Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 188 Ishkanis

Near the ruins of the magic network, there are still a large number of ruins of elven palaces.

During the War of the Ancients, this place was occupied by demons. After the war, blue dragons came here, built the magic network, and reorganized the chaotic magical energy of the Broken Isles. After tens of thousands of years of development, the magical energy in the magic network has reached an incredible level.

The withered mages only destroyed one magic network, and the Zahnal Valley was polluted by arcane energy. The violent magical energy turned this place into a purple arcane energy river, so that the withered mages no longer had to worry about arcane energy. When they were free, the withered mages would gather here, hoping to use the comfort of arcane energy.

In front of the ruins of an elven palace west of Zahnal, a magic network crystal is still working. This is left by the withered to provide Zahnal with arcane energy.

Although Zahnal has a lot of energy, it will definitely decrease if it is not replenished. If this magic network crystal keeps working, arcane energy will continue to flow out from the gap and replenish Zahnal.

A blue dragon descended from the sky, and after it landed, a human jumped off its back.

Jack came to the huge purple crystal, "Is this the magic web crystal?"

Stellagosa changed into her elf form, "Yes."

He collected the crystals and said, "The Withered should have noticed the situation here. Let's go!"

Jack nodded, and Stellagosa immediately changed back into dragon form, ready to carry Jack away.

But at this moment, a huge magic net fell from the sky and trapped the two people on the ground.

"what?"

As the two were panicking, they saw a group of withered mages rushing out and surrounding them.

Stellagosa took a deep breath and suddenly exhaled a breath of dragon. The withered magicians cast mana shields to offset the damage of the dragon's breath.

Jack also suddenly pulled out his two guns and started the barrage of attacks.

The withered mages had not anticipated this and were caught off guard. A large number of them fell, suffering heavy losses.

At this moment, a withered magician appeared behind Jack. He suddenly cast a magic rope and tied Jack up.

Jack struggled hard, but he couldn't break free from the magic ropes.

Stellagosa whirled around, trying to rescue Jack.

But the withered mages were well prepared, and countless magic ropes were thrown over, binding Stellagosa tightly. Especially around her mouth, there were dozens of magic ropes wrapped around her, making it impossible for her to open her mouth.

At this time, Runas appeared. He walked to the withered magician who controlled Jack and said, "Ishkanes, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Jack turned slowly and looked at Ishkaneth.

This withered mage didn't look any different, and no one knew how they could tell him apart.

He used his limited mana to mark Ishkaneth so that he would not lose it.

Then he winked at Runas, telling him to leave quickly.

Runas received his gaze, but did not intend to leave. If Jack's plan did not work, he could still sneak attack Ishkanes and rescue Stellagosa.

Jack looked at Runas speechlessly, why didn't you obey orders?
Runas didn't even look at Jack, but started chatting with Ishkanes.

Ishkanes was very satisfied with Runas's intelligence. "Runas, you have done a great job this time. I know you value magical energy very much. When we seize the entire magic network, I will let you master a part of it so that you can conduct your own experiments."

"Thank you for your generosity, Ishkanais." Runas pointed at the two men. "What are you going to do with them?"

Ishkanes smiled and said, “Take them back first, and then dig out the secret from them.”

The withered began to cast spells, trying to get Stellagosa away.

Jack winked at Runas again, but Runas still pretended not to see it.

He said to Ishkanes, "Perhaps you can let me handle this matter. I will definitely help you dig out the secret." Jack was speechless. He knew that he couldn't let the withered mages leave here. This was the battlefield he had planned. If they left, all his arrangements would be in vain, and it would also endanger the safety of the two.

With not much time left until two hours, Jack decided to take the initiative.

"You ugly bastards, kill me if you dare."

"You want to die?" Runas sneered and said, "It's not an easy thing to do, but as long as you tell me all the secrets, I may be able to help you."

Ishkanes smiled and said, "Don't scare him. What if you scare him so much that he forgets?"

Jack sighed. Are you taking your undercover role too seriously?

After looking at the distance between Runas and himself, Jack said, "Come here, I'll tell you quietly."

Runas glanced at Ishkanais, who motioned to him. Runas leaned over and said, "Go ahead!"

Jack watched Runas approaching and prepared himself mentally.

When he was only two yards away, Jack shouted, "Fire!"

The withered mages were all stunned. What do you mean by opening fire?
Runas was also stunned and looked at Jack in confusion.

Jack roared, "What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly!"

Runas suddenly realized and rushed towards Jack.

Ishkanas was immediately furious, "Lunas, you traitor..."

"Shhhhh-"

"Boom boom boom——"

Dozens of shells whistled down from the sky and landed among the withered mages, blowing them to pieces.

Ishkaneth and the withered could no longer control the magic ropes, and Jack and Stellagosa escaped. Stellagosa immediately raised a magic shield to cover the two.

Jack pulled Runas over, pressed him against Stellagosa, and shouted angrily, "Why didn't you listen to me?"

Runas looked at the shells that kept exploding around him and said hesitantly, "I didn't know you could do this... I was still thinking about saving you..."

Jack angrily let go of Runas, "If you do it again, I'll give you a taste of the cannonball."

Runas quickly assured, "It won't happen again."

Seeing Runas give in, Stellagosa said, "Jack, Ishkanes seems to be trying to run away."

"He can't run away!"

Jack looked at Ishkanes' back and instantly calculated the distance. He drew out his blazing sword and threw it at Ishkanes. Then he drew out his double guns and kept firing into the sky.

Runas asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"Watch carefully!"

Runas could only look up at the sky, and saw countless bullets falling from the sky, attacking Ishkanas. Ishkanas immediately held up a mana shield, but under countless bullets, the mana shield soon collapsed.

However, Ishkanes did not fall to the bullets. Just when he thought he could escape, a flame pierced his body.

"what is this?"
