Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 203 The Titan's Sword
Uller fled eastward, the Dread Knights never rested, and the Ghost Horse even ran out of the phantom.

Once he was out of the battlefield, the Deceptive Eyes lost their effect, and Su Mu's Governance Arts were rapidly recovering. Once Su Mu had escaped the quagmire of the battlefield, his adversaries would undoubtedly come after him with reinforcements.

Now Uller can only hope for the indecisiveness of humans. Sumu might use reincarnation to revive all the lost troops and then pursue them again, giving him more time to escape.

After crossing the vast expanse of snow-capped mountains, we finally caught a glimpse of barren ruins, the rich, decaying smell of mud bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

The dead rider reined in his horse and stopped, gazing at the wasteland several kilometers away, yet a sense of desolation washed over him.

There was a time when he was also driven to flee in all directions, hoping that the other party would not have time to pursue him, so that he could save his life.
Memories vaguely surfaced in Uller's mind.

A human knight led all his cavalrymen into the Tower of Heroes, sword in hand, chanting the Knight's Creed and vowing to defend their homeland.

That was so long ago, perhaps it was the last scene of a living being?
Uller couldn't quite remember, but it felt familiar and nostalgic.

The deceptive magic corrupts the dead, causing not only the world to forget the glory of knights, but also the knights themselves to forget the beliefs they have always upheld.

Drifting aimlessly, with no end in sight, this is far from chivalrous. But having become a spirit of the dead, he deserves a resting place. The torment of loneliness over thousands of years has worn away all vows; he only desires liberation.

Ullr raised his ghostly blade and slashed across the sky. In an instant, the world crumbled, all memories vanished, and he transformed once more into the ruthless Death Knight.

"Dream Realm! Su Mu is here."

This is the special magical barrier of that female human. It seems that her strength has increased again after this great battle.

Uller had tried his best to retreat, but the Sumu had the logistical support of the ruling government, and even though he had been running for a long time, it still caught up with him.

A pure white griffon descended from the sky, while the fearless swordsman and the arcane prayer blocked the death knight's path on his return, displaying their unwavering determination to kill.

"A Death Knight, leading tens of thousands of undead to attack the city, just leaving without saying goodbye, isn't that a bit inappropriate!"

Su Mu jumped off Lie Feng and faced Uller directly.

The two were only fifty meters apart, which was practically face-to-face for a hero. Su Mu was clearly not afraid of Uller, who had superb combat skills.

Now that they had been caught up, Uller was not the kind of general who dared not face the enemy. He raised his Ghost Blade and commanded the army of terrifying knights to confront the human forces head-on, preparing for battle.

“Elton has never lacked geniuses over the millennia, but heroes with your talent are still rare. To be able to comprehend reincarnation while I was absorbing the Soul Ring, and what’s even more remarkable is that you were able to combine that with your intelligence to gain an advantage and turn defeat into victory.”

Now that Elton is rising in power again, if you can survive this chaos, you will surely achieve great things.

Uller was extremely arrogant. He would not flatter his opponent simply because Sumu had defeated him or won by overwhelming force. He had fought countless battles in his lifetime, large and small, and he was used to the idea that victory and defeat were common occurrences in war.

However, Su Mu's ability to effectively command his generals, leverage the strengths of each hero, and turn the tide against all odds in a desperate situation is truly remarkable.

Putting himself in Sumu's shoes, could Uller have defended Bear Castle? He thought it was almost impossible.

"Alright, if I were still a human knight, I might appreciate and praise you. But now that I am a death knight, I have my own mission to fulfill. Let us fight for our respective masters and see who prevails!"

The Death Knight took the lead, charging all the Dread Knights towards Su Mu.

At the same time, he uses the Eye of Deception to obliterate Maggie's intelligence. Maggie played a crucial role in Su Mu's powerful magic; if he could obliterate her intelligence, the two sides would still have a fighting chance.

This time, the Death Knight learned his lesson and did not forget Su Mu again.

"70%!"

It's obvious that even if other heroes have strong magical power, their resistance to oblivion isn't that high.

This time, Su Mu wasn't going to waste time with his opponent. He had defensive spells after taking power, and Ouling was carrying a full complement of Arcane Prayers. So, the two sides decided to fight head-on.

The battle erupted instantly, with the fearless swordsman charging ahead and unleashing a powerful attack on the enemy. The Arcane Prayer stood atop the Magic Mirror platform, unleashing his strongest attack using the Spirit of Vengeance. Maggie, meanwhile, assisted from the sidelines, casting spells and imposing various restrictions on the enemy.

Left with no other choice, Uller first used an exorcism spell to eliminate the disadvantages of the Dread Knights and then shattered the magic mirror platform; otherwise, he would have been completely helpless against these ranged archers.

Even so, the Arcane Prayer had already made his move. Equipped with the Phantom Bow, its immense destructive power caused the Dread Knights to crumble, instantly killing dozens. The Fearless Swordsman's ability to ignore defense also made things extremely difficult for the enemy. Although the Fire Shield no longer offered any reflection, the Fearless Swordsman's high quality allowed it to inflict sufficient damage.

