Shadow Trails in Azeroth

A difficult night must have an end, just as the end of darkness must be light.

When the door of Onyxia's dragon lair slowly opened, Blake, who came out with a girl on his back, raised his head. When he saw the rising sun above his head, his painful face was completely numb.

What kind of bullshit love potion is this? Didn’t you promise that you would forget everything once you fall asleep?

Why do I remember it so clearly?

What a sinful man you are, Black Shaw!

The stinky pirate sighed for the twenty-third time, and was pushed upward by the deathly Onyxia "doll" behind him. Xal'atath was seriously injured and on the verge of death due to unknown reasons, and Sephiel was satisfied. Then he probably felt shameless and ran away.

Only the smelly pirate and this soulless body are left.

Fortunately, Xal'atath had prepared a lot for last night. The pirates found the bathtub in the dragon's lair and cleaned her up.

Hey, you bastards, you have to clean your doll after use!

The tired pirate whistled at the door of the dragon's lair, and yesterday's cheap hell horse was summoned again amid the burning flames.

It looked up and down at Blake with wide, burning eyes. The horse grinned, revealing its canine teeth, and put on an exaggerated and silly smile, as if it wanted to use this method to please its master.

But the pirate's eyes that wanted to kill people could not be hidden. The hell-licking horse was frightened and immediately returned to the calm posture that a mount should have.

"Take her back."

Black put Onyxia, who was sleeping behind him, on the saddle, and kicked the hell horse's front legs.

The latter neighed, not daring to tease the stinky pirate who was in such a bad state anymore. He turned around and ran away with the body.

Leaving the smelly pirate alone in this scorched valley probably gave the sage some time to think about life, or to prepare to calm down.

He looked back at Onyxia's dragon's nest, shook his head, waved his hand and threw out a ball of void energy, as if to vent his anger, constantly smashing various magic at the entrance of the dragon's nest.

A crack in the void was soon torn open, like a huge mouth of darkness opening, swallowing the dragon's nest door bit by bit.

Previously, I thought the alien monsters that might appear in the void rift would be troublesome, but the unhappy pirate was really looking forward to seeing some guy with no eyes jump out of the dark maw, and then get beaten up by him.

Facts have proved that he is not so lucky and it is impossible for his wishes to come true.

"Click, click, click"

The sound when the existing things in the world are swallowed up by the void is like a huge mouth chewing something hard. The door to the dragon's nest continues to collapse and collapse under the squeeze of the void force.

Soon, the dragon's nest embedded in the mountain was intercepted.

A large number of rocks collapsed, sealing the cavity inside tightly, and a low and loud sound echoed in the mountain. It was probably that the mountain supporting the cave inside also collapsed.

Amid the violent vibrations on the ground, the stinky pirate nodded with satisfaction.

This kind of black history cannot be discovered by others. "Destroying the corpses and eradicating traces" is the best way. As for the person involved, it was impossible for him to kill Sephiel, so even though it was awkward when he returned, he still had to talk about it.

Secrecy is a necessary virtue.

As for Xal'atath

Blake glanced at the divine power column, where he saw the void divine power curled up into a ball like a dead thing without any vitality, which clearly showed how bad the evil-minded Void Essence was at this time.

If she were a human being, her situation would be equivalent to being stabbed dozens of times, with all her bones broken, and her internal organs severely damaged.

It's hard to imagine that a conscious body could be injured like this.

Logically speaking, the force that injured her was fully capable of killing her, but it happened to give her a glimmer of life. This was not like a beheading, but more like an excommunication.

He wanted her to survive the pain and repent of the sins she had committed.

"Is it Lady Elune's work?"

Blake quickly thought of the most likely scenarios.

He rubbed his chin and walked out of the valley in an earthquake-like situation, while thinking about what Xalatath had done to make the moon god so angry.

Lady Elune must have known that Black had the essence of the void for a long time, but she had just ignored Xal'atath's existence before.

Just like the giants don't specifically target bugs, Elune just lets her exist.

But this time he actually used such a method on a bug, which was really unbelievable. At that time, the smelly pirate was in the stage where the love potion was taking effect, and he really knew nothing about the situation at that time.

So this potion is outrageous!

It can indeed make people forget some things, but it left Blake with the most embarrassing memories.

Looking at it this way, it seems that what happened last night has become an unsolved mystery, unless Xal'atath can recover, but judging from her situation, if there is no accident, the recovery period will probably last ten years, or even a hundred years. .

This is actually not a bad thing.

Without Xal'atath's interference, Black wouldn't have to worry about bad things.

