The scarabs kept multiplying, leaving Rhonin less and less room to maneuver.
Rhonin had no confidence he could kill this giant cockroach quickly. Worse still, Eileen was buried beneath the ice.
Eileen's inability to melt the solid ice herself could only mean one thing: she was badly injured.
Rhonin could not afford to drag this out. He had come to northern Northrend to bring Eileen safely back to Dalaran.
"Are you ever going to stop breeding?"
Rhonin abruptly stopped and compressed the arcane energy swirling around him, releasing it the instant it reached its critical point.
Bzzzz! The Arcane Torrent tore through the air, its high-frequency vibrations rattling Rhonin's eardrums.
Greater Arcane Explosion burst outward in a ring centered on Rhonin, blasting every scarab swarming toward him into dust.
At the sight, Anub'arak instinctively added another layer of protection to his thick carapace.
Taking advantage of the brief lull before the scarabs regrouped, Rhonin drew on two elements in his surroundings.
Vast quantities of frost and earth elements gathered around Rhonin. Layers of frost rose, and ice chips and shattered chunks fused together under the guidance of blue-violet arcane ripples.
At the same time, on Rhonin's right, arcane energy bound the earth elements into an upright form. An earth elemental of matching size stood before him.
The two towering elemental giants charged Anub'arak from either side with devastating force, crushing the scarabs beneath their feet along the way.
These primitive insect eggs from the subterranean kingdom had only grown into their current forms after painstaking care from many breeders.
With his scarabs, Anub'arak had repeatedly repelled the shadowy forces beneath the subterranean kingdom and conquered vast tracts of Frost Troll territory.
Now, the scarabs that had rendered such distinguished service to Azjol-Nerub and the Scourge were being trampled and humiliated
