Hail the King

Chapter 454: Especially Powerful

That mid-aged man only took one peek at that silver light beam, and he looked away afterward as if it was quite boring. He looked up at the moon in the sky with sadness as if he had many things on his mind.

The cute boy beside this mid-aged man completely ignored what the man had said.

The boy sniffed the aroma of the wine in the air and stared at the large-size wine bag in the mid-aged man’s hands with his big cute eyes that could make anyone like him instantly. He looked greedy and wanted to steal the wine bag, but something was holding him back.

“Hey, what is that expression? What did I tell you? You are not allowed to drink! You would go crazy every time you drink, and I’m the one who has to take the blame for you. I’m very upset right now, but you aren’t even trying to comfort me! Are you trying to steal my wine right now? You aren’t even humane! Why did I create you? I’m regretting my decision now!” The mid-aged man got mad after seeing how the boy was looking at his wine bag.

“You old bastard, stop that crap! I’m not a human, how can I be humane?” the boy licked his lips and refuted in disdain, “Have I not taken blames for you? Ten years ago, you got drunk and killed that so-called strongest Saint Knight. In the end, I was the one who had to take the blame for it. 50 years ago, for some odd reason, you wanted to go to the Regional Church in the Marse Empire and peep on the Saintess who was taking a bath. When you were discovered, you killed the Bishop there and blamed it all on me. 100 years ago......”

Hearing this boy spitting out his dark history, the mid-aged man froze for a second before yelling, “Damn it! I was wondering why I’m getting more and more perverted! You are the only thing that is willing to hang around me, and you aren’t a human! Ay! I must be too lonely......”

As he said that, his expression suddenly got serious as he added, “But all in all, that man who just advanced is quite powerful. I sensed something special in his aura, so we have to be careful. Our strengths are greatly reduced, and we are even being chased around like dogs by a few ant-like bugs.”

The boy sniffed the aroma even more and replied in disdain, “Let me make it clear; you are being chased like a dog, and I’m just keeping you company. I won’t mess around that man; do you think I couldn’t sense his potential and power? You said that the key principle of being rogue is that we need to fight the weak opponents, run from the powerful ones, be shameless, and act sneaky. How about we go and work for him? Haha, he might be willing to shield us.”

“We are now hated by many, and many people would flee when seeing us. Why would he be willing to help us? I think he would try to kill us right away if we go to him......”

“Ah! It is my bad luck that I have to hang out with you. If you aren’t my dad, I would have ditched you a long time ago......”

“Yuck! If I knew you are going to be like this, I couldn’t have created you. You can only cause trouble! I was living my life to the fullest when you aren’t around. After you appeared, I was hated by all......” action

Under the moonlight, these two actually started to fight each other.

However, in the end, the boy still couldn’t get any wine from the mid-aged man.

......

Inside Dual-Flags City, the magnificent phenomenon woke up everyone. The residents ignored the curfew and all walked out of their homes and into the street, and the patrolling soldiers were shocked as well when they saw the thick silver light beam. Even the animals in the city lied on the ground as they shivered in fear.

“God! What is that? A ladder to heaven? What is going on? Is this doomsday?”

“That is in the direction of the west gate. Could it be that our Legion Commander King Alexander is using a god-like technique to kill the Sand Ghosts?”

“This is a miracle! The God of War has shown himself and is protecting Dual-Flags City! Thank God!”

The residents all kneeled on the street and kowtowed. With high emotion, they sensed the terrifying energy from the silver light beam and thanked the blessing from the God of War......

At this time, a man murmured to himself inside an ordinary building in the city, “This is unexpected....... This is really unexpected. Among the people of Zenit who have fallen, there is a genius who could trigger such an extraordinary phenomenon when advancing into the realm of Moon-Class...... More than 20 years had passed, and that man is still great at spotting talents and using them correctly.”

This man who was muscular and about 1.7 meters tall looked in the direction of the west gate with his hands behind his back.

He wasn’t tall, and he wasn’t handsome. However, the aura around him was special. Anyone who stood behind him would want to kneel and worship him. It was a prestigious presence that was born with; others couldn’t copy it even if they tried.

Two servant-like men were standing behind him in silence.

These two also had a prestigious presence around them, and their vitality could be seen through their eyes. The murderous spirits around them indicated that they were soldiers, and they were looking at the man in front of them with craziness in their eyes. It was obvious that they were willing to die for him.

At the same time, there was also a tall man standing with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a long black cloak, and the hood of the cloak covered more than half of his face. His nose and lips could be seen, and one could tell that he was very handsome from these facial features alone. When the silver light radiated from the light beam in the watchtower, it couldn’t get within half a meter of this man as if there was an invisible power shielding him.

Behind him, there was a mid-aged man who was dressed in a set of flashy golden clothes sitting down beside a stone table and drinking casually.

However, when he squinted his eyes and peaked at the light beam far away, some concerns appeared in his eyes.

......

......

All of this was too sudden for Fei.

When he stepped into the real world through the portal, he felt like he was being rejected. This world became very strange to him, and the clouds rumbled as an invisible force landed on him from the sky; it felt like it wanted to defeat Fei.

After a moment of surprise, Fei was thrilled.

He realized that this was the mandatory process for a Star-level Warrior to advance to a Moon-Class Elite; the elements in this world were going to try to stop him.

According to many cultivation books, the stronger the warrior, the more destructive this process would be. Warriors tried to escape and stay above the natural laws of the universe, and the energy and magic elements in the world would naturally try to put a stop to it.

This process was quite dangerous and challenging.

It was heard that many Star-level Warriors tried to climb too fast and tried to advance to the realm of Moon-Class without accumulating enough Warrior Energy. After the repulsive force of the world defeated them, the better outcome was that they could never get to a higher realm again, and the worst result was that they were killed and turned into blood mist by the backlash.

However, once a master endured this process, their power structure would change completely.

The nine star-swirls inside a warrior’s or a mage’s body that represented their Nine-Star strength would combine into one Energy Core that looked like a curly new moon. As the New Moon Masters continue to cultivate, this Energy Core would gradually be filled up. It would turn from a New Moon to a Half Moon until it reaches the shape of a Full Moon; that was also where the names of the three ranks came from.

Of course, associated with the danger of the transformation process, there were countless benefits.

One of them was that the Warrior Energy or the Magic Energy would turn from a gas form into a liquid form; it was a massive jump in quality. On top of that, the body of the cultivators would also be strengthened in the process. The structure of their muscles would get firmer, and the elements in the world would nurture their internal organs. With this empowered vitality, a Moon-Class Elite would be able to live more than 300 years as long as they didn’t get killed or severely injured in battles.

However, this process wasn’t dangerous for Fei at all; it was simply a part of the advancement process.

Fei had already undergone this process in Diablo World, and his power originated from there. Unlike the warriors and mages in this world where they had to accumulate Warrior Energy or Magic Energy, Fei’s Barbarian Character only had pure physical strength! Therefore, the challenge of the elements in this world wasn’t threatening at all. If normal masters had to endure the challenge of the elements and compromise with them, Fei used his insane physical strength and forced the elements to become submissive towards him.
