Spellcasting Gods

While reassuring the Supreme Authority to himself, Zhang Cheng brought the crystal at the tip of his staff to the core of the Naaru's Holy Light.

Oh, no, it should be Shadow Core now.

The instant the two touch!

A blinding light suddenly shone!

It was as if the supreme authority had triggered a crucial mechanism; in just a few seconds, the core, which had been radiating endless shadow energy, burst forth with dazzling holy light.

However, this holy light is not the whole thing; half of its core is still firmly occupied by shadow energy.

In the few minutes that the two energies intertwined and collided, a pale gray spot of light, almost invisible to the naked eye, gradually appeared.

Without a doubt, this little thing is the Naaru's true form, a singularity born from the intense conflict between light and darkness, and is also equivalent to the Naaru's heart and soul.

Despite its seemingly small and fragile appearance, it actually contains power that is not much less than, and may even be stronger than, the most powerful nuclear weapon on Earth.

Without any hesitation!

Zhang Cheng poured all his power into the staff, capturing it through a powerful energy cage and pulling it little by little into the crystal at the top of the staff. Finally, he slowly decomposed and absorbed it. The originally colorless crystal was quickly dyed with a layer of gold, but in the center of the gold, there was a small black dot that kept flashing.

Wait until the final step is completed!

Naruna's enormous shell, which had been floating in mid-air, suddenly emitted a loud bang!

boom!

All the remaining energy that had spiraled out of control spread rapidly in all directions during the violent explosion. Not only were the wreckage of the spaceship, which the orcs regarded as a sacred mountain, shattered into pieces, but even the ground beneath their feet was torn apart by the terrifying energy storm.

The violent collapse of the earth's crust not only shocked the nearby Draenei Broken, but also stirred up the orcs of Garadar in the north.

Even more terrifying is that the two waves of shadow energy caused massive pollution to the entire Nagrand region's ecosystem.

Many of the once lush green meadows have been corrupted into a dark purple color, and the animals have also become twisted and deformed under the corruption of the shadow energy. If anyone eats their flesh, although they will not be poisoned to death on the spot, they will soon experience a series of side effects.

Even the elements of the Elemental Throne were not spared. Many elements were transformed into a different form under the invasion of shadow energy and began to violently attack anyone who approached them.

Before the unfortunate Mag'har orcs could even react to what was happening, their homes were submerged by the monstrous waves unleashed by the raging water elementals. Pain and death quickly enveloped the last remaining sanctuary of Outland.

But Zhang Cheng completely ignored the terrible disaster he had unintentionally caused. He was floating in mid-air using the power of magic, patiently waiting for the supreme authority to complete its upgrade.

As for the fragments of Kourei's body, most of them were scattered and fell into the bottomless twisted void during the explosion. Only the core and a few larger pieces were collected by him.

In any case, the Naaru's body is a near-perfect energy storage and conduction device, making it ideal for crafting powerful magical items or artifacts.

Time passed second by second...

Just as the demonized Hilna spread her wings and flew over from afar, wanting to ask what had happened, the Supreme Authority Dream, which had been silent, released a golden light as intense as the sun, followed by an overwhelming shadow.

The two switched frequently for about half a minute before finally calming down.

Sensing the astonishing power contained within the crystal at the top, Zhang Cheng slightly curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "How does the Naru taste?"

“Excellent! Great master! When can we devour another one?” The supreme authority spoke in a manner similar to crystal resonance.

Clearly, after absorbing the Naaru, it was greatly enhanced in both strength and intelligence.

"Hehe, don't rush. In this world on the verge of collapse, there are many creatures called Naru. Once they have completed their missions, I promise I will capture them all and let you eat them." Zhang Cheng chuckled as he made his promise.

"So what are your plans next?" the Supreme Authority probed, a hint of excitement in its voice.

"It's simple! Before the Alliance and the Horde can react, take down Doom Lord Kazzak. I'm sure Illidan, the King of Outland, will be more than happy to take action himself, don't you think?"

At this point, Zhang Cheng paused deliberately and turned his gaze to the female demon hunter who had flown to his side.

Hilna was taken aback at first, but then immediately nodded: "That's right! Lord Illidan would never let go of any opportunity to cripple the Legion. Moreover, Doom Lord Kazzak opened the Dark Portal, which is clearly an act of retaliation against us on the orders of Kil'jaeden the Deceiver. Given Lord Illidan's character, he will surely respond."

