Chapter 236: Fei's Calculation, Death Trap
"Sky Frost Fist – Covering the Sky"
While in mid-air, Fei shouted as a crystal-like fist mark, that was 1000 meters across, appeared in the sky. Fei punched out, and his fist pushed the fist mark, containing all the variations punched into one, into the Fifth Executive Knight.
After the continuous battle, Fei got a lot more experience. His Sky Frost Fist got smoother, and he mastered two killer variations: "Covering the Sky" and "One Strike to Kill". Covering the Sky was the product of mastering the Barbarian's pure physical force; Fei was now able to condense 50 punches into one fist mark, and this strike would hit the opponent like missiles. However, One Strike to Kill had the Barbarian Skill [Bash] mixed into it; it could increase the damage and knock the opponent back. However, since Fei's level 40 Barbarian still wasn't at his peak, the damage wasn't there. That was why Fei didn't really kill either Executive Knights, like the name suggested.
Bam!
The crystal-like fist mark smashed into the Fifth Executive Knight, and the energy spilled in all directions.
The crystal-like force instantly enveloped the entirety of the Fifth Executive Knight. The Executive Knight wasn't a match with Fei in terms of physical strength, and he barely blocked this strike when his warrior energy wasn't flowing in his body freely. Like a punching bag, his body flew back in the air as he puked up mouthfuls of blood.
Buzz...
All the murmuring among the crowd got even louder. Tens of thousands of people from these affiliated kingdoms were shocked. They opened their mouths wide and let out strings of sounds with unknown meanings That was all that they can do to vent the surprise and fear in their minds.
In the crowd, the young king of Byzantine was so excited that his body shivered.
"Powerful.... Unmatched!! Merciless Murderous Spirit, reckless behavior. This is a real king! Not only with powerful strength, but also an equally powerful heart! Compared with him, I'm a nobody!" He thought.
The young king was shocked as well. He knew if he was in Fei's position, he wouldn't dare to attack the Executive Knights. After witnessing this scene, he seemed to understand something.
"Learn... I need to learn from the King of Chambord, everything! Every single action of his resembles the presence of a king!"
On top of worrying for his idol, this little king of Byzantine, who no one paid attention to, had an unprecedented seed planted in his mind.
...
On the stage.
The strike 'Covering the Sky' knocked the Fifth Executive Knight, who was already at a disadvantage, away, but Fei didn't hesitate as a frenzy appeared in his eyes. He stomped on the ground as his body shot at the Fifth Executive Knight like a cannonball, and his fists punched out repeatedly. As the air-piercing noise sounded, numerous crystal fist marks struck the Fifth Executive Knight firmly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
32-second Stretch Ends Back Pain & Sciatica (Watch)
Patriot Health Zone
Although the Fifth Executive Knight was trying to turn the situation around, Fei was able to capture this great opportunity and beat this Executive Knight into the air like a sandbag.
The Fifth Executive Knight backed off as his blood spilled everywhere, but he soon reached the magic barrier. The violent crystal fist mark landed on his body like raindrops, and his green warrior energy was only able to help his body with alleviating some of the forces from the punches and nothing else. Although he tried to fight back, he couldn't do it.
"Damn it! Shit!"
A terrifying warrior energy exploded from afar. This time, the Second Executive Knight, who was in a set of monster-like armor, finally woke up from the extra-damage and knocked back effect of the 'One Strike to Kill' attack. A Dragon-like roar sounded from his throat as the strange black warrior energy flames turned into various black snakes that were flickered their tongues as his body was completely enveloped.
"Oh, this is the Second Executive Knight's most famous strike! Haha, looks like he is really angry about this!"
Matt Razi was still wandering around as he drank the wine and lightly fanned himself with his golden feather fan. Although the golden wine cup in his hand looked small, to the point where a normal person could even chug it in one go, there was still the delicious smell of liquor coming from that cup. Matt Razi had drunk more than a barrel of wine since the beginning, but there was still drink in the cup. There were also a lot of explosions happening on the stage, but everything close around him was calm. His hair and robes were still naturally fluttering in the light breeze.
Of course –
Before Marr Razi finished, the energy around the Second Executive Knight surged like crazy. Those black energy snakes screamed as they dashed towards Fei.
Advanced Combat Technique – Black Flame Snakes' Kisses.
The Second Executive Knight's figure was hidden in the black flames.
Although no temperature could be felt on these snakes, even the ground that was protected by the magic barrier turned black. When the black snakes toughed the sky-blue magic barrier, a series of cracking and sizzling noises sounded as if the energy was eating away the barrier. It was really strange.
As the dozens of black snakes flew in the air, they intervened with each other and formed a series of images. In the end, they turned into a huge symbol that looked like a drill head rotating at a high-speed as it aimed Fei's back.
The strike was impressive.
No wonder it was the famous combat technique of one of the ten Executive Knights.
Before the strike arrived, Fei who was still 30 meters away felt an intolerable pain in his back as if his muscles were about to be torn apart.
"Haha, great! The Third Strike of Sky Frost Fists ..."
Fei didn't turn around and counterattack as everyone expected. He didn't stop attacking and pressuring the Fifth Executive Knight. Fei suddenly punched out at a strange angle, and this fist mark traveled through all other fist marks. There was no way that the Fifth Executive Knight could dodge it.
When it hit, the Fifth Executive Knight felt dizzy as if he lost control of his body.
"Now is the time!"
Fei thought as he used [Leap]. He instantly appeared beside the Fifth Executive Knight, grabbed onto the Fifth Executive Knight's neck, and threw him out like a dirtbag.
Looking from afar, it looked like the Fifth Executive Knight was voluntarily taking on the Black Flame Snakes' Kisses...
The Fifth Executive Knight who lost control of his body instantly opened his eyes big as his pupils contracted.
On the other side, the Second Executive Knight's pupils also contracted.
Black Flame Snakes' Kisses was the Second Executive Knight's proudest combat technique, and this technique was the reason why he had the second seat in the Imperial Knight Palace. In the last twenty years, a lot had happened to the Imperial Knight Palace, and a lot of masters were defeated by this technique. Even warriors who had similar power levels to the Second Executive Knight lost to him after this technique.
However, this almost secretive technique also had its flaw; it couldn't be taken back after being cast.
After he unleashed it, there was zero chance that he could cancel it. If he really wanted to do it, the power of the technique would bite back at him mercilessly, and he would be injured by it severely.
After all, the Second Executive Knight didn't expect Fei would come up with such a dirty trick to counter this.
He also didn't expect the Fifth Executive Knight to fly towards the attack like an idiot. He knew the Fifth Executive Knight knew the power of this strike, but he was really mad since it looked like the Fifth Executive Knight was trying to block the attack for Fei voluntarily.
"Shit!"
The Second Executive Knight couldn't do anything but to end the technique forcefully.
Instantly, blood rushed up his throat and filled his mouth; his internal organs were injured by the Black Flame Snakes' Kisses.
However, such a rushed cancel wasn't effective.
Although the rotating speed of the drill like snakes decreased, the residual power of it still dashed towards the Fifth Executive Knight who looked defenseless. The residual power of the technique was still so powerful that the ear-piercing noise and the sparks in the air justified it.
With the strike coming so close, the cracked magic armor of the Fifth Executive Knight's body finally broke into little pieces under this terrifying tearing force.
As the devastating black drill head was about to go into the Fifth Executive Knight who just woke up from the dizziness and destroy him, changes occurred –
A figure appeared in between the drill head and the Fifth Executive Knight from an impossible angle and with impossible speed. With his hands on each side, a golden flame lit up and he grabbed onto the drill head and the Fifth Executive Knight; this death trap was resolved.
Boom!
The residual power in the Black Flame Snakes' Kisses was sent away, and the Fifth Executive Knight fell onto the stage.
It was really quiet on the stage.
Around the stage, numerous eyes locked onto the figure that suddenly appeared in the battle.
Chapter 237: Fucked Off
On the Stage.
The black warrior energy flame disappeared, and everything was visible again.
With the golden fan, golden cup, and the golden robe, Matt Razi stood in the middle of the stage casually.
"Hey, little guy. It's ok to beat these dumbasses to vent off your anger, but don't go overboard. It won't be good if anyone is killed here." Matt Razi smiled as he looked at Fei.
"They are the ones who provoked me." Fei acted as if he was wronged and wasn't feeling great, but he was actually really surprised.
Although he knew that this man was a master, he didn't expect him to have such an impressive strength; in fact, Matt Razi's strength was several times above Fei's estimations. Fei was sure that he couldn't stop the strike from the Second Executive Knight and the Fifth Executive Knight's body, and Matt Razi was able to do that easily. Not every a single hair on Matt Razi's head got messy.
"Eh, to be honest, I don't like them too. However, little guy, you can't really kill them. Do you think Six Star Warriors are easy to cultivate? They are not crops that you can just grow anywhere..." Matt Razi zapped his mouth as he drank a bit more and tried to break it down for Fei, "The situation for the empire is more complicated, and they are still needed. You have gained enough respect today, and you showed us what you got. Listen to my advice and stop here!"
"No problem, I will listen to you. But I'm afraid that they..." Fei didn't want to actually kill the three Executive Knight, so he said with hesitation as he looked at the three Executive Knights.
"Humph, today, the King of Chambord... must die!" Due to canceling the combat technique, blood had started dripping down from the Second Executive Knight's lips. However, he didn't give Matt Razi any respect as he shouted the sentence out word by word.
