The Dark Gate of Azeroth.

When Brian got a report from his men and hurried to the gate, it was already a mess. In the middle of the huge dark gate, the wind is surging like an angry sea, and the scenes of landslides and cracks are reflected in it. What made Brian and the warriors who were guarding here even more panicked was that the Dark Gate began to tremble, and the earth trembled slightly, and Brian could even hear the crunch of the earth tearing.

"Damn! What's going on? ”

Brian cursed, but more worried about the Expeditionary Brethren who were still fighting on the other side of the Dark Gate.

"Back off, back off!!"

Decisively giving the order to retreat, Brian knew that this was a precursor to the cracking of the earth, and he had to keep the soldiers in front of him safe.

On the other side, Khadgar and Aurelia finally teleported back to the Dark Gate, which was also in chaos. The Dark Gate is the closest to Shadowmoon Valley, and it is particularly strongly affected. Khadgar saw that the red plains in the distance had begun to crack open huge gaps in the depths of the bottom.

The dark door must be closed immediately!

Khadgar thought. He cast a spell on Aurelia that sobered her up. As soon as the eldest sister of Windranger opened her eyes, she looked angrily, apparently trying to settle accounts with Carl.

"Aurelia! Calm down! ”

Khadgar's magically amplified voice thundered the enraged Aurelia at bay.

"I must close the Dark Gate now, or Azeroth will be involved, and Draenor will not be the only world to be annihilated."

"What do you need me to do?"

Regaining her composure, Aurelia struggled not to think about the others, including Carl.

"You immediately withdraw to Azeroth with them!"

Khadgar pointed to the soldiers who were rushing towards the Gate of Darkness in a panic, in the face of powerful natural disasters, whether it was humans, elves, or dwarves, they all seemed so fragile and small!

"......"

"There's no time! Aurelia-" Khadgar almost roared, "we have to have someone come back to Azeroth and tell them what's going on here." Now there is no one else here! ”

Khadgar finished speaking, ignoring Aurelia again. He raised his hands and closed his eyes naturally. The old man's face became unfazed, and he began to chant incantations with the Staff of the Guardian in one hand and the Skull of Gul'dan in the other. The skulls of Etiyesh and Gul'dan lit up at the same time, enveloping Khadgar in it, surging energy staggering around him.

Aurelia looked at the great mage who was concentrating on casting spells, and then looked at the dim sky on the other side of the sea, where green lightning broke through the thick clouds from time to time, shining on the dust—a complete apocalyptic sight.

Carl is still there. Aurelia's eyes were red, and she resisted the cramping pain in her heart, and suddenly turned around, jumped onto a high platform, and used her magic to amplify her voice, loudly directing the soldiers through the dark door in an orderly manner.

Temple of Darkness.

The ground trembled more and more violently beneath his feet. The warriors could barely stand on their feet, the volcano erupting in the distance seemed to have endless lava, illuminating the sky red, and the green lightning still easily tore through the cover of the ash, allowing the warriors to clearly see the rolling clouds, like huge waves, and everything that stood in its way was mercilessly swallowed.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

Danas commanded the panicked soldiers hoarsely, the horses had completely lost control, all the knights had abandoned this theoretically faster means of transport, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were struggling to evacuate in a northerly direction, at least in Danas's opinion, bypassing the dangerous volcano and retreating towards the Teroka Forest was their best option.

Khadgar's spell chant reached a critical moment when Aurelia suddenly heard a strange tearing sound, sharp and ethereal, as if it had come from far, far away. She had heard the sound of Neozu tearing apart the space before opening the portal in the Dark Temple.

Sure enough, a bright light suddenly appeared in the air not far from her. Like a crack torn in a blank piece of paper, it grows bigger and more visible. The ground trembled even more violently, and Aurelia felt a chill suddenly rise from her feet, and she jumped back almost instinctively.

Just where she stood, a crack suddenly appeared, like the gaping mouth of a hungry monster. Then, more gaps began to extend around the center of the chasm. Suddenly, a part of the ground rises upwards. Dozens of dwarven and human warriors were tossed high and spun in the air, knocking them off like a galloping horse throwing a knight off.

Khadgar is not exaggerating at all. Draenor is indeed collapsing, it's tearing itself apart-

As she stared at the floating boulder, Khadgar's eyes snapped open, bursting with an intense golden glow. He waved the staff in his hand, and a thick light shot out from the top of the staff, heading straight for the center of the Dark Gate.

The light was so intense that Aurelia's eyes were shaken by it. The light shimmered in different colors, from the blue-white-purple of the arcane familiar to Aurelia, to the red of fire, to the white of frost, to the yellow-green of the Burning Legion's evil powers—all of which were constantly changing and intertwining.

It was a profound magic spell, hitting the middle of the dark door and exploding violently, a sound of glass shattering was heard, the rotating energy in the center of the dark door began to become unstable, the huge stone door and stone pillar, and the two standing statues began to crack like porcelain, and continued to increase and expand.

"It's done." Khadgar crutched his staff to the ground, keeping his tired body from falling. After a moment's respite, he put Guldan's skull in a cloth bag and tossed it to Aurelia as she walked by. "Take it and give it to Kenrito. Let's go, while the door hasn't broken yet. ”

"What about you? And Carl, they ......"

Aurelia asked, worried.

Khadgar shook his gray-haired head, "No. I need to stay here and seal it off completely. This was the only way to ensure that the destruction of Draenor would not spread to Azeroth. ”

As for Karl, Khadgar didn't mention it, believing that Aurelia understood the meaning as well. They knew exactly how fast Carl was, and it took him enough time to get here from Shadowmoon Valley, but until now, he still hadn't been seen......

Tears finally welled up in Aurelia's red eyes.

Khadgar sighed, Karl's fate was unknown, and the rest of the expeditionary force - Tulayan, Danas, Kudran - were also unknown. And the self who is going to stay may also be such a result.

"Go ahead! Aurelia! Tell our people that the expeditionary force fulfilled her mission and that we did not disappoint them!! ”

"Hmm!"

Aurelia nodded heavily, not daring to look at the apocalyptic world again, and turned and rushed through the Dark Gate. Behind her, two crystal tears flew in the air, and a crack appeared out of thin air, swallowing them in one gulp......

Almost as Aurelia crossed the Dark Gate, a burst of light suddenly erupted from her pocket, and the Dark Gate seemed to respond, producing a light that made it impossible for anyone to see anything. A deafening explosion was heard, and the violent shockwave sent Khadgar tumbling backwards, slamming to the ground, and losing consciousness for a moment.

When he regained consciousness, he looked in the direction of the Dark Portal almost immediately.

It's gone.

Two huge statues shattered into broken stones, and the three huge pillars that formed the frame of the Dark Gate, pillars that had witnessed the glory and greatness of the tribe, had also collapsed and shattered into rubble.

The remaining soldiers stared at the remaining ruins of the vanished Dark Gate in amazement, their eyes filled with despair. The earth was still tearing apart, hot lava gushing from the cracks, and the solid mountains in the distance were crumbling before disappearing without a trace, leaving only an eerie starry sky.

It's all going to be over.

Khadgar did not comfort the soldiers, for for them his actions were a little ruthless and cruel. But he didn't regret it. He was glad to be able to close the dark door and save their world. Now, he quietly waited for death to come.

He had always believed that they would not be able to escape this fate, as he had seen in Karazhan's vision. If they had to die, they would die here together, fighting side by side as always, and dying heroically together, for which he was grateful and grateful. (To be continued.) )
