Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

Page 54

A terrifying aura of ice erupted from Arthas, extinguishing the 10 fire elementals summoned by Jaina in an instant.

At this moment, the Holy Light elementals summoned by Rhodes and Uther also stepped up, while Rhodes handed the Holy Light Scroll to the other three paladins, who could also summon two Holy Light elementals to join the battle.

There were more than 20 Holy Light elementals present. These 20-plus Holy Light elementals, along with two angels and Uther's successful flanking attack, successfully repelled Arthas's offensive.

Chapter 96: Arthas is severely injured; the effect of Lady Luck.

“We can’t fight here for too long, or a never-ending army of undead will come. Quickly cast a teleportation spell; I need everyone here to evacuate,” Rhodes said to the female mage.

Jaina looked around. There were five people on her and Rhodes' side, and about twenty people next to Lord Uther, making a total of more than thirty. They were barely managing, but she was probably exhausted. However, she couldn't worry about that now.

"Rhodes, buy me some time. I'll cast a teleportation spell." The female mage took a deep breath, walked to the center of the arena, and began to cast a spell, her body glowing with arcane light.

This time, she needs to overdraw her magic.

“We’ll buy you some time, so don’t worry,” Rhodes said, nodding to Jaina.

Please, don't mess this up this time, otherwise your flying mount can only carry two people at most.

Rhodes summoned three golden men and three mythical creatures, then commanded the three mythical creatures to cast beneficial spells on everyone: Holy Spirit Protection, Counterattack, and God of Fortune.

Of these three spells, only Holy Spirit's Protection is somewhat useful. Counterattack and God of Luck are two different things: one increases the chance of a counterattack, and the other greatly increases luck. It's unclear what effect they will have in reality.

After the God-Monster Lord finished casting his magic, Rhode also used his Stone Skin, Divine Shield, and Bloodlust spells to buff everyone.

After Rhodes and the others joined the battle, the remaining militia and paladins immediately displayed great fighting spirit, and their morale was ignited once again.

In the center of the battlefield, the collision of holy light and death erupted with a piercing shriek, and more than twenty holy light elementals, like golden meteors, fearlessly rushed towards the death knight Arthas.

Then it explodes directly with the purest holy light energy. This is a new use that Rhodes discovered. Holy light elements are usually very powerful in one-on-one combat and also have healing abilities, but their greater use is self-destruction.

This move can deal massive damage to shadows, undead, and demonic creatures, but Rhode dared not be careless in dealing with Arthas, so he simply ordered everyone to command the Holy Light elementals to go and self-destruct.

And so, booming sounds echoed continuously across the battlefield!

Each impact and explosion caused Arthas's Death Shield to fluctuate violently, emitting a sizzling sound.

One angel wielded a greatsword of holy light, clashing head-on with Frostmourne, while another angel provided support, capable of ambushing Arthas or healing his allies.

The clash between the Holy Light Greatsword and Frostmourne both exploded with dazzling holy light fragments and pitch-black ice crystals, and the powerful shockwaves shattered the nearby low-level undead.

"Damn you holy light beings, I will turn you into the embodiment of death sooner or later," Arthas said with a cold snort.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he could easily kill those two angels, but with two against one, plus the constant harassment from the holy light elementals and paladins, he was extremely annoyed.

"For the Light!" Uther roared, and the Silver Hand warhammer once again erupted with the light of order, seizing the moment when Arthas was restrained by the angel.

A precise, heavy hammer blow slammed into Arthas's shoulder armor! The Saronite groaned shrilly, the dent deepening, and Arthas staggered to his knees.

"Well done, Lord Uther!" The three paladins, Gervinrad, Barad, and Saji, followed closely behind, their warhammers infused with holy light slamming into Arthas's leg armor and waist, attempting to disrupt his balance.

However, Frostmourne suddenly swept across, unleashing a sharp burst of frost sword energy. The three paladins were instantly sent flying, their weapons falling from their hands, blood gushing out, clearly severely injured.

Rhodes shook his head helplessly. "What are you three noobs doing going up there? Didn't you see that Uther and the angels were able to temporarily hold this kid back?"

"Insects! You dare to charge at me?" Arthas's cold gaze swept over the fallen paladin, and the chains on Frostmourne began to stir once more.

Just then, Rhodes' voice boomed like thunder: "Now! Holy Light Self-Destruct!"

Rhodes commanded the remaining ten Holy Light elementals present to self-destruct, following Rhodes's mental instructions.

All the Holy Light elements surrounding Arthas suddenly erupted with blinding light! The Holy Light cores within their bodies were instantly ignited, compressed, and then—

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

A series of earth-shattering explosions erupted around Arthas!

