Galen and his group quickly reached the northwest of Dragonbone Waste. The Wrathgate was not far away. Then, they witnessed Illidan's raid, with a large number of Nerubian spider-demons rushing out to intercept him.
The Spider Lord Anub'arak even confronted Illidan.
However, this clumsy beetle was no match for Illidan. The agile Demon Hunter toyed with him. If not for his heavy carapace and his undead state, he would have died under the Warglaives of Azzinoth long ago.
"He's coming!"
Galen whispered to Onyxia and the Shadowblades beside him.
The group watched as Arthas drew him away.
"Heaven helps me!"
The Wrathgate was the Lich King's home gate. Implementing his plan here would be too easily exposed. This Arthas was so arrogant after his power surged that he wanted to lure Illidan away for a one-on-one fight!
Galen was almost laughing to death!
"Follow them. Listen to my commands later and act according to the plan!"
"Understood!"
On the other side, Arthas and Illidan had already engaged in a fierce battle. Arthas's mount had lost its four legs and was lying on the snow. Perhaps because he resented Invincible for carrying Arthas away, Illidan vented his anger on this undead horse.
This enraged Arthas. The importance of Invincible was unparalleled in his heart. Anasterian Sunstrider, the High Elf King who attacked Invincible's legs last time, had been dead for almost a year!
"Demon, you have angered me! You will regret it!"
Frostmourne in Arthas's hand emitted a black magic, devouring the surrounding light like a black hole.
Then, he rushed forward, approaching Illidan in a few steps, and Frostmourne slashed down fiercely.
Illidan crossed the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hands, and emerald green light shot out from the blades, facing Frostmourne's ice-blue light.
The two began to exert all their strength to suppress each other but found that they were evenly matched in strength.
"Human, you exude the stench of the dead. I heard all the way from the Eastern Continent that you used this sword to kill your own father and destroy your own kingdom? You are such a good son!"
A flash of anger flashed in Arthas's eyes!
"You're not much better, demon. I heard that the woman you liked married your elder brother? Hmm? Loser!"
"Ah!"
Illidan, relying on his body strengthened by demonic power, surpassed Arthas in strength. He roared and pushed Arthas back, wanting the Death Knight to lose his balance.
But Arthas quickly regained his balance, stabilized his figure, and launched another attack, suppressing Illidan's attack with a fierce posture!
Galen, hiding in the distance, watched with relish, even commenting in his heart. Illidan's combat skills were elegant, and his strength was strengthened to demigod level by demonic power!
Arthas was no ordinary Death Knight either. At this time, with the Lich King's augmentation, his strength also broke through to the demigod level. At the same time, his Frostmourne was not an ordinary sword but a divine weapon of the same level as the Warglaives of Azzinoth!
The strength of the two was not much different. They both had artifacts, but Illidan was a veteran powerhouse, while Arthas had just received the Lich King's augmentation. Therefore, the Demon Hunter was better in experience.
Galen's guess was completely correct. In the subsequent battle, Illidan gradually turned the tide of victory by relying on his combat skills.
"Give up, Death Knight, you can't turn the tide in one fell swoop!" Illidan roared, "Put down your weapon; maybe I will give you a quick death because you played with me for so long. If you don't want to, then I will extract your soul after I kill you!"
In a disadvantageous situation, Arthas tried to unleash a wave to inflict damage on Illidan, relying on his deathly body to rush forward directly. Frostmourne made a deafening sound, like a black hole in his hand, devouring the surrounding light, as if craving Illidan's death like its master.
But Illidan was not frightened by his sudden charge at all but continued to raise his twin blades in that calm posture, blocking Frostmourne. Then, the Warglaives of Azzinoth quickly slashed across the Death Knight's body. Each time sparks flashed, Arthas's body would have another wound.
Illidan began to show off his skills, and his dancing body drew afterimages in the air!
But unexpectedly, Arthas roared, waved Frostmourne, and met the rapidly falling Demon Hunter, the blade deeply piercing into flesh.
Arthas took advantage of the situation and dragged the blade, cutting a huge wound on Illidan's body.
Illidan let out a painful scream, blood splattering from his chest, melting the surrounding snow. The severe damage to his lungs made it difficult for him to breathe, and he didn't even have the strength to hold the Warglaives of Azzinoth!
Arthas endured the severe pain after his whole body was bitten by the demonic flames. He stared at Illidan, raised Frostmourne, and wanted to kill this demon with his own hands!
"This Illidan, he's so reckless when he's winning!"
Galen sighed in his heart. If Illidan had dealt with it with all his strength, abandoning his arrogance, perhaps there would be no second-generation Lich King.
But what he was waiting for was this moment.
"Act according to the plan!"
As Galen's voice fell, several Shadowblades beside him quickly disappeared into the air, heading towards the battlefield of Illidan and Arthas.
They ran all the way, throwing down white ivory towers along the way!
Soon, the white ivory tower took shape on the snow-covered frozen soil. The power of the Heart of Origin shielded all prying and sensing from external mental power.
Galen felt that there was no Lich King's prying in this area, and his mental connection with Arthas had been broken.
So he stepped into the battlefield.
Arthas and the severely injured Illidan were shocked, not expecting that there was a third force nearby!
"Galen!"
"It's you!"
These two were surprised by Galen's arrival!
"What do you want to do!"
They all knew that Galen was very strong. Now that they had just fought a life-and-death battle, they were no longer confident in dealing with Galen!
"Who me?"
Galen smiled, "I'm just hanging around!"
Galen kicked off the frozen soil under his feet, and the whole person ejected like a cannonball
