Light's Dawn of Azeroth

Chapter 517, Section 56: We, the Shadow Chasing Insect Swarm, are the gold-medal garbage cans, specializing in collecting those dangerous and difficult-to-handle freaks.
Savis made a very embarrassing exit.

Although this unfortunate beast, eager to get off work, had no intention of fighting to the death for Xalatas's orders, its humiliating second exit from the Northern Frontier still prompted the Nightmare King to hurl a vicious threat.

However, the deterrent effect of these harsh words was basically the same as a gentle breeze to the "Dream Eater Tyrant". Anyway, if you have any grievances, just come to the Shadow Chaser's Nest and "let me chop you up".

If you dare to come, I can even ask the Zerg swarm's "fighting brothers" to go easy on you when they beat you up.

As the mournful cries of the shattered shadows in that nightmarish land dissipated, the Dream Eater stretched out its enormous and ferocious body, standing there on its thick and majestic legs, its purplish-red wings and elytra folded together, and its huge, trident-shaped scorpion tail, as large as a battering ram, drooping low.

In this form, it looks more like a praying mantis.

Especially the entropy scythe arm and the evil dragon claw that were gathered in front of him.

Although it is the leader of the flying Zerg swarm, it has a very similar appearance to Agamaggan, with the same thick-armored dragon head adorned with crescent blades, four compound eyes staring at Ysera in front of it, and scorching jets of air spewing from its nostrils-like nasal passages.

The size comparison between the two reminded Ysera of the scene when she first met Galakrond in ancient times. Compared to the Dream Eater Tyrant, she was really too "miniature" at this moment.

"Is that you, Eranicus?"

Ysera looked up and called out in a sorrowful tone:

"You sensed I was in danger, so you came to save me? You still remember me, you still miss me, you still love me, right?"

The Dream Eater did not answer.

It simply stood there, as if using its last precious moments to take one last look at its beloved, to forever etch Ysera's dashing and beautiful image into its mind.

As Ysera tried to get closer, the purplish-black scorpion tail that could spray "biological toxin bombs" swung up and slammed heavily in front of Ysera.

Don't come near me!

This is the meaning it wants to convey.

It is no longer the same as it used to be; it can no longer even be considered a "dragon." It must obey the will of the swarm, and Ysera's superior genes are coveted by the swarm.

It was afraid of hurting her.

So, after a roar to the heavens, he unleashed his malevolent energy, transforming it into black and white shockwaves that tore apart the nightmare leader shrouded in Xavius.

Behind it, the dark rift leading to the insect hive pulsated and rippled, like an open door.

It's leaving.

But Ysera acted more bravely than the Dream Eater had imagined.

She let out a howl and pounced on it, landing on the Dream Eater while it stood there dumbfounded.

She clung to it tightly with her four dragon claws, like a "young beast" clinging to it, even wrapping her tail around the Dream Eater's claws, afraid of losing it again.

"I thought I'd never see you again!"

She cried out in anguish:

"But fate has brought you back, even if it's not quite what I imagined, it's still better than your former dragon form. It's because I lost you that I have to make myself stronger!"

I've shaped myself into who I am today because I don't want to lose anything more.
Darling, did you come here specifically to protect me?

Ilanicus has not yet responded.

It merely touched Ysera gently with its powerful, earth-shattering claws, not even daring to let its more dangerous scythes touch her—the gentlest gesture a Zerg bioweapon could make.

You know what, this scene really does have a "Beauty and the Beast" vibe.

"Supreme Evolution. Begins. The Great Cycle is calling me; I must depart."

It said intermittently:
"For the Lightforgers' great cause, for the Swarm's glory, and for you, so you need not fight anymore. I have fulfilled my duty."

Isera understood.

The Dream Eater embraced the Swarm's call for her sake, but its battle for redemption is far from over.

It's leaving, returning to its destined, more brutal and terrifying battlefield.

She glanced into the dark rift shimmering with energy waves. Through the reflection-like doorway, she could see the exaggerated movements of the Shadow Chaser swarm preparing for battle on the other side, and even hear the roars and calls of the Overlord Agamaggan on the other side.

The old pig seemed to be mocking the Dream Eater for being so engrossed in the "gentle embrace" that it could never return.

It is still threatening it.

If you don't come back soon, I'll rush over and knock you over, making you lose face in front of Ysera, and then drag you back!
"Will you come back to see me?"

The Sleeper, quite obediently, jumped down, took a step back, and squatted down where Savas had "died." She used her tail to flick away the lingering nightmare fragments of Savas's shadow, and asked in a girlish tone:

"Will you come to save me again if I'm in danger next time?"

The Dream Eater did not answer.

It glanced at Ysera one last time, then turned and spread its wings like a giant beast to return to the swarm, but a silver scale remained on its forehead.

