43. Awakening nightmares
"Ahh
Queen Salorath climbed the sands of the Broken Coast with difficulty, and behind her, the tide of the icy Endless Sea was crashing wildly against the shattered shore, and the Lady of Shadows had no regard for any manners, and she opened it and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with a trace of shocking fragments of internal organs.
In the previous final battle of the Doom of Surama, she was too close to the decisive battle of the Deceiver Knights of Damnation.
When the Knight of Damnation awakened the power of the land of Sulama, united Death and Shadow, and dealt a fatal blow to the fraudster, the terrifying power that came out of the catharsis only slightly spread, and the Ereda Twins felt a terrifying near-death experience, if it weren't for the collapse of the entire Suramar Plains in the Endless Sea later, I am afraid that Queen Salorath would have been completely torn apart in the hedge of the cathartic frenzy.
Queen Saloras, who was sitting on the beach with difficulty, looked back blankly at the strait that had just appeared in the darkness behind her, and looked at the Sulama Plains that had completely fallen under the sea, and a wave of grief and despair exploded in her heart, so that this high-level demon lady, who had seen countless worlds collapse and countless suns extinguished, couldn't help but cover her face.
Demons don't shed tears, that's because nothing can break the will of demons, but...
She cried.
Because of fear, because of the death of the fraudsters, because of witnessing yet another defeat of the Legion... The faith in my heart has been utterly shattered in the destruction of this night.
What the hell is going on in this hellish world, this evil world!!
The icy tide made a mocking sound, and in the midst of the wave of lapping and tumult, Queen Salorath looked up with a sense of feeling, and saw her sister, the poor high sorcerer Oresses, floating on her back in the water, being washed towards the beach, looking at her, as if she had fallen unconscious.
The female demon tried to summon her magic and save her sister, but the magic of the place was so disorganized by the collapse of Sulama and the explosion of the evil energy before the fraudster died that she could not even use the magic of the evil energy, and in desperation, Queen Salorath had no choice but to jump into the water, waving her hands in an awkward manner, swimming to her sister's side, and dragging her back to the beach.
And just as Salorath was about to wake up her sister, a gloomy figure sounded in the darkness behind her:
"Yo, isn't that the Great Lady of Shadows? Why did it end so miserably? ”
The gloomy tone, the damned sarcasm, made the Lady of Shadows jerk her head and she saw Banazar with a sinister smile and Tikdios with a mocking face, the two damned Dreadlords, flapping their wings and landing on the sands of the Broken Shore, unscathed, and apparently for the fallen Eredar Twins.
"Bastard!"
The moment Queen Salorath saw Banazal, the beautiful eyes of the Shadow Girl jumped with endless rage, and she cried out:
"You! It's you! You killed him! You killed Lord Kilgardan! ”
The strong sense of guilt surging in her heart, which came from a strange source, made Salorath lose the shackles of reason at this moment, she pulled out the dagger at her waist with her left hand, and rushed towards Banazar in a fearless attitude, but the twins who exist as spellcasters, in this scene of magic disorder, can exert combat power... It's too small.
"Bang"
The dagger of the Shadow Girl's second time was easily blocked by Banazal, and the Fear Demon King's fist waved, without any thought of pity at all, and smashed the Shadow Girl's jaw, smashing the tall Salorath into the air, and Tikdios, who was standing beside him, let out a long series of wicked laughs, he waved his claws, and slapped the Shadow Girl's abdomen without a trace of fat.
"Bang"
Poor Ereda Spellcaster stumbled to the sand like a baseball, her body tumbling on the sand for weeks, and just as she was about to get up, she was trampled on her waist by the cold, heavy demon hooves.
In front of her, Banazar played with a sharp magic dagger in his claws, and a trace of malice flashed on the white cheeks of the Dreadlord, and he looked down at Queen Salorath, and he said in a deep voice:
"Don't toast and don't eat, chick, where is the shield of Agrama? Hand it over! ”
"Nope!"
The Lady of Shadows gritted her teeth and scolded:
"You damned traitors! The Dark Titan won't let you go! You killed his most trusted lieutenant! You're dead! ”
"Tut-tut, it's more appropriate to leave this to you!"
Banazar sneered, and he glanced back at his companion, then turned to look at the somewhat deranged Queen Salorath, and said:
"I know you're not afraid of death, Salorath, and I know you consider yourself extremely loyal to the fraudsters, but now is not the time to discuss your loyalty, we just need the shield of Agrama, give it to us, and then let you and your sister go, you can go wherever you want!"
"Or, I'll kill her in front of you!"
In the midst of Banazal's fierce threat, Tikdios had already held the unconscious high-ranking sorcerer Oreses by the neck in his hands, and the terrible Dreadlord also used his sharp claws, full of malice, to scratch Oreses's pretty face, which was a self-evident threat.
"I've heard for a long time that you two sisters are in good shape, listen to me, Lady Saloras."
Banazal said in a seductive way:
"Feelings are not something that demons want to have, and with it, you are no longer qualified demons, so my friends and I don't mind helping you cut off this flaw tonight and make you a truly ruthless demon... Choose, choose, there is still a lot of time left for you, think carefully, I am sure, you will make the right decision. ”
After saying that, the Dreadlord took a step back and gave his freedom back to Queen Salorath, and at the moment when his sister's life was threatened, the high-ranking demon finally calmed down, Saloras touched the blood stains on the corner of her mouth, she looked at Banazar who was in her hands, and then at Oresace, who was held by the throat, and after a while, she took off the ring on her finger.
