Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The army of heroic spirits rushed into Hades, fighting fiercely with the mortal warriors selected by Odin.

However, the job of a vanguard cannot be done by just picking a few people at random, especially the task of commanding heroic spirits to fight with fewer heroes, which also has high requirements for the military quality of the commander.

Time is not on the side of the heroic spirits.

Therefore, they must kill through Hylagar's military formation in the shortest possible time, which requires the soldiers leading the team to be proficient in penetration tactics. Just relying on brute force to fight randomly is not enough.

Therefore, the limited number of heroic spirits need to be allocated to warriors with experience in leading troops. Fortunately, the warriors here today are all veteran swordsmen who have been fighting for many years, and are no strangers to leading a charge.

But there are exceptions.

For example, stupid Fenner.

Whether she is in the army of elves or swimming on the sea with her bratty brother, Fenna is always a leading soldier who charges into battle.

She had no experience in commanding, so the task she was assigned was very easy. She just had to rush in with everyone and cut down everything in front of her.

Finna also likes this job.

However, after arriving in Hades, the stupid warrior deserted midway.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but she took advantage of the chaos and rushed out, following the signs on the map given to her by her bratty brother, heading towards the area where the Valargar War Sword was buried.

That is Odin's divine sword, the true holy object of wrath. If you miss it this time, you will have to work hard to get it next time.

But Fenna didn't just run around casually.

She wielded the Ashbringer sword, which was used to attack the undead, and slashed horizontally through the battle zone of several heroic spirit teams. With the holy blade swung, the undead in Hylagar could not get close at all.

By relying on such a fierce attack, they unexpectedly disrupted the army formation of the Hell Undead, allowing the outnumbered Heroic Spirits to continue moving forward.

"Fenna! Where are you going? Come here quickly, we are about to rush out, don't fall behind."

When the stupid warrior rushed out with sparks and lightning, Supreme Shield Girl Heya, who was charging with a small group of heroic spirits on the edge of the battlefield, shouted to her.

This bold female Vrykul warrior thought Fenner was lost, so she invited her to join her team. Her location was just on the edge of the area where Black killed the Nine Warriors Kira.

Seeing that the vanguard of the orcs had penetrated the foggy position ahead, she called for Fenner to come over and charge together.

But Fenna was very confused.

The stupid warrior wanted the artifact and didn't want other companions to know that she was receiving "special care". Faced with Heya's invitation, she seemed very hesitant.

Although the Vrykul shield girls have brains full of muscles, Heya is an exception.

This tall Supreme Shield Maiden has her own wisdom. After seeing Fenna being unable to make a decision, and noticing the direction in which she wanted to run out, Heya probably understood the truth as soon as her eyes rolled.

When the Shieldmaidens entered Hades and Black hid Odin's swords, Heya watched the whole process.

She knew that the two swords were hidden at the edge of the eternal battlefield and the sea of ​​underworld.

"If you want to get the Excalibur, go quickly."

Heya glanced at the battlefield ahead and said to Fenner:

"After you get it, remember to join us. You may be able to use it when attacking Hela, but you must not use two swords at the same time. You cannot withstand the impact of those two powers."

"Eh? Don't you want it?"

Fenna asked doubtfully:

"Don't you also know where they are hidden?"

"I haven't washed away the shame of my failure."

Heya shook her head and said:

"I must prove my courage and strength again before I am qualified to pursue the Sky War Sword. Before that, I will keep it for you. Go quickly! Don't waste time."

After saying that, the Supreme Shield Girl roared, grabbed the brightly lit war spear, and rushed towards the orcs who were breaking out with the heroic spirits behind her.

Fenna no longer hesitated.

She stood up with the Ashbringer on her back and made a big jump, helping Heya to disperse the ghosts surrounding her. She ran towards the depths of the mist with her shining lightsaber.

Soon we arrived at the place where Black had hidden his sword.

The pirate also made a thoughtful mark, just like the legendary pirate treasure. He buried the two swords next to a pile of stones, and placed several broken Vrykul war helmets next to them as marks.

When Fenna arrived, a large group of Helagar ghosts were digging in the area.

Presumably Hela also knew that the two swords were lost and hidden somewhere in Hades.

She is also looking for the Sky War Sword in order to regain the warriors given to her. The area excavated by these undead workers is very close to the location of the war sword.

