226 - Ch 230

Chapter 226: Any Other Reasons?

Fei only took a step forward, but the force coming off him was pressuring everyone else like a tsunami. The few mercenaries of the Blood-edge mercenary group who survived the fireballs all kneeled onto the ground uncontrollably as they felt their fragility when faced with this force.

Most of these mercenaries were weak. They only had a faint sense of warrior energy, and they weren't even star ranked warriors. Under Fei's barbaric power that was equivalent to a six star warrior, most of their bones broke just under the pressure. They were as weak as chicken that encountered a tiger.

As Fei walked closer, a series of balloon exploding noises sounded. Other than Captain Harry, who had the two huge hammers, all the other mercenaries were smashed into piles of meat paste by an invisible force. They didn't even have the chance to scream.

This level of power was devastating.

The crowd outside of the camp were all shocked to see this. They opened their mouth and eyes wide, and they looked like Fei as if they saw a demon king arriving from hell.

As Fei's Barbarian level increased and got more battling experience, Fei's control of Barbarian's physical force had reached another level. As he walked, none of his force was exerted onto the people of the Byzantine Kingdom. Without even moving his body, no one except Captain Harry could make him move.

"You...Who are you?" Harry unleashed all of his power and struggled to stand up. He shouted as fear took over, "We are members of Blood-edge Mercenary Group, how dare you attack us?"

"I'm killing Blood-edge bastards for a reason." Fei sneered. He didn't waste any more words and punched out directly.

Harry raised his hammers and wanted to defend.

But the booming noise sounded. Chipped iron pieces flew in the air, and the invincible black iron hammers looked as if they were weak like paper. They weren't the only things that were destroyed. Harry's arms were also destroyed. Then, the huge amount of force went through this criminal who was threatening the Byzantine Kingdom a few seconds ago and turned him into a cloud of blood mist. The snow falling down around him was turned into red.

Only more than a dozen seconds had elapsed, and a team of Blood-edge Mercenaries who was capable of suppressing a small kingdom was wiped out. None of the team members was able to escape. The difference between the two parties was just too big.

Without a single drop of blood on him, Fei stood there quietly as he glanced through everyone with his cold and sharp stare. Finally, his eyes locked onto the young king of Byzantine.

"You... who are you?" After sensing the eyes of the Demon King like figure locking onto him, the young king forced himself to calm down as he protected the girl Izabella behind him.

Fei suddenly lowered his head and fell into a moment of silence; he didn't answer the question of this young man.

The atmosphere was really stifling.

No one in the camp nor in the crowd outside of the camp dared to move. In fact, they didn't even dare to breathe. They were scared that this powerful demon king like figure would instantly move and squish them into a pancake.

Soon, everything around the campsite was silent, and snow was falling down from the sky.

Suddenly, Fei raised his head.

He reached out, and an invisible force seized the young king of Byzantine. After pulling the young man close to him, a small ball of dark green liquid flew from Fei's palm into this young man's mouth.

"AHHAHA....Ouch...Ouch... what did you force me to eat? So painful!" The young king's body quickly started to shake violently in pain.

"Let him go... No!! Let him go, what did you do to him? You devil..."

Izabella's face was filled with terror. After seeing her lover being forced to drink the poison-like dark green liquid and starting to cry out in pain, her love for the young king overtook her fear of Fei as she tried to rush over and save her lover...

However, she was so weak that she couldn't get pass the invisible force field.

"You dirty woman, what are you doing? Do you want to offend this master warrior and bring disaster to the Byzantine Kingdom?" As the head minister, the fat man in purple was scared and mad at the same time. He smiled in flattery at Fei as he shouted, "Quick, someone stop that woman. Don't let her offend this great master."

A few guards who were loyal to the head minster walked up and dragged Izabella to the back without saying anything.

At this time, the young king who was stabilized in mid-air by this invisible force was struggling and crying even more violently. His entire body turned to the dark green color, and he looked like a terrifying monster. With his veins bulging, his blood vessels looked like they were about to burst. His handsome face also twitched and changed shape with the intolerable amount of pain. His voice also got hoarse as he gradually lost strength to even resist.

This terrifying scene made everyone in the crowd shiver subconsciously.

By just looking at the expression of the young king, they would clearly understand what kind of experience the king was going through. Now, everyone was looking at Fei with a different look. On top of respect, now they also viewed Fei as a mentally sick man.

However, more people was feeling lucky.

They were glad that this devil like man didn't choose them as the target of torture. Otherwise, they may have already bit their tongues to commit suicide. Now, they were all staring at the young king with pity in their eyes.

But at this moment, things turned.

Not sure when, but the greenness on the young king's body started to disappear. Except the sweat on his body, no trace of what happened couldn't be found on him. Without the sweat, people would have thought that they were hallucinating.

Puff!

Fei waved his hand and the force that seized the young king disappeared; the king fell directly onto the ground.

