Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Kraken is a legendary creature.

They are the predators at the top of the food chain among the countless creatures that inhabit the sea.

Outside of Northrend, sea monsters always appear in various bizarre stories related to the sea.

Although the writers of the stories tried their best to exaggerate the power, danger and power of the sea monsters in the North Sea, after seeing the sea monsters with your own eyes, you will know that the vivid descriptions in those stories are far from enough to describe the real terror of the sea monsters. .

These guys can easily create whirlpools on the sea surface, and one of their angry collisions is enough to turn a merchant ship into a pile of driftwood. They also have the same breath ability as dragons.

Most are Riptide Breath.

There are also some older sea monsters who have mastered the power of magic and can breathe out the same ice breath as the blue dragon.

Sea monsters live for a long time, and their lifespan has always been a mystery in the eyes of Azeroth biologists. As long as these guys don't die, their bodies will continue to grow.

However, the growth rate of sea monsters is not fast, and generally, they only appear in the North Sea or deep sea abyss, which results in their scarcity.

This is also a common characteristic of all legendary creatures.

However, saying they are legendary creatures actually refers to their race, not their specific strength. All the legendary creatures in Azeroth cannot be explained by common sense.

Just like the adult sea monster in front of Blake.

It can be wounded by cannonballs, and can be beaten by the flames of hellfire. If Windrunner's mother were here, it would take her a while to kill this sea monster.

Even if they deal with it properly, a group of mortals can't defeat a sea monster.

But as long as it appears in the port of Stormwind City or Lordaeron, it only takes a moment, and it can cause a horrific disaster.

In the face of such legendary creatures, it is completely meaningless to explore whether their power reaches the level of legends or demigods.

Their terror lies in their crushing and intimidation of ordinary life, rather than in the comparison of pure power.

To put it simply, these guys are "strategic-level" biological weapons.

It may also have something like dragon power or a fear halo, which makes ordinary life completely unable to resist in front of it.

"boom"

The golden trident, still stained by the icy mist, was thrown on the deck of the Nagfar by the panting Maris Demonic Scourge. This night elf demon hunter had just killed a Hades warrior.

He was extremely tired now and needed a rest.

The long-standing desire of the inner demon to fight was finally temporarily satisfied. After fighting with all his strength using the devil's incarnation, Maris' inner demon became docile.

But this is just an appearance.

As long as the demon hunter relaxes even a little bit, the inner demon will come back immediately.

"You three idiots! You are so shameless! Why don't you help our hero to rest quickly, and ask Dean Lanyue and the ship's doctor Natalie to come over and take a good look at the body of the evil disaster instructor who has made great contributions."

Black yelled at the deck, and the trio of warlocks who had just returned hurriedly stepped forward and helped the tired demon hunter up. Regardless of the latter's objections, they forcibly lifted him up and carried him to the cabin.

The pirate watched Marius being sent away, thinking about another thing.

This time Hao Xuan forced the demon hunter to transform, which was an unexpected surprise. Taking advantage of this opportunity when Maris was unable to resist, he quickly measured the flow of evil energy in his body.

So that he can collect some valuable experimental data for his own warlock version of demon transformation.

"Yeah, the magic on it is still vibrating."

The first parasaurus beside Blake grabbed the golden trident that Maris had thrown on the deck. This thing was the only "trophy" left behind by the Hades Warlord after his death.

As the pirates said before, it is exactly the weapon style of the Nagas.

The tip of the trident is shaped into a curved shape of waves. On the surface of the weapon, there are carvings in the Salas language of the upper elf, and it is also decorated with shells and gems.

This is basically not a melee weapon.

It was just made that way on purpose.

When Sephiel came into contact with the trident, the parasaurus immediately felt the boiling beating of the magic power on it, as if something was trying to break the trident and escape.

Blake took the cold trident, and the entry was immediately given on the character card:

Azshara's Kraken Scepter Leviros

Epic quality [Arcane Item]

Item Description:

This is a magic scepter made by the spellcasters of the Naga Empire for the supreme Queen Azshara, specifically for controlling sea monsters. There are many similar scepters like this.

