Arthas then went deeper into the caverns. More mosses into the damp place. The other prisoners on his mission were still unseen. And so Arthas went deeper. The torches flickered on the walls and the temperature dropped.
He was shivering and his breaths were letting out steam and the air was misty. Drops of water trickled from above and drops on the floor, making it wet in the process.The waters were rushing towards the deeper parts of the caverns. Also, the water was ice-cold, colder than before.He soon discovered an entrance in the waters didn't reach. Few traps were laid and Roan evaded them. Some were disarmed as he passed by.He soon arrived at the halls and saw guards patrolling. Arthas threw his throwing daggers toward the guards and they were hit in the chest. Killing them in the process. He soon delved deeper and saw an entrance to the prison.A room with torture instruments. Arthas observed and concluded that it was the torture room of the cult. ArtArthas entered the portal and then saw the camp. Further giving the quest items to the quest givers.Roan approached the Alchemist and she was happy to have her tools."Thank you so much, young lad, now I can resume my potion-making. I will give you one potion per week as a reward," she said in a sweet voice.Arthas then went towards the blacksmith shop and gave his tools. In a tent that has cold embers in the forge was a man waiting for him."Thank you young one. This camp is in your debt. I can forge you an item as a reward," he said then started his production. Arthas gave him the looted items to be smelted and he would forge a new weapon out of it.Arthas then went to the merchant and gave him his wares. Approaching the merchant who was already waiting for him. "Young lad, I am indebted to you! I can resume selling in this camp. Though not much, I assure you that I have the best wares here in camp. I am well aware of our circumstances and thus will
Arthas went into the midst of the camp and saw the Brazier that was not lit. Its embers were cold and rekindled ashes only greeted Arthas upon his arrival. The brazier was not emitting any radiance as of now. To light it up, Arthas needed some firewood and he has no firewood at the moment. And so, he went to the forest with his torch to gather firewood.The hoots of owls were heard and the crickets sang in their songs. Sticks were seen and were one by one gathered. Kent was with him and so he helped gather wood for the brazier. The sticks were one by one gathered and they piled them on the side. It was a peaceful night at that time and no monsters attacked. The winds were not heavy and were just slightly whooshing on the tree leaves. Leaves crackle with every step they made and by far, no monsters lurking within the cover on the night. Packing up, the firewood irked as they were lifted. Slightly making sounds as they readied to leave the spine-chilling forest.
Arthas went back to the camp and then entered the gates with his companions. Having successfully finished his mission made him happy. It was then, Prophet Isaias went to meet him. His face has a worried look on it. With his cane, he approached him. "I am in great joy to be finally freed. But my worries are still creeping into my mind. There is a necromancer general that fought Agares in the necromancer citadel. He let us here to escape but he sacrificed himself and fought the evils. Alas, he succeeded in letting us escape but it come with a price,""He became corrupted by Agares and our bravest general became one of his minions! I am saddened that he is once our greatest protector but is now an enemy. He is corrupting the other necromancers and making them allies of darkness,""I beseech you young one, end his sufferings and his sins. He has to end his corruption and be attuned to the light once more," Isaias said then coughed."I will take up your request," Ar
Arthas walked towards Isaias and he was in great worry. The darkness was spreading faster and they need to act fast. "Arthas! We are in great danger. My divination has foretold that the dagger of immortality is heading to evil's hands. Though the purpose of it is still unknown. Still! We must not laze around! Try to find the purpose of their mission later on. But now, we must seek guardians. We deeply need their wisdom while we face such threats. Our extinction will be at hand if we do not stop them!" Isaias' voice was trembling. His face was in distress and he felt uneasy about his actions."I will try to find out what will be their purpose. And I can also seek the guardians," Arthas' tone has confidence backing it. He thought that more problems arise with one solved."My divination also tells of a Map East from here. It has a map of all the tombs of the guardians. We should ask for their guidance. From the Eastern cemetery, head there, and inside was an inner san
Arthas entered the crypt and he lit up a torch as he entered. One by one, he lights up the torches on the walls and sees that it has wide space inside. The walls have patterns of curved lines and at the center of the crypt was a hero that killed a dragon and he was resting atop the head. A spear was embedded on the forehead and he raised his shield as he conquered the enemy.Arthas then saw the tomb at the center and crouched after he saw that the stone coffin had engravings on its surface. "To the dear Hero Eurlund that killed the Evil Dragon Beyruth. An unsung tale has to be told to the next generations as your heroic deeds in the past were eternal. That you killed the dragon that enslaved humanity once and for all." the engravings ended there as Arthas heard coffins shake. He was startled at what could that be. From where the coffins were, stood up skeletons that had armor with them. They were not summoned by a necromancer as Roan would think of it but were cursed h
The scrolls of the guardians—held within was the map of all guardian's locations of their tombs. With the guidance of Prophet Isaias, it would be a possibility to locate them.Arthas returned with the scroll with him and then arrived at the village. Seemingly tired from his travels and duels. With the scroll with him, he immediately approached Isaias who was already waiting for him outside his tent."Dear Arthas, at last, you've arrived! We don't have time to waste. Lend me the scroll to locate them immediately," Isaias said then moved to walk inside his tent.Arthas followed him inside as he swatted the curtain on the entrance. Inside, he saw numerous scrolls and parchments of papers seemingly not arranged and scattered all over the place. Upon the table, Arthas placed the scroll of the guardians and unrolled it. "The Scroll of Guardians! I am glad to finally have to hold it. I will try to use the divination spell as you wait. I must locate their locations immediat
