There is no light inside the Hex Lord's Hall. Only the torches installed on the pillars and walls illuminate this low building. With the flickering light of the fire, people who come in can see that the floor is full of venomous snakes. The smaller ones are as long as an arm, and the larger ones are as long as one person. It is not uncommon for the largest ones to be coiled on the ground, which makes people feel very oppressive. Long snakes spit out at everyone who comes in from time to time, and they look like they will attack at any time.
"Here... why are there so many snakes?" Aaron stopped the people behind him and told them not to enter rashly, frowning and looking at the group of snakes on the ground.
Looking at the endless group of snakes in front of him, Aaron had an idea in his mind: The Loa that Malacrass swallowed was actually a snake.
The four Troll that swallowed Loa before all have the ability to drive the corresponding beasts. Judging from the state of the flying eagles that Akil'zon brought to attack the coalition forces before, they also have the ability to lay eggs and hatch more beasts., this can be confirmed from the unhatched eggs obtained after the coalition forces broke through the altars of Akil'zon and Jan'alai. Nalorakk and Halazzi did not leave any panda cubs or anything for the coalition forces.
Aaron vaguely remembers the description of Malacrass in the game, which is that this guy left the purification of the darkest Loa to himself, but did not explain which What is the true identity and name of Loa? Looking at the scene of thousands of snakes dancing wildly in the Hex Lord's Hall, I am afraid that the Loa swallowed by Malacrass is a giant snake.
"Mage, prepare area spells!" Aaron gave the order, and several mages behind him stood up and started chanting. Although the snakes kept spitting out letters at everyone and made threatening noises, under the protection of Aaron and several other melee professions, no snakes could break through the defense. They could only watch the mages complete the chant.
"Blizzard!"
"Flamestrike!"
"Arcane Barrage!"
Several Big Van surrounded the spells and smashed them down, and the snakes in front of everyone were cleaned up. Even the snakes that were lucky enough to have rough skin and thick flesh or escaped the spell bombing were killed one by one by the rangers.
After clearing away the snakes in front of him, before these dangerous guys came up again, Aaron took a few steps forward with his shield, led everyone to occupy the open space, and then launched a new round of bombing against the remaining snakes.
It has to be said that in the face of such a large number of opponents who are not very strong individually, the role played by mages far exceeds that of other professions, especially the several mages present who can be regarded as the most powerful group. Except for Dalaran and Council of Six who are dispatched collectively, otherwise there may not be such a powerful lineup of mages.
Looking at the group of snakes struggling and wailing in the sea of fire and ice, Aaron recalled the scene of driving the mage account to clear the old raid. Facing the mobs, he only needed a brainless magic blast to clean them all. Unfortunately, this skill is too mana-consuming, and this kind of spell that is centered on the caster can be used by a single mage, but when there are teammates around him, it will just cause trouble for his teammates.
But after thinking about Arcane Explosion, an idea suddenly popped up in Aaron's mind. He sprinted a few steps, and one person broke away from the team. Before others could react, he stamped his right foot hard on the ground, and the surging Holy Light With Aaron as the center of the circle, it spread out in all directions. At the same time, Aaron's body turned in a circle, and Holy Light rushed out from the weapon in Aaron's hand like a whirlwind, killing all the snakes around him.
"Boy, you are brave." Just when Aaron was secretly proud that he had mastered another skill that was not in the skill bar, he suddenly heard a hoarse and deep voice. He looked up and saw a bald Troll standing by the wall with his upper body hunched, looking at him coldly. The staff in his hand had begun to shine with dangerous magic light.
"Malacrass!" Aaron recognized the other party's identity at a glance. After all, Malacrass is probably the only magician who can carry flaming imps and ghosts around him.
Unlike the other Troll who had transformed into varying degrees of beasts after devouring the essence of Loa, Malacrass still looked like a normal Troll, with not even a single scale visible on his body.
However, this also shows how powerful Malacrass is. Among the five Troll who have swallowed the essence of Loa, only he has completely controlled the power belonging to Loa, unlike the other Loa. The other four Troll still need to transform themselves into the original form of Loa in order to fully exert the power of Loa, but Malacrass is even more frightening.
"Boy, since you're here, let's all stay." Malacrass laughed sinisterly, and gestured at the ghost beside him. The translucent ghost's head was slightly raised, and he made a sound directed at the spirit. Wailing, everyone who heard this wailing felt an unbearable pain. Even the spells originally prepared by the mages were stopped because of this wailing. Fortunately, the mages present were all experienced and would not be harmed due to the interruption of spell casting.
But this does not mean that this ghost is no longer a threat. Aaron can clearly see that when the ghost howls, the spellcasting in Malacrass's hand has no intention of interrupting. If the ghost is allowed to continue howling like this, then the mage present will be useless.
"Die!" Aaron threw a Holy Light at the ghost. At the same time, several rangers behind him also tacitly shot arrows that could cause damage to Undead. Several mages also cast some instant spells. Unfortunately, this ghost seemed to be very responsive. Although it could not dodge all the attacks, it also dodged those with more lethality.
"After I deal with it, you still have to kill all the humans outside." Malacrass gradually approached everyone with his staff. The snakes in the hall that had not yet been dealt with by everyone also gathered together. The snake eggs piled up on the wall also made a cracking sound, and a small snake as thick as a finger emerged from it, and joined the siege.
Although the mages tried their best to cast spells to deal with the snakes, it was difficult to successfully cast spells under the interference of ghosts, and the occasional spells could not prevent everyone from being surrounded by snakes.
Aaron has never missed the rockets on Dreadwake as much as he does now. If he had known that he was going to deal with the snakes, he would definitely have brought a few rockets with him.
Unfortunately, there are no what-ifs in reality. Now Aaron can only find ways to use the power at hand to solve the current difficulties.