He took out three blue medicine balls from his storage space and threw one to the Fourth and the Fifth Executive Knight each. They all took the medicine, and the injuries on their bodies quickly recovered. After all, they were Six Star Warriors, and the medicine worked really well with the help from their warrior energies. In ten seconds, the majority of the injuries on their bodies were healed.
These blue medicine balls were really precious as their effects were great. To a lot of warriors, each of the medicine ball represented another life. Even though the Second Executive Knight's status was really high in the empire, he only had five of those medicine balls. Those were treated like treasures by him. He didn't even like other people looking at them. However, he was so infuriated by Fei today that he took out and used the three of them with the other two Executive Knights.
Today, he was determined to arrest Fei and throw Fei into the Black Jail at the Imperial Knight Palace
From the perspective of the Second Executive Knight, they lost because they underestimated Fei and let Fei take control of all the advantages in the fight. With a second chance, the Second Executive Knight was sure that they wouldn't lose.
After seeing this, Fei's murderous spirit appeared!
Without cutting out the root problems, more and more troubles would appear one after another.
After knowing that his opponents posed real threats, Fei wasn't going to hold back.
Even if he killed the three Executive Knight, Fei was sure that he could find a way to not get punished.
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
Fei shrugged at Matt Razi as he smiled to show that he was innocent.
After seeing this Matt Razi didn't try to stop it again. Instead, he laughed as he drank more wine.
As another battle to the death was about to begin, a calm yet majestic voice sounded from the direction of St. Petersburg –
"That's it, come back!"
After hearing this voice, the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Executive Knight's bodies all froze. Although surprise and unwillingness appeared in their eyes, they didn't hesitate to move. They roared, looked at Fei viciously, and then turned into three dashes of lights as they rushed back towards the Imperial Knight Palace.
This scene surprised everyone!
"Did some big person from the capital get involved?" The crowd thought.
Who could it be? With one sentence, the three Executive Knights who wanted to tear Fei into pieces fucked off and left the stage obediently.
"Your majesty, I'm afraid that they won't end here. Take care!"
The Third, Sixth, and Eighth Executive Knights who were standing by the edge of the stage walked up to Fei and said their farewells. As Fei stared at them with shock, they walked up to the Seventh Executive Knight Kelud who was still unconscious. They carried Kelud as they dashed back at the Imperial Knight Palace and disappeared.
Instantly, the tense atmosphere was gone after that mysterious voice.
For a brief moment, it was completely silent around the stage.
Everyone in the crowd stared at this king as they felt very dizzy as if their brains were shorted out. No one foresaw this situation; it got out of hand real fast. However, the King of Chambord surprised everyone as he beat four Executive Knights like dummies... if it wasn't for that mysterious voice, no one would know how this situation would end.
At this moment, something unexpected happened –
Boom!
An indefensible force suddenly appeared from the direction of the capital like a meteor. That was the purest form of yellow earth element warrior energy; it wasn't using any combat techniques. From four kilometers away, it dashed towards the First Sword-Testing Stage.
The target of this vast indefensible force was Fei, the King of Chambord.
Fei's face changed color.
This force wasn't something that his level 40 Barbarian couldn't bear.
What scared Fei the most was that he felt like his body couldn't dodge the attack after being targeted by it. The only option he had was to go against it.
Whoosh!
Mystic flames appeared in the air.
Fei grabbed in the air, and two blades appeared in his hands: [Bul-Kathos' Sacred Charge] and [Bul-Kathos' Tribal Guardian]. As soon as the two blades appeared, a series of magical power flowed through his body.
These set items offered Fei various buffs such as +2 levels on all skills, +200 accuracy, + 20 fire damage, + 25 defense... With these two blades, Fei's abilities increased a lot.
Tink! Tink!
The two blades danced in the air, and various marks were left in space.
The body of the sword roared as the tinking noise resonated in the sky.
A red and ancient flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere and formed a series of flame swords. Like arrows shot out by a formation of archers, they all dashed towards the force that was coming from St. Petersburg.
Fei also instantly activated [Double Swing] which was a key skill of the Barbarian.
His blades could either attack two targets or one target twice simultaneously.
This skill offered Fei the ability to act like two level 40 Barbarians. In other words, Fei was able to instantly deal double the damage.
With the help of the set items, Fei bashed out flame sword energy one after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The flame sword flew in all directions, but they all ended up striking that yellow warrior energy from all directions. However, like eggs hitting a rock, the flame sword energies shattered and left a lot of residual fire energy in the air.
The vast energy was only stopped by this attempt by a little bit, then it continued its dash towards Fei.
"Shit! What is this power?"
Under pressure, Fei cursed as he sensed being targeted even more. As that vast energy got closer to him, blood started to leak out of Fei's nose, ears, and mouth. This power was beyond Fei's limit. It was beyond the limit of a star warrior and reached the moon-class elites.
No more holding back!
As he knew he couldn't handle the force, Fei bit his teeth and gave up on the Barbarian Mode. He instantly switched to Sorceress Mode and used the skill [Teleport].
[Teleport], it could ignore all obstacles and instantly move Fei to anywhere he could see.
Tink!
It was a light noise.
0.0001 second before he was hit by the force, Fei's stiff body blurred. He disappeared from where he was standing and appeared behind Matt Raiz.
Boom!
That terrifying force from St. Petersburg finally landed on the floor of the stage with a destructive spirit.
Chapter 238: The King of Kings
Fei thought the entire Sword-Testing Stage would be instantly destroyed to debris by the horrifying force. However, the scene he had imagined did not take place, neither even a crack appeared on the floor of the stage. It was totally beyond his expectation.
This was because the irresistible horrifying force disappeared in all a sudden when it almost struck the floor.
Completely disappeared.
It was as if the incredible force had never appeared before, which even did not leave a trace.
It gave Fei goosebumps — what a horrifying mean of force manipulation!
It was inconceivable!
But right at the moment when the force was about to disappear, Fei had clearly heard a voice crying "Hum!" in his ears, which was gentle but clear. It seemed that the owner of the voice has been very shocked by the fact that Fei was able to escape from the blow.
"This single blow is just a little lesson to you, that the dignity of the Imperial Knight Palace cannot be violated by anyone at will...little bastard, keep it in your mind, it won't be as easy as this time in future, humph!"
The voice that cried just now came in Fei's ears again quickly.
The words sounded like a threat.
However, the whisper had given Fei an intimate feel for some reason.
He could recognize that the voice definitely belonged to the same person who previously ordered the six Execution Knights to retreat with only one sentence. The voice was calm and casual without any trace of hostility, but it contained a sort of sense of natural nobility and power beyond doubt. As a result, no one was able to develop a thought of resistance or disobedience at all.
This was an absolutely horrifying master warrior.
As the whirring wind blew, Fei stood behind Matt Razi waiting in silence for a little while, well prepared to evacuate by using the "Teleport" skill of the sorceress...But this force did not appear anymore after the failure of the blow.
"Hey kid, why did you run behind me just now?" Matt Razi foamed with rage, expressing his dissatisfaction with Fei's behavior.
"Er, it was unintentional, absolutely unintentional!���
Fei chuckled, thinking that: "Am I that silly to tell you the truth that I chose to hide behind you and used you as a shield just in case being killed by the angry mysterious master warrior?"
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
"Hoo! I really didn't expect ah, you kid...this time, you are really fucking cool!" The empire's number one traveling poet of Zenit stared at Fei complicatedly, sincerely complimented: "Ha, ha, ha, at last, even Akinfeev, the Executive Knight-Captain of Imperial Knight Palace acted on you himself and failed to screw you. F*ck, except for three places in Zenit Empire, you can now go anywhere you like!"
As if responding to Matt Razi's comment, there had been thunderous cheers suddenly arising around the Sword-Power-Test Stage. Tens of thousands of people screamed at the same time. The huge noise was like the endless waves flooding from the horizon, wave after wave. The vast surging sound was like tidal waves flapping the distant Moro Mountains and the walls of the imperial capital.
"King of Chambord! King of Chambord!! King of Chambord!!! King of Chambord!!!!! King of Chambord!!!!!"
All sorts of cheers that contained the various dialects of their own nations came together to form the same phrase. For the inferior warriors and even some minor nobles and officials from the 250 affiliated kingdoms, they were favoring King of Chambord with regard to their feelings. Although they previously thought highly of the Seventh "Bloodthirst Knight" almost in a prevailing way due to the accumulated influences by the Execution Knights over a long time, they were rooting for the underdog in their minds.
After all, the King of Chambord was just like them.
From this perspective, the King of Chambord appeared to be closer to them.
For many people from the affiliated kingdoms, it was like the Chambord Kind had been representing them to fight a duel. Perhaps the duel hid a lot of things they did not know, but they preferred to regard the dual as a battle between the power of the imperial nobles and the force of the affiliated kingdoms.
This was a very simple feeling.
There had been wind blowing from the distant Moro Mountains while everyone shouted "King of Chambord".
Fei slightly closed his eyes and raised his arms up. He quietly switched to the "Paladin Mode", and his body was covered by a touch of golden light. An atmosphere that was noble and benevolent beyond words softly spread out. The beautiful sunlight of early afternoon showered down and shone upon the mass silver thick snow and Fei's body. There seemed to be only one figure left in the vast world. Fei opened his arms as if he was embracing the entire world.
At this moment, this young figure that was invincible and aggressive to a crazy degree had been engraved in the hearts and souls of the people from the 250 affiliated kingdoms so firmly and deeply that he would never be forgotten.