Arthas entered the tomb and he saw the silhouette with brimming blue eyes. He can feel the aura that was emanating from him. Torches then lighted up the vast halls. Arthas approached and he saw him clearer. A tattered robe that was covering his armor inside. A full-plated armor that was endowed with. "What do you want young necromancer?" he asked in a reverberating voice. "I came to seek your guidance in these dark times, Guardian of necromancers," Arthas bowed slightly."What you seek is a bit difficult to be given. But the darkness is on the move. I can't let it slide to just watch on the sidelines. Tell the prophet that we need to revive the God of Creation. That's our only chance to fight these enemies. Also to do that, we need to gather all artifacts. He might know where he can use divination," he said then let out a sigh.Arthas then asked another thing, "I also have another thing to ask,"Scouring his backpack, he gave the badge of the necromancer e
"These are the skills you will inherit. Defeat them to be yours....." he said in a cold voice then walked back towards the guardian. His presence was slowly blocked by his summons. The enemies then went ready to attack him anytime and Arthas gulped a handful of saliva. He didn't know that enemies were this many. It was too much! All he could do was persevere until the end. The summon then pointed his fingers at him and commanded him to attack. Arthas then made his stance as he prepared for an all-out brawl. The Skeleton warrior attacked and he dueled it. He drew his longsword and their weapons clashed.Ting! Arthas then knee-kicked him and struck him on the chest. He elbowed the skeleton on the helm and then evaded the diagonal slash of the enemy. Further slashing it in the chest with a rising slash. The skeleton marksman then fired at him and Arthas stepped back and shielded using the skeleton warrior. Making it struck with the arrows. The Skeleton
"Arthas, you are so humble. You are unequaled in your past life right?" Isaias said to him. "Ah, yes," Arthas said to him putting a thumbs up."Let's go, we don't have anything to do here," Isaias said to him.It was then, just as they were about to prepare to leave, there was a Ranger that approached them. Clad in leather armor and robes to cover his body. A man in a hood has a scar on his face. He was in his thirties and was still brimming with energy. "Excuse me, gentlemen. How rude of me to disturb you but I am a scout sent by Commander Tullius the Third. My name is not important as I was just a measly scout. If I am not mistaken, are you one of the adventurers who survived the nightmares?" He asked while bowing. Head bent down then look up at them.Isaias was about to speak but Joan gestured at him to speak for himself."Are you perhaps from the kingdom's army?" Arthas asked. Letting him stand straight."Ah yes, my eyes will not fool me. You are the adventurer who I saw and seve
Roar!!!The three Demon Generals dashed towards Joan. Making him get the aggro from the three generals. Another one flew towards him, beating his wings and the air current fluctuated. Ripping the very air and the air made a clapping sound that was enough to be heard by everyone. Making the heroes cover their faces to the dirt and dust produced. They saw a lone figure flying in the air that was brimming with aura. Seeping out of his skin, mana and murderous aura. Eyes were sharpened and grinning at him with a wry smile. Arching the edge of his mouth. Arthas then used his big spells untowards them. [Solar flare]Bang!!!A great explosion was sent towards them. Blinding light radiated with heat that was felt by everyone. While looking at it, the enemies couldn't leave unscathed with his skill. While practically draining his mana, it was also effective. As the enemies wailed after his skill was launched. Allies were astounded by the majestic skill he has. "Is that the Mage's skill Sol
"Stop them!" Shouted the Demon Lord of Chaos. It was then, they realised that their bane will be soon unsealed. Upon the faces of the Demon Lords, etched with worries plastered into their faces. Grudge was felt in the deepest of their hearts as they soon enough realized that their fates will soon be doomed. All will be lost if they will not stop the heroes.Judging from what was happening, the heroes were close to being unsealed. Despite their struggles, they felt that the heroes will soon breathe again. The time was racing and the Demon Lords struggled to shake off the heroes.Bang! Boom!Upon their struggles, they shook them off, temporarily. They soon stared in Isaias' direction and blasted him off with their breaths. The Demon Lord of Affliction breathed fire, the Demon Lord of Chaos breathed poison, The Demon Lord of Corruption breathed dark fire. Bang! Boom!The chaos was insured and the target area was burned. It was then when the smoke from their breathes has vanished, Joan
The heroes attacked the Demon Lords. The Mage struck him with his lightning spell that blasted off the area. The Demon Lord of Chaos flew towards the heroes. Also, his other brothers transformed into their Demon forms. The Demon Lord of Corruption turned into a Dragonoid beast that has wings on his back. Also the Lord of Corruption into a huge beast. Making the heroes and other humans small compared to their size. Roar!!!The three of them roared and the tomb rumbled due to their loud voices. The Prophets then reinvigorated the soldiers to stand firm as the heroes were present. Making them reignited once more. The heroes attacked the Demon Lords with their numbers and banging sounds echoed the vicinity. Also, the Holy Knights and Paladins joined into the fray and attacked the enemies. The corrupted Holy Knights were one by one battled by the ones who were not turned. Echoes of their shouts were heard as they duelled their former comrades. Making it a hard battle for them mentally.
