Chapter Summaries

Sun Fei accepted Abramovich’s gifts, sent two hundred soldiers on an ambush mission, and left Twin Flag City to investigate the Ancient Castle of Death. He discovered the red quicksand was filled with millions of Berserk Gold-Devouring Ants and questioned whether the Wolf Fang Legion could safely reach the city.

• Sun Fei accepted Abramovich’s six treasure chests, including a pair of ancient, exceptionally heavy swords, and acknowledged that he knew why the merchant had come.
• Sun Fei sent Heskey to warn Jessica about the Soros Chamber of Commerce, then addressed the two hundred soldiers Shevchenko and Ribery had prepared for an ambush.
• The soldiers slipped through the Ajax encirclement under cover of night, and Sun Fei left Twin Flag City in Assassin Mode after instructing Čech and the Four Vajras.

• Sun Fei sent a summoned giant white wolf across the quicksand, where millions of Berserk Gold-Devouring Ants devoured it almost instantly.
• Sun Fei wondered how the Wolf Fang Legion’s thirty thousand-plus soldiers could enter the ancient city safely and decided to investigate it himself.

Sun Fei explored the Ancient City of Death, found the secret passage beyond the Gold-Devouring Ant nest, and sent a message to the Wolf Fang Legion. He then returned to the Diablo World with Elena, where they fought through the Worldstone Keep and prepared to face Baal.

• Sun Fei crossed the Gold-Devouring Ants' quicksand barrier and explored the Ancient City of Death, discovering its magnetic field and evidence of a massacre.

After reaching the Worldstone Chamber, Sun Fei left Baal alive to handle urgent matters in the real world and coordinated the Wolf Fang Legion’s entry into the Ancient City of Death. He left Xindi and Reyes to guard the city while he and Arjen rode with three thousand cavalry to bring the main force into Twin Flag City.

• Sun Fei left Diablo after gathering the spoils and waited near the secret passage outside the Ancient City of Death for the Wolf Fang Legion’s reinforcements.
• Arjen, Xindi, and Reyes arrived with more than five thousand cavalry and several hundred supply carriages, and Sun Fei ordered them to move the supplies into the city while avoiding a deadly river of quicksand.
• Sun Fei, Xindi, and Reyes attacked Ajax scouts following the cavalry, but let three scouts escape after the force had bought enough time.
• Arjen reported that the supplies had entered the city safely, and Sun Fei assigned two thousand cavalry, Xindi, and Reyes to secure the Ancient City of Death.
• Sun Fei shut and concealed the city gates, then rode with Arjen and three thousand cavalry toward the Wolf Fang Legion’s main camp to bring the main force into Twin Flag City.

Sun Fei returned to the Wolf Fang Legion’s camp and reunited with his officers, Angela, and the others before ordering the army to follow Arjen and move out. In the Ajax camp, Inler told Fairenton what he had discovered beneath a well and began recounting how he cut his rope to explore deeper.

• Inler awoke in the Ajax camp and told Fairenton he had found something strange beneath the well.
• Inler described discovering a vast underwater expanse and cutting his rope to dive farther down.

Inler revealed that his dormant water-element bloodline had let him reach the underwater ruins, which Fairenton suspected were ancient God and Demon Ruins. After learning that Zenitian cavalry had headed toward the Ancient Castle of Death, Fairenton deployed forces to intercept them and prepared for an expected attack on his camp, confident he could handle the King of Chambord.

• Inler told Fairenton that he had awakened a strange ancient bloodline and seen possible Six-Star-class ruins beneath the water, and Fairenton warned him to keep the discovery secret.
• Fairenton suspected that the King of Chambord might also know about the underwater ruins because the wells had behaved strangely at Twin Flag City.
• A wounded scout reported that more than five thousand Zenitian cavalry had left the Wolf Fang Legion camp and ridden toward the Ancient Castle of Death, and Fairenton treated the scout's wound.
• Fairenton ordered Erdos and Kelundo to lead separate forces of six thousand Earth Tiger knights toward the Ancient Castle of Death to attack or reinforce against the Zenitians.
• Fairenton ordered increased surveillance of the Wolf Fang Legion camp and prepared his army to repel a Zenitian charge, saying he had a way to deal with the King of Chambord.

