Hail the King Chapter 572: Let You Understand

“You……” Balesi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He thought that if he showed himself, the King of Chambord would be shocked, lose his mind, and reveal his association with that assassination.

However, the king laughed calmly and firmly rejected what he said.

Balesi felt like his forceful punch landed on thin-air, and that feeling was terrible.

“Damn! What happened? Only about six months went by, and you, Priest Balesi, now look this terrible. It feels like you have aged for 40 years, and you are even balding. Huh? Why do I sense a surge of undead energy on you? Ah! Could it be that you ditched the love of the gods and turned to the evil undead magic?!” Fei said as a shocked expression appeared on his face.

He was indeed vicious to his enemies. Although he was the person who turned Balesi into this, he acted as if he knew nothing and mocked Balesi even more.

“You……” Balesi growled, “Alexander, don’t try to hide! Humph! You can’t fool me! I know that the person who ambushed us was you! You are a born evil genius, and you dared to sneak-attack [God’s Favorite Child] Mr. Kaka. You should be burned alive on a cross! Hehe, today is your death day! Doesn’t matter what you say, you are dead!” Balesi was so mad that he looked like a devil.

Ever since he was severely injured, this priest, who used to look kind and gentle on the surface, changed. Perhaps it was because that the death energy inside his body tortured him, he got short-tempered, no longer calculative, and looked vicious. It felt like he had gone mad.

Fei carefully observed Balesi in detail and realized that a master, who had a ton of holy power, probably helped this priest to heal. However, the purest form of undead energy, death energy, couldn’t be expelled by ordinary holy power. Only the Pope of the Holy Church could do that. However, why would the lord of the Holy Church waste his time and energy on a little priest who was barely on the realm of Moon-Class?

Therefore, Balesi turned into this; he looked like a half ghost.

He had to endure the pain caused by the collision of death energy and holy power in his body every second.

After hearing Balesi’s words, Fei laughed joyously.

“What are you saying? I don’t understand. I’m a [God’s Favorite Child] and obtained golden holy power. How can I be an evil undead mage? Priest Balesi, are you trying to defame me and challenge the honor of the gods?” Fei tried to provoke his opponent as much as he could so that he could figure out how much Balesi knew.

“Whatever, Balesi. More talking isn’t necessary. King of Chambord, don’t fight back anymore. Even if you are a [God’s Favorite Child], you will be killed!” that powerful holy knight saw through Fei’s tricks and interrupted as a cold smile appeared on his face.

“Hehehehehe. Also, we could capture this girl named Angela. I already said that she has the purest soul. Hehehehehe. Once we capture her, we can use a secret technique to wipe her memories. Then, she would be the best medium for us to communicate with the gods! Hahaha!” a wicked smile appeared on Balesi’s face as he laughed; he was truly demon-like.

“The longer it goes, the more potential troubles. Let’s move and kill him!”

“Hahaha! Even a Sun-Class Lord would have a hard time trying to break away from the [Templar Battle Seal]! Haha, King of Chambord, you are only a small character. If you kill yourself now, you don’t need to suffer the pain!”

“Hehe, Taylor, why are you talking to this little king so much? Let’s kill everyone except that woman!”

“Humph! He is just a little king who got lucky! How dare he resist the order of the Holy Church?”

On the other three sides, the three powerful holy knights unleashed their silver holy power. The dashes of energy flowed around the [Templar Battle Seal], blocking off the contact with the outside world. Also, under its effect, the holy knights looked even more powerful and more dominating.

“Being able to die under the [Templar Battle Seal] cast by four masters from the Shiye Shrine, you should be honored!”

“Hehe, if we aren’t afraid of you escaping, we won’t put so much effort into this……”

“Kid, I can kill you with only one finger!”

These three holy knights approached Fei slowly yet steadily, and they had arrogant expressions on their faces. They continued to say things and tried to provoke Fei; they enjoyed the feeling of overpowering their opponents with their words alone.

Fei sneered.

He ignored these holy knights and turned around to face the three students from Chambord’s Civil and Military University.

“Do you also think that they are very annoying?” he asked with a smile.

Pato and Brand were stunned, and they nodded nervously.

“Then, are you guys scared?” Fei asked.

“No!” this time, all three of them replied firmly without hesitation.

Actually, they were a little scared. After all, the name, Holy Church, was pressing, and Jessie who was a powerful master in their eyes even got defeated easily.

Even though they heard that their king was mighty, the enemies had the numbers advantage.

“Could he stop all of them?” they thought.

As if he saw through their expressions and knew their worries, he patted their heads and said with a smile, “Look closely! Today, I will let you know how powerful your king really is! After today, you will all know that Chambord is invincible!”

Before Fei finished speaking, a layer of mystic flames appeared around him.

[Immortal King’s Soul Cage – Sacred Armor] enveloped Fei’s body, and all the metal components covered the vital spots, making him look like an iron battle beast.

A holy yet barbaric aura surrounded him.

“[Immortal King’s Stone Crusher]! Show yourself!”

Fei didn’t wait for these holy knights to approach him. Instead, he dashed forward and took the initiative to attack. He targeted that burly and most powerful holy knight in front of him.

Right before he got to this opponent, he clenched his hands and leaped into the air. Then, a huge monstrous war hammer appeared in his hand.

“[Leap Attack]!!!!!!”

With his hands on the hammer, Fei smashed down with all his might.

“What?!…… No!”

This holy knight, who had a mocking smile on his face, got shocked when he saw the hammer in Fei’s hands.

He sensed an intense danger from this huge hammer, and all the hair on his body stood up.

When he thought of dodging, it was already too late.

As the hammer smashed down, he felt like the entire sky was falling onto him.

The energy of this attack enveloped him, and he couldn’t do anything but to punch out to counter it!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!!

Crack!

“Eh…… Puff!!” this holy knight backed off instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, all the bones in his arms got turned into small chunks.

The power of [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] was demonstrated thoroughly. Even though this holy knight was close to the realm of peak Full Moon, he was severely injured and might not be able to recover.

Fei had been killing monsters in Diablo World every day, and his strength was increasing rapidly.

People who saw this scene all froze.

Louise, Pato, and Brand were so excited that their bodies shivered; they felt like crying.

“This is our king! This is our idol! He is invincible!” they couldn’t hold back their emotions, so they started shouting, “Hail the king!”

The other three holy knights were terrified.
