The powerful magical energy imprisoning spell instantly enveloped Khadgar's afterimage at a speed invisible to the naked eye. And the center of this afterimage is the gap between time and space. That is, the source of distorting time and space.

However, unwilling to be defeated, the demon quickly launched a second round of attacks, relying on the form of an afterimage, and a series of shadow arrows were sent from the fingertips of "Khadgar". Shadowbolts were accompanied by a rain of meteorites falling from the sky. The Void Demon wants to tear apart this human mage in front of him, he is too proud and contemptuous of everything, and the demon does not allow any mortal to be above it.

However, after all, Luo Ning preemptively released the magic energy imprison spell, and the demon's attack was weakened, only to see that a second before the meteorite rain and shadow arrows attacked, Archmage Luo Ning of Dalaran shouted, and a domineering light emanated from the crystal staff in his hand, enveloping Luo Ning in an instant like a curtain. In the next second, countless flaming meteorites and shadow arrows exploded on the periphery of the magic barrier as if they had hit a wall of air, making a deafening sound.

The brilliant light of the energy explosion was like the second sun in the sky, and the alliance soldiers under the tower looked up at this light wave, and the purple magic energy mixed with the blue spell energy quickly spread out around the top of the tower.

However, the battle is not over yet, and the demon struggles to break free from his bondage. It's just that Ronin won't give it a chance to struggle. Dragging his heavy body, he walked step by step into the afterimage of Khadgar. And the afterimage is slowly revealing its prototype under the effect of spells - a demon with red flames burning all over its body.

Ronin approached it. The staff in his hand once again glowed with a brilliant blue light. It was an endless cold frost spell, and there was a hint of horror in the demon's eyes. However, it still does not give up its last chance. Gathering all the magic energy, he pulled Luo Ning into the confinement spell circle, and a pair of deformed demon hands instantly grabbed Luo Ning's shoulders, and Luo Ning adjusted the angle of the staff at this moment. While being grabbed by the demon, the staff rich in frost energy pierced the demon's body like a sharp sword.

A terrible wail was heard, and the demon in front of him quickly switched between the Khadgar afterimage and the demon's body.

Then, its body gradually solidified, and the ice energy poured into the demon's body, and countless frozen lines like spider webs could be seen emerging from the part where the demon was pierced by the staff, and quickly spread to the demon's body, and the frost spell froze the demon's muscles and froze the demon's blood. Gradually, the scorching flames on the surface of the demon's body were extinguished. It turned into a pile of scrap metal, lying on the ground, on the top of the tower.

"Archmage ......"

The magician's apprentice ran over, and he saw that Ronin had also been injured in this spell duel. His shoulder was scratched by the demon's claws with a black scar. An evil black rune wriggled across his left shoulder, like a worm yearning for fresh flesh, burrowing into his heart.

Gasping for a heavy breath, Ronin raised his uninjured right hand, trying to stop the spread of this dark power with pure arcane energy. But it doesn't work well, and the arcane energy can only control it, not cure it.

Thankfully, warped planes are returning to normal. In just a few minutes, Luo Ning and the magician's apprentice witnessed the evolution of this tower for more than ten years, the top of the tower was covered with red dust and dirt in an instant, and the body of the tower was quickly covered with red mud and sand, and cracked slightly, forming countless tiny cracks, extending downward, as if it had really stood in the Gobi for twenty years. The souls of the Alliance soldiers below the tower were rapidly dissipating, and there was no doubt that their souls were finally freed after the temporal vortex was closed. didn't even have time to say thank you, and these alliance veterans left this world completely.

And as the warp time and space became normal, the soldiers of the expeditionary force on the ruins in the distance finally saw the whole picture of this fortress. They saw a magical tower standing in the middle of the ruins. Before, they had no idea that there was a tower. The crowd stood up, and they saw that in the red sand mist, their leader, Ronin, was limping as he was being helped by his apprentice.

"Archmage ......"

"Your looks?"

Dalaran's soldiers asked with concern. They had just rested on the ruins for three hours, and how could their archmage leader, Luo Ning, suddenly age so much after he came out?

"I'm fine, my life has passed a little in the showdown with the demons. But don't worry, I can't die. For the sake of the Alliance, for the sake of Winlessa, I will not die. The passage of life is normal, I am just a little bit ahead. Also, I just found the diary left by a former Union expeditionary force soldier in the tower. This is an important source of information for us. ”

In the face of everyone's concern, Luo Ning waved his hand weakly, saying that he was fine, his appearance was not the most important thing, the important thing was that he was still alive. Then, he took out an old notebook from his bosom. It records the stories that took place on this continent twenty years ago - war and survival, disaster and darkness. More importantly, in this diary, an important place is pointed out - Shattras, the city of light. Perhaps knowing that his injuries could only be healed by some strange creature in Shattrath City, Ronin already knew what to do next.

"What's in the diary?"

The warriors asked anxiously.

"Records the battle that took place here twenty years ago, when it was once the base of the First Expeditionary Force of the Alliance, and the orcs attacked it. The warriors fought bloodily and held the base, however, at this moment, the sky collapsed, and many portals appeared in front of them in an instant. Some jumped in, while others chose to stay. The diary records the last destination of the survivors, a city called Shattrath. The diary even recorded the general location of the city. It's just that the author of this diary doesn't seem to have taken refuge in that city with the army after all, and I don't know why. Brothers, there are only two things we have to do next. First, find the recorded city of light. Second, finding Ares and his large army, I have a hunch that defeating the Burning Legion and closing the portal to the entire Outlands can only be done after finding the city. ”

Dragging his weak body, Luo Ning said tiredly.

The corners of his mouth were bloodless, and the only priest in the party gave him healing prayers, but they were equally ineffective. The demon's continuous damage spell was too powerful for even the Holy Priest to dispel.

And Ronin himself knew that before he could find Shattrath, he would probably have to fight against this force for a long time.
