Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Elements have always been synonymous with mysticism.

Even in the era of the Elven Empire, where magic civilization was highly developed, the arcane masters under Queen Azshara did not fully understand the mysteries possessed by the elements.

In various magic experiments, they have shown many characteristics that are completely different from stable arcane magic.

Elementals can be weak, but under certain strange circumstances, they can display far more destructive power than their strength allows. Elements can be used to wage war, heal, and even serve as mediums to predict the future.

They show more and almost unlimited possibilities than arcane magic, but it is precisely because of their elusive nature that the power of the elements is difficult to be utilized by spellcasters.

Probably because the elements were born in the chaos at the beginning of creation, they were changing all the time and were far less stable than arcana, so they were eventually abandoned by the elven spellcasters.

The uncertainty of the elements is vividly reflected in the elemental monarch Al'Akir. The weak form of the Wind Rider and the strong form of Al'Akir are completely two creatures.

This has been confirmed by Neptulon, who was born at the same time as Al'Akir.

Just look at the battle in front of you!

Even though Black lent the Tidestone to Sunderland before the war, at the beginning of the war, the confident Wind Prince was still hammered by his terrifying "father" on the sacred platform of the Wind God's Throne.

The Wind Rider has all-round advantages in terms of strength, speed and combat experience. If it weren't for the reinforcement brought by the Tide Stone, Sunderland might not even be able to catch the Wind Rider's ten moves and would be entangled by the wind and thunder. Killed with the holy blade of war sword.

But that doesn't mean Sunderland are weak.

It’s just that the opponent is too strong.

The Wind Rider, who has been blessed by the power of the Sky Wall for millions of years, is not afraid of any elemental monarch in his home court, and even Ragnaros has to return with hatred when he comes here.

The wind rider who roars like a storm can raise his hand to summon the thunderstorm sweeping across the sky, turning it into an angry long whip and whipping his son's body. Every attack it makes is like lightning bursting, with infinite power, and every dodge They are all like a cunning breeze, with no rules at all.

It's like a perfect combination of warrior, mage and assassin.

On the other hand, Sunderland, this prince was known for his bravery during the Battle of the Lord. His attack method is quite simple, which is to wear a thunder suit and carry a holy blade, calling the storm to come forward for close combat.

Very powerful.

But when facing the "Old Silver Coin", this kind of play is somewhat stupid, and in the sky wall that is still controlled by the Wind Rider, Sunderland is trapped by the rules of the elements, and it is difficult to even summon a storm.

After the return of the Wind Rider, the storms and lightning of the elemental realm no longer seem to obey Sunderland's will.

That is the king’s authority!

And it's not yet.

After another attack was blocked, and after being easily blocked by his old father and almost having his neck cut open by the attacking lightning blade, Sunderland had fully realized the most important core strength of this battle.

The Wind Prince retreats to the edge of the platform with a flash of thunder.

It took out the Tide Stone lent to it by Blake from its body as soft as cotton candy, but instead of praying for power from the Titan artifact, it threw it out and let the artifact hover above the throne of the Wind God.

As the Tide Stone was activated, a halo entwined by storm and thunder was activated above the throne of the Wind God, and soon turned into an invisible air barrier, temporarily isolating the place of decisive battle from the wall of the sky.

As a Titan artifact, the Tide Stone that dominates the sky and sea can certainly do this. If Blake, a recognized user, carries out the excommunication, he can even expel the Wind Rider from the Sky Wall in a short time.

Of course, that would definitely consume the pirates' terrible energy.

But now this barrier to isolate the power of the wind was enough. The next moment, the wind rider let out an angry roar.

Al'Akir felt that his connection with the Sky Wall territory had been temporarily severed. It could no longer strengthen itself and restrain its rebellious son through its power of the wind god.

The wind rider's momentum weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within the scope shrouded by the power of the Tide Stone, the controlled power of the storm is temporarily given freedom. These powers from the world body can freely choose who they want to help.

Judging from the current situation, the essences of the wind are obviously not very willing to continue to "help the evildoers".

Faced with the call of the Wind Rider, the Wind Essences reacted rather slowly. It was obvious that although they did not dare to openly contradict the Wind Rider, they chose to "fish" in this life-and-death battle openly.

Get up!

Until the next Storm Lord is born.

This is embarrassing.

"clever!"

