Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 456: Lich King - Arthas
Needless to say, during the battle, after being ambushed and with a huge gap in strength, Visharoon was literally crushed in just a few seconds. He didn't even get to leave a last word.
But at the last moment, in addition to looking at Levi with eyes full of resentment, he also released the Finger of Death to Michaela, the strongest among all those present who could not resist the instant death spells.
From this point, it can be seen that he is really very petty, and Michaela has never offended him.
Of course, this would not have any effect, as Levi flew over and blocked it, but it moved Michaela deeply.
Even though she knew that as a celestial mystic, Levi would not be killed by this kind of spell, she was still deeply touched that he could do this for her.
As Visharon's body broke apart, dozens of glittering objects scattered out from it.
That is his godhead, priesthood, divinity, and a vast amount of knowledge in multiple fields.
Nothing could be more certain than this; his real body was indeed killed this time.
The moment they left their bodies, they wanted to fly away, but Lilith stretched out her hand and the hazy mist bound them tightly.
The fragment of Visharoon's divinity is undoubtedly valuable. After using a large amount of divine power to complete it, it is fully capable of creating a new god.
His portfolio includes: necromancy, necromancers, liches, and undead creatures.
His domains include: Death, Magic, Evil, and Undeath.
The other things are fine, but death and magic are extremely precious even to Lilith and the others.
There were no crystals of divine power, because after suffering a series of severe blows, Visharoon had no remaining strength.
But after a quick scan, Yue Gong frowned: "Huh? Why is the number wrong?"
It is normal for the godhead to be broken into pieces, but there is no priesthood of lich here now, and the priesthood of undead creatures seems to be a little incomplete, and they are obviously the real foundation of Velsharoon.
Lilith wasn't surprised: "Velsharon is a lich first, and a god second."
"He must have somehow managed to hide some of his source power in his lich's phylactery."
Although this sounds incredible, considering that Velsharoon is the lich god, it seems not impossible for anything to happen to him.
Yuegong sighed slightly. It seemed that there was still no way to kill Visharoon in one go.
Illidan next to him also frowned. Although they always seized the initiative and defeated Velsharoon several times at almost no cost, this time they even killed his body and even the priesthood was exploded.
But as long as Visharon has not completely fallen, they will never be able to truly let go of their worries.
Apart from anything else, if he was willing to take the risk of being exposed, he would launch an attack on a large elven town.
Without a legend in charge, they might not even be able to sound the alarm and would have been wiped out.
If the target was the night elves he protected, his new church would have to start from scratch again.
The big crocodile Sobek, on the other hand, was just busy laughing foolishly. He didn't know anything else and was too lazy to think about it.
He only knew that every time he followed Lilith into battle, the process was very easy, but the rewards were very generous.
He had chosen Lilith in the beginning only to repay her for accepting him on behalf of the elven pantheon.
Now it seems that this may be the most correct choice he has ever made in his life.
Lilith is a real rewarder of merit, and she is extremely generous. No one knows where she gets all these treasures and knowledge.
So he has even begun to consider whether or not to stir up some trouble in the Egyptian pantheon.
For a pantheon, killing hostile gods is a way to become stronger.
Absorbing new gods is also a method!
At this time, Lilith turned her attention to Levi. He made an indispensable contribution to the success this time.
But these things obtained from Visharon were not suitable for him, at least not for him now.
Then she suddenly let out a light exclamation and noticed Maltis.
A death elf? Perhaps she could accept the reward, at least in part.
Seeing this, Levi took the opportunity to tell her about Martis.
Visharon dropped so many things, and although he couldn't use most of them, the divinity of death contained in them might be able to be given to Maltis in part.
Lilith looked at Maltis seriously again before she understood.
"I see. She has a hidden divinity within her, but she has not yet unleashed its power. What a foolish dragon."
Having said that, she glanced at the dracolich lying prone on the ground.
But now the dragon lich was just using its broken wings to desperately cover its head, shivering there.
Because it felt as if it had gotten something very important wrong.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the opponent's target was not this.
Now that Visharoon has suffered such heavy losses, he may not be able to take revenge on these gods, but he will definitely not let it go!
After a brief hesitation, Lilith reached out and collected the spoils.
Among them, none of the two priesthoods, necromancy and necromancer, could be used by them. Perhaps she could seek out the powerful divine power of mankind - the Lord of the Dead - Kelemvor, and make corresponding exchanges.
