Chapter 606: Dragon Lich

In fact, Roy had thought about this when Kil’jaeden asked the dreadlords to take out Frostmourne and prepare to create the Lich King Ner’zhul.
Just like how it was impossible for the same person to exist at the same time, which was a time paradox, it should also be impossible for the same item to exist.
Although Frostmourne had been reforged, it was still based on Roy’s Frostmourne. In essence, it was still his Frostmourne. So at the time, he had thought about what would happen if he took the original Frostmourne out of the system s.p.a.ce.
Roy had guessed that there might be s.p.a.cetime interference between these two Frostmourne, causing one of them to disappear.
Thus, he didn’t rashly take out Frostmourne and instead continued to leave it in the system s.p.a.ce. The system s.p.a.ce had the effect of isolating s.p.a.cetime and wouldn’t be disturbed by the current timeline.
While hiding the original Frostmourne, Roy realized something almost immediately. He probably needed to return to a certain point in time, take out the original Frostmourne, and hand it over to someone or an organization to reforge it. Only then would he be able to complete the closed loop of time regarding Frostmourne!
This was bound to happen. Otherwise, Roy wouldn’t have been able to see the reforged Frostmourne on Argus!
This was also why he judged that he would be sucked into a s.p.a.cetime vortex at a certain point in time. Only when a change in time happened to him could these events that he had encountered occur.
As for being sucked into a s.p.a.cetime vortex, on Azeroth, only Nozdormu could do it… But what puzzled Roy was that from the moment he entered Azeroth, he had already begun to disturb the timeline of this world. So why didn’t Nozdormu appear to stop him immediately?
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he didn’t dwell on it and proceeded according to his plan.
The current situation of Frostmourne verified some of his guesses. Since Frostmourne had this phenomenon of s.p.a.cetime interference, it was obvious that it should be the same for Arthas. The reforged Frostmourne in his hand was probably s.h.i.+ning like this at this moment, but he wouldn’t understand what was going on. He would probably be very confused…
Of course, although Frostmourne was the foundation, the two swords were still slightly different. Although Frostmourne was affected by s.p.a.cetime, it wouldn’t disappear because of this. Similarly, the Frostmourne on Arthas’s side wouldn’t disappear. This flickering s.p.a.cetime interference phenomenon was because the two swords were in an uncertain state. This uncertain state was very similar to the feeling of Schrödinger’s cat. Perhaps because of the existence of the observers (Roy and Arthas), this uncertain state didn’t collapse, allowing the two swords to still exist in sight.
But Roy didn’t know if Frostmourne could still play its role in this state. To be on the safe side, he gave up on the idea of using Frostmourne to awaken Sindragosa.
Resurrecting Sindragosa with Frostmourne could only be regarded as an ordinary undead resurrection spell. After Sindragosa was resurrected, she would become a frost bone dragon. Although she would become an existence stronger than ordinary undead because of her strength when she was alive, it was definitely incomparable to a dragon lich that Roy resurrected with his demon blood.
It seems Sindragosa will gain an advantage from me… Roy put away Frostmourne and sighed slightly.
Malygos had been nervously staring at Roy’s actions since a while ago. After seeing Roy take out Frostmourne and then put it back, he became even more nervous and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Go away. Don’t disturb me!” Roy was in a bad mood because he was going to waste his demon blood again, so he wasn’t polite to Malygos.
After Malygos backed away a little, Roy gestured to Julia and Benia not to get too close to the ice, and it was best if they could fly. The two women did as he said.
Then Roy changed his body from Chaos form to elemental form, and his body became corporeal.
This was the first time Malygos had seen Roy’s physical demon form. He saw Roy’s bluish-gray skin and bulging muscles. This three-meter-tall demon body might not be as ferocious-looking as some of the demons of the Burning Legion, but the sense of power emanating from him was terrifying!
It was the pressure brought about by a higher-level life…
If I had such power, I could kill that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Neltharion, Malygos thought greedily.
But before he could finish thinking, the entire glacier suddenly shook!
