10. Keystone: Gate of Worlds--- for the Hess brothers
On the dark green battlefield in the deepest part of the Marton Continent, only one minute passed between the black vines mixed with thunder and lightning and the blue-skinned high-level demon king, and Sen Xia fell into a complete decline.
"Poof"
Memphisto's ten sharp claws were blocked by tough vines, but the skull of Savic, which quickly bypassed the vine wall, was under the control of the evil master, and accurately smashed a thick dark magic force into Senxia's chest, smashing the Dark Lord who was caught off guard and flying out, and when he landed, the mountain rock behind him collapsed into several cracks, like an earthquake, the stone kept falling, and he just fell in the middle of Bard and Tony, and the three of them suddenly rolled into a ball in embarrassment.
Mori Xia, who was hit hard, had a dark eye, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, which was too far away.
Even with the enhancement of the power of thunder, it is still a little insufficient against an opponent of Memphisto's level, and more importantly, Senxia's foundation is so bad that he can't even fully show the effect of the thunder enhancement, in other words, he should have been able to hold on for at least 5 minutes.
But it didn't matter,., there wasn't even a chance to call in Illidare's backup, and Bud and Tony let out a wail in unison, not because of the pain, but because... Lost the bet!
In this kind of big gamble, losing means... Die!
"Ahem... You two bastards!"
While coughing up blood, Senxia turned his head and scolded, "Will you die if you wait any longer?"
"Alright! The discussion of the ants is pointless! I can mercifully give you two ways to die!"
Memphisto crossed his fingers and walked towards the three guys who were no longer able to resist, its indifferent eyes and fierce face were enough to play the role of the villain in any story, and its background was dark enough, the failure of the communication plan made the self-esteemed Dreadlord extremely angry, and after Tikdios got into big trouble and lost the trust of the archdemon Kilgardan, almost all the high-ranking Nasrezm sharpened their knives and prepared to fight for the position left by Tikdios.
The battle between demons is usually very bloody, but there is a set of operating rules within the Burning Legion, so it is not to kill each other, in fact, Nasrezm, a special demon group, also has the custom of not killing each other, in this case, Memphisto from the blockaded planet sent out the news of Illidan's betrayal, and it will definitely win an absolute advantage in this battle for the throne, but unfortunately, all this was destroyed by the three fools in front of him.
How could this keep it from being angry, in fact, if Mephisto had known about Illidan's ruthless Marton's plan to exterminate it, it might have known that it didn't matter if it didn't get out of the way, because it couldn't survive the shattered world.
But right now, this trouble is the Senxia trio, and what's worse is that the only support that can wait for is not known when it will arrive, I just hope that General Sylvanas can't squeeze the big boss too hard, and in this situation, it can really kill people in a second.
"First, I'll skin you and stuff your souls into the furnace, the good news is that you won't die immediately, the bad news is that you'll have to endure 1,000 years of soul burning!"
Looking at the frightened and desperate expressions of the three people in front of him, the mood of the Fear Demon King finally improved, the demons are like this, their chaotic thinking determines that they cannot pay attention to one thing for a long time, even if they suffer the shame of failure one moment, the next moment they may be smiling, since ancient times, chaos and comics, this is not just a joke.
"Oh, it looks like none of the three of you like the first way to die... Then the second one!"
Memphisto stretched out its hideous claws, and the skull of Savage, which was exactly a miniature version of the Eredan skull, hovered and landed in the palm of its hand, it scratched its chin with its claws, and looked at the three ants in front of it with interest, "I will give your souls to Savage to devour, it has already eaten too many demon souls, and it is time to change its taste." β
But at this moment, Memphisto suddenly noticed that the eyes of the three people in front of him changed, from that kind of despair, to a gaze full of hope, and even full of surprise, and the next moment, a gentle voice came from behind the unprepared fear demon king,
"Mr. Mephisto, I actually have a third suggestion, you give me the skull of Savage in your hand, and then you obediently let me bring you to Illidan, or I will beat you up and bring it to Illidan... Personally, I think it's better for you to choose the first option, you know, we Azeroths always hate violence. β
Mephisto's first reaction was to turn into thousands of bats, flee in all directions as fast as possible, appear behind him unconsciously, and somehow shield his perception, this is a guy it can't mess with!
