Chapter 196: Song of Betrayal: Corrupted Soul
The mighty Atama Crystal was once a gift from Naru to the ancient Eredas, and has been enshrined in the Temple of Karabo as the most sacred treasure of the Eredas. When Viren fled Argus with it, it split into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple pieces.
Each of the seven crystals has different abilities, such as the Red Crystal Heart of Wrath can greatly increase the combat effectiveness and morale of the entire unit, the Yellow Crystal Bright Star can enhance the caster's casting focus, and the Green Crystal Leaf Shadow can distort the path of light and hide the entire city.
Nearly twenty years ago, for unknown reasons, the Purple Crystal Soul Song was scattered across the land of the Eastern Kingdom, and it happened to meet Lord Terenus Minahir, who was fighting in all directions in order to unify the Arathor Empire. In this way, Terenus stumbled upon the Soul Song, one of the Atamar Crystal Shards, and kept it on his body all the time.
Twenty years passed until the Arathor Empire split and Tyrenus established the great Lordaeron dynasty, and the Song of the Soul was rediscovered, which Tyrenus enshrined as a national artifact, shelved it and renamed it after a new kingdom.
This is where the Heart of Lordaeron comes from.
This piece of soul song split from the powerful atamar crystal has the power to resist all magical attacks, and at the same time, it contains infinite spiritual power, this vast spiritual power is extremely friendly with the holy light, or the shadow, or even the power of the necromancy.
And when Xue Huan tried to inject his power back into it, this crystal underwent a huge change, the original pure purple was gradually cannibalized and covered, and began to gradually transform into a dark purple symbolizing death, and the light it emitted was no longer brilliant and gorgeous, but deep and dim, full of depression.
Princess Galya, who was the first to react from this chaos, covered the dazzling glare with her plain white hands, and said in a voice that was almost a roar: "What are you doing, why don't you stop him quickly!
With the princess's order, several knights of the inner court immediately responded, leaving four warriors to protect Galya, and the rest of them held the halberd in their hands, and rushed towards Xue Huan, who was corrupting Lordaeron's heart.
But how could Xue Huan, who had all his strength returned, be afraid of these knights in the inner court?
I saw that his eyes froze, and there were dark energies circulating in his left hand, and in less than a moment, several Chaos Arrows shot out, spinning and flying towards the few Inner Court knights who pounced.
The reason why the knight of the inner court was pinned on by Terenus and was trained from an early age at the expense of the state naturally has his advantages. In the face of the oncoming Chaos Arrows, the few knights of the inner court who rushed forward did not dodge, but rose to the challenge.
They gave up the halberd in their hands and drew the swords at their waists instead, and after a burst of drinking, the bodies of several knights of the inner court suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and when the chaotic arrows wrapped in evil flames collided with the golden light, it was like encountering the solid ice of the sun, and was instantly dissolved into nothingness.
Holy Light!?
Xue Huan, who was corroding the Song of Fusion Souls, frowned unconsciously when he saw this scene.
Even an ordinary warrior could control the Holy Light so skillfully, and these knights of the Inner Court, who had spent a lot of effort on Tyrenus, were indeed not to be underestimated.
But fortunately, his goal was almost achieved, he glanced at the soul song that was about to be eroded by the dark power, when the energy in this holy weapon was completely extracted by himself, and after he controlled it, his strength would be even higher, not to mention these knights of the inner court, even if Arthas and Farrar joined forces, they would not be able to defeat him.
"Die!!"
"Master beware!!"
The rough shouts and Kel'thugad's warning sound sounded at the same time, and before Xue Huan could react, a dazzling golden light had suddenly illuminated his face.
With the successful fusion imminent, Xue Huan did not spare extra time to resist the impact of this holy light, but instead stared at the heart of Lordaeron in his hand with all his attention.
The sharp sword of Lordaeron pierced through the black mist surrounding Xue Huan with a dazzling golden brilliance, and fiercely tore a red blood mark on his left shoulder.
"Hiss!!!"
The sharp pain made Xue Huan gasp, in order to corrode Luo Danlun's heart, he didn't make any defensive moves, and just took this blow hard.
In fact, although Xue Huan was called a Death Knight, he was different from ordinary undead and was a real living person, but when his body full of necromantic power encountered a strong holy light, the damage was almost doubled, almost making him faint on the spot.
Black blood flowed down his skin, Xue Huan gritted his teeth, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his whole body spasmed, and the heart of Lordanlun, which was almost corroded with only a little left in his hand, almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that the Inner Court Knight's second attack filled with the power of holy light was close at hand, at this critical moment, Xue Huan injected the last bit of necromantic power into Lordaeron's heart.
Then, there was a sudden change!!
With a terrifying scream of ghosts, like a female ghost, a frenzied energy rush frantically surged out of Lordaeron's heart. The knights of the Inner Court who were organizing the next offensive nearby obviously did not expect this variable, and they couldn't withstand the impact of this violent dark energy, and their bodies retreated more than a dozen steps in a row, widening the distance between them and Xue Huan.
"Hahaha, it seems that the fusion has been successful, so, now let you see the real dark power!!"
Xue Huan's pupils contracted in the center of the violently rotating energy, ignoring the black blood faintly flowing from his shoulders, he was frantically plundering the heart of Lordaeron, which had been completely corroded into dark energy, while on the other side, he stretched out his spare space, and a wave of black-purple energy suddenly appeared, winding like a poisonous snake towards several nearby knights of the inner court.
"Death Grip!!"
The attack of this dark force was so swift that it choked the neck of one of the court knights like a poisonous snake, and then quickly spread to the vicinity, forcibly lifting the three court knights.
"Die!!"
With a loud shout, Xue Huan's left hand clenched into a fist hard, and the few dark energies that bound the knights of the inner court shrank suddenly like pets hearing their master's orders. The powerful dark force made the knights of the inner court have no power to resist, and can only watch their bodies being cut off by their waists.
Burst!!
With a mist of blood rising, three fresh corpses, cut in two, fell to the cold ground.
This scene stunned everyone, and in the storm, Galya bit her bloodless lip tightly, and in the face of the power beyond the scheme, she was just a woman.
Renaud Mograini's eyes almost popped out, no one knew this mysterious soldier, and no one thought that the opponent's strength was so strong that even the knights of the inner court could not do anything together. You must know that the lowest strength of these court knights is also a mid-level knight, and such a lineup was easily defeated by the "soldier" in front of him.
"Hmph, I've endured it long enough!"
Xue Huan let out a cold snort from his nose, the frost grief without his hand made the power he used a little incomplete, but it was enough to deal with these ants in front of him.
Moreover...
Among these ants are his followers.
He put the tarnished soul song in his arms, smiled, and shouted at Reynaud Mograini, who was behind Galia, "Renault, what are you waiting for, it's time to show your loyalty to His Majesty the Lich King!!"
This shout made Galya's heart startled, as if she understood something, she subconsciously turned around, but suddenly found that the four knights of the inner court who protected her had fallen in a pool of blood, and Renaud Mograini, who was in charge of this escort mission, had blood-red eyes and was looking at herself with a hideous face, and the sword in his hand was dripping with blood from time to time.
