Menethil's Power

Chapter 458 Freedom?

The pitch-black Naxxramas was suspended in mid-air, and most of Dalaran was shrouded in shadow, which made the city not look so... full of devastation on the surface.

But being shadowed doesn't mean the facts don't exist.

Naxxramas was originally the fortress of the Niburu people, but after this ancient worm race was completely controlled by Ner'zhul, this ancient and magnificent building naturally became the fortress of the undead. Er'Thuzad managed to activate some ancient runes on it, giving the fortress the ability to levitate and teleport, and it was the arrival of Naxxramas that completely destroyed Dalaran in just one day .

Ner'zhul seemed to be desperate. Naxxramas carried the most powerful force of the Scourge, including the most elite skeleton army, the nerubian army led by the crypt lord, and the most powerful frost giants. Before dragons, and most necromancers, were so powerful, Dalaran without arcane energy was no different from a large human village.

The violet brilliance has been extinguished, and the once bright and clean streets are covered with ashes and blood stains, and those who walk among those magnificent and gorgeous buildings are no longer hurried mages, but ugly undead exuding stench.

The city of mages has completely fallen.

The cold blade hangs down on the ground, and Jaina looks at the dilapidated scene around her, without the slightest fluctuation in her cold eyes.

She had long since lost such weak and useless emotions as pity and guilt.

To be honest, she didn't have much affection for this magical city, because the mentor turned into Kel'Thuzad by mistake back then, she didn't stay in Dalaran for too long, and the Lich King turned to Kel'Thuzad She pointed out the essence of life, which made her remain indifferent even if she slaughtered countless creatures within one day.

Oh, and she also transformed most of them into abominable monsters.

It's hard to imagine that when she was a girl, she didn't even have the heart to hurt a hare, and the plague that had nothing to do with her even made her blame herself for dying.

A figure stumbled out of the ruins. It was a human sorcerer. His well-trimmed beard and hair were messy. He should be a high-ranking sorcerer. After all, it is a symbol of status, which can also explain why this mage can survive until now. Senior mages always have some special means of saving their lives.

But even with the Focusing Iris draining all arcane energy within Dalaran's range, he still couldn't escape his fate.

The pursuer who made such a noble mage flee in a hurry appeared, but he was just a stupid ghoul. After losing the ability to cast spells, the noble mage couldn't even deal with a low-level undead.Jaina not only caused the destruction of Dalaran, but also completely trampled on the dignity of these mages.

The mage obviously saw the situation here, and despair appeared in his eyes, "You damned, despicable witch! We should have sent you to the Violet Prison in that trial long ago!"

He even recognized Jaina, who seemed to be one of the participants in the original trial.

Jaina didn't say anything about his cursing. In the past few hours, she had heard many vicious names about her, executioner, wicked woman, and betrayer, but she didn't care, just as the voice in her ear was always The voice that expressed presence said that they were just afraid of her.

The shambling ghoul was on its way, throwing the mage down in one fell swoop, sinking sharp claws into his chest.The mage's life came to an end, and the ghoul began to greedily eat fresh flesh and blood before he died.

This scene has surpassed the psychological tolerance limit of ordinary people, but it still did not cause the slightest disturbance in Jaina's heart. This does not seem to be purely because of Ner'zhul's mind control, her heart seems to be frozen. Or she seemed to have lost most of her human emotions.

A snow-white cat with scorched black paws and tail is walking unsteadily. This cute little cat is particularly conspicuous in such a chaotic and dilapidated scene.

It just walked towards the terrifying girl who completely destroyed the city, and the latter seemed to have no reaction to its arrival. The cat climbed up her legs to her shoulders, and rubbed the girl affectionately A face as pale as snow.

Gianna's face was still covered with frost, but she stretched out her right hand and scratched the cat's chin. She just killed thousands of people, and now she is showing affection to this cute cat .

Because this is Mr. Bigworth.

This cat was Jaina's first resurrected undead in Dalaran. After that, the psychics and necromancers of the Scourge received a difficult task-to make this Mr. Bigworth a Just like a normal cat, although this job is like a joke compared to twisting souls, transforming undead, or even stitching abominations, no one dares not to take it seriously.

Ner'zhul has made it clear that Jaina is second only to him in leadership, and the latter has already used ruthless methods to prove his authority.

So they are finished, with soft and smooth fur, bright eyes, cute posture, and even eating small dried fish and drinking goat milk, the reborn Mr. Bigworth is the same as before.

