Chapter 21 Section 21

"But not immediately," Illidan reminded, "not immediately." "What does that matter?" The winged demon turned to face them, and the two fell silent.Mannoroth stretched out his hand to the captain of the guard and said sharply, "Give me the disk! It's time!" Varosen took the Demon Soul out of his belt pocket expressionlessly and handed it to him.Mannoroth carefully looked at the masterpiece of the black dragon in his hand, showing a greedy look, and then returned to normal.Mannoroth glared at the Highborne and Satyr, and shouted sharply, "Everyone take their places!"

The wreckage of crumbling houses and bone fragments littered the road as the mages traveled.Brutal killings took place in most of Azshaline, and the shores of the Well of Eternity were not spared.Illidan knew some daring night elves had made their home here, hoping to get closer to the water and better harness the power of the night elves' source of magic, the Well of Eternity.This wish was finally shattered, where the demons brutally tore them to pieces. From Illidan's point of view, the irony was that they had the right idea, but the implementation of the plan went terribly wrong.Now he saw countless ways to control the vast potential of the Well of Eternity, and he knew more than ever what the leader of the Burning Legion was up to.

The mage and satyr formed their formations according to Sargeras' instructions.Mannoroth carefully checked everyone's position and threatened those who stood in the wrong place.Finally, the scaled behemoth expressed satisfaction with the formation, and then withdrew from the team. "Dear Captain, can't we see our Lord Sargeras?" Azshara asked lazily on the sedan chair. "Not yet, the light of light... But it won't take long. When the passage here is stabilized, he will come to this world." With a veil covering her eyes, she nodded: "I hope you can notify me when he arrives."

"Everything will go on as usual," Varothen promised. Illidan wondered if the queen really thought she would be the consort of the demon leader herself.He suspected that Sargeras might not have planned this at all. He quickly put Azshara's desires behind him as he watched the mages cast their spells intently.A crackling blue fireball suddenly appeared in the mage's formation, and the fireball also released lightning from time to time.From time to time, tiny lightning strikes the mages in the formation, but regardless of whether it was the Highborne or the Satyrs who were hit, they still stood firm and did not retreat in the slightest.

There were bursts of voices chanting spells in my ears, and everyone's spells were a little different.Their spells came together and began to summon energy from the lake.Illidan saw that the summoned energies were as varied as the mage's, coming together with the entire sphere.As the energy of the lake water continuously gathers towards the sphere, the lightning shot out from the sphere becomes brighter and stronger... Soon, inside the sphere... that familiar opening appeared again. On the shore of the Well of Eternity, the wizards once again opened the portal to the lower plane occupied by the Burning Legion. Sargeras can take the opportunity to make full use of the energy of the Well of Eternity.Illidan suddenly felt the demon leader suddenly very close to them.

Throw the portal into the lake... Sargeras ordered, his voice echoing in everyone's head. "Hurry up!" Mannoroth roared, his figure approaching those mages and satyrs. Immediately, the mages stopped reciting the spell silently and clenched their fists. The sphere whized towards the violent water surface with the portal, and quickly disappeared from view. Now... that disc... At this moment, Illidan's heart was pounding.He really wanted to take away the masterpiece of the dragon from Mannoroth, but due to reason, he still had no expression on his face, and his hands were still on his sides.Now was not the time to take the soul of a dragon—or a demon soul, as his brother had been called.

Still need to wait patiently... As usual, Illidan quickly took the thought to heart.Fortunately for him, Sargeras was probably too focused on the matter at hand. Even when Illidan's consciousness was not protected by magic, the big devil didn't notice his treacherous thoughts. He watched intently as Mannoroth held the disk high in the air.The winged demon murmured words that died in the wind. At this time, green flames ignited around the golden disc."Devil's Soul" is really apt to call it, Illidan thought to himself.The disc rose from Mannoroth's palm... and flew like a sphere containing a portal onto the violently churning lake.

"Is that all right?" Azshara asked impatiently. Before Varosen had time to comfort her, the strong wind in the sky stopped suddenly.The storm in the lake seemed to have stopped, but the dark clouds in the sky were still churning violently, as if a thousand giant pythons were entangled together. Illidan was the first to sense what was about to happen. "Your Majesty, I suggest that you ask the bearers to retreat to the mountain." To prove he wasn't lying to her, Illidan turned and started walking back.The captain of the guard glared at him viciously, as if suspicious of his intentions, but soon ordered his soldiers to fall back too.

