Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 300, Section 57: The Red Dragon Queen Almost Suffered a Tragic End.
"This godforsaken place is freezing!"

This was the first assessment made by the "great traveler" Lyran after arriving in Dun Morogh.

Having wandered the sea of ​​stars with her people for many years, she had seen all sorts of scenery. However, after settling down in Draenor, she had adapted to the environment there. Although Draenor also had snowfields at extremely high altitudes like Frostfire Ridge, there was still exposed lava in those places, so the temperature was not unbearably low.

However, Dun Morogh, where the Bronzebeard dwarves live, is a typical snow-covered mountain and icy valley landscape.

With temperatures consistently below -10 degrees Celsius, and sometimes even dropping to tens of degrees below zero, it's difficult for humans to adapt to this environment for long. As a result, the vast Khaz Modan region has become the territory of the dwarves. To be honest, only the thick-skinned dwarves can survive in this harsh environment for long.

What?
You mean dwarfs are acceptable?
That's obvious. Although dwarves are known for their small size and poor physique, they have brilliant minds. The dwarf city of Gnomeregan is built into the earth's crust and uses geothermal energy directly.

Environmental factors are really not a big problem for dwarfs, a race that puts all their talents into their brains.

If dwarfs weren't so few in number and had no interest in anything other than "research and development," they would have long ago conquered the world in their gyroplanes and fully automated spider tanks.

"I told you to dress properly. Do you really think Draenei are immune to all diseases? You should know that Dun Morogh's climate is already quite warm compared to Winterspring in Kalimdor and the frigid winds of Northrend."

The blue dragon Tarecgosa sighed and took out one of her spare bearskin cloaks, tossing it to Lyran, who was shivering from the cold, and told her to put it on.

But returning to the frigid zone made the Great Dragon herself quite comfortable. Blue dragons are naturally fond of this cold climate, and after undergoing plastic surgery with "Dick Tony," she loved the biting cold even more.

Like Onyxia's human form, Teregosa's human form also underwent some changes after the plastic surgery.

Although she still has the "white-boned elf" figure of a high elf, her outer garment has transformed from a robe into a light winter armor. The magnificent armor is covered with a layer of activated frost, making her look very much like "Winter Queen Letegh".

"Hurry up!"

Onyxia disliked this cold, gloomy place.

Black dragons love the underground world surrounded by lava. Although they have thick skin and flesh, that doesn't stop them from hating the cold. She and Teregosa inexplicably formed a "fire and ice" combination.

"Hey, don't fight. We're all here on a mission."

The third dragon, Melinsera, stepped in to calm Onyxia's rage. She also received Tony's Void Reshaping technique, and now her raised fingertips and the rugged dragon horns on her head are covered with a layer of dancing electric sparks, making her look extremely cool.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and find the dwarves to do diplomacy. I bet we'll encounter a lot of interesting things worth recording in Ironforge."

Lyran raised his crystal staff to send his group to the vicinity of Ironforge, a dwarven city faintly visible in the distant snow-capped mountains, but before he could cast the spell, he was stopped by the bewildered Teregosa.

"Something's wrong!"

The great blue dragon mother stared at the area further north of the snow-capped mountains, sensing the rhythm of the surrounding magical net, and said loudly:

"There's a large number of blue dragons gathering over there! At least fifteen of them, and the magical vortexes they're creating are like some kind of battle. But that direction is..."

"Oh no, it's the Crimson Sanctuary! The place where the red dragons incubate their eggs!"

Mylinsera exclaimed:
"Could it be that the red dragon is in danger and the blue dragons went to help? But the red dragon legion is currently the most powerful of the guardian dragons. What force could possibly threaten them?"

"What else could it be? Have you forgotten what happened to the Green Dragon Legion?"

Onyxia felt a surge of joy at the prospect of fighting. She clenched her ferocious fists and said:
"At this moment, what could possibly make a mighty dragon feel threatened and cause such a commotion? It's the evil artifact controlled by the Greenskins, isn't it? Ha, the dragon soul from my father, but the pathetic Greenskins have no idea how to use that treasure."

go!
Let's take it!

The Star Soul Lord longs to see his children repent and return to the right path. We have an obligation to 'help' the other guardian dragons escape the Titans' shameless lie. The dragons are innocent; they have simply been manipulated by evil people.

The dragons' hearts are pure; they only want to serve the world.

"That's not something a black dragon like you can say."

Tyregorza snorted, turned around, and took out her robes, staff, and various ornaments from her dragon's treasure, handing them to Lyran, saying:

"The three of us are going over there. You go to Ironforge by yourself, and be careful."

"Don't be silly! Miss Lyran's Titan-forged runes are a 'deadly weapon'. Anyone who dares to mess with her can expect to be blown up by the raging arcane monsters. Her safety is absolutely guaranteed in the mortal world."

