Hail the King
Chapter 931: Undead Capital

Chapter 931: Undead Capital (Part One)

With Fei’s strength, this speed was a bit too slow; this was because he was using his Barbarian character in the last three days.

Most of the skills of the Barbarian were meant to be used in one-versus-one combat; there weren’t many group attack skills. In addition, the power of the Barbarian couldn’t purify evil energy, so Fei’s pace was delayed. Until today, Fei had gotten the amount of mystical energy that was equivalent to 30 percent of the experience points needed to fill up the experience bar of Hell Mode level 100. It was a big reward.

“The Royal Family of Anji is ruthless. They didn’t even let go of their own citizens.”

Fei looked around, and all that he could see were the grey, deadly land that seemed to stretch into the horizon, the stone-status-like plants, and the zombies and mutated demon beasts that were wandering around. In fact, there were also many skeleton soldiers that were making bone-grinding noises while walking around with bone sabers. It seemed like the skeletons that were buried underground for dozens of years were stained by the dark energy of Hell, and they were turned into skeleton soldiers and crawled out of their graves to cause destruction.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a beam of red light dashed down from the sky and shot toward Fei

A red hummingbird!

Fei took out the intelligence report from the storage ring on the bird’s neck, and he sighed after reading it.

The Anji Empire was done.

Since the Undead Creature Catastrophe was blocked off from the north due to Fei’s arrival a month earlier, the undead creatures couldn’t break through and focused all their attention on the south. As a result, they became undefeatable for the troops of Anji, and the zombies and mutated demon beasts destroyed this dominating force that was on the rise.

Now, it was hard to determine if the Royal Family of Anji were behind this Undead Creature Catastrophe, but one thing was for sure; the Anji Empire was now in history. The members of the Royal Family of Anji were either eaten by zombies were turned into zombies. According to the investigations of the [Letter Office] and other intelligence networks on the continent, there were almost no living beings inside the territory of the Anji Empire.

Fei gasped when he saw the report.

Although the Anji Empire didn’t have a firm foundation due to its rapid expansion in a short time, it had at least tens of millions of citizens. Therefore, it meant that there were at least tens of millions of dark creatures of Hell wandered the land in front of Fei. If counting the skeleton soldiers that crawled out of their graves due to the hell power and the large number of animals and insects… the number of undead creatures would increase by many folds.

This was the terrifying thing about Undead Creature Catastrophe. Like the plague, as long as there was life on this land, it can easily spread to every corner of the continent.

Besides, this Undead Creature Catastrophe was different from prior incidents. The dark energy of Hell was many times more powerful than undead energy; even the priests of the Holy Church had a hard time purifying this evil energy.

“Since the Royal Family of Anji is crushed, I wonder if I can still find some clues in the Capital. I can’t delay it anymore; I need to get to the Capital of Anji and figure this out as soon as possible!”

After thinking for a bit, he decided to speed up and get to the Capital of Anji.

However, before leaving, he had to set up some bright magic arrays by the border between the Anji Empire and the new Alania Empire; he had to prevent the Undead Creature Catastrophe from spreading back into the north.

After doing all that, Fei suddenly detected something when he was about to leave. With his sharp eyes, he glanced back as his spirit energy rushed out into the area like waves. However, he was soon confused.

“This is so strange. This isn’t my first time feeling this strange sensation; there seems to be something monitoring me. I tried several times, but I didn’t discover anything. With my current strength, even demi-gods can’t get within 1,000 meters of me without me noticing. What is going on?”

Chapter 931: Undead Capital (Part Two)

Half a day later, Fei arrived at the Capital of Anji.

Looking down from the sky, Fei saw that the Capital of Anji which occupied an area of thousands of square kilometers was destroyed. The terrifying roars of the zombies and mutated demon beasts filled the air, and this city became a paradise for undead creatures.

The streaks of evil energy soared into the air, and dark clouds covered the sky. The air was dense and suffocating, and the corrosive dark energy of Hell was everywhere in this region.

Even if low-tier Sun-Class Lords came here, they might be stained by the evil energy and become zombie kings.

“It is fortunate that I didn’t order [Black Pearl] and [Cyclops] to come here. Otherwise, even the energy barriers on the two barges might not be able to block the evil energy for long… This place is almost the same as the environment in Diablo World; it is completely stained, and ordinary humans can’t live here. Eh? There are several powerful streaks of evil energy. Could it be that monsters on the level of Lord of Hell are created? Huh? Wait, there seems to be other people… Let me go and check!”

Fei discovered the strangeness in the city. After thinking for a bit, he turned into a dash of light and shot toward the enormous Capital of Anji.

“Roar! Who is it? How dare you charge into the territory of the Grim Reaper?”

A thick black cloud floated into the sky, radiating a strong spirit energy wave. Both mechanical and crude, this voice sounded in Fei’s head; it sounded like a toddler just learned how to speak.

The deadly energy boiled below Fei.

It was a terrifying king-level monster of Hell. It looked like a meat mountain, more than ten meters tall. After seeing Fei’s arrival, it roared in anger, and many white bone spears appeared out of nowhere before shooting at Fei like meteorites.

“It seems to be at Morning Sun Realm, and it isn’t the most powerful monster in this city.”

Fei didn’t even pay attention to its attack. When the bone spears were about 100 meters away from Fei, they were shuttered by Fei’s bodily-protective energy. As the king dashed by this monster, he punched out from far away, quickly exploding this meat-mountain-like monster. Then, a vast amount of mystical energy leaked out of its corpse.

Fei waved his hand, and this streak of mystical energy was absorbed into his body.

This streak of energy was abundant, and it rushed around in Fei’s body like a surging river, nurturing Fei’s cells and organs.

“Damn! The energy that Boss-level monsters provide is insane! If I kill about 30 to 40 monsters on this level, my Barbarian character will easily advance into the Demi-God Realm! However, I should look around and investigate first. I have a feeling that the Royal Palace of Anji contains items that I’m looking for.”

To avoid disturbing other Boss-level monsters in the city, Fei switched to his Assassin character and used the skill, [Cloak of Shadow]. He instantly disappeared from the air, and he rapidly moved toward the majestic and eye-catching Royal Palace of Anji in the middle of the city.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded about 1,000 meters away, and silver holy power seemed to loom over there.

Fei instantly got cautious and quickly approached under stealth.

“Andrew! You dumb pig! What did you do? Such an upheaval. Do you want to get us all killed? If the zombie kings come over, we will all die!”

“Shush! Stop talking and start running. Let’s leave first! Herds of zombies will be here soon!”

“Damn it! Protect us, Father God! Why are we here anyway?”

“Shut up and watch your step! Let’s sneak into the Royal Palace, and we will start moving once we get a good look at what is happening inside. We will leave here as soon as we get that item!”

About five kilometers away from the Royal Palace, a team of about a dozen people quickly moved between structures. There were mercenaries, swordsmen, nobles, and priests; they all had different identities. Also, it was clear that they weren’t getting along that well. While complaining, they moved and dodged the herds of zombies that were charging at them from all directions, and their target was the Royal Palace.

This group of people were all strong; the weakest one was at peak Full-Moon Realm. In addition, it seemed like they had a magical item that could help them avoid being detected by the monsters that had a great sense of smell. Otherwise, they might be surrounded by many monsters already.
