Hail the King

Chapter 523: A Strange Dream (Part One)

Black Tornado’s four limbs were as thick as pillars of a palace. Even though its four-meter long tail didn’t lose any fur, a bone sphere that had a diameter of half a meter and had spikes on it appeared on the end of its tail; it looked like a hammer, and the tail looked similar to the tail of an Ankylosaurs. When Black Tornado wiggled its tail, a huge wind would be created.

Also, the fur around its neck grew out a lot, and it looked like a cloud of black flame. There were now two sharp horns that were 40 centimeters each on its head, and its sharp teeth looked like knives. When it opened its mouth, a thick sulfur smell would also appear as if it was going to spit out the fire.

No one knew if this big black dog had a Beast Crystal in its body, and no one knew if it could be counted as a Demon Beast.

However, everyone knew that its combat ability was on another level. The mutated Level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts were too weak in front of this dog. Only a Demon Beast that was Level 8 or higher could match up against this dog that had been consuming [Hulk Potion] for a long time.

When Fei first tested [Hulk Potion] on it, he never imagined this outcome.

"Ruff! Ruff" Black Tornado’s barks were filled with intimacy. It laid down in front of Angela, and excitement was written all over its face.

Although Angela who was standing up was shorter than its head, this scene looked extremely heart-warming.

Everyone at Chambord knew that if it weren’t for Angela who took Black Tornado back from the back mountains of Chambord when it was only a little puppy, it might have starved to death or became another beast’s food. Even though it had been following Fei around, its bond with Angela didn’t decrease at all.

"Blacky, you grew even more......" Angela stood on her tiptoes and lightly rubbed its head as she communicated with it.

"Woof!" Blacky stuck out its tongue and tried to regulate its breath. It didn’t want to blow Angela away. However, it couldn’t contain itself and started to wiggle its tails rapidly; it was the natural response for a dog when it saw its master.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bone sphere with spikes on it swung around with its tail, and huge pits were created by it.

As chipped rocks and tiles flew into the air, everyone had to jump away while laughing.

Hooligan that was standing on its back legs and looking cool suddenly got interested in Blacky’s tails. It got close to the tail and wanted to grab it to take a closer look. However, it wasn’t fast enough and got smashed by the tail instantly. As Hooligan cried, it got knocked away and only stopped when its body hit a wall. Then, it slid down the wall slowly as if it was a cartoon character.

However, both Thug and Chick didn’t do anything when their ’brother’ got bullied. Instead, they got in front of Blacky and made some sounds animatedly. It looked like they were greeting their boss and saying how powerful Blacky was.

These four beasts met two days ago, and they fought each other. Blacky easily defeated the other three creatures, and it became their boss.

There was a unique way that animals and beasts got along with each other.

For a moment, laughter filled the area. All the tribulation and struggles finally went past Chambordians, and peace and joy returned.

Fei didn’t stay and eat with Angela; he was worried about Elena’s condition.

Therefore, after he organized all the miscellaneous duties in the city, he entered Diablo World.

This time, he decided to enter the Normal Mode.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of air-piercing noises created by flying arrows sounded by his ears.

By the tents in [Rogue Encampment] where the female rogue lived and practiced their techniques, Fei saw the Valkyrie who was pale but was still practicing her archery.

At this moment, she was still the brave Valkyrie who would never back down from a ferocious battle. With the bow in her hand, she looked determined and sharp. Looking from afar, her figure was beautiful and unparalleled.

Chapter 523: A Strange Dream (Part Two)

The bow she was using was a hardwood bow, and arrows were sharpened tree branches.

However, each arrow would leave a series of afterimages in the air, showing an indescribable aura.

If her face wasn’t pale and she didn’t look fatigued, no one would know that this Valkyrie just woke up from a ten-day coma and escaped from the embrace of the Grim Reaper.

As she heard the familiar footsteps, Elena’s body shivered lightly as she turned around. action

As if she couldn’t believe her eyes, she murmured, "Is it really you?"

She looked delighted, but that turned into anxiousness. She quickly asked again, "Fei, is it really you? I had a long and strange dream. I was wandering in a world of no one, and I went to every place where we were at for battles. I met you many times there, but you were only a phantom...... This time...... Is it really you this time? Please don’t leave. Please stay with me for a little bit."

Fei couldn’t help but felt heartbroken when he saw her weak and powerless expression.

Elena was summoned back into Diablo World when she woke up, so she didn’t know what was going on in the real world. She didn’t know that she was saved by the [Worldstone], and she thought that she was still in her dream. Therefore, she wasn’t sure if she saw the real Fei or another phantom.

"It is me, Elena. You have woken up, and this isn’t a dream. Due to the natural laws in this world, you were pulled back here when you got healed." Fei walked to her and caressed her smooth cheeks. He said with love, "Everything is back to normal. You can feel the temperature of my fingers, right? It is really me."

Bam!

The wooden bow in this Valkyrie’s hand fell onto the ground.

Her hands that were stable and held onto her weapon during all times started to shake.

Fei didn’t say anything more. He simply embraced her.

At this moment, no distracting thoughts were on his mind. He felt an unprecedented peacefulness.

After this scary incident, Fei finally knew how important these two girls were to him.

Before, Fei had been hesitating. He still believed in monogamy, and he felt like he had to make a painful decision and choose between Angela and Elena. However, after the two girls both stood up and risked their lives for him when he was in danger, he suddenly felt like he couldn’t leave either of them when he saw their faces when they were unconscious.

It was quite an experience.

Fei lived in both Diablo World and the real world, and he got to meet both of these amazing girls. The special encounters and events made him somehow have two unique relationships. Now, the King realized what was going on, and he decided to reach out both of his hands and not let either of them go.

"You are saying that you met Angela in your strange dream?"

On the summit of Mount Arreat in the fifth map [Harrogath], Fei wrapped his arm around Elena’s shoulder as they sat down and looked out into the clouds. The huge continent and the majestic Harrogath City could be barely seen, and the two of them were enjoying this rare peacefulness. Fei felt like his soul was even enjoying this moment.

This time, Fei didn’t hurry up and kill monsters to level up.

For the first time, he took some time out of his schedule to walked around Diablo World with Elena. In the last few hours, they didn’t run around, get bathed in the blood of monsters, and complete missions. Instead, like tourists, they wandered around the places that they once battle through but didn’t get the chance to enjoy the scenery.

"Eh, when I lost consciousness, I had a bizarre dream. I was in a strange world where there isn’t any limitation of s.p.a.ce and time. I saw many people’s phantoms there, including yours. However, only Angela gave me the feeling of a real person. She kept me company, and we both looked for you together. We both encouraged each other and believed that you would find us and save us from that cold world." Elena smiled and leaned her head on Fei’s shoulder. With a smile on her face, she added, "Fei, you didn’t let us wait for too long. I knew that nothing in this world could stop you."

"Eh, if you praise me too much, I will become too proud," Fei smiled and replied. At the same time, he started to think over what Elena just said.