Onyxia rushed down the snowy mountain, leaped with faith, and with a deep hiss, transformed into the ferocious form of the "Nergigante," flapping her spiked wings and soaring into the sky.

Teregosa followed closely behind. Her transformation into a dragon caused the temperature on the snowy mountain to drop several degrees. The icy wind nearly froze Lyran to death. Fortunately, the green dragon princess Mylinsera was the most righteous. Seeing Lyran's predicament, she waved her hand and summoned healing power to surround her with a warm glow.

Then Mylinsera smiled at Lyran, transformed into a new dragon, flapped her lightning-covered green wings, and soared into the sky.

Her "new green dragon" form was somewhat misnamed, with only her huge wings being green. Most of her body was covered in black, ferocious dragon scales, with white scales interwoven on her abdomen. But the most striking features were her golden, lightning-shaped dragon horns and the powerful black tendons covering her huge green wings, which made Merlinsera's exaggerated dragon wings stand out from other dragons.

The noise she makes when she takes off is the loudest.

As it soared into the sky, it was covered by a large amount of thunderclouds, shrouding most of Dun Morogh in a state of dark clouds, with blinding lightning flashing through the rolling black clouds.

Although the Vigilant preserved the powerful healing and natural aura of the green dragons for her, the lightning enhancement brought by "war specialization" transformed the originally unskilled green dragon princess into a formidable character who could rival Onyxia.

"Sigh, you all should have kept a low profile! Such a grand entrance has alarmed the dwarves, how am I supposed to handle my diplomatic work now?"

While complaining, Lyran accepted the items given to him by the blue dragon, then waved his staff to teleport himself to Ironforge.

As soon as she landed, she saw a group of burly mountain rangers in green cloaks riding goats with horns, heading towards the hillside where the strange phenomenon had occurred. Seeing that the dwarves were also riding goats made Lyran feel a sense of familiarity and comfort.

The skilled traveler whistled, summoning her magnificent tabbuck sheep, which strode forward and addressed the dwarfs riding the goats, who were only up to her waist:

“I come on behalf of the Salvation Army of Azeroth to speak with your king. I have a letter of introduction from your prince, Muradin Bronzebeard. Don’t worry about the changes on the snow mountain; they are just traces left by a few ‘friends.’”

Upon hearing Lyran's self-introduction, the leading dwarf hunter, Greif, tilted his head back, and after a moment, sighed:
"Don't you all know how to send an envoy who isn't so ridiculously short? Damn it, I can feel your malice."

------

The Crimson Sanctuary, where the red dragons incubate their eggs.

It is located in the northeast of Khaz Modan, adjacent to the wetlands, on the edge of a whole highland currently controlled by the Wildhammer dwarves, hidden among the mountains, not far from Grim Batol, the former city of the Wildhammer dwarves.

However, this place is indeed sparsely populated.

The red dragons, as the most prosperous branch of dragons in Azeroth, have created some magic here to prevent outsiders from accidentally entering. The main reason is that the dragon eggs must be properly protected. Therefore, the gentle red dragons never show mercy to outsiders who dare to trespass into this cursed place.

But now, the Crimson Shelter is in complete chaos.

A rift in the dream opened here, and everywhere there were Shadow Council warlocks driving demons to frantically move those huge dragon eggs. However, they were not the main force of invasion. The real trouble was the demons!
An elite vanguard of demons has already stormed into the Crimson Sanctuary through this rift, led by a formidable abyssal lord, a great demon.

The biggest difference between that guy and other abyss lords is that its huge bat wings on its back were torn apart by some force, leaving only two hideous scars. Moreover, unlike other abyss lords who use long-handled magic blades, this guy's hands were severed and he was wearing a terrifying destructive giant blade and a tearing battle knife.

It led the demons in rampages through the Crimson Sanctuary, and several red dragons had already been felled and killed. At this moment, the prince of the red dragons, the mighty Kelstralz, was fighting this dangerous great demon, covering his people as they escorted the dragon eggs to safety.

In addition, there are some demonic dragons high in the sky, constantly fighting with the red and blue dragons in the air, covering the demons' actions on the ground.

The once-beautiful Crimson Sanctuary has been reduced to a devastating battlefield by the constant barrage of hellfire summoned by the demon warlocks. To make matters worse, the Red Dragon Queen is also here!
As the most powerful being in Azeroth, Lady Alexstrasza should have burned these demons to death with the most merciless flames, but she was "controlled" as soon as she appeared.

"Don't struggle! Mighty Dragon King, you won't feel pain if you don't struggle!"

Zul'hild laughed and held the Dragon Soul high, using the evil artifact that constantly drained the power of protection to restrain the Red Dragon Queen.

This wasn't the first time he'd used this thing against the Dragon King; his previous experience with Ysera the Sleeper had taught the archmage how to wield it.

