It was exactly the same voice, and even the aristocratic manner of speaking and accent had been imitated.
Lothar and Garona, who were beside Duque, looked like they had seen a ghost. If it weren't for the fact that the sword in their hands didn't show any signs of Duque being possessed by a demon, Lothar would have slashed him.
Although they couldn't see Sargeras's expression, Sargeras clearly wasn't interested in the trivial matter of a middle-ranked demon teaching a low-ranked demon a lesson. Demons themselves were also divided into different ranks. Low-ranked demons such as imps and inferior demons were even worse than cannon fodder in front of their boss, Sargeras.
"Hmph." Sargeras, who was busy every day, snorted coldly, and then his will retreated.
Lothar, Garona, and Duque looked at each other.
Duque suddenly sighed to Lothar. "Fortunately, you weren't impulsive."
Lothar curled his lips. "I should be the one saying that to you. I've lived for more than 40 years, and I'm long past the age of impulsiveness. If impulsiveness and sacrifice can solve the problem, of course I don't mind. But I'm not only the kingdom's military commander, but I also shoulder the hopes of Laing and the entire kingdom's people. Before I see Medivh, I won't expose myself. "
Garona was curious about Duque's voice change. "How did you change your voice?"
Duque rolled his eyes and argued. "If you know, then you're a mage."
What should he say? That the system elf helped him complete the temporary voice change?
That was nonsense.
Since there was no way to explain it, he might as well push it to the realm of mystery.
The assault team returned to their marching formation.
Garona explored the way in front, while Lothar protected Duque as he moved forward.
After entering the back door of Karazhan, the space was chaotic. Many times, there was no path at all, only a teleportation portal that emitted an illusory light. One could only judge whether to go in or not by the faint aura coming from the other side of the portal.
Moreover, most portals were one-way.
However, Duque relied on the system elf and didn't go the wrong way.
Even Lothar was surprised. Because he also found that his team should be moving higher and higher in Karazhan. "Duque, how did you do it? You discovered the pattern of the portal? "
"No, I judged it based on the humidity of the air, the dust, and the density of magic power."
"The density of the magic power …" Noxus pondered.
In fact, Duque was also talking nonsense. Being rich in mana was the most unreliable factor in Karazhan. Because this place was connected to the Astral World, there were all kinds of Astral World creatures. This kind of spatial rift that crossed worlds was completely unpredictable. He still relied on the Karazhan in his memory, and then let the system elf simulate and compare the nearby environment.
Although there were still times when he was wrong, most of the time his choice was correct.
However, Duque's appearance had turned many terrifying risks into controllable ones.
[Astral Flare]: A high-energy spherical object that shines with light.
If it weren't for Duque, the team would have suffered a shocking number of casualties. Because this thing would self-destruct.
As a veteran, no, a veteran player, Duque immediately associated this thing with the annoying monster in his memory.
He turned an Arcane Impact into a palm and hit the incoming Astral Flare away.
Seeing the Astral Flare explode violently, Noxus was tongue-tied. "Are you sure this thing won't alarm Medivh?"
Duque tilted his head. "No, there's a huge astral rift here. Flare explosions happen every day. Here, even if you bring a few hundred people to a party, Medivh won't care."
Another example was the [Ethereal Thief].
This monster was very unfriendly to melee professions. Although it had a human form wrapped in bandages, it was an unmistakable Astral World creature in its bones. They could create a distorted space, temporarily taking away a person's strength and reducing their agility.
After only staying in the spatial distortion for a dozen seconds, Noxus's face was already pale. When Duque used an instant Pyroblast to teach the Ethereal Thief a lesson, Noxus's weak legs instantly regained their strength.
After who knew how long, Duque and the others arrived outside a huge library.
Duque frowned.
He knew which boss was inside.
"You stay outside. I'll talk to 'that person' inside. If it doesn't work, I'll call you in. But it'd be best if Noxus and Garona come in. After all, other people will only be a burden. "
"You know who's inside?" Noxus raised an eyebrow.
"I do. He's left a deep mark in the kingdom's history."
Duke went in alone. He stayed inside for a full ten minutes, but there was no sound of movement. Ten minutes later, Duque came out calmly. "Let's go. We avoided a battle. "
Noxus asked tentatively, "Is there anything we need to know?"
"Yes, we might have reinforcements."
"You convinced the guy inside?"
"Sort of."
Along the way, Duque and the others arrived at a huge hall. There were many arcades and tall marble pillars on both sides of the hall.
In the middle of the hall, on a high platform made of black and white tiles, there was a sudden flash of light. After the light disappeared, a group of figures appeared …
Noxus couldn't stay calm at all. He saw his best friend and king, 'Laing'.
That 'Laing' was so realistic that Noxus almost shouted out loud. Not only Noxus, but the elite soldiers behind Noxus also made a low commotion.
However, whether it was' Laing 'or the people around him, none of them moved. The same was true for the ferocious orcs opposite him.
"This is …"
Of course, this was the Karazhan Chess stage. Since there was already Evil Hoof and 'that person' in front of them, Duque was not surprised at all by the appearance of Karazhan Chess.
"It seems that we're going to play a game of chess." Duque shrugged. He walked in front of a strange human-shaped statue.
Suddenly, a voice came from the statue directly into the minds of Duque, Noxus, Garona, and all the soldiers.
"You and your friend, are you ready to become a chess piece on the battlefield and join this battle?"
Duque was slightly stunned. This seemed to be different from the Karazhan Chess he knew.
On the other side, Noxus had already raised his head and replied, "We're ready."
The next moment, a white light emerged from everyone's body. In a completely conscious state, they suddenly found that their souls had been extracted and attached to the chess pieces on the black and white chessboard.
The voice of the statue came again.
"Fight — fight — the souls of the losers will be destroyed. And the winner will receive a reward. "As the voice fell, everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Not only because this was a battle of souls, but also because there were so many more chess pieces on the other side!