Kelemvor has always believed that death is a natural part of life and that mortals have nothing to fear.
But if some people are killed by necromancy before their lifespan ends, or if their bodies are still desecrated and driven by necromancy after death, they will undoubtedly be strongly hated by him.
Because he was also promoted from a human to a god, and the time was not particularly long, so he still retained a considerable amount of humanity.
He initially hated all undead creatures, viewing them as abominable existences, and demanded that his priests do everything in their power to destroy them all.
Later, as he gradually matured, he began to tolerate the churches and priests of other gods on a small scale, and when necessary, drove the undead creatures to perform defensive tasks, etc.
Since death is part of the life process, the undead also has its own meaning of existence, he gradually realized this.
But at the same time, Velsharoon, who not only researched himself but also led his believers to research and create numerous necromancy spells and undead creatures, undoubtedly became the existence he hated the most.
However, in the past, Kelemvor had never officially declared war on Velsharoon.
In addition to the fact that Velsharoon himself was quite cunning, the most important thing was that he had the support of the Goddess of Magic. When the Goddess of Magic and Kelemvor were mortals, they were a pair of lovers...
But no matter what, when she takes these two priesthoods with her, she will definitely get considerable rewards.
Kelemvor has no need for these two priesthoods himself, but he would certainly want to watch over them personally to prevent them from falling into the hands of evil beings like Velsharoon.
As for the fragments of priesthood - undead creatures, she wanted to keep them for herself temporarily for research.
Likewise, Velsharoon intends to preserve death, magic, and undeath in her realm, and take away evil for trade and so on.
The realm of gods is gods' understanding and cognition of a certain direction. They are knowledge and do not possess any power in themselves.
But if it is handed over to other gods with evil domains, it will definitely complement it to a considerable extent and can be sold at a good price.
Since different gods have different understandings and perceptions of their domains, even her powerful uncle Cain would not reject the knowledge from Velsharoon.
Finally, there is divinity, which is very important to mortals, but to the gods present, it is of relatively the lowest value.
After expending some extra divine power, Lilith purified it on the spot and then threw 2 points to Levi.
Levi didn't hesitate at all and gave it to Maltis directly. The death elf and the death divinity are a perfect match.
The black dragon had snatched some of them from her before, so now she should give them back to it.
Even though he had already become an undead who did not need to breathe, Maltis still felt a little dry in the mouth and did not know what to say for a moment.
No mortal being can ignore their existence, not even her.
"Levi, do you have any other request?"
Although after arriving at this small plane, Lilith already roughly understood Levi's intentions and also sensed some not-so-strange auras.
But as a goddess, she certainly couldn't be so proactive.
Levi bowed slightly and saluted: "Goddess, this plane seems to have been polluted by the Tzeentch demon. If possible, I hope it can be restored to its original appearance."
Lilith nodded slightly, then pointed in the distance.
So, dozens of miles away, in an underground cave that Levi could not see at all, all the creatures died instantly, including the old lady Yaga who made the elegant spirits live in fear.
A blasphemous ritual that had lasted for several years collapsed. Even if a little bit of devil's power was obtained, it was still nothing in front of her.
After doing all this, Lilith still looked nonchalant. She really didn't take it seriously at all.
Not to mention a group of witches and trolls, even if the Four Chaos Gods appeared here now, she would not be afraid at all.
The Four Chaos Gods are powerful because of their ability to corrupt mortal beings, and because they will almost never completely perish.
But after experiencing the Ancient War and being sealed and suppressed for so many years, they may not be able to match the stronger demon lords now.
Otherwise, with their personalities, they would have jumped out long ago to wreak havoc in the main world, spreading death and destruction, because that is their nature.
"I have cut off Tzeentch's power. This plane will not continue to sink, but will continue to rise until it returns to its original position."
"At the same time, I will also deal with Corellon, but this plane should be some unique reflection of the Fey Wilds. The wilderness here will never be truly safe."
Levi was immediately excited. Does this mean that new monsters emerge in the wild every day? This is exactly what I want!
"I am willing to protect the elegant spirits here and continue to eradicate evil!"
Lilith nodded gently: "Okay, then I will help you again, but if you really want to completely make this plane never again invaded by such evil, you must at least become a demigod."
The kingdoms of the gods are all independent small planes. Unless hostile gods invade, no demons or devils can break in. This is also one of the powers of God.