"Your majesty….. your majesty, are you ok? You are fine? You scared me..." Not sure where the girl got the strength from, but she got free from the guards and rushed to the side of the young king. After she cried in surprise and happiness, she turned around and kneeled in front of Fei. She begged, "Please, I beg you. Please don't torture him anymore..."

Her tone was so desperate and sad that the people in the crowd also had tears in their eyes after hearing that.

"Ah... what happened? I….. this is power... I'm filled with power!"

A gasp suddenly sounded. The young king of Byzantine suddenly realized something as he stared at his hands. He couldn't believe it as he sensed the power flowing in him. After a moment of stun, he suddenly struck the ground with one of his fists. Boom! The hard ground cracked, and a spider web like dent appeared on the ground.

Everyone who saw this had their mouths wide open.

"What happened?" They all thought.

"HOW?"

"Miracle!"

"Wonder!"

The young king's strength somehow advanced! From his punch, people were able to tell that he was on the level of a two star warrior. A few moments ago, this king was only a one star warrior. What happened?

Some smart people in the crowd already stared at the man in the cloak; they had got a hang of everything after linking everything together.

"This..." The young king of Byzantine who was surprised knew what was going. After he helped his lover to stand up, he wanted to kneel down and thank this man. However, he found that he wouldn't bend his kneels at all; an invisible force was stopping him from doing so.

"We are on the same level as kings. You shouldn't kneel down to thank me." Fei said lightly.

"Then... thank you, I..." The young king who was filled with gratitude was so excited that he couldn't put his speech together. After all, the man in front of him didn't just kill the members of Blood-edge ground to save them, the man also used some magical method to help him with his advancement; but he had misunderstood the man's intent.

"Mister, please forgive me for my ignorance. I didn't know..." The young girl stopped crying and smiled. With some tears still in her eyes, she bowed at Fei to apologize.

Fei smiled back, he didn't mind it at all. He then turned around and asked the young king, "Under that kind of pain, you could choose to bite your tongue and commit suicide, why did you resist?"

"Because the Byzantine Kingdom still needs me. I can't abandon my loyal subjects..."

Fei shook his head as he continued, "Other than that, is there anything else?"

"I..." The young king paused for a second and responded, "I have to live." He clenched his fists and said, "I have to protect Izabella. Without me, she couldn't survive in this world!"

Fei laughed out loud at this answer.

Chapter 227: Special gifts

"I like your answer. Wanting to protect something is a very powerful source of energy that can make you fearless in the face of all difficulties, and it will stimulate your potential so that you become more powerful. Therefore, young King, don't give up. To protect someone is your mission, and this is a reason to be proud of. In my opinion, you are very lucky to have this girl, you should take good care of her!"

After he finished talking, Fei laughed and turned away.

"Mister, may I know your name? From now on, whenever you need any help or assistance from me, the Byzantine Kingdom and I are willing to help you, no matter the cost…" The young King saw Fei start to leave, and he hurriedly chased after Fei.

Fei took a long walk and didn't look back, "Hahaha, the King of Byzantine, if you are interested, you will soon know who I am."

The crowd made a path for Fei wherever he went.

Now, the people around were looking at the young King of Byzantine with different eyes. The sympathy and compassion that were in their eyes no longer existed, but pure envy and jealousy appeared. No one had even imagined this dramatic turn of events. This unlucky King, not only did he live, but he also managed to have his strength increased tremendously. Moreover, he also made a super powerful friend. This was simply luck falling from Heaven! For a time, everyone dreamed to be the young King of Byzantine, so that they could get in touch with the superhero in front of them.

However, just then, Fei suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at the fat middle-aged man wearing a purple gown, Eric, frowned his eyebrows and asked, "Are you the head minister of the Byzantine Kingdom?"

The purple robed fat man Eric thought that Fei wanted to have a word with him. He was overjoyed and immediately walked towards Fei as he replied, "Yes, Lord, I am, my name is … …"

Pong!

With twenty meters apart, Fei suddenly blasted a punch at Eric.

With a muffled Sound, this guy who always attempted to flatter the people around and tried to scheme behind people's backs was instantly transformed into a smashed watermelon.

The crowd was blown away.

Fei didn't like this person.

Eric switched his faces just like the hookers switching their pants in the brothel. Fei easily thought of that ambivalent and manipulative Bazzer, the head minister of Chambord. Based on Eric's behavior and his previous acts, he was obviously not a good guy. Killing Eric may instead help the young King.

After he had finished all of this, Fei laughed. His clothes were fluttering, and his black cloak was flying in the wind. Fei's figure flashed at a very fast speed and disappeared in the vast darkness and snow.

In the Byzantine Kingdom's camp, Eric's body was left in the middle of a group of stunned people.

...

After leaving the Byzantine's camp, Fei did not continue to stroll and look around. He soon returned to Chambord's Camp.

