Chapter 254: A great harvest thanks to nature's gift
Mountains collapsed, seas churned, powerful evil and chaotic energy spread, huge and hideous monsters were resurrected, and their angry roars caused strong winds and huge waves.
At the same time, thousands of miles away from here is Mount Hyjal, the gathering place of the night elves.
As cousins of the high elves, the night elves refused to use magic and arcane, chose to be close to nature, and worshipped nature and the moon goddess Elune. In Mount Hyjal, next to the World Tree, a magnificent temple was built here.
The World Tree has endowed the night elves here with nearly eternal life, and these night elves have actually stayed here for tens of thousands of years. Moreover, their social capital and civilization development have not made any progress compared to tens of thousands of years ago.
The development of civilization and society has been stagnant, even the population.
In the center of the Moon Temple, the most elite team of the night elves has been guarding here, and the Moon Priestess Tyrande lives and prays here.
But today, the tranquility of the Moon Temple was suddenly broken. The tall temple door was pushed open, and the huge sound broke the solemnity of the temple. This made Tyrande, who was leading the priests to pray to the Moon Goddess, very unhappy.
"Who disturbed the priests' prayer ceremony!" Tyrande said with a gloomy face.
"I'm sorry, Tyrande, the situation is urgent and I have to do this." Malfurion Stormrage, who broke in, said apologetically.
When Tyrande heard her husband's voice, she seemed to be in shock. How long had it been since she last heard that voice? Five hundred years? A thousand years?
Ever since Malfurion became a druid and was allowed to enter the Emerald Dream, Malfurion and other druids have stayed there for hundreds of years or more at a time.
This made Tyrande, the high priest, only meet them once every few hundred years. The White Snake was desperate, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl wept when they heard it. Otherwise, Tyrande would not have carried dried bananas with him.
Since the druids appeared, they have been sleeping in the Emerald Dream, training and exploring. Because they have no concept of time, hundreds of years may pass in one sleep. So Malfurion's body is like a tree that has grown in the forest for who knows how many years, covered with moss, and even small animals have made their homes on them.
"What happened?" When Tyrande saw Malfurion's expression, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
"In the Emerald Dream, I saw the minions of the Old Gods resurrected, and his power has been reflected in the Emerald Dream." Malfurion said seriously.
"Minions of the Old Gods? Where are they?" Tyrande's face changed suddenly. The last time the Old Gods' minions caused trouble was the Zerg, and they paid a huge price to seal those bugs. Could it be that something powerful has escaped again?
"It should be the Dark Coast!" said Malfurion.
"Dark Coast? Could it be the corpse of the Faceless Man? But the Faceless Man has been killed for tens of thousands of years, how could he be resurrected?" Tyrande looked incredulous.
"I don't know. Maybe something happened there that we don't know about. Now we must rush over and kill or seal him to prevent him from causing greater damage to Azeroth!" said Malfurion.
Tyrande also knew that the situation was urgent, so she immediately summoned an army of night elves and rushed to the Dark Coast.
On the Dark Coast, the angry roar of the resurrected Faceless Man spread throughout the area. The surrounding murlocs and animals in the nearby forest had already been frightened away by this momentum.
The Faceless Man who had just been resurrected attacked Richard immediately after seeing him. When he was resurrected, God the Father had already conveyed the order to him to kill this person who blasphemed God the Father at all costs.
The twisted and hideous tentacles shot out instantly, growing hundreds of meters in an instant, trying to entangle Richard.
"Scorching Ray!"
In an instant, more than a dozen blazing magic rays were activated, instantly hitting those tentacles, and the high temperature instantly burned them. But the next second, these tentacles grew back.
The Faceless Man released a divine power shock wave at Richard. The powerful evil power field even distorted the space. As a servant of the Ancient Gods, the Faceless Man possessed power beyond that of a demigod. The power of any of his attacks was enough to rival a nine-ring spell.
"Those who blaspheme the gods must die!"
"You are the best sacrifice I have given to the Father after my rebirth!"
