The angel wielding the Emperor's sword transformed into a dazzling golden streak, charging headlong into Frostmourne, which was imbued with endless frost and the power of death!
Holy light surged and roared on the blade, emitting a purifying hum.
"Foolish creation of light!" Arthas let out a cold sneer. As if sensing the challenge from its nemesis, Frostmourne's ram-headed skull eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light, and an even colder and more desperate death power burst forth!
Clang——! ! !
The holy sword and the demonic sword clashed fiercely once again!
This time, the sound was no longer a piercing chorus, but a deafening explosion as if space itself were being torn apart! The dazzling holy light clashed violently with the filthy dark green frost energy, forming a visible energy vortex that ripped a large chunk of the palace's magnificent dome off! Debris rained down like rain.
At the same time, flames erupted from the angel's body, forcing Arthas back; this was the effect of the Shield of Fire.
In their first encounter, the two were evenly matched. The powerful Holy Light and the counter-damage from the Shield of Fire caused black smoke to rise from Arthas's body. As a level 7 unit, the power of the angel was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, while Arthas was dealing with one angel, another angel who wasn't wielding the Emperor's weapon would also sneak up from the side to attack, and the Holy Light Greatsword also came with a spell called Holy Light Judgment.
Rhodes immediately ordered Somra to unleash Chain Lightning. A massive blue shockwave shot out from Somra's hand, first striking Arthas, then the Dreadlord, and then the two Death Knights.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The lightning bolt exploded like thunder, sending the two death knights who had come with Arthas flying. The dreadlord's body was also charred black, and Arthas was knocked back by the blow.
The power of chain lightning is terrifying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rhodes grabbed the mage's hand and rushed out of the palace, while ordering the seven Holy Light elementals and the remaining fire elementals to block the entrance.
Seeing that the two were trying to escape, Arthas raised an anti-magic shield around himself, forced back the two angels with a single sword strike, and charged at Rhodes once again.
Rhodes seized the opportunity and unleashed a blinding attack.
Alsassin immediately felt a strange force acting on him. His eyes suddenly went black, he could not see, and even his body became sluggish. A strange force restricted his movements.
Arthas stood there like a statue, his first battle with his eyes blinded was quite effective.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the three golden men and the monsters retreated with their master.
Only two angels remained to deal with the situation for the time being. The two angels had wings and could fly away at any time. Rhode could also remotely recall them to the system space, so he was not worried.
Before leaving the palace, Rhodes suddenly had the idea to cast a Fire Wall, a terrifying flame that blocked the undead pursuers and enveloped the entire exit of the Lordaeron Palace.
"Gina, we need to get out of here quickly, we can't linger," Rhodes said as he ran.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; he should retreat first and then figure things out.
Chapter 86 Breaking through the encirclement, mocking the fool, and riding a dragon to fly away.
The female mage nodded and followed Rhode closely. "Rhode, once we leave a certain area of the royal city, I will be able to cast teleportation magic again."
"Alright, let's charge out of the city!"
The two rushed out of the palace in an instant. At this moment, Arthas, who was like a statue, was suddenly freed from his restraints by a surge of cold death power.
The blindness only lasted for less than a minute, but even so, it made Arthas feel a sense of fear and even some anger. Damn it, if it were a duel with a master!
Let alone being restricted for less than a minute, even a few seconds could cost him his head.
"Don't worry, Arthas. This magic is strange, but this is the first time I've dealt with it. Next time, the power of death will help you break free of its restraints." The Lich King's voice echoed in Arthas's mind through Frostmourne.
“I understand, great master, but is Rhodes really that important?” Arthas nodded and asked.
"Just do as I say. Now catch up with that mage immediately and bring him to me." The Lich King's voice was somewhat urgent.
Rhodes's necromancy, the various spells he cast, and his wondrous creations far exceeded his imagination.
Seated atop the Frozen Throne, everything in Azeroth was within his mental sphere. If his mind could enter Rhodes' body and take over, he could obtain everything Rhodes possessed.