It was the effect that Fei had made on purpose.
What he had wanted was to greatly impress the tens of thousands of people from the affiliated kingdoms around him with his image as a king.
He did not mean to pretend to be something else deliberately.
Fei firmly believed that what he had demonstrated by himself on the Sword-Testing Stage, such as the tough strength, the crazy courage to attack Executive Knights, and the valiant image under "Paladin Mode"....all of those would have subtle effects for sure at a certain time in the future!
"From now on, you are only inferior to the great emperor of the empire. King of Chambord, you have become the king of the kings!" Matt Razi finally commented softly without hiding his voice. His words were clearly broadcasted as if it had been publicized deliberately.
Even Matt Razi had put away the cynical expression as well. He glanced at the cheering crowd below the stage, then he looked at Fei whose temperament had turned into that of a noble leader.
Having left his comment, the empire's number one poet did not hesitate anymore and gladly drank a mouthful of good wine. Then he turned into a golden light and disappeared into the distant sky.
The perpetual cheers of the crowd below the stage had been surging all the time.
A Knight of Holy Church in black armor came up and approached Fei respectfully. He said: "Your Majesty, this is the invitation card from my lord. If your majesty have a chance in future, please come visit!"
Except for the symbol of Summer Palace, the black invitation card was simple and solemn in a square shape without an extra mark. The Summer Palace was the headquarter of the Holy Church at Zenit, and its image was stamped with gold gilding on the upper right corner of the front. Even for those top nobilities in the St.Petersburh, not many of them were qualified to use gold gliding invitation cards like this.
Fei did not want to appear as snobby, so he accepted the invitation card after thinking for a second.
The knight in black armor slightly bowed, turned around, and went down the stage.
Many nobles in the VIP area stared at Fei enviously.
The influence that the Holy Church had in the imperial capital was actually not weaker than that of the imperial royal family. Getting an invitation card with a gold gliding summer palace showed that the King of Chambord had drawn the attention of the Bishop.
Before long, the group of Holy Church knights below the stage urged their horses and left for the imperial capital.
The magic carriage, which had been closely guarded, left as well.
From suddenly appearing at the start of the duel to leaving freely at this moment, the mysterious person in the magic carriage had not made his or her appearance and remained adequately mysterious. As a result, it could be just guessed in a vague way that it must be an influential figure at the Holy Church, but no one knew who he or she was!
The departure of the Holy Church did not reduce the crowd's crazy cheers. Instead, the cheers were getting bolder due to the lack of pressure and constraints.
The crowd around the stage were starting to leave in the crazy cheers.
Fei was about to leave as well, but suddenly ——
"King of Chambord, Alexander? Good, good indeed. Among the 250 affiliated kingdoms, you can be regarded as the number one. Although you acted a bit impulsively and offended the Imperial Knight Palace, you'd be ok if you be careful afterward..." A tall and handsome young man wearing an eagle helmet flew onto the stage from the VIP area by using the magic Wings of Wind. He nodded at Fei in a manner that was filled with arrogance as if he had been looking down. He stared at Fei and said: "Your strength has awed me. If you are willing to serve the Dean Family, the kingdom of Chambord will be able to soar to new heights after this competition."
Fei glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot; he then turned around and just ignored this young man.
"What is Dean Family? How dare you act in such a way in front of me?" Fei thought.
"You..." Having felt being disregarded by Fei, the young man in eagle helmet glared furiously at Fei as if he was being insulted.
Along with a fragrant breeze, a graceful figure with irresistible allure showed up on the stage all a sudden.
It was Beyonce, the most beloved daughter of the Beag Family.
The beautiful young lady, who was as cold and noble as an iceberg, stared at Fei up and down. She gave others an impression that she was actually haughty and unapproachable despite her good look. She came over and said rudely: "Although you're still far away from my standards, I'd like to give you a chance. King of Chambord, you have been allowed to pursue me from now on. As long as you perform well, I might consider going on a date with you ....
"HA..."
Fei almost burst into laughter.
"This girl really felt too good about herself, right?" He thought.
Fei didn't know which noble forces in the empire these two people standing in front of him were from, but they were almost exactly the same as the Golden Sun Knight Sutton and Dillies from the Hot Spring Those born with a golden spoon in their mouth all felt very good about themselves and thought that they were the center of the universe; it was stupid.
Two idiots!
Fei shook his head as he found them both funny and annoying.
While ignoring the two people who just showed up, he waved to the crowd below the stage, and that caused a mass of responding cheers again.
West in St. Petersburg.
The eleven giant black towers stand loftily at the Imperial Knight Palace.
The main black tower was in the middle. In the spacious hall on the first level of the main tower, there were two giant statues of knights brandishing their swords on horses vividly; each of them was at least as a hundred meters tall. At the foot of the status, a stalwart figure stood backward with bright red cape spread out which made the figure taller and greater. Out of the quietness, a sense of natural nobility and dignity spread out invisibly.
"Your Highness!"
Six figures timidly kneeled down on the glossy ground.
They were the six Execution Knights who just came back from NO. One Sword Testing Stage in the campsite ten kilometers out of Imperial Capital.
"Well, Second Knight, are you dissatisfied with me for calling you back brashly?" the stalwart figure hadn't turned back, but his golden hair went down quietly along the bright cape till his waist. His voice contained the power to affect people's soul.
"I…dare not"
The Second Knight's eyes revealed a sense of unwillingness and hatred which however was quickly replaced by thick fear and respect. In front of this tall and great man, strong and fearless Second Executive Knight didn't dare to have any disobedience. To others, he was the second most powerful figure in the Imperial Knight Palace, but a small thought of this man in front of him would make him lose everything with no doubt.
"well, no? That means there is dissatisfaction, right?" The man standing under the statues asked lightly with his back still facing these Executive Knights.
"No, no. I, I just …" The Second Executive Knight was suddenly too nervous to explain.
"Enough! No explanation is needed. You all know my taboo. Whoever dares to manipulate the Imperial Knights will prepare to be killed! You really think I know nothing about what has happened this time?" The giant figure suddenly turned over with an exotic black mask under golden long hair. Without the appearance of his face, the pair of sky blue pupils sent out cold lights. "It looks like the Imperial Knight Palace has been quiet for too long. Someone has forgotten the bloody history happened before. The Second Knight, why did you make things difficult for King of Chambord and dare to break the fairness of the Sword Testing Stage in front of tens of thousands of people? Are you going to challenge the dignity of the laws made by Emperor Yassin?"
The Second Knight lowered his head to the ground right away with terror.
"The Imperial Knight Palace's reputation is damaged because of your doing!" The giant shadow walks toward the gate of the tower with a series of steps with the bright red cape dragged on the ground smooth as a mirror; it looked like a river filled with boiled blood running through the hall.
"The Second Knight, the Fourth Knight, and the Fifth Knight, you three had done things without regards to knight's code and will be sent to black prison for 30 days. The Third Knight, the Sixth Knight, and The Eighth Knight, you three will also be sent to black prison for 10 days!"
The figure covered by the bloody red cape disappeared while his voice still resonated in the hall.
No one dared to question such order.
"Yes, your Highness!" the six took the order with knees down.
Men, Try This Tonight - You'll Never Need the Blue Pill Again!
Patriot Health Zone
Suddenly, a red flare comes out of the ground and surrounds the six knights. The glossy and hard ground becomes soft as a swamp, and it swallowed the six knights instantly. When the red flare was gone, the six people disappear completely.
All of sudden, the whole tower had no one inside, and it was filled with unspeakable coldness and emptiness.
Inside the tower, there were hundreds of stone pillars sculpted with all kinds of knights fighting with swords, telling the histories either with sadness or from a long time ago. At the center of the whole tower, the two giant status of knights could be sensed with unspeakable fairness and mercy, but the giant white swords looked like they were contaminated by something blackish like rust.
…
On the top of the gate of the St. Petersburg.
Zenit's God of War, Andrew Arshavin, quietly looked at the No.1 Sword Testing Stage. His looked at the figure thousands of meters away; that man had his arms open as if he was embracing the world…
Beside the young military leader, there was a group of solid solders under metal armors.
The atmosphere filled with tension coming out of nowhere.
"Unexpected, really unexpected…his power has already become so terrifyingly strong. In this world, is there really such unbelievable genius? "
Arshavin's hands gently rub the cold walls with an unknown feeling running inside him. The person who let the number one battle legion, Iron-Blood Legion, and always stayed calm and emotionless suddenly had complicated feelings inside that he has never felt before.
"When we met the first time, he was only a small king who was barely able to step into the level of a five star warrior and had to survive depending on those dirty tactics like fake death. But now, he could defeat four Execution Knights by himself… "
Arshavin was speechless with his head up.
He thought of the suggestion that the elder princess Talisha made, and he has to admit that this wise sister of his was correct once again.
"Before it gets dark, have someone to send a congratulation gift to King of Chambord on winning his battle in my name."
"Yes, your Highness!"
…
At the campsite ten kilometers away, around No.1 Sword Testing Stage.
The cheers continued.
The kings of affiliated kingdoms looked serious and start to leave under the protection of the guards. The shadow on the Sword Testing Stage made them feel hopeless and tired. After this battle, everyone knows the king of Chambord would shock the whole Zenit empire. Among the 250 affiliated kingdoms ruled by the empire, no one was able to beat this small level 6 affiliated kingdom.
No, maybe there was one person!