But Dick just shrugged his shoulders, and in the next second, it was hot and dazzling, like a dense network of silver thunder and lightning over Marton, and it fell from the sky.
Dick used to have to fight hard against the weakest of the Dreadlords, but now... These guys, who are not known for their strength, are really a little out of the table.
Fifteen minutes later, the three Senxia were sent back to the Draenor Dark Temple headquarters for treatment through a world-class legion portal placed inside the Storm Fortress, their injuries were severe, and Mephisto, who was even more seriously injured, was handed over by Dick to Kane Sunrage, who was on duty, and the paladin himself walked into the room with a warm breakfast.
Sylvanas rolled over in her sleep, she fumbled around her bed with her eyes closed, and finally failed to find the familiar fellow, she sighed softly and opened her eyes in disdain, only to see the villain sitting on the edge of the bed with breakfast, looking at her with a smile.
"Yikes!"
The Ranger General was held in the arms of the Paladin with one hand, and the light pajamas could not hide her perfect figure at all, but she didn't think about hiding it, but was very accustomed to putting her arms on Dick's waist and resting her head on his shoulder, but the next moment, a faint smell of blood entered her nostrils.
"You're on the battlefield?"
"Uh... A little thing, has been solved. β
The paladin took a piece of warm bread in one hand and put it to the beauty's mouth, "Open your mouth, good girl, isn't it good for a woman to be too smart, you know?"
"Then do you like me like this?"
Shiva's eyes widened as he stared at him, and a feeling of guilt rose in Dick's heart, and he kissed the Ranger General's forehead softly, whispering in her slender ear, "Don't change yourself for me... My Khiva, I will always love you who are free, proud, and never admit defeat. β
The Ranger General's gaze became gentle as water at this moment, she probably understood why this man who was not outstanding in appearance, and even some wooden men would attract so many excellent women, she reached out and put the bread in Dick's hand on the table, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and then kissed him lightly in his ear, and whispered, "Bastard... Don't ever want to leave me... Also, call me Queen, I like you to call me Queen. β
"Yes, my eternal queen. β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Many times, a broken world means the end of life.
Draenor is a good example of this, although this planet is not one of the many planets where the Titans sowed life, but it eventually evolved the first season of life by itself, the rock creation Margolon and the life creator Forest Spirit, the former is said to be the ancestor of the ogre, and the latter evolved the life of the entire world of Draenor, it is said that 35 years before the orcs invaded Azeroth, most of that world was still shrouded in the forest giant trees, and in the most mysterious hills, there are still forest spirit monsters as powerful as abyssal behemoths.
Now, after the return of the Orcs of Nagrand, there are still records of that creature in the orc literature, and the orcs call it the "Will to Life" in awe, which shows the strength of that creature.
But even though it was an existence comparable to that of a dragon, it was still destroyed along with the entire world in the devastating shattering of the world of Draenor.
This is not an isolated case, as long as it is not beyond the realm of mortal things, no living creature can exist alone from the world, but sometimes, the destruction of the world can make something special.
This is a magical world, the so-called world will is real, such as the star spirit Elune who sleeps inside Azeroth in a way that mortals can't even imagine, of course, Elune is special and cannot be replicated, but it doesn't mean that there are no similar things in other worlds, this kind of transcendent life often undergoes a very big transformation when it realizes that it is about to die, and Marton's transformation is one of them.
