Hail the King

Chapter 888: Completely Passing Barbarian Mode (Part One)

Chambord City hosted a grand party, and the entire city fell into a crazy and excited state, celebrating the king’s return.

Right now, the Chambord Kingdom was no longer that poor and weak kingdom which had been struggling on the verge of death. Under the careful management of the new officials that Fei promoted, the wealth of the kingdom increased drastically. Right now, it was at the top of Zenit, and the Royal Family of Zenit might not be able to rival it.

In the beginning, the Chambord Kingdom had a meager population and farmland, so agriculture wasn’t the main industry. After Chambord recruited and tamed all the powerful demon beasts five to six kilometers into the forests and mountains behind the city, making them into a demon beast legion, these ferocious beasts were restricted and didn’t hurt people anymore. Finally, the abundant resources in the forests and mountains opened their arms to humans.

For the last year or so, many merchant caravans and mercenary groups stationed in Chambord City, and the adventurers ventured into the forests and mountains. They obtained many rare and precious herbs and plants, and they hunted many low-level demon beasts and obtained many demonic cores. As a result, it brought prosperity to Chambord and provided a lot of taxes. Gradually, Chambord City was becoming the commerce center of the northern region of Zenit.

Most of the people living in this ancient city were original citizens of the kingdom, and the rest were the wealthy and prestigious merchants, elite mercenaries, and envoys from other kingdoms and empires.

However, even these high-level people didn’t dare to slight and be arrogant in front of the citizens of Chambord. Right now, Chambordians truly experienced a transformation and flipped their situation; they were confident wherever they went.

The Law of the Twelves Tables were being executed to the teeth, and the Saint Seiyas instantly crushed the foreign nobles and warriors who bullied the citizens of Chambord. After that, no one dared to challenge Chambord’s laws again.

In this chaotic world, Chambord City was becoming a paradise that many people wanted to go to.

After the grand celebration, Fei returned to the city and stayed very low-key.

The envoys in the city heard that the king had returned, and they all wanted to meet him. Also, many prominent merchants and mercenary group leaders wanted to experience the presence of this legendary king and establish some friendships. However, they all failed in their attempts.

Fei was busy for the next four to five days. During the day, Fei had to take care of many administrative issues that had been stacking up for the last while, teach people like Inzagi, Luffy, and the other four orphans from Hot Spring Gate, and go to Mad Scientists’ Laboratory to be ‘tortured’ by Akara and Cain. During the night, except for spending time with the two beautiful queens and doing what they like to do, he had to use most of his time to stay in Diablo World to level up and get more powerful.

Since the king was already so busy, he had no time to deal with these trivial matters.

On the fourth day after Fei returned to Chambord, Fei and Valkyrie Elena got together and pushed the plot in Hell Mode of Diablo World to the last quest. After killing many powerful monsters, they got to the [Throne of Destruction].

The [Throne of Destruction] was a huge underground maze, and the dark-red air inside this place seemed like blood, filling every inch of the space.

In here, the laws were greatly suppressed, and the laws of nature and laws of power were completely different from the outside world. Demon Baal controlled this underground palace, and its enemies who entered this space would get their strengths greatly weakened. This was Baal’s home court, and the controller could increase its power by many folds.

Even though Fei had defeated the three Ancients Ones of Barbarian on the [Arreat Summit] in the challenge and obtained their powerful inheritance that was on the peak Burning Sun Realm, becoming a Hell Mode level 99 Barbarian, he still had to be very careful in the [Throne of Destruction] when Elena, who was a Hell Mode level 85 Magic Archer with Paladin Bloodline, was with him.

Baal’s crazy laughter resonated inside the space, and all the Elite Bosses in Hell Mode were summoned by Baal again, appearing before Fei.

Without a doubt, this was going to be a hard battle.

After spending about four hours, Fei finally destroyed all the monsters in the [Throne of Destruction] and found the portal that connected to where Baal was hiding – [Worldstone Chamber].

The [Worldstone Chamber] was the final location in Diablo World, and the final boss, Baal, looked like an alien from the movie ‘Alien’. It mastered all kinds of skills such as teleportation and magic spells; it was hard to deal with.

What was more terrifying was that as the final boss in Diablo World, Baal was much more intelligent than other bosses, and it had more godly power. In fact, Baal’s strength was far beyond Fei’s expectation.

In the end, Fei had to resort to his potions. He used all his potions and barely depleted Baal’s HP without dying.

Even though Fei didn’t die, he paid a hefty price. Half of his body almost got destroyed, and his intestines were exposed in the air. On top of that, the bones in his arms, chest, and legs were all broken as well. His broken bones pierced through his muscles and skin, and all his injuries had terrifying ice frost on them.

If Fei didn’t have the vitality of a Sun-Class Lord, he would have died and got turned into a cold corpse.

Beside him, Valkyrie Elena was also severely injured. Her fingers that pulled on the bowstring were almost cut off by it.

Seeing Baal whining and falling onto the ground, many souls that were swallowed by it struggled out of its body, dancing in the air cheerfully.

Fei struggled to get up and grabbed the healing potions that Baal dropped, and he threw a bottle to Elena before drinking one himself. Then, his injuries were roughly healed, and he could move normally again.

Without a doubt, this was the closest that Fei had gotten to death in Diablo World; he almost got the answer to his question: would he die in the real world if he died in Diablo World?

Of course, in Diablo World, the risk and reward were proportional.

When Fei staggered and got up, a beam of golden light suddenly shot down from the sky and enveloped him, instantly healing all the injuries on his body.

As that cold and mysterious voice, which hadn’t appeared in a long time, sounded by Fei’s ear, his Barbarian character finally broke through level 99 and reached level 100.

Fei vaguely felt like he saw a new gate in front of him, and it was about to open. However, he was still one bit further away from reaching it.

“If I open this gate, I should be able to step into the Demi-God Realm. However, this golden finger is coming to an end. I can’t kill monsters and level up my Barbarian character more; it is impossible.”

Fei’s fear came true.

After passing Hell Mode, Fei’s strength still stayed at peak Burning Sun Realm and couldn’t progress any further.

After getting used to the new strength in his body, Fei turned around and found that Valkyrie Elena also leveled up. Three beams of golden light shot down from the sky consecutively, meaning that she leveled up three times, reaching Hell Mode level 88. After being enveloped by the golden light beams, Elena also healed up.

Seeing this, Fei relaxed and looked toward Baal’s corpse.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he was elated.
