This fallen, Legendary red dragon is clearly Vaelastrasz. ◢щЩш. suimEnG.1a
The red dragon, nearly fifty meters long, is still smaller than Krasus, but it is undoubtedly an ancient red dragon, and one of the best among the ancient red dragons.
In fact, Krasus was the consort of the Red Dragon Queen, ten thousand years ago, while Vaelastrasz was the Red Dragon Queen's son, and was naturally much younger than Krasus.
A thousand years ago, War of the Shifting Sands, the Bronze Dragon Prince Anachronos, facing an endless Qiraji, pleaded for help.
Merithra, daughter of Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen; Korialstrasz, son of Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen; and Arygos, son of Malygos, the King of the Blue Dragons —three ancient dragons nearly as powerful as Anachronos, and some of the most famous ancient dragons of the time—all participated in the battle.
In that battle, apart from Anachronos, the other three ancient dragons all perished in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj and never emerged again.
Anachronos later forged the Scepter of the Shifting Sands, which was shattered by Fandral Staghelm Fandral Staghelm.
Anachronos entrusted the four fragments of the scepter to four ancient dragons for safekeeping:
Besides himself, there is the green dragon Eranikus, the blue dragon Azuregos, and the red dragon Vaelastrasz.
Anachronos temporarily served as the leader of the Bronze Dragon Aspect when Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragons Aspect, went missing.
Eranikus was a being infinitely close to Demigod level, and after being corrupted by Nightmare, he was known as the " Tyrant of the Dream ";
Although Azuregos is not very famous, he is actually High-tier Legendary figure, and even if he is not as good as Eranikus, he is probably not much worse.
So how could Vaelastrasz, who was chosen by Anachronos and ranked alongside Eranikus and Azuregos, be anything less than excellent?
Knowing that the Black Dragonflight had captured Blackrock Spire, he came here to infiltrate and investigate Nefarian's secrets. Naturally, he had the ability to fight Nefarian, or at least escape from Nefarian.
In terms of age and status, he and Nefarian were actually quite similar...
Before Nefarian obtained the power of the Old Gods.
The outcome was obvious: Vaelastrasz was defeated by Nefarian himself; Nefarian's corrupting power eroded his heart and corrupted his soul.
He fought with all his might.
However, having been corrupted for so long, it can no longer even leave the room.
Nefarian spared his life, not killing him, because he wanted to corrupt him, enslave him, and turn him into his servant.
In fact, in the game, when the players arrive here, they are only facing him with 30 HP left and severely weakened.
According to official statistics, the boss that killed the most players in the entire game was this little red dragon who suffered for millions of years due to its own corruption.
Jiang Jie knew this, and shook his head with a sigh.
Such a powerful little red dragon was corrupted by Nefarian, which shows that when it comes to scheming and plotting, the little red dragon is far inferior to Nefarian!
" Valestrasza, is that you? I'm sorry, I couldn't hold on any longer. I failed. Nefarian was too powerful. He easily... absorbed my power, and he's become even stronger! Kill me, kill me now, or I will become your enemy!"
Vaelastrasz was clearly losing control; the energy within him was surging wildly.
After the black dragon fell, it received power from the Old Gods, gaining control not only of the power of shadow but also of the Old Gods ' power to manipulate minds.
Seeing this, Jiang Jie quickly asked, " Vaelastrasz! We were commissioned by Anachronos to rescue you and obtain the Red Scepter of the Shifting Sands Shard from you! The seal on Ahn'Qiraj has weakened, and we must reforge the Scepter of the Shifting Sands fragment. We must take the initiative and destroy the evil that has been hidden underground for thousands of years! Tell me, where is the Red Shard Scepter of the Shifting Sands fragment?"
"Red... shards? Ahn'Qiraj? You want to... open... the Scarab Wall?"
Vaelastrasz's gaze hardened, and he said with difficulty, "The red... shard... was taken by Nefarian! No, Nefarian's power has taken control of me, I'm going mad! Run, before I completely lose my mind... no, Nefarian's wrath is burning within me... Kill me, kill me now! No... I'll kill you all!"
Vaelastrasz has gone completely mad!
He launched an attack on Valestrasza.
Jiang Jie sighed again.
It was too late after all.
Yes, it doesn't matter when you come.
If Nefarian is alerted, and if news leaks that the Alliance and Horde are preparing to open the Scarab Wall, Nefarian will definitely target Vaelastrasz and seize the Red Shard.
Without a doubt.
Therefore, Nefarian must be killed!
Hopefully he hasn't destroyed the Red Shard yet, otherwise...
Everything's in trouble!
But at that moment, Jiang Jie suddenly heard a slightly lazy and mocking voice:
"The black dragon's mind manipulation spells, are they that impressive? N'Zoth already knew how to do that, didn't he?"
It's the voice of Xal'atath!
The young woman suddenly spoke, sounding as if she held the black dragon's magic in utter disdain, and by extension, as well as disdain for N'Zoth, the most powerful Old Gods of the moment?
" N'Zoth is the most powerful Old Gods right now, the most successful of the five of you! And you, Xal'atath... heh." Jiang Jie politely reminded him.
"Snort!"
Xal'atath gave a haughty snort, then surprisingly sighed, muttering, "The weakest often survive to the end; reality is so ironic! The strongest, Y'Shaarj, is dead, and the weakest, N'Zoth, has quietly risen to power—that shameless bastard! But it doesn't matter; he's not actually the weakest, and he may not be the one laughing last..."
"The weakest one is actually you, the pathetic wretch who was wiped out at the very beginning. And the one who laughs last is of course you, Xal'atath, because you are mine now. With my support, N'Zoth and Y'Shaarj are no match for you. I will help you devour C'Thun, devour Yogg-Saron, devour N'Zoth and Y'Shaarj."
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "How about it? Isn't it tempting? Don't resist anymore. Give me your whole being, body and soul, and let us become one perfectly. I promise I will help you fulfill your ultimate wish, and even help you revive your original body!"
"My wish is to kill you! You despicable, shameless, vile, filthy, and vile human being!"
Xal'atath unleashed a torrent of vicious curses before finally saying, " Nicholas, I can help you break the black dragon's spell and set that little red dragon free!"
"You'd be so kind? Are you sure you're not planning to take advantage of the situation to control the little red dragon and then use it against me?" Jiang Jie asked suspiciously.
He had no doubt about Xal'atath's abilities; after all, she was a genuine claw of Old Gods...
But Xal'atath has been resisting all along, why would he be so kind?
"That's how kind of you are! So, are you in or not?" Xal'atath crossed his arms, tilted his head up at a 45-degree angle, and stared at the camera with an "believe it or not" attitude.
Actually, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart:
Damn human, he actually saw right through me!
Forget it, if we don't want to control it, we don't want to. It's pointless anyway, that little red dragon is no match for this guy!
Jiang Jie smiled and let Xal'atath make his move.
Schemes and tricks don't matter anymore, Xal'atath is completely suppressed and will never be able to turn the tide.
What else is there to care about?
