Chapter 231: The Fall of Akmund
Taking advantage of the fact that Kurul's legions were temporarily blocking Jiang Weihan and the others, Akmund wantonly absorbed the power of the other demons to restore his own strength. In just ten minutes, he had drained hundreds of demons.
The demons didn't dare to resist their masters at all, even though they knew that they would die if they were drained of energy, they could only obediently line up and send them up.
Akmund's strength had regained a little, and hope had rekindled in his heart.
"As long as I survive, I have a chance to escape!"
What he wanted to do most now was to recover enough energy to leave the outer realm, and to break the spatial barrier here, he still needed to absorb the same power as before. As long as he returns to the Twisted Void, there will always be a day when he will completely regain his strength, and when the time comes, he will definitely return the humiliation of these mortals to him a hundred times today!
Acmund thought to himself, but as he ran towards another group of demonic wizards like lambs to the slaughter, another large figure strode towards him.
It was a huge purple dragon, and Akmund began to panic again.
The purple dragon that had just failed to find a counterpart in the illusion in the sky appeared in front of him - the twilight dragon Dragonax, who happened to be "eating" in this camp. Hearing his mother's call, he saw Akmund throw himself into the trap.
"Food, delicious food!" Dagonax's eyes lit up.
The third act appeared.
Looking at the saliva dragon in front of him, Akmund was terrified and desperate.
A feeling of being played with by fate filled his mind - "Am I not able to escape this predestined end no matter what I do?" β
"Eat you!" Dagonax strode toward Akmund.
He was only a few months old, even though dragons were born with a heritage of mystical knowledge. It is many times faster than humans can learn, but the table of Dlagonax is still not much different from that of a child of seven or eight years old.
He felt the magical energy emanating from this archdemon. Much more "delicious" than the demonic wizards he had just eaten!
So what Dragonax wants to do most now is to eat the food in front of him!
Akmund was not willing to be food for the Twilight Dragon. The strong should have the dignity of the strong. He would rather die a heroic battle than be eaten by a dragon and end up being excreted in a mass of.
When Dragonax attacked, Akmund immediately fought back!
His strength is weaker than that of the beloved Dragonax, but his combat experience is by no means comparable to that of the twilight dragon who is only a few months old, so after two or three rounds of fighting and discovering the opponent's weaknesses, Akmund was able to suppress the Twilight dragon!
However, it didn't take long for Jiang Weihan and others to break through Kurul's blockade. Although the demons are numerous, they gather together. Become the best target for the black dragons. Crassus, Onexia, Saberian, and Sinistra burned a large number of demons with a few mouthfuls of dragon breath.
The "Demon King" Kurul was beheaded by Kyle's sword, and his detached body had fallen to the ground, walking the same path as his legion leader Kazak.
After his vision was cleared, Jiang Weihan noticed the battle situation on Akmund's side.
The Polluter is blocked by the Twilight Dragon, which is what he wants to see the most!
Jiang Weihan's spirits were greatly lifted, and he flew towards the battlefield with the wings of holy light. Now that he and the other heroes are in confidence, what else can Akmund do to stop them?
Akmund's claws scratched at several deep wounds in Dragonax's chest, causing the Twilight Dragon to bleed. The young Dragonax let out a bitter roar that he reacted. Start using your natural ability - Void!
When Akmund attacked again, Dragonax was attacking the head. However, according to the speed of the attack, it is obvious that Akmund will hit the dragon first, and even have time to dodge after completing the attack.
Akmund decided that this would be the case. He continued his attacks. But unexpectedly, when he was about to scratch the throat of the other party, the Twilight Dragon in front of him suddenly transformed into a void form, and his attack only grabbed air.
He paused for a moment. However, in the next moment, the other party immediately fired back. After dodging the attack. Dagoonax was a physical entity again, the claws still in their original positions. Just a little distance from Akmund's head.
Shocked into a cold sweat, Akmund hurriedly lowered his head, the dragon's claws grazing the back of his neck, shattering the armor behind his back.
This strange ability was a huge headache for Akmund.
By this time, Kurul's legions had been routed. For Akmund, Jiang Weihan and others, who are the biggest threat, have rushed up one after another.
"Is my end now?" The green glow in Akmund's eyes dimmed, and he even wanted to give up resistance.
He could no longer find any way to escape. All his resistance had become meaningless, and the final scene of the illusion should be about to begin.
His death, and the shattering of the world.
Whether it was Jiang Weihan and his side, or Akmund himself, they all thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion.
But at this moment, something happened suddenly.
The ground beneath their feet began to tremble, like a furious beast shaking violently, making it difficult for people to even stand.
"Earthquake!" Jiang Weihan's face changed, and he stuck his staff into the ground to maintain his balance.
