Jiang Jie, leading Itharius, quickly arrived at the reception room.
This is where the Maiden of Virtue once lived, and there are still many remnants of Holy Light energy here.
"Lord Itharius, the Holy Light energy here is beneficial for our healing."
Jiang Jie explained briefly, then said, " Anveena, pray to the Elune. We have time to heal now, and while we're at it, let's help Lord Elune purify the Nightmare power within him!"
A considerable amount of Nightmare power has invaded Itharius's body. If it is not purified in time, Itharius might be corrupted, so it's best to be careful.
The upcoming battle will still require Itharius, and he needs to hurry up and recover his fighting strength.
Itharius nodded.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Aegwynn's name.
That goddess-like woman was indeed above Eranikus.
However, I heard that she's lost much of her power after resurrecting Medivh. Can she really stop Eranikus?
Itharius seemed somewhat unsure of himself.
Anveena separated from Jiang Jie's body and began to pray for the Moon Goddess's favor.
She could be considered one of Elune's chosen ones, given her special status. Although she didn't receive a personal response from Elune, she still bestowed a great deal of the Moon Goddess's power to Dispel the Nightmare afflicting Itharius.
However, Itharius's injuries will not heal so easily and will require a long period of recuperation. Right now, he has at most half of his fighting strength remaining.
Jiang Jie whispered, "Teacher, are you coming? We can't wait for Moonglade; we must purify Eranikus in Karazhan! Otherwise, the Eastern Kingdoms will be destroyed by Eranikus!"
Two minutes later, Cenarius's voice rang out from between his brows. "We will risk traversing the Emerald Dreamway, emerging from the Tree of Life in Dawnwood, to reach you. This will take time, so hold on!"
Jiang Jie let out a soft breath.
Hopefully, I can hold on.
If we can truly purify Eranikus here, then everything will be fine. If not, we'll have to find another way.
Jiang Jie sighed, walked out of Karazhan, arrived at the Master's Terrace, and looked into the distance.
Eranikus should be arriving soon, but I wonder when the reinforcements will arrive.
He thought for a moment and then went to the teleportation hall.
The so-called teleportation hall is actually a separate room on each floor, connected to the Tower of Arathor in Stromgarde, with a two-way teleportation portal that allows free movement between the two locations.
This teleportation hall is located in the secondary tower connected to the main tower. You can directly enter the main tower from the side door through a connecting corridor.
"Huh? Someone's here?"
When Jiang Jie arrived, he saw the portal emitting light, indicating that someone on the other side was opening the portal and teleporting over.
A minute later, Med'an and Leryda emerged from the portal, followed by a crouching Stone Giants — the Maiden of Virtue.
Following them was a large group of people, including Bishop Paltress of the Stromgarde Temple, High-Ranking Paladin Oryx, and four elders of Tyr's Hand.
Jiang Jie was about to step forward to greet him when he heard Shi Leryda shout anxiously, "Grand Duke, where is Archimonde? How did the Burning Legion open the Dark Portal? Are all the people from Nethergarde Keep dead? Why haven't any messages come? Also, have the Orcs arrived? How many have they sent? By the way, is there any news about Khadgar? He's my friend; we once managed to pry open a hidden Arcane portal in Dalaran! Most importantly, is there any news about His Highness the Prince?"
Jiang Jie's smile froze instantly, as if he had been seen by Medusa's eyes, completely petrified.
What the heck?
Archimonde is here? The Burning Legion has opened the Dark Portal? Who said that? I didn't know that!
" Nicholas, the Dark Portal has opened. Can I go to Draenor to find my uncle now? Didn't you say he was Draenei?"
"Is he an excellent Draenei officer?" Med'an looked at Jiang Jie with anticipation. Jiang Jie was speechless.
He quickly explained that there was no Burning Legion; they were summoned to deal with Eranikus.
"Phew! That scared me to death!" Shi Leryda patted her ample chest, looking as if she had almost fainted from fright. "I knew it! How could anyone open the Dark Portal? How much power would that require, and who would do such a thing?"
The misunderstanding was cleared up, Jiang Jie was both amused and exasperated. "Who told you Archimonde was here?"
A frosty expression settled on Leryda's face. She grabbed her staff and charged into Karazhan, yelling, " Alturus! You dare lie to me! I'll burn your ass!"
Three minutes later, a terrifying surge of magical power emanated from the area, accompanied by Leryda's rebuke and Alturus's pleas for mercy, and it took a full five minutes to subside.
" Leryda, this really isn't my fault! It's all because the Grand Duke didn't explain things clearly!" Alturus looked utterly defeated, a hole burned in his mage robe. In terms of spellcasting ability, he was no match for Leryda, not to mention being Cheap Shot by Leryda. He was truly in a terrible state.
