Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"The rebels have entered the palace! The guards on the outside have been defeated, and two garrison troops have chosen to surrender."

In the chaotic and noisy night, in Azshara's palace, a loyal guard reported to his supreme queen with the remaining murderous intent on the battlefield:

"The demons were mobilized, but the Defiler was unwilling to intervene in this civil strife. It shamelessly claimed that this was just an internal matter of the elves, and that the upcoming arrival of the God of Darkness was the real big deal.

Your Majesty, you need to move to a safe place. "

"Demons? Haha, I never expected them to do anything serious. They are just a group of beasts that think they are powerful."

Queen Azshara, who was sitting on the throne, did not panic at all.

Faced with the words of the loyal attendants requesting her to transfer, she dismissed them, and even had the mood to despise those "allies". Under the bright palace lights, she said in a disdainful tone:

"The power of Lord Sargeras is intoxicating, but it is a pity that the legions under his command lack wisdom. Archimonde comes from a world called Argus. It is a good idea for those Eredar to be allowed to join the Burning Legion.

But unfortunately, their inferior wisdom was not enough to help Lord Sargeras transform his Burning Legion.

This is why the Dark God chose me and the Highborne.

Don't pay attention to them sitting back and watching. "

The Queen waved her hand and said:

"When I become their queen, I will let them know what rules and politeness are!

My loyal guards, go rectify my army and send out my court mages to suppress the rebels and drive them out of my palace.

I have to prepare for the arrival of Lord Sargeras, and I don't have time to play this kind of suppression game with them now. "

"As you command, Your Majesty."

The mighty guard retreated.

During the whole process, he did not dare to raise his head to admire the majesty of the Queen, which made Azshara feel bored. If her loyal and capable Varoson was here, how could these small things disturb her sleep at night?

Unfortunately, there is only one Varosen who can always make people feel reassured, and he has already been sent out to perform an important mission.

"Talent, I need more talents."

The queen sitting on the throne thought so.

Then, she looked at the maid beside her and asked casually:

"Where is my beloved Vashj?"

"Your Majesty, Lady Vashj has gone to deal with Tyrande Windspeaker."

The maid answered respectfully. Azshara was stunned for a moment but then showed a playful smile.

Vashki was a talent she personally selected from among her maids, and the Queen knew very well how strong the jealousy was in that girl's heart.

But instead of punishing her, she felt very amused by Vashj's supreme loyalty and fanatical obsession with her.

She has conquered all men.

Now it seems that all women will fall under their own charm, which feels very good, although as a queen, she rarely needs to use charm as a weapon.

"Your Majesty, you should probably go somewhere safe."

The maid beside her said cautiously:

"The rebels are approaching and they will disrespect your majesty."

"Just them?"

Azshara showed a contemptuous smile and said:

"They can't even break my defensive magic. I just sit here and watch my subjects perform a war game for me in this increasingly boring season.

It's interesting that their fight pleases their queen, isn't it? "

"Interesting indeed, my lord, and I am glad that your taste is so bad at this time."

A strange voice appeared in the brightly lit palace. When the voice sounded, the maids and guards around the Queen reacted immediately.

They drew their weapons and guarded the Queen's side, but the figure who walked out of the shadow under the light didn't care at all.

When the first group of guards rushed toward him, he just raised his head, and a wave of truth thoughts centered on him surged in like a shock ring.

Those extremely loyal guards pointed their weapons at the compatriots behind them without any hesitation. In the blink of an eye, blood and roars resounded throughout this luxurious place.

Under Azshara's surprised gaze, her most loyal maids also pointed their weapons at her with trembling trembling. Not only that, but those maids with beautiful faces were also under the influence of some invisible force. "Changes" begin to occur.

Their skin trembled.

It was as if something abominable was about to grow out of the flesh, and their eyes were filled with chaos. Their wills were trying to resist the orders of their hearts, but their bodies had already obeyed.

When the man in black walked up the steps to the throne, the maids loyal to the Queen knelt down respectfully one by one, as if to greet their true master.

"You have trained them well, and they can still grit their teeth and be loyal to the Queen when facing the truth."

Blake's voice came from under the hood, with a hint of surprise as he appreciated a rare object.

