Sylvanas saw a running gold mountain.
"Mountains, let's move!"
The earth trembled violently, and with Tectus's roar, the ground cracked open, and countless golden boulders burst forth, converging on Sylvanas's location.
Sylvanas, now a Banshee, had blood-red eyes and her body was shrouded in a dense aura of darkness.
The Power of the Holy Light contained within the boulder clashed with Sylvanas's Power of Death, each consuming the other. Tectus gained the upper hand, gradually squeezing the space.
Sylvanas suddenly roared and soared into the sky, breaking free from Tectus's grasp. The Undead clouds that shrouded the Vale of Vale of Eternal Blossoms transformed into a malevolent wind, rushing into her body.
At this moment, Sylvanas was like a god, over a hundred meters tall, towering over heaven and earth, with endless death energy swirling around her.
Khadgar said with concern, "Sylvanas is very much like an Elemental Lords now."
Chen Stormstout's heart skipped a beat. "That's right, he looks almost exactly like the Firelord, the Lord of Death. Even the Lich King Arthas couldn't do that back then."
Khadgar sighed, looking at the terrified Tauren, Centaurs, and Quilboar:
"Arthas never abandoned the Holy Light, but that's precisely what I fear most. Compared to the rational Lich King, Sylvanas is a madwoman!"
Chen Stormstout was bewildered, only to see Sylvanas suddenly slash at Tectus with a dark dagger.
The mountain-like body of Tectus was split in two, but this did not truly harm him, splitting him into two Tectus.
Khadgar's eyes widened in surprise. "The Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire! How did this weapon end up in Sylvanas's hands?"
Chen Stormstout also found it unbelievable. "I heard that this weapon was sealed in a small world by the Twilight's Hammer, and even Thrall didn't get it."
"Unless," Khadgar took a deep breath, "This ominous artifact isn't the only one."
Sylvanas swung the Blade of the Black Empire time and again, tearing Tectus's mountain-like body into countless small pieces. These glittering stones swarmed towards Sylvanas like ants, climbing layer upon layer onto her massive body, continuing to drain her Power of Death.
Clearly, Tectus is connected to the Draenor World, Power of the Holy Light within him is virtually inexhaustible.
Tectus, now shattered into countless clones, once again gained the upper hand. Countless golden stones piled up into a mountain, gradually engulfing Sylvanas, leaving only her head exposed.
Sylvanas's deep growl echoed through the Vale of Eternal Blossoms: "Holy Light and death, life and death merge."
In the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, the Lightforging Centaurs, Tauren, and Quilboar who had been teleported there almost simultaneously let out painful roars. Their flesh and bones melted, turning into pools of blood that quickly merged together, soon forming a fleshy ball with a diameter of one kilometer.
Tens of thousands of soldiers perished just like that; before a schemer like Sylvanas, they were merely materials for casting spells.
Khadgar knelt on one knee, his face pale, and said, "My worst fears have come true. She has indeed merged the Holy Light with the Power of Death?"
Chen Stormstout exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? Although Sylvanas is intelligent, her talent and wisdom should not be comparable to Arthas'."
Khadgar shook his head and said cautiously, "Sylvanas can't do it, but Elune, can. Do you know why the Scourge withdrew from Azeroth? One reason is that Moon Goddess stole their technology. Arthas knows how to use power cautiously, but that madwoman Sylvanas is reckless, even if it means destroying Azeroth."
Sylvanas screamed again, transforming into a cloud of black mist that rose from the sky and entered the enormous fleshy ball.
The fleshy ball kept wriggling, and the Tectus, which had shattered into countless stones, reassembled and jumped up to slap the fleshy ball. Unfortunately, it was a little too late, and Sylvanas had already completed the hatching.
A thick tentacle blocked Tectus's attack and then wrapped around his body. The outer shell of the fleshy ball fell off, revealing Sylvanas's new body.
It was a terrifying creature as large as a mountain, covered with countless tentacles and eyes. In the very center was a face, and its huge mouth was full of sharp teeth. Half of its body was golden Power of the Holy Light, and the other half was dark Power of Death.
The tentacles of Holy Light and death grew rapidly, soon enveloping Tectus's body.
Two forces enveloped Tectus's body, forming a thin membrane that severed its connection with the outside world.
Tectus's golden light extinguished in an instant; unable to absorb the Holy Light from the outside world, it could not hold on for much longer.
Khadgar breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Sylvanas didn't actually merge Holy Light and Death, but used them separately."
Chen Stormstout complained, "Your men are about to be defeated, why aren't you thinking of a solution?"
Khadgar pulled another scroll from his robes, tore it open, and whispered, "The reinforcements sent by Imperator Mar'gok aren't limited to Tectus alone."
The Teleportation Array flashed, and two Ogres appeared.
Compared to the towering figures of Tectus and Sylvanas, the two Ogres were utterly insignificant.
One of them, dressed in an elegant robe and dressed as a wizard, glanced Pride at the situation on the Battlefield and said to Khadgar:
"Tectus is still as Recklessness as ever. I thought he would become smarter after absorbing the Holy Light."
Khadgar bowed and said, "Senior Advisor Valrego, Sylvanas has received the help of the Elune, fusing the power of Holy Light and Power of Death into one. We need your help. Oh, and notice the weapon in her hand; it's an artifact called the Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire."
Valrego, the senior advisor and wizard lord of Highmaul, is second only to the king and has the best chance of succeeding him if the Imperator Mar'gok were to die in battle.
Valrego noticed a strange light emanating from one of the tentacles and said with a faint sneer, "Tectus relies on talent and mutation, while I rely on intellect. Kelage, it's time to unleash your true power. Don't forget what I taught you."
Kelage, the sole survivor directly exposed to Titans Power during an excavation of Titans Ruins in Highmaul, underwent a physical mutation that granted him near-immunity to all magic.
As the Age of Holy Light arrived, the wizard of the Highmaul discovered that his body could absorb Holy Light. After absorbing countless amounts of Holy Light energy, he gained new power.
Senior Advisor Valrego and the Magic Immunity Kelage are the renowned Spellbreaker duo of Highmaul.
Kelage strode heavily toward Sylvanas, moving with astonishing speed. He spread his arms, and endless Holy Light condensed into two Titans arms a thousand meters long, seemingly cast in gold and covered with tens of thousands of Golden Runes. He grabbed Sylvanas's Old Gods body and then tore it apart with force.
Ah! No!
With a scream, the Old Gods's body shattered into pieces, and a dark aura rapidly fled, eventually coalescing in the distance to form Sylvanas's original form.
"Pathetic," Senior Advisor Valrego sneered.
Sylvanas stood up, calmly dusted herself off, and had an expression of complete confidence.
