Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Heart of Sargeras
"What are we going to do?" Hecarim circled around the altar and asked.
Karthhas pointed to the corpse of the minion of the Elder God, Naianzo, "We need to reuse the waste again. ”
He had Hecarim cut off all of Neanzo's tentacles and use them to form a special circle. When he was done, he pinched his chin in contemplation with his hand bones and added some more magical materials.
Karthas captures the imprisoned soul of Nyanzo in the Soul Stealing Scroll and orders it to do what he wants.
Naianzo's soul struggled frantically for a while, and was finally completely controlled. Karthas and Hekarim infuse the magic circle with energy. The tentacles of Neyanzo suddenly "came to life", and they writhed deep into the edge of the altar.
The tentacles reached for the sarcophagus beneath the altar, and the energy inside tempted them to frantically rush up. Their ends clinged to the sarcophagus like suction cups, sucking out the power of them like locusts. The huge energy is transmitted through the meridians on the tentacles to the magic circle, and then absorbed by the creatures of the two Shadow Isles.
Karthas tilted his head and opened his mouth with a completely intoxicated expression: "That's it, the power of divinity!" ”
Hecarim laughed as well, perfectly satisfied.
"My strength is recovering! It's already four! ”
If one could see the sarcophagus beneath the altar, it could see a mutilated body lying in the sarcophagus. The corpse had a large corroded hole in its chest, and the wound was not a blur or decaying flesh, but a bronze texture. The corpse was littered with rifts, and from the cracks erupted hatred and flames that turned into substance—the flames of hell that Sargeras had acquired after his fall, a polluting energy he called "evil energy."
However, as the tentacles were extracted, the flames of evil energy erupting from Sargeras's corpse became weaker and weaker, and it was conceivable that the remaining power in the corpse of the owner of the Burning Legion would definitely be sucked away.
On the Abyss off the Shattered Isle, Planck, Alista, and Fitz are watching the ritual in real time from the view of the Guò scouting guards.
"These two guys look even stronger." The bull head sighed when he saw the two guys in the picture who had become excited by absorbing the evil energy.
Planck swallowed, he felt a little dry in his throat, "Looks like I can't call that Karthus 'stinky bone' anymore." ”
Alista rubbed him on the shoulder and taunted, "Show your temper, pirate head, don't let me look down on you!" ”
Planck retorted, "Then do you dare to scream?" ”
Fitz fiddled with his seastone fork in boredom and rolled his eyes: "You guys are so boring! ”
While they were chatting, the ceremony was over. The Eye of Sargeras, which was suppressing the altar, ceased to function due to the loss of power in Sargeras's stump, falling from the air and rolling to the feet of Karthas.
The lich picked it up, looked closer, and stuffed it into his own space. Then he said to Hekarim: "Smash it open!" ”
The tentacles that had been frantically absorbing the energy of Sargeras's remnants lost the support of their magical powers, and turned into dead snakes and stopped moving. The centaur stepped forward, raised his long-handled halberd, and asked while violently dismantling it, "Why don't you do it yourself?" ”
Karthas asked rhetorically, "Are you asking me to use a staff to knock stones?" ”
Hekarim was speechless. However, in this ceremony, he regained more than half of his strength, which made him feel stronger than ever. So he didn't care about the lich's teasing.
He chopped through the stones on the altar, and with great force the magically shaped stones scattered like tofu, and dust and rubble flew everywhere throughout the chamber.
"How much strength have you recovered?"
"Half of it." Karthas replied with his trademark "click" laugh. It's been a long time since he's joined League of Legends to feel that he has such power. More than half of his strength at his peak was many times stronger than that of the newly summoned master! If he were allowed to meet Darkan now, he would have killed that elven mage with ease!
And almost at the same time, far away on the continent of Kalimdor, a woman gave birth to an induction. She looked in the direction of the Broken Island and said to herself, "The seal of Sargeras has been completely broken. ”
She is the reclusive Egger. The mother of the astral mage Maddie, the guardian of Tirisfa who killed Sagra.
After resurrecting her son a few months ago, she chose to live in complete seclusion. In fact, more than ten years ago, when Gul'dan went to the Broken Island to open the black iron door of her sealed tomb, she had a feeling. But that was when she was most disheartened, and she didn't want to recast the seal again.
And now that Egger had resurrected her son, she had nothing to worry about. As for the duty of the Guardian - to hell with it!
Iger stood up and walked to his cabin. In order to resurrect Maddie, she lost the magical power to maintain her youth, and now the traces of time are beginning to invade her body, wrinkles are gradually growing on her once beautiful and flawless face, and her skin is no longer smooth and firm, and even a little labor will make her feel powerless.
