Rise of the blood elves

"This is the power of shadow"

Archimonde was a little surprised.

The Twisting Nether is an endless frontier, where the physical universe meets the void realm.From time to time, shadow energy breaks through the weak barriers and pours into this chaotic and twisted plane.

Sargeras' purpose in destroying the material universe was to cut off the possibility of the void corrupting it, and he regarded the forces of the void as the ultimate enemy.In line with the principle of understanding the enemy, the initiator of the Burning Crusade and the master of the legion has not never studied shadow.

As his deputy, Archimonde relies on evil energy for a living. Although he relies on evil energy, he also has extremely profound insights into the shadows and void under this theme.

He could tell at a glance how powerful the shadow spell Angmar cast with that strangely shaped dagger, or dagger, which was completely unlike the dagger made by the mortal races on this planet.More importantly, any individual who is involved with the shadow, no matter how powerful or not, will be affected to a certain extent.But there was no sign of this on Angmar, which couldn't help but surprise him.

But the next scene surprised Archimonde even more.

Those crazily dancing tentacles ignored the evil flames burning fiercely around him and bound him tightly in the lightning and stone fire.

"what"

Archimonde struggled hurriedly, summoning more evil flames to burn out the shadow energy that made up the tentacles, and regained his freedom.

Although on the surface, the legion's deputy got rid of his restraints without much effort, Angmar's attack had no effect.But in fact, the gap in strength between the two is extremely huge, no different than an ant to a giant.

Archimonde should have been able to break free with absolute strength by moving his body.No, it should be said that no matter how much he underestimated the enemy, he should not be trapped for even a second by the ants' methods.

How could ants trap a giant?

But what Archimonde doesn't know is that the shadow energy is not completely controlled by Angmar.More importantly, Xal'atath is leading this force. Who is Xal'atas? Even if she is not good now, she is still the light and dark sensitive parasitic community of the past. In terms of rank, vision, and knowledge, no one is better than him. How many times higher.

The only pity is that the shadow energy is not enough.Otherwise, if Xalatath could control a shadow energy similar to that of himself in his heyday, not to mention one Archimonde, but five or ten, she would not take it seriously.Only when Titan comes here can she be cured.

"I'm beginning to miss the past again," Xal'atath's voice rang in Angmar's heart. "If it had just come to Azeroth, I could kill this demon with just a touch of my tentacles."

Angmar was extremely nervous.

The absolute strength gap between him and Archimonde is like a huge chasm. Even if the power of order and the power of shadow in the body are combined, they are far behind each other.But he didn't expect that if the shadow energy was given to Xal'atath for use, the effect would be so good.

He has been living with the shadow energy day and night, and after all, he has an extraordinary understanding of the concrete energy of the origin of the void.It can be easily sensed that the tentacles simulated by Xal'atath have a very similar aura to the Heart of Y'Shaarj, almost possessing some of the charm of this ancient god.

In the hands of Xal'atath, this shadow energy can no longer be said to be driven like an arm, it is simply out of control, which greatly makes up for the gap in absolute strength between him and Archimonde.

Worthy of being the fifth ancient god.

"Stop talking and focus on holding him back."

"Okay." Xal'atath responded briefly, as if he knew that this battle was unusual and must be taken seriously.

So the demons and night elves who were fighting on the battlefield saw a rather strange scene.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the prophet is obviously far weaker than the extremely powerful demon, but he can always cast terrifying spells that make people frightened. He repeatedly summons mysterious and mysterious tentacles to bind him, making the latter tire of it. .

And when the latter launches a counterattack, its spells are always deflected by the black and white barrier cast by the prophet, just like a punch punched into cotton, and it always fails to achieve success.Considering their size, the fight between the two was like a rat playing with an elephant.

Only once did the terrifying demon named Archimonde suddenly disappear in the exploding fel flames. It seemed that he had used some kind of short-range teleportation spell to appear directly behind the prophet, and slapped him underground with one palm. .

After the prophet crawled out, his breath became much weaker.

Unable to help, Azshara had to leave the main warband and save as many of her troops as possible.

The battle between these two high-level beings spread over a large area. Many night elves and demons were either crushed to pieces by Archimonde who fell to the ground under the pull of his tentacles, or were deflected by his spells. Spread, death on the spot.

