Work Notes: Dracolich Sabellian
His great Majesty used a new method to resurrect a black dragon. It was no longer the kind of brainless bone dragon, but a "dracolich" with almost all the talents and abilities in his life.
A very novel term, and also very appropriate. Sabellian can indeed be said to be the lich among dragons.
I humbly begged my master for this ritual, and he, with his usual generosity, taught me its essence.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Lich's resurrection ritual has considerable limitations, and its difficulty is much more difficult than resurrecting a Lich (at least in the real plane), but considering the powerful ability of the Dragon Lich, this It is not difficult to accept.
First of all, an adult dragon whose death time is within three days is required. The shorter the death time, the greater the probability of success. At the same time, ensuring the integrity of the dragon body can ensure the combat ability of the dracolich to a large extent.
The ritual requires the preparation of a specific resurrection circle and a phylactery similar to that of the Lich but different. The dragon's skull itself can meet this requirement, but it will also have certain flaws. Although not fatal, it will cause more trouble. the result of.
(Note: The black dragon corrupted by the ancient gods must be resurrected with the skull as the basic phylactery, and the soul must be crushed and reorganized once. This situation should be related to the power of the ancient gods.)
The place where the experimental subject Saberian died was not Azeroth, and the influence of the Old Gods was minimized. If a ceremony for the black dragon is held in Azeroth, a complete array of psychics must be ensured, and at the same time no less than Three high-level psychic level spellcasters are in charge of hosting.
Magic circles and runes to isolate the influence of external forces are necessary. At the same time, in order to ensure that the Dracolich's combat ability is maximized, appropriate flesh and blood sacrificial rituals also need to be prepared.
(Note: For details on the flesh and blood sacrifice ceremony, please refer to the book "Dark Ritual". You can choose freely according to the specific situation and it is not a fixed ritual array.)
The appearance of the resurrected dracolich is not significantly different from that of ordinary bone dragons, but it possesses complete wisdom and thinking. If the phylactery is intact, it can be resurrected even if its basic skeleton is destroyed.
The dracolich has all the abilities and talents of the dragon during its lifetime, and can even use the transformation spell as usual. However, if it is not deliberately changed, the basic transformation posture will be the skeleton state of its usual posture during life, and it will be filled with magical gray-black color. The fog of death enveloped the skeleton, forming a cloak.
(Note: Talents and powers that have been deprived for various reasons can still be used as usual, including but not limited to the connection between the black dragon and the earth.)
…(There are gaps and scratches here)
The war with the ogres has reached the final stage. His Majesty called me to launch the final offensive against the Dota Ogres. The situation of the battle is under control. The two experimental constructs also exerted their ideal strength. After the war, I will compile the specific ritual methods and conditions into the "Code of Forbidden Spirituality" for reference and reading only by senior members of the Scourge.
…
Kel'Thuzad closed his notebook dotted with bones, placed a magic pen shaped like a finger bone on his workbench, turned around and floated towards the control center of the floating city.
"Dear Your Majesty, we are ready to launch a general attack. Those sword tower ogres on the periphery are not to be afraid of. Only Dragon Slayer Gruul needs to be vigilant."
Memories extracted from the soul fragments of Gronn and ogres show that the fighting abilities of Gruul's descendants and the dragon slayer himself are very different, let alone the summoned ogres.
After all, this powerful Gronn is a creature that can compete with Deathwing, so there is nothing wrong with taking it seriously.
"Are you ready for the plague?" Arthas observed the situation on the battlefield through the psychic crystal, and most of his attention was placed on the dark cave in the hinterland of the Blade Tower Ogre Fortress.
The towering entrance to the cave was pitch black, as if a ferocious beast that chose people to devour was waiting with its mouth wide open, and the notorious Gron was living in this cave.
Also guarding inside are King Mogar of the ogre puppet regime and his staff. They can be said to be the only strong men left among the ogres.
However, these guys are still not enough in front of the Scourge. For all-out war, the existing ogres no longer have the brains and energy to complete it.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried that the plague will have little effect on him," Kel'Thuzad reminded. Gruul's descendants alone have shown considerable resistance to the plague.
"It doesn't matter. Although Gronns are not completely flesh-and-blood creatures, they will also be injured and bleed. As long as they are weak, the plague will have an effect sooner or later."
Arthas said, "Sabellian also told us that when Gruul stands on the earth, he will have a strange connection with the earth. His strength will increase with the length of the battle, and there are also some difficult problems. With elemental abilities, we need plague to suppress his growth."
Facing a violent beast like Gruul, the Sea of the Dead tactic may be able to consume his vitality and will, but the quantity and time required are a big problem, and it is also troublesome to find so many corpses in the outer realm.
Since we can't use the human sea tactic to kill them, then directly attacking the plague is another way.
"Let the floating city's cannons be adjusted to launch plague bombs into Gruul's lair. At the same time, let the psychics everywhere be ready to use magic to control the wind direction."
After Arthas issued a few orders, he said, "When the plague completely spreads, Gruul will definitely not be able to sit still. He can handle it, but those ogres cannot."
When everything is ready, it's Saberian's turn.
This newly resurrected dracolich has a burning flame of revenge in his heart. Before following Arthas to kill the ancient god, he must first solve the big trouble of Gruul.
Along with the roar of artillery fire, several streaks of dark green light streaked across the sky and hit the ogre hard on the head.
In just an instant, a large amount of plague poisonous mist exploded in this desolate canyon. Those ogres who were still fighting the undead minions were infected with the plague. Before they could realize what it was, they found that their bodies were covered with terrible herpes. , severe pain and itching occur at the same time.
Tortured by these two feelings, some of the ogres even dropped their weapons and frantically scratched the herpes on their bodies. However, this did not relieve their pain, and the undead would not stand there stupidly. wait.
The plague further destroyed their respiratory functions, and the ogres either fell to the plague and staggered up to become shambling zombies, or were knocked down by the undead minions and became their blood meal.
"Death knights, charge with me!"
Carrying a rune battle ax that looked very similar to Gorehowl, Grommash led an entire group of knights roaring past the ogres' position. The magic of death and sharp weapons tore the ogres apart in an instant. In front of the demons, a large number of ogres fell like leeks.
The ogre casters actually responded immediately, but their magic could neither blow away the plague, nor could it defeat the death knight wearing heavy armor engraved with anti-magic runes and equipped with an anti-magic shield.
For example, Grommash was hit by a huge fireball in the chest, but he just shook his body, waved away the black smoke from his chest, and then continued to kill the ogres like nothing happened.
"Hahaha, the wail of the soul, the sweet death!"
Plaguebringer North set up a plague cauldron on the side of the ogre fortress. What was cooked in this magic boiler was not delicious food, but a terrible plague. The soldiers of the natural disaster threw the bones and souls of the ogres into it. In the pot, these materials are made into poison for enemies and strengtheners for the undead.
The horror of the Scourge Legion began to gradually reveal itself.
