The interior of the Great Hollow was in complete chaos.
Fangzheng was tightly surrounded by two Undead Giants and a Flesh Golem. On the other side, Stone and Marte were working together to deal with the Undead Emissary. The other Paladins were not having a good time either. They were surrounded by another Flesh Golem and a dozen or so skeleton soldiers. They were also struggling and looked like they would not be able to hold on much longer.
What should I do?
Fangzheng thought carefully as he stared vigilantly at the two Undead Giants in front of him. The appearance of the Whitebone Duke was completely out of his expectations. In Fangzheng's opinion, the current situation could not get any worse. Even Stone and Marte together could not kill an undead creature summoned by the Whitebone Duke. In this case, it would be difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone destroy the ritual.
The Flesh Golem and the Undead Giants were equally troublesome. The Flesh Golem seemed to be unkillable. Fangzheng had torn it to pieces more than once with Divine Storm, but it was of no use. Even if it had been reduced to a piece of ragged cloth with holes everywhere, it would still stubbornly attack Fangzheng. Coupled with the two tall Undead Giants, even Fangzheng had to dodge.
"Damn it … If only Stone and Marte weren't here …."
After another roll to avoid the Undead Giant's attack, Fangzheng gripped the longsword in his right hand, dragged it behind him, and swung it forward. The Void Slicing Sword whistled through the air and slashed at the Undead Giant's head, leaving a deep wound on it. The Undead Giant, who suffered the heavy blow, roared and half-knelt on the ground. Just as Fangzheng was about to go up and finish it off, a long object that looked like minced meat suddenly sprang out from the side. A human mouth appeared at the top of it, and it screamed as it charged at Fangzheng.
Again?
Hearing the strange and chilling voice, Fangzheng's eyes narrowed. He helplessly dodged back. This flesh puppet had almost been ground to dust by him. But even so, this thing didn't look like it would be destroyed at all. Instead, it became more and more difficult to deal with. Fangzheng tried a few Paladin skills, but none of them worked. Maybe he should use five fireballs to burn his opponent to a crisp?
Unfortunately, Fangzheng did not have Jaina in his Soul Stone. As for whether psionic energy would work on undead creatures … Fangzheng did not have much hope.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The flesh golem rushed over again. Fangzheng raised the Space Breaker Sword in his hand and a golden shield appeared in front of him. The flesh golem slammed into the golden shield and screamed as it retreated. However, Fangzheng did not let go of this opportunity. He raised the Sky Splitting Sword and swung it forward.
Adjudicate!
The golden holy light instantly enveloped the Flesh Golem, and under the bombardment of the omnipresent holy energy, the Flesh Golem let out another bloodcurdling scream, and its originally erect body began to soften. Although it was a bloodless and tearless puppet, undead creatures were naturally restrained by holy energy.
Taking advantage of the moment when the flesh golem "softened", Fangzheng strode past it and swung the Sky Splitting Sword again without hesitation, completely beheading the Undead Giant. The Undead Giant, which had been seriously injured before and had not even had time to stand up, fell to the ground. It was as dead as it could be.
Finally, one of them was killed!
Fangzheng took a deep breath, but the death of the Undead Giant did not make him feel very happy. The Undead Giant, the flesh golem and even the Deathbringer were just small characters. Fangzheng did not forget that there was still a powerful Lich above them, one of the five members of the Death Council, the Lord of the Lich, Whitebone Duke Frank.
Fangzheng did not know how powerful he was, but judging from the looks of Stone and Matt, he should not be much weaker than Kel 'Thuzad. Although he could deal more than 250% holy damage to the undead because of his title and various bonuses, there was still a limit to that. If he was dealing with ordinary undead creatures, he could still kill them instantly, but against these high-levelled creatures with thick skin, the weakness of his low attack power would immediately be revealed.
What should I do next? How much longer do I have to wait?