Inside the tomb where the two Demon lords were unsealing their brother, the Lord of Corruption was desecrating the heroes' statues. Looking for a way to stop them from awakening. The Demon Lord of Affliction was busily opening the seal. With him on the task of unsealing his brother, he was able to do it faster. Even without the help of his followers, he was fast enough. He was able to reach halfway on unsealing his brother. Non-other than the Lord of Chaos. Pulsating red was transpiring currently as the seal was weakening. Making them get closer to their goal.The Demon Lord of Corruption used the blood of the guards they have killed. Bathing the heroes' statues with their blood while chanting in their language. Soon after, they felt that entities were fast approaching their location. "Brother, we have company," Said the Demon Lord of Corruption."Yeah, I know," He said to his brother.It was then, clanging metals were heard from the exit of the tomb. Appearing Prophets and Holy Kn
The bright light was domineering and Arthas can't help but cover his eyes. It was the heroes that moved, feeling their freedom while gasping air and grasping their hands. Others were feeling their faces that seemed to have no changes at all. The heroes were glad that they once again felt that air. Making them smile at each other as they saw each other. Just as they were feeling the enjoyment, they immediately sensed the presence of the enemy that Arthas faced. Seeing and recognizing Prophet Isaias at the moment they saw a man in their front. It was then, they realized that they have to do their task again. Their joyous mood was once again stopped and they turned serious. All of them dashed towards the Demon captain. Staring at them while ready to fight anytime. Just as they were looking at him, they thought that it has to be done fast and efficient. They all attacked simultaneously using skills and spells at the enemy. Just at that moment, the enemy saw that he was disadvantaged and
"Demon Captain! I am sure of it. This sure will become interesting." Arthas said as he already knew what his enemy will be.This enemy was extraordinary, although it was weaker than Demon general, its combat prowess was greater on Demon general. On the contrary, the Demon general relies too much on magic and the Demon captains were combat junkies. They look like ordinary knights but were more powerful overall. They look like a knight but its armour was more sinister. Having spikes on their shoulder pads and have spikes on their helm. The Demon captain that appeared has a flail on his other hand and a round shield that has thorns. Clad in dark steel, making it a frightening foe to behold. Arthas stared at it with utter joy. It has stats that have landed on three hundred on its lowest and its highest were unknown. Making Arthas grin in utter delight but then turned serious. Their essence was one thing but they were a nasty foe to deal with. As Arthas estimated, it will be a battle to l
Arthas was dealing with the Demon pawns that were present inside the tomb. Meanwhile, Isaias was sneaking past some enemies and made use of the chaos that Joan instigated he went to the statues of heroes and saw them being petrified. He started to unseal them as soon as he arrived.Arthas then was smashing the enemies with his sword. His sword collided with their shields and it went sparking with every blow. Arthas soon saw that the enemies were damaged with his brute strength. His blows were as heavy as a two-handed mallet. Making them suffer blunt damages instead. Their innards were either crushed or ruptured in the process. They soon puked blood and then disintegrated. Leaving their armours in the ground. Arthas absorbed the essences and was glad to see them went inside his body. White lights entered his skin and it seeped inside him.Upon his happy mood, he was then assaulted on his front with a swing. He evaded in hairs breathe and saw that the weapon used was a morning star. Up
Located inside the Tomb where Arthas and Isaias delve deeper, the two were happy that they eliminated the enemies in the hall. Furthermore, Joan rested a bit. Still hearing some noise from the other side of the door. Even more so, they still hesitated a bit to move further. "Nice Arthas! you successfully defeated them. Well, I hope we will have smooth sailing from here forth. Or so I thought," Isaias said to Arthas."Ah, I guess more enemies are behind this door. You can sense them right?" Arthas said while facing the huge stone door. "Beyond that is the seal site. Where the Demon Lord of Affliction once sealed. We should proceed and hurry up, the heroes are waiting for us," Isaias said to him."Yeah," Arthas replied.They both touched the door and Isaias closed his eyes. Arthas can hear some wailings inside the door, his sense tells him that there were enemies farther from the door. Way beyond them was where the enemies were located. Still, Isaias opened it. Making the door glowed
