Chapter 233 Vanishing into the Void
Master Yuvel had long since vanished; his departure was swift and graceful.
The remaining subordinates were ready to die, and Master Yuvel assured them that they would be resurrected in the afterlife... to enjoy heavenly treatment... Several elites of the Kirin Tor divination and illusion factions firmly believed this, as they had once astraled and entered the heaven described by Yuvel.
Some suspected it was a magical illusion, as if a deep, magnetic voice was bewitching these Kirin Tor sages.
The skeptic soon met with an accident and disappeared.
The remaining members automatically submitted to Master Yuvel, forming a small, independent group within the Silver Covenant, calling themselves the Arcane Society... The Arcane Society operates on a single-line basis, existing within various magical organizations. Its members have vaguely heard that the highest levels of the Arcane Society hold the true essence of magic...
What is the origin of magic?
This allure draws mages who love to explore the unknown...
They were willing to give their lives... and Yuval only took a few years to achieve this... Humans are always easily swayed; their weak will cannot maintain its composure...
The resentment that comes with becoming a ghost sustains the walking dead, causing them to roar at the living, driven by an instinctive desire for revenge, as if they want to drag others down to hell with them.
This mentality did not dissipate even after death; in fact, it became even stronger.
Necromancers can sense the strength of souls, and those with unresolved issues naturally possess even greater power. In the Dalaran crater, a burial ground that has existed for millennia, there are quite a few wronged spirits...
Lorraine felt that since his necromantic rune right eye was upgraded to an intermediate rune, he hadn't been able to unleash his pent-up necromantic energy at full power for a long time.
I've been running around like crazy these past few days, and the number of undead that I've been automatically absorbing is terrifying.
He forgot the limit of what his right eye could bear, but he felt as if he couldn't withstand... the number of vengeful spirits.
After leveling up, the necromancer sensed that the number of wronged souls buried in the earth's lamentation had reached a terrifying level. When the necromancer's power was fully mobilized, the world turned gray, as if entering the realm of the dead, or somewhat like the shadow realm the teacher had described...
The lakeside was grey and gloomy, and everywhere you looked was shrouded in a dim, eerie atmosphere...
Some powerful energy entities are still hidden within the dilapidated castle...
The intense aura of death in Alterac Valley was like boiling water, bubbling and churning...
The entire northern part of Azeroth is infested with the tormented undead...
The reason Lorraine didn't pay attention to Yuvel's escape, nor did he command the Death Knights in battle, was because after he lay down in the lake and entered another dimension, he felt as if he had entered a realm that didn't belong to the living...
Once again mobilizing his army of ghostly soldiers stored at the bottom of the lake, including eleven death knights... and their immortal minions, Lorraine only needed a thought, and they would automatically pounce on the living...
Never give up, forge ahead relentlessly...
For a fleeting moment, Lorraine and his apprentice felt like the Lich King, able to command a horde of undead with a mere gesture...
But in an instant, he saw himself wearing the Supreme Ring...
Lorraine felt as if she were possessed by the Lord of the Rings, commanding her twelve undead knights to conquer Middle-earth... Her teacher had mentioned the story of the Lord of the Rings briefly. Lorraine was particularly interested in the so-called white and grey wizards...
However, the magic bestowed by the goddess does not exist in Azeroth...
All mages wield powers that are not of mortal origin, relying on their wisdom and conscience, to fight against threats to humanity or to uphold justice... at least that's what the Kirin Tor has always taught the citizens of Dalaran.
Lorin was somewhat bewildered when she unexpectedly entered the realm of spirits.
He didn't know how to get out of this situation...
His men were still besieging the enemy, and he originally wanted to personally take command and not let anyone escape.
Unfortunately, his army of thousands of undead skeletons had now entered auto-attack mode, and the eleven death knights possessed their own intelligence... Unless Lorraine gave the order to stop, they would strictly execute the command to annihilate all enemies...
