Arthas tore off Skovard's cloak and wiped away the demonic blood on the Ashbringer's sword, and the pollution and corrosion were instantly purified by the holy light.
The layers around him were filled with corpses of the Vrykul of the Demon Slayer clan. Of course, not all the Vrykul of the Demon Slayer were here. Some of them were frightened to death when faced with Alsace's ruthless killings. , leaving his tribe and Skovard behind and fled here.
After casually inserting the Ashbringer into the ground, Arthas sat down on the spot. There was a huge head in front of him, which was the head of God King Skovard.
There was obvious consternation and disbelief on the God King's face. He never expected that it would end in this way before achieving his goal.
The evil energy failed to save his life, but instead caused him to die faster.
As for the God King's other thoughts before his death, no one will know anymore. Maybe Arthas can get the answer by enslaving this guy's soul, but he has no interest or energy to do such a boring thing.
The cave guardian Yutna, who was defeated by Skovald and only survived with one head, looked at Alsace with some fear. It was not because of Alsace's ruthless offensive and cruel methods faced by the enemy, but because of He felt an oppressive aura from a superior person from Alsace.
Yutna cautiously asked Alsace, "Strange strong human being, are you also here to complete the trial?"
Trial?
Arthas thought for a moment and then remembered that Skovard came here solely to complete the trial left by Odin, so as to obtain the Shield of Aggramar by "legitimate" means.
However, his approach could not be called "legitimate" at all. He bewitched the elders of the Vrykul people, destroyed the guardians responsible for the trial, and planned to enslave the souls of the ancient kings to force them to agree to complete the trial.
Although every step was completed according to the rules set by Odin, every step actually used methods outside the rules.
It's just that Arthas has no interest in this trial. He is not there to obtain the Shield of Aggramar. That kind of trial can be left to the warriors sent by Dalaran. He is just to complete his hunt.
That's right, the fallen Skovard is no different from the great demon of the Burning Legion. He needs soul power anyway, so these Vrykul and Skovard are just good bait.
The reason why he is sitting here is because he is waiting for Frostmourne to finish devouring the souls of these Demon-Scorned Vrykul, not because he has any bad taste.
As for the remains of the guardian beside him... Arthas waved his hand, and the corpses of several Vrykul who had been dead for a long time stood up tremblingly. However, their empty and muddy eyes and stiff movements showed that they No longer alive.
At Alsace's signal, they retrieved the various parts of Yutna's body and helped him complete the assembly. After doing all this, the Vrykul returned to the state of corpses, paralyzed. fell to the ground.
After doing all this, Frostmourne's devouring work is almost completed. It has to be said that the souls of the Vrykul are very good nourishment. When these souls are gathered together, they are more powerful than the Balnazzar and Di who were taken in before. Serok's soul is even stronger.
After finishing his work, Arthas picked up the Ashbringer, held Skovard's head and was about to leave, but Yutna said, "Unfamiliar strong man, just wait here for a while."
"Huh?" Arthas stopped and looked back at Yutna, "Do you know what I want to do?"
"Since you didn't come here for the Shield of Aggramar, and you also took away Skovard's head and killed these fallen ones, you should have only one purpose."
Yutna's tone was quite respectful, "Please wait here for a moment. The manager's messenger should arrive soon."
As soon as the stone guard finished speaking, several golden light pillars fell from the sky. The violent impact made the ground tremble uncontrollably. Several Vrykul wearing golden armor walked out of the light pillars.
They made an invitation gesture to Alsace, and Alsace walked into the pillar of light with Skovald's head in his hand. After his figure was covered by the light, several Valragars also returned to the pillar of light. , as the light beam retracted towards the sky, their figures disappeared.
Yutna looked at the blue sky as if nothing had happened. After a while, he drove other creations in the cave to dispose of the almost mountainous stack of Vrykul corpses at the door.
The golden light brought Arthas to the Hall of Valor beyond the sky. This is the palace of the chief administrator Odin and the eternal paradise of those Valajar.
As soon as he stepped out of the light pillar, Arthas saw the tall giant standing in front of him.
He welcomed Alsace with a thunderous voice, "Welcome, Alsace."
"It's a pleasure to meet the chief administrator of Azeroth, the great Odin." Arthas threw Skovard's head on the ground. "When we met for the first time, I didn't bring anything decent. I could only use The fallen man’s head as a gift.”
Odin looked at Skovard's head, feeling uncontrollably happy in his heart. His only remaining eye was shining brightly, "Hahaha, although I only have one eye left, I can still distinguish between heroes and heroes. Coward—go put Skovald’s head on the wall!”
Several Varagar left with Skovald's head, and Odin personally took Arthas to the central hall of the Hall of Valor, "You brought me the head of a traitor, and you also solved it. Those cowardly degenerates, I will satisfy your demands as much as possible."
"Dear Chief Manager, you don't seem to be surprised by my arrival."
Odin laughed a few times, then shook his head, "I have warned my brothers and colleagues that it is not reliable to hand over the power of the Titans to the native creatures on Azeroth, and the fact is just as I expected. , although they have accepted the power of the guardian, they always make huge mistakes."
Although Odin stopped interfering in mortal affairs after the Aspect Dragons took over the responsibility of guarding Azeroth, he still witnessed with his own eyes how the Aspect Dragons made such mistakes.
Odin's ideas and behavior may be paranoid, but he still doesn't agree with the actions of his brothers. "Look at those five guardian dragons. The suffering of Azeroth is more or less related to them. Hold Their strength has brought huge trouble to Azeroth."
