Chapter 248: Banishment
If Azeroth still bears a bit of the shadow of the Earth, then the Outlands are completely otherworldly.
Following the clues left by Jobika, Li Quan walked through the dark gates of the Cursed Lands alone and broke into the Outlands to find her and Canressad's traces.
The Dark Gate side of the Hellfire Peninsula is much calmer than expected. Li Quan was not ambushed, no one guarded the place, the huge dark door towered over the reddish-brown cracked earth, and the terrace was empty. Lightning and thunder thundered in the air, the void turbulence surged, and shattered pieces of land could be seen suspended in mid-air, showing desolation.
This is the dying world. Being here made Li Quan feel very depressed, and he hoped to find these two people as soon as possible.
Standing on the empty terrace square, Li Quan took out the diary left by Jobika again, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"Jobica's journal clearly reveals a message: she and Kanressad quickly split up after arriving in the Outlands, Jubika is looking for some kind of way to drive the demon, but Kanressad wants to master the technique of demonic power possession, it is really bold, no wonder, all the problems are here!"
Kanressad used to write to him in demonic language, and Kanressad himself seemed to be at a loss. It was clear that he had already begun to study this taboo at that time—even for evil warlocks!
What the demonic power was, Li Quan didn't know. But he knows that any overly powerful side gate power often requires the winner to pay a relatively greater price!
The journal says that Kanressad has made a breakthrough in her research in Shadowmoon Valley, but the results have made her a little worried about Kanressad. The journal mentions the men's 'final adventure', indicating that the place they traveled to was quite dangerous. Jubika reserved a way back for herself in advance. In Shadow Moon Valley, there is only one place that can be called absolutely dangerous, and that is ......"
Dark Temple!
Thinking of the Dark Temple, Li Quan also thought of another person he knew who also possessed demonic powers, Illidan Fury.
It's just that he met in a different timeline, and the Illidan of this world doesn't know who he is.
"Looks a bit of a hassle. Well...... Just a little bit of trouble. ”
Standing silently in place, Li Quan closed his eyes, and his majestic divine sense was released in an instant—like a tsunami that swept through the entire Hellfire Peninsula, came to the Shadow Moon Valley, and shrouded the dark temple......
"There are a lot of strange plants here, after all, it was once a completed world. If you have the chance, send someone over and collect it. ”
Thinking casually in his heart, Li Quan meditated: Plant fusion, the second stage!
It's a miracle. Through the integration of spirit and body with plants, he could feel that the whole world had been subverted, and a larger, expansive, and exciting super perspective appeared in front of him, at this moment, he was nature, he was all things, he was God!
"Teleport!"
In an instant, the figure who was still standing under the dark door came to a majestic building with a majestic gaze, his small figure was engulfed by the shadow of the building, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be dark, and the incomparable majesty and strong sense of oppression would make the weak collapse without a fight.
This is the lair of the de facto master of the Outlands, Illidan the Betrayer. Anyone who dares to break into this territory is doing so at their own death.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Quan broke into this dark temple.
"If you don't know how to perceive plants, you're going to get lost here...... Hey? ”
He was a little surprised that the road was unimpeded, and he thought that he would encounter Illidan's men, those Naga and the blood elves, but after his divine sense was released, he had not yet encountered a single guardian in the huge temple.
"Strange, could it be...... Huh......" He sighed in surprise again, his divine sense was pinpointing a certain direction, and there, through the plants, he observed that there were many people gathered at the scene, including Naga, blood elves, and ......
"That's ...... Kamressad? ”
Li Quan had a hint of surprise on his face, and then quickly teleported through the fusion of plants.
The situation on the scene can only be described as chaotic.
Hundreds of people were besieging a strange man who was about three meters tall and looked extremely strong. The strange man had a pair of demonic wings on his back, and his entire body was purple sandalwood—a typical demonic skin. There are a pair of curved horns on his head, his eyes are blood-red, and he attacks the people around him with his teeth and claws. The Naga and the Blood Elves who were attacked by him were all flying with flesh and blood, and they had no power to resist.
Seeing this monster, Li Quan's face suddenly became gloomy: "Kanressad...... Has it become so serious? Is this already out of mind? ”
He stared at the vicinity vigilantly, there was such a big movement here, he didn't believe the owner here, the extremely shrewd Night Elf genius didn't know. Illidan is probably around here. He is not afraid of a head-on 1-on-1. It's just that his always cautious and cautious personality makes him try to avoid factors that may cause the gutter to capsize.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Dark Temple is under his surveillance, and Illidan is probably not as convenient as him as the master.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his consciousness.
"Jubica? She's alive! Li Quan's surprised heart immediately showed joy. Just behind a bush not far from here, he saw a sneaky figure hiding from the surrounding Naga and Blood Elves, and was staring intently at the battle on the field, it was Jobika.
In terms of appearance, Jubika is quite complete...... After all, she is an undead, strictly speaking, Jobika is not a living person in the first place, as long as her soul is not destroyed and her body is generally intact, she will be fine. That's the advantage of being an undead.
