You are so brave!
"He's here! Diakum is here. His Holy Light are gathering in the void in the city of destruction. He's coming here! Speed up and guide the Destroyer back to Material World."
Xal'atath, who was presiding over the summoning ceremony in Terenas's palace, issued a warning.
But the Void Sages in the ceremony can no longer continue to speed up. They have tried almost all methods. Now the summoning speed has reached the maximum. The Deathwing that escaped into Sea of Darkness has obviously been reshaped and strengthened by some Void Lord.
What they are trying to summon now is definitely not the fallen Earth Warder, and even demigods cannot deal with a lunatic like Diakum.
Perhaps, waiting to enter Material World on the other side of the void rift at this time is a more dangerous Lesser God?
To call such a life to Material World, the manpower and material resources required are only secondary. The world itself's resistance to such external evil spirits is the biggest trouble. No matter which world it is in, "summoning evil gods" is a taboo among taboos.
What's more, Azeroth already has his own will?
For this reason, the Void Sages have even dragged most of this palace into the gap between Material World and Sea of Darkness to reduce the difficulty of summoning. If they are allowed to continue, this place may really become a "ghost land" similar to "Terokkar Rift" in the future, floating alone on the border of the star sea.
But the time left for them is too short!
A series of obstacles they set up failed to stop Lothar's army outside the city. Now Vigilant has come forward in person. Without more assistance, it is impossible for them to call the Destroyer back to Material World before Vigilant arrives.
Xal'atath knows this too.
It was she who personally summoned this group of Void Servants who gathered from all over the world. She knew their abilities very well. After estimating the time again, Xal'atath gritted her teeth and issued a crazy order.
"Start the sacrifice!"
She said sharply:
"Call back all the Void Servants who are guarding the palace and use their void blood to strengthen the ritual. If the Destroyer cannot be summoned before Diakum arrives, everyone here will perish in the light."
"That's not possible, sir."
This order frightened the person next to me Naga Seawitch.
The war mistress from the Deep Sea Empire pointed at the chaotic dragon battle in the sky, and she screamed:
"Without the persistence of the servants who hold up the barrier, the dragon's fire alone is enough to destroy our ceremony. I know you are in a hurry, but please calm down first."
"We have reached this point, how can you tell me to calm down!"
Xal'atath waved his hand, letting the gathering darkness Entropic Energy turn into gloomy ghost claws to lift the mistress Naga in front of him, and threw her into the summoning ceremony in front of him with a roar.
The guy fell into the boiling void and started screaming, but before the second scream sounded, his body "melted" into the creeping darkness.
"Start the sacrifice!"
Void Herald roared:
"Speed up the progress at all costs!"
Under her command, those Ethereal Warlocks she summoned from the sea of stars immediately started working hard, and many Void Servantss were thrown into the ceremony in a short period of time.
The filthy blood flowing in the bodies of these beings who follow Void Profound Mystery is an excellent ritual material. It is like a kind of combustion accelerant. When thrown into the ritual, the exaggerated void cracks will expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the low roar coming from the tide of Sea of Darkness will also become clearer.
That's Deathwing responding.
It's coming back.
"So, after removing the "Void Curtain", how are you going to support your defense?"
Xal'atath stared at the summoning ceremony that was speeding up in front of her. In her slightly tired eyes dotted with black stars, another monster with an upper body Satyr and a lower body Naga was reflected in a nightmare.
Nightmare King Xavius sneered. It seemed to be sarcastic and appreciative of Xal'atath's incompetent rage.
It says:
"Look at you, Void Herald, who is making waves in the shadow of the world's past history. Have you ever been so embarrassed? You look like a desperate gambler who wants to put the last chips in your hand.
But you yourself are not sure whether you can win.
A gambler is doomed if this happens, and so are you."
"Shut up!"
Xal'atath said expressionlessly:
"Release your nightmare realm and wrap up the palace! I think in the world of nightmares, you won't be afraid of the dragons' crusade, right?"
"I'm not afraid of dragons, but I'm afraid of Vigilant."
Xavius stroked its ferocious face very "sincerely" and said:
"The experience of being beaten to death by Diakum last time makes me scared to death when I think of Vigilant. I don't dare to face the terrifying Giant of Light again.
Although I won't die here, I'm not a masochist and am fully expecting a beating for no reason."
"Tell this to N'Zoth."
Void Herald scolded:
"I had an ancient contract with N'Zoth. You came here just to help me. You have to do whatever I ask you to do, regardless of whether you are afraid of him now! Go and support the nightmare realm.
