Chapter 942: Royal Treasure (Part One)
Dark Demonic Armor was still slowly recovering.
Fei’s last hammer strike was indeed majestic and powerful; he almost turned Dark Demonic Armor into wasted trash. Even though the runes on the inside of the armor were profound and magical, it was hard for them to completely restore the armor in a flash. After Fei observed it for a while, he made some calculations and guessed that this demonic armor would need about one full day to return to its former glory.
Fei revisited the runes on the inside of the armor again, and he still felt like they were profound and hard to understand. With his skills as a rookie runemaster, he could only vaguely tell that these runes were ancient. If he wanted to figure out the magic principles behind them… eh, it seemed like Akara and Cain were going to have something to do in the next while.
After putting Dark Demonic Armor to the side, Fei took out the Death God Sickle that he had sealed from his storage ring.
This sickle was about six meters long, and its handle was as thick as the opening of a bowl. The blade of the sickle was three meters long, and it was tiling and curling inward. It was hard to tell exactly what material it was made of, but it was black and looked like it was made from black jade. The handle and the back of the blade were full of thin and dense engraved runes. Although they seemed like useless decorations, each rune emitted faint light. The blade of the sickle looked red, and liquid dripped off the tip of the blade, looking like blood.
Fei sealed the energy contained inside the Death God Sickle, so this weapon looked low-profile with its explosive energy concealed.
With the Death God Sickle in hand, Fei casually waved it at the stone pillar in front of him; nothing felt strange or unnatural.
Bam! Bam!
Several stone pillars that had a horizontal cross-sectional diameter of four meters instantly broke in half, and the cut was so clean and sharp that the cross-sections looked like mirrors.
“So sharp! It can easily cut through gold and shatter jade; its sharpness is not inferior compared to a level 8 combat weapon. It felt like cutting tofu when the sickle went through several stone pillars; I didn’t even detect any resistance or blockage. Haha! I wonder what material this is made from. I couldn’t even tell with my experience and knowledge.” Fei praised this weapon repeatedly.
Then, he tried to open the seal that he put on it.
In the next moment, he sensed that a streak of chilly, ice-like energy was invading his body from the handle of the sickle. Like a greedy vampire, the Death God Sickle continued to devour Fei’s energy like crazy. Right now, the strength of Fei’s Barbarian character could barely stay even with this chilly energy; he couldn’t completely suppress the energy inside the Death God Sickle.
“Damn it!” Fei was surprised.
He instantly switched to his Paladin character, and the demi-god-level holy power appeared and immediately countered that streak of chilly and cold energy. Then, Fei started to exert his force. Streaks of golden holy power flowed into the Death God Sickle through Fei’s palms, and it started to shake violently as if it ran into something terrifying. Right now, it seemed like it wanted to jump out of Fei’s hands and escape his control.
However, Fei’s Paladin character was now a demi-god, and his holy power was the natural counter to death energy. The Death God Sickle only struggled for a few seconds before it quieted down.
The golden holy power slowly flowed through the body of the sickle. This black material had great conductivity. In a visible speed, the black sickle started to change as the golden holy power washed through it. Gradually, the black-jade-like color changed to silver.
Although that cold energy tried its best to defend, it couldn’t do much. Like a snowflake on a hot summer day, it quickly melted and disappeared.
“Ah, no… Human! I have memorized your power!”
Chapter 942: Royal Treasure (Part Two)
Suddenly, a series of shrill screams sounded from the Death God Sickle; it sounded tragic like the shattering of a soul, yet it continued terrifying pressure, shocking Fei and suffocating him a little. Then, a streak of faint black mist shot out of the blade of the sickle and let out a series of hissing screams of pain. Before Fei could react, it dashed into space like fish to water, completely disappearing in that split second.
The king wanted to stop it, but he wasn’t able to do it in time.
“This sickle contained a trace of dark godly power; it is the real kind of godly power, and it should be above the Demi-God Realm. It seems like the split soul of a terrifying existence. This must be the reason to Dark Demonic Armor Basturk’s increase in strength; it must have borrowed the strength from this mysterious soul… Unfortunately, this soul escaped in time!”
In the blink of an eye, the entire Death God Sickle turned from black to an eye-catching silver. Since Fei’s holy power washed it, traces of holy power were vaguely circulating on the surface.
When Fei injected holy power into this sickle, a golden blade energy that was more than 100 meters long appeared, putting a deep, bottomless crack into the ground.
“Damn! So powerful! It increased my strength by at least 40 times! This quality is on par with semi-god-tier combat weapons!”
Fei froze for a second before praising this weapon again; he couldn’t help himself. It seemed like he had gotten a great treasure.
“Damn, Hazel Bank, this strange uncle, is going to get a great item this time. This sickle fits him perfectly. Haha, if he can use the proper way to nurture and take care of this weapon, it might advance in level and become a real god-tier combat weapon in the future!”
…
-Four hours later-
“There must be treasures. There must be treasures! Where are they? Come out! Quickly!”
Fei’s eyes shined as he moved in the secret tunnels inside the Royal Palace of Anji.
His spirit energy was projected out like waves of the ocean, scanning through soils and trying to find the treasure storage of the Royal Family of Anji.
Undead creatures weren’t interested in these things, but Fei was different.
If the Chambord Kingdom could get its hands on these legendary treasures, it would obtain a lot of resources. Especially the vast amount of magic crystals; the many magic crystals would allow the kingdom to upgrade all the items and equipment on the ordinary soldiers of Chambord.
Right now, it was midnight.
The howls and roars of the undead creatures around the Royal Palace of Anji sounded like a tsunami. When they were mixed with the loud whistling noises created by the wind, they made the Capital of Anji, a dead city, seem even more terrifying.
After purifying the Death God Sickle, Fei imprisoned Dark Demonic Armor Basturk inside a light magic array, and he started to search around. Although the king didn’t come here just for the treasures of the Royal Family of Anji, his was a little greedy and wouldn’t even let geese fly past him without plucking a few feathers. Therefore, this was an excellent opportunity for the king since he could claim the treasures freely if he found it; he would be committing a crime to himself if he didn’t do this.
From the sunset until now, Fei had found three treasure warehouses of the Royal Family of Anji, and there were many gold coins, armor, weaponry, and warrior energy training scrolls. However, Fei’s instinct told him that this wasn’t all the treasures of the Royal Family of Anji. Since this empire robbed all the adjacent empires like bandits, they must have more valuable treasures on top of these little accumulations.
“Huh? This… Hahaha! Found it!”
Fei’s spirit energy that was spreading out and radiating outside suddenly fed an image to Fei’s mind, and he became elated.
