Good News and Bad News

Upon arriving at the seaside, Xiao Yu took out a legendary item— the Magic Ship in a Bottle.

[Name: The Magic Ship in a Bottle]

[Category: Mounts/War Machines]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Function: A ship]

[Item Effect (Active): Summon Warship, summoning the Storm to your service until the warship is destroyed or you cancel the summoning. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

[Note: The Storm is an ancient warship built by the Night Elf using dead branches of the World Tree. Due to the powerful magic it has been imbued with, you can even carry it in your pocket if necessary.]

He and the Water Elemental army swam here from the sea before, but since Leah Bloodmoon couldn't swim, she had to come by boat. Now he can finally try what it's like to travel by boat.

Summoning the Storm, and escorted by the elemental army, Xiao Yu began his return voyage.

Esmehalda inquired about the Council of Sages from Amalarui, while Xiao Yu, having nothing better to do, decided to test out his new form.

Switching to the Chaos Dragon form, the person's body immediately swelled up, transforming into a giant dragon with a wingspan of over thirty meters. Like the human form, the entire body was composed of chaotic energy, though it was not as solid as the human form.

Xiao Yu spread his wings and soared into the air. He had to admit, flying was a really great experience. No wonder so many players played Dragon Clan. Xiao Yu thought to himself as he familiarized himself with his new form.

After a day and a night of trekking, at 9 a. m. the next day, the elemental army finally returned to the waters near the Lost Island.

From a distance, one could see a dense army of Naga and Water Elemental surrounding the Lost Island completely. In addition, many flying serpents and wind elementals filled the sky, making the Lost Island as solid as an iron barrel.

Xiao Yu didn't take the Elemental Lords of the Elemental Will seriously, because they were located in different Elemental Plane and it was difficult for them to act together. It seemed that only the Water Elemental and wind elements were participating in this battle, so the bosses would only be the ice titan Gonggong, the sea Elemental Lords Monari, the Elemental Lord of Air Tianwu, and some other miscellaneous bosses. The fire and earth elemental bosses couldn't possibly reach this place. The highest level of these three lord-level bosses was only three skeletons.

However, there was one person Xiao Yu had to be cautious about dealing with: Azshara.

Azshara was once the queen of the Night Elf, and now she is the queen of the Naga. As the supreme leader of a monster force, she possesses immense magical power. After mutating into Naga, her strength has not only not weakened, but may even have become stronger. After all, under normal circumstances, corrupted bosses tend to become stronger. Her strength is rated as 8 Skeleton level, on par with Ragnaros. Without Annihilation, I have no confidence in fighting her.

Fortunately, although the encirclement was tight, it wasn't without its weaknesses; at least teleportation spells couldn't completely block it.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Big Water Cunt, Agnes, you two stay here with the troops and wait for orders. Don't let the enemy discover you. I'll go back to the island to check things out."

After saying that, Xiao Yu had Esmehalda use a Mass Teleport, which teleported him, Leah Bloodmoon, Amalarui to the island.

Upon returning to the island, Xiao Yu noticed that the atmosphere on the Lost Island was somewhat different, with a sense of impending doom.

Whether they were Water Elemental or adventurers, they all set up defenses on the island with serious or excited expressions.

Xiao Yu went directly to the Water Elemental Temple, and upon seeing his arrival, Wotkud hurriedly came to greet him.

Water Elemental Wotkud: "My lord, you're finally back. You look... a little different."

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Of course, I am no longer the ordinary Elemental Lords I once was. I have grasped the true essence of elemental power, and soon my enemies will deeply regret starting this war. Now tell me, what happened while I was away?"

Wotkud (Elder of the Water Elemental): "Hydra City has fallen. Monari has emerged from the Maelstrom with his army of Water Elemental, and they are backed by Neptulon's Guard. It seems the Water Elemental King has finally decided to eliminate us. Another Elemental Lords has joined them—an Ice Titan—along with countless ice elementals, ice sprites, and frost spirits. We are now surrounded by enemies on all sides in the Water Elemental Plane."

The wind elementals in the sky have also joined the battle; they've blotted out the sky, and several times I tried to send you a message, but they intercepted it.

Even more critically, Azshara's Naga army has begun its campaign again. Clearly, the previous defeat has left her deeply resentful. This time, she has mobilized an army of 100,000, joining forces with Monari's Water Elemental army to attack the Lost Island. We fought several battles yesterday, and although we repelled them with the help of adventurers and the Song of the Ocean, we suffered considerable losses."

