Chapter 772 The Strongest in the Alliance
Remember the magic circuit transfer?
There are two necessary conditions for the transfer: first, both parties must be of the same blood and origin; second, it must be a living transplant; third, the transferee must be voluntary.
No one would have thought of such a magical situation, that is, both Duke and Antonidas meet these three points.
Duke originally used Antonidas's [Arcane Throne] and [Ice Crown]. Although when he received the [Fire of the Sun] gift package at Wyrmrest Temple, his magic circuits were expanded and transformed. But the basics won't change.
Regarding living creatures... at least, before old man Anthony returned to his body as a demon spirit, his body was still alive. He was just a vegetative person who had almost forgotten to breathe and was about to stop showing signs of life on his own.
The old man's soul had not returned at that time, so the magic circuit extended from the soul would naturally not have any resistance from the former owner. So at that moment, Antonidas was 'voluntary'.
Precisely because of the successful magic circuit transplantation with Ilucia, Duke, with the assistance of the system elves, has become extremely proficient in this work.
In the brief moment when Duke held Antonidas' body, Duke directly took away more than 60% of the magic circuits of the old Xiri mage. It's a pity that there is not enough time. Duke only plunders the peripheral and middle magic circuits, and the real core has no time to dismantle. If Duke can be given one hour, Du, as an honest and reliable young man, can definitely bring Antonidas back. When you become a magic apprentice.
This is why after Antonidas returned to his body and became a great lich, his combat power plummeted.
After being robbed of 60% of his magic circuits, he could still barely maintain Xiri's rank. It can only be said that the original Antonidas was very, very strong.
Of course, a mage's strength and vulnerability have always coexisted.
A God of Dharma who is fully on guard can certainly kill the air in seconds, but if he makes a mistake, even a person as powerful as Medivh, the demigod at that time, can be killed with just one sword.
Having snatched away 60% of the circuits, Duke has entered the Xiri level in terms of 'measurement'.
However, Duke is still not the real Xi Ri.
After all, the time was too short, and Duke had not had time to transform all of Antonidas's magic circuits. Every mage has different habits of using magic. In order to better practice their metamagic expertise, everyone will subdivide and specialize their outermost magic circuits.
Also, Duke was always aiming for the strongest path back then.
If his goal is just Xiri, then having Antonidas's 'legacy' is enough for him to advance.
Duke is pursuing the strongest path - the path of the three-system magic god based on [Arcane] and equipped with equal levels of [Fire] and [Frost] is certainly extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, after Alexstrasza and Malygos enthusiastically helped, this pit became extremely huge. Under normal circumstances, it is very likely that Duke will not be able to develop so many magic circuits even if he is a hundred years old.
Now let alone the [Flame] whose shadow is not visible on the other side, just on the [Frost] side, Antonidas's 60% circuit is only bubbling and making a little noise.
There are only four words to describe the current situation——
Far from enough!
What else could Duke do? I can only smile bitterly!
In the eyes of others, Duke is already the Great Master of the Sun, or is very close to the legendary position of the God of Magic.
It's your own business, you know it yourself.
Of course, Duke himself couldn't publicly expose this wonderful misunderstanding.
The alliance is facing a catastrophic situation. There is no exciting news, and it is not surprising to have an avalanche effect.
Duke could only pretend.
What's more, as long as Duke is given enough time, Duke thinks that with the magic power in his own magic circuit, his combat power will not be weak against the sun.
Okay, now in the eyes of others, Duke Marcus, the newly promoted Archmage of the Sun, is surrounded by a group of alliance generals and proudly steps onto the pier made of ice that looks like a work of art.
Walking on the slippery ice and looking at the flawless ice pier that was formed in one go, Kael'thas showed envious eyes.
"If my father also practiced the frost system, he wouldn't be able to reach Duke's level of control!" Kael'thas sighed while recalling his father's magic demonstration to him back then.
It was a vivid fire element phoenix the size of a peacock, condensed with flame elements. I still remember that I was sincerely impressed by the delicate fire feathers on Phoenix's body.
However, compared with Duke's move, although I don't want to be convinced, I vaguely feel that Duke is slightly better.
The difficulty of controlling one's own magical elements increases exponentially as the distance increases.
This is why the maximum range of ordinary mages using [Fireball] is only 36 yards.
It's not that you don't want to throw it farther, but if you throw it too far, the fire element will dissipate and lose its lethality.
It seems like Duke can build a large section of the pier in one go, King Anastrian might be able to do it.
But once on such a huge beach, thirty-six piers were lined up to withstand the impact of warships when they docked. Kael'thas didn't believe that he could do it. Even if it were to use another method, such as a more sophisticated one that only provided thirty-six large flame walls for barbecue flames, this was not something that my father could do.
For Duke, I can only marvel.
At this time, a large ship in the distance under the flag of Jaina began to slowly enter the harbor.
The huge bow is facing the wind and waves.
A graceful female figure wearing a gold-rimmed blue-bottomed robe stood on the bow of the ship like a goddess crossing the sea, looking at this instant miracle on the coast.
Duke saw Gianna and was deeply moved.
The heroine of the Alliance, Jaina Proudmoore, who has appeared throughout the history of Azeroth's wars starting from the Battle of the Dark Portal, has finally grown up.
Mature, beautiful, touching...
If it hadn't been for that lost decade, Duke would have been sure to have Gianna firmly in his hands.
Now we can only take advantage of the situation.
Jaina was also staring at Duke on the dock.
Duke Marcus, a living legend.
Regardless of his deeds or his strength, mortals will never forget it.
Such a peerless strong man is actually his fiancé in name, but there is no relationship at all between him and him.
Jaina didn't know what expression she should use to face Duke.
A soft blue and white robe was shrouded in a strange, chilly air that felt like nothing more than a refreshing chill. Under the summer sun, the frost elements floating around him emitted a bright light like diamond stardust.
At this time, Duke Marcus, the truly strongest player in the league, appeared.