"Quickly! Children! Get out of here!"

The Red Dragon Queen is in great pain.

Despite her immense power, she was bound by the dragon's soul and could only lie weakly and humiliatingly in the center of the battlefield, passively enduring the burning of meteorites and evil fire.

But her worry wasn't for herself; it was for the red dragons relentlessly charging the demonic stronghold for her sake. The moment Alexstrasza saw the Dragon Soul appear, she knew it was a vicious trap. The demons' goal today wasn't just to steal the dragon eggs; they wanted to annihilate the red dragonflight!
He himself was the "bait" that forced the red dragons to launch repeated suicide attacks, while the powerful abyss lord "Brutallus the Ripper" was the executioner sent by the Burning Legion to execute the guardian dragons.

"Pah! You weak little brat!"

Brutallus charged wildly like a mammoth, unleashing a savage meteor strike with its destructive blade during the battle with the Red Dragon Prince. The falling meteors pounded into Kelstrax's body like heavy punches, while its boundless brute force tore through the Red Dragon Prince's scales.

Just as the brave red dragon prince was about to be killed, a fierce blue dragon shot out from the sky.

Malygossa, the most warlike female dragon in the Blue Dragonflight, unleashed a freezing breath from the sky, freezing a large number of demons, including pit lords, into ice. She hovered in the air and shouted:

"Karen, take off! You are no match for it, your power is dwindling! Quickly, take your people and evacuate the holy land. The demons are prepared, we will cover you."

The red dragon prince, his wings torn, struggled to take off and hover in the air. He couldn't bring himself to do it when he saw his suffering mother.

That damned greenskin warlock was still torturing the queen, making her scream incessantly. These cries fueled the rage in the hearts of every red dragon, driving them to fight to the death against the dominant demons.

But the problem is.
Why did these dozen or so blue dragons appear at the Crimson Sanctuary?

Their sacred Nexus is located in the far North Pole of the world. Even if the Red Dragon sent out a distress call, it would be impossible for it to arrive at the battlefield so quickly.

"Marty! Watch out!"

Just as Matriggsa was covering the Red Dragon Prince's ascent, she did not notice the cunning and malicious smirk of the Pit Lord she had frozen within the ice. As Matriggsa approached the ground, preparing to unleash another breath attack to completely annihilate the demons, the ice suddenly shattered.

The mighty Brutallus roared as he charged out, raising his massive blade toward the sky.

The fel meteor that hurtled down struck Malygossa squarely on the head, knocking the blue dragon mother dizzy and crashing to the ground. When she looked up, she saw the ferocious pit lord raising his destructive fist blade at her.

"You're interesting. But I crave a real challenge!"

Amidst that frenzied roar, despair filled Malygos's enormous eyes. She saw her companion Kalecgos desperately charging down, breaking through the two dragons, to save her, but it was too late.

Kareem is terrible.

Kare's combat power is even inferior to hers. She herself is about to die at the hands of this ferocious monster. Kare's arrival would only increase casualties.

But faced with the threat of death, the valiant blue dragon mother did not choose to sit idly by and wait for her doom. Facing the descending blade of destruction, she chose to raise her head and unleash her last arcane breath, attempting to take the mad demon with her to her death.

"bang"

Thick, golden lightning bolts flashed like thunderbolts above the Crimson Sanctuary, striking Brutalus, who was about to commit his murder.

The intense energy release caused the great demon to roar in pain. The paralyzed attack failed to complete; it only tore open Malygos's scales and neck. It was about to finish her off when "reinforcements" arrived.

The black "spiked meteor" tumbled down from the sky, transforming into a shooting star as it crashed into the ferocious great demon. The demon sensed the strange aura, looked up, and saw the "spiked dragon" rushing towards it. The ferocious aura emanating from the dragon was exactly the opponent the abyss lord craved, so it swung its blade and slashed at the sky.

"boom"

The violent explosion, accompanied by the collision of the two colossal creatures, tore the ground of the entire Crimson Shelter apart.

As the smoke and evil fire dissipated, amidst the collapsing ice, Onyxia glanced at her broken dragon horn, shook her head to recover from the dizziness, and opposite her, Brutallus, whose body was covered in ferocious bone spikes, had been blinded, and the Destruction Fist Blade in its hand had shattered under the black dragon's brute force.

Onyxia's dazzling entrance left all the dragons present stunned.

No, ladies?
Who are you?

Do we have such a strange "hedgehog" dragon in Azeroth?
"Retreat! Retreat now! Kare, what are you waiting for? Take Marty and retreat, and let the red dragons leave too!"

A familiar voice rang out from the clouds high above, and Kalecgos looked up in surprise and called out:

"Teresa? Where are you? Where have you been all this time?"