At this time, the night had come. The gathering crowd had gradually gone away. The thick silver snow had covered everything under the sky including the entire campsite. Within the ten kilometers radius, the camp noises had gradually stopped. The only sound that could be heard was the snow drifting down from the sky as a gentle wind blew. Within four days, the Military Practice would officially begin. The peaceful drifting of snow was like the calm before the storm.

In Chambord's camp, there were solders practicing in the snow. Fei did not disturb them and went straight to the Magic Tent located in the center of the camp. He opened the curtain at the gate and went inside. The hollow crystal magic lanterns had lightened up the entire camp, and the silver light warmed the people's hearts and made everyone feel sweet and peaceful.

"Alexander, you're back," Angela said. She was embroidering something in front of the lamp as she saw Fei flying into the camp. She approached Fei with a smile of surprise; after taking Fei's snow-covered cloak over and hanging it neatly on the hanger just like a gentle and thoughtful little wife, she tapped away the dust on Fei's body and asked Emma to get a bowl of hot soup for Fei.

Fei felt a sense of happiness.

"Come on, let's see. I've got some interesting presents for the both of you," Fei said. He then took the presents out that were previously bought from the stores from the storage rings and placed them all on the table.

"Wow, a pretty fur coat! Oh, this crystal mask is beautiful as well, ah, thank you, Alexander!"

Angela and Emma still were little girls at heart. These gifts were not precious, but they were still somewhat fun, rare and interesting, especially since they were picked by Fei. The two girls looked cheered up by these small gifts.

"Hey, what's this thing? It looks weird!"

Angela suddenly exclaimed and then picked one of the pineapple-shaped oval small stones out of the small gift pile and held it in her hands. She looked surprised as if she had discovered treasure.

"Ha, there are another two here!" The little Lolita Emma also found the other two stones. She said as she was frustrated after staring at it for a long time: "Well, it seems like nothing special. Just like two useless hard stone eggs! "

Fei felt a little bit embarrassed. He thought: "This little girl is so blunt and straightforward." He almost felt a little regret as he took out these mysterious old stones that the old man said he got from some Mythical Ruins.

"No, this stone seems like it contains life. I can feel it." Angela carefully held the piece of oval stone by her jade-like ears while quietly listened. Soon, her brow wrinkled as she frowned: "Strange ah, I can clearly feel something that seems to call from inside, but as I get closer, that feeling is gone." She said.

"Well, Angela, you can investigate into them further. If you like, you can keep these three stone eggs!" Angela's behavior made Fei wonder if the stone eggs possessed some secrets. The old man felt very mysterious to him, and perhaps these three stone eggs really had some linkages or connections with Fei's own Beautiful fiancée who had an unparalleled affinity for animals and plants.

"Thank you, Alexander!" Angela liked this gift very much, and she found a delicate, soft, fire-insulated magical box to store the three pineapple-shaped eggs in for safekeeping.

"Oh, yes, your majesty, after you left the camp, there were a lot of royalty and important people from the imperial capital coming to visit you with gifts. Since you didn't come back, these people dropped off their gifts here and left." The Blonde little Loli Emma remembered something as she opened the curtain on the right side of a magical tent. It looked like a hill of treasures in the back of the curtain as it was made from with a variety of exquisite magic armors, powerful magical swords, magic training scrolls and warrior energy training scroll in precious boxes, as well as a variety of other valuable gifts.

"These people understand what my preferences are. If I was still the poor Chambord King, this armor and weapons is very alluring to me… …" Fei touched his chin and said.

Suddenly, he remembered what Harry Redknapp, one of the supervisors of the Soros Merchant Group, had predicted. Harry predicted that after the battle of Dual-Towers Mountains, Fei would surely become famous in the imperial capital. Originally, Fei thought that he was just challenged by the seventh executive knight, and these important people from different groups may just wait-and-see. Fei didn't realize that some forces and groups had begun 'advance investment' in him.

"Haha, your majesty, there were some gifts sent to you that you will definitely love." The blonde little Emma squeezed her eyes.

"Oh?" Fei was a little curious by the look of Emma.

The little Loli Emma turned around and got out of the tent. After a while, she opened the curtains and came back with four beautiful young girls behind, all dressed in a tight white gauze with perfect body shapes. They were wearing snake-shaped gold exquisite armbands, and they were apparently well-trained and expertly dressed. Looking at their lovely movements with timid expressions, it was easy to arouse desire in any man.

"Who sent them?" Fei felt a glimmer of curiosity.

"It's the Blood-edge Mercenary Group, on behalf of so-called the Fellon family from St. Petersburg ..." Angela saved the three large pineapple-shaped stones, turned, and smiled back at Fei as she explained: "I know that Chambord has a feud with the Blood-edge Mercenary Group, and the Fellon Family is not easy to deal with either. I had asked the four girls privately and realized that they had been kidnapped by the Blood-edge before and were taken as gifts. The girls' life experiences are all very sad. If we returned them back, their fate may be worse, so I decided to keep them with us!"

