Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis.

Rhodes knew this was a test from the Queen, so he didn't refuse and followed Savis to the training ground outside the palace. Dozens of high elf mages rushed over upon hearing the news and erected an arcane barrier around the area to prevent the violent energy from leaking out and harming the Queen's city.

Most of the high elf mages who set up the barrier had been in contact with Rhodes recently and were very curious about his amazing magic. No one expected that Rhodes would actually fight with Xavius ​​today.

Savis held a staff with a purple gem at the top. He did not rush to attack, but first bowed slightly, performing the greeting of a high elf mage. However, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised. Ever since he learned of Rozer's existence from Queen Azshara, he had been looking down on him.

Her Majesty the Queen actually claimed that his strength was equal to or even surpassed his own, and even slandered the great true god. This was unacceptable to him, as the power of that true god was beyond the comprehension of mortals.

"Stranger, you can make the first move, lest you accuse me of bullying a guest."

Rhodes stood with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, and said with a mocking tone, "Lord Savas, I am moved by your 'generosity,' but I am worried that if I make the first move, you may not even have the chance to show off your... newly learned power from your master."

"Arrogant!" Savis's face darkened. Without another word, he slammed his staff on the ground, and his arcane energy instantly surged. Dozens of purple arcane missiles shot towards Rhodes like a swarm of bees, their trajectories treacherous, sealing off all escape routes.

Faced with this fierce attack, Rhodes didn't even move his feet, but simply raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

"Sacred Crystal Wall".

A massive golden protective barrier, formed from pure holy light, instantly appeared before him. The arcane missile struck the barrier but did not explode. Instead, it seemed to sink into viscous golden amber, its speed decreasing drastically. Then, it reflected back along its original path at an even faster speed!

This move was inspired by the Crystal Wall of Aries from the Saint Seiya anime that Rhodes had watched before his transmigration. It can block enemy attacks and also reflect them. As long as the opponent is not as strong as him, the attack will be reflected. If the opponent is of the same level as him, there is no need to use this move.

"What!" Savis exclaimed in surprise. He quickly waved his staff, creating an arcane shield in front of him to deflect the reflected missile, looking somewhat disheveled.

He hadn't expected Rhodes's use of holy light to be so exquisite, possessing such a strong "order" characteristic that it could deflect disordered arcane energy.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert? Is this all you've got? If so, I'm truly disappointed." Rhodes stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Savas with a mocking expression.

"Don't get too cocky, stranger. Let me show you my magic!" Savis roared, casting his spell once more.

This time, Xavius ​​used Flame Storm, but it was still reflected by Rhode's Holy Crystal Wall. Next, Xavius ​​cast Blizzard, Arcane Comet, and Arcane Energy Blast. The mage's various skills could not break through Rhode's defense at all, and he was even damaged by his own spells. Rhode only used one move from beginning to end.

He even yawned and beckoned to Savis with his finger, his expression seeming to say, "Come and hit me."

Queen Azshara, seated atop the high platform, held a glass of wine and watched the battle between the two with great interest. It seemed that Xavius ​​was currently at a disadvantage.

This Holy Light protective barrier is truly amazing; it can provide perfect defense and also create a counterattack. This power called Holy Light is truly magical.

"Outsider, don't get too cocky. I'll show you the power the true god has bestowed upon me." Savis sneered, deciding to get serious.

He muttered incantations, and the gem at the top of his staff suddenly glowed with a ghostly green fel energy—this was the fel energy power and fel magic he had learned from his conversation with Sargeras.

Being forced into this state by the opponent with just one move made the archmage lose face, so he directly used his ultimate move.

"Fire Rain of Evil Energy!"

Above the training ground, dark green clouds appeared out of thin air, and fel fireballs carrying a corrosive aura poured down like a torrential rain, covering the entire area. This was no longer pure arcane magic, but a fel power mixed with destruction and chaos, possessing an extremely corrosive effect on life and order.

The high elves watching let out a low gasp. They could feel the strangeness and power of this force, and at the same time they were a little confused. When did Master Savis master this kind of magic that they had never seen before?

"So you finally couldn't resist using your master's power?" Rhodes laughed loudly. Facing the raging evil flames, he not only did not retreat, but instead took a step forward.

I do miss it a bit, but you think this level of fel magic can deal with me? You underestimate me!

After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Rhodes secretly learned a few tricks from Archimonde, including the upgraded version of Fel Rain of Fire, Chaos Rain, which can summon Hellfire. However, he doesn't plan to use Fel magic for the time being, and will use Holy Light to deal with him instead! Anyway, Holy Light has a good counter to Fel magic.

