Chapter 221: Cross of Fire

This man who suddenly appeared and stood by the corner of the sixth floor didn't even attempt to hide his identity. He was wearing a loose black robe and a brown belt made from rough cloth. His figure was about average, and his long black hair was loosely fluttering around his shoulders. He looked like an average person and didn't hide his face like the other assassins. From all Fei could tell, this man looked very normal, just like an average person.

Even if someone walked by him a thousand times, he wouldn't leave any significant impression behind.

This man somehow was standing there in the main hall as if he was there the whole time and Fei just didn't notice him.

Fei glanced at him and fixed his eyes on the weapon in this man's hand.

An execution sword!

The hilt was a thick cylinder, and the edge of the sword was a bunch of red rusted iron spikes. The sword was about 1.6 meters long, and didn't have a pointy top. It looked like a huge black rectangle sheet of metal that was sharpened from both sides, and there were two vicious back hooks at the top of the sword. This kind of sword was best for chopping, and it was primarily used on Azeroth Continent for execution of criminals. These swords were the most murderous and vicious.

This sword was being dragged by this person as if it was more than a thousand pounds heavy.

Fei first thought this man was a master warrior who was the back up of Paris. After all, not hiding the face and using such a heavy weapon didn't fit the characteristics of an assassin. However, Fei knew that he was wrong when he looked into this man's eyes.

It was the cruel eyes of death that a beast would have when it saw its prey.

Bloodthirsty!

Merciless!

This man was staring at Paris who was in the battle. Fei sensed that this man glanced at him as well. But maybe because this man didn't sense any warrior energy, this man stop paying attention to him.

Finally, this man stepped forward.

The sword was being dragged, and what was surprising was that the blade of the sword and the wood floor created sparks irregularly as if this man was dragging a mountain and not a sword on the ground.

Fei clearly felt that this man's power increased every time he took a step forward.

After the fifth step, this man was already on par with a five-star warrior.

The execution sword that was full of blood stains suddenly started to buzz and made a series of crisp cries. A sharp murderous spirit instantly filled the sixth floor. This sword suddenly seemed to have a life of its own. It was crying, asking, begging.... For the nurture of blood and flesh.

Paris who was in the battle sensed the danger.

Her green warrior energy exploded, and forced the three assassins to back off. Both of her hands drew out some mystic symbol in the air as she chanted. Two green saint birds flew out of her body as crisp bird cries filled the room. It made everyone feel like they were in a forest that was more than ten thousand years old, and the blonde girl in front of them was the goddess of the forest.

At the next moment, the green birds circled around Paris and pierced through two assassins who were wearing scale-armor and masks. The both of them turned into a cloud of blood mist, and Paris' sword moved and dashed through the last assassin's throat like a lightning bolt.

The man who was dragging the execution sword was calm. His face didn't even change expression as if those three assassins weren't his peers and were three dumb pigs.

Boom!

He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed onto the hilt with both of his hands as he chopped downward.

As the sword moved, a devastating force erupted from the blade of the sword and dashed towards Paris who was about five meters away. Although this force was invisible, the damage it dealt was real. Like a huge godly weapon, the floor, the tables, the pillars, and walls... everything was chopped in half in silence.

A powerful combat technique!

Paris' expression changed as the green warrior energy around her lit up again. She waved her hands, and the birds appeared again. It cried as it went up against the invisible force. In an explosion, the bird cried as it was torn appear, but the invisible force was still dashing towards Paris as if it was never stopped.

Puff!

The "evil woman" puked up blood as her body flew backward in the air.

The warrior energy that was protecting her body was instantly torn apart as well.

The difference between them was just too big. Paris couldn't even take on one strike.

The man walked up again and repeated the same movement. He chopped down with his sword again, and a devastating force dashed towards Paris' who hadn't even fallen to the ground yet. This man wasn't going to let her live.

"Your majesty, if you don't move, I will be dead!" At this critical moment, Paris wasn't nervous. A bright smile appeared on her face as she turned and looked at Fei, giving up all defense.

Boom!

A crystal and transparent fist mark that was about a meter cubed in volume appeared and smashed into this invisible force.

Crack!

The noise of glass breaking sounded. The invisible force was crushed, and the residual impact from the collision created a huge wind on the sixth floor. And like an earthquake, all the walls broke down, and all the chipped furniture were blown out of the building. A lot of gasps sounded outside, and all of the attention of the troops of all kingdoms at the campsites were drawn. The chilly moonlight was shining on the sixth floor, and Fei was already in front of Paris and blocked off all of the invisible energy!

"A master?" The man's pupil contracted.

"Yes!" The king nodded.

"Great, I like killing masters." A vicious smile appeared on this man's face as he licked his lips excitedly.

This time, he slowly raised his sword as his expression suddenly became solemn, like a devoted believer who was praying to god.

