Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The big idiot Blue Dragon His Royal Highness Little Star was summoned to be Black's experimental assistant. The idiot warrior Finna also wanted to come over and join in the fun, but was driven away by Black and Little Star at the same time.

Even though Fenna humblely said that she could help move things, the archwarlock and archmage still insisted that the soldiers not come close to their temporary laboratory.

This is not true for Fenner either.

Mainly because it's unlucky, you know?

"If you really have nothing to do, why don't you help the fox-man, snake-man and troll coalition forces attack the last palace front of the Faithless Emperor Kotek?"

In the cold ancient snake lair of the mysterious matron Seitaris, Blake, who was putting on his experimental robe, said to the idiot Fenner with his arms folded and an unconvinced look on his face:

"That job is obviously more suitable for you. I heard that Emperor Kotek is also a good snake warrior. Maybe you can learn a few tricks from him.

And as the world-famous Swordsman of the Raging Sea, shouldn’t he add another brilliant achievement to his hunting list? "

"Stop bragging!"

Fenna rolled her eyes and said rudely:

"Kotek is a shitty warrior! He was born as a priest, and he was once a colleague with old Warwick, right? What power can such a half-way monk have?

Now I have reached the threshold by walking the path of courage. My courage and my divine power of order do not allow me to bully opponents who are weaker than me. My strength can only be stimulated when I challenge strong enemies.

I really want to go there and beat up Kotek, but that will activate my sin curse, and it's all your fault!

Hey, why don't you let me help participate in your experiment? Are soldiers so unpopular? It doesn't matter if I don't participate, why can Little Xingxing play with you openly? "

"Hey! Don't count me out when you quarrel with him, okay? I'm the innocent one."

Next to him, His Highness Blue Dragon, who had already changed into a white experimental robe and tied up his long hair so as not to affect the subsequent series of magic operations, said with his hands on his hips in displeasure:

"Besides, what level are you in the field of magic? You don't have any points? Don't look at me joking around all day long, but I have the title of 'Arch Mage' from Narthalas Magic Academy.

This is the reason why I can participate in this experiment. If you want to help, you should first get a professional title.

And I just read Captain Stinky's feasibility report. This experiment is quite dangerous. If it doesn't work well, the result will be that the void force invades the brain. "

Speaking of this, Little Xingxing threatened with malicious intent:

"My dear Fenner, you don't want to become a fool who can only giggle and lie in bed and drink porridge for the rest of your life, right?"

"You're just bragging!"

Fenna knew that although she was more proficient in the field of magic than ordinary warriors due to her background, her magical attainments were not necessary compared with a leader-level great warlock and a genuine great mage.

But until now, she is still stubborn and does not believe Little Xingxing's threats.

This made Blake rub his head and said:

"Little Xingxing didn't lie to you, this experiment is indeed very dangerous. How about you help us guard the entrance to the snake nest? This is also a very important job, and it must be done by someone I trust.

This experiment lasts for two to three days, and must not be interrupted during this time. Once the void energy entrenched here loses control, the slightest consequence is to collapse the mountain.

I can rest assured that you are guarding the door, my powerful sister. "

"Hey, after all, why don't you let me be your security guard?"

Fenner curled her lips, but at Black's request, the Master Sword Master still drew out his Wind Chaser Holy Sword, held it in his hand and walked towards the entrance of the snake nest.

As she walked, she said:

"Let me explain in advance, I am not helping you because you beg me. I just see that you need me. A good teammate like me will not turn a blind eye when my friends need me.

Although I don't want to waste time here.

But since it is your request, there is nothing I can do. I will help you stay here, but you owe me a favor.

You know, right?

Bad brother. "

"Ah, yes, yes."

Blake sighed and replied perfunctorily, but Fenna didn't care. She stood at the entrance of the snake nest happily like a door god holding the elemental blade.

As the old snake man Warwick activated the mechanism, the entrance to the snake nest made of the dried heads of ancient creatures found in the desert was slowly closed, and the last ray of light was cut off from the entrance.

The entire snake nest fell into darkness. In the next moment, several purple balls of light lit up in the darkness, illuminating the test area. The strange color of the balls of light made it darker and darker.

However, this is the environment required for this void reincarnation experiment.

"哐"

Lord Korvan, the supreme hero among the mantids, personally walked forward with the box containing the Heart of Darkness in his arms, and placed the box with several locks and an amber seal under the contaminated god snake egg.

