Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Ouch"

With a sharp scream, a ray of fire passed through the bright sky of Mac'Aree, like a precise arrow piercing the sky and finally landing in the Holy Light Legion camp outside the Arcane Academy.

Mograine looked up and saw a beautiful flaming bird flapping its wings and hovering in front of him, holding a rolled-up letter in its claws made of flame crystal.

He stretched out his hand, and the little bird placed the letter in his hand and flew away with a whoosh.

The Archbishop of War opened the letter, and there was only one sentence in it:

"Immediately set off towards the Seat of the Triumvirate. Don't go beyond the first level of the ruined city wall. Wait for me to meet you there. Don't listen to any voice that comes to mind!"

The signature of this letter is The Devil with a Thousand Tongues, and there are points of light flying in the void that cannot be faked.

Mograine let out a sigh of relief. He grabbed his Holy Light Sword and nodded to the adjutant Captain Faria beside him. Captain Little Hooves immediately went out to assemble the archbishop's guards.

Frankly speaking, Mograine was quite critical of this expedition. Black did not hide his thoughts at all. He had been talking about helping Mograine and other Blades of Light "cure their illnesses."

This made the Archbishop very worried.

Although they did not think they were suffering from a serious illness, judging from the pirates' past glorious deeds, Black had never failed in anything he wanted to do.

So if he had his heart in mind, the Archbishop would reject this advance.

But he was a soldier. Whether he was in Lordaeron or serving in the Legion of Light, he never refused orders or was afraid of fighting.

In addition, finding the Crown of the Ruler, the world artifact of Argus, will indeed play an important role in the subsequent war that cannot be ignored. After weighing the two factors, Mograine decided to take the risk.

According to the code of the Legion of Holy Light, if they can forge the hope of victory with their own sacrifice in such a long war, then no Light-forged warrior will choose to refuse the glory of this dedication.

While Mograine is commanding the Blades of Light to march towards the Seat of the Triumvirate, the pirates who have taken the lead have arrived at this ruins that looks majestic on the outside, but is a dangerous area with dark and evil things hidden inside. middle,

He hid in the shadows and stood on a half-collapsed stone pillar of the seat of the Tribunal. He squatted there and looked out. Although there was a strong void force spreading around and seriously affecting the senses, for a walking ancient As far as God is concerned, such a little shielding cannot block the pirate's excellent vision at all.

He easily discovered that there were a large number of ethereal spirits moving among the dark ruins.

Void Spirit, also known as Bandage Man.

Black had dealt with the Ethereal long ago when he was still in Azeroth. During the Battle of Dalaran, he captured an Ethereal merchant who was imprisoned in the Violet Prison.

Of course, that guy was the second lieutenant of the Revenge Army, Shervoz, who had disguised his identity. Black let him go and asked Shervoz to use his connections in the ethereal society to help him contact a big shot in the ethereal society.

Then

There's no after that.

That bastard is a shameful pigeon.

After Black let it go, there was no news again. Until the war in Draenor world ended, the pirates sent people to look for the bastard who killed him in Draenor world. However, they found that because of the elements of Draenor world, The restart caused the dying world to come to life, and the gate to the Twisting Nether closed, allowing the ethereal spirits of the Astral Consortium and the Vengeful Army to evacuate Draenor at a rapid speed.

After that, the pirates completely cut off contact with Bandage Man.

He had already lost interest in these "gypsies" who had lost their hometown, but he did not expect that after coming to Argus, he would get another chance to contact them.

The only pity is that

"This is the Shadow Guards, a group of bastards who only like violence and destruction, shameful bastards who are difficult to deal with."

The pirate bared his teeth in the shadows.

He could easily distinguish their identities from the black bandages used to bind the energy bodies wrapped around the ethereal spirits in front of him.

These ethereal spirits do not belong to the Order Faction, the Revenge Army, or the Astral Consortium.

These guys are an extreme minority in Ethereal.

While most of the Voidlings fought against the forces of the Void that destroyed their homeworld of Karesh, these weaklings chose to join the Void and seek a piece of the Sunless Sea.

To put it simply, the Shadow Guard Corps in the Void can be regarded as a group of "interstellar pirates".

They act wantonly among the material stars, committing all kinds of evil, madly pursuing all the void powers existing in the material world to strengthen themselves, and sacrificing all valuable things they find to the void.

In addition to the ancient gods, faceless men and cultists, these dark ethereal spirits are the largest group of followers of the void forces in the material world.

Theoretically speaking, everyone is a bastard serving the void and should be considered to be in the same camp. However, there are also conflicts between the void and the void. Black does not think that he can get this group of greedy shadow guards by appearing as an ancient god. warm hospitality.

The most important thing is that what this group of shadow guards hope to gain coincides with the purpose of Blake's trip.

There is only one copy of the wonderful treasure of the void, and now it has two pursuers.

The pirate dispersed his void breath and turned them into invisible truth thoughts floating outward. In this area with strong void power, Blake felt very, very comfortable.

It's like returning to a dark and warm home.