“Savis, today I will make an exception and show you what true power is.”

A powerful golden beam of light shot into the sky from Rhodes' center, directly dispersing part of the fel energy cloud.

Immediately afterwards, light gathered and shaped behind him, and a giant phantom, thirty meters tall, with huge wings on its back and made of pure holy light, suddenly appeared!

This giant of holy light, like an incarnation of Rhodes, exuded a terrifying aura.

The rain of fel energy slammed into the giant of light, making a sizzling, corrosive sound, but it could not penetrate the solidified light. Instead, it was constantly purified and dissipated.

The 30-meter-tall Holy Light Giant shocked all the elves present, and even Queen Azshara was deeply moved, suddenly standing up from her seat with a look of astonishment on her face.

This Holy Light Giant is so cool! Its magnificent golden body, paired with the wings on its back, is simply perfect.

The golden giant in front of me is exactly the kind of aesthetic that night elf nobles would have, and using it in battle is just so cool, isn't it?

Combining power and magnificence, Queen Azshara even began to fantasize about using magical energy to create such a giant to fight.

Unlike Her Majesty the Queen, the other mages were also studying Rhodes's Holy Light Giant.

"Completely enveloping oneself in it creates excellent defense and allows one to control giants; this spell is quite remarkable."

"Yes, his utilization of holy light energy is far greater than we imagined."

"However, the energy consumed to create such a colossal giant is also terrifying."

The Highborne mages began to analyze what made the holy giant that Rhode had conjured so extraordinary, and they all expressed their opinions.

"Defense alone won't win against me! Watch me shatter this giant of yours!" Savis roared, his hands forming a massive green blade of fel energy. He then wielded the blade and slashed at the giant of light.

How could that be? I will never lose. The powerful spells that Lord Sargeras taught me, and the fel energy he personally bestowed upon me, will never be defeated by this golden thing.

"Who said I only know how to defend? Since you want to attack, then I'll show you. Don't blink, because this is something you'll never imagine in your life." Rhodes' eyes narrowed, and the Giant of Light moved accordingly.

With its enormous arms outstretched, countless golden ripples instantly spread across the air behind it—hundreds upon hundreds of weapons formed from holy light emerged: longswords, warhammers, spears, bows and arrows, staves… each with its own unique shape, yet all radiating a blazing, holy aura.

"Go! Accept the judgment of the Holy Light." Rhodes pointed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

The golden weapons of light, like an army receiving a command, transformed into streaks of light, raining down on Savis and the fel-powered warblade. The scene was incredibly magnificent, like a divine rain of arrows, but all of them were various kinds of golden weapons.

The golden giant launched such a magnificent attack, making the scene even more shocking and full of special effects. The ordinary night elf civilians outside the city were also amazed when they saw this scene. Everyone thought that this was a new spell developed by the Queen.

"What a beautiful golden giant!"

"It's so cool and gorgeous! Is this Her Majesty the Queen's masterpiece?"

"It must be Her Majesty the Queen's masterpiece. Only the Light of Light can control such a powerful giant."

Countless night elf commoners began to discuss, all praising the great Light of Light. Although the night elf commoners despised the nobles, they had a deep-seated love for Queen Aishara. Both commoners and nobles loved the queen.

Savis hurriedly manipulated his fel-powered blade to parry, simultaneously erecting a fel-powered shield. The weapon of light clashed violently with the fel energy, producing a series of explosions. Green and golden light intertwined, illuminating the interior of the barrier in a bizarre and surreal way. With each collision, the fel energy dissipated a little under the purification of holy light, and Savis's shield fluctuated violently, appearing on the verge of collapse.

In fact, with Rhodes' current strength, if he wanted to kill, he could kill Xavius ​​in one move, even if Xavius ​​possessed the fel power bestowed upon him by Sargeras.

But if it's going to be a fight, it needs to be a spectacular scene. After all, this battle isn't a real life-or-death struggle, but rather an exhibition match.

The most important thing is to please the queen above, so I'm sorry to trouble you a little longer, Savas. Just hold on a little longer, and I'll unleash two more spectacular skills before you lie down.

"Your fel energy is utterly insignificant before the true Holy Light!" Rhodes' voice came clearly through the explosion.

Xavius ​​was both shocked and enraged to find that his prized fel power was completely suppressed. He attempted to launch a mental attack, using the whispers taught to him by Sargeras to corrupt Rhodes' mind.

"You wretched creature! I'll make you pay! I'll show you the true power Lord Sargeras bestowed upon me! I'll devour your soul and roast it in the flames of hell!" A strange green light flickered in his eyes as he looked at Rhodes.

