Dark Eldar

Jonah (832155), the capital city of Banshees, Eden, Medusa, and Werewolves. The "Frozen Lake Battleground" is located northwest of the capital city.

Today, Wolverine John's "winning tips" have met their match. In matchmaking mode, also in "designated battlefield," two ice mages from the "Dark Eldar" race!!

The announcement board in this other world had already posted news about the newly added outer realm, the "Dark Eldar," but the apprentices, including the Grand Elder, Master Schopenhauer, were unimpressed. This was mainly because they had "experienced" them back at level 25, and the details of the battle were still vivid in their minds! (The Dark Eldar initially failed because their numbers were only around 20, making it a "closed beta" event.)

People often associate this with another race, the "Night Elves," also known as "Dark Elves," a rare branch of the Elven race. They were also featured in the game during the 18+ era. Their opening animation and accompanying promotional tagline were quite "excellent," such as "Descendants of the Undead, the Evolution of the Elves..." etc. (GG!)

Unfortunately, its performance in PvP and battles was mediocre. High critical hit rate resulted in weak defense, and its agility and evasion were inferior to the Primal Elf race. Its high aggro meant it was often the first to die. Therefore, it was forcibly removed from the game. Heroes who chose the "Dark Elf" back then received a large sum of compensation, some in the form of "experience points," and most in "Bitcoin" to make up the difference. It eventually faded completely from people's minds.

Fog has risen over the battlefield of Jonah's Frozen Lake... Everything is hazy and indistinct... Checking the opponent's information in the entry system, "Class: Ice Mage, Ice Mage; Level: 65, 63; Race: Dark Elf!!"

Screams! Cheers! Applause!! (Outside the stadium; spectator area)

"Frost magic? In this other world, it's a symbol of purity and light. Could it be that the Dark Eldar also possess ice magic?" While waiting, Wolverine John (ZS, Level 61) asked his partner George.

"Brother Wolf, our nemesis has arrived. They're even more cunning than us, choosing two Frost elementals, and they're Dark Elf race too! We need to be careful this time!!" Iron Man George said politely. (FS, Level 60)

"Yeah, it's finally time to face them. Edward has already defeated the Dark Eldar, and we haven't beaten them even once. I've heard they're incredibly powerful!!" Chatting during lulls in the fighting is fine. But once you click to confirm and enter, it's real fighting! Nobody has time for idle chatter.

The system is simultaneously counting down: "54321!!"

Wolverine held his breath, preparing to strike first. (Tactical Explanation: Some teams like to discuss tactics before strictly implementing them. Wolverine and George had already agreed on a tactical approach: "play it by ear," neither interfering with the other's strategy. They gradually build "teamwork" and can also increase "friendship.")

Upon entering the battlefield, the two Dark Elf mages, equipped with "sets" of armor, possessed appearances never seen before in this other world. Their entrance emanated an absolutely "icy" chill. Even the tough guy George, a hundred meters away, could feel the "outer-world cold."

"Freeze!"

"One of the taller dark Eldar mages quickly cast a spell. (Common language, updated)

Before John could even launch his 45-degree ambush (a standard tactic), he was frozen in place. John grimaced, indicating his defiance, and tried to break free.

Seeing this, George knew he was no match for two ice mages of the same level, so he quickly found a place to hide.

"What do I do? What do I do? This isn't usually the case. They've frozen werewolf John perfectly, and now I'm all alone..." Iron Man George thought to himself. The "Iron Man" halo above his head radiated an indomitable aura.

Heroes are generally not exposed by their titles, though some may, and there are always sacrifices for those who receive bonuses. Most titles are well-made by the system and won't be rejected by heroes because they are too "eye-catching." However, some titles are indeed exaggerated (special effects, flashing fonts), which are prepared for "taunting" and are more suitable for warriors.

Behind an inconspicuous block of ice in the frozen lake arena, George lay hidden silently. At that moment, he desperately wanted to surrender, but he knew, "If I don't fight to the very last moment, I'll be unworthy of the title 'Iron Man.' That was a keepsake from my senior, 'Mera'..."

"Oh, oh? Where did the other one go? I sensed he was also a frost mage!" The Dark Eldar whispered among themselves. Their appearances were exactly the same as those encountered on the Black Dragon King's side. The only differences were their clothing and "badges." This proved that the "Dark Eldar" were not just Arthas's faction.

"Yo yo! Let's split up and search. The map is only so big, he definitely won't just disappear into thin air. If all else fails, cast a spell to force him out!!" the slightly taller Dark Elf mage commanded.

"Yes, Your Excellency Matavelyn!"

"Velen?? What a strange name?" George's hearing had been enhanced. As a not-so-powerful hero, he usually liked to focus on enhancing his "hearing," "vision," and "backflip," which others considered unimportant "minor skills."

"Oh, still haven't found it. That's impossible!! Why don't we go ask that ice wolf?" the tall dark elf mage said, pointing.

It turned out that George had frozen himself. Connected only to the ice stones, it was almost invisible unless one looked closely. Plus, the map was surrounded by a chilling atmosphere, limiting visibility.

"Call your friend out, and I'll thaw you out, okay?" the tall "Velen" interrogated Wolverine. His voice was cold, quite different from the Dark Eldar from the Black Dragon King's territory. "Apa," and other Eldar, generally spoke with more "approachability," unlike the Dark Eldar Firefox on the battlefield, whose speech sounded particularly mechanical, "Yo-yo!" "Yo-yo!"—like some kind of special custom? Perhaps it was a "code word"; or maybe a "custom-made version." (Local version)

(Note: Dark elemental creatures and dark elves are completely different; they only share the first two characters of their race names. The official explanation is that they have no "connection" whatsoever!)