[One Sword]
The legendary low-key prince who was secretive in his movement and came from the Number 1 affiliated kingdom 'Winterside'.
Publicly recognized as the number one prince among all 250 affiliated kingdoms, this young prince had kept a low profile despite his high reputation. He had experienced more than one hundred battles without one lost, especially in the battle with Spartak Empire five years ago at the border of Zenit Empire. He killed a six-star warrior and an important in the royal family of Spartak Empire by himself surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers. This battle made [One Sword] famous five years ago. Since then, he practiced by himself and become more unexpected. He battled less and less; no one knew what level he was on now.
Now, only [One Sword] was able to fight with the king of Chambord.
The kings of affiliated kingdoms left with different thoughts which didn't prevent others from worship the king of Chambord, especially those warriors from the affiliated kingdoms. Most of them were born into low classes, and some of them didn't even reach any star level. They lived in ice and fire and walked close to death every day in order to provide for themselves and their families.
Azeroth respected those who were strong. Today what they have seen on No.1 Sword Testing Stage was like a battle of gods. The sky-covering energy, flaming long swords, soaring giant black-flaming serpents, blood fog, dazzling sword sways, and lightning-like movements…all of these were challenging their imaginations. They had never imagined the level of strength before this!
Out of the worship and passion for the winners, they wouldn't leave with their hot blood still boiling.
Among them, a group of young people wearing animal skins stare Fei; some slaves under broken robe knee on the ground praying like worshiping God of War; some other star leveled warriors sit cross-legged and feel the atmosphere left by the winners hoping to get some hint and break their bondage…
Among a group of people around one hundred meters away from Sword Testing Stage, a man stood there with a clean flaxen cape. He was a little slim but stood very straight. He was so quiet that neither the chaos around nor the drumbeat on the Sword Testing Stage was able to affect him even a little. He didn't show any strangeness or surge of energy or magic, but he was like invisible to others as no one came to him to ask anything.
"How dare you? Why are you ignoring me?"
On the Sword Testing Stage, Beag family's princess-like Beyonce stared at Fei strangely as if she was looking at a monster.
"King of Chambord! I give you the last chance. If it were not for your power today, how would Dean Family accept you, the king of a small level 5 affiliated kingdom?"
Dean Family's magic genius Dean Kazola points at Fei arrogantly and spoke with a threating tone.
Fei has the impulse to slap away these two spoiled kids.
He's been a man of two lives and had seen too many silly childish people. However, he had never seen anyone who begged with arrogant faces. "Are their brains out of order from longtime comfortable life?" He thought.
"Huh?" Fei suddenly found a familiar shadow under Sword Testing Stage.
The young King of Byzantine Kingdom.
This young king was looking at him as if he was worshipping an idol. Fei realized that something interesting changed since their encounter last night. Fei nod at him with satisfaction.
On another thought, Fei suddenly had the heart to fulfill this young man who shared a similar life story with himself.
Chapter 240: Seven Injure Fist (Part One)
After switching to Barbarian Mode, Fei grabbed in the air, and a great amount of force suddenly pulled on the King of Byzantine. In gasps, this young king was seized onto the stage.
"Nice to meet you, your majesty. I, Constantine, hasn't thanked you for your help yesterday." The young king quickly got out of the surprise and excitement as he saluted. The young king's name was Constantine.
"Don't worry about it. I saw some of my past in you."
Fei seemed very patient. He quickly told the young king about his experience, and it sounded just like what Constantine was going through. Both of them inherited the throne as their fathers passed away. Also, both of them had sly and greedy ministers who wanted to take over as well as lovers and warriors who protected them. The only thing was that Fei's fate as a little bit better than Constantine's. After hearing this, the young king knew why Fei was willing to help him, and the last bit of confusion in his mind as cleared away.
"Your strength is not bad, but you lack proper Warrior Energy Training Scroll and Combat Techniques. If you meet an opponent on your level, you would be at a disadvantage... eh, I have created these techniques. If you are interested, I can teach you..." Fei said as he took out a thin booklet from his storage space.
"Uh? Seven Injure Fist?"
"Yeah, this is the Seven Injure Fist. It is something that I developed and created after I got an inspiration. This technique is fancy and powerful. If you master this technique, there would be seven kinds of forces contained within one punch; fire-like direct force, water-like soft force, contraction force ... all of these forces would silently injure the internal organs of your enemies..." Fei started to bullshit again and made up a story. However, the power of the technique was real.
This so-call Seven Injure Fist was a knocked off version of one of the techniques that he read in a Wuxia Novel in his past life.
This was a technique that Fei created based on a Metal-Element Training Scroll he had and the energy pathing under his Assassin Mode. When Fei was testing it, he found that although this new technique could increase the strength of the trainee in a short time and it was really powerful, it had the shortcoming just like the technique he read in the Wuxia Book on Earth; it would deal a lot of damage to the internal organs of the trainee as well.
Due to this shortcoming, Fei hesitated and didn't let anyone close to him to training under this method. However, now it seemed like the best gift for this young king. After all, Fei wasn't such a nice person where he would give out these precious training scrolls to everyone he meets. If this young king wasn't annoying or didn't use his power evilly, Fei would try to come up with ways to eliminate the shortcoming for him in the future.
Of course, Fei didn't lie about the negative consequences as he explained everything to the young man.
"Thank you, your majesty! I'm willing to learn it. I understand that I need to sacrifice things in order to become stronger!"
Constantine looked at the training scroll in his hand as he quickly thought through all the pro and the cons. He was very excited to know that this scroll would grant him power in a short time. If there weren't other people watching and he didn't need to still uphold his status, he would single-kneeled on the ground to show his gratitude.
Fei glanced through everyone's face and saw variations of expressions. He knew what he did got people's attention, and the young King of Byzantine was receiving more attention too. From now on, it would depend on the young man's intelligence whether he would seize the opportunity or not.
"Since you are talking with me in front of tens of thousands of people, it might cause trouble for you in the future. Of course, the troubles could turn into opportunities too. Are you afraid?"
"Your majesty, I'm only here because of your generosity. I won't forget this!" The young king immediately understood what Fei was trying to do. He got more grateful as he bowed.
"Oh, since this is the case, you can leave now!"

Fei waved his hand again, and an invisible force carried the King of Byzantine down the stage that was more than 50 meters tall. After getting back to his guards, the young king left with his men without any hesitation.
"Who was that? It seemed like he is really close to the King of Chambord..."
"He looks like the king of another affiliated kingdom... Hmmmmmm, probably a southern kingdom..."
"What a luck.... He was spotted by the King of Chambord. With this relationship, he could soar to the sky..."
"He is the King of Byzantine, a level 6 affiliated kingdom." Someone in the crowd recognized Constantine.
Chapter 240: Seven Injure Fist (Part Two)
"I need to inform His Majesty about this. Looks like the plan we had needs to be changed. We can't get on the bad side of Byzantine; otherwise, the King of Chambord might be offended by it!"
"I didn't expect this. With the support of King of Chambord, even those level 1 affiliated kingdoms might not even want to stand on the other side of Byzantine... the benefits that the Byzantine Kingdom will receive from this competition could be already projected. That little king is so lucky."
��Quickly investigate the relationship between Chambord and Byzantine! This is urgent!"
"Haha, this is an opportunity! A great opportunity! Follow my command and quickly send gifts to Byzantine. Tell the King of Byzantine that we are willing to establish an alliance. Haha, if we can get to know the King of Chambord through this link, it would be even better!"
People chatted among themselves, and what just happened stuck in many people's head.
The adjacent kingdoms to Byzantine who wanted to divide up its territory after this competition got scared. They were glad that they hadn't executed on their plans yet. Otherwise, before they get any benefits, they would suffer great loss. King of Chambord even dared to attack the Executive Knights, let alone their little kingdoms.
The kingdoms who had friction and conflicts with Byzantine were concerned as well; they were thinking of ways to apologize and settle it once for all.
"Hey, are you even listening?" On stage, the princess of Beag Family – Beyonce got angry as she walked to Fei. With her chin high-up in the air, she said with a naughty tone: "I order you to apologize to me for your rudeness!"
"How dare you? As the king of a little level 6 affiliated kingdom, there is only so much you can do with your individual strength. How dare you reject our Dean Family?" The genius from Dean Family also got offended.
Fei turned around and walked away without saying anything.
"You... stop!" The princess-like girl got even more infuriated after being ignored by Fei.
"Haha, great! King of Chambord, if you walk down this stage today, you will regret this decision for the rest of your life!" The magic genius made another warning.
"Huh?"
Fei stop and looked back. His chilling stares made the two people feel like they were staring at a lethal weapon. These two young people quickly look away to ease their nerves.
"Humph." Fei sneered.
"You... Humph. King of Chambord, you are very powerful. However, you can't protect the whole kingdom yourself. You will regret being so rude to me. Any men who are rude to me would pay ..."
Whoosh!
Fei instantly dashed to Beyonce as he grabbed onto this girl's neck. Without any mercy, his iron-claw like fingers clenched her neck tightly that she opened her eyes wide and had a hard time to breathe. She dry-coughed and cried, but the warrior energy inside her body seemed to be locked; she couldn't put up a fight.
"How dare you? Let go of Miss Beyonce."
The warriors of Beag Family were all shocked to see this. They shouted as six of them quickly dashed onto the stage from the VIP area. Several warrior energy that had different colored flames targeted Fei's back.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Fei lightly waved his hands, and an invisible force surged.
