A human nobleman strolls out of the flames that fill the sky.

This is a mature man who has not yet reached middle age, tall and has a handsome face like a knife.

"Black Dragon King, Nesario"

Mephites bitterly revealed his identity.

"Oh, I can't believe that there are still high-level elves who recognize me."

Nesario raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise:

"What's your name, little one, you've seen me before?"

In his observation just now, Mephiteks had noticed his presence before Onexia. Such a sensitive reaction, did he ever come into contact with Nesario himself?

"No, I think it's the first time we've met."

The old mage shook his head, a little gloomy:

"I'm only a few thousand years old now."

Deathwing's contact with the High Elves was during the time of the Ancient Wars, before Mephites was born.

Based on Deathwing's age, Mephites could indeed be called a little one.

"So you are no longer an immortal seed."

Deathwing's eyes flashed with gloomy banter, and the corners of his mouth turned up:

"The upper elves have fallen, and if I'm not mistaken, you should be the most powerful of them now."

By 'they', of course, he wasn't just talking about the elves present, but also about all the elves in Quel'Thalas.

“”

Mephites' face was slightly gloomy and he didn't answer the question.

The High Elves used to be the apex of all races, and there were countless powerful ones, but now they are indeed in decline.

Eternal life is lost, and powerful professionals die with the passage of time. At the same time, the Well of Eternity, which gave these elves their powers, was also destroyed, and their strength was greatly weakened.

The current Well of the Sun is made from a bottle of water from the Well of Eternity, and even after thousands of years of nourishment, it still cannot be compared to the power of the Well of Eternity.

After decades of research, the High Elves have finally determined that the Well of Eternity cannot be revived.

The Well of Eternity exploded during the demonic invasion, splitting and changing the continent of the entire world, and it dispersed its power throughout the world. The arcane energy is hidden around the world, forming a magical web around the entire world, resulting in a worldwide outpouring of magic and other powers.

In today's world, power is no longer held by a few races, and magic is not something unique to elves

"His Majesty Netsario"

Mephites suddenly lowered his status and bowed slightly to Deathwing:

"We elves shouldn't have offended you, I don't know what you're here for?"

He's holding back

Kael'thas was a little surprised by Mephites' movements, this old mage was a very proud elf, how could he choose to back down?

He quickly understood how much Mephites was struggling.

The old mage suddenly grabbed Kael'thas with one hand, tightly, making Kael'thas a little pain.

"Kael'thas, be quiet, do what I command."

Kael'thas heard Mephites' voice in his ears, and the old mage's mouth didn't move, his eyes still looking at Deathwing.

"When I let you run, you must not stop."

A heavy voice, a voice full of determination

Kael'thas suddenly understood what Mephitath was thinking

This old mage is not retreating at the moment, but thinking about protecting him.

Because of Kael'thas presence, Mephites chose to bow his head.

"Didn't offend me?"

Deathwing laughed, he didn't seem to care about Mephites' movements, turned to look at Onexia and asked:

"Onexia, you came to answer me, did they offend me?"

His eyes became sharp and cold, making Onexia shiver and stiffen.

"No, no"

However, Onexia chose to speak for the elves anyway.

Kael'thas looked at Onexia with some surprise, he didn't expect Onexia to choose this side in front of his father.

[It seems that she really isn't the historical Onexia anymore.] 】

Living in the shadow of Deathwing since childhood, and also knowing this father's ruthlessness, it is impossible for Onexia, who is not worried about her safety. At this time, it is no good to choose the elves' side.

In this passage, Onexia finally changed.

"Huh? Can you tell me what you're doing with them? ”

Deathwing lost a smile on his face and took two steps with an imposing momentum, pressing straight down on Onexia.

“”

Onexia took a step back.

The aura that came from Deathwing's body terrified her, and she had experienced it countless times around her, and each time, those locked by Deathwing never saw the sun the next day.

[Am I going to die?] 】

Onexia shuddered and gritted her teeth.

"Father, I don't want to act on your word anymore, I want to be friends with them!"

Onexia spoke out loud.

She didn't want to be on the run anymore, she didn't want to live in the dark anymore.

No one would stretch out his hand and smile at Onexia like the elven prince next to him.