And she also saw through Levi's intention, which was nothing more than preparing for becoming a god, and wanting to train the elegant spirits into potential believers.
Many legends in the main world will make such preparations, but ninety-nine percent of them are doing useless work.
The ascension from human to god is not a question of level, but an essential improvement of life.
Without the gift of other gods, or without the relics of fallen gods, even if he reaches level 100, he is still a legend, not a true god.
Thinking of this, Lilith stretched out her finger and released a little bit of cloud-like divine power.
This is one of her special powers. It can protect this small plane for a certain period of time without being noticed by other gods or demons.
It is precisely because of it that she can manage three different identities so steadily. Until now, no god knows how many kingdoms of God she has.
Seeing this, Yue Gong next to him also chuckled, stretched out his finger, and injected some divine power, which could make the protection time here longer.
Come to think of it, she was the one who came into contact with Levi first, but somehow, now Lilith has a closer relationship with him.
Seeing Levi showing more and more powerful talents and strength, she felt that she had to do something.
It's not about competing with Lilith. There is no need for this between sisters. And judging from the current situation, Levi will not be completely subordinate to them. His future may be even brighter.
But at least, she could make him owe her a few more favors, so that when she needs help in the future, she can ask for it!
Both goddesses took action. Although Sobek and Illidan's divine power was not sufficient, they could not just stand by and watch, and they all invested a part.
Although this plane is far from being exclusive to Levi, there will not be any relevant system prompts.
But by looking at their movements, he could roughly guess it.
He opened his mouth and was about to express his gratitude, but a system prompt that surprised him popped up abruptly.
"The Lich God, Velsharoon, was killed by the Death Knight, Arthas, in cooperation with the Lord of the Dead, Kelemvor, and others. He was completely destroyed."
"Arthas successfully seized Velsharoon's priesthood - lich, priesthood - undead creatures (part), as well as a small part of the godhead fragments, divine power and divinity, etc."
"Arthas calls himself the Lich King and is officially deified."
"The Lord of the Dead, Kelemvor, officially announced that, provided Arthas does not violate the secret contract he made with him, he will temporarily protect until any of the following three situations occurs."
“1. The main world has experienced 60 years.
2. Arthas was promoted to a lesser godly power;
3. Kelemvor has fallen to a medium level of power. "
Levi immediately exclaimed "Wow!", perhaps it was because Visharon had offended too many beings. In addition to him and Lilith and the others who had been trying every means to kill him, there were also other beings who were eyeing him covetously.
This time, Velsharoon had just suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, and within just a few minutes, Arthas found an opportunity, which was obviously something he had been planning for a long time.
He had long felt that something was wrong with many of Arthas's behaviors, because he looked like a mole, and now it was completely confirmed.
Velsharoon must have been able to see through Arthas's disloyalty before, but he probably thought he had the means to control him, so he allowed him to exist.
But when Arthas secretly formed a temporary alliance with Kelemvor, it was only natural that Velsharoon ended up in his current situation.
However, the exchange between Kelemvor and Arthas should be just a simple exchange of interests.
60 years may not sound short, but it is enough for an ordinary human being to go through the entire process of birth, aging, illness and death.
If it is a short-lived creature like a goblin or a ratman, it may have been born for at least five or six generations.
But for long-lived races such as elves and dwarves, and even for the gods, this is too short.
In this amount of time, the church will certainly not be able to develop, there will not be many petitioners and guards in the Kingdom of God, and even the Kingdom of God itself may not be perfect.
Unless he could take over all of Visharoon's other legacies, such as the church, believers, undead creatures, and even worldly property, it would be possible to improve the defense of the kingdom of God.
Levi inferred from this that Clemvor was probably very dissatisfied with Arthas.
It was not just because of the many evil deeds that Arthas had done in the past, but also because he inherited the two evil priesthoods of Velsharoon, both of which seriously violated the domain of the Lord of the Dead.
In order to completely eliminate Velsharoon, Kelemvor reluctantly tolerated Arthas's deification. However, if Arthas's many actions displeased him, he would have turned his sword against the new Lich King after 60 years.
But despite this, Levi still admired Arthas very much for being able to achieve this level.
After a slight sigh, Levi found that Lilith, Illidan and the others were also listening attentively, and it was obvious that they had received the same information.
