MTL - Azeroth Shadow of the Moon-Chapter 59 Archimonde's Compromise
Due to the erosion of evil energy, the originally vibrant land next to the Well of Eternity was severely dried up and cracked, becoming a true forbidden area for life.
At this time, this devastated land was hit hard again. Huge irregular potholes spread all over the ground, and the surface of the Well of Eternity lake, which was dyed miserable green by evil energy, reflected the dazzling energy light and shadow in the sky.
"Crack!"
There was another explosion, and a figure jumped out from the intertwined light and shadow, retreated more than ten meters in the air, and then stabilized its figure again.
The other person smashed into the dry and cracked ground like a cannonball, forming a deep pit.
What fell into the ground was a demon with blue skin and curved horns. It was Archimonde the Defiler, the vanguard commander of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth.
The woman floating in mid-air is Queen Azshara in full armor.
Unlike the previous "playing around" with Andrea, Azshara put on a set of exquisite and gorgeous dress robes at this time, and amazing mana fluctuations lingered around the robes.
In her hand, she held an exquisite staff with a miniature statue of herself engraved on the tip of the staff. Three arcane light spheres of different colors circled around the tip of the staff constantly and regularly.
Tie her waist-length silver hair into a high ponytail, without the laziness and casualness of the past, Azshara looked at Archimonde who had just climbed out of the pit with a serious face.
‘Is it unharmed? Sure enough, it's not easy to deal with. '
Shaking off the dirt on his body, Archimonde looked up at Azshara who was still in a fighting posture in the air.
"Queen of the Night Empire, that's about it for now."
Archimonde, who had always acted as he wanted, rarely had a chat. The previous battle with Azshara made him recognize the opponent's strength.
In a short period of time, no one can do anything between the two of them.
Forcibly fighting, the final result is likely to be that the Well of Eternity will be affected by the aftermath of their battle and cannot continue to perform its function as an interstellar portal. This situation is unacceptable to Archimonde.
Although Sargeras gave him an incomparable status and strength, the fallen titan with a distorted mind was very strict with his failed subordinates, even Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, who were his right and left hands, were no exception. .
As a result, the punishment system in the Burning Legion was established in this way, and the fraudsters and polluters followed suit. Even if the demons who failed the mission were lucky enough to be resurrected, they would be punished with terrifying punishments that ordinary people could not imagine.
Destroy the Witch Coven.
Even the cruel and tyrannical demons are full of fear for this organization that specializes in the punishment of the Burning Legion.
Most of the demons who had entered the halls of the Witch Society never came out again, and the few who survived by chance were all insane, completely lost themselves, and became humanoid killing machines that only knew how to obey orders.
With Archimonde's status in the Burning Legion, the Witch Council has no right to punish him, but the punishment executed by Sargeras himself is equally terrifying.
In order to successfully complete the task of expanding the portal so that Sargeras could come to Azeroth, which he dreamed of, Archimonde even forcibly suppressed his temper, and obediently stood by the Well of Eternity to monitor the progress of the Highborne. Work.
Seeing that the goal is about to be achieved, he is not willing to make mistakes at this juncture.
Archimonde looked at the **** head held by Azshara's left hand. The dreadlord, still dripping with green blood, had a frightened and unwilling expression on his face.
As the leader of the Dreadlord, Tichondrius couldn't even pass a round under Azshara's hands, and she cut off her head with an arcane energy blade in one encounter.
"You've executed Tichondrius yourself, how about that idiot's mistake?"
"not enough."
Azshara raised the head in his hand and looked at it. The dark green translucent light was rushing left and right in the lifeless head, but it still couldn't break through the arcane barrier under Azshara's cloth.
"Don't think that I, the "native" queen, don't know anything. The dead demon souls can escape back to the twisting void, and sooner or later Tichondrius will be resurrected again."
Azshara sneered and said, "If I hadn't taken Sargeras's face into consideration, I would have completely annihilated the soul of this big bat long ago."
Archimonde asked gloomyly, "Don't go too far, what else do you want?"
"promise."
Azshara said imposingly, "This incident is a warning signal. I don't want to see my subjects being harmed by demons in the future."
"Archimonde, you must make a promise to me to restrain your subordinates so that they can no longer break into the aristocratic area at will."
A flash of anger flashed in Archimonde's eyes. Since joining the Burning Legion, no mortal has ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.
But right now he really has no way to tear himself apart from Azshara, and the arrival of Sargeras still needs the assistance of the Highborne mage.
‘The guy who has done more than succeed but failed! '
Angrily labeling Tichondrius in his heart, Archimonde's chest heaved a few times before he calmed down.
"Okay, I can promise you that what happened this time will never happen again."
Turning his eyes, considering that Azshara is likely to become his colleague in the future, Archimonde revealed a wicked smile, and decided to put eye drops on his "good friend" in advance.
"Moreover, strictly speaking, Tichondrius is not my subordinate. The entire Nathrezim clan is subordinate to Kil'jaeden, and Tichondrius is his most important adjutant."
"The leader of Nathrezim can only be regarded as a visitor when he comes to Azeroth, and I can't go beyond the strict requirements of them."
Azshara frowned slightly, and she, who was proficient in power, easily understood Archimonde's hidden meaning. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
"Kil'jaeden the Deceiver?"
Nodding noncommittally, Azshara said without revealing anything, "I remember, and I hope you can keep your promise."
"Back to you."
Separating the wailing soul of Tichondrius from his head, Azshara threw the soul to Archimonde like litter.
Archimonde took Tichondrius' soul, and he could clearly see the expression begging for mercy on the translucent ugly face.
"huh~"
Archimonde gave an evil laugh, and threw the soul of the leader of Nathrezim towards the portal.
"Tichondrius, let Kil'jaeden personally punish your mistakes. I'd like to see if he has any excuses to continue meddling in Azeroth's affairs."
Azshara is not interested in power struggles within the Burning Legion, at least...not for now.
With Archimonde's promise, she turned around and left with Tichondrius's soulless head, and soon landed in the palace under the watchful eyes of Vashki and other maids.
"call…"
Returning to her core site, Azshara, who had been acting very strong before, shook her body, and Vashj hurried forward to try to help her.
Holding her staff, Azshara regained her footing and shook her head to Vashj with a pale face. "I'm fine, but the mana consumption is a bit high."
"Worthy of being Sargeras' right-hand man, without the help of the magic power of the Well of Eternity, it is really difficult to persist under him for a long time."
Considering the current state of the Well of Eternity, Azshara's eyes flashed a trace of worry.
‘If I continue to let the evil energy gradually infect the core of the Well of Eternity, can I continue to absorb pure arcane magic power from the well in the future? '