Each one will bind the consciousness to a specific sea monster, allowing these legendary creatures in the deep sea to obey the control of the Nagas.

The one in your hand comes from an accident five hundred years ago.

The sea monster named "Levilos" accidentally ate the Queen's favorite pet during one of the Queen's deep-sea cruises, and was abandoned by Queen Azshara under the glacier of Northrend. Guarded by the Queen's loyal subordinates.

But after a despicable robbery, it fell into the hands of Hades General Wagner.

Notice!

Controlling sea monsters requires talent, or extremely high willpower and intelligence to withstand the will of the legendary creatures.

In order to achieve absolute control over sea monsters, Naga casters attached a special magic to the scepter, which allows the user to easily kill sea monsters that do not comply with discipline.

But once the sea monster dies, the scepter loses its meaning.

Therefore, please use it properly.

"Cool!"

Blake whistled, walked to the side of the Nagfar, raised the trident in his hand, and injected magic power into it. He immediately felt the will of the beast colliding with his mind.

However, this sea monster had been injured just now, and had fled back to the deep sea after the death of Hades War General Wagner. It was in a dazed and panic state, and its will to resist was not strong.

"come over!"

The pirates gave it orders.

The latter immediately responded with a roaring roar.

But despite being very unhappy, under the suppression of Blake's continuous injection of magic power, the huge creature eventually resurfaced from the deep sea obediently.

This time, it did not choose to rush out of the sea, nor did it create whirlpool waves. Instead, it quietly floated up, like a terrifying big fish swimming in the abyss.

The huge figure is like an underwater glacier, and finally half of its head is exposed on the sea.

But even this small half of its head was already one-third as big as the Nagfar. It was hiding in the water and staring at the pirates in front of it with its adult-sized yellow eyes.

In front of it, Blake was like a whale shark and a shrimp.

People with a phobia of giant objects will definitely be scared to death by this thing.

However, the pirate was more courageous than the whale shark. He was not afraid at all. The Eye of Kilrogg on his shoulder turned over and he carefully observed the sea monster in front of him.

This guy's mouth is big enough to easily swallow a ship. The teeth and mouth are already bone-like. It opens and closes like a giant mouth of the abyss.

Black had no doubt that an ordinary merchant ship would disintegrate if this guy bit it casually.

And this guy has an interesting face.

Although it has the appearance of a standard deep-sea creature, several large tentacles similar to those of an octopus can be seen around the large, uneven head made of hard bone armor, scales and cuticles.

In addition, when it was floating quietly, Blake discovered that under the sea monster's two large fins that were like wings and had black claws, in the armpits, there was a pair of smaller appendages. limb.

Also fin-shaped.

It can help it stabilize its body shape in the water and increase its swimming speed.

Blake blinked at the discovery.

He immediately asked:

"My servant, is the appearance of the sea monster related to the void?"

"You should really change your stereotype of the void, my little master."

With a dissatisfied tone, Xalatas whispered in Blake's ear:

“Don’t just look at creatures with tentacles and appendages and think that they are creations of the void.

The North Sea sea monsters are the product of the evolution of Azeroth's natural species. As a price for gaining great strength and terrifying survivability, they have very low intelligence.

Even Naga can easily bully them.

In my opinion, such creatures are worthless and will be eliminated by cruel ecological evolution sooner or later. Only our void creations will not despise the power of wisdom so much.

Little master, do you need underwater war weapons?

Give up the sea monsters, they are edible and stupid, I can make you a more perfect weapon, as long as you can give up some incompetent subordinates to make "materials" for me. "

"I appreciate the kindness, but I think this sea monster is pretty good."

Blake laughed.

He threw a probe at the huge sea monster in front of him, and the feedback information made him raise his eyebrows happily:

Name: "Rebel" Liveros

Race: North Sea Kraken [Legendary Creature. Adult. Male]

Status: Bound slave. Consciousness bound. North Sea cold air. Fear aura. Slight injury

Strength: Level 60 Beast Elite/Level 10 Behemoth Lord

Notice:

The creature is in a bad mood and is at risk of losing control.