Since Kelemvor is now going to be Arthas's temporary big brother, he must make it known to all the gods.
After a few seconds, Lilith and the others had completed the defense of this demiplane.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Yue Gong smiled at Levi, then waved his hand to open a portal and left first.
Illidan and Sobek naturally chose to follow. The world has been changing recently, and the threat of the Four Chaos Gods is looming. They actually have a lot of things to do.
Lilith, who stayed behind, seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, Levi, I just noticed that the speed of time passing here is slightly different from that in the main world. It is currently about 3:1. Maybe you can stay a little longer."
Levi's eyes suddenly lit up. In this way, he could indeed spend a few more days to consolidate his authority in the Twin Moon World and even confirm his rule here.
First check if there are any remnants of Granny Yaga, and then try to bring all the Yalings under your command.
Finally, clearing out the monsters in the wild was to reduce their threat to the Yalings on the one hand, and to demonstrate his strength on the other.
After finishing all this, it won’t be too late for him to go back.
Seeing that Levi understood what she meant, Lilith nodded slightly to Levi and followed him in.
Now things have changed a little. Visharon was killed directly, and she needs to meet with Kelemvor as soon as possible.
And she is not needed here for the time being. Levi can kill all the remaining evil forces by himself, not to mention Khalida and others.
"Levi, I..."
When he turned around, Levi discovered that the two points of divinity that were originally held in the hands of Maltis had disappeared.
She looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, and he looked at her at a loss. This was the first time he had seen this scene.
"Have you successfully accepted divinity?"
"But I didn't intend to take them all, who knew they would get in by themselves?"
Even though she was always calm in the face of adversity, she really didn't know what to do now, because she really couldn't think of where she could obtain divinity and return it to Levi.
Levi laughed: "That was originally prepared for you. No one is more suitable than you, right?"
He didn't take it seriously at all. He just turned his head and looked at the dragon lich who was still lying on the ground and trembling: "Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Although he still felt very bad about being slightly interrupted, Martis allowed himself to be driven by his inner anger and hatred for the time being.
She nodded, then stretched out her hand and made a gesture of grabbing.
The dragon lich let out a wail and a pale light was directly caught by her. Its original pterosaur body scattered all over the ground, and then it quickly turned into rotten bones as if it had been dead for a long time.
Maltis didn't even look at it, and directly stuffed the last power and soul of the dragon lich into the mouth of the skeleton horse under her crotch.
Yes, since the skeleton horse itself is too weak, her doing this will hardly have any effect on it, because the dragon lich is good at magic.
But she had no intention of using its power at all, she just wanted revenge!
As the light flickered, a faint light appeared in the skeleton horse's eye sockets.
But when it opened its mouth, it couldn't say anything at all, because it was already tied to the skeleton horse. Not only life and death, but even freedom was all in its hands!
Maltis then snorted softly, and his mood finally improved a little.
Then she looked at Levi more seriously than ever before: "Levi, as a master of the mysteries of the heavens, are you willing to accept the loyalty of a death elf?"
At first, she followed Levi simply to find out her life experience more quickly.
Up to now, she still has one goal, which is to repay Levi's many kindnesses and see how far he can go!
Li Wei immediately smiled and said, "Of course, how could I bear to refuse you?"
Following the system's prompt, Maltis officially joined, and Levi had an additional level 16/13 epic hero under his command.
In the team, his rank is second only to Levi, and is the same as Donna.
As a Death Knight, she is very powerful in combat.
In addition to the many weapons and combat skills possessed by regular knights, the Death Knight also possesses special abilities in three major categories: frost, blood, and evil.
Among them, the Frost system is very good at life-saving ability, deceleration and control, etc.;
The blood system mainly focuses on enhancing the lethality to the living, such as blood and plague;
The evil system is mostly about spells, such as corpse explosion, death coil, summoning of undead, etc., most of which are in this branch.
Currently, Maltis majored in frost and only chose to learn some skills from the other two systems.
She did not object to killing, but she hated the desecration of corpses.
Next is the divinity. She originally had 1 point of unactivated divinity in her body, plus the 2 points given by Lilith, a total of 3 points of divinity.
This did not bring any additional enhancement to her attributes, but gave her several more skills.
The skill derived from Velsharoon's divinity is called Slaying, a 5th-level instant death spell that needs to be released at close range.
