Rise of the blood elves

226 [Illidan’s Crazy Act (Large Chapter)]

With the death of the last demon, the battle for the Skull of Gul'dan, which was sparked by Arthas' intelligence, finally came to an end.

Since they were deep behind enemy lines and could be attacked by demons at any time, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly began to treat the wounded.

"I can't believe we got help from a god."

Rokan shook off the magic blood on his weapon, looked at the giant bear not far away, and muttering to himself, he took out a box of ointment and handed it to Bullock, who was about to wrap up the wound with a ball of dirty bandages. Sri Lanka.

"Thank you."

Brooks thanked him, took it, bit open the lid with his teeth, dug out a ball of dark but very fragrant paste, and applied it to the bone-deep wound on his left arm.

zizi

White smoke came out of the wound, and the blood spurting out suddenly stopped. Just by hearing the sizzling sound, you knew it must be painful.

But Brooks looked like he was used to it, and expressionlessly tore off the bandage and wrapped it around his left arm a few times and tied it in a tight knot.

After stabbing an eredar mage who was pretending to be dead, Rokan walked up to Brox, gently placed his palm on the latter's wound, whispered a few prayers, and his palm glowed softly.The rolled skin on the edge of the bandage began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shadow hunters who use the power of voodoo are very good at stealth and assassination, and they are even better at detecting enemies, but this does not mean that they are not good at treating wounds.To a certain extent, shadow hunters are equivalent to advanced versions of witch doctors. They can do almost everything that witch doctors can do, and they are not like the latter who are unable to fight on the front line due to their physical weakness.

Trolls who can become Shadowhunters all have excellent physical fitness, as well as powerful spiritual power that can connect with Loa on a deeper level.

All these factors have made the Shadow Hunters powerful, and their extremely high talent requirements have also resulted in their numbers remaining very rare.But any shadow hunter is a rare expert among the Darkspear trolls and even the tribe.

"Thank you, troll, I feel better."

Brooks thanked him again.

On the other side, Broll Bearskin had returned to his human form, leading the night elf team towards Ursoc with reverence.

Ursok, who almost defeated the demon army by himself, looked very tired and sat down regardless of the demon corpses on the ground.The ground shook violently, and whether it was the hard demon armor or the fragments of hellfire, they were all crushed to pieces by the giant bear's incomparable weight.

His brother Ursol also approached slowly with a staff in his mouth and treated Ursoc's injuries.

Demigods are not gods. There are no gods in the endless world where Azeroth is. Even the Titans, who are omnipotent in the eyes of mortals, are just a transcendent race that is countless times more powerful. There is a limit to their power.

Being surrounded by hundreds of demons, in such an intense battle, even though Ursok's majestic body contained the majestic power of nature, he could not avoid being completely injured.

"Thank you for your help, Ursoc and Ursol."

Brower said with an extremely humble salute.The rest of the night elves also knelt down respectfully and saluted.

During the long years of harmonious coexistence with nature, several demigods who often appeared in the night elves' habitats were the most popular among the people. In addition to Cenarius, who spread the Druid teachings to the world, they also included these two The bear brother who taught the druid to transform into the form of a giant bear.

Meeting these two demigods who loved nature and fought against evil in the ancient wars, no night elf would not feel a sense of reverence.

"The world is once again invaded by demons. Nature is dying, and our followers are suffering. We cannot safely dwell in our lairs and ignore what is happening outside."

Ursok did not speak, but his eyes flashed, and a deep and peaceful voice sounded in everyone's heart, "This is a very risky operation, little night elf, why are you here?"

Broll looked at the Skull of Gul'dan, which was being held by Illidan at the edge of the battlefield, and replied: "The demons are trying to use that evil artifact to corrupt the forest. Once they succeed, the forest will die completely, and the coalition forces will The transfer of troops will also become very difficult.”

"I can feel the huge evil energy contained in that skull." Ursok nodded, "Get ready to set off, little night elf, as we speak, more demons are coming here. ."

The giant bear's eyes stayed on Angmar for a while, then turned to look at his brother Ursol, maintaining a motionless posture. During this period, only the brilliance in his eyes kept flashing. Finally, as if they had reached a consensus, they nodded to each other. nodded.I don’t know what the private conversation between these two demigod brothers, who are connected with each other, was about.

at the same time.

The artifact that could solve the plight of the northern tribes in the Eastern Continent was right in front of him. Luo Ning couldn't help but take two steps forward, only to find that Illidan's behavior was a little strange.

He knew that the latter had heard the evil whispers of the Skull of Gul'dan. Although he knew that Illidan was very powerful, he still kindly reminded him: "Lord Illidan, Gul'dan's essence remains in this skull. Be sure to Beware of the demagogic whispers within.”

The Skull of Gul'dan had been studied by Dalaran for many years, and Ronin was familiar with this artifact.