He took out the demon whip captured from the Dog King Haka from his luggage and said:

"It's a pity that flesh and blood are not as strong as will. They are still resisting, but they have lost. My dear Your Majesty, do you want me, the court jester, to perform a little trick for you?

On this depressing night, maybe watching a play will brighten your mood? "

Azshara didn't answer.

The Queen is secretly mobilizing the magic power of the Well of Eternity to infuse herself.

She started this move when the man in black appeared, because she felt a very familiar aura on the guy in front of her.

Not a message of identity, but a signature of strength.

Just like her shocking power when talking to the God of Darkness in the connection of evil energy, this is the power of the Force and Godhead, a supreme power that should not appear in the human world.

For a magician of Azshara's level, she could even clearly feel that the time flowing around Blake was being distorted, and the invisible time was trembling.

"A god?"

The Queen tried hard to maintain her indifferent expression and said:

"Should I feel honored that a god has come to my palace? You should inform me of your visit tonight in advance so that I can prepare a grand welcome ceremony for you.

So suddenly, it seems that we highborne do not understand etiquette. "

"Informed in advance? Didn't I inform you?"

Black stepped up the golden stairs, approaching Azshara while playing with the demonic whip in his hand.

He said in a casual tone:

"The battle in Suramar, the demigods and dragons, and Lord Sargeras suddenly accelerating towards Azeroth. Don't tell me that a wise ruler like you wouldn't realize that a force is approaching you.

Or is your desire to become the Dark Titan's consort so strong that your mind can no longer hold any wisdom other than obscene devotion?

Well, you're a woman.

Women's IQ is indeed terrible when they are in love. Well, well, it's not your fault. You are just obeying the dictates of your own despicable desires.

But what I want to know is..."

Lord Silent One's sarcasm made Azshara fasten the armrest of the throne, and the rolling magic power represented the changes in the mood of the Proud One after being sarcastic.

But all this is no big deal to a well-informed pirate.

He paused.

Then, in an undisguised sarcastic tone, she whispered to Queen Azshara, who was struggling to maintain her dignity:

"You are even willing to follow a dark god like Lord Sargeras, so how can you pretend to be pure in front of the mighty and handsome me? I think you should kneel down now and pray that I will give you some meager power.

Um, are you angry?

Why are you angry? Did I offend you? But when Lord Sargeras steps into this world, you will also kneel down, won't you?

Or.

Are you afraid of Him, but not of me? "

"Puff puff"

The moment the pirate's heart-wrenching rhetorical question fell, the flesh and blood of the eight maids surrounding the Queen's throne exploded at the same time.

The original body was torn apart like a weird eggshell. In the disgusting surge of blood, the originally fair-skinned and beautiful long-legged sisters were twisted by the flesh curse cast by the Quiet One himself and turned into half-human and half-snake monsters.

Their bodies were covered with fine scales, like newly born snakes.

The lower body turned into a coquettish snake tail, while the upper body, which maintained a female posture, grew four arms. There was a fish-man-like dorsal fin on the back, and the hair on the head also turned into small snake-like tentacles.

Their wills and minds obviously maintained their sanity. They screamed as they saw themselves becoming real monsters, but they did not dare to take revenge on the evil god who transformed them.

The transformation of their legs into snake tails made them unable to support their bodies at all, and they could only cry and lie in the flesh.

This sight made Azshara's fingers dig into the armrests of her throne.

She couldn't understand how Blake could complete such an extreme transformation of life form while retaining his mind in an instant, but there was no doubt that this represented a small display of the threat and power of the stranger in front of him.

If the Well of Eternity was at its peak, she would not be afraid of such a threat.

Even if you can't fight, you can still protect yourself.

But now, 80% of the energy of the Well of Eternity is used to support the increasingly larger portal and prepare to build the ladder for Lord Sargeras to come to the world.

The remaining 20% ​​is simply not enough for her to challenge such a powerful being who is at least one power level higher than her.

She was very angry.

Because the other party was rude, this was the most terrible provocation to the queen's arrogant character, but unfortunately, her arrogance howled back and tore him apart.

But her reason told her that she must bow her head now!

What a shame

"No, no, no, don't lower your head, it's rude."

When the Queen wanted to lower her head and admit her mistake, the warm demon whip touched her noble and delicate chin, lifting her cheek.