That was Isera's gift.

They will meet again, the sleeper is convinced of this.

The Dream Eater Tyrant spread its terrifying wings and flew into the air, circling once before swooping down toward the Swarm Gate on the ground.

However, just as Ysera was watching her beloved depart, the ferocious Dream Eater suddenly slammed down in a swift, explosive spin in the air, creating a violent storm that once again protected Ysera under its giant wings.

At the same time, the ferocious scythe and dragon claws swung up, colliding with the "monster" that emerged from the shattered nightmare behind them.

It was a ferocious black dragon head!

It had exaggerated dragon horns and a huge mouth that spewed shadow flames. Its eyes were filled with madness and destruction. However, as the Dream Eater smashed the attacking dragon's head away, four other dragon heads came from all sides like a pack of predatory snakes, biting hard at the Dream Eater's thick armor.

The swarm leader roared, and as Ysera retreated behind it with wide eyes and a hint of astonishment and fear, it took a deep breath and slammed the coldest entropy dragon breath into the monster's body, which was no smaller than itself.

However, the other party was completely unharmed.

It charged forward, still radiating a chilling, entropy-inducing breath, revealing its true form. It resembled an enlarged version of a four-legged dragon, but with five heads of different colors.

It was bizarre and morbid, like a multi-headed serpent, with a pair of enormous wings that flapped incessantly, lashing the Dream Eater Tyrant like a heavy hammer.

This thing is clearly not a product of natural life. Its five dragon heads have traces of void stitching on their necks, and the color of its two wings is also very strange. The whole thing looks like a pieced-together product.

It's practically a dragon version of "Frankenstein".

However, the swarm-enhanced Dream Eater is still a leader-level creature, and its size is no smaller than this guy's. In a simple contest of strength, this thing's biting attack is definitely not as brutal and powerful as the Dream Eater's claw strikes and scythe-arm slashes.

More importantly, the Dream Eater wasn't fighting this stitched-together monster just to protect Ysera; it received "instructions."

"High-value target! Immortality is rare! Exquisite! Perfect!"

The sovereign's wailing echoed in the Dream Eater's mind, filled with the eager anticipation of a predator, as it commanded:

"Operation plan changed, Dream Eater, capture the creature before you! The Zerg swarm, facing imminent war, needs its genes!"

"boom"

The black and white evil energy erupted, and the Dream Eater's four compound eyes flashed blood red. As its serrated teeth bit, the heavy trident scorpion tail swung, spraying highly toxic bombs carrying gene spores from the dragon's tail, which smashed into the giant dragon monster and triggered a series of explosions.

It flaps its wings and takes off, its massive body changing position as nimbly as a dragonfly with the help of its elytra.

The entropy breath from before had no effect on this thing, so the Dream Eater switched to another attack mode in mid-air. The high-frequency vibration of the resonating cavity in its chest caused invisible sound waves to converge into arrows, which struck the giant dragon monster.

The latter's scales burst open, and the surrounding ground was shattered by the sonic explosion.

However, its destructive power remains limited.

Ysera flew over as well, hovering in the air and spewing corrosive poison at the monster. But the monster neither dodged nor avoided the poison, which was enough to melt metal and stone. It raised its green dragon head and spewed out almost the same corrosive poison at Ysera.

"My God, 'Dragon King's Plague' Chromatus! They actually made this thing!"

A cry of alarm came from the sky. The five-colored dragons under the Lightforged's command were covering the ground troops' charge into the royal palace battlefield. Chromie, who was chasing several black dragons with her golden wings flapping, screamed loudly when she saw the "dragon stitched monster":

"Get back! Don't go near it! Chromatus is immortal, and it possesses the power of all the dragons. Damn it! If they can't catch a bronze dragon, are they using the head of an eternal dragon instead?"

No wonder there are no Infinite Dragons in this timeline!
They weren't unaware of this place; they just dared not approach.

"buzz"

Chromie's warning came at just the right time. The red dragon prince, Kelstrez, who was flying towards the battlefield, used an "aerial dragon-stopping maneuver," swinging his wings and tail to knock several of his fellow dragons back into the air, preventing them from being captured by the seemingly formidable Chromathus.

Of course, it could also be to prevent their fellow dragons from being targeted by the equally dangerous Dream Eater Tyrant. After all, apart from Ysera, the other dragons have no respect for the Dream Eaters; they are merely "high-quality material" in the eyes of the swarm.

However, a few red dragons rushed too fast.

They were captured and targeted by the dragon stitched monster as soon as they approached it.

As the gray-black Eternal Dragon's head roared and exerted its power, a massive time freeze was applied to the surrounding area, freezing multiple dragons, including the Dream Eater and Ysera, in time.

