Chapter 259 Good Deals
The dazzling starlight and destructive energy instantly engulfed a large area!
"Shadow Barrier!"
"Sharing the pain!"
"Ironclad Body Protection!"
"Phantom Dance!"
The four generals each used their own methods, some defending, some dodging, and some enduring the attack head-on, and the scene instantly descended into extreme chaos and violence!
Lin Tian stood like a cold-blooded Grim Reaper at the center of the energy storm, his staff waving repeatedly. Arcane Explosion supplemented the damage, and the chains of Law Imprisonment flashed from time to time, trying to lock onto a specific target. Star Rays, like the Grim Reaper's signature, accurately shot at the enemy who showed a weakness.
He alone, with his endless stream of powerful skills and precise control of the battle, managed to suppress the combined offensive of the four Abyss Generals!
Celia wasn't idle either. She suppressed the complex emotions in her heart and locked her gaze on the relatively vulnerable Sahras. [Shadow Thorns] kept stabbing out from the shadows to interfere with her movements, while the mental impact of [Succubus's Kiss] was also waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The battle has reached a fever pitch!
The roar of colliding energies, the crisp sound of clashing weapons, the howls of monsters, the explosions of skills... all blended into a violent symphony, playing wildly on the scorched land beneath Dark Eclipse City.
Lin Tian maximized his attribute advantages and skill combination. Facing the siege of the four generals, he moved nimbly, combining offense and defense, and did not fall behind at all!
Kael'thas's second wave of interception forces is engaged in an unprecedentedly difficult battle.
The outline of Dark Eclipse City loomed in the distance, as if watching the bloody battle that would decide who would rule its gates.
......
Deep within the city of Dark Eclipse, between a throne constructed of obsidian and solidified shadow.
The air was thick with abyssal demonic energy, and the distorted light shone through the vengeful crystals embedded in the dome, casting mottled spots of light that made the figure sitting on the throne appear even more majestic and eerie.
Kael'thas was lounging lazily on his throne.
He wore a magnificent dark purple robe embroidered with intricate and ancient abyssal runes in gold thread. His pale, slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne, producing a rhythmic "tap, tap" sound.
Before him, a massive mirror made of pure shadow energy floated in mid-air, clearly reflecting the fierce battle taking place on the scorching battlefield outside the city.
He saw Gruul's furious yet repeatedly missed attacks, saw Sahras's ghostly movements yet her inability to get close, and saw Sathova and Mal'Ganis tightly restricted by various area-of-effect skills and control effects, unable to unleash their true power.
He also witnessed how the human mage named Lin Tian, with an almost elegant composure, maneuvered amidst the siege of the four generals. With a wave of his staff, stars fell, arcane magic surged, and chains of law swept across the sky, turning what should have been a crushing defeat into a closely fought and evenly matched struggle.
"Heh..." Kael'thas let out a low, amused laugh, breaking the silence between the thrones.
He turned his head slightly to look at the adjutant who stood silently to the side, like a shadow.
"See that, my dear niece, Celia... She always seems to have good luck. Even after leaving Dark Eclipse City, she still managed to find such an... interesting human as an ally."
His tone carried a condescending tone, as if he were commenting on an unexpected collectible.
In the mirror, there was a fleeting image of Lin Tian using [Starry Sky Storm] to temporarily force Gruul and Sahras back, while simultaneously using [Law Imprisonment] to lock down Mal'Ganis, who was attempting to chant a large curse.
"That foolish woman, Superses, was obsessed with manipulating people's hearts but couldn't see the difference in absolute strength; Morgus had brute strength but a mind as simple as a stone. Their deaths at the hands of this human, though they lost some power, weren't too unexpected."
Kael'thas said indifferently, as if the dead were just two insignificant ants, not his generals.
"This human... is indeed quite interesting." A glint of inquiry flashed in his crimson eyes.
"His ability to kill Superses and Morgus, regardless of the special methods he used, proves his extraordinary talent. Now, he's even holding his own against Sasova and the other three... Tsk tsk, this level of strength is probably what's called a 'top player,' right?"
A cold, cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips, a sense of superiority born from knowing the secrets and being in control of the situation.
"What a pity, what a pity." Kael'thas shook his head slightly, his tone full of feigned regret. "Such a brilliant human genius is about to... perish here."
He leaned forward slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through a magical mirror, landing directly on Lin Tian, his voice carrying a chilling pleasure:
"He probably doesn't know yet, does he? In this Abyss Plane, the writers of the rules... are the Will of the Abyss! These outsiders, these so-called 'players,' when they die here, won't return to some ridiculous starting village or main city resurrection point like they do in their safe material plane..."
His voice gradually became cold and clear, each word like the spitting of a venomous snake:
"Here, death! They will... rise from the ashes!"
"Just imagine it," Kael'thas said, a look of near ecstasy on his face as if he could already see the beautiful scene.
"Such a powerful human mage, after exhausting all his strength and believing he had defeated my subordinates, found himself facing a truly desperate death."
"This is absolutely the perfect ending!"
He couldn't help but chuckle again, leaning back on his throne with a smug look on his face.
"Not only will I be able to successfully bring back my beloved niece Celia and reclaim the [Abyssal Blood Core] that rightfully belongs to me, but I will also gain an undead servant with boundless potential and completely destroy a future top-tier human combat force... And the price I pay is merely the insignificant lives of those two worthless trash, Subses and Morgus."
"That's... an absolutely perfect deal."
Kael'thas concluded, his crimson eyes gleaming with an air of absolute control.
He waved his hand, and the image in the magic mirror rippled slightly, zooming in to lock onto Lin Tian's fighting figure more clearly, as if admiring a precious prey about to be caught.
"Enjoy your final 'shining moment,' human. Soon, you and your power will... belong to me."
