Chapter 549: Like A Moth To A Flame
Domenech sensed the change on the King of Chambord, and it was what he wanted to see.
He started to chant a mystic and obscure spell, and the fire elements nearby were all pulled toward him.
Ten solid magic arrows that were each a meter long and a thumb thick formed in front of Domenech. Then, the ten arrows slowly came together and merged. In the end, there was one colossal arrow that looked more like a giant spear. Although it was made from magic energy, it had a metal glare to it and looked real.
Domenech lightly pushed his palms forward gracefully.
Whoosh!
The contrast between the gentle movement of Domenech and the fierce strike was shocking, and the huge fire-elemental magic arrow dashed toward Fei while leaving behind a series of afterimages.
This strike almost ignited the air in its pathway.
The strong wind fluttered Fei’s long black hair, and his clothes were making loud flapping noises. It felt like a huge mountain was falling on him.
However, with the two swords crossed in front of his chest, he didn’t back down.
If he merely moved half a step to either left or right, he would have dodged this terrifying arrow.
However, if he did that, then it would accurately hit Hazel Bank who was in the process of returning to the realm of Sun-Class and couldn’t move.
Tink!
Fei knocked the two swords onto each other, and a crisp metal-colliding sound resonated in the area.
Then, Fei shouted, and layers of colorful lights appeared around him.
In the next moment, the level 8 elite item [Fei’s Murderous Helmet] and the level 7 set item [Immortal King’s Soul Cage – Sacred Armor] appeared on him. In the unique and powerful armor and helmet, the image of a barbarian warrior totem that was more than 100 meters tall appeared behind Fei who was standing on [The Throne of Chaos].
At this moment, the king’s cape fluttered in the wind, and his aura reached the peak. It made Domenech feel like this young king was invincible.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the two swords were placed together, a silver energy rushed out of the swords and formed a huge silver cross, and this silver cross blocked the red arrow.
After a moment of silence, destructive energy spilled around. It was supposed to spill in all directions, but Fei blocked the residual energy, that was supposed to dash past him, with his body.
Not a single bit of chaotic energy passed him and affected the Undead Mage who was trying to advance.
Fei was willing to block all the dangers for Hazel Bank with his body; he wasn’t going to let anything happened to the Undead Mage at this critical moment. Although Chambord would get a powerful Sun-Class Lord if he could buy enough time for the Undead Mage, he was doing it because Hazel Bank was his ally and his friend.
The battle created strong winds.
On Fei’s shoulder, the furry and chubby Little Raccoon almost got blown away.
It grabbed onto Fei’s side hair with its paws, and it swung in the air a little ball. However, it didn’t let out a single squeak. This intelligent little guy bit its lips and didn’t want to disturb the king who was in battle. It was afraid that its squeaks would affect the king’s iron will.
Drip!
A drop of blood landed on [The Throne of Chaos].
Even though the Barbarian was tough, Fei got injured when he tried to fight against a Sun-Class Lord heads-on.
Although he had protection from the items from Diablo World, his hands were still injured. Blood flowed out of the wounds on his hands, and the drops of blood dripped down his gauntlets and swords.
“Alright. Although more than half of my Sun-Class Core was used, and my strength decreased significantly, the fact that you took that strike from me and didn’t get killed is enough for you to be proud of,” Domenech said as he observed Fei with a surprised expression on his face.
Even though he expected that his opponent might be able to handle his strike, he didn’t think that the King of Chambord could take care of his attack without paying a hefty price.
“Really? I’m always a proud person! Use all the skills and techniques you know! Let me see if you, a Sun-Class Lord, can get me to back off!” Fei said firmly.
His swords were sharp, his hair was long and smooth, and his temperament was graceful. His black eyes emitted a light, signaling others that he was at his absolute peak where his spirit, mind, body, and will were in harmony!
The barbarians were stronger when their opponents were tougher! Fei demonstrated this principle to the extreme.
Not sure when, but his barbarian warrior totem behind him got a little brighter as well.
“Ok. To be honest, I’m starting to admire you. You are even more capable than Yassin when he was in your age…… I want to know how many of my strikes can you take?”
Domenech got calmer as he sensed the battle-hungriness from Fei.
A dragon would get mad if a dog challenged it. However, if a creature on its level challenged it, it would only respect its opponent and give it all it had.
This was the reason for Domenech’s change.
Before, he saw Fei as a bug that was way below his league. But now, he saw Fei as a person who was close to his level and could threaten him.
“…… The power from the anger of the gods. Fire elements, the ones that could melt through everything, listen to my plead and let my hands feel your existence. Let our anger crush all the evil that is in front of us……”
As if a god was murmuring, Domenech’s chant resonated in the sky. Slowly but surely, pure fire elements in nature dashed toward him and circled him at an impressive speed.
Slowly, this no.1 royal mage of the Leon Empire was enveloped by a thick orange beam of light.
Fei chugged down a bottom of [Full Rejuvenation Potion]; he also gave Little Raccoon a bottle.
Although Fei and Little Raccoon looked causal, they were getting serious at this moment after seeing the power contained in the upcoming strike.
“Condemnation from the gods! Appear! [Sword of Fire Judgment]!!”
As Domenech stated calmly, a gigantic fire sword that was more than 1,000 meters long dashed out of the thick orange light beam. There were numerous light rings and flares on the body of this sword, and it stole the spotlight. The sky that was still bright a moment ago looked as dark as an abyss in contrast to this sword.
This sword was too powerful!
This was the result of pushing magic energy to the extreme. Magic spells were able to borrow energy from nature and deal a level of damage that was far beyond the level of the practitioner. In this regard, warriors seemed weaker.
In the next moment, this fire sword chopped down.
The orange flames shattered the sky and struck toward Fei with a destructive presence.
When the sword lightly tilted, Fei felt like an invisible energy pulled his body, and he felt like the air around him was as thick as glue. He had a hard time moving his body, and he felt like the sword would land on him accurately didn’t matter which direction he moved in.
The intense sense of danger stimulated Fei’s nerves, making him feel like many iron needles were poking him.
“Is this the real power of a Sun-Class Lord?”
Fei was at his peak, and he wasn’t willing to back off. Instead of backing off, he dashed forward by moving [The Throne of Chaos] using his mind.
He was planning to dodge the sword by attacking Domenech who was controlling it.
This seemed like the best option at the moment.
Domenech was inside the body of this fire sword, and fire could be seen rushing out of his eyes, ear, mouth, and nostrils. He was on another level.
He didn’t react to Fei’s movement. Instead, he used all his energy to control the sword and chop it down.
The closer Fei was to the body of the sword, the more pressure he felt.
When he was about 100 meters away from the fire sword, Fei felt the terrifying heat and Domenech’s murderous spirit through [Immortal King’s Soul Cage – Sacred Armor]. The tough skin of the Barbarian started to crack like a dried-up river bed.
Fei, a mid-tier Half Moon Elite, couldn’t deal with this amount of power!
Emperor Yassin was able to battle a Sun-Class Lord as a Moon-Class Elite; it was a miracle, and not everyone could do it.
Time seemed to have slowed down, and it looked like everything was in slow-motion.
With the two swords crossed in front of his chest again, Fei pushed [The Throne of Chaos] toward Domenech with a determined expression on his face.
This scene looked like a moth to a flame; it felt like Fei would end up being burned to ashes.
“Too bad, King of Chambord. Although you are a genius, you are inferior to Yassin. Therefore, you will get killed!” With flames around his body, Domenech didn’t look like a human. His voice was emotionless like a god, cold and clear. “Killing geniuses is something that is both exciting and helpless. Sword of Fire Judgment, strike!!!!!”
