Chapter 168 The Heartless
The world is so wonderful.
Two superpowers are currently locked in fierce fighting on the outskirts of Dalaran, although the Alliance has temporarily withdrawn its defenses to the entrance of Alterac Valley.
The Forsaken army is clearing the rear, and the Scarlet Crusade scouts who were causing trouble everywhere have been driven away.
While continuing to pursue the Alliance provocateurs, the main force of Undercity also conducted aerial reconnaissance to encircle Dalaran.
On the northern shore of Lake Lordamere, towards Andorhal, the Queen personally led a large army to annihilate a portion of the Scourge lich. The battle was far more brutal than any fight between humans and the undead. However, with the Queen's support and the aid of her airships, it was only a matter of time before the Hand of Vengeance captured Andorhal, the gateway to the Western Plaguelands.
The Scourge's opportunistic attacks, or perhaps their premeditated schemes that failed, resulted in a relatively smooth battle. The mindless Scourge golems and the Undead Warriors of Undercity were no match for them.
If it weren't for the fact that Andorhal's lich minions significantly outnumbered Undercity's forces, thus holding back the Forsaken, Queen Sylvanas's arrival in Dalaran would have taken only a short while...
There are currently no reinforcements coming to Lorraine.
He had to rely on himself; as a spy infiltrating the enemy, he would always face a situation of isolation and helplessness.
No one can be trusted; the Forsaken's enemies are everywhere... even those like Eileen or Taylor, who have been brainwashed and controlled by the Church of the Forgotten Shadows. Taylor is now a dangerous individual; it was Taylor who exposed Lorraine.
With Eileen in the enemy's hands, he didn't care much about whether she lived or died.
If Eileen betrays him, he will not hesitate to punish her...
This junior sister seems incredibly loyal! She didn't even undergo the forced initiation of mind control magic, directly converting to the Forsaken Undead Research Association. All because the association's president is the legendary, most powerful human sorceress, the Guardian of Humanity, Lady Aegwynn, a legend...
Having long been accustomed to facing danger alone, Lorraine anticipated that she might be surrounded again.
At all times, he had his teachers by his side... He truly trusted only his teachers who had risked their lives for him. Although this trust wasn't absolute, it was mutual... mutual support.
"Teacher, how effective is my Eye of Light now?"
In this critical moment, Lorraine first consulted with experienced teachers for their advice.
"I don't know. Didn't I tell you that only by finding the Shadow Eye can you pair it with the Light Eye and obtain true power?"
Lorraine understood what her teacher was saying, but now, let alone finding the whereabouts of the Eye of Shadow, she couldn't even accomplish her main mission of entering Dalaran to rescue people. How could she possibly have a chance to find the Eye...? Finding the Eye was precisely to use it for her own purposes, to gain greater power to protect herself, wasn't it?
"The Tide Amulet works, fully charged. The Deception Orb couldn't possibly successfully fake a transformation under everyone's watchful eyes... Now, besides the newly acquired Eye of Light, what other life-saving treasures do I have?"
"Ice Lance, Blink, Awaken, Wisdom, Frostbolt, Frost Nova, Polymorph!"
Conventional spells are okay for one-on-one combat...
"Necromantic magic...dangerous. If I use necromancy, I might be doomed!"
Lorraine couldn't care less about that anymore.
They're about to take over the place. If my disguise is exposed, I won't be able to escape into the sewers!
[Resentment locked in...]
Lorraine's right rune eye is now bustling with activity. The upgraded mid-level necromancer rune eye is a prison of souls, holding hundreds upon hundreds of wronged spirits... including the soul of the newly joined archmage Atal'ik.
The eleven death knights and nearly a thousand undead summoned by Ambermill are immortal, thanks to the upgrade of Lorraine's right eye. As long as the death knights live, the low-level undead under their command will be eternally indestructible.
Both master and apprentice were aware of this from the abilities of the Rune Ghost Prison.
They discovered that even the fallen summoned skeleton warriors and skeletal riders, after their demise, did not dissipate but returned to his runic right eye to slowly recover his soul power...
Of course, not every soul will return; they also vary in strength and will.
Some weak-willed souls may dissipate after a single summoning, while the tenacious Yurev grows stronger with each battle. Lorraine discovers that Yurev is becoming increasingly powerful; he can no longer return to the Right Eye Prison unless his body is destroyed.
Of course, the price for these powerful vengeful spirits to return to his runic right eye and recover was to devour the other weaker vengeful spirits absorbed by Lorraine...
A unique order had formed in his right eye...
Of course, they also gained new abilities.
The souls of the dead army did not return; he could only arrange for them to continue their slumber at the bottom of Lake Lordamere...
He could control the ghost in his right eye with ease and skill.
After Taylor awoke from his coma, the [Possessed by Wraiths] technique forcibly infused a vengeful spirit into his mortal body, temporarily transforming him into a zombie-like undead creature... Having barely regained consciousness, Taylor, who had once been a genius human male mage apprentice from Dalaran, suddenly found his eyes bloodshot, his nails and hair growing wildly...
The person supporting Taylor was so frightened that they quickly let go...
The unusual movement caused a commotion, and the crowd suddenly dispersed on its own...
The elven knights who were not far from Taylor immediately sensed the danger: "You beast, how dare you act so presumptuously here!"
The Blood Knights of Silvermoon City are unusually sensitive to the mindless and the undead, causing the Silver Covenant mages who were approaching Lorraine to turn back...