"Well, you handled this matter well!" Fei was very satisfied with what Angela did.

Angela smiled and pointed at the gifts at the door as she continued: "For these gifts, I do not know that which ones are acceptable, so I have labeled each one of the gifts with where they came from. If you do not want to receive these gifts, Alexander, I can send someone tomorrow to return them."

"Hahaha, these are free gifts, why don't you accept them? If someone gives you free food and sends it to your mouth, why vomit it back?" Fei smiled and hugged his fiancée, "These gifts, we will award them to the soldiers tomorrow. After leaving Chambord City, they must be exhausted. They deserve it."

"Well…" Angela was getting used to her Majesty and was not as shy as before.

"As for them …" Fei looked at the four timid-looking girls waiting for their fates and said, "Angela, I will leave all of them to you. I have a battle with the seventh executive knight at the first Sword-Testing stage, so I need to prepare for it in the evening. Do not let people bother me, and you should also sleep early tonight. If there are any other things that need to be arranged, Angela, you can deal with them on behalf of me!"

Fei finished talking, kissed the bright forehead of his fiancée, and turned to the left side of the tent.

Soon, the sky-blue portal appeared and Fei stepped into it, instantly disappearing in place.

Chapter 228: The New Path

After entering Diablo World, Fei went to the [Rogue Encampment] first and found Elena. Every time they met, they would take some time to work on their relationship. After that, they talked about Chambord.

After Fei constructed a small teleport portal in the [City of Heroes] in the back mountain. The people in the [Rogue Encampment] were able to go to Chambord for 4 hours a day and teach them and guide them on further constructions. Due to this, Fei was able to know exactly what was going on back in Chambord with the help of Elena and the others. After hearing that Chambord was developing according to the plan he drew out without him there, he was satisfied and relieved at the same time.

"According to plan, Uncle Lampard and the others had left Chambord some time ago. If they are on time, they should be here tomorrow. Then, all the participants from Chambord would be here."

Fei thought to himself.

"Elena, starting tomorrow, you don't need to go to Chambord to train the soldiers. Come with me to the campsite in St. Petersburg. The competition is about to start and I want you to be a part of it. The competition is a great way for you to practice and improve your skills. What is even better is that you can get a better understanding of the world!"

"Really? That's great, Alexander." Elena was delighted to hear Fei's plan.

The past few weeks had been tough for Elena.

Although she was able to meet with Fei in the Diablo World at night, Fei was only able to stop at Diablo World for 4 hours. To Fei, these four hours were extremely important; he had to save every second of that time to kill monsters and improve his strength to be more prepared for the dangers in the real world. Therefore, he didn't allocate any of his time to Elena.

To Elena, after they got through the last obstacle between them in the back mountain, their relationship had developed fast. Like newlyweds, they should spend every second with each other. After knowing that she would be able to stand beside Fei in the "Promising World", she was very happy.

"Oh, right. I got some small gifts to give you."

Fei bought a lot of small items at the night market. He gave some to Angela and Emma, and he didn't forget the Valkyrie Elena who had been with him since the beginning. As Fei said that, he took out the items he prepared for the girl, and the girl was so surprised that her eyes teared up. She played with the items that Fei had for her in her hands as if they were the most valuable things in the world.

"Thank you, Alexander." Happiness filled the girl's heart.

The Valkyrie-like girl who wasn't scared of terrifying demons carefully put these not-too-expensive items away and then kissed Fei on the cheek. An electric shock instantly went through the king's heart.

Both Elena and Angela reacted in such a similar way when they received gifts; Fei felt a little guilty. After he came to this world, he had been thinking about how to get stronger and make Chambord Stronger; however, he had neglected the two most important girls in his life. He realized that he wasn't paying enough attention to the two girls who loved him and he loved dearly.

After organized everything at the [Rogue Encampment], Elena used the teleport portal and got back to Chambord to pass the command from Fei to Brook and Bast. Fei on the other hand decided to go to [Lut Gholein] with his Barbarian Mode and complete the quest – [The Summoner].

At the moment, his Barbarian character needed a little bit more experience to go to level 40. With the best level 6 Magic Items he could purchase from the NPC and the level 7 Green Weapons, he was powerful as ever. On top of that, he was very used to using the brutal physical strength of Barbarian. After everything was combined, he had the strength of a mid-tier six-star warrior.

Fei still needed to learn how to use every technique he knew smoothly and effectively. Also, one issue was bothering him. Despite the fact that Barbarian was powerful and could easily wipe out weak opponents, he couldn't stimulate his potential and power to deal explosive strikes like warriors in this world. His strength was very stable and couldn't temporarily jump up in level and challenge warriors on another level.

For this reason, Fei didn't enter the third big map in Diablo, but rather, he came to [Arcane Sanctuary]; a place that he had already passed. He was trying to use the high-level demons and monsters to help him get into the right zone for the battle tomorrow.

