The fighting on the first floor of Karazan did not last long, and it was far from the three minutes that Sarean had predicted.

About a minute and thirty seconds later, Khadgar, who had not had time to make a move, witnessed the end of the battle with his own eyes.

Riding a war horse to the left and right, Artumen was finally caught by Sarian to break through the law, and waited for the rabbit to appear in front of Atumen's charging route.

"Uhh

There was no suspense in the confrontation between the two-handed knight's sword and the black and white staff, and Atumen, who was still rushing at high speed, was forcibly knocked off his horse by Sarjan and fell to the ground screaming.

"Wow!"

Midnight let out a hoarse cry of rage, and continued to accelerate towards what seemed to be the old Sarian after swinging the spear.

Just as Khadgar was about to help, Sarren stretched out his left hand, which had been unable to help, and held the head of Midnight's horse steadily.

"Shhh

After a short period of inconspicuous friction, he was forced to stop by a ruthless big hand in the middle of the night when he was still sprinting at full speed.

As Sarean's left hand continued to exert the force, Midnight was pushed to the ground without a struggle, unable to break free from the enemy's grasp, no matter how hard it struggled.

He was thrown off his horse during the sprint, and the impact on Atumen when he landed was not small, and it took him a while to stagger to his feet.

By this time, Midnight had been completely subdued, and the horse's body was surrounded by a circle of grayish-white restriction spells, and it was fixed in place, unable to move.

Saljan moved his slightly sore left hand and asked Khadgar, "What to do with this guy?" Direct excess? Or will he awaken his will and stay for later? ”

"Huh?"

Khadgar didn't expect the battle to end so quickly, and was a little stunned, and it took a second for him to come back to his senses to answer Sarren's question.

"Can it still awaken his will? Of course, it would be better to leave Artumen to help. ”

"Okay, I'll try."

Turning the Balance Staff back into the form of a bracelet, Khadgar's eyes flickered, and the next moment he saw Sarren appear in front of Atumen, who still wanted to fight.

"Bell!"

A punch slammed into Atumen's helmet, and with Sarren's deliberate control of the force, Atumen did not die on the spot like Eretin, but fell backwards and fell to the ground unsteadily.

After forcibly removing Atumen's helmet, revealing a blue-gray undead face, Sarjan pinched his forehead with his right hand and injected his own death power into Atumen's body.

"Ahh

Outside forces forcibly invaded Atumen's soul, and of course the process would not be pleasant, and Atumen, who could not resist, raised his head to the sky and let out a terrible scream.

Saljan ignored the movement of Artumen, who had found the foreign object in Artumen's soul.

"Psychic suggestion? The effect is so long-lasting. ”

As he set out to clear the spell that Medivan had left in Atumen's mind, Sarjan glanced at Atumen, who was gradually regaining his composure.

"It's not just the effect of the spell, this guy's loyalty to Medivan greatly amplifies the effect of the spell."

"But...... Dreams are just dreams after all, there will always be a waking day, let's face reality again, faithful hunter Atumen. ”

"Hmm!"

With one last muffled grunt, Sarjan let go of his right hand pinching his forehead and took two steps back to take in the situation.

A trip to the Shadow Realm has deepened Sarayan's understanding of the power of death, and his grip on undead creatures has grown.

Although it is not yet possible to manipulate the soul remotely like Nao Zu with the Helm of Domination, as long as it is directly touched by his death power, the undead creatures whose power level is weaker than Sarean will be easily manipulated by him, and can even transform the soul of the opponent to a certain extent.

The situation of Artumun was not complicated, and he, like the vast majority of earthbound spirits in and around Karazhan, had been subjected to Medivan long before his death...... Or rather, Sargeras's psychic implication spell influence.

After the battle of the Guardians between Medivan and Egwen, Karazan was actually in chaos, and it was Medivan who used spells to continue to maintain the same singing and dancing scene in the tower.

The nobles and servants who had been forcibly left behind by the spiritual suggestion died in Karazhan's energy explosion.

