Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"The demons speed up!"

Illidan Stormrage, a new recruit of the Moon Guard riding on a hippogryph, quickly noticed an ominous sign. Just as their "advance army" rescued the fleeing elves, the rear was originally moving slowly. The army of demons suddenly accelerated.

Those ferocious bastards from hell seemed to smell "fun".

They began to howl sharply, brandishing their weapons and spitting out flames, howling and rushing towards the enemies who blocked them.

They long for the joy of blood and battle in this weak world.

This horrifying discovery made Illidan frown. Fortunately, Shaohao and the Monkey King were powerful enough. These two strong men firmly blocked the path of the demons rushing out of the mountain forest, giving the tired elves a chance to escape. time.

But there were only two of them.

Even if the magic staff in the weird monkey's hand could become larger or smaller, it still couldn't completely stop the demons' tidal wave of pursuit.

Illidan looked around. The new city guard soldiers he brought performed very well. Although each one was frightened by the ferocity of the demons, they still spread out in the air under the command of Jarod and used bows and arrows to block the demons. Ugly mephit.

The magic arrows prepared in advance are effective against lower-level demons. The elves are a race that is naturally good at shooting. Under their cover, the elves on the ground are running faster, and the casters who have taken a breath are also constantly throwing magic. to stop the demon's attack.

But this cannot continue!

Illidan let out a sigh of relief, and he pulled the hippogryph's reins to let the brave wind vulture slow down in the air to give him time to cast the spell.

Although he is only a new recruit of the Moon Guard, Illidan's talent in spellcasting is very powerful. He has mastered several secret techniques of the Moon Guard, which is enough for him to no longer be afraid when fighting against demons.

Illidan raised the moon staff and skillfully controlled the power of arcane magic. Arcane arcs flew in his hands. He locked the target with his mind and waved the staff. In the next moment, four or five arcane balls shot out. The barrage spun and hit the sky.

The young elf manipulated magic to explode in the sky. The chaotic arcane power shook the sky like lightning, knocking down a group of magic bats that were crowded together and unable to dodge.

This amazing record made Illidan satisfied.

He started casting spells again, preparing to clean the floor with another barrage, but suddenly he heard a voice yelling in his ear:

"Be careful with your consumption, idiot. There are no other moon guards here to act as batteries to absorb magic power for you."

The beaten voice said to Illidan with strange sarcasm:

"You used a magic that could destroy thirty demon hounds and defeated thirteen magic bats. Should I say that you have strong spellcasting ability? Or should I say that you are a fool who doesn't understand energy-saving spellcasting at all?

Use the least force to destroy the most enemies. Didn't your mentor even teach you this principle? "

"Who? Who is talking in my ear?"

Illidan was horrified.

There are others on this battlefield!

But he didn't notice the location of that guy at all, and his magic shield showed no signs of being eroded. Was his mind affected?

"Of course it's your conscience, who else could it be? Well, don't be distracted! Ground! Ahead, at four o'clock, the Ring of Frost, release!"

The voice scolded.

Illidan lowered his head sharply and saw a large group of demon hounds howling and rushing out from the flanks towards several tired elven spellcasters.

He immediately raised his staff and called for arcane magic, and in the cold air, a precise ring of frost was thrown to the ground, trapping the demon hounds on the ground with almost every chance. Then the Monkey King waved his warhammer-like stick. , roaring and smashing down those ugly things into mosaics.

"Seven o'clock! There's a big guy with an arcane barrage, release it!"

"boom"

Illidan turned around and waved his staff. After casting the spell for a second, a ball of energy condensed with arcane magic roared out like a war hammer, beating the wings of a doomsday guard who fell from a high altitude and screamed to attack Jarod. Break, and let the bastard smash to the ground with a howl.

"You have too much magic power in this arcane barrage. Are you casting spells or blacksmithing? Next time, be more restrained and use 70% of your power. Of course, if you think you have more magic power and can squander it casually, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. "

The voice sounded again, and the sarcasm in it made Illidan grit his teeth.

"Arcane missiles are scattered in six consecutive bursts. Make a circle in the ten o'clock direction. There is an invisible succubus there. Don't tell me you can't even detect that thing?"

"Swish swish"

The flowing arcane magic turned into sharp missiles, piercing the hidden shadows with the shaking of Illidan's staff, tearing the lower succubus into pieces as they tried to blend into the crowd for a sneak attack.

