Chapter 654 - The Twins' Countermove

At this moment, a semblance of relief washed over every hero's face.

After all, this was still somewhat Duke's home turf.

The traces of demons being torn apart by hand and roasted by electric light on the first floor had given everyone a relatively objective understanding of Duke's colossal arcane golem, [The Curator].

Especially when The Curator, as agile as Thor descending from the heavens, shattered the ceiling above the stage and demonstrated an agility unlike other golems, launching two large electric balls directly in front of the Eredar Twins. Even the more composed Tirion Fordring couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done!"

"Hmph!" The Eredar Twins, having suffered a minor setback, grunted quietly and retreated half a step.

"Boom—" Another loud noise, and The Curator firmly positioned itself between the twins and the adventure team.

Oh, except for Muradin, who was too small and actually stood in the gap between The Curator's legs, unscathed.

Muradin turned his head and glared fiercely at Duke: "Hey! Duke! What is the meaning of this?!"

Duke ignored Muradin, for he saw something more crucial in the system prompt.

System Prompt: "Your boss-level mechanical construct attacked High Warlock Alythess (Projection) of the Eredar Twins, causing damage..."

Duke didn't read the rest, but this was enough!

If it were the Eredar Twins at their peak, even without Kazak making an appearance, Duke would be nearly scared to death. But in a projected state... the Eredar Twins' avatars were not truly here. As for how much combat power the avatars projected, Duke didn't know, estimating that having 30-40% would be the limit.

That's why The Curator's electric balls could repel the twins.

Just as a scoop of ordinary water cannot pierce a steel shield, lower mysteries are destined to be unable to shake higher mysteries. This is an iron law of the world of Azeroth. Since The Curator's attack was effective... heh heh!

Seeing the confident smile at the corner of Duke's mouth, the Eredar Twins also began to chuckle.

"Not bad, you insignificant human," Alythess was the first to speak.

"You've managed to see through our true strength in one breath," added Queen Sacrolash.

"Hmph! Kil'jaeden sends his lieutenants to dispatch two avatars, thinking to conquer Karazhan, this bridgehead of the human line of defense? He underestimates our Alliance too much, doesn't he?!" Duke was both showing off and boosting his teammates' morale.

What? Just the avatars of Kil'jaeden's lieutenants?

Every hero felt a surge of adrenaline. No, it was more like an injection of chicken blood.

Fighting against a powerful enemy requires courage, and launching a desperate charge knowing death is certain requires even more. Not everyone is Uther the Lightbringer. Compared to fighting demons in a demon encirclement, everyone preferred this kind of counterattack.

"For the Alliance! Charge!" Muradin was the first to rush forward.

He was immediately kicked flying by Queen Sacrolash. Although these two female demon lieutenants of Kil'jaeden were humanoid, their bodies were at least twice the height of a person. A kick was definitely painful. Muradin, like a high-flying ball hit by a baseball bat, flew backward wearing his heavy armor.

At this moment, Muradin, as a top warrior hero, showed his quality. Even in the posture of being airborne with nowhere to exert force, Muradin actually had the leisure to launch the warrior special skill [Intercept]. Consuming a surge of [Rage], the source of a warrior's power, Muradin suddenly kicked his short legs in mid-air, astonishingly causing a sonic boom below his feet, transforming into a streak of light, charging again towards Queen Sacrolash.

Not just [Intercept], Muradin also rapidly enlarged in the air. By the time he was about to crash into Queen Sacrolash, he had turned into a horizontally developed, chubby giant over two and a half meters tall and nearly four meters wide, and his whole body was silver with a metallic texture!

Dwarf talent divine skill—[Avatar]!

Lifting a leg thicker than an elephant's, Muradin, who was flying back at high speed, kicked directly at Queen Sacrolash's face, leaving a basin-sized black footprint on the queen's pretty face...

"Ah—" Accompanied by a scream from the queen, this proud female demon was kicked flying.

On the side, The Curator also slapped High Warlock Alythess. The Curator's kind of burst-type attack, which can use the power of thunder and lightning for short-term acceleration, also made Alythess uncomfortable.

Queen Sacrolash flew out only about three meters, but this demon warlock flew out nearly 10 meters.

"Hmm!?" Duke instinctively felt something was wrong.

Because he saw Alythess, who had been blown to the back door area of Karazhan, take out a brazier and light a pinch of something like dust with a flick of her hand.

"Not good! Curator, stop her!"

Under the control of the system sprite, The Curator, showing its greatest agility, unfortunately, was still a step too late.

Alythess showed a mocking expression on her face, and at this moment, she even had the leisure to recite Romeo's lines: "Would you provoke me? Then come!"

Yes!

For these proud and intelligent demons, every resistance from insignificant humans is a challenge to their supreme status. If it weren't for the spatial barrier laid down by the Titans who created the world in Azeroth back then, the Burning Legion would have easily conquered this world through the portal long ago.

Accompanying the high-level demon warlock's spellcasting, every adventurer in the team could clearly feel an ancient creature being awakened in the distance.

"Useless insects, let me show you my power!"

The signature line made Duke's face even grimmer.

This one is—Nightbane, a boss of Karazhan.

Just as The Curator, controlled by the system sprite, killed Alythess, a giant bone dragon, its entire body burning with dim flames, suddenly crashed through the thick wall from outside Karazhan and came in.

The two colossal beings collided without any fancy moves, fighting into a ball. Their wild battle quickly turned the already partially collapsed back door area into a true ruin.

Here, Queen Sacrolash was at a disadvantage. The Muradin in front of her was just a dead ruffian. After activating [Avatar], not only did all attributes skyrocket, he was immune to negative states like confusion and dizziness, and also had resistance to almost all elements to an astonishing degree, except for one attribute—Holy!

Muradin was not invincible, he would still feel pain when injured, and bleed. But there were three guys who believed in the Light behind him, vigorously healing him!

Seeing that she could not stop Queen Sacrolash, two paladins also temporarily acted as healers, generously infusing the Light into this giant dwarf.

Queen Sacrolash was angry and suddenly shouted: "Come out, Nether Dragon!"

In front of the Maiden of Virtue, who was about to rush to Kazak's portal, a new portal suddenly opened, and a phantom-like blue dragon appeared.
