Rise of the blood elves

"Release me and I will give you endless power"

Angmar followed the leading Knight of the Silver Hand down the passage, the whispers in his mind never stopping.

The shadows were as thick as substance, and the stone wall of the passage was covered by a strange "black carpet", with many slowly swinging tentacles growing on it. As soon as they saw a living being, they danced wildly towards everyone.

The leaders, Tirion and Dathrohan, immediately summoned the power of the holy light, and their warhammers and armor were soon enchanted with a layer of holy light.There was no need for the two of them to kill, the shadow tentacles were completely annihilated by the light before they even got close.

No one spoke, and the darkness was like a heavy stone pressing on people's hearts. Everyone was trying their best to slow down their steps so as not to wake up the terrifying existence in the darkness.It was extremely quiet, except for the hissing sound of the shadow creatures being purified.Everyone came to an abyss quietly.Dathrohan raised his arm, and all the Silver Hand paladins stopped.

Angmar couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and watch.

Everything in front of him was just as he knew it in his previous life. A stone bridge that was about to collapse crossed the abyss and connected to the stone chamber where Zakaz was sealed.The stone chamber was seriously damaged, and the sealing device set by Azadas and Elonaya was missing.

The battle between Emperor Thoradin and Zakaz must have damaged those devices.

It was very dark all around, with only the incomplete lighting facilities at the top of the ceiling still emitting a faint light, slightly illuminating the outline of the scenery.

In the darkness, a huge creature lay prone in the center of the stone room.It has an extremely thick carapace, and under its octopus-like face, there are several arthropod-like tentacles curled up.It should have fallen to the ground in the same position as before being "killed". The giant pincers at the end of its two arms were placed in front of its face, holding a pair of rusty armor inside.

Angmar's eyes lit up. It was the armor of Emperor Thoradin during his lifetime. Unexpectedly, more than 2000 years had passed. Even the owner's bones had been turned into fly ash, but it remained. It was unknown what material it was made of.

"That is Zakaz, one of the most cunning Xeraki generals in the Dark Empire. Only the largest and most powerful faceless men are worthy of being called Xeraki, and Zarkaz is one of them. One of the best."

Angmar explained softly that he suddenly noticed that what he had mistaken for a tentacle because his vision was previously blocked by the giant claws was actually reflecting the unique light of metal.

"Look, the Stormka is on top of him."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough they saw the strange-looking artifact that was completely unlike what human forging technology could create.

"Is it possible for it to revive?" Dathrohan asked. "If not, take off the artifact as soon as possible, and then we will immediately return to the hall. This always gives me an ominous premonition."

Angmar shook his head, "For thousands of years, Stromka has been suppressing Zakaz's resurrection. If it is removed, it will inevitably awaken it, and a battle will be inevitable."

Dathrohan and Tirion looked at each other, walked quietly to the edge of the abyss and looked down, then quickly stepped back and said to everyone: "No, the terrain here is too unfavorable for us."

Jaina and the Kirin Tor mages also nodded after hearing this.If they cross the stone bridge to fight on the other side, once the huge Zakaz wakes up, he may have to occupy half of the stone room. By then, everyone will have no room to move around. The only way to escape is this rickety bridge. If you are not careful, you will fall. He fell into the abyss and fell to pieces.

"You really shouldn't cross the bridge," Angmar also held the same view. He looked at Jaina and the others, "While Stromka is still suppressing Zakaz, bombard it with spells here. At least It can cause some damage to it.”

When he finished speaking and turned to look at Zakaz again, the powerful creature suddenly opened his eyes and met Angmar's eyes.

A terrifying low laugh also sounded in his heart: "Don't you crave power, bug?"

Angmar's clothes were instantly wet with cold sweat, and then he realized that this was another illusion. Zakaz fell there without moving at all.

"Okay, let's act quickly."

Everyone took action quickly. The Silver Hand paladins formed a protective formation in front, while the Dalaran mages prepared spells behind them.The amount of magic materials these people bring is outrageous, including magic crystals, runes, spells, and spell scrolls.

Several forbidden magic level magic circles were quickly set up, and with the charging of many epic mages and countless magic crystals, frightening magic fluctuations were soon emitted.

After working for nearly half an hour, they inevitably fell into Zakaz's illusion several times, but with the previous experience, everyone quickly returned to normal.Jaina finally nodded and said: "Everything is ready."

Everyone nodded to each other, took a deep breath, and prepared for battle.

"put"

Dathrohan gave an order, and countless spells suddenly blasted away at Zakaz, causing the entire space to rumble and gravel to fall continuously.

"Roar"

A fierce roar resounded through the cave, and Zakaz woke up.

Before the smoke cleared, a giant pincer was seen breaking through the thick dust, carrying a huge force and quickly attacking the Silver Hand Paladin in the row. As long as it was caught, it would end in two parts.

The two legendary strong men Dathrohan and Tirion reacted instantly. They raised their war hammers and hit the giant claw hard. With a loud "bang", the holy light on their weapons was shaken away, and they were all connected. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

Looking at the war hammers in their hands, they were already full of cracks.

Zakaz was weakened to the extreme, but the power of one blow was still so terrifying that even the two legendary paladins could not touch his edge.

The magicians of Dalaran continued to cast spells. Although the smoke was thick and invisible, everyone could sense the extremely powerful shadow creature. Just pouring out spells was enough.

The sound of rumbling was endless, and a giant claw rushed out of the thick smoke again and attacked everyone.But Dathrohan and Tirion were not the only ones to react this time.

All the idle mages, including Angmar, used their own talents and tried their best to reduce the impact of the giant claws.

Angmar immediately cast two spells that he had been able to simplify to an instantaneous level, and attached them to the giant claw.

