Krasic was very special as his heart was located on the right side of his chest. Therefore, his heart was actually destroyed by Huntelaar’s sneak attack already.

Even though a Moon-Class Elite was powerful, he or she would die if they lost their hearts.

Then, Fei quickly discovered why Krasic was able to unleash so much power and defeat the four Moon-Class Elites after his heart got destroyed – there were four spikes made from green magic crystals that deeply penetrated Krasic’s thin body.

“Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique?”

Fei was deeply saddened.

[Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique] was a forbidden technique that genius Emperor Yassin created. Fei read about this technique as it was written in one of the notes written by Yassin that Krasic brought him, and he clearly knew the requirements and consequences of using a technique like this.

This forbidden technique would use a self-destructive method to stimulate the four main energy channels inside one’s body, and that would allow the person to use warrior energy that was several times more powerful than his or her own. However, the consequences were huge. Even a person who wasn’t injured couldn’t even live pass one hour after using the technique.

“So this is how Krasic suddenly got so powerful and defeated the four Moon-Class Elites on his own…… He used his last bit of life energy to cast [Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique], and he used his life to protect the dignity of the empire. Even if Krasic isn’t as injured, he couldn’t live more than one hour……” Fei was moved.

He felt very hopeless and powerless.

He hadn’t felt this powerless ever since he came to Azeroth Continent. He thought he had Diablo World and he was able to manage everything. That was very close to the truth as most of the dangers he faced were completely resolved by him. Even when he was being assassinated by Amauri who was a Moon-Class Elite, he was able to escape. But this time……

Fei recalled all his techniques and items. [Health Potion], [Mana Potion], [Full Rejuvenation Potion], [Hulk Potion], [Fake Death Potion], [Town Portal Scroll], [Identification Scroll] …… it seemed like he didn’t have anything that could revive a dead person.

He did remember that mercenaries were able to be revived in the actual Diablo Game if they were killed, but Fei had never tried it in Diablo World and didn’t know how to trigger and use this Resurrection System.

“I have to give it a try, I have to find the Resurrection System in Diablo World. I must…… I must……” As if he was crazy, he murmured to himself quickly as sweat dripped down from his head. He cared too much, and that was why his thoughts were all over the place. He was trying to find a way to save Krasic, and he was going to open a portal to Diablo World and ask Akara and Cain for help.

At this moment, it seemed like Krasic suddenly got well. His eyes got shiny again, and the wounds stopped bleeding. He sat up, and a smile appeared on his serious face as if he thought of something beautiful. He looked at the bright stars in the nightly sky and murmured, “Have two bottles of wine during troubled times and meet up for a game of chess……” (Chinese poem)

“Elder, your injuries……” Fei was worried about Krasic’s condition, and he interrupted Krasic who was thinking back to something.

Krasic lowered his head and looked at Fei as he said, “You read about [Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique] before, and I’m sure you know the consequences,” the smile was still on his face, and it felt like he was relieved from a huge burden.

Fei nodded as he felt like crying.

“My mission…… is accomplished……” Krasic stood up. Although he staggered a little, his back was straight. He slowly walked forward and signaled Fei to follow up. He said, “I know you have a lot of questions, but I don’t have much time to explain everything to you.”

“I may be able to heal you, I……” Fei was really anxious. He was no longer the king who was dominating and looked like he had everything under his control; at this moment, he looked like a helpless child in front of Krasic.

Krasic shook his head and rejected Fei’s offer.

After seeing Krasic stagger again, Fei quickly walked up and held onto Krasic’s shoulders. Krasic tried to get away, but he was too weak to do so. After a short moment of pause, he sighed and said, “I didn’t think that I, Krasic, would be propped up by people twice in my 40-year life.”

The two of them traveled very slow, but the top of the central sword peak wasn’t that big. They arrived at the edge of the cliff in a few moments.

The mountain wind blew, and the chilly air made Fei feel very lonely and sad. Krasic’s long hair fluttered in the wind, and he was no longer dominating nor overbearing like he was a moment ago. He no longer looked like a Martial Saint but an ordinary elder on the street. When the cold wind blew on him, Fei could even tell that the thin body was shaking.

This discovery made Fei even sadder. It was so painful that it made Fei feel like his own parents were dying.

“After tonight, there won’t be a Martial Saint of Zenit.” Krasic looked at the dark skyline and said. It wasn’t even midnight yet, and the dawn was still some time away.

“Spartax won’t have a Martial Saint either.” Fei thought back to the Martial Saint Battle, and the faces of Huntelaar, Costakarta, and Amauri each flashed by in his head. With a murderous spirit, he pointed at the sky and said forcefully, “Jax, Eindhoven, and Spartax! I will wipe you off the continent one day!”

“Hatred is much easier to acquire compared to responsibility. Alexander, do you still remember what I said to you last time?” Krasic asked.

“I remember, Elder. You said that I’m very similar to Emperor Yassin His Majesty, and you said that you don’t want me to become someone like him as well. You told me to remember that the core and the essence of power is to protect and guard the people and the things that I love……” Fei replied.

Krasic nodded and continued, “I don’t want to change your mind. I don’t mind if you want to avenge for me, but I hope you won’t avenge for me if you found out about another truth.”

“Another truth?”

Krasic nodded.

Fei gave it some thought and felt like he understood something. He seemed to have grasped onto something and realized something.

“If Zenit is really going to collapse, I hope you can shield the citizens of the empire and help them to avoid the blades of the enemies……” Krasic suddenly thought of something and added.

“Who dares to challenge Zenit when Emperor Yassin His Majesty is fine?” Fei thought about the power of the [Dragon Fist] today and felt like the Zenit Empire would never be in trouble with an emperor like that.

“Do you have a grudge against Yassin? Are you thinking that he could instantly kill people like Lkunta so I don’t have to die?” Krasic seemed to have understood the deeper meaning behind Fei’s words and explained, “That was because he has enough reasons to not to do so.”

Fei was silent after hearing that.

“Ah, Tanasha…… Although she is a talented kid, she is so ill and she is a girl. Too bad that only she can inherit his heritage…… Too bad……” Krasic suddenly thought of something else and sighed again.

“The Elder Princess is a good friend of mine. If she needs me, I will protect her with all my ability.” Fei understood what Krasic was trying to say. The Elder Princess was one of the only few friends Fei had in this world, and Fei would definitely help her if she was in need. However, Fei understood the deeper meaning behind Krasic’s words, and he felt even more grateful.

“Ever since I known you, I knew that you would become a bright miracle. Too bad that I couldn’t see it for myself when you dominate the continent……” Krasic looked up at the stars in the sky and said in an unprecedented relaxing tone, “I haven’t enjoyed this scenery with this relaxed mindset for so long. Just look at how beautiful the stars are!”

Before Fei could respond, he looked at Fei and laughed, “From now on, nothing can restraint me, and I don’t owe anybody anything!”

As another wind blew by, Krasic’s thin body quickly deteriorated. His face aged at an insane speed. He quickly turned into an elder who had a lot of wrinkles. Then, his skin lost its glow and dried…… Lastly, his body started to break down into dust and fly away.

Like a sand statue, he was gone a little by little until he disappeared in the cold wind.

The body of the Martial Saint of Zenit spread across the land he protected for 26 years.

His ashes got on the houses, white defense wall, black soil, great mountains, running rivers……. and the entire Zenit Empire!

Fei watched everything quietly. He knew this was the terrifying aftereffect of the [Energy Channel Radical Revival Forbidden Technique]. Until Krasic’s body completely broke away, Fei suddenly recalled something this elder had said – After tonight, there won’t be a Martial Saint of Zenit.