This Supreme One is slightly different from the cold and serious temperament he had in Pandaria before. Now he still has the majesty of a leader, but in addition to that cold and serious temperament, there is a touch of fanaticism.

The amber armor on its body is also slightly different from before. There are no pattern carvings praising the great deeds of the ancient sages. Instead, there are the "Ten Commandments of Heroes" newly established by Xal'atath for them.

But from the brilliance reflected in the mantid's compound eyes of the Supreme, it can be seen that the leader of the heroes does not hate its current life, and can even find fun in it.

"It seems that the Mantid Empire is developing well in Draenor."

Blake watched the Supreme One's precise movements in opening the sealed box, and he said softly:

"Have you built a shrine to the Ancient Lord in Gorgrond?"

"Not really, but we have a plan."

Korfan let out a long series of insect noises and replied in a low voice:

“The era of the Great Reincarnation has begun in a new territory, where we hunt ogres in the unfettered wilderness, compete for territory with the Goron beasts, and there are scattered demons to kill.

Although those arrogant black dragons and belligerent orcs are causing some trouble, it is not enough to stop the dark rise of the mantid.

It is a country full of competitiveness, which is very suitable for the law of survival of the fittest. We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts to the ancient sages for guiding us in the future.

For this kind of gratitude, we must build the most gorgeous and majestic shrine for our God!

The Ancient Ones have sent down the 'Oracle of Trials' to us, and soon, an expedition to the world of Argus will begin, just like our war against the weak pandaren in the past countless years.

This generation of mantid warriors will embark on new battlefields under the leadership of heroes. The weak will die there, while the strong will return to new territories with glory.

In this battle against demons, new heroes will be born. This is the beginning of the Age of Glory. Ah. After getting tired of fighting the Pandaren, the ancient sages chose more brutal opponents for us.

It all feels like the good old days are back. "

"Although the world view should not be criticized harshly, I still have to say that the way you mantids view the world is really perverted."

Blake complained:

"It's really a Spartan swarm."

"Although you have done many incredible things, Black, I still want to say that you, a human servant of the Ancient One, cannot understand the way we mantid survive.

But trust me.

This kind of life is the best for us. "

The Supreme One glanced at Black with his huge compound eyes, and it buzzed like an insect and said:

"There is one more thing, about the remnants of the last branch of the Aqir Empire, in the underground nerubian city called Azjol Nerub in the cold continent of Northrend.

The environment there is too cold for a long-term battle between the mantids and their worms. We cannot defeat them permanently in that land, but the glory of the swarm is at stake."

"I understand! Don't rush it, this matter is already progressing, trust me."

The pirate waved his hands with a headache and said:

"It won't be long before the last of your brethren will return to your swarm, and the Aqir Empire will be reborn in the realm of the Mantid, I promise, okay?

Just for the sake of everyone being the dark servants of the ancient lord, can you give me some trust? "

"Haha, I hope so."

The Supreme One sneered and opened the last seal of the seal box in his hand.

The heart of darkness, which had drank in despair and many negative emotions on the demonic battlefield of Draenor, and became tighter and more powerful, appeared again.

The moment this dark evil thing appeared, a dark wind blew throughout the snake nest, making the old snake man Warwick tremble while holding his lightning staff.

It had never seen anything as depraved as the Heart of Darkness before. Compared with the black heart in front of it, the Deconstructor Misraks who had been sealed under the Wharton Desert was definitely the younger brother among younger brothers.

What kind of terrible thing did he sign a contract with to aid the gods?

Can such an evil being really fulfill his oath?

"let's start!"

Black put on his experimental gloves and carefully checked the condition of the Heart of Darkness. Then he snapped his fingers at the little star beside him. His Highness the Blue Dragon immediately stepped forward and placed the various magic materials prepared in advance in the spirit snake egg. around the altar.

The best spellcasters selected from the Mantid clan, led by the two spellcasting heroes "Clear One" Iyokuk and "Poisonous Heart" Xakriel, will carefully select Kepa amber and strange tuning fork devices were placed around.

Warwick, the old snake man, was called over.

The pirates asked it to use the ancient prayer method of the snake people to appease the divine snake egg and quiet the dark evil spirit conceived in it. Although the latter did not have a complete will, it undoubtedly felt that the danger was coming, and this would be correct. He pounded the eggshell angrily and tried to escape.

But how could Blake let it escape?

