Anyone with the slightest elemental sensitivity could sense that the remaining Shadow Power was rapidly dissipating from Arthas' body.
In a sense, the Demon Sword [Frostmourne] was the true form of the Lich King.
When the runic sword was destroyed, all the power belonging to the Lich King naturally dissipated.
Watching Arthis die in the truest sense of the word, everyone present felt a sense of loss and a strange emptiness in their hearts for some reason.
Even though a heinous evil sect leader had died, they felt as though they had lost a hero.
Arthas' last sentence seemed to be telling everyone that he regretted what he had done in the past and had given up on the pursuit of reincarnation.
In Azeroth, a person could become a vengeful spirit after death and be bound to a certain place like a Earthbound Spirit. For example, in the Kalimdor Continent of Azshara, the vengeful spirits of the High Elves drifted in the ruins of the Ancient Elven Empire for ten thousand years.
Or, like Arthas, their spirits completely dissipated and returned to nothingness.
Duque muttered softly, "There is no heaven or hell here. We can only rely on ourselves … "
"Yes." Unknowingly, Duque's women gathered around him.
Not only Illucia, Jaina, and Tyrande, but even Sylvanas, who had become more independent after becoming the Blood Elf Queen, came over and gently tugged on Duque's sleeve.
A cold whistling sound came from the sky.
No one noticed that with the destruction of Arthas' soul, the Ice Throne had once again become a part of the Ice Crown Fortress and was no longer a floating platform in the void.
The domain around the Ice Crown Fortress had been removed.
Faced with the fortress suddenly exposed within the range of the cannons, Bu Laing almost wanted to order the entire army to open fire on the spot.
"Everyone, don't open fire! The Lich King Arthas has been defeated by the Alliance of Heroes! I repeat … "Duque's voice was transmitted through all the communication networks of the Alliance.
"Long live!"
"We've won!"
"Oh! Wait a minute! Why are those damned bones still attacking us? "
Discordant voices suddenly came from the communication networks.
The ownerless undead that had been blindly wandering around the Ice Crown Fortress suddenly seemed to have entered a berserk state as they attacked the allied army crazily.
If that was all, it would have been fine. What was even more terrifying was that even the skeletons of the Calamity soldiers that had been destroyed once on the ground began to assemble themselves again, turning into various deformed Skeletal Demons that attacked the coalition army.
This time, the allied forces were really caught off guard.
Fortunately, they had received strict training. For example, if the rear was ambushed, they should form a small defensive formation on the spot to cover each other and ensure that the team remained intact.
If there was a problem with the Icecrown Glacier, it was still within the realm of possibility.
What made Duque and the leaders of the Alliance change their expressions was the report of an attack on their homeland in the magic communication channel.
"Report! This was Eagle Nest Mountain! Damn it! So many troll skeleton soldiers! Heavens, those bones are attacking all living things, including Wildhammer dwarves and living trolls! "
"This is the Holy Light Chapel. We were ambushed! Those damned bones are actually hiding at the bottom of the lake! "
"This is the Satin Farm in the Western Wilderness, damn it! I saw Joshua's grandfather who had been dead for thirty years! Damn it! He's too strong! Are these elite skeletons? "
Every leader of the Alliance looked at each other. Although it was Kel 'Thuzad who controlled the Flying Fortress Naxxramas to wreak havoc in the Eastern Kingdom during the third Battle of the Dark Portal, no one knew that the Calamity Army had so many backup plans.
Magni said to Duque anxiously, "We need to go back and take charge of the situation immediately!"
"No! We have more important things to do! " At this time, Terenas' soul, who had been kneeling beside Arthas, slowly stood up. "I have been trapped in Frostmourne for more than ten years. In these days, I know more about the dark side of this world than any of you. "
"This …" Magni was speechless.
Everyone looked at the former leader of the Alliance.
Terenas shook his head. "This world has changed! Under the efforts of the two Lich Kings, the boundary between life and death has become very blurred. This is because the Lich King secretly changed part of the world's laws when the world's will was asleep. "
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. Who would have thought that Arthis would actually do such a thing during the ten years that she had been asleep?
"The Calamity Army has become a synonym for all the dead in the world. Without Master's command, the endless Calamity Army will only become more and more of a threat to this world. We cannot stop controlling it. There must always be a Lich King. "
After Terenas finished, the entire Alliance Hero Group almost went berserk.
"What?"
"Damn it! We launched this great expedition, sacrificed so many people, and wasted so many resources, not to kill a Lich King, so that the next Lich King can come to power and kill us! "
While everyone was arguing, Terenas reached out his hand and pointed at Darian Mograine. "Since Death Knights can join the righteous side, why can't we allow a Lich King who believes in the Holy Light and is willing to fight for the righteous cause of Azeroth?"
Terenas' words made sense, and no one could refute him.
"You mean …" Imriel tried to ask.
"If there is a strong man with a strong body that can withstand a large amount of Shadow Energy, and a strong will that will not be corrupted by the grievances of billions of Undead, he will become the new Lich King. One day, he will be the greatest help to the Alliance!" Terenas said with certainty.
Everyone was silent!
First, the strongest body was enough to eliminate everyone who had not reached Legendary Hero level.
Then, there was the condition of having a strong will.
In fact, the candidates had already been decided — Duque and Tirion!
Gavin Rad should have been able to do it, but ever since he became a Paladin who trained in Lightning, his direction of development was a little off.
Duque had endured the most terrifying Shadow Corruption, and he became the world's first Shadow Priest.
But obviously, Duque was not suitable!
Not only was he the supreme commander of the Alliance, but he was also the man of several Queens. Who could bear the thought of their own man becoming the King of the Undead!
Without the slightest hesitation, Theon stepped out of the ranks. He held [Ashbringer] in one hand and said loudly, "It seems that I am the only one who can bear this heavy burden. No one else can …"