Before coming, Li Quan had prepared for the worst: according to the clues left by Jubica's journal, find her wreckage and soul fragments, and then find Kanressad. I didn't expect Jobika to be alive, which couldn't be better.
He teleported at once.
Before a pair of hands touched Jobika's back, a dagger slashed at him viciously, Jubika turned around sharply, and was about to attack, when he saw that it was Li Quan with a stunned face.
"How are you?"
Li Quan said with a wry smile: "Can you put down the weapon first?" Jobica's dagger was in the most fatal part of his lower body, I really didn't expect her to be so vicious, and she reacted quickly.
"......" Jobika hesitated for a moment and withdrew the dagger, which was obviously not really a weapon used in hand-to-hand combat, but a spell-casting dagger used by warlocks. Obviously, Li Quan's sudden appearance made her very nervous, and she didn't even have time to cast the spell.
"Why are you here?" Jobica asked again.
"I received your letter and went to your cabin." Li Quan said.
"So, you've found my log."
"That's right."
"Then you should know that it's already late, it's already ...... It's irretrievable. Jobika looked at the strange man who was still fighting the temple guards.
"That man...... Is it really Kanressad? Li Quan asked with a complicated expression.
Jobika was silent for a moment and nodded: "Demon transformation, I didn't expect that with the talent of Kanressad, he could actually do it to this extent......"
Li Quan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, of course he knew what Jubika was referring to. Kanressad, his cheap teacher's talent as a warlock is really sparse, and he is half a pound and a tael with him, an outsider student. It's hard to imagine that such a person with a waste wood talent has actually become a master warlock, known as the first warlock in the alliance. His talent for manipulating demons is unmatched, carrying two demons to fight, and with the actual combat slaughter tribe to kill the murderous name of the star of Nanhai Town, the starting point of Chiguoguo, the protagonist of the waste firewood flow.
However, such a person not only has an excellent talent for manipulating demons, but even made a step that no warlock dares to do, or even dare not think: he merges with demons, usurps the power of demons, and incarnates himself as a demon.
Kanressad did it! The terrifying combat power in front of him can be called the pinnacle of warlock technology in the form of a monster with one enemy and a hundred, which is enough to be unprecedented! But......
Obviously, it seems that it is because the demonic power is not so easy to be coerced, from the blood-red eyes after Kanressad's transformation, Li Quan can guess that Kanressad's transformation is out of control.
"Out of control?" Li Quan asked Qiu Bika in a low voice.
"Humanity will never stop at humanity, and should never attempt to master this power. Kanressad crossed the line. Instead of answering his question, Jobica said, "Now that things have come to this point, I have no choice. ”
Jobika turned to Li Quan, looked at him with unprecedented seriousness in her eyes for a moment, and finally sighed. Her tiredness could be heard in her voice, not physically, but mentally.
"Li Quan." This may be the first time that Jobika has seriously called out Li Quan's name, and she said, "If you want to save him, I advise you not to waste your strength." Although, I don't know exactly how Kanressad managed to do this, but I am also a powerful warlock after all, and as far as I can guess, once this transformation gets out of control, the demonic power will reverse and erode the warlock's mind, and the longer it passes, the deeper the erosion will be, and finally it will become what you see: the warlock's own mind will be completely suppressed, and what is left is just a killing machine. Kanressad ...... We can't save him anymore. ”
Li Quan was silent. He had already guessed the result.
Reason told him that Jobika was right, and now, the powerful monster in front of him was no longer Kanresad, and Kanressad's own mind had been replaced, and even if it did, I am afraid that it would be buried deep under the power of the demon and lose itself. Even if it is recovered, it is no longer the same person. This is the price of power.
Emotionally, however, he didn't have much affection for his cheap teacher, but at best he took what he wanted: he wanted to learn magic, and Canresard liked his unique talent. However, after such a long time together, Kanressad is one of the few people who transcends the concept of "NPC" in Li Quan's heart. After all, he came through time, and he would never have any sense of belonging to this other world. And the care and care that Kanressad showed to him everywhere for a true disciple made him truly feel the true emotions from this man, and it was impossible for him to treat Kanressad as any other NPC anyway.
I gradually identified with this teacher in my heart, and once the relationship was established, it would become difficult to let go. Oh man, that's how weird it is......
At this moment, in Li Quan's heart, reason prevailed, but emotion made him painful.
This kind of pain comes and goes quickly.
After all the things he had been through, he had long since ceased to be the indecisive teenager. His knowledge of the true structure of the plane also led him to see many things: death was not the end. Higher, farther and farther it is all going on, and it never ends.
But......
Man, you can never get used to saying goodbye, right?
"Now...... What's the solution? Li Quan asked in a slightly dry voice.
"There's only one way." Jobika looked at the invincible demon on the scene, turned back to him, and said, "Like other demons, you can only banish." Kanressad is too powerful. Even if you might be able to defeat him head-on, he is now a complete demon, and for a demon, death is not the end, they can come back from the void. And this is absolutely unacceptable! ”
"Good!" Li Quan nodded, his eyes sharpened: "Let's ...... together." Banish him! ”