Su Mu immediately took action, unleashing a meteor shower that buried a large number of terrifying knights.

In the first wave of attacks, nearly half of the Dread Knights were killed. They were able to hold out for so long even when they were short of troops, but now that the entire army was out there and the three heroes had surrounded Ullr, it was much easier.

The Dread Knights are powerful because they rely on countless undead armies as resources, supported by various other unit types, to exert their dominance. Leaving them as a lone unit is not very effective. "50%"

As the battle intensified, both sides began to employ magical techniques of gathering spirits and reincarnation.

However, this time Ullr's resurrection speed could not keep up with the rate at which the Dread Knight was being consumed, and it was almost exhausted after only two rounds.

Seeing that defeat was imminent, the Death Knight's dark eyes flashed, and he led the remaining Terror Knights in a final all-out attack, targeting Su Mu.

The ghostly blade dragged across the ground, and when it rose again, the earth collapsed and mountains crumbled. Su Mu raised the Lion King Shield and withstood the fatal blow. The ghostly fire struck the shield and was deflected to both sides, and the earth instantly turned into scorched earth.

Su Mu slowly straightened up, raising the dark blade.

The fearless swordsmen and griffins behind him, sensing their commander's unparalleled strength, shouted and charged forward to engage the approaching terrifying knights in hand-to-hand combat.

The mysterious worshipper in the distance gave the enemy no chance, launching a deadly attack that reduced the remaining undead to near-death.

Oling seized the opportunity and shot an arrow that felled Uller's warhorse. Maggie then used her dream realm magic to create chains that interfered with the Death Knight.

In the final moments, Liliana emerged from beneath Gale's wings, transforming into a bat that sealed Ullr within the blood orb, ready to devour its soul.

However, an accident occurred. As the blood sphere collapsed, the soul fire inside raged, causing a violent explosion.

The void, spanning tens of meters, was blasted to pieces, and all the bones vanished completely.

All the heroes looked at Liliana, eager to know the outcome.

"I did manage to destroy part of his soul fire, but a portion of him was sealed within the ancient ruins, making it difficult to trace his origin. What's strange is that he deliberately detonated his soul spirit, seemingly seeking death."

Whether it was completely destroyed is uncertain!

The undead are always difficult to kill; the best way is to bring a priest of light to purify them. However, Uller seems to be seeking liberation, unlike before when he had shown such hesitation. Could it be that his recent dream has reminded him of something?
Shaking his head, Su Mu ignored him.

If he can kill Uller once, he can kill him twice or even many times; he is nothing to fear.

Su Mu strode forward into the center of the explosion and picked up a giant sword several meters long from the ground. Due to the death of the Death Knight, the ghostly flames faded, revealing its true form.

Titan's Sword (Tier 4 Treasure): Hero Attack +12, Defense -3. Provides additional boost to Offense skills. One of the four components of the Titan's Arrow combination treasure.

Evaluation: You encounter a giant robbing your treasure. He draws a sword from his waist, but you nimbly dodge between his legs and kill him, leaving his sword in a pool of blood.

As expected, it was indeed the Titan's Sword; only it could boost attack power so significantly.

There was also a necklace made of dark feathers. Su Mu wiped the dust off with his hand, but he could not restore its former glory.

[Angel Necklace (Level 4 Ghostly Treasure, Sealed): Hero Attack, Defense, Strength, and Knowledge +3 each. If carried by a creature, reduces health by 5 daily. One of the six components of the Angel Alliance combination treasure.]

Evaluation: You rescued a witch from a cursed tomb; she gives you an exquisite gemstone necklace, but it hides a sinister purpose.

There should have been one more powerful defensive artifact left, but it seemed to be a special artifact of the undead structure, and it disappeared along with Ullr's self-destruction.

The only remaining undead treasure was the Soul Ring, which shimmered with the darkest light.

2. Morale: This treasure is something ordinary people simply cannot carry; otherwise, the entire team will be demoralized upon entering the battlefield. However, Su Mu possesses the Leadership skill, and with the upgrade of the Medal Hall, he can make perfect use of it.

Besides, he doesn't necessarily have to use this treasure himself; he can give it to a suitable person.

Su Mu glanced at Liliana, who understood immediately and launched a deadly bewitching spell on the remaining Dread Knights. This spell was similar to bewitching people's minds, but it could be used on the undead or elementals, making it quite powerful.

After losing the Death Knight's buff, the Dread Knights went berserk, and their extremely low health gave Liliana an opportunity to strike.

Su Mu hadn't forgotten that he still had a learning opportunity with the wandering scholar, and these terrifying knights could take advantage of it.

Thus, the great war came to an end.

Another glorious victory.

With the Titan's Sword piercing the earth on his right and the Lion King's Shield resting on a solid rock on his left, Su Mu gazed at the wasteland ruins not far away, a resolute expression on his face.

One day, he will lead his troops into the ancient ruins and end the reign of the undead Grand Duke!
