Chapter 420 It starts again
Mayor Bonn was no longer human, slowly rising like a small mountain, followed by several smaller faceless beings... These ancient god servants from the void existed between reality and illusion, seemingly tangible but actually intangible.
What is their true nature?
Those are just void shadow matter originating from another dimension... It's not accurate to call them living beings... They're more like spirits, dark matter.
The opposite of light...
Or rather, it is a kind of remains or impurity born from the ashes and shadows after the loss of the light of life.
The Holy Light Legion has studied this for many years and has come to the conclusion that, like their origins, they are unknowable... They simply conclude that the Void is evil, dangerous, and harmful to life... for no reason other than because it devours life.
If we follow this logic, aren't humans just a kind of creation made of nothingness?
All living things that need to eat, which one doesn't nourish itself by consuming the life energy or matter of other beings...?
Twilight believers worship emptiness to the core...
The ancient gods told their followers that everything was an illusion...
The self-proclaimed holy light of justice is actually the true force driving everything to destruction...
Regardless of what others did, after receiving countless blessings from the Old Gods, Mayor Bourne numbed himself, forcing himself to believe that everything on this tragic planet Azeroth would eventually be destroyed.
When he was forced to accept the transformation of the ancient gods, becoming a hybrid neither human nor demon, nothing mattered...
Mayor Bourne's conviction was strengthened after the death of his nephew, the fool Syed.
Even the people of Hillsbrad, who once revered him as an emperor, did not hesitate to sacrifice these civilians who trusted him when the prophetic call came... draining their last drop of flesh and blood... as a sacrifice to the ancient god whom Born had never seen.
Most ordinary, low-level Twilight Cultists had only ever seen statues of the Faceless Ones... The strongest creature they had ever seen was Naglaroth, the Balrog, who had been accidentally summoned and escaped from the belly of Blackrock Mountain by the Dark Iron dwarves...
The fire elemental lord Balrog was merely a servant defeated by the Old Gods in ancient times...
To mortals, the Balrog is a mythical demon, a being they must worship. For Lorraine's teacher, the Balrog might possess something he needs; sooner or later, the master and apprentice will have to venture to Blackrock Mountain to explore and challenge it.
Is a tiny Faceless One really more terrifying than a mountain-sized Balrog or the Black Dragon King?
That's really hard to say... because every Faceless One is actually an incarnation of an Ancient God... like a virus, the Ancient God could evolve from a tiny incarnation into its true form at any time... as long as enough flesh and soul are sacrificed.
......
"what..."
"Help! Holy Light, please save your most devout warrior..."
"Run! Monsters...they are real monsters!"
The Crimson Warrior Herold pursued the Sword of Tranquility, Rayleigh, and his companions... They faintly heard screams and wails emanating from the bottom of the dungeon altar. The brave charged towards the Faceless Ones, the cowards stood still, and the wise, sensing the danger, secretly retreated behind the others, turning and walking away...
The Scarlet Crusade warriors charged into the dungeon with incredible speed and ferocity.
They're now fleeing upwards at incredible speed and with tremendous force.
On the other hand, Archmage Jordan and his group on the other side were still unaware of the horrifying scene below. They were focused on dealing with the necromancer Lorraine and his werewolf guards, as well as the powerful blood elf mage Terra.
Terra dominated Jordan.
Sweat beaded on Jordan's face; his magical abilities were clearly far inferior to those of the Battle Mage Terra.
Even though Terra was at her last gasp, she was still a true archmage, a mid-level officer in the Sunreavers' Temple with extensive combat experience and numerous magical artifacts... Jordan was more like a figurehead archmage, actually only slightly stronger than an average mid-level mage...
Jordan is skilled in various spells, including Fireball, though their power is average; he simply uses more conventional spells than the average Crimson Magician. He also possesses a unique divine ability, 'Holy Nova,' which can not only attack undead creatures but also heal nearby warriors, hence his title 'The Pure One,' the Crimson Judge.
Unfortunately, Jordan, hiding behind the Crimson Soldier, relentlessly unleashed his deadly moves, but they only tickled Lorraine...
At this moment, Lorraine erected a bone shield, using the remnant souls to condense a faint shadow void shield... He subconsciously released this soul skill, feeling that it was the talent skill that the Plague Seed had awakened after devouring many remnant souls.
Lorraine was unaware that the plague seed within her was competing with the faceless beings summoned by Born for food...
Both are secretly absorbing flesh and soul. The Faceless One absorbs flesh first and then devours the soul; the Plague Seed, on the other hand, mainly absorbs souls with special resentment, and after taking the soul, it turns around and controls the hatched flesh and blood body.
How can this be described? In short, the Void desires to feed on flesh and blood to nourish itself. Devouring souls is a secondary act; souls are superfluous creations. In the hands of the Old Gods, many pitiful spirits are left behind, wandering aimlessly.
The mastermind behind the Scourge army, the power of death, aims to reclaim high-quality souls, modify them, and then drive soulless byproducts. This results in the existence of hybrid, soulless monsters that exist only in physical form, such as abominations, aberrations, and ghouls.
Of course, gargoyles and skeletons are driven by another kind of force...
According to the Undead Research Society, the earliest gargoyles were the product of the troll sorcerer clan fusing bats and troll remnants, and the ancestors of the spider demons may have been created in the same way.
It is a combination of the offspring of a troll and a spider demigod...
However, Scholomance rejected the study's conclusions, arguing that how could the great celestial and terrestrial demons, or even the crypt lords, be linked to lowly trolls?
The Undead Research Society of Undercity says the answer lies in the rainforest at the southern tip of the Eastern Kingdoms. All you need to do is go to the troll cities in Zul'Gurub to find out that the priests under the sorcerer Jin'do there have long since mastered the earliest beast-transformation magic.
Lorraine vaguely remembered her teacher pointing out that although death, the void, shadows, and destruction all belonged to the lawful evil, they were not allies; in fact, they fought each other...
There are countless evil gods from other dimensions...
To the mortal races of Azeroth, these beings are as powerful as gods, but in reality, they are just special creatures from another world... Descending upon Azeroth through a void rift, these evil gods are powerful and terrifying; it can only be described as a legendary dimensional reduction attack.
The only question is...
Since the gods of the other world and the things that fall from the sky are so powerful...
So why is Lorraine's teacher so frail that he doesn't even have a physical form...?
The teacher responded by giving the middle finger...
"No one is born strong, no god is immortal. Gods exist because of people's faith... They themselves are not frightening. Lorraine, you must believe in yourself. You are your own most reliable and only trustworthy god... Your teacher is still waiting for you to save him. Have you forgotten the devilish mentor who saved you..."
