Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The divine power extraction ritual developed by Zandalari Pirate King Zemlan in order to become a god was played out by Black. He now has three divine powers stored in the divine power column of his character card.

They are: Xalatath, Legacy of the Void, Nine Martial Gods, Death Allegiance, and the weakest Demon of Thousand Maws, Nightmare Whisper, if you include the weak divine power of Tyr that was previously given to Finna Golden Sword. , the pirates have already gathered half of the six major forces.

These are all preparations for his future mythical profession, Loa.

Although it's not clear yet how this Loa god will be promoted, it's definitely a good idea to make more preparations.

The next moment, in front of the character card, there was a ritual text that really made the pirates smile:

High-level divine power access, divine power identification: life, power path: wilderness demigod Ursoc, higher-level power path: Freya, the king of life.

The ranger profession has been obtained, the strength attributes are consistent, and the conversion is in progress.

Part of the life force blended smoothly into the pirate's body, and it was so comfortable that he couldn't help but let out a weird moan.

The remaining part was turned into the divine entry of [Ursok: Wrath of the Wilds] and was stored in the pirate's divine power column.

This wasn't the only power he drew from Ursoc.

There is a second way:

High-level divine power access, divine power identification: Shadow (Void), power path: Ursoc, the evil god of the void, more advanced power path: Yogg-Saron, the Demon of Thousand Maws

Obtained the career of Warden/Assassin/Warlock, the strength attributes are consistent, and the conversion is in progress.

Just like the divine power of life just now, part of the shadow poured into the pirate's body, and the remaining part merged into the divine entry of [Thousand-Throated Demon·Nightmare Whisper] that already existed in the divine power column.

But this time the infusion of shadow divinity also brought unexpected gains to Blake:

As you explore the shadows more deeply, they reveal deeper secrets to you.

The [Pirate] profession is upgraded to [Pirate·Elite].

After obtaining the [Elite] career template, you have obtained the shadow's license and have proven that you can control more of the power of the shadow.

Therefore, you can freely explore, learn or create more skills of the assassin profession outside of the pirate career system.

The shadows will truly be at your disposal, and harnessing this power only gives true shadow masters.

"Cool!"

Black couldn't help but whistle proudly. He turned to the stupid little fishman who stared at him and said;

"The 'Double Talent' is open. From today on, we are also elite monsters. Well, look at the strengthening of the power of life and the improvement of all attributes. Now I feel like I can kill a dragon with one punch!"

"Quack"

The little fish man congratulated obsequiously, then waved his paw and pointed to the side, where it had prepared another ceremony, and the worn-out Hand of Destiny scroll was placed in it.

Black laughed and jumped down from Ursoc's decaying body.

After the divinity of life and void was extracted, the most important power that made up Ursoc's fallen body has dissipated.

The body that was originally created by the fallen bears through evil sacrifices naturally entered the post-death cycle like the crumbling sand.

This smell is really unbearable.

He landed on the ground and activated the extraction ritual with ease, dripping his own blood into the worn scroll.

The same feeling as before came to my heart, and words jumped in front of my eyes:

High-level divine power access, divine power identification: arcane, power path: relics of lost gods, higher-level power path: forgotten gods

If you have not obtained the mythical profession, you cannot transform it.

Under Blake's gaze, this weak but real divine power was also included in his divine power column, and finally condensed into a new divine entry: [The Forgotten·Game of Destiny]

What surprised him was that the power possessed by this god Loa, who had been dead for who knows how long and whose name had even been forgotten, was actually arcane magic.

There must be some kind of elemental creature in front of it. Trolls are really not picky when it comes to belief and worship.

"Huh?"

After the ceremony ended, the pirate made a confused snort. The blood-stained Hand of Destiny scroll in front of him did not collapse due to the extraction of divine power.

Instead, it just became more worn out, but still intact.

Blake picked up the scroll, and the character card gave a new entry:

Worn Scroll of Hand of Fate

White Quality·Relics of Lost Gods

use:

Play a game of destiny.

Item Description:

Although most of the power has been lost, there is still a trace of divine power stubbornly remaining in the scroll, probably because the forgotten Loa is still eager to see the exciting game showdown.

This relic is weak, so start playing as soon as possible to please the fate.

Let it draw its strength from joy or death.

"Weird stuff."

The pirate commented.

He tossed the scroll in his hand and looked back towards the entrance of the valley.

The great knight Saidan Dathrohan, who was presiding over the "tree burning" work in Vordrassil, was just picked up by Little Star using magic teleportation.

The moment the high knight walked into Ursoc's Lair wearing a cloak, the early warning perception from the holy light made his expression change drastically.

Seeing groups of nightmare oozes rushing towards him, trying to pollute his mind and body, the knight took off the holy object from behind that he had brought specially to suppress the situation.

As the hot holy light was injected into it, the Silver Hand warhammer held by Dathrohan shone brightly.

He is like holding a big light bulb, swaying the hot purifying power around. As long as those twisted nightmare creations get close, they will be burned to ashes by the dazzling holy light.

But there are too many void creations here.

The ooze monsters under the ice are constantly gathering and have formed into large, ugly individuals. They are still devouring each other and growing.

If left unchecked, these ooze monsters will eventually become carriers of the power of the void and turn into quite terrifying things.

The great knight walked all the way inside, his expression under his helmet becoming more solemn.

Using the purifying holy light to clear the way, he finally arrived at the center of Ursoc's Lair. He saw the pirate and his little murloc standing there, as well as a rapidly decaying body of a fallen god piled in the center of the valley.

The dirty flesh and blood kept falling from Ursok's huge skeleton.

Every drop of blood will form a black nightmare ooze, and every piece of flesh will produce a disgusting thing like mental pollution. The pirates continue to throw throwing knives made by the shadow, stabbing the flesh to death.

The little murloc at his feet was holding a crossbow and shooting fallen blood clots like a shooting game.

"You have really accomplished the feat of 'killing gods'!"

Dathrohan was shocked by the huge body of Ursok in front of him. As tough as he was, he also received a strong shock after seeing this demigod body for the first time.

But his devout belief in the Holy Light quickly restored his shock, and he said to the pirates in wonder:

"I felt the vibration of divine power rolling here in Vordrassil before. It should be the aftermath of your battle with the fallen demigod. You are really impressive, Black.

Your dedication and contribution to this world has surpassed that of most people. "

"Yes, I narrowly escaped death to kill it and help solve a big problem for people who didn't know the threat was coming. But you know me, I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, so let's skip this process of boasting."

Blake raised his head, "looking" at Dathrohan holding a holy object, and then at the huge demigod corpse next to him, and asked:

"How long will it take you to complete the cleanse?"

"If it's just me, it will take at least seven days."

The Great Knight is a very frank character.

Especially when facing his trustworthy comrades, he did not hide his lack of strength. He stroked the scorching holy object in his hand and said to Blake:

"Not only must we complete the purification of the fallen god's body, but we must also remove all the remaining void breath in the entire valley. Even with the power of the Silver Hand, this is still a huge project.

Although the artifact won't get tired, I will. "

"Then what if there is a high-level priest who is proficient in the ways of shadow and light to help you?"

The pirate asked softly:

"Would your sincere belief allow you to work with such a heretic? I don't want to invite my most important subordinate here and then be 'purified' by you with a hammer."

"You mean Natalie Serling?"

The great knight asked in return.

He watched the pirate nod, then closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then glanced at the source of corruption that was rapidly decaying in front of him, and said:

"I have worked with her before. If there is a high-level priest like her to help, the purification time will indeed be greatly shortened. But between us and Selin, it is just a doctrinal dispute.

This is an internal contradiction.

The battle against the evil of the void is related to the safety of the entire human civilization and even the world.

You don't have to worry about my faith, Black.

As a guardian of the Holy Light, I can still distinguish between big issues of right and wrong. But you must warn your subordinates in advance not to speak profanity in front of me, let alone try to tell me about the heretical beliefs! "

"My mouth is on my body, how do you want me to take care of it?"

The pirate spread his hands and said something witty. Then he noticed the serious look of the knight, nodded, and said:

"But you must also tolerate my subordinates. Natalie's practice of light and shadow requires her to imprison some creations of the void to study the secrets of the void.

Look, look, you're getting angry again before I finish speaking.

A warrior like you should know that if you want to fight something, you have to understand it first. Let you honest paladins study the void, and ten out of ten of you will go crazy.

Since you can't do this job, you need professionals. "

Black said:

"I will share Natalie's research results with you and the Tirisfal Council. This kind of valuable military information can always be exchanged for your turning a blind eye, right?

To be honest, if the source of corruption were not too powerful and required the use of Titan artifacts like the Silver Hand, I would have let Natalie preside over the purification ceremony alone. "

This time the stubborn knight did not object.

It was probably Black's words that convinced him. As a paladin who had experienced many battles, he really understood the importance of intelligence before a desperate battle.

"There are also these bones, I promised them in advance."

The pirate pointed to the "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood" that emitted a strange smell next to him, and said:

"These bear bones serve as carriers of demigods. They have natural power flowing through them and are also imbued with the void. They can withstand the sacred inscription while maintaining resistance to the void.

It is an extremely rare crafting material.

After you complete the purification, I will take one third as my reward.

I leave the bulk to you, so that those of you who are fighting against the void on the secret front can also get some minimum power to protect yourself.

Don't worry about the druids coming to you in the future.

I have communicated this matter with Ursoc, and the generous demigod allowed us to use its remains in this way. "

"Ah, this is really a great thing!"

Dathrohan finally heard the good news, and the knight smiled under his helmet. But soon, the cunning pirate used this matter to express his conditions:

"Look, Lord Knight, we are old acquaintances. Let me tell you the truth. I don't need to notify the Holy Light Church to do this.

After all, it is something related to the fallen demigod. As long as I send a letter, the night elf druids will definitely come to help for free. The reason why I must ask you to participate is because of our relationship and help you improve your 'record'.

In order to avoid being underestimated by others when you come into contact with the druids in the future.

Such a major event against the Void Front cannot be accomplished by humans alone without the help of druids and moon priests. Your organization will only become larger and larger in the future, and even alien shamans and dragon legions may Get involved.

So what happened this time was that I sold you a personal favor.

Let you show the greatness and justice of the Holy Light to the creatures of the North and future 'colleagues'. "

The pirate snapped his fingers and said leisurely:

"You also know that I will definitely not engage in loss-making business. I will also be involved in the affairs in Northern Xinjiang later, and then it will be time for your Holy Light Church to return my favor.

Don't be afraid, you just have a hidden card, you may not be able to use it.

But if the situation is really urgent, I will trouble you. "

"you"

Hearing the pirate's words, the great knight suddenly had a headache.

Things in Northern Xinjiang haven't officially started yet, but they are already troublesome enough. Various forces are involved, and now the bastard Black wants to participate too.

Although Dathrohan knew very well that the last time Lothar was able to survive the war, it was also due to Black. But it is conceivable that the pirates must have bad intentions when going to northern Xinjiang.

Maybe I'll do something while the chaos is happening.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but Blake anticipated his thoughts, stretched out a finger, shook it, and said:

"I'm telling you, but you don't have the right to decide. Your Majesty the Pope will nod or shake his head on this matter. I believe that the old man, who is full of wisdom and determination, will make the right judgment.

Then I won't disturb the great knight in carrying out this righteous purification.

I'm going to fetch my ship's doctor right away. "

After saying that, he picked up the little fish man, nodded to the big knight, took a step back, and disappeared into the shadows.

Dathrohan watched Black leave, and his impression of this cunning pirate suddenly became much worse.

Especially after he circled around Ursoc's massive, decaying body and discovered that he had been tricked by the pirates.

Ursok's head was missing.

The big bear head was removed in advance and has disappeared.

But the pirates didn't go too far. In the position of the bear's head, there was a huge demigod heart that exuded cold air and was not yet decayed.

There was a note on it, saying that this huge and tough thing had been magically processed and was suitable for use as a multi-faceted and powerful shield.

But the pirate reminded the Paladin that such high-quality production materials must not be handed over to a blacksmith with poor skills. It is best to invite the best dwarf craftsmen from Ironforge to Northern Xinjiang.

It would be even better if they were legendary blacksmiths like the two brothers Magni and Muradin.

"Cunning guy!"

The great knight stroked the huge heart that seemed to be beating like a demigod before him, and said:

"It's really hard to like. You can't take it lightly at any time. If Dai Lin sees his son like this, he will definitely go crazy with anger.

Well, I really look forward to seeing their father and son meet, there will definitely be a lot of fun to watch. "
