41. --- defeat at the Battle of Mount Hyjal?
What happened at that moment?
When Dick fell to the ground, he saw the soaring Demon Hunter and the Watcher who jumped out of the shadows, Uther with dark wings bulging behind him was repelled by the furious Akmund, and saw the burning flames of the giant tree that had dissipated into an overwhelming green fluorescent glow, as if it had been pinched from top to bottom by an invisible hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
His "eye for an eye" opened a huge blood hole in the abdomen of the Great Demon, and the black breath of death and the scorching holy light condensed in the abdomen of the Great Demon, and it was precisely because of the existence of the blood hole that Illidan, Uther and the Mystic Warden, as well as the demigods who were almost exhausted, could compete with the Great Demon, in fact, although they were both epic heroes, but Illidan, a mortal who is detached, and a talented person like the Great Demon, really can't be the same.
Just like a hero-level dragon can reach a tie with the epic heroic humans, on the road of strength, talent is always an unavoidable trouble.
Dick saved Tyrande, this is already the ultimate he can do in a battle of this level, and all the rest must be handed over to fate, frankly, Dick doesn't like this feeling, but when he really faces an opponent like the Great Demon, no matter how much anger and powerlessness he has, it is just torture for himself!
You have to admit that a lot of times, pain, is anger at your own incompetence.
In fact, it wasn't just Dick, Thrall, Kane and Barnes beside him, the eldest lady running from a distance, Garrod standing on the high platform, even Illidan who stood up, Uther who had fallen into the darkness, and the elven soldiers who were still fighting to the death with demons, everyone, all the creatures in Kalimdor, and even the humans in the Eastern Continent who didn't know what was going on here.
The fate of all people, the fate of this world, is like a big gamble, all on Malfurion's shoulders, and the choices he makes will determine the history of this world after that.
The green fluorescence was like a beautiful band of light, wrapped around the surface of the Great Demon's body, as if it was putting a beautiful pair of shackles on the rampaging Demon King who wanted to destroy the world, and the Demon Hunter and the Warden held the injured and quickly retreated, like two light black swallows, obviously, they knew what the light band meant.
The next moment, in the roar of the Great Demon, endless light erupted!
But just before the light erupted, Akmund's eyes were on Dick,
"It's you!it's all you!worm!lackeys of the Light!Die!"
"Huh!"
Before being completely enveloped in the intertwined green and white light, a third line of death was pointed out, and the target was none other than Dick, who had been placed on horseback by Uther and fled backwards.
The bone sword in Uther's hand tried to block Dick's side, but it was like slow motion, in Dick's vision, the thick light was getting closer and closer, but its flight speed was also getting slower, and the death horse even finally stayed in place, all like... It's like time has slowed down all around you.
But soon, he realized that this was not an illusion! Time was really slowed down!
"Hey... It's reckless!"
The old voice, which sounded in the ears of Dick, who was about to die, sobered the paladin's mind for a moment, and he asked inwardly with difficulty,
"Mr. Nozdorm... You, are you here to save me?"
"Save? Of course, I'm here to save you, but Dick, this battle is so chaotic that I can't even see the end clearly, have you forgotten my warning?
Dick's eyes widened, and his mind was in disarray.
“… The demigods have been resurrected, and we still have Illidan, Mavi, and Uther! And us, as long as Akmund is seriously injured, we have a chance to kill it! Victory is at hand, why is there a tilt?"
"Good idea, Dick, as long as you can blow up Akmund and seriously injure you, the Second Demon War will end as you planned, the order of Kalimdor and the whole world will continue to exist, and Theramore will develop faster, and even you will be able to achieve what Master Nogannon wants you to do sooner. ”
Nozdom's voice became solemn,
"But Dick, I don't know if you've ever thought about a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"In the history you have advanced step by step, the World Tree has already assumed the power of the resurrection of three demigods, and the only ones that remain can really blow up the Great Demon to serious injuries?"
