Chapter 631: Gul'dan's Skull(2/4)
A piercing scream was released from the skull.
In an instant, a dozen of the closest night elf female warriors fell to the ground in pain, with dark red blood dripping from their mouths, noses and eyes.
If their immortal bodies hadn't protected their souls, they would all be dead by now.
Obviously, before all the energy was sucked away by Illidan, this thing was definitely qualified to be called an artifact.
Anyone holding it can cast all warlock spells at will, easily enslave powerful Burning Legion demons like the Doom Guard, and even release evil energy to directly pollute a large virgin forest.
As for the Skull of Gul'dan that players get in the game, it should have been drained of energy, leaving only a negligible residual power.
The gap between the two is simply overwhelming.
The most important thing is that through the Skull of Gul'dan, Zuo Si can vaguely feel the thousands of portals built by the Burning Legion in the huge physical universe, and can also utilize the energy of these portals to a certain extent.
The reason why Ner'zhul tore Draenor apart into today's Outland was to take advantage of the close connection between Gul'dan and the Burning Legion's portal.
Immediately afterwards, Illidan also took advantage of this when he blew up the Dreadlord's home planet of Nathresa.
In fact, this is not the power of the above two spellcasters themselves, but the energy injected by the Burning Legion to maintain the huge portal system.
Under the influence of this amazing energy, it would be easy to tear apart a planet.
The principle is probably similar to detonating the huge arcane energy in the Well of Eternity twice.
In the face of this kind of power, the Blue Dragon King's artifact, the Focusing Iris, is nothing more than a younger brother.
"Exchange? What can you offer me?"
Illidan stared at the Skull of Gul'dan and asked bluntly.
He has never been picky about things like strength.
After all, this was a man who could jump from druid to mage, then from mage to demon hunter, and finally gained the power of a warlock with the help of the Skull of Gul'dan.
And when he became a mage, he did not neglect to practice his melee combat ability.
As a mage, Illidan was even able to defeat powerful demons one after another in hand-to-hand combat during the War of the Ancients.
Even many elite warriors couldn't last more than a few rounds in front of him.
"What do you think of this?"
While speaking, Zuo Si directly cast a Dalaran summoning magic.
moment!
A huge corpse of the Abyss Lord appeared out of thin air in front of the altar. It was none other than Mannoroth, who had been sucked alive by Grom Hellscream not long ago.
Just when this guy's soul wanted to escape back to the Twisting Void to wait for rebirth, it was directly grabbed by Zuo Si who was hiding in the dark, and the source of his evil energy was sealed in his withered body.
So purely in terms of power and value, it is obviously much higher than the Skull of Gul'dan.
If Illidan can absorb and seal Mannoroth's power, then he will definitely be more powerful than himself in the original timeline, and he will also be able to obtain a lot of information about the Burning Legion.
"This is... Mannoroth? You actually killed him!"
As a veteran of the War of the Ancients, Illidan recognized this terrifying Abyss Lord at a glance.
"No, I didn't kill it, but a group of orcs killed him. What I did was just prevent his soul from escaping back to the Twisting Nether. What about, you should be able to accept it in exchange for the Skull of Gul'dan, right?
"
Zuo Si's tone was full of sincerity.
After all, the demon hunter in front of him was one of the few people in the world that he truly admired.
Whether it is self-sacrifice and evil and dark means to fight against the enemy and save one's hometown, or the kind of determination to follow one's own path, regardless of the evaluation of the outside world, it is admirable from the heart.
The most important thing is that during the period of falling into darkness, Illidan never truly forgot his original intention until he achieved his goal and imprisoned the Dark Titan Sargeras.
Illidan touched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded happily and agreed: "Okay, I accept the deal you proposed.
But I'm a little curious, why are you so interested in the Skull of Gul'dan?
From a purely energy and strength perspective, Mannoroth's value is obviously higher.
What's more, as Archimonde's top general, he must know many secrets about the Legion."
"The specific reasons are very complicated and I am not comfortable explaining them.
All you need to know is that I have no ill intentions towards you or the night elves.
Quite the opposite.
I am an enemy of the Burning Legion and will lead my army to join forces with you to resist Archimonde's attack.
Well, now that the deal has been reached, I won't disturb you in absorbing the power of the Abyss Lord.
You must know that Tyrande and Malfurion may come to visit you at any time.
I'm not sure how they'll react to seeing you drawing on Mannoroth's power."