Fairenton watched six thousand Zenit cavalry attack the Ajax army and saw Frank Lampard break through its spear-and-shield formation. Learning that Lampard was likely the former master of Chambord, Fairenton decided to kill him himself.

• Fairenton put on his helmet and said he would fight Lampard himself to hurt Alexander.

Fairenton directed the Ajax forces to contain Zenitian attacks on both wings while keeping the central army ready to trap the reinforcements. When the Zenitian main force stopped short of the battlefield, he ordered a gap opened for Lampard’s surrounded cavalry, hoping to draw the Wolf Fang Legion into his encirclement.

• Fairenton declined to fight while waiting for the King of Chambord, warning his two senior brothers from Great Snow Mountain that Alexander was exceptionally powerful.
• After Zenitian cavalry attacked from the south, Fairenton sent eleven thousand Earth Tiger cavalry to meet them and ordered Lampard’s six thousand cavalry surrounded but not attacked.
• A scout reported that ten thousand Zenitian infantry and three thousand cavalry with supplies were approaching, and Fairenton ordered ten thousand infantry sent against a later attack from the west.
• Fairenton explained that he had planned to wear down the Zenitians at the siege and hoped to lure the King of Chambord into battle.
• When a rider reported that the Zenitian reinforcements had halted a mile away, Fairenton ordered the center to open a gap and let Lampard’s cavalry pass through slowly to bait the Wolf Fang Legion.

Fairenton’s carefully planned attack faltered as Zenit forces occupied the Ancient Castle of Death and scattered Ajax troops across the battlefield. The Zenit cavalry broke through toward Twin Flag City, where two Great Snow Mountain masters attacked, but a powerful Zenit warrior rose to challenge them.

• Fairenton opened a gap in the Ajax formation to lure Frank Lampard’s six thousand Zenit cavalry into a trap.
• Scouts reported that Zenit forces had occupied the Ancient Castle of Death and that other Zenit units had disappeared, prompting Fairenton to order the Ajax troops back and attack the cavalry.
• Frank Lampard unleashed a powerful Dou Qi skill, helping the Zenit cavalry break through the Ajax formation and race toward Twin Flag City.
• Fairenton summoned his two senior brothers from the Great Snow Mountain, and they attacked the retreating Zenit cavalry with fire Dou Qi as the Ajax army advanced on the city.
• The two masters flew toward Twin Flag City’s western gate, but a burly Zenit warrior rose from the cavalry and confronted them with lightning power.

Frank Lampard and Elena stopped two Great Snow Mountain experts from advancing on Twin Flag City, shocking Prince Fairenton with the strength of the King of Chambord’s forces. The attackers learned the defenders’ names, while Alexander remained yet to join the fight.

• Frank Lampard used lightning attacks to hold back one Great Snow Mountain expert, while Elena countered the other with ice arrows.
• The four fighters’ clashes filled the battlefield with fire, ice, lightning, and destructive shock waves that forced Ajax’s soldiers to retreat.
• The Great Snow Mountain experts asked which defender was Alexander, and Lampard declared that they were not worthy of challenging his king.
• Lampard identified himself as the King of Chambord’s Gold Saint, and Elena introduced herself as a warrior from Chambord City.
• Prince Fairenton recognized the fighters as Lampard and Elena and was stunned that they had stopped his Nine-Star Class senior brothers, Anita and Ainuo.

Sun Fei and the cavalry escort, including Angela, made it through the Ajax camp and entered Twin Flag City. As Lampard and Elena fought two Ajax Nine-Star masters beneath the western gate, Sun Fei watched from the battlements and marveled at Lampard’s rapid growth.

• Fairenton halted the Ajax army’s charge after Anita and Ainuo failed to overcome Lampard and Elena.
• Sun Fei brought Angela and the other women into Twin Flag City with the cavalry, and the city gates closed behind them.

