Chapter 140: The Visit of the Fallen

“Ahh…”

Saliel let out a startled scream, instinctively taking a few steps back, and felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the cold skeleton sitting cross-legged on the bed.

What was going on with this skeleton? Where had Hu Feng gone? How could an evil skeleton suddenly appear in the holy Monastery?

After sneaking in stealthily, Saliel had found the leverage he wanted, but in the face of the skeleton before him, his mind went blank from shock. He kept retreating backwards. After knocking over a chair, he finally snapped back to reality, let out a scream, turned, and tried to run away. However, the moment he turned, he ran straight into someone. Looking up, he saw Hu Feng had somehow appeared behind him, a sinister smile on his face.

“Lord Saliel, what an honor to have you visit me today. Why in such a rush? Have a cup of tea before you leave!”

Seeing the terrified Saliel, Hu Feng smiled broadly. With a thought in his mind, a gust of cold wind suddenly appeared in the air. All the doors and windows instantly closed automatically. A majestic Death Aura filled the air, seeping into every pore of Saliel’s body. The skeleton, still sitting motionless on the bed, emitted a creaking sound as its bones rubbed together, as if it was struggling to stand up. This frightened the already terrified Saliel to the point where his Soul Scatters and Spirit Dissipates.

“Lord Hu Feng, I was wrong! I didn’t see anything, I really didn’t see anything!”

Looking at the empty eyes of the skeleton, Saliel felt his limbs go cold. He wanted to escape as far as possible, and his plea for mercy carried a hint of crying. At this point, even if he was not very smart, he knew he had accidentally stumbled upon Hu Feng’s secret. He had the leverage, but it was so hot and dangerous that he couldn’t even pick it up.

If he had known this would happen, he would have rather been an invalid for the rest of his life than sneaking in here secretly.

“Didn’t see anything?”

Hu Feng smiled without speaking, which made Saliel’s skin crawl. After a pause, he slowly continued, “That’s impossible. There is clearly an evil skeleton sitting on the bed, Saliel. How could you not see it? You only lost your Prime Force; you’re not blind. Turn around, come closer, and take a good look!”

An immense Prime Force had already sealed off the entire tranquil villa. Even if Saliel screamed loudly, no one would hear him. Hu Feng acted without restraint. His massive Death Aura made Saliel feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. After comprehending the power ful Prime Force, Hu Feng could convert any energy into Prime Force, or convert Prime Force into pure Death Aura or Fallen Aura.

“Dark Mage, Hu Feng, you… you are an evil Dark Mage?”

Saliel kept retreating in fear until he reached a corner. His teeth chattered involuntarily. At this moment, he finally understood Hu Feng’s true identity. Along the way, although he had always disliked Hu Feng, the mere Divine Official, and felt that all bad things seemed to be caused by him, he never expected that Hu Feng was actually an evil Dark Mage.

“No, you’re wrong. I am not some Dark Mage. I am… a Lich, a Lich King!”

Hu Feng gave a sinister smile and slowly advanced, causing the cornered Saliel to tremble with fear. The chilling Death Aura penetrated straight into his limbs and deep into his Soul. Accompanied by the overwhelming Fallen Aura, it directly erased the slightest thought of escape from Saliel’s heart.

An evil Lich King?

Saliel swallowed hard. “So, that was you who deliberately summoned the spirit of that Necromancer?”

“Yes!”

Hu Feng admitted it directly and openly, getting closer and closer to the terrified Saliel.

“Did you also secretly kill Abbas of Graham City?” Remembering how Abbas had strangely thrown himself at his long sword that day, Saliel suddenly understood.

“Yes!”

“Did you also arrange the incident with the profane Nun Bella?”

Having understood Hu Feng’s true identity, Saliel’s face turned pale. Many things that he had previously been unable to understand were now easily explained. In addition to his terror, he felt endless regret. If he had known Hu Feng was an evil Undead, when they first met at the Monastery in Cold Moon City, he should have ordered him to be killed on the spot.

If he had been more decisive back then, he wouldn’t be in this situation today!

If it weren’t for Hu Feng’s tricks, how could Abbas have died by his sword? How could he have been tortured into an invalid? If Hu Feng hadn’t used his evil control, how could he have suddenly appeared before Nun Bella in the middle of the night, causing him to be isolated and abandoned by the Knights who had once fought side by side with him?

Saliel realized that his entire life had been ruined by this evil Lich named Hu Feng.

If he could, he would have loved to press Hu Feng to the ground and bite pieces of his flesh off, mouthful by mouthful. Eat his flesh and drink his blood. Unfortunately, at this moment, he did not dare!

Forget about being an invalid now; even in his prime, he knew he was no match for this Lich King.

“Yes, I did everything!”

