Azshara's Wrath
Monari (Sea Elemental Lords): "Stop him! Stop him right now!" Seeing the Dragon Claw claws hurtling towards him, Monari screamed in terror.
"Let me deal with him!" A sea giant king suddenly emerged from the sea. It was none other than Dukates, one of Monari's four trusted bosses, a high-level boss, who loyally charged towards the Chaos Dragon.
With a loud thud, the Chaos Dragon was knocked off balance, allowing the Sea Elemental Lords to escape.
Enraged at losing his prey, Azathoth turned and seized the sea giant king. Azathoth (the Source of Chaos): "Die, you ant!"
A pair of Dragon Claw grabbed the Sea Giant King's arms, locking him firmly in place and dragging him into the air. With a gaping maw, it bit down on the Sea Giant King's head, and with a powerful pull, snapped the sea giant's head off. The giant was now dead beyond any doubt. The headless corpse fell from the sky with a thud, splashing water everywhere.
System notification: In the year 1375 of the Azure Era, Azathoth slew the Sea Giant King Dukates and the Lost Path, gaining 123 reputation points.
By this time, both the Frost Titan and the Sea Elemental Lords had escaped to the deep sea, where they were now safe under the protection of the seawater.
Azathoth (Chaos Elemental): "Hmph, you got lucky you ran fast, but next time--"
As Xiao Yu, transformed into Chaos Dragon, spoke, he spat out the sea giant's head from his mouth. With a powerful clench of his Dragon Claw, the sea giant's massive head was instantly crushed to pieces. He then gave a cold smile to the stunned Monari, turned around, and flew away.
His next target was Tianwu, the Elemental Lord of Air had been trapped earlier. Xiao Yu thought to himself, "This guy can't possibly go into the water, can he?" Just as he returned to the location where he had released the Simulated Black Hole, he saw that the energy maintaining the black hole had run out, and Tianwu, the Elemental Lord of Air, was struggling to escape from it.
His gaseous body was now twisted and disorganized, clearly indicating that he had suffered greatly while trapped in the black hole, with his health dropping by hundreds of thousands. Upon seeing the Chaos Dragon rushing towards him and noticing that Gonggong and Monari had vanished, he knew something was wrong and immediately turned and ran.
The advantage of the wind element was evident at this moment. It wasn't very good at fighting, but its speed was absolutely incredible. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was not slow either. He caught up with it with a flap of his wings. The two chased and fled, but they could never widen the distance between them.
Tianwu (Elemental Lord of Air): "Wind, heed my command!" The Wind Control Barrier is activated, and instantly, Tianwu's speed within the Wind Control Barrier's range increases by 30%.
(Isn't it just Wind Control Barrier? I can do that too!) Xiao Yu thought to himself.
Azathoth (Chaos Elemental): "Wind, heed my command!" He also activated Wind Control Barrier, increasing his speed by 30%, which was equally impressive.
Tianwu (Elemental Lord of Air): "Holy crap, how come you know this move too? Damn, this isn't scientific!"
Azathoth (the Chaos Elemental): "Science? Don't mention the word 'science' in front of me, Azathoth. Just stop and fight me. Don't worry, I'll be gentle."
The two of them then arrived near a thick layer of clouds.
Tianwu (Elemental Lord of Air): "Damn it, don't think I'm helpless! Sky Guardians, come to my aid!"
From the surrounding clouds, hundreds of cyclone and hurricane elements emerged, all elite units. These elite wind element creatures were Tianwu's personal guard— the Sky Guard Corps. At this moment, dozens or even hundreds of huge cyclone and hurricane elements surrounded him, and the Enrage airflow immediately stopped Xiao Yu, who had transformed into Chaos Dragon, from advancing.
That Tianwu seized the opportunity and flew away in a flash.
Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. To become an Elemental Lords, one would inevitably have some resources under their command: elite guards, BOSS henchmen—these would be sent out as scapegoats in times of crisis. Taking them down was truly troublesome. Killing that Dreadlord back then was somewhat lucky; because he infiltrated the enemy camp alone, he had no followers and had to summon them temporarily, which allowed Xiao Yu to find an opportunity to eliminate him. Now, encountering someone with a horde of followers, killing them wouldn't be so easy. But, humph, you can run now; I'll take your followers.
Xiao Yu hadn't originally planned to kill them all, since Tianwu had over five million HP, and killing him would be quite difficult. So, it would be good enough to just kill some elite monsters and earn some reputation and experience points.
Xiao Yu was ruthless in dealing with these cyclone and hurricane elements. Just then, the cooldown of Netherstorm was over, so he unleashed a Netherstorm and killed dozens of them with one big move. Then he unleashed a barrage of Chaos Dragon Breath, killing more than a dozen more. The rest, seeing that things were not going well, scattered and flew away.