Sargeras's casual blow knocked the planet into countless pieces, but perhaps it was the blessing of the will of the world, Marton was not completely broken, and even formed a special appearance, due to the shattering of the world barrier, it is much easier to cast space magic here than in other worlds, which means that the price of opening the world portal on this planet is much easier, and after realizing this, Sargeras placed a divine object in his hand in Marton, which was used to jump various worlds, making the road to destruction of the Burning Legion smootherγ
The artifact was called the Sagrete Keystone, in demonic language, the "Gate of the Worlds."
Even among the Burning Legion, few demons knew about the existence of the Sagrete Keystone, and after Dick told Illidan the name, the King of the Outlands personally interrogated the souls of almost all the high-level demons of Draenor in nearly 5 years of warfare, before finally confirming the existence of the Sagrete Keystone, and in order to cross the Endless Star Dome to Marton, he even did not hesitate to personally lead the team to attack the Naru Ship Storm Fortress.
Now, the Keystone is in sight, but Illidan is not in a hurry, because he has discovered something more "fun".
Mephisto's body had turned into a pile of minced flesh, a dozen huge, covered with crimson scales and a strange mane, with bony jaws, looking extremely terrifying, hungry demon dogs were feasting, the demon dogs cultivated with the flesh and blood of high-level demons were full of aggression and extremely loyal to Illidare, these wild and untamable monsters would be tamed even by the most powerful demon hunters and become mounts and hunting helpers.
Kane Sunwrath and Orturis the Afflicted stood by the throne of Illidan on the left and right, and the King of the Outlands was sitting on the throne in the form of an ordinary Night Elf, playing with a purple soul crystal in his hand, judging from the reflection in the cold light shining on the surface of the crystal, the wailing Memphisto was having a very bad time now... Very, very bad!
Illidan was known for his ruthlessness towards demons, and the first demon hunters he trained by his own hands would not be moved by the wails of a demon, in fact, for these poor people who had lost everything in the demon invasion, listening to this wail every day was simply the supreme melody of the world.
"Argus... Hehe, Dick is always like this... It's amazing that friends always have the most satisfying gifts when they need them most, and that their home base is in Argus. β
Illidan let out a low laugh full of amusement, "Kilgardan never trusted me, and even planted misinformation in Mathridon's memory to mislead me, but it's okay, we've got everything we need, Kane!"
"Yes, Lord Illidan!"
"Is there a coordinate to Argus in the star map of the Storm Fortress?"
"No, my lord, we searched several times, and found no star map to Argus, but I suspect that it was the work of the fleeing Draenei, who are said to have flown from Argus. β
"Oh... I see, it doesn't matter, Dick will help us get that star map!
"Yes, Lord Illidan!"
"Prepare the four legions of Crimson Fire Seal, Greytongue, Kusca, and Shiva Demon, we will raid the Keystone tomorrow, and send the cannon fodder back to Draenor, they won't be useful here, um... Let me think about it, send them to the Void Storm and build a starport there, Dick is right, there is only one ship, we can't do anything, this time we will capture at least one of Marton's evil ships! We must also have our own ship!"
"Yes, Lord Illidan!"
The King of the Outlands nodded, and threw the soul stone in his hand to Oturis,
"Oh, by the way, give this to Alailie, let that little girl return to Draenor with cannon fodder, by the way, go to the Panya Reservoir, Leothoras's condition can't be delayed any longer, it was a mistake to let him fuse that unstable soul in the first place, his talent is not weaker than yours, he should be the best warrior, not a madman who fights his own demons, but now he has a better choice, Memphisto has a great soul... By the way, tell Varedis, when we return victoriously, I want to see those weak demon addicts turn into iron warriors like you, or I'll send them into the Soul Box with my own hands!"
"Finally, some personal matters... Kane, I don't care what happens between you and Shahras, but you have to guard against that cunning female demon instead of showing her everything you have! That's stupid, and let Alaili give Gacios a message, the war is about to begin, and I need more troops, but I also know the hardships of Kael'thas and Sulama, so this time, even if it's all demonic elves! Marton's destruction will bring us hundreds of thousands of demonic souls, and I need to find enough carriers for them... Demon addicts, it's a good fit!"
