Hail the King Vol.1 - Edited Version

Chapter 3: Don't ever do that

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Angela screamed. As the flames grew in Gill's hand, she frantically looked for ways to stop him. However, it was useless.

"Shit!" Fei couldnt do anything else but try to block it with the helmet he held in his hand.

"Boom!" The fireball violently collided with the helmet, producing a burst of sparks and smoke. The helmet turned crimson and splattered as it melted.

"Ssii..." Fei could smell burned flesh.

He flung the melting metal helmet on the ground. Although he acted as fast as he could, the first layer of skin of his palm had burned off already.

The fireball ran out of energy, flickering, and finally extinguished.

However, Fei didn't have time to relax as he immediately saw another fireball forming above Gill's hand.

Judging from Gill's sweaty face, he was concentrating extremely hard to kill Fei with this one.

This time, Fei had nothing to block it with.

"This is not fair!" Fei yelled. "I challenge you to a wrestling match! Didn't your parents teach you that kids playing with fire will pee their pants!?"

[What?] Angela and Emma were shocked speechless. [Since when was there such as saying?]

[Looks like Alexander is still an idiot.] Both of them sighed, disappointed.

What they didn't notice was that Fei had slowly moved to the other side of the bed and grabbed the armour hanging on the wall. He hid it behind his back as he slowly inched his way towards Gill.

[Just wait! Once you get in my reach, I will teach you a lesson!] Fei calculated the distance between them and was prepared to use any sneaky and dirty tactic to fight Gill.

But —

"Pee your own damn pants!"

Gill was enraged, and he was not going to hold back his wrath of a Prestigious mage. He made up his mind to punish the retard king for what he did.

"Hu—"

The second fireball raced towards Fei.

Angela reacted quickly. Although she was so terrified her face turned white, she chose to save Fei by blocking the fireball with her body.

Seeing Angela suddenly materialise in front of Fei, Gill panicked and attempted to retrieve his fireball. However, it was already too late.

Fei responded immediately. Without thinking, he grabbed Angelas shoulder and pressed her against his chest as he spun around. The heat spread across his back, scorching hot.

"Shit! I'm going to die!!!"

At that very moment,

"Pu– !"

A big hand appeared out of nowhere and caught the fireball. The hand gave the fireball a light squeeze, indifferent to the boiling heat radiating off of it. Fei stared with wide eyes as the fireball that could melt a metal helmet collapsed like an ice cream during a warm summer day.

Hope was restored to Fei as he released Angela.

[A master!] He gushed.

At the same time, Gill's unseemly face froze. He gawked at the man who appeared in the palace, and his face turned paler than snow as his body started to shake uncontrollably.

Like a mouse catching sight of a cat, Gill was so scared he could only stutter. "Sir. Lam–Lam–Lampard, Why–y–y are you here? I–I–I–"

Gill started sweating like crazy as he tried to explain himself.
