Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Gaum's death was an accident.

Even now that the stinky pirate has won, he has returned to his senses and realizes that he has accomplished an impossible thing.

Old man Thaqir was praising today's victory, which is a legend even in the world of Argus. The stinky pirate who should have died tragically at the claws of Gaum miraculously won. Although he was mentally and physically haggard and had many broken bones, The vitality has also become like a candle flame in the wind, teetering on the edge of falling, and you may die if you fall down casually.

But other than that, he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

This in itself is a miracle that cannot be replicated.

There are many ingredients that make up this miracle.

The most important thing is the seven powers of the wilderness gods temporarily drawn from the Eagle Spear. They force Blake's combat power to a level beyond legend. This is the basis of all battles.

Without this enhancement, even if the pirates have a "suicide artifact" like the Skull of Tha'kiel, it is impossible to challenge Gaum.

Without the reinforcement of the Seven Gods, it would be difficult for Black to break through the defense against Gaum. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a cunning pirate who has not yet become a legend.

Wisdom can make up for a lot, but it cannot make up for the absolute gap.

In addition to the strengthening of the Seven Gods, the pirates' understanding of the weaknesses of "Good Dog" Gaum was also an important reason for their victory.

As soon as the battle started, he destroyed one of Gaum's three heads that burned all things, making it impossible to use Gaum's fallen guardian breath that superimposed damage on each other.

In addition, through the "pedicure" of the war beasts and the "self-sacrifice" of the sky at the critical moment, applying the "perseverance revenge" BUFF to the opponent is also an extremely critical link.

However, in the later stages of the battle, the miraculous effect of the Stinky Pirate and his herd in pushing the battle to such an extent that Gaum had nowhere to attack was completely derived from the two new skills that Black obtained after completing the Wilderness Trial.

Active skills: Heart of the beast:

Only the top beast masters can understand the secret of the heart of the beast in the wild power of wild nature. This is a unique skill that taps out all the combat potential of the beast master.

After activating the heart of the beast, the beast master enters the state of [Beastly Madness].

In this state, the angry beast master and his beast enter a state of madness, become unstoppable, and are immune to all psychic impact, displacement control, deceleration or imprisonment effects.

It also increases all damage caused by Beastmasters and War Beasts by 100%, and increases critical hit rate by 50%.

In this state, the beast master and his beasts are dominated by animalistic madness, and no matter how serious the injury is, they cannot be killed.

After the Beast Heart state is activated, it will last until the beast master is exhausted and voluntarily quits.

Just by looking at the description, you can tell how awesome this skill is. It is basically a desperate skill that can be used in any desperate situation and is very likely to take away the opponent.

In particular, the "immortality" attribute that comes with the activation of the Heart of the Beast is an important reason why the pirate and his beasts can survive the wrath of Gaum until the end.

It can be called a "blood lock".

As for the skill Heart of the Beast itself, it was the core of the Beastmaster hunting combat system in his gaming career. In an early version, this thing was called the "little red man".

Because the effect of turning on the skill is that both the hunter and the beast become larger and redder, the damage is increased, and they are unstoppable.

Even the noble masters were so tortured by the little celebrities that they had no choice but to give these untouchable hunters the insulting nickname "mad dogs."

Although subsequent versions were successively sanctioned by designers, the "mad dogs" became toothless old dogs.

But no matter how the version changes, the little red man has always been the core signature skill of the beast king hunters from the time he appeared until Black's time travel and rebirth. This shows the importance of this thing to hunters.

It can be summed up in one sentence: a hunter who cannot drive a small red man is not worthy of being called a hunter.

Unfortunately, in the real world of Azeroth, not every hunter knows such secrets of wild nature, at least not Windrunner's mother, nor his good-for-nothing brother Nathanos.

Black guessed that Rexxar, who was born in the Mok'Nathal clan, should be able to do it, but this was a bottom-of-the-line skill when desperate, and would not be used in ordinary battles.

It's no wonder that when Black pestered Lexa to teach him a few tricks, the sociophobic orc was so entangled. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach him, but that this thing was really not something that ordinary people could learn.

Just giving up reason and accepting animal nature without resistance is enough to persuade 99% of people.

The Stinky Pirate knows very well that although the Heart of the Beast is powerful, without the cooperation of the second passive skill "Predator Leader", it will be difficult for him and his beasts to win the crusade against Gaum.

Passive skills·Predator leader:

Effect 1: Beast Sense.

The top predators in the cruel nature all have the ability to sense danger in advance, and the beast masters with the heart of the beast also have the same [beast sense], allowing them to deal with danger before it arrives.

