The Almighty Ring

After logging out of the game, Jiang Fei did not immediately begin his journey to the south pole. Instead, he began familiarizing himself with his newly obtained powers in the woods.

At that moment, Jiang Fei’s Energy Level was very close to Pinnacle Level 4. His combined capability had even reached Pinnacle Level 4. As long as he did not fight against China’s martial artists or other metahumans who had trained for years to reach the same level, Jiang Fei feared nobody. He was no longer afraid of fighting against Pinnacle Level 4 metahumans like Mutants or Lycanthropes who acquired their abilities purely because of their ancestry.

In order to get used to his new powers quickly, Jiang Fei started training by attacking everything around him. All objects around him had become his training targets.

After a day’s training, Jiang Fei had only managed to travel several miles. However, he had gotten quite comfortable with using his newfound powers. By nightfall, Jiang Fei made sure that 0541 would alert him in case of an emergency while he logged into the game once again.

After returning to the game, Jiang Fei first went to the City of Sinners to participate in two matches in the PvP arena. He then got himself ready to head over to the Nephilim King’s Palace.

As the two opponents Jiang Fei faced today had very common abilities, he did not take much time or effort to defeat them. However, when it was time to go to the Nephilim King’s Palace, Jiang Fei turned solemn.

Although Isabella had not died and had even evolved, 0541 had brought her out of the game into the new world. As far as the game was concerned, she was long dead. Therefore, Jiang Fei was not sure how he should approach the Nephilim King Augustus.

However, Jiang Fei knew he could not avoid Augustus forever. Moreover, Ou Yezi had tasked him with finding Augustus to retrieve a recipe. Therefore, he had no choice but to meet the Nephilim King.

Jiang Fei was no stranger to the Nephilim King’s Palace. In fact, the guards had long known him due to his relationship with their princess. Therefore, nobody even tried to stop him. Jiang Fei was able to meet the Nephilim King Augustus with ease.

At that moment, Augustus was not in the palace. As Jiang Fei was not an outsider, Augustus chose to meet him in the garden.

“Greetings, your majesty!” Jiang Fei bowed respectfully.

“Hmm…” The Nephilim King nodded.

“Bella, she…” Jiang Fei knew he could not keep Isabella’s death a secret forever. Therefore, he decided to tell the truth.

“Let me see her…” The Nephilim King waved his hand. He did not let Jiang Fei continue speaking.

“Alright!” Jiang Fei summoned Isabella with a wave of his hand. However, the Isabella before him was merely an empty shell. Although she could assist Jiang Fei in battle, she no longer had a soul.

“My poor child…” The Nephilim King sighed when he saw Isabella.

Although the King was heartless, Isabella was still his favorite daughter.

“It’s all my fault. I did not protect her well enough…” Jiang Fei said guiltily.

“Forget it… There’s no point in saying all this now. I only have one question for you. Will you avenge her?” The Nephilim waved his hand again. The sad look on his face disappeared as his expression became angry.

“Of course!” Jiang Fei said determinedly.

“Alright! I knew Isabella had made the right choice!” The Nephilim King Augustus said as he slammed his hand down on a book next to him.

“Your majesty, I am now occupied with the Naga race. Once I am done, the Merfolk will no longer have any concern. By then, we will be able to collude with them to fight against the Luminous Vatican. Moreover, we can even get the Dragon race involved,” Jiang Fei repeated what he told Emperor Poseidon to the Nephilim King.

“Alright! I already know that. Are you confident that you’ll succeed?” Augustus asked. As he had already conversed with Emperor Poseidon, he was not surprised by Jiang Fei’s plan.

“I will complete it no matter what!” Jiang Fei said with certainty.

“Great! If you need anything, let me know. I will do my best to help you!” Augustus nodded.

“Hmm… There actually is something that I need. My Instructor had asked me to retrieve a recipe he had handed over to you for safekeeping,” Jiang Fei said.

“Oh?! Have you reached the High-Tier Divine Blacksmith level?” Augustus was stunned. He had been holding onto the recipe from Ou Yezi for thousands of years. Of course he knew how high the requirements were to use to recipe.

“Yes!” Jiang Fei nodded.

“Did Ou Yezi pass the Cauldron of Creation to you as well?” The Nephilim King asked again. As he knew there was only a single chance of using the recipe, Jiang Fei could not possibly create the item successfully without the Cauldron of Creation’s 100% success rate.

“Yeah! My teacher had already given me the Cauldron of Creation!” Jiang Fei said.

“Great! Great! Great!” The Nephilim King repeated the same word thrice. At the same time, he looked as if he was deep in thought.

“Akatziris!” After a short moment, the Nephilim King called out as he wagged his finger at the screen behind him.

“Father!” Akatziris immediately walked out from behind the screen. Jiang Fei knew Akatziris was Isabella’s third oldest sister, stepdaughter to King Nephilim, as well as the commander of all the servants in the Nephilim King’s Palace.

“Retrieve the precious recipe from the Nephilim Queen!” The Nephilim King ordered.

“Yes, father!” Akatziris said and immediately walked off.

Jiang Fei chatted with the Nephilim King for approximately twenty minutes before Akatziris returned with a scroll on a golden tray.

Akatziris initially walked toward the Nephilim King with the scroll. However, the Nephilim signalled for her to approach Jiang Fei.

“Is this the scroll?” Jiang Fei asked as he was about to take the scroll.

“Hold right there!” The Nephilim King suddenly called out.

“Ahh?” Jiang Fei was stunned. He did not know what the Nephilim King was up to.

“Verdure Glider, although the relationship between you and Isabella had never been clarified, the entire Nephilim race and even the Dark Faction know that you are my son-in-law. Do you admit to this?” The Nephilim King suddenly asked.

“I do!” If he had been asked before, Jiang Fei might have tried to avoid it. However, ever since Isabella sacrificed her life for Jiang Fei, he had decided to accept Isabella. Therefore, he answered the question without hesitation.

“That’s great! Since you admit that you are my son-in-law, I shall bestow upon you another one of my unmarried daughters now that Isabella has died. What do you think of marrying Akatziris? If you agree, I will give you both Akatziris and the scroll!” The Nephilim King said.

“Ahh?!” Jiang Fei was shocked. He did not know why the Nephilim King had suddenly said all this.

The Nephilim King’s intention was very clear. The mysterious recipe and Akatziris came in a package. If Jiang Fei wanted the recipe, he would have to take Akatziris as well. Otherwise, he would have neither of them.

“Hehe, Ah Fei, Akatziris may be my stepdaughter, but she has the blood of a Succubus and therefore has even better looks than Isabella. Moreover, her capabilities have reached the Lower Overlord level. If you agree, I will even bestow upon her a Holy Item so that her battle power would be stronger than most Middle Overlords. She will be able to help you out in the future!” The Nephilim King added when he saw that Jiang Fei was hesitating.