Rhodes has too many secrets. When Rhodes first summoned the undead army, he even mocked him, because playing with the undead in front of the Lich King was simply showing off his skills.
But what happened next shocked the Lich King. He found that he could not control the undead creatures, and they did not even react to him. He could not control them at all and they did not accept the power of the Crown of Domination!
Arthas nodded, and with Frostmourne in hand, he gave chase once more. The dreadlord who had been traveling with Arthas had vanished without a trace.
Faced with the fiery wall, Arthas planted Frostmourne in the ground, and an incredibly cold aura erupted, extinguishing the fiery wall set up by Rhodes.
As for the Holy Light and Fire elements, they were utterly powerless against the overwhelming power of death and ice; Arthas practically killed them all with a single sword strike.
The two angels had already been summoned by Rhodes from a distance and were not involved in the mission to stop Arthas; angels are not cannon fodder.
With two powerful angels clearing the way, all the undead creatures Rhode encountered along the way were burned to ashes.
Just as the two were retreating, a blonde woman carrying a four or five-year-old girl suddenly appeared in front of Rhodes, followed by several ghouls.
The woman being hunted was none other than Calia, the princess of Lordaeron and Arthas's sister.
Upon seeing this, Jaina immediately fired two Frostbolts, eliminating the pursuing ghouls. Rhodes also unleashed a Flash of Light to destroy the undead chasing the princess.
"Is it you? Baron Rhodes, and Gina, that's wonderful!" Princess Galiya, holding her daughter, rushed to the two men, tears streaming down her face.
She had no idea what had happened. She was in a good mood today because her brother, who was on an expedition to Northrend, was coming back. She was having snacks with her daughter and planning to attend Arthas's welcome dinner that evening.
He was catching up with his long-lost brother and chatting about everyday things when, unexpectedly, a large group of undead creatures suddenly appeared, killing his maid and the guards protecting him.
Princess Galiya panicked and ran out with her daughter in her arms, and then she heard people shouting!
Arthas has betrayed us! Arthas has killed King Terenas.
He could hardly believe his ears. What was going on? Hadn't Arthas returned victorious today? Why was this happening?
"Don't worry, Sister Galalia, we're here with you. We're alright now, we'll get you out of here." Gianna quickly stepped forward to comfort her best friend.
"Rhodes, and Gina, what, what happened? Why are there so many undead creatures suddenly appearing? My brother Arthas, did he really betray us?" Princess Calia asked after managing to calm herself down.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, so I'll keep it short: Princess Arthas of Calia was controlled by the Lich King and betrayed his country and his people!"
"He personally killed his own father, King Terenas. Just now, Gianna and I had a fierce battle with him in the palace before we escaped," Rhodes said, crouching down.
"How is this possible? Arthas, how could Arthas do such a thing? This, this is impossible, impossible." Princess Calia looked incredulous.
Clearly, Her Highness the Princess could not believe that Arthas had done such a horrific and inhuman thing.
“I know you can’t believe it, but Sister Calia, we saw it with our own eyes. Arthas is no longer the person you know.”
"He's a complete demon now. You'd better leave with us quickly, Arthas could catch up at any moment." Jaina hurriedly pulled Princess Calia up and said.
Although Princess Gallia still found it hard to accept, the three of them continued forward together, urged on by Rhodes and Jaina.
Rhodes also received news that all the Holy Light Elementals had died, so he used his remaining magic to summon seven more Holy Light Elementals to follow him.
Luckily, he had gotten a set of equipment from Kai beforehand; otherwise, he would only be able to summon 5 Holy Light Elementals now.
The number of undead creatures around them increased, including large numbers of ghouls, ordinary skeletons, and even ordinary civilians and palace maids who had been killed, all of whom rose up.
Screams filled the air. Some of Lordaeron's palace guards were fighting back against the undead, but their resistance was futile as hordes of undead creatures were relentlessly assaulting the defenses.
Rhodes and Jaina could only sigh helplessly at the human tragedy before them, now that Jaina had confirmed it.
