Chapter 1717: It's Time for Me to Drag on (Sixth Watch)
At this moment, Arthas's face finally changed color.
No one knows the skull better than he does. Of course, that thing can strengthen a normal soul's spiritual power countless times, but it is a power increase in exchange for endless pain and torture.
Naozu is just a cowardly guy at heart.
From his experience, he knew that in the face of Kil'Gardan's oppression, even if he signed the soul contract, he still did not have the courage to lead the orcs in the great war against the draenei, so that Gul'dan stole his power.
He withdrew his eggs.
When the tribe brazenly launched the first and second Dark Gate battles, he hid in his old home in Shadowmoon Valley as an otaku.
If it weren't for Draenor blowing up, he wouldn't have dared to provoke the Great Liang to lead the tribe to attack Azeroth again.
When he failed, all he could think of was to run away or run away.
However, why did such a man with no careerist talent at all dare to raise the banner of rebellion against such a powerful Burning Legion after Akmund knelt down, knowing that the Legion still had Kil'Gardan in charge?
It would have been completely inexplicable.
Only Arthas, who fused with the soul of Naozu, knew that it was actually Naozu who was tortured by the ice skeleton. That kind of pain and madness completely exceeded the limit of what a normal soul could bear.
In order to get rid of this pain that seemed to last forever, he did not hesitate to betray the Burning Legion.
In fact, when Arthas put on the mask of the Lich King and began to merge with the soul of Neozu, the first difficulty was not the difference in their souls, but the fact that Arthas had to coax a child to appease Neozu's uneasy heart, which had become extremely sensitive and restless due to his excessive injuries and torture.
Now, with a strong momentum, Arthas has unscrewed out Anastrian's head and replaced it with this ice skeleton, which has certainly raised this guy's strength to the demigod level.
The continuous horrific torture could indeed discourage Anastrian's will to resist.
It's just that it's too much!
Alsace's approach was destined to fail to gain loyalty, let alone a former king who was already arrogant and full of rebellion.
If you have betrayed the Scourge once, you can betray it a second time.
With the rapid elimination of the Scourge soldiers, the Lich King's power weakened. Now he is completely eating his old book, living on the power of the shadows accumulated in the Ice Throne. If they can't withstand this offensive and can't turn the powerful invaders led by Duke into immortals, the Scourge will end there.
He knew it, and so did Anastrian.
In such a situation, will this new demigod lich still serve the lich king with all his might?
Not necessarily!
Arthas narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
He knew very well that it was Duke who was giving him eye medicine and dividing the relationship between him and Anastrian.
Problem: This is a Yang Mou!
Knowing that Duke was shameless, he could only continue.
As soon as he raised his left hand, his five fingers quickly created a violent winter storm, and the [Cold and Severe Winter] swept straight towards Duke.
Obviously, the Lich King was furious, and the momentum of this storm, let alone people, even the largest flying battleship in the alliance could turn into ice lumps in an instant and fall down fiercely.
Duke follows his heart very well, well, 'from the heart' adds up to a 'coward'.
With a stomp of his right foot, an octagonal icy fortress rose from the ground. Duke seemed to be building it as easily as building an Eskimo's ice cube hut.
This bastard was still in the mood to invite Sylvanas, who was originally protecting the other two women, and pointed to his shoulder: "Come, your man is tired, give your man a shoulder beat." ”
If it was in the past, it would be strange if Queen Xi didn't flip the table on the spot.
This time, Sylvanas, who knew that she was wrong, was like an angry little daughter-in-law, glancing at Arthas in the distance, and finally moved a small step and 'beat someone's back' with the force of a battering ram.
"Stop, stop, stop, want to murder your husband?" said Duke, scolding as he waved Etiyesh and used more magic to stop Arthas's progress.
Arthas was in no mood to pay attention to Duke.
A powerful demigod who is at the same level as himself and wants to delay time is also difficult to clean up.
After all, he is not a pure legal system, and it is impossible to completely block Duke's teleportation. While Duke severed his connection with the Scourge one by one, he was also trying to find the magic channel of the Void Net, trying to find a way to cut it off.
This is a classic mutual injury.
Arthas was also anxious: "Anastrian, how long are you going to delay? Didn't you report to me that Alekstasa had already been trapped?"
"Sorry, my majesty...... I was ...... Ysera's ...... Dream Attack ...... Unstable ......"
The soul connection was rather unstable, and Arthas could clearly sense the condition of this disobedient and powerful subordinate.
It's generally good, but it's similar to his side.
It is also a wonderful state of gaining an advantage, but not being able to turn it into a victory.
The Sun King was beating Gianna and Kael'thas, but when he was snatching the net, he was strongly disturbed by the Lord of the Emerald Dream.
A genuine demigod who is good at psychic attacks, even if it is a ranged attack across space, it still can't be ignored.
The feeling of wading through the mud is terrible.
Even if he wanted to do his job, there was no reason why Anastrian couldn't do it.
Malygos's idiot is finished, and the Sun King is already the only strong man under his command who is hard to beat. The Sun King also really dragged several powerhouses on the coalition side for him, otherwise a top powerhouse like the Red Dragon Queen would follow him into the Icecrown Fortress, and he would have a great headache.
Duke clearly has more confidence in the heroes under his command.
Indeed, when Arthas spread his mind and focused his attention on the various leaders of the Icecrown Fortress, he saw several scenes that made him gnash his teeth.
The huge aberrant monster was unable to withstand the onslaught of the [Ash Bringer], and when Tirio patiently gathered the power of his holy light, and slashed the door-like sword at the monster that had broken his hand and turned around for the tenth time, the [rotten intestines] burst open.
Professor Ptraside created a flesh monster that could fight against the Light, but did not equip the monster with a hateful soul. If it were an evil spirit like Arthas, or the former Kel'thugad, they would be able to produce a steady stream of shadow power on their own to better fight Tirio.
Unfortunately, when the [Ash Bringer] slashed the rotten intestines to the point that they were missing arms and legs, the power of the rotten intestines also fell rapidly. In fact, by the time the sixth sword was slashed, the winner was already divided.
