Menethil's Power

Chapter 454 The Calamity of Death

Facing this archmage who was no different from an ordinary old man, Jaina suddenly hesitated.

Her frozen heart suddenly throbbed.

From the day she entered Dalaran, she has always had a good impression of this old mage, thinking that he is a respectable elder, and in the Dalaran trial that year, it was this old mage who resisted all opinions, Judging Gianna not guilty, he is a good man, in all sense and reason.

What's more, without mana, Antonidas is basically an old man with no power to restrain a chicken, maybe it doesn't need to take his life?
"Kill him." However, the cold voice next to his ear still lacked the slightest warmth.

"Why?" Jaina frowned, questioning the voice.

However, the other party did not have the patience to respond to her. An extreme coldness suddenly invaded her entire soul, and Jaina lost all perception and thinking abilities in an instant. When her consciousness returned, she found that Antonidas had fallen Nope, a gurgling sound came from the old mage's throat, but he couldn't speak a word.

Frostmourne pierced his heart.

Jaina's breathing is a little short, this is not the first time, whenever she has some thoughts of her own, the Lich King will forcefully exercise her mind control, and at the same time further deepen the brainwashing, making her think that she is doing something of her own will. all decisions.

But every once in a while, Jaina will hesitate about this, and then there will be a new round of brainwashing, but in the long run, Jaina's freedom from control can basically be said to be inevitable.

Jaina had some headaches, she felt a call deep in her heart, calling her to reflect on her behavior, to regain kindness and justice, but she just wanted to respond carefully, but this call was quickly overwhelmed by the tide of cold and Overwhelmed by cruelty.

Her heart was once again wrapped in hard ice.

The three archmages were all dead, Jaina raised her head, and looked at the arcane aggregate that did not increase in size, but became more solidified in midair. It was the existence of this magical instrument that made the three The archmage has no ability to resist.

This instrument is the Focusing Iris.

The Focusing Rainbow is an artifact of the blue dragon family. In theory, only blue dragons can use it, but Jaina has an extraordinary affinity for it for some reason. This can be gathered from the small force field she discovered in Sholazar Basin at the earliest. The first glimpse of the contraption can be seen, which is basically a small focusing rainbow, but it is a toy for young Jaina.

And Ner'zhul clearly knew this.

Stealing the Focusing Rainbow from Coldarra was easier than imagined. Knowing that Lordaeron was organizing the Northern Expedition, the Lich King did not use this artifact for defense, but gave it to Ji anna.

Ner'zhul knew very well that the current Scourge might not be able to stop the Northern Expedition, so he chose to increase his bargaining chips to force the other party to negotiate, but unfortunately, it wasn't until Isaacs rushed to the Frozen Throne that he realized that he had underestimated the other party's destruction. his determination.

The power of an artifact is often single and extreme. The Focusing Rainbow has two main functions. It has an astonishing energy storage space and can absorb the surrounding arcane energy at an unimaginable speed. After absorbing a certain amount, It can also transmit the stored arcane energy, or use the fastest way to output energy—explosion.

The latter function would be experienced by Jaina in a unique way in normal history, but now, the Focusing Rainbow is performing its first function. When the surrounding environment becomes an arcane vacuum, mages naturally do not have any The ability to cast spells.

And the range of influence of this artifact can cover the entire Dalaran.

Jaina walked out, looking down from the balcony at the top of Violet Castle, as if quietly waiting for a good show.

On her slender neck, an ice-blue crystal was emitting a slight light.

All the energy of this magic city began to gather towards the focusing rainbow, the magic lanterns went out one after another, the magic broom that had been working hard suddenly fell to the ground, and even Dalaran's protective shield completely lost its function.

The city is paralyzed.

Many mages have found that they can't sense the slightest bit of arcane energy. The arcane vacuum is fatal to archmages, let alone these low-level mages. Chaos is about to arise.

But what followed was even more horrific upheaval.

A rotten arm suddenly protruded from the well at the entrance of the Dalaran Bank, and then a ghoul's ugly face appeared. It screamed vaguely, and tore a claw from the nearest magic apprentice. A large piece of flesh and blood fell.

The apprentice cried out in pain. He looked at the monster that appeared suddenly in horror, and tried to back away to avoid it, but suddenly several claws protruded from the mouth of the well, and more ghouls climbed onto the ground. The well seemed to spew out ghouls in a steady stream, endlessly.

At the entrance of the sewer in front of the Krasus platform, there was suddenly the sound of extremely heavy footsteps, and a huge abomination suddenly rushed out of it, followed by countless undead, and several humans in strange black robes.

The powerful mages of the past were not as powerful as the farmers at this time. The guards alone could not stop such an army of undead. After a short resistance, they were brutally torn to pieces.

Such a situation happened everywhere, and the undead appeared from all kinds of unexpected places and carried out brutal massacres.Lordaeron has been looking for the location of the Semana College for several years, but never expected that the home of the Cult of the Damned is actually under Dalaran, and the sewers extending in all directions are the best hiding places.

Chaos, death, and disaster bloom in this city.

Jaina shook her head, lost interest in watching, she turned and walked towards the teleportation circle, and came to the lower level of Roland Castle.

