Chapter 1708: Playing Goth (Three Watches)
The alliance is getting stronger.
It's just that, after 15 years of Duke coming to power at the Dark Gate, the new ballads that have been sung in the tavern have always lacked a sense of epicness.
Victory without sacrifice can certainly retain vitality to the greatest extent, but on the other hand, it cannot sharpen the strongest will.
Gradually, Duke discovered a blind optimism within the league's top that could not be suppressed.
Yes, the Burning Legion Triumvirate is on its knees, at least it seems.
The two ancient gods were also.
What else can stand in the way of the League of Heroes?
Everyone doesn't say it, but they all think so from the bottom of their hearts.
In a good situation, it seems that everyone is a little floating.
Duke couldn't imagine what it would be like to continue to maintain this mindset when faced with the Burning Legion's extinction attack.
But he can't deliberately lose a matchup of this level.
One can only hope for a proper fight!
It's hard.
"Whew-" Duke's eyes steadied with a long, cloudy breath.
He kind of understood his future path - to delegate power and let the leaders face the wind and rain more alone.
It may be difficult, and it will be accompanied by blood and sacrifice, but it must be!
But before that, let's take the car over Alsace first!
The magic that was bombarding all around him didn't seem to have anything to do with Duke. He fell into a strange state of tranquility.
The [Etiyès] in his left hand was raised in the air, and the clear arcane glow almost dazzled Malygos's ghostly eyes. In fact, on Duke's right hand behind him, it was his [Song of Light and Shadow]!
"System Elf, launch [Arcane Storm] in ten seconds!"
"Understood. ”
In ten seconds, the battlefield situation, which had almost become a fixed pattern, suddenly changed.
Malygos was caught off guard by this fierce onslaught, which came almost without warning.
The momentum that almost crushed every drop of magic and poured out really shocked Malygos.
According to his estimates, Duke not only poured out the magic power of the magic circuit in his body, but also the magic power in the peripheral magic network circuit attached to it.
For a mage like Duke who grew up on an orthodox path, arcane magic is the absolute foundation.
Without the support of the arcane system, it is difficult to run the elements of the frost and fire systems smoothly.
In doing so, Duke is tantamount to destroying his roots, at least for a short time.
"Is Duke mad at me? Or is Sylvanas really his scales?" Malygos sneered in his heart.
They are both top-level demigods, and they also use elemental magic, and when there is little difference in each other's mysterious levels and the difference in elemental concentration, the factor that determines victory or defeat is no longer a magic skill.
The key to victory or defeat is often each other's elemental reserves, each other's life force, and magic resistance.
In Malygos's opinion, he has the Lich King's magical leylines as his backing, and Duke has a magical web connecting the four elemental realms, and if each cannot cut off the other's elemental supply, this duel will become protracted.
That's exactly what he wants. He believed that the Lich King's side would settle the battle before the victory was decided on this side.
Sylvanas, who uses the wind element alone, has a hard time breaking through Arthas's defenses. It is good to use the power of the Thunder, but it is also difficult to defeat Alsace with home advantage. When her offensive declined, it was the end of the battle, which was bound to end with the victory of the more enduring Alsace.
Malygos didn't know that Duke was making the same judgment faster than he did.
In less than a hundredth of a second, beams of arcane energy that appeared to be turbulent currents and were actually carefully calculated by the system shot out, striking each other, and then popping out at various unbelievable angles like bumper balls.
Faced with this exaggerated and seemingly chaotic cluster offensive, Malygos did not react at first, thinking that it was absolutely random.
Until he was shocked to see that the ice storm he had pushed out to meet this arcane storm had been easily defeated.
Each ice prism was shot at the most pungent angle by a just right ray of arcane energy, directly exploding.
Frost elemental clusters, whether large or small, were all broken up and became elemental turbulence in the true sense of the word.
For the first time, Malygos finds that her big magic is out of control.
The ice tornado, which was supposed to spin clockwise, showed signs of collapse.
As a last resort, Malygos roared, stretched out his claws, and summoned almost all the frost elements that could be summoned at this moment, and injected them into the ice tornado in front of him.
With a single blow, the Ice Wind Tornado, which had been a little loose and shrunk, expanded again, and was twice as large as before.
But Malygos immediately realized that something was wrong.
Arcane Storm's energy line shot is still spicy and tricky, but the total amount of arcane elements invested is obviously wrong, which is a typical follow-up power.
Arthas couldn't completely exclude other elements from entering the fortress, so naturally it was impossible to completely cut off the magic and elemental supply transmitted from the magic web to Duke.
This kind of decline seems to come out of nowhere......
"Drink—" Malygos snorted angrily, squirting a breath of dragon's breath directly into where Duke was.
The dragon breath of the previous dragon king is certainly very powerful.
However, in the eyes of an elemental shaping master like Malygos, the dragon's breath is a simple outpouring of energy, and although the power is huge, the efficiency of the use of the elements is inevitably too low.
He couldn't care about that much.
Under his nervous gaze, I don't know if it's lucky or not.
The dragon's breath, which gathered incomparably pure frost elements, was simply a raging wave, easily eliminating the interference of those large and small arcane energy rays, and directly hit Duke, who was originally standing on the steps of the square.
There was no Ice Barrier, no magic shield, not even a hint of panic.
In the moments before Duke was about to be completely engulfed by the Ice Dragon's Breath, Malygos saw the mocking smile on the corner of Duke's mouth.
That's—the smile of the treacherous triumph!
At that time, Malygos felt as if his heart, which had ceased to beat, to regain its vitality, and then it throbbed violently from the most violent fright.
"Not good!" said Malygos.
"It's too late!" At this moment, a hundred meters above Malygos's head, a cloud of arcane energy that seemed impossible to damage the dragon lich suddenly exploded, and the real Duke appeared.
At the same time, Duke slammed into Malygos at high speed like a cannonball.
The dragon lich's thoughts turned, and suddenly large and small ice dragon ghosts appeared in the void around him.
They open their mouths and unleash countless powerful frost-based magical attacks. These magic shots at Duke at high speed, as if the rushing waves hit the bow of an icebreaker that is breaking through the wind and waves, and then separate to the sides, except that the 'waves' that are knocked away are made up of lines of frost elemental white flowers.
