Misfortunes Never Come Alone

"What intense demonic energy!" The moment demon hunter Yudian entered the mysterious cave, he felt strands of black energy rapidly entering his body. At the same time, the Demon Fire within him instantly began to rage.

"Demonic energy?" Huang Long was puzzled and had no idea what it meant. He could not help asking, "What is demonic energy?"

Upon hearing Huang Long's question, demon hunter Yudian did not answer. He even stopped where he stood and did not move another step.

After waiting a long while without receiving a response from demon hunter Yudian, Huang Long grew suspicious. Normally, even if Yudian did not know the answer, he would still say something. He would never simply ignore him like this. When Huang Long turned around, however, he discovered that Yudian's entire body was enveloped in eerie green Demon Fire. In particular, the two Warglaives of Azzinoth had instantly turned scarlet, faintly radiating threads of evil energy.

"Yudian, what's wrong?" Huang Long sensed that something was amiss. The aura around demon hunter Yudian seemed extremely chaotic, and there was an additional trace of something both unfamiliar and familiar. The feeling made Huang Long deeply uncomfortable.

"Ha ha!" Suddenly, demon hunter Yudian let out a long burst of laughter. It was so loud that Huang Long's ears trembled and began ringing.

"Ha ha! After all these years, I, Azzinoth, have finally come out! Ha ha ha!" Demon hunter Yudian revealed a savage smile as the overwhelming aura of his strength erupted without restraint, making Huang Long's body tremble. The pressure was unimaginable.

In terms of true strength, Huang Long was no more than a level-one elf. Such strength was barely comparable to the low-ranking soldiers of the Night Elf faction. If not for the several powerful skills he possessed, he would probably have been at the very bottom of the entire Night Elf faction's forces. Of course, even with those powerful Warcraft skills, he could only contend with a level-six creature, and might not necessarily be able to defeat one.

Demon hunter Yudian, on the other hand, displayed even more monstrous talent in this regard. At level zero, without a single skill, his strength alone had been enough to rival and kill a level-one magical beast. Now that he had reached level five, with such formidable strength combined with the several skills he possessed, even against a level-seven magical beast, Yudian was absolutely confident he could hunt it down as long as he was given some time.

It was clear just how powerful demon hunter Yudian was. Among the current Night Elf faction, he was unquestionably the strongest. Of course, the Night Elf faction now also had a level-five elite hero, Priestess of the Moon Tyrande. Even so, demon hunter Yudian was absolutely confident he could defeat her. After all, Yudian's skills were all offensive in nature, whereas most of Priestess of the Moon Tyrande's skills were support-oriented.

Thus, if they were truly ranked, demon hunter Yudian was undoubtedly number one in martial strength among the Night Elf faction's forces, far stronger than Huang Long. Just a casual release of pressure now had already made it difficult for Huang Long to move, let alone unleash his full strength.

Although Huang Long had made great progress in controlling energy after practicing all night yesterday, and his strength had clearly increased, he was still far inferior to Yudian. After all, Yudian controlled level-five energy, perhaps even higher-level energy, while Huang Long only controlled level-one energy. Compared to demon hunter Yudian, he was basically a complete rookie.

"Azzinoth!" Hearing the words of the "demon hunter Yudian" before him, Huang Long's eyes widened in shock, horror showing in his gaze. "How is that possible?!"

Azzinoth had been a game character in the Warcraft series Huang Long had played on Earth. Azzinoth had once been an Ered'ruin Doom Guard commander of the Burning Legion and had been killed by demon hunter Illidan Stormrage during the War of the Ancients. The Warglaives of Azzinoth he wielded had become widely known after becoming Illidan's weapons following Azzinoth's death. As a diehard fan of demon hunter Yudian, Huang Long naturally knew of this terrifying demon.

