"No need, let them treat Itharius. My injuries aren't serious, I don't need it."
Krasus didn't need to cast any spells; his wounds healed slowly and automatically. This was a characteristic of red dragons; they controlled the life force and had strong self-healing abilities.
In addition, the flame of life appears on the body's surface, burning away the Nightmare forces that have invaded the body.
The Flame of Life can burn away all viruses, curses, and even magical effects; the Red Dragon is one of the most resistant creatures to corruption by external forces in the world.
The green dragons were corrupted by Nightmare, the Bronze Dragons were seduced and corrupted by the Old Gods, the black dragons were driven mad by N'Zoth, the King of the Blue Dragons was driven mad by Deathwing, while the red dragons suffered damage from above, though such damage can also transfer to their minds, as seen in the case of a certain Red Dragon Queen...
" Korialstrasz, you've arrived."
Upon seeing Krasus, Itharius was clearly pleased. Lying on the ground, looking utterly dejected, he weakly raised his head. "I can no longer fight, my brother. You've come. Where is Her Majesty the Queen?"
Her Majesty the Queen, of course, does not refer to Ysera, but to Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen.
The Red Dragon Queen is Ysera's sister, and the sisters have a very good relationship. If Ysera is in trouble, the Red Dragon Queen is the most likely person to lend a helping hand.
The Red Dragon Queen is incredibly powerful; if she were to arrive, Eranikus would be nothing to her.
"The prison of the Old Gods Yogg-Saron has weakened. Alexstrasza, who has been monitoring Yogg-Saron, cannot come."
Krasus shook his head and asked, "How is the situation?"
Jiang Jie quickly explained the current situation to Krasus.
Krasus visibly relaxed upon hearing that Cenarius, Malfurion, and Tyrande were on their way, nodding and saying, "The situation isn't bad."
Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about Eranikus, but about the Nightmare Lord Xavius."
Xavius is the truly terrifying being.
During the ancient Kaldorei Empire, he was second only to Queen Azshara, and his spellcasting abilities far surpassed Illidan's by many times.
Later, he was besieged by Malfurion and others, thrown into the Well of Eternity, and gained Sargeras's favor, becoming the world's first Satyr. His power increased, and even Archimonde took him very seriously.
Later, he captured Tyrande, and then an oak tree was planted inside him by the enraged Malfurion, causing him to sink to the bottom of the sea with the explosion of the Well of Eternity.
Then this guy actually gained the favor of the Old Gods N'Zoth, obtained the power of darkness, and used the fact that all trees are connected to the Emerald Dream to invade the Emerald Dream and spread the Emerald Nightmare.
As his influence on the Emerald Dream grew, he gradually gained control over a portion of the dream's authority, and his strength increased dramatically. He was now completely beyond Malfurion's ability to deal with, and had even imprisoned Ysera!
Xavius is the standard template for a big boss, the kind that's impossible to kill. Every time he's defeated, he gains even more power; he's practically an immortal cockroach!
Being defeated by Cenarius several times isn't a disgrace, after all, Cenarius is clearly a protagonist archetype, capable of wielding the power of Kalimdor at his best, his overpowered abilities are too much!
Xavius now possesses a portion of the Dream Realm's authority. To eliminate him, we must simultaneously destroy his soul and his oak body, which necessitates entering the Emerald Dream.
This is difficult, even more difficult than dealing with Archimonde.
Eranikus was corrupted by Xavius himself; he gained Xavius's power, which is why he is so difficult to deal with.
Xavius is the source of the Nightmare; as long as he lives, he can corrupt more green dragons. Without eliminating him, the world will forever face the threat of Nightmare.
Bang bang bang!
Outside, Eranikus is attacking Karazhan again.
This time he was clever. He moved a large rock, over twenty meters in diameter, from a distant mountaintop and flew it to a very high point above the main tower of Karazhan.
Then the claws loosened, and it fell freely. The large rock, carrying the impact of falling from a great height, caused great damage to the rainbow light shield. It was then bounced up and fell again, like a bouncy ball, constantly consuming the energy of the rainbow light shield.
It works very well.
Eranikus then went to move more large stones, clearly intending to use this method to destroy the rainbow-colored light shield.
If this continues, the seven-colored light shield will probably break in less than an hour.
Unfortunately, no one has a good solution yet.