"Who would let such a 'guardian' do his job?" She smiled self-deprecatingly, made herself a cup of tea, and lay back in a rocking chair with her eyes closed.
Half of his strength was quickly dismantled, and the entire altar was completely split under his halberd, revealing the massive sarcophagus below. This sarcophagus is more than ten meters long, which is enough to make people realize that the person inside is a giant. Hecarim roared in anger and jumped up a few steps, kicking his front hooves against the lid of the sarcophagus. His tremendous force opened a crack in the sarcophagus, and Karthas cast a spell to remove it entirely.
Then they saw the broken body of Sargeras in the sarcophagus - the dark titan's body was shattered, and the rift no longer spewed evil energy. It looked like a tattered bronze statue, without the slightest majesty that a demon lord who had destroyed all worlds.
Hecarim flicked the bronze corpse with his halberd, but after losing the support of evil power, it became like dust, shattering into powder at the slightest touch.
Karthas blew into the sarcophagus, and a cloud of metal dust filled the air. The body of the Dark Titan was crushed and scattered. In the end, however, two things remained under the coffin - one was Sargeras's demonic horns, and the other was his heart.
"There seem to be some surprises." Hecarim teased. He bent down to pick up the pair of horns, and weighed them in his hand, which seemed to be quite heavy. Karthus, on the other hand, used magic to ingest Sargeras's heart and held it in his hands.
"It doesn't look like the heart that a creature should have. It bears some resemblance to the mechanical engine built by Victor. Karthas looked around and commented.
"Try to inject some energy?" Hekarim was built yì.
Karthas did what he said. After absorbing the evil energy in Sargeras's corpse, his power was restored to seventy percent. It doesn't hurt to give it a try.
As the mana entered the heart, the lich suddenly felt his consciousness plunge into complete darkness. A great force tugged at his soul to a twisted place.
"You have stolen my power, so surrender to me!" A figure appears in the void. He was massive, his skin was bronzed, and evil flames burned from the cracks in his eyes, mouth, hooves, tail, and all of his body.
Karthas recognized him at a glance: "Sargeras! ”
"Call me master!" Sargeras roared, "Accept my accusations and return me to Azeroth!" ”
The dark souls of the Lord of the Burning Legion unleash psychic powers, evoking the evil energy absorbed by Karthas. He is completely confident that almost no one in the universe can escape his grasp after absorbing his power.
Evil energy is not so easy to suck! To absorb it means to become a demon and to be controlled by him, the lord of demons!
- Unless the target's godhead is even more powerful than him!
However, this little demigod lich was obviously nowhere near that high. Sargeras saw that the target had ceased to resist.
Karthas did not resist, and his abilities were indeed not to the point of being able to confront the soul of Sargeras.
The Death Carol completely relaxed, allowing Sargeras to invade his body.
"If you are stronger than my master, then I will be happy to serve you!" The lich let out a "click" laugh. Karthas spoke very sincerely, and he himself knew very well that it was not a joke - he would submit to a stronger master.
Sargeras shouted, "No one in this universe is more powerful than me!" ”
Before the Fall, as the most powerful warrior in the Pantheon, he wielded the most powerful weapon in the universe, and no one could match him. After the Fall, he gained even greater power. He is qualified and confident enough to say such things.
"Then prove it!" Karthas did not resist. As long as Sargeras can break the contract between him and Kang Weihan, he will fulfill his promise.
Sargeras was pleased to see the lich's obedience. In the past, he forced his way into Azeroth, only to be planted by the Guardian Egger, even though he controlled her son through the soul of Guò and relied on Maddie's body to guide the orc invasion. But in terms of results, he still failed.
His soul was banished to the Void, and his soul was sealed in the Broken Isle - the remnants of which were absorbed by the lich and another centaur ghost.
It also contains some of his divine power. Even though it was little, he would not allow his godhead to be compromised.
Sargeras uses all his strength to drive his psychic powers, causing evil energy to resonate. But he could still feel that the lich's soul was not under his control. In the midst of the darkness, an even more powerful pact is at work, binding the lich's soul.
Could it be that the master of this lich is his pedantic brother, the king of the gods, Al-Mansur?
"No, it can't be!"
How could Almansur make a pact with a lich!
Sargeras frantically drives his soul power and uses all his strength to destroy the contract. Even if it was Almansur's contract, it couldn't stop him from doing it with all his might!
Karthas could feel exactly what was happening in his body. He let out an exclamation, like regret, like relief:
"It seems that you are still a little worse than my master. It's a shame......"
The lich laughed again, but the laughter was not meant by the usual joy, but by mockery!
Yes, he's taunting this demon lord of the Burning Legion!