But the problem was that the Doom Guard Azzinoth had supposedly died at demon hunter Yudian's hands during the Burning Legion's invasion. Moreover, demon hunter Yudian had now arrived in an entirely different world. How could the Doom Guard Azzinoth possibly appear here, right before Huang Long? Huang Long felt like a wildflower in a storm, swaying slowly amid surging waves of energy, at risk of being snapped at any moment.

And demon hunter Yudian's current condition did not look good at all! Huang Long inwardly cried out in alarm. No matter what, the body standing before him was demon hunter Yudian's. If the man before him became the Doom Guard Azzinoth, then wouldn't Yudian...?

At that thought, Huang Long did not dare continue. At the same time, he stared sharply at the demon hunter Yudian before him—no, most likely the Doom Guard Azzinoth.

"You're the Doom Guard Azzinoth?" After thinking for a moment, Huang Long could not help asking. He truly could not figure out what had happened to Yudian or why.

"Damn it, why can't I see?" The "demon hunter Yudian" before Huang Long suddenly shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with the blindfold obstructing his vision. He casually tore off the covering before his eyes.

When he suddenly raised his head, the face that appeared before Huang Long left him utterly stunned.

A pair of eyes flickering with blazing crimson flames, their color like fresh blood. Several strange purplish-black markings spread across the originally handsome face of demon hunter Yudian, above a savage smile.

"You! Your eyes?" Huang Long pointed at the face of the "demon hunter Yudian" before him, dumbfounded and unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Demon Eyes? I never expected this, Yudian. So the greatest enemy of demons is himself a supremely evil demon! Ha ha! What irony! Yudian, I never thought that you, an enemy of demons, would possess Demon Eyes! What a mockery of your Night Elf faction! Ha ha ha!" The "demon hunter Yudian" before him wore a crazed expression, completely ignoring Huang Long, who had been asking questions all this time.

Huang Long secretly made several defensive hand signals. The Huntresses behind demon hunter Yudian understood at once and instinctively stepped back several paces, staring warily at the terrifying figure before them. As scouting units, they too could sense a powerful aura carrying a trace of destruction from the "demon hunter Yudian," filling their hearts with unease.

Warning, warning. The Warcraft Elf System has suffered a virus intrusion. The system has been damaged and is undergoing maintenance. All host functions aside from skills are temporarily disabled. Please forgive the system for any unnecessary danger caused to the host. System maintenance will take two days. We hope the host enjoys himself.

The Warcraft Elf System's sprite-like voice entered Huang Long's ears, and a chill rose from the depths of his heart. A trace of fear instantly surfaced within him, making his scalp tingle.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"

Somewhere within a boundless sea of mist, an enormous palace stood. In a corner of the great hall, three figures were discussing matters carefully around a rectangular conference table.

"Damn it, what exactly happened?!" One of the figures snarled, his tone filled with intense dissatisfaction. "Why did such an error occur on that planet? Are the people responsible for consulting that planet's data all useless? Don't they know how important that place is?"

"Third, don't be like that. They are not entirely to blame for this disruption. After all, this world does not only have the few major forces visible on the surface. Besides, the people researching the history of the Fallen Continent were not particularly strong, so the results of their investigation were limited." Another figure spoke calmly, then turned his gaze toward the figure seated at the head of the table.

"Second is right. This universe is simply too vast. Even we cannot find its boundaries. There may be powerful existences living in seclusion somewhere, beings we cannot afford to provoke at all. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. I believe we will have results soon." The figure at the head of the table nodded and spoke slowly.

"Then what about that kid? If we just leave him alone, then..." Second hesitated.

"Second Brother, I agree. We might as well wait two days. If that kid cannot even handle this little unexpected situation, then he has no value at all." Upon hearing the eldest brother's words, the Third, who seemed rather hot-tempered, calmed down.

"I think that place must also be an ancient ruin awaiting excavation. But compared to that, we have more important matters to attend to." The eldest brother's words had already determined just how cruel the danger Huang Long faced was.

If he couldn't survive, then he could go die...