He ignored all the noises that people were making outside of the building and the sounds of reinforcement coming. All of his concentration was on his sword, and then an impressive force appeared on him. The rusty execution sword suddenly shone like a shiny crystal, and a silver phantom sword that was more than 30 meters long appeared behind it. It soared into the sky and pierced through the roof of the building. Like a torch at night, this silver light attracted a ton of attention.

"Punishment from Heaven ... Die!"

The silver phantom sword chopped down at Fei and Paris mercilessly. Before the blade hit them, the wind created by the strike already shook the building as if the building was about to be torn in half.

This man, he was a six-star warrior.

A serious expression appeared on Fei's face as he grabbed into the air. After two dashes of red flames appeared out of nowhere, the level 7 Set item [Bul-Kathos' Children] was being grasped in his hands.

Tink!

A light buzz!

The two swords [Bul-Kathos' Sacred Charge] and [Bul-Kathos' Tribal Guardian] was formed into a cross, and Fei guarded himself and Paris with these two swords over his head.

This level of defense looked weak against the phantom swords that were about 30 meters long.

It seemed like the last struggle Fei was putting up.

A smile appeared on the man's face.

But soon, this smile froze.

At the next moment, red flame burnt on the sword, and these two flames grew in the wind. Soon, the two blades turned into two fire swords that were 10 meters long each. Like a cross of fire, they lit up the nightly sky.

Boom!

The silver phantom sword collided with the cross of fire.

The sparks and colorful warrior energy exploded everywhere, and the eye-piercing lights made a lot of people close their eyes subconsciously.

The building that was trying its best to hold up against this level of battle finally cried as the whole building collapsed. The devastating waves of energy emitted to the surroundings in a spherical shape. The people who weren't out of the range got blew into the sky, and all the surrounding structures collapsed and shattered as if a nuclear bomb was dropped there!

"Go!"

Fei coiled his arm around Paris' waist as he leaped into the air to escape from the collapsing building.

A sweet bodily fragrance entered Fei's nose, and the smooth and soft sensation his arm was feeling through the white robe was fantastic. This beauty's temptation was fully demonstrated at this second.

However, none of these were on Fei's mind.

He smashed out his left fist more than thirty times, and a crystal-like fist mark was being formed in the air. Finally, a transparent fist mark that contained all the essence of a fist was formed, and it looked lively and powerful.

"Sky Frost Fist... One Strike One Kill!"

As Fei roared, the fist mark shook a little, and then it slowly accelerated and dashed toward the figure who was dashing away in the sky; the fist mark looked like a meteor that was created by a god.

"AHHHHH"

A scream sounded followed by a cloud of blood mist and chipped bones exploding in the sky like a firework.

At this time, Fei and Paris have landed on the ground.

The imperial guards quickly rushed by and protected Paris in the middle.

Woosh!

The rusty execution sword fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of Fei and Paris. After a few seconds, it chipped into several pieces of metal...

"Master, are you ok?"

"Master, I came too late, please penalize me!"

"Protect, Ms. Paris!"

The imperial guards all kneeled down around Paris as they cried out. They didn't even dare to breathe hard. The most important subordinate of Prince Dominguez was almost assassinated, and they were at fault. If Paris was actually killed, they might all become slave workers to calm the second prince's anger.

Not too far away, there were many corpses.

These assassins who were in scale-armor and had masks were almost all killed. The ones who were captured alive all committed suicide, not leaving any traces behind.

Chapter 222: Do one thing for me

"You can all get up. It's my own negligence that caused the situation today, and it is not your fault!" Paris was already out of Fei's arms. With the white dress, she looked untouchable. She lightly waved her hand calmly and pardoned the guards from their obligations as if nothing happened.

"Thank you, Ms. Paris!"

The imperial guards got up with cold sweat on their bodies as they looked at Fei with admiration, respect, and suspicion.

Although they saw that they came too late, everyone knew from the look of the huge silver phantom sword, the cross of fire, and the collapsed buildings that the assassins were very powerful. They wouldn't be much help even if they participated in the battle. They knew that the assassins were enough to wipe the entire team of imperial guards. If this young man in front of them didn't act, their Ms. Paris would be a cold corpse now.

However, the king of Chambord who liked showing off wasn't in the mood of enjoying the reactions from the guards.

He sighed as the red flames flashed by and took away his set items from the Diablo World. He then dusted the chipped wood and rocks off of his shoulder as he stared at the woman in front of him for a while. "Beauty, why do I have a weird feeling about this? Seems like you already know the assassins were coming here. I feel like I've been used by you again."

The beauty fixed her blonde hair as she giggled with the other hand over her mouth. She looked very pure and naïve. She only giggled and didn't admit or deny Fei's allegations.

"So the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying." Fei already knew the answer from the beauty's action.

"Haha, don't mind me. I actually don't want to use you to take out my political opponents. These assassins are not from any forces in Zenit." Paris knew what Fei was thinking about, so she explained.

