28. The most familiar stranger---why whatever! 【20/20】
On the top floor of the Temple of Storms, a battle between the two guardians and former brothers is about to break out.
The Great Guardian Lai may not have noticed it himself. Since he was awakened by Tyrion, facing the extremely bad reality in this strange world, his behavior has become more and more like the person who is on his side.
The high lord moved closer. Whether it was to reshape Azadas's body or use the energy of the Origin Forge to create new soldiers, these were not things that the wise and kind-hearted Great Guardian Lai would do.
Perhaps as he said, disaster and time will completely change a person.
Facing Rai's strong order, Thorim, who was sitting on the throne, narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"If I hadn't been familiar with you, Rai, I would have thought that the person standing in front of me was the chief administrator who always likes to talk about war... Odin, the best and most warlike brother among us.
...You seem to have changed a lot in these tens of thousands of years."
"It's no use talking more!"
Lai took a step forward with the thunder sword in his hand, and Sargeras' body expanded rapidly. The next moment, the heavy sword roared and slashed down amidst the roar of thunder and lightning:
"We are saving you! Thorim, if you reject us, the next person who comes to talk to you will not be so... peaceful."
"Bang"
A warhammer entwined with thunder appeared in Thorim's hand, blocking the giant sword slashed by Rai. In the dazzling lightning flash, the entire Storm Temple's wind howled at this moment, and the two guardians'
The war made the sky over Storm Peaks seem to darken.
After the storm guardian's power dispersed, a thick layer of surging frost hissed in the wind. The warrior's will in Thorim's body was slowly awakening. Rai's strong request made him feel very dissatisfied.
More importantly, he believed that Lai's request violated his repentance for his wife's death.
Thorim loved his wife very much... so after Sif died, his heart was almost filled with pain, making him completely unable to see the truth, and making it difficult for him to see the truth.
"Then come on!"
Thorim gritted his teeth and said:
"Either get out of my temple! Or take my body with you!"
This answer made the anger in Lai's eyes even stronger, and the force exerted on the Great Guardian's sword became heavier. In his roar, the heavy sword fell again:
"good!"
"Then as you wish!"
On the other side, the guardian Elonaya, who was trekking towards the Temple of Storms in the Storm Cliffs, stood among the mountains of the Storm Cliffs. When she raised her head, she could see the dazzling thunder light erupting from the top of the Storm Temple in the distance, as well as the sky
In the midst of the gathering and dispersing clouds and storms, as a member of the orthodox guardian system, Elonnaya could easily tell that it was an energy illusion created by Thorim mobilizing his own power.
In the Battle of the Lord hundreds of thousands of years ago, the brave Storm Guardian also rolled up thunder and lightning in the sky and attacked the servants of the ancient gods.
But in the Storm Peaks, with the level of life power currently existing here, who can make the powerful Thorim burst out with such power to fight? Could it be...Yog-Saron?
Elonaya's expression immediately became serious. Some time ago, during the inspection of the Bronzebeard dwarves, she saw with her own eyes the Holy Table of the Creator contaminated by the flesh-and-blood tentacles of the ancient god. This fully proved that Yog
-Saron's power has transcended Ulduar's seal. Perhaps now, the gloomy ancient god is controlling his dark power to attack Storm Guardian Thorim!
Maybe the ancient gods sensed a threat?
Thinking of this, Elonnaya no longer hesitated. She jumped down from the mountain. Her body expanded rapidly, restoring the tall rock body of the guardian. During the surge of stone-shaping power,
, a rock sword appeared in her hand. The guardian quickly crossed the mountain plain and rushed towards the wind direction of the Storm Temple. But the moment she approached the Storm Temple, another tall rock life holding a war hammer,
Right in front of her charge.
It was a rock life that she had never seen before, but the perception coming from it made her feel very familiar. The rock giant in front of her seemed to be someone she had seen, a very familiar person...
"Don't go there!"
The rock giant, whose face was covered by a rock-evolved mask, held a war hammer and stretched out his hand towards Elonaya in front of him. He shouted loudly:
"The battle of the guardians cannot be interrupted!"
"Who are you!"
