Soon, ripples began to appear on the calm surface of the Sunwell, spreading outwards in concentric circles.
If you look closely, you'll notice a trace of black energy mixed in, though it's very little, it's definitely there.
Shia knew this was what was called dark energy, or death energy. If nothing unexpected happened, the Sunwell was now corrupted. But what did this have to do with Shia?
Moments later, the Sunwell finally began to boil. A figure shot into the sky, and a skeleton appeared in mid-air.
This was the lich; incredibly powerful spiritual energy surged wildly and unrestrainedly in all directions.
Kel'Thuzad was quite satisfied with the pure and surging spiritual energy within him.
Back when he was still human, Kel'Thuzad was one of the most legendary mages in Dalaran. But his true strength was only at the early stage of legendary.
Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that his strength will remain at the early stage of the legendary realm for his entire life. Unwilling to accept this, he began researching spirit summoning techniques.
Through continuous experimentation, the acquisition of the mysteries of life and death, and the study of the soul, his strength finally advanced further, reaching the mid-stage of the legendary realm.
At first, I was quite satisfied, after all, my strength had improved once again, hadn't it? At that time, I also had a bottom line, and the subjects of my experiments were just some mice or animals.
But human greed is insatiable. After reaching the mid-Legendary stage, Kel'Thuzad wanted to advance further, but found no way to do so. Therefore, in order to improve his strength, he had no choice but to further his research into necromancy.
Later, summoned by the Lich King and receiving Ner'zhul's gift, his power reached the late Legendary stage. Now, having transformed into a Lich, his power has reached the peak of Legendary.
Legendary peak! That's a realm I could only dream of reaching back then. Even Antonidas, the greatest mage in the human world, only possessed this level of power!
Feeling his own power and reflecting on his life, Kel'Thuzad felt that it had all been worthwhile!
"Haha, I, Kel'Thuzad, am back!" Kel'Thuzad said, waving his hands triumphantly.
However, at that moment, Kel'Thuzad suddenly sensed something was wrong, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a white glimmer!
What exactly is this?
Why couldn't I detect it with my mental energy? Could it be that the material of this item can block mental energy?
Furthermore, why would this thing appear at this time?
------------
Chapter Thirty-Two: Little Ke, who said, "As long as the Life Box remains, I will never die," died!
There was no time to think. Crisis, a deadly crisis!
Kel'Thuzad instinctively used Teleport to get out of the way, even though it might not work, it was better to use it anyway. However, just in case, Kel'Thuzad used a short-range random teleport.
It is precisely because it is random that it is safe! Even you don't know where you will land, so the enemy naturally won't know either.
In an instant, the figure vanished from its original spot and reappeared several dozen feet away. However, the white light in their sight was now even closer!
Under the detection of mental energy, there was no one near the white light. He looked around but found nothing.
At the same time, Uther leaped into the air. Simultaneously, he raised his hammer, unleashing an immense surge of energy.
"Looks like there's no escaping it, but I am a lich!"
He gave a cruel laugh as he spoke. What's the most famous characteristic of a lich? It's their incredible lifespan! As long as their life casket remains intact, they can be resurrected. Since we can't escape, let's die together!
With that thought, he immediately took action. A silvery-white light emanated from him and spread outwards in all directions. Even space itself was frozen by this spell.
If Shia persists in his assassination attempt, he will undoubtedly be frozen. Even if he inflicts a blow on himself, his speed will be slowed. At that point, an assassin facing Uther's hammer head-on is essentially doomed.
Seeing this, Shia did not dodge or avoid. In a flash, he appeared beside Kel'Thuzad, lightly sliced with his dagger, and with a hiss, his figure disappeared again.
Immediately afterwards, Uther's hammer appeared behind Shia.
bump!
With a clanging sound of metal striking metal, Shi A actually used the force of the hammer blow to escape from the scene, disappearing once again in a flash.
"Haha, as long as the Life Box remains, I will not die. What's the point of this?" As he spoke, he continued to release magic and explore everything around him.
At the same time, a voice came directly from the void.
"Really? It's just a trace of the soul's essence left in the life box, nothing special! By the way, this dagger in my hand is called Godslayer. It's a dagger specifically designed to target pure energy beings like you. Even so-called gods would only be defeated in front of this dagger."
However, Kel'Thuzad fell silent as he spoke. Ever since he was slashed, he had felt his mental energy rapidly draining away.
Now, in just a few breaths, half of his powerful spiritual energy has been lost, and it's happening faster and faster, showing no sign of stopping.
Legendary Peak
Legendary Late Stage
Mid-Legend
Early Legendary Period
A few breaths later, Kel'Thuzad's strength was so low that he couldn't even maintain his legendary status anymore. In a flash, he fell below the legendary level and became just an elite.
No one is immune to death, not even a mad scientist like Kel'Thuzad. Faced with the threat of death, and the kind from which there is no coming back, even he could not remain calm.
He painstakingly increased his power, experimented with necromancy, and even accepted gifts from the Lich King Ner'zhul, transforming himself into a grotesque, inhuman creature. Later, he founded the Cult of the Damned, single-handedly spreading the Scourge. All of this, what was it all for? Nothing but immortality!
But at this point, it was all in vain. It turned out that even if one transformed into a lich, one could still die.
"No, this is impossible! I am a lich, my life casket is indestructible, therefore I am immortal, this cannot be true!"
"Lich King, great Lich King, save me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, incredibly powerful streams of spiritual energy surged forth from Kel'Thuzad's soul.