"Not from Zenit?"

"Yeah. They appeared in St. Petersburg about two months ago, and they are so mysterious that no one was able to trace them. It seemed like they are here to assassinate key officials in the empire, and they have succeeded so far. More than a dozen officials and nobles in the empire have been assassinated. On top of that, both I and the elder princess Tanasha have faced attempts several times in the last few days. Although we were safe, we couldn't really find the root causes. These people are vicious and sly. They knew who the powerful warriors in the empire are, and they wouldn't try to assassinate someone when they didn't feel comfortable. I tried to trick them and trap them several times, but it all failed!"

When Paris got serious, her superficial and sexual presence disappeared completely. A holy and sincere expression appeared on her face as she smiled and explained to Fei. She looked very attractive at this moment.

"Oh, so you became more calculative and risked your own life to attract them? You only brought a few guards and no powerful warriors, but you came to such a noisy and popular place. You made them think that this was a rare opportunity so they would send their best assassins to kill you, but you invited me to come and used me to capture them all?"

Fei wasn't dumb. After hearing what Paris said, he knew what was going on.

"You are so smart." Paris giggled as she flattered Fei, "For some reason, although they are not from the empire, they knew what goes around the empire very well. They knew about the whereabouts of all master warriors here, so when I do bring them, the assassins wouldn't come. Your Majesty has the ability to kill them, and you just came to St. Petersburg and not many people know about you. The assassins won't think much of you, and that was why we were able to attract the assassins and kill them off!"

Fei rubbed his temples and thought, "Such a dangerous woman..."

"Haha, actually, since the king of Chambord killed the mysterious assassins who bothered the empire for long, Emperor Yasin would definitely reward you when he hears about it. This is a big credit, and you Alexander totally gained a ton tonight! Why the long face?"

From the "Your Majesty" to "King of Chambord" to "Alexander", the way Paris addressed Fei changed a lot. When she called him Alexander, it felt close and intimate as if they were old friends.

Fei thought about it and felt like this woman was right. He didn't lose anything.

However, the feeling of being used by this woman didn't feel good.

"I'm curious; what if I didn't come. Wouldn't you be seeking your own death?" Fei suddenly thought of a very important question.

"There isn't a perfect strategy in this world. Any decision comes with risks. Since you Alexander is so nice to that elder princess, why can't you be nicer to me? Am I less pretty that that pale elder princess? Haha, don't stare at me like that. If you didn't come, then I can only say that the luck was not on my side!" This beauty rolled her eyes as she said with a teasing and coquettish tone.

Fei knew this woman well, and he won't be fooled by her this easily. "I bet that even if I didn't come, you have your own way of dealing with these assassins."

"Haha, I didn't expect your majesty to know me this well. If you actually didn't come, then I can only flee and go to your campsite for protection. We could only change the battleground, but you will still fight for me! The only thing is that once the assassins get to your camp, your subordinates..." Paris laughed, "So I did give you a choice, and you made the right decision. The perfect ending!"

Damn!

This woman was really fearful.

If Fei didn't come, then the Chambord soldiers would be affected by this event.

Fei stared at her forcefully. After a short moment of silence, he rubbed his chin and said, "Let's put the rewards from Emperor Yasin aside. I just saved your life at that critical moment. Beauty, how are you going to thank your hero?"

"Hahaha, do you want me to give myself to you?" The sly beauty Paris said without hesitation despite the fact that her guards were close by. As if her true character was exposed, she said with a joking tone. However, her expression was very coquettish and yet naïve. Various temperaments appeared on her, and she looked like a blooming Datura flower. Even though people knew that this flower was poisonous, they were willing to pick it up due to its beauty.

However, Fei knew this woman well and didn't fall for her tricks.

Fei waved his hands and an invisible force loomed around them. This blocked sounds, and only they could hear their conversation.

"Before the competition, I'm going to wipe out the Blood-Edge Mercenary Group. I hope that I can bring my soldiers in without being questioned by the guards. Also, I don't want anyone else involved in this. Beauty, please arrange everything for me!"

"Hahaha, now I know. Alexander, you knew I was up to something, but you came anyway because you want this from me." Paris was really intelligent as well. She knew everything right away.

Fei smiled and continued, "Only a few people in St. Petersburg can do this, and you are one of them. Since you invited me here, I would come here more than willingly. Our relationships are formed on trades, and everything would be better if we make everything clear."

"I know that you are speaking the truth, I'm hurt by your words... Hehe, your request isn't hard to satisfy, and I can arrange it for you. However, the Blood-Edge Mercenary Group isn't that simple. There are many other hidden forces behind it, and one of them is the noble group – the Fellon Family. Alexander, you have to think everything through before you take action!"

"The Blood-Edge Mercenary Group must be eliminated!" Fei was very serious.