Onexia knew that she would never be accepted by Deathwing after she said this, and from then on, she would be homeless.

But after saying this sentence again, in addition to being afraid, Onexia felt that her whole world had changed.

"Friends?"

Deathwing's face changed:

"Looks like you've fallen too."

"I don't need a daughter who sinks."

He stretched out his hand, and a fire ignited in his fingertips:

"It's not too late, I'll ask you again, Onexia."

"To live or to perish?"

"Survive and persevere, and stay with those elves with long ears!"

Deathwing didn't look at the elves, but his actions made it clear that he wouldn't let them go.

There was silence.

At some point, Mephites picked up a dark blue staff in his hand.

"Looks like we have to fight."

His other hand, holding Kael'thas, was cold and stiff.

"You're not qualified to let me choose this, father, I'm free"

She walked to the other side of Kael'thas and looked at him with eyes that flashed:

"Little one, can I stay with you?"

Kael'thas nodded cautiously:

"Of course."

The Black Dragon Princess's actions were enough for Kael'thas to keep her.

"We'll be friends for life."

But after thinking about it, he added.

"You're going too far."

Onexia smiled wryly, of course she knew what Kael'thas meant.

"If you can survive."

She shook her head and took a step forward:

"I don't want to be friends all the time."

But now, they still have to fight.

Sylvanas and Solanlian also came to the side of the group and prepared for battle.

"Are you ready?"

Deathwing didn't act, calmly waiting for all the elves to be ready, and then said in passing:

"If I'm not mistaken, the boy in the middle should be the High Elf Prince."

He didn't seem to mind Kael'thas at all, and his expression didn't move when he said it.

The elves' expressions changed, and Kael'thas felt Mephites' grip tighten tighter.

But instead of paying attention to the pain, he felt sorrow.

[Am I dragging my feet again?] 】

Kael'thas gripped his sword, feeling unusually heavy in his hand.

"Then I'll kill him first!"

Deathwing spoke, but he didn't move, just pointed his finger at Kael'thas, causing the flame on his finger to turn into a flame and rush towards him.

"Elemental Shield!"

"Frost Loss!"

"Breath!"

The air shook, and the air instantly shone with all kinds of spell light, and rows of shields were closely arranged in the colors of the elements, blocking the front of the flames.

The shield of ice, the shield of arcane, the shield of light, and many other shields that Kael'thas had never noticed were shattering, and Mephiteks waved his hand, showing for the first time how many elements a mage could master.

However, even after all the shields were shattered, there were fragments of flames that flew like bullets.

Sylvanas and Onexia's blocking didn't do much to break through, and Lotherma even held the sword in front of the flames, but the flames knocked the sword out of several holes.

In less than a second, the flames came in front of Kael'thas.

"Flash!"

Kael'thas was about to cast a flash, but suddenly collapsed and could no longer cast a spell.

Arcane torrent!?

This is the effect of the High Elf race's talent, Kael'thas looked at Mephites beside him in surprise, but the old mage didn't speak, pursed his lips and stretched out his hand.

The staff in his hand emitted a blue light, blocking out the flames.

"Ready."

Mephites raised his staff and waved it down gently.

In an instant, the ground emitted powerful magic fluctuations, and a rotating magic circle appeared.

[Teleportation!] 】

Kael'thas was taken aback, and then understood why Mephites wouldn't let him cast spells.

If the flash is cast, Kael'thas will leave the area of the circle.

At the beginning, Mephites had already recited the spell silently, preparing this circle?

Kael'thas rejoiced.

"Is it teleportation?"

However, Deathwing's icy voice interrupted Kael'thas's joy:

"This thing doesn't work in front of me."

The ground instantly began to shake, and flames erupted.

These flames were born out of thin air, and they had the same trajectory as the magic circle, quickly devouring the teleportation circle.

"Hmm"

Mephites snorted.

"Teacher!?"

Something was wrong, the circle was failing, and Kael'thas looked at Mephitath with some concern.

"Don't worry, Kael'thas"

However, Mephites turned his head and smiled at Kael'thas:

"I promised Your Majesty that nothing would happen to you."

He raised the staff again, blue and red light shining at the tip of the staff.

"Kael'thas, let me show you what makes a good elf."

Shocking arcane waves appeared in the air.