"Retreat! Your active performance has attracted the attention of the lower-level demon commanders. Retreat to high altitudes."

The reminder came again, and the young elf hesitated this time.

As a result, in the next second, a blast of scorching magic energy shot out from the mountain forest. With a whoosh, it penetrated the wings of the hippogryph under Illidan's throne, causing the poor beast to be ignited and howl as it spiraled down to the ground.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you seem to trust your own judgment more? It's a pity that your judgment is wrong. My poor Illidan, you are really too good now."

The voice continued to taunt Illidan even as he fell.

The guy said:

"Don't come up when you land on the ground. That beholder is staring at you. Just keep casting spells like this. When your magic power is not enough, grab an elf mage to drain his magic power so that you can continue fighting.

There is a way to absorb magic power in the Moon Guard's secrets, but be gentle and don't kill anyone.

This is the only way you can possibly escape with these refugees.

Evil indeed.

But it’s up to you whether you use it or not. "

After saying that, the voice disappeared, causing Illidan Stormrage, who landed on the ground with a flash spell, to frown. Seeing that demons appeared around him again, there was really not much time left for him to hesitate.

"Follow me!"

The Moon Guard recruit shouted, waved his staff and threw two arcane barrages to knock the rocks away and repel the demons, and then led a group of people forward.

These elves who were able to escape from Zin-Azshari were not helpless civilians. The outermost warriors held weapons in hand and followed Illidan to kill on the ground. There were also candle dragons and hippogryph knights in the sky. They cooperated with the guards, but this did not reduce the threat they faced at all.

The number of demons has exceeded the limit that these new recruits can deal with, not to mention that an "elite" will pop up among these demons from time to time to cause trouble. If they cannot be stopped, it will lead to very bad consequences.

On the head of the candle dragon, Maiev held a war bow and kept shooting. As a trainee priest of the Moon God, she could not use complex magic, but she could still summon the power of the Moon God to attach to the arrows.

This kind of magical arrow is extremely lethal to lower-level demons, and Maiev's outstanding hunter talent allows her to almost miss every shot. Every shot will take away the life of a lower-level demon.

But the long-term accurate shooting soon made Maiev feel tired. She was only a trainee priest, and the power of the moon she could use was very limited.

"This is wrong."

As Maiev gasped, a familiar voice sounded beside her.

Then warm hands lifted up from behind and held Maiev's wrist. Black, hidden in the shadows, corrected Maiev's shooting method to the most perfect posture.

Just like teaching a novice archery step by step, on this anxious battlefield of demon killing, he said to the trainee priest in a gentle voice:

"Don't aim with your eyes, especially when dealing with demons. Their chaotic power will interfere with your perception. Use your mind to lock onto them, as if you were casting a spell.

Adjust your breathing. A good hunter always maintains a calm mind.

When the power of the moon attaches to the arrow, you don't have to attach it all. You only need to condense a little at the top of the arrow to add order to the destruction of chaos. Only this point is needed to pierce the demon's flesh and blood, and the rest is left to your arrow.

The brains of demons are not necessarily tougher than those of elves. They will die just as well if pierced by an arrow, but I don’t recommend you aim at the skull.

Eye!

No matter what kind of creature, the eyes are the most fatal weakness. "

"Whoosh"

Under Blake's slight adjustment, Maiev loosened her fingers.

A shimmering arrow flew out from the bowstring and accurately pierced the left eye of a large magic bat flying ten meters in front, piercing and tearing its brain.

The ugly guy fell to the ground wailing, Maiev's body was turned to the other side, and the second arrow was shot out in an instant, hitting the second demon's head again, then the third arrow, and the fourth arrow.

In just a few seconds, Maiev shot down six magic bats. This made Illidan, who was casting spells on the ground, couldn't help but look up. He thought Suramar had sent a high-level ranger to assist them. .

"Have you learned it?"

Black asked in a low voice in Miss Maiev's ear. The hot breath hit Maiev's sensitive ears, making Miss Priest's cheeks turn red. She was still not used to such intimate contact with a man.

But she had to admit that Mr. Black had just taught her valuable combat knowledge.

Maiev ah Maiev!

How can you be so cranky at this time?

The young priestess tried to calm down. She nodded and whispered:

"I already feel it a little bit."

