

About one day has passed since the Mythical Gate opened, and [Snow Mountain Hermit] looked at the direction of the core region of the Mythical Palace with a hesitant expression on his face. As if he made a hard decision, his appearance turned valiant, and he moved forward with his three disciples.

Tony rolled his eyes and quietly took the spatial storage rings of those two dead masters. Then, he took the valuables from the corpses of his Junior Brothers and followed suit.

After half a minute, something happened.

A loud booming noise sounded from afar, and it felt like the entire Mythical Palace was going to be destroyed. Godly-level energy radiated outward, and [Snow Mountain Hermit] and his disciples who were far away from the explosion could still tell how powerful and indefensible this energy was.

Even though the power the [Sand of Earthly Anger] showed when it killed those two masters was insane, it was nothing compared with the radiating energy.

“Is another powerful master demonstrating his or her abilities?”

Fairenton, Modoc, and Tony were all stunned; they felt tiny and powerless at that moment.

[Snow Mountain Hermit], on the other hand, had a concerned expression on his face.

After a moment of pause, he said, “Let’s continue!”

This group of people quickly disappeared into afar.

After they were gone, transparent ripples fluttered the space, and two people slowly walked out from it and showed up on the bloody battleground.

“Your Majesty, this sensation…… That man is here!”

“Eh, that guy is still arrogant! Damn, no one would like him.” The man who was referred to as the emperor was short, but he had the golden crown on his head. His presence was shocking, and his muscular body looked powerful; he gave people the feeling that he was in control of the world.

“This is getting more and more interesting. Who would be the final winner? Perhaps after the Mythical Gate closes, both of us will die here,” he said.

“No one can defeat Your Majesty, and the final winner has to be the Jax Empire!” the person beside him replied.

The short emperor laughed, “No one could always be the winner, and no one could always be the protagonist…… Let’s go and meet up with old friends.”

After he said that, an orange light flashed by, and the two of them disappeared.

……

……

Time passed by quickly.

In just the blink of an eye, it was already the second day since the opening of the Mythical Gate.

Fei was the luckiest one in the Mythical Palace! The closer he was to the core region, the more magical and profound the map, that Manager Abramovich gave to Fei as a gift, seemed. In just a day, Fei was already in the level 31 region; this region was considered a super dangerous zone where only Sun-Class Lords could enter.

On the way, Fei didn’t trigger any magic traps or killing mechanisms.

During this time, Fei found some time and entered Diablo World to kill monsters and level up. His Barbarian Character completed two quests and was now level 34. That was a massive boost in strength! The Barbarian Character was now equivalent to a level 4 low-tier Half Moon Elite!

Since he advanced in ranks, there was supposed to be a challenge thrown at him by this world. However, Fei was inside this isolated and mysterious Mythical Palace, so it didn’t arrive. That meant although Fei had the strength of a Half Moon Elite, his understanding of the natural laws was still at the level of a New Moon Elite.

The pressure and the gravity in level 31 region were beyond terrifying, and Fei had to slow down a lot. Although he wasn’t crawling, he couldn’t run anymore. He moved forward one step at a time, and every step took a lot of energy. As if he was a 60 years old man, he had to be careful with every step of his.

The silver energy flame was shining brightly on him, and he had to unleash all of his power to fight against the pressure.

After a full day of exploring, Fei only entered the level 33 region.

Right now, Fei could no longer proceed forward. If he forced himself anymore, his body would break down. Therefore, he had to find a location in the level 33 region to hide; he was planning to enter Diablo World to increase his strength again.

Fei entered [Lut Gholein] and got the fourth and fifth quest from NPC Drognan.

He got to [Palace Cellar] through the hidden entrance in the [Palace]. After traveling through the cellar and killing monsters, he finally found the portal to [Arcane Sanctuary] at the third level of the cellar.

This portal looked like the two arms of a giant that were twisted together, and it was made from a grey unknown-metal. The structure was smooth, and the runes engraved on it were connected and looked mystic. The bottom half of the portal was an arched gate that was about three meters tall, and the top half of the portal was a smaller half circle with a radius of half a meter. There was a circular gear that had a radius of 30 centimeters inside this small half circle, and it was static and looked like a huge eye that was slightly open.

This portal currently had no energy on it and had no functionality.

According to Fei’s memory, he had to press his palm against the grey metal and inject some magic power into it.

He did that, and the runes on the portal instantly lit up. A blue light was radiating from the portal, and a blue energy screen appeared in the arched gate.

Out of the few hours he spent in Diablo World, this portal gave him the most profound impression.
