Chapter 19: The Battle of the Demon Slayer (Part II)
A few days ago, Felwood Forest.
β...... Thank you so much for your kindness, master!"
"Go ahead, do what you're supposed to do, I don't want to be bothered until the plan is complete. β
Tikdios, who was prostrate on the ground, sent away Akmund's consciousness very reverently and respectfully, and when he looked up, the excitement, excitement, and incomparable madness on his face made the Sartyrs around him feel as if something was wrong.
But soon, those satyrs were stunned to see the invincible Nasrezm in front of him, who couldn't wait to levitate a skull that they had wildly wanted but knew they were too weak to touch, and that was the skull of Gul'dan, which contained a huge amount of demonic energy.
Originally, Tikdios wanted to dedicate this artifact to his master Akmund, but when Akmund's consciousness came, he did not accept this power, because in the latter's view, he wanted to accept the power of the World Tree, so as to promote the Titan, and now it is dispensable to absorb the power of a Gul'dan Skull, in the plan of the World Tree at his fingertips, he has to secretly do something to drag down those annoying lizards, after all, he himself has caused a well-known movement when he entered Azeroth, and now if he wants to accept this power, it will delay the time of his perfect planγ Although this power was a bit of an increase for him, it was too small compared to obtaining the power of Azeroth's origin through the World Tree, so he simply rewarded this loyal subordinate directly, so that he could complete his task more conveniently.
Thus, Akmund somehow doubled the size of Tikdios's body in order to more easily accept and absorb the full power of Gul'dan's skull.
And then now it happened with "history" In a completely different situation, due to Illidan's involvement in the conflict with the Warsong Clan in the Ashen Valley and delaying the arrival time, Tikdios easily obtained the Skull of Gul'dan, and at the same time obtained the permission and assistance of Akmund, which allowed him to fly directly into the air with the Skull of Gul'dan, and the dark green energy stream continued to pour out of the skull, and was immediately absorbed into the body by the greedy and extremely eager Tikdios who became extremely eager due to the emptiness of energy after the expansion of the capacity of his body!
The evil magic energy seemed to have broken free from the "bondage" of the skull, the sky was crying, the earth was trembling, the sky and the earth of Felwood Forest were instantly painted with evil colors, and the vicious energy was overflowing, destroying the original forest ecology, countless creatures were brutally killed because of the leakage of this huge magic energy, and even the strongest tree people began to be corrupted and degraded by the power of demons.
The pure river that originally nurtured life also became like viscous magma full of magical energy, and the aquatic creatures that inhabited it either died on the spot or became extremely violent, they frantically attacked their own kind, devoured their own kind to gain more and more powerful energy, but dozens of minutes later, as Tikdios gradually mastered new powers, the river that was originally full of magical energy also began to die, becoming a pool of stagnant water, and the creatures inside also completely sank like dead things that had been drained of their vitality......
The changes in the rivers of the Felwood Forest are just a microcosm, this forest can be said to be dead, the surviving trees have become plants that only produce poisonous gases, and the originally calm water elements have become extremely angry, and the happiest should belong to those who have defected to the demons early, especially for Tikdios "standing guard" The Sartre, because they seemed to be the closest to them, seemed to have the favor of their new masters, and they shared more magical energy than their kind, and even the slightest trace made them taller, stronger, and more evil in an instant!
At the same time, Santis Hazuki, who was fighting on the front line, felt that something was wrong, and after those demons became more and more excited and powerful, after knowing that she was invincible and paid a certain price, she decisively gave the order to retreat, and the main force of the Night Elves who resisted in the Fyerwood Forest returned to Mount Hyjal through their secret passages in an organized manner, and they will join the defense system of Mount Hyjal to enrich the rear defense that was originally a little empty......
And by the time Illidan arrived at Felwood Forest, it was already a day later.
When Illidan discovered that the concentration of magic in the Felwood Forest was much higher than he had expected, he sensed that something was wrong, and when he followed the clues provided by the Death Knight, Tikdios had been hovering in mid-air for a day. The whole day had been undisturbed, and with the faithful servants standing guard for him, he had absorbed almost all the energy in Gul'dan's skull.