Thrall suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, elemental spirits! They tell me that the world is collapsing! β
When the accident happened, Akmund also froze, and then he began to laugh wildly: "Kilgardan, my good brother! So that's your choice! β
Hearing Akmund's roar, Prophet Velon's expression became extremely sad, "It's Kil'Gardan, he's using a spell to destroy the world!" β
"What should I do?"
Everyone looked at each other. No one could have imagined that Kil'Gardan would have such an ability - in that case, why didn't he use it early in the morning and wait until this time to do so?
There is no longer any desire to find out.
Jiang Weihan gritted his teeth and said, "Crassus, Onexia." Saberian, you leave with all the people who can't fly! β
"Quinn! Tell everyone to return to the fortress immediately! β
He then said to Kyle and the others, "Let's go kill Akmund." This is our last chance! β
In the end, only five people remained: Jiang Weihan, Kyle, Karsas, Cassadine, and Khadga. Sinestra and Dragonax, mother and son, did not leave. It's blocking other demons.
Originally, Thrall also wanted to stay, and under normal circumstances, the Wind Spirit could help him fly. But now all the elemental spirits in the Outlands were in a state of utter panic. He was barely able to cast any shamanic spells.
So he could only say "take care" to Jiang Weihan and others.
Jiang Weihan saw that some huge cracks had begun to appear on the earth, and some places began to sink one after another. The prophet Vilun was right when he said that the world was being ruined.
Akmund's opponent, Dragonax, was panicked by the sudden turn of events, and he now finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief, perhaps the last.
He shouted angrily to the sky: "Kilgardan! You live up to your title! The Burning Legion is yours! β
Akmund knew best how powerful the spell was now. The final scene of his vision, the corpse floating in a completely shattered space, will soon become reality.
His "good brother" is using the world to bury him!
No one will sympathize with this great demon, even if he is betrayed.
Jiang Weihan whispered to the rest of the people: "Let's go, let's complete the last thing together!" β
The earth is crumbling. Although Jiang Weihan had ordered the others to retreat into the Broken Spire, no one knew if it would survive the destruction of the world. This may be the last journey of these people in the outer lands, or it may be Jiang Weihan's last journey.
Khadgar stretched out his hand, and the most sincere smile appeared on his old face: "It is my greatest honor to walk with you!" β
"It's my pleasure too!" Karthas smiled and put his hand on it.
Then there's Cassadine's hand, Kang Weihan's hand, and Kyle's hand.
Jiang Weihan saw Kyle take off his hand armor and gently pressed his palm against the back of his hand. He looked at the angel, the first hero he summoned after the crossing, and the one who might accompany him to his final moments. There are some indescribable feelings in my heart.
It was a wonderful and thrilling journey of life, and if there was a future, he would definitely record it.
The five heroes regained their weapons and flew through the air towards Akmund, who was kneeling on the ground. The severe earthquake made it difficult for him to stand still.
The flame was kindled at the Silver Judgment. Jiang Weihan shouted loudly to the great demon, "Your time is up, Akmund!" β
Akmund staggered to his feet, his countenance distorted by the betrayal of his good brother and his own impending death.
"You're going to bury me!" Akmund shouted frantically. "The whole world will be buried for me!"
"You go and die first!"
The five heroes rushed forward in unison, and Akmund resisted wolf-like. While laughing wildly.
"We're all going to die!"
Khadgar unleashed a furious arcane energy that burst through Akmund's left shoulder.
"You'll die too!"
The incantation Chanting of Karthus ended, and a powerful annihilation energy exploded above Akmund's head. Blood covered his entire face, making him look as terrifying as the devil.
"The world is about to be ruined! All worlds! His voice began to tremble, and his resistance began to become weak.
Cassadine's Void Blade stabbed into Akmund's abdomen and stirred it several times, causing Acmund's screams to be in great pain.
"Kilgardan, you're going to die too! Hahaha......" Akmund's screams were mixed with vicious curses, he was cursing his "good brother".
At this point, Kyle's sword stabbed into Akmund's body for the third time, following the wounds from the previous two stabs, and the burning flames of the Sword of Judgment ignited all the internal organs in Akmund's chest.
The polluter had stopped resisting completely, and he shuddered and fell to his knees on the ground that was about to topple, his eyes staring into the distance.
A purple dragon was stumbling across the bumpy ground, and the greed in his eyes was palpable.
Jiang Weihan put his sword on Akmund's neck and said, "Do you have any other good last words?" β
All weapons were aimed at the dying Akmund. No accident could stop his death now.
The evil energy in Akmund's eyes was fading, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.
"Preserve my body...... May I? β
The big bug Kgmo has left the dragon's back. But another dragon nakedly coveting his body was coming. He didn't want his body to be desecrated.
Jiang Weihan was silent for a moment, and he also saw Dragonax, who was rushing over. The Twilight Dragon's undisguised intentions can also be seen.