This effect continues to take effect, and the perception effect is greatly enhanced while the Beast's Heart is activated.

Effect 2: The cooperation of the herd.

When the Beast Heart skill is activated, the beast master and the war beast share each other's [Beast Sense]. The dangers perceived by any one will be accepted and fed back to each other. After the multiple senses are superimposed on each other, even the smallest crisis will be discovered, and finally So that the herd can avoid the disaster of extinction.

Notice:

The current upper limit of the stacking effect of beast perception is five war beasts.

This restriction is lifted after the beast master understands the secret of [Running of Beasts].

Effect 3: Born wild.

Each time the Beast Controller activates a war beast, the destructive power bonus effect of the Beast Controller and the war beast when the Heart of the Beast is activated is increased by 50%. The upper limit is that five war beasts are activated at the same time, which means that the destructive power is superimposed by 250%.

Notice:

This restriction is lifted after the beast master understands the secret of [Running of Beasts].

The superposition and mutual cooperation of these two skills allowed the destructive power and cooperation of the pirate and his herd to finally break through the confinement of the realm when fighting together, and achieved a magical effect in the battle with Gaum.

This is probably the legendary "breakthrough on the battlefield."

But the price was not only that Black owed the wolf god Goldrinn a big favor, but also that his beloved hippogryph Sky was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.

At this time, the pirate was trying his best to rush towards the direction where the sky was falling, and his equally tired beasts were already fighting there. The good news is that the war beasts are not alone, there are two guys helping them.

The bad news is that they are all exhausted by the siege at this time, but the enemy keeps coming.

Moreover, Hela felt the departure of her beloved dog, and in anger she summoned a seemingly incredible thing, which was breaking out of the cracks in the eternal battlefield.

Judging from the breath alone, he should be no less than Gaom.

The pirates must take them out before they are defeated.

"Little darlings, hold on."

Black wore a Warden cloak that was melted and torn into rags by Gorm's stomach acid. He wore a Salamani belt around his waist. He was carrying the Ashbringer on his back and holding two legendary crossbows. He was limping in Hades. They were fighting forward in the mud, and anyone who rushed at them would be knocked down with one arrow, without even having time to recover the arrows.

While encouraging in the communication accompanying the Heart of the Beast:

"Your great and ruthless master is on his way."

"Okay, but you'd better hurry up. I'm tired and can't hold on any longer."

This was Frostpaw's arrogant voice.

"Me too."

This is the honest voice of Dajiao.

"It's okay if you slow down. This female vrykul is very good at fighting. She can still hold on for a while, and Odin's battle flag is also very powerful. But Qingqiong is too injured and can't hold on anymore."

This is Jiying's beautiful voice.

I said.

Miss Hisali Black Crow, you saw that the stinky pirate can understand the voice of the beast, so you really let yourself go, right? ——

The conversation turned to the sky.

The loyal hippogryph was just hit by Gaum's headbutt and fell to the edge of the eternal battlefield. When it landed, its vision went dark, and it almost couldn't catch its breath.

It is only a little bit away from meeting its last owner, Queen Azshara.

But fortunately or unfortunately, the place where the sky fell happened to be a mud puddle, which slowed down the impact it suffered, leaving a small life on the verge of death, but also restricted its escape.

Shortly after landing, he was dragged into the mud by a group of Hylagar soldiers and prepared to perform a live-kill hippogryph.

Qing Qiong was already unconscious at that time.

It gave up all hope.

Until Supreme Shield Girl Heya came over with an unparalleled Odin flag, the four-meter-tall Vrykul woman had already learned everything from Narmus Gaoling behind her.

His outbursts of emotion as a rough vrykul are direct and sincere.

She couldn't give up such a loyal beast, and even envied the lucky man. She and her bear and dragon did not have such pure and touching emotions.

Furthermore, if Heya wants to plant Odin's flag in the core of Hela's territory, the best choice is of course Hela's throne, but the Supreme Shield Girl is not a pure reckless woman.

If she ever goes there, she can't come back.

The same goes for the battle flag set up on the eternal battlefield where Hela used to torture the dead souls. The existence of this sacred battle flag will give those lost souls the courage to persevere and resist.

From this point of view, leaving this battle flag here is even more useful than being placed on the throne of Hela.

Therefore, Heya simply inserted the battle flag into the puddle where the sky fell. As soon as the golden battle flag fell to the ground, a circle of golden rune light spread to the surrounding dozens of yards as if it had taken root on the ground.

