Chapter 684: Beating Illidan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Facing Illidan’s question, Roy tilted his head slightly and said with a faint smile, “What do you mean? Illidan Stormrage, do you… really want to see me expelled?”
“You… don’t belong here, not on Azeroth!” Illidan calmed his mind and gritted his teeth. “The Burning Legion’s plan has failed, demon! Go back to the Twisting Nether!”
Illidan was sure that when he, Malfurion, and the others appeared at the Well of Eternity, the demons had noticed his rebellion, so he was going all out in front of Roy. Anyway, he had already completed his plan, so he no longer needed to pretend to be polite to the demons.
“Hehe, how dare you speak to me like this? Illidan, aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”
The smile on Roy’s face gradually became ferocious, and he released the power in his body. In an instant, Illidan felt a terrifying pressure suffocating him. His standing body began to bend involuntarily, and his knees began to tremble, about to collapse.
However, he still persisted and resisted this terrifying pressure with all his might. Even though cold sweat poured out of his body like a waterfall, he did not kneel in front of Roy.
Finally, Illidan let out a resolute roar. He sprang forward and rushed at Roy with the Twin Blades of Azzinoth!
Under his eyes covered by a cloth strip, Illidan saw Roy as an enormous black shadow with a strange mist rising. Under this black shadow was an immense amount of magic power energy that made him despair. He knew that Osiris was an opponent he couldn’t defeat, but at this point, he couldn’t escape. He could only fight with everything he had and seek life in despair.
The Twin Blades of Azzinoth were a pair of strange weapons, and it naturally required special combat skills to wield them. But it had to be said that these weapons were very compatible with Illidan. Ever since he obtained these weapons, he had mastered the technique of wielding them in a short time. When he rushed to Roy, he continuously rotated his body and used his quick footwork to slash at Roy. Every attack was an extreme arc attack, looking like a dance.
However, even though every slash hit, Illidan’s expression became heavier and heavier. There was no feeling of the blades cutting into the body. Instead, there was a sizzling sound like friction with steel.
Roy was standing still without moving, allowing the blades to slash his body and create sparks on his skin.
Failed to break the enemy’s defense…
Although the Twin Blades of Azzinoth were very famous, in fact, they weren’t a divine artifact-level weapon. Their original source was only a doomguard commander of the Burning Legion. How could this demon, who was only at the middle level of the Burning Legion, have any divine weapon?
The greatest characteristic of the Twin Blades was their sharpness, but they didn’t have any other unique magical attribute. However, this sharpness was nothing to Roy.
Of course, if the foundation of a weapon was good enough, it would gradually grow with the continuous infusion of power from the user. The Twin Blades of Azzinoth might grow into divine artifacts in the future as Illidan continued to fight. But Illidan had only obtained this pair of weapons not long ago, so there was naturally no growth.
Roy allowed Illidan to jump around in front of him and keep waving his weapons, thinking to himself that Illidian was indeed an agility-type hero. This action looked dazzling, but… it was useless!
When Roy was tired of watching, he suddenly took action. He raised his right hand and flicked his index finger. Coincidentally, Illidan bumped into him. Before he could even react, Roy’s index finger flicked his chin. With a soft thud, Illidan felt as if he had been hit by a running rhinoceros. His head tilted back violently, and then his body flew tens of meters away like a cannonball. Finally, he smashed into the ground with a bang and plowed a half-meter-deep ravine into the ground before stopping.
The moment Illidan was hit by the flick, one of his warglaives flew out of his hand and spun a few times in the air before landing and inserting into the floor not far in front of Roy.
Lying on the floor, Illidan couldn’t get up for a long time. The attack on his lower jaw caused his head to buzz, and he felt dizzy whenever he looked at anything. He felt that all his teeth had shattered, and blood leaked out from his mouth.
Illidan knew that the disparity between him and Roy was immense, but he didn’t expect it to be so great that he was sent flying with just a flick of a finger…
Roy shook his head. The current Illidan was probably only at the strength of a high-rank demon. He didn’t know what gave Illidian the courage to attack him. Besides, this was Roy. If the person standing here were Archimonde, he would have probably crushed his head.
After Illidan stood up shakily, he still assumed a fighting stance, but he only held a warglaive in his hand, looking quite tragic.