One bad news after another came, but they were all within Xiao Yu's expectations. However, there was also some good news.

Water Elemental Elder: "By Wotkud way, Lord, a few days ago a group of adventurers came to see you. They said they had something very important to discuss with you, something about a mission you gave them. They are an adventurer organization called the Moonlight Travel Group."

Xiao Yu was stunned. The Moonlight Travel Group? Had they completed the task he had given them?

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Summon those adventurers to me. I'll deal with the rest later."

When he saw the adventurers, he was delighted; they were indeed the Moonlight Travel Group.

"Lord Azathoth? You look a little... different." Baoyue Liuguang stood in front of Azathoth and said with some surprise. Compared with the huge Elemental Lords was ten meters tall before, the strange form in front of him was only two meters tall, but the sense of oppression he felt was even stronger.

Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "It seems that everyone who has seen me recently is saying the same thing. In fact, I have indeed become different. My power has increased, it's that simple. Now, tell me, what do you want from me?" He spoke in that ancient, deep, and twisted voice.

After asking the question, Xiao Yu suddenly felt something was off. Didn't these guys know he was a player? Why were they speaking to him in such a respectful tone?

However, he quickly came up with a rough answer. Since the other party was an RPG enthusiast, they probably didn't frequent game forums much. Otherwise, seeing that the characters in their world were played by real players would ruin the experience in their mind. If that was the case, it would be convenient.

"We've found a way to open the Dark Portal. Dark Portal's a product of Eredar magical technology, and only Eredar magic can activate it. We've found a mage who can use Eredar Magic and can help open it. However, investigating this has been quite costly, so if you can give us the reward we agreed on, I'd be happy to tell you this person's name."

The mission reward, right? That's easy. For a legendary mission, you have to use legendary items as rewards.

Xiao Yu opened his backpack and looked inside. He had quite a few legendary items, most of which were useful. The least useful one was undoubtedly the Bulwark of Azzinoth (shield). This thing was just a piece of equipment and didn't have any special uses like other items. Although its attributes were very strong, it wasn't very useful to him.

Azathoth (Source of Chaos): "Of course, tell me the mage's name, and this shield is yours."

After glancing at the shield's attributes, everyone's eyes lit up.

[Name: Bulwark of Azzinoth]

[Category: Equipment (Shield)]

[Quality: Legendary (Story Item)]

[Function: Armor +60, Maximum Health +500]

[Item Effect (Active): Phase Shift. Enters a phase dimension where you are immune to all attacks, and your skills and attacks have no effect on enemies. Your movement speed is reduced by 80% for 30 seconds.]

[Item Effect (Passive): Phase Deflection. When attacked by ranged attacks (including magic), there is a 33% chance to reflect the attack or magic back. This effect is ineffective against area-of-effect attacks (magic).]

[Note: This is a magical shield crafted using magical phase technology. Due to the instability of this technology, this shield is one of the very few experimental products of phase technology.]

Baoyue Liuguang nodded. This legendary equipment was undeniably powerful, and it was more than a great reward for the quest.

"This mage's name is Medivh, and he lives in a mage tower called Karazhan."

Medivh Xiao Yu was immediately startled upon hearing this name; he naturally recognized it.

System notification: Completed the legendary quest, The Draenor's Expedition, and received the reward [Bulwark of Azzinoth]. Your reputation with the Immortals has increased by 1000 points, and you have reached Exalted reputation with the Immortals.

Hearing the system notification, Baoyue Liuguang took the Bulwark of Azzinoth in her hand. It was a round bronze shield with a hollow design, the gaps of which were covered by a transparent phase barrier.

He gave the shield directly to the Warrior in the adventurer's group; although it was a legendary item, he gave it away just like that.

"Holy crap, a legendary shield! Hahaha, this is awesome! Now I can finally reclaim my MT (Main Tank) status!" exclaimed the Warrior from the Moonlight Travel Group.

Previously, the MT position in the Moonlight Travel Group was always occupied by the group's Bear of Fury, Teddy. A level 57 Warrior's status was lower than that of a bear, which made the Warrior very unhappy. Now, he can finally hold his head high. With this legendary shield, is he still afraid of not being able to tank the BOSS?
