According to the plot, Tristram had already been destroyed by the awaken Diablo, and it turned into a paradise for monsters and demons. The great paladin Griswald had also fallen here and turned into a powerful demon; he was the boss in Tristram. If Fei wanted to rescue Cain successfully, it was going to take some effort. Fei was confident that he could sweep out all the monsters at Tristram by taking it slowly. He had about 20 【Minor Healing Potions】 in his 【Item Slot】. They were enough to support Fei and Elena in the upcoming battle.
However, if the situation became dangerous, he might not be able to protect Elena. If this magic archer was surrounded by monsters, she would surely be torn into pieces. That’s why Fei reminded Elena about her safety so many times.
After Fei said that, he stepped into the portal and disappeared from 【Stoney Field】.
Elena’s heart warmed. Although there was nothing special about what Fei said, she felt his care – care directed at someone close.
“He is the one that deserves my effort and sacrifice.”
She pondered for a little while, and then a resolute expression appeared on her face, as if she had made some sort of decision. She then quickly stepped into the portal.

At Chambord.
The sun was about to rise to the center of the sky.
The mysterious, black armoured enemies still didn’t move. The sea of enemies occupied the bridge on Zuli River. Like a huge black snake hissing with its scarlet forked tongue, they were waiting for the best moment to strike.
The pressure on the defensive wall was constantly increasing. There was no noise on the wall aside from the flow of the river. Everyone tensed up.
The soldiers and young adults were sweating like crazy. Their previously hyped morale had died down to a dangerous level after a few hours of waiting. Although Brook had the soldiers rotate every twenty minutes, the pressure was torturing and tiring everyone out.
The enemies had no sign of sieging. The constant silence was like an invisible knife stabbing at the soldiers’ mental state, slowly cutting away their morale and bravery.
Brook’s heart began sinking as time gradually passed. Pierce carried the [King’s Sword] and walked back and forth anxiously in front of the watchtower. Everyone was looking through the broken wall of the watchtower. Their eyes focused on the young man who was ‘meditating’.
It was King Alexander who had miraculously recovered. If someone said that there was still hope for Chambord at this tragic moment, then that hope would definitely come from the king.
Even the number one warrior in Chambord Lampard couldn’t provide everyone the sense of security they needed, but somehow, the previously retarded king had comforted their hearts which were filled with fear.

……
Back at Tristram.
Right after Fei stepped out of the portal, a bunch of 【Skeletons】 surrounded him with their blades and started hacking at him.
“Damn, there’s this many? And they’re this aggressive?”
Fei swore in his mind, then quickly swung his axe. He struck horizontally and ‘Boom!’, the three closest 【Skeletons】 were smashed into bone fragments.
The real challenge had yet to come. The rest of the 【Skeletons】 flooded towards them. Behind the 【Skeletons】 were the 【Zombies】 that moved at a slower pace, and the 【Fallen Shermans】 that had a lot of armour. The monsters and demons in Tristram were mutated, and their damage and defense increased exponentially.
However, Fei was very strong. Everywhere his axe moved, monsters screamed and died brutally, but his attack speed was still not fast enough. He was wounded in between his attacks and his health was quickly dropping. It scared the crap out of Fei; he used warcry – 【Howl】 to scare away the monsters near him and give him the chance to chug some 【Health Potions】.