There came a sound like the chirping of an insect, but Richard understood His words completely.
"Open the divine power realm!"
"Activate the advanced chain accidental spell sequence!"
Countless runes rose around Richard's body, and then ripples appeared in the space. Then a field of divine power full of twisted darkness and evil appeared around him.
The golden runes and the dark, twisted world were clearly separated, each occupying half of the sky. These were the domain powers of both sides, as revealed in the collision between the domains just now.
And that divine power attack only caused Richard's domain barrier to shake slightly.
"It's no use shouting slogans loudly!"
"Is this the power of the Father God that you mentioned?"
"That's it?"
Richard felt that the Faceless Man in front of him was not as powerful as he had imagined. After all, the main targets he was fighting against were incarnations of gods, or gods themselves.
The battle intensity was too high. Richard didn't feel any pressure at all even against the Faceless Man, a monster that could be a big boss in the world of Elras.
If all the servants of the Ancient Gods were of this level, he could easily defeat them. Richard opened up his divine domain, which also included rune array protection, legendary magic armor, etc., which was equivalent to adding a small mystical protective force field to his body.
This level of defense can withstand one to three attacks from legendary spells, and based on the intensity of the attack just now by the Faceless Man in front of him, Richard can easily resist dozens of hits.
Seeing that Richard blocked his attack so easily, and even the power of the domain did not gain any advantage, the Faceless Man was also surprised. Although he was a servant of the Ancient God, he was also not someone that mortals could face.
The opponent still had several kinds of rule power, and his domain power could not be fully exerted. Even the blasphemous words he used had no effect.
However, he did not think that the other party would be his opponent. With the blessing of God the Father, his power was now terribly strong!
——【Destruction Orb! 】
Richard casually threw out a magic ball containing destructive power. When facing such a giant enemy, you need to find its weakness and then use a saturation attack to hit it.
The bigger the monster, the lower its agility and the longer its health bar. Their physical strength is very strong and they have a very strong recovery ability.
Just like the faceless man in front of him, ordinary swords and knives would only break his skin, which would recover quickly because his thick muscles and fat completely blocked his vital points. Even those two-handed swords that were one or two meters long could not penetrate his muscle layer.
——【Twisted Shield!】
The twisted force field around the Faceless Man blocked Richard's attack, and then he rushed forward again, hoping to rely on his thick skin and strong recovery ability to kill Richard by force. Unfortunately, his calculations were completely wrong. Facing such a huge enemy, Richard had a complete battle plan.
The Faceless Man's huge body moved over, and countless twisted tentacles appeared, attacking Richard frantically.
"Activate the Eye of Mysticism!"
"Loading the rune array!"
"The Mystic Eye Matrix is activated!"
"Energy supply of the elemental furnace is turned on!"
"The magic particle railgun is fully charged!"
"Battle mode activated! Lock on to the target!"
"Execute an energy saturation coverage attack!"
Richard waved his hand gently, and in the void around him, one Mystic Eye after another appeared. Thirty-six Mystic Eyes formed a Mystic Eye Matrix, which was connected by a large number of rune chains. Purple light shone throughout the sky, and in the next second, thousands of energy beams shot out instantly.
A deafening wail sounded.
All of the Faceless Man's attacks and twisted tentacles were hit by these energy beams and destroyed instantly. All the tentacles in the sky were swept away. At the same time, even its evil force field was torn apart by these energy beams.
The energy beam continued to gain momentum and instantly hit the Faceless Man's body. In just a moment, high temperature, explosion, and elemental annihilation broke out.
The Faceless Man's huge body became the biggest target at this moment, and became tattered under the saturation attack of these energy beams. A large amount of the body was directly annihilated and penetrated by the powerful magic energy, and the hard shell was also shattered under this attack.
At the same time, Tyrande and Malfurion were leading an army to rush over. With a large number of spells, they marched very fast and were already close to the Black Coast.
The closer they got, the more they could sense the powerful evil force, and their hearts sank. They were not sure they could handle such a powerful force.