• Lampard and Elena resumed their evenly matched battle against two Ajax masters as soldiers on both sides watched.
• Sun Fei observed Elena suppressing one opponent with arrows and Lampard holding his own against the other, and he wondered at Lampard’s extraordinary growth.

• Sun Fei observed Lampard hold his own against a Nine-Star Class expert from the Great Snow Mountain as soldiers at Twin Flag City cheered for their commanders.

• The four generals summoned their Cloths and split into pairs to confront the newcomers.
• Sun Fei let the generals fight to gain experience while remaining prepared to step in, though he wondered why Ajax had so many experts.

Three Great Snow Mountain Holy Land experts replaced Fairenton beneath the Ajax commander's banner, and Doni set out to challenge King of Chambord Alexander. As the battles beneath Twin Flag City intensified, Sun Fei prepared to intervene, but a surge of powerful auras came from the Ajax army.

• Murdoch and Doni appeared with a mysterious red-robed figure at the Ajax army’s command banner, while Fairenton stood behind them.
• Fairenton warned Murdoch and Doni not to underestimate King of Chambord Alexander, and Doni vanished to challenge him.
• Čech used his Scarlet Needle technique with Pierce’s Holy Sword Excalibur to wound a nine-star fire-element expert.
• Drogba and Torres fought another nine-star expert with Great Horn and a barrage of star-powered arrows, injuring him despite their own wounds.
• Sun Fei prepared to stop the battles when terrifying auras, far stronger than nine-star power, surged from the Ajax army.

Sun Fei protected Twin Flag City’s defenders and fought Doni, a Moon-Class master, after Doni attacked the battlefield. Their duel ended with Doni badly shaken and Sun Fei having gained new insight into Moon-Class combat.

• Doni appeared on the battlefield and sent six crimson sword strikes toward Lampard, Elena, Pierce, Čech, Drogba, and Torres, but Sun Fei shattered them with glass-colored fist imprints.
• Sun Fei confronted Doni and ordered his companions back to Twin Flag City, then drove Doni back with a single punch and incapacitated four Nine-Star Class masters.

• Sun Fei and Doni fought at tremendous speed for several minutes, clashing their weapons thousands of times.
• Sun Fei landed unharmed apart from a small tear in his shoulder, while Doni’s robe was slashed repeatedly and his arms bled; Doni realized Sun Fei had held back.

Sun Fei defeated Doni, a Great Snow Mountain master, but sensed a terrifying force from the mysterious figure beneath the Ajax commander’s banner and spared Doni’s life. He knocked Doni unconscious and sent him back to the Ajax camp, then faced the hidden powerhouse with a smile.

• Zenit soldiers celebrated Sun Fei’s victory, while the Ajax army’s morale collapsed and Fairenton realized Sun Fei could fight Moon Class masters.
• Sun Fei assessed Doni’s unstable Moon Class strength and recognized that his Barbarian Mode gave him a decisive advantage.
• Sun Fei used Leap Attack to crush Doni’s defense and blast him into a crater.
• Sun Fei sensed the distant figure’s deadly aura and chose not to kill Doni.
• Sun Fei knocked Doni unconscious, tossed him to the four Great Snow Mountain warriors, and watched the mysterious figure beneath the Ajax commander’s banner.

After healing Doni, the mysterious red-robed master refused to let his disciples fight Sun Fei and stepped into battle himself. Sun Fei unleashed his strongest Barbarian sword technique, but the master's invisible palm shattered the attack and continued advancing.

• The red-robed master healed Doni, rebuked him for his recklessness, and ordered him to stabilize his newly attained Moon Class realm.
• Murdoch offered to fight Sun Fei, but the master declared that Murdoch was no match and then moved to confront Sun Fei himself.
• Elena joined Sun Fei as the soldiers of Twin Flag City fell silent before the impending battle.
• Sun Fei equipped his strongest available gear and used [Whirlwind Slash] with the twin swords of the [Bul-Kathos' Children] set.
• The red-robed master's gentle palm stopped Sun Fei's sword energy in midair, shattered it, and kept pressing forward.