Elonaya looked at the rock life in front of her and shouted loudly:
"Are you also a guardian? Why haven't I seen you? But I am so familiar with you... Tell me! Who are you!"
"You don't need to know who I am. This question is meaningless. You only need to know that at present, our purpose and yours are the same, both to save Ulduar. Retreat, defender Elonnaya,
We don't need to fight!"
Azadas, who covered his face with a rock mask, looked at his former companions. A few years ago, when the bronze-bearded dwarf Brian recklessly broke into Uldaman, Elonaya, who still retained his sense, was in Uldaman.
In the deepest part of the ruins, in order to protect Brian, he had a big fight with Azadas who had fallen into madness. In that battle, Azadas' body was destroyed by Elonaya.
In Elonaya's eyes, Azadas, who was also the adjutant of Tyr, the god of justice, and his companion, were already dead.
But the Shaper Azadas did not die. After Tyrion and Rai used the Nalaksha engine to reshape his body, the once brave guardian awakened again, but for him, the cowardly person he once was
Azadas is dead, and he is reborn as an avenger. He not only wants to avenge Lord Tyr who was killed by Loken, but also wants to avenge the endless suffering suffered by the guardians.
He followed the newly reborn Great Guardian Lai and met Elune, the spirit of the world who had not yet awakened, in the Core of the World. He also accepted Elune's plea to dedicate everything he had to this last titan.
..To be honest, Azadas hopes that his former companion Elonaya will also join this sacred mission. Unfortunately, Elonaya has not yet known the terrible truth about the annihilation of the Pantheon, and now, she stands on the side of mortals.
there...
Although the goals of both parties are the same, the camps are different after all, and some things are not suitable to be disclosed at this time. After all, the minions of the Ancient God can be found throughout the Storm Cliffs. Although Elonaya is trustworthy, he still cannot take risks.
"Get out of the way!"
Alonaya is a brave defender. She once followed Tyr, the god of justice, to fight everywhere. She would not leave just because of the persuasion of the rock life in front of her. She raised her sword and shouted to the rock life in front of her:
"Thorim's fate is very important to this war. I can't let you just do whatever you want!"
Azadas did not retreat. The former shaper raised the rock hammer in his hand. This action represented everything. A trace of fire flashed in the eyes of the brave Elonaya. She held up the sword and let out a roar.
He rushed over like a warrior, the battle sword in his hand brought about the surge of the power of the earth. Before Elonaya's charge, the snow-covered earth rolled outwards and thrust out sharp thorns of the earth.
Attack the rock life in front of you while moving up and down.
"Bang"
Azadas smashed the thick earth thorn with one punch, and the warhammer in his hand hit the sword blade of his former companion accurately. The new body shaped by the Nalaksha engine was filled with sufficient titan energy.
Zadas's power was far greater than that of Elonaya. With this blow, the sword in the female guardian's hand was brutally broken.
The fragments of the rock rolled around, and the Titan's power lingering on them made the fragments full of powerful power. When they hit the ground, they would create craters like cannonballs. However, Elonnaya, who lost his weapon, did not stop fighting.
, On the contrary, she raised her fists, approached Azadas, and punched the body of the rock life one by one.
The aura of this rock woman is extremely fierce. She is like a she-wolf that hunts for prey. She relies on her arrogant aura to beat Azadas, who is stronger than her, back step by step.
This is natural...not surprising, because when she was created, Elonaya was a fighting protector. She also introduced this to the dwarves. She was not good at manipulating Titan equipment, nor was she good at controlling Titan equipment.
Knowing the magic secrets of the Titans too well, she is better at fighting the enemy head-on, while Azadas is called the Shaper. He is more like a mage who manipulates the power of the Titans than a warrior who fights head-on.
During this kind of close combat, it was very normal for him to be pressed down and beaten by Elonaya.
But Elonaya's own body had already collapsed when the ruins of Uldaman collapsed. Her current body is a rock structure found in the Rock Hall, which is much weaker than her previous body. It is completely
Unable to exert the strength that a Titan warrior should have.
"Bang"
At the moment when the eighth consecutive punch fell, Elonaya's wrist was grabbed by Azadas, and the shaper's power exploded, throwing her over her shoulder, throwing the female guardian who was caught off guard, spinning around.
