Chapter 138 The Mage's Weakness
The cat is gone, vanished into thin air.
From the moment he met and sent away this noble and elegant magical cat, Archmage Atal'ik was seething with anger...
Despite being a member of the Violet Council, this so-called inspector never even revealed his name to Master Atalik, always appearing aloof, cold, and ruthless.
My colleagues said that the cat was a beautiful woman in human form, while others said that the cat was actually an elf... This made Archmage Atalik quite looking forward to seeing the envoy of the Violet Eye.
Now that Catwoman is gone, Atal'ak's death sentence is over...
It seems this wretched cat could have left long ago, but left at the last minute to see him make a fool of himself! Or perhaps to confirm his death?
Atalik's fear inexplicably turned into resentment... and an overwhelming hatred erupted.
One second Lorraine was searching for the cat's whereabouts, and the next second Rune's right eye felt an intense hunger.
"Another high-level vengeful spirit?"
Lorraine discovered that Atalik had lost his magic, yet he seemed to have entered another state; his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was trembling... whether from excessive anger or resentment with nowhere to vent...
The two servants were the most pitiful...they used to have a pretty good life.
As the close attendant of Archmage Atal'ik, he held a rather special position in Dalaran. He typically represented the Archmage in matters concerning the kingdom's nobility, and incidentally, took care of Atal'ik's daily needs...
It's somewhat similar to Lorraine's status when she was a human apprentice, but far superior to Lorraine's...
They can also cast a few common spells, such as Fireball and Burnout... which is considered the level of a novice mage.
Unfortunately, they were poisoned by the anti-magic potion that Lorraine had placed beforehand. Because of their gluttony, they were also poisoned by the anti-magic toxin that Eileen had put in their food. Under the combined effects of these multiple drugs, these mage soldiers were almost completely rendered unable to fight, reverting to a level that even ordinary militia couldn't defeat...
Having relied on magic for so long, once they lose their magical power, they are like lambs to the slaughter...
Whether it was the once-celebrated Archmage Atal'ark, the leader of Ambermill, or the mage fighting force he relied on, the same was true...
This is one of the mages' weaknesses.
Magic...
"Your mana is insufficient... Your spell is not ready; you need a target..."
The teacher kept repeating this sentence, and I don't know what's wrong with it.
The teacher, however, spoke earnestly, "Since you are so teachable and quick to learn, then I will tell you, Lorraine, you must learn the spell [Silence]. It is the key to your fight against magic-based classes. You also need to make good use of [Awakening] and [Mana Shield], which are a mage's second life and last resort."
"Of course, if you encounter an enemy with a hellhound and the ability to burn mana, you must kill the hellhound and counter it immediately. Otherwise, if your mana is drained, you will be like a lamb to the slaughter."
"To deal with some powerful enemies, having a partner who can drain mana is a good idea... For example, Shrek should know this skill, and if Lilith were to become a Shadow Priest, she would also have Mana Burn... Not to mention the Demon Hunter, a hero class, who was originally the bane of magic... You know, Illidan was originally one of the top mage geniuses among the Night Elves..."
The teacher took the opportunity to teach...
There was too much information; Lorraine only vaguely understood that she needed to learn a silence skill called [Spell Counter]... Mana was a mage's weakness, and also their second life...
"Illidan... Lord of Outland."
Lorraine overheard the name of this night elf who had changed the course of history once again. It turned out he had once been a mage, but he had sided with the Burning Legion, accepted demonic power, and willingly blinded himself with fel energy... becoming the first demon hunter.
He was also the one who almost killed Arthas and the Lich King.
Illidan was still hiding in Outland... that was another planet, requiring him to pass through the Dark Portal...
The names of these heroes and great figures gradually became familiar to Lorraine, yet he still couldn't understand why his teacher always mentioned a fallen elf who had lived for tens of thousands of years...
It seems like one day he'll have to face these big shots...
His intuition was correct; he foresaw his future and his destiny from his teacher. He gleaned even more information from his teacher, including the challenges and demands his adoptive father had placed upon him...
"Never mind, the road ahead is long, only the teacher will accompany me!"
"The quality of this Atalric vengeful spirit is so high that it's perfect for making up for my losses!"
Lorraine no longer hesitated. After all, this night had been too long and full of twists and turns... According to the plan, they should have pressed on and swept everything in one fell swoop.
Ambermill itself was merely a manor nestled in a mountain valley, with a main road leading directly to the main gate of Dalaran. Therefore, it served as a gateway and a strategic pass, and it was understandable that the leaders of Dalaran tacitly allowed Atarik to garrison it...
He acted rashly, formed an alliance without authorization, and provoked Undercity... courting his own doom.
Being abandoned by Dalaran was a foregone conclusion long ago, but he was completely unaware of it, complacent and thinking that the situation was excellent... Dalaran's barrier protected ordinary mortals, who forgot that this was a world still suffering from pain and demonic invasion.
Orcs and undead, even demonic minions, monsters and bandits... beasts and other races have never been at peace...
Humans, hiding within their own cities, sometimes overlook the conflicts and horrors outside...
This is also why some human noble commanders failed to recognize the situation, gave incorrect orders, and provoked the Horde. They had defeated the orcs, enslaved the orcs, and defeated the Burning Legion.
They are very confident and arrogant.
Therefore, some nobles did not take the Scourge, formed from humans transformed into undead, seriously. There were also spies from other factions infiltrated among them, from Undercity to Stormwind...
Whether it's Orgrimmar or Darnassus...
Someone is fanning the flames...
Kel'Thuzad, the archmage who single-handedly created plagues and death, effortlessly overthrew the most powerful human kingdom in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms...
Even now, this great lich, now the second most powerful figure in the Scourge, remains in the Eastern Plaguelands, commanding the undead army to continue their invasion of humanity and creating more undead warriors and puppets for the Lich King...
The floating plague fortress of Naxxramas is indeed the true scourge of Azeroth... a major threat to the Alliance, the Horde, and even the Forsaken.
But the Horde and the Alliance started fighting first...
It's not that Kyrgyzstan courted his own death; the human factions in Dalaran were short-sighted, and conflict was almost inevitable.
In this great tide, Lorraine was merely the fuse that lit the powder keg...
These seeds of resentment must be purified; each title—Plaguebringer Lorraine, Necromancer Lorraine, Tidewalker Lorraine—is his destiny and duty...
Atalik's death was inevitable... but his soul would become a servant of Lorraine, eternally suppressed in the runic right eye.
Once the twelfth vengeful spirit is captured, Ambermill will finally be perfectly conquered...
"Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