Whoosh!

The cry of the swords resonated in the place.

Bam!

Huge transparent fist marks smashed through the sky on top of [Arcane Sanctuary] with the Barbarian skill – [Bash].

Monsters died one after another.

The [Lightning Spires] and [Night Bats] emitted electric currents after they died, and apes like [Blunderbores] spurted out a ton of blood as they were chopped through by Fei. The whines and cries filled the entire sanctuary, and it looked like the end of the world.

Fei was battling.

He was trying to train his ability to switch between different types of skills and abilities.

Through this method, he was trying to add special effects from Barbarian's skills into his self-created Sky-Frost Fist.

His level 39 Barbarian had learned quite a lot of skills under the following three categories: [Combat Skills], [Combat Masteries], and [War Cries].

Under [Combat Skills], he learned [Double Swing] which could attack two targets at the same time or attach the same target twice, and [Bash] which would instantly deal three times the damage after striking an opponent; there was also a stun effect where the opponent would be stunned for a short period of time. The skill [Concentration] allowed the barbarian to increase the damage as well as the accuracy of an attack, and [Leap] was being used by Fei as a movement type Qinggong kungfu technique where he could move and travel a lot faster.

Under [Combat Masteries], except [Sword Masteries], [Axe Masteries], and [Polearm Masteries], he learned [Iron Skin] which increased his defense and [Increased Speed] which added to the overall effectiveness of the barbarian character.

Under [War Cries], he learned [Howl], [Find Potion], [Shout], [Taunt], and [Battle Cry]. Each of these skills had magical effects, and Fei's Sky-Frost Fist would definitely increase in power if he could merge the effects of these skills into it.

In the last four hours, Fei was trying to do everything he could.

This was something that he didn't even imagine in his previous gaming life, but he was getting some progress. After fighting with the Golden Sun Knight, the number one young warrior of Hot Spring Gate Dillies, and the mysterious six star warrior assassin, he had accumulated a ton of experience. He was currently at a tipping point; if he could get through it, he would be able to find the perfect way to merge everything.

A new path for Fei to cultivate was slowly showing itself to Fei.

Tink!

A crisp sound suddenly sounded beside Fei's ear. Fei who was under the enlightenment was suddenly awakened from it. A white beam of light came down from the sky and enveloped him, and the comfortable sensation covered the wounds on his body. The fatigue and the pain he was feeling quickly disappeared.

At this critical time, his Barbarian Character leveled up again.

After four hours of killing, the last bit of experience points was gained, and Fei's Barbarian Character increased from level 39 to level 40. He gained a few more attribute points and skills points; with this in hand, he was more confident in the fight tomorrow.

...

...

The next day.

After a night of snow, the sun was up in the sky and shining down on the ground.

The campsites, the Moro Mountains, the tall magic towers, and the Martial Saint Mountain behind the Emperor's Palace were all covered with a light layer of silver silk. The scenery looked magical and beautiful.

In the middle of the campsite.

There was the number one sword-testing stage which was the largest: it was more than a hundred meters in diameter, and it looked like a Colosseum.

As soon as the sun came up from the horizon, a ton of people already started to rush to here and seat all around the stage. Today, the famous young king of Chambord was about to face off the older generation warrior – number seven Executive Knight Kelud at noon.

It was rumored that both master warriors were at least six-star warriors. A duel between warriors on this level hadn't occurred in many years in Zenit.

Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Are you scared now?

To many warriors at Zenit, a battle between two six-star warriors was rare to see. Such a duel was a popular event that would ignite their interest and curiosity since witnessing such battles would bring them unexpected gains in terms of understanding fighting. To other kings and high-level officials of Zenit, such an event would attract a lot of people, and it was a great opportunity for them to network and get to know the people who they wouldn't get to see regularly.

There was still 5 hours until the duel, and people had surrounded the number one Sword-Testing Stage in numerous layers. It was extremely crowded as they all wanted to watch the battle up close. When there was only an hour left, there was no space for another person anywhere except the VIP viewing stage prepared for the most important people in the empire.

As time passed, the crowd got more anxious.

Although both parties of the duel hadn't arrived, the surrounding atmosphere intensified. Within a kilometer radius from the stage, every single spot and corner was filled with people. Outside of this range, several wooden towers were constructed for the people who came late to view this fight.

Among the people, there was a small pathway of less than 3 meters in width for both dueling parties to arrive.

The knights belonging to the seventh Knight Tower of Imperial Knight Palace were fully equipped; they separated the crowd as they made another pathway for the important people of the Empire to get onto the VIP viewing stage. The fifty Sword-Testing Stages were set up by the military in advance. If there were conflicts between the warriors from difference kingdoms, they weren't allowed to fight in private; they could, however, arrange for a duel to the death on the Sword-Testing Stages.