Seeing that things were about to go wrong, Chromie immediately cast a spell in the air to shake the time freeze. She knew that she could not fight against a monster like Chromatas with the power to control time, so she cunningly only released the time freeze for Dream Eater and Ysera.

She ignored the other dragons.

Anyway, they fly high, so being suspended in the air for a while means they don't have to worry about encountering "dragon gropers." "Onyxia, quickly get your powerful mother to help!"

Chromie shouted:

"Cromatus can only be dealt with by the Dragon Kings, but right now the Red Dragon Queen and the Spellweaver are busy bringing back the Bronze Dragons, so they can't stop the call of time. We'll have to go up and hold them off!"
Losa! Stop standing there like an idiot.

You can't handle this monster. Quickly, you and the Sun King, along with your warriors, slip past it! King Terenas is just ahead, near that summoning ritual.

"Oh."

Marshal Lothar, who was walking through the wrecked palace shattered by nightmares, responded. He and the Sun King beside him looked with awe at the stitched monster that was single-handedly fighting against a dozen dragons attacking them.

"can you?"

He asked Kael'thas, the Sun King, a question, and the elf shook his head, saying:

"I have a pretty accurate grasp of my own strength. The monster in front of me combines all the power of the five dragons and is the 'ultimate creature' created by Deathwing. It is not something we can deal with."

But there's nothing shameful about it.

Deathwing certainly didn't create it to destroy us; it's a disaster for the dragons, and it's their responsibility to deal with this trouble.

Let's go, Terenas is just ahead.

Look at the vile creatures hiding in his city and palace, what a farce!
It's time to end this.

"My friend, you can describe 'weak' in such a fresh and elegant way, which truly makes me marvel at the art of language."

Lothar even had time to crack a joke.

But just as they were moving from the edge of the battlefield where the giant beasts were fighting into the palace, the three dragon chieftains who were with them made a decision.

"You go ahead, we'll stay here and fight that black dragon monster."

Anbosha, the scale-bearer of the Steel Vision Camp, gathered a ball of dragonfire in her claws and hurled it to illuminate the dark ruins ahead for the humans. She shouted:
“Sakares shared everything he had seen and heard with me and Asuratai. We also studied the history of the dragons in the Dragon Shrine and realized that the source of the black dragons’ corruption was here.”

We can no longer evade the connection between Dragonshill and Deathwing.

"We want to say goodbye to our 'father' in a way that will comfort everyone."

Asuratai wielded a giant dragon staff, and as it incantated arcane magic to gather around it, it said:

"We may not be able to participate in the final battle between the Vigilant Saint and Deathwing, but we should be here as warriors to bring liberation to more black dragons."

It's time for Longsil to choose his place in the world.

"We choose to refuse Deathwing's embrace; we will not fall!"

Zakares gripped two dragon-slaying spears, his eyes fixed on the roaring dragon of destruction, Chromatus. It flapped its wings, propelling itself into the air. Under the watchful eyes of the other dragons, the leader of the Blackscale Camp shouted:
"We choose to fulfill the oath we took at birth, we choose to be protectors! Dragonsir, stop these black dragons and twilight dragons from approaching, clear the skies for the heroes of mankind!"

We may not have had the chance to join the former dragon kingdoms, but we can protect the human empire as it is reborn today.

Let this be our first step into world history!

"Ow"

The warriors of Dragonhill chose to follow their scales.

On the edge of the battlefield where the behemoths were fighting wildly, hundreds of dragons blocked the sky leading deeper into the palace. Any black dragons and twilight dragons that tried to stop Lothar and his companions from getting close to the summoning ritual would be attacked by the "dragon hunters" if they got too close. The red dragons and blue dragons soon joined them as well.

They, along with the black dragon and the twilight dragon, engaged in a fierce battle on the palace grounds.

The gates of dreams kept opening, and under the leadership of Mylinsera, the Green Dragon Legion under the command of the Supreme Star Soul also joined the battlefield. Thus, the five-colored dragons gathered together under the same sky once again in a bizarre way.

"Ambosa! Zacares, we're here too!"

The Healwing and Darkclaw dragons who had followed Lady Ysera to the Star Soul Sanctuary also rode their green dragons into the bustling battlefield, roaring and soaring together with their companions.

In this strange world, more than 20,000 years after their birth, these ancient life forms seem to have once again found a way to survive.

They have adapted to this era and chosen an ecological niche that suits their way of doing things.

However, although the final offensive of the black dragon, chromatic dragon, and twilight dragon that charged toward this side was blocked by Dragonsil and the dragons, Chromatus was still a huge threat that could not be ignored.

If this thing were to unleash its full power, it could devour every single dragon present. As Deathwing's "final weapon" prepared in secret, this thing is designed to be used against the other four dragon kings besides Deathwing.

In other words, this guy possesses power comparable to the combined might of the four Dragon Kings.