Seeing this scene, the queen waved her hand gracefully, and ordered the demon guards around her to follow quickly. Suddenly, a place in the center of the Well of Eternity uttered a sky-shattering roar, just like the roar of a thousand night sabers.Illidan glanced back at the black water, and couldn't help but speed up. The mage and satyr frantically fled in fright. Their mission has been completed, and they don't need to be so close to the shore anymore.Only Mannoroth remained there, and the demon opened his arms again, as if embracing his lover. "It's begun!" he cried ecstatically, "It's begun!"

A huge wave the size of a wyvern came, submerging the place where the demon stood. The tide is raging and has the power to destroy the dead, and in a blink of an eye the entire lakeshore has disappeared under the relentless tide.The tidal water rushing to the shore did not flow back to the center of the lake, but continued to rush outward.The ruins on the shore were swept away by the lake water and washed away.Terrifying waves constantly crashed against the land, sweeping away everything on it.The stone tablet on the ground was cut off by the big waves, and rushed everywhere.The unburied corpses on the ground were carried by the tide to deeper, darker places beyond Azshaline, and Illidan knew they would find no resting place.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Illidan finally saw the real scene at the Well of Eternity. Standing there, he was stunned to see that Sargeras in the distance could cast magic so easily. At this time, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake. He couldn't see the whole of the vortex, but the vortex began to extend from the shore to all directions, and the size of the vortex was evident.For the first time, Illidan saw the violent energy of the Well of Eternity churning in a uniform order... All the energy was sucked towards the center of the lake. Overwhelmed by the power, Mannoroth, standing on the edge of the Well of Eternity, burst out laughing.The ferocious waves continued to sweep away boulders larger than demons from the ground, but did not hurt the winged Mannoroth at all.Mannoroth, reveling in the glory of accepting his master's power, roared for Sargeras to speed up. Standing in a safe place on the shore, Illidan began to explore the depths of this magic with his consciousness.His developed senses made him almost seem to be floating on the water himself, and he moved so fast that he quickly left the land behind.At the same time, Illidan's consciousness rose into the sky, and he looked down on Sargeras' feat from a height. He once judged that this vortex would swallow the entire Well of Eternity, and the facts proved that his perception was completely correct.Although he could only see a small part of the vortex, he knew in his heart that the entire Well of Eternity must be involved. Suddenly, a faint light ahead caught his attention.Extending his thoughts towards the light source, Illidan found that the demon soul was floating high in the sky at this moment.A golden light shot from the disc, illuminating the waters below.Illidan knew the Demon's Soul very well, and he knew that Sargeras could use it as well as the black dragon, or even better than the black dragon.Even in the far lower planes, the Legion Marshal combined the incredible power of the Disc with the berserk power of the Well of Eternity. But where did the portal go?Illidan tried several times, but couldn't feel it around the Demon Soul.Where did Sargeras put it- It was useless to scold him a few words, Illidan looked down towards the center of the maelstrom. Keep looking down...seeing a passage beyond the real world, leading to the territory of the Burning Legion. Illidan thought that the large forces of the Burning Legion had come to Kalimdor, but he realized at this moment that the demons here were just the tip of the iceberg.In that unknown world, countless soldiers were waiting there, and there were ferocious demons with blue faces and fangs eager to destroy everything.As far as the eye can see, the demon's team stretches endlessly without end, and there are still some hideous demons in the team who have not yet set foot on the land of Kalimdor.Some of these strange demons had wings, and some crawled forward, but no matter what they looked like, they had the same strong desire to kill as the demons Illidan encountered. And then... Illidan felt the demon leader himself.He only felt a small part of Sargeras's body, but it was enough to make the night elf flee after taking one look.Only then did Illidan realize that the will of Sargeras he felt at first was only a small part of his true self.The entity of the leader of the Burning Legion existed in that distorted space, and the protective shield could not prevent the demon from seeing clearly what was going on in Illidan's mind.
