Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Does it make any difference?"

In the alley under the night of Dalaran, the mage with a kitten on his shoulder watched the pirates preparing to roll the dice, and said with great interest:

"Are you one of those idiots who calls random things luck?"

"You talk very venomously, my friend. I guess you are not very popular in Dalaran."

The pirate blew on the dice in his hand, made a throwing motion, and said:

"Since you are so curious, I will explain it to you.

If the points are not satisfactory, I will make up a lie to deceive you. After all, this is your territory, and it will not end well if it causes too much trouble. "

"What if the points are as you wish?"

As soon as the mage spoke, he saw Black throwing the dice into the air. A slight fluorescent light flashed on the dice, and it fell steadily into Black's hands.

The pirate rolled the dice without looking at the points. Several lines of words flashed across the character card:

Spin the Bone Dice of Fate to receive Bwonsamdi's Embrace.

Bwonsamdi spurns you and makes an obscene gesture to you.

Bwonsamdi gives you more power.

Spin the Fate Bone Dice and gain the dexterity of Garni.

Garni laughed at you and hoped that you would survive and bring more sparkle to it.

Ghani gives you more power.

Spin the Bone Dice of Destiny and receive Akunda's new life.

Akunda's rest was interrupted by you, and he found you a bit annoying, but he had a good impression of you.

Akunda gives you more power!

Spin the Fate Bone Dice to gain Cyric's Invisibility.

Cyric has heard your story, Cyric is thinking about it.

Sirik gives you a little bit of power.

"ha"

Four consecutive lights of different colors flashed across the pirate's body.

He stared at the state of Bwonsamdi's Embrace + Garni's Swiftness + Akunda's Rebirth + Sirik's Stealth. The four BUFFs were added to it, making Black feel like he could kill a tauren with one punch.

He winked at the mage in front of him and said:

"Looks like I'm lucky. Turn around and run away, Kitten Man. The big bad guy is coming to beat you up."

"Whoosh"

In response to him, Kel'Thuzad tapped his staff and detonated an arcane explosion at his position. The purple stream of light exploded in place like a thousand feathers.

Make visible cracks on the floor and walls on both sides.

Although this magic is the basic magic of the arcane mage, it can be used silently like Kel'Thuzad and can choose the position at will, which shows that this mage in front of him is a tough one.

The problem is, Black is not easy to deal with either.

The second before the arcane blast took effect, the pirate turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared into the night. He entered stealth without any fuss, started the dance of shadow, and rushed behind Kel'Thuzad with a shadow step.

The flaming sword in his left hand burned out a meter-long blade, and the Devil's Strike in his right hand was held back, and he hit the mage on the back of the head with a precise and sharp strike.

His stealth has already reached the master level, moistening things silently, and coupled with the hidden blessing of Night Lord Sirik, his stealth temporarily breaks through to the legendary level.

A first blow hit the mage hard on the back of the head.

Although blocked by the ice shield.

But both of Blake's weapons had a magic-breaking effect, and the additional shadow damage from the Shadow Master was attached. The shield was easily broken open, and the dark dagger grazed the mage's neck and stabbed it down.

"Whoosh"

The flash technique lit up, and the rapid teleportation within a short distance made the fatal blow hit the air.

A spellcaster who can reach the level of a high-level mage, dare not say anything about other magic, but has definitely mastered the life-saving flash technique.

But Kel'Thuzad broke out in a cold sweat as he escaped. There was a scar on his neck that was still bleeding. It was not long, only as long as a fingertip, but it still represented the danger of the situation just now.

He threw the awakened kitten behind his neck, held the staff tightly with both hands, and quickly cast a stealth-detecting magic on himself, which instantly magnified his senses several times.

But it's of no use.

There was still no trace of the assassin in the shadows around him, and except for the meowing of the kitten, there was no sound at all.

The assassin just launched an assassination attempt, but it did not break the shadow.

He was still hiding in the darkness, like a cold-blooded killer, observing his every move, ready to launch another fatal attack at any time.

"A little presumptuous."

The mage looked around and thought:

"This should be at least a high-level assassin. No, I didn't feel any fluctuations in the shadow at all. This should be a master assassin.

It would be irrational to rashly start a war with such an opponent without being fully prepared. But when did such a dangerous person come to Dalaran?

Do all the mages who specialize in combat care about it? "

Black was hiding in the shadows. He was squatting quietly on the window sill at the edge of the alley, like an owl squatting there, looking down at the mage in the alley.

"The current Kel'Thuzad is indeed still immature. He was born in Banko and is very strict when casting spells. He should still be in the stage of studying magic and is far from mature.

I guess I haven’t started studying psychic magic either, that’s too bad.

Well, that can be seen from Mr. Bigglesworth as well.

She is still a little kitten now and has not grown up yet. "

A malicious smile appeared on the pirate's face.

He thought:

"I have to seize the opportunity to bully you quickly. When you study psychic skills and become a big boss, you won't be so easy to bully."

With this thought in mind, the pirate stood up straight, like a sea harrier hunting for prey, spread out his arms, and in the floating shadows, he dived towards the alert Kel'Thuzad below with a leap of faith.

Garona's teachings came to mind.

Death falls from the sky. The first stage.

The shadows gather and entwine, concentrating the attack power on one point to hit the Arrancar!

