Rise of the blood elves

"You actually know my name"

The orc did not speak, but the old voice echoed in every corner of the chaotic spiritual world.

Ner'zhul stared at Angmar with interest for a long time.

"Blood Elf, it seems that just as Kel'Thuzad said, you are truly unique. I have never seen such a powerful soul. It is so powerful that even this banshee, who is far more powerful than you, cannot dispel your soul and occupy it. Your body."

When the Lich King spoke, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and heavy snow gradually began to float in the air. They appeared on a tall peak overlooking the entire ice and snow continent. The top of the peak was an open circular platform. If it were not covered with snow, you should be able to find traces of artificial chiseling, because it is impossible for such a standard plane to appear on the top of a mountain in nature.

At one corner of the peak, there are steps carved upwards on the mountain. At the top of the steps, there stands a huge piece of ice, with a pair of pure black armor frozen inside.

Angmar knew that this piece of ice mined from the depths of the Twisting Nether was Ner'zhul's eternal prison. The black armor worn by Arthas in later generations was Ner'zhul's trust in the world. A soul mutated by Ergadan's endless torture.

Kil'jaeden was born in the Eredar tribe, and together with Archimonde and Velen, formed the supreme Triumvirate, guiding the highly civilized Eredar tribe with wisdom.But when Sargeras extended an olive branch to them, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde fell. Only Velen received the warning from the Naaru and led all the people who were willing to follow him to escape with the help of the Naaru. Argus, and since then called himself "Draenei", which means "exile" in Eredar.

Kil'jaeden was furious about this and regarded Velen and those tribesmen as "traitors" who refused the gift. He continued to hunt down the draenei for many centuries in the endless darkness. However, every crisis during this period was able to Velen, who used the power of the Holy Light to predict parts of the future, saved the day.

The Draenei wandered in the universe for a long time, and finally found a beautiful world called Draenor to settle down. For many years, they have maintained little contact with the local orcs, but they have lived in peace with each other.

Unfortunately, their traces were still discovered by the Burning Legion.

Orcs believe in the way of shamans and gain wisdom and guidance by communicating with the souls of their ancestors. Shamans are the well-deserved spiritual leaders of each clan.Ner'zhul is the wisest and highest-status among the many shamans.

The cunning Kil'jaeden sneaked into Ner'zhul's dream and transformed into the latter's deceased wife. In the name of the soul of the ancestors, he warned Ner'zhul of the threat from the draenei, and encouraged Ner'zhul to use his influence to mobilize all the orc clans. Strike first and attack the draenei.

Soon after, out of his trust in his dead wife and the soul of his ancestors, the deceived Ner'zhul fulfilled Kil'jaeden's wish.Under the leadership of this elder, the clans formed a unified tribe and launched an attack on the draenei.

The draenei were unable to compete with the overwhelming orcs, and were almost wiped out. They had to sneak into the deep mountains and forests to survive.

Although Ner'zhul finally realized that he had been deceived, the draenei would not threaten the existence of the orcs at all. Even his late wife, whom he missed deeply, was left to Kil'jaeden, a demon who was good at lies and tricks. Camouflaged.He personally pushed all the orcs into the abyss of war, bringing corruption to Draenor.

But the matter has come to this, and there is no room for regret.After discovering Ner'zhul's utilization value, Kil'jaeden fostered his new agent. The former's ambitious apprentice Gul'dan spread the warlock's way of accompanying evil energies and demons to the orc tribe.

It’s hard to describe each story in detail, but in short, Gul’dan, who founded the Shadow Council, controlled the entire orc tribe behind the scenes, and opened the Dark Portal after contacting Medivh on Azeroth who was controlled by a ray of Sargeras’ soul. , launched a war against the world of Azeroth

When the Alliance defeated the Horde and sent an expeditionary force through the Dark Portal with the intention of solving the beast problem once and for all, Ner'zhul, who had been abandoned and retired to seclusion, once again stood up under the recommendation of Gul'dan's remaining forces such as Talon Gorefiend. Arrived in front of the stage.

The Alliance Expeditionary Force fought consecutive battles and the orc tribe was retreating steadily. Ner'zhul, who was greedy for life and feared death, used the Eye of Dalaran and other artifacts stolen from Azeroth. When the heavenly phenomena coincided with the devil's rhythm, he The original Temple of Karabor where the demons of Draenor gathered opened a portal to other worlds, abandoned all the tribesmen, and fled in with his cronies.

The portal tore Draenor apart, and Ner'zhul, who was walking through the space passage, was directly captured by Kil'jaeden, who was waiting for him.In order to punish this failure, Kil'jaeden would cramp Ner'zhul and strip him to his bones, tormenting him over and over again, and imprisoning him in a piece of ice judged from the depths of the Twisting Nether.

Kil'jaeden gave Ner'zhul the task of weakening Azeroth and placed his prison in Northrend, the frozen continent north of Azeroth.

The Ten Thousand-Ren Peak at the foot of Angmar rose from the ground when the ice hit the ground.

At this moment, the Lich King Ner'zhul is located in this Icecap Glacier, which is separated from the battlefield by thousands of mountains and rivers. He is located in this piece of ice, with a huge spiritual power that is difficult to fathom even with the utmost imagination of mortals. , controls millions of undead from natural disasters, and also controls the soul of the Banshee King Sylvanas.

But Angmar knew that what appeared in his spiritual world was just a mental projection of Ner'zhul, and his true body was not here.

"Your soul and body make me extremely curious. There is an external energy source with unlimited potential in your mortal body."

As soon as Ner'zhul opened his mouth, the biting cold wind howling around him became even colder.It was as if he was the master of Northrend, with every word and action echoed by the cold wind, bringing death and cold to every corner he looked at.

The Lich King walked up to Angmar, and Sylvanas "in his body" also made the same move.

With a "click" sound, he stretched out his hand and broke off a branch behind Angma, holding it in his hand and looking at it for a long time.

Angmar ignored him and looked for a way to escape over and over again.But in the face of the Lich King's terrifying mental power, this was destined to be a meaningless move.

Ner'zhul chuckled and smashed the branches into powder. The golden powder slipped from his fingers and was blown by the cold wind, drifting into the vortex of Angmar's memory.

"I want your soul and body, blood elf. You will obey me, just like Arthas, just like Kel'Thuzad." Ner'zhul handed down the verdict to Angmar, with a greedy look on his face. With a hint of expectation, as if he was dealing with some treasure that surprised him, "You will be the perfect exorcism for me to regain my freedom."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Angmar.

"Burning the soul power of this banshee will make things easier. Maybe I will lose this banshee, but there is no doubt that you are the most valuable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sylvanas's spiritual body ignited with strange blue fire.

"Ah" Sylvanas was like a maniac, every muscle in her body was spasming violently, and she howled in pain uncontrollably.

Ner'zhul ignored the Banshee Queen's screams and directly pressed his big hand on Angmar's head.

The endless chill that pierced the soul was transmitted to Angmar's spirit body along the orc's fingers.

Cold, extremely cold.

Just when he was almost desperate, a red light flashed between the two, and a fiery red dagger appeared in front of Ner'zhul.With a single stroke, Ner'zhul's mental projection instantly disintegrated.

"What no, no, this is impossible"