Nozdorm's voice became weaker, like an old man who had regained his body, and the vicissitudes of life and tone even outlined Nozdorm's lonely demeanor in Dick's heart, but obviously, the old dragon king didn't need Dick's answer, so after asking the question, he directly gave his own answer.
"Believe me, Dick, an opponent of the level of the Great Demon is far from being as simple as you think! and the history in your eyes, and the history in my eyes, is not as beautiful as you think. ”
"History is like a scale! Dick, what you did before was like putting two seemingly identical weights on top of an otherwise dangerous balance! You thought the dangerous balance would continue, but would it really be as you wished?"
"If history had life, everything you had done before was just to do some trimming and shrunken on the edge of history, and it would be harmless. But this time, your actions have put a knife on the neck of history, and as long as you slash lightly, the original will die out because of it! I believe that history is alive, so it is about to make a counterattack! Dick, open your eyes and see, this is the counterattack of history!"
The time in Dick's eyes gradually flowed, and Nozdorm's last admonition still lingered in his ears,
"Dick, you're not a savior! Don't try to be a savior! never!"
Dick held his palm in front of him, but the light seeping from between his fingers still made him can't help but close his eyes, too bright! The next moment, the unstoppable thrust blew him and Tyrande behind him like kites, and in the violent air waves, he was like a butterfly with nowhere to focus in the storm, unable to even protect himself.
It was like the first light of the universe at the beginning of its opening, born from the darkness, and at the moment of its birth, the darkness that gave birth to it was dispelled, and the finger of death that took its life disappeared without a trace, but the warning of the Lord of Time just now made Dick's head a mess, just relying on the power remaining inside the World Tree, did it really blow up to death, or blow up the Great Demon to serious injury?
The answer is no!
When the two-minute-long light dissipated, the original location of the World Tree, there was no longer the great tree that was like the pillar of heaven and earth, and instead of it, there was a big demon who had lost his left arm and right leg, and most of his body was also broken.
But it didn't die!
And although his body fell to the ground in embarrassment, it still had the power to destroy all the living beings present, and the worst thing was that the situation that Garrod feared finally appeared, and the aftermath of the explosion of the World Tree knocked Illidan directly out of the demonic transformation state, and the demon hunter was lying on the ground not far away, trying to stand up.
And the mysterious watchman was obviously not in a good state either, a dark white bladed light and shadow blocked in front of her, blocking most of the impact for her, but the white phantom was also crumbling!
Uther's armor was shattered, his pale and withered face appeared in front of Dick's eyes again, and the hairy black aura circulated rapidly on Uther's body, in addition to the holy light, the natural energy also had restraint damage to the death knight, so his injuries were the heaviest among the three epic heroes.
What about the others? Dick looked back, and everyone except him had been thrown away by the blast, and the eldest lady had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Akmund is still alive! After the explosion of the World Tree, it is still alive and strong! Watch as the Archdemon used his only remaining hand to spill three fingers of death in a rage, piercing through the body of Agamagan who rushed towards him, watching as the Archdemon continued to tear more portals through the air with the most malicious laughter, and watched as more and more demons surrounded the similarly injured demigods.
Dick felt a trace of panic and coldness from the bottom of his heart!
The Great Demon is not dead, he still has the strength to fight! The already weak demigod has lost too much strength in this explosion! And the Great Demon is still calling for reinforcements! Everything is terrible! His beautiful illusion was shattered at this moment.
He thought that the demigod + world tree could easily stop Akmund, he thought that the victory was in his hands, but the cold reality gave him a slap in the face!
So who else can stop it now!
"I'm coming!"
Tyrande struggled to her feet from the ground, holding the flowering bow behind her back in her hand, and she opened her bow, and the moonlit light appeared on the bowstring, but like flickering candles, flickering and then disappearing.
"The power of the moon god... Nope..."