As those warrior energy collided with this force, they disappeared like snow colliding onto a hot wall. Then, these guards physically smashed into this invisible wall. They gasped and whined as they fell down; blood dyed the color of the sky red.
"Idiot! In front of me, put away your arrogance and pride! If you dare to say anything else, then die!"
Fei's cold tone and even colder stares instantly melted away all of the girl's defense.
Her haughty body collapsed first. Her body started to shiver as she felt her mind had gone blank. An unprecedented fear appeared in her mind as she looked at Fei. She didn't doubt what Fei said; she knew that this hand around her neck would instantly crush her if she said anything more...
"Humph!"
Fei threw this arrogant girl onto the ground, and clouds of dust were instantly sent into the air.
"Also, this idiot!" Fei turned around and stared at the genius of Dean Family. Fei didn't hide his murderous spirit, and this young man felt like the sky was collapsing on top of his head. Didn't matter how hard he tried to use his magic power, he couldn't defend against it. Soon, he was forced to kneel down on the ground with his hands propping his body up; he couldn't move at all.
At this moment, this magic genius realized how powerful this King of Chambord was.
This man was thousands of times more powerful when he was the one experiencing it; after all, this didn't occur to him when he was watching. He had a feeling that this king could turn him into a pile of minced meat if the king just stared at him harder.
"If you guys try to bother me more, your lives won't be more precious than the stray dogs!"
Fei got ferocious as he looked at these two young people as well as other people in the VIP area. Didn't matter who they were, they didn't dare to look back at Fei in the eyes.

Chapter 241 Suddenly Arrival (Part One)
Like a chicken who won in a bloody chicken fight, Fei laughed as he left after defeating all of his opponents.
His laugh didn't sound humble at all; it didn't fit his royal image. However, everyone could hear the proudness in the laugh, and they sounded like a series of slaps in the face of the superpowers and noble families at St. Petersburg. To the nobles who were treated like gods in the city, the disdain and mockery in the laugh made them feel worse than dying. Despite the ugly looks on their faces, they still couldn't do anything to Fei.
At least now, they can't do anything.
After jumping off of the stage like a huge bird, Fei greeted the crowd as he walked away in cheers. With considerations in mind, he didn't let other Chambordians to follow him to the duel. After he got out of the crowd, he dashed away and disappeared.
...
...
Inside the camp of Chambord.
Since morning, Angela was in a state of uneasiness.
Although she had confidence in her man, the Sword-Testing Stage was a cruel place after all; corpses were being dragged off of the stage after shouts and metal colliding noises every day. Today, Fei was challenging one of the Ten Executives Knights that no one in Zenit Empire dared to offend. After she read the intelligence report made by Old Zola and Modric on Kelud, she got even more worried.
Despite the worrying, she knew that her Alexander couldn't escape from it.
She was smiling the whole time and didn't let any of her anxiousness to be shown. She didn't want Fei to see her worries and be affected by it during the duel. Since the beginning, she was trying to look confident in hoping that her optimism could bring Fei luck.
An hour ago, she saw Fei dashing from the camp and going to the duel.
At that moment, her heart was racing so fast that it almost reached her throat.
From that moment on, she hadn't relaxed at all; it was a torture for her every second. She was scared, anxious, and unease,
The only thing that she could do and did was to kneel down before a statue of the God of War and pray.
"All mighty God of War, I beg you for a miracle and please let Alexander return safely...."
The other person who was with Angela and kneeled at the same time was Emma.

Nueey
Outside of the camp, no one from Chambord went to see the duel as they all followed Fei's command. However, every soldier from Chambord was standing outside in silent as they looked at the direction of the stage earnestly.
Among them, people like Peter-Cech, Torres, and Warden Oleg were much stronger than everyone else, and they were able to sense the power surge happening from far away. Within all the surging, an unfamiliar bloody and murderous energy surged the most. Although they were quite far away, they still unleashed their energy as they tried to protect themselves subconsciously.
This sensation was too powerful.
But unlike Angela and Emma, People like Cech, Torres, and Oleg weren't was worried for Fei despite being scared by this energy.
Only the people who had fought alongside Fei before knew how powerful their king was. Ever since the black armored enemies attacked Chambord, most of these people had fought alongside Fei. Every time a disaster came in Chambord's way, their king was somehow able to handle all of that with his individual power. Especially after these people from Chambord got more powerful, they sensed that their distance from their king got bigger. Every time they thought that they were close to catching up with their king, they would realize that they were wrong. Especially since their king defeated the Tenth Executive Knight on the Dual-Tower Mountains, they finally figured out that they couldn't even "see" their king's figure on the road of cultivation.
Chapter 241 Suddenly Arrival (Part Two)
To be frank, they had a crazy trust in their king that was similar to how people of religion had 100% faith in their god.
This belief was based on the invincible image that their king painted.
This image was already deeply engraved into their bones and souls.
As everyone from Chambord looked at the direction of the stage despite not being able to see it, they suddenly heard shouts: "King of Chambord! King of Chambord! King of Chambord! King of Chambord!"
Tsunami-like sound waves came from the direction of the stage, and everyone from Chambord felt like they were standing in a sound storm. The loud cheers made them have a hard time standing up straight. They all looked at each other, and they all saw an expressing smile on each other's faces.
"This... his majesty won?" Oleg who mastered the art of flattering reacted first. The fatty shouted as he jumped up from the ground and try to have a better look at the stage.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone moved. Within the camp of Chambord, everyone started to try to climb on something tall. Although their king ordered them to not leave the camp, they could still get to a high point and look far.
After all, they couldn't hold back the emotions as they heard all the cheers.
In their minds, they could already picture their king standing on the stage with the long black hair fluttering. They would also picture their king being admired by tens of thousands of people and the Seventh Executive Knight lying on the ground bleeding!
Crack!
Due to the number of people who got on top of the tent to try to see the stage, a few tents couldn't handle this weight and collapsed...
"His majesty... his majesty won?" Angela ran out of the central tent as she asked with her shaky voice: "Peter, Torres, tell me... did Alexander win?"
After hearing this, Cech and Torres jumped off of their tents and single-kneeled in front of Angla. They responded respectfully: "Your Highness, although we are not sure of the details, we can tell for sure that his majesty won! The other surge of energy couldn't be sensed anymore, and his majesty's power is the only power that we can sense."
"Great, great!�� A bright smile shined on the girl's face as she said: "Quick, get ready to welcome his majesty back! We have to do a huge celebration this time.
"As you wish, your highness!"
After hearing the future queen's order, all the soldiers got hyped more as they started the preparation.
Angela, on the other hand, thought about the situation a bit more and then went back into the central tent to thank the God of War for protecting her Alexander.
"I have to smile and greet Alexander as he comes back!"
...
...
Fei put on a brown cloak as he slowly walked on the streets formed by the campsites.
He ignored the warriors and the slaves who were chatting among themselves about the duel that just took place; he was thinking back to and recreating the battle he just went through in his mind.
Fei discovered that he seemed to have a terrifying learning ability – he would learn and grasp on something that he has never thought about before after every fight. After fighting with four Executive Knights, he felt like the mists and fog in front his path of cultivation disappeared a lot!
"Could it be the effect of [Learn]? One of the three miraculous skills I got from Diablo World? Although I was smart before, I wasn't this crisp."
Fei who loved and praised himself all the time was even weird out by his own talent.
He thought as he organized all these new ideas and inspirations he got from the fights, and suddenly –
"Huh?" Fei's expression changed.
He suddenly had a terrifying sensation as if he was targeted by a monster.
"Someone is following me? A super powerful warrior?"
Fei didn't question the sensing ability of his level 40 Barbarian character. At that moment, he was sure that he was being followed. Also, this hidden beast was far beyond his level; Fei felt like he was a sand particle facing an ocean.
On top of all this, this person had an unhidden murderous spirit.
Chapter 242: Miraculous Skill – [Summon], Duriel (Part One)
Enemy!
Fei thought quickly as he didn't act strangely.
"Must find a way to escape from his or hers detection!"
As Fei thought about it, he quickly switched to Assassin Mode and disappeared from where he was. As if he dissolved into the air, he didn't leave behind any of traces.
"Huh? Interesting. You can get away from being targeted and locked on to by me?"
The space in the area rippled as if the wind blew on the surface of a lake. With a tone of surprise, this person said: "Haha... what an interesting character. King of Chambord, too bad I have already landed my own energy seal on you. Doesn't matter where you go, I can already find you. You are going to die today...Hahahaha! I found you!"
Fei's face changed color.
After switching to Assassin Mode, his sensitivity to danger increased even more. Now, he was surprised to find that he couldn't get away from this terrifying enemy with all the skills of a level 36 Assassin. Instead, this person was catching up with him!
"Die!"
A quiet shout sounded by Fei's ear.
Instantly, an energy that was several times more powerful than Fei's fell from the sky and landed on Fei. It locked Fei down so hard that Fei felt like he was being hit by a mountain. At that moment, he almost kneeled onto the ground since his legs almost gave out.
"This isn't the power of a star level warrior, who are you?" Fei shouted angrily.
Since he was still being spotted, Fei dropped the Assassin Mode and went back to Barbarian Mode since it was the highest leveled character he had. All the muscles in his body bulged up as he shouted and stood straight.
"A dead man doesn't need to know!"
The cold and sharp voice sounded again, and it was accompanied by a sharp energy. Like a godly weapon, this energy formed into the shape of a sword and stabbed down at Fei's skull.
