The battle was really intense.
Fei used Assassin Mode at the beginning of the assassination.
However, his Assassin Character was only level 66 which was equivalent to a Seven-Star Warrior. After incorporating the special techniques of the Assassin Character, Fei was able to assassinate Eight-Star and Nine-Star Warriors. Although Fei was able to get really close to Balesi, he was discovered by his opponent.
He should still be able to have the advantage, but the huge difference in their strengths made him lose that.
After he was knocked into the mountain, Fei realized that his Assassin Character was too weak to injure a Moon-Class Elite. Therefore, he switched to his Amazon Character.
Amazon fighters specialized in many different areas including archery and javelin throwing. This character was good at range-attacks as well as some magic.
Fei also had done proper preparation the night before.
He trained hard in Diablo World, and he used the accumulated experience points and resources to level up the Amazon Character to level 68. Then, he purchased a lot of [Level 6 Rare Items] to greatly improve the combat ability of the Amazon Character.
In fact, Fei's Amazon Character did give Balesi, who was a lot powerful than him, some pressure.
Fei used a series of Amazon Skills such as [Power Strike], [Lighting Bolt] and [Exploding Arrow]. Even when facing Balesi's Moon-Class Technique [Holy Dragon Lance Shower], Fei was able to use the skill [Decoy] to scatter the dragon lances, and he was able to use [Avoid] and [Evade] to dodge the Moon-Class Elite's killer strike.
Unfortunately, the gap in strengths was just too big.
The only mistake Fei made was not expecting Balesi's Moon-Class Elite strength.
In the end, Fei had to use a shield that was a level 6 Rare Item that gave a 90+ defense, but he was pressed into the ground by Balesi's strikes.
Therefore, Fei had to use his trump card – Necromancer Mode.
When Balesi dashed into the pit with two wings formed by his Holy Power, Fei was already waiting for him. As soon as they battled each other, Fei used one of the curses which was [Terror].
[Terror] was similar to Barbarian's [Howl]. The skills could force powerful opponents to sense fear for a few seconds and lower their reaction speed.
When facing a Moon-Class Elite like Balesi, Fei's [Terror] couldn't make him sense fear. However, Balesi's reaction speed was lowered.
Then, Fei quickly cast two more curses – [Dim Vision] and [Lower Resist].
These two curses made Balesi have a hard time seeing his surroundings and lowered his defensive abilities.
As soon as Balesi was about to recover from [Terror], Fei quickly cast the curse [Confused].
[Confused] made Balesi cast random spells and lowered his reaction time as well.
Then, Fei used all of his dirty little tricks.
He utilized the fact that the skills in Diablo World didn't have cooldowns. Before his mana was depleted, he threw a series of curses at Balesi including [Amplify Damage], [Iron Maiden], [Life Tap], and [Weaken]. He used all of the curse skills he had learned.
The Necromancer's power was called [Death Energy] in Diablo World, and it was called [Undead Magic Power] on Azeroth Continent. In fact, Necromancer's [Undead Magic Power] was in the purest form, and it was a natural counter of [Holy Power]. Unless it was the Pope's [Godly Holy Power], even the golden Holy Power of [God's Favorite Children] couldn't be as pure as Necromancer's power.
With this counter-effect, Fei would be always at an advantage.
This was the reason why Fei could finally turn things around.
After Balesi sensed the series of curses, he finally knew who he was dealing with and understood what those chilling energies inside his body were. He screamed out of anger and fear as he sensed the dramatic drop in his condition.
This scream was the scream that Kaka and the others heard on the ground.
Using this opportunity, Fei chugged down a bottle of [Mana Potion] and summoned [Bone Armor] to start attacking.
He chose one of the Poisons and Bones Spells – [Bone Spear]. This spell had powerful penetration force and dealt a lot of damage. Balesi who was cursed and in a terrible condition was no longer on the level of Moon-Class Elite. In order to escape that pit, he was pierced through by six Bone Spears. However, he was finally able to use that impulse force from the Bone Spears and his own weak Holy power to fly out of the pit.
All that happened afterward were all seen by others.
Balesi who was in a terrible condition got pierced by a Bone Spear through his left chest, and he immediately fainted.
Fei was really lucky to win that fight.
If it wasn't for the natural counter [Death Energy], Fei won't win this easily against Balesi. If Fei had to face any other Moon-Class Elites who weren't from the Holy Church, he might only stand a chance if he used Barbarian Mode.
It was fortunate for Fei that Balesi's heart was exploded. Even if the gods showed mercy, he couldn't be saved.
Balesi's death meant that Fei's plan was accomplished.
Fei had calculated every step and used [Town Portal Scroll] to not be a suspect. No one in Zenit Empire had ever heard of items similar to [Town Portal Scroll]. Even if the bigger empires had similar items, they were hard to use; they couldn't be as stealth as [Town Portal Scroll]. With the 250 kilometers distance between Fei and the location of assassination, even a Moon-Class Elite had to fly for at least two hours using full strength. As long as Fei showed himself in front of everyone from all affiliated kingdoms, he couldn't be a suspect.
Of course, taking such huge risk wasn't in line with Fei's principle of "be quiet and get rich".
But to Fei, this risk was worth it, and he won't regret it.
If he was given the chance, he would still destroy Balesi's heart.
When that old priest asked Angela to join the Shrine Choir, Fei's heart skipped a beat. He felt like something more important than his own life was being stripped away from him, and that uncontrollable chilly murderous intent filled his mind instantly.
Fei didn't want to experience that feeling again.
After thinking back to the whole process and making sure that there weren't traces left behind or loopholes in his plan, he opened the curtain of the central tent and walked out with a big smile on his face. He wanted to enjoy the bright morning sunshine.
In the camp area, everyone saw the king of Chambord's appearance.
...
The deep and loud bugle sounded again in the center of the camp area.
Under the stare of 50,000 to 60,000 people, the top-7 masters appeared on the stage to draw a number that determined their opponents. The top-7 masters were [Sky Covering Fist] the King of Chambord, [Goddess of Archery] Elena, [One Sword], [Wind Thunder Stuff] Kanort, [Silver Armored Vicious Sword], [No.1 Goddess] Magic Princess Cindy, and that special [Lucky Prince] Shevchenko.
Everyone was quiet at this moment.
They all wanted to know which masters would be paired together.
As time passed by, names appeared on the magic crystal screen to the right of the stage.
[Sky Covering Fist] the king of Chambord VS [No.1 Goddess] Cindy.
[Goddess of Archery] Elena VS [Wind Thunder Staff] Kanort.
Most low-key [One Sword] VS Most arrogant [Silver Armored Vicious Sword].
[Lucky Prince] Shevchenko... still moved on to the next round without an opponent.
...
Loud tornado-like gasps and murmurs sounded in the audience. Except for expressing their excitement for the three battles of the day, they were also questioning the luck of that prince. Luck existed, that that good of a luck was too rare! Could it be that this Prince Shevchenko was the son of the Goddess of Destiny or the son of the God of War? He was the only one who didn't need to fight in the last three rounds to get into the top-4 list.
Even Fei was a little curious about this prince named Shevchenko.