This creature is not tamable

The most surprising thing about this feedback to the pirates is that if "beast" can also be regarded as a profession, then in the description of the strength of this sea monster, the "behemoth lord" should refer to the legendary advancement of the beast profession. level.

In other words, the sea monster in front of me should be one with great potential.

Think about it, according to the description of the sea monster scepter, this guy collided with Queen Azshara, who was famous for her arrogance and cruelty, five hundred years ago. After offending the petty queen, he was not killed, but was only imprisoned. This proves that The Queen also saw its potential.

This is the "certification" from Azshara.

Black could doubt Azshara's taste, her mental condition, and her weird habits, but in terms of power, he absolutely trusted the Queen's judgment.

"So, this can be regarded as an unexpected treasure."

The pirate no longer paid attention to the complaints from Xal'atath in his ears, and raised the trident in his hand again. This action made the sea monster in front of him open his mouth.

The hatred in those yellow eyes was even more obvious.

If it weren't for the scepter controlling its will, I believe that this sea monster named Levilos would have "eaten" the Nagfar in front of him in one bite.

Of course, eating randomly will definitely cause stomach upset.

The ghost ship is covered in poisonous substances.

"Serve me."

Black relied on the sea monster scepter in his hand to communicate with the sea monster in front of him. He said:

"Five hundred years! Serve me for five hundred years, and I will set you free! Freedom, understand? What you desire most, if you don't obey, I will stab you to death with it!"

The pirate raised the trident in his hand in a threatening manner and made a piercing motion.

This frightened the sea monster so much that it waved its big tail and stepped back. This subconscious movement alone caused the entire seawater to roll and push the Nagfar to rock up and down.

Apparently, the sea monster knows that this toothpick-like thing to it can easily kill it.

"Ouch"

The roar like a giant whale echoed in the sea. The sea monster is too stupid. It may not understand the meaning of freedom, but it can completely understand the threats of pirates.

It can only sink in humiliation, and this retreat represents its attitude.

"Go eat, and live around this island from now on. The big glacier in the distance is perfect for you to make a nest for yourself. Go ahead, you big fool.

Waiting for my next call. "

Blake shouted to it:

"In addition, without my order, you are not allowed to attack ships in this area of ​​the sea, not any ship!"

"Gudu Gudu"

Huge bubbles of water surged on the surface of the sea, seeming to represent Liveros's response.

The sea monster was bloated and huge, but it was incredibly flexible in the water. It escaped into the deep sea, flicked its big tail, and disappeared into the vast seabed like a ghost.

"Quack gua gua"

The screams of the little murlocs sounded from behind the pirates. Benbolba rode his owl and flew over from the Rogue Harbor. It sat on the back of the owl and flew around Black several times.

Those cute big eyes stared at the trident in Blake's hand.

His eyes were filled with longing.

"You want this?"

Blake waved the sea monster scepter in his hand that seemed heavy but was actually light.

The little fish man nodded crazily, and his eyes showed desire.

"I can't give you such a good thing casually."

The pirate put his hands on his hips, held the trident scepter in his hand, and said to the little fish man:

"This is a strategic weapon, do you understand? If you want it, you must at least get me some treasure that satisfies me. It is worth exaggerating wealth like the gold mountain on Treasure Island!"

"Quack"

The little fish man showed a flattering and proud expression. While shouting, it took out something from its bag and handed it to Blake with both hands, like a tribute.

The latter's expression changed.

Because in his "eyes", the thing the little fish man took out was shining with an exaggerated orange light.

I didn't kill this little idiot in Dragonblight before, so it was indeed the right choice.

This guy's "treasure hunting talent" has taken effect again.

Although no ship was sent this time, Queen Hela is still as "generous" as Blake remembered, and will never disappoint those who have expectations for her.

In this regard, the pirates just want to shout at this moment, Queen Hela YYDS!