An ultimate outpouring of pure holy light energy! Like more than a dozen small suns igniting and then annihilating in an instant! The blinding light plunged the entire battlefield into temporary blindness, and the terrifying holy energy shockwave, carrying the will to purify all filth, fiercely swept across Arthas and the ground around him!

"Ughh ...

"Now's the time! Angel, get him!" Rod roared.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two angels transformed into two golden streaks of light, disregarding the damage they would suffer from the aftershocks of the explosion, and resolutely lunged at the staggering Arthas. The greatsword of holy light slashed down with unwavering resolve, giving the filial son no chance to catch his breath.

"Gina! Is the teleportation ready yet?!" Rhode turned around and shouted at the female mage who had already begun preparations.

Jaina stood a short distance away, her staff raised high above her head. Powerful arcane energy gathered and swirled wildly around her, forming a distorted spatial force field.

Her eyes were tightly closed. Teleportation spells require time and enormous energy, especially when it comes to taking so many people away and locating them in such a chaotic energy field!

"Hold on! I need time!" Jaina said.

Arthas steadied himself amidst the angels' relentless attacks, and Frostmourne unleashed an even more ferocious wave of deathly cold, instantly freezing and repelling one of the angels!

However, just as Arthas was about to launch a fatal blow, the angel inexplicably dodged the attack. Moreover, after a burst of golden light shone from the angel's body, it struck Arthas hard before retreating.

Seeing this, Rhodes understood that this was a morale boost, and that last burst of luck must have been the effect of Lady Luck! Sometimes, good luck is really necessary on the battlefield!

However, after the angel withstood the blow from Frostmourne, the angel, who had over 200 health points, was reduced to a sliver of health. Rhodes hurriedly withdrew her and then cast a healing spell.

At the same time, the angels began to summon the power of holy light to heal themselves, while Uther, wielding the Silver Hand warhammer, stepped forward. On the entire battlefield, only he and two angels could fight Arthas head-on for a few rounds, and one of them could only withstand a couple of blows at most before collapsing.

Arthas's crimson eyes were fixed on Jaina, who was casting a spell, his killing intent boiling: "Don't even think about escaping! Rhodes, Jaina, Uther, you will all die here!"

Numerous cave demons emerged from the ground, and these enormous spiders appeared in the central area, swallowing several unfortunate militiamen whole. Their webs also trapped several paladins.

Meanwhile, a large number of gargoyles appeared in the sky, along with several eerie creatures hovering in the air. They resembled bats but wielded hammers and weapons. These were the Gargoyles of Destruction, a high-level unit of the Scourge with extremely strong magic resistance.

At this moment, a large number of undead Scourge creatures surrounded them, including several Death Knights and Liches among Rhodes. Rhodes could only send some of his men to hold them off, and even summoned his trump card, Thor.

After appearing, Rhodes immediately unleashed a Chain Lightning, targeting not Arthas but the other undead creatures, as well as the surrounding Death Knights and Liches. Rhodes wanted to kill as many of these hero-level units as possible to see if he could get any good loot.

A burst of blue light emanated from Suoye's hand, and the first target of the chain lightning was a death knight who was commanding a ghoul charge!

The lightning pierced through him and his skeletal warhorse in an instant! The Death Knight didn't even have time to scream before he was reduced to charred remains in the raging thunder!

The chain lightning didn't stop! Jump! The second target was a lich nearby who was casting Frost Nova!

The lich's icy shield shattered like paper, its fragile skeleton disintegrated instantly in the lightning, and the soul fire within its skull was extinguished!

Leap! The third target was another Death Knight attempting to intercept! The same fate: charred and shattered!

The fourth target was also a death knight, but the final strike of Chain Lightning was not powerful enough to kill him, only severely injuring him. However, Rhodes kindly finished him off with a Thunderbolt, allowing him to pass away peacefully.

With the combined efforts of Thor's Chain Lightning and Rhodes, Arthas's four important lieutenant heroes were successively eliminated!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless! Incredibly efficient!

Rhodes noticed that, perhaps due to the god of luck, his magic seemed to have increased significantly. Sometimes, having more luck isn't useless after all.

This sudden turn of events caused Arthas to freeze in his tracks! He watched helplessly as his trusted subordinate was reduced to ashes in the lightning, and his rage was about to explode!

"Damn insects! Die!" Arthas whirled around, directing his raging fury at Soram. Frostmourne unleashed a massive frost sword strike, aimed straight at Soram!