Every one of the Sword-Testing Stage was made from huge pieces of rocks and were engraved with magic arrays by high-level mages. The magic arrays were powered by a ton of magic crystals to ensure the power of the protection shields extended from the magic arrays. These stages guaranteed that the powers from the warriors during fights wouldn't deal damage to Sword-Testing Stages. This number one Sword-Testing Stage had a magic array set up by the number one royal mage – Capdevila. Under the 100% empowerment from the crystals, it was able to hold up against a strike from a seven star warrior or mage.

As the sun raised higher, the crowd got even more anxious.

The big casinos and merchant groups had already set out rules and gambling odds. As the master warrior from the older generation, people had more confidence in the seventh Executive Knight Kelud, and the ratio was in his favour. To nobles ladies and gentlemen whose lives lacked excitement, a death battle between two six star warriors was far more interesting than the death fights between gladiators. These people placed down a ton of bets, and then they arrived at the number on Sword-Testing Stage and waited for the duel.

Time passed slowly and steadily.

A series of clip-clop noises sounded as a fleet of people came from St. Petersburg's direction in the snow. With rectangular flags fluttering in the air, fully armored cavalry, this fleet of people came close to the Sword-Testing Stage with several magic carriages being protected in the middle.

"Ah, it's the Dean Family. They control one of the top ten battle legions in the empire – the [Eagle Wing Legion]. Do you see the young man in the set of armor engraved with eagles? He is the first in line of inheritance of the family – Dean Carzola, a genius mage ..." Someone said to his friend.

People started to gasp.

The set of cavaliers in armor engraved with eagles charged by the crowd and spilled the dirty water and mud to their sides. This dirty water appeared after some snow melted. However, no one in the crowd dared to show their anger. The magic carriage was floating in the air and was being dragged by several horses. When they reached the number one Sword-Testing Stage, several nobles ladies with makeup on walked out of the carriages and got onto the VIP viewing stage under the protection of the guards.

The Dean Family's appearance announced the arrival of a bunch of noble families that ordinary people couldn't even see on a regular day. A series of clip-clop noises sounded again with several groups of people appearing in sight.

Haughty knights and cavaliers with magic carriages dragged by magical beasts all appeared one after another.

"Hofff – "

As the ear-piercing roar sounded, six strange beasts that looked like tigers dragged three magic carriages pass by the crowd. These beasts were at least six meters tall and ten meters long, and the carriages were made from rare purple wood with gold trim on the outer layer, and it was enveloped in red magic flame. These beasts were so big and terrifying that some timid people started to scream when the beasts walked by them. These beasts were definitely magical, visible wind-element air-blades were circling around them.

"Look, it is the symbol of Flo Family. God, they are using level 5 Demon Beasts Rapid Tigers to drag their carriages! This is ... a beast like that cost at least 1,000 gold coins, and there are people who can't even get their hands on one!"

People who knew the in-and-outs shouted out as this brought a lot of surprises.

Boom!

The ground started to shake, and a formation of beasts that were larger than tigers appeared. These beasts were so big that they looked like small mountains. Every time they took a step forward, it caused a mini-earthquake. A knight with a black mask and a set of black metal armor stood on one of the beasts, and he protected a young and beautiful girl with a haughty temperament and a purple bearded elder up the VIP viewing stage...

"Look, it is Beag Family that controls the [Gigantic Force Legion], another one of the top ten battle legions of Zenit... these huge beasts are the unique battle beasts of the legion. They are very powerful! They can easily tear through mountains!"

"Look! Do you see that icy and beautiful girl? She is the only daughter of the current leader of the Beag Family – Beag Beyoncé. I heard that she is the favorite of the elder leader, and it's rumored that the man who marries this woman would get the financial and political support from Beag Family. She is the dream woman for a lot of men..."

"Really? God bless. If I can marry her..."

"You? Don't even think about it. This girl is a talented individual; she once said that whoever wants to get to her has to defeat her first..."

A series of gasps sounded in the crowd.

As the people in the crowd talked to each other, more and more nobles families who they would never see appeared on the VIP stage. As more and more influential figures appeared, the smart people in the crowd already sensed strange. Since so many super powers in the empire showed their faces, it meant that this battle was beyond everyone's imaginary scope.

"Whoosh-!"

Several dashes of light flashed through the sky.

The people in the crowd felt like their eyes blurred, and six more figures appeared on the VIP stage. These six figures were all enveloped in various strange yet powerful magic armors, and terrifying power surged from their bodies. People who weren't warriors or mages could also sense that they were special. As soon as these six people appeared, the beasts that were roaring and shouting under the stage all quieted down as if they were mice that saw a huge cat.

"They are the Executive Knights of Imperial Knight Palace! They are all top warriors who are on the same level as Kelud... God, I didn't expect them to appear….. Are they all here to support Kelud? If so, the King of Chambord is in trouble!" Someone murmured.

