Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Twisted Gate
"Khadgar, the portal must be closed, or we have no hope!"
Ares shouted. With a swing of his sword, he slashed at a demon's shoulder, and the Ember Bringer sliced from the demon's shoulder to his waist before kicking it down.
Khadgar was not far away, and the archmage was at a loss at the moment, beads of sweat on his forehead, and a large number of demons were surrounding him. Clearly, the commander of the Burning Legion is clever enough to see who is the leader in this army. Varian, Ares, Illidan, and Khadgar have all become the targets of the demon's focused "care". Almost no one can get out.
"Ares, go and call Varian and Illidan, we must kill at the foot of the portal, I'll cast a spell and transfer them!"
After a few minutes of fighting, Khadgar finally came up with a solution to his dilemma. He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted at the paladin beside him.
The situation is chaotic on the battlefield, and Ares has no way to summon them. Sylvanas can only do the work for her, the Windranger is faster, she can travel through the army without being injured by the enemy, although Ares can also do it, but she has to kill it all the way slowly, too slowly, so that by the time the news reaches Varian and Illidan, the demons will already be all over the land.
After taking the task, Sylvanas sped like the wind. Her supple body weaved through the demon horde, leaping and shooting an arrow at the head of a demon, then pulling out an arrow and killing a hellhound with another arrow. Two demon guards lunged at her. Sylvanas waved his hunting bow and pulled out two elven blades from his back, and when the demon guard's hammer attacked, Sylvanas stabbed the demon through the demon's waist with two knives with a nimble dodge. When the other demon guard pounced, the Windranger stepped on the dead demon corpse, one turned around, and jumped on top of the demon guard's head, two short blades resting on the demon's neck, and one slit the demon's throat.
Ten minutes later, Varian and Illidan came to Khadgar's side. The task of closing the portal once again fell on the gray-haired "old wizard". Khadgar first stared at the entire array of demons with an ice spell, and then Varian, Illidan, and Ares roared towards the gap.
Demon hunters, paladins, and warriors form a new battlefield combination, and countless demons fly in front of the three of them. The Aesinos blade angrily slashed at a demon, the demon raised its weapon to block, but the Aesinos blade violently cut off the enemy's weapon, and slashed the demon's arm, accompanied by the demon's splattered blood, Illidan roared angrily, turned his body, and the two demon blades danced wildly, cutting the body of the demon guard in half!
Varian roared and slashed, blocking the demon's falling scythe with one sword and piercing the opponent's abdomen with the other. Before the other demon pounced, Varian angrily drew his sword, sideways to dodge the demon's slash, and stabbed the opponent's head with a sword, and the demon's blood suddenly spurted out of the broken helmet......
Ares prayed devoutly, the holy light enveloped him, shrouded the battlefield, the ash bringer sword by sword, and almost no demon could block the full force of the paladin's blow. With a dazzling golden light, the Zealous Sword slashed at a demon, and the nearby demon guards also ignited with scorching sacred fire, screaming and annihilating in the fury of the Holy Light. The sword of justice is like the judgment of the gods, knocking down and killing the demons in front of them. Divine flames rained down from the sky, like messengers of God, and wherever Ares went, holy light flashed, slaying demons and healing the wounds of Varian and Illidan.
The trio were followed by Illidan's most trusted demon hunters, as well as the best warriors of the Alliance's Seventh Legion.
Like a glittering sword, it pierced into the heart of the Burning Army. The black demon army surrounded them, and with each step forward, the demon guards became denser, and the portal was in front of them, it was like a huge whirlpool on the black sea, constantly teleporting demons and various void creatures.
"We're going to succeed, hold on a little longer!"
Ares let out a roar of rage, and the Ember Bringer parried off a demon's hammerhead, and behind him, Varian stabbed it in the back with a sword. The tip of the sword pierced through the demon's abdomen, and everyone's face and body were stained with thick demonic blood. The blood of these demons is intensely corrosive, corroding their armor and skin. However, everyone is persistent. Because Khadgar has already started casting spells.
A dazzling blue light hit the huge black vortex in the portal, and under Khadgar's painful expression, the portal rippled black, like the ripples that spread on the surface of the sea, although no one knew the principle of this spell, but everyone was desperately trying to protect Khadgar, protect him from the demon's attack, and concentrate on casting spells.
Gradually, the alliance team that had penetrated into the heart of the Burning Legion was completely cut off from the outside world. The demons surrounded Ares and his party, the warriors from the outside world could no longer enter, and the inside could not get out, looking down from the air, the two circles surrounded each other, the outside world, the coalition of 100,000 alliances and Illidare besieged the demon army, and the inner circle, the number of demon armies like ant colonies besieged the death squad led by Varian and Illidan.
The sound of countless weapons colliding with armor was heard, soldiers were fighting, bleeding, archmages casting spells, this was the final blow.
Put all one’s eggs in one basket. The expression on Khadgar's face was contorted with pain. It was enveloped in a dark shadow, the dark spell of demons that sought to corrupt Khadgar's soul, to make it fall, to make it bloodthirsty, to lose its mind.
But Khadgar had the power of the spell under control, and perhaps he was the only one in the room who could do it......
Gradually, the dark vortex in the center of the portal became calm, as if ripples had disappeared from the water, and the entire portal and the periphery had become a stagnant water.
However, it is not just to take it under control, not to shut it down.
"The end has come, demon!"
Finally, Khadgar roared, his hands violently exerted, and the magic power of his whole body was concentrated at one point, and with the violent energy surge of the pillar of light, the dark vortex in the center of the portal stopped rotating. A group of demons who were passing through the portal were instantly pulled back by a powerful force, and the tragic cries of these demons echoed in the air.
The demonic portal was closed, and the coalition forces let out a roar of victory, and Illidare and the Alliance generals swooped down on the Burning Legion in high spirits.
"You've succeeded, the portal is closed!"
Varian let out a cry of surprise.
"No, it wasn't closed, I just changed the location of the portal teleportation to Void Storm." Khadgar swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued—"It's cold, it's desolate, there's nothing, not even land, and the demons teleport there, and there's only a dead end. But the portal doesn't close......"
Khadgar didn't say anything more about the second half of the sentence, but both Varian and Ares knew what he meant—the battle had been won for the time being, but this rift in time and space was an eternal hazard, and there was no telling when the demon would cast another spell and change the teleportation location, and at that time, Oakington was still a place where the legions were stationed......