They fell hard on the pillars of the Temple of Storms... The two guys were already over 6 meters in size at this time. The destructiveness caused by such a simple attack and defense was no less than that of a small earthquake.
The energy phenomenon caused by the explosion of Titan's power even alarmed the nearby creatures. The female Vrykuls living in Brunhilda Village not far from the Temple of Storms had already gathered themselves in a loud voice.
Legion, their elders saw the lightning covering the sky above the Temple of Storms, and they declared that the vrykul gods were in battle and needed the help of their followers.
The Frost Giants who had hatred against the Vrykul saw the Vrykul gathering their legions and thought that these ferocious she-wolves were about to launch a general attack. So the Frost Giants also blew the horn of war and began to assemble their own soldiers.
In the Frost Castle in the south, the frost dwarves living here looked at the sky completely covered by thunder and lightning with horrified expressions. They believed that the end of this isolated land was coming.
Picture scrolls that only appeared in the age of gods appeared in this world, and finally even the mortals far away in the Snow Stream Plain were alarmed...
In short, the entire southern part of the Storm Peaks is in chaos.
"That's enough! Elonaya, this is not a battle you should get involved in! Go back! Go back to the mortals and help them open Ulduar, but don't let them get too deep into it!"
The struggling female guardian was restrained on the ground by Azadas in a very unsightly posture. The bodies of the two guardians were almost entangled together, like a couple, but there was no way, Azadas
If a spellcaster like Si wants to suppress a warrior like Elonnaya, he can only use such a weird method.
The bound Elonnaya took advantage of the moment Azadas was speaking, roared and smashed the rock mask on Azadas's face, revealing the face that haunted her... uh
, this word seems not to be used well. In short, after seeing the familiar face of Azadas, Elonnaya's struggle calmed down at this moment.
"Azadas! You...you're not dead?"
Elonaya asked in a low voice. She stretched out her hand and touched the rock-carved face of Azadas. The giantess's voice became trembling:
"I thought you had...who saved you? Tell me! What is going on? Since you are not dead, why don't you come to me?"
The two were once aides-de-camp to Tyr, the guardian of justice. The two had rescued each other countless times on the battlefield. Although love was rarely mentioned between the guardians, the relationship between Azadas and Elonaya
It is indeed extraordinary, especially 25,000 years ago, the two of them followed Tyr and escorted a group of Titan Familia who escaped from the Storm Cliff. After Tyr died in the battle, the two supported each other and took them with them.
Refugees live in the Uldaman base.
That experience brought the two guardians very close to each other in their hearts. If Tyr's death in battle hadn't made them unable to let go, they might have truly lived together like Thorim and Sif.
Of course, the love between rock beings means more of spiritual companionship.
"It's hard to explain, Elonaya."
Azadas let go of his companions who had calmed down. He looked back at the heavily armed female Vrykul who were getting closer and closer in the sky behind him. He turned to Elonaya and said:
"Now is not the time to talk. Yogg-Saron's power is all over this land. Don't tell anyone that you have seen us, especially those mortals. Their wills can hardly resist the erosion of the ancient gods.
. And Yogg-Saron thought it was only facing mortals. This is what we want to achieve. Go ahead, Elonaya, and lead the mortals forward..."
"When the time is right, we will join the battlefield and completely end this dark age that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years... And, take care of yourself! The guardians are about to usher in a new life... Don't fall in the darkness before dawn.
inside."
After saying that, Azadas quickly shrunk his body, picked up the war hammer and left. Although Elonnaya didn't know the meaning of Azadas' words, she could feel that her companions must be brewing a big conspiracy.
Plan, she nodded obediently. When Azadas was about to leave, the giantess suddenly asked:
"What about Loken?"
"No need to worry about Loken!"
Azadas glanced at the slowly subduing thundercloud storm in the sky. He knew that the battle between Rai and Thorim had also been combined. He turned back and smiled at Elonaya, and the smile was filled with a sense of joy of revenge.
:
"Chief Tire's death in battle, the hatred... we will get it all back soon!"