Of the eleven Death Knights, Death Oath personally killed several hovering dwarven gryphon riders.
Deathsworn was once the captain of the Lordaeron Militia Guard... He died in the first Scourge undead tide.
Yurev was the undead sentinel rescued by Lorraine, a former Scarlet Paladin. Yurev and his friend, the former Holy Priest and now the Shadow Priest Aurist, once fought together against the Scourge, but silently perished on the shores of Lake Lordamere...
These two are Lorraine's strongest subordinates, summoned using intermediate-level vengeful spirits... Having accumulated soul power within the necromantic cage in their right eye over time, these two are clearly different from the other death knights...
Lorraine didn't realize that the two of them were actually chatting...
"I swear, it seems our master has gone missing?"
Yurev asked, as he and Deathsworn rode on their skeletal warhorses, guarding the closest point to Lorraine, surrounded by the remaining Death Knights and the main cavalry...
Radiating intense holy light and bathed in its glow, Death's Oath nodded, turning his strong, thick neck to survey his surroundings.
"The owner has entered an unselectable state... perhaps it's a side effect of those glasses..."
"Oh, you noticed those glasses too? They don't seem to belong to this world. They're something from some unknown entity within the owner's body... The owner seemed to call him 'teacher'..."
Yurev clearly knew that another person was hiding inside Lorraine's body... but he didn't seem to quite understand who that person was. Since being sucked into the rune prison by Lorraine, he had regained some of his sanity, but had also become one of the death knights commanded by Lorraine.
Lorraine was his master.
Death's Oath remained silent, as if deep in thought. After half a minute, Death's Oath pointed towards Silverfang Castle and said:
"I was resurrected by an unknown being and assigned to guard the Eye of Light. Waiting for the one who can truly take it... As long as the Eye of Light exists, I will not disappear. My duty and destiny is to guard the master of the Eye of Light... I don't know if this counts as the immortality they envy?"
Yurev chuckled, "I think it's a curse... But my master granted my wish; I am already dead. It would be best if my wife and children could forgive me, but if not, there's nothing I can do. I didn't cherish what I had when we were together, I didn't make the right decisions, and there's no way to undo it now... I guess it's regret that will make me live forever..."
Yurev drew his black sword... and commanded the newly resurrected skeletons to plug the gap opened by the Scarlet Paladin.
He said calmly, "My value now is to fulfill my master's ideals... If he disappears, there is no need for us to exist... I know that the reappearance of us, who should not remain in this world, is inevitably to carry out the will of death."
"These people are doomed. I don't think we need to intervene..."
"Our master's order is to eliminate them. But some have escaped. Should we continue the pursuit...?"
Yuville shrugged... indicating he didn't know...
As a death knight resurrected by Lorraine, his intelligence was somewhat excessive...
The remaining nine death knights were noticeably dull-witted, merely instinctively commanding their skeleton cavalry to slaughter the living. Among these nine were Taylor and Eileen's former teacher, Joseph, and several bosses killed by Lorraine in Shadowfang Keep... yet they were now nothing more than a bunch of tools.
Arugal's headless spirit, transformed into the twelfth Death Knight, inexplicably rode away on a headless warhorse into the sky...
Lorraine didn't have time to ponder the reasons in detail.
At this point, he had no choice but to ask his teacher for help, but the teacher, like him, didn't understand the reason...
The two discovered that the other world, where ghosts roamed, was cold and gloomy, with faint, fragmented female voices constantly echoing in their ears. Sometimes, it even had a bewitching quality, easily causing confusion and dizziness.
Even Lorin, the teacher hidden inside Lorin's body...
"If this interface wasn't entered when you activated your skill... then... someone pulled us into this strange space... If someone could pull both of us into this bizarre dimension... if it's not someone like Aegwynn or Master Merlin, then it can only be..."
The teacher couldn't help but analyze the situation for his student...
The master and apprentice muttered to themselves:
"There's only..."
The two said in unison:
"Father!"
