Hail the King
Chapter 840: Emperor’s Help

“Damn! This b*stard Buckingham! Is he really going to ignore me and not lend a helping hand?”

Since Fei didn’t receive any help for more than three days, the king was getting a little anxious.

This was the biggest crisis that he had faced since coming to Azeroth. Even though Fei was a mighty Hell Mode barbarian who had the insane physical strength and a strong body, he was at a breaking point. After all, he had been enduring for a very long time.

However, his extensive battle experience in both the real world and Diablo World told Fei that he had to keep calm during the most dangerous times. Therefore, he didn’t panic and continued to fight back.

“Damn it! F*ck it!”

Fei summoned the [Throne of Chaos] and injected all of his energy into this throne. At the same time, he consumed a portion of his experience points and used [Summon] which was one of the three miraculous skills that he hadn’t used in a long time.

He summoned one of the bosses from Diablo World – [Lord of Pain] Duriel.

A giant blue portal appeared in the cosmos space created by the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] silently.

Then, a few bright light beams appeared, and a hand with claws on the end of each finger and back hooks on its back traveled through the void and pierced through this light gate, showing itself in this magic array.

Next, [Lord of Pain] Duriel, one of the four lords of hell in Diablo World, dashed out of the portal without hesitation and roared, creating a series of powerful sound waves.

Fei calmed down a little more.

Although the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] was a god-tier magic array, it wasn’t completely invincible. [Summon] was on par with the miraculous skills [Learn] and [Give], and it was effective in this surreal cosmos space, getting Fei a chance of surviving this crisis.

Duriel was essentially a god of hell in Diablo World, and its power was extremely evil, standing at the other end of the power spectrum when compared with holy power. Therefore, they were counters to each other.

Therefore, as soon as Duriel entered the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace], it was attacked by the abundant holy power that was everywhere in this cosmos space.

Immediately, a series of hissing noises sounded as if a fatty piece of meat was on the grill, and this arrogant god from another world screamed in pain and anger.

Streaks of green smoke rose from his mountain-like body, and a foul smell instantly permeated the space.

“What is this?” the golden skeleton’s surprised voice sounded in this space.

“This is your grandpa!” Fei roared and continued to dodge Duriel’s brutal attacks using the fast speed of the [Throne of Chaos], waiting for an excellent opportunity.

The amount of dark energy that Duriel had was no match for the immerse holy power that was gushing into the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] at an incredible speed. However, the bosses in Hell Mode already had some godly power. Even though it wasn’t much, it had magical effects in a mortal world.

The immense holy power and the pure and sharp dark energy finally triggered a giant explosion like an ignited keg after a short moment of battle.

The indescribable and intense explosive energy waves seemed like the big bang had just occurred again, finally affecting the cosmos space created by the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] in a dramatic way. Large ripples started to appear in the space, and fluttering noises sounded like a piece of paper was being blown in the wind, seeming like it was going to be torn at any moment now.

Fei controlled the [Throne of Chaos] and protected himself well, and he was able to endure waves upon waves of explosive impact force. At the same time, his spirit energy rushed out like surging sea waves, and he paid close attention to the vibration of every part of this cosmos space. As long as there was a tiny slit in this space, he would be able to dash out and escape using the space-traveling ability of the [Throne of Chaos].

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!!

“This isn’t enough! Need a bit more! Just a bit more! Damn it! Explode! Explode! Continue!”

As time passed by, the sliver of chance at life that Fei expected didn’t come as he wished. Duriel’s giant body was almost exploded into dust, and the explosive energy waves were slowly disappearing…

…

-Royal Palace of Leon-

“Huh? I haven’t even given you approval; where are you going?” Seeing that Buckingham was slowly backing out of this side palace, Emperor of Leon frowned and broke the silence by asking in his deep voice.

“Your Majesty, the King of Chambord is…” Buckingham tried to explain again anxiously.

“Are you really going to save the Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit?” The emperor didn’t look so happy.

Buckingham lowered his head and said with gritting teeth after staying silent for a few moments, “Your Majesty, the person whom I’m trying to save isn’t the Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit but a friend who had saved me many times.”

“Ok. I admire your courage, but have you thought about the potential consequences of your actions? As a regional king of Leon, if you get involved and interrupt the plan of the Holy Church at this moment, what kind of disaster could happen to the Leon Empire? Your loved ones, the soldiers who look up to you, and more than tens of millions of Leonians might all die due to your impulsive actions.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. Right now, almost everyone knows that I’m no longer a regional king of Leon but a criminal who is being hunted down in the territory. Even if the Holy Church wants to investigate this, there are enough reasons to excuse the empire from all responsibility.” It was clear that Buckingham had thought everything through, and he replied calmly.

After hearing his words, Emperor Juninho stared at this former regional king whom he had valued a lot. He looked at this young man viciously, but Buckingham’s look was a little guilty but mostly determined. The atmosphere was intense in this side palace.

After a while, a smile suddenly appeared Emperor Juninho’s face as if he were a genial father who was looking at his son. He laughed and said, “Great. I didn’t expect this from you after you led the troops to the Zenit Empire. Although half of the navy of Leon got destroyed along the way, and you almost died and struggled, I finally see that you have matured. Great! This is great! The fact that you can make this decision and stand by it firmly makes me glad.”

“Your Majesty…” Buckingham was worried that Emperor Juninho was going to stop him by force, but he didn’t know that this ruler would say this. He was pleasantly surprised.

“Hahaha! The ambition that the Holy Church has is already showing on the continent, and we no longer need to endure it. Hahaha… With your strength, it is no use going there. Let me help you out!”

Juninho raised his head and laughed before flicking one of his fingers.

A slim silver sword energy shot out of his fingertip like a metal needle.

Although this sword energy looked weak, it flashed by and flew in the sky silently, quickly approaching the location in the Gerland Parish of the Holy Church where the silver energy flames burned the brightest.