His perception continued to be strengthened, and soon it was enveloped in the ruins of the entire huge seat of the Tribunal. It was like a spider web opening, and the vibrations from every area would be sensed by Blake, who was at the center of the void spider web.

He is very patient.

He knew that his opponent was not an easy character to deal with. Every "truth hunter" blessed by the void was as cunning as himself. To catch them requires not only strength, but also a little luck.

"I heard singing"

Olaise stammered:

"After you dispersed your perception, Master, I heard someone singing, which was very similar to the hymns of the Naaru, but... I felt sadness from it, and it was calling me.

It longs to teach me the dark mysteries, it is."

"Snapped"

The pirate's thoughts turned into a slap on Olaise's cheek. The impact of the void made her wake up for a moment, holding her head and screaming.

She felt that a seed was buried deep in her will, and it was rapidly absorbing mental growth.

"Don't listen to the voice that speaks to you in your head, don't believe any of its promises, what lies before your eyes is a terrifying creature that is about to become the God of the Void.

She is a monster shaped by despair and pain, a being who can make deceivers stay away. "

The pirate continued to sense any weak fluctuations in the void, and warned Olaise:

"If you can't resist the temptation and run towards the omnipresent darkness, then I will have no choice but to give up on you. Maybe you can blind your eyes and ears, and then close your mind.

It hurts a little, but it's for your own good.

Well, I found it, isn’t it? Is it showing up on its own initiative? Is it provoking me? So brave! "

Blake shook his head, and the figure disappeared from the place with a whoosh.

With the help of the accelerating psychic power of walking on the wind on his boots, the pirates soon arrived at the purple rift under a ruin on the edge of the Seat of the Triumvirate.

This place has obviously been deeply corroded by the void. Purple-black liquid is constantly "gushing out" on the ground, which is like a shining dark starry sky full of light spots, and there is also a liquid like an ooze monster rolling in it.

It is a weird thing that is derived from the entity due to the strong power of the void. The minds of ordinary people can only survive in such a place for ten minutes before they will be captured by the crazy shadow abyss and fall into madness.

Even a violent demon cannot last long fighting on such a filthy land.

But when Blake landed on such a dark ground, it was as if he had taken some medicine. He suddenly became energetic. He felt that the dirty power on the ground was joyfully dedicating himself to the fallen and filthy ancient god.

It was as if the shadows were cheering to welcome the arrival of the Thousand Tongue Demon.

"Shua"

Blake, wearing the Moon Night Armor, dispersed the shadows around him and no longer concealed himself, exposing his existence to the truth hunter hidden in the ethereal phase in front of him.

This is a sign of goodwill.

It is a friendly gesture before a life-and-death battle between peers.

"Come out, dual realm walker!"

The pirate shook the surroundings with the sound of the void, and he said provocatively:

“You may not know this, but I have tried to contact you among the stars through your compatriots a long time ago. I know that you are an out-and-out ‘big shot’, and I also know that you are very busy.

I don't know whether Shervoz forwarded my letter to you, but you missed the meeting I had been looking forward to, which makes me very unhappy.

Plus you've kidnapped my servant now

This can be regarded as a new and old hatred.

I don’t know if the void power here is too strong. I always feel that I am in very good condition today. Do you want to fight with me? I beg you. "

"Crazy Black Shaw, the messenger of the Fallen Void, the darling of the Sunless Sea. I also became interested in you and wanted to go to the strange Azeroth to meet you.

But unfortunately, I have to fulfill my mission.

I'm not nearly as free as you are.

But it’s time for me to ask you to leave here, Black Shaw. The thing of truth here has become very unstable after being tortured for thousands of years. I cannot allow danger to get close to it to avoid causing worse accidents.

Demons are your enemies, and you should be more concerned with them than coming here to interfere with the Void's focus. "

A strange, trembling sound like electronic music echoed in the dark rift in the void. In the same strange resonance of the sound of the void, a strange figure appeared in front of the pirates.

It seems to have jumped from another world. It does not appear as a whole, but as an image quickly rendered in the purple streamer like a contaminated oil painting.

This guy is a Hollow, no doubt about it.

But its dress is different from all other ethereal spirits. It did not choose to wrap its body with a bandage that has the effect of binding energy to maintain its human form.

On the contrary, it was covered in a white and purple caster robe, with purple-gold breastplates on the shoulders and chest connected to the waist armor, and violet gemstone armguards on both arms.

The most peculiar thing is its crown.

It was like a trident or a burning and twisted flame. It was embellished with purple gems and covered its entire head. No eyes or face could be seen. In other words, the purple crystal under the crown was his face.

There is no doubt that this outfit, which is full of some kind of majesty, directly adds to the mystery of the dual realm walker. And from the fact that it chooses white instead of black to decorate itself, Black can judge this guy's camp.

This is indeed a truth hunter like him, a truth hunter or fool's friend who can only be born by receiving the blessing of the Sunless Sea.