Fei was still under this lock and wasn't even able to move his fingers.
He used all he had and looked up, and his pupil contracted as his mind went blank.

For the first time after he arrived on Azeroth Continent, Fei felt like he was standing next to death.
A real death.
It came unexpectedly and quietly after he shocked 250 affiliated kingdoms; it should be the proudest moment of his life, but ...
...
A thin figure who was wondering in the camp area with a clean cloak suddenly sensed something. A pair of bright eyes looked at the direction and murmured: "Who? Who is that? That direction... could it be?" He sounded shocked.
"Crap!"
Whoosh!
This figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and the pedestrian around him didn't even sense the disappeared on a person beside them.
...
...
"Emma, come and take a look! Does this dress look pretty?"
In the central tent, the beautiful girl was wearing a tight-fit black long dress with lace edges. She spun and showed off her beauty. The cold tone of the black contrasted with the white jade-like skin of the girl, and she looked unparalleled as if she was a goddess who came down from the heaven.
"Angele, his majesty would like it doesn't matter what you wear!" Emma said as she put a hairpin decorated with a sapphire in Angela's hair.
Suddenly –
"Ouch... why does my heart hurt so much?" Angela, who was smiling, suddenly cried out loud as a painful expression appeared on her face: "What is happening? Could Alexander be..."
The girl suddenly stopped moving as she looked at a direction with her eyes filled with worries
...
...
Fei was in a death trap.
Chapter 242: Miraculous Skill – [Summon], Duriel (Part Two)
He couldn't move, let alone dodging or counterattacking.
On top of his head, the energy sword struck down without mercy.
"Hahahahaha!!!! If you want to kill me, ask permission from a Lord from Hell first!" Fei shouted in his mind as he made a decision.
Buzz-!
A light yet strange noise sounded.
The feeling of being targeted and restricted loosened and the feeling of freedom finally returned to Fei.
Dodge!
This was the first reaction of Fei after getting back the control.
At the same time, a huge blue sphere appeared, and it seemed like something was trying to crawl out of it.
"Roar! Stupid humans, are you looking for me?"
A pair of demon arms first appeared out of the sphere. With a power that was not from this word, it grabbed onto that terrifying energy sword.
Bam!
One of the demon arms exploded into pieces, and blood with a pungent smell and corrosive ability fell from the sky.
"Roar! You damn human! How dare you injure the great Duriel? You are dead!"
From the blue sphere, a monster shouted as it crawled out of it. Its body was like a small mountain; it was at least a 100 meters tall, and its skin was red and tough. It looked like a huge bug from afar with its two front claws sharp and strong. Its lower body was fat and ugly with four pairs of short but strong legs that grasped the ground firmly. Its head alone was half of its body size, and strips of bone spikes on its body looked terrifying alone without considering the dense teeth in its huge mouth.
This monster roared as it charged out of the sphere.
This was a historical moment.
One of the four Lords from Hell, Duriel, the Lord of Pain who was the final boss of the second map in Diablo World came on Azeroth Continent through the portal!
Fei used the [Summon] Skill to summon this Demon Lord.
"What is this?"
The mysterious man who showed himself in the sky finally was a bit surprised after being all serious. To people on Azeroth Continent, Duriel was an unexplainable entity.
"You damn human, how dare you injure the great Duriel?"
The fat "bug" shouted angrily. The hard shell on its right claw was shattered, and it was still bleeding. Duriel sensed that the person in the air was the person who injured it, so it immediately opened its mouth and attacked.
A devastating chilling energy was spurted out
It was one of the trump cards of Duriel – [Divine Freeze].
"Dirty bug, you are looking for death!"
The man in the air seemed to be injured by this. He shouted in fury as another energy sword chopped down from the sky. It cut off the left claw of Duriel, and more blood spilled onto the ground like snow.
Duriel was in serious pain; it rolled around and spurted out more chilling energy.
"Damn! This Duriel is still not this mysterious person's match!"
After seeing this, Fei knew Duriel couldn't stop this enemy for long. This boss was defeated by his level 40 Barbarian Character, so it was reasonable that it was no match for this enemy.
"Shit, you are asking me to use my most powerful technique!"
Fei cursed in his mind as he used [Summon] again. In the moment that the mysterious assassin was distracted by Duriel, Fei stepped into the blue portal and disappeared...
Escape!
At the moment when the portal disappeared, this mysterious assassin killed Duriel. This one of the four Demon Lord who was so impressive in Diablo World was killed like a pig after a brief moment.
"Huh? King of Chambord disappeared? How can you escape after being sealed by me?"
The man sneered as he stood in the sky and searched for the seal that he placed on Fei. However, his face changed color: "What is going on? Disappeared? I can't sense it... how? How can a little six-star warrior escape from my search?"
The assassin couldn't wrap his head around it.
As he tried to do a deeper search, another powerful energy surge appeared as someone dashed towards this area from afar. The sensation of this energy was so powerful that even this mysterious assassin felt like he was no match for it.
"Oh? This sensation ... it should be that one on the mountain. Damn, how can he come this quick?"
The man's expression changed again. Without finishing the deep search, he quickly dashed towards the Moro Mountains...
That powerful figure behind the man didn't give up; he also went into the Moro Mountains.
Chapter 243: Unparalleled Talent (Part One)
Inside Diablo World.
Fei stood on the plain outside of Rouge Encampment as he heard the cold and mysterious voice tell him that his Barbarian Character had dropped from level 40 to level 39. After thinking back to what happened, he sweated even more.
If he didn't summon Duriel in time to become a sandbag, he would be killed.
Although it didn't cost anything to summon the NPCs from Diablo World into the real world, there were a lot of restrictions on summoning monsters.
These restrictions actually included two criteria.
One, the monsters that Fei can summon were the ones that died under Fei's blades. If Fei didn't defeat the monster or demon, he couldn't summon it.
Two, Fei had to pay a number of experience points; the higher the level of the monster, the more experience points were charged.
Normally, this cost wasn't unbearable. Summoning a [Fallen Sharman] or anything in that manner only cost about a few hundred points. However, the summoning of Duriel, one of the four Demon Lords, cost Fei 50,000 experience points.
Although it wasn't much to a level 40 Barbarian since the amount of experience points needed to level up was in the millions, Fei just leveled up, which meant he had less than 50,000 points as a level 40 Barbarian. Therefore, he dropped in level.
"Have to re-train again."
After thinking about the fact that the mysterious assassin could be looking for him, it would be dangerous for him to return to the real world. Therefore, after relaxing a little bit, he didn't hurry back to Azeroth Continent.
Instead, he found Elena and send her to the real world via the skill [Summon] to tell his people that he was safe. Fei, on the other hand, went to [Tal Rasha's Tomb], the location of the last quest in the second map [Lut Gholein], and tried to get his 50,000 experience points back.
Therefore, [Tal Rasha's Tomb] which was covered with blood the day before was covered in blood again.
"Who..."
"AHAHA..."
"Puff..."
The screams of various monsters and demons filled the space.

Nueey
Fully equipped with top-tier items, Fei swung his blades as the blood of the monsters covered his body. A thick blood mist formed a tornado on top of him, and anyone could sense the murderous spirit from afar.
"Sky Frost Fist ... uh, what should I name this strike?"
As Fei swung the two blades, a sword energy dashed out and hit a [Sand Maggot] two meters away. Although this strike didn't seem to do a lot of damage to this heavy armored monster, it instantly fell into a deep state of unconsciousness.
This was exactly the strike that knocked the Fifth Executive Knight out of consciousness so Fei was able to throw him at the [Black Flame Snakes' Kisses] of the Second Executive Knight. Normally, it was easy to defeat or kill a warrior on the same level, but it was at least four times harder to control the other warrior.
The reason why Fei was able to do it today was that of the effect of skill [Stun].
[Stun] allowed Fei to stunned an opponent for a short period, and that opponent couldn't react to external conditions.
During today's fight, Fei didn't completely merge the effect of the stun into his Sky Frost Fist. He had level 2 Stun which could stun the target for a second, but the Fifth Executive Knight was only stunned for less than that.
Chapter 244: Purple Colored Skill Scroll (Part One)
Five minutes after in Diablo World.
"Huh? That's right. There is a strange seal-like mark on your body... This power is very strong, and it is deeply sealed into your conscious. However, it is also very small and couldn't be detected easily."
Inside Rogue Encampment, Priestess Akara who mastered all magic spells related to spiritual and healing carefully scanned Fei's body and gave her opinion.
"Damn, I knew there is something wrong!"
Fei instantly knew where the problem was.
Somehow, that mysterious man left a mark on his body without him knowing, and that was why Fei couldn't get away from the man even after he switched to Assassin Mode. It was because of the seal and not because that man was too strong.
It was terrifying. "A powerful warrior who can leave a mark on me without any trace... how strong is he?" Fei was scared after thinking about it.
Fei suddenly realized that he was still too weak despite the recent increase in strength.
Although he defeated several Executive Knights of Zenit, shook all the noble families and affiliated kingdoms, and got a lot of fame, those Executive Knights were only Six-Star Warrior. Compared with the Moon-Class Elites and Sun-Class Lords who were able to move mountains and change terrains, they were too weak!
Also, Zenit Empire that Chambord had no chance of taking on was only a small level 1 Empire on the Continent. Even level 9 Empires on the continents can't say that they were invincible. On the continent that was said that even the gods could fully travel, what kind of powerful existence could there be?