"Snapped"

The beating flaming sword hit the ice shield maintained by Kel'Thuzad. The collision of flames and frost caused dancing sparks in the dark alley.

"Got you!"

The mage raised his head, and while maintaining the ice shield, the light of arcane magic lit up on his staff, and the arcane barrage that was ready to be fired was like a heavy cannon about to be discharged.

The concentration of its magic power caused a terrifying buzzing sound in the surrounding area.

"No, I caught you, Kitten Man."

The pirate's joking voice sounded, and he took the initiative to appear from the shadows.

Death falls from the sky. The second stage.

Peel off the shadow suit, turn all the shadows you can control into blade-like shadow blades to wrap around, and use the most lethal attacks to defeat the enemy's defenses from top to bottom.

"Buzz"

Under the mage's wide-eyed gaze, hundreds of shadow blades composed of fluttering shadows, like a flock of crows howling for prey, poured out from the assassin's house.

It's like a swirling storm of blades that will "engulf" the mage who was pinned in place in an instant.

Those flying shadow blades turned into a scarlet shadow storm after intersecting for a moment, that was.

Blood!

It was a shadow blade stained red by the blood spurted out.

The figure of the pirate appeared behind the mage in the gathering black smoke, still maintaining the slashing action, but no blood flowed out from the dark blade of the Demon Strike.

Just flying shards of ice.

He glanced back, and the shadow storm dissipated like a flock of crows flying, leaving behind an ice sculpture cut to pieces by the shadow blade, covered with ice fragments, and exuding cold air.

When Kel'Thuzad sensed a fatal threat, he decisively activated the strongest defense of the mages and sealed himself in ice and snow.

But the robe on his body had been torn apart by the shadow storm.

There were wounds cut by sharp blades on his arms, chest, waist and abdomen.

"Hey, it doesn't have to be like this."

Blake glanced at the ice sculpture, and the flaming blade of the flaming sword in his hand went out with a whoosh. He squatted down and used three fingers to lift the trembling black and white kitten at his feet into the air.

In its soft and frightened cry, it said to Kel'Thuzad, who was frozen in place in front of him:

"I avoided your heart, neck, and head. I didn't intend to hurt you. Otherwise, I would have wiped your neck directly in the first surprise attack.

I guess you must have failed the magic combat class, or you haven't participated in many battles.

The basic skills are solid, the magic theory is at your fingertips, the spell-casting movements are elegant and precise, and he has powerful power, but he doesn't know how to use it.

Academic mages from Banco are all like this. "

"Let go of my cat!"

Amidst the sound of the ice breaking, Kel'Thuzad, who was exuding cold air all over his body, held his staff and roared loudly at Black, regardless of his injured body, like a tiger that had been touched by the taboo in his heart.

It looked like he was ready to rush over.

But he was afraid of hurting the little kitten held by the pirate, so he seemed a little timid.

"Hey, you can't do this. Don't you mages often say that dependence on material things is betrayal of the spirit?"

Blake frowned and glanced at the kitten in his hand. The black and white kitten's cute big eyes were also staring at him, with a look of fear on its little face.

"Well, look at you, how cute you are, you've turned cute."

The pirate chuckled and lifted the kitten in front of him, kissed it gently on the forehead, and then threw the kitten back towards the angry young mage.

The latter didn't even want his staff, letting it stand beside him.

He raised his hands and held the kitten in his arms, as if he were holding the most precious thing.

"You asked me two questions."

Black still maintained the attire of a Gilnean merchant. He picked up the top hat that was thrown aside, patted the dust on it, and put the hat on his head.

He said to Kel'Thuzad in front of him:

"As a master assassin, I forgive your offense, return your kitten, and I give you two answers. So, please go back, Mr. Kel'Thuzad.

There is also a small suggestion for you.

If you're going to initiate a war next time, it's best to make sure you can win in advance. In addition, Antonidas is really not a good teacher. Look what he has done to this little piece of your mind.

Find a new mentor while you still can. "

After saying that, he nodded politely to the embarrassed mage in front of him, took a step back with his suitcase, and let the shadow wrap him up, disappearing into the darkness of the alley.

But he didn't take a few steps.

When they walked around another alley, seven or eight blue magic eyes flew out from the arcane whirlpool in all directions, blocking the assassin in the alley.

Blake's face darkened.

The next moment, a swaying portal opened in front of him, and a figure walked out of the door. He waved his hand, and a faint blue arcane curtain lowered, blocking both ends of the alley.

Plus the arcane eyes that can detect stealth are roaming back and forth, and the water elemental summoning magic is ready to go.

This is the standard tactic used by experienced mages to deal with the threat of assassins.

What appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man.

His face was serious and calm, he held a gorgeous Archmage's staff, wore a blue robe, a violet coat of arms on his chest, and a sapphire headband.

As he stood in the middle of the alley, the magic around him immediately boiled.

"Damn it! I knew that the spellcasting madmen in your city are not friendly at all! If you hit the young ones, the old ones will come. Ms. Aegwynn is right.

Orthodox mages are the worst! "

Seeing the man in front of him appear, the pirate complained, waved his hand and took out the Ursalus war scythe from his bag.

This guy, at first glance, is not as easy to deal with as the immature Kel'Thuzad.

But the pirates are not afraid at all.

Maybe it can't be beaten.

But you can definitely escape.

Don’t be timid!

Just do it!