Several masters had gone to various places to gather Paladin couldn't fly. At this time, the only ones who could still harass Eranikus were Jiang Jie and Krasus, but Krasus was already injured, and Jiang Jie's Chi was almost exhausted, reducing his combat power by 30%.
"If all else fails, let's rest for a bit before going back into battle!" Jiang Jie sighed.
" Nicholas, Krasus, come here!"
Suddenly a voice rang out; it was Aegwynn.
Jiang Jie and Krasus exchanged a glance and quickly headed towards the top of the Karazhan Tower.
Soon, they met Aegwynn and Med'an.
"The others have gone to gather the mages. I will use the Keeper's Forge to borrow their power to deal with Eranikus and the Nightmare Lord Xavius."
Aegwynn glanced at Krasus, nodded, and then said, "Summon Anveena; I need your magic."
Jiang Jie was startled and quickly called Anveena out.
"This is... the Keeper's Forge?"
Jiang Jie saw a millstone-sized object on the ground. He couldn't tell if it was made of stone or metal. The outermost ring was a large ring, with one ring inside another, making a total of six rings. Inside the six rings was a stone slab the size of a head, with swirling eddies inside the slab that resembled flowing water.
Each ring is engraved with various magical runes, densely packed and dazzling.
"You actually know about the Keeper's Forge? Medivh tell you, or did those kids tell you?"
Aegwynn was somewhat surprised, then nodded and said, " The Keeper's Forge is the Council of Tirisfal's most precious artifact, even more valuable Atiesh! It can enhance the power of magical items, such as Aluneth's power, and can also gather the power of dozens or hundreds of mages into one person. That's the origin of the Guardian of Tirisfal... Alodi, come out! I need your help!"
Aegwynn drew Aluneth, gave a cold shout, and the tip of his staff flashed with spiritual light. Soon, a Half-Elf soul emerged from the furnace.
He was the first Keeper: Alodi, one of the creators of the Keeper's Forge, and the owner of the ice magic artifact " Ebonchill ".
The Ebonchill was left to Alodi by his parents; this Keeper's origins are shrouded in mystery, unknown to anyone.
The Darkchill was already very powerful, but it is said that it contained only a trace of Alodi's power, which shows how powerful Alodi must have been back then.
Unexpectedly, Alodi had merged his soul with the Keeper's Forge and remained there ever since!
Unfortunately, he no longer possesses his former power; instead, he has become the soul of the Keeper's Forge, serving the Keeper of all generations.
" Aegwynn? You're still alive? I remember when you became Keeper, it was over seven hundred years ago!" Alodi had clearly been unconscious for a long time and was unaware of everything that was happening now.
He sensed the power within Aegwynn and asked in bewilderment, "Strange, why is your power so weak? Have you lost the Keeper's power? What happened in these past seven hundred years?"
" Alodi, we'll talk about that later. I awakened you because I need to borrow the Keeper's Forge to mobilize the power of other mages. I've encountered the second most formidable enemy in history. The Guardian of Tirisfal are the Keeper of Azeroth, and we must fulfill our duty!"
Aegwynn clearly showed Alodi considerable respect, not referring to herself as "I am" as she would to others, but she wasn't overly deferential either, treating him as an equal. "The power of the Old Gods has seeped into the Emerald Dream; Xavius, ten thousand years ago, became the Nightmare Lord, Ysera has been imprisoned!"
Old Gods?
Emerald Dream?
Xavius?
Ysera?
Alodi, clearly aware of all this, slightly changed his expression. " Aegwynn, a mage's power cannot affect the Emerald Dream. You can never kill Xavius! He has lived for over ten thousand years; his soul is far stronger than yours or mine. He has also obtained the authority over the Dream, making him impossible to kill outside the Emerald Dream!"
"I know, Alodi. I didn't intend to kill him, just to cripple him, giving Malfurion and Tyrande the opportunity to purify Eranikus."
Aegwynn said calmly, "I can attack Xavius's soul across a world!"
"You are much stronger than me, Aegwynn, I believe in you," Alodi said softly.
" Nicholas, open your mind, I will sense the location of Malfurion and the others through the blessing between your brows."
Jiang Jie relaxed, Aegwynn touched Jiang Jie's forehead with a finger. After a full ten minutes, she finally nodded and said, "Found them! They're too slow, I'll go get them! Nicholas, the Rainbow Barrier won't last long, you must go and interfere with Eranikus! Alodi, you teach Krasus how to use the Keeper's Forge first, I'll be right back!"
