"That's just like D'Alessandro's style. One megalomaniac plus a bunch of megalomaniacs. Do they really think that more than forty Moon Class experts plus a Martial Saint disciple can run rampant in Zenit and wipe out the Zenit Imperial Family with their eyes closed?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Fei couldn't help but sneer, "Splitting into two groups? Heh heh, let's leave D'Alessandro's group alone for now; someone will deal with them later. As for Albelda's group, heh heh... Inform Brook and Best to send Chambord's best fighters to ambush them head-on. I want half of them wiped out before they even enter Chambord territory. I want to see who has the best chance of setting foot on my Chambord City's lands."
"Yes."
[Young] Modrić greatly encouraged. The arrogance displayed by His Majesty the King filled him with confidence as a subject, and he immediately turned around and went out to convey the King's order.
Soon, several dark red hummingbirds soared into the sky, their clear chirping echoing as they plunged into the air like fish entering water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After arranging everything, Modrić returned to his room and, pondering some issues, offered his advice. "Your Majesty, Albelda's group is indeed not a major concern, but D'Alessandro's forces are the most terrifying opponent. Based on previous information, this second disciple of Martial Saint Mountain has already reached the Great Sun Class Peak Great Perfection, boasting of being invincible in the Northern Region. While the Moon Class experts around him may not pose a threat, this person is someone we must be wary of."
Sun Fei lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "What you said makes sense. However, don't underestimate the power of the Zenit Imperial Family. For now, don't change the situation in the capital. Order the [ Letters and Visits Office ] along the way to keep an eye on D'Alessandro's group and report any unusual movements immediately."
"Yes." Modrić knew that His Majesty the King already had a plan in mind, and gradually felt relieved. He turned and left.
"Wait a minute," Sun Fei suddenly called out to him, instructing, "Tell everyone to be careful. Just follow their general movements; don't deliberately track them down, lest D'Alessandro discovers us."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will send out the best scouts to do this."
"Okay, well then, it all comes down to one thing: safety first."
"Yes, sir."
Modrić turned and left the room.
Sun Fei slowly returned to his seat, mentally planning how to handle what was to come.
Sun Fei had personally witnessed D'Alessandro's strength at the bottom of the sea. Apart from the Sea Clan god Kluivert and the phantom of the Martial Saint Maradona, this second disciple of Martial Saint Mountain was indeed the strongest Human Clan he had ever encountered. With the strength of Great Sun Class Peak Great Perfection, he was unpredictable and unfathomable. At least for now, Sun Fei was no match for him in a head-on confrontation.
However, D'Alessandro's attack presented an opportunity for Sun Fei.
Under such circumstances, the alignment of various forces within Zenit will become more distinct, presenting the best opportunity to test people's hearts. Moreover, Sun Fei has never been sure of the true strength of Emperor Yassin of Zenit. This time, D'Alessandro's unreasonable attack will inevitably clash with Emperor Yassin Yassin has never lost to anyone in his life." Perhaps this is the best opportunity to see Emperor Yassin's true strength.
Having figured out the crux of the matter, Sun Fei temporarily put it aside and began entering the Diablo World to kill monsters and level up.
These past few days, being trapped in the [ Sigh of Divine Grace ] formation has already wasted a lot of time. Before the trial arrives, Sun Fei's most urgent need is to quickly improve his strength.
Because Sun Fei had previously spent a lot of experience points to Summon Duriel Lord of Pain, in order to break through the [ Sigh of Divine Grace ] magic circle, his strength had decreased. Sun Fei appeared in the second quest area of Diablo IV map - Hellforge.
The Hellforge is located at the deepest part of the River of Flame. This is the legendary Hell place where magma from underground surges out and flows across the surface like a river. The scorching heat prevents the magma from solidifying even when exposed to the air. The air temperature is astonishingly high. Martial artists below the Six-Star Class would likely be instantly roasted into a pile of ashes in the face of such high temperatures.
