Only by risking everything can we achieve final victory.
Aegwynn looked terrible at that moment. His dragon scales were gone, his two horns had fallen off, and his four legs and a pair of wings had been cut off, making him look like a bloated worm.
But Aegwynn believed she had already won.
The Eye of Eternity's magic was completely depleted, and the Dragon itself was essentially a giant magic crystal.
Despite his weakness and limited magical energy, Kalecgos was still able to unleash several Dragon's Breath.
Without magic, Jaina is just an ordinary human woman.
Aegwynn was preparing to unleash her Dragon's Breath to end it all, but what unsettled her was Jaina's confident expression.
Jaina's faint smile sent a chill down Aegwynn's spine. She was not one to hesitate, and she opened her massive maw, ready to unleash Dragon's Breath.
A strange feeling arose, like a fishbone stuck in my throat, and the Dragon's Breath that had been brewing suddenly went out.
Aegwynn was secretly surprised; this abnormality originated from within her body.
When Kalecgos and Jaina were in love, they lived in Theramore. At that time, Aegwynn learned a great deal about Kalecgos through all means.
That is why Aegwynn chose Kalecgos as the Vessel for the soul exchange.
Unable to expel Dragon's Breath, Aegwynn felt a churning in his stomach, realized what was happening, gagged a few times, and then vomited something out.
It was a naked human woman, covered in mucus, who, despite being inside the Dragon's stomach for some time, showed no signs of being digested.
Jaina laughed, "My teacher, those so-called Dragons are nothing more than large beasts."
Aegwynn's gaze sharpened as he noticed the mysterious Runes covering the woman's body, which allowed her to resist the Dragon's digestive juices.
Because of this item, Kalecgos's mana was completely depleted.
This is Jaina's last trump card. Aegwynn's methods are unpredictable and can only be effective when both sides have exhausted their resources.
It turns out that ever since successfully ambushing Jaina, Kalecgos, like other man-eating beasts, had come to enjoy the feeling.
Before making contact with Aegwynn, Kalecgos hired several expeditions to scout Orgrimmar.
One of the teams had a pretty woman with the same golden hair as Jaina.
When it came time to pay the payment, Kalecgos, driven by savagery, ambushed the squad and swallowed the woman whole.
Unfortunately, Kalecgos was unaware that the woman was deliberately sent to him by Jaina to be devoured.
Having understood the whole story, Aegwynn's lips curled into a slight smile, and she said with satisfaction, "Jaina, you've finally grown up."
Jaina disliked Aegwynn's praise and, with a frosty expression, walked step by step to her teacher.
Without the support of magic, Aegwynn's body collapsed under her own weight, powerless and unable to move even slightly.
Jaina struggled to climb onto her teacher's head, and the sharp rapier plunged deep into the crevice of the skull.
The light in the Dragon's pupils went out, and its head tilted to one side.
A murky light flashed, and darkness filled the Eye of Eternity, interspersed with countless whispers.
Jaina felt her head throbbing, as if countless people were talking in her ears.
Thankfully, this annoying feeling only lasted a short while.
Jaina, drenched in sweat, sat atop the Dragon's head, a satisfied smile on her face; she was the ultimate winner.
The anomaly just now was the disappearance of Aegwynn's soul. The soul, Corruption by the Old Gods, contained the power of the Old Gods, and its shattering could temporarily affect a person's mind.
After Aegwynn fell, the Eye of Eternity was no longer a closed space, and Elemental Power poured in from all directions. Jaina meditated for a long time, and her mana was almost fully restored.
Taking a deep breath, Jaina stepped out of the Eye of Eternity Dragon, enveloped in powerful magic.
The cold wind of Northrend ruffled her hair as dozens of adult Blue Dragonflight slowly surrounded her, their eyes fixed on her menacingly.
Jaina's lips curled into a slight smile, "Do you seek revenge for your king? I tell you, Kalecgos was possessed by a dark spirit, and it was I who helped you slay the Evil Spirit."
"Who would believe that?" a Blue Dragonflight sneered.
Jaina's expression remained calm. "You don't need to believe me, but I must tell you that Kalecgos is still alive. His soul is temporarily sealed somewhere. If you kill me, Kalecgos will surely return in the near future to continue as his Aspect of the Blue."
The Blue Dragonflight cried out in unison.
The Blue Dragonflight had been aware of the battle at the Eye of Eternity for some time, but unfortunately, none of them were willing to help Kalecgos, preferring to see Jaina kill him.
After both sides are severely weakened, killing Jaina to avenge the Blue Dragonflight would uphold the dignity of the Blue Dragonflight.
"You don't want to believe it, do you?" Jaina pointed at Kalecgos's mangled body. "Look at this horrific state. You should be able to tell with your eyes that this is definitely not how Dragons fight. Before I found Kalecgos, his soul had already been switched."
That's right, no Dragon will abandon its scales and horns in battle.
Even more obvious evidence is the lingering aura of Aegwynn's shattered soul— Evil spirit not belonging to the dragon race—that sends chills down the spines of every Blue Dragonflight.
"You may return, but on the condition that Kalecgos never comes back; he is a disgrace to the Blue Dragonflight," a Blue Dragonflight proclaimed.
Jaina smiled and shook her head, saying, "Aren't you willing to pay a price?"
"Don't go too far," the Blue Dragonflight protested in unison.
Jaina said seriously, "My condition is simple: help me repair Kalecgos's body. That shouldn't be difficult for you. I will turn him into a puppet dragon and make him my mount. A Blue Dragonflight that becomes a mount, and is so weak, will not be able to face your Dragon King even after returning. Isn't that what you want?"
The Blue Dragonflight whispered among themselves, discussing the matter in their Draconic.
While it is a disgrace for the Dragon King to become a mount, it is not without precedent, after all, the Red Dragon Queen also laid Dragon Eggs for Orcs.
Compared to a useless Blue Dragonflight becoming the Dragon King, bossing people around and behaving arrogantly, this humiliation is acceptable.
"Very well, as you wish." The Blue Dragonflight reached an agreement and granted Jaina's request.
Jaina smiled easily, having finally dealt with Aegwynn and Kalecgos without incident.
Killing Kalecgos wasn't enough; Jaina needed to humiliate and enslave him to achieve her sense of vengeance.
Creating a puppet dragon requires a powerful soul, Jaina was prepared for this.
In the Duskwood, nestled among the mountains, lies a magically concealed Valley — the Winterstorm Academy, dedicated to training spies for the Burning Legion.
Deep underground, in a secret chamber, Meryl Winterstorm absentmindedly read a thick magical biography.
On the wooden table in front of him lay a Blue Dragonflight scale.
Aegwynn teleported the scale from the Eye of Eternity. Meryl knew the time had come and took the scale to the secret chamber that had been prepared beforehand.
The sealed room contained seven coffins, three of which were already open and empty.
After a long wait, a buzzing sound came from the scales.
Meryl hurriedly picked up the scales and opened the fourth coffin.
Inside the coffin lay a female Dreadlord, sleeping peacefully.
In the history of Azeroth, Dreadlords have always appeared as males.
There are indeed women among the Dreadlords, but they often transform into beautiful Succubus.
Meryl gripped the scales tightly with both hands and plunged them into the chest of the female Dreadlord.