But here's the advantage of having all kinds of strange powers in the body. Even without the description of Xalatas, the person who experienced it personally, Blake could still find a "bystander" who was there last night.

The pirate found a random place outside the valley, took out some spellcasting materials, and created a reverse summoning demon circle. He stood in it and smoked his pipe.

When the tobacco burned out, the pirate snapped his fingers.

"Buzz"

The candles placed in the surrounding five-pointed star array were lit at the same time. In the anxious breath of evil energy, his inner demon Mephistros was forcibly projected out of the pirate's body.

The Dread Lord glanced at Black with his vicious eyes, then lowered his head, folded his wings, and said nothing.

Obviously an uncooperative attitude.

With the vicious and keen minds of the Nasrezim, it certainly knew what the pirates wanted to ask when they brought it out, but for this third lord who was already cunning and had followed the stinking pirates to "learn and investigate" the dark wisdom for so long. But it's getting more difficult.

It is Blake's inner demon and has long been bound in the pirate's soul. This means that it has lost its freedom, but it also means that Blake can no longer inflict torture on it.

But now, with the favor of fate, it has a secret that Blake is very concerned about, so it is naturally confident.

It is opposed by silence.

Waiting for the pirates to make terms.

Blake looked at the Dread Lord in front of him in a posture that didn't deserve a beating. He opened the skull flask and took a sip of wine. He said without interest:

"Your strength can't keep up with my advancement. I plan to give up on you at a suitable time and look for the inner demon again. You may be able to recommend a 'friend' of yours to me.

But the premise is that you have to tell me something that interests me. "

"I would be really stupid if I believed you."

Mephistros sneered and waved his wings. The Dread Lord stretched out his finger and slashed in the air. He said in a cold tone:

"You need to establish a written record!

You still need to find someone to witness the oath. I won’t make it difficult for you. Just let your first mate be the witness. Naturally, I dare not curse the great and vicious Lord Blackshaw for disaster.

But if you break the contract, I will curse Lord Sephiel to fall into the void forever! "

"Oh, I finally understand why everyone hates villains who succeed."

Blake rubbed his sore forehead and said:

"Your face now really makes me want to send you to see Lord Sargeras with a knife. You should know that even if you get freedom and return to the Twisting Nether, I still have many ways to kill you, right?

Mephistros, you have to think about your future.

Freedom is not the end, it is just the beginning of a new life.

As for the Dread Lord’s so-called ‘immortality’, I think it’s even more of a joke.

Do you know what I mean? "

"In short, you must make a written agreement! Give me my freedom, and also agree that you and your subordinates will not attack me again."

Mephistros thought about it and felt that the pirate's "suggestion" was sincere, so he omitted the witness link and just added an extra clause to the contract.

Blake nodded, took out the contract on the spot, wrote it in pure devil language, and pressed his fingerprint at the end. The projection of the Dread Lord read the contract repeatedly and made sure that there were no fraudulent terms or hidden loopholes before it nodded. .

The third lord glanced at the daylight in the sky with some fear. It lowered its voice and told everything about what happened to Xal'atath last night and the agreement it had made with Xal'atath before.

Without missing anything, he sold his "teammates" so frankly and happily.

When Mephistros said that Xal'atath was going to replace the part of Maiev in his memory, the stinky pirate shook his head helplessly.

How come this Void Essence, who is usually as shrewd as a ghost, becomes so confused when it comes to Maiev? Why did he get into trouble with Maiev as if he was possessed?

If she hadn't done anything wrong last night, no harm would have been done to her. And in front of Elune, tampering with the memories related to the Chosen People of the Moon is no longer a provocation.

This is tantamount to bullying someone else’s daughter in front of her mother

This is looking for death.

"Why did she do this?"

After hearing all of Xalatath's preparations and plans, Black sighed. After hearing the stinky pirate's sigh, the projection of the Dread Lord opposite him flapped its wings and let out a series of loud laughs.

it says:

"In my opinion, this couldn't be simpler. Mr. Pirate, you have unknowingly accomplished something that few people in the entire galaxy have accomplished.

You have conquered a terrifying Void Essence.

Not only those intense intimacy, but also the occupation of all her territory on the spiritual level, she was defeated by your strategy!

If you still don't understand, I'll make it clearer.

That cunning and vicious Void Essence is in love with you."

"Shut up! Have you been locked up for a long time and your brain is not working properly? What are you talking about?"

Blake retorted:

"Are you going to tell me that a dark evil force like Xalatath, who was born in the void, has such a thing as emotion? It is difficult to find anything as dark and depraved as her in this world.