In addition, on the solidified Rock, there are countless human souls bound by black demonic chains, suffering the scorching heat of Hell, unable to escape, emitting endless, agonizing howls, which are extremely terrifying.
Sun Fei appeared here alone.
Although this wasn't his first time in [ River of Flame ], the realism of the Normal Difficulty and Nightmare Difficulty worlds was far inferior to that of the Hell Difficulty world. Stepping into this dark land of death this time felt to Sun Fei like he had entered a real Hell.
Valkyrie Elena is the main force in Chambord City's attack on Albelda and his group. With the Necromancer Hasselbaink and several elders of the [ Black-Robed Holy Temple ] not taking action, she is Chambord City's current reliance and will not be returning to help Sun Fei kill monsters and level up for the time being.
In the previous battle, Sun Fei had already obtained Mephisto's Soulstone. This time, his mission was to kill an extremely terrifying demon deep within the [ River of Flame ] and obtain the iron hammer it carried. Only with this hammer could Mephisto's Soulstone be shattered.
Countless demons dwell in the solidified Rock passages in the middle of the fiery river.
This is Hell land, so the demons and monsters here can unleash terrifying power. Facing the dual-wielding [ Hell Knight ], the endless hordes of poisonous insects, and the thick-skinned [ Lord of the Pit ], even someone as powerful as Sun Fei dared not be the slightest bit careless. Summon all the available pieces of the [ Immortal King Set ] and the [ Soul Crusher Hammer ], advancing fully armed.
It took Sun Fei more than two hours to fight his way out and find the boss-level demon who was guarding the iron hammer. This was a green-skinned, bull-demon-like creature with immense strength, accompanied by countless demons. It was extremely difficult to deal with. Sun Fei paid the price of eighteen [ Full Rejuvenation Potion ] to kill all of them.
A large amount of experience points transformed into a golden halo and surged into Sun Fei's body, making up for the experience points lost due to the use of the [ Summon ] divine skill. His strength increased, and His Majesty the King's strength returned to level 70.
Retrieving the soul stone from his storage space—the one Demon God Mephisto, one of the three giants— Sun Fei picked up the iron hammer on the ground and placed the soul stone on the designated altar. Just as he was about to smash it to pieces, which would be tantamount to completely killing Mephisto, a Power of God suddenly surged from the Soulstone, conveying waves of mental energy.
Sun Fei was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
After about ten minutes, Sun Fei made a decision.
Instead of destroying Mephisto's Soulstone, he put it back into his storage space.
In the following game time, Sun Fei continued to kill monsters and level up, proceeding to the final quest of the fourth act's world map, [ The Terror's End ]—entering the deepest part of Hell, [ The Chaos Sanctuary ]. This place is home to the most densely packed and terrifying monsters in Hell, and also seals away Diablo, one of the three Diablo Demon God of Hell, whom countless players call Big Pineapple.
Sun Fei needed to open five seals in succession. Each seal opened would spawn a large number of Hell demon monsters. Only after killing all these demons would Big Pineapple appear. Sophie fought for a full six hours. When the game time was about to end, Sun Fei had cleared four seals.
At this point, Sun Fei's strength had increased to level 72.
After collecting the equipment of various levels that had fallen to the ground, Sun Fei returned to [ Pandemonium Fortress ] and sold it to an NPC before exiting the Diablo world.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
In the pale blue sky, a few stars still twinkled faintly, and the earth gradually awoke from darkness.
Less than a hundred miles ahead, they would enter the territory of the first-class vassal state of Chambord City. In the sky, twenty-three streaks of light of different colors flashed, carrying extremely powerful auras, and sped toward Chambord City like comets streaking across the sky.
It was under the leadership of Albelda, a powerful Great Sun-Rank Venerable, that these powerful warriors marched menacingly to the Chambord City to massacre its inhabitants.
This is the first update. I only had time to find time to update after I helped my boss fall asleep in the hospital room.
Thank you all for your understanding and support.