During their conversation, more and more people surrounded the building, and these people started to chat among themselves. The battle that was so impression shocked everyone in the campsites. The huge silver phantom sword and the cross of fire were visible from very far away, and everyone was still able to sense the residual energy of the battle from standing by the battleground. A lot of warriors came here and tried to sense more of this energy so it might help them to advance in the future.

Fei and Paris got onto a magic carriage rode by the imperial guards. Other guards separated the crowd, and the carriage was able to leave the place.

Many people knew that the man and the woman who got onto the carriage were the parties involved in the battle, but they were not sure if they should go up and ask since the imperial guards were standing by them. As they looked at the collapsed building, some smart ones knew more about it. Everyone knew that this Wind-Whisper Pub had the military of the empire behind it. However, the managers didn't stop the perpetrators and let them leave with a bunch of imperials guards protecting them. The information this leaked was very interesting.

Chapter 223: Warriors from all regions

"That man... is he the king of Chambord?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted as he felt like the man, who just stepped into the magic carriage guarded by imperial guards, looked familiar.

"Really?" Someone wondered.

"Yeah, it's him! I remember I saw the king of Chambord today at noon, and that young man with black hair was ..."

"But how can the king of Chambord be protected by the imperial guards?"

"Also, that huge silver sword and cross of fire, could it the techniques of King of Chambord and assassins?"

"Such a devastating force, and I can still sense the residual energy in the air. His strength is now beyond a six-star warrior; where is he now?"

"Since the King of Chambord's strength is beyond our expectations, then the duel between him and the seventh executive knight Kelud tomorrow at noon will be even more interesting! It's hard to predict who will win!"

As the crowd chatted among themselves, many warriors from various kingdoms sat down beside the ruined building and tried to concentrate and sense the residual power left by Fei and the other assassin. This level of battle was rare for low-level warriors to see; although they couldn't see it up close, the residual energy and the surge after the battle could give them inspiration. This was the best opportunity for them to try to advance their warrior energy further.

Other people who were more thoughtful looked at the magic carriage that was disappearing as their faces changed color.

Didn't matter if it was individual strength or power and influence, it seemed like the king of Chambord was beyond their imagination.

...

Imperial Martial Saint Mountain.

The mountain was located in St. Petersburg and right beside the Emperor's Palace. The mountain was like a sword that soared into the cloud and the sky. The Martial Saint Mountain was the highest point in St. Petersburg. All of the magic towers in the city were a lot shorter than this mountain.

In this mountain lived the Empire Protector – Martial Saint.

The current Martial Saint was named Krasic, and he was the invincible god in the mind of every warrior in Zenit.

The mountain shaped like a sword soared into the clouds. The steep slope of the mountain combined with the smooth, mirror-like surface of the mountain made it hard for four-star warriors to even get up the mountain that was more than a kilometer tall. There were no paths or anything that led up to the mountain.

Since almost no man could reach the peak of the mountain, Martial Saint Mountain was mysterious and majestic in the citizens' mind.

Some say that there were palaces that only gods lived at the peak. It was beautiful and didn't belong to any man.

Some say that there was a peaceful village at the peak of the mountain. It was always spring there, and there were a ton of rare animals, intelligent beasts, precious herbs, and mystic ingredients.

Some say that the biggest secret of the empire lied at the peak of Martial Saint Mountain.

Of course, all of these were just legends and tales.

Except for the important members of the royal family of Zenit and some important officials, only a few powerful warriors knew the truth behind the Martial Saint Mountain. No one knew for sure if these tales were just rumors and fake, but they all knew that the Martial Saint who protected the empire had a super status. Although the Martial Saint didn't participate in the politics, no one dared to publically question the Martial Saint's majesty. Every generation of Martial Saint was undoubtedly the most powerful warrior in the empire.

The wind blew through the clouds and flirted with the stars in the sky. A thin figure appeared quietly on the highest peak of Martial Saint Mountain. With his robe fluttering in the wind, he only left a lonely yet unparalleled power sensation to the surroundings. This sensation felt a little ancient as if this figure had been co-existing with the mountain for numerous years.

The location of the Martial Saint Mountain was in a strategic spot. This man was able to see everything around this great city at the peak of the mountain. He was even able to see the campsites that were far away. At this point, the lights under the mountain were bright, acting like bright stars in the darkness. Suddenly, something occurred! Close to the campsite, a huge silver sword soared into the sky, at the same time, a cross of fire also appeared out of nowhere...

The sensation of this sword and cross could be felt very far away.

"Huh? This... it is that little kid again. Eh, wait... it is a little different from the last time!"

A smile appeared on this man's face as he closed his eyes; everything happening within a large radius was able to be clearly sensed by him. He nodded and murmured: "That's right, it is different….. he is even stronger now, and his power is more strange... Not bad, another win. However, he is not a mad dog, but why is he like an angry wolf? He seems to fight everyone he sees...."

At this time, an elder appeared behind him. This elder bowed and said: "Master, you are looking for me?"

