Hail the King

Chapter 491: Situation

The combination of the strength of the Nightmare Mode Level 40 Barbarian, [Whirlwind], and the power of the runes created by [Bul-Kathos’ Children] was almost invincible! It was almost beyond the realm of a technique and almost grasped onto the laws of nature.

Out of the four people who had the sword on top of their heads, Fairenton was facing the most pressure. Although the Semi-God-tier Combat Weapon was powerful, any other energy that landed on it would be sent into his body! Therefore, he experienced the full power of the [Whirlwind]. Blood gushed out of Fairenton’s mouth and nose, and [Sand of Earthly Anger] also lost its glare and returned to Fairenton’s palm like a regular big sand grain.

[Snow Mountain Hermit] used Fairenton as a medium to control the [Sand of Earthly Anger], and he was lightly injured. However, all of his Warrior Energy was sucked away by this Semi-God-tier Combat Weapon. His legs were weak, and he had no way of defending himself now. If that silver sword fell, he would be killed for sure.

Modoc and Tony were not involved in the battle and weren’t injured that much, but their faces paled. Chilling sensation coming from the swords above them numbed their bodies.

“I…… Lost.” As he sensed the chilling energy on the swords above his head, a bitter smile appeared on Fairenton’s face, and he said, “I lost again.”

“If you focused on cultivation and is a Moon-Class Elite, this situation would be different since you would be able to get more power out of the [Sand of Earthly Anger]……” Fei said.

Although he and Fairenton were on different sides, he did appreciate this young man. After all, he was able to see some of the noble and honorable traits in this young man.

Whoosh!

The silver sword on top of Fairenton’s head disappeared, and Fairenton was at a loss of words.

It wasn’t the first time that someone told him that he was too weak in terms of cultivation. The consecutive loses made him re-examine his chosen path.

Fei stopped talking and looked to the other three.

After a while of silence.

“Kill me,” after seeing Fei’s stares, [Snow Mountain Hermit] said as his straight body curled a little. Fei’s powerful uprise made him feel powerless.

Geniuses were known as geniuses because they could fight with enemies who were a lot older and a lot more experienced. Although [Snow Mountain Hermit] had been cultivating a lot longer than Fei, he couldn’t do anything now.

“Good!” Fei sneered and didn’t show any mercy.

This man in red forced Angela and Elena to lose consciousness, and Fei had been wanting to kill him. Since he got the opportunity today, he wasn’t going to let it go.

“Wait!”

“No!”

Fairenton and Modoc both shouted as they tried rushed to [Snow Mountain Hermit] and wanted to block the sword for him. As they did that, they begged Fei for mercy. They were both from the Jax Empire, and they had been learning from [Snow Mountain Hermit] for more than ten years. They had a deep bond with their master, and they couldn’t let him just die in front of them.

On the other hand, Tony who was favored by [Snow Mountain Hermit] was so scared that he didn’t say or do anything. After seeing that Fei was looking at him, he kneeled and begged out of fear, “Don’t kill me…… Please don’t kill me…… If you want to kill someone, kill him!” Tony screamed as he pointed at [Snow Mountain Hermit], “It was him who told me to attack you! It is all his fault……”

“You…… Tony! How can you say that? What you are doing is unethical and wrong!”

“Senior Brother Tony! Do you know what you are talking about? Everyone in Big Snow Mountain knows that our master loves you the most! He even used almost all of Big Snow Mountain’s treasures to push you into the realm of Moon-Class! How can you treat your own master like this?”

Modoc and Fairenton shouted at Tony; they were so furious that they could eat him alive! They felt terrible for their master as [Snow Mountain Hermit]’s love and investment yielded such a terrible outcome; it was almost unbearable!

Just like what they thought, [Snow Mountain Hermit] couldn’t believe his ears! His body was already curled a little due to the loss in battle, and it bent even more after hearing what Tony had said.

After a while, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed. Unexpectedly, he didn’t get mad; he was just sad and disappointed. It felt like he had aged a lot in just those few seconds.