However, what greeted him was Rhodes' eyes, which had turned pure gold, with three golden tomoe appearing in them, gradually forming a triangular windmill. If he was going to cast an illusion, he had to have these eyes to look cool.

Although it was just an illusion, and it wouldn't matter whether it was there or not, it was just to add some mystery to himself, so Rhodes also gave his eyes a special effect.

"Holy Light Illusion - Tsukuyomi!"

Savis felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him instantly changed. He was no longer standing in the training ground, but in a boundless sea of ​​golden light. Countless figures of Rhodes, radiating divine pressure, rose from the sea of ​​light, all staring at him. Grand hymns echoed in his ears, bringing not peace, but immense pressure as if his soul was being judged and purified.

"No! This is an illusion! Break free!" Savis frantically channeled his demonic energy, trying to break free of this mental prison, but he felt as if his consciousness was sinking into a quagmire, the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

Soon, Savis was surprised to find himself seemingly split into countless individuals, and then bound to a cross.

Rhodes stood before him, holding a golden longsword.

"What are you going to do? You bastard, what are you going to do to me? Damn it!" Savis struggled frantically. He knew he seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

“A futile struggle. Let me tell you the truth, the most powerful force of the Holy Light is not attack, nor defense, nor healing, but illusion. You will be staying here for the next 72 hours, so let’s have some fun,” Rhodes said with a smile.

I never realized it before, but now I realize that the most useful aspect of Holy Light is its illusionary abilities. When Naru uses Holy Light illusions, they are incredibly effective and have fooled countless people. But don't you know how to explore its potential further?

Seriously, let me teach you how to use illusion magic.

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, he raised the golden greatsword in his hand and plunged it into Savis's body.

"Ahhh!" Savis let out a shrill scream, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Strangely, although the sword pierced his body and he could feel the burning pain, he did not bleed. Yes, this was an illusion, and he would not die.

"You bastard, if you have the guts, kill me! Do you dare kill me here?"

"Don't rush me, Savis has 71 hours and 59 minutes left. I'll stab you every minute." After saying that, Rhodes stabbed Savis again.

This pain was not singular; countless clones of Savis would suffer the same injury. Within the golden illusion space, Savis let out a shrill scream.

He now felt that time was incredibly long. In the illusion, he was surrounded by countless golden Rhodes figures and bound to a cross burning with holy flames.

Each time, Rhodes, wielding a longsword forged in light, pierced his "body" with precision and ruthlessness—not simply physical damage, but the direct burning and purification of the fel soul's essence by holy light.

The pain far exceeded the limits of physical endurance; it was a tearing and screaming originating from the level of the soul.

He tried to shout, but his voice was drowned out by the grand hymn; he tried to struggle, but his consciousness was like sinking into the thickest golden swamp, and the more he resisted, the deeper the "purifying" power of the holy light penetrated into the core of his soul.

He was subjected to the torment of trial, his inner darkness and ambition, born from his contact with Sargeras, exposed to the spotless light.

"No—! Let me out! Lord Sargeras... Help... Help me!" Xavius's mental defenses collapsed completely after countless cycles of torment. The arrogance of fel energy was crushed by the majesty of the holy light, leaving only the most primal fear.

In reality, Savis stood frozen in place, his eyes wide open, his face pale and his body trembling slightly. The outside world had no idea what had happened.

The 72 hours in the illusion space had a fatal effect on Savis. When Savis's consciousness returned to reality, he felt a splitting headache and collapsed to his knees, swaying unsteadily.

"It seems your spirit is far less resilient than your ambition." Rhodes's cold voice pulled him back to reality.

Savas lay on the ground, panting heavily. He gritted his teeth and tried to lift his head to look at Rhodes, but his eyelids were incredibly heavy.

"You, you, I hate you, you, you deserve to die a horrible death." Savis gritted his teeth and used all his strength to say these words before lying motionless on the ground.

His spirit was almost completely destroyed by Rhodes. The fact that he could remain sober after leaving the illusion space and utter a harsh word was his last act of defiance.

"What on earth happened? How did Savis lose? They lost for no reason."

“Strange, Mr. Rhodes’ eyes just turned gold, and there were several golden tomoe inside.”

"Savis seemed to make eye contact with him, and then he knelt on the ground and fainted."

The mages on the high platform were discussing among themselves, but Queen Azshara glanced at Rhodes thoughtfully. As one of the top mages in Azeroth, her mental power was extremely strong.

Azshara could sense that Savis's spirit had been greatly weakened, and his consciousness was even on the verge of collapse. What exactly did this kid do?

"Your Majesty, it seems the battle is over." Rhodes smiled at Azshara on the platform after withdrawing the Holy Light Giant.
