Even if they were strengthened by Medivh's spells, the so-called Black Knights were originally just profiteers who cheated and defrauded everyone. Their own combat effectiveness was never top-notch.
Even though he has improved after so many years of fighting experience, Sarlayan does not think that the Black Knight can beat him with his own strength.
But if all of these black knights who came back from the field were holding artifacts, the situation would be different.
Even Khadgar, who has studied in Karazhan for many years, cannot recognize the names and functions of all the artifacts. If faced with multiple attacks from artifacts of unknown efficacy at the same time, Sarlayan does not dare to rely on his confidence that he will definitely win.
Khadgar also thought about this problem and asked with a frown: "What should we do? Are we just going to ambush and squat in the tomb? God knows when those black knights will come back."
"Um……"
Sarlayan rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment: "The Black Knight's duty is to find and protect the artifact for Medivh."
"I guess when we broke through the door of the artifact warehouse, the black knight who was unknown where he was probably knew about it through some special induction spell, and was speeding back now."
"Ah this..."
Khadgar glanced at Sarlayan with some embarrassment: "If those guys come back from other continents, it will take at least about half a month. Can you wait here for so long?"
Khadgar is self-aware, and it may be difficult for him to defeat a large number of black knights holding artifacts by himself.
Sarlayan shook his head and said: "The time I can stay is still uncertain. It depends on how the situation in the north changes."
"Anyway, let's set up a trap specifically for the Black Knight near the tomb."
"Treat others in their own way, and let them taste the taste of serial traps."
…
Just as Sarlayan guessed.
Due to the duty of collecting and keeping artifacts imposed by Medivh, when the final defense of the catacombs was breached, the Black Knight, who was wandering near Dalaran and looking for an opportunity to seize the Violet Eye, got the signal immediately.
The lair was violently breached, and the Black Knights headed by Eredin immediately suspected Khadgar.
They immediately put aside the plan they had been preparing for more than half a month, and angrily rode the dream horse that could fly in the air and rushed back to the headwind path.
Because he almost suffered a big loss due to his negligence, Khadgar was full of energy when he was setting up a trap to counterattack the Black Knight.
When Eredin and his group of more than a dozen people hurried back within a week, they immediately saw Sarlayan standing at the entrance of the tomb with the golden sword.
"Black Knight! Charge!"
Seeing the enemy's impudent attitude, Eredin laughed angrily and issued an attack order angrily.
But before the Black Knights could get close to Sarlayan, their mounts first felt something strange.
"Xilulu!"
The Black Knight's Nightmare War Horse was transformed by Medivh using magic. Since it is a magical creature, it will naturally be affected by the Forbidden Demon Realm.
As the Forbidden Demon Realm unfolded, the Dream Demon War Horse suddenly lost its special ability to step in the air and fell to the ground in panic. The originally menacing Black Knights also fell to the ground in embarrassment like dumplings.
Under the first buffer formed when the Incubus horse fell to the ground, the Black Knight, who had been strengthened by Medivh's spell, did not suffer fatal injuries due to the fall.
However, this trap, which contained Khadgar's resentment, destroyed the mobility of the Black Knights in one shot, and also destroyed their spellcasting ability obtained from Medivh.
Except for Khadgar, who actively activated the Forbidden Orb, and including Sarlayan, who stood struttingly in front of the tomb door, everyone in the domain could no longer cast spells.
But this is not harmful to Sharlayan, after all, the power of the artifact itself will not be completely suppressed by foreign artifacts.
This is the same for Eredin and other black knights.
After getting up from the ground in embarrassment, Eredin took a look at the dream demon war horse that had already expired. He was the first to grit his teeth and pull out the magic sword Apocalypse on his back.
"Woo!"
Turbulent evil energy spurted out from Apocalypse's sword, and Eredin's eyes behind the black helmet turned dark green.
"Despicable thieves! Do you think you can defeat the Black Knight like this!"
"Despicable? Thief? Ha~"
Sarlayan seemed to have completely ignored the power of Apocalypse, looking at the furious Eredin with a sarcastic look.
"You guys who go around plundering other people's property have the nerve to call others despicable? Who gave you the face? Medivh?"
"you wanna die!"
After a long and anxious journey, the black knights headed by Eredin were already in a bad mood, and they exploded under Sarlayan's deliberate provocation.
Being forcibly enslaved by Medivh was not a glorious experience worth talking about. Sarlayan's words about hitting people in the face completely ignited Eredin's anger.