He nodded, "Yes." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. After receiving the promise, Akmund's expression softened, and he looked at Jiang Weihan, there was no longer a green light representing evil power in his eyes, "Jiang Weihan, this is your name - in return, I will give you a piece of advice when I am dying: the order of the Titans is not necessarily correct, and the destruction of the Burning Legion is not necessarily wrong." Someday. The Burning Legion of this world will also be destroyed. It doesn't have anything to do with me anymore, but I would say that without the Burning Legion, the end of time would have come much sooner. It will affect all the worlds and destroy all the qiΔ...... More complete than the destruction of the Burning Legion. β
"If you destroy the Legion in the future, I hope that by then you will have thoroughly understood the duties of the Burning Legion and found a way to fight against the end of time and against the Elder Gods."
"Finally, please tell SΓΉ Vilon, I ...... I'm so sorry. β
"I've woken up from a big dream. And is about to enter another dream that may be even longer. β
As he said his last words, Akmund's voice grew lower, and finally he became inaudible.
Jiang Weihan saw that Akmund's eyes had slowly closed, and he could feel the breath of the other party losing his life.
He took back the Silver Judgment. And whispered: "He's dead." β
That's right, without Jiang Weihan's hands, Akmund is already dead. Several other people checked and confirmed the result.
The polluter who ruined countless worlds died like this. All five of their heroes were witnesses and people who personally contributed to this outcome.
But everyone's heart is a little solemn.
What was the meaning of Akmund's last words?
At the end of time, Jiang Weihan knew the name. In the game, Nozdom mentions if Deathwing finishes "Cataclysm". Azeroth would be like that: the world would be shattered, and the vast majority of people would die. The rest will also go completely insane, and only the Elder God and his minions will survive and take over the entire world.
But what Akmund called "the end of time" is obviously a different concept.
It doesn't need to be the destruction of Deathwing, but it will affect all worlds, destroying all of them - if this is true, it will be a real catastrophe from which no one can escape.
And both accounts have one thing in common, that is, the Elder God is likely to be the murderer who launched the end of time.
But is this true? If it was fake, what was Acmund's intention in doing so? Let Jiang Weihan be merciful to the Burning Legion in the future?
But they all knew very well that Kilgardan had just betrayed Akmund. He himself is going to die, how can he intercede for Kil'Gardan?
Jiang Weihan's mind was full of questions, but he didn't have time to think about it. In front of them, the earth was filled with terrifying rifts, and many places began to sink, sliding into the endless void.
Dragonax, who had just stumbled over, was standing on an overturned plate, and he almost fell into the bottomless abyss, but luckily he had wings and finally flew.
Dragonax's target was still Akmund's corpse, and he flew in this direction.
Jiang Weihan had just promised Akmund to preserve his body, which was also the respect that a strong man should have. If the other party's last words are true, he should fulfill his promise.
"Go back!" Jiang Weihan glared at Dragonax and drove him away.
Dlagonax roared unwillingly, he was not Jiang Weihan's servant, he only accepted the orders of the Dragon Mother Sinestra. Seeing that this mortal was going to stop him from eating, he immediately became angry, and was even ready to spit dragon breath!
Jiang Weihan's brows furrowed, and he motioned to Cassadine, and the Void Walker immediately appeared in front of the dragon across the void, releasing a void orb, in which the mysterious power interrupted the dragon breath that Dragonax was about to spew.
"Lady Sinestra, take care of your dragon!" Jiang Weihan shouted at the sky.
The Mother of Dragons has been roaming the skies, keeping an eye on the battle below. She also wants Dragonax to eat Akmund's corpse and become stronger, so she can get revenge!
But now that Dragonax has not grown to the point where she can single out all the heroes, the consequences of her early activation will be unpredictable.
She was depressed, but she didn't dare to order Dragonax to make a move, so she could only tell him to leave in a huff.
Jiang Weihan saw that the plate where Akmund's body was located also began to sink into the abyss, so he didn't have to worry about Dragonax being greedy.
"Let's go back! Let's see if we can get Storm Fortress activated! β
ββ
The entire Outlands are completely crumbling, like a catastrophe that will destroy the world. All the creatures are terrified, for this is their end!
Outside the world is the Void, according to Earth, Outer Space, not a distorted Void.
The two are different.
The Twisted Void is the membrane of the universe, and the creatures inside don't have to eat and don't go hungry. If you don't get hunted by other creatures, you'll never die. And the void is the space outside the planet, that is, outer space. In that extremely cold vacuum, even germs die, let alone humans who need to breathe and eat?
Jiang Weihan quickly flew back to the Broken Spire, hoping that when Kil'Gardan channeled this world-destroying spell, he would let go of the confinement of the outer dimension, so that Naru's spaceship could successfully shuttle.
It was the only way he could think of a way to survive.
He hoped that the path would work, otherwise they would really have to bury Akmund! (To be continued......) R1292
