"Bang! Pong!"
A deafening explosion sounded. Thassarian waved his hands in disgust, slapping away the smoke and dust in the air, and at the same time dissipating the death energy protecting his ears.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Kel'Thuzad stopped what he was doing, looked at the blackened grass, and fell into deep thought.
"There's something really strange here...Arcana, holy light and an extremely dark influence are entangled together..." The Archlich moved his fingers and summoned another arcane crystal and landed it in his palm.
"What did you say?"
The death knight was very puzzled. He was not as sensitive to energy fluctuations as spellcasters like the Lich, so he just saw Kel'Thuzad's preparations failing again and again.
"Nothing, I mean, the trap is ready for use."
After many attempts and failures, Kel'Thuzad finally succeeded in creating a soul-gathering circle using arcane crystals and soul fragments.
Although this forest has been uninhabited for countless years, the Dreadlords are unaware of this.
Kel'Thuzad's plan was to use undead coolies to build a "town", a town that looked like it had been plundered by orcs and then abandoned.
The Warsong clan had been hiding in the forests of Tirisfal Glades before, so it was not surprising that this happened. Kel'Thuzad tried to make the town look as less obtrusive as possible.
And he also understood why Alsace asked him to choose to set up a trap in this place. The nearby forest contained very mixed energy, which would have a great impact on perception.
Even the Dread Lords could only roughly realize that there were traces of souls and mana flowing here, but they had no way of knowing the existence of the Soul Gathering Circle.
The layout of the trap was not a complicated matter. Although it failed many times, that was because Kel'Thuzad was looking for a point that could balance the natural flow of energy here.
What really made Kel'Thuzad pensive was the strange energy of the area itself: for so many years in Dalaran, he had no idea that there was such a place just within the borders of the human kingdom!
This kind of energy has affected the ecology of this place. Kel'Thuzad has not found any living creatures in this forest area.
But the undead didn't seem to be sensitive to this influence, so he didn't know what the specific consequences of this influence would be.
If he had time, Kel'Thuzad would definitely study it carefully. Unfortunately, now he must complete the task given to him by Alsace.
Under the command of Kel'Thuzad, in just one day and night, an abandoned small village appeared in the mountains that were originally forests.
The Archlich issued an order to the undead coolies, asking them to bury themselves in various places in the town.
"Let's try the effect." Kel'Thuzad took out a soul fragment and threw it towards the ground. Under the action of the soul gathering array, the owner of this soul fragment gradually condensed into a physical form.
Although he no longer has consciousness and intelligence, it is not difficult for Kel'Thuzad to let him wander around the small village relying on his instincts.
"Excellent - perfect," Kel'Thuzad's sharp finger bones touched the head of the soul shadow, and the entire soul exploded like a balloon, dispersing the soul's breath into the surrounding air.
"Come on, Death Knight, do me a favor and break this batch of soul crystals." Kel'Thuzad pointed to a cart full of purple crystals next to him and said, "Pay attention, it's best to let them break into pieces all over the town. various places”
"good."
Thassarian didn't talk too much, although he also had doubts, because as a spellcaster, Kel'Thuzad wanted to complete this thing, but it only took a spell.
But since this mission was commanded by Kel'Thuzad, no matter how he disliked this lich who had done many evil things, he still had to obey orders, because he was now Kel'Thuzad's lieutenant.
Watching Thassarian begin to walk the soul crystal fragments in every corner of the town, Kel'Thuzad's skull moved slightly, and then a bright green magic circle appeared on the ground beneath him.
With a wave of his hands, the archlich gathered the energy of Tirisfal Glades together. Within a few minutes, the energy he controlled exceeded the limit of magic that any archmage could control.
Originally, it was very difficult for Kel'Thuzad to use such a spell. He had to make careful preparations and run a huge risk of failure.
However, after being reshaped into the body of a lich, he got rid of the shackles of the human body's ability to accept energy, and controlling such a huge power was just a piece of cake.
When Thassarian's work was about to be completed, Kel'Thuzad's magic was almost ready, and his cold voice echoed in the town.
"Death Knight, stay away, or open your defense shield."
Thassarian felt the violent energy fluctuations coming from the direction of Kel'Thuzad. His eyelids twitched. He crushed the last crystal shard in his hand, summoned his undead horse from the shadow rift, and headed away from the town. Running away.
After sensing that Thassarian was far away from the range of magic, Kel'Thuzad input an extremely unstable magic power into the gathered energy.
Originally a fusion of multiple energies, the mixed magic power boiled immediately like hot oil dripping into water, and the violent magic power changed from unstable to a completely explosive state.
Kel'Thuzad calmly raised a defensive barrier and watched as the dazzling light spots exploded in mid-air. The energy rippled through the air like ripples, making the surrounding forest sway.
The strangeness in Tirisfal quickly spread from the mountains and affected various surrounding areas. However, because Kel'Thuzad chose the location deep in the mountains of Tirisfal, and ordinary people were not familiar with such things, It was not sensitive to energy changes, so it did not cause chaos at all.
However, in mid-air, with nothing to reduce the energy fluctuations, even Naxxramas, thousands of miles away, was affected by the magic explosion.
Naxxramas's own defense mechanism and stabilization measures were instantly activated under the abnormal vibration, allowing the somewhat trembling floating fortress to stabilize again.
The shaking only lasted for a short time, but the three Dread Lords quickly realized the energy impact.
"What happened? We were attacked?" Balnazar's claw-like fingers moved a few times, and he felt a desire to kill.
"No, not really." After a thorough investigation, Diselok, who controlled Naxxramas, confirmed the location where the anomaly occurred. "There seems to be some kind of large-scale magic power in the mountains of Tirisfal." Activity."
"In the mountains? What's going on?"
"I'm not sure... I'm trying to analyze the types of these magic powers... It's strange, these magic powers are very mixed, it doesn't look like a man-made magic experiment." Diselok intercepted a trace of abnormal magic power, and he felt that it contained various kinds of magic powers. All kinds of power.
"Holy light... arcane magic and the power of the Shadow Void. Well, I can also smell the scent of the soul, but it is much lighter than the first three."