The remaining Gul'dan spirit will always tell researchers Gul'dan's views on evil energy during his lifetime and his knowledge of evil energy that surpasses all mortal races.

Considering the danger of fel energy itself, even if the Skull of Gul'dan does not have autonomous consciousness, it is a valuable artifact that broadens the understanding of the field of fel energy and deepens the understanding of demons. After a period of research, Dalaran It is still classified as the most dangerous type of items and sealed.

More than one Skull of Gul'dan researcher came up with many novel ideas after hearing the whispers. As a result, when put into practice, ten times it led to disastrous consequences, either summoning a demon in the city, or Drained his life force.

I really don’t know whether to define them as pioneers who learned the truth and risked their lives, or as fools who ignored the dangers of evil.

"Please kill this demon as soon as possible. We must leave as soon as possible. It is not safe here." Ronin glanced at Tichondrius and suggested.

Although the imprisoned Dread Lord's face was distorted by pain, he generally seemed calm and unusually calm. He glanced at the crowd with a sarcastic expression, as if he was mocking the victory achieved by these mortals as a meaningless one. Just for my own entertainment.

Any demon who fights endless battles is not afraid of death.

Unless they are killed in the Twisting Nether, even if their bodies die, their souls will return to the Twisting Nether, waiting for another rebirth in a long time.

In short, demons cannot be completely eliminated in the real world.

This is what Tichondrius relies on.

Luo Ning knew this well.

The mages of Dalaran knew this a long time ago.Due to their high reliance on magic, many demons were attracted to Dalaran. Among them were demons with the intention of destroying the world, and there were also greedy people who came simply to absorb energy.

In order to resist the invasion of demons, the Council of Tirisfal came into being.

Although this mage organization has developed and grown, its purpose has expanded from protecting a city and a clan from demonic threats to expelling all demons from Azeroth, but its essence has not changed at all, which is to get rid of demonic threats. It greatly reduces the panic caused by demons among the unsuspecting people at the bottom.

This organization is unknown to the public, and all its actions are kept secret. However, the relevant knowledge acquired in repeated confrontations with demons has been summarized into a unilateral popular knowledge book based on the principle of strengthening people's prevention. It was placed in Dalaran's library after there were no necessary points of knowledge that could be used by unscrupulous or reckless mages to carry out demonic experiments.

Years pass, and time passes. When long-hidden secrets come to light, the mysteries of the past are no longer mysterious. When magical civilization develops to a certain extent, when many past events in ancient times are understood through communication with high-level blood elves. When... The orcs enslaved by demons have invaded this world. For the people of Dalaran and even other countries, demons are no longer a distant term that only exists in legends.

Now basically everyone knows about the immortality of demons.

"Of course I know."

Illidan said without raising his head. With a flash of magic in his hand, he actually raised the Skull of Gul'dan towards Tichondrius. I don't know what method he used, but a large amount of evil energy was extracted from the body of the Dread Lord. It was peeled off, swirled towards the Skull of Gul'dan, and through some unknown process, finally flowed into the green magic pattern on Illidan's bare chest.

The forest was once again filled with strong evil energy, and everyone looked over with emotion.

"No, no, you madman, if you don't stop, please stop."

Not only the evil energy in his body, but also his soul was gradually leaving the body. Tichondrius suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart. He could no longer maintain the original shock. He howled in panic and his eyes repeatedly drifted to An. Gema seemed to feel that Illidan's methods of dealing with him were all the ideas of this "prophet".

The well-informed Ronin immediately judged Illidan's intention, which was to absorb the evil power of Gul'dan's Skull and even Tichondrius.

How crazy must a person be to inject evil energy into his body?

This is asking for death

Luo Ning said in shock: "What are you doing?"

Illidan clenched his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and his whole body was trembling. Big beads of sweat slid down from the sculpture-like muscles of his body, which looked quite painful.

"Even if we defeat the demon here, it is meaningless. They will regroup in the twisted void, come back, and continue to launch another attack on us. I am really killing a demon that threatens our world, the mage. By the way, experiment Here’s my new idea”

"Oh my God, this is so crazy you're going to kill yourself."

Ronin was so anxious that he was spinning on the spot. He wanted to stop Illidan's spell immediately, but he was worried that the rash intervention of his magic power would cause the massive amount of evil energy to fall into imbalance and increase the speed of Illidan's death.

As his power was taken away, Tichondrius could no longer shout, and his successive struggles became increasingly weak.

"Your Highness Jaina, come and help me." Luo Ning shouted for help. "Angemar, don't stand there stupidly. You are responsible for cutting off the evil energy link. Your Highness and I will be ready to teleport. I will be in the link." At the moment of being cut off, cast a spell to teleport everyone to a safe place to avoid the explosion caused by the imbalance of evil energy. Quick, quick."

