Chapter 11: Zeratul Arrives on the Battlefield in 30 Seconds (2-in-1 Chapter)

The Starry Sky Traveler was speeding through the universe, and Zeratul and his guards were silently tracking the psionic fluctuations from Char, and now, it appeared before their eyes.

"I'm the Queen of Blades..." The domineering and explosive psionic fluctuations came again, and the sudden turn of events made Zeratul frown. Unlike their brother Kara Star Spirit, their encounter with the Insect was accidental. Because of their love of exploring the mysteries of the starry sky, Naira rarely returned to Sakulas, and their favorite thing to do was to navigate the universe and explore unknown planets except for missions.

However, they are also wary of the new lifeforms, which have an instinctive desire to devour psionic energy, but do not seem to be able to use it themselves. Through the study of the insects, they found that the insects seemed to be consciously manipulating behind them, and that the power of the void in their possession had an unusually powerful destructive power over these creatures.

Zeratul searched along the way, found several planets that had been devoured by the insect infection, and he realized that he must stop this unscrupulous devouring and development of the alien worm, otherwise, it would be a disaster for the entire universe.

"Looks like this is it, get ready, start the jump"

"Dark Sect, we have detected the presence of the Kara Star Spirit on this planet"

"Oh? That's an unexpected surprise, they've been brought in too, it seems that things are getting more and more interesting," Zeratul smiled meaninglessly, "We can land not far from them, I'm going to talk to them"

At this time, Tassadar was in a bad situation, and he and his troops were chased and intercepted by the swarm of Kerrigan like lost dogs. The disparity in strength is too large for the Star Spirit to confront head-on, and Tassadar wants to further observe the Blade Queen's abilities, so he can only use methods to provoke her, even if it is dangerous.

James Reynolds followed the Zerg army of Kerrigan, to be honest, thanks to the results of the perennial exercise, otherwise he would have fallen behind or fell, compared to the tireless impact of the insects, his body that had not slept for several days was already exhausted, if it wasn't for a belief that supported him, supported him to continue to observe Tassadar and Kerrigan, then he would have given up long ago.

After he had climbed another hill, in the forest ahead, he saw the figure of Tassadar and his astral troops, and as if they had stopped fleeing, they gathered in front of a huge diamond-shaped crystal structure to confront Kerrigan.

"Are you finally not running away, my little Templar" Kerrigan looked at Tassadar with a slight mockery, as she slowly approached him, stretching her wings, the pointed ends of which flashed with a sharp edge.

"You're so beautiful," Renault looked at her infatuated from where he was hiding, he found himself more infatuated with her than before, he knew it was wrong, but he still didn't hesitate.

"Honorable Queen, this battle should be ours"

"As you wish, I'm facing you," Kerrigan stooped and leaped to his feet, "and you, face death!" ”

She leaped in the direction of the Executive, her sharp wings whizzing, and by the time she landed, the enemies were crushed. But in fact, there was nothing left.

"Where are you hiding? You coward" She looked around and found her in a low-lying area, which cast a shadow on her heart, because she couldn't even find out how the other party moved, it seemed that this was a special skill of the other party, and since it was a stunt, there must be a limit to its use.

Tassadar looked at the Blade Queen with a little solemnity, his perception of her had risen to a new level, her attacks were swift and fast, he had clearly seen her movements, but it was too late to dodge, if it weren't for the phase change at the critical moment, he estimated that it would not be much better than the few shattered stones just now.

Kerrigan continued to attack, repeating the last move, picking up with one foot and spinning as if dancing, and Renault was a little stunned to watch. However, after landing this time, it was indeed an alien worm that died, not a star spirit.

Kerrigan was enraged, "Are you just hiding, so I'll see how long you're going to hide?" ”

She restarted her attack, only this time she targeted the nearby Star Spirit troops, and she shuttled through them, and although the Star Spirit Templar attacked stubbornly, under her swift and powerful attacks, the Star Spirit continued to be wounded and eventually fell.

After the fourth Star Spirit fell, eventually losing his life, Kerrigan spoke again, "Are you still going into hiding, Executive?" As if the other party was a bear child who wanted to play a game of hide and seek with her, "You are their leader, I think, you don't want them to die, right?" ”

Tassadar finally showed his form, less than 10 meters away from Kerrigan, and he could not continue to observe, as the other party said, he could not have watched being slaughtered by the enemy, even if the enemy seemed so powerful and perfect.

"Okay, I'm here, let's fight" With that, Tassadar assumed a fighting stance, and the blade of light appeared from the armguard.

"Die," Kerrigan charged at him.

The battle between Kerrigan and the Enforcer is a bit weird, in Renault's observation, Tassadar is not attacking the other party, but Kerrigan seems to be dodging something, are they using psionic energy to attack?

In fact, Tassadar constantly used phase shifts to fight back, and Kerrigan's attacks were extremely clever and powerful psionic oppression, and he had to resist psionic onslaught while fending off attacks from wings from all sides, which made him feel hard, and at the same time, he was shocked by Kerrigan's strength. Eventually, after figuring out his trick, Kerrigan kicked his opponent's breastplate after a pretended mistake to retreat, but the unfolded psionic shield blocked the attack.

"How long will this turtle shell of yours protect you, Templar?"

The conclusion is that the protection will not last long, and there will always be a time when the psionic energy is exhausted, Tassadar can't remember the first time he has blocked Kairigan's attacks, his physical strength has been severely consumed, and the psionic energy is even more so, his pace is no longer perfect, and Kairigan has seized this gap. Finally, when she used her wings to block Tassadar's last of her psionic fists, she used her psionic energy to trap her opponent.

"Now how do you escape? You're my prey, Templar" Kerrigan was in a cheerful mood from a hearty battle, and even if she didn't find it challenging, the victory itself was pleasant.