But Angmar couldn't help it.

Against Archimonde, he had to go all out and didn't care too much.If he is timid and fails to completely contain Archimonde, more people will die later.The only thing that can be done is to lead it as far as possible to the outside of the battlefield.

That's right, all he has to do is contain him, and he can only do this.

It was impossible for the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and the demigods from the Edori Pass not to come with support.But he also discovered that Archimonde blocked the surrounding space, making the large-scale group teleportation spell that the blue dragon clan had tried so well in earlier battles ineffective.

He had persisted for more than ten minutes. Calculating the time, even if Archimonde blocked the surrounding area of ​​[-] or [-] kilometers, support would be arriving soon.Archimonde is indeed very strong, stronger than the most powerful demigod Malorne, stronger than the Aspect Dragon, and may be able to defeat an existence of this level.But the guardian dragons and demigods also know this, and they will definitely go out in full force to ensure safety.Coupled with myself, even if we can't keep Archimonde without preparation and banish him back to the Twisting Nether, it won't be difficult to force him back.

Just as he was thinking this, Angmar was suddenly overjoyed, because an extremely majestic aura of life, even faintly stronger than that of ordinary demigods, appeared within his range of perception.

He followed the trail and saw a white deer at the end of the horizon.

The white deer was galloping in this direction, with flying dust rising in the sky behind it.Even from such a distance, you can see its appearance clearly, which shows how big this white deer is.

After a while, the ground began to tremble slightly, and quickly shifted toward violent shaking.After a while, the rumbling footsteps came over.

It's Malorne

The most powerful demigod, Malorne, was in the air above him, and this dark cloud was approaching at the same speed.

The clouds were actually countless birds of prey, and the leader was Eisena, the King of Birds.A closer look revealed that she was still holding two night elves in her claws. She was unable to fly at the fastest speed in Azeroth. It turned out to be because she had to take care of the fragile passengers.

Malorne ran too fast, like a white lightning, coming suddenly.Wherever he went, the light of the full moon followed him, as if he was favored by Elune.

Some night elves fighting on the hillside accidentally caught a glimpse of the arrival of this powerful reinforcement because of their good vision. They immediately cheered up and started fighting wildly.

Archimonde also noticed the arrival of these uninvited guests, and immediately showed an angry look.

Although he didn't take Malorne seriously, he could also clearly sense that there were some more powerful beings approaching from other directions. They must be the guardian dragons and the five-color dragon clan under their command.

This deputy of the legion was originally meant to cut off the coalition forces. He wanted to be the first to eliminate the main force of the night elves. From isolating the blue dragon clan's detection magic to sneaking in with tens of thousands of elite demons, he had prepared for a long time.However, Angmar delayed him for more than ten minutes until reinforcements arrived.

How could he not be angry?

Rumble

The earth shook more and more violently, as if a big earthquake had occurred.Compared to his running speed, Malorne was already very close to this place.

Archimonde tore off all the tentacles wrapped around his body and chanted demonic spells. The evil energy bursting out of his palms quickly turned from green to red, and gathered in front of him, aiming at Malorne.

He actually wanted to repeat his old tricks and once again weave a terrifying evil spell similar to the finger of death.

Angmar: No, it should be said that Xal'atath certainly wouldn't let him get what he wanted. He immediately sucked up all the shadow energy in Angmar's body and launched an attack.

The world suddenly went dark.

In the sky above the battlefield, a huge shadow appeared, like a mountain of flesh and blood descending from the sky.A dark aura from ancient times slowly spread, and both demons and night elves looked horrified, falling into indescribable fear.

This phantom resembles a black goat with only half its body, and its lower limbs are replaced by legs that are too slender to support the body.As if a terrifying combination of distortion and corruption, seven strange eyes looked at Archimonde at the same time.

Under the gaze of the phantom, Archimonde was momentarily absent-minded, and his spell was immediately interrupted.

