"Invincible, wait for me in the rift."
Arthas got off Invincible's body and was about to enter the real world through the rift, but found that Invincible had bitten his cloak.
The war horse stamped its feet uneasily, as if it was worried about Alsace's safety.
Also, this underground cave used as a prison is almost entirely filled with watchers and their mechanisms. Invincible's keen sense tells it that the place below is very dangerous.
Therefore, it didn't want to leave its master and wanted to fight with Alsace.
Arthas patted the horse's head helplessly, "Just stay here. I will summon you if necessary - I can't possibly fight on a horse in a cave, right?"
Invincible seemed to know that this was not realistic. It lowered its head in frustration and told Alsace that it understood.
Arthas stepped back into the real world, and the humid air immediately hit his face. There was a certain amount of water inside the cave, which almost made any silent sneaking into impossible.
However, Arthas had no intention of entering the prison where Illidan was held completely silently. He was a knight, not an assassin or a thief.
But in the face of this kind of water, Alsace still had a way to deal with it. The cold breath condensed on his combat boots. In just a blink of an eye, the cold air froze the water surface and turned it into a thick layer that was enough for people to step on. Ice.
Therefore, Arthas did not enter the water, but walked on the water. After losing the support of his power, the ice condensed by magic will soon melt, leaving no trace.
Of course, some people may feel that the water temperature is abnormally cold after entering this water area.
The entire cave was not completely blocked by water. Soon, the large and small pools turned into puddles. In the darkness, it was still easy for the watchers to notice the movement, but Alsace's vision was not affected by the brightness of the light.
He walked inside the cave as if he were walking in his own home. Those mechanisms and traps hidden through the darkness were as ridiculous as light sources in his eyes.
Not to mention the traps activated by magic power. Under the soul's vision, the perception of magic power is very keen. At least the skills of the watchers cannot completely cover up all the flaws.
When the traps, traps, and the natural environment inside the cave have all failed, the only ones that can hinder Alsace are the "Watchers" who serve as guards.
Soon, Alsace met the first patrol of watchmen. He stopped and leaned against a stone wall, quietly waiting for the watchers to pass by him.
His figure was hidden in the darkness, and the power of death completely covered his aura. If he didn't make a move or make a sound, anyone would regard him as a cold, lifeless rock wall.
However, the watchers, who possess high skills and have undergone rigorous training, still sensed that something was wrong.
"I feel...a little strange." A watcher stopped and looked around. The night elves' vision allowed them to have a good field of vision at night.
"There is no sound of water being paddled, no traps and traps being triggered, and there is no sound of breathing or heartbeat." Another watcher said calmly. She looked at her companion, "Sela, are you there? You've been in the deep prison for too long, are you a little nervous?"
The watcher named Sera raised her arm, revealing the skin that was not covered by the arm armor. After a moment of silence, she said in a confident tone, "No, I should have felt right, the temperature here is lower than usual. "
The temperature in the depths of the dungeon was lower than here. She would subconsciously hide her hands under her large cloak, and today, she unconsciously made the same move.
When she acted here before, she would not have such a reaction, which can only mean that the environment has changed.
"The temperature has gotten colder?"
Sera's words stunned the watchmen, and she walked out of the team, took off her gauntlet, and dipped her fingers into the water in the puddles on the ground.
Just when she felt that the temperature of the water had cooled down a lot, she shook off the water droplets remaining on her fingertips, and was about to tell her teammates, she suddenly found that the cave was unusually quiet.
An ominous premonition came to her, and Sera slowly put her gauntlet back on and reached for the short knife under her cloak.
When her hand just touched the handle of the knife, her eyes suddenly widened, and her body tilted and fell to the ground, causing a splash of water.
What's even more frightening is that her fellow watchers didn't react at all, as if they were swallowed up by the darkness when she wasn't looking at her companions.
…
Arthas glanced at Sera who was lying on the ground, turned around and walked towards the real door of the dungeon. Next to him were other watchers who were nailed to the wall with soul spikes.
He originally didn't plan to take action, just to see how deep he could go before being discovered by the watchers. However, he didn't expect that the watchers noticed the problem before he even opened the dungeon door.
Although his entry may not be discovered, it also arouses the suspicion of the watchers. If he does not make these guys fall into "sleep", the road ahead will be more difficult.
The spikes formed by the power of the soul are not very lethal under his control. They can only temporarily seal a person's soul and make them fall into a coma. The duration is not long. After the spikes disappear, they Will gradually regain consciousness.
Arthas had no time to engage in a technical contest with the Watchers. He simply used his soul power, which was far stronger than the Watchers, to make them all fall into coma.
After all, no matter how hard he trains his body and will, the Watcher is no better than ordinary people when faced with an attack that directly attacks his soul.
As Arthas advanced deeper into the dungeon, he discovered that this place seemed to be more than just a prison. This cave at the foot of Mount Hyjal also housed a large number of druids. They should also be considered a different kind of guard. It is also a cover-up for the dungeon.
Soon, Alsace, who had overcome many obstacles, stood in front of the ancient elven gate. This gate had stood for ten thousand years, and the magic decorations and locks on it were still brand new.
Arthas raised Frostmourne, and the sword blade scratched the magic seal on it. Under the power of the magic sword and Arthas, the door began to "die" and decay rapidly, and the magic restrictions on it quickly failed. Finally, The solid door was pushed open by Alsace alone.
This is the prison of the betrayer, and the "cage" of the warden, Maiev Shadowsong.
