Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Guardian
"For Azeroth!"
Ares roared and charged in the direction the swarm was pounced on. The Ember Bringer suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light, and the ground beneath the paladin's feet burst into flames, and the blade of the sword stabbed at a reptile in front of him, and the head of the reptile exploded like a time bomb, and the green insect liquid poured down like rain.
Before he had time to think about it, Ares took advantage of the situation to pull out his big sword and slash out an arc in the air, the golden light flashed, and the two insects that pounced on him were instantly cut off by their claws, and they retreated with a scream. Another spider-like bug tried to attack with a size advantage, but was forced back by Ares with the power of the Holy Light, and the light enveloped the paladin, and the next moment, the Ember Bringer was raised high and split the beetle's carapace with incredible force.
The disgusting insect fluid splashed around again.
Dai Lin also used all his strength to meet the enemy, and the two pistols fired the bullets at a rapid pace, until the swarm approached, and the admiral had to draw his sword and fight at close range. He chopped off the head of one bug with a single sword, while the other worm bit his calf, but fortunately the shin guards protected the delicate muscles and tendons of the calf. The larvae's teeth were also not sharp, leaving only a row of tiny marks on Dalin's shins.
The next moment, Dalin pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the larva's head at close range, shooting him in the head. The larval-green insect fluid suddenly splashed on Dai Lin's face.
The terrifying image shocked Dai Lin.
However, the encounter has only just begun.
More bugs poured in from all directions, and the sound of countless tentacles rubbing against the ground could be heard all around.
Gianna held her tired body and released the ice barrier, and a blue circle of light was released from the archmage's hand, instantly freezing the front wave of insect swarms to the ground. With the release of the ice barrier, it was another range of lethal spells, the air suddenly became cold, Gianna's side, the hoarfrost spread in circles, and the next moment, countless ice arrows composed of cold ice appeared behind the archmage, and as Gianna made a gesture of advancement, countless ice arrows were sent out from behind the archmage, hitting the insect swarm in front of him.
The air was filled with the sound of ice blades piercing through the carapace. For a moment, hundreds of beetles standing in front of Gianna were pierced by the cold frost sword.
However, the loss of hundreds of bugs is nothing to mention for a swarm. These primitive creatures, devoid of individual consciousness and no sense of neurotouch, continued to launch a brainless attack on the trio team. Even more terrifying than orcs is that these insects don't know fear, they don't feel pain, even if you cut their bodies in half, they still don't feel pain, and as long as they are still mobile, they will still pounce on you......
Gianna was exhausted, and she and her father were back-to-back, relying on a few simple spells to protect themselves. And the bullets in Dalin's pistol are also gone. The old captain fought with all his might, and this is how the pit daddy ...... Teleported, but didn't have enough mana to return. And Ares is also too busy to take care of himself, the paladin can fight hundreds of bugs alone, but he can't kill a passage in the swarm. Every time a bug is killed, more bugs fill its place, so dense that you barely have time to stop and rest.
"Ares, behind you!"
Daillin shouted, and as Ares turned, a giant spider twice as tall as a human appeared in front of him, ready to reach out the giant claws of the scissors and cut off his body. Sticky saliva was dripping from its disgusting mouth. But before the spider could pounce, Ares had already taken a step ahead and rolled under the spider, and the Ash Bringer stabbed upward, and in the rolling flames, a large hole was poked out of the blood spider's abdomen, and the disgusting internal organs and liquid flowed down the abdomen.
Gradually, the insect swarm became denser and denser, surrounding the three of them in the middle, and almost every inch of land was densely packed with insect claws.
Dense rubbing of limbs was heard, and Ares seemed to hear the voice of death......
However, there always seems to be a certainty. Just when the three of them were besieged to the point of desperation, the sky resounded with the sound of an empty and deep incantation. Gianna immediately felt this power, the energy of magic, a hundred times more powerful than the energy in her body.
It was an incomparably powerful force, and Gianna listened attentively, an ancient spell she had never heard before. But so powerful.
Suddenly, an incomparably bright blue light appeared in front of him. The power of magic exploded at this moment, like a huge wave of the surging sea, spreading the energy out in the form of a shock wave, and for a while, the earth was dusty, and the three thousand Angela beetles surrounding Gianna and Ares were suddenly shocked and shattered by this shock wave. The insects that were close to the center of the magic explosion were directly shattered, and the severed limbs and arms fell from the sky. The bugs that were far away from the encirclement were also blown away by this magical energy and thrown far away......
Just as the three of them were surprised by this magical scene, a figure gradually appeared from the central light curtain of the explosion of magical energy.
When the light dimmed a little longer, Ares and Gianna could see clearly that it was a female wizard. She wore a tall mage hat and a black demonic cloak on her back, and she was tall, but her face looked a little vicissitudes.
"You are?"
Gianna asked in surprise. Dalin, on the other hand, clenched her sword, watching out for the sudden intruder, even as she helped her break out of the siege and kill the swarm.
"Magna. Egwen. ”
The sorceress took off her mage hat and said calmly. With a smile on her lips, she looked at Gianna with a caring look. And when the sorceress finished saying her name, everyone felt a shock in their hearts.
Egwen, the most powerful human mage Azeroth has ever seen, and the mother of the last guardian, the Astral Archmage Medivan. At the same time, he is also the only one in Azeroth who dares to take on the Burning Legion's dominance of Sargeras head-on.
Such an identity can naturally explain everything that happened just now. Three thousand bugs are naturally a great threat to ordinary humans, but here in Egwen, it's just a piece of cake.
"Guardian ......"
Gianna exclaimed. Her gaze stayed on Egwene, looking at every inch of her skin and every outfit in surprise, as if she wanted to find out what was different about her, however, after looking at it for a long time, she didn't find anything unusual about the archmage, she was so calm, so simple, even the cloak seemed to have been repaired countless times, and the clothes were so simple, without a trace of gorgeous decoration and magic. Aside from her move, no one would have associated the Guardian with this mediocre-looking woman.
"Well, I've been following you guys. Gianna, you're doing a great job, and you, Ares, I didn't expect your arrival to contribute so much to the Alliance. Anyway, thank you. ”
Egwen said, his words and demeanor revealed a strong aristocratic temperament and demeanor.
Then, without waiting for Ares to be polite, she turned her gaze to Daelin - "Admiral, you also saw the scene that happened just now, as your daughter said, the crisis has arrived, the power hidden under the wall of the scarab is recovering, the millennium war, it is time to come to understand. Alliances and tribes must work together to address this crisis. What I just killed was just some stragglers of the Angela Zerg, some larvae. A real swarm, beneath that wall of scarabs, beneath the ruins that had been silent for years. ”
