Jiang Jie took out a giant sword as tall as a person; it was the Apocalypse Greatsword.
This Death Knight's cursed sword is ranked alongside the runeblade Frostmourne, and in fact, it surpasses Frostmourne in its evil and enslavement of the Undead.
Without hesitation, Jiang Jie raised his sword and plunged it into King Thoradin's chest!
King Thoradin is already dead; this is not a killing, but a resurrection.
This demonic sword possessed the power to enslave the dead, and so evil magical energy surged from the sword into King Thoradin's body. In the skull at the sword's hilt, two ghastly green flames flickered in their eye sockets, creating an eerie and sinister scene.
The next moment, the death energy that permeated the entire tomb, the death energy that had been mobilized by the transformation array, all surged toward the corpse of King Thoradin, forming an exceptionally powerful, Legendary energy vortex centered on the corpse and the Apocalypse Greatsword.
Without a doubt, this is the Apocalypse Greatsword mobilizing death energy.
This demonic sword possesses a spirit; it desires to resurrect King Thoradin and to have a servant. However, it does not wish for this servant to be too weak. Therefore, it mobilizes a vast amount of death energy to nourish King Thoradin King Thoradin, ensuring that he truly deserves to wield it.
Yes, servant.
The one who can wield the demonic sword is naturally its master;
However, if one cannot wield the demonic sword, then one will become its servant.
Throughout history, more than one person has been killed by the cursed sword. Before Medivh obtained it, a member of the Council of Tirisfal with exceptional spellcasting abilities suffered a tragedy because he was unable to control the Devastation power within the sword.
When Jiang Jie first obtained it, he witnessed its resistance and struggle, but all its resistance was futile in front of Jiang Jie. After all, with Anveena inside his body, the demonic sword was firmly suppressed.
Representing tyranny, plague, and death, it was meant to serve the Undead. Only Death Knight are truly qualified to wield it.
With his body revived and his soul reshaped, King Thoradin opened his eyes, the ghastly green light almost tangible.
At the same time, the same ghastly green light from the skull's eye sockets on the Apocalypse Greatsword's gauntlet instantly became as bright as a 100-watt light bulb.
The sword trembled, and so did King Thoradin's body.
On the surface, nothing seems amiss, but in reality, both the man and his sword are vying for dominance.
Jiang Jie ignored Pyralis, since it was difficult to kill and could even revive after turning into ashes.
His eyes were fixed on the man and the sword before him, and a large amount of Chi surged into the divine sword Strom'kar, pointing it at King Thoradin.
If King Thoradin fails and is controlled by the Apocalypse Sword, he will not hesitate to kill King Thoradin and then find a true master for the Apocalypse.
To wield such a demonic sword is no easy feat. Arthas traded a portion of his soul for eternal imprisonment in exchange for becoming one with Frostmourne, inseparable from it.
King Thoradin, having spent his life in battle, undoubtedly possesses a much stronger will and spirit than Arthas. However, he has only recently been resurrected, and his soul is relatively weak. Furthermore, the Greatsword of Apocalypse is far more malevolent than Frostmourne. It is truly difficult to say who will prevail.
Time flowed as slowly as sand, and Jiang Jie finally understood what "relativity" meant.
The two pairs of eyes, one man and one sword, blinked alternately, their competition extremely fierce.
But as time passed, the ghastly green light in the skull's eyes of the Apocalypse Greatsword finally disappeared completely, and then King Thoradin reached out, gripped the demonic sword tightly, and pulled it out.
He crawled out of the coffin, the wound on his chest healing at a visible speed, and a Legendary energy fluctuation emanated from his body.
King Thoradin has finally defeated the Apocalypse Sword and taken control of this demonic sword!
He was not Arthas, not a prince with inner conflicts, but a tough and decisive king, a king who went into battle to kill countless Orcs and Troll!
He could not compromise with the Apocalypse Greatsword, nor could he merge with the Demon Sword; he would fight to the very end.
He was determined to become the absolute master of this demonic sword! Just as Jiang Jie was about to step forward and speak with King Thoradin, his expression suddenly changed.
He looked up but could not see the scene on the other side of the raging inferno; however, he could sense Kel'Thuzad's disappearance.
The moment King Thoradin rose to his feet, Kel'Thuzad realized his defeat and fled.
His abandonment of the remaining members of the Cult of the Damned and his escape before them must be part of a conspiracy.
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble, and the walls began to crack.
In the external images transmitted from the game pod, Kel'Thuzad held a rune, then suddenly crushed it, causing the entire tomb to collapse!
Jiang Jie understood instantly:
The so-called protective barrier is not only a protective barrier, but also a self-destructing barrier.
It can protect the tomb from external disturbances, preventing tomb raiders from stealing burial goods and desecrating the former king. If, in the event of an emergency, someone does enter this underground tomb, simply crushing the talisman will cause the protective barrier to self-destruct, leading to the collapse of the entire tomb and burying the intruder!
This type of tomb defense method is similar to that of ancient Huaxia tombs, with features like the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Tile Top, which is extremely insidious and ruthless.
The entire underground tomb was in chaos, even exhibiting turbulent energy flows. In such a place, unless one is Legendary mage specializing in Teleport, they cannot even use Teleport and have no way to teleport away.
The tomb is too deep and too far from the entrance/exit; escaping would be extremely difficult!
Jiang Jie smiled bitterly.
The protective barrier was so ingeniously designed that it collapsed from the outside in. The entrance passage to the tomb has now collapsed, making it impossible to get out.
Jiang Jie wasn't actually worried; even under these circumstances, he wouldn't die.
If he cultivates the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to the Xiantian Seventh Layer, he can go without breathing for several hours without any problem. He can then use his sword to dig a passage to leave without dying.
As for King Thoradin, he was already an Undead, so he didn't need to breathe and could simply crawl out.
The problem is, this will waste too much time.
The collapse of the tomb will surely attract Detheroc's attention, and when I emerge, I'll definitely be discovered. Being exposed is a minor issue; what if Detheroc is waiting for me with a large group of people?
You really could die!
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
"Come with me."
King Thoradin turned and walked deeper into the tomb.
The tomb is collapsing from the outside in and from top to bottom, but it hasn't collapsed to this point yet. Why is King Thoradin continuing to walk inwards? Isn't he courting death?
Jiang Jie believed that King Thoradin wouldn't want to die again, so he gritted his teeth and followed him.
