Chapter 1,254 Reunion After A Long Separation [First Update]
As soon as the name Kel'Thuzad was spoken, the Lich did not respond, and Ansrem and Modera were shocked.
"Kel'Thuzad?"
"It's actually him?"
Suddenly hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name from Antonidas's mouth, they were surprised at first, and then suddenly realized.
If it were him, everything could be explained.
Why can the Curse Sect develop so quickly?
Why can natural disasters of the undead sweep across the world so easily?
Why did Dalaran have so many surprises when facing the Scourge, even though it was prepared early in the morning?
Why were they able to steal artifacts from Dalaran's heavily guarded treasure house so easily...
If Kel'Thuzad was the mastermind, everything would be explained.
After understanding everything, the two men looked at the Lich with a hint of vigilance.
As a former colleague of "Seven Sixty", no one knows Kel'Thuzad's excellence better than them.
This great magician was a rare genius in Dalaran during his lifetime. Compared with most of the MPs who upgraded to legends in their 40s and 50s and then relied on their qualifications to rise to power - Ansrem and Maud are typical examples of them - Kel'Thuzad is more similar to Antonidas, Ye Ting and Jaina.
They all mastered powerful abilities at a young age, and they all achieved great academic achievements very early.
No matter which world we are in, the existence of genius is always scary.
In a profession like magician, which requires intelligence, the advantage of genius is even greater.
It can be said that even before leaving Dalaran, Kel'Thuzad's strength was enough to awe them.
Not to mention that so much time has passed now, who knows what breakthroughs he has made in his taboo research - the posture of the lich in front of him is proof.
Kel'Thuzad himself was stunned for a while when his identity was revealed.
It can be heard from Antonidas's words just now that he did not just recognize his identity, but had already suspected it.
But obviously in order to avoid accidents, he deliberately did not show up during the whole process.
And with his skull face now, who can identify him?
Even the best biologists can only identify species based on their skulls. How can anyone identify their identity based on their skulls?
Since Antonidas already knew his identity, why did he let him steal the artifact? And now he delivered it to his door?
What's the conspiracy?
Kel'Thuzad was thinking wildly in his mind, but on the surface he remained calm and sneered:
"Long time no see, Antonidas. I didn't expect that we would meet again in this state."
"Yeah, long time no see." Antonidas responded in a low voice, with a profound sense of sadness in his tone.
Although he was not Kel'Thuzad's teacher, in the process of the genius magician's rise, the talented Antonidas could be said to have provided him with huge amounts of help, both academically and in terms of status.
At that time, the two of them were both teachers and friends.
He still vaguely remembered that Kel'Thuzad was originally a handsome man when he was young. Until he was promoted to the Council of Six, Antonidas was always proud of him.
Even when he was warned because of his forbidden research, even when he left Dalaran, Antonidas never thought that this day would come.
But now…………
.
Only pure white bones were left on his face, not even the decayed muscles were left. The ferocious bone spurs that were not like mortals showed that the man in front of him was evil far beyond his appearance. His eyes have long been decayed, but the pale blue pupils still shine with evil light in the empty sockets.
"So...you finally surrendered to the power of the taboo and degenerated into this, right?"
Antonidas' voice was choked with sobs.
"Exactly, this is me, the perfect me, my master, the great Lich King has given me a new life, allowing me to understand the meaning of life."
Kel'Thuzad bowed in triumph, paying homage to his master.
"Then I can only completely eliminate you."
Antonidas calmly raised his staff and prepared the magic:
"It's useless to talk more, Kel'Thuzad, let me see what the Lich King taught you!"
"That's how it should be."
Kel'Thuzad knew Antonidas. He knew how proud the great magician was of his human identity and of Dalaran. He knew even more how much Antonidas cared about Dalaran, the city he had devoted his life to.
So he never had any pity or the possibility of persuading him to join the Scourge...
Now when we meet, we can only fight to the death.
But Kel'Thuzad relied on more than just these nerubians.
In fact, he set up this trap after stealing the artifact, just to solve a batch of the biggest troubles in Dalaran for him before summoning Archimonde.
Since he thought that Antonidas would personally recover the artifact, he would not think that he and a group of spider demons alone could defeat all enemies.
Along with him appeared many terrible guys.
These undead were once the most powerful warriors and paladins, but after being killed by Frostmourne, they had a new identity - death knights.
The Death Knight is not only an officer and vanguard of the Scourge, but also a weapon against one of the most feared enemies of the Scourge - the spellcasters.
When the Death Knight profession was designed, they were given this important task, and the Death Knight's ability to fulfill this responsibility relies on one of their specialties:
[Anti-magic shield]
This kind of shield is still powerless when facing the Magician Tower or the large-scale magic prepared by Magicians for a long time.
——In other words, in addition to real resistance with force, even the Holy Knight's Holy Shield technique cannot 100% resist this powerful spell that represents pure destruction.
But the Lich King and Kel'Thuzad would not be so foolish as to use their own shortcomings to attack each other's strengths.
[Anti-Magic Shield] is designed to be the nemesis of small magic. 0.8 Magic such as Ice Arrow, Fireball, Arcane Missile, and Arcane Blast are widely used in hand-to-hand combat by magicians because of their small consumption and short casting time.
Faced with the damage caused by these supernatural forces, any other profession would have to shy away before the legend - this is also the strength of the magician.
But the death knight with the anti-magic shield is not afraid of this.
In this case, the Scourge can effectively solve this big trouble by creating a close-quarters situation and forcing Magician into a disadvantaged duel.
For example, in front of the Island of Quel'Danas, this is how Arthas defeated King Anastarian and the high elves Magicians with the weak defeating the strong.
Another example is now...
Happy New Year everyone.
