Warcraft novel series

But his actions gave Xavier the opportunity to draw his sword. He took a step forward, and the white sword light flashed past, and the seemingly invincible existence was split in two in front of him. But Xavier did not relax because of this. The two halves of the ancient god in front of him were like ripples in the water, and then returned to the way he had just appeared. Still wearing that ghostly smile, without any trace of surprise

"Anger is not a good habit, but we allow you to be willful once and continue your final journey. I hope you will live up to our expectations."With echoing laughter, the guys who were called ancient gods but no one knew their names disappeared into this nightmare of nothingness. With the disappearance of the ancient gods, everything in front of me became clear again, and in the dissipated dream The figure of Hungry Malfurion appeared again. Small wounds could still be seen on the half-naked Arch Druid. Although he had been treated, it could be vaguely seen what kind of hard battle he had gone through. And before them The last two dreams in front of him actually merged into a larger dream portal. It seemed that Xavius ​​was tired of fighting one after another and wanted to find more exciting scenes. They looked at each other. The two comrades-in-arms saw only perseverance on their faces at this moment. They no longer needed any extra words to express themselves. In their eyes, it was the final destination. They passed through the shimmering door of dreams and appeared in front of the two people. In a wide platform, Cenarius, whose body was covered with the red threads of nightmare corruption, stood quietly in the center of the mountain col, waiting for the arrival of the two people."Cenarius, here I come."Reciting this name silently, and looking at the name of Cenarius, who had been completely corrupted by darkness, Malfurion took a firm step. This was a battle that belonged to Malfurion.

As Malfurion Every time Ao takes a step, a green halo will appear under his feet. The surging force of nature brings a different brilliance to the crimson color of this nightmare space. I feel Malfurion Cenarius, who was approaching, finally opened his eyes. There was no trace of color in his dark eyes, but his deep voice was still as heavy and deep as before."You shouldn't have come, the nightmare has covered it." After destroying the entire Val'sharah, leaving with those druids who have not yet fallen asleep is the best choice."

Of course Malfurion knew this was right, but he couldn't do it. He had to stand by and watch his teacher become a servant of the nightmare. He couldn't do such a thing. What's more, Ysera has been corrupted. Now, if you still sit back and watch Cenarius be corrupted, then the Druid's faith will suffer the most fatal blow. What should they believe in and where should they go? And Cenarius, who seems to have a hint of agility in the dark eyes in front of him He already knew his disciple's choice. Although he didn't want to, the battle that was bound to happen was inevitable. The black and red tentacles pierced the soil, and they formed a wall of thorns, blocking each other layer by layer. Malfurion's footsteps approached. At the same time, black and red flowers bloomed on the layers of thorn walls. The smell of decaying nightmares continued to spread, trying to bring Malfurion into the nightmare."Purify! Malfurion shouted softly and raised his arms. A green halo spread out around Malfurion, and Rosemary's nightmare aura was instantly dispelled.

"You know, I won't succumb to the darkness, and neither can you, not Xavius."I don't know when a green staff was held in Malfurion's hand. He raised his hand and waved it gently. A group of green light with the breath of life blew away, and it was covered with black and red flowers. The wall of thorns began to wither and wither quickly. Along with the withering of the wall of thorns, the figure of Cenarius appeared in front of them again. It's just that the Cenarius who had been corrupted by nightmares was surrounded by many tree elves who were corrupted by nightmares. Forest guards, and the shapeless dryad warrior. But these were not reasons for Malfurion to stop. Behind Malfurion, he saw a low-flying dragon. The red Wings, a body with dark red silk threads all over his body, and a crescent crown on his head. But he is no longer the thoughtful dream queen. At this moment, Malfurion chose not to look at this already The completely depraved female dragon queen was not sighing because of the depravity of this gentle queen, but also because those elves with fluttering wings were flying towards her happily.

Behind them were pillows holding big swords and The Dryads and the Tomahawks were all covered in black mist, making it impossible to distinguish their faces. The forest guards following them were swaying and walking extremely slowly. Their huge bodies made them move slowly. , and brought vibrations to the earth. And their slow movements made the already unstable flight of the swaying elves even more shaky, and some elves were even hit by the wind brought by their movements. Together.