Of course, its destructive power in reality is far less than that, perhaps because the head of the Eternal Dragon was replaced with that of the Bronze Dragon, which prevented Chromatus from achieving perfect control over time.

Moreover, in the official history, just activating this guy would consume all the energy of the Blue Dragonflight's treasure "Focusing Iris". It needs Titan energy to be truly "awakened". Although it can still fight in this state, it always feels like it is "lacking in energy".

It's like trying to drive a Tiger tank with the engine of a three-wheeled motorcycle.

It's already remarkable that it can move and fight; we really can't pursue perfect destructive power. What's even better is that the dragons don't need to destroy this thing right now.

"bang"

The berserk Onyxia swung her spiked fist and smashed open Chromatus's massive jaws, only to be whipped away by the dragon of destruction's tail. But the next second, the even larger and more majestic "Dragon Shepherd" Sinestra charged in like a "Dragon Chariot Slam."

The scorching, solid diamond dragon horn plunged deep into the chest cavity of the Destroyer Dragon.

Although the raging Daenerys Targaryen has a gentler personality after being "fallen," she didn't suffer for nothing over the years, and she can definitely be furious when she needs to be.

She and the Dream Eater, two colossal beasts, took over the battlefield, alternating attacks on Chromatus and, guided by the Dream Eater, "luring" the monster toward the Swarm Gate located at the rear of the battlefield.

The Overlord desired this "immortal dragon" as a sample for the next stage of the Shadow Chaser's evolution, and the Dream Eater naturally had to satisfy its desire.

"Hey, aren't you guys going a bit too far by throwing all sorts of weird stuff into the Shadow Chaser's nest?"

Having just knocked over three black dragons, the "world's fastest blue dragon," Little Star, was feeling a bit dizzy. She hid beside Teregosa, shaking her head and whispering:

"That thing looks like a creation of the void. If we throw it into the Sea of ​​No Light, will it create a 'super daddy' for us?"

"You underestimate the genetic masters of the Zerg swarm."

Teregosa unleashed "Ice Age" from the air, creating a permafrost cloud that swept across the battlefield. She whispered:
"Even Deathwing would be severely punished if he fell into the hands of the Abathurs, let alone a brainless dragon. It is only 'immortal,' not 'invincible.'"

You can tell from the fact that the Watchers aren't even interested in making a move that their current combat power isn't enough.

It simply has enormous potential.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Onyxia, who had just been sent flying, transformed into a "meteor of light" and roared back onto the battlefield. As the Dream Eater retreated, the Black Dragon Princess curled up and slammed down on the Destruction Dragon.

This collision shattered the already overburdened gates of the Lordaeron Palace and once again pushed Chromatus back to the edge of that dark reflection.

The king beast Agamaggan, which had been lying in ambush beside the Reflection Gate, leaped up from the Swarm in an instant. It bit down on Chromatus's red dragon head and used its four ferocious scythe claws to grip the giant beast's body, dragging it into the forbidden area of ​​the Swarm with brute force.

"Sister"

At that moment, while the other four heads were roaring, the black dragon's head struggled to look at Onyxia, who was swinging her claws at it.

The dazed and confused calls struck the Black Dragon Princess like a thunderbolt.

"Nefarian! Is that you? Are you trapped inside this monster's body?"

Onyxia roared:

"Was it that witch who imprisoned you to control this monster? I'm going to kill her!"

"Run away from your father as fast as you can!"

This was the final instruction from the black dragon head of Clomatus.

The next instant, it was struck like a heavy cannon blast by the flying Dream Eater Tyrant. With the combined power of the two swarm leaders, this destructive dragon with unlimited potential was finally thrown into the Shadow Chaser swarm.

Just as a giant dragon monster was sealed away, the dark gate of reflections quietly closed at that moment.

Just as Onyxia reached out her claws to try and hold on, the echoing shadows of the void finally transformed into a dim point of light and landed in the palm of her hand.

The Black Dragon Mother's furious roar erupted from behind. Sinestra, having witnessed her son's tragedy, would soar into the air like a shining dragon of holy fire, unleashing her rage upon Deathwing's other corrupted creations.

Those Twilight Dragons were really unlucky.

"It will come back."

Ysera noticed Onyxia's sadness and went up to her, saying:

"The Shadowbugs are servants of the Vigilant; Nefarian might be sent back."

"No, it is precisely because the swarm follows the Lightforger that I am certain my brother will not return. Your beloved must bear the atonement of the eternal war, let alone an ambitious man like my brother?"

Princess Black Dragon sighed and said:
"But perhaps this is the best ending for it. It no longer has to be tormented by our tyrannical father and can finally live a simple life. It's over! All the dark history of the Presto family will end today."

I just want it to come quickly, I've really had enough!

Ps:

The "Dragon's Bane" Chromatus is as follows:
