Warcraft novel series

Thanks to the addition of Xavier, the Druids who were initially captured at the outpost were able to gather together and form a fighting group, and the already disintegrated situation was stabilized by the appearance of Xavier. This gave Malfurion time to summon Ysera. But there was still a problem with this summoning. The problem was not with the summoning spell, but with the green light swirling in the sky. Suddenly, a red light broke through the barrier set by the Moon God Priest and fell straight on Cenarius. on the body. Following a fierce and dazzling flash, Cenarius' body suddenly disappeared. This sudden scene prevented all the druids from even having time to raise their staffs and chant the simplest moonlight spell. At this moment, the spell to summon Ysera was also completed. The Ysera who came out of the dream was no longer the noble and elegant appearance of the past, and his body had more or less traces of being eroded by nightmares. But as the owner of the Emerald Dream, such a small amount of corrosion will not work on an Aspect Dragon. After he appeared, he obviously knew what was going on and signaled the obviously panicked Druids to stay quiet.

"Cenarius suddenly disappeared……"Malfurion wanted to explain what was happening, but he didn't know how to describe what had just happened. And Ysera just nodded silently, and brought an even more desperate news,"The Emerald Dream has fallen. Xavius ​​and his satyr demons have completely occupied the Emerald Dream. I think Cenarius Si has been brought to the fallen Emerald Dream by him"

"What!"Malfurion could hardly believe his ears. Even the Emerald Dream has fallen. So what's the use of everything we do now? Malfurion roared desperately, although he tried to calm down as much as possible. , but in the end he still couldn't control his emotions. Roaring loudly seemed to calm him down quickly. After trying to suppress the trembling of his whole body caused by anger, he looked up at Ysera. It was still the same pair of There is no emotion in the calm eyes

"On my back, we must stop Xavius ​​from bringing the creatures of nightmares to reality, and if necessary, we will destroy the World Tree here."Ysera said calmly, and motioned for Malfurion to ride on her back. Although he failed in the Emerald Dream, in reality, he would never admit defeat. He would spray the flames of revenge to Those nightmare minions, and Malfurion will be the witness of all this.

The druids led by Xavier also encountered a big crisis, and the overwhelming nightmares appeared from nowhere with an overwhelming momentum. Although there were sentries surrounding the corrupted World Tree, the number of druids killed and corrupted was constantly rising. Even with Xavier's Holy Light Barrier, the situation still did not improve. It was a last resort. They could only move everyone with them to the nearby temple of the Priestess of the Moon Goddess. The priestesses supported the Moon Goddess's tranquility barrier and barely resisted the tide of nightmare attacks. But the situation did not change for a short period of time. After resting and feeling a little better, the druids who were scratched by nightmares during the battle began to fall into a deep sleep. This kind of sleep was a precursor to entering the Emerald Dream. The Emerald Dream was once a place where they could cleanse their souls and be saved. Now that is The territory of the Nightmare King Xavius. If these druids enter there, they are likely to be corrupted immediately. And if a corruptor appears in this barrier, it will be unimaginable consequences. At this moment, Xavier somehow remembered The memory of the small town in Darrow County when he was still a forgotten person. This dream town was destroyed because it was penetrated from the inside, and Xavier certainly doesn’t want such a thing to happen now, thinking of it Seeing the image of the little blond girl lying in his arms, he secretly vowed never to let the tragedy happen again.

So Xavier began to use the power of holy light to help the druids dispel the darkness spreading on them. His hands went to Heal the druids who have hideous faces in their dreams. As expected, the pollution of nightmares resists Xavier's invasion. Just like they touched Cenarius for the first time, they turned into flames and tried to surround Xavier. But the corrupting energy attached to these druids was obviously not comparable to the power used to corrupt Cenarius. When these black flames briefly attached to Xavier's hands, they were swallowed up and destroyed by the shining holy light. As the corrosive energy disappeared, the druids began to relax their brows one by one, as if they were relieved.

However, this progress was not exactly what Xavier expected. When a certain number of druids After the corruption was dispelled, the corrupted energy seemed to have a common consciousness. They all flocked to Xavier. Before the guardian of Azeroth could chant the magic of holy light, he had been taken to a completely dark place. place.

It seemed to be an endless dark nightmare space, where there was a man with a graceful figure but no face standing in the middle of the space. He seemed to be waiting for Xavier's arrival, and when Xavier really came When it was over, he encouraged the corrosive nightmare to pounce on Xavier."Holy light, please illuminate this corrupt human heart and let the nightmare be dispelled."As Xavier sang, the original darkness was dispersed by light. This black area shrouded in thick fog was illuminated like daylight, but only the human figure standing in the middle of this space was not dispersed by the holy light.

But This is not important, Xavier raised the Sword of Dawn, and the silver-shining sword slashed down. The motionless black shadow was immediately split into two. But then the split black shadow The shadow turned into a mist and came together again. But this time his originally covered face gradually became clear.