"They are the Second Executive Knight – [Massacre Knight] , Third Executive Knight – [Punishment Knight], Fourth Executive Knight – [Giant Blade Knight], Fifth Executive Knight- [Ruthless Knight], Sixth Executive Knight- [Radiant Knight], and Eighth Executive Knight- [White Cloud Knight]. Except the First Executive Knight- [Godly Knight], the Ninth Executive Knight- [Shadow Knight], and the Tenth Executive Knight- [Golden Sun Knight] who was defeated by king of Chambord, they are all here.... For so many years, this is the first time that they all showed themselves in public together!"

"Six six-star warriors! I am not hallucinating, right?"

"Aha, Radiant Knight Paroski, my idol..."

The appearance of the six Executive Knights instantly lit up the atmosphere. Each of the six man controlled a portion of the Imperial Knight Palace, and they deterred the 250 affiliated kingdoms of Zenit. Each one of them was like a god in the mind of warriors in the affiliated kingdoms, and these warriors might not even see them in their life time. The low-level warriors didn't expect to see them today! Adding Kelud to the number, they were able to see seven of the ten executive knights of Zenit! They were all excited.

The noble families and VIPs on the stage were also surprised; they didn't expect to see so many other forces here today as well. They didn't expect a duel would attract the attention of so many hidden high-level people!

Some people already started to think back and wonder if they had neglected something or this duel represented something bigger.

Finally, the sun was at the center of the sky.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing noise sounded as a bloody-red beam of light dashed towards the stage from the direction of Imperial Knight Palace. A soul-chilling blood sensation was left in the air as this light dashed through. People who sensed this felt like they were placed in a sea of blood and corpses; it was truly terrifying.

After the light went away, a tall and wild figure was standing on the number one Sword-Testing Stage.

[Bloodthirst Knight] Kelud.

The executive knight who ranked seventh among the top ten knights.

One of the two parties in this duel had appeared.

"King of Chambord, get over here and greet your death!" The bloody figure stood on the tallest stage and laughed out loud, "It is time, why aren't you here? Are you scared?" His tone was chilling and gloomy.

Chapter 230: The Wait

The humphing noise made by the seventh Executive Knight sounded over the noise made by tens of thousands of people. Everyone was waiting for the response of the King of Chambord.

However, one minute passed, two minutes passed... After more than a dozen minutes, the roar or trash talk that everyone was expecting to come from Chambord's Campsite didn't appear. The sunlight shone on the silver snow, and there was a long moment of silence as people were waiting for an response.

"Humph!"

After hearing nothing back from his opponent, the seventh executive knight didn't get angry as people expected. he only sneered and didn't do anything else. He stood calmly on the stage and closed his eyes to meditate. The bloody red warrior energy enveloping him made it hard for people to see his face clearly. Looking from a far, he looked semi-transparent. It was really strange.

This man was waiting.

To be exact, there were still ten minutes until noon.

The atmosphere around the stage was very intense.

Everyone knew that this seventh executive knight was mad.

No one around the first Sword-Testing Stage dared to speak loudly. Just the bloody sense coming off of this figure on the stage made them feel like they were standing in a pool of blood and corpses. People who were brave didn't dare to breathe heavily, and people who were timid were all pale from nervousness.

The name of the Bloodthirst Knight was so terrifying that everyone from the affiliated kingdoms feared him.

Even the influential figures sitting on the VIP seats didn't make any jokes, they remained silent in unison. The Imperial Knight Palace was the bloodiest and the darkest institute at Zenit. They were only under the direct command of the emperor, and they had the strict power to oversee all 250 affiliated kingdoms and all noble forces and families. They weren't restricted by the regular laws of the empire, and many famous and power kings of affiliated kingdoms and nobles were either punished or unjustly burned to death on the copper pillar in the palace after being accused by them. Even the members of the seven most influential noble families at Zenit were executed by them. Moreover, on the first Golden Pillar in the Imperial Knight Palace, three brothers of the emperor and four princes were killed by impalement for treason.

The prison in the Imperial Knight Palace represented cruelty and the darkest of deaths.

The seventh executive knight was named Bloodthirst Knight for a reason. He was tough and cruel like no others. The reason his golden metal element warrior energy turned red was because he crawled out of blood, stepped over numerous corpses, and absorbed the essence in the blood of his enemies. All ten executive knights were special and had their own uniqueness, but in terms of murderous spirit and cruelty, Kelud was number one!

Among millions of people at Zenit, the only people who weren't scared of the executive knights, who had that much power, were the emperor himself and the Martial Saint of Zenit.

"King of Chambord, how dare you?"

After a few more minutes, Second Executive Knight – [Massacre Knight] suddenly spoke. He was in a set of armor with a ton of sharps hooks welded onto the back, looking like a terrifying weapon himself. The helmet with two blades on the sides blocked his face, but his murderous eyes were exposed.

What he said had dropped the temperature in the area for a few degrees.

