Trip to the Night 33
I turned my head to look at him, and I felt so nervous that I couldn't even feel the scars on my body. It's as if time has stood still, and you don't even know the fear. Yes, although I have seen god-like disguises more than once, such as the Deathwing of Presto in makeup, and the red dragon queen with horns, I have not seen any disguise this time, but the suffocation may be far greater than theirs. If I'd rather fight the entire Horde alone against Deathwing, I'd rather fight the entire Black Dragons alone when I fought against the entire Alliance Horde against Akmund.
The same is true for the allies behind them, who may have heard that this demon single-handedly destroyed the entire Lordaeron and Dalaran in an instant, and they will suspect that this is a rumor. But he's seen him resurrect entire demon armies with the wave of his hand, and summon countless hellfires to blast into the Night Elves' positions. Surely no one would doubt this guy's anti-heaven power, although now he is looking at us with such a defenseless mortal posture.
Standing in front of us like this without any guards and looking at us really made everyone a little unable to deal with it, especially after his men were defeated by us several times, he still seemed so calm, which in itself was very scary, and it felt like he was playing some kind of conspiracy. But I suspect that with the existence of such a powerful force, there is really no need to play any more tricks, maybe there is another purpose?
We hesitated, and he began to give us advice
"Tiny mortals, you have proven that you have a certain value if you have been able to hold on until now, if you are willing to surrender to me, I can guarantee you..."
Akmund was trying to persuade us to surrender, and if such a situation had occurred before the invasion of the Burning Legion, we would never have suspected that we were facing a fool. But now we won't. Perhaps seeing our hesitation, he thought he might persuade us to surrender. Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the flames of Crassus. The dragon spewed intense flames from its mouth. But it's also a pity that a place closer to Akmund's location was instantly wiped out.
His attack had no effect at all, and on the contrary, it angered Akmund fiercely. He glared at Crassus fiercely, I don't think it would be a good choice to come out at this time, it is very likely that this demon will take revenge on him, but it is not so, he looked at Crassus, as if he hesitated because of some acquaintance with him, and at this time, more attacks followed.
Offensive!
Almost all commanders gave such orders. Magic, including flames, bows, arrows, and cannon fire, is fired at it. But after a burst of attacks. All the magic and explosives had no effect, and they exploded a few meters around him, creating a huge amount of smoke and dust that could not even reach his body. And he still pointed his finger in the direction of our gate, which could also be said to be my position.
Although I was tired, I didn't spit out the flames just now. But everything he had done before was enough to make this demon king hold a grudge, so I wasn't surprised that he would do this to me. But I just sighed and found an excuse for myself, who let myself rely on this demon recently. In fact, I still tried to jump into the air and escape, but I found that I was in vain, I didn't have any strength to move myself now, I knew that I couldn't dodge, I could only watch him shoot at me.
"Damn. β
At this moment, almost everyone chose to escape, except for Mavi, I don't know why she tried to get close to me, yes, it surprised me, if she wanted to help me go, I don't think it was possible, unless he wanted to flash me away, but I thought how could this be, after all, I am a dragon now, and it is impossible for such a huge body to be teleported or turn me back into human form...
Yes, it's not difficult to turn back into human form, after all, the human body consumes less energy than my current dragon form, just like a person who has the strength to sleep when he is tired, but I'm not ready to turn into a human form at this time... In front of my former friends. But I can't help it, I don't want Mavi to waste her feelings to save me like this.
I could feel Akmund's laser, and I was in human form, but Mavi didn't flash me away at the first moment, but came very close to me and knocked me down, much to my surprise. Didn't she think I'd turn into a human?
This laser is compared to any other spell I've ever seen, no matter what object it touches. There was no scattering and energy loss at all, and in the vicinity of the laser, even if there was no frontal contact, as long as it was near the beam, it could be impacted by its impact, and Mavi and I were naturally rushed around by the huge air current, and at this time, Mavi used a flash to teleport the two of us to a nearby location. Behind a rock, where we can watch the destructiveness of this beam.
No matter what it encountered, the laser destroyed everything in front of the fortress as if it were unstoppable. It roared towards the gate of the fortress, leaving no trace where it passed, and finally collided with the back mountain, that is, the Night Elf position, forming a huge explosion, directly forming a large area of the mountain collapse, but even the mountain peak did not completely block it, and after passing through it, it went straight to the edge of the sky.
This force had once again dampened my hopes of victory, and I wondered if Malfurion really had any power to defeat such a powerful fellow, why hadn't he used it sooner? Could it be that he just wanted us to give them time to shift, I was skeptical, and I was already starting to waver a little.
