22. Gul'dan: The End of the Road
Gul'dan was very surprised by the power that Gugal displayed in the critical moment, it was a power he had never seen before, more chaotic and mysterious than the evil power he mastered, full of an indescribable evil, a symphony of flesh and soul, that feeling of corrupting everything, made Gul'dan shudder a little, this thing looked much more dangerous than dealing with demons.
And this guy Gugar seems to be hiding a lot of things, he obviously pretended not to see Naga before, but at this time, he can call Naga in the dark sea to help in the war, which obviously means that the ogre has been deceiving Gul'dan, and the warlock's soul feels very uncomfortable, no one likes to be deceived, especially a guy like him who is very vigilant.
In the Naga's guards, the ogre took Guldan's soul all the way to fight and retreat, and finally followed the collapsed palace tunnel to a dark and damp crypt under the temple, which seemed to be the territory occupied by those Naga, and the deep part of the crypt was a tunnel into the deep sea, when the temple was sunk to the bottom of the sea, there should have been more Naga gathered here, but at this time the temple floated, which was equivalent to blocking the Naga's reinforcements.
Gugar sat cross-legged next to the pearls of the sea that the Naga adorned in the crypt, these large pearls glowed in the darkness and looked peculiar.
He held the soul stone in his hand and put it in front of his eyes, at this time Gugal no longer used that kind of honest expression to hide himself, his three eyes were filled with a strange light, he threw the powerful Sargeras scepter in his hand aside, this action made the orc soul in the soul stone silent for a while.
"Aren't you going to say something? Gul'dan. (Say it, let's talk about it, we're listening to it with the host!) )”
Gurgar asked, and a moment later Gul'dan 's voice rang out in the damp crypt:
"Your master... Who is it? Since when have you been subject to it? How much are you hiding from me? ”
There was an undisguised hostility in his voice, and it was clear that he had just come out of defeat, which had made all of Gul'dan's plans go down the drain, and no one would be in a good mood at this moment.
And in the face of Gul'dan's hostility, Gugar smiled indifferently, and both of his faces showed mockery and disdain.
"The name of the host cannot be said here! (You just need to know that their power is endless, and it's all around you!) )”
"They?"
Gul'dan snorted: "More than one? ”
"Of course, there are 4 of them! (Or 5 of them...) )”
Gugar scratched his head, his eyes blinked, and seeing that Guldan was full of suspicion, he began to introduce his master to the orc warlock:
"As early as in the world of Draenor, when I had just become your apprentice and was assigned by you to go to Voshugu in Nagrand to destroy the tomb of the orc ancestors, I felt the aura of my master's presence! (That's a dying, corrupted Naaru, the work of the power behind the master!) )”
"The moment I followed the Horde into Azeroth! (I hear the whisper of the master, and it's calling to me!) It has generously given me strength! )”
Gugal's hands were spread out, dark black fire rose in his left hand, distorted flashes of light danced in his right hand, and his ugly two faces looked sincere and solemn, muttering to himself like a madman:
"Tell me, Gul'dan, do you dream in your slumber? (Have you ever thought that it was just a dream, or was it an escape from the fear of reality?) )”
"In your world, the tormented souls of your ancestors have clung to you... I know (they scream silently, there are many of them.) )”
"They're like a school of fish! (The fish know all the secrets!) They know the cold, they know the dark. )”
"Guldan, look around you. (They're all going to betray you!) Scream and flee into the dark forest! )”
Gugal's voice was strange and low, and if a living person stood in front of him, hearing this strange whisper similar to a murmur, it would definitely make him look left and right in horror, but Gul'dan would not!
As a warlock in pursuit of endless power, he quickly awakened his will from the shame of defeat, and his soul hid in the soul stone, contemplating the proposal of Gugar, and it was clear that in the eyes of his mysterious master, his soul was valuable, and since it was valuable, if he wanted to sell himself, he could exchange this value for more benefits.
Gugal was nervous to himself, and he seemed to have given up on trying to persuade Guldan, although it was more likely that in Guldan's opinion, the already completely insane ogre was talking to his mysterious "master".
He's going crazy, which worries the Warlock... The owner of Gugal doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
"The instinct to fear the darkness and avoid the darkness is not unreasonable, which is engraved in the veins of our master! (There is not only darkness in the darkness, but also hungry beasts thirsting for lost souls!) )”
Gugar's gaze rested on the soul stone in his hand, and he playfully said:
"The eyes are the windows to the soul, Gul'dan... (To welcome the great master, close it forever, as long as you close your eyes, you can see them, they are watching you.) )”
A strange force seeped into the soul stone along Gugal's fingers, and Guldan's soul felt the pull of that strange power, and he hesitated a little, but in the end, he decided to respond to it!
Gugar is right, he can only play with fire and burn himself by continuing to use the power of the warlock when he is already regarded by the demon as an enemy and must kill him, and he must get new power before the demon finds him... Enough power to protect yourself!
"Buzz"
The pitch-black darkness unfolded in front of Gul'dan's soul, the oozing cold wrapped around his soul, Gul'dan felt as if he was alive again, he felt like he was in the icy water, and the next second, he jerked his head up, and he saw the pale, sickly light that was drumming on the deep sea, it was ominous.
A vague whisper sounded in Gul'dan's ears, and he tried to hear it clearly, but no matter how hard he tried, it was so faint that he could only continue to descend, towards the depths of the ocean.