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s return to the Black Temple. I believe Illidan will make the right choice. Also, where is my apprentice? Could he have been killed by some Gronn wandering in the wilderness?” Zhang Cheng looked up and glanced at the still-standing ground in the distance, noticing that Kara Cape was not nearby.

"No, that poor tauren is still alive. As you requested, I took him hunting for a few days, and he's currently roasting Tabu sheep near the plains." The female demon hunter pointed to a wisp of smoke rising into the sky to the north.

"Oh? How did he perform?" Upon hearing that his apprentice was still alive, Zhang Cheng stroked his chin with interest.

“Excellent! Especially the level of shamelessness, it’s truly an eye-opener.” Hilna couldn’t help but smile.

Under Zhang Cheng's grueling training, Kara Cape was no longer an apprentice, but a cunning, treacherous mage skilled in both ambushes and counter-ambushes.

This pirate-born bull is not only incredibly skilled in using frost, fire, and arcane magic, but has also learned some shameless tactics without any formal instruction.

If the opponent is smaller than himself, he will teleport close, raise his hoof to perform a War Stomp to stun the enemy, and then follow up with a combo of Ice Spike, Fire Blast, and Arcane Missiles. If the enemy is still alive, he will swing his heavy staff to smash the target's head open and cause it to bleed profusely.

However, if the opponent is larger than himself, he will choose to keep his distance and keep attacking the target's legs until the opponent tries to catch up. Only then will he slowly turn around and kill him bit by bit.

Most importantly, Kara Cape was nothing like the honest and simple minotaurs of ordinary people; instead, she learned a whole host of shameless tricks from the pirates.

For example, during battle, he might spit in the opponent's face, use his hooves to kick up mud and sand to attack their eyes, or gore people with his sharp horns. There's nothing he wouldn't do, only things you can't imagine.

As the old saying goes, a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible...

Chapter 0636 A Parting Gift

Near the Dark Portal in Hellfire Peninsula, hundreds of portals have been erected, and tens of thousands of demons belonging to the Burning Legion are continuously converging from all corners of the universe.

Since Outland doesn't have the protection set up by the Titans like Azeroth, there's no need to worry about interference or restrictions. In just a few days, more than 100,000 demons have been summoned. Some of them launched a fierce attack on the Hellfire Wall and fortresses controlled by Illidan's fel orcs, while others entered the Blasted Lands, attempting to launch a third invasion of Azeroth.

As for Doom Lord Kazzak, he is currently personally commanding his army in the Outland campaign from a high mountain in the north, named the Throne of Kil'jaeden, while his lieutenant Krull is in charge of attacking Watchtower and preparing for a full-scale invasion of the empty eastern continent.

To wage war on two fronts without any terrain or strategic advantage!

I doubt that apart from the Burning Legion, there would be any other force that would dare to be so arrogant!

However, thanks to its absolute advantages in both quality and quantity, the entire plan has proceeded exceptionally smoothly, and so far has not encountered any real obstacles.

Needless to say, the fel orcs created by Illidan using the blood of Magtheridon were all suppressed around strong fortresses and city walls, and given time they would surely be torn to pieces by the endless stream of demons.

Even a portion of Kurul's army has already crossed Duskwood and is advancing directly towards Stormwind. If the Alliance cannot complete its defense within three days, the entire Kingdom of Stormwind may fall.

Despite the seemingly excellent situation, Kazak did not let his guard down.

Because he learned from the fraudster Kil'jaeden that the Dreadlord's homeland had been reduced to cosmic dust by the "traitor" Illidan's attack, he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't replicate a similar situation in Outland.

After all, Outland was almost completely drained during the orc invasion, and its ecosystem and crust are extremely fragile, making it entirely possible for the spectacular destruction of Nazreza to be repeated.

This is why Kil'jaeden the Deceiver didn't descend directly to crush Illidan's stronghold—the Black Temple—with his unparalleled power.

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I'm afraid to.

Ever since Archimonde the Defiler was tricked and killed by the night elves under the World Tree, he has become much more cautious, fearing that he might suffer the same fate as his predecessor.

Moreover, Kil'jaeden has recently come up with a new plan: to use the immense magical power of the Sunwell to allow his powerful body to pass through the Titans' protection and enter Azeroth, where he will seize the unawakened Star Soul.

Moreover, this time, the Night Elves no longer had a World Tree empowered by the Guardian Dragons to unleash a terrifying energy shock.

Of course, Kazzak was unaware of these ambitious plans. Standing atop the mountain, he looked down at the fierce battle on Hellfire Peninsula and asked the busy Morgo mechanics behind him without turning his head, "When will our magic-powered mechs be ready?"