Although she always uses spears and swords to fight enemies, anything related to the word "instant death" is of low value, and it may come in handy at any time.
The next move, Soul Binding, was the same move she had just used to deal with the Dragon Lich. It couldn't be used during the battle, but it might be of some use after the battle.
Levi decided to let her practice this skill more in the future. It would be great if she could directly turn the enemy into soul crystal like the Ninth Volume of Nagash.
The last one is called Dimension Jump. Although the name contains the word "jump", it is actually a teleportation spell.
As long as she can see the target, Maltis can teleport up to a distance (meters) equal to 10 times her level per day. She can use it all at once or divide it into several uses.
Because it is the power brought by divinity, she can cast it instantly. Whether it is used for running away, or for launching a strong attack on the enemy leader, or fragile magic units, it will undoubtedly be very powerful.
She can also move with friendly troops or mounts, but the other party will also consume the same amount of movement distance.
So Levi could only sigh that although his skills were good, the distance he could use them every day was too short.
The distance of 160 meters plus the mount is at most 80 meters. This may support multiple times in a single fight, but if it is a legion battle, even if you multiply it by 10, it will not be enough!
However, this did give him some insight into the abilities of the missing Pale Queen.
This special skill is unique to the field of travel. The Pale Queen might really just be traveling.
In terms of the choice of campaign attributes, she is similar to Donna, both of them advocate violent attacks, and also get 3 points of attack for free.
In terms of skills, in addition to the regular skills such as leadership, military selection, offense and defense, she also has two special skills.
Cavalry commander, when commanding cavalry, the leadership required for each type of soldier is -20% (only integers are counted, minimum 1, maximum 3, and 0 when less than 1), and the minimum is reduced to 1.
This skill can be combined with the art of selecting troops, which allows her to command a larger number of cavalry.
Next is the Furious March, at the cost of a 35% loss of defense, the attack speed and movement speed of the cavalry units she commands are increased by 15%.
Although there are negative effects, cavalry has always been known for its turning and charging. Defense is not dispensable, but it is indeed not very important.
To put it another way, she could have used this skill to speed up her journey, and then the negative effects would have been completely ineffective.
As soon as these two special skills came out, Levi knew that he had to get her some cavalry units as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a real waste of her talent.
Unfortunately, her race is the death elf. Even if her camp is neutral, her morale will still be affected when she is with the high elf troops.
Levi could only try to find a way to help her recruit some undead soul-binding knights and terror knights.
For the time being, perhaps we can only get a batch of graveyard knights from Khalida and make do with them.
Speaking of Kalida, Levi just remembered that she seemed to be killing the enemy over there with Elegy, Donna and the others...
After a quick look, he breathed a sigh of relief and found that everyone was in good condition.
It makes sense. With the legendary Khalida leading the team and many Death Guards around, as long as we are careful about the opponent's instant death spells, those other monsters, including the giants, will just be beaten.
"Come on, let's go help them a little."
"etc……"
When he turned around, Levi saw the fairy dragon staring at him with its big watery eyes, very cutely.
"Um, Lord Levi, I wonder if you are willing to accept a fairy dragon?"
"Haha, of course no problem, but I think you'd better ask Donna."
This little guy's fighting power is actually very weak. The magic of the little female dragon Catherine is a bit unconventional, but she can perfectly assist the Sky Slayer and still has the natural melee ability of a dragon.
But the fairy dragon really only knows some fancy auxiliary magic, which is dispensable to him, so he should just give it to Donna.
The fairy dragon thought about it and roughly understood what he meant.
Being an animal companion? As long as there are enough candies and coins, it's not completely unacceptable.
Amazon won't last many years anyway, so this relationship will end soon.
As a fairy dragon, it is normal for it to live for thousands of years.
At this moment, another shout was heard from inside the village.
"Wait, Master Elf, are you willing to accept our allegiance?"
A group of elegant spirits, with blood-stained clothes and a rather dishevelled appearance, but with eyes brighter than ever, walked out from the shadows. They were the indigenous people of this village.
Selina beside him quickly explained: "Sir, he is Alda, the leader of this village."
While speaking, she was also looking at Levi with a similar look.
Although he is not a god, he can easily summon so many gods. Does it make any difference to Ya Ling?
He is the real hero, the real savior!
Levi immediately raised his head and said without hesitation: "Of course, I am willing to be the guardian of the Twin Moon World and all the elegant spirits!"