Sun Fei fought the red-robed man’s overwhelming palm outside Twin Flag City, enduring devastating injuries while Elena supported him with arrows and healing magic. As Angela sensed that Alexander was in danger, Sun Fei felt himself approaching a mysterious breakthrough.

• The red-robed man’s palm shattered Sun Fei’s Whirlwind Slash and drove him backward, while Elena’s arrows vanished before reaching it.
• Sun Fei endured crushing pressure and repeatedly unleashed Whirlwind Slash as Elena stood by him and the soldiers cheered from the walls.
• Murdoch and Fairenton watched in shock as Sun Fei continued to resist, and Sun Fei ordered the warriors on the wall not to interfere.
• Sun Fei shielded Elena and refused to retreat, while she ignored his request to withdraw and continued attacking.
• Elena activated Prayer to heal Sun Fei, who kept fighting with a Full Rejuvenation Potion between his teeth as he sensed a change within himself.
• Angela suddenly felt a painful sense of panic and looked toward Twin Flag City’s west gate, fearing that Alexander was in danger.

Angela rushed to the west wall to watch Sun Fei fight, where she prayed for him as he endured the red-robed figure’s crushing giant palm. Just as Sun Fei’s strength was failing, a vast, gentle power descended from the wall and flowed into his body.

• Angela rode the big black dog to the west gate, and Drogba stopped the nobles’ guards from intercepting her.
• Angela saw Sun Fei shielding the wounded Elena and, comforted by Frank Lampard, prayed for her husband to win.
• Sun Fei kept resisting the giant palm while retreating toward the wall, his body repeatedly healing and breaking apart as he protected Elena.
• A powerful, ancient, merciful aura surged from the wall and entered Sun Fei in waves.

Angela’s divine silver power helped Sun Fei endure the Snow Mountain Hermit’s attack, but an unknown expert in Twin Flag City intervened before the city could be destroyed. Sun Fei completed a powerful transformation as the red-robed man withdrew, wary of the hidden defender.

• Angela released a silver radiance that flowed into Sun Fei and made the giant palm hesitate, while the people on the wall knelt before her.
• The red-robed man recognized Angela’s power as divine, decided she was a threat, and sent the giant palm rushing toward Twin Flag City.
• Angela’s radiance faltered under the attack, and Sun Fei could neither control his transforming body nor escape through a portal.
• An enormous earth-element staff emerged from a sky-wide vortex and met the giant palm, and both attacks vanished without a destructive shock wave.
• A hidden expert in Twin Flag City challenged the red-robed man, who withdrew after Sun Fei’s wounds healed and his transformation neared completion.

• Fairenton ordered the Ajax army to withdraw and make camp after the mysterious expert intervened.
• Sun Fei shed his bloodied covering, reassured his soldiers, and ordered them to collect the fallen.
• Elena collapsed when Sun Fei reached her, and he used a Full Rejuvenation Potion and Paladin healing to treat her.
• Sun Fei learned that Angela had also fainted and was bleeding, then rushed her to the city lord's mansion with Elena.
• Victoria told Sun Fei he could enter the hall, where Sister Akara reported that both women were comatose from depleted vitality and soul power but were not in immediate danger.

Sun Fei learned that Angela and Elena had to be awakened within thirty days, and Akara said a Worldstone might save them if it could be purified. After leaving them in the care of Jima and the maids and securing the city lord’s residence, Sun Fei entered the Diablo World to kill Baal and obtain the Worldstone.

• Akara warned Sun Fei that Angela and Elena could suffer lasting harm or die if they stayed unconscious too long, and she identified the Worldstone as a possible source of soul energy to awaken them.
• Akara explained that the Diablo World’s Worldstone was tainted, but her research with Cain suggested it might be possible to purify it.
• Sun Fei promised the sleeping Angela and Elena that he would obtain the Worldstone, while Jima said she believed he would save her sister.
