Last night, after a Bloody battle, Sun Fei and Elena finally managed to defeat Baal, the super boss at the end of the final world on Nightmare Difficulty, just ten minutes before the game's time limit for the day expired.
It was an unprecedented and arduous battle.
With the initial development of intelligence and combat mindset, Baal is absolutely a nightmare for any opponent.
Not only is it incredibly powerful and possesses the aura of a god, but it has also learned to heal itself during battle, making it virtually invincible until its Magic Power power is exhausted.
In this war of attrition, Elena used up all the arrows she had prepared for the first time, and had to use her Paladin Bloodline mode to barely maintain the battle while constantly healing and supporting Sun Fei.
Sun Fei fought until his last potion was used up. Apart from the three low-level sets of [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ], [ Bul-Kathos' Soul Cage Holy Armor], and [ Immortal King's Forge War Gauntlets ], all his other magical equipment, such as helmet, boots, rings, and belt, turned to ashes in the battle. In the end, he almost ran around naked.
Of course, Baal's death brought Sun Fei a huge reward.
First, Sun Fei was given an enormous amount of experience points, which allowed him to instantly break through the inherent limitation of Nightmare Difficulty level 99 [ Barbarian Mode ] and qualify him to enter the Hell Difficulty world. It also raised Elena's Magic Archer level to 98, just one level away from being able to enter the Hell Difficulty Diablo World like Sun Fei.
Secondly, of course, Sun Fei was given a top-tier set of equipment as a gift.
Even His King himself didn't expect that he would have such incredible luck again, obtaining another component of the [ Immortal King Set ]—the [ Immortal King's Pillar War Boots ].
These exquisitely crafted metallic black combat boots perfectly covered Sun Fei's thighs and below, areas not protected by the [Holy Armor]. The ankles and knees featured a flexible, scale-like design that didn't hinder movement at all. Wearing them felt weightless, instead giving him a light and comfortable feeling. Their magical properties were also astonishing.
It has 388 defense, 88 durability, 40% higher running and walking speed, 110 attack accuracy, 100 defense, 84 health, halved freeze time, 160 defense, 2 combat skills ( Barbarian only), and a 25% better chance to obtain magic equipment.
This also means that Sun Fei has already collected four of the six pieces of the [ Immortal King Set ]. Next, if he can get the [ Immortal King's Detail War Belt ] and [ Immortal King's Will Avenger Guard ], he can collect a complete set of the ultimate Barbarian Warrior set.
Meanwhile, Valkyrie Elena obtained the crown [ M'avina's True Sight ] from the top-tier [ M'avina's Battle Hymn ] set.
This is a circular crown, with a mysterious golden divine stone inlaid at the very front. Its design is simple yet profound, exuding an aura of mystery and nobility. It possesses incredible effects such as increasing the speed of mana regeneration, casting speed, and increasing health. For the current Valkyrie Elena, it is absolutely a godsend. Having collected three pieces of the [ M'avina's Battle Hymn ] set, and gaining an additional 30 points of agility, Elena has leaped to the peak of the Moon Class Great Perfection, and is only a thin membrane away from the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position.
Of course, for Sun Fei, after defeating the final boss Baal, he also obtained a crucial treasure—
The [ Worldstone ] in Nightmare Difficulty.
This is the second Worldstone that Sun Fei obtained. Although it is also a corrupted Worldstone, it has been tainted by the power of Hell and is filled with evil energy. However, having already had the experience of Cleansing the Worldstone once, it is not difficult for Sun Fei to Cleansing again using the God and Demon Altar.
What's truly important is that this [ Worldstone ] contains an even more vast and inexhaustible amount of energy than the [ Worldstone ] in Normal Difficulty world. It can support any God Level magic array and power any magical item or God Dou Weapon in this world, possessing immeasurable power.
Sun Fei had a hunch that the [ Worldstone ] would become a huge asset for Chambord City's future.
That night, after defeating Baal, Sun Fei withdrew from the Diablo World.
This morning, after paying homage to the past kings of Chambord City, the God of War of War, and the heroes of the past at the summit of East Mountain, Angela and Elena returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the city. According to the tradition of this world, with the help of Best and others, they made final preparations. Meanwhile, Sun Fei returned to the Diablo World to continue killing monsters and leveling up.
He needs to maximize his strength before the storm arrives, increasing his chances of victory to the absolute maximum.
Just like before, Sun Fei finally saw the [ Hell Difficulty ] option on the screen leading to the Diablo World, and chose to enter the Hell Difficulty Diablo World.
Similar to Nightmare Difficulty, in Hell Difficulty, NPCs still lack any intelligence of their own; they are merely machines that provide items and accept quests.
Sun Fei's level, which he had increased in the Nightmare Difficulty world, was also completely reset.
As expected, the monsters in the wilderness were many times stronger. Even an ordinary Quill Rat in the Blood Moor was comparable to Moon Class Great Perfection expert in the real world. The spikes shooting out from its back made Sun Fei feel threatened. It was indeed a monster of the Hell level.
Of course, the stronger the monster, the more experience you get after killing it.
After killing ten [ Quill Rat ], Sun Fei finally gained enough experience points to level up and reach level 1 of Hell Difficulty [ Barbarian Mode ]. His strength also underwent a transformation. Under the golden pillar of light above his head, he spent more than half an hour undergoing physical transformation. His entire body was transformed into a faintly shining star, with golden light shining through, just like a rising sun.
"Is this what it feels like to reach the Great Sun-Rank Venerable?"
At this moment, Sun Fei frowned slightly.
He did indeed feel an immense and incredible power surging within his body, as if a single, gentle punch could knock down the stars in the sky, and a slight stomp could tear the earth beneath his feet apart. But... the problem was, why couldn't he sense the aura of the power of laws and condense his own Great Sun Phenomenon?
This puzzled Sun Fei.
However, he did not stop his monster-slaying and leveling-up spree.
Nearly two hours later, Sun Fei completed the first quest in the first act of the Hell Difficulty map [ Rogue Encampment ] - [ Clear the Den of Evil ]. As the last [ Fallen ] in the cave fell to the ground amidst its wailing, a ray of light shone down from the cave's dome, and Sun Fei heard that long-lost, mysterious, and cold voice in his ear.
After a slight pause, Sun Fei's face lit up with ecstatic joy.
The day of the wedding.
The red sunset on the horizon, urged on by millions, finally and reluctantly sank below the horizon.
Dressed in a sky-blue robe, the exceptionally handsome King of Chambord Alexander finally appeared in the waiting wedding procession amidst the cheers and adoration of his thousands of subjects. With a resounding military command, the dignified knights mounted their horses and, like stars surrounding the moon, surrounded their supreme king, setting off towards the prime minister's residence in the gentle evening breeze.
The excited people of Chambord lined both sides of the street, cheering loudly.
Flowers and fragrant branches were thrown under the King's horses' hooves by the enthusiastic crowd, creating a fragrant road.
Third update.
