Menethil's Power

Chapter 424 A Stalker in Another Sense

With a loud noise, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in a corner of the dark temple. The wall, which had experienced countless storms but was still safe, suddenly shattered. The sword pierced my heart, without exception.

Two figures rushed in from the breach in the wall, "You are what you call 'infiltrating'?!" Khadgar shouted in Isaacs: "Just break through the wall like this? Now the entire Dark Temple Everyone knows we're coming!"

Khadgar did not lack courage and whimsy, but he still did not expect Isaacs' move. The mage had already pinched the crystal pendant in his hand, which meant to send it when he saw the situation was not good.

He is thankful that he prepared ahead of time.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, I can guarantee that we really want to sneak into this temple, but the method will be more violent." Isaacs said in a nonchalant tone, holding a giant war hammer in his hand, which is almost the same The basic shape of the hand, but Isaacs is using it for the first time, and it is demolition work.

Khadgar was right, the movement generated by breaking through the wall was enough to attract all the demons in the dark temple. Although this seemed to be a good way to gather a large number of enemies, Isaacs did not Not here to carry out a massacre, he quickly judged his position, then walked to a stone slab, swung the silver sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed it to the ground.

"Boom!" There was a dull sound, and the stone floor hit by the giant hammer suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark underground passage, from which an indescribable smell came.

Isaacs nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the structure diagram of the temple given to him by General Tira Saran is still very accurate.The silver sledgehammer dissipated into liquid metal, "Let's go." He turned to greet Khadgar.

"This is?" the mage frowned subconsciously.

"Every successful large-scale building has one thing in common, that is, complete underground drainage facilities." Isaacs jumped in directly, and Khadgar followed closely behind. "It depends on your invisibility now," said the human prince.

Khadga began to cast the spell according to his words, and the figures of the two quickly became nothingness, and disappeared into the depths of the passage. Only the faint ripples that suddenly appeared in the remaining water could indicate that they had just passed.

Another group of patrolling demons came, but they could only look at the ruins and the scorched demon corpses, and could not find any traces of the enemy.

After a while, the leading demon guard realized that although he couldn't see the enemy, it was obvious that the temple had been invaded. He roared loudly and directed his subordinates to quickly spread the news of the enemy's invasion. Not long ago, the dark temple The turmoil in China has just subsided, but it seems that there will be another big storm.

Underground at this time, Isaacs and Khadgar hurried through the pipes. Since the environment of Draenor has undergone tremendous changes, the drainage system of this temple has become a decoration, although in the original history Illidan became an outlander. King Hou, his naga naturally took this place as their territory, but now there is no breath of life in these sewers.

Fortunately, apart from some foul-smelling dark green viscous liquid, there is nothing unbearable in the entire sewer. On the way forward, Isaacs and Khadgar encountered several water elementals polluted by fel energy , the green water man looks a bit weird, but it's not that strong, so it's easy to deal with.

"Where are you going?" After walking for nearly half an hour, Khadgar finally couldn't help asking: "We must be careful enough, and it is impossible to completely remove our breath even with a clever invisibility technique. Get too close to some powerful beings and we may be discovered," the mage warned.

"Don't worry, the perception ability of demons is generally poor." Isaacs said casually. Of course, he would not make a fool of himself. It was actually a cover for Khadgar to release his invisibility. He had already inspired the power of time to make the two of them Entering the super-dimensional state, compared to the imperfect stealth simulated by the mage through arcane power, the ability of the bronze dragon is obviously much more reliable.

"It's almost here." Isaacs said suddenly, and the two followed the upward pipeline, and soon saw the light, which was an exit.

Back on the ground again, Khadgar found that they were in an open area with almost no enemies around, except for a huge hellfire. Although the mage felt that this name was not appropriate for a moment, what he saw was indeed a legion The kind of rock giant that I see is only ten times the height of a normal hellfire, guarding the gate of the core hall of the temple, and burning blue flames all over it.

Hellfire has always been infused with evil energy and flames, but the torso of this giant hellfire is like ice crystals. His body is still burning with flames, but the dark blue flames do not have the slightest heat. It was a bone-chilling chill.

There's even a Fel Frost version of Hellfire?Khadgar was a little confused at first, and then thought of recording this amazing discovery to fill the gap in Dalaran's library about demon species.

And Isaacs' face became weird in an instant. He was too familiar with this kind of frost flame full of evil power. It can be said that there are only a handful of people in the Burning Legion with the power of frost, that is to say...

He suddenly felt that what was waiting for him in this kind of temple might not be the expected battle.

"Well, I think we should try to avoid fighting such an existence. Maybe we can find another way to enter the interior of the Black Temple." Khadgar gave a cautious suggestion.

For an elemental structure like Hellfire, body size is the best basis for judging its strength.

"I totally agree," Isaacs said on his lips, but the actual action was to rush towards the Deathfrost Hellfire. Khadgar didn't react at all. When he screamed and wanted to stop the human prince, the latter Already in front of that giant hellfire.

Well, the mage is helpless, after all, there is a huge problem with this guy's understanding of the concept of "infiltrating".

Unexpectedly, however, the terrifying battle Khadgar thought did not break out. Isaacs passed the hellfire and entered the hall behind him.The blue flames of Hellfire can touch his body, but Isaacs seems to have no feeling at all, and the effect of his invisibility has not been broken. You must know that this simulated stealth state is not stable, and any large external force effect will disappear.