"Fortunately I'm here."

Fenner let out a long breath, stretched out her hand to push the dragon bone war helmet on her head, picked up the Ashbringer and jumped out of the hiding place. The light on the holy blade burned, making the stupid warrior look down upon him when facing the undead.

The dead souls rushed towards her, but every one of them was burned to ashes by the fire of light the moment they came into contact with the Ashbringer's blade.

The lethality of this holy blade against the undead is simply perfect.

It didn't take Fenner long to complete the slaughter. Amidst the hot ashes flying all over the ground, she quickly walked to the place where the sword was hidden, took out a shovel from her bag and started digging down.

She didn't dig for long before she found a magic box. It was this thing that concealed the double blades, preventing their breath from penetrating and being captured by Hela.

Fenna half-knelt in front of the box. She rubbed her hands and opened the box in front of her with joy. In front of her, two Vrykul-style war swords were placed staggered in the box.

They were a pair of swords, but each was as large as a two-handed war sword.

Two completely different forces lingered on the two swords, one hot and brave, the other cold and vicious.

Fenna heard from her smelly brother that this was caused by one of the swords being corrupted by Hela.

The evil Queen of Hades originally hoped to corrupt both swords into the Deathly Hallows, but Odin's power protected both weapons, and she was unable to do so.

This also creates the power of the two swords to conflict with each other. This conflict is almost unsolvable, so only the truly strong can hold them at the same time and use the two completely different powers for their own use.

"You look like Ashbringer."

Fenner stroked the sword that shone with the flames of power.

She whispered, then reached out to hold it, and lifted it up with a little force.

This sword is open on one side, and the blade is an irregular arc. The back of the sword is inlaid with golden Titan iron armor, the cross sword grid is slightly curved upward, and the simple hilt is wrapped in dragon skin.

The sword is equipped with a Valhalla-style counterweight, which is very well balanced.

Fenner poured her anger into it, and a golden flame burned on the sharp blade.

"Good, you like me."

The stupid warrior laughed. She could feel that the sword was very adaptable to her own strength, probably because she possessed Tyr's divine power.

Moreover, the power attribute of this sword named "Odin's Wrath" matches perfectly with the Ashbringer. They are both orthodox forces of order.

Fenna threw Quel'Sera behind her back into her bag and decided to use these two swords as a match for her battle in Hades.

As for the "Wrath of Hella" at my feet.

Fenna didn't like its dark and cold power very much, and because of Tyr's divine power, she couldn't exert the power of this sword even if she used it forcefully.

Black once reminded her that although the two swords are connected in power to each other, they can also be used separately when she is not strong enough.

So Fenna threw the entire box containing the sword back into her luggage, intending to take the sword back to her brother. His strange strength is a perfect match for this Hela's Wrath.

By the time Fenner returned from her treasure hunt, the situation on the eternal battlefield had undergone a fundamental change.

Not only did the heroic spirit of the orc commander break out of the encirclement, but the Alliance also received assistance from the "good Samaritan" Mr. Black Shaw who happened to be passing through Hades and came to help.

"Sigourney, the Soul Hater."

In another fog, the stinky pirate was casting spells quickly. After obtaining the legendary power of the Hand of the Void, which was a mixed blessing, Black rarely used magic to solve problems in the material world.

He was afraid that he would accidentally summon a void monster.

But naturally there is no need to be so cautious in Hades, especially when the second target is also a spell caster. Black rarely used his skills as a master warlock.

He waved his hand and threw out the void-formed Shadow Fury, knocking out the summoned lost souls around the Nine Martial Soul Resisters in front of him, and unleashing various curses in turn.

There is also the hateful old man Thaqir who is assisting.

The pirate holding the Sinner's Spine leisurely stretched out his hand to crush a soul that escaped from the magic sickle, imposed a state of increased spell destructive power on himself, then waved his hand, and instantly chanted a large lavender surprise. of soul fire.

The moment the thing was released, it hit Signi who was constantly entangled by void tentacles in front of her.

The poor Nine Martial God's magic shield was shattered by one blow, and the burning of the void fire made undead souls like her cover their heads and scream in pain.

The pain of his body being burned by the void was nothing compared to the mental shock that kept popping up in his mind.

The undead's tolerance for pain is always higher than that of flesh and blood.

However, for them, the magic that disturbs the mind is even more deadly.

