Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Twelve hours until the end? Well, that's plenty of time."

After Mimiron's shocking warning, in the dead silence, Black made a rather heartless comment, which attracted glares from others.

No joking at such a serious moment.

Hey, everyone is dying, can you be more serious?

"What are you looking at me for? I didn't talk nonsense."

The pirate stared, waved his hands to the frowning guys and shouted:

"Na na na, now it's time to split up. Mimiron has shut down the weapon system. Now the only ones Alduari has to deal with are the crazy guardians and their servants.

I take command, everyone!

Odin, the most capable warrior, led the most capable warriors to sweep through each guardian's temple and defeat them all in the shortest possible time.

Leiden and the Virgin of Purity are responsible for treating those poor people and saving them from the corruption of the void as quickly as possible.

Dwarves, go straight ahead from this road and then turn left at the fork to go to the Creation Forge. There is a Fire Giant King guarding there. You have to knock it down, and then use the Creation Forge to make your artifacts. , be fast!

I will send my Ebonhorn brothers with the Hammer of Khaz'goroth to assist you.

The gnomes and mechanical gnomes are rushing to the Spark of Wisdom. You must ensure that Mimiron does not activate a more advanced disaster response. I don’t want to hear that the time for the outbreak of this damn ‘Armageddon’ system has been advanced to thirty minutes.

Then we will have no choice but to run away.

Then there are the dragons. "

Blake looked at the Dragon King and the proud little star. He pointed at the chaotic fighting platform behind and said:

"You block the exit and don't let anyone in this city escape. In addition, the green dragons open the Emerald Dream passage to help the warriors quickly travel through Ulduar.

This damn city is too big, even if there is a teleportation system, it would be a waste of time.

Red Dragon, go outside the Shattered Cage, use your fire of life to suppress the summoned void creatures, and wait for me to pass. "

"how about you?"

Odin had no objection to this arrangement. He originally planned to divide his troops.

The King of War leaned on his war spear and said to Blake:

"You are an important fighting force, don't even think about taking advantage of this battle."

"Wow, a rigid guy like you has learned the word "fishing". It seems that the changes I have brought to the world are really joyful."

The pirate whistled and said rudely:

"Of course I have to be responsible for the most dangerous errand. You may not have forgotten that a crazy blue dragon brought the Focusing Iris into Ulduar.

I must hunt it down and kill it in this land of creation before it explodes the Shattered Cage with its Focusing Iris.

By the way, I can reassure you that the most difficult bone to crack, Yogg-Saron, is also left to me and my lover. We are here just for it.

alright!

Who else has objections? "

Blake was suspended high in the sky, his eyes sweeping over the people in front of him. In silence, he said:

"That's it. Little Xingxing comes with me, and the others start taking action. Ah, I almost forgot, we still have the last support force."

"Reinforcements? Where are they?"

Green Dragon Queen Ysera opened the dream passage while looking around curiously. The next moment, when the door of the Emerald Dream was opened, a silver phantom appeared on the land of Ulduar like a ghost.

Goldrinn, the giant silver wolf covered in moonlight, looked at the steel city in front of him with a nostalgic look. He didn't like it here, but he couldn't deny that he spent his childhood here.

Mother's garden is ahead.

The homeland of the wild demigods lies ahead.

Just like the guardian of life, Ms. Freya, rescued the beasts in need on the ancient land, now, tens of millions of years later, her grown-up children have come to save her.

Behind Goldrinn were the spirit form of Ursoc and the Boar God Agamaggan, as well as the vision of Aviana, the Sky King, and Ashar, the Heart of the Forest, and his consort.

At this point in time, most demigods have not returned from death, and the only physical demigods that can really fight are Goldrinn and two weak white deer.

But it doesn't matter. The moonlight-enhanced Goldrinn's combat power is beyond the limit. This rebellious prodigal son who once took the initiative to leave his mother now comes here carrying the common will of all demigods.

It wants to save their mother.

The appearance of the Wolf God made the morale of the Heroic Spirit Legion even more explosive.

As if Goldrinn didn't think it was lively enough, he roared into the sky, and soon from the dream whirlpool behind him, old Jean rubbing his eyes and some ferocious werewolves rushed out.

Old Gene was the chosen one.

This means that when the gods call, no matter what they are doing, they must come and do the work. The same principle also applies to Dai Lin, Muradin and other war gods.

Being a spokesman for the gods is not always a good thing.

This means that the enemies of the gods will also become the enemies of the Chosen One.

"Okay, we're all here."

Black clapped his hands and whistled, trying to get close to Goldrinn, but the aloof wolf god didn't even look at him. With a roar, he led his army of werewolves and rushed towards the city's front hall.

"Let's go too!"

The dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard waved his war hammer, and the elite dwarves of the Three Hammers, led by their respective leaders, flew in the direction of the Creation Furnace on several red dragons. The low-key Black Horn should be coming. On the way, the guy was always on time and there was no need to worry.

"My Lady, please stop."

When the heroic spirits also separated and left, Blake suddenly called out to the Virgin Mary who was about to leave with the army. He winked at the Virgin Mary, jumped on the Virgin's shoulder, and directed her to a remote and quiet place.

Seeing no one around, Blake said to the Virgin Mary:

"I need you to do me a small favor."

"Initiate the response to the request for help protocol: Tell me, Blake, what do you need from me to help you?"

When facing Black, the Virgin Mary was very talkative. Perhaps this magical mortal left a good impression on her, so the Virgin Mary, who had always been cold and rational, seemed very generous.

"Well, this request is a bit strange. You must first promise me not to ask too many questions. I am too lazy to explain my reasons."

After Blake complained, he pointed at his head and said softly:

"I'm going to give myself a soul-level magical blessing soon, but because I have too much divine power, my soul is very tough, so I need you to use your miraculous healing techniques to give my soul a blow.

What I mean is, keep it at a relatively fragile level for the time being. "

"This is your request"

There was a strange sparkle in the eyes of the Virgin Mary, and she said:

"Start the dissuasion protocol: I suggest you not to do this. The evolution of the human soul is not designed to take such risks. Blake, I can complete your request, but once there is a problem with the soul, even if I want to cure you, it will be very difficult. difficulty."

"Please, Your Majesty the Holy Mother, you see I have never threatened you with Odile's affairs. I think this already represents my respect and sincerity for you."

The pirate raised his hands like a cat bowing and begged. The Virgin of Purity stared at him. After a few seconds, she sighed humanely and raised her finger. A light as sharp as a sailor's knife appeared on her fingertips.

she says:

"Since it's your request, how are you going to cut it? Cut it in half along the central axis of the soul? Or cut it separately based on good and evil? Let me explain in advance, I haven't fully mastered the latter cutting method, and it may be risky. .”

"It doesn't matter, you can cut it any way you want."

Blake picked up his pipe, blew out smoke rings and said:

"Anyway, it will still heal after a short cut. I have no intention of turning myself into a 'two-faced person'. That would be too bad."

"In that case, I can help you set up a spell."

The Virgin Mary placed the light of her fingertips on the pirate's head and said:

"It can help your soul heal quickly, as long as it's not damaged."

"Thank you so much. I knew you were the most reassuring figure among all the Titan Guardians."

Black gave him a flattering slap, but Our Lady of Purity did not accept this trick. She gently stroked the pirate's forehead with the professional and precise gesture of a doctor.

Just like after the mild pain of minimally invasive surgery, the pirate's aura weakened visibly to the naked eye, and he felt that the soul protected by divine power was temporarily removed from the divine wrapping.

He became weaker.

But the good news is that he has no intention of taking action on his own in the next battle.

Blake glanced at the Shadowsinger hovering above his head, and he smiled proudly, thinking to himself that with a wife who could beat him, of course he could live in peace and contentment.

——

"Damn it! Energy transmission has been interrupted!"

At the same time, in the middle of the city of Ulduar, in an abandoned palace near the broken cage below, the blue dragon prince Aregos, who escaped into Ulduar alone, looked at the focusing rainbow that stopped charging in front of him and fell into In the midst of mania.

The unsatisfactory encounters in recent days have made Arregos unable to suppress the anger boiling in his heart. Of course, this may not be because Arregos has a problem with his emotional control.

Perhaps more stems from the ever-expanding darkness in his heart.

Just like many poor people who have experienced dark things live in the shadow of disaster all their lives, after Arygos was rescued from the temple of C'Thun, his soul has not been able to return to the sunshine all at once. under.

Especially after it accidentally touched a fragment of C'Thun's will on the edge of the vast desert of Silithus when it revisited its old place on a whim, the darkness in its heart swelled.

But Black's previous guesses were not entirely correct.

Arygos did not have a deep relationship with Yogg-Saron, although it did participate in some of Deathwing's plans.

For example, he used his own magic to help the Black Dragon Prince sew the body of the world-destroying dragon beast Chromatus, etc., but that was not out of the desire to destroy the world.

It's just that Arygos and Spellweaver have a slight disagreement about the future of the Blue Dragon Legion and even the world.