The two elves that collided exploded at an unexpected speed. Those loud explosions brought up dust all over the sky, and under the cover of the dust, the tree demons whose faces could no longer be seen held up big guns. Swords and battle axes rushed over.

The sharp sword left a scratch on Malfurion's body, and dark red blood flowed out, but he was instantly healed by the main force of life that filled his body. And Malfurion jumped back to hide. Malfurion brought down the staff with his backhand, and the sound of the wood breaking crackled. At the same time, he chanted a spell, and vines emerged from the soil and entangled these apparently irrational dryads. As for those little ones who could self-destruct Elves, a wind magic is enough to make them the main force in this battle.

But a crisis that caught people off guard still came. When the slow forest guards joined the battlefield, rows of red vines began to sprout from the ground. When they came out, they got entangled with Malfurion's vines and then burst into pieces. They brought up a red mist that could not even be blown away by the wind. In the mist, the elves with pairs of light blue eyes fell one by one. He rushed towards Malfurion.

At this time, a holy light descended from the sky, and the solemn voice sounded again,"In the name of the holy light, I purify everything!""Following Xavier's voice, a huge explosion instantly occurred where the light fell. A large number of elves were detonated, and the bark of the forest guards who were shattered with them flew all over the ground. At this moment, Malfurion cast a grateful look at Xavier, but at the same time told Xavier to just leave this kind of battle to him. At this time, Ysera, who had been motionless, pounced on Xavier, obviously He did not want Xavier to become Malfurion's help, and raised the Sword of Dawn burning with the power of the Holy Light. Xavier was also ready to completely free Ysera. On the other hand, Malfurion Finally, he raised his staff towards his teacher,"I'm sorry, if I can't purify you, I will have to let you return to the soil."The vines that suddenly burst out of the soil rushed towards Cenarius crazily. But facing the origin of all natural forces, they finally stopped one meter away from Cenarius. The twisted and swaying vines seemed to They were bowing their heads in worship to their gods. After twisting a few times, they got back into the soil again, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm very pleased that your natural magic has improved."The praise from Cenarius should have made Malfurion feel extremely honored, but now there was only a trace of bitterness and sadness. Malfurion suddenly inserted the staff on the ground and recited the ancient spell, his thick arms The vines suddenly rose from Cenarius's feet and tied up Cenarius tightly before they recognized the identity of the God of Nature.

But Malfurion's face did not show a trace of pride. , because he saw that the vines that bound Cenarius began to wither visibly, and shattered into debris as the god of nature moved."You are my best student, the control of nature Always a quick learner, but that’s not enough. Cenarius said as a small black vine unknowingly wrapped itself around Malfurion's ankle. With his corrosive power, he left a visible wound on Malfurion's ankle. And there is something black like ink attached to the wound.

"The flames of the moon, purify all of this."The little bits of light responded to Malfurion's appeal and turned into a small ball of flame. The black vines were burned to ashes by the light blue flames, but they also left a trace visible to the naked eye on the Arch Druid's ankle. The scars. Cenarius, standing opposite Malfurion, seemed not surprised at all that his disciple could do this. Instead, he was like a teacher who wanted to stump his students and was preparing to assign more difficult topics to wait for Malfurion. Ao did it.

With his gesture, black vines sprouted out of the ground in an instant, but they were no longer the thin black vines. The vines as thick as fists weaved a large net to surround Mafa. Leo was wrapped in it, and the black poisonous juice dripped on Malfurion's face and body, causing little black ripples. They were not venom but better than venom. The black juice corroded Malfurion. His belief in the power of nature also included his last trace of respect for Cenarius.

At this time, a song that broke the sky sounded, which was Malfurion's last prayer,"Let the fire from the stars burn this world." This filthy land, I swear in the name of Iona, the Titan of Nature, to keep all filth away from your sight! Malfurion suddenly thrust the staff into the earth, attracting the natural fire that could burn out all nightmares. The blue flame with a hint of green engulfed himself, and began to move toward him with his body as the center. Radiation spread all around. All the black vines close to him burst into flames, and the red flames illuminated the entire sky, and also illuminated Cenarius' eyes that gradually turned scarlet.

"I am very pleased with your growth, Malfurion."Cenarius stood there with bright red tears flowing out of her eyes. The tears were emitting purple-black mist along with the blue flames that had been burning on her body. The rising weapon continued to rise into the sky, destroying the original The void left by the power of Xavier's Holy Light that penetrated the sky was reoccupied, once again returning this nightmare land to its twilight appearance.

