22. The lonely cat queen
Cats, this is a very special creature.
No matter what the planet is, all cats have exactly the same laziness, just like a noble lady, who only wants to stay in her boudoir and doesn't want to go anywhere, not every time, because of the beautiful things that tug at the heartstrings, disdain for gorgeous and expensive cat toys, but will involuntarily chase an old ball of yarn because of interest.
Like those unpredictable women, so we always say that women are like cats... Uh, a little bit farther.
In short, Ulduarly also has cats, but they are larger, more ferocious, and more crazy than ordinary cats.
A few black-spotted cats ran around Orlea, and they had been repeating this boring behavior for a long time, well, probably tens of thousands of years, and they had been expecting their owners to gently stroke its back or pat it on the top of its head affectionately, as before, but the owner seemed to be busy, always moving forward on this wide avenue that would never end, silent, cold, like real stones.
Holding a book made of rocks with special magic in her arms, and a blue one-handed hammer shining with thunder and lightning in her arms, Orlia walked silently in Ulduar's inner ring, her eyes were chaotic, her graceful sky-blue robe was covered with dust and stains, her golden hair was somewhat disheveled on her clothes because it had not been taken care of for a long time, and this once the most popular archivist of Ulduar had also become sloppy at this time, like a housemaid who had not stepped out of the door for several years。
Of course, her height is about 15 meters, and the special body structure of the guardian makes her weigh more than 5 tons, and only a specially built area like Ulduar can withstand her wandering day after day, year after year, and this wandering has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
This is Orlea, the lonely cat queen, who walks with her favorite kittens in a quiet inner ring world, seemingly going on forever, with no end in sight, and in the city of Titans, which has been completely covered in darkness, the happiness of the past has long been gone.
Aronnaya's screams were just a false alarm, and neither Dick nor the others were in a big mess.
If it was Yugsaron who pounced on him from behind, Dick might have been seriously injured or even killed if he was unlucky, but if it was just an obsidian cat... He didn't even have to dodge.
The crimson handarmor burst out with a bright light, turned around, and punched!
After Alkavon's punch effect exploded, Dick's fist was more dangerous than a cannonball, and the next moment the sneak attacker's claws slashed through the paladin's divine shield, the heavy punch slammed into its body, and the beautiful black cat let out a feline scream when it was stepped on its tail, and then, like a blasted stone, slashed through the air, and finally smashed into the stone pillar of the front hall, crumbling into a ball.
Elonnaya rushed across Dick's body, ran to the obsidian cat that was only breathing, pressed his hands on its completely crumbled abdomen, and mended the poor little creature with the power of manipulating the rocks, and Alexstasa leaned down to inject a heavy life energy into the dying creature's body.
"It's... It's Orlea's cat! The Titans are on it, she's still alive!"
There was a hint of happiness and joy in Elonnaya's voice, and when the cat's wound was repaired, it opened its eyes, which were made of the most beautiful red agate, and it looked vigilantly at the group of people around it, baring its teeth, and the whiskers around its mouth trembled vividly, until the palm of Alonnaya's hand landed on the top of its head, and the obsidian cat seemed to recall the taste of Elonnaya, it stuck out its tongue, licked the giantess's palm, and then narrowed its eyes, withdrew its claws and sharp teeth, and looked very well-behaved。
Dick's eyes were a little strange, and he gestured to the body of the big obsidian cat, and whispered to Azadas beside him,
"You call this rocky beast a kitten? It's two circles bigger than the fiercest lion in the barren savannah!"
The Shaper shrugged, "But these little ones are pets to us... I remember it was a gift from Ignis to Orlea, there were nine of them, and Orlea thought she had a chariot pulled by two cats, but she had never seen her take them out. ”
"Hey guys, wait a minute, someone's coming!"
Nozdorm's voice interrupted Dick and Azadas's discussion, and everyone turned around, and the next moment, a tall figure came into everyone's field of vision, her long golden hair was messily draped behind her, her sky-blue robe was covered with dust and stains, and her eyes were full of chaotic light, but even so, she clung to the rock book in her hand, and carried a starry warhammer in her other hand.
She angrily looked left and right, as if looking for something, until she saw the big obsidian cat held in Ironnaya's arms, and she let out a scream,
"Take my cat... Give it back to me!"
Flowing lightning appeared from Orlia's warhammer and slashed down towards Elonnaya, the giantess quickly recovered to its original form 10 meters high, slashed the lightning with a sword, and then took a thousand steps, shouting,
"Orlea, my sister, sober! don't make me beat you!"
"Give me back my cat!"
The chaotic Orria didn't pay attention to Alonnaya's call at all, and slammed the war hammer with one hand towards the giantess, she has been in Ulduar for many years, and the power of the guardian has not declined at all, this hammer smashed down, so that the rock sword in Alonnaya's hand shattered, as well as the mixed electricity and a shadow power that should not appear, this deadly attack made Alonnaya quickly retreat, but the archivist's next blow attacked again with a lightning storm and a shadow tide.
"Bang"
Azadas lifted the stone-bombing hammer and blocked the blow for his companion, his body took two steps back, the slate under his feet shattered, and needless to say, a cross light lit up in Orria's abdomen, and Dick's deep voice,
"She's controlled, take her down first!"
