Hail the King

Chapter 460: This Undead Magic is Too Weak

“Hehe, since you said that, then it must be it,” Cindy fixed her long hair and didn’t give out any information.

The mid-aged mage laughed and said, “Haha, little girl, it is fine if you don’t want to tell me; I’m not interested in this type of stuff. However, I can tell that you are talented by the magic elements naturally hanging around you; you might have the Natural Elemental Body Type and are a genius. How about you become my disciple?”

“Puff……” Arthur instantly spat out the meat in his mouth and shouted, “Old Bastard, are you serious? It has been a few hundred years since you took someone as your disciple. Did you forget? If it weren’t for that disgusting disciple of yours, we wouldn’t be in this situation today!”

However, the mid-aged mage ignored Arthur; he waited patiently for Cindy’s response.

“No,” Cindy shook her head and rejected firmly, “Pardon my rudeness, but I already have a master.”

“No need to make a decision this quick. Little girl, you need to think this through. Too many people want to become my disciple…… If you miss out on this opportunity, you won’t get it back,” the mid-aged mage said earnestly.

“Hahaha! Elder, since General Cindy doesn’t want to become your disciple, there is no need to persuade her further,” laughter and a series of footsteps sounded outside the palace, and the soldiers who were guarding the palace all single-kneeled as a handsome young man who was in a light blue robe walked in.

“Mr. Alexander, you…… Are here?” Cindy was thrilled to see Fei here. She stood up out of surprise, and it looked like she wanted to say something. However, she didn’t say anything in the end.

“Eh, General Cindy, it has been hard on you. You should go back to take a hot bath and have some rest,” Fei said.

Princess Cindy had a prestigious status and was weak in terms of physical strength. Compared with men who were much tougher physically, she should have some rest since she had been busy traveling for the last while.

The Magic Princess was touched that the Legion Commander was worried about her, but she said after she glanced at the two mysterious people in the palace, “Sir, I should probably stay……”

“Don’t worry; I know what I’m doing. After you leave, pass my order and tell all the soldiers to back off for 500 meters and lock down the area,” Fei said with a smile on his face.

Fei’s confidence calmed Cindy down, and she said before walking out, “Please be careful.”

“You are Alexander? You created that phenomenon, right?” the mid-aged mage asked after he observed Fei from head to bottom. He had a casual smile on his face, and it was evident that he had detected Fei’s true strength but still wasn’t worried.

“Yeah, it’s me,” Fei wasn’t reserved as well. After he replied, he took out a small knife from his storage space, walked to the roasted meat Cindy prepared, and started to feast. After a moment, he asked casually, “I guess you must be Undead Mage Hazel Bank who dominated the continent many years ago, right?”

The atmosphere in the palace instantly tensed up after he said that.

It became super quiet that the drop of a needle could even be heard.

Two dashes of light shot out of the mid-aged mage’s eyes as his aura started to grow and expand. In just a few seconds, it felt like he was a mountain that was collapsing onto Fei. The boy beside him also underwent some change. Arthur’s eyes became completely black like an abyss, and the dark light emitting from his body darkened the campfire in the palace.

The three of them looked at each other, and the friction almost created sparks in mid-air; it felt like an intense battle was about to break out.

However, Fei ignored the tensed atmosphere completely.

He continued to eat the delicious roasted meat, and he took out a bottle of top-tier wine from his storage space and chugged it down. The aroma of the wine instantly filled the palace.

“Huh? Great wine!” the mid-aged man praised subconsciously as his eyes lit up.

This man had drunk a ton of great wines and liquor in his lifetime, and the wine Fei was drinking wasn’t the best among them. However, he hadn’t had the chance to drink something this good in a long time since he and the boy were being chased around.

Arthur also went back to his original form as he sniffed the aroma greedily.

“Haha!” Fei laughed as he took out two more bottles of the same wine, and the two bottles flew towards the two people slowly after he waved his hand.