Here, I watched Akmund walk with a composed, desperate and unable to move with the scars on his body. But that doesn't mean people are as invincible as I am. Because at this time, almost destroyed the fortress over there. I still heard familiar voices.
"Keep attacking! We must stay at Akmund's pace. "Gianna, who also dodged with magic, did not flee the battlefield like me, but ordered the troops to attack.
The effect was exactly what I had in mind, and we continued to attack, and while the bombs and magic didn't hurt him in the slightest, they did slow him down, because when we attacked him, he still had to distract himself and wave at us to fight back. But I think the best decision right now is to go hand-to-hand with him. Just as we mortal mages fear getting close... But in reality I ignored that Akmund wasn't just a mage, and more importantly he wasn't mortal.
That's what the orcs thought, and they charged at it. But he was also bounced off near the position of the protective film, and even if someone could pass through the protective film by mistake, he was also killed by an inexplicable spell closer to him.
Thinking of this, he also took this opportunity to rush down and entangle with him. Maybe my own teeth can bite this guy, or maybe my own hot blood can infect him, and I can give him a heavy blow to the protective film, and then the soldier can rely on hand-to-hand combat and kill him while he is unprepared, I thought, and Mavi, who treated me with the power of the moonlight, obviously knew what I was thinking, and made a different sound.
"You can't fight anymore!" she said as she treated me. I have a very strong opinion on this,
"Why, why don't you fight! You don't need to heal me at all. "I'm a little angry, yes, I wish she could play more of a role in fighting Akmund than in treating me? Yes, even the magic that Ysera helped me get to prevent me from peeping into my mind didn't work, after all, my body wanted to be healed by Mavi.
"With our strength, we can't hurt him in the slightest!" Mavi said calmly
"Cents?" her remark reminded me of the days when I used to fight god-like enemies, yes, while those guys were very powerful, they must have weaknesses, such as when I stabbed through the Black Dragon Princess with the sword of the red dragon, and Deathwing dodged my weapon. Maybe this weapon will be able to cut off his protective film. Yes, it will work, and then the attack of the entire Alliance Horde will catch him by surprise, so that maybe we can defeat Akmund.
I lost my mind when I thought about it. And I also made the idea clear, yes, as long as Mavi can recover my strength a little, I can do this... And Mavi must know my thoughts, and I just wish I hadn't extended my thoughts when I thought of Onexia, after all, I still wanted to make a good impression on her, but is it possible, who knows what form of the Priestess of the Moon's healing will be.
I don't know, maybe she's not peering into my mind at the moment, but I planned to carry out my plan anyway. But my thoughts were quickly slapped in the face, and I realized that my body could no longer support myself to transform into dragon form.
And by this time Karegos and Crassus had already acted, and they both seemed to have the same idea as me. But Akmund's gaze alone controlled the direction of the two dragons. He then threw Karegos to the ground. Crassus, with his vast magic and flying experience, changed direction and successfully dived before he was about to land.
Yes, swooping up, Akmund's magic didn't work, maybe it was an incentive for us, but it was all there was to it. After all, it is not a wise choice to be strong in the face of God without god-like strength. Akmund noticed him. He had already begun to stretch out his finger to the dragon.
Seeing this, Karegos immediately unleashed a strong spell at Akmund, trying to attract Akmund's attention, but unfortunately, this power did not affect Acmund's lock, and disappeared from Acmund's shield like other magic. Seeing that he was about to be attacked by Akmund, Crassus could only use his magic to prepare for defense. But I don't think that will make a difference.
It was at this time that Ronin teleported to Crassus's body, strengthening his defenses. Yes, he really didn't want this dragon to be different. Perhaps Crassus would reproach Ronin for his recklessness, but he clearly couldn't afford to be distracted anymore because Akmund's attack was coming.
"No!" Seeing the danger his companions were about to face. Anger erupted in my mouth. Perhaps it was this anger that made me feel as powerful as a return to the light. I leapt into dragon form again and rushed that way, yes, I wanted to get the attention of Akmund in my own way to help Crassus and Ronin.
I thought so, but the reality was that I found out that my attack was still disturbing the demon king. But the adversary didn't let Crassus go, and aimed the index finger of his other hand at me. Yes, I know I'm not Crassus without magical protection, or maybe protection doesn't work, now that he's pointing at me. It's better to fight him desperately.
I flew at him so eagerly. But at this moment, the land around Akmund collapsed, and Thrall and the shamans took advantage of Akmund's distraction to use their elemental power to shatter Akmund's ground, perhaps such a fluctuation, Akmund's finger deflected some lasers, plus I dodged violently, and finally this laser shot into the air behind him. Similarly, Crassus dodged the lasers fired by his fingers.
