Hail the King

However, that mysterious person didn’t want to explain it any further and closed his mouth, and others weren’t in a position to pursue that question.

Sometimes, a ridiculous reason was the most proper explanation.

On the second thought, with this mysterious person’s status and power, he no longer needed the wealth and natural treasures. Therefore, it made sense why he didn’t want anything within reason.

“But…… Who is this woman? She is able to attract this mysterious person, and he is willing to do so much to get her……” All the masters in the room couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of this woman whom this mysterious person was after.

Even though this mysterious person was enveloped by this silver energy, a dash of invisible light was stilling cast through it. As if a god was observing them, the masters in the room all lowered their heads subconsciously. This mysterious person completely controlled the atmosphere of the room, and he nodded and started to go into the details of the operation after seeing that no one objected.

……

-Diablo World-

Fei and Elena stood at the third level of [Worldstone Keep] and in front of the entrance to the [Throne of Destruction].

Bright red lights shined through the entrance and made it look like a pool of blood, bring chills to the people who saw it. Through this entrance, they could enter the [Throne of Destruction] where Baal was hiding.

In the [Throne of Destruction], Fei and Elena had to face all the monsters that were in Nightmare Mode. Since Baal was going to laugh and summon all these monsters that were all mini-bosses in their respective maps, Fei and Elena had to kill them first.

It was going to be a fierce battle.

Fei looked at Elena and told her to be careful, and then he walked into the entrance first.

As soon as he stepped his feet into the [Throne of Destruction], an indescribable stinky smell of blood rushed at Fei’s face, making him dizzy and sick.

Then, that evil red light shined on his body, lightly suppressing and weakening his power.

It turned out that the [Throne of Destruction] was numerous times more powerful in Nightmare Mode compared with Normal Mode, and it was almost close to a level of god’s realm.

The so-called [Throne of Destruction] was a bloody maze that wasn’t too big.

Monsters like [Blood Lord] that were as big as small hills and [Frozen Horror] that were shiny and powerful all attacked Fei as soon as he appeared.

There were monsters everywhere, and they were all insanely powerful.

The bloody battle began.

It was a tough battle, and it took Fei and Elena over an hour to clear the monsters in this area.

Then, they arrived at the back of this bloody maze, and the portal that connected to the last place in this world, [Worldstone Chamber], could be seen.

However, Baal was standing on the stone stairs that led to the portal. As it started to laugh crazily, it summoned numerous monsters to attack the two.

It was another lengthy and bloody process.

After more than two hours, Fei and Elena finally cleared the monsters.

It meant that they killed all the powerful monsters in this Nightmare Mode all over again. Even though it was scary, they weren’t in a lot of danger.

Although it was time-consuming, Fei and Elena got a lot of rewards.

During this process, the Valkyrie already became a level 96 magic archer, and her paladin bloodline increased to level 78. It was a huge jump! She was already a peak Full Moon Elite if she was in the real world right now.

Fei’s barbarian character received a ton of experience points as well.

He could clearly sense the inflow of energy into his body; he felt like a river of energy was stuffing him. Even though he was getting more and more powerful, his level didn’t break 99 and reach 100. It seemed like it was similar to Normal Mode. Only after he killed Baal in Nightmare Mode could he level up and enter Hell Mode.

Baal vanished into the portal after Fei killed all the demons that it summoned.

However, Fei didn’t follow it into the [Worldstone Chamber]. Instead, he used a [Town Portal Scroll] and went back to [Harrogath].

After getting their items repaired and their potions stocked up, they went back to the [Throne of Destruction] through the portal and entered the [Worldstone Chamber] through the portal in that maze. It was the final place in Nightmare Mode!

Baal who looked like an octopus was more than 100 meters tall, and bloody-red demonic energy enveloped it. Its powerful aura pressed down at Fei and Elena like a tsunami.

Baal was standing in the center of the [Worldstone Chamber], and several stone pathways and corridors led to the end of the world. Beside the pathways and corridors were endless space, and one could see the stars, the nebulae, and the cosmos from here.

This was the world that belonged to demons and gods; the mortal world couldn’t be compared to it!

“Hahahaha! Adventurer! I have been waiting for you! Do you really think that you could defeat me? My power is awakening, and the glory of hell is about to arrive! Don’t get happy so soon! Ants! This isn’t the final battle! The ending is far from here, hahaha!

Baal’s crazy laughter sounded by Fei’s ears like thunder, and Fei heard a little emotion in its voice. In fact, Baal sounded a little cunning.

Fei frowned; the situation was a little different from his anticipation.

This Baal in front of him had a holy and godly aura around it, and it wasn’t the type of power that could be obtained by mortals. It was numerous times more powerful than the Baal in Normal Mode, and it felt like Baal went from a monster to a god. Just the pressure Baal was emitting alone made Fei suffocate a little.

What made Fei worry was that this Baal seemed to have some intelligence. Unlike an NPC, it was far more powerful, and Fei knew that it was going to be a tough battle.

Everything was different from the computer game, and Fei had to prepare for unexpected changes.

……

Time quickly passed by, and the second day arrived.

It was the day of the King of Chambord’s wedding, and Chambord City was in an unprecedentedly festive atmosphere; all the citizens were happy.

Before the morning sun even climbed up the sky, Fei went up the peak of the east mountain with a few members of the royal family, a few high-ranking officials, and his two beautiful fiancées according to Chambord’s tradition.

As the first dash of golden sunlight shined on the peak, they paid respect to the former kings and the real God of War that people worshiped in the kingdom. Then, they remembered the soldiers who died for the kingdom in the last 30 years and visited their graveyard.

This was a private ceremony, so the outsiders such as envoys from other kingdoms and empires weren’t invited.

This ceremony was simple, and it was finished in less than an hour.

As Fei stood on the edge of the peak of east mountain, the wind fluttered his hair and robe, making him look handsome and heroic. As he looked down at the beautiful City of Chambord, Angela who was wearing a white dress to his left and Elena who was wearing a set of red and leisure leather armor to his right stole the spotlight of nature.

The beauties were by his sides, and the kingdom was within his grasp. This was what a hero wants!

Today, Chambord would be in a grand celebration, and all the troublemakers and clowns were going to make their moves.