I need time, you have to give me time."
Xavius fell silent.
A moment later, a layer of gray-black dream mist rose from around the palace, wrapping around and shrouding King Terenas's palace like a storm, isolating it from the war-torn city.
The realm of nightmare continued to expand until it rose into the sky and swallowed up several Dragon Aspectss fighting the black dragon.
But Xavius no longer had the interest to compromise, and asked coldly:
"I won't help you stop Diakum, and I can't stop you either! His weird Sha Power and Heart Power are the nemesis of all nightmares, and I don't want to have to be beaten again.
And you, Xal'atath!
You are full of confidence but have suffered repeated failures. Thousand Tentacle Demon has lost expectations for your potential.
Facts have proved that you are just one of those boastful losers. You keep saying that you can use your method to make Diakum make countless enemies in the void and let him be attacked by the void leaders.
But it has been so many times, and I have never seen Diakum in even the slightest bit of embarrassment or defeat.
On the contrary, you have been forced into this ridiculous desperate situation after "victory" again and again, and you have begun to sacrifice your servants and put all your hopes on a monster. How desperate must you be now?"
Nightmare King sneered viciously.
It used its last sentence to pierce Xal'atath's heart. It stretched out its voice and said:
"You are "Void Herald", and so is Diakum. Why are they both Void Herald, but the gap between them is so big? It seems that you are not suitable for this job.
Listen to me and choose another way.
While you are still young, you may be able to find a career that is truly suitable for you, such as being a "god of harmony" or something.
I think you are very talented in this area."
"Get out!"
Xal'atath This time the defense is really broken.
It doesn't matter if you are scolded by your enemies. The insults from your enemies can be regarded as compliments, but it is really unbearable to be ridiculed by one of your own.
The most terrible thing is that she still can't refute Xavius.
From Quel'Thalas to now, she has continuously "consumed" Deathwing, Sinestra and the huge amount of Old God Black Blood collected from the ground, and crushed Xavius's precious Nightmare Shadow, but her strategy has not achieved any effect at all.
Diakum is as stable as a mountain, breaking one dilemma after another without using Eclipse at all.
No wonder Xavius can't stand it anymore.
"Okay, just get out of there, am I still afraid that you are a crazy woman who breaks the defense?"
Xavius let out that disgusting weird laugh again, but before leaving, it poked Xal'atath's lung tube again and said:
"You'd better think about it seriously. You regard Diakum as your lifelong enemy, but maybe you're not even an "opponent" in people's minds. Look at you, you can't even correct your own position. What kind of villain do you think you are?
Do you think you lured Diakum here to complete the "fatal blow" to him here?
But have you ever thought about it.
He may have come here to complete some "Grand Plan" of his own, but you, Xal'atath, who thinks highly of yourself, can't even count as a branch goal in your Diakum plan.
Or even sadder.
Everything you have done so far is part of someone else's plan?
Hum, recognize the reality!
Compared to N'Zoth, you are really a third-rate conspirator, but you are still somewhat useful, so when you are in a desperate situation, don't forget to pray to your old friends."
After saying that, Nightmare King no longer paid attention to Xal'atath, who had broken through the defense for the second time. It stepped into its own nightmare realm with a stretched body posture, and looked at Vigilant, the incarnation of Giant of Light, walking in the war-torn city with a sigh on its face.
The other party is walking towards the palace.
His posture was unhurried, and he held the holy blade in his hand but didn't need to wave it at all. Just the hot heat radiating from the corona behind it could turn into physical golden fire and burn the place it touched.
If the darkness of Lordaeron can be regarded as a whole, then the biggest crack on it at this time is the "mark of Sunflare" that Diakum is stepping on step by step.
"This monster!"
Xavius cursed while surrounded by nightmares:
"He shouldn't have appeared here at all. He should be fighting against more dangerous beings in a certain Force Realm. How can we "planet-level" villains be targeted by such a Holy Light monster?
He should go to the star sea to deal with those freaks Burning Legion!
Ashbringer Shouldn't this be the job? Why bother us?"
But despite the criticism, work still needs to be done.
N'Zoth sent it to assist Xal'atath. Although my working life has been terrible in the past period, but think about it on the bright side, today is the last day of this disgusting "unpaid overtime".
After completing this task, he can return to the comfortable and safe deep-sea kingdom to enjoy peace, and continue to happily play out his undesirable conspiracies in the depths of the nightmare of the world.