But the problem is that Black is the hunter of truth chosen by the fallen void, and the double realm walker in front of him, whose enemy and friend are unknown, is the hunter of the pure void. In other words

This is a heresy more abominable than paganism!

Listen to what he said again. Maybe he had good intentions, but he forced the pirates to leave this place. With Black's current status and status, can he tolerate this?

Look at the fight!

The dual realm walker finally appeared and spread his arms. The fingers with the dark purple void claw blades moved, pulling out dazzling black cracks in a small area. He was obviously ready for battle. .

The pirate picked up his sword and disappeared, and the next moment he was fighting with the double realm walker.

The explosion of void air produced by the two men when they wielded their weapons caused the surrounding rift to collapse. More void power was summoned to pour in, making the sky above the seat of the Triumvirate darken.

It is not a life and death battle, but more of a test of the level of one's peers to evaluate the strength of other truth hunters.

But as soon as the battle started, Dual Realm Walker, who came on stage in Lafeng, realized something was wrong. The power of the pirate in front of him far exceeded his own legend level. The first sword thrust almost opened the Dual Realm Walker's eyes. .

In addition, the void atmosphere lingering around the pirates was full of an unpleasant smell that made the dual realm walkers feel deeply bad. After three or four brief encounters, this weird ethereal spirit took the initiative to retreat with insignificant injuries.

It made a "pause" action and asked urgently:

"You started the path of the ancient gods as a mortal? Are you advancing to become a demigod? Tell me, have you completed shaping the appearance of the abyss?"

"Hey, talking so much during a fight is not a good habit."

Blake appeared behind the Double Realm Walker with a whoosh, and with his hands intertwined, Salamaini was about to launch a violent storm attack, but the Double Realm Walker didn't even have time to stop the attack and continued to scream:

"No! Get out! Black Shaw! You are too obsessed with the immediate goal but ignore the hidden dangers! Think about it carefully, why was the ancient god born?

What kind of world are you in now?

Have a wise man like you really considered these two questions?

quick!

Under the overlapping aura summons of the three void creatures, you, me, and Lula, let the Sunless Sea open here and leave here before conveying your ultimate mission!

otherwise

It’s too late! "

"Um?"

The two questions asked by the Dual Realm Walker confused the pirate.

He really had not considered these two issues before, because he was not an ancient god born naturally in the void world, and it seemed that he did not need to consider the natural mission that the ancient god assumed when he was born.

But the pirate has always been a "good at reflection" person. Just as the two swords pierced the body of the double realm walker, the pirate followed this guy's reminder and used his brain a little.

Why was the Old God born?

Devour the world and sacrifice it to the will of the void!

What kind of world are you in now?

O Argus!

A sad world where the heart of the world is occupied by evil energy and is about to complete the corruption of star souls, etc.! Bridge beans sack! Argus? Star soul? Damn it!

There are star souls in this world! ! !

He was still an unborn star soul, and his past experiences made him stubbornly regard Argus as a fallen titan that would definitely be awakened, but he ignored a very important factor.

time!

In the current timeline, it will take at least thirty years before Argus, the "Destroyer", is conceived by evil energy! Now Argus is just a sleeping star soul like Azeroth.

"Let's go!"

It was too late for the Dual Realm Walker to take care of the two swords stuck in his body.

It grabbed Blake's wrist, waved his hand to open an ethereal door leading to an unknown corner of the stars, and was about to push the pirate in.

Blake didn't resist.

He even took the initiative to use his strength to rush toward the Void Spirit Gate.

Under the current circumstances, drifting to any corner of the stars would be much better than staying here.

But at the same time that the two guys started to work together, the dark song sung by the God of the Void who was about to be conceived in the deepest part of the Triumvirate suddenly became louder.

The "badass woman" saw the right opportunity and gave Black a hard "push."

As her void power exploded on a large scale, under the desperate gazes of the pirates and dual realm walkers, and in the shattering sound that only they could hear, the world was dimmed instantly, and the void power like a tide poured in from the lightless sea. Come, wrap up the pirate like a waterfall.

The character card in front of Blake began to beat rapidly:

External divine power is being connected. Divine power path: Great Tide of the Sunless Sea. Advanced divine power path: Void force. Void test begins!

The carrier is the user of void power.

【satisfy】!

The carrier initiates the inheritance of the power of the light-dark sensitive parasitic symbiote.

【satisfy】!

The carrier is blessed by the void of the lightless sea.

【satisfy】!

The world where the carrier is located has the Titan soul.

【satisfy】!

The ultimate mission of the Ancient God begins!

The infusion of divine power begins!

Demigod's body [Void]·Condensation!

The Face of the Abyss [The Demon with Thousand Tongues]·Start shaping!

Servant of the supreme truth, the world under your feet has been blessed by arcana and occupied by evil energy. Life is still struggling in despair, but death is also sharpening its sword. The holy light that covets it has sent out servants.

However.

It can only belong to the void!

That will be its final destination.

Devour the world beneath your feet and dedicate it to the supreme sea of ​​truth to fulfill the ultimate mission you were born with!

The void is boundless, the truth is eternal!
