Chapter 461 Nightmare Curse

Duke suddenly recalled what was going on.

I always thought that as long as he didn't face him directly, a super boss like Gul'dan wouldn't notice him. In fact, Duke's absolute power is taken for granted. He is not an unknown person, he has become the deputy commander of the alliance, and he has so many outstanding achievements, it is impossible for Gul'dan not to have heard of his name.

It's not that Duke didn't know that Gul'dan was just playing in his dreams, trying to steal Medivh's power and spy on Medivh's knowledge in his dreams, but it happened that Old Mai was stabbed by Duke at that time. Gul'dan, who was in the spiritual link, suffered incidentally and fell into a coma, which led to the Shadow Council being ransacked by Orgrim.

But people are like this, there will always be a lot of luck.

Now, Duke is paying a terrible price for that fluke.

curse!

Yes, it came from the last 'gift' left to Duke by Sargeras before he was thrown into the bottomless abyss.

At that time, the curse was divided into three equal shares. The biggest share was carried by Elan, and the result was wiped out. About one-third was carried by Anduin Lothar. It is estimated that Duke suffered less than one-tenth.

It is true that the effect was apportioned, but Duke forgot that he was the subject of the curse.

In fact, the curse has not been lifted, just because no more power has been injected to continue the curse, making the curse seem invalid.

Duke really never expected that Gul'dan would trigger this thing when he failed to forcefully control his soul when he was in a dream, and it would be a big blow to him...

At this moment, on the ship, Gul'dan opened his eyes.

"What an interesting little guy, is he really only sixteen years old? He actually resisted my mental intimidation."

The two-headed ogre mage hero Cugall touched different foreheads with his left and right hands at the same time: "In this world, apart from that Medivh, there are actually humans who can resist your mental attack?"

Gul'dan stroked his short beard: "No, I haven't done anything to this Duke before. It's not that I can't do it, but I don't have the mood. In my opinion, to corrode this kid's spirit and control it, It only takes a little time. Of course, I can destroy his soul early, and if I do so, it may be cheaper for Orgrim."

Gugall was different: "Then why do you want to attack him now?"

Gul'dan looked angry: "The stupid alliance actually let Orgrim's main force go! If I don't control Duke and use the alliance's hand to weaken the Horde, Orgrim is likely to catch up and interfere with my plan. I have people from two clans here, so I can’t go fast at all. It’s a pity that the control failed, otherwise I would have plenty of time to explore the tomb of Sargeras.”

In fact, Duke also realized that Gul'dan probably wanted to simply and violently intimidate and subdue him, then control his soul and manipulate him into a puppet. It is very convenient to have a deputy commander of the alliance as a puppet, whether it is to assassinate Orgrim or for his great cause of Gul'dan's future world domination.

It's just that Gul'dan didn't expect that Duke would actually resist his soul coercion. In fact, Gul'dan suffered a little soul damage when breaking the nightmare realm he created. Otherwise, how could Gul'dan become angry from embarrassment and directly trigger the curse to kill Duke?

Either way, Duke is miserable.

After obviously coming to this world, Duke has paid great attention to exercising. However, now that a curse is triggered, Duke immediately becomes weak.

No!

Duke screamed in his heart, his mouth could no longer make a sound.

This is not the ending he expected!

Obviously, through a series of struggles, his career has been on the right track and he has reached a high position in the league. After experiencing the brutal Second War at the Dark Portal, his influence in the Alliance will reach its peak.

Practice magic skills, let your name resound in heaven and hell, marry Bai Fumei, and set foot on the pinnacle of life, this is the ending that a successful traverser should have!

But what the hell is it now? The curse actually started to crazily absorb his vitality again! ?

No - I must not die here.

Duke tried to use his magic, such as opening [Ice Barrier], to drive away all negative effects with absolute ice elements.

However, the instant magic he had tried and tried could not be activated.

Not only that, he also couldn't contact the system elf.

Duke's attempts to make any possible moves also failed.

Only the eyeballs can move in the whole body-yes, he is paralyzed.

This is true both on a physical and spiritual level.

He vaguely knew that this was the soul shock that Gul'dan gave him before he lifted the dream contact.

Now, Duke's mind became more and more blank, and he could only watch in a daze as Vanessa approached him with an exclamation, and Gavin Ladd stretched out his big hand to touch his face.

This first contact made him feel again for the first time since he entered the paralyzed state. Obviously Gavinrad's hand was full of holy light, but the touched place seemed to be burned by fire. Come to the pain.

It hurts so much that it feels like your brain is going to melt. In a trance, Duke only felt that a deep wound had appeared on his face.

"【Exorcism】!" Gavinrad yelled like thunder.

Duke seemed to have come to his senses. Subconsciously, he raised his hand and touched his face, only to find that there was no wound at all.

"Did you hear me? Duke! Don't move, and accept my [Holy Light] with all your heart." Gavinrad turned his head and glanced at Ilucia who rushed out of the next room, and shouted: "Notify Uther to come here immediately! It is best to call Antonidas!"

Duke opened his heart, allowing the massive amount of holy light to rush into his body, into his soul.

"call."

"call!"

"call--"

Inhale, exhale.

Inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale again.

Originally, the beating of the heart and the breathing of the lungs are absolutely commonplace for a living person, but for Duke, it has become an action that can only be done by forcing the body with his own will. And every movement is bound to be accompanied by pain.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from every pore on Duke's forehead and body. Vanessa, who was serving beside her, couldn't beat her even if she was extremely agile.

The clever Ilucia was the first to notify Antonidas. The number one archmage of mankind rushed over quickly, and brought Uther directly through the portal.

Fortunately, Duke accepted Gavin Ladd as a bodyguard, and fortunately, several key players in the league were available, and Duke's situation was quickly stabilized.

After a consultation with a group of big bosses except Alonsus, they came to a horrifying conclusion—if left alone, Duke would lose his vitality and die of exhaustion within a month.