Fangzheng clenched his left hand and glanced around. If he was the only one here, Fangzheng would not hesitate to activate Arthas' Soul Stone. The Lord of the Lich might be scary, but the Lich King … Well, at least not too bad.
But not now. Matt and Stone were still here, and the characteristics of the Lich King were too obvious. Once Fangzheng activated the Soul Stone, he was sure that the two would immediately confirm his identity. When that happened, everything he had painstakingly built would be in vain. He had spent so much effort to break into the inner sanctum of the Holy Cathedral, not to escape without enjoying any benefits.
Of course, Fangzheng was also prepared. He had an invincible skill in his hand, ready to activate if the situation was not right. This was one of the reasons why Fangzheng was so confident. Fortunately, Prince Arthas had learned all the skills of a Paladin, or else he would have been in a more passive position.
But if things went on like this, they would still die.
Frankly speaking, Fangzheng admired the two Great Knights, Stone and Matt. If it was that crazy woman named Connie, he would have activated the Lich King by now. At most, he would just kill that crazy woman and frame the Lich King. Fangzheng did not like killing people, but he would not be polite to those who wanted to kill him.
As for Shi Dong and Matt, if possible, Fangzheng still hoped that they could survive. It was not only because he had a good relationship with them, but also because they had a good relationship with him. Furthermore, they were rather influential in the Holy Temple. Fangzheng was not sure whether such people were the mainstream in the Holy Cathedral, but whether they were or not, one more friend was one more way out.
But now, it seemed that this hope was somewhat slim. More importantly, what was the Lich King trying to do?
Thinking until here, Fangzheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The Lich King's strength was enough to crush all of them. Just now, it had heavily injured Shi Dong. Even if Matt joined in, they would not be any better off. It only needed an AOE skill to annihilate all of them. So what was it waiting for now? Could it be that this kind of BOSS has a hobby of watching its enemies die after being tortured?
While cursing in his heart, Fangzheng swept a glance at the sky and suddenly widened his eyes in shock.
Gone!
The Lich King who should have been there disappeared!
For a moment, Fangzheng even thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He blinked his eyes and quickly looked around. Finally, he was sure that while they were fighting the damn undead creatures, the Lich King actually sneaked away?
What was he trying to do?
"Teacher, Great Knight Matt, the Lich is gone!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's voice, the two Great Knights who were entangled with the Death Messenger were taken aback. They lifted their heads and looked around, only to discover that the Lich King had really disappeared!
What's going on?
The battle continued, but everyone was scratching their heads in confusion. Just like Fangzheng, none of them thought that they could scare off the Lich King. Even Shi Dong and Matt were the same. In fact, they were only struggling. This was the instinctive resistance and survival instinct of humans. They were also clear that they weren't a match for the Whitebone Duke. They also understood that the Lich King would never let them go.
After all, wasn't the core principle of the Death Council 'better dead than alive'?
But now, the Whitebone Duke actually left?
What was going on?
"BOOM!!"
Suddenly, at this moment, a deep sound echoed. Upon hearing this sound, both sides were taken aback. Although the sound of the collision wasn't loud, it seemed to have a special attraction. Even the least intelligent Undead Giant turned his head and stared in the direction of the sound. Fangzheng, like everyone else, also looked in that direction.
It was the center of the magic circle, and there was a huge sarcophagus on it. The sound came from the sarcophagus.
"BOOM!!"
Just as everyone looked at it, the sarcophagus shook violently again. At this time, Fangzheng realized that there were dozens of thick chains tied around the sarcophagus! And now, those chains were cracked from the impact and even showed signs of falling off!
Wait a minute!
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly thought of something.
Great Knight Matt said that the Lich was planning to hold a ritual here, which was why they came to stop it. When they arrived, everything seemed normal, so Fangzheng didn't pay much attention to it. But now, he suddenly thought of a problem.
What if the Lich King's ritual was already over before they arrived?
What if he was just waiting for us to arrive?
At this thought, Fangzheng's face instantly turned ashen.