But before handing over the Agrama Shield to these Dreadlords, the Shadow Girl still had one of the biggest doubts that could not be solved, she looked at the Dreadlord in front of her, and she asked:
"You... Why are you doing this? Is Casanaty so confident that he will replace fraudsters? Something is wrong with this! If you were loyal to Casanatyr from the beginning, why should you be vain with me? You were going to kill me and my sister from the start..."
"yes, it doesn't all feel right, right? None of this makes sense, right? ”
Banazal sneered, he glanced at Tikdios beside him, he winked at his villain brother, as if playing a double reed, and deliberately said:
"Say, should we tell her the cruel truth?"
Tikdios snorted, and a malicious smile flashed in his vicious eyes, and he said:
"Oh no! To remove that code, you have to get the boss's consent, but... The two of them are useless and worthless, so whatever you want. ”
"Hehe, hahahaha."
Banazar let out a wicked smile that made the Shadow Girl uncomfortable, and the Dreadlord looked at Salorath in front of him, and he slowly took out a strange black crystal from his waist, tossed it up and down in his claws, and then squeezed out a strange smile at Salorath, and the next moment, the black crystal was suddenly crushed.
In the echo of the crisp sound that erupted like broken glass when the crystal shattered, the switch of a certain memory in Queen Salorath's mind was completely turned on at this moment.
Those dusty and vivid memories flooded into her mind, and Queen Salorath's face turned pale in an instant.
She recalled...
She and her sister had never participated in the raid on the fortress of Valagarh, nor had they seen Odin and Hela fight, nor had they ventured to steal the shield of Agrama from it!
She and her sister were placed in the laboratory on the top floor of Karazhan, and little by little they were dissected by the big lich with a smile on his face, not only in body, but also in soul...
She stood naked in front of the Grand Lord Tyrion, half-kneeling like the most docile pet, receiving orders...
How she cleverly passed on the wrong information to the fraudsters, luring her mentor to Azeroth and stepping into a trap...
At the top of the Frozen Throne, how her memories were once again altered, and once again became part of a conspiracy against the fraudsters...
How she was obedient to get the Cursed Throat from Kasanatir, and how she watched with a blank face as the Dreadlords deliberated on their plot to surrender...
It's all fake!
No, no, no, it's all true, but for her, it's fake!
"Bang"
The glazed-eyed Salorath fell to her knees on the sand, her eyes wide open, and there was no thought in them, like a real walking corpse.
She finally understood why the plans of these Dreadlords were crippled, pale, and childish no matter how they looked.
Because she, she and her sister, are the most important link in this vicious conspiracy, it is the two of them who are driving the events with their own hands, and it is the two of them who pass the wrong information to the fraudsters, and finally lead to all this.
It was the two of them who sent their mentors to the entrance of hell with their own hands.
What's even worse is that in the retrospection of those memories, she saw a huge conspiracy that lasted for more than ten years, a conspiracy that almost enveloped the entire stars, the entire Burning Legion, and almost impossible to exist... A conspiracy aimed at subverting the Legion.
"You..."
"You've rebelled a long time ago..."
The Shadow Daughter muttered to herself:
"From before the start of this war, you have... Akmund was killed by you! Kilgardan was also killed by you... Oh my God, oh my God... You've destroyed the Legion, and you've succeeded, oh my God..."
"Oh no, my dear lady Saloras."
Like a gentleman at this moment, Banazal stepped forward slowly, knelt down on one knee before the Shadow Woman, stretched out his sharp claws, lifted the lady's delicate chin, he looked at the blank eyes, and he whispered:
"It's not us who ruined the Legion, it's us... You have also done your part, so the merciful Lord Tyrion will reward you and you... That's what you crave most, freedom! ”
"My lord, let me tell you, your mission is over, two ladies, go, go find a place where no one knows you, spend the rest of your life well, and stop getting involved in these damn conspiracies."
"Oh, by the way, considering that both of you ladies are people who like to go to extremes, I would like to remind you that every time you want to pass this conspiracy back to Argus and tell the Dark Titans, you might as well think again..."
"Were you awake at that time? Or are we deliberately trying to make you do that..."
Banazal laughed and picked up the ring that had rolled off the ground, and he deliberately snapped his fingers, which made Saloras's face change drastically, like a frightened little girl, and his hands grabbed the cold sand reef, and he kept stepping back.
"Oh, yes, that's it!"
The Dreadlord stood up, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face:
"Remember this fear, ma'am, all it takes is a snap of your fingers, and everything you have will no longer belong to you... If you don't want to wake up one day and find yourself strangling your most precious sister to death, then honestly hide to the side! ”
"In the next war, pray that your hands will not be stained with blood."
After saying that, Banazar flapped her wings and flew into the dark night with Tikdios, while Queen Salorath was lonely and slumped on the beach, she looked at her hands, those hands that were very clean washed by the sea, but in the eyes of the Lady of Shadows, these hands were already stained with Kil'Gardan's blood, they...
There's no going back.
It was a nightmare, and now, the nightmare has awakened... However, that was only the beginning of another nightmare.
In the light of the dawn of the Broken Beach, Queen Salorath struggled to carry her unconscious sister on her back, and she silently walked to the depths of the island, where the skull badge representing the High Commander of the Burning Legion, as well as everything that could indicate the identity of the Twins, were incinerated to ashes by the Shadow Fire.
After all this nightmare, they were lucky enough to have each other.
Now that the big guy who pointed at the Dark Titan has given them a new life, so...
Just as he wanted.
The Ereda Twins died, and they were buried with their mentor in Surama, in the Endless Sea, and they were never seen again.
They're looking for a place to escape all these nightmares...
Even if they search for the stars, even if they break through the dimension, they must find them!
