Hail the King,Chapter 647: Path of Assassin - Read free novels online

Since Blacky was able to leap over the dragon gate, it was able to undergo a magnificent transformation.

Ever since Blacky took that leap of faith at that valley half a month ago, it was a turning point in its life. It broke the limitation that the holy creator put on it when it was born, and it achieved something that was unimaginable! It turned from an ordinary dog into a mutated supreme king-level demon beast.

Right now, its body was as giant as a huge mountain, and it scared all the demon beasts in the area.

Its huge wings looked like they were made from numerous black blades, and the wingspan was at least 100 meters. As Blacky fluttered its wings, clouds of dark green wind-elemental energy circulated underneath them, lifting its huge body into the air.

It was really agile, and it dashed toward the Sky Castle on the Five Sword Sky Mountain instantly.

Inzagi stood on Blacky’s back calmly as his long hair fluttered in the air.

Suddenly, Blacky sniffed through its nose as if it smelled something unique.

It fluttered its wings and turned around 180 degrees rapidly. Its huge eyes emitted a terrifying red flame as if it detected something, and it opened its mouth and roared as it spat out a cloud of orange fire.

This terrifying fireball dashed toward one location like a meteor, dragging out a long time.

Boom!

As it dashed forward quickly, it slammed onto something invisible.

The space rippled like waves, and the huge fireball exploded, releasing heated energy in all directions and burning everything that it touched.

As this explosion took place, it felt like a portion of the blue sky was torn open like a painting, and black cracks appeared.

Suddenly, a scream sounded, and a figure who was burned black fell from the cracks. This person tried to dash away instantly without even turning his head around. He turned into a phantom and quickly disappeared.

Blacky let out a series of terrifying yet muffled roars.

However, it paused for a second and didn’t chase. Instead, it flew toward the Sky Castle.

It quickly passed through the invisible energy sphere that protected the Sky Castle, and it landed on the central mountain before the [Godly King Palace].

Inzagi jumped off Blacky and entered this palace.

Fei was resting on [The Throne of Chaos] which was located behind that mystic white lotus deep inside the palace.

As if he knew that Inzagi was coming, Fei opened his eyes and glanced at Inzagi up and down. Then, he said with a pleasant smile on his face, “Nice, you finally broken through the threshold. Haha, you even jumped up twice and reached mid-tier Nine-Star! This is unexpected. Did something unique happen in Hot Spring Gate?”

Inzagi bowed respectfully and told Fei everything that had happened, didn’t matter if it was big or small.

“Eh, you did good, and killing only Kulun is a better decision. Even though old Tolemy and Dillies are bad eggs as well, Zenit is going to need them. Chaos is about to arrive on the continent, and killing them and destroying the [Rapid Wind Legion] would only decrease the overall strength of Zenit and turn Hot Spring Gate into a mess in a short time. With them there, they could guard the gate that would block anyone from coming to our Chambord from the south.” Fei nodded after hearing Inzagi’s report, and he was pleased with what Inzagi and the other four black knights did at Hot Spring Gate.

He thought for a bit and added with a smile, “I didn’t expect that there would be any survivors that night; this is a pleasant surprise. This must be the reason why you leveled up two realms, right? Good, just treat Danielle and the kids according to your own plan. Let the Revenue Department do their investigations. If they all have clean backgrounds, let them join Chambord. Only the kids who experienced hardship would treasure what they have. Like Owen and others, they will become elites of Chambord sooner or later.”

“Thank you, Master.” A thankful expression appeared on Inzagi’s face.

Then, he told Fei about the meeting between the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group]. After that, Inzagi added worryingly, “According to Michael’s test, their intents aren’t pure. I’m afraid that they are conspiring about something, and they aren’t friendly toward Chambord. They might be planning to ruin Your Majesty’s wedding in a few days.”

“They are just a bunch of clowns!”

Lights appeared in Fei’s eyes, and it seemed like he already knew about this. As he knocked on the armrest of [The Throne of Chaos] with his fingers, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then, he said, “You guys can further investigate this matter between the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] and the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], and I won’t ask any questions. You guys can use any methods you want, as long as you don’t cause a big scene.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Eh, you are at mid-tier Nine-Star, but the residual power of the godly herb that I gave you is still in your body, and it isn’t converted into warrior energy yet. You don’t need to stay in the Sky Castle to cultivate temporarily. Peaceful cultivation is useless to you at the moment, and you need more experience as an assassin. You need to know that the path of assassins is about taking the perfect opportunity in chaos. Once you miss, you can retreat and re-strategize or wait nearby for another opportunity. You need to judge the situation well and make the best decision. It is quite chaotic in the city right now, and it is the perfect environment for the five of you to practice. Let loose and trigger changes in your bodies through real combat!”

“Yes, Master.” Inzagi bowed again and left the [Godly King Palace].

Now, Fei was the only person in this palace, and that mystic white lotus was slowly swaying on the surface of the pond.

Little Raccoon was nowhere to be found. Since it didn’t fit in, it rarely played with Blacky and the three little dragons. It usually ran around and chilled in the Sky Castle, and it was rare to see this animal unless it was dining time.

A blue portal appeared in the palace quietly, and Fei stepped into it.

……

-Nightmare Mode, Diablo World-

It snowed every day on the summit of Mount Arreat, and everywhere was covered.

A terrifying battle was taking place, and it had lasted close to four hours in the heavy snow.

Suddenly, an angry roar sounded, and it shattered all the snowflakes that were falling from the sky, signaling the end to the battle.

On the ancient altar, one of the three Ancients, Talic, finally fell. This most powerful Ancient roared and turned back into a life-like golden statue. Clouds of golden mists flew out of this golden statue and into Fei’s body, nurturing all the cells in his body and strengthening his power.

This was the completion of the second last quest, [Rite of Passage], on the fifth map, [Harrogath].

Just like Normal Mode, since Fei wanted to kill Baal in the [Worldstone Chamber], he had to endure the test put up by the three Ancients, Talic, Krolic, and Madawc. These three Ancients in Nightmare Mode were many times more powerful than the Ancients in Normal Mode, and the three skills, [Whirlwind], [Leap Attack], and [Throw Axes], reached a new level in their hands.