If he hadn't gone through a lot of torture and his will had become as strong as a rock, Angmar might have fallen into trouble.How could he not know what this shadow is? Isn't this Y'Shaarj? yes

too terrifying

All this happened in just a few seconds. Malorne had already rushed into the battlefield, jumped up from a hill, lowered his head, supported the antlers on his head, and carried unparalleled huge power, clashing with Archimonde. Collide

Archimonde, who had just escaped from the trance, had only time to put his hands on his chest before he was knocked away from the distance.A long stream of rancid green blood spurted out from the almost transparent chest wound poked by the deer's antlers.

Starting from the point of impact, a circle of air waves visible to the naked eye spread suddenly, sweeping across the earth and overturning all living creatures on the battlefield.

boom

An earth-shaking crash followed soon after, and the demon near the impact point exploded from the inside out, as if it had been squeezed out by big hands.

Archimonde, who was knocked away, flew a long way, then stopped after hitting a big mountain, and suddenly disappeared into the crumbling sand and gravel and the diffuse dust and smoke.Looking at Malorne, it seemed that she could not withstand the huge reaction force caused by the impact. Her body was unstable, swayed a few times, and then fell to her knees heavily.

The sound of flapping wings came one after another, and Eisenna's birds of prey arrived and immediately joined the battlefield, either besieging the doomsday guards or swooping down to attack the demons on the ground.In the distant sky, figures of five-colored giant dragons have appeared. The huge figures of the three guardian dragons, Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, Green Dragon Queen Ysera, and Blue Dragon King Malygos, are particularly clearly visible.

Everyone knows that with the entry of these powerful beings, Archimonde can no longer destroy the main force of the night elves. This battle

It has been declared over.

Sure enough, Archimonde stood up and looked around for a week, holding the wound where blood was pouring out. He knew that when the opponent came in with reinforcements, he no longer had the advantage. He took a deep look at Angmar, did not struggle needlessly, and said Retreat order.

The demons who heard the roar immediately fought hard and forced the night elves back. Just as they came, they receded like a tide.

"It's all over"

At some point, Azshara, covered in blood, stood next to Angmar.

Looking at the messy battlefield, Angmar, who had already run out of gas, felt more tired than ever before, and his eyelids were trembling.He took a long breath, naturally gently held Azshara's delicate hand, and nodded.

"Yeah, it's over for now."

After the battle, the evacuation continued.Although the main force of the night elves, who had gone through a brutal battle, deserved some time to rest, no one could tell whether the Burning Legion would launch another raid.

Fortunately, the red dragon is here, so treating the wounded is not a problem.

After the space blockade was broken, the blue dragon clan dispatched almost all adult dragons. On the premise of retaining a certain amount of mana to ensure combat effectiveness and respond to possible attacks at any time, the night elves soldiers were transferred to a large scale not far away through the portal. The transmission network node has also become very easy.

This battle gave the coalition a new understanding of Archimonde's strength.Archimonde is the strongest creature to ever walk on Azeroth, but he is not invincible.Angmar's restraint prevented him from effectively protecting himself, and he was injured by Malorne's powerful blow.

Perhaps everyone had indeed overestimated this deputy of the legion before.Even if the three guardian dragons present could not defeat him, they should be able to fight him to a draw.

Of course, there is a premise for all this.

That is, Archimonde did not hold back today and had already demonstrated his full strength.

More importantly, this battle also refreshed everyone's understanding of Angmar.He is too strong, strong enough to be able to fight Archimonde head-on without losing. At this point, not even the Aspect Dragon can compare with him.

And

His power of shadow also surprised everyone.Angmar had not told in detail about the origin of the Heart of Y'Shaarj in his body before. Several dragon guardians only knew about it, but did not know the details.

This time, I felt a little uneasy when I learned that this shadow energy was so powerful, even powerful enough to activate Y'Shaarj, who had been dead for countless years.

They didn't doubt Angmar, but after his mystery was lifted, they discovered that he had endured too much and were very worried about his physical condition.After all, everyone knows that anyone who has anything to do with the shadows will always endure unimaginable torture and destruction.It may not be as powerful as the evil energy that I have just experienced recently, but it is much weirder.Just like Neltharion.He was as solid as a rock, and he might not be affected by evil energy, but he was eventually corrupted by the shadow and went completely crazy.

They are afraid of Angmar too

Following in Neltharion's footsteps.
