Menethil's Power

Chapter 464 The Sharp Blade in the Shadow
Kalia didn't look at Patchwick again. At least in the past few minutes, the giant stitch monster couldn't move, which can basically be regarded as having solved it.

Jaina and Kel'Thuzad are left now.

As a former member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, Kel'Thuzad was originally a powerful mage, but after being reincarnated as a lich, his attainments in certain forbidden fields naturally became more advanced.

There's no reason to let it go, Kalia was able to change her position before to prevent the lich from successfully casting spells, but she can't always do this.

So how to deal with a lich quickly and effectively?

Kalia soon had an answer,

With the finger of Sargeras's scepter, a crack in space was formed, without the need for Kalia to inject energy, the crack expanded spontaneously, and soon there were deep panting and roaring sounds from the mysterious alien space, and then A huge, pitch-black hellhound rushed out of it with its teeth and claws open.

This is Cerberus, the new Cerberus king after Hakkar's death, sort of Kalia's pet.

"Get rid of him." Kalia pointed at Kel'Thuzad from a distance, and ordered Cerberus.

Kel'Thuzad instinctively felt insulted to see Kalia use a beast against him, but when he noticed Cerberus, his expression became serious.

The research of the mages of Dalaran is all-encompassing, and naturally there is also information about the arms of the Burning Legion that are specifically aimed at mages.

Cerberus rushed towards Kel'Thuzad aggressively.

……

Although the battle on the observation platform was fierce, the scope of its influence was not too large. At this time, somewhere in the sewers of Dalaran, a faint spot of light was shining, and it gradually grew stronger, forming the appearance of a portal. .

Two vague figures walked out of the portal, and they became invisible as soon as they appeared, as if they had never existed before.
"This used to be a hidden stronghold of ghosts, and a small space anchor point was set here, but it was completely abandoned a few years ago." Valeera explained to the dark templar beside her: "And Interestingly, although it has been several years, neither Dalaran nor the Scourge have discovered the existence of this place, which gave us a chance."

The activation of the abandoned space-time beacon was naturally Kalia's handiwork. In fact, they made this temporary battle plan only after they discovered that the teleportation point could be used. Of course, Kalia went directly to Jaina. In essence, it is to attract the attention of the Scourge Legion and win opportunities for Valeera.

Of course, the eldest princess is very confident in her own strength. It would be great if she could directly solve Jaina, the fallen princess.

"It's a pity that after this operation, the secrecy of this place will no longer exist," Akama said after looking around.

As Kalia's dark templar, Akama's combat power has undoubtedly reached the epic level. Although he was a draenei paladin defender before, his experience of becoming the Broken made him accept the shadow. There are no psychological barriers when dealing with deceitful ways.

"We didn't expect this place to have any effect. Who would have thought that Dalaran would be occupied by undead." Valeera shrugged, "If we had known that this would happen, we would have said nothing. This stronghold will continue to operate."

The conversation ended here. After all, this is the enemy's territory. No matter how superb the stealth skills are, one still needs to be cautious.

Their goal is very simple, not to kill an important person, nor to steal any important information, but just to determine the location of the Dalaran floating device.

Of course, it is impossible to directly destroy that device. The floating city is located obliquely above the royal city, and one city falls on another. This may be one of the few wonders in human history.

But only by knowing the exact location and working mechanism of that kind of floating device can we target it.

"Let's act separately to find as many clues as possible." Valeera lowered her voice and said, "I'll go to the surface, and you continue to search around for a while. We will still gather here after 10 minutes."

Akama nodded silently.

After this disaster in Dalaran, a large number of arcane institutions in the original city were destroyed, so Valeera can be said to be unimpeded, and no one can see through her stealth.

In this short 10 minutes, Valeera saw many scenes that surprised her. A large number of mages were transformed into undead. The Scourge seemed to have some way to make them unable to resist, and then they were killed in batches , which makes the current Dalaran somewhat unlike an undead city.

Those resurrected mages, they are trying to maintain the city's ley power circuit, just like they did in life.

This is a very important piece of information. The undead in Dalaran are not brainless skeletons. They may even retain the knowledge and memory of their lifetime.

She also saw some translucent beings that looked like angels. They looked like female humans, but they were two or three meters tall, giving people an illusory and cold feeling.Intuition told Valeera that they had a lot to do with the resurrection of these mages.

Those energy circuits must pass through the floating device, and Valeera immediately made a judgment. She began to investigate along these energy circuits, but found nothing.

The elf female thief frowned, did she guess wrong?
Meeting with Akama, the latter also shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't find anything critical.

Only the core members of the Kirin Tor and the Tirisfal Council know the existence of the Guardian Temple. Naturally, Valeera and Akama cannot find it by themselves. After all, it was the heyday of the Tirisfal Council established defense mechanisms.

Valeera realized that the mission might fail. The portal they passed through could only last for a short time. If they didn't evacuate before it closed, they would really only be able to hang out with the undead here.

But she was a little unwilling to leave like this, Valeera observed secretly, and soon found a very eye-catching guy.

It was an undead. Of course, there are basically no existences other than undead in Dalaran now. He is wearing a luxurious archmage robe, and he looks like he has a high status.

This undead mage is likely to be one of the few archmages who were killed by Jaina and then transformed into undead, and from now on, he still seems to have a very important role.

"Do it, let's kill him." Valeera said coldly.

After spending so much effort, we can't come here in vain. Since we can't find the information we need, let's turn the investigation mission into an assassination mission.