This strange blue magical creature had killed four of his lieutenants in succession, which greatly displeased Arthas.

The destructive gargoyles in the sky also began to attack the angels and Uther, casting eerie necromancy.

At this moment, Jaina's teleportation spell was finally completed, and a blue light enveloped everyone.

Chapter 97 The Garden of Truth and the Manufacturing Plant, Uther Joins

Upon seeing the light of the teleportation spell illuminate, Arthas's face showed disbelief. How could this be?

Upon seeing Gina, he immediately ordered the liches around him to begin casting counterspells. Logically speaking, with so many people being teleported and liches casting counterspells, the probability of successfully using the teleportation spell was pitifully low!

Normally, a mage can only teleport 3 to 5 people. Any more than that would require an enormous amount of mana and a very long casting time.

Gina's luck is incredible! She managed to cast a teleportation spell of such scale with only a 10% chance.

Arthas was unaware that the spell "God of Fortune" could increase a target's luck stat, and that luck could sometimes turn the impossible into the possible.

This was a kind of idealistic power, the most terrifying of all. Accompanied by a burst of blue light, Rhodes, Gina, Uther, and all the Silver Hand paladins present vanished without a trace.

It can only be said that when the God of Gods randomly cast the spell of the God of Luck, the scales of victory were destined to tip in Rhodes' favor, because the goddess of luck was smiling at Rhodes.

"Rhodes! Gina! Uther! I will kill you all! Damn it, you won't escape!" Arthas's furious roar echoed throughout the burning Andorhal, filled with endless resentment and bitterness.

He watched helplessly as the cooked duck flew away, along with the heavily wounded Lightbringer and those damned paladins!

At the edge of the ice pit, only the lonely and furious figure of the Death Knight remained, along with the ravaged remains of the undead and the scorched earth purified by the Holy Light. The last Silver Hand resistance fighters near the granary, along with their leader, had miraculously vanished.

After the dizziness from the teleportation subsided, Rhodes and his group crashed heavily onto the relatively soft grass. The fresh air replaced the stench of Andorhal, but the others were unaffected.

However, the female mage was already exhausted and fainted on the spot.

Rhodes quickly stepped forward to catch Jaina, then took out a magic potion and poured it into the mage's mouth, while simultaneously casting a healing spell. Holy Light magic could only heal some superficial wounds.

If you truly want to restore your vitality and perform comprehensive healing, this skill is the most useful. It can heal not only living beings but also inanimate objects.

While treating the female mage, Rhode also checked his system notifications.

A glorious victory! You have gained xxxx experience points, your level has increased to 9, and Soram's level has increased to 4.

Rhodes, after upgrading, added 1 point of Strength to himself and Thor to increase the power of their magic. What they lack now is spell damage, but their mana is sufficient for the time being.

Among the skills, Soye acquired intermediate wisdom and intermediate magic, while Rhode acquired basic wisdom and upgraded one earth magic to advanced level.

After thinking for a moment

Besides failing to upgrade, Rhodes also gained access to wilderness resources and killed a total of four elite units this time.

You can obtain resources in the wild 4 times, but unfortunately, the first two times are only partial resources, giving some crystals, gold, and gems. Combined with what you got before, it's just enough to upgrade your advanced residence and also get you an advanced tomb.

Rhodes looked at the wilderness resource building and said, "Congratulations on obtaining a new wilderness resource building."

A Garden of Truth, and a factory for manufacturing field unit nests.

Both of these are good. Visiting the Garden of Truth can increase a hero's Intelligence by 1 and increase their Magic by 10 points.

The other factory is even more remarkable; it's the only one that can recruit four types of soldiers in the wild: Stone Golems, Iron Golems, Gold Golems, and Diamond Golems.

All four of these unit types can impersonate Titan creations in the future, which will fill the gaps in the recruitment of Gold and Diamond units. Iron and Stone units are also good even if they are not used as trade goods.

Both buildings were excellent, and Rhodes was very satisfied. He could recruit at least a dozen puppet bodyguards every week. These things were much more useful than the troops in Muyuan City, at least they could be seen in the light of day.

After inspecting his spoils, Rhodes turned his gaze to the female mage, and with a burst of green light, Jaina slowly awoke.

"Are you alright, Gina? You fainted," Rhodes asked.

“I’m fine, Rhodes. I was just a little exhausted, but I feel much better after your treatment. Are we out of danger now?” Jaina managed to stand up and looked at Rhodes to ask.

“We should be out of danger by now, at least we don’t have that stench of the undead here,” Rhodes said after looking around. At this moment, the group was in a valley.
