Such a massive transformation array could not possibly be perfectly accurate; it must have many weaknesses.
So many necromancers are maintaining this magic circle, and at its core is Kel'Thuzad.
Once the magic circle is broken, Kel'Thuzad will suffer the most severe backlash and be severely injured, making it easier to deal with him then.
Kel'Thuzad is, after all, the most powerful Lich in the world, possessing High-tier Legendary magic. Several months have passed, and after studying the Book of Medivh, his spellcasting ability must have reached Legendary level, making him very difficult to deal with.
To deal with him, we must first weaken him; otherwise, given Jiang Jie's current state, we really have no chance of winning.
Such a massive transformation array, capable of reviving hundreds or even thousands of corpses at once, requires not only a long period of preparation but also a long period of continuous casting. It's not that easy, but Jiang Jie still has time.
He continued his Stealth, hiding in the shadows, waiting quietly.
Time passed second by second, and Jiang Jie could even hear cracking sounds, the sounds of bones moving.
The corpse was too ancient; it was likely just a fragile skeleton. Now, under the influence of Undead and death energy, it was slowly regaining life and spirit, gradually reviving, but it was not yet complete.
"Done!"
A holographic image of the entire tomb appeared in Jiang Jie's mind, with over a thousand weaknesses marked.
Most weaknesses are not fatal. Even if you attack those weaknesses, at most you will only weaken the power of the transformation array slightly, or prevent a few corpses from being resurrected. It's nothing serious.
The greatest weakness, the one that could cause the transformation array to collapse and all psychics to suffer a backlash, is only one:
It wasn't Kel'Thuzad himself, but the Grimoire of the Damned floating above his left hand!
That grimoire is the core of the entire transformation array, the eye of the array. All the spell nodes are connected to the Grimoire of the Damned, and invisible lines emanate from the Grimoire of the Damned, connecting to every corpse that wants to be resurrected.
In a sense, that grimoire was like a weakened version of the Lich King Helm; it lacked the power to amplify the mind, but it possessed the power to manipulate the Undead.
As long as that demonic book is destroyed, the transformation array will inevitably collapse!
" Kel'Thuzad, you're finished!"
Jiang Jie approached silently, until he was less than fifty meters away from Kel'Thuzad. Suddenly, he burst forth, drawing the divine sword Strom'kar in the midst of his Charge. He appeared behind Kel'Thuzad like a fleeting shadow, and with a swift movement, the sword fell!
boom!
All seven layers of reactive defensive spells activated in an instant, which is why Jiang Jie did not directly attack Kel'Thuzad.
Cheap Shot is completely ineffective in taking down a Legendary high Lich.
The seven layers of defensive spells protecting Kel'Thuzad's safety, combined with his defensive capabilities, are absolutely Legendary. Jiang Jie believes that even someone as powerful as Garona would be unable to harm Kel'Thuzad under these circumstances. Even if she were to be injured, it wouldn't matter, as long as the Life Box remains intact, the Lich will never suffer a fatal wound!
However, Jiang Jie attacked not Kel'Thuzad, but the Grimoire of the Damned.
This grimoire was not within the range of defensive spells; it floated above Kel'Thuzad's left hand, even higher than his head.
A grimoire is a book of magic.
A spellbook of this caliber must be made of special materials, either dragon hide or the fur of other magical beasts, and its defensive capabilities are almost comparable to chainmail.
Some precious spellbooks even have strong magical protection. Many spellbooks in Karazhan have remained unopened to this day because the protective spells on them are too difficult to break.
But what use are chainmails, or even plate armor forged from Adamantite, against the divine sword Strom'kar?
As for protective spells, a mere book—how could it possibly withstand the demon-dispelling power of a divine sword?
Sizzle!
A soft tearing sound rang out as the divine sword sliced through the Grimoire of the Damned as easily as cutting tofu, splitting it in two.
"No!"
The next moment, accompanied by Kel'Thuzad's angry shout,
A massive amount of death energy erupted from the shattered Grimoire of the Damned, causing it to explode and shatter into pieces, much like the explosive charge Jiang Jie had used to detonate the scales on Farad's back not long ago. The entire transformation array collapsed instantly. All the necromancers maintaining the array suffered magical backlash and collapsed, with Kel'Thuzad being the most severely affected!
His soul light flickered several times, the soul fire in his head surged violently, his left hand and arm were shattered by the power of the Grimoire of the Damned, his magnificent clothes were torn, his crown fell off, three of the seven layers of defensive magic were destroyed, and the remaining four were also in imminent danger.
The more powerful the transformation array, the stronger the backlash!
With a muffled groan, Jiang Jie was also thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion, crashing heavily against the opposite wall. Fortunately, he had taken precautions beforehand, and the Black Tortoise Armor Gang Qi cushioned his fall, so he was not injured.
The next moment, he suddenly attacked again, pressing his advantage relentlessly!
His opponent is Kel'Thuzad, a High-tier Legendary spellcaster. He absolutely cannot be given any breathing room. Jiang Jie's goal is not only to destroy the transformation array, but also to kill Kel'Thuzad, obtain the head of the Chicken Leg Staff, and the Book of Medivh from him!
The sword light was dim and failed to break through the remaining four layers of defense. Several ice shields rose up, blocking the divine sword and also blocking Jiang Jie.
Immediately afterward, a magical light flashed, Kel'Thuzad appeared twenty meters away, where dozens of members of the Cult of the Damned rushed towards Jiang Jie.
Kel'Thuzad raised the Greatstaff of Atiesh with his right hand, while the shattered bones in his left hand flew back and reformed, revealing a book in his hand— the Book of Medivh.
This most precious and powerful spellbook in the world opened automatically. Kel'Thuzad chanted incantations, and a massive amount of Arcane energy surged towards him. The next spell was bound to be very powerful; the spells recorded in the Book of Medivh were all very powerful, so powerful that even Kel'Thuzad couldn't cast spells without the spellbook.
" Pyralis, stop him!"
With a roar, Jiang Jie unleashed Shadow Phoenix from the divine sword, its long tail trailing behind it and thick Shadowflame, turning the entire tomb passage into a sea of blue-purple fire.
As the phoenix cried out, a wave of heat rolled in, and all the members of the Cult of the Damned in the tomb passage were reduced to charred corpses and then to ashes in less than ten seconds. Kel'Thuzad was also forced to stop casting spells and instead weave simpler spells to defend against the attack of the Shadow Phoenix.
The current Pyralis is not the Pyralis as before.
Over the past few months, it has devoured countless souls, becoming twice as powerful as it was at the beginning. The Phoenix Flames it controls have also become twice as powerful, and its energy level is almost at the High-tier Legendary level, not far from Kel'Thuzad's.
Kel'Thuzad must go all out in its attack.
Jiang Jie did not rush over, but turned around and quickly came to the body of King Thoradin.
Having lost the transformation array, the corpse fell back into the coffin. King Thoradin, who had been dead for several months, appeared somewhat shriveled and lifeless.
Jiang Jie glanced at it and frowned slightly.
The sword Trol'kalar is gone, clearly now in the hands of Detheroc, allowing him to better impersonate King Thoradin and avoid suspicion.
"Fine, I originally intended to give this sword to that person, but since I've encountered you, I'll take it! Given your status, it wouldn't be an insult to him!"