"Ha~"
Looking at Eredin who was charging towards him with the Apocalypse held high, the corner of Sarlayan's mouth curled up with a strange arc.
"That's fine. To capture the thief first, capture the king. Let's start with you."
"Da~"
With the snap of Khadgar, who was standing in ambush at a high place, the scene before the eyes of the black knights charging behind Eredin suddenly changed drastically.
The entrance to the catacombs, which was so close to Chi Chi, disappeared without a trace, and they appeared in a cellar filled with a large number of empty wine barrels.
"This is...the wine cellar?"
Before the black knights could recover, Khadgar's third round of traps was launched.
"Boom!"
Raging flames engulfed the entire cellar, and a large number of wooden wine barrels around it were ignited by the flames.
Sarlayan had no time to pay attention to the black knights who were sent away by Khadgar's directional teleportation trap at the moment. He had not yet noticed that Eredin, who was alone, was charging towards him angrily.
"clang!"
Raising the Valarjar War Sword in his left hand, Sarlayan easily received Eredin's full blow.
"That's it?"
Using skill to stick to Apocalypse's sword blade, Sarlayan twisted his body and kicked out a roundhouse kick. The dragon scale barbs covering his calf instantly penetrated Eredin's black armor and penetrated his body. .
"boom!"
Eredin flew out to the right side of the catacombs faster than he had charged, hitting the outer wall on the side of Karazhan's tower.
"biu~"
The defensive spell Medivh casts against the outer wall is stronger when it is strong. The greater the impact, the stronger the rebound force of the spell will be.
With a slightly funny spell triggering sound, Eredin bounced back towards Sarlayan again like a ping pong ball being slapped back and forth.
Eredin, who was dazed by the kicks and bullets, had not yet found his direction. The other long sword in Sarlayan's right hand had already lightly passed through his body. Eredin suddenly felt that his body seemed to change. A little lighter.
This was not Eredin's illusion. When Sarlayan passed by him, he "conveniently" chopped off Eredin's right hand holding the sword at the elbow.
Because the sword was drawn out too fast, Eredin, who was still flying upside down, could only feel the pain of the wound punctured by the dragon scale barbs, and had not yet realized that he had turned into a one-armed monster.
As long as he is not surrounded by black knights, in a one-on-one battle, Eredin, who is only level 45, is no match for Sarlayan even if he also holds an artifact. The final result of this battle is like this. suspense.
Without the power given by the magic sword Apocalypse, Eredin is just a fish with a broken hand, unable to pose any threat to Sarlayan and Khadgar.
Sarlayan was not interested in continuing to pay attention to Eredin. He kicked away Eredin's severed hand that was still holding the sword hilt, and bent down with interest to hold Apocalypse in his hands.
"Oh~ it's really here."
While holding Apocalypse, Sarlayan clearly felt that an alien consciousness was trying to change his mind.
"be honest!"
The strength of dragons' souls is far superior to that of mortals. They have experienced a lot in the Shadow Realm, the home of all souls. Sarlayan's consciousness is not that easy to control.
As Sarlayan reversely injected his majestic soul power into Apocalypse's sword body, the demonic sword that had been roaring in an attempt to seize control of his body suddenly became quiet.
Apocalypse is a weapon created by Nathrezim based on Frostmourne and gathering a large number of demons to work together. Its self-awareness certainly follows the same set of rules that the demons believe in: the strong is respected.
If the master's soul strength does not meet the standards of the Apocalypse, he will be affected by it in turn like Eredin and become a slave of the magic sword.
After realizing that he was no match for Sharlayan, Apocalypse gave in as quickly as a country surrendered, raising a white flag to express surrender without saying a word.
"Ha~ I have no interest in you."
After casually inserting the obedient Apocalypse into the ground, Sarlayan turned to look at Eredin who had just gotten up from the ground and looked blankly at the broken part of his right hand.
"Buzz!"
Khadgar, who went to the wine cellar to clean up the mess, teleported back just in time. Without saying a word, he swung the drumstick of the Staff of Atiesh coldly and hit Eredin's helmet.
"Dang~"
Eredin: "???"
Seeing Eredin turn to look at him with a question mark on his face, Khadgar, who had originally wanted to show off, suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Ah... Sarlayan, you better do it."
Sarlayan: "...Are you a tease sent by the monkey?"