The Tidehunter who was watching the battle applauded and said:

"As an elemental creature, Sunderland could not obtain more power blessings from the Tidestone, a sacred object of order. It could not become stronger so it decisively used this sacred object to weaken the Wind Rider.

In this way, although Sunderland can no longer get the help of the Tidestone, it no longer has no chance of winning against Al'Akir, who has been stripped of the authority of the wind.

This Prince Feng's brain is very useful.

It was like a water element wearing a wind element. I began to appreciate it. "

“Hey, do you high-minded, racist big shots all like to praise others in this awkward way?

It always makes people feel very uncomfortable. "

Blake was lying on the soft clouds, drinking heavily while listening to the whispers of the wind elements around the throne of the Wind God. He whispered:

"Sunderland has also noticed the attitude of its subjects. It is obvious that the wind element does not like a king who relies on Titan relics to win. They still stubbornly believe that the Titan guardian is their enemy.

Now that Sunderland has voluntarily given up the strengthening of the power of order, it can be regarded as indicating its position and attitude.

This makes the air elementals happy.

They finally felt that Sunderland was one of their own. As for Al'Akir being weakened, well, who cares how a tyrannical mad king is treated?

Gee, our Wind Rider's popularity is really bad, even its subjects hate it so much. "

"Yes, it is simply a negative example for all rulers."

Tide Hunter nodded in agreement and said:

"Al'Akir's wind-like thoughts can be stable even for a moment, which is enough for it to make the right choice when necessary. It is the most cunning among us and was once the best strategist of the Dark Empire.

During the War of Overlord, the ancient gods used special methods to try to stabilize the Wind Rider.

During that time, Al'Akir commanded the elemental army to attack everywhere. It won easily on all fronts, playing with the legions of the Titan Guardians at its fingertips, killing them all.

Unfortunately, the Titan Guardians quickly discovered the problem.

Raiden personally led the elite warriors to conduct a highly successful raid on Al'Akir on the top of the mountain.

They dispelled the magic cast on the Wind Rider by the Old Gods, turning Al'Akir back to his uncertain self, and then we ushered in a shameful failure.

it's a pity.

The Windrider was supposed to be the strongest among us, but he succumbed to his overly sensitive nature and became the weakest.

See, Al'Akir becomes unstable every time the pressure gets too much.

This makes it brave but not durable at all. This is a fatal flaw for a warrior. "

The Tide Hunter pointed at the battlefield of the Wind God's Throne. Blake looked down. After the Tide Stone isolated the power of wind from the Sky Wall, the weakened Wind Rider clearly felt the pressure. Facing Sang, who was attacking with the same calmness as before. Delan and Al'Akir still have great advantages.

But its attacks became obviously more impatient.

It was like being scorched by a ball of flames. While becoming more dangerous due to excessive attacks, it also exposed its own weaknesses.

According to the Tidehunters, Al'Akir the Windrider's only enemy is himself.

Unfortunately, it seems that this problem has never been discovered.

But Sunderland found out!

The Wind Chaser realized that its father's mentality was changing, and it knew that this was its only hope of victory when facing its powerful father.

So, amidst the strong boos from a group of onlookers, Sunderland stopped attacking uncharacteristically and chose a defensive style of play.

This has nothing to do with wind!

Hell, the style of the wind element should be to attack constantly, always looking for weak spots, until a deadly storm blows and razing the opponent's fortress to the ground.

Hey, are you a wind elemental prince, or the illegitimate son of the stone mother and some wanton wind elemental?

Since you are so stable, why don't you go and join the group of earth elements who can only defend and have been defending?

"Hehehe, I like this calm boy.

Compared to Al'Akir, who is so crazy that people cannot accept it, Sunderland may become the first wind god in history who can be called "stable". "

In the clouds high above the throne of the Wind God, Stone Mother Therazane, observing the battle of the Wind God through the eyes of her pet Gemstone Dragon Queen Oynax, at this moment expressed her admiration in her Gemstone Palace. A deep laugh.

This laughter attracted Stone Mother's two once-rebellious but now very well-behaved daughters. They also came and crowded with their mother, watching the battle for hegemony of the elemental monarchs as if they were eating melons and watching a show.

As for Stone Mother’s son-in-law Zalta

That guy went back to Moonlight Grove to visit relatives, and it will probably take some time before he can come back.

Of course, the Prince of Sunderland, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, had no time to care about the reactions of the surrounding spectators. He used his constant defensive posture to block the constant sharp attacks from his father with great difficulty.

