The Alliance was getting stronger and stronger.
However, after Duque came to power 15 years after the Dark Portal, the new ballads that were sung in the taverns lacked a sense of history.
A victory without sacrifice could preserve vitality to the greatest extent, but on the other hand, it couldn't sharpen the strongest will.
Gradually, Duque discovered that there was an uncontrollable blind optimism in the upper echelons of the Alliance.
Yes, the three leaders of the Burning Legion had fallen, or at least that was what it looked like.
The two ancient gods had also been defeated.
What could stop the Alliance's hero team?
No one said it, but that was what they all thought.
In such a good situation, it seemed that everyone was a little complacent.
Duque couldn't imagine what would happen if they continued to maintain this mentality when facing the Burning Legion's apocalyptic attack.
But he couldn't deliberately lose a battle of this level.
He could only hope that there would be a suitable battle!
It was difficult.
"Phew …" Letting out a long breath, Duque's eyes became determined.
He understood his future path a little bit — to delegate power and let the leaders face the storm alone.
This path might be difficult, and it would be accompanied by blood and sacrifice, but it was necessary!
But before that, he had to defeat Arthis first!
The magic that was bombarding him seemed to have nothing to do with Duque anymore. He fell into a strange state of tranquility.
Atiesh was raised high in his left hand as if to show off, and the bright arcane light almost blinded Malygos' Ghost Eyes. In fact, Duke's right hand, which was behind his back, was actually holding his [Song of Light and Shadow]!
"System elf, activate Arcane Storm in ten seconds!"
"Understood."
In ten seconds, the situation on the battlefield, which had almost become a fixed pattern, suddenly changed.
Malygos was caught off guard by this fierce attack that came almost without warning.
The aura of almost squeezing out every drop of magic power really shocked Malygos.
According to his estimation, not only did Duque exhaust the magic power of the magic circuit in his body, but he also didn't let go of the magic power of the external magic net circuit attached to it.
For a mage like Duque who grew up in the orthodox way, arcane magic was the absolute foundation.
Without the support of the Arcana Technique, it would be difficult for him to use the Ice and Fire Elements smoothly.
Duque's actions were tantamount to destroying his own foundation, at least in the short term.
"Is Duque mad at me? Or is Sylvanas really his reverse scale? Malygos sneered in his heart.
Both of them were top-notch Magic Elemental Elemental Magic. In a situation where both of them had similar levels of Mystery and concentration of Elemental Magic, the deciding factor of victory was no longer magical techniques.
The key to victory was usually the amount of elemental reserves, vitality, and magic resistance of each other.
From Malygos' point of view, he had the support of the Lich King's magical ley line, while Duque had the magic net that connected the four major Elemental Realms. In a situation where they could not cut off each other's elemental supply, this battle would become a long one.
That was exactly what he wanted. He believed that the Lich King would finish his battle before the outcome of this battle was decided.
It would be difficult for Sylvanas, who only used the wind element, to break through Arthas' defense. While the power of lightning was impressive, it would be difficult to defeat Arthas, who had the home advantage. When her offensive weakened, it would be the end of the battle, and Arthas, who had more stamina, would win.
Malygos did not know that Duque had made the same judgment faster than him.
Tens of thousands of arcane energy beams, which looked like turbulence but were actually precisely calculated by the system, shot out in less than a hundredth of a second. They collided with each other, and then bounced out at all kinds of unimaginable angles like pinball balls.
Faced with such an exaggerated and seemingly chaotic group attack, Malygos did not react at first. He thought that it was absolutely random.
That was until he saw, to his shock, that the ice storm he had pushed out to meet the arcane storm was easily destroyed.
Every ice prism was blown up by an arcane energy ray that was shot at the most scorching angle at the most precise angle.
Be it large or small, the Ice Elemental Clusters were all scattered, turning into true elemental turbulence.
For the first time, Malygos found that he had lost control of his large-scale spell.
The ice tornado, which should have been spinning wildly in a clockwise direction, suddenly showed signs of collapsing.
Left with no choice, Malygos roared and stretched out his claws, using almost all the Ice Elemental Clusters he could summon at that moment to pour into the ice tornado in front of him.
Under his all-out attack, the ice tornado, which had been slightly scattered and shrinking, expanded again. Its size was at least twice as large as before.
But Malygos immediately realized that something was wrong.
The Arcane Storm's energy beam was still spicy and tricky, but the total amount of arcane elements injected was obviously not right. This was a classic case of a lack of follow-up.
Arthas could not completely exclude other elements from entering the fortress, so naturally, he could not completely cut off the magic power and elemental supply from the magic net to Duque.
This seemingly unexplained drop …
"Hah!" Malygos roared angrily and spat out a mouthful of dragon breath at Duque.
The former Dragon King's dragon breath was powerful.
But in the eyes of an elemental sculpting expert like Malygos, dragon breath was simply a torrent of energy. It was powerful, but the efficiency of using the elements was too low.
He couldn't care so much.
Under his nervous gaze, he didn't know if he was lucky or not.
The dragon breath that gathered the incomparably pure Ice Elemental Clusters was like a raging wave. It easily eliminated the interference of the large and small Arcane Energy Beams and hit Duque, who was originally standing on the steps of the square.
There was no Ice Barrier, no Magic Shield, not even a trace of panic.
The moment before Duque was completely engulfed by the Frost Dragon Breath, Malygos saw the mocking smile on Duque's lips.
That was the smile of a cunning scheme succeeding!
At that moment, Malygos felt that his heart, which had stopped beating long ago, seemed to have regained its vitality. Then, because of the most intense shock, it suddenly jumped.
"Not good!" Malygos cried out.
"It's too late!" At that moment, a hundred meters above Malygos' head, an arcane energy cluster that seemed to be unable to cause any damage to the Dracolich suddenly exploded. The real Duque appeared.
At the same time, Duque shot out like a cannonball and crashed into Malygos at high speed.
With a thought from the Dracolich, Ice Dragon Ghosts of various sizes appeared in the void beside him.
They opened their mouths and released countless powerful Ice Elemental Magic attacks. These spells hit Duque, who was charging down at high speed. It was like a surging wave crashing into the bow of an icebreaker and then parting to the sides. However, the "waves" that were knocked away were made of white Ice Elemental Lines.
