Chapter 92 The Soul-stealing Curse

Dewi and Gandalf sailed down the Forest River, drifted all the way to its mouth, and entered the Long Lake.

The Long Lake was formed here by the confluence of the Forest River and the Rushing River, which originated from the Lonely Mountain. The Long Lake flows eastward and finally flows into the Inner Sea of ​​Rune.

Changhu Town is located on the central island of Changhu Lake, surrounded by rocky headlands for protection. It is a small town with prosperous commerce and trade.

Due and Gandalf went down the river without meeting Thorin and the others.

"Guide me~"

The light from the wand pointed towards the center of the foggy lake.

"Gandalf, Bilbo and the others should have found a way to cross the lake."

"That's good news," Gandalf nodded. "I think we can reunite in Lake Town."

At this moment, a group of Orcs also chased over from upstream of the Forest River.

After entering the river mouth, the river became slow, and the two people sitting in the boat instantly became slowly moving rakes.

"Shoot them! (Black language)"

Following the order from Leader Oak, dense arrows shot towards the two men.

Facing hundreds of arrows, Dui didn't care. With a wave of his wand, a protective barrier appeared around the two of them.

But unexpectedly, although most of the arrows were blocked, a few arrows ignored the defense, directly penetrated the barrier and shot towards Dui's head.

"Be careful! There is an arrow of Morgul hidden in it!" Gandalf reacted quickly, split the arrow with a strong sword, and warned loudly.

Dui's reaction speed was not slow either. He immediately used the wide oar in his hand as a shield to block in front of him.

In an instant, two Morgul arrows were inserted into the oar wood. The huge force caused the arrows to penetrate the wood, revealing sharp and dangerous black arrowheads.

Unexpectedly, the Orcs were so cunning this time. They hid Morgul's arrows, which were filled with poison and black magic, in a dense forest of arrows, making it impossible to defend against them.

Dui's face looked a little ugly. He threw away the oar with the Morgul arrow stuck in it and immediately fought back.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

The orcs on the river bank seemed to be prepared and quickly pulled out shields from their backs to block in front of them.

Although the huge impact of the explosion blew away the Oaks, few of them actually died.

It was unknown what material those shields were made of, but they were very strong and successfully withstood the power of the explosion.

Due and Gandalf's expressions grew serious.

"Dui'er, these Orcs are obviously aware of your methods and they are well prepared!" Gandalf reminded.

Dui nodded silently, also seeing the problem.

"Gandalf, let's go ashore first. I need to get some information out of these Orcs!"

Gandalf agreed, and quickly brought the canoe closer to the shore.

"Shoot! Shoot them to death! (Black language)"

The Orcs attempted to prevent the two from landing with a massive attack.

But the next second, the bows and arrows in their hands turned into poisonous snakes, baring their fangs and quickly biting their necks or arms.

The Orcs were frightened by this sudden change and instinctively threw away their bows and arrows and fell into a panic.

The venomous snake fell to the ground and turned back into its original weapon, as if it was just an illusion.

But before they had a chance to retrieve their weapons, Dui's attack followed.

"Shattered into pieces, shattered into pieces, exploded with thunder..."

Dui jumped from the canoe to the river bank and cast several spells in succession.

Accompanied by a huge explosion and shattering sound, the Orcs were instantly killed or injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the Oak team immediately turned around and tried to run, but was hit by a petrification spell from Dui and froze in place.

After eliminating the other Orks, Dui approached the petrified Ork leader and waved his hand to remove the petrification curse from him.

Leader Oak quickly pulled out a dagger and attacked Dui.

With a bang, Leader Oak flew backwards instantly and hit a huge rock behind him.

"Want to kill me?" Dui sneered and walked towards Oak.

Seeing the dagger in his hand that exuded the aura of black magic, he raised his eyebrows.
"It seems you're well prepared. Besides Morgul's arrows, you also have a black magic dagger. Are they all meant to deal with me?"

As he spoke, he waved his wand, and the arm holding the dagger was cut off in an instant.

Leader Oak let out a scream, still staring at Dui fiercely.

Dui's eyes were hurt by Oak's ugly and hideous face. He raised his finger slightly, and the black magic dagger floated out of Oak's broken arm and quickly pressed against the neck of the Oak leader.

"Tell me, after Azog's death, who was your leader? Why did you continue to hunt the dwarves?"

Dui threatened.

"As long as you tell me, I will let you go."

Leader Oak was not threatened at all. Instead, he showed a ferocious and malicious smile and said smugly:

"Wizard, you won't even know! Just wait, my master has already made preparations. Both you and those dwarves will be burned to death in the flames!"

Gandalf came over and heard what the Orc leader said. He was immediately furious and used his staff to push the Orc heavily against the rock wall.

"Tell me the secrets you know, Oak, or I will have you cleansed by the flames of light now!"

The huge blow caused the Oak leader to feel pain, but his face showed even more confidence.

"Haha, you won't get any news from me! Our time has returned. The flames of war will cover the earth, and we will eventually win!"

Gandalf became even more furious and struck again with his staff.

Dewi stopped Gandalf and continued to ask, "Gandalf, since he is unwilling to speak, let's try another way."

As he spoke, he pointed his wand at the Oak leader, concentrating his attention and gathering the greatest malice.

"The soul is out of body!"

Feeling the strong aura of dark magic emanating from the Due's spell, Gandalf frowned slightly and looked at him with some concern.

But he didn't say much, he believed Dui knew what was going on.

So the main focus was on Oak.

Dewi cast the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.

The Imperius Curse does not have direct killing power. It cannot kill people directly like the Killing Curse, nor can it torture people like the Cruciatus Curse.

But the most dangerous thing about it is that it can control the thoughts and behaviors of others, turning them into puppets of the caster. Even if they are once the most beloved family members or friends, they can be killed without hesitation.

It can be said that the Imperius Curse affects and controls a person's soul, making him no longer himself.

More importantly, there was no way to break the Imperius Curse.

To escape the control of the Imperius Curse, one must have an extremely strong will to break through the influence of the Imperius Curse;

Or you can directly kill the caster of the curse, so that the Imperius Curse he casts will automatically become ineffective.

Apart from this, it is almost impossible to break the control of the Imperius Curse using other magic.

Seeing that the Oak leader's eyes became empty, Dui immediately asked:

"Who is your new leader?"

Leader Oak looked a little struggling, but he regained his composure the next second.

"It's Bolg, son of Azog. He's our new king."