In Ronin's eyes, Illidan has turned into a madman.

With such a movement, Jaina, Maiev, Lorkan and others ran over quickly. After seeing Illidan's crazy behavior, they all turned pale with horror.

Others don't understand what such a move means, how can the night elves not understand?

During the War of the Ancients, too many high-ranking elves succumbed to the power and bright future promised by the Lord of the Burning Legion, and readily accepted the fate of being transformed by evil energy, turning into ugly satyrs.

Until 1000 years after the end of the War of the Ancients, the surviving satyrs were still secretly plotting to fulfill their master's wishes, and finally started a protracted war with their former compatriots known as the "Sartre's War" in history. The recovering night elves took a heavy toll.

The root of everything lies in the endless greed for power

The demigod brothers Ursok also came close with rumbling steps. Then they became extremely angry and roared in a deep voice: "Mortal, you are coveting a power that does not belong to you."

Illidan sneered dismissively and ignored it at all.

His disrespect for the demigods made Broll Bearskin and other druids furious, but no matter what, saving people came first. They could not watch a compatriot become a slave of evil energy. No one could do it here. Under the control of such corrupting forces, he still remained awake and rational.

Just when everyone was about to forcefully stop Illidan, Angmar took a step forward and stopped everyone.

"Angema" Luo Ning looked at Angama in surprise and said, "Get out of the way."

Angmar sighed secretly in his heart. The reason why he allowed Illidan to do what he did instead of stopping him when he had the opportunity was because he had been able to determine that Illidan in this real world was the "son of light and darkness." , rather than the villain in the early setting.

Perhaps the direct reason for Illidan's specialness is that he absorbed the evil power from the Skull of Gul'dan and transformed into an extremely powerful half-demon form.But the fundamental reason lies in his extremely firm willpower and his tenacity to achieve his goals regardless of sacrifice.

Angmar believes that for Illidan, even if he does not go through the current "transformation" process similar to the canonical history, he will do everything possible to find another strength to fight against the evil Burning Legion.

In Angmar's view, Illidan's path in official history cannot be said to be the only feasible path, but it is undoubtedly the most direct and effective.Rather than putting obstacles in the way of Illidan's fate, it is better to ensure that Illidan in this timeline will form the Illidari, destroy the Dread Lords' planet, attack the plane of Marton, and cause the Burning Legion time and time again just like in the official history. A major blow.

And all Angmar needs to do is try to erase the negative consequences of Illidan's reckless behavior.For example, think of a way to focus the spells of the Eye of Sargeras on the Icecrown Glacier to minimize the damage to other creatures on that continent. Of course, this is the most ideal state, and it will be extremely difficult to achieve.

And it looks like

Not only did Illidan have to absorb the evil energy in the Skull of Gul'dan, but he also had to help seal Tichondrius into his body. This was a necessary step in the way of the demon hunter. Angmar had no idea that it would happen so early. At this point in time, Illidan had perfected his idea for this spell.

Of course, it could also be just a desperate attempt.

In terms of the level of evil power, Angmar personally believes that even Gul'dan during his lifetime only reached a level similar to Tichondrius.

Don't think that this is a slight on Gul'dan. You must know that if the high-level demons of the Burning Legion are divided into four levels of strength, except for the lofty Sargeras, who is at the first level that no one can touch, his strength is boundless. Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, the two legion deputies, are at the second level, and the third level is high-level commanders like Tichondrius.

Even with a series of dazzling auras such as "the most powerful warlock among mortals", "the most talented warlock" and so on, Gul'dan is only slightly better than Tichondrius at best. This is still the maximum estimate. .

As far as he knew, maybe the Skull of Gul'dan had been strengthened in some way in the Tomb of Sargeras, but in any case, the evil energy contained in it was difficult to compare with the evil energy contained in the intact Tichondrius.

So once Illidan succeeds, he may become far more powerful than in the official history.

Angmar shook his head at everyone, his meaning clearly revealed.

He could imagine the possible consequences of his actions.

Malfurion may lose his trust in Illidan as in the canon, draw a line with him, and banish his brother forever.He would even be unable to understand why the "prophet" he respected so much not only did not stop Illidan's crazy behavior, but instead blocked everyone from stopping him.

"Angemar, he will kill himself, so get out of the way"

Luo Ning and Jaina were extremely worried.

They originally wanted to avoid Angmar, but were surprised to find that although the demigod Ursoc brothers still seemed to hate evil energy, they respected Angmar's wishes very much, put away their anger, no longer showed any attitude, and quietly Watch from the sidelines.

The night elves, including Maiev and Broll Bearskin, also stepped aside, as if Angmar was their insurmountable will.

As for the tribal side

“Without sacrifice, there is no victory.”

Angmar looked back at Illidan who was in extreme pain and muttered to himself.