"Are you just feeling something? That's not possible. Your numbers are too small. To save these escapees, you must master these advanced hunting skills as quickly as possible."

Blake shook his head and said:

"It seems I have to give you some more help. Come, call Yueying's name and pray for my blessing."

"Um?"

Maiev hesitated.

But seeing that the situation on the ground and in the sky was getting worse, she no longer hesitated and said softly in a priestly tone:

"Lord Moon Shadow, please give me your power."

"Very good, I will give you the Eye of Hunting, the Hand of Slaughter, and the Mark of the Moon!"

As the pirate's words fell, the world in Maiev's eyes changed rapidly.

Black's way of being a hunter was shared with Miss Shadowsong, and the fatigue in her body was quickly eliminated, while the mark originating from Moon Shadow poured a steady stream of moon power into Maiev's body.

powerful!

The unparalleled power refreshed Miss Shadowsong at this moment. She knew that this was a blessing from a superior being, just like the moon god's blessing to a high-level priest.

She didn't waste any time, she raised her hand and came.

The powerful hunter's perception is like a running radar, allowing Maiev to instantly grasp the location of all hostile life forms within hundreds of yards around her, while the Hand of Slaughter makes her shooting extremely stable, and each arrow can accurately penetrate the enemy's fatal wound. Weakness, the power of the moon is continuously covered on the top of the arrow, so that every arrow of Miss Shadowsong is accompanied by the power of order.

Massacre, a massacre started at this moment.

The apprentice priest on Zhulong's head is like a moving fort, and every arrow is a fatal killing shot.

In the stunned gaze of Jarod, who was guarding the crowd nearby, his always cold sister seemed to suddenly transform into the legendary Ranger General. Any enemy caught by her could not escape the sharp arrows in her hands that took human lives.

"Sister, go on!"

Jarod flew over with the hippogryph, and threw several pots of arrows in the riding bag to Maiev. These arrows were obviously more useful in the hands of his sister who suddenly "exploded" than in his hands. .

"Illidan!"

Blake's voice rang in the ears of the Moon Guard on the ground, and he reminded:

"The demon commander is dispatching troops to punish the general. It is the 'brain' of this weak vanguard. If you don't kill it, you can't escape. You must assassinate it.

I will guide you to your goal. "

"You want me to rush back to those demons?"

The young elf shouted:

"You want me to die!"

"Are you scared?"

Blake suddenly asked.

Illidan didn't say anything, he just took a few steps and then jumped up high, grabbing the hand extended by a hippogryph knight who was flying over.

This elf with amber eyes showed his attitude through actions.

"very good."

Behind Illidan, the new knight said:

"My strength is mediocre in all aspects, but I'm not a coward. The only advantage is that I'm stupid and bold. Gee, he's really awesome."

"you!"

Illidan immediately realized that there was a mysterious will that temporarily occupied the knight's body. In the background of the ferocious demon turning his head and rushing towards the back, he frowned and said:

"What the hell are you?"

"You actually called me 'thing'? I think you really need to be taught a lesson."

Blake, who was possessed by the descending consciousness, said angrily:

"You bastard, you really have a arrogant character that is seriously inconsistent with your strength. I don't know if you look so unreliable in front of Tyrande.

I should really throw you into the pile of demons below and let them eat you.

But that doesn't matter.

Remember this, Illidan Stormrage. "

Blake said in a cold and faint tone:

"I am a powerful being that you can't imagine. Although I didn't come here to compete with demons, my relationship with these bastards is not very good, so I don't mind helping you.

From now on, you are the ‘temporary divine choice’ of the Quiet One.

You need strength, I will give you strength, but you must complete what I tell you, if you dare to reveal my existence to others, then...

Forget it, you don’t dare.

Underneath the target, feel it?

That sneaky big-eyed demon has noticed you. "

The Quiet One snorted.

In Illidan's shocked feeling, a strong shadow magic flowed into his body like a tide, along with strange forbidden knowledge.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you. Are you interested in changing your profession? From a useless moon guard to a powerful elf warlock. You don't know what a warlock is yet, right?

It doesn't matter, I will teach you slowly later.

All you need to know is that if you want to defeat demons, you must first understand them. This is your first lesson as a warlock. Now, hold on to your staff.

Let's start the practical lesson. "