"A dog from a village can't handle this despite having some strength." The Fourth Executive Knight – [Giant Blade Knight] said. The Fifth Executive Knight- [Ruthless Knight] nodded as if he was agreeing with it. Beside them, the other three executive knights who were also in majestic magic armor and covered by all kinds of warrior powers maintained their silence. They looked at each other through their masks but didn't react.

On the VIP zone, some people had discovered that the six executive knights were somehow sending out a strange vibe. The six of the knights didn't sit close to each other. They seemed to be divided into two smaller groups!

"So the ten executive knights aren't as united as people think!" Some people thought. The sunlight got hotter and hotter and there were only three minutes away from exactly noon. Some people already started to think that the king of Chambord was too scared to show up. But at this moment.

A series of thunder-like clip-clopping noises sounded. The gate of St. Petersburg opened, and a group of cavalry knights charged out. In fact, there were so many of them that they looked like a huge dark cloud together. Different from the noble families before, these cavalry soldiers were only riding on normal horses. However, they were so in tune that they appeared more majestic and holy. In a few seconds, they had arrived by the stage.

"Cavalry knights from the Holy Church."

"What is happening? Why is the Holy Church interested in this fight?"

"Who came? It couldn't be Bishop himself, could it?"

It was the people on the VIP zone's turn to be surprised; even the six executive knights had senses of surprise flashing through their eyes. This was a simple duel, but it was still understandable for the executive knights to show up since one of their peers was in the duel. However, it was quite unexpected for the high-level people in the Holy Church to show up.

After these knights arrived, the stage got even more silent.

Under the stares, the simple yet noble black magic carriage stopped by the Sword-Testing Stage. There were no more movements; no one walked out of the carriage, and everything just seemed so strange and bizarre.

Finally, it was about noon. The time for the duel was about to arrive.

Suddenly, a dash of silver light came from the direction of St. Petersburg.

In everyone's surprise, it passed by the stage. In a blink of an eye, the light turned into a light figure in a white robe.

The man slowly landed on the stage, and everyone was able to get a good look at him. He had a feather fan glided with gold in one hand and a fancy golden wine cup in the other. With his black hair fluttering in the wind and a golden magic leather bag on his waist, he looked extremely fly. He was standing on the stage while fanning himself; he didn't look like he was affected by the Bloodthirst Knight at all.

"It's time for the duel, and the count down begins. If the King of Chambord doesn't show up in ten seconds, it would be treated as he is afraid, and he would lose!"

After chugging down the wine, the figure in white announced.

When he was talking, he didn't shout nor using any magic items. However, his voice somehow covered the chatting noises created by the tens thousands of people and clearly passed into everyone's ear. It felt like this man was speaking into their ears clearly, and his voice was so magical that everyone couldn't help but to listen carefully.

This man was the number one Travelling Poet of Zenit – Matt Razi. This man was very mysterious. He travelled around the continent and lived a playful lifestyle. He was very strong, but he never displayed his strength to others. In fact, no one doubted it since this poet who loved gold, swearing, and spotting out geniuses was a great friend with Emperor Yasin. He also had great relationship with the man on the Martial Saint Mountain.

According to the tradition, people could invite a famous traveling poet to the duel to be the judge. The shocking duel between two six star warriors was the best duel people could see in years, and people weren't that surprised to see this mysterious and famous traveling poet Matt Razi's appearance. The crowd was hyped up and stimulated.

"Ten... nine... eight... seven..."

Matt Razi kept on chugging the wine, but his voice somehow sounded clearly without using his mouth; it was as clear as a bell ring.

"Five... four... three... two..."

As the man was going to say the word "one", a loud thunder-like rumbling noises sounded from afar and was traveling towards the stage rapidly.

"He is here...King of Chambord is appearing!"

"Here he comes..."

"Damn! He is really brave enough to take on this challenge!!"

The shocking appearance made almost everyone around the stage stand up and look for the cause of this noise. They couldn't spot anything, but they sensed a force so great that made them have a hard time standing up straight. Many people staggered and fell as a great force passed by them from the above.

The sensation the King of Chambord was giving off wasn't any less the Seventh Executive Knight! It was below almost everyone's expectation!

"Humph!"

A cold sneer overtook the surprised noise made by the crowd. On the red figure on the stage lightly shook his shoulders.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The air-piercing noises sounded as four dash of sword energy shot towards the sources of that pressure mercilessly; these four dashes of sword energies were so powerful that the sky turned to red.

A figure finally showed itself in the air.

The figure blinked as it tried to dodge the four murderous strikes. This figure was so smooth that it would dodge the attack at the last possible second before getting struck. Theoretically, it was impossible for a human to change the direction in the air with using any outside help, but this man just did it easily.

After a series of afterimage was left in the air, a man stood straight on the stage.

"One..."

At the same time, the last syllable came out of Matt Razi's mouth. At this last possible second, the other party in the duel, King Alexander finally appeared!

The king of Chambord got on stage before the count down.

The duel was still in effect.