"Eh, I'm going to go down the mountain, and I will be back in four days. In this time, you can take care of everything around here." This man turned around and said.

"Yes, master."

...

At the west side of the Capital, the black castle was the second most magnificent building next to the palace of the emperor.

The tallest black tower within the castle soared into the clouds. On top of this tower, a man who was tall and sharp was standing there. His body looked thick and tough, and he was looking in the direction of the campsites as he was wondering about something.

Ten minutes ago, he felt a familiar sensation from that direction; it was the second time that he felt it. At that moment, the calm and playful expression disappeared from his face, and he got serious.

"The number seven Executive Knight challenged the King of Chambord without getting my permission. How dare he reach into the Imperial Knight Palace and use my knights as chess pieces?"

This man turned around and said, "This matter has to be investigated seriously."

"Yes, master." A deep and hollow voice sounded from nowhere. But then, the space beside this man rippled as if it was the surface of the ocean slightly and instantly went away.

There were a total of eleven towers in this castle.

Except for the tallest towers, there were ten other towers that were in various shapes and sizes located around the tallest tower, as if they were stars that were surrounding the tallest tower which was like the moon.

At this moment, within the hall of a shiny golden tower.

A young man who was sitting on the black, mirror-like floor with his legs crossed seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He lost his concentration as he murmured, "King of Chambord... you got even stronger? However, it's nothing! I, Chris-Sutton had made progress as well. One day, I will come and redeem myself from the shame of the battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain... one day!"

This young man closed his eyes again.

The sharp metal element warrior energy enveloped his body again like melted gold; compared with that battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain, it was even stronger! He was already at the level of a low-tier six-star warrior.

Not too far away from this golden tower, a blood red tower gave off a chilling sensation.

A man with blood red hair was sitting on his blood red throne under a statue of a god. He rested his chin on the palm of his right hand, and his metal element warrior power was in a red color. Compared with the gold warrior power of Sutton, his warrior power was sharper and bloodier. His eyes shade had a hint of red in it, and he was staring at a man who was in a prisoner uniform. Despite the wounds on his body, this man was standing up tall and looked at the red-haired man in disdain.

"Last chance, tell me about where the Map of the Secret Scroll is, and I shall let you live!" The man with the red hair sounded cold and murderous.

"What the Templar Knight left in this world isn't something that a butcher like you can touch. Stop thinking about it." The man in the prisoner uniform said with scorn.

"If that's the case, then you can die!"

A dash of warrior energy flew out of the fingertip of the man on the throne, and the sharp energy filled the room. The flesh of the man in the prisoner uniform was sliced off of his body pieces by pieces. In an instant, this live person was turned into a complete and white skeleton.

"Next... King Alexander of Chambord, hehe. You gave me a surprise. However, that's not enough. Haha, don't give me the opportunity, and let me, the Bloody Knight Kelud kill you by "accident" tomorrow."

A horrifying red light flashed through the man with red long hair.

...

In St. Petersburg, in a slit space that was a kilometer deep in the ground.

A long sigh sounded.

"Why did the operation fail?"

"Master, a powerful warrior appeared. That man is so powerful that he injured the Executioner with one strike. The Executioner wasn't able to escape and got killed instantly. Everyone who participated in this operation all died...

"[Blood Rose] Paris... you guys underestimated this woman. How can someone who can compete with the elder princess be this easy to kill!"

"Master, we deserve to be penalized!"

"I gave this operation the go-ahead, you guys are not guilty. Did you guys investigate into who that warrior was?"

"We are still investigating. From what we know so far, that man was the king of a level 6 affiliated kingdom in the remote countryside. We don't know exactly how powerful he is; the most recent news is that he defeated the tenth Execution Knight of Zenit!"

"Continue! Get all the information on this man."

"Yes, master."

"This operation failed, and Zenit must have gained some information on us. From now on, everything needs to be more careful. However, Operation Blood Thorn must continue! I will let everyone in St.Petersburg live under the cloud of devastation and fear!"

"Yes, master!"

"Go and continue on your work!"

Chapter 224: Item from the God and Demon Ruins?

"You can finally decide now, right?" She asked as she pulled the leather cape on her shoulders tighter.

The Elder Princess looked at the letter in her hand and lightly placed it on the table. Under the magic light that had a red tone, her pale face had a rare red glow. Her blue eyes were staring at the Elder Prince Arshavin.

The man who was called [Zenit's God of War]. After a long period of silence. The last bit of unwillingness disappeared in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Tanasha, I'd admit, you were right about him. I can promise you that I won't go after the recipe for the potion, and I won't go after the King of Chambord. Now, just like you said, he has grown out wings and is hard to control!"

Elder Princess exhaled as a relaxed sensation appeared on her face.

"Will you go and check out the duel between him and the Seventh Execution Knight?"