Roy spread his arms slightly. As his powerful frost power spread, the entire valley rumbled. An avalanche of snow that had acc.u.mulated for millions of years kicked up snow and wind like a tsunami. Malygos, standing on the ice, swayed violently, lost his balance, and fell onto the ice.
He lay on the ice and felt the ice under his body slowly rising!
How could Malygos not understand that Osiris was using his vast strength to lift the enormous piece of ice formed by the entire lake from the bottom of the lake?!
Under Roy’s control, the solid ice formed by the lake under his feet was breaking free from the restraints of gravity and floating in the air, bringing out Sindragosa’s corpse.
Although the lake in this valley was not large, it was deep enough and stored millions of tons of water. Now, the water had turned into millions of tons of solid ice, and Roy was pulling it out like a nail!
Flying in the air, Julia and Benia witnessed the entire process. They even saw the giant dragon corpse at the bottom of the ice after the piece of ice was pulled up.
Under Roy’s control, this piece of solid ice slowly rose into the air. Then he stomped on the ice, instantly cracking the entire piece of ice!
Cobweb-like cracks kept appearing on the ice, and countless shards of ice began to fall off. These huge shards of ice that were several tons or even dozens of tons fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, causing thunderous rumbles. A hailstone of this size could even easily destroy an army (if there was one on the ground).
After several layers of ice were stripped off, Sindragosa, who was at the bottom of the lake, gradually appeared. Roy specially sealed her in a sphere of ice hundreds of meters long for Malygos to take a closer look.
“My love… I finally see you again!” Malygos had already transformed into his dragon form. He flapped his wings and stood upright in the air. He stretched out his dragon claws and stroked Sindragosa’s head through the ice with an infatuated expression.
Roy felt a little disgusted that this fellow was expressing his love for a corpse, but he ignored him and continued stripping the ice. Finally, he presented Sindragosa’s corpse in its entirety.
Roy raised his left hand and pierced his palm with the fingertip claws of his right hand. With a wave of his hand, demon blood splashed onto Sindragosa’s corpse. After the demon blood came into contact with her body, it quickly fused into it.
The next moment, faint light flashed from Sindragosa’s corpse, and then cracking sounds continuously came. Tiny ice crystals began to break out from the various joints of the corpse.
She’s moving! Under Malygos’s excited gaze, Sindragosa’s giant dragon corpse moved, and two b.a.l.l.s of exuberant undead flames appeared in her hollow eye sockets.
Sindragosa flapped her wings with difficulty, but she quickly adapted. She flew again and slowly flapped her damaged wings while floating in the air. Her long dragon tail was hanging straight down to the ground, and some of the rotten flesh on her body was gradually falling to the ground.
Her image gradually developed from a corpse dragon to a bone dragon. There was nothing Roy could do about it. After all, so many years had pa.s.sed, and the flesh on her body could no longer be preserved. Her current appearance was closer to the bone dragon Sindragosa in Roy’s memories.
Before Malygos could rush forward excitedly, Sindragosa’s body changed again. The dragon-shaped bones on her body shrank, and then under Malygos’s dumbfounded gaze, she turned into a pet.i.te skeleton.
This was the biggest difference between dragon liches created with Roy’s demon blood and ordinary undead. Not only did Sindragosa retain the magic power of her previous life, but she also retained the ability to transform into human form. She was currently incarnated as a dragon lich with a pair of curved dragon horns on her head, a blue helmet on her skull, and a blue robe on her body. As the robe fluttered, the grayish-white bones inside were faintly discernible.
“Another lich king?!” Julia and Benia looked at Sindragosa in surprise.
It had to be said that Roy’s demon blood was really too suitable to use to create liches. After receiving Roy’s demon blood, the target would be affected by his elemental magic power. Ner’zhul was like this, and Sindragosa was now like this. She was originally a blue dragon who was good at using magic, and as Malygos’s consort, she also had powerful magic power when she was alive. So after receiving Roy’s demon blood and transforming into a dragon lich, her strength was comparable to Ner’zhul’s!
