Chapter 106: Strength and Faith
Su Chen naturally understood what it meant to be 'unable to use the Holy Light anymore'.
In layman's terms, it is...... Depraved!
Just like in the history of Warcraft, Arthas became a death knight......
However, if you succeed in reopening the Sunwell, you will have endless energy, which is equivalent to having endless power!
This is far stronger than the power of the Holy Light that he currently has.
Gaining great power is something I have always longed for, and it is estimated that there is no one in the world who does not want to obtain great power.
However, losing the favor of the Light is likely to be a matter of great trouble for one's identity, as rumors of Arthas's fall have long since spread throughout Azeroth, and rumors of his father-killing butcher are still circulating among most of the refugees.
Once he can no longer use the Light, it is likely that even Mograini and the others will begin to doubt him again.
"You can rest assured, I have already analyzed a lot of the rules of divine power, and when the time comes, as long as you have enough energy, even if you have fallen into a demon, I will be able to let you use the skills of the paladin, and even the skills of the high-level paladins such as the Holy Storm and the Execution Trial." Zhinao Xiaohei obviously knew what he was worried about, and almost patted his chest to make reassurances.
Su Chen had seen the powerful power of the Zhi Brain when he opened the advanced permissions, but he didn't doubt it much.
However, he didn't dare to fully believe these assurances of Zhi Brain, in case it was like that 'stealth' again, and all the defective copycat paladin skills he came up with, it would be too cheating.
"It's a waste if these shadow crystals are destroyed like this, we can completely sell these crystals, this thing is much more valuable than ordinary magic gems." Katrana was also staring at the shadow crystals at the moment, with a strange glint in her eyes.
Since Su Chen had already guessed her identity, he naturally wouldn't think that she would be able to take this bit of magic energy, with her identity as a black dragon, the magic power consumed by taking a few deep breaths was estimated to exceed all the crystals here.
"Does she really want to sell these Shadow Crystals? This black dragon sister wouldn't have come to be an adventurer because she was short of money, right......" Su Chen's mind suddenly had a thought that he couldn't believe.
Legend has it that dragons love glittering gold coins and treasures, and even like to sleep on piles of gold coins, but in World of Warcraft, there is no trace of the treasure in either the Black Dragon Princess's lair or her brother Nefarian's base in Blackstone Mountain.
"Leave these Shadow Crystals behind, and we'll go and destroy the other Crystal Towers and the slaughterhouse where the meat grinder was made." Su Chen waved his hand hesitantly.
He was still a little hesitant about Zhi Brain's proposal, even if he could use Zhi Brain to simulate the power of holy light at that time, but in fact, he could be said to have given up the belief of a paladin.
Su Chen couldn't help but inexplicably think of the tragic male demon hunter Illidan who was still far away on the other side of the Endless Sea at this moment.
In order to gain power, he also renounced his belief in druids, and even gave up his identity as a Night Elf.
As a result, Illidan did gain great power, but he lost even more.
Even if his prediction that the Burning Legion would return was correct, and the way he borrowed the power of demons against demons was just as correct, he still couldn't gain a foothold among the Night Elves, or even Azeroth.
The most important reason for this is that Illidan does not know how to use political means and does not know how to be flexible, or rather, he is young and vigorous, and his thinking is still too naïve and simple, thinking that strength can solve all problems, but he ends up hitting his head and bleeding and has to flee to a foreign land.
Now that he has finally changed the fate of Alsace, he naturally can't follow the old path of Illidan anymore.
"While gaining power, you must not let your reputation and status suffer, even if it is despicable and dark......" Su Chen thought secretly, even if he decided to use these shadow crystals, he could only use them quietly when no one was around.
The battle in Stratholme continued, but with the destruction of the three massive towers, the resistance in the city was almost wiped out.
Since Rivendell had died near the Chapel of Light's Wish, Stratholme's most important slaughterhouse, only a few of the newly created abominations caused some minor trouble, but they were quickly resolved by a group of Death Knights and Elven Rangers.
Speaking of which, the cooperation of these two forces is quite tacit, especially in the absence of priests, these death knights are definitely the best meat shields.
"Your Highness, we have reclaimed Stratholme!" After burning a large number of meat grinders, Bridget Abidis was extremely excited to report to Su Chen's side, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but cheer.
"No...... We may have lost the city altogether, and we'll leave once we've destroyed the base of the Scourge of the Dead. Su Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, for this city full of plagues and undead, even if he occupied it, it would be useless.
What's more, this is just a surprise attack to take advantage of the emptiness behind the Undead Scourge, and once the main force of the Undead Scourge returns, it will definitely be able to retake Stratholme.
If the Undead Plague summoned Akmund, he would have to flee as far as he could.
"Did we finally take this place, and then give it up in vain to those undead?" Bridget's face suddenly darkened, and she naturally understood that she could not occupy Stratholme for a long time with her current strength, but she retreated as soon as she tried her best to take it, which was somewhat unwilling for the bloody warriors.
"We don't have the strength to guard and purify this place, the only estimate that we can do is to burn this ......place completely," Su Chen sighed slightly.
Once the Undead Scourge regains its possession, it is likely that the undead killed today will be resurrected again, and only by burning the corpses to ashes can they prevent them from resurrecting.
However, the thought of burning Stratholme again, Su Chen felt extremely painful in his heart.
He had ordered the slaughter and burning of the city, and now it looked like it was going to be done again.
"Your Highness, we have found the Alonso Cathedral in the city, which seems to be protected by the Holy Light, and has not been damaged by the Scourge of the Dead." Uther came to his side at some point and whispered.
"Alonso Cathedral......" Su Chen couldn't help but close his eyes slightly when he heard this, it should be the place of origin of the paladin, and it is estimated that it is also the only surviving place in Stratholme City.
"I'll go to the church and have a look." Su Chen gently held the ankh he had been wearing by his side, and for some reason he suddenly remembered the priest named Vivian, who should be from this Alonso Cathedral.