The Blue Dragon Prince knew some dark secrets. He knew the tragic truth that others could not pry into, so he chose to save the country in a twists and turns.

Regrettably, such behavior is undoubtedly equated with "betrayal" in the eyes of normal people.

"The Focusing Iris is only two-thirds charged. Such an explosion is not powerful enough to destroy Yogg-Saron's cage. I must find a weak point."

In the dark and damaged temple, the Blue Dragon Prince looked at the focused rainbow shining in the darkness. This was undoubtedly the powerful power of the magical heart gathered from the energy of Azeroth's magic network.

But when it was created, no one could have imagined that one day, this thing would be used to help an ancient god escape from his prison.

Arregos squatted down and began to check the direction of the magic network in the Land of Creation. It was preparing to use its superb magic manipulation to complete its seemingly deviant final rescue plan.

However, there is no longer enough time left for it.

Just when Arregos confirmed the weakness of the magic network and was about to leave with the Focusing Iris, a weird sonic boom sounded outside the palace.

This movement immediately alerted the very vigilant Blue Dragon Prince. Without saying a word, it threw out a teleportation spell that had been prepared long ago to move itself and the Focusing Rainbow to a safe area.

Its spellcasting ability is very terrifying. It probably inherited the Spellweaver's outstanding talent, making the opening of this portal very smooth.

It only took less than a second to completely erase all traces of himself.

However, when Aregos walked out of the portal with the Focusing Iris, what caught his eyes was the dilapidated and dark palace, as if it had never left at all.

Damn it!

His teleportation spell was reversed.

"I said, where are you going with that big magic bomb?"

In the darkness, Blake's annoying voice sounded, making Arregos frown, and then beating thunder bloomed in the darkness, just like dancing firelight, completely illuminating this dark place.

Under the frowning gaze of the Blue Dragon Prince, His Highness Little Star appeared in front of him with a complex expression.

She looked at Aregos, who maintained the dwarf form in front of her, with disbelief, and said:

"When I first rescued you, I didn't expect you to be such a villain. At that time, I was certain that you were a hero. You sacrificed yourself to save the Kaldorei and seal the swarm.

You could have continued to be a hero, Arygos, but what pushed you down this path?

Why did you want to harm your father? The Spellweaver is already pitiful enough, why do you want to stab its broken heart again? "

"Stella Gosa"

Arygos also looked at the little star with a complicated look. It was silent for a moment and said:

"I didn't want to hurt anyone. My father was attacked by the Void Temptation not out of my intention. I just wanted to convince it to agree to my plan.

But it turns out that the void forces cannot help at any time, they will only continue to cause destruction. "

"Your plan?"

Little Xingxing looked around and asked:

"Your plan is to unleash the ancient gods to poison the world? Are you crazy?"

"No, its plan is to release the ancient gods to fight against the demons."

Behind Little Star, Blake blew out a smoke ring and looked at the dwarf blue dragon in front of him with a regretful look. He said softly:

“The Old Gods will not give up their ambition to devour the world. That is the first criterion engraved in their dark souls. They will not give up any opportunity to pollute the world.

And demons have the same principles.

This means that if the Burning Legion wants to destroy Azeroth, it must first fight the equally evil Old Gods.

Not a bad plan.

It just kind of sucks. "

"I don't understand!"

Little Star screamed:

"The demons don't need to fight the ancient gods at all. They can destroy the world without entering it. There is no way Arygos's plan will succeed."

"No, it will definitely work."

The blue dragon prince sneered and said:

"The purpose of the demons is not to destroy the world, they are to capture the dark titan sent to them by the star soul of Azeroth, and the ancient gods are not to pollute the world, they are also to corrupt the planet named Azeroth. The soul has created a void titan.

As long as my plan succeeds, they will definitely fight.

Then we, the protectors, will gain time and benefit while the two sides fight to the death, although we may gain a world in ruins.

But that’s okay, we still have plenty of time to rebuild it.

do you understand?

Little Star, I am also protecting the world, just in my own way! "

"The influence of the Old Gods has been too deep on you, Arygos."

Blake yawned and said:

"You've said enough crazy words, and your methods are tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. Let's stop talking nonsense and end this ridiculous war.

But it's not me versus you.

As you can see, I am very weak now.

You want to be a Spellweaver. Little Xingxing is not very interested in the throne of the King of Magic. She is passionate about everything for three minutes, but I want her to become the King of Magic.

Therefore, let’s take the throne of the Blue Dragon King as the reward for this battle.

Now, two ambitious dragons, please begin your performance. "
