Hail the King

Chapter 921: Strangeness and the Passive Situation (Part One)

“Hillbilly, you have really angered me. Seriously angered me! Haha! Now, start praying!”

After being knocked away by Fei’s shield strike, this mysterious master fell into an uncontrollable rage. His voice resonated in the region, making the sky and ground shake.

When he spoke, visible sound waves dashed out of his mouth and expanded in all directions, creating transparent ripples through the area and making it look like the surface of the lake that was fluttered by the wind.

Even Fei was a little concerned about this master’s strength, let alone other Sun-Class Lords. If they were here in Fei’s place, they wouldn’t be able to bear anything. Their bodies would have been shattered into dust by the soundwaves by now.

“It is clear that this guy suppressed his strength. Right now, his strength level... is extremely close to the Demi-God Realm. I wonder if he has comprehended the power of realms,” Fei thought to himself, and he also noticed something that he overlooked before.

As a lightbulb went off in his head, he frowned as murderous spirit flashed in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, “Are you an Ormondian?”

This mysterious master used his native language in rage; his roars earlier were in the Ormondian language.

“Of course! My name is Reus!” the mysterious master said while emphasizing each word, “You now know my name. However, the price you have to pay is... death!”

“He is Reus!”

This man’s information instantly appeared in Fei’s head. From the intelligence reports that the [Letter Office] gathered, Fei learned that Reus was a talented genius of the Ormond Empire. Together with Prince Götze of Ormond, they were known as Dual Geniuses of Ormond. Both these men were young lords who were recognized by all the forces on the continent.

In the Southern Region of Azeroth, level 9 Bayern Empire that had dominated over the region for many years was defeated in multiple fronts, and it was heard that Reus and Götze of Ormond were the main reasons.

According to the reports, Reus was a wind-elemental genius warrior, and he had reached peak Burning Sun Realm many years ago. Now, no one knew what level he was on.

“So, you are a member of the Ormond Empire? This is great! You appeared in front of me without me looking! Now, it would be perfect if I take the blood of a young lord of Ormond as revenge for the death of my Chambordian citizens.”

Fei licked his lips and looked eager for battle.

When Prince Xanchua of Ormond ordered his giant Xuan’ge to attack Chambord City, it resulted in huge casualty for Chambord. That incident negatively impacted more than 100 families. Although Prince Xanchua, the perpetrator, was executed, Chambordians still remembered the pain that the Ormond Empire brought to them; this grudge stuck in the hearts of Chambordians like a thorn.

Since Fei had been busy, he didn’t have time to deal with it. But now, Reus came to provoke him, so Fei was planning to use this opportunity to teach the Ormondians a hard lesson.

At this thought, Fei grew murderous as well.

“Great! I will take care of the revenge for Prince Xanchua and Prince Gundogan today!”

As soon as Reus said that, he appeared right in front of Fei in a flash.

At that moment, he punched out many times. It was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t even see his fists move.

Feeling like a wind was blowing by, Fei only had time to lift the shield in his hand. Then, he was sent flying back, and the dense punching noises sounded afterward.

“So fast!” Fei was a little surprised.

Out of the seven classes in Diablo World, the Paladin character followed the path of powerful attack with lacked agility. Therefore, facing Reus who was a wind-elemental warrior that focused on agility and speed, Fei’s Paladin character was at a disadvantage.

All of this was within Fei’s expectation. Even though this was the case, Fei was still shocked by Reus’ speed.

While Fei was still falling from the sky, Reus already caught up and appeared in front of the king again.

Many green energy fists flew down like meteorites, repeatedly striking Fei. On the surface, it seemed like Fei was a passive punching bag. He was knocked back by his opponent continuously, and he fell into his opponent’s battle rhythm, unable to adjust and reset.

Reus’ control of his own fists was very sharp; not even the tiniest bit of energy was spilled. He instantly punched out tens of thousands of times, and each punch accurately hit Fei’s body; no energy was wasted.

To the people who were watching the battle on the ground, Reus’ control saved their lives. If any bit of Reus’ strength was sent to the ground, half of Dixie City would have collapsed, and more than half of Alanians would have died in this incident.

However, it seemed like no one noticed that now. Everyone on the ground looked up and paid close attention to the god-level battle that was happening in the sky. Right now, Human Emperor Alexander of the North was in a passive situation, and all the soldiers of Chambord and Alanians watched the battle with their hearts in their throats.

Unfortunately, this battle was too quick. The scenes that the people on the ground caught happened four to five seconds ago.

The only person on the ground who could barely catch up with the battle in the sky was Undead Mage Hazel Bank. This elder of the [Undead Godly Palace], who used to be far more powerful than Fei, didn’t even have time to admit that these two masters of the younger generation had surpassed him. Right now, he was thinking to himself, trying to figure out one thing.

“Why is this happening? Theoretically, even if Alexander is slower compared to Reus, he shouldn’t be in such a passive state. What is he waiting for?”

Hazel Bank found that Fei’s combat style was completely different from before. Instead of the wild, violent, and destructive combat style from before, Fei’s aura was holy and righteous, looking like a young god.

“Why is this happening? If I didn’t know that he is Alexander, I would think that he is a different person after sensing his aura after closing my eyes. Although he showcased the [God’s Favorite Child]’s aura, it was far weaker than this; it is like comparing small stars to the bright moon in the dark... This young man is mysterious. Although Reus is a famous young lord on the continent, and he is talented, he is going to have a hard time suppressing Alexander.”

After thinking about that, the Undead Mage wasn’t that worried about the man who was being chased in the sky and beaten like a punching bag.

...

“Hahaha! Is this all your strength? How can you be a young lord and be on the same level as me? Hahaha! What a joke!” Reus laughed hysterically, and a wicked expression appeared on his handsome face.

This young man seemed to have two personalities. He was cold and arrogant in most cases, but he was violent and crazy like a mad dragon when in battle.

While he spoke, many green energy fists dashed out of Reus’ shoulders. Since this young lord punched out so fast, it was hard to tell his arms apart from his shoulders, and the trajectories of his fists couldn’t be detected. Therefore, it seemed like his arms disappeared, and the energy fists flew out of his shoulders. It was tough to dodge his attacks.

“Hahahaha! What a poor hillbilly! I will completely obliterate you in front of your believers, putting an end to your pathetic life! Hahaha! How can a garbage like you be a young lord like me?”

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Many energy fists flew toward Fei like raindrops in a storm, completely enveloping the king. In the end, the energy fists dashed at Fei from all directions, and Reus’ crazy and wicked laughter also sounded from all directions.

“Hahaha! Why aren’t you fighting back? You are way too slow! How does it feel to get beaten? Does it hurt? Hahaha! Cry if you feel the pain!”

“Hahaha! I’m only using 70 percent of my strength, yet you can’t even fight back! Don’t disappoint me! I thought that I found an interesting toy, but who knew that you are so useless! You are no different from other masters who were famous but got destroyed by me!”

“Since you can’t make me feel any excitement, then die, trash toy!”

It seemed like Reus fell into an extremely violent state.