She turned her head to look at the remaining Templars, who were still in place due to their strict discipline, but from their anxious gazes, it was clear that they were concerned about their leader's situation.

"Kill them all"

The insects were already impatient, and with the Queen's permission, they began to charge, and the slaughter was about to begin.

I have to help them, Renault thought to himself. He preferred the Star Spirits to the Insects, they were strong, humble, and gentle, and he longed for these natural allies. He pulled out his pistol, he wasn't sure if it would work against the insects, but there was nothing else he could do now. Aiming carefully, shooting, firing, all in one go, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.

After the bullet hit a bug, it knocked down the bug next to it and crushed the blaster next to it, and a loud explosion was heard, sending Renault flying and weakening Kerrigan's control over Tassadar and eventually escaping.

The massive explosion caused the insects to suffer heavy losses and tossed the astral forces down the hill, but with their athleticism and weakened storm, they were unharmed.

Kerrigan was facing away from the swarm, and the huge blast air flow blew her into the air, and although she finally landed, she also lost her prey, but she quietly sensed Renault's direction, and sighed softly when she was sure that the other party was not injured. "This idiot, there's always a way to make things worse".

"Templar, you can't escape"

When Tassadar was out of control, he realized that someone was helping him, he glanced at the other party's location vaguely, he probably understood Renault's purpose for doing this, he did not reject this, but now he didn't have time to think about this, the most important thing was to escape from the Queen of Blades.

So, through Kara, he conveyed orders to his subordinates and began his escape journey, and Kerrigan, followed by Renault alone. "Okay, I'd love to make things worse, but it doesn't feel bad," Renault smiled self-deprecatingly, and chased after Kerrigan.

However, Kerrigan did not catch up with Tassadar in the end, and another group of astral spirits intercepted the path of the insects, and they harvested the lives of the insects in the shadows. At first, this didn't attract Kerrigan's attention, but the death of several queen worms and the king worm made Kerrigan realize that there were other enemies hidden around.

"Stop," she ordered, and at the same time, spreading her psychic field to sense, "Good, it's getting more and more interesting"

"Come out, I can't see you, but I can sense your presence, shadow walking, interesting abilities"

Not far away, in front of a pile of rubble, Zeratul and his guards began to appear, and their different appearance from Tassadar caught the attention of Renaud and Kerrigan.

"Aren't they Templars? No, it's the same Star Spirit, obnoxious fellow," Kerrigan muttered to himself

"See the Queen, I am Zeratul, the Imam of the Dark Templars", he bowed to him with a graceful movement, "Your birth has been prophesied", yes, prophecy. After his last brief return to Sacoolas, Zeratul set off for Sarina's planet. Sarina showed him her fruits, an ancient prophecy, but it wasn't complete. The prophecy was carved into a temple of Sarnagar, waiting for the day when it was discovered, and the most essential being, the Queen of Blades, seemed to have an answer in the sky above Char. This also allowed Zeratul to finally understand the journey he had made with Artanis.

"Prophecy? So, what does it mention about me? ”

"You are part of the climax, but not the end, but the beginning, you will show the way, the ancient faith will eventually return to its original origin, in urgent need of reorganization," Zeratul repeated the prophecy he saw.

"Hehe, orgasm, nonsense" Kerrigan does not believe in these so-called prophecies, in her opinion, this is the trick of the weak, and as a strong man, the path she has traveled is her prophecy.

"So, are you ready to die, Dark Sect?" Kerrigan lunged at Zeratul, his mutated hands clutching at him, his sharp wings fluttering, but he was dodged. A black mist flashed, and he appeared in the shadows, "Looks like we need to fight"

Just like fighting Tassadar, everything was so strange in Renault's eyes, he wanted to move forward, but he was afraid of being seen by the insects. As the sun sets, darkness comes, and Zeratul continues to hide in the shadows, each of which is a key attack on Kerrigan. Kerrigan was initially uncomfortable with this kind of attack, as she used to be human, fighting more often with her eyes, and she was not used to the way psionic creatures fought, even though she had been a powerful ghost agent.

However, the powerful insect fighting instinct made her quickly adapt, and began to use psionic energy more and more to sense and fight, in a ferocious confrontation, Kerrigan was knocked off one of his wings, but Zeratul was completely knocked out of the shadow, crashing into the stone on the side.

"I can't believe how powerful you are and how quickly you're progressing," Zeratul looked at Kerrigan with a little amazement

"What, are you afraid, but it's too late" The injury completely stimulated Kerrigan's bloodthirstiness and ferocity, her hand quickly stabbed into the other party's chest, and was dodged by the other party, but judging from the blood dripping from it, the other party seemed to be injured not lightly.

"You're fast, you're better than your compatriot, but you're still no match for me."

"You did win against me this time, but you are not invincible, next time, we will succeed"

"Next time, you're going to stay here all this time" A bad feeling rose in Kerrigan's heart, are these damn star spirits going to run away again? Kerrigan glanced around, there were corpses of the Star Spirit everywhere, but there were more insects, and the escort brought by Zeratul was only half of what it had been.

"Your youth makes you strong, but it makes you arrogant, and we will see you again". With that, Zeratul and his guards disappeared before Kerrigan's eyes, just as they had come.

"You cowards, are you just going to hide?" In vain, Kerrigan stabbed his wings at the place where Zeratul had gone, "Well, you've succeeded in causing my wrath, I'm going to kill you," she commanded in her mind, "Brainworm, let the horde continue to track these abominable reptiles"

"Yes, Queen"

Kerrigan finally glanced at Renault's location and left.

Renault had to stop this kind of surveillance for a while, he knew that the other party had already discovered him, but because of confidence or arrogance, and felt that he was not a threat, he kept him, although he was a little frustrated, but he was really vegetable.