He felt extremely wronged.
Grand Duke, you didn't explain things clearly. If you had just said Eranikus had arrived, there wouldn't have been any misunderstanding.
That caused me to get a severe beating!
"Hmph, do you think I'd go looking for trouble with the Grand Duke? Do I even want to stay in Karazhan?" Leryda straightened her disheveled hair and clothes, her breathing gradually calming down. Suddenly, she asked with some curiosity, " Alturus, how many people did you tell Archimonde was coming?"
Alturus's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He had just gotten up from the ground, but sat back down with a thud, tears welling up in his eyes. "Everyone..."
Leryda looked at Alturus as if he were a prisoner about to be executed.
Well, this prisoner received more than one form of punishment...
"The first batch has arrived, and the second batch should be here soon... Strange, why is Aegwynn so slow?" Jiang Jie wondered.
The others still need to organize manpower, but Aegwynn is all alone. Since she said she'd come, it should only take a few seconds. Why isn't she here yet? Surely she hasn't spent time getting ready?
Women are such a hassle!
The portal lit up again, but Jiang Jie never expected it to be Aegwynn, because Aegwynn never used portals; she always teleported directly. Karazhan's magical defenses were useless against her, since she was the one who rebuilt them.
"Huh, is that Ansirem, Modera, and Rhonin?"
Jiang Jie quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Before he could speak, Modera approached him, her face solemn. "Grand Duke, how many men did Archimonde bring? Did you clash with Archimonde head-on? Are the dragons involved? Are they red or green? Excellent! With the Dragon Aspects Legion the battle, we might be able to drive Archimonde back! I've already sent the Kirin Tor Guardians; they should arrive in three hours at the latest!"
Master Ansirem, usually so composed, was now brimming with fighting spirit. "I didn't participate in Mount Hyjal, but this time I want to see with my own eyes just how powerful the high-ranking commanders of the Burning Legion truly are! Even Archimonde, Dalaran is not to be feared! He destroyed Dalaran, our time for revenge has come!"
Rhonin walked over and whispered, " Nicholas, don't worry, I've already left a message for Professor Krasus. He'll come as soon as he sees it. I think the Red Dragonflight will definitely move out. This time, we absolutely cannot let the Burning Legion cross Karazhan!"
Seeing the three division commanders looking like they were about to besiege Archimonde, Jiang Jie shrugged helplessly and explained, "Um, you might have made a mistake. It's not Archimonde who's coming, it's Eranikus..."
He explained again, Rhonin looked stunned, not knowing what to say. After all, Alturus was much older than him and was his elder. However, deep down, he had already cursed Alturus a hundred and eight times.
Meanwhile, Modera and Ansirem, one after the other, charged into Karazhan in hand.
Jiang Jie remained silent, glancing at Karazhan. Thinking of Alturus, who had already been taught a lesson by Leryda, he felt a mixture of sympathy, pity, and, more than anything, schadenfreude.
If you don't court death, you won't die; this isn't the last wave!
Not knowing when Aegwynn would arrive, Jiang Jie decided not to wait any longer. He sent Anveena and Med'an to activate the magical defense barrier of Karazhan, and then led the Maiden of Virtue and the Paladin to the reception hall.
"Lord Itharius, I've brought men to treat your wounds," Jiang Jie said with a smile.
Itharius, who had reverted to his green dragon form and was lying on the ground, was overjoyed to see so many users of Holy Light arrive and to sense the intensity of the Holy Light emanating from them. He quickly expressed his gratitude.
While nature magic is the best healer for green dragons, Holy Light is not bad either.
Especially with the Maiden of Virtue there, it shouldn't be long before she heals him to a near-complete state. It's just a matter of whether Eranikus will give him that time.
Under the healing power of the Holy Light, Itharius's wounds are healing at a relatively slow pace. It would be impossible for him to fully recover in less than a few days.
Jiang Jie returned to the Master's Terrace and looked into the distance.
Three minutes later, a huge dark shadow rapidly approached, and Jiang Jie's expression became extremely solemn:
Eranikus, finally here!
Even without Jiang Jie's summoning, everyone else sensed the increasingly terrifying dragon's might and the Nightmare power that even Karazhan couldn't block. Itharius quickly warned them, and Modera organized a group to teleport all the ordinary people in Karazhan away to prevent them from being possessed by the Nightmare's power.
As the dark shadow in the sky drew ever closer, all the mages below the high rank in Karazhan left, and the rest gathered on the Master's Terrace, their palms sweating as they watched the ever-growing Tyrant of the Dream.
A question arose in their minds at the same time:
Such a terrifying being is probably not much weaker than Archimonde, is it?
Is it really something they can handle?