Today's Tikdios has stepped into the realm of legends with one foot with the amount bonus of Gul'dan's skull, and has directly crossed several thresholds from the initial level of epic to the quasi-legendary stage, which makes Tikdios very satisfied!
Of course, this demigod does not refer to those wilderness demigods who have a very ambiguous hierarchy, if they are really divided according to their strength, the power level of the wilderness demigods is just epic, but because they have been blessed by the Titans, they have such a name, the real strength ...... The existence of a demigod like Cenarius is the best proof of this.
In Azeroth, the real demigod level is that in addition to the last artificial guardian Medivan of the flesh, the father of Cenarius, and the high guardians in Ulduar, the rest are old yin people such as the Elder Gods, and even those five-colored dragon kings are just the pinnacle of legends.
After feeling a slight change around him, Tikdios's body slowly fell, as if showing off his new power, his body completed the bat disappearance in an instant, and then re-solidified in the next second and stopped beside Illidan who was hiding in the bushes two hundred yards away, he put his arm on the latter's shoulder, grinned, and then slowly opened his eyes, the green glow flashed with the rich evil energy, he said proudly: " Oh, who did I think it could be, a lowly betrayer, a lowly creature who has received the blessing of Lord Sargeras, and who you also want to receive the supreme reward of your master?"
Illidan secretly screamed badly, even if he hurried slowly, he was still a step late, facing a legendary-level fear demon king, Illidan, who wanted to secretly observe the situation, tried his best to hide his body and get closer, but he didn't expect the other party's strength to increase so quickly after he found out
Myself. But fortunately, his identity as an undercover agent has not been revealed.
"Hmph, boring thing, are you stupid by my power? It's really boring......" Tikdios saw that Illidan didn't reply for a long time, and then said disdainfully: "...... Forget it, you, traitor, if you still want a little reward, send me to the Ashen Valley to help Manolos win, I don't want any surprises in my master's plans!"
So in order not to expose himself, Illidan turned his head in silence and left, and after confirming that he was out of Tikdios' sight, he sped in the direction of Ashendale...... Illidan, who returned to Ashenvale, did not meet with Edlan and them immediately, he used the power of the same origin as the demon in his body to quietly reconnoitre, and after confirming that he could not complete the assassination of Manolos on his own, he lurked beside the other party, ready to deal a fatal blow to the abyss lord......
Then, when he realized that it seemed that those allies could kill the Abyss Lord without having to do it himself, he was relieved, and was about to return to the Forest of Felwood to get the information of the legendary Dreadlord, when the technique of Tikdios, which Illidan had experienced up close, appeared around him like a mage flashing spell again!
If Illidan hadn't experienced it once in advance, he wouldn't have been able to detect the subtle spatial distortion and change at all. And because Illidan regarded Edlan's promise to strengthen him stronger with the gifts of the Holy Light and the Red Dragon Legion as his last straw, he subconsciously shouted "Be careful......
Now, both sides are gearing up for another battle.
Tikdios casually glanced at Illidan, who had been hiding in the corner and never appeared, and said disdainfully: "Humble betrayer, just now I was reminding me of this unsuccessful colleague. β
After being targeted by Tikdios with malice, Illidan felt like a frog targeted by a poisonous snake, except for the instinctive fear of wanting to escape, he couldn't raise the slightest idea of resistance, not to mention that he was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of going undercover, and he couldn't come out to express his position at this time! If he stood with the demon now, it didn't matter if others misunderstood him, and if he was misunderstood by Tyrande, then this would be the biggest blow to Illidan, so he must endure the humiliation now, and he must return the demon with a tooth for a tooth in the future! Therefore, Illidan restricts his aura to the extreme, and constantly adjusts his position......
Tik Dios ...... You! You've got such a powerful power......" Manolos' voice trembled a little, because not only did he see that Tikdios had become larger, more powerful, and the energy in his body was several times higher than his own!
Damn it! This guy who can only engage in conspiracy has been appreciated by his master and has been given such great power!