Not to mention that every time Blake casts a spell, the cold night's forced silence effect is attached, making it impossible for Signe, who is also a spellcaster, to cast even a single counterattack or self-protection spell.

As for the lost souls she passively summoned, the tentacles born from raging in the void swept across, and the eyeballs were struck, and they couldn't even enter the pirate's melee zone.

It had been a long time since he had used magic to fight against an enemy, and Blake felt a little itchy.

Seeing that the Soul Hater was struggling to dispel the magic of the chaotic mind, and was still planning to sing the torrent of doomsday songs, he grinned and reached out to pull down a black hand that had turned into a void from the heights of Hades.

The meteorite with purple light roared into the fog and hit Signi.

Let the poor soul complainer be smashed into the dirty ground of the eternal battlefield like a bald chicken. The meteorite explosion no longer summons demons, but bursts out pure void energy, filling the surrounding area with purple energy waves twisted like snakes. .

A strange sound came from the crater, and the pirate raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to take a look.

Good guy.

A female Nine Martial God undead is trapped in the hell of void tentacles. Those tentacles that appear and disappear interfere with her mind, prevent the flow of her magic power, and restrain her limbs.

Signy was entangled with more than a dozen purple tentacles, as if she was in a "swarm of snakes".

The meaning of that scene was actually very terrifying, but in the eyes of the "well-informed" pirates, this terrible scene suddenly became something wrong.

It always feels a bit like "degenerate bondage". Especially the way the Nine Martial Gods were struggling helplessly while being slapped and pulled by their tentacles was really unseemly!

"I knew that nothing good would happen if I got involved with the void."

The pirate shook his body, covered his eyes and said:

"This cannot be seen by others. I'm sorry, ma'am. For the sake of my reputation, I can only destroy the evidence."

After saying that, the evil pirate raised his hand and summoned rain of fire flying all over the sky to fall, and then triggered the burning flames of hell.

But due to the transformation of void energy, Black's Rain of Fire and Hell's Flames were no longer red flames, but turned into strange purple flowing fire.

The collateral damage has also changed from simple impact, burning and ignition, to mental corrosion and void assimilation.

Continuous casting of spells finally opened a crack from the void in the purple crater.

Like the huge mouth of the abyss, it was dim and did not reflect a trace of light. The moment it appeared, it began to swallow up the reality of this hell.

The pirate took a few steps back and saw the already confused Soul Hater Signe being swallowed up by the closing maw of the void while twitching in pain.

He even heard substantial chewing sounds, and under the crater floor, only a broken shadow spear and tattered armor remained.

The good news is that this magical confrontation proved that the probability of void rifts being opened by magic is not high, at least not as often as the pirate imagined, which means that he can continue to use magic with confidence in regular combat.

The bad news is that the void rift swallows reality more powerfully than he imagined. Once this thing is opened in the material world, it will swallow up a small village in just a few minutes.

A slightly troubled Blake stood at the edge of the pit and made the Holy Light Church's prayer gesture downwards on his chest.

He said:

"I will pray for you, madam. I hope you don't lose yourself in the void and stay firm! His Majesty Hela still needs you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of white light flew up from the pit, rushed into the mist-shrouded sky, divided into seven rays and landed in different areas.

This is the return of divine power.

Obviously, the Soul Hater Signe chose to commit suicide in the void. She conveyed the news of her death to her sisters, and also brought a warning.

Someone dangerous and nasty is hunting them.

Sisters! be careful!

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness in marking my next target. It seems that my prayers are still useful."

The pirate threw a bag of goblin bombs forward. In the loud explosion, "the corpses were destroyed and no traces were left." He put away the scythe of the Sinner's Spine and took out the Salamani sword again.

Black glanced back behind him. The heroic spirits commanded by Muradin were breaking out this way, and a second road had been opened.

Calculated based on the width of the eternal battlefield, the pirates only need to open the last channel, which is enough for the heroic spirits to rush out from the encirclement of the Hylagar Legion.

As long as they break through this line of defense, there will be no obstacle to the road to Hela's throne.

The Queen of Hades is waiting for them there.

The intertwined emotions of solicitation, use, betrayal, hostility, failure, and resentment at the beginning of the story represent the long-lasting connection and complicated past between Blake and Hades.

They will all end today.

Even if it's just a temporary end.