And as the twilight restored, the flames burning on Cenarius It also began to fade away gradually, and as these flames faded, the nightmare that corrupted Cenarius also unknowingly retreated. Standing in front of Malfurion was still the god of nature whom he respected, but that There were visible cracks all over the body, but the reassuring smile still hung on Cenarius's face."You did a good job, thank you."The voice seemed to float out of the sky and gradually fade away. Following the voice, the decaying body could no longer support it, and made a crackling sound. Pieces fell to the ground one by one, and some turned into powder. go with the wind

"Sorry, I still can't let you be saved in the end."Malfurion said sadly, green vines grew out of the remains of Cenarius, and they soon bloomed with light yellow flowers, as if to indicate that even if he died, he would still protect this place. A piece of land, leaving a little hope in the nightmare. As a god, Cenarius will not really die unless all of Azeroth is destroyed. He will wake up again many years later and stand up again in the green dream. Leading the druids who believe in nature to create a new paradise.

Gently touching this yellow flower, Malfurion silently prayed that the teacher would hear his blessing. At this time, a huge beam suddenly landed in the sky behind him The beam of light completely illuminated this hazy place. At the same time, he also announced that the battle belonging to Xavier was over. A huge green dragon corpse lay quietly on the ground, and Ysera finally got what he wanted. Death, and his fall also proved the ownership of the final winner. A green dragon queen who had lost her mind finally fell in the hands of Xavier who had exhausted the last power of the holy light. That piece of holy After the light disappeared, Xavier walked out with the Sword of Dawn. At this moment, Xavier could no longer use the power of the Holy Light in this nightmare land, but this would not change his determination to continue on.

"I know you will win because your will is as strong as steel."Although he lost the power of the Holy Light, Xavier still said with a smile. In response to such a compliment, Malfurion just shook his head and smiled bitterly,"Maybe I should regard this as a compliment, but for the friendly and natural-minded Great Drew, Yi's will is compared to steel, but I'm not happy at all. Xavier just shook his head, looked at the leisurely path that appeared when Cenarius and Ysera fell, and said quietly,"See, that is the road leading to the place where Xavius ​​is in the deepest part of the nightmare." , I still have to face him after all. If possible, I hope it will be me alone."

Malfurion did not respond immediately. He looked at Xavier carefully, as if he was an old friend he had not seen for a long time, trying to see clearly every change in this guardian of Azeroth. After a long time, he said,"Ten thousand years I had killed Xavius ​​before, but apparently he was resurrected again with some unknown power and became stronger than before, but I still have the confidence to defeat it again, even though I just lost. Pass."Malfurion made no secret of his failure and was very calm. It was this spirit that allowed him to spend thousands of years without losing his mind.

"But you can't defeat those behind the scenes who gave Xavius ​​his power. Xavier's eyes looked at Malfurion as if he wanted to see through all the thoughts of the great druid. Even Malfurion would be somewhat uncomfortable being looked at by the guardian of Azeroth like this. After a brief moment of embarrassment, the archdruid quickly returned to his former glory,"If you're talking about the ancient gods who are behind the scenes, I think maybe I don't have enough power, but if I give up here, , then not only this Emerald Dream, but also all places in Azeroth will have no tomorrow."

Xavier was not surprised that Malfurion knew about the Old Gods. With a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, he would definitely know a lot. After thinking for a moment, Xavier seemed to have made up his mind and said,"If I say I am the puppet chosen by those ancient gods, and I will probably replace Xavius ​​as the new nightmare monarch. What will you do? Malfurion did not expect Xavier to give such an answer. This made him confused for a long time before he still said firmly,"If you really become an enemy of Azeroth as you said, I will think Treat me like my teacher, try to save your soul if that fails……"Malfurion paused for a moment and then said slowly,"If we fail, we will remember your contribution to Azeroth and carve your name on the holy stone tablet in Darnassus so that future generations can forever remember"

"Thank you," Xavier heard Malfurion's reply and resolutely stepped into the quiet path leading to Xavius's place. As Xavier entered, the road was blocked by some kind of invisible wall. Blocking him, Malfurion, who wanted to get closer, was ejected by an invisible force, dooming him to withdraw from the battle.