Slowness essentially uses arcane magic to condense the air around the target, causing it to slow down. It is a very flexible spell.Not only can it be used to chase the enemy, but it can also be used on the enemy's weapon when receiving a close attack, thus reducing the damage that may be received.

But with Zakaz's terrifying power, how could he be hindered by two slow spells to prevent the giant claw from losing its power and continue to fall towards the Paladins.

In just one second, other mages' spells also arrived, including frost spells, stance blocking, and someone even summoned an ice wall in front of the paladins.

The obstruction, regardless of the mana consumption, finally gave the Paladins enough time. Before the giant pincer arrived, they worked together to summon a holy light barrier, which completely resisted the giant pincer's swing.

There was another "bang", and the giant claw returned without success again. The holy light barrier was only a little weaker, with no sign of breaking at all.

Angmar was a little frightened when he saw it. It was extremely difficult for multiple people to combine their mana in one place to cast a spell. A slight oversight by any one of them would cause the spell to fail.

He had always thought that Paladins were good at close combat and were not as good as Priests in the use of sacred spells, but today these Silver Hand Paladins opened his eyes.The alliance's former highest-end combat power was indeed well-deserved.

The giant claws retracted into the thick smoke, and there was no more movement.He was startled and reminded loudly: "Be careful of shadow spells."

Before he could finish his words, dozens of shadow arrows rushed towards him with long tail flames. Some of them collided with the spells of the mages in mid-air and were destroyed, while the rest bombarded the holy light barrier.

In fact, Angamaduo needed to say that everyone present was strong, at least equal to his strength. Everyone felt the shadow energy gathering in the thick smoke and had already taken precautions.

The powerful General Xeraki on the other side of the thick smoke, if he were in his prime, would naturally wipe out everyone present.But at this time, it had already lost all its power in the long seal, and was suppressed by Stromka to revive. The shadow power in the body had been drained away by it. It would be strange to see what kind of waves it could make.

Whether it was a physical attack or a magical attack, even if Zakaz summoned endless shadow creatures and attacked from every corner, everyone was able to resolve them without any danger.The magic attacks of Dalaran mages never stopped. Even a city was about to be razed, not to mention the weakened Zakaz.

Gradually, Zakaz's offensive weakened, and even the shadow energy permeating the space dissipated a lot.

Finally, after a pyroblast operation with the combined efforts of everyone, there was a loud "bang", and there was completely no movement on the other side of the abyss.

Someone whipped up strong winds to blow away the thick smoke, and saw that the once arrogant Zakaz had been blasted into the rock wall. His carapace was shattered, and strange dark blood flowed everywhere. The arthropod-like tentacles on his chin twitched from time to time. Two clicks, and it seemed that death was not far away.

Looking at the dilapidated stone chamber where it was previously imprisoned, it has long since disappeared.The cave space was expanded several times by rounds of spell bombardment, and there were large pits and gravel everywhere.

However, the "dangerous bridge" across the abyss and the stone pillars supporting the top were not completely destroyed, although they were more severely damaged.

"As expected of this project, which was built by the Titan Guardian himself, it is really strong." Angmar said with emotion. If it had been an ordinary cave, it would have collapsed long ago.

"It's over" Jaina asked breathlessly.

But no one dares to draw a conclusion.That was Zakaz, one of the most powerful servants under the ancient god. His vitality was far beyond imagination.

In the end, everyone rested for half an hour and launched a second round of spell bombing. They refused to stop until the cave was on the verge of collapse.

Facing such a cunning and unusual creature, one can never be too careful.

"I'm going to check." All detection spells were used, and after confirming that Zakaz was completely incapacitated, Angmar took the lead and walked across the stone bridge, preparing to end its life.

"Wait." Tirion and Jaina quickly followed, and the three of them cautiously approached Zakaz embedded in the stone wall.

"What a terrifying creature. It still emits such terrifying shadow energy after death."

Jaina had to grit her teeth and use her last mana to cast protective spells on several people to avoid being affected by the shadow energy.

"It's not dead yet." Angmar said in a deep voice as he looked at Stromka above Zakaz's head.

Even the self-destruction of Guardian Tyr failed to kill it. How could this magic alone do it? Everyone just took advantage of Zakaz being suppressed by Stromka and unable to recover. Otherwise, no matter what period of time, Zakaz will never be defeated so easily.

"What?" The two of them couldn't believe it. If it wasn't dead, how on earth would it be killed?

Angmar silently climbed up the stone wall, stepped on Zakaz's broken shoulder shell, and reached out to pull out Stromka.Unexpectedly, the artifact was pulled out immediately, and he almost lost strength and fell.It turned out that the original spell bombardment had enlarged its wound. Even if he didn't pull it out, Stromka would almost fall off.

Stromka's hand is very heavy, and it is not a heavy-handed two-handed sword that he can use.Perhaps even weaker ordinary warriors cannot use it freely because it is too heavy.

He looked at the exaggerated blade of Stromka. This ancient weapon was made using the forging process inherited from the ancient Vrykul people, with a retro style.After absorbing more than 2000 years of shadow power from Zakaz, there is shadow energy flowing on the blade, which is condensed but not emitted, both good and evil.

This artifact is one of the few weapons that can completely kill Zakaz.

He held the sword with both hands and turned it upside down, using his luck, he stabbed Zakaz hard on the head.

With a "pop" sound, Stromka cut through General Xseraki's thick carapace like cutting tofu.

"Ouch" the painful wail flooded into Angmar's mind like needles. Zakaz's body trembled violently, almost throwing him off.

He was still uneasy, and after the trembling stopped, he added a second sword, and a third sword