"It can't be explained in a few words. You all should leave now. My companions and I will stay here to hold off the demons. For some special reasons, the Dragon Soul is ineffective against us."

Teregosa, hiding in the dark clouds stirred up by Mylinsera, urged:
"This is a demon's trap, don't fall for it again! Hurry back and tell the Weaver about the Dragon Soul, or all the guardian dragons will be doomed!"

Kalecgos glanced back at the crimson sanctuary, now a scene of utter destruction. He knew Teregosa was right; the fact that the dragon soul had been obtained by demonic minions was terrible news, and this was no time to waste.

Although Kalecgos was weak, he was more capable of commanding. He led the blue dragons to the ground and used magic to lift the heavily injured Matigosa. Then he flew into the sky and had the blue dragons use magic to create a portal for the dragons, urging the red dragons to leave with the dragon eggs.

The mighty Brutallus was held back by Onyxia's relentless berserk fighting, probably because he sensed the demon, which caused Onyxia's "Lightforged" power to finally manifest.

As the battle raged on, the Black Dragon Princess noticed that holy light was constantly surging from her body, enhancing her power. Geometric golden holy runes appeared on every spike and her skin, looking incredibly cool against the black background. The light-forging from the Vigilant had allowed her to passively inherit a portion of the "Ashbringer's" talents, meaning that any lower-level demons she struck would be instantly annihilated.

Even powerful demigods and demons have to endure the scorching heat of their own increasingly high body temperatures, which even form a "purification halo".

As for Zulushid
The cunning orc warlock, seeing that even the mighty Brutallus was trapped, keenly realized that the attack had probably failed. So he raised the Dragon Soul in his hand and pointed it at the weakened Red Dragon Queen before him.

At the crucial moment, the decisive Zulushid decided to lead her into the dream rift behind them.

Although the binding power of the Dragon Soul is currently locked with Ysera, and she is unable to fully control the second dragon king until the power of the Sleeper is stripped away, this forced command still compels the Red Dragon Queen to take her weakened steps.

Alexstrasza even saw Ysera being "corrupted" across the drifting dream rift; her beloved sister had even begun "flesh degeneration," transforming into the form of a proto-dragon.

This caused the Red Dragon Queen immense pain and filled her with resentment towards these demons' lackeys.

"Villain, hand over the Dragon Soul you possess!"

With the blue dragons gone, Teregosa and Mylinsera were finally able to step into the fray.

Two giant dragons, one blue and one green, swooped down. The freezing cold and blinding lightning instantly wiped out the demons protecting Zulushid. Even the demon lord trembled and retreated in the face of the power infused by the star soul.

The blue great dragon and Zul'shid have a personal grudge.

She still remembers how this bastard warlock drained her power in Redridge Mountains, leading her to this path. She hates him. As she lands, she takes a deep breath in the form of a frost dragon, attempting to completely freeze Zul'Farrak. Meanwhile, Mylinsera flaps her enormous wings, causing the lightning cells within her body to overload instantly, and terrifying golden lightning transforms into lightning spears that pierce the dog warlock.

Zul'hild should have been killed, but he held the Dragon Soul and unleashed the power of his completely stripped-away dreams. The dream shield protected him from the attacks of the two savior dragons, leaving him unharmed.

"Hahaha! Foolish things! Even if you accept the pathetic void reshaping and escape the control of the dragon soul, it's useless! This artifact wields the power of dreams, and all offensive forces are meaningless to me!"

He smugly mocked:
"What good are you two if you're so good at fighting? You're no match for Lady Ysera, so how could you possibly shatter my dream power? Get out of my way! Otherwise, you'll both die!"

The blue dragon and the green dragon exchanged a glance, seemingly accepting Zul'shid's "persuasion," and in the next instant, the two giant dragons simultaneously flapped their wings and flew away from the place.

Such decisiveness surprised even the great sorcerer, but then he felt the terrifying heat behind him.

"You stole my sister's power and are now swaggering around? You say no power can harm you?"

Although the Red Dragon Queen, whose eyes were blazing with fire, was still weak, her ferocious dragon mouth was already brewing terrifying heat, and her dragon breath, enough to kill any demon, was rolling.

"What if it's healing power?"

"boom"

Zul'hild was terrified and raised the Dragon Soul to use the power of dreams. However, the Red Dragon Queen's flame was not harmful at all. It was a true healing dragon fire that could lock life force in the body.

Of course, the cost is...
"what!!!"

The warlock screamed as he was scorched by the dragon's fire. His life force was not damaged, but his body was forced to endure the terrifying dragon's breath.

In an instant, Zulushid felt all the water in his body evaporate, his blood was heated to boiling point, and his skin cracked like peeling charcoal, with cracks bursting out beneath his skin.

"Ah! The dragon's fire has sealed my destiny! No! You won't escape! You wicked mother dragon, I'll tear you to pieces!"