The death aura of Hades was dispersed, and the Supreme Shield Girl standing on the holy ground felt her courage surge outwards. She roared, grabbing her war spear and blocking it in front of the battle flag.

What Hylagal soldiers, what Hylagal war generals, come and kill one, come and kill a pair of two.

The dead soul of Narmus Gaoling who rushed over with her squatted next to Cang Qiong, and with the superb skills of a hunter, he helped the dying Cang Qiong regain his breath.

Then came the death of Gorm, and the pirate war beasts rushed over to help. However, Heya was too high-profile, and the Odin flag put down by the Supreme Shield Girl soon attracted more difficult opponents.

This thing is simply like an amplified "Challenge Roar", continuously causing a 1000% taunting effect on all surrounding Hela subordinates.

The arrogant feeling of riding on the face was full in an instant.

"Vrykul! Die!"

As the storm dragon roared, a group of Helagar elites descended from the sky, and the leader was the Hela warrior who had escaped from the stinky pirates before.

Vigfus Bladewind has changed into a more powerful and sinister armor, but the two strange blades in his hands are still as deadly as before.

Although he was almost killed by the cunning pirate with the Ashbringer when he was fighting with Blake, that didn't mean that this Hela warrior was weak.

He's a bit stupid at best.

It can only be said that the Ashbringer is too lethal when facing demons and undead.

Now facing a Vrykul female warrior who had been fighting for a long time, the destructive power of the fallen warrior Wigfors was immediately revealed.

Relying on the violent double swords in his hands, the first blow of the close assault exploded with the dual divine power of Odin and Hela contained in the two swords. In the brute force attack, Heya's sword was covered with mist. The aura's golden war spear slashed wildly.

Another whirlwind slash of flesh and blood was unleashed, leaving the Supreme Shield Girl with her first wound since the war began.

There was something obviously weird about those two swords.

The wounds cut by them could not heal, and Heya Meditation felt that her defense was weakened, and all the armor was as thin as paper when facing the two angry holy blades.

The brutal Hela warrior in front of her was a formidable enemy, but even so, she did not give up the fight.

The Helagar elites who came with the Hela warriors bypassed the shield girl's defense and attacked behind her to destroy the Odin battle flag that was taking root.

But the angry war beasts attacked everywhere, beating the people of Hylagal to their knees.

Narmus Gaoling also grabbed the dim eagle war spear and slashed with his halberd outside Odin's battle flag. As a revenant, he could feel the pull of the breath of death at any time in Hades.

But in this place where the soul was supposed to come, it also allowed him to regain his physical form.

He even felt again the emotions that had become indifferent after death, the blood of fighting, the heart of protection, and the pain and longing in his heart.

Especially when he wielded the Eagle Spear and killed the surrounding mist servants with a carnage spin, the sorrow of dying before the attack was even more disturbing.

He could have been a warrior like Hea or Black.

If there is a chance to do it again

"Ouch"

The painful dying sobs of Gaom could be heard from the distant Sea of ​​Hades. The death of the gatekeeper of Hades in the hell he was guarding was like a wake-up call, striking hard on the wolf-like servants of Helagar around him. On the body.

The loser Gaoling felt their cowardice.

Black's great victory inspired them brave men who dared to rush into hell to fight to the death.

Narmus held the eagle's claw and looked into the distance. He saw the black smoke and the flash of light. He knew that it was the underworld cheering for that man.

A real hero appears.

And he

He should have had such a future.

So envious

The tauren soul looked at the Hylaghars retreating or even escaping around him. The joy of his companions' victory was like Huang Zhongdalu's oath, which made him see the greatest thing that a hunter could do.

It was like a fire that ignited a dark soul that was already hopeless.

Narmus looked at the war spear in his hand. It was also vibrating, and seemed to be trembling with emotion for this wonderful battle. It was also longing for a new beginning and carrying a new story.

perhaps

Just maybe, I can fight like Huon, I can become a light like Blake, and I can write my own story with my own hands like Heya.

Even after death.

The dead soul of the tauren was so happy that he wanted to cry at this moment. Very few people get a second chance, and now fate has finally favored him. Narmus Gaoling grasped the trembling spear in his hand and turned to look at the Hela warrior who was knocking Heya to the ground.

It is so arrogant and powerful.

As the opponent in the final curtain call, it is simply too suitable.

The tauren raised his spear and lowered his head. He panted heavily, his eyes were red, and the power of his soul began to burn.

Old friend, although I started a little late.

But please.

Fight with me!

Great ancestors who live high in the sky, witness a cowardly and incompetent descendant and start your real story!

Highest Mountain!

Stand firm!