"Of course!" Arshavin was very decisive. "This duel had already shaken half of the capital, and there will be a lot of influential figures showing up. If the King of Chambord can defeat Kelud, he would be worth it for me to get friendly with and try to pull onto my side!"

At this moment, a guard outside the palace announced a visitor. A general in silver armor came in fast and saluted at them. Then, he passed a letter to the Elder Prince. As soon as Arshavin looked through the letter, his face changed color. He stood up and said, "Three generals of the [Iron Blood Legion] had been assassinated. The situation is serious, I need to go back and check!"

After Arshavin and the general walked off, Elder Princess pondered.

"Older brother, you always loved to meet and befriend geniuses, but why are you feeling a little hostile towards him?"

...

At the camping area of the armies.

The night was getting darker, and the stars were even brighter.

It was cold during the early winter, but it couldn't extinguish the noisiness and the chatter from this area. What happened at the Wind-Whisper Pub seemed to have roused the people. The fire was burning and cracking while more exciting and wild shows were being performed in this chaotic camping ground; only the best would be respected.

After jumping off of the carriage and watching the flirtatious Paris being protected and taken away by the masters under Dominguez towards the center of St. Petersburg, Fei relaxed. With that level of protection, Paris was very safe, and the agreement between them was probably going to be honored. Despite the fact that a lot of stuff happened in the hub, his mission of being an "old friend" was achieved!

Feeling the noisiness and hearing the shouts coming from the streets, Fei who loved night-markets and small merchants didn't hurry back to Chambord's Campsite. He walked to a quiet place and took out a black cloak. After putting it on and hid some of his characteristics, he picked a noisy street and mixed himself with the crowd.

"The top-grade fox fur from Black Forest! It has some cold and ice-magic resistance. Top material for capes and light armor! Come and take a look! Last three, a silver coin each..."

"Forged by masters, the sharpest sword! Take a look! You can be invincible at the Military Practice with this blade!"

"Mysterious items from the God and Demon Ruins, goes to the highest bidder..."

Fei heard all sorts of shouts as he walked along the street. He loved this feeling; an indescribable calmness can be felt from this noisiness. Of course, from the experience of his previous life, walking without making any purchases was boring; the real fun was in buy, buy, buy!

Fei was now rich! Except the Purple Crystal Magic Card that contained a lot of money, he had some loose gold coins and silver coins. Therefore, he bought a lot of items that he found interesting. He didn't need most of them, but he felt like a real gangster.

Fei bought all of the fox furs from that vendor. These furs were interesting, and they could be made into a nice cape for Angela later. That sword that the other merchant wanted to sell was some garbage; soldiers could use it, but it would chip into pieces after warrior energy gets injected into it.

However, that vendor who was selling items from the God and Demon Ruins attracted Fei's attention.

This vendor was surrounded by people. It was obvious that the words God and Demon Ruins were very attractive. In between shouting and angry swears, Fei squatted down and took a detailed look. Six to seven items were placed on a piece of black fur. They were all for sale. There was half of a sword, two black small balls, and three oval stones that looked like pineapples with some scaly patterns. No one knew what they were.

After Fei's observations, he found that not a lot of people were willing to pay. The owner of these items was an elder who was old and thin. He only said that these items were from the God and Demon Ruins, but he didn't know where exactly they were from and what level the God and Demon Ruins was. However, the prices on these items were extremely high! Each item was at least a hundred gold coins. That made a lot of interested people give up on bargaining. Didn't matter what happened, this elder didn't lower the prices.

"I think all of these are fake. How can you get your hands on items from a God and Demon Ruins?"

"Old scammer, brought some stuff here to fool us."

"Old man, I will take everything for the price of a gold coin, deal?"

There were some people who were knowledgeable in the crowd. Although they couldn't tell if the elder was telling the truth, the items did have a mysterious feel to them. Some people tried to convince the elder and see if they could get a good deal.

"No, every item is a hundred gold coins! I won't lower the price!" The elder was not wearing much; despite the fact that he was shivering in cold, he was very stubborn.

Fei kneeled down and held onto the item that looked like half of a sword. He weighted it, then he played with the two small black balls. After that, he gave the three oval-shaped stones a feel; he didn't know what they were, but he felt like they were eggs of some creature even though they felt like rocks.

"I will take all of it!"

Fei thought about it and said. He saw that the elder was really cold and hungry, so he felt bad for him. Also, Fei was rich, so he retreated it as an act of kindness. He took out six hundred gold coins from his storage space and gave them to the elder in a bag.

"Hehe, I knew I would meet someone who is knowledgeable." The elder smiled and showed his yellow teeth. He was missing one. He quickly took over the bag and picked out a gold coin. He bit onto it and smiled afterwards finding that they were not fake.

A few men who wanted to bargain and buy these items at a lower cost looked at Fei with hostile expressions. They weren't happy that someone came out of nowhere and took the items, but they didn't say anything. These men weren't dumb and knew that a man who could easily spend six hundred gold coins wasn't a nobody. In this chaotic campsite, no one knew each other's background.