At the same time, Akmund's shamans used the power of the earth to collapse the ground in an instant, and Akmund fell without any psychological defense. Although I was lucky enough to dodge, the truth was not as I thought, and the two powerful lasers in the air seemed to be able to crush the entire sky. The blue sky changed color in an instant, the kind of green that turned into demonic blood as if it had been infected by a green pollutant.
Looking at this, the moment that he had just had the slightest expectation of defeating Akmund turned into a delusion. The imminent Hellfire in the sky shows that Akmund has not stopped attacking us, and we had better prepare for it before he adjusts and the Hellfire comes down.
"We must spread the power!" Gianna said as she cast several portal spells, yes, there was no point in so many people here. Akmund can't be something we mortals can defeat, and if there's anything we can do, it's to drag out as much time as possible, disperse, and then attract Akmund's attention. I really don't know how much time there is, and I'm sure the soldiers don't know, or even probably not, our plans. So speaking of despair, since I've been so desperate, I think they should be even more so, and they've doubted that we still have the slightest chance of winning.
Yes, even a strong soldier will not have the confidence to fight after knowing that there is no possibility of victory at all. Most of them, including the orcs, scrambled to get in, leaving only a small number behind. It can be seen that Gianna originally hoped to be able to leave more people, but in the face of such a situation, she could only close her eyes and wait for the people who wanted to leave here, but on the other hand, if they didn't have the determination to fight, it would be better to leave, but there were not many people left, and they were elite, and most or even all of them might never leave here.
We don't have time to blame them, or even have the time or mood to re-energize them, we have to destroy these Hellfires, and after a long experience with them, their threat is not very great.
Hellfire fell, and the mages and paladins unleashed their defensive shields with their own power to resist the force of their onslaught, then slashed them down with their own power before they could get to their feet. I'm in the air with Crassus and Karegos to destroy the hellfire that hasn't yet descended to the ground. Hellfire certainly didn't expect this to be the case, because we didn't give them time to assemble, and soon they were broken apart and wiped out by us.
Perhaps such success can also boost some of our morale, but Gianna has deeper concerns, if Akmund sends such a force to attack us, it is obvious that there are only two possibilities, that is, his strength has become very weak, or that he has some other plans. But no one would believe that this could be the former, and Akmund must have been preparing something.
While battling Hellfire, Mavi walked into Gianna, who was summoning the water elemental to help, and he went to talk privately, and after Gianna nodded, he informed Sal, and soon they came to an agreement. Then cast the spell again.
I don't know what they say, but when I see Mavi summon her vengeful spirit here again, I seem to be certain of something. She thinks it's the last gamble.
The shaman began to cast spells, and at this time, the sky also changed, and the sky, which had become too green to be able to do so, became even more intense. I can feel this change. At the same time, a thick fog rose all around. I don't know if it's a spell cast by shamans, but I'm sure they're preparing, and it's working quickly.
With the sound of thunder in the sky, I think it must be raining, but if it rains on such a day, what kind of rain will it be?
"Rain of fire!!!" Mavi had warned us of the impending catastrophe, and the shaman beside her was unleashing the wind to try to blow the flames away.
Yes, I've seen similar magic, such as the blizzard released by Gianna, but that can only be released in a very small area, Akmund can be released to the entire land like rain, it is really unimaginable, the wind element summoned by the shaman blows most of the fire rain to other places, but a considerable part of it still falls to our side, in the face of such an attack, if it hits the top of the head, or nearby, it is impossible to dodge. After all, this highly toxic heat affects the surrounding environment.
While most of these things didn't hit the ground directly, even a small fraction of them could set the wooden fortress on fire. And the originally sturdy wood instantly turned into a burner, and the pungent smell of smoke instantly filled the air, yes, even I, the undead, can feel sick, let alone the living mortals nearby. But fortunately, the wind that blew away the fire rain still kept displacing the air here, so that we could still bear it.
Of course, it is not only the wind elemental that helps, but also other elements who are willing to help us, such as Nepturon, who already has a relatively good relationship with mortals. Not only did he help me extinguish the clouds of fire in the sky, but he also responded to the shaman's other requests.
The fog was lifting, and although my vision was restricted, I realized in the fog that there was no demonic aura, which made me think that this should be the shaman's decision. But I don't know why the shaman did this, and I didn't think about it, just wondering if the elemental lords could reveal their true colors to help us. Although Akmund is far superior to them, if we lose, what difference will we end up with? Just as I thought so, the center of the shaking, where Akmund fell, shook.