In comparison, he shouldn't be proud just because he shocked people at Zenit.
After thinking about that, Fei's blood boiled as he felt an unprecedented motivation.
"I have to increase my strength!"
A short-term goal – Advance to a Moon-Class Elite.
"Priestess, is there a way to get rid of this mark?"
After setting the goal for himself quietly, he focused back on the issue at hand. If he couldn't get rid of the seal, it would be like a time-bomb on his body, and the controller was in the hand of the mysterious man. If that man wanted, he could be killed at any second.
"Eh, I can, but it will take a while." Akara lowered her head, thought for a while, and gave an answer slowly.
Men, Try This Tonight - You'll Never Need the Blue Pill Again!
Patriot Health Zone
"A while? How long exactly?" Fei asked again.
"Depends on your luck and attitude."
A serious expression appeared on her face. Akara walked back into her small and ragged tent that was actually fancy and huge inside and returned with a book that was about five centimeters thick.
"This is a skill scroll that has no name." She said as she passed it to Fei: "According to tradition, only the Supreme Leader of the camp can read it. You qualify for it. In legends, this book can increase the size of one's consciousness and broaden it like a sea. However, it takes talent and luck to get the power in the scroll!"
Fei caressed the purple scroll in his hands.
It was a book that was decorated with vine shaped purple metals frames. The paper used was soft yet sturdy; Fei didn't know what it was made of. However, it was really heavy; Fei felt like he was holding a piece of metal.
"Huh? Godly Scroll, empowerment and improvement of spiritual power?"
Fei saw the first sentence on the first page of the book. He thought of the possibility this book presented and got excited.
It was a really interesting book.
The characters were written with the blood of some creature that was really powerful. Despite the age of the book, the characters were still in bright red as if they were still in the liquid form. The characters also contained a powerful energy surge; Fei's fingers hurt as he touched these characters with his hands.
The book was written in an ancient language that was used in Diablo World. Thankfully that Fei study with Akara for the last while and learn about it; otherwise, he would be a real loser for not being able to read it.
Chapter 244: Purple Colored Skill Scroll (Part Two)
Fei was instantly attracted by the content of the book.
Soon, an hour flew by, and it was approaching the limit of the gaming time for the day. Fei thought about it and didn't use up all the time; he left 20 minutes for emergencies. If he encountered that mysterious man again today, he could try to enter Diablo World to escape momentarily.
After all, the seal on his body wasn't eliminated.
According to Akara, Fei's spiritual power had an arbitrary level of 150. Only after Fei's spiritual power level goes above 300, she and Cain would be able to get rid of the mark from Fei's body by using the ancestor altar.
However, the book carried a mysterious power. If Fei brought it with him, it would be able to block off anything traces of the mark so he couldn't be traced by the mysterious man.
Before leaving Diablo World, Fei switched to Druid Mode and summoned a raven. He sent the raven through the portal and made sure that the man had left, then he stepped back to the real world.
...
Four hours had passed, and it was already the evening.
Fei carefully sensed his surroundings and found that the man had left long ago. Without wasting more time, he walked back towards the campsite of Chambord.
When he was about 500 meters away from the campsite, he walked in a few big circles. After figuring out that there weren't any traps, he walked in.
When he was at the gate, he suddenly laughed. If that man could sense the mark on his body, the man could trace him anywhere; there was no point in setting up traps. It seemed like he was really scared by the assassination, and he was over-reacting.
It wasn't his fault.
Fei was really risk-averse. Although his recent behaviors looked arrogant and risky, they were all under careful calculations. After deciding on the strategy, he intentionally created the character of being like a mad-dog and confused a lot of people; it was actually a really clever protective tactic. However, since he didn't know the reason for this assassination and where the man came from, he was more worried.
"Angela?"
Fei suddenly saw his fiancée by the side of the tent.
Angela was waiting by the stone pillar with a face full of anxiety and worry. Although she was wearing a furry coat, she was still shivering as the cold wind fluttered her long black hair.
She was obviously waiting for him.
Fei was heart-broken by the scene. He dashed forward and hugged the girl in front of him.
"Ah….. Alexander, you are back? Everyone in the area is talking about you..." Angela was surprised. But after she sensed the familiar warm body scent, she knew who it was. She hugged onto Fei as her racing heart finally returned to normal.
At the same time, both Fei and Angela didn't notice a beautiful mercenary standing by the river and looking at the Moro Mountains from afar. Her valiant figure seemed to be merged with the scenery, and it felt a little lonely.
In Chambord's campsite, the atmosphere was really cheerful.
All the soldiers were preparing the final details of the celebration.
Outside of the camp, many envious and respectful stares focused at Chambord. However, no one dared to walk within 100 meters of Chambord. After defeating the Executive Knights and shaming the two young genius, Fei was feared by many.
Inside the central tent, old Zola and young Modric walked in as Fei didn't even have the chance to drink some water. They brought a shocking news.
"What??? Most of the important members of the superpowers who came and watched the duel today were killed? Got assassinated? What happened?" Fei was shocked to a great degree as he read the intelligence report.
"After the six Executive Knights, Matt Razi, and your majesty left the stage, a ton of assassins came from nowhere. They were all powerful, and they came so unexpectedly that the casualties were high. The old leader of Beag Family was instantly killed, and the genius mage of Dean Family, Dean Kazola, died on the way back to St. Petersburg after being severally injured. All other important figures were assassinated! Except for Beyonce who survived, almost everyone else died!"
Zola carefully described what happened to Fei after the duel.
After hearing everything, Fei thought: "Looks like I wasn't the only one. It was more just one incident... there is more to it..."
Chapter 245: The arrival of the Era of Chaos (Part One)
Fei didn't expect such a huge incident would happen after he went into Diablo World to escape the assassination.
No wonder he felt like the atmosphere was a little weird after he returned to the real world. Almost everyone at the camp area was a little self-defensive. At first, Fei thought that the crazy-image he created made other people feel threatened, but now he knew the real reason.
Who planned such a horrifying operation?
Fei rubbed his temples as he had a headache just trying to comprehend the situation. How can there be a force in Zenit who dared to assassinate so many influential figures? They would become the common enemy of many.
Or... "Could it be some people outside of Zenit?" Fei thought.
He felt like he caught on something, but he still can't figure it out.
"How did St. Petersburg react after this?" Fei raised his head and asked.
"The three battle legions protecting the camp area started to move, and it felt like they are trying to surround the area and capture all the assassins. The most elite force – [Iron Blood Legion] had marched out of St. Petersburg and camped one kilometer away from where the affiliated kingdoms are at. Empire Yassin who is really ill at the moment was raged. Everyone thought that the empire would send this legion to the border in case the Spartax Empire invades, but the elder prince, Zenit's God of War – Arshavin, and the second prince Dominguez were both ordered to investigate into what happened, and both of them were ordered to move independently..."
Old Zola gradually got into the zone as he explained concisely, and young Modric would jump in here and there to add more details. Slowly, the two of them got more and more compatible.
"Independently? Not restricted from each other?" Fei suddenly voiced. He smiled as he tapped the handle on his stone chair: "It sounds like the two princes are competing."
"That's right, your majesty. That's what a lot of people are saying. It seems like the empire is trying to use this to see who shall inherit the throne. After all, they are the two most prominent candidates." Old Zola analyzed: "It was heard that after the empire sent the order, almost all forces at St. Petersburg started to take their sides. After this assassination incident, the battle for the throne that occurred for more than a year now will finally be settled. All the nobles were getting anxious, and even the affiliated kingdoms started to make moves."
This was old man Zola's hidden reminder for Fei that Chambord was facing the same choices.
Of course, Fei got what Zola meant, however –
"We don't have to hurry on this topic. The battle for the throne isn't that simple. Also, the spot the affiliated kingdoms are in is different from the noble families. To us, we can wait quietly for the winner to appear. Even if some kingdoms what to take the bet, the ones who jumped too early are just gambling addicts." Fei who had the secret cheat code wasn't huge on getting more influence in the empire, and he was able to remain cool in a heated situation like this.
Both Zola and Modric were interested and talented in collecting of information, and they weren't good at managing kingdoms. After seeing the king made up his mind, they didn't say anything else.
"Right now, the atmosphere is really tense. The [Iron Blood Legion] of the elder prince and the people of second prince both made arrests here, and more than 1000 people were arrested today. Both of them established a curfew; no one is allowed to walk outside of their own campsite after evening... a few groups of soldiers came by to do searches. But after knowing that your majesty was here, they were all very polite. After some easy search, they all left."
As Zola said that, both he and Modric looked at the man in front of them with admiration and proudness.

For a long time, Chambord was the one who was bullied and harmed. All the adjacent kingdoms were able to step on them easily. The status of people from Chambord was only a bit higher than slaves who lost their freedom, and killing a Chambordian wasn't a crime in the empire; it was treated as if someone killed a stranded dog.
Chapter 245: The arrival of the Era of Chaos (Part Two)
But now, it was all different!
After Fei defeated four Executive Knights in front of tens of thousands of people, Chambord's status changed drastically. Now, everyone greeted members of Chambord, and even the people from level 1 affiliated kingdoms had to give them respect. Even the soldiers of the empire that caused a lot of trouble and mess for almost all affiliated kingdoms had to be polite after knowing that this was Chambord's camp.
After thinking about that, the Zola and Modric's blood boiled in proudness. Right now, everyone at Chambord was feeling the same way.
Even the lowest grooms at Chambord could straighten their backs in front of the vicious soldiers.