It was a tall figure with two horns. He had a strong body, but the bone spurs were leaking out. Although his arms have all the characteristics of a demon, he has the face of an elf.

However, this face that should have been beautiful and handsome has become dark and vicious because of the compromise with the demon and the new power he gained. The desire for power The pursuit made him lost in the nightmare, and eventually he became the master of the nightmare, his name was Xavius. At this moment, Xavius, who finally saw Xavier, spoke first, it was an indescribable voice that was slightly charming but A voice that is disgusting but makes people want to hear what he says."I finally meet you as the Guardian of Azeroth, or perhaps I should call you the Nightmare King more appropriately. Xavius ​​greeted Xavier with a strange name, but the answer was indeed the sword wielded by Xavier. The silver light roared towards him, but suddenly collapsed when he got close to the man, and there were dots of silver. The light fades away

"It's useless. The Nightmare King who hasn't awakened yet can't hurt me at all. Xavius ​​showed an evil smile and introduced himself,"My name is Xavius, the Nightmare King. I think you should have heard rumors about me from that Archdruid Malfurion. If you still have If I have the opportunity to meet him, please help me tell him that I will pay back everything he has done to me."Savis said this but still looked indifferent. There was neither disdain nor arrogance in his dark brown eyes, but a kind of calmness that made people unable to see the depth.

"Destiny is really strange. People who are fooled by fate from beginning to end are sad. In fact, I am the same. Xavius ​​still said calmly, but this seemingly elegant feeling made Xavier feel sick. No one is a chess piece, but sometimes it is not something that he can easily choose. Thinking of what was once hidden in The ancient gods behind the scenes are about to come to the front, and he will eventually make a decision that may never be looked back according to the guidance of the Holy Light. His heart is beating loudly and he can no longer calm down.

And it seems that he can see that Xaviers, who was worried about Xavier, showed a faint smile,"Since you can't stop the rotation of the gears of fate, then enjoy your last freedom."The black mist surged like a tide and flooded Xavier and the space he was in. It was like a dark dream. Those who fell deep in it could only struggle in pain. Even the holy light could not dispel it.

"We must be quick. The leaks of the nightmare minions are starting to increase. I guess Xavius ​​may have decided to take action himself. His target may be one of us, or it may be Xavier."Ysera, flying in the air, constantly breathing, communicated with Malfurion in her heart. Below them were endless nightmare minions, corrupted druids, tree elves, forest guards and lizards. They climbed out of the cave at the foot of the World Tree, one by one, surrounding all the moon temples in Val'sharah. Malfurion could clearly see from the air, all the druids in Val'sharah They all began to huddle into the Temple of the Moon for the final resistance, including his wife, the high priest Tyrande. The holy moonlight illuminated the entire Temple of Elune, and Tyrande's moon god prayed. This light was this The most dazzling light in the dark and gloomy Val'sharah, but even so, he seemed too lonely. Malfurion, flying in the air at this moment, was extremely anxious, and he could do nothing while Ysera was with her. But At this moment, a pair of eyes were already aimed at them. Xavius, who had an elf face and a demonic body, was holding a red gem exuding a nightmare atmosphere on the ground and aiming at Ysera and Malfurion in the air. And before him After reciting a few spells silently, the gem exuding the aura of nightmare suddenly emitted a dazzling red light. The light shot straight into the sky like a sharp sword and accurately hit the flying Ysera.

When seeing the light and The moment Ysera's body came into contact, the crimson energy spread out in an instant, binding Ysera tightly like chains, making him unable to flap his wings. And Ysera, unable to flap her wings, began to straighten It fell straight down."The land of Val'sharah, I beg you to listen to my call, all things will flourish!"Malfurion activated the druid's earth magic at this critical moment. The dirty soil was broken by green vines. The fresh vines quickly became thick and supported a green ocean. They wanted to create a huge The net caught Malfurion's falling body. As for Ysera, his weight could not be supported by these vines. Ysera suddenly fell to the ground, leaving a huge crater in the dust.

When the smoke cleared Even when Ysela stood up again, her emerald-colored scales were already covered with red markings, and her golden eyes seemed to be shrouded in black mist at this moment."No!"Malfurion made a cry of despair. He didn't believe that even the Queen of Dreams had been corrupted by Xavius. The former dream was standing in front of him at this moment, and the red vertical pupils showed that he had already It was Xavius's nightmare servant.

At this time, a red chain had already tightly bound Malfurion and he said,"Let's go, Malfurion, I think you need to take a good look at what you expect." The Emerald Dream looks like now."Xavius, who was riding Ysera, showed a satisfied smile, while Malfurion, who was hung in the air, was fluttering like fallen leaves in the wind. As Xavius ​​left, the nightmare army retreated like a tide. The Temple of Elune was saved, but there was no smile on Tyrande's face at this moment, because all he could see was her husband's retreating back, disappearing into the hazy sky.