After that, Zuo Si left a meaningful smile and quickly left with the Skull of Gul'dan.
Hearing the name of his brother and the one he loved deeply, Illidan's heart obviously fluctuated a little, and his expression was full of hesitation and struggle.
To become one of the most powerful mages in the world, he cannot be an idiot. Of course, he knows the hostility, even hatred, of the current night elf society towards the Burning Legion and demons.
Once he absorbs the power of Mannoroth, his body will inevitably have demonic features, such as horns, wings, claws and hooves, just like those fallen satyrs.
When the time comes, Malfurion will definitely accuse him immediately and even imprison him again.
Tyrande would never fall in love with a monster with a demonic appearance.
But similarly, Illidan knew better than any night elf how powerful the Dark Titan Sargeras and his Burning Legion were.
With the current strength of the native residents of Azeroth, it is simply a fantasy to defeat the opponent.
You must know that even in the ancient war with the largest invasion, the other party only sent a negligible army, which may not be one ten thousandth, one hundred thousand, or one millionth of the total number of the Burning Legion.
Therefore, he has always believed that if he wants to defeat the Burning Legion, he must first join them, understand them, and then find their most fatal weakness.
After a brief ideological struggle, Illidan was no longer confused at all. He directly handed over Tyrande to his night elf troops and sent him away. He began to absorb the power of the Abyss Lord on his own, and took Mannoroth's soul.
Extract it and seal it in your body.
This process lasted several hours.
After the magic ritual was completed, he had transformed from a tall and muscular night elf male into a burning demon with a height of over five meters and a pair of huge bat wings behind him.
There is no doubt that at this moment, Illidan has finally transformed into a complete demon hunter.
Especially the huge amount of knowledge and information obtained from the other party's soul allowed the Avenger who was determined to destroy the Burning Legion to get the information he wanted, and at the same time, he also formulated the next plan in his mind.
But before that, he still had one most important thing to do, which was to get rid of the source of corruption in Felwood - Tichondrius.
With the help of the huge wings behind him, Illidan soared directly into the air and hovered over the severely corrupted Felwood.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Once you find traces of the devil, you will immediately lower the height and start hunting unscrupulously.
Even though there was only one person, the demon he killed felt frightened.
For demon hunters, every hunt is equivalent to wresting precious power from demons.
As long as they kill enough, any demon hunter can gain strength, physical fitness, and magical talents that are comparable to their opponent's.
It didn't take long to clear away all the demons in Felwood, and finally they went straight to the largest portal in the area.
Tichondrius is being ordered to assemble troops here, intending to cooperate with Archimonde to advance towards Mount Hyjal from two directions.
But he never expected that before he could finish corrupting Felwood so that the night elves could no longer recruit allies, a god of death suddenly descended from the sky and summoned the elite Doom Guards by slashing three times with his sword.
The team killed everyone.
Even the Dreadlord himself may not be able to defeat these behemoths that are more than eight meters tall and hold huge swords burning with evil fire.
But Illidan not only killed them all, but he also continued to release spells to kill or banish the demons that were constantly coming from a distance. The whole set of actions was so smooth that he didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe.
"Stop him! Stop him quickly!"
Tichondrius was obviously very nervous. While calling for help to his men, he summoned two hellfires to hit Illidan's position.
Since the latter now looked like a demon, he did not recognize the demon hunter who had gained a reputation ten thousand years ago. Instead, he felt that an enemy in the legion wanted his life.
You must know that although the Burning Legion has a strict command system and superior-subordinate system, it is still prone to chaos in nature. It is believed that whoever has a bigger fist is qualified to climb to a higher position.
This is why Illidan went to Draenor to overthrow the rule of Magtheridon and claimed to be the King of Outland. However, instead of killing him, Kil'jaeden acknowledged this established fact and promised to destroy the Lich as long as he could complete it.
The mission of the king and the Scourge wiped out the previous betrayal.
"Dread Lord! Today is the day you die! No one can save you!"
Illidan grinned with a ferocious smile.
"Who sent you here? Isn't he afraid of offending Lord Archimonde?"
Tichondrius asked sternly, trying to scare the assassin in front of him with the name of the Defiler.
But how could Illidan, who had already had murderous intentions, be afraid of Archimonde?
After all, he was someone who dared to deceive even the Dark Titan Sargeras, so without even a word of nonsense, he picked up two war blades and launched a violent attack.
As for Tichondrius, apart from barely parrying, he had no ability to fight back at all, and could only retreat steadily.