The powerful crusader blow was completely bombarded in Orlia's abdomen by the Sword of Order, completely tearing apart the robes and armor, the giantess's cry of pain made the shadows around her begin to float, and in the next second, the remaining 8 obsidian cats jumped out of the shadows, and rushed towards Dick who had just fallen to the ground, and then in the explosion of golden thunder, they were all repulsed.
These big cats have a numerical advantage, but they are not eggs, their individual strength is too poor, as Azadas said, they are just pets, maybe rock monsters that are difficult for mortals to fight, but for such a violent Dick, to anyone present, their pounces are no threat at all.
"In the name of time, deprive you of a counterattack!"
Nozdom's hands were open, the mysterious power of time completely dissipated on Orria's body, the warhammer she raised, her grown mouth, and even the corners and expressions of her clothes were completely halted at this moment, the golden thunder that burst out once again jumped in her abdomen, and the warhammer that Azadas smashed into her shoulder with a thousand strokes.
The Bronze Dragon King has been in an endless struggle with those damn Eternal Dragons on the timeline, and when it comes to combat experience, there is no one stronger than him, the time magic dissipates and loses control, and the moment Orlea's timeline becomes normal, her body flies out violently, smashing down the wall behind her, and the whole person falls into a block of masonry.
The skin of the abdomen had been completely torn apart, the blue Titan energy was flying in the air, and the shoulder that had been smashed by Azadath had caused the archivist to have a rock book in front of him also fall to the ground, soaked in blue energy, which was the blood of the Guardian!
"Ahem..."
Orria struggled to her body straight from the dusty ruins, and was confronted by the arcane storm thrown by Malygos, and she was in her current state unable to fight back, so she could only let the arcane storm that constantly tore through the space around her smash down on her body.
The Blue Dragon King's control of magic power has already reached its peak, and at the moment when the arcane storm enveloped Orlia, his outstretched left hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and the huge amount of blue ** enveloped the giantess's body The force also exploded at the same moment, and the powerful impact smashed on Orlia's body from all directions, and then concentrated on the head under the manipulation of Malygos, and in the roaring sound brought by this wave of explosions, Orlea, who was already injured, rolled her eyes, and fainted with her hair messed up by magic.
Dick waved his hand to tear away the dust raised, strode over to Orlia with the buzzing heavy sword of order, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the embarrassed posture of the mid-level guardian in front of him.
He felt more and more that it was the right choice to drag the Four Dragon Kings to Ulduar to make trouble, Orria and Ignis were about the same strength, and unlike Ignis who still had the last trace of reason, Orlea was more deeply corroded, and theoretically it was more difficult to deal with, but now with the cooperation of Nozdorm and Malygos, it was almost killed in less than 10 seconds, which can be called a god-level assistance.
The paladin turned his heavy sword behind his back, reached out and took off the red armor of his left hand, the closer he got to the inner layer of Ulduar, the more uncontrollable the vibration of the power of order became, but it was still necessary to save it, just like in the previous situation of Ignis, when Dick's burning left hand pressed on Orlea's forehead, the unconscious intermediate guardian suddenly let out an earth-shattering cry of pain.
The confrontation between order and chaos is simply the most painful punishment in the world.
"Hold her, I need 10 minutes!"
The big obsidian cats also gathered outside the group, lying high and low on the ruins, their red agate eyes staring closely at their master, and occasionally making a chirp, as if to encourage their master to hold on.
After 10 minutes, Dick, who was a little tired, removed his left hand from the giantess's forehead, and a clear handprint had been burned on the hard skin, and Orlea's eyes moved and struggled to open them, she looked at Alonnaya beside her in some confusion, and then closed her eyes again.
This action made the giantess's eyes widen, and then she heard her good sister sigh in a low voice,
"Hey... When is this boring nightmare a head... Eminem, I'm dreaming of Aronnaya again, my poor sister who probably died a long time ago, that big idiot, I told her not to let her leave, it's so lonely... Eminem?
Orlea began to call her kitten, and the atmosphere on the spot was already awkward, and an obvious Sichuan-shaped frown appeared on the forehead of the giantess who was ready to be moved, and the next moment, the iron fist of friendship slammed on Orlea's head,
"Get out of here, you damn stupid woman, who do you say is stupid?"
Orlea was completely woken up by this heavy blow, she opened her eyes and looked at the angry Alonnaya, the painful expression on her face came alive at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she wanted to open her hand to give her sister a hug, but her shoulder had been shattered by Azadas, so she could only look at the fist that Alonnaya smashed into her face tragically, and let out a burst of wails,
"Don't hit your head, it hurts!"
"Hit in the stomach, it hurts!"
"Ahhh
The friendship scene is so touching that Dick has to go ahead with the Dragonlords, and then face the high-level guardians, and the unregained power of Azadas and Elonnaya will not be of much use, they will first send the recovered archivists to a safer training ground, and then help the mortals maintain the war there.
And before Dick left, the completely sober cat queen also gave him a definite answer,
"Well, Ignis is right! Among the High Guardians, Hodir's situation is the most serious, he completely freezes his Winter Temple with ice, and no one is allowed to enter it, and Lord Freya is in the best situation, I vaguely remember that before I lost consciousness, she had been preparing something in her life greenhouse, as for the spark of wisdom... It's a dangerous place, Mimiron has a lot of offensive robots around, it's very difficult to get there!
So after saying goodbye to the "eccentric" cat queen, the goals of Dick and the dragon kings became clear,
According to them, if there are awake people among the High Guardians, Freya is the most likely. ”