Roy’s tail curved over, picked up the warglaive on the floor, and pointed it at Illidan. Illidan subconsciously grabbed the warglaive and looked at Roy in a daze, not understanding what he meant.
“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore!” Roy said as he walked past him. “On account of your praiseworthy courage, I won’t pursue the matter of you betraying the Legion…”
This time, Illidan was really stunned, so much so that he didn’t make a defensive stance when Roy walked past him. When he returned to his senses, he found Roy walking toward the Well of Eternity and immediately said, “W-what do you mean? Don’t you intend to capture me?”
“Why should I capture you?” Roy snorted. “Let you be a prisoner? Ha, is there a need for me to do that? It won’t be long before some people lock you up!”
Illidan really couldn’t understand this demon in front of him, but he wasn’t stupid. He could feel that Demon Osiris was not hostile to him, but he had overreacted just now.
At the same time, he was curious about what Roy wanted to do at the Well of Eternity, so he subconsciously followed.
After arriving at the edge of the lake, Roy raised his head and looked at the giant portal vortex above the Well of Eternity. The massive suction force was still continuing, but Sargeras’s body, which wanted to squeeze in from the other side, suppressed the suction force to the lowest level. This violent entry method caused the sky above the Well of Eternity to surge, and countless black lightning arcs were flashing wildly. Under this doomsday-like omen, anyone who saw it would think that a catastrophe was imminent.
But this wasn’t what Roy was concerned about. What he was really concerned about was the green fel energy surging out from the other side of the portal as Sargeras moved!
Sargeras was really anxious. This surging fel energy came from him. Not only did the uncontrollable fel energy cause the portal to mutate faster, but when it poured down from the sky, it also contaminated the lake water of the Well of Eternity. The originally crystal clear lake water had now turned dark green. The collision between the fel energy and pure energy began to cause violent waves on the surface of the Well of Eternity.
The Well of Eternity is finished! Roy judged.
Not only him, but after seeing this scene, Illidan couldn’t worry about so much anymore. He quickly ran a few steps past Roy, squatted at the edge of the lake, and reached out to hold a handful of lake water. But what he saw was totally dark green.
“Damn it, how could this happen?!” Illidan punched the ground angrily and roared in a low voice, “I’m too late!”
“It’s not too late!” Roy looked at him. “Even if you hadn’t fought me, you wouldn’t have been able to catch up. Sargeras’s fel energy corrodes faster than you think!”
Hearing this, Illidan turned his head sharply and looked at Roy in disbelief. “You know my goal?”
“Is it difficult to guess?” Roy snorted. “The other night elves are evacuating, and only you are running to the Well of Eternity. What else can you do besides wanting to get some well water?”
Illidan was speechless. He lowered his head and continued to look at the lake full of ill omens. “This is the pride of the night elves. It has accompanied the entire history of the night elves, but now, it has been destroyed by the Burning Legion…”
“It’s not impossible for you to save it!” Roy suddenly said.
When Illidan heard this, he was shocked and immediately understood. “Yes, although it’s contaminated now, there may be a way to purify it!”
He hurriedly took out the vials he had prepared earlier, wanting to fill them with the water of the Well of Eternity. But before he could reach a vial into the water, there was the sound of an air explosion, and then he found that the vial in his hand had exploded.
“Damn it. What do you want?!” Illidan was furious. He stood up and glared at Roy.
“How much well water can you hold in such a small vial?” Roy said disdainfully. “Get out of the way first. When I’m done and in a good mood, I’ll reward you with some!”
With that, Roy ignored Illidan’s resistance and reached out to push him away.
Under Illidan’s angry gaze, Roy’s right hand glowed and waved slightly at the surface of the Well of Eternity. With his wave, a strange scene appeared. A huge vortex suddenly appeared on the surface of the turbulent Well of Eternity, and the rapidly spinning water revealed a dark cavity.
Before Illidan could figure out what Roy was doing, he immediately turned his head to look at the vortex. In the vision of his Eyes of Magic Dispelling, he could see something full of powerful energy floating up from the vortex.
A moment later, an object emitting dazzling light slowly appeared. Then, following Roy’s summons, it turned into a ray of light and flew toward him.
After Roy caught the light, Illidan saw that what was hidden in the light was a long… sword embryo?!