The Focusing Rainbow still needs to continue to play a role, so let's leave it at the highest point in Dalaran. Anyway, it has absorbed so much energy and is already in an unstable state, so no one should think about it.

The lower floors of the castle were covered with frost and corpses frozen by ice blocks. This was obviously Jaina's own masterpiece. She walked through it expressionlessly and walked out of Violet Castle. At this time, there was already an astonishing lich waiting for her here. .

"Everything is going according to plan, Lord Jaina, this city will soon belong to us." Kel'Thuzad grinned, spewing out a lot of cold air. He is obviously a person who can bend and stretch. He called Jaina before "" My apprentice", but now he directly called the adults, the transformation was very natural.

Jaina took a look at the former mentor. After all, Kel'Thuzad finally got his wish and became a lich. This is also the "eternal life" that Ner'zhul promised him, but in the original timeline, Kel'Thuzad used The power of the Sunwell is reincarnated, but in this timeline he draws the pure energy he absorbed in the Azeroth Magic Weave before the Focusing Iris.

This is essentially waste utilization. After all, if the energy originally stored by the Focusing Rainbow is not released, then the performance when absorbing it will be greatly reduced.

"Let's go." Jaina said lightly.

The killing continued around her, but Jaina didn't take a look, she kept walking south, and soon reached the Tribunal of Truth, where she had been tried before.

Naturally, the Tribunal of Truth has also been occupied by undead. Several undead soldiers are guarding a young silver-haired mage, and Jaina can be said to be extremely impressed with this guy.

There was a faint evil spirit in her ice blue eyes.

That was Luthor the Enforcer, the initiator of the trial, intent on incriminating Jaina on certain charges, and the murderer of Mr. Bigworth.

Luther showed a horrified expression when he saw Jaina, but then yelled, "Bitch! I knew you betrayed us all!"

Jaina ignored his clamor completely, and didn't even look him in the eye again.

"As you can see, Your Highness, we successfully captured him." Said a male death knight who also rarely maintained a human appearance, and his identity was naturally ready to be revealed, Prince Galen Trollbane After killing his father, he hid in hiding like a rat in the ground, until now he saw the light of day again, and he clearly knew who his new master was, so he naturally wanted to curry favor with all his strength.

Of course Jaina could feel this guy's flattery, she knew that Galin obviously regarded herself as the same type of person as her, and the reason why she called her His Highness was obviously to let Jaina call him by the same title.

Unfortunately, his calculations failed, and Jaina completely ignored his presence, and by this time she had drawn Frostmourne.

Luther felt bad, he continued to struggle and greeted Jaina with all kinds of dirty words he could think of, but the latter remained calm and stretched out Frostmourne to him.

She didn't mean to kill Luther outright, that would be too cheap for him.

The mage's body suddenly bent in pain, blood flowed from his body, his skin began to become dry and dull, his hair began to fall off rapidly, his torso began to dehydrate and shrink rapidly, and the appearance of the whole person began to change amazingly The change.

In just a dozen seconds, the well-dressed young mage just now turned into a brainless ghoul. He screamed in a daze, and then began to lick his own blood dripping from the ground.

Poor Luther.

"Take this idiot out and let him wander around as a lowly undead." Jaina said coldly,
Her order was immediately carried out, and the undead obeyed her just as they did to the Lich King. Jaina herself was about to leave, and Jiawen couldn't help but stop her immediately, "Your Highness Jaina, May I follow you to keep you safe?"

Jaina stopped and turned her head. The cold eyes made Galin tremble for a moment, "Do you want to become a ghoul too?" She asked in an emotionless voice.

Prince Galin's body froze suddenly, and he no longer dared to keep up with Jaina. He didn't dare to doubt whether the other party could do what he said.

The next place is the small park in the corner of Dalaran.

The small tombstone is still there. She buried Mr. Bigworth here with her own hands, and now is the time to bring it back to life.

Jaina clasped her hands lightly on the soil, and after a while, the soil started to move, and Mr. Bigworth came out slowly. He first looked around in confusion, and then called out softly to Jaina. With a sound.

Without the smooth rough, without the flesh and blood, the cute kitten at the time is now only a skeleton, but in Jaina's eyes, Bigworth is still Bigworth.

She stretched out her hand and stroked Mr. Geworth's head, and the skeleton cat rubbed against her sensiblely. Not only did a tear flash from the corner of Jaina's eyes, this may be the only thing she can enjoy in this cold world. the warmth.

"Poor little thing." Kel'Thuzad sighed behind him, not knowing whether he was talking about Mr. Bigworth or Jaina.

……

At this time, on the far sea in the west.

It seems very strange that the dark crow is flying on the sea, because the crow is not a bird suitable for long-distance flight. It can be said to be a miracle to see one in this endless ocean.

Obviously, this crow has a special identity and ability.

The early morning fog shrouded the sea surface, and the visibility was very low. Even the sunlight had difficulty passing through the thick fog. At this moment, a huge island that seemed to be able to move appeared in the fog. It looked like It's a huge and sea turtle.

The crow flew straight towards the mobile island as if it had discovered a new continent.