Hu Feng slowly pulled out the sharp Death Oak. Saliel was just a lackey like this, not even worthy of having him use the Great Devour Technique. “Saliel, you are smart and sensitive. Unfortunately, you realized it too late. Your actions were not wrong, and I even appreciated your unyielding spirit, managing to make such a commotion even as an invalid. Your only mistake is that you were too weak. If there is a next life, remember: if you have no strength, don’t try to show off. Be humble!”

Realizing the time was right, Hu Feng lifted the Death Oak as he spoke, preparing to send Saliel on his way. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to strike, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside. Countless people let out terrified screams. Then, a terrifying, invisible shockwave appeared in the air. Sand and rocks flew as it tore apart all the Magic Arrays within the city. The Prime Force protective shield surrounding the small courtyard shattered with a ‘crack’ and vanished. An immeasurable pressure suddenly spread to every corner of the castle. His brow throbbed intensely, and he felt a danger he had never experienced before.

The Fallen King?

Hu Feng was startled and quickly understood what was happening. Although he knew the Fallen King was preparing a huge conspiracy against Glory Castle, he didn’t expect him to start acting so soon and openly attack with his forces.

“Hahaha, Hu Feng, you are dead! You are dead!”

After his shock passed, Saliel, who had no idea what was happening, laughed loudly. He thought that the experts from the Monastery had discovered the Lich’s tracks and were attacking with all their strength. “You dared to sneak into the holy Glory Castle. You are dead! Come, come! Come kill me!”

“You want to die so badly? Fine, I’ll satisfy your wish!”

Hu Feng’s killing intent surged. He slashed with the sharp Death Oak, cutting off Saliel’s head. The head rolled to the side, and Saliel’s mouth continued to move as if saying something, his eyes wide open. Unfortunately, before completely dying, he did not see the expected Divine Court experts charging in. Instead, he saw a huge hand appear in the sky.

This was a hand that no human could possess. It was overwhelming, even larger than the entire Glory Castle. Each finger was like a peak tens of thousands of feet high, engraved with mysterious Runes. The world was filled with endless Fallen Aura. The clear sky moments ago was instantly covered by the giant hand, turning it pitch black like midnight.

In front of this giant hand, even the bravest Glory Knights and White-robed Priestesses completely collapsed, with not even a thought of resistance left in their minds. In an instant, everyone’s minds went blank, leaving only the urge to escape as far as possible. An unprecedented fear tightly bound everyone’s hearts.

Boom, rumble…

There were no mysterious spells. The sky-covering giant hand simply pressed down. The towering Magic Towers and watchtowers, the Monastery’s Crystal High Tower that pierced the clouds, and the sturdy and magnificent walls… all collapsed without anything to stop them. This giant hand seemed determined to crush the massive castle into ruins and press it three thousand feet underground!

Impressive!

Hu Feng admitted that although he was strong enough to fight a Demi-god Stronger, facing this giant hand that was far beyond human power, he could only sigh in defeat.

‘Whoosh’ His figure suddenly disappeared. Ignoring the danger of exposing his identity, he used the Great Teleportation Technique to appear in front of Bella and Cinia. Without explaining, he grabbed them one in each hand and quickly fled, heading straight for the Teleportation Array deep in the Monastery. As soon as they rushed out, the Saintess Hall behind them collapsed with a boom. The Nuns who couldn’t escape were instantly buried under thick earth.

Glory Castle was finished!

Now, for the Faith-guarding Knights and the Nuns, the only way to survive was to reach the heavily guarded Teleportation Array. Facing an supreme expert who had reached Demi-god Peak, the only place that was absolutely safe was returning to the Bright Summit, known as the Holy Land! The roads were jammed with terrified Knights, Priests, and Nuns. Their instinct for survival made everyone rush towards the single Teleportation Array, regardless of the cost. A squad of Knights guarding the Teleportation Array charged forward, shouting and screaming. One even slashed a fleeing soldier at the front in half with a sword, attempting to control the situation. Unfortunately, everything was futile, and they were swallowed by the surging crowd in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh…

No matter how many people there were, they couldn’t stop Hu Feng’s unpredictable teleportation. After a cold wind blew by, he brought Bella and Cinia onto the Teleportation Array. He raised his right foot high and stomped down hard. The shockwave raised by War Stomp blew everyone around the Teleportation Array away. After inputting pure Prime Force, the massive Teleportation Array emitted a dazzling silver light.

“I am sinister, I am despicable, I am fallen!”

Just as the Teleportation Array was about to activate, a voice rang out through the sky. Then, ethereal ancient music drifted from the distant Void. Black Runes fell from the sky. Looking up, snowflakes the size of goose feathers spread into every corner within a radius of ten thousand miles, covering the entire Agashi Plains.