Every time a determined attack is blocked, the Wind Rider's mood becomes worse, and the long-drawn out unwinnable battle causes Al'Akir's form to begin to change.

Maybe it's because of anxiety.

Perhaps it was because he was starting to lose interest in this long and boring battle.

In short, under the surprised and incomprehensible gazes of Blake and Tide Hunter, Wind Rider actually took the initiative to retreat from the strongest "Psycho Knife" posture to its normal form.

The lightning wrapped around him was not as bright as before, and his attacking posture became more perfunctory.

This is really a man like the wind

No one can guess what the wind rider is thinking.

It probably couldn't even control the changing thoughts in its mind.

"It's over."

Blake grinned happily and said:

"Fortunately, this happened so quickly that I didn't place a bet on who would win in advance. Otherwise, given my personality, although I have great confidence in Sunderland, I would definitely bet a large sum of money on Wind Rider. On the body.

Look at it, it actually started to lose its will to fight in this fatal battle just because it couldn't break through Nizi's defense.

Are all elemental creatures like you so free and free to do whatever you want? "

"It does not represent all elemental creatures."

Neptulon was also in a good mood. He was happy to see his long-time enemy Al'Akir die today. Tidehunter was even in the mood to complain about his compatriots.

it says:

"Although most elemental creatures are indeed the same thing as Al'Akir, you can never expect them to be interested in anything for a long time.

This is especially true for the free-spirited wind element, each of which is hot for three minutes before something else draws attention to it.

Their concentration is not even as good as that of newborn murloc babies.

The most patient earth elements often choose to sleep where they are when they still see no results after waiting for a long time, while the violent fire elements will burn to death anyone who makes them angry.

Those bastards are vindictive.

Our water element is the best and gentlest.

We only drag into the water those things that require long-term patience.

If they don't drown, then they can survive and we won't bother them again.

Unless they mess with us again. "

"Yes, just from what you said, I feel that the water elements are really 'peaceful'."

Blake complained in a long voice.

Just as these two guys were sharing each other's profound understanding of the elements, the battle on the throne of the Wind God finally came to an end.

Al'Akir, which had been unable to attack for a long time and began to lose its fighting spirit, knew that something was wrong with its situation, but it could not control its mind.

Just like in the past millions of years, it was so immersed in the release of its nature that it could not quickly switch back to its state at this critical moment.

Sunderland keenly seized the fleeting opportunity.

The calm and patient Prince of Wind immediately launched a sharp counterattack. It roared and waved the elemental holy blade, deflected the wind and thunder holy sword from its father with one sword, and rushed towards the wind rider who was larger and more majestic than it in the thunder.

"Strong wind! Listen to my orders!"

The lightning was jumping and cheering, and the strong wind was blowing at this moment, and the entire sky wall was as quiet as death.

Only Wind Chaser Sunderland shouted the call of the wind that only Al'Akir could command, allowing the wind essence of the entire sky wall to be used against it. The Wind Chaser Holy Sword in its hand was like a large tuning fork. The powerful power pierced Al'Akir's storm shield in the next moment, and then continued forward, piercing its elemental core.

The sound of the elemental core shattering echoed in the sky, but the deathly silence continued.

Until the arrogant Wind Rider exploded his body amidst the roar of thunder, releasing countless wind essences into the clouds of the sky wall.

Until the Wind Rider took out the Holy Storm Blade, spinning and piercing the platform of the Wind God's Throne, breaking the throne into pieces. ,

It wasn't until the elemental blade that had been with Al'Akir for a long life screamed that it collapsed, and a thunderous roar sounded in the Holy Land of Wind, which had been weakened for millions of years.

The Wind Rider is dead!

The Mad King is dead!

A new era of Sky Wall has arrived!

"Win, win!"

Compared to the sincere cheers of the wind elementals, the old troll Gaboa on the bow of the Death was so happy that he almost went crazy at that moment. He hugged his first and second mates regardless of their status, and burst into tears. cheered in troll dialect:

"I will never be reduced to the lowest class again! I finally won the bet! No one can underestimate me anymore! Do you see it? Zemran!

see it?

My crazy captain!

I use facts to prove that I am better than you! I have opened the door to power at the top of the world, and the entire sea and sky of Azeroth will be open to me.

I won.

I will be a big shot in the future too!

Woohoo, finally I don’t have to lick someone’s shoes in order to get some leftovers. My good days as a Gaboya are still to come, hahahaha. "