I thought Akmund had teleported somewhere else when he fell. But the reality is different, for example, if I were him, I was tripped by a small character when I was in Deutschmann, and when I got up in place, I would definitely have a huge amount of anger in my heart, especially when the hellfire and fire rain he just released and the laser just now didn't have any effect.
The mountains shook and the rifts rose. Obviously, he is going to get up, and it is still the time to show his true strength, of course, if he hasn't shown his strength before.
"Retreat, release the portal. Mavi said to the others in a panic, and at this time, Gianna did not wait for his reminder to release again. Yes, it is impossible for us to resist. But just as the portal was about to be formed, a huge palm suddenly stretched out from the ground, and his fingers were the portal. Mavi motioned for Gianna and the others to flee from the direction where Akmund's index finger was outstretched, which was the portal. He didn't seem to hesitate to react as fast as Mavi, but at this time, Akmund's power was launched, just in case, the vengeful spirit released by Mavi also went to block his death finger, but obviously it didn't have any effect, it passed through it directly and instantly turned it into nothing, this power rushed to the portal again and exploded, blowing up the portal and everything nearby.
It was only at this time that I realized the effect of the dense fog, and I didn't know the principle of his laser, and indeed the dense fog diffused the power and crosshair of the Akmund laser. But it's still hugely powerful. I was very worried about Gianna's safety, but I was relieved to see her stand up with Mavi and the others. Yes, if they were hit by a laser, as I thought about it, Karegos and Crassus were already close to Gianna and seemed to recognize the seriousness of the problem. And quickly nodded to each other, and then acted separately, that is, to summon more portals before Akmund stood up and let everyone get out of here, after all, with the current Akmund, no one can really stop him.
More portals appeared, and everyone used the last of their strength to teleport everyone away as much as possible, and at this time Akmund did not stretch out his fingers, but struggled to break away the land and crawl out of the earth. Yes, he struggled to climb out, I think this is the contribution of the earth element, yes, it must be, otherwise he would have climbed out earlier.
Yes, Akmund's body was already very large, but it was only after he actually stood up that I realized his true size, a dragon that was taller than a small mountain, compared to the largest dragon in the world, he was now like a dove. But this is not the most terrifying, what makes people feel the most desperate is his calm eyes, and his absolute majesty, with his roar, the fog instantly dissipated, although I don't know if these fogs can really obstruct his vision, but if he has this will, I don't think there will be any elemental lord who defies his consciousness again, because wherever he goes, the place under his feet and near him has turned irreversibly black, and the light reflected in the green sky once again shines on the entire land, allowing us to see at a glance, and there is no familiar elemental powerγ
Of course, at this time, I don't think anyone but the shaman will pay attention to these elemental powers. Back to reality, it was impossible for the temporary portal built by Gianna and the others to send away so many people, and most of them chose to stay here to fight against him. Gianna did the same, and there was no action. I really want her to leave, to leave when I can now, because I really don't want her to die in front of me.
Everyone knew that it was futile, although the huge Akmund did not release any safety shield, but any magic and gunpowder that attacked him were as useless as fireworks, and for the impact of the soldiers, Akmund showed the way it should be, or the attitude of a warrior, that is, to give these warriors a face, and then use the magic in his hands to destroy them one by one.
Soon almost all of the charging warriors were killed, but it must be said that they did stop Akmund's steps. At this time, only our side was left, and it was at this time that he hit Gianna's side. Yes, as the last resistance of the last alliance and the Horde. And in the same place, among the last resistance forces, everyone has also gathered the last strength, and when Akmund used his giant hand to destroy the portal before crawling out of the earth, he had already gathered their respective forces to give Akmund a fatal blow, that is, they gathered the power of their respective magic to condense a huge ball of energy.
But when the last warrior died in the charge, Akmund noticed it, and Gianna's side was clearly not ready.
I couldn't help but worry about everyone, so I tried to buy time for him, and flew towards Akmund, so that I could get Acmund's attention if necessary...
But at this time, something unexpected happened, Akmund did not attack while we were ready, but waited, waiting for Gianna to prepare to complete their power, and I put down my foot, waiting for this force to collide with Akmund. Yes, if there is anything else that can hit Akmund hard, it can only be something like this, but Akmund, the calm and confident expression of this demon who has experienced tens of thousands of years, seems to be already pronouncing our death sentence, but even so I put all my trust on this ball of energy.
"Is this the power of hope you are betting on? I hope I won't wait too long to see!"