The prophet and the guardian behind Rhodes are right. Humanity is doomed to face this calamity and must go to Kalimdor.
At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind them, accompanied by shouts of "Ah!"
Arthas rode a skeletal warhorse, chasing after the group.
"Where are you going? My good friend Rhodes, our battle isn't over yet, are you going to run away like a coward?" Arthas roared from behind.
"Arthas, what happened to you? What happened?" Princess Calia couldn't help but ask, looking at her brother who looked like a dead man.
"I have now received eternal power, immortality, and you will all soon receive this blessing, and all of Lordaeron will," Arthas said, raising Frostmourne.
"I'm sorry, I don't intend to become an undead creature, because my gun still has a great use!" Rhodes snorted and ordered the two angels to launch an attack.
Jaina didn't react for a moment, and looked at Rhodes with some curiosity. What was that gun he was talking about? Was Rhodes good at using long-handled weapons?
But Princess Galya, standing to the side, seemed to have realized something and looked at Rhodes with a strange gaze.
Taking advantage of a lull in Arthas's battle with the two angels, Rhodes didn't forget to taunt Arthas with his words.
"Arthas, are you still able to get hard? You're not going to just...? God, that would be a tragedy." Rhodes finished speaking and fired a blinding shot.
Rhodes intended to restrain Arthas once again, but this time Arthas was shrouded in a thick death aura, and Frostmourne unleashed an incredibly terrifying chill. Rhodes' fire magic blinded him, and this time it had no good effect.
However, it still stunned Arthas for a few seconds. In those few seconds, Arthas was struck by two swords from the angel.
Arthas was quite wary of Rhodes's strange magic.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand you at all." Clearly, as a Westerner, Arthas didn't grasp what Rhodes meant by "can't get an erection."
"I'm talking about you, wanting Jaina to be your Frost Queen, but do you have the ability to do that?"
"It's a pity, the dead don't have that ability. It's such a shame you'll never experience that kind of pleasure," Rod said.
“........” Jaina looked at Rhodes speechlessly. This bastard was just trying to provoke Arthas!
At this moment, Arthas finally realized what was going on and understood what Rhodes was implying.
Is it hard or not? Damn it, this bastard actually used this way to mock me. As an undead, he really is useless now.
Rhodes' words clearly angered the Death Knight, and Arthas stopped talking to Rhodes.
“Rhodes, I promise you, I will turn you into an undead just like me,” Arthas said as he fought the two angels.
"That's a real shame. I don't intend to become an undead." After saying that, Rhodes summoned two bipedal wyverns from the system space. This was the time to put flying units to good use.
Rhodes had Jaina and Princess Calia ride on one horse and fly away first, while he rode on the remaining horse.
Seeing that Rhodes and the others were about to fly away, Arthas immediately ordered the nearby gargoyles to fly over and had the cave spiders spit out webs to trap them.
But Rhodes was prepared. The spider webs spewed out by the crypt demons were burned by the fire elementals, while the holy light elementals blocked some of the gargoyles.
The gargoyle that approached the wyvern was also bitten to pieces, proving that the wyvern is capable of fighting.
Seeing the two women fly away, Rhodes also decided to retreat.
"You idiot, let me tell you, I'm not only going to stab Gina with a gun, I'm going to stab your sister too."
Oh, and I also want to ride your invincible horse.
Chapter 87, the Golden Bag, promises real-world gold; it helps persuade Galiya.
I've taken your old flame, and I'm taking your sister too. As for the invincible warhorse, to be honest, no Warcraft player wouldn't be interested in this mount.
Rhodes has stormed Icecrown Citadel multiple times, facing the Lich King directly, all for this thing. He has controlled Beast Mastery, Marksmanship Hunter, Assassination Hunter Rogue, Destruction Warlock, Fury Warrior, Arms Warrior, Retribution Paladin, as well as Demon Hunter, Frost Death Knight, and countless other races and classes to enter this place.
Every time Arthas said, "All I see is darkness," Rhodes would always add in front of his computer, "I'll be back next week!"
