Hail the King

Chapter 552: I’m the God in Here!

The bright sky, huge mountains, and green grasses were now all gone.

The world Fei was in right now was gloomy and isolated. Thick dark clouds were hanging low in the sky, and there was no wind. The atmosphere in here was desperate and sad.

Those alone weren’t shocking.

What was shocking was that the ground in this unique world was made from white bones! There were so many bones that the landmass looked endless like an ocean, and there were blue will-o’-the-wisps dancing around, adding more chilliness to the atmosphere.

Suddenly, as if they were commanded by something terrifying, the white bones started to move up and down like the waves in the ocean. The rough and ear-piercing bone-grinding noises sounded, adding more flavor to this dead and isolated world.

Visible streaks of grey mists appeared from the bones, creating numerous images where all kinds of creatures were screaming and howling before their death. The terrifying images could tear people’s minds and souls apart, scarring them for the rest of their lives.

The grey mist was undead energy, and this was a world of death.

It was Hazel Bank’s Sun Anomaly – [Path of the Grim Reaper].

Like a true spectator, Fei lied on [The Throne of Chaos] comfortably and took out drinks and delicious dishes from his storage ring. The battle consumed too much of his energy and power, and he had to replenish them. Little Raccoon sat on Fei’s lap and smiled as it held a bottle of wine and chewed on roasted meat.

With a set of black armor on him, the Undead Mage stood in the sky like a demon deity.

The red cape fluttered behind him quietly, looking like a pot of boiling blood.

Standing on the ground, Domenech swallowed his saliva and enveloped himself with an energy flame. As he tried to defend against the corrosion of the undead energy, he looked around and observed everything. Soon, he was shocked and desperate.

“You are an undead mage? Who are you? You can become a Sun-Class Lord as an undead mage; you must be infamous!”

Domenech discovered the real energy that his opponent had, and his heart sunk.

“My name is Hazel Bank,” the Undead Mage answered.

Domenech felt dizzy.

This name alone was mighty, and it almost instantly obliterated the last line of defense in his mind.

Hazel Bank was a senior elder at the [Undead Shrine], and he was one of the few elders who held a lot of power. Also, he was known as the man who was the closest to the Grim Reaper.

Although the Holy Church in the end crushed the [Undead Shrine], this man in front of him killed many top-tier masters of the Holy Church and escaped intact.

For more than 100 years now, the Holy Church saw him as a nail in its heart and tried to hunt him down. Wanted posters of him were everywhere on the continent.

However, every time he made an appearance, he only brought nightmares to the masters of the Holy Church who were after him.

Top-tier masters like Hazel Bank might have fallen below the Sun-Class due to the injuries over the years. However, once he came back to the realm of Sun-Class, his experience and techniques would allow him to defeat people like Domenech who were relatively inexperienced easily.

“King of Chambord!” Domenech suddenly thought of something and locked his eyes onto Fei. He shouted, “You dare to collude with an undead mage? As a [God’s Favorite Child], you dare to......”

“Your words are ruining the feel. We aren’t colluding; we are just partnering. Ok? It is just a partnership. On top of that, there is nothing strange about this,” Fei laughed as he ate a grape, “Everyone has their secrets. You can kill members of the Holy Church, and I can partner with an undead mage. What is strange about this?”

Domenech was at a loss for words.

“So, I must die today after knowing your secret?” Domenech focused his attention back onto Hazel Bank. He was shocked to hear this name since Hazel Bank was a Sun-Class Lord more than a hundred years ago, but he quickly calmed down somehow with the help of the insane pressure.

Hazel Bank didn’t reply, but the murderous spirit in his eyes told Domenech everything.

“Ok! Let me see how powerful the man who is the closest to the Grim Reaper is!” Domenech flew into the air. Orange flames rushed out of his body as if a volcano was erupting, and a huge orange fire sword that was about 800 meters long appeared as he chanted the obscure and mystic spell.

It was clear that Domenech was secretly preparing this spell when he was speaking to Fei and Hazel Bank; his casting speed was a lot faster than before.

“[Sword of Fire Judgment] ...... Strike!”

A vibration noise sounded, and the huge orange fire sword struck at Hazel Bank with force.

It was this strike that severely injured Fei. If it weren’t for the help from that mysterious stone pillar, the king might have been chopped in half. This technique sure was powerful!

However, Hazel Bank didn’t even move his eyelid.

Only when the orange fire sword was about to touch his forehead, he lightly reached out his hand. He grasped onto thin air, and a huge white bone sword jumped into his hand from the sea of bones; it was made from numerous pieces of white bones that were of various sizes.

“[Undead Furious Bone Sword] ...... Strike!”

As Hazel Bank shouted, the white bone sword moved even faster and blocked the orange fire sword before it could touch Hazel Bank’s forehead.

Boom!

A loud booming noise sounded after the two swords touched.

[Sword of Fire Judgment] that easily destroyed the set item [Bul-Kathos’ Children] couldn’t do anything to the white bone sword. It was stopped five centimeters away from Hazel Bank’s forehead, and it couldn’t move any further.

“You are too weak.”

Hazel Bank shook his head and said.

He raised his arm that was holding the huge white bone sword, and he easily pushed back the orange fire sword inch by inch. Even though Domenech roared and tried to strike down with more force, nothing was changed.

It was like a fight between a child and an adult; it was extremely one-sided.

Soon, the orange fire sword was pushed back by the white bone sword. As a series of crackling noises sounded, the orange fire sword shattered and returned to the pure fire elements before dispersing into the area.

Fei who was watching on [The Throne of Chaos] was shocked by this scene as well. The power Hazel Bank demonstrated was beyond the king’s expectation, and the fact that he easily dismantled the ultimate technique of another Sun-Class Lord was impressive.

“Is this the power of undead energy?” Domenech thought to himself as he backed off several meters. There was a streak of blood on his lips.

He was injured by the repulsion force in [Undead Furious Bone Sword], and he got a first-hand feel of the power of undead mages. It seemed like undead energy was a unique energy that was higher in level compared with the five basic elemental energies. No wonder it was said that the undead energy could harm the gods, and the undead mages were cursed and were hunted by the Holy Church.

Just from that encounter alone, Hazel Bank’s power made Domenech, who already lost more than half of his Sun-Class Core, feel desperate.

“Something darker than the sunset and tastier than the blood. Fire elements, listen to your servant’s wish! Concentrate on my hands...... Let’s merge our power...... I’m willing to use my life energy to ignite the fire god’s anger! Burn all the enemies......”

Domenech laughed with a crazy expression on his face.

“Ignite your core? Want to perish together? Too bad that I’m the god in here!” Hazel Bank was experienced, and he knew what Domenech wanted to do. He reached out his hands and started to chant.

The undead energy in this world started to move.

Suddenly, a huge white hand that was made from bones dashed out of the sea of bones and grabbed onto Domenech who was about to unleash his most destructive attack.

Then, more and more hands appeared and grabbed onto him.

Soon, Domenech was wrapped by mountains of bones; the No.1 Royal Mage of the Leon Empire was constrained entirely in there. Like chains, the white bones connected and locked onto each other, and the undead energy enforced those connections, making the seal even tighter.

In the end, a mountain that was more than 1,000 meters tall was formed.

The ultimate white bone prison!

Bam! Bam!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Soon, a series of loud explosion noises sounded within the bone mountain, and some fire could be seen through the tiny slits between bones.

Domenech self-detonated in there.

Even though the loud explosion shook the bone mountain, it didn’t collapse.

Three minutes later, the explosion quieted down, and the dense fire elements started to disperse into the air.

Like a candle that got blown out, Domenech’s fire of life was extinguished.
