Chapter 353

The countless undead creatures of the Scourge Legion also contain powerful death energy, and this death energy must not be wasted—it will all become her nourishment.

Gather them all to Icecrown Citadel, then absorb their death energy myself, increasing my own strength, and also solve Luode's problem in Azeroth—truly a win-win.

"Then I'll leave everything to you. I'll set up a barrier here to guarantee your safety. At the same time, I'll open a permanent portal here connecting to Undercity." Luode said.

"Don't worry! There will be no problems. The death energy here is destined to be mine." Hela nodded at Luode and spoke.

After settling the affairs of Icecrown Citadel, as the legion commander of this Icecrown Citadel campaign, Luode proudly opened the Lich King's treasury and obtained within it a death warhorse, a winged flying death warhorse.

This is none other than the famed Invincible Steed! Countless Azerothian warriors have rushed here in succession, charging toward the Lich King's fortress, all for this mount, all to have it appear in their collection.

To obtain this legendary mount, each player, every cooldown, will level at least seven or eight alternate characters to max level, then come to solo it, doing a weekly daily to slay the Lich King Arthas.

"Luode, don't tell me you want this death warhorse." Sylvanas looked at the excited Luode, somewhat speechless as she spoke.

What peculiar fetish does this guy have? Why does he like collecting all sorts of mounts? Earlier in Undercity, he even had me specially make several giant bats and death warhorses as his mounts, yet he never rode any of them once.

Moreover, what special significance does this death mount have? Is it just because it grew wings? This is strange, isn't it? This horse was once Arthas's mount in life, and after its accidental death,

Arthas resurrected it as a death knight. But the problem is, if you resurrect it, just resurrect it! Becoming an undead creature is normal enough, but why did it grow a pair of wings?

"Hahaha! Come on! Men have their little hobbies, just like you used to collect a bunch of lightweight small armors—those small armors are also your collecting habit.

I don't have many desires. My only desire is to collect all sorts of strange and wondrous mounts, then place them in my collection."

Luode said, skillfully using the power of the Hun Hun Fruit to undo Arthas's control over Invincible, then injecting some soul energy into it, making it his personal mount.

The skeleton warhorse spread its wings and let out a loud cry! Then it lowered its skull head, affectionately rubbing against Luode.

"Hahaha! Good child, from now on you'll bear my surname." Luode said happily.

This time was truly awesome! I once served as the gold team leader of Ulduar raid, then took down the flying head, and immediately after became the legion commander of Icecrown Citadel, then took down Invincible Steed.

If this were in the past, if Luode dared to do this once in the guild, it would be like the Brothers' Sword coming out—henceforth, no more brothers!

"Lord Luode, are you not interested in the Lich King's other collectibles? For example, some undead research materials, and also some saronite ingots from the Lich King's private collection?" Kael'thas said.

Northrend has vast amounts of Titan-forged steel, for this place was once where the Titans' creations lived.

And since Yogg-Saron began breaking free of its seal, his blood has seeped out, contaminating some ordinary iron ore—these are saronite, and besides that, some Titan-forged steel ore has also been contaminated by Yogg-Saron.

These are the true, genuine saronite, the finest forging material.

"Not needed. If I want this stuff, I can have as much as I want." Luode said indifferently.

Joke—now Yogg-Saron is split in two by me and sealed within two outsider stone idols.

True saronite is merely a part of Yogg-Saron's power, having touched Titan-forged steel—this I can now do myself.

This top-tier forging material, which to mortals is exquisite, is worth nothing to Luode.

Now he finally understands why Sargeras looked down on these top-tier materials—because for Sargeras, they are as abundant as he wants.

"Then Lord Luode, I, I may take some of the Lich King's private collection?" Kael'thas asked cautiously.

"If you like it, help yourself!" Luode said.

After hearing Luode's words, Kael'thas nodded excitedly, then proceeded to the lower levels of Icecrown Citadel, began gathering his own blood elf subordinates, and started collecting throughout the Lich King's palace.