"This snake egg can give birth to a pure and powerful divine body. It is born as a demigod, and there is absolutely no need to question its potential.

Only such a pure and tough body is qualified to become the carrier of the heart of darkness. "

The stinky pirate picked up the beating heart of darkness and placed it next to the bloody and shiny contaminated snake egg. He also slapped his hands on the little star next to him, who was also responsible for the experimental records and said:

"I have gone through a lot of hard work to find such a perfect test sample. You know, the host I chose for Xal'atath was Hakoa, the snow leopard goddess of the Drakkari trolls.

That's it, our eldest sister Xalatath is not satisfied yet. She is absolutely certain that these Loa gods are too weak and do not suit her identity and current status.

She arrogantly asked me to drive Deathwing out of Deepholm, and asked me to use Deathwing as her new carrier."

"Ah this!"

Little Xingxing was taken aback, but then based on the rationality of a spell caster, she rubbed her chin and said:

"Speaking of which, Xal'atath's vision is really good. When looking for individuals who are completely infected by the void and have considerable power in this world, it is really rare to find a sample that is better than Deathwing.

However, Xal'atath thinks too highly of himself.

Although she has the amplification of Heart of Darkness, I don't think she can control the magic of Deathwing. "

"Who says it isn't?"

The pirate nodded in agreement, stretched out his hand to slightly adjust the placement angle of the Heart of Darkness and the Divine Snake Egg in front of him, and said:

"I also explained this truth to her clearly, and also reprimanded her not to be too ambitious.

Even though she was reborn with the contaminated snake egg of the mysterious mistress as a carrier, even with the fusion of the Heart of Darkness, it is true that she cannot return to the height of power that Y'shaarj once had, but at least she has a strong starting point, right?

The Ancient Lord is immortal, so he waited until the Aqir swarm army was cultivated in Draenor, and then began to fight the Burning Legion! As long as she does enough and absorbs enough emotional power, she will reach the level of Y'Shaarj sooner or later.

That is almost the limit of the ancient gods.

If she wants to break through again, she has to seek the source of the void. Unfortunately, I can't help her at that stage.

But then again, Xalatath is the essence of the birth of the void. To break through the limits of the ancient gods is nothing more than returning to the void.

Her path to promotion is destined to be much easier than that of other demigods. "

Having said this, Blake rubbed his chin, thought for two seconds, turned to Little Star and said:

"Add a sentence to the experiment report and write, 'Predict that the target's future strength limit is very likely to enter the realm of gods.'"

"Wow, this is too much!"

Little Xingxing bared her teeth and whispered:

"Would writing like this be considered academic fraud by those old men and women?"

"Academic fraud? Are you kidding? I just gave a test goal that is slightly higher than expected based on my current judgment. This is an experiment. Isn't it normal for the results to deviate slightly from the expected goal?"

Blake rolled his eyes and said:

"The most they can accuse me of is not being rigorous enough, let's just write it like this."

"Learned, learned."

Little Xingxing shook her head and said:

"I will follow your method when doing my graduation project in the future. Speaking of which, I have also determined the topic of my graduation project."

Lanlong pointed to his head and said:

"I'm going to write a paper based on my research on strength growth and understanding of Titan energy. I helped you this time, but you have to help me next time."

"Okay."

The pirate laughed and readily agreed to the idiot schoolgirl's request.

He adjusted his mind, placed his left hand on the contaminated snake egg, and placed his right hand on the surface of the Heart of Darkness, and began to mobilize his void power, using his power as a "bridge" to connect the two things together.

"Xal'atath, are you ready?"

Blake asked in his mind:

"The bloody cradle that gave birth to the ancient lord and the black heart that supported the dark lord are all in place. Now it's your turn, the soul that shaped the fallen will, to step forward.

Such a trinity of connections can truly allow you to be reborn in this era!

Come on, little girl, don't be shy.

I will be here to witness your birth with my own eyes, but considering that you can be regarded as 'created' by me after this rebirth, the relationship between us has become complicated again."

"Hey, you courageous man!"

Xal'atas retorted with a sense of expectation and annoyance:

"Don't you just want to say that you are my 'father' on a symbolic level? Do you want me to call you dad? Just say it, what's the big deal.

It’s not like I didn’t do it on certain occasions before.”

"Hey! Don't say such obscene things, okay? This is an experiment! Be serious! If something goes wrong, you have to be responsible, do you understand?"