"Poof. ”
The Moon Sacrifice spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell to the ground, Dick looked around in a daze, Thrall and Wallock were lying on the dirty ground, dead and alive, Lexa's Misha and Hofer stood in front of their master when they exploded, but this did not protect Lexa, the hunter was now leaning against a tree root, gasping for breath, and everyone else was also struggling on the ground in an extremely embarrassed posture, and the battlefield that had just gained the upper hand fell into such a terrible situation in the blink of an eye!
Standing up with his tomahawk on his hand, disbelief appeared in Dick's mind, is this the tilt and counterattack of history?
The enemy, who should have died, did not die, and the war, which should have been won, is heading for defeat!
"Bastard!bastard! bastard! bastard!"
Dick scolded, he controlled his aching body, and walked step by step towards the great demon who was frantically attacking the demigods with a finger of death, and it was very difficult to walk, because the strength and holy energy of his whole body were close to drying up, but he had to pass!
Don't look at the Great Demon who has lost his arms and legs, to kill him is almost like blowing a breath!
"Bastard!
Dick picked up a stone from the ground, and in a fit of rage, threw it at the distant Great Demon, and the stone crossed the air and finally fell weakly to the ground, just like Dick's mood now.
"I just want to keep some power in place... I just want everyone to live, bastard!"
The turtle shell of the demigod Tortula, who had the strongest defensive power, was smashed by the fist of the great demon blow after blow, even if he was good at defense, under such an attack, the carapace of the turtle demigod finally appeared a little crack!
"Come at me alone!bastard!Don't involve anyone else!Bastard!What do you want the world to do! Bastard!"
Illidan and Mavi, who rushed to the aid of Tortula, were both knocked away by the death finger of the archdemon, and Uther could not stand on his own, and under the onslaught of the archdemon who lost all his senses, he could only retreat with difficulty!
Further on, demonic reinforcements rushed into position, the third line of defense shattered, and even Garrod had to draw his sword and join the savage hand-to-hand combat.
"Bang!"
Dick fell to his knees, the roar of blood sliding limply from his palms, he covered his face with his hands, if Nozdorm had told him how terrible it was to have time falling, he didn't have that idea, but now, when this terrible scene appeared before his eyes, he was really cold.
"I'm really... I really... Did you do it wrong?"
"No, son, you're doing a lot better than I thought! ”
A deep voice reached Dick's ears, and he jerked his head to see the old man in front of him, dressed in a black feather robe, holding an eagle's staff, and eyes like the blue sea and sky.
He could be sure that this man had never appeared on the battlefield before, that he was like a ghost, and in fact, even now, when he stood in front of Dick, Dick still couldn't feel his presence.
But just from the iconic eagle wooden staff and the red ribbon wrapped around the top of the wooden staff, Dick knew the identity of the old man in front of him.
The most powerful astral mage, the last guardian of the Council of Tiris, the poor man whose body was possessed by the soul of the Dark Titan, colluded with Gul'dan to open the dark gates, luring the orcs to attack Azeroth, indirectly causing hundreds of thousands of lives and the executioner of the entire human world on the verge of destruction!
But at the same time, he worked tirelessly, as a prophet, to warn King Terenus, the archmage Antonidas, Gianna and Thrall, and even in the original history, the legendary figure who single-handedly formed the Hyjal Mountain Alliance, and truly stood at the top of history.
Medivan!
At this time, this mysterious figure, who had never appeared in the original history, stood in front of Dick's eyes, looking at him with a smile.
"Child, from the moment you appeared in this world, I was watching you..."
"But I didn't..."
Dick wanted to retort, he had never met Medivan before, and had even used the identity of the Astral Mage to trick him, but his retort was quickly interrupted by Medivan.
The Astral Mage stretched out his finger and tapped it in the air, and a picture appeared before Dick's eyes, which was clearly the image of a lonely, desperate man crawling through the dark silver pine forest when he was just reborn.
When the picture was stretched to the limit, Dick saw that in the dark forest behind him, a crow with a swarthy body was standing quietly on a tree branch, its blood-red eyes staring at him.
Dick suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and then he heard the black-robed man say gently,
"Look, I've known you for a long time, Dick, though you've never seen me!"
