Chapter 761 Balnazar

Duke is already a legend.

Legends of the previous generation.

A legend about a poor boy who climbed to a high position by his own efforts.

It is also a legend of the ultimate that a mage can achieve.

Countless new generations of mages have unspeakable admiration and expectations for Duke.

Especially after Duke led the Scarlet Crusade and lifted the siege of Dalaran by the Scourge like divine soldiers descending from heaven, this longing and expectation reached its peak.

To be honest, the mages of Dalaran didn't have much resistance from the bottom of their hearts to Duke's announcement that he would challenge the position of Speaker. After all, Antonidas has indeed aged over the years, and various extremely conservative policies have become unpopular.

Duke's challenge was a bit abrupt, but it wasn't unacceptable.

but……

It should never be such an extremely arrogant tone, even wishing for Antonidas to die.

Mograine and Abbendis couldn't believe their ears.

Kael'thas' handsome face was filled with shock and disbelief!

What did Duke say just now?

Those arrogant words that even Terenas didn't dare to say when Lordaeron was at its strongest, really came from Duke?

Is Duke turning into a tyrant?

Even Antonidas, who was involved, didn't know what to say.

At this time, Duke, who was under the spotlight, shrugged and let out a breath.

"Okay, the joke is over. I simulated what it would be like if a big devil occupied a high position in the alliance."

Mograine and Abbendis: "..."

Kelsas and other congressmen: "..."

Countless melon-eating mages were watching: "..."

your sister! Duke, what do you want to do? Are you trying to scare people to death by saying something like this suddenly? What the hell are you doing?

The next moment, Duke's expression became sad.

His voice became deeper, and he began to speak in an almost mournful voice: "I have had a very magical ability since I was a child. I have never believed in the Holy Light, but I can distinguish evil. Fifteen years ago, in When I was just a magic apprentice, I saw an unforgettable scene..."

Duke seemed to bring up something that happened fifteen years ago for no reason, when he was a magic apprentice, which made all the alliance bosses feel nervous.

Fifteen years ago, being a magic apprentice?

Wouldn't that be...

"I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to join the Royal Academy of Magic in Stormwind City at that time. The most powerful magician in the world at the time, Lord Medivh, announced in public that he was willing to accept me as his disciple. I refused. Although I pretended to be young and energetic at the time, The excuse used for rejection is that I am greater than great and I want to surpass Medivh, but the real reason, do you know why?"

No one knows why Duke said no.

However, at this time, everyone remembered the first battle that Duke became famous for - the shocking battle in Karazhan with Medivh, who was possessed by the demon king Sargeras.

Everyone suddenly thought of something.

I have thought of it, but everyone can be sure.

Everyone looked suspiciously at Antonidas, who was all normal.

Duke continued in a deep voice: "Yes! Everyone guessed it right! I have an extraordinary talent of being able to see the essence of things through their appearance. Back then, I could tell at a glance that Medivh had been possessed by a demon. However, Back then, I was just a mere magic apprentice, and no one would believe my words. Now..."

Duke suddenly pointed his finger at Antonidas, with tears in his eyes: "Now, in the name of the commander of the alliance, I order Mograine and Abbendis to use [Exorcism] to attack Antonidas! "

[Exorcism] is not an offensive spell for ordinary races, but for the undead and demons, it is poison!

On weekdays, mages and priests are notoriously at odds with each other.

This is a battle of ideas. After all, one believes in arcana that is more material and can be explained theoretically; the other believes in the Holy Light - pure idealism. Therefore, there is no Holy Light Church in Dalaran, and most of the only priests are battle priests invited back.

Not to mention that no one would be so painful that they would use [Exorcism] to attack the dignified Archmage Xiri.

But Duke gave the order, and Mograine and Abidis led a group of paladins to rush over. As soon as they entered the shooting range, a large amount of holy light would hit them.

Time seemed to be frozen.

Every Dalaran mage had confusion written all over their face.

They couldn't figure out whether this was a power struggle or something else.

As expected, Antonidas shouted: "Duke Marcus! What are you doing? You are using the power of the Alliance to grossly interfere in the internal affairs of Dalaran, the capital of free magic! Do you think you will succeed? Retreat? Get off—or I will announce that Dalaran has officially withdrawn from the Alliance!"

Duke's cheek muscles were trembling, and his clenched fists were shaking.

"Quit the alliance!? You don't have this right - Dread Lord Balnazzar!" Finally, with the last word in his words, Duke took action.

Those were dozens of mage hands that suddenly appeared in the void. Each mage hand held a bottle of holy water to exorcise evil spirits. The mouth of the bottle was opened, and the golden holy water was poured over Antonidas's head.

If he was still the same Antonidas as before, nothing would happen to him even if he got soaked through.

However, he is not...

Facing the massive amount of holy water, he did not use any magic. Instead, relying on Antonidas's old body, he made a gorgeous dodge that even the top thieves could not compare with.

With a backward leap, his whole body flew backwards for a full twenty meters!

right! That's right!

The Dread Lord Balnazzar!

He was the one in the original history who took the opportunity to occupy the body of Saidan Dathrohan who was alone during the battle when humans tried to regain Stratholme, and used the entire Scarlet Crusade as his tool to make countless fanatical rebels Balnazzar, the Scourge warrior who fell victim.

Because of Duke's emergence, history changed again. Balnazzar, who was supposed to attack Saidan, actually succeeded in ambushing the extremely powerful Antonidas.

If the system elf hadn't prompted Duke to see with his own eyes that the mark on Antonidas' head had been changed to a hostile red color and labeled 'Undead', Duke wouldn't have believed that Antonidas had been killed.

Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back. In order to prevent hundreds of thousands of people in Dalaran from being tricked to death by Balnazzar, Duke could only expose Balnazzar in public!

The next moment, Duke, who used a flash to appear directly in front of Balnazzar, hit Antonidas' body directly with a staff enchanted with [Exorcism], knocking the Dread Lord out of Antonidas' body.

What is displayed in front of everyone's eyes is a huge and evil terrifying existence...

I'm guilty... I made the 5th update and immediately knelt down.