Except for a very few powerful individuals, most of the people's bodies were annihilated in the explosion, and they could only continue to wander back in and out of Karazan in their soul form.

Among the few people who were able to survive in their undead form were the hunter Atumen and the butler Morros.

Although Atusman's strength is not as good as Sarren's, he also has a level 50 as a legendary goalkeeper.

Medivan's psychic suggestion spells did not affect him as much as the lowly nobles and servants.

The reason why he has not been able to get rid of the control so far is only because his heart is willing to accept this mental control from the master.

Through Artusen's loyalty, it can also be seen from the side that Medivan's personality charm before he was deeply influenced by Sargeras.

But as Sarian said, dreams do wake up eventually.

After Sarjan set out to clean up the influence of the spells in Atumen's soul, Atumen, who had been in a fog for more than a decade, finally regained his will.

"I ......" Atumen's eyes clearly showed a blank look: "Already dead?" ”

"What about the master? What about Butler Moros? What really happened to Karazhan? Why ......"

When Athimen's gaze shifted to Khadgar, his expression visibly stunned.

This familiar and unfamiliar face...... Are you Khadgar? Why are you so old? How many years have passed since I died? ”

As the saying goes, hitting someone doesn't slap you in the face.

Although Khadgar has always shown that he doesn't care much, turning into an old man at a young age is really a big blow to him.

"Uh~"

The corners of Khadgar's mouth twitched, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Atumen, long time no see." ”

"There is another reason for my change in appearance, you died in the Dark Gate for 3 years, only 13 years ago."

……

Khadgar lived in Karazanta for a long time and learned from Medivan, and it was only natural that he became acquainted with his followers, including Attumen and Moros.

Sarean didn't bother Khadgar and Attumen to catch up.

As Khadgar explains the upheaval that had taken place 13 years ago to a dazed-looking Atumen, Sarean stepped aside alone to take control of Midnight.

As Sarean had guessed, Medivin wasn't idle enough to give a mental hint to a horse.

After breaking free from control, Midnight vigilantly moved away from Sarren, and cautiously returned to his master, Artumen, and did not attack again.

Knowing that Medivan's soul had long been affected by the Demon King Sargeras, Atumen's expression was very complicated.

"No wonder the owner behaved very strangely in the last period before I lost consciousness, it turned out to be ......"

"Hey~"

With a long sigh, Atumen put aside the sadness in his heart for a while.

"Khadgar, you are the only legitimate heir of Karazhan, and I will remain loyal to Karazan's master as always, and do everything in my power to help you reclaim this Guardian Tower."

"But ......"

Perhaps instinctively remembering the previous experience of being beaten by Sarjan, Artumen glanced at Sarjan, who was standing aside with his hands on his chest: "Can you ask this friend of yours to do another favor?" ”

Khadgar raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tell me, he's on time, and I can't guarantee him." ”

Atumen scratched his undead thinning hair and said, "If we want to retake Karazan, we can't do without the help of our steward Moros, if we ......"

Aimun's words weren't finished, but they were enough for Sarren to understand what he meant.

"Hmmm......"

Sarean frowned and thought about it for a moment, "I just received the latest information from Keldaron, the long-awaited reinforcements of Neozu have arrived, and the Scourge is about to launch a full-scale attack on the defensive line guarded by the Knights of the Silver Hand. ”

"As Khadgar said, I don't have much time to stay."

"If Khadgar can promise to teleport me directly to the vicinity of Dalaran, I can stay and help you one last hand, and then you'll have to rely on your own strength."

The ball was tossed back into Khadgar's hand, and the "old" mage rubbed his brow in anguish.

"Teleportation across most of the Eastern Kingdoms...... I'm afraid it's hard to do it on my own. ”

"Give me a moment, I'll rummage through the artifacts we seized earlier, maybe something will be rewarding."

Salian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll give you another five minutes, but if I can't, I'll have to wait until next time." ”