This force had even distorted the surrounding sky, and countless dark clouds had gathered over the Black Coast. The dark clouds kept rolling, and it seemed that two forces were constantly colliding in the sky.
A gap was torn in the thick dark clouds, giving people a feeling that the sky was torn apart.
"Someone is fighting the Faceless Men!" the two realized immediately.
"We must speed up and get there. The Faceless Man is too powerful. Only if we work together can we have a chance to kill him!" said Tyrande.
"Yes!" Malfurion nodded. No matter who the other party was, as long as they were fighting against the Faceless Man, they were friends! Thinking of this, they sped up again.
At this moment, a powerful force suddenly appeared, and the next second, the two saw a scene that they would never forget. Hundreds of purple beams flew out from the sky, and the original strong wind and dark clouds were torn apart by this force.
Each beam of light gave the two a strong sense of threat. Even when the energy of those purple beams disappeared, a large number of purple marks remained in the sky.
"Then what is that?" Tyrande asked in shock.
"What a powerful force!" Malfurion was also shocked. It would be difficult for him to withstand even one attack of that kind of power, and there were hundreds of them just now.
"It seems to be the power of the arcane!" Tyrande said after sensing it.
"It should be. Could it be that group of mages are fighting the Faceless Men?" said Malfurion.
Tyrande said: "Such a powerful attack can only be unleashed by a group of hundreds of mages!"
"Hurry up, the power of magic cannot be used recklessly. The War of the Ancients is a lesson for us!"
The two of them accelerated towards the Black Coast.
At this time, on the Black Sea Coast, after Richard's Arcane Eye Matrix lesson, the surrounding environment has been completely changed. Although the power of the Arcane Eye's magic ion railgun is far less powerful than the Wizard Tower, it is also the power of the Nine Rings spell.
The power of a salvo of thirty-six Mystic Eyes is greater than that of a wizard tower.
After a violent explosion, the surrounding terrain has changed. An astonishingly huge pit appeared where the Faceless Man originally was. A reef cliff on the seashore has disappeared, and the ground has sank several meters. The incredibly high temperature directly evaporated a large amount of sea water, or even annihilated it. The terrible shock wave set off huge waves of hundreds of meters, and the sand on the ground has been completely crystallized.
When the smoke dispersed, a 500-meter-diameter pit appeared at the center of the energy attack, and the bottom of the pit had turned into a glass-like substance. It seemed that the Faceless Man had been completely annihilated into ashes in the previous attack and disappeared.
But at this moment, there was a sound of crystal shattering coming from the pit, and then one by one the glass was torn apart, and the body of the Faceless Man appeared little by little.
Naturally, the Faceless Man was not killed in the saturation attack just now. After all, as a servant of the Ancient Gods, his flesh and blood body is extremely powerful and his vitality is astonishingly high.
The flesh, blood, and carapace on his body helped him block most of the attacks, but at the cost of his body being on the verge of death. His carapace had been shattered, and his flesh and blood had been annihilated by the powerful energy.
Although the Faceless Man looks miserable, he is still alive. His powerful vitality continues to make his flesh and blood split and grow. If given time, the Faceless Man will eventually return to his previous appearance.
It’s a pity that Richard won’t give him another chance!
——【Law of Truth·Death (Divine Enhancement + Time Gem + Reality Gem)! 】
Richard pointed at the Faceless Man lightly, and a powerful force of rules appeared on him. At this moment, Richard seemed to have turned into the god of death, and the Faceless Man, who was originally still tenacious, seemed to be frozen, and the next second the breath of life on his body quickly dissipated.
The Faceless Man had no power to resist and was directly deprived of all his vitality by Richard, and his body died completely. This scene was seen by Tyrande and Malfurion who rushed over.
Richard did not relax. The golden rune light rose and he grabbed the remains of the Faceless Man.
——【Soul Binding Technique! 】
The Faceless Man's twisted and hideous soul was directly bound by Richard, and then his soul was forcibly sealed. A divine crystal stone glowing with golden light fell into his palm.
"Thank you for the gift of nature!"