He gathered all the saronite, which also included not a little of the Lich King's necromancy and various research technologies of the Scourge Legion.

Sylvanas also collected some death knight magic and various rare materials along the way. "Luode! Just now Darian Mograine said he intends to craft a weapon to deal with the Lich King, but now the Lich King has already been killed by you. So this weapon won't really..." Sylvanas said.

"A weapon to deal with the Lich King—don't tell me it's Shadowmourne." Luode said.

This orange weapon indeed has a special quest, and upon completion, one also obtains Sylvanas's music box.

However, in World of Warcraft canon, this weapon should not exist at all. Because. This weapon requires many materials, all gathered in Icecrown Citadel, and even some materials need to use the Lich King's, Frozen Throne shards.

If one could breach Icecrown Citadel, why remake this weapon? This weapon, bluntly, is glass shards designed to compensate players for the resentment over Frostmourne not dropping.

"It's said to require many materials, with very complex steps, but it does require consuming some true saronite, and it's said that after forging, its power is absolutely not inferior to Frostmourne." Sylvanas said.

"Do as you please! If this weapon can be forged, you bring it to show me." Luode said.

"Understood, I'll inform Darian of this, if he forges this legendary weapon..."

Luode nodded, and afterward Icecrown Citadel had nothing more for him to do. Luode directly opened the portal, bringing Sylvanas and his trusted subordinates back to Undercity.

"Luode, are you sure Hela is fine? Can she truly resist the existence called the Warden?" Sylvanas asked.

"We must trust Hela—she possesses immense power! Moreover, Arthas himself is not affected by that Warden." Luode said.

Just after collecting Arthas's soul, Luode read some of his memories—Arthas could indeed hear the Warden's words, but he could defy its commands.

From Arthas's memories, Luode learned why he built Icecrown Citadel: for the future.

After turning all Azerothian life into undead, to launch an attack on the Shadow Realm and seize its power.

No need to say—this idea is utterly crazy and utterly unrealistic. Do you really not know your own weight?

All your power was given to you by others—do you really think you cultivated it yourself?

When my power first began to grow, it was indeed relying on Azeroth, but later, chakra power, domineering power—these were all obtained by myself.

With your level, going there is just feeding heads.

"Truly hard to believe that half-god adult, that monster who destroyed our world, actually... actually just got defeated like this, leaving me with a dreamlike feeling." Kael'thas looked at Luode and spoke.

Isn't that right? This feeling feels somewhat unreal. Back then he followed Illidan and launched a northern expedition once, but that northern campaign.

The Lich King Arthas wasn't nearly as strong back then as he is now—at that time he was merely the strongest death knight—but the power he displayed was utterly crushing, endless waves of skeleton armies, frenziedly assaulting their gathering places.

The blood elf race, together with Lady Vashj's naga race under her command, gave their all to open a road to the Frozen Throne for Illidan, letting Illidan go alone to deal with the Lich King.

Result: Illidan disappointed everyone's hopes, was easily defeated by Arthas, then fled to Outland, immediately began to lose motivation, sinking into training his demon hunter legion.

But this time, following my new master, I finally did not disappoint—he successfully defeated that villain Arthas, avenging the entire blood elf race.

After chatting a few more sentences with Kael'thas, this blood elf prince bade farewell and left, returning to Quel'Thalas.

Next he still has a pile of things to handle, such as dealing with those blood elves resurrected by Luode using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

This time Luode brought back a very special spoil: the Frost Wyrm Queen, consort of the Blue Dragon King, Sindragosa.

Luode's current level has reached the True God stage, and using the Reincarnation of Heaven Born technique can resurrect demigod-level life forms—though he will weaken slightly, Luode wants to try, to see if he can resurrect this Blue Dragon Queen.

This Blue Dragon Queen is somewhat distant from true demigod, but her life level is absolutely not low—even if it fails, Luode will suffer no loss. (End of chapter)