If you are joking, then the joke is not funny. "

"Yes, I admit that Xal'atath's composition is so dark and evil that it is difficult to find the same existence in the entire stars, but it is so dark and completely depraved, is there any conflict with having feelings for her?

Don’t villains who want to destroy the world deserve love? "

Mephistros played with his sharp claws and raked the file-like nails back and forth in place, making a sound of steel clashing.

It said in a playful tone:

"I am a devil, my dear pirate.

I have seen the destruction of countless worlds and witnessed countless poignant tragedies.

A creature that is extremely evil will sometimes die generously for the obsession in its heart.

A creature that is so sacred that it was born in the light can still fall into the darkness due to the temptation of desire. Isn't there such a thing? Who says void creatures have no emotions?

Xal'atath is just the essence of the void, not an ancient god infused with a mission of destruction.

She can be an untrustworthy bitch, but she can also be a lonely lady with deep feelings, and as a void creature, her exaggerated and twisted desire for exclusivity makes her unable to tolerate the person she likes being lost to another person. Possession.

In fact, after you and Ms. Maiev completed that wild and beautiful mating, Xal'atath has been in a state of intermittent madness and on the verge of madness.

She was at a loss, and all evil and wisdom had to stand aside in the face of such exaggerated jealousy, so she set up such a conspiracy that was tantamount to suicide.

Haven't you discovered this?

Alas, I know that the one who loves deeply is like a moth to the flame, but the one who is loved is always confident.

What a happy person, to be favored by the void to such an extent that a void essence dares to challenge the moon god to get you completely.

Tsk tsk, to be honest, even a heartless and emotionless demon like me was moved by this.

If you meet such a dark and evil good girl again in the future, just marry her. With just a gentle whisper from you, she can destroy the world for you. Where can you find such a good girl?

This is my last sincere advice to you, my ‘master’. "

"Shut up."

The stinky pirate glared at the Dread Lord who was flying after eating the melon. He didn't want to continue discussing this matter with a damn devil who knew people's hearts, so he changed the subject and said:

"Don't you want to be free? Have you chosen your 'successor'?"

"Oh, there are very few Dreadlords that meet your requirements, unless you can find the first lord Tichondrius, whose strength far exceeds yours. After you capture it, it should be able to give you what you want. Spellcasting enhancement."

The third lord shrugged, and a malicious smile appeared on his twisted and pale face.

it says:

"But if you are no longer limited to Nathrezim, then you have many options in the Burning Legion. As we all know, our Dread Lords are not a very good fighting race.

Otherwise, consider Maronoth the Destroyer? Seal an abyss lord and beware of the inner demon, and you can completely realize the warrior dream hidden in your heart. "

"no."

The pirate waved his hand and said:

"The Evil Eye chose the Lord of the Abyss to beware of the inner demon, which is enough to make him regret it to this day. That kind of reckless and stupid demon is not suitable for spellcasters at all. Maybe the Eredar people can consider it.

What do you recommend? "

"Polluter? Fraudster?"

Mephistros mocked:

“Think no more, my greedy master!

You are no match for them now. Be realistic and settle for the next best thing. I think the several eredar princes under the Deceiver are very suitable for your requirements.

Each of them has a very powerful spellcasting level, but considering your stubborn and perverted vision, maybe you can challenge a higher difficulty. "

The third lord scratched his chin with his claws, rolled his eyes, and suggested in a weird tone:

"How about trying the Twin Demons? The Deceiver's protégés, the Eredar Twins are the famous 'Legion Twins'. They have talents as powerful as their own beauty.

If you can capture them, you will instantly have the power of Shadow and Flame to strengthen your spellcasting!

The best thing is, I happened to know the whereabouts of those two cold ladies before I met my fate.

Today is really a lucky day for my powerful master. All it takes is a summoning ceremony. I think we shouldn’t wait any longer. I really long for freedom and escape from the torment of dark wisdom.

Or, now? "

"You have a good idea."

Blake picked up his pipe, blew out a smoke ring, and said:

"I'm very tired, let's talk about it later."

"Oh, it turns out you are very tired."

Mephistros made a strange, obscene laugh, and laughed and said:

"I understand, I understand so well!

Your first mate looked at Wen Wen quietly, but he didn't expect that the madman would be more difficult to deal with than Xalatath's lunatic. It was really hard on you last night. I almost thought she was going to tear you apart in the middle. bite and eat

Frankly speaking, I was scared. Look at my wings. They are still shaking. "

"Shut up, you!"