Akmund said sarcastically, waving his hands, and it was clear that his words had made clear what I feared, and if the force was not enough to inflict heavy damage on him, then what else could we have. After being taunted. Everyone also tried their best, and the condensed energy ball became bigger and bigger. Maybe it could be bigger, but with their current physical strength, that's all they can do. Under Gianna's command, they threw it at Akmund.
In response, Akmund finally used his hands, yes, he was still cautious, but when the force touched him, he couldn't help but smile, and then stopped the thing in his hand, and then threw it, and the heavy blow caused a huge explosion on the ground.
Yes, this ball of energy did no harm to Akmund, but rather exhausted us, and with this exhaustion, our confidence faded away.
Looking at his tired eyes, I can understand that my current situation is indeed very bad, but what is the possibility, Akmund's power is already so strong, if the power we hope to be able to destroy Akmund is only this energy level, then we really have no hope.
I looked at Mavi, and I was even more convinced of this in his disappointment, yes, the reason why we resisted Akmund like this was because Malfurion, who was the leader of the Night Elves, had proposed a similar plan, and I think Mavi, as a high-ranking priestess, must have known something about Malfurion's specific plan, and Mavi's firmness is also what I have always been, if she is not determined, then I really don't have any hope...
But perhaps not yet is the time for us to give up. The proud Akmund obviously won't let us go, who has almost given up. But fortunately, some of his naivety still gave us the possibility of escape
"I think you little mortals have realized your arrogance, and if you surrender now, I will still give you the promise you made before!"
In response, the stubborn Gianna unleashed another spell attack, which, although it was not at all painful, still dealt a severe blow to the proud will of Akmund himself.
"You're dreaming, demon!" Gianna replied, also waving her hand, trying to summon the portal again, but alas, she no longer had the strength to summon, she had already used all her strength, and she didn't even have the strength to run, and the reason why she insisted was just that she didn't want to lose to this demon. And that's not what I want to see.
"I don't think I'm going to give you another chance! β
Akmund raised his finger again, it was clear that Gianna was no longer able to run at this time, and I could only pin my hopes on the people nearby. But now it's not just her, but the mages around her have no power, the same Mavi, if she also stands there tired, it can only mean that he doesn't have the strength to flash and leave, yes, Mavi can also do some spells, obviously there is also a part of her power in the energy ball just now, and there are also nearby Karegos and Crassus, they don't seem to have much power to fly, and they turned into human form and watched Akmund's upcoming attack with the others.
I knew that if I wanted to do anything, it was to stop the laser he was shooting, but when it came to this laser, it was impossible for my body to stop it, but I had no choice, if I were to die together, then I had to do it. But even if I hoped so, I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up, so I could only watch the laser shoot at Gianna and them.
"No!" I looked over to Gianna, and I knew they couldn't run away, and if that was the case, there was only one possibility, the last thing I wanted, and it would be my worst nightmare...
If Gianna and my partner both died in front of my eyes like this, then I really didn't have any point in existing. Of course, it's not just for me. The same is true for the other person, because there is Crassus there.
If I would rather sacrifice myself than Gianna, then the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa would not want her only remaining and beloved spouse to die like this, and just as the laser was about to hit them, Alexstrasza instantly appeared there and activated a shield to resist Akmund's attack.
Yes, if there's anything else we can do with Akmund head-on, it's the dragon, she finally appeared, still in human form, and although I had a bit of a holiday with the Red Dragon Queen, I was very happy to see him appear on our side and save my companions.
Akmund was quite surprised by her appearance, yes, he would have thought about when these dragons would appear and disturb him, but he definitely didn't expect it to be this time, and for the Red Dragon Queen's actions, Akmund pouted a little and focused, yes, he knew that it was better to be careful with opponents like the guardian dragon.
As a result, the power of the laser increased instantly, and the original Red Dragon Queen's guardian was also very difficult to attack in Akmund, but now it was even more so, the sound of energy impact became more and more harsh, and gradually the protective shield also had a tendency to penetrate. And it was at this time that Crassus silently recited the incantation. And before the laser was about to penetrate Alexstaza's shield, it teleported nearby people out of the area. This was followed by an even larger explosion, which also created a huge amount of smoke and dust
I breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of this, because at the last glance I was sure that Crassus had taken everyone else out of here. But at this time, I also realized a problem, I was the only one left alive on the battlefield now, and Alexstrasa did not take me away from a distance. Behind me, Akmund in the form of a giant still stands...
I slowly turned my head and looked at the huge Akmund, and I couldn't help but think of the beginning of meeting him, my thoughts were recognized, but I was not afraid now. Now that Gianna and her companions have left safely, I can face this most formidable enemy without any worries, and realize my final value and meaning.