……

The collision of ice and frost made a sound similar to that of crystals breaking. One ice crystal was dark blue, and the other was a more normal ice blue.

Kalia just looked at Jaina like this, with a slight smile, "Is there any other way?" She asked provocatively.

Jaina's face was frost.

On the other side, Patchwick was still howling furiously, but his huge body couldn't break free from the ice cage at all. His lower limbs were still immobile, and the ice layer covered was getting thicker and thicker.

Still the same sentence, Patchwick has amazing frontal combat power, but he is a warrior after all, and when a warrior faces a mage, especially a mage who uses frost spells...

The Cerberus King Cerberus rushed towards Kel'Thuzad. In his dark green eyes, the beast looked fierce as prey. As soon as the latter raised his hand, the Frost Nova exploded on the only way the Cerberus charged.

According to normal circumstances, Cerberus would be immobilized, and then he would be enraged on the spot under the blows of countless spells. Although the Cerberus dogs have excellent magic resistance, it does not mean that they can withstand the impact of high-level spells. Undamaged by the bombing.

But Cerberus is certainly not an ordinary hellhound. It took only half a second to break free from the shackles after suffering from the Frost Nova, and the several ice spears released by the Lich one after another, when they touched its pitch-black scales, Then it shattered, and only a few ice slags hit the solid armor.

Cerberus is still approaching, its speed is very fast, and Kel'Thuzad has no other means to stop it, a hint of malice flashed in the eyes of the Cerberus King, and the light of evil energy is between its two tentacles Condensed and turned into fire.

Cerberus's basic racial ability, mana burning, how could it not be the king of the pack.

The icy cold wind appeared, pushing the Lich's body backwards rapidly. Losing his human form made him unable to use the Blink Technique again, but it didn't matter, there were many alternatives after becoming a Lich.

But Mana Burning still hit, and Kel'Thuzad let out a muffled groan. The Lich is almost a half-energy existence, so the trauma of Mana Burning was even more serious.

"Damn demon." Kel'Thuzad said angrily.No matter how calm and experienced a mage is, he will feel extremely headache when encountering such a mage hunter-type enemy, but after Kel'Thuzad was promoted to a lich, the means he has are not just spells.

The chains suspended around the Lich began to slide. Naturally, these chains made of Saronite could not be decorations. They were like living tentacles, attacking Cerberus, instantly smashing the giant hell The dog entangled, and then the chain flew out at an astonishing speed, the target was Kalia, obviously trying to tie the two together.

Of course Kel'Thuzad couldn't just have noticed Cerberus, and the best way to deal with a summoned demon was to kill its master.

Kalia, who was fighting Jaina, released a solid and tall ice wall to block the chains, and then turned around to parry Frostmourne, staring coldly at the expressionless Jaina, the distance between the two was close It's very close.

"Your family will be ashamed because of you," she said.

These words did not have any effect on Jaina, the power of cold death was activated, and she pushed Kalia away abruptly, ending this confrontational wrestling, Shang Zhisorrow with a terrifying breath of withering, once again cut out.

On the other side, Kel'Thuzad's chains did not bind Kalia, but he didn't take it too seriously. The lich retreated instead of advancing, and Sensen's bone claws pierced Cerberus' body bound by the chains, drawing out From the deep wound, the blood of the devil spurted out, and death and evil energy eroded each other.

Since magic doesn't work, let's fight hand to hand. Although liches mostly appear as spellcasters, melee combat is no longer a weakness. The body of the undead is infinitely powerful, has no weaknesses, fears no pain, and will never fatigue.

Cerberus immediately became whimpering. Callia was supposed to feed Archimonde's purification fragments to him in the War of the Ancients timeline, but in the end she didn't.This led to the fact that the newborn Cerberus King's energy level did not exceed the limit of the hero level. Although it has amazing magic resistance, its physical strength is not high, which makes this kind of ability to completely restrain the Lich appear. Magic ability, but the situation that the frontal hand-to-hand combat cannot beat.

Isaacs asked Kalia to give the essence of Sargeras to the young Illidan at that time, and it was not a loss-making deal. Although Illidan in that timeline could not be brought to the main timeline, it was precisely because of the existence of his sample that the Kalia has an understanding of the combination of fel energy and mortal body. The most direct impact of this is the appearance of the dark templar. strength.

This theory will also make the real demon hunter profession appear earlier, but Kalia and Isaacs have not had time to start this plan yet.

Cerberus finally escaped from the shackles of Kel'Thuzad's chains. The current condition of this hellhound is indeed a bit miserable. If it wasn't for the demonic blood in his body that helped counteract the erosion of death and the power of frost, it is almost dead now. , but after all, Kel'Thuzad was used to being a pampered master mage in the human period, and he knew almost nothing about hand-to-hand combat, so it seemed that he could not kill Cerberus cleanly and neatly in a short time.

But how to say, Kalia's tactic of using the hell dog king to hold the lich was almost successful.

The devil girl herself is still fighting with Jaina. Although she is superficially at ease, her heart is not easy. She has to spend a lot of effort to control Patchwick, and Cerberus probably won't last long. Although Kalia has no feelings for her, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate a hell dog king, so it's better not to sacrifice it here.

But she can't make a quick decision. Yes, she is already a legendary existence, but the power that Jaina erupts is not much weaker than her. Her power is not just the power of death. It turned out to be arcane energy that manipulated the frost, and it seemed to have a feeling of infinity.

Kalia could feel that although the opponent was a little unfamiliar with controlling her own power at the beginning, she had become more and more proficient now.
