Duque suddenly remembered what was going on.
He'd always thought that as long as he didn't fight directly, a super boss like Gul 'dan wouldn't notice him. Actually, Duque had definitely taken it for granted. He wasn't a nobody. He'd become a deputy commander of the Alliance and had so many outstanding achievements. There was no way Gul 'dan hadn't heard of him.
It wasn't like Duque didn't know that Gul 'dan had tried to enter a dream to steal Medivh's power and pry into Medivh's knowledge. Coincidentally, Gul' dan had been stabbed by Duque at that time. Gul 'dan, who was in the mental link, had fallen into a coma, causing the Shadow Council to be raided by Orgrim.
But humans were like this. They always had some wishful thinking.
Now, Duque had paid a terrible price for this wishful thinking.
Curse!
Yes, it was the "gift" that Sargeras had left for Duque before he'd been sent into the abyss.
At that time, this curse had been split into three parts. The biggest part had been taken by Alan, and the result was that it had turned to dust. About a third had been taken by Anduin Lothar. Duke's injuries were probably less than a tenth of the total.
The effect had indeed been split, but Duque had forgotten that he was the main target of the curse.
The curse hadn't actually been removed. It was only because he hadn't injected any more power to continue the curse that it seemed to be ineffective.
Duque really hadn't expected that Gul 'dan would trigger this thing when he'd failed to forcibly control his soul in the dream. He'd screwed him over …
At that moment, on the ship, Gul 'dan opened his eyes.
"What an interesting fellow. Is he really only 16? He actually resisted my mental intimidation. "
The two-headed ogre hero Gugal touched his head with both hands at the same time. "Apart from that Medivh, there's actually a human who can resist your mental attack?"
Gul 'dan stroked his short beard. "No, I haven't done anything to this Duque. It's not that I can't, but that I'm not in the mood. In my opinion, to corrupt this kid's mind and control him, it would only take a little time. Of course, I can also destroy his soul. If I do that, Orgrim might benefit from it. "
"Then why do you want to kill him now?"
Gul 'dan was furious, "The stupid Alliance actually let Orgrim's main force escape! If I don't control Duque and use the Alliance to weaken the Horde, Orgrim might catch up to me and disrupt my plan. I have people from two clans here, so I can't walk fast at all. It's a pity that the control failed. Otherwise, I'd have plenty of time to explore Sargeras' tomb. "
In reality, Duque also realized that Gul 'dan probably wanted to use brute force to subdue him and then control his soul, turning him into a puppet. With a vice-commander of the Alliance as a puppet, whether it was to plot against Orgrim or for Gul 'dan to rule the world in the future, it would be very convenient.
But Gul 'dan didn't expect Duque to resist his soul pressure. In reality, when breaking through the Nightmare Realm he had created, Gul' dan had suffered some damage to his soul. Otherwise, why would Gul 'dan be so embarrassed and angry that he triggered the curse to kill Duque?
No matter what, Duque was in trouble.
After coming to this world, Duque had been training his body. But now, a single curse had caused Duque to become extremely weak.
No!
Duque screamed in his heart, but his mouth couldn't make a sound.
This wasn't the ending he wanted!
Through a series of struggles, his career was already on the right track, and he had reached a high position in the Alliance. After experiencing the cruel second battle at the Dark Portal, his influence in the Alliance would reach its peak.
Cultivating a godly technique, letting his name resound in heaven and hell, marrying a rich and beautiful woman, reaching the peak of life, this was the ending that a transmigrator should have!
But what the hell was this? That curse was madly absorbing his life force again!?
No — I can't die here.
Duque tried to use his magic, such as [Ice Barrier], to use the absolute ice element to dispel all negative effects.
But, he couldn't activate the instant magic that he had tried thousands of times.
Not only that, he couldn't contact the system elf either.
Duque tried to do anything but failed.
Only his eyeballs could move — yes, he was paralyzed.
Both his body and soul were like this.
He faintly knew that this was the soul attack that Gul 'dan had given him before dispelling the Dream Realm.
Now, Duque's mind became even more blank. He could only watch as Vanessa screamed in shock and approached him, while Gavin Rad reached out his large hand to touch his face.
This first contact allowed him to feel something for the first time since he was paralyzed. Gavin Rad's hand was filled with Holy Light, but the places he touched felt like they were being burned by fire.
It was painful, so painful that his brain felt like it was melting. In his daze, Duque only felt that a deep wound had appeared on his face.
"[Exorcism]!" Gavin Rad let out a thunderous roar.
Duque seemed to have woken up. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, only to find that there was no wound at all.
"Did you hear what I said? Duque! Don't move, and focus on receiving my [Holy Light]. " Gavin Rad turned and glanced at Ilusia, who had rushed out of the room next door, and shouted, "Inform Wuther immediately! It's best if you call Antonidas too! "
Duque opened his heart, allowing the sea of Holy Light to rush into his body and soul.
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh —"
Inhale, exhale.
Inhale, exhale, inhale again, and exhale again.
Originally, the beating of the heart and breathing of the lungs were absolutely normal things for a living person, but for Duque, they had become movements that he had to use his own will to forcibly command his body to do. Moreover, every movement was accompanied by pain.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans emerged from Duque's forehead and all the pores on his body, rolling down. Vanessa, who was waiting on him at the side, could not get close to him no matter how agile she was.
The intelligent Ilusia was the first to inform Antonidas. This top human mage had rushed over quickly, and even brought Wuther with him through a teleportation door.
Fortunately, Duque had taken Gavin Rad as his bodyguard, and fortunately, a few key figures in the Alliance were free, so Duque's condition quickly stabilized.
After a consultation with a group of big shots other than Alonsos, they came to a shocking conclusion — if left alone, Duque's life force would be depleted within a month, and he would die of exhaustion.