“Great Doomsday Lord! At the current pace, it will take at least another four days,” the Morgok mechanic hurriedly stopped his work and replied.

Directly in front of him stood a colossal creature made entirely of fel-forged iron, almost as tall as Kazzak, or even taller. Its massive iron fists and feet, powerful enough to crush kodo beasts, could easily tear apart even the strongest defenses.

"Two days! I'm only giving you two days! If you still can't get these big guys moving after two days, I'll shove you into the barrel of the fel cannon and launch you out," Kazzak threatened, waving the massive magical weapon in his hand.

Just as the Morgo mechanics were trying to buy some time, a familiar figure suddenly descended from the sky at incredible speed, wielding a pair of green-glowing blades to instantly kill dozens of demon guards who hadn't had time to react.

“Illidan?!” Kazzak recognized the newcomer without a doubt, his eyes widening in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that the other party would dare to come to his territory alone.

"Hmph! Long time no see, Doom Lord. I never expected Kil'jaeden would send you to kill me." The demon hunter greeted him with a cold laugh.

"Are you alone?" Kazak squinted, scanning his surroundings, trying to find more enemies lurking nearby.

He knew he wasn't one of those brainless abyss lords; he understood that a cunning and treacherous fellow like the other wouldn't appear before him unprepared.

"What, are you scared?" Illidan raised the Blade of Azzinoth high, making a provocative gesture.

Seeing this, Kazzak immediately swung his massive two-handed sword down, roaring viciously, "Fear? I'm afraid! You lowly night elf! You will pay for your arrogance!"

"Hahahaha! Come on! Let me see what you've got!" Illidan laughed as he soared into the air, skillfully maneuvering behind the Doom Lord using the air currents, and slashed two deep, bone-revealing wounds on the Doom Lord's massive wings.

puff!

Hot blood immediately splattered everywhere!

"Ah ...

Several Ganlgwa laborers who couldn't dodge in time were torn to pieces!

As the saying goes, "When gods fight, mortals suffer." In the Doomsday Lord's massive attacks, almost every unlucky soul caught in the crossfire was reduced to a mangled corpse and pieces of flesh.

No one noticed that behind the cliffs of Kil'jaeden's throne stood a young human, intently guiding magical energy.

The entire mountain, as well as the Burning Legion on the front lines of Hellfire Peninsula, were all within the range of this powerful strategic magic.

Without a doubt, he was none other than Zhang Cheng, who wanted to give the enemy a big gift before leaving.

His interference caused the Dark Portal to open several months ahead of the original timeline. If left unchecked, this could trigger a series of chain reactions, such as Kel'Thuzad's control of the flying fortress Naxxramas, which would soon launch a new wave of attacks.

To ensure that Chromie wouldn't cause him trouble, Zhang Cheng thought it best to weaken the Burning Legion's power in Outland before leaving.

Amidst the intense sounds of fighting below, he quickly completed all the preparations for the complex magical ritual and gently raised his staff—the Supreme Authority.

In a mere instant!

Blinding golden light burst forth from the crystal at the top, enveloping nearly a quarter of Hellfire Peninsula like a net!

These pure holy lights, like lasers, sliced ​​the weaker demons into pieces.

The more powerful the demon, the worse off they are, like a fat pig trapped in a wire mesh, the more it struggles, the deeper it is embedded in the body.

Accompanied by an intense burning sensation, thousands upon thousands of demons began to let out screams and wails of unbearable agony...

Chapter 0637 The Death of Kazzak

"By the Holy Light! Look! What's that?" a human sentinel standing on a high place shouted.

Because Honor Hold is very close to Hellfire Citadel, it has suffered numerous demonic attacks in recent days, so it has maintained a high state of alert.

Fortunately, the overwhelming demon army did not make this place their primary target; otherwise, this defensive fortification, built after the Second War, probably wouldn't have lasted even two days.

However, after the disappearance of Turalyon and Alleria Windrunner, Darnass Trollbane, the supreme commander of Honor Hold, dared not let his guard down. He not only doubled the number of guards, but also ordered the accompanying mages to continuously reinforce and repair the damaged walls in order to deal with the possible siege that might occur at any time.

At the sentry's shout, many people hurriedly climbed the watchtower and looked into the distance. They soon discovered the overwhelming golden energy net and the thousands of demons that had died within it.

"My God! This...this is the power of the Holy Light?" Another paladin, who looked like an officer, gaped, an expression of disbelief on his face.