And a group of mortal powerhouses looked at Tikdios, who was high up in the sky, like the arrival of a demon king, unreservedly exuding their aura and showing their strength, they were nervously prepared, and they did not dare to relax at all. The soldiers of the coalition also retreated after the army of demons and undead took the initiative to stop, and the two sides very "tacitly" set aside a large open area for these strong men to fight.
The fear, fear, and even despair on the faces of mortals against themselves were all in Tikdios's eyes, and the fact that the fool who had been pointing fingers at him as the master's lieutenant was also dissatisfied, unwilling, jealous, and trembling in the face of his power, made him feel extremely happy.
"Hahaha, it is an honor for you ants to die in the power of the master's gift...... Then die," Tikdios waved his hand, and the overwhelming green gas rushed towards the crowd on the ground with his swing!
Rancid bug swarm!
This was originally the Dreadlord's housekeeping skill, summoning a swarm of tiny and vicious poisonous insects from other dark worlds to frantically suck the flesh of the target they came into contact with until the target turned into a shriveled body or waited for the duration of the skill to end.
And now, after Tikdios entered the legendary realm, he was able to summon more poisonous insects, larger size, and stronger abilities, and even some poisonous insects would directly use some attacks such as eye edges to fix their prey first, and then go over to slowly "enjoy", and these poisonous insects also have an unknown protective shield on their bodies to ensure that they will not be easily killed.
The mortal heroes looked at each other and immediately began to act as if they were aware of each other.
The poisonous insect attacked, despite so many enhancements, but in the face of the united mortal powerhouse, Kael'thas, Modra, and even Gianna and Romans The four mages quickly cast their clone spells and scattered and separated, they all chose to use a range of fire magic, and a veritable fire wave instantly rose from the ground, burning this poisonous insect completely and quickly accurately!
At the same time, Sylvanas also fired her bow continuously, this time she replaced the arrows, using the penetrating and explosive black arrows and explosive arrows! The arrows pierced through the "wall of fire" caused by the fire magic, and flew straight towards Manolos!
Yes, it's Manolos, not Tikdios. Everyone could see each other's intentions at that glance, because their cooperation was enough to kill Manolos before, so now the goal remains the same, and kill the Abyss Lord as quickly as possible, and then transfer all the firepower to deal with the Dreadlord who made their scalps tingle!
Of course, the reaction of the mortals was so straightforward, Tikdios laughed heartily, and without moving, he just relied on his protective shield to resist the rounds of magic bombardment of several mages, but he didn't hold it up, and from time to time he casually threw out a few unknown energy balls and smashed them at those mages, making them jump up and down like circus clowns to amuse themselves.
Manolos, on the other hand, was furious, and of course it could see what these ants meant, and although it had not been rewarded by its master, it was still the leader of the Abyss Lord, Lord Akmund's most loyal lieutenant, and the overseer who had destroyed countless worlds!
With such a powerful ability, it was actually looked down upon?
Tikdios, of course, was happy to see his colleagues who had been at his head deflated, and he watched with great interest as Manolos's whole body began to turn red, not only in its weapons, but also in its open palms, a storm of evil energy was brewing, which was denser than ordinary evil energy storms, and it was visible to the naked eye as if the energy had been completely materialized.
This kind of evil storm should have been "launched" with a weapon, after all, this thing still hurts himself very much, so when Manolos used his palm to brew the second evil storm in a berserk state, Tikdios knew that his colleagues were annoyed and angry, and hummed, those mortals are going to be unlucky!
Just as Manolos was brewing a killing move, Mavi and Serra jumped out of the shadow again, this time they attacked in a more tricky position, hitting the back of Manolos's neck! But when they just made two strokes and were about to fall back into the shadow and continue to attack, the nimble Abyss Lord shook his body while tightening the batwing behind him to protect the back of his neck! This made Mavi and Serra unable to even leave a single scar on the sturdy bat wing in the next difficult attack!
But the two watchers no longer attacked monotonously, they threw out the toxin throwing knives hidden in the wide robes, and inserted them into the side back of the abyss lord with "do-......do-do-doe"! This is a special poison made by the watchers, more terrible than the toxins applied to the annular moon blade, the weapons are mainly mixed toxins that restrict the effective movement of the enemy, including the three toxins of slowing, injuring and paralyzing, but even a little bit of the terrible toxin on the throwing knives can poison a mammoth!
