Hail the King

This was Fei’s second time fighting the [Lord of Pain] Duriel, that looked like a huge bug, as a Barbarian.

The gloomy and dark underground passage was filled with a nose-piercing smell of blood, and the air was moist. The blood of monsters was everywhere and formed puddles, and it stained the magic battle boots that Fei and Elena were wearing. The corpses of the monsters they killed were lying around them. Under the illumination of the ancient magic lights, the terrifying battleground could rival with hell.

Fei inserted the Horadric Staff, the item he got from completing the previous quests, into the Orifice in the center of the circle of seven symbols, and a secret passage to where Duriel was hiding opened.

“Duriel, this fat bug, is one of the top figures in hell. I hope that we could get some great items from it. Other components of the [Immortal King] set would be best……” Fei prayed in his mind before he looked at the Valkyrie beside him and said, “Elena, let’s go!”

As they stepped into the portal, they entered a special place, and the angry roars sounded before the powerful winds came at him.

“Haha, this fat bug sure is lovely!” Fei laughed.

Since Elena was behind him, he didn’t try to dodge. Instead, he held onto two crystal swords that he got from killing monsters and charged at it.

Bam!

The energy waves almost destroyed this tomb. The space started to shake, and clouds of dust fell from the ceiling and reduced the visibility.

A huge force got passed onto the two swords, and Fei was forced back one step. The crystal swords in his hands cried and cracked, and the huge bug, Duriel, roared angrily as its huge body got knocked away.

The benefit of giving all attribute points to [Strength] showed. Compared with Fei who specialized in physical strength, even the boss Duriel couldn’t rival him in this aspect.

“Wow! This boss’ physical strength is even weaker than Blacky!”

Fei got more confident as his understanding of the bosses in the Nightmare Mode got clearer.

However, the two blue crystal swords Fei used also got destroyed in the process.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of air-piercing noises sounded, and many magic arrows flew pass Fei and targeted Duriel that was still flying in mid-air.

The beautiful mercenary started her fierce attacks as well.

Even though Duriel was angry and went berserk, its attacks such as ice blast didn’t pose any threats to the two invaders. Fei and Elena coordinated too well, and they clearly had the advantage.

-Ten minutes later-

“Huh? Ahahahaha! Damn, I’m lucky! I got what I wanted……” Fei stood in front of Duriel’s huge corpse and laughed out loud even though Elena was right there with him.

He was holding onto a huge hammer that was longer than himself!

[Immortal King’s Stone Crusher]!!!

It was a component of the [Immortal King] item set.

This hammer was black, and its style was simple. It was made from an unknown metal, and it felt very thick and powerful. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it had a history with it. Just the handle of this hammer was about two meters long. The end of the handle was about the circumference of an egg, and the handle got thicker as it approached the huge metal hammer head. Ancient patterns were engraved onto the handle, and they looked like coiled dragons. The handle felt warm, but it wasn’t slippery.

The hammer head was like a huge barrel, and fist-sized spikes were placed in an orderly fashion on the body of the hammer head. One side of the hammer head was flat, and the other side was pointy like a nail. The tip of this end was giving off a silver light, and it felt like it was going to penetrate through people’s souls. It looked blood-thirsty and destructive.

No wonder it was the legendary weapon of the Immortal King, Bul-Kathos. The visuals alone were enough to scare people.

A star-level warrior wouldn’t even be able to lift up this heavy metal hammer, let alone using it in battle.

Even though Fei’s barbarian character had a ton of physical strength, this hammer wasn’t that light in his hands; it felt just right.

Almost all of Fei’s weapons were destroyed in the battle with Domenech. Even his dual swords, [Bul-Kathos’ Children] were shattered by the [Sword of Fire Judgment].

Fei lacked a proper weapon, and this [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] came just in time. Fei had added a few skill points into [Polearm Mastery] in Normal Mode, so he didn’t find it difficult to use this hammer. Instead, he felt like he could better unleash the violent and ferocious force of a barbarian.

After laughing, Fei calmed down and started to check out the detail statistics of this weapon.

[Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] was also known as Ogre Maul.

Damage: 431 – 538. This meant that every strike was equivalent to the full-on strike of a low-tier New Moon Elite. This was the most powerful magic weapon Fei had seen so far.

[Required level: Nightmare Mode Level 40

Required strength: Nightmare Mode 100

+250% damage to undead

+200% damage to demons

+200% enhanced damage

+ 40% attack speed

+ 211-397 fire damage with 2 set items.

+ 7-477 lightning damage with 3set items

+ 127-364 cold damage for 6 seconds with 4 set items

+ 204 poison damage over 6 seconds with 5 set items

+ 250-361 magic damage with a complete set]

The additional power of this weapon almost made Fei’s eyeballs pop out of his eye sockets.

Although he didn’t know what kind of statistics Semi-God-tier Combat Weapons and God-tier Combat Weapons would have if they were converted into the metrics in Diablo World, Fei knew that these statistics for [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] was insane!

Unfortunately, including [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher], Fei only had two set items. Therefore, the additive lightning, cold, poison, and magic damages couldn’t be realized. So far, only 211-397 fire damage could be used in battle.

However, Fei attention was soon attracted by something else.

Indestructible!!!!!

It meant that the durability of this weapon was infinite! It could handle all types of attacks and wouldn’t break!

It was an insane attribute!

If Fei had this hammer in his hand when fighting against Domenech’s [Sword of Fire Judgment], he might be able to block that strike using this hammer. His weapon wouldn’t be destroyed, and he wouldn’t be placed in the dangerous situation where he didn’t have anything to use to block the strike.

This weapon was the perfect god-tier item for the barbarian!

Only the great and violent physical strength of the barbarian could unleash its power to the maximum. With this hammer in hand, the barbarian would be able to use the fundamental physical strength to swing the hammer and destroy enemies. Even the gods couldn’t harm this weapon!

With the hammer in hand, Fei closed his eyes and caressed it. He felt like he had sensed its eagerness for battle. This weapon had its own soul, and it was made for combat.

“Don’t worry. In my hand, you will get to drink the blood of powerful masters!”

Fei opened his eyes and placed [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] into his weapon slot. He instantly felt like he became one with the hammer, and he could summon it easily.

When he lightly swung the hammer, a series of thunder-like and dragon roar-like noises sounded, and it felt like even the space was being torn open.
