"Stop her!"
Arthas was shocked and furious. He had been on the verge of success, only for Black to come charging in.
Was he an idiot?
Why would someone from the Blood Demon Faction risk his life for the Succubus Faction?
Had he fallen for Estelle too?
Moron!
But no matter how baffled Arthas was, he still could not stop Estelle.
Kel'Thuzad immediately abandoned Black and swung his giant Scythe, bringing a torrent of Death Qi down toward Estelle's back!
But...
"I'm your opponent."
Black spoke calmly. Holding his fingers together like a blade, he slashed through the air.
A thin yet vicious blood-colored Space Blade appeared without a sound. Though launched later, it struck first, hitting the giant Scythe squarely on its blade!
Clang!
A piercing clash of metal rang out!
A strange Spatial Tremor traveled up Kel'Thuzad's Scythe, numbing his arm and breaking his attack in an instant!
He stared at Black in horror.
He was at the Ninth Tier Peak.
Black was only Eighth Order.
Yet he, a Ninth Tier, could not withstand a casual strike from Black.
What terrifyingly precise control over space!
Arthas had seen it too.
His gaze flicked from Estelle, who was racing toward the Divine Origin, to Black, who stood ahead of him with an unfathomable aura.
Wariness flashed in his eyes, followed by resolve.
Arthas drew a deep breath and gave a decisive order.
"Everyone, hold off Black! You, come with me to seize the Divine Origin!"
With a low roar, Arthas abandoned Black outright. He and Kel'Thuzad charged madly toward the third Nirvana Divine Source!
Clearly, they considered that higher-quality Divine Origin far more valuable than a fight with Black.
If they obtained it and broke through to Demon King, they could make up for every loss they had suffered