“Hahaha! Thanks a lot!” the mid-aged man quickly grabbed onto the bottle and started to chug. He only stopped after half a bottle was gone, and he stroked his long beard and replied, “You are right! I’m Hazel Bank, the Undead Mage who would turn everyone around him into Undead Creatures.”

Beside him, Arthur also grabbed onto the bottle and started to chug; soon, some of the wine stained his clothes.

Their frank behavior instantly gave Fei a good impression of them.

“Why? You guys aren’t afraid of me putting poison in them?” the King asked intentionally as he raised his bottle.

“Haha, since you know I’m Undead Mage Hazel Bank, then you should also know that Undead Mages are never afraid of poison,” a haughty expression appeared on the face of this mid-aged man as he said that.

At that moment, the temperament of the Senior Elder of the [Undead Shrine] who dominated over the continent a long time ago could be vaguely sensed.

“You are right; Undead Mages are also great at Poison Spells; Undead and poison couldn’t be separated,” Fei nodded and said.

“Huh? You know about this?” Hazel Bank was a little surprised.

Fei shrugged and replied, “Everyone knows about this from the traveling poets; aren’t all of the evil Undead Mages poisoning and killing people?”

Hazel Bank was a little surprised, and he soon nodded afterward.

“Great! Now we are all fed, let me see what you are capable of,” Fei laughed as he wiped the grease off his face.

“What?” the mid-aged mage and the boy were all stunned.

“I heard that you are a Senior Elder at the [Undead Shrine] that had a glorious past. You must know a lot of high-level Undead Spells, and I want to see some of them. Please show me,” Fei smiled and said again.

“Young man, are you sure? Undead Energy is a forbidden power on this continent; you might regret asking me this once you see it. However, since you gave me a bottle of fine wine, I will allow you to withdraw the request,” Hazel Bank said to Fei with an earnest expression; that joking and casual expression was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Arthur already finished drinking the wine, and he was licking the opening on the bottle. As if he was thinking of something else, he completely ignored the reheated situation.

Fei smiled and shook his head.

“Alright, I will grant your wish!” Hazel Bank’s expression changed again as he flicked his fingers. A cloud of black mist flowed out of his fingers, and he lightly chanted, “Devils from hell, please reveal your fangs and express your anger at this dirty and filthy world!”

Whoosh!

This cloud of black mist dashed into a skeleton in the palace.

Since Hazel Bank and Arthur occupied this main palace in the city, the soldiers of Zenit hadn’t finished cleaning, and there were still quite a lot of skeletons with layers of dust on them at the corners of the palace; they were best for Undead Magics.

After the cloud of black mist entered one skeleton, the bones that were scattered on the ground combined as it stood up.

Two bloody red flames lit up in its eye sockets, and it slowly walked around as it made a series of sharp and ear-piercing bone-gliding noises. Its head turned around by 360 degrees, and it started to reorganize the messy bone pieces in its body as if it had consciousness. Afterward, it picked up a big animal bone and swung it to use it as a weapon.

Skeleton Spell!

Fei clearly sensed a chilly energy in the palace after Hazel Bank cast that spell. This skeleton soldier had the strength of One-Star, and the bone in its hand looked sharp as a knife after the black mist went through it.

However, the strength of this skeleton soldier was far below Fei’s expectation.

Hazel Bank was already infamous more than 100 years ago, and he was one of the Senior Elders of the [Undead Shrine]; his power was enough to scare a ton of people. Even though the Holy Church conquered the [Undead Shrine], Hazel Bank was able to escape; that also showed how great his strength was.

As a result, Fei expected a lot from this mid-aged man. So far, it had been disappointing.

Whoosh!

Fei flicked his finger, and a dash of sword energy turned this skeleton soldier into a pile of bone dust.

“This is the Undead Energy that could make the continent shake in fear? This Undead Magic is too weak,” Fei said as he shook his head.