This king was enough for them to go crazy.
This king was enough for them to die for.
"Oh, so the atmosphere here is like a zone of fear? A lot of people would get screwed over in this..." Fei signed. That couldn't be prevented. It was only the beginning. In the next period, more crazy stuff was going to occur, and many more would be famed for political reason, and many people's fates were about to change...
Fei had a feeling that the chaos was revealing itself, and a murderous bloody era had arrived.
In this era, the fates would be only controlled by the real powerful people.
The weak ones could only cry as life abandons them.
"What is up with the Byzantine Kingdom?" Fei suddenly thought about the young king who was similar to him.
"We followed your command sent by Ms. Elena a few hours ago. Mr. Cech had sent multiple soldiers to carefully monitor the campsite of Byzantine. The assassins didn't effect Byzantine at all, and imperial soldiers were friendly towards them as well. In the last while, some ministers of affiliated kingdoms and members of noble families had visited the king... everything seems normal."
"Only these?"
"Three hours ago, the King of Byzantine and his finance came to visit you, your majesty. Because you weren't here, Angela her highness handled them!" Zola suddenly remembered to tell Fei this.
Fei nodded.
"This young king of Byzantine is really good. He is smart, and his performance is not back." Fei thought. He didn't waste time helping the young man to get more exposure.
After finished reporting, Zola and Modric left the central tent in proudness as Fei looked at them with appreciation.
During their time at the mine pits in the Blackstone Kingdom, they used every opportunity to get information as they tried to help other people from Chambord survive in such terrible situations. Maybe they got it from being always in danger, this old man and the young man were really sensitive to information and had great analysis. They were drawn towards the job of figuring out the truth behind a large quantity of information, and they were trusted by Fe with handling the intelligence agency of Chambord. Only in half a month, they were able to demonstrate their surprising skills and abilities. Under their efforts, the intelligence agency of Chambord had its rough shape.
Soon, people like Cech, Torres, and Oleg all came into the central tent.
"Your majesty!" They single-kneeled.
"Get up." Fei glanced at all of them as he nodded in satisfaction.
The strength of Chambord was growing every day. As leaders, these people's progress was satisfactory; even the laziest of the bunch, Oleg, was approaching a high-tier three-star warrior. All the fat on his body condensed, and he looked a lot tougher.
"Is Uncle Lampard still not here?" Fei asked.
According to Elena's information that she got from Chambord City, Lampard and the people he was leading should have arrived yesterday. But for some reason, they still weren't here after a full day.
"It may be due to the snow on the way here; they might have to travel slower. Mr. Lampard is really strong; no one in the affiliated kingdoms on the way here can match him. Also, with Pierce, Drogba, 50 City Bylaw Officers and 25 Saint Saiyas, they could sweep the affiliated kingdoms on the way. No need to worry." Cech analyzed.
"You are right." Fei nodded.
At this moment –
The entryway to the tent opened as a guard rushed in.
Chapter 246: Aren't You The Boss? (Part One)
"Your majesty, Mr. Lampard, Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Drogba are coming into the camp area with the troops. Mr. Lampard ordered me to come first and inform you with his message pigeon." The guard said as he single-kneeled on the ground.
"Haha, great!" Fei laughed as he got up from his chair. "Let's go and welcome them. After our troops are gathered, I will let those people who laughed at us to learn the lesson!"
Everyone in the tent got excited as they followed Fei out of the tent.
...
...
After a long way, Lampard, Pierce, and Drogba who led 50 Bylaw Enforcement Officers and 25 Saint Seiyas finally arrived at St. Petersburg.
The reason why they were two days late was that it snowed heavily when they got to Moro Mountains. The 50-centimeter snowfall blocked the thin and slippery path and made it more difficult to travel across. Even though the soldiers of Chambord weren't weak, they had to stop and wait for the snow to melt down a little before moving. Finally, they were able to take more risk and get past the mountains.
Just like Fei and the people of Chambord who came here before, Lampard and the soldiers he was leading were stunned by what they saw.
The huge city, the soaring magic towers, the eleven towers at Imperial Knight Palace, the mountain like defense wall of St. Petersburg... All of these structures only existed in the mind of hillbilly-like Chambordian; they didn't know that these could be real. Lampard had a history that was unknown to many, so he acted normally. But Pierce, Drogba, and the 75 soldiers opened their eyes and mouths wide as they all lost speech.
"Only King Alexander fits to control this great city!" Drogba opened his mouth and said something that was shocking and offensive.
Pierce's face changed color as he quickly put his hand over Drogba's mouth.
Lampard's expression also changed. He turned around and said to Drogba: "You better control your mouth more. If what you said was heard by other, do you know much trouble you would have caused for His Majesty?"
The tough man scratched his head and nodded quickly.
Although Drogba was usually careless, Lampard was a brother-like figure to the former king and was still the Number Two Warrior right after Fei. Everyone at Chambord was respectful towards Lampard despite him not having any formal titles.
The side of the mountain that was facing St. Petersburg was much flatter. Quickly, they got to the edge of the camp area.
"Stop! Who are you? Get off of your horses!!" The outer edge of the camp area was tightly guarded. As soon as the imperial soldiers saw the group, they warned.
There were less than four days until the beginning of the competition. Any kingdom that missed the competition without prior permission would be charged with treason. Therefore, all 250 affiliated kingdoms were all settled in the camp area already. Since a lot of influential figures were assassinated today, Lampard and others who just arrived looked very suspicious. Before their identity was verified, the imperial soldiers didn't dare to slack off. The imperial soldiers surrounded the group as if they were being sieged by enemies.

Lampard was surprised to see this. He made a hand-gesture and signaled everyone he was leading to get off of their mounts.
"They must be related to the assassins! Arrest them all..." Suddenly, a captain-looking man shouted as he saw the mysterious yet power armors and the level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts. He got greedy and wanted to keep those for himself.
Events like this had occurred many times today. Arresting assassins was the excuses these military officials used to collect money for themselves.
The corruption at the empire was so severe that stuff like this seemed normal to everyone.
"Wait, there must be some misunderstanding. We are not assassins; we are the troop of an affiliated kingdom who was here already." Lampard quickly explained.
However, the captain didn't listen to this at all. He just hurried the soldiers and shouted: "Don't let any one of them escape! Arrest them all! Get all their equipment and mounts. Kill anyone who dares to resist!"
Chapter 246: Aren't You The Boss? (Part Two)
After hearing this, the imperial soldiers knew what the captain wanted. They laughed viciously as they drew their weapon and closed in.
Lampard frowned.
He already understood the situation as he looked at the captain's eye and sensed the atmosphere. He was trying to come up with a way to get out of this situation.
"How dare you?" Both Pierce and Drogba were raged. Pierce shouted angrily: "We are from an affiliated kingdom and are here to participate in the competition! Who are you? How dare you try to arrest us like criminals?"
The captain only sneered and didn't say anything back. He only hurried the soldiers.
"I don't think you can!" Drogba also shouted.
He grabbed the huge axe from the carrier on his mount and stepped forward. A dangerous sensation came off of him and made the approaching soldiers freeze for a second. They looked back at the captain in hesitation. This man looked too vicious! Just the door-like huge axe was at least five to six hundred pounds, and it was being carried in this man's hands like a straw!
"You guys dare to resist?" The captain sneered and said: "At this moment, the camp area is surrounded by the three battle legions, and there are more than a hundred thousand soldiers! How dare you raise your weapon against the soldiers of the empire? I can wait for you guys to attack first! Huh! When the warrant comes, even your king would be punished by Fire Execution!"
Lampard frowned even more upon hearing this. He turned to the troops and shook his head.
They weren't scared of the battle legions, but they didn't want to cause any trouble for Fei. To them, the reason why their king pushed Chambord forward and ramped up the strength was to soar in this competition and gain the most benefit for Chambord. Therefore, they didn't want their recklessness to ruin their king's plan.
"Put down the weapon and let them tie us up." Lampard decided.
Both Pierce and Drogba made a "humph" sound as they put back their weapons; they were really mad. The Bylaw Enforcement Officers and Saint Saiyas also dropped their weapons. After seeing this, the imperial soldiers rush up and tied everyone up like a bunch of wolves. Anyone who dared to resist a little got beat. However, everyone from Chambord held back; they were telling themselves that they were willing to die for their king, let alone this level of shame.
The captain sneered and walked up. He patted Drogba's face and laughed: "Dumbass, weren't you very loud? Now? Haha, you will get a taste of regret... Take off their armors!"
The imperial soldiers rushed up and quickly tried to strip the soldiers of Chambord; those armors really attracted a lot of attention.
"Stop! Bandits! These are the armors that our King of Chambord, King Alexander, rewarded to us! Don't think of taking it off of me when I'm alive!"
Drogba and his peers couldn't resist the anger anymore. Since they got the armors, they didn't take the armors off this entire trip. They loved the armors so much that they would clean and oil them up regularly to maintain them. They all wanted to win honor and glory for their king during the competition, and they would never let these dirty imperial soldiers rob the armors away from them.
"Hahah, then I will kill you... Rewarded by some unknown king of Chambord? Yuck!" The captain laughed out loud. However, he quickly saw the imperial soldiers around him looking at him with terrified expressions. A lightning instantly flashed through his mind and he thought of something. With a lot of stutters, he asked: "What? Who said that? What King? Chambord? King of Chambord?"
He was dumbfounded.
A chill went up his spines and shocked his brain, and he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.