Thinking of this, Xavius decided to show his "professional ethics" and stand up for his last shift in a way that can be called "dedication". By the way, he enjoyed the wonderful scene of Xal'atath breaking through the defense for the third time.
It laughed wildly and set off a larger wave of nightmares, dragging more dragons into it as it whirled and danced. The will of these guardians was very strong, and it was extremely difficult to corrupt them with nightmares.
But Xavius is not intended to really corrode them.
It just needs to stop them.
The attack power of Nightmare Realm is very average, but it is very useful in this kind of siege situation.
"Hey, dragons, come and play with the scary monsters born in your nightmares to relieve my boredom."
Nightmare King laughed loudly. It walked through the dreams of those giant dragons and Dracthyr like a ghost, weaving monsters in their dreams for them with great skill, enjoying their cries of pain and lamentation when they were tortured by nightmares.
It knows how to defeat these seemingly powerful creatures that are actually as fragile as mortals. It calls itself World Guardian appointed by Titan. However, in Nightmare King's view, the difficulty of torturing them is not even as difficult as defeating some determined mortals.
The dragons' power is innate, and they generally don't pay much attention to the tempering of individual wills.
Except for the green dragon.
Damn green dragons can travel through dreams.
That was Xavius's most difficult enemy in the past ten thousand years. For a while, the green dragons lost their power as guardians of dreams. Those were Nightmare King's happiest days.
However, this happiness did not last long.
Alas, why can't the villain get the fun he wants?
Just like now, it had just found a long-lost pleasure in torturing the dragon's will when it saw green dragons rushing into this nightmare place in droves to rescue the tortured dragons and Dracthyrs.
They also want to purify this nightmare!
Damn it, these "dream cops" are so annoying, can't you just let yourself enjoy this unflattering and low-level fun?
But Xavius soon noticed the "old friend".
Ysera Queen personally entered this nightmare, and her appearance changed drastically. She seemed to intend to use her dream power to dispel the nightmare and open the way for the following warriors to enter the palace.
Judging by the blood on the Sleeper's scales, you can tell that she fully enjoyed the warm-up for the battle before.
But this made Xavius laugh gloomily. I really don't understand why these green dragons are obviously "nurses" but they all have the heart of Warrior. The minds that have just been fighting have not yet cooled down. Isn't this the best opportunity for a sneak attack by bad guys like me?
Hello, the Sleeper!
You rushed into my nightmare so arrogantly and made this place a mess. Have you forgotten that I am the master here?
Nightmare King quietly approached Ysera.
In order to ensure the success of the sneak attack, it even drew more power from its body hidden in the deep sea.
Its "Xavius's Shadow" is a magical spell. This kind of nightmare incarnation has almost 100% of the combat power of the main body. Of course, the price is that once the shadow is destroyed, the main body will also fall into painful weakness.
Previously in Gilneas, Vigilant crushed a nightmare incarnation. Xavius should be more rational, but it will be eager to achieve some results.
These green dragons abandoned their responsibilities of Titan Keepers, which means that they will no longer be protected by the troublesome Titan power. With the blessing of World Mother, they can still travel through Emerald Dream, but the Emerald Dream of Azeroth was woven by Titan Keepers.
Before Supreme Star Soul completely took over Emerald Dream, the green dragons were far less intimidating in dreams than they once were Invincible.
They have transformed from "administrators" here to "powerful tenants", which makes Xavius even more proud.
At the moment when Ysera was holding up the purification ceremony, Nightmare King suddenly appeared.
The vicious corrosive claws slapped the Sleeper's body, shattering Dragon Scale and leaving terrible filthy scars, and also poured vicious spells on Ysera's body.
The Sleeper, who was attacked, did not panic.
She has become a powerful fighter, and she will naturally turn around and fight when faced with a sneak attack. In this nightmare land, the fierce fight between two old rivals made the entire palace, which was dragged into the nightmare, tremble.
This scene was noticed by Diakum.
He blinked and remembered the promise he had made to a certain soul before. He was filled with admiration for God of Pure Love, Vigilant who was willing to endure degradation and fall into the shadows for the sake of love.
Right now Ysera is being entangled by the evil Xavius, just like a widow being harassed by pornographic men. How can I turn a blind eye as a righteous person?
Have the promotions of "Overmind," Dream-Eater Tyrant" been completed?"
Diakum asked, and then Overmind's whimper sounded:
"It is adapting to the new power, and is about to go to the coastal continent we occupied to patrol the sky. Your army has been equipped with tenacity, and the selection of the place to invade has been completed. I am waiting for the arrival of the "glory moment"."
