Hail the King Chapter 699: Legendary Battle 3

Chapter 699: Legendary Battle (3)
However, a loud, thunderous noise sounded to Fei's surprise.
Tink!!!!!!!
Fei sensed a very powerful repulsive force from the war hammer, and he almost lost his grip on it! He felt like his hammer didn't land on a pair of fists but instead a vast iron mountain!
It was a loud metal-colliding noise, and bright sparks appeared at the center of the collision.
It was bizarre!
After all, even Sun-Cla.s.s Lords couldn't take a strike from the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher].
How was this happening?
Fei was stunned, and he took a more careful look.
In front of him, [One Sword] already completely lost his mind. His fists were smashed, and all the flesh on his fingers were evaporated. However, his bones weren't white like ordinary people. Instead, they were golden, and they were shiny under the moon. All the bones were perfect like art pieces.
It was clear that the golden bones were the key to blocking the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher].
Also, Fei noticed that the dark-red energy mist was coming out of the golden bones, enveloping [One Sword]'s body.
"Golden bones……"
A thought flashed through Fei's mind like lightning, and he instantly understood all this.
It must be these golden bones that helped [One Sword] improve so much in strength and realm!
Even though the golden bones were only lightly exposed after the flesh on [One Sword]'s fingers disappeared, Fei felt like he was very familiar to these golden bones! These golden bones instantly reminded Fei of that golden skeleton which was pinned onto the ground beside the Mythical Altar when Fei first entered that s.p.a.ce. That golden skeleton somehow disappeared after Fei pulled out that mysterious half-broken pillar which nailed it there.
"When I first laid my eyes on it, I felt like there was still life energy inside the skeleton, and it didn't die completely. After I pulled out that stone pillar to purify the [Worldstone] on the Mythical Altar, it somehow disappeared and escaped from the Sky Castle. What… Could it be that [One Sword] was possessed by that golden skeleton? Wait… That golden skeleton was much larger than [One Sword]'s body…"
Many questions flashed through Fei's mind.
While he was wondering about these questions, [One Sword] started snickering.
"Hehehe…" As if he were a beast that couldn't sense pain, [One Sword] licked his lips and dashed at Fei. He punched at Fei, and the golden finger bones curled up and struck at the king with the forbidden power.
Cracks in s.p.a.ce appeared, and the streaks of dark-red energy mist looked like dried blood. It seemed like it moved with the wind, and the intense hatred and destruction spirit energy contained in it were able to shatter people's souls.
Golden lights dashed out of Fei's eyes, and they looked like golden searchlights.
Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!
A series of shocking and terrifying metal-colliding noises sounded.
The flesh on [One Sword]'s arms were completely destroyed, and everything down from his shoulders was gone. The golden arm bones that were enveloped by the flesh were now exposed, and they looked shiny and demonic with more dark-red energy mist coming out of them.
This pair of arm bones were tough. They were able to directly collide with the [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] without being broken.
As Fei and [One Sword] battled, more noises and sparks appeared.
"The real [One Sword] probably already died by now. It seems like this golden skeleton has its own mind, and it is in control of [One Sword]'s body. What is its goal? Why? Why did it direct this Xuan'ge of the Ormond Empire to my Chambord City?" Fei thought.
After considering the overall situation, Fei no longer tried to hold back anything.
He waved his war hammer and unleashed the power of the h.e.l.l Mode Barbarian, knocking his opponent more than 100 meters away. Then, he reached out his left hand, and an ancient scroll appeared in his hand. He swung this scroll and forced it open, and a series of G.o.dly runes that were filled with life energy dashed out and enveloped Fei.
In the next moment, Fei's power skyrocketed and reached another level.
This powerful and ancient scroll was the reward from a quest in Diablo World. After Fei completed the same quest in Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode, he got two scrolls that were filled with G.o.dly life energy. They could permanently increase all of Fei's resistance by 10%, and he had saved them for unique situations and emergencies.
Finally, Fei felt like today was the day that he had to use one of them, and his overall combat ability increased drastically.
When Fei and [One Sword] went back to battle, Fei was able to suppress his enemy completely.
The [Immortal King's Stone Crusher] was being swung around so fast that it was like a flash of lightning, and the power in it could shatter a mountain. Every time Fei swung it, the red runes that were engraved on its surface left a series of afterimages in the air, powerful enough to harm souls as well.
As the battle prolonged, [One Sword]'s golden bone fists had small cracks on them after sparks had been flying around for a while, and they were dented as well.
As Fei's power increased, his opponent finally couldn't handle him anymore. As their strikes collided, it seemed like the golden skeleton that was inside [One Sword]'s body was being shaken, and it was almost being hammered out of [One Sword]'s body.
Right now, the golden skeleton was at a disadvantage, and it could only be beaten; it couldn't fight back effectively.
"No… This is the power of a G.o.d! You are only a mortal! How can you be capable of such power!?" Powerful yet angry spirit energy exploded out of the golden skeleton, and it expanded and roared in all directions. Fei was the closest to the golden skeleton, and he was able to interpret the spirit energy and understand what this golden skeleton meant.
Tink!!!
This last hammer strike knocked a dash of golden light out of [One Sword]'s body.
Just as Fei expected, this dash of golden light was that golden skeleton which was pinned to the ground by that half-broken mysterious stone pillar.
The only difference was that the broken bones on this skeleton recovered, and it was complete and shiny; it no longer looked dead like when Fei first discovered it beside the Mythical Altar.
Also, since it completely recovered, the emptiness in its eye sockets was replaced by burning dark-red flames.
When Fei looked at these two clouds of flames, Fei sensed destruction, violence, and a desire for revenge.
This golden skeleton stared at Fei with its 'eyes' for a second, and it wasted no time.
It easily tore open the s.p.a.ce with its injured hand bones, and it dived into the void and disappeared.
Fei didn't have time to chase after it. Instead, he sent out a cloud of golden energy and softly lifted the remaining body of [One Sword] that was falling from the sky.
To Fei's surprise, [One Sword] didn't die yet; he was still somehow alive.
Now, [One Sword] was finally back to his human-like self. Even though his aura was weak, he went back to his former self where he was lonely and desolate, proud and prideful.
As he opened his eyes, Fei could tell that the real [One Sword] was back. He was cold like ice, and no one could mimic this temperament of his.
"King of Chambord, long time no see!" [One Sword] said slowly with a smile on his face.
[TL Notes: Hey guys, here is the first release of the day. I saw some comments regarding the current plot, so I think I will address it here since many of you might have the same questions. First of all, the enemies came from the South, but they must came fast since they are much more powerful. Even though Fei could get the info from Kashya real quick, the information delivery system at the Letter Office might still be slow since the teleportation system is stilling being tested. Therefore, when the frontline intelligence workers got the information, they might not have pa.s.sed it back to St. Petersburg in time before Kashya came to Chambord for the wedding. This is my explanation. There might be holes in it, but it is the best that I can come up with. Second, I guess this chapter explained by [One Sword] became so powerful all of a sudden.
