At this moment, the expressions on the faces of all those who witnessed this scene froze.
Probably everyone had the same thought in their minds – Holy shit! How could this happen!?
Others might not know what this ice crystal skull was.
Duque must know.
In order to punish Ner 'zhul for being half-hearted and running away, Kil' jaeden played hardcore SM games with Ner 'zhul. When Ner' zhul's body was completely destroyed, his bones turned to ashes, and he could no longer repair his cultivation, Ner 'zhul's soul was stuffed into this ice crystal skeleton.
This was a cruel punishment that just thinking about it made people feel horrible.
Without a body, the soul also lost its freedom. It was bound in an ice skull, suffering day and night like a frozen hell of soul torture.
This was the terrifying side of the ice skull.
On the other hand, it was undeniable that this thing was also the most powerful soul power amplifier.
With it, Ner 'zhul's soul could control his undead subordinates from a super long distance. He could easily cross space and extend his soul touch thousands of miles away.
Under the effect of the strengthened spiritual power, Ner 'zhul could also perform super long-distance casting that mortals dared not imagine.
Duque never thought that in order to trick him, Arthas would force a part of his soul into this crystal skull that his other half (Ner 'zhul) refused to enter even if he was beaten to death.
Sure enough, ambitious people were ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to themselves?
Using a part of the Lich King's soul to control the crystal skull, he used the soul energy stored under the Ice Throne to directly shoot at Naxxramas, and then shot at Duque. As long as no one fought him in close combat, who would find out that this Lich King, who seemed to be so powerful, was actually a fake!?
As for Arthas's own body, he secretly ran to the City of Calamity to cause trouble.
With such a diversion, it could be said that Duque's loss was not undeserved.
Both sides had stopped fighting at the same time.
Violent elemental turbulence was left in the surroundings, and under the impact of the Weave's mana, the ice elementals were like thousands of silver snakes twisting in a frenzy.
Looking at each other from afar, the Icecrown Glacier was still as cold as ever, causing Duke's cloak to flutter.
Duque suddenly interjected, "Arthis, you could've used this technique on a much larger scale. Who knows, he might be able to scam me even more ruthlessly. Is it worth it for you to catch an Anastrian and a Dranos? "
"Worth it?" Arthis's image was projected on the crystal helmet, and there was a hint of laughter in her voice: "A mere leader of the Forgotten Ones isn't worth my effort. I'm doing this for you! Duke Marcus — "
"Me?" Duque was a little surprised.
"Yes! I have to admit, you are too scary! It's so terrifying that even though I've become a Lich King, I can still feel suffocated. No, it's an oppressive feeling that my soul could be annihilated at any moment. "
He was a little surprised that Arthis would actually admit to her cowardice.
"Huh?" A playful expression appeared on Duque's face.
"I grew up listening to legends about you. Ever since I took charge, I've never won against you. Even after embarking on the path of a Death Knight, I've never won against you. You stole my lover! You took away the victory that belonged to me! Over and over again! Over and over again! Almost every step I took was predicted by you! Then, you gave me an incomparably painful blow! "
Speaking up to this point, the projection of Arthis touched her shoulders, and then touched her waist, where Duque had once broken them.
"When I fused with Ner 'zhul to become a true Lich King, I not only gained power, but also an even more despairing experience of failure. It wasn't until that moment that he and I realized that you had already become a nightmare for both of us. You're simply the most hateful and terrifying nightmare. Your existence itself is the biggest obstacle to our hegemony. "
Duque's face was filled with the word 'embarrassment'.
The Second Fool continued to vent his emotions: "In these twenty years, we've never won against you even once! Fighting against you is simply fighting against fate itself! We're not satisfied! So even if it's a small victory, I have to win against you – Duke Marcus! "
Hearing this, Duque only wanted to reply to the Second Fool: Motherf * cking retard!
Duque completely understood that these two poor fellows had already been abused like dogs by him, and had a serious psychological shadow.
He didn't know if shivering plus shivering would become the square of shivering.
In any case, for this kind of big villain, Duque didn't care if they died. Oh, no, they were already dead. Then let them eat sh * t.
Perhaps, this was the general trend.
The original Lich King Arthis in history was so domineering.
Because of this, Duque had long planned to abuse him more and more fiercely over the years.
Well, this could be counted as a big explosion of accumulation.
An Arthis with a flaw in his heart was easier to deal with than the Second Fool who was full of confidence and arrogance.
Now, in order to win against Duque once, he paid an unequal amount of power.
How to put it?
Duque shrugged and spread his hands. "Well, you beat me once, I hope you can be so talented or so lucky next time!"
This confrontation could only end with a small victory for the Lich King. If the fight continued, Duque could at most crush the crystal skull. That thing could also be considered a divine artifact, but it was insignificant to Arthis, so Duque wasn't interested in destroying it.
Now that he knew, he would be prepared in the future. The value of that thing was about the same as a pebble on the side of the road.
In the City of Calamity, a hundred kilometers away.
After confirming that all the coalition forces in the City of Calamity were dead, Kael 'thas gave the order to open fire.
This was destined to be in vain.
As one of the few magic veins in the Icecrown Glacier area, the City of Calamity had an extremely strong supply of magic.
With Arthis in charge, the bombardment of magic cannons was nothing more than a meaningless battle of elemental energy.
Using elemental energy from afar to fight with elemental energy absorbed on the spot was as ridiculous and futile as using water from afar to put out a nearby fire.
After venting for a while, Kael 'thas understood the reason. Without needing Duque's reminder, he directly ordered the Dalajan to retreat.
After all, the Dalajan was not a purely offensive flying fortress. If too much of the magic of the Magic Net was overdrawn, in the end, the Dalajan would crash into the enemy's formation at any moment. This was not worth it.
Seeing the Dalajan retreat, Arthis did not chase after them. With a wave of his hand, he directly ordered the remaining Scourge soldiers to retreat through the top of the Door of Death, Mordressa, to the Evil Castle of Malekaris in the center of the Icecrown Glacier.