Except no temperature.

Jaina didn't care about this, because although her own body was not undead, it also lost some biological characteristics, including a constant body temperature. There was a coldness between her and Mr. Bigworth. warmth.

In the sky, a huge frost dragon hovered over Dalaran, roaring ferociously. It was Sapphiron, one of the few bone dragons transformed from a complete dragon in the Scourge.He was reincarnated by Jaina herself, and brought the artifact of the Focusing Rainbow to the Scourge. As for whether such behavior would offend the blue dragon, it is completely out of the scope of consideration.

The frost wyrm is now the guardian of Naxxramas and doubles as Jaina's flying mount.

At this time, behind Jaina, there are still two necromancers. If any surviving members of the Kirin Tor see these two dry faces, they will definitely scream, because the former archmage of the Council of Six , and now it has also fallen.

For the Scourge, it is a huge waste to just kill the enemy. Ansrem and Delandon both died under the sword of Frostmourne, so their souls are controlled by this magic sword. It is not a good idea to resurrect them What a problem.

The state of these two archmages is very miraculous. They are still sane, and their spellcasting ability is not much different from what they were in life, but they do not have free will. In the Scourge, loyal to the master of Frostmourne.

They have become servants of the sword and its master.

But for some unknown reason, Jaina did not make Antonidas into a similar state, and the soul of the elder was still in Frostmourne.

Jaina soon got tired of this dilapidated scene, she turned around and prepared to return to Violet Castle, and Kel'Thuzad was waiting for her there, although the Lich couldn't see any emotion from the face of the skeleton, Kel'Thuzad looked quite excited.

"We have basically wiped out Dalaran. More than one-third of the mid-level and high-level mages have completed reincarnation and are now serving us." The Lich quacked, "You are now the master of Dalaran! Belongs to the Scourge!"

Compared to Jaina, Kel'Thuzad seems to be more happy to see the destruction of Dalaran.

Jaina nodded indifferently, "Then what about the Guardian Sanctuary? Have you found that place?"

The Temple of the Guardian is the secret meeting place of the Tirisfal Council. Although the council established to protect the Eastern Kingdoms is now dead in name only, the Temple of the Guardian still exists in Dalaran, and there are amazing secrets hidden in it. secret.

"Yes, I found it." Kel'Thuzad replied, and the Lich looked at Ansrem and Dryden intentionally or unintentionally, "With the information shared by these two 'colleagues', I can naturally discover this The city's deepest secrets, I have to say that although I have lived in Dalaran for decades, I didn't fully understand it until now, and the Tirisfal Council is really an amazing organization."

"It's an honor to serve the Lich King," Delandon said sullenly. The two archmages had changed drastically after being reincarnated as undead.

"It's really admirable to have such a 'noble' consciousness." Kel'Thuzad smiled sarcastically,

He just wanted to tell about the amazing discovery in the guardian's temple, but Jaina suddenly groaned in pain, staggered, and almost collapsed to the ground, she covered her forehead with her hands.

She felt an extreme sense of discomfort spread throughout her body, and the source of this feeling was her soul. The connection with the Frozen Throne suddenly broke, and the voice that had been whispering in her ear suddenly disappeared.

"What happened, Your Highness?" Kel'Thuzad called, he was very concerned about Jaina's situation now, because he knew that this former apprentice was his investment, which meant that he gave up all the rewards he could get.

This and the title of Your Highness are not just due to Jaina's status as the Queen of Kul Tiras, but more because of her status in the Scourge.

Jaina didn't respond to Kel'Thuzad, and the mental changes had involved her whole mind. In her spiritual sea, an invisible chain that had always existed before suddenly disappeared, and those memories that Jaina had been neglecting immediately disappeared. It surged up, including the curse sect's framing of her step by step, as well as her own pain and helplessness when she was misunderstood by the whole world.

These memories were originally blocked by the Lich King, which could completely affect Jaina's will, but now this blockade no longer exists. This only shows one situation, that is, Ner'zhul has died.

This was obviously a situation that no one expected.

Without the Lich King's shackles, Jaina's soul seemed... free?

But this is obviously not the case. Jaina’s memory is not only the experience of being framed and forced to go down the road of corruption, but also the evil she did. Yet such a devastating massacre was created.

And Ner'zhul's damage to her soul is irreversible. She is no longer kind, has lost sympathy and compassion, and the only thing she desires now is power and strength.

If she only pursued these things, then Ner'zhul's demise might really be a "good thing" for her.
