Chapter 468: More Secrets Revealed



“The Undead Energy in this world is too gloomy, and its appearance is much inferior to the Holy Power…… No wonder most of the people in this world reject it . However, only masters could tell that the Undead Energy is gloomy but not evil . It is not inferior to the Holy Power in terms of effectiveness and strength,” Fei thought .

As time passed by, Hazel Bank’s strength skyrocketed . It finally slowed down around level 9 top-tier New Moon; he was only a step away from breaking into the powerful Half Moon .

“Haha! Great! Now my strength has recovered to a bit! The safety of our trip just got better! Also, my strength will recover as the time goes by,” Hazel Bank’s voice sounded from the palace, and he was in a much better condition .

Soon, the energy surge around his body calmed down .
At the moment, Fei would have to run away as the Nightmare Mode Level 16 Barbarian if this Undead Mage wanted to fight him . [Snow Mountain Hermit] would be defenseless in front of Hazel Bank, and he probably couldn’t even get away safely if he tried .

Fei zapped his mouth and thought, “He is already this powerful with only a small portion of his strength . If he climbed back to his prime, he probably would be a Full Moon Elite who is only one step away from the realm of Sun-Class . ”
“Your Majesty, thank you for your help . From now on, your wishes are my duties and honors!” The Undead Mage bowed at Fei respectfully and used the salute that he would only use when talking to the Undead Pope . It was evident that he was determined to serve Fei .

On top of the fact that Fei healed him, Fei’s identity as [Death’s Favorite Child] and the potential savior of the Undead Shrine gave this Undead Mage a ton of hope .
Fei was surprised and joyous at Hazel Bank’s attitude . With such a powerful master beside him, the King no longer needed to handle everything by himself .

“Hey, kid! Come here! Help me too……” Arthur shouted . He was very envious since Fei cleansed Hazel Bank’s body . Since his injuries were the same as Hazel Bank’s, he wanted Fei to do the same to him .

Fei rubbed his chin and said intentionally, “You? I can’t . I’m not a veterinarian……”
Arthur didn’t know what to say; he stared at Fei with his big eyes as a sad expression appeared on his face .

“Haha! I’m kidding! However, I couldn’t cure you right now; I’m not familiar with the structure of a dragon body . Even though you are only based on a dragon skeleton, I might mess something up if I direct my energy through your body right now . I have a bottle of potion here to help you ease some of the negative effects of the injuries,” Fei said as he took out a bottle of purple [Full Rejuvenation Potion] .

“His Majesty is right . Your body is different from humans, so I should try to think of a way to cure you,” Hazel Bank, Arthur’s creator, said . He knew Arthur the best, and he agreed with Fei’s conservative approach .
Fei returned to Dual-Flags City before dawn .

The consecutive wins gave the residents a lot of hope, and the soldiers were motivated . The people of Dual-Flags City started to live as if the war wasn’t going on, and everything was happening in an orderly fashion . Since Fei had the help from people such as old Aryang, Cech, and Ribry, he was able to delegate his duties and be freer .

Since water kept on flying out of the water wells, Fei ordered the soldiers to lock down the area and forbidden anyone from coming into the region . The residents of Dual-Flags City could get their water from a pond that was connected to the water wells .

Mythical Gate was about to open, and Fei was able to enjoy the calmness before the storm .



Although ordinary people couldn’t detect anything, Fei was able to sense the tension in the air . After all, more than a dozen powerful sensations were around the city .

The weakest one among them was only a Nine-Star Warrior, but this person was still able to enter the city without being discovered by the soldiers .

Fei stayed in the watchtower on the west gate and released his powerful aura directly . The sensation of the Nightmare Mode Level 16 Barbarian was filled with danger, and it was a warning to all of those masters who were hiding around Dual-Flags City . It was telling them not to cause any trouble .

This warning was very effective; a full day passed by peacefully . Those masters had to obey the unwritten rules as if they were mice that saw a cat .

The night arrived, and there was only one day until the opening of the Mythical Gate .
Fei went back to the Mayor’s Mansion and spent some time with Elena and Angela who were still unconscious . After he chatted with Emma and comforted her, he went into a side building and entered Diablo World .

……
……

“Ah!!!! Baal won’t forgive you!”
Inside the Catacombs in the Monastery on the Tamoe Highlands, the former [Flower of Rogue] Andariel who got turned into a demon screamed and died in her blood .



After he entered Diablo World in Nightmare Mode, Fei killed a ton of monsters and finally completed the final quest in [Rogue Encampement] .

Andariel was a woman whose life was filled with tragedy . She got pushed into the forces of Hell by the darkness in human nature in the Monastery, and she fell in love with Diablo .
Now, she had died to Fei for the eighth time .

For some reason, Fei would think of Elena every time he saw Andariel . Both girls were named [Flower of Rogue]; although they fates were different, they were equally passionate about love . They were willing to give up everything including their lives for love!

There were a ton of items dropped by Andariel .
As the final boss in [Rogue Encampment] in Nightmare Mode, the quality of the drops was top-tier . One of them was a level 6 belt; it was silver and about 30 centimeters wide . There were a lot of decorative engravings on it, and it contained 20 storage units, much better than the belt Fei was using which contained only 12 storage units . Fei instantly equipped this belt .

At this moment, his Barbarian Character was Nightmare Mode Level 20, which was equivalent to level 1 mid-tier New Moon in the real world .

After cleaning up the battlefield, Fei went back to [Rogue Encampment] without hesitation via a [Town Portal Scroll] . After getting the rewards from the NPC, he sold some of the items he didn’t need and went to [Lut Gholein] with the help from Warriv

In Nightmare Mode, this city with the name of [Pearl in the Desert] was still ragged . The ancient buildings and deserted streets added to its state of desolation . There were only a few NPCs in this huge city, and thick layers of sand could be seen everywhere on the street .

The only difference was that Fei instantly sensed powerful evil sensations when he stepped into this city .

It was evident that the monsters on this map were much more powerful than before .

As Fei was about to go to the NPC for the first quest, that mysterious and cold voice suddenly sounded by his ear, “Haha! Congratulation, young man! You have advanced and are able to explore more mysteries in this world . Haha! Go on! There are a lot more surprises waiting for you! Hahahaha……”
This voice made Fei pause for a few seconds .

Fei was wondering why he didn’t get any rewards for completing all quests in the first map, and this mysterious and cold voice appeared in time to answer that question on his mind . It looked like he got something intangible, and he couldn’t detect it yet .

After a moment of pause, he continued to kill monsters to level up on the second map .

The Mythical Gate was about to open, and he had to hurry up and increase his strength . That was the only way that he could maximize the chance of finding that Mythical Altar .

After two hours, Fei was severely injured as blood covered his body . The monsters on the second map were a lot stronger, and they were a lot more dangerous to Fei . But after he worked hard and completed the first two quests in [Lut Gholein], [Radament’s Lair] and [The Horadric Staff], he was now a Nightmare Mode Level 24 Barbarian .
At this moment, he finally realized what that mysterious and cold voice meant by ‘more surprises’ . When he got to the portal on [Dry Hills], he suddenly sensed a series of magic energy surge from it .