It’s really… an unexpected surprise! Roy’s eyes flickered as he looked at the dragon lich Sindragosa, already making plans in his mind.
That old fellow Ner’zhul was currently focused on escaping the control of the Burning Legion. It wouldn’t be long before he ordered Arthas to betray the Burning Legion and make Archimonde’s attack plan fail just as success was in sight… Roy didn’t care about Archimonde’s life and death. But when Archimonde failed, perhaps he would take over the Burning Legion’s following plans. At that time, the rebellious Scourge would be quite troublesome.
And now, the unexpected appearance of the dragon lich Sindragosa made him think of another possibility to deal with the Scourge…
While Roy was thinking, Sindragosa had already floated in front of him, ignoring the excited Malygos.
“Master, Sindragosa is here, waiting for your instructions!” Sindragosa bowed respectfully before Roy.
She was unlike Ner’zhul, who had received Roy’s demon blood when he was alive. When he was transformed into a lich, his soul was complete, so Roy had a certain amount of control over him, but he couldn’t completely control him. Moreover, Ner’zhul’s phylactery was the Helm of Domination, which he held in his own hand… Sindragosa’s soul was not complete, and it had even been about to dissipate. She had been reborn with Roy’s demon blood, so to her, Roy was her controller.
This situation was actually the same as Ca.s.sandra’s. But Ca.s.sandra had been resurrected by Roy’s demon blood when he was still a high-rank demon, so her upper limit of strength was definitely not as high as Sindragosa’s.
“What’s going on?!” Malygos shouted angrily at Roy before Roy could respond to Sindragosa. “Why doesn’t Sindragosa remember me?!”
“Calm down!” Roy glared at him. “Didn’t I tell you? Her soul almost dissipated, so many of the memories in her soul are naturally missing. It’s already very good that she can remember her name. What’s so strange about not remembering you?”
But how could Malygos be willing? He transformed into his human form, flew in front of Sindragosa, held her shoulders, and said excitedly, “Sindragosa, my love! Look at me carefully. It’s me! I’m Malygos, your husband, your spouse!”
Sindragosa’s skeleton face was naturally expressionless, but her voice was a little confused. “Malygos?”
“Yes, it’s me!” Malygos was excited. “I’m sorry, my love. It’s all because of that d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d Neltharion. He made me lose you, but it doesn’t matter. You’ve appeared in front of me again…”
Malygos’s name didn’t cause much of a reaction from Sindragosa, but the name Neltharion excited her. The undead flames in her eyes suddenly swelled, and her voice was terrifyingly gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said, “Neltharion!!! I remember this name. Kill him! I must kill Neltharion!!”
Sindragosa’s ferocious behavior stunned Malygos, and Roy’s voice came at the right time. “It seems like Sindragosa died with strong hatred. She doesn’t blame you, but she remembers her enemy’s name…”
Hearing this, Malygos seemed to have made up his mind. He turned to look at Roy. “King of Despair Osiris, take my soul! But correspondingly, I hope to obtain the power to take revenge on Neltharion! If it’s you, you will certainly be able to do it, right?”
“Oh?” Roy looked at him teasingly. “Have you made a decision? Aren’t you an Aspect? Why haven’t you thought of asking the t.i.tans for help?”
“Stop joking…” Malygos said bitterly. “After so many years, I’ve long figured out that we so-called Aspects are nothing more than experimental subjects of the t.i.tans. Although they empowered us, they made us guards to guard this planet for them and their other experimental subjects. They won’t care about the internal disputes of the planet because our strength doesn’t enter their eyes at all…”
Roy nodded. This was true. In fact, although the t.i.tans had empowered the Aspects and asked them to guard the Old G.o.ds, their true goal was to protect the powerful world-soul born in Azeroth. They had even hidden this matter from the Aspects… The t.i.tans valued their own people more than all life on Azeroth. As long as nothing threatened Azeroth’s world-soul, they generally wouldn’t take action. Thus, it was impossible for Malygos to seek help from the t.i.tans to solve Neltharion.
It was like someone throwing some bones to stray dogs. They wouldn’t care about the fight between the stray dogs…