"It's coming soon, I'm looking forward to it too."
Diakum said:
"But the reward we promised "Dream Eater" needs to be fulfilled. Let it come. On the eve of the start of the supreme evolution, soldiers who go to war always have to say goodbye to their loved ones. In this nightmare place, let it complete the farewell to the love in its heart."
"It will scare her, even replace the monster in her nightmare and turn it into a new nightmare."
Overmind said:
"But, as you wish."
Ysera is not afraid of Xavius at all.
In the past, she would still have a lot of headaches because of Nightmare King's entanglement. After all, in that form, she did not have strong frontal attack capabilities, but now she is no longer what she used to be.
Just like the brave female knight in silver armor, fighting Nightmare King with a fierce fighting posture in the nightmare.
Xavius in this world line did not suffer the misfortune of "planting a tree". It was completely its own choice to seek refuge in the void. Its love for this "career" naturally burst out with even weirder enthusiasm.
At this time, he transformed into the true form of the nightmare like the hanging ghost and snake demon, fighting with Ysera with punches and kicks, while blocking more giant dragons from entering this nightmare.
Those black entity nightmares have all been summoned, and they have transformed into various twisted shapes and spread around the palace, madly attacking Lothar and Sun King and their warriors who have rushed here.
Time is just time.
This cunning thing Xavius is counting the time. It will definitely grease the soles of its feet before Vigilant arrives, but before leaving, it will vent out the depression it has accumulated during this period.
"Bang"
Ysera flew over and scratched Ancestor Satyr's shoulder armor, but was hit by Xavius's huge claws on the wings. The strong Dragon Scale protected the Sleeper from harm, but the brute force blow made her flip in the air and finally landed with four claws, turning a palace into ruins.
Its trident-like tail slapped the imperial garden next to it hard, and it roared and was about to pounce again.
But at this moment Ysera suddenly stopped attacking ferociously, and instead stared at the laughing Xavius with strange eyes. In the twisted and weird shadow behind the constantly provocative Nightmare King, there was a strange "thing" "rising".
It's like floating up to Material World from a darker place, silently yet eerie.
Ysera had never seen such a weird, sick and ferocious creature, but she clearly felt a sense of "familiarity" from the guy in front of her who was attacking Xavius.
By the time Nightmare King noticed it, it was already too late.
As its shadow spread out of control, what caught its eye was a terrifying giant mouth, filled with claw-like fangs of creatures, entwined with black and white streams of evil energy. There was even a "tongue" with the same sharp teeth in the mouth of darkness.
The giant mouth closed, double bite, shredding Xavius's shoulders and arms while shaking its sinister head, and bit off one-third of its torso neatly.
Then a pair of wings covered with chitin dragon armor unfolded, and under the giant wings there was a pair of elytra as sharp as knives.
Xavius didn't even feel pain at first.
Its first reaction was horror.
Even though I have embraced the void for ten thousand years, I have seen enough "weird things" in Sea of Darkness, but this is the first time I have seen such an ugly thing!
However, it is ugly and very ugly.
Just like Agamaggan fell into the path of the insect swarm and grew into a more powerful king beast, the former Nightmare Tyrant also received blessings from the insect swarm after embracing the future as "Dream Eater".
It's like a cross between a mantis and a dragon.
When the two pairs of sickle arms in front of its streamlined body wrapped around Entropic Energy's cutting swing, Xavius tried to dodge, but was bumped into by Ysera rushing from behind.
Let Nightmare King take the initiative to greet you.
It was captured by Dream Eater's first pair of intertwined black and white evil claws, and then was chopped into pieces by the sharp Entropic Energy sickle arms.
During the struggle, the last thing Xavius saw was the big mouth of the "Praying Mantis Ankylosaurus" opening again and biting down on his head.
It can't escape!
The "weird dragon" in front of us can also control dreams, and even use evil power to force nightmares to obey it.
Perhaps it is the talent inherited from the green dragon that allows this insect swarm leader to walk in his dreams, allowing him to achieve more flexible "deployment" than Agamaggan.
"Bang"
The tattered shadow, which had lost its head and was chopped into pieces, fell to the ground.
Xavius left the stage for the second time with an unwilling roar. This time he was even more depressed than when he faced Vigilant before.
It knows that it should have left long ago!
This "work secondment" is really a hell of a job.
Mad, the uncharming villain Xal'atath, you have to pay me, a "serious villain", three times the allowance, at least!
Oh, that is if you can survive today.