After playing with the items in his hands, he felt like this stuff was really mysterious. He looked up and wanted to ask where the elder got them, but he realized that the vendor had already disappeared.

"I didn't even sense when that elder left with my current power level?" Fei felt like the situation was really strange.

After the transaction was over, the crowd slowly dispersed.

"Kid, you have been fooled. That old man had been wondering around for a few days. He would always bring out some stuff and say they were from God and Demon Ruins. He has scammed quite a few number of people..." A mid-aged man who looked friendly came by and told Fei.

Fei thanked the man as he lightly shook his head. He put the items back to his storage space and walked ahead.

He felt like the situation wasn't that simple.

All kinds of kingdoms were camped here. The distance between each kingdom's camp sites was about a hundred meters, and it was quite loud and noisy. Fei walked on the street as he observed the kingdoms on the sides. These camp sites were different in size and had different warriors in them; Fei was able to sense some powerful sensations from larger camp sites. "Those must be master warriors from each kingdom." He thought.

Not sure when, but snow started to fall from the sky. This was the first time that Fei saw snow on the Azeroth Continent.

The snowflakes got bigger and bigger. Soon, the entire space was dyed white.

At this moment, a deep shout sounded and drew Fei's attention.

Chapter 225: Got be a hero sometimes

"King of Byzantine, how dare you refuse to hand over the person that the Blood-edge Mercenary Group wants?"

A dominating shout sounded from a campsite that was less than half the size of Chambord's. Fei looked up and saw the campsite surrounded by all kinds of people. However, Fei was able to instantly see through the crowd and realize that there was some kind of conflict. The group with the advantage in the conflict had more than a dozen men with black suits and leather armor on their bodies. On the leather armor, there was engraved a sabre that had blood dripping down from it.

It was the symbol for Blood-edge Mercenary Group!

They were just the people who Fei was looking for!

Without making a scene, Fei quietly squeezed into the crowd and got to the front row. Through the fence posts, he was able to see the word "Byzantine" on the centre stone, declaring who had temporary ownership of this small campsite.

Fei had never heard of this kingdom before, but he got to know that this kingdom was a very weak level 6 Affiliated Kingdom. But in contrast with Chambord, the Byzantine Kingdom was in the south side of the Empire. This kingdom was located by a sea port, and the weather there was very comfortable. It was much better than Chambord.

Beside the Byzantine Kingdom's campsite, there were several other adjacent kingdoms. Therefore, they knew a lot about the situation, and Fei was able to learn.

This Byzantine Kingdom was weak, but they were located at an important sea port. Therefore, they were being treated as a fat piece of meat by other kingdoms around them. The situation deteriorated two years ago when the old king passed away; the only son of the old king inherited the throne, but key ministers were able to control majority of the kingdom's resources. The kingdom was under both internal and external threats. The young king of Byzantine came here with the hope of keeping the status of level 6 affiliated kingdom, but they somehow got into a conflict with the Blood-edge Mercenary Group who had a vicious reputation.

The Blood-edge Mercenary Group was one of the top four mercenary groups in the Zenit Empire. They had subgroups located in almost every part of Zenit, and they had a lot of master warriors. What was more important was that they were backed by a huge noble family. Among all the kingdoms camped in the area, only the ten level 1 affiliated kingdoms and a few powerful level 2 affiliated kingdoms could make them rethink their actions before doing something, but they weren't scared of the Byzantine Kingdom who were already at risk of losing their position of a level 6 affiliated kingdom after this competition. Thus, they entered the Byzantine Kingdom's campsite rudely.

"Our group head really admires Ms. Izabella, and he had invited her to our headquarters in St. Petersburg for a party. King of Byzantine, how dare you stop us?" A man with two huge hammers that were bigger than his body sneered as he threatened the young king.

The King of Byzantine was a handsome but thin young man. It was obvious that he was living a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle and had never had this kind of confrontation before. He looked very angry, but was also a little helpless and anxious. With a white robe on his body, his thin body shivered under pressure. However, he was still holding on a beautiful girl with one of his arms as he protected her with his chest. He shouted with a begging tone, "Captain Harry, Izabella, she...she...she is sick. Please let her go!"

As the king, he had to speak in such a way. It was clear that the Byzantine Kingdom was really weak.

"Hehe, sick? The Blood-edge Mercenaries' headquarters has the best doctors and healing mages. It would be perfect for her to come. We need to go!" The man with the two huge hammers on his back didn't listen to the king's begging. He locked his eyes on the girl in the king's arm as he looked very thirsty. He looked like he wanted to take this girl right now.

"You guys are too reckless! Izabella is the future queen of our kingdom and our majesty's lover. How dare you rude criminals pressure our king like that?" A loyal guard beside the king couldn't bear it anymore. He opened his mouth and shouted.