What's even more amazing is that the huge demon didn't respond at all, and it seemed that it didn't notice Isaacs at all. This made Khadgar scratch his head a little. Could it be that his invisibility technique is so effective that he can even transform a paladin in an instant? For the most brilliant thief?
The figure of Isaacs disappeared at the entrance of the pitch-black palace, and Khadgar, who was left behind, was embarrassed at this moment. The mage looked at the huge blue hellfire, and his black eyes flickered faintly. He was not without courage, but He still hesitated, after all, Isaacs must not rely on a simple invisibility technique to be directly ignored by this huge demon.

In just a few seconds, Khadgar made a decision. He did not take any other actions, but imitated Isaacs and walked towards the huge hellfire, while secretly concentrating. This is a mage As a manifestation of his rationality and prudence, Khadgar would immediately use the blink technique to distance himself once he found any aggressive expressions from this hellfire, and would not hesitate to use the crystal pendant he had prepared before when necessary.

This little magic accessory he newly created must first form an energy resonance with a certain Protos crystal before the user can be teleported to the location of that crystal. Of course, this technology still has some drawbacks. A Protos crystal has been simply modified so that it can actively activate its own power according to certain established rules without the guidance of the operator, and respond spontaneously to the request for crossing. This is this kind of teleportation The principle of the jewelry is, but in the subsequent debugging, it was found that the transformed crystal itself lost the ability to fold.

But generally speaking, this shortcoming is harmless. After all, Khadgar's technique cannot be used in offensive situations that need to bypass the Protos crystal itself.

Khadgar originally wanted to name this crystal pendant "Star of Return", but Isaacs immediately expressed his clear opposition. He believed that it should be called a more appropriate and grounded name - Hearthstone.Before him, Protos crystals would inevitably spread to every town, and the pendant created by Khadgar that can actively stimulate the ability to jump is most suitable for installing on those large crystals that have been completely fixed as the core of the town's defense .

Hearthstone?To be honest, Khadgar was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that the name was actually very appropriate.There is a traditional custom among humans. People who travel far away will take a stone from the fireplace at home as a sustenance of homesickness. Therefore, hearthstone represents the warmth of home. Khadgar remembers a certain magic card that was popular in Dalaran back then The game also uses the name of Hearthstone, which is very commensurate with the effect of being able to return to the town after being activated.

Of course, it would be most appropriate to go directly to the inn. In fact, some mage masters in Dalaran who are bored have indeed made this kind of thing. They engraved the teleportation technique on a small stone and called it a furnace. stone.But this "hearthstone" is essentially more like a prank prop, because it really teleports people into the fireplace, which means that for safety reasons, it must not be used in winter.

But the "Hearthstone" in Khadgar's hands is fundamentally different. Since it is the Protos crystal itself that prepares for the jump energy, as long as it is activated in advance to enter the stress state, the real jump process will take more than a second. Time, that is to say, in most dangerous situations, gaining this time is enough to escape.

As Khadgar approached, the huge Deathfrost Hellfire did not move at all. He stood quietly like a statue. The mage carefully kept a certain distance, bypassed him, and entered the dark hall among.

"Finally came in? Look, I said that those demons have very poor perception." Isaacs had already been waiting here, and he said in an extremely relaxed tone.

The corner of the mage's mouth twitched, "Do you think my IQ is similar to that of an ogre? Could it be that I don't know the true effect of my invisibility? But what method did you use? Not only are those demons unable to perceive our existence, but Even I can barely feel a strange fluctuation that is almost imperceptible!"

"It's just the effect of a strange magic item." Isaacs said perfunctorily. He didn't want to reveal his extra dragon identity out of thin air, so he quickly shifted the topic to the present, "Look, this temple is actually not the original one." The place of the devil,"

Khadgar followed his gaze. The interior of the Dark Temple was dark, only some blue-purple ghost fires illuminated it. The defense here is naturally extremely strict, but those who are fully armed and patrolling back and forth are not demons, but It is a group of pale-skinned, stooped monsters.

"The Broken...are the Greymaw tribe!" Khadgar's face suddenly became serious, and his voice became deep.

"Yes, it seems that the temple has changed hands, and there must have been no violent fights, otherwise we couldn't have been unaware." Isaacs added leisurely.

"This place feels very special to me. There must be something evil hidden in the deepest part." Khadgar's face became serious, "This is probably the key to all these changes."

Isaacs nodded, he also felt it, and even the ancient god larva on his left arm, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly had a little riot, but this was not because of the evil presence that Khadgar felt, but Because of a force field emanating from the Dark Temple as a whole—as if the entire building was soaked in shadow.

This made Isaacs feel a little uncomfortable.

"It seems that we have to continue to go deeper. Since your 'magic item' can blind the giant hellfire at the door, it is impossible for these Gray Throat Breakers to find us, right?" the mage asked Isaacs .

Everyone has their own secrets. Since Isaacs is unwilling to explain where his concealment ability comes from, no matter how strong Khadgar's curiosity is, he will not force Isaacs to explain it, no matter what it is Ability, in the current situation, it is natural that the ideal effect can be exerted.

"Of course." Isaacs gave an affirmative answer.

"That's fine," Khadgar nodded. He knew that with Isaacs' strength, he could actually kill all the Greythroat Deathsworn here, but there was no need to startle the enemy. Sneaking in and launching a fatal blow would not give the enemy any damage. Reaction time.

No matter how strong the strength is, there must always be some tactics.