However, this toxin not only has no effect on the Abyss Lord, but only arouses its anger even more, but it is accumulating and compressing energy, and there is no extra effort to deal with the two annoying bugs behind it, as long as the evil storm is ready, trampling those ants to death is this trick.
At the same time that several heroes and epic-level powerhouses and demons were fighting back and forth, the mages of the Magister and Dalaran began to cast spells together, and under the persecution of the invincible enemy, the two caster groups who were not accustomed to each other began to cooperate sincerely, and all the casters began to disperse and stand in their positions, and the chanting began!
"Huh?" Tikdios was very keenly aware of the retreat of the mortal army in the distance, and they were actually trying to cast a combined spell in units of 1,000 people?He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and said, "What if those guys are just dragging their feet?In terms of mortal intelligence, this is kind of interesting...... But it always feels like there's something missing...... Forget Manolos, did you find out? Then crush those ants. β
There was no need for Tikdios to remind him, Manolos had long wanted to kill those ants, and only by killing more ants who dared to resist could he deter other things that didn't know whether to live or die, and to make them understand who was the master! So it was very focused when compressing energy this time, and it would never make a low-level mistake like before and be knocked out by that damn paladin! An ant actually hurt itself!!
"Feel the wrath of the Burning Legion" Manolos thrust forward with both hands, and blasted a violent and massive storm of evil energy from its long-handled weapons and palms! The target of the storm was the group of mages who were working together, and the forests along the way, as well as the rocks lifted from the ground, were crushed and turned into powder in the face of this raging storm...... Manolos could even see from the two deep ravines that had been peared out of the ground, and in two seconds the lowly creatures in the distance would have turned to dust like the ground and the forest!
But a thick golden shroud full of disgusting energy that even demons felt disgusted was generated out of thin air, resisting the two storms of evil energy that seemed to destroy the world and the earth! The moment the two energies collided, there was a violent surge, and the fierce light and continuous waves of qi destroyed the original natural environment one after another, just like the scene of the end of the world after a meteorite hit the earth......
Liadline stood in the center of the Light Barrier Circle, constantly suffering from the damage caused by the energy infusement, and like many others, she was bleeding all over her body, and along with hundreds of other clerics, she struggled to maintain this shield of holy light. This kind of temporary joint spell casting is not like the time when Anaheim City was launched to avoid the natural disaster, there were magic circle nodes as a guarantee and energy, and the consumption of this kind of multi-person joint spell that was purely filled by manpower was very large, this was originally a "protective array" prepared to withstand the key attack of Tikdios, but it ushered in the attack of Manolos, although the consumption was a little lower than expected, but the priests still received a lot of backlash damage.
But for the sake of defeating the demons, it's worth it!
Tikdios's expression finally returned to normal, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see who was behind the barrier against the storm of evil energy. Characteristics and estimation of basic strength are basic skills, so when he glanced at the priests who had stepped forward to cover the mage's joint spellcasting, he was a little puzzled, not because he noticed that the combined spell had suddenly changed enough to threaten him, but because in that barrier of holy light, he didn't see the human paladin who almost killed Manolos that made him feel a little interesting before.
This made Tikdios look twice, and said to himself: "Well, it's kind of interesting, just a human paladin, where are you hiding?" As if he had been bored for a long time and found something interesting, he was looking around for a place to hide in the almost seamless coordination of the two epic mages and the two hero mages.
But at this moment, what Tikdios didn't expect was a strange sound of breaking the air roaring down from the sky, and it came in an instant! A golden meteor that appeared completely out of thin air smashed into the top of Manolos's head out of thin air with lightning speed! In the next second, a golden meteor that seemed to be able to melt everything fell to the ground, smashing out a huge pit full of holy energy......
"Are you looking for me, demon!"
Edlan burst out of the pit with the energy of the Holy Light, shaking his dizzy head to clear himself, while the headless body of Manolos fell to the ground behind him......