A moment later, in Gul'dan's gaze, in the dark ocean floor, a dilapidated and grand ruined city came into view, and its lost glory could be seen just from the scale of its deep burial at the bottom of the sea, and in that terrifying darkness, thousands of snake-like shadows shuttled back and forth in the ruins.
That's the Naga... The lord of the deep is a servant of the unspeakable power, just like the Gugar.
"The city of Neorosa is full of ancient and terrible crimes. (In the sleepy city of Niolosa, only madness wanders.) )”
Gugar's murmur appeared in Gul'dan's ears, making the orc warlock's soul subconsciously turn its head to look, but behind it, there was nothing.
"Are you scared? (No, there's no need to be afraid...) Embrace the darkness and you will be reborn here! )”
Gul'dan wanted to say something, but in the end he could only fall silent, and at the urging of Gulgar, he fell towards the dark city with a hint of defense.
"Useless stars can dispel the chill to the bone. (The so-called light keeps people from trembling in the dark.) )”
"But they never know! (In the dark forest, they were like a lost lamb.) )”
"Tell me, are you having the same dream again? (The black sheep with seven eyes casts a blazing gaze from beyond the dream.) )”
"Look! Look at that! The raven's wary gaze wandered among the dead trees. (In its shadow, there's not a hint of breath here.) )”
"You and I will end up alone. (Go forward, Gul'dan, go forward with courage...) Eventually, you'll be just like me... Kneel in the darkness. )”
"Enough! Shut up! ”
Gul'dan could no longer stand the strange sound of Gugar's magic stick, and most importantly, even if he had only come to this strange place with his soul, he felt a trace of regret, perhaps it was better to die at the hands of the devil than to make this reckless decision he had made.
But... There is no turning back.
Gul'dan looked back, and where he had come, there was only a nonsensical darkness, not even a glimmer of light.
And when his soul walked into the dark city with a trembling gesture, the whispers that rang in his ears finally became clear, which made Gul'dan feel a sense of joy and joy that he had never felt before.
He listened to the voice.
"All should be surrendered to you, Gul'dan, you have given so much for power... In the end, he returned empty-handed. ”
"You've achieved great things, but you still have to lick the boots of the rude king, are you really willing to go back to that life?"
Guldan's soul stood in darkness, and he didn't know how to answer the voice, which didn't need his answer.
"Embrace your anger. Accept your fears. Enjoy your hatred. Voice your concerns. ”
The dark tentacles appeared from the ground, from the water, from the air, and wrapped around Gul'dan's soul little by little, the kind of disgusting touch like a mollusk, which made Gul'dan tremble in his skin, made Gul'dan rarely feel a little afraid, but in the end, he remembered his situation again...
He's at the end of his rope, he's at the end of his rope...
So, he spread out his arms and, as Gugar said, completely... Embrace the darkness.
The will was very pleased with this submissive gesture of Gul'dan, and it seemed to be very pleased with this soul as well.
"When you're alone in the Black Forest, you understand... Look, I can taste your soul, it's so delicious. ”
"Everything in the world submits to the false order, they hate our existence, but it doesn't matter, you have to be kind to them, they and you will one day know that they are just your lost compatriots, and they will eventually return to their masters..."
Gul'dan can't hear it anymore... His soul was surrounded by darkness, but there was no longer the coldness and exhaustion of the past, on the contrary, he was like returning to his infant years, lying in his mother's warm womb, he was so tired, he longed for rest, and when he opened his eyes again, he would receive the gift of this void, he would receive a new birth of flesh and blood.
At this time, outside of this strange dream, Gurgar put the shining soul stone in his hand into the disgusting flesh and blood under his feet, those flesh and blood seemed to appear from the void, they were entrenched together, forming a terrifying cocoon, wrapping Guldan's soul stone little by little, like a terrifying egg that gave birth to life, the ogre took a few steps back, looking at the flesh and blood cocoon in front of him.
"This is the gift of the master (death cannot stop the void!) It can't stop us either! )”
"Wake up quickly, Gul'dan (we will leave this useless land, we will go to another continent...) )”
"In the vast yellow sand, the god of the abyss, who has been silent for thousands of years, is waiting for us. (We're going to unleash it, and it's going to reshape the world, and we're going to be rewarded for it!) )”
The sound of battle outside the lair has become more and more violent, and the demons have discovered this secret passage underwater, and they are slaughtering the Naga in an attempt to find it and tear Gul'dan's soul apart.
But the barrier set by the human mage Egwene is reviving little by little, and the number of demons emerging from the warped void is getting smaller and smaller, even if they have filled the temple, but it doesn't matter.
Everything that exists here means nothing to Gugar, as a believer in the god of the abyss, he only believes in chaos and the power of flesh and blood, and when Gul'dan awakens, they will leave, let the demons continue to kill, anyway, the number of naga in the deep sea is endless, and their queen does not care about this loss.
"Hey, hey, hey, (there's no better time than this.) )”
Gugar let out a nervous laugh as he sat cross-legged in the darkness with his head moving, and began to contemplate his evil plans for the future.
While Gul'dan was about to be reborn, at the other end of the temple, the Death Knight, who was wandering through the darkness, finally found what he wanted.
He looked at the glittering rune gem floating in the hall in front of him, and the monstrous demons guarding the gem, Tyrion's finger moved, and then silently returned to the darkness.
There are more and more demons in the tomb of Sargeras, and Tyrion feels that it is time for him to summon the army buried here, and the hunting and searching in the dark have tired him, and it is time to use the undead to his advantage and completely drown everything with numbers.
