(The Spring Festival is just around the corner, and I'm too busy to guarantee updates, but there will be at least two chapters. I apologize in advance.)
Behind the Wrathgate, Arthas, standing amidst countless Undead, clenched his fist.
After the second flying fortress crashed, he led a large group of Undead to intercept Jiang Jie.
Then, in the third flying fortress, he witnessed Jiang Jie's true power.
The overwhelming power of the twin dragons of light and darkness left him with no way to resist, and he was ultimately forced to flee.
Even though this is Icecrown Glacier, and even though he can unleash several times his strength here with Frostmourne, he is still no match for Jiang Jie.
Not nearly enough!
He couldn't withstand Jiang Jie's attack at all. Even though he mobilized his Demigod- level frost power and instantly condensed enough ice to freeze the entire flying fortress, he still couldn't stop Jiang Jie's twin dragons of light and darkness.
Because that's not his power.
Even after three years, his strength was still only that of an ordinary Legendary, not even as good as Uther.
Even if one could mobilize Demigod- level frost power, it would be like a child swinging a heavy hammer—how much power could one possibly unleash?
Then, he sensed the spiritual power sweeping across the entire Icecrown Glacier —the power of the new Lich King.
Even the Lich King couldn't forcibly take away the Undead that were already under his Frostmourne's control, but the number of Undead directly controlled by Arthas was actually not large, only about 100,000.
The other Undead, most of Undead, are scattered throughout Icecrown Glacier, manipulated and controlled by Undead, Lich, and Death Knight.
The most elite Undead had already been largely Devastation with the collapse of the Wrathgate and Icecrown Citadel.
In other words, from the moment King Thoradin took action, the Scourge was actually reduced to only tens of thousands of men; the rest of the Undead had fallen under King Thoradin's control.
Arthas even sensed the betrayal of many Undead.
With King Thoradin's help, one intelligent Undead after another broke free from his control and joined King Thoradin ranks, taking with them the lower-ranking Undead they controlled.
The Undead. The Undead directly controlled by Arthas would be completely annihilated in the next few days, and everything, the entire Icecrown Glacier, would fall into the hands of King Thoradin.
Arthas wanted to laugh.
Everything was like a farce.
The Scourge? The Lich King?
hehe.
From the very beginning, the Lich King and the Scourge were merely pawns in Kil'jaeden's hands. Even those not-so-powerful Dreadlord dared to boss the Lich King Ner'zhul around. Tichondrius didn't even take Ner'zhul seriously, because Ner'zhul was just a prisoner imprisoned in the Frozen Throne.
That's why Ner'zhul planned so much for freedom, to escape Kil'jaeden's control, only to ultimately lead himself there.
To call it a fusion is actually an attempt to devour his soul, obtain his body, and become the true Lich King.
Arthas also had his own plans.
Confident in his own power, he planned to follow Ner'zhul's wishes, don the Lich King Helm, Devastation Ner'zhul's soul, and become the true Lich King.
He, too, wanted to break free from his fate and take revenge on the Burning Legion.
Unfortunately, everything was Devastation by Jiang Jie.
He did not give up, and the House Menethil will never give up.
He continued his efforts, planning and deploying troops in all directions, doing everything in his power to expand the Scourge.
Then Naxxramas was gone, Kel'Thuzad died, Sindragosa died, and The Acherus: The Ebon Hold was gone.
Who is he?
After Kil'jaeden, even the Old Gods Yogg-Saron treated him like a toy, a toy that could be discarded at any time!
The Lich King?
It's just a toy.
He was not even as good as the Lich King.
So, isn't the new Lich King just a toy too?
A toy being played with!
Arthas bowed his head.
He looked at Frostmourne in his hand, half of his soul still within it. He had sacrificed his soul for revenge, but it was in vain.
The tide has turned!
Arthas knew he had lost, undeniably lost.
He was already defeated the moment the Wrathgate and Icecrown Citadel Devastation.
Even though he still has tens of thousands of Undead, so what?
That flying creature can no longer be defeated by sheer numbers.
escape?
Where can we escape to?
How could the heir of the House Menethil possibly escape?
Or should you heed the whisper that has been echoing in your ear, completely surrender to the Old Gods Yogg-Saron, travel to the depths of Ulduar or the Spider Kingdom, accept the power bestowed upon you by Yogg-Saron, and become a true Dark Knights King?
No, no, the heirs of the House Menethil will never submit to anyone, not even a human, but an incomparably powerful Old Gods.
I wouldn't have done that before, and I won't do it now.
Never!
" Nicholas, I'm here waiting for you, waiting for your battle!"
Arthas unleashed his mental power, and his voice entered Jiang Jie's mind.
He stood still, ignoring the fierce fighting around him, and instead focused his mind and fully mobilized all his strength.
He needs to get into peak condition; he wants to fight Jiang Jie!
He has many informants in Lordaeron, and many nobles are on his side. He knows about the relationship between Jiang Jie and Calia.
So if he had to die, he would rather die at Jiang Jie's hands.
There are currently only two members of the House Menethil in this world: him and his sister.
He couldn't die at his sister's hands, so he'd die at his sister's man's hands.
" The House Menethil can only be defeated by the House Menethil!"
Jiang Jie heard Arthas's voice and responded.
Soon, he sprouted wings from his sides and flew to Arthas.
" Nicholas."
Arthas's voice rang out. "You and Calia have a child?"
Jiang Jie was taken aback, not expecting Arthas to even know this. The Cult of the Damned was indeed as terrifying as ever. He nodded and said, "He's about to be born. His name is Thoradin Menethil, and he will be the King of Lordaeron."
" The Menethil bloodline has not been severed after all."
Arthas raised Frostmourne, pointing it at Jiang Jie: "Come, let's settle this! Let's see if I kill you, or if you grant me release!"
"I will grant you liberation, Arthas. You are a pitiful man, and somewhat hateful nonetheless. You are a man manipulated by fate, yet you have always fought against it. Without the Lich King, perhaps you would have been the greatest king in the history of Lordaeron."
Jiang Jie raised his hands, and Holy Light and shadow condensed into two swords.
He clasped his hands together, and the two swords merged into one, transforming into a sword of light and darkness.
The perfect fusion of Holy Light and shadow is the form of the divine sword Strom'kar.
This sword of light and darkness is even stronger than the divine sword Strom'kar!
Jiang Jie and Arthas attacked simultaneously.
The next moment, a crisp sound rang out from within a flash of light.
The Frostmourne, broken in two, floated in mid-air, from which countless souls surged and flowed into Arthas's body.
He sighed, his soul being torn apart by countless other souls.
He deserved it.
"Finally... liberation!"