Bam!

A hammer swung in the air.

The loyal guard's head was smashed into a pile of meat paste as blood spilled everywhere.

This man named Harry laughed viciously as he rubbed his hammer that was stained by the blood on the loyal guard's corpse. After he cleaned the red and white liquid off of his hammer, he put it back onto his back and didn't explain his actions. His attitude made everyone feel like he just killed a fly and not a guard of King of Byzantine.

"You..." The king was frightened and angry.

"Your majesty, what are you waiting for? Quickly accept Captain Harry's request! Do you want to give up on our kingdom's hope just because of a woman? Don't forget, our kingdom can only pass this competition and maintain the status of a level 6 affiliated kingdom with the help of Blood-edge Mercenary Group!" A short and fat middle-aged man in a purple suit spoke. From the look of it, it seemed like he was a minister at the kingdom. But he was shouting at the young king and showing a very friendly and flattering attitude towards Harry. The scene was really ironic.

"Eric, as the head minister of Byzantine, how dare you... you..." The young king pointed at the fatty's nose as he stuttered. He was so mad that he didn't know what to say.

"Humph, your majesty, please make a decision fast. Don't become the one who destroy the efforts of all the former kings!" The fatty dusted off the snow on his robe as he said with a cold voice.

"Your majesty, save me, save me!" The girl held onto the young king tightly as she begged with tears sliding down her cheek.

Wind blew by, and snow fell on the young king's head.

His loyal guard was killed with a hammer in front of him. The blood from the corpse had dyed the white snow red, and the blood was still steaming in the cold....

His enemy was pressuring him with a dominating demeanor and asking him to hand over his lover.

His minister was helping his enemy and probing him with words.

At this moment, the young and thin king of Byzantine felt like he was bearing a huge amount of weight, and his body was going to collapse any second. He was looking at the girl in his arms with love and unwillingness. He looked more like a helpless weak young man rather than a high-up king.

"Your majesty, what are you waiting for? Are you really going to make Captain Harry angry? How dare you give up on the kingdom because of a low-class woman?" The fatty in purple stared at the king angrily as he pushed with his cold tone.

"I..." A painful expression appeared on the young king's face as he was tore appear.

"Humph!" Harry sneered again to pressure the king more, and other dozen mercenaries all started to sneer as well.

"Your majesty, Izabella is not willing to let you bear the name of guilt. I'm willing to give up anything for you. I ... Mr. Harry, I'm going to go to the party with you. Please, I beg you, please don't forget to help his majesty to win in the competition and save the kingdom's status..."

After seeing the struggle and pain in the young king's eyes, the pure girl finally understood something. She signed as she slowly got out of her lover's arms. Clear crystal like tears slid off of her face and dripped into the snow. Her thin body was trembling as she stood in the snow facing those beast like mercenaries. She looked like a weak little white flower as her expression was desperate and heartbroken.

"No..." The young king shouted out of pain and desperation. He reached out, but the fatty in purple dragged him back.

"Hahahaha!" The mercenaries laughed proudly.

"Ah, what a bunch of bastards. In these couple of days, they had been kidnapping girls from all kinds of kingdoms. There had been more than fifty cases..." Someone signed in the crowd. Blood-edge Mercenary Group had been kidnapping beautiful young girls and giving them as gifts to the forces that were backing them up. This kind of actions had made them a target, but those affiliated kingdoms didn't dare to offend the group because the forces behind the group was just too powerful.

However, the deepest part of Fei's heart was touched by this.

Especially after he saw the pain and struggle in the young king's eyes and the desperate expression on the young girl's face, he suddenly felt like the situation that the king of Byzantine and his lover was in was extremely similar to his situation. When he had arrived in this world, he was faced with head minister Bazzar's pressure and the threat of the black armored enemies. If it wasn't for the Diablo World, his ending wouldn't be any better than this king's...

After thinking of that, Fei took off the cloak.

"Kill all the bastards of Blood-edge Mercenary Group! Anyone who is not involved quickly move aside!"

A shout suddenly sounded from the crowd.

Followed by the shout, there were more than a dozen fire balls that were more than ten centimetres in diameter.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions was followed by the high heat. In an instant, a redness lit up the sky. The powerful magic surge shocked everyone, and the dozen mercenaries didn't expect this and were all hit!

"AHAHAHAH..."

The mercenaries of Blood-edge who got hit screamed as they rolled on the ground. However, the fire that caught on hem couldn't be extinguished didn't matter how hard they tried. Soon, they were turned into piles of ashes, and their armors and weapons were liquefied!

This scene was terrifying.

"Who are you?" Harry held onto his hammers as he turned around and shouted.

"The person who is going to kill you!" Fei switched from Sorceress Mode to Barbarian Mode as he laughed and walked out of the crowd. With murderous spirit filling the space around him, he stepped into the campsite. He looked like a demon in the eyes of Harry.