Unfortunately, while the experience points were plentiful, the reputation points were pitifully small. Killing dozens of elites only yielded 134 reputation points. There's nothing I can do about it; if your template rank is too high, the reputation points gained from killing low-level bosses and elites will be reduced.
Having killed enough in one go, Xiao Yu slowly descended from the sky.
He's starting to like the Chaos Dragon form. Being able to soar freely in the air is definitely more fun than being Water Elemental Lord can only move on land and in water. The high mobility allows him to fight and leave whenever he wants, making him practically Invincible on such a large battlefield. No wonder the Dragon Clan boss templates are so expensive; there's definitely a reason for the high price.
As he thought this, he swept across the sea, continuously spewing dragon breath at the enemies below. The Chaos Dragon Breath relentlessly reaped the lives of the enemies in the sea. Because the enemies were so densely packed, each breath could kill several or even a dozen enemies.
Meanwhile, at the Naga army's main camp...
Faras Bloodfin (Naga Highlord): "Your Majesty, the Sea Elemental Lords Monari and the Frost Titan Gonggong have both been defeated."
Azshara (Naga Queen): "I knew those guys were unreliable, but it's alright. It seems Elune's oracle was right. The artifact in Azathoth's hands is gone. Now, it's time for him to taste the power of my magic. He once repelled us with the power of storms, and now, he will taste the power of those storms too!"
The queen sat on a throne decorated with coral atop a giant whale, and spoke in a languid yet resentful tone.
Her entire body was shrouded in a purple mist. Because she could not accept her current appearance, she would shroud herself in this magically created mist whenever she went to war.
Azshara rose from her throne, facing the Lost Island and the Chaos Dragon soaring in the sky. She began to chant an ancient incantation. Azshara was a magic-based boss with unparalleled magical power. Ten thousand years ago, she possessed extraordinary magical strength, even Archimonde, the leader of the Burning Legion, was extremely wary of her. Given her immense power, ten thousand years had passed, and Azshara's magic had become even stronger. Moreover, she possessed an instinctive talent for magic. After her previous defeat, she had been deconstructing the magical structure of that Ocean Storm, and now was the time for her to test her learning. Once this power was released, it would have earth-shattering destructive force.
Xiao Yu, in his Chaos Dragon form, was circling in the air, searching for a worthy target. Suddenly, he noticed that his surroundings had darkened. Looking up, he saw a huge, swirling cloud of dark clouds slowly gathering above his head. This sight was somewhat similar to the powerful attack he had unleashed with Scourge of the Ocean, but he knew that this time, the one using that attack was the enemy.
Fortunately, this swirling dark cloud was much smaller than the one he had summoned before, so its power shouldn't be too great—he thought with a bit of luck, and the answer soon came to him.
The next second, a bolt of lightning struck him from the sky, landing right on his back.
Crack! A massive, bucket-sized bolt of electricity struck him, causing his health to plummet. Looking at his health bar, he realized that this single blow had taken away over 30,000 of his health.
Strictly speaking, this lightning bolt is also an AOE skill, so it deals particularly massive damage to very large groups of creatures.
Xiao Yu felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and his energy surged. He flapped his wings vigorously to keep from falling and hurriedly began to increase his speed.
Lightning bolts rained down one after another. The Chaos Dragon circled and flew around, dodging left and right, but the lightning was too fast. No matter how he moved, he could only dodge about half of the attacks. Many bolts still struck him. Moreover, he discovered that these lightning bolts did not attack aimlessly like the Ocean Storm he had released before, but were specifically targeting him.
He sped across the beach, and a bolt of lightning nearly struck him, but he narrowly dodged it, landing among a group of adventurers and instantly killing several of them.
The adventurers below let out a shout.
"Damn it, boss, don't fly this way!"
"Fly into the sea, fly into the sea."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "That's right. Since this lightning is chasing after me, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it, since Azshara values me so much." He quickly flapped his wings and flew towards the location of the elemental army in the sea. He flew over the army of Elemental Will, with the lightning following behind him, bombarding them relentlessly. The elemental army in the ocean suffered heavy casualties, and many Naga also perished. Azshara, however, paid no attention and continued to bombard them with lightning.
Faras Bloodfin (Naga Highlord): "Your Majesty, your lightning has accidentally struck our people."
Azshara (Naga Queen): "Hmph, what does it matter how many of those incompetent trash die? That guy is about to give up; he just needs to hold on a little longer."
Seeing that the lightning still hadn't stopped, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Trying to kill me in one go? Hmph, you're dreaming. I have a healing skill."