It wasn't until this moment that Azshara saw the face of the stranger in front of her clearly.

Chaos.

Only seven shining red light spots turned into millions of eyes of truth beating. When she looked directly at the face of the abyss, a huge sea of ​​dark stars opened in front of her eyes.

The forbidden tide of the Sunless Sea is surging, and every beat will bring about a whirlpool of inspiration and mind, and countless knowledge emerges in front of Azshara's soul, which is the truth leading to the supreme truth.

It's like an invitation.

Those great beings sitting in the starry sky looked at her, just like gods looking at mortals, and the guy standing in front of him was one of those Lords who only existed in the legend of the Star Sea.

It is truly an honor to meet such a being in flesh and blood.

You should respect truth and wisdom, and for these supreme truths that will be given to you, you should kneel down and worship on the beach of this sunless sea.

That's right

She only needs to lower her proud head to receive the supreme praise from her master, and she can come into contact with the ultimate mystery of this sea of ​​stars under the protection of her master's warm shadow.

In the face of such glory, there is no need to care about personal honor and disgrace.

Black looked expressionlessly at Azshara who stood up from the throne in front of her. The latter's eyes were blurred, as if her soul had been thrown into another world.

She lowered her head in front of herself, bent her left leg and knelt down.

Her instincts still rebelled.

But even Azshara cannot resist the call from the Sunless Sea. This is no longer a trial that can be overcome with a strong will.

But the Queen always brings surprises.

At the moment Azshara was about to truly fall to her knees, her lost soul seemed to have found the last pillar. With a scream, the huge magic power from the Well of Eternity suddenly burst out.

The entire gorgeous palace was shaken by the magic shock wave at this moment.

The dome collapsed, the bricks fell to the ground, and amidst the movement of the earth tearing apart, Azshara, with red eyes, raised her head, her long hair stood up on the back of her head like the embodiment of magic, and screamed at Blake:

"Don't even think about it! I am Azshara! The King of Elves! The Evil God! Don't even think about asking me to kneel down to you!"

"boom"

The Queen gathered all the magic power she could control into a ball and threw it at the evil god in front of her.

Black's figure seemed to be torn apart and twisted at the moment when the magic power gathered. The thrown energy ball like a vitality bomb flattened everything and annihilated everything in its path. This blow was definitely not as good as Mr. Sa's starburst. Abandon treatment and chop.

But no matter how you say it, it is no weaker than the one sword that Lord Aggramar casually slashed to defeat the enemy.

It's a pity that Lord Aggramar was also defeated by Black Shaw, wasn't he?

"Is this all you can do? How pathetic, Azshara."

Black's voice was like the low chant of thousands of people speaking at the same time, exploding in Azshara's mind, and he said sarcastically:

"Light of lights, can you be serious?"

"boom"

As the tentacles surged, a group of identical "vital energy bombs" gathered together with the power of the void and struck Azshara's fatal blow first. The two groups of energy continuously collided, torn apart and annihilated.

The entanglement from the arcane and the void made it impossible to retain the remaining half of the intact palace. In just a few seconds, these energies were destroyed as they canceled each other out.

But in front of the disheveled Azshara, her gorgeous palace has become a garbage dump like a beggar's den.

Well, old Gani was ecstatic.

"Snapped"

The gasping Queen was pushed by one hand and fell down on her barely intact throne. Black, who was "torn apart" in front of her eyes, reassembled into a complete figure like smoke gathering together.

The Queen's eyes widened.

But the next moment, a slap with purple light hit her face hard.

"Sorry, it's a bit rough, but this is to make you sober. Appropriate pain can stimulate the mind and allow you to break through the fanatical worship in your heart that you shouldn't have.

This is not the sane and beautiful you in my memory. Look at you now, you look like a crazy woman. "

Blake said so.

The impact that hit her soul made Azshara blink, but her chin was grabbed by the pirate. Through her amber eyes, Black could still see a trace of mental remnants belonging to the evil force.

So the next moment, another slap came back.

Fortunately, Lord Silent One is a villain who treats women well.

He also knew to wrap something around his palm to weaken the impact, but after the Queen came to her senses, she immediately noticed the thing wrapped around the pirate's hand.

Damn it!
