Chapter Twenty-Nine: Awakening
Uther's power is definitely at the top of normal humans.
Even after his death, his body was still incomparably strong, and the war hammer in his hand still attacked Su Chen with a fierce wind after smashing Su Chen's long sword.
"Exorcism!"
The broken sword turned into a cloud of dazzling golden light in Su Chen's roar, and it slammed into Uther's body as if it were substance.
The exorcism was the power of pure light, and it finally had an effect on Uther, causing him to take a few steps back.
However, due to the fact that the exorcism technique consumed too much holy light power, the divine light revealed by Su Chen's body immediately dimmed.
The power of the Light, while powerful, is clearly not endless.
Su Chen gasped and quickly retreated to Iluxia's side.
With Uther's strength, its presence here will definitely not be just an accident.
The man posing as Arthas probably expected him to come to Andorhar to find Uther, so he deliberately left Uther, who had become an undead, to stay.
"He's too strong, can your sword affect him?" Illucia also said nervously, a lot of magic is half the work for the undead, and Uther's magical defense seems to be terrifying.
Su Chen's heart couldn't help but move when he heard this, and he didn't care about any negative effects, and hurriedly relieved the frost grief behind him.
Perhaps sensing the surrounding battle environment, as soon as the hideous long sword was held in his hand, it immediately burst out with black light, which looked as if it was burning with black flames.
Su Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while, what he wanted at the moment was not a powerful lethality, but the ability to control the undead.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Uther immediately swung his hammer and rushed over, apparently that the deterrent power of Frostmourn against the undead could not affect him.
"His strength is too much better than yours, and he must use all his strength to activate the power of this sword." Zhi Brain quietly reminded in his mind.
"Full excitation? How to do it? It won't be weak for a long time, right......" The corners of Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, if he wanted to obtain the full power of this frost sorrow, it was estimated that he could only become a death knight like Arthas in the game.
Or...... It's up to the brain to use it forcibly like last time!
However, Su Chen really didn't want to experience that weakness and hunger again, and he felt sick to his stomach when he thought of the last time he gnawed raw meat in Northrend.
"Not this time, it's just a simulation of some dark rules, it's enough to open the first-level permissions, at most it's a day of weakness." Zhi Brain is very sure of it.
"Okay, I hope it can be effective......" Su Chen silently agreed with Zhi Brain.
The next moment, he immediately felt the power in his body change, and the power of holy light that had originally filled his body disappeared in an instant like flowing water, replaced by a rich dark power, and the black aura that seemed to be like substance almost completely enveloped him in an instant.
At this moment, Su Chen, who was exuding the aura of darkness and death, was like a real death knight!
"It's now, wake up!"
The frost sorrow was heavily plunged into the ground under Su Chen's feet, and the green runes on the sword body began to slowly light up one by one, and a piercing chill spread around......
Uther, who had already rushed in front of him, stopped abruptly, and the hammer raised in the air fell silently.
There was a dead silence all around, except for the sound of the wind blowing from Lake Mirondal.
"Alsace...... Is that you? After a long time, Uther's mouth came with a hoarse voice, and a silver glow began to light up in his otherwise cloudy eyes.
"It's me, my teacher......" Su Chen didn't expect Uther in this state to recognize himself so quickly.
Hearing him call out the name Arthas, his heart warmed, and he suddenly couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, and his voice couldn't help but choke a little.
Illucia next to her was also shocked, and the beautiful blue eyes that looked at Su Chen were full of incredulity, and at the same time, there was a little fear.
"I knew that Your Highness would not fall...... It's a pity that I couldn't protect Lordaeron for you, or even your father's ashes. Uther leaned his hammer in his hand and bowed his head, his gray, messy hair obscuring his pale countenance, as if he had regained his memories of life.
"Teacher, it's not your fault, the power of those demons is too strong......," Su Chen sighed, he naturally knew that Uther had died protecting the ashes of the old king.
Although Uther's strength is strong, he is a normal human after all, and there is still a gap between him and powerful beings such as the Lich King and the Dreadlord.
"Well, it seems that we did underestimate the Cursed Church at the beginning, and we didn't expect that there would be strong demonic support behind it, maybe I should have led the Silver Hand to the north with you to fight those demons."
Su Chen could only sigh secretly in his heart, if Alsace's action could be fully supported by Uther, maybe the fate would be completely different in the future.
"Teacher, what about the rest of the Knights?" Su Chen suddenly asked with some concern, the Knights of the Silver Hand fought against the undead in Andohar, and now Uther, as the leader, has been resurrected as an undead, and the other paladins don't know what the outcome will be.
If all of them were resurrected as undead after the battle, wouldn't the Lich King have an extra army similar to the Death Knights!
"They...... It's all the same as I am now. Uther's voice was low and hoarse, but then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes that had been filled with silver light stared at Su Chen, and he said eagerly, "What did you use to wake me up just now?" Can others be saved in the same way? ”
"It's the power of this sword, and it's from the same place as those demons." Su Chen replied with some hesitation, and at the same time, he was also a little surprised that he didn't seem to fall into extreme hunger immediately this time.
"That's not right...... There's something that's giving me energy! Su Chen's brows jumped, he was too excited to see Uther resuscitate just now, and he didn't notice a cool feeling coming from his chest.
That position should be the ankh given to him by the young priest Vivian, presumably the power of the holy light contained in the ankh is automatically releasing the recovery technique for himself, although the power it provides is weak, but at this moment, it is definitely a relief for Su Chen, who is in a weak state.
"This sword is full of evil power...... How did you get it? ”
"I got it on the northern continent of Northrend, and those demons wanted to use this sword to tempt me, but I held on to my faith." Su Chen took the opportunity to brag about himself.
"Well, His Royal Highness's faith is stronger than I expected, maybe we can use this sword to save the other knights." Uther nodded appreciatively.
"This ...... Don't know where the others are? Su Chen was a little hesitant about this, after all, to fully activate the power of this frost sorrow, he needed the assistance of the brain, which would make him in a weak state, if he was weak every time he saved someone, then he would have to be exhausted to death.
"They were all taken by those demons to Keldaron, which is the base of the Church of the Damned, and we need to get them out of here, and we must not let our brothers become the murderous tools of those demons."
"Keldaron......" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless, wasn't that the goal of his trip.