“This is impossible! Move! You guys aren’t qualified to ask me to go easy on them! Fairenton, don’t think that I won’t kill you!” Fei wasn’t moved by the situation at all. With a cold expression, his waved his hand, and the silver sword shivered a little. The powerful energy pushed down and forced Fairenton and Modoc away, and it continued to chop down at [Snow Mountain Hermit].

The King already made up his mind.

Just as [Snow Mountain Hermit] was about to die under Fei’s sword energy, something happened.

A dash of orange sword energy shot towards this direction from the [Elemental Altar], and it collided with Fei’s silver sword energy. After a series of sparks and metal-colliding noises, the two swords shivered in mid-air and exploded into mists before disappearing.

“King Alexander of Chambord, please wait. I owed this [Snow Mountain Hermit] a favor, and I couldn’t just watch this happen on the side. How about you let him go this time?” that master of Jax, who was short but majestic, spoke loudly as he stood by the portal on the west side of the altar.

Everyone was surprised. No one anticipated that this silent and powerful master of Jax would suddenly step in and save [Snow Mountain Hermit].

Fei frowned a little.

However, the King already thought of this.

Since Fairenton was from the Royal Family of Jax and suddenly got the Semi-God-tier Weapon [Sand of Earthly Anger], it meant that top-tier masters from Jax were here to help. It was clear that the man standing on the altar was a member of Jax, so Fei knew that he was going to step in sooner or later.

Whoosh!

That master of Jax waved his hand, and an orange light shone brightly. The [Sand of Earthly Anger] that died down in Fairenton’s hand suddenly lit up, and it dashed into this master’s hand as if it was revived.

This Semi-God-tier Combat Weapon finally revealed its strength in this man’s hand, and this item was giving off an intimate sensation as if it was a kid who finally reunited with his or her parents. Although this master of Jax didn’t completely show off the power of the [Sand of Earthly Anger], the pressure it gave was already breathtaking.

Fei nodded and replied directly, “OK.”

This master of Jax was far more powerful than [Snow Mountain Hermit], and Fei couldn’t defeat him in a battle. In addition, this man had the [Sand of Earthly Anger] and was smooth at using it. Making this man an enemy wasn’t a wise idea.

Besides, Fei knew that this man wasn’t lying about the favor since he wasn’t trying to pressure Fei into anything. His expression and tone were both really earnest! Fei knew that he interrupted and saved [Snow Mountain Hermit] this time for that favor, and this man wasn’t going to do it again.

“Thanks!” this master of Jax smiled back at Fei to show his gratitude, and he put away the [Sand of Earthly Anger].

“You are welcome.”

Tink! Tink! Tink!

As soon as Fei said that, a series of metal-gliding noises sounded, and the huge pair of wings on Fei’s back folded up. All the sword energies slowly combined into a massive sword in the end and disappeared.

At the same time, Fei slowly landed on the altar on the northwest side and occupied the last spot.

No one dared to object to Fei’s action.

The battle that just took place told everyone that the King’s could beat anyone else that wasn’t on the altar.

The whole thing was settled.

The people who didn’t get on the altar were disappointed, desperate, and sad.

They looked at the masters who got to claim [Elemental Gates] with envy. These masters were only one step away from entering the legendary level 36 region. People who got there had the potential of leveling up rapidly, and they had the opportunity of getting special Combat Weapons from [Combat Weapons’ Tomb]…… It was too bad that they couldn’t get there even though they risked their lives to get to this point.

“The eight gates got claimed! Since this is the case, let’s all activate the altar! The time is tight!” Hazel Bank looked at the masters on the altar and suggested. He knew that Fei was in a hurry to find the Mythical Altar, so he stood out and took the lead.

“OK.”

“Let’s do it.”

The masters on the altar all nodded and agreed. They were all ready to inject their energies into the structures and open up the [Elemental Gates].

“Hehe, wait for a second. This Zenitian shouldn’t get to go……” someone sneered and interrupted. This person was one of two thin devil-like elders behind that huge Emperor of Eindhoven, and he was pointing at Fei! He said in his hoarse voice, “There are eight [Elemental Gates] here, but the people of Zenit claim two of them! It is not fair!”

(TL: Just made up the word, Zenitian, hope you guys are fine with it!”
