12. Wake up

In Karazhan's dark crypt, the Death Knight observes the new weapon in his hand.

He held this "magic sword" in his hand, the hilt of the apocalypse was wrapped with a green strip of cloth, and it would not slip, he shook the heavy sword in his hand, the center of gravity was very suitable, whether it was slashing or blocking, it was extremely easy, his fingers brushed over the blade, and a dark light lingered on the blade.

"Huh"

With a flick of his hand, a faint blade of death energy flew out of the blade, slicing a crack in the dusty and cobweb-covered walls.

This magic sword is also extremely perfect for the transmission of energy.

"It's a pity..."

The Death Knight shook his head, put the silent sword back into the wooden box in front of him, took something out of the storage ring, and looked back at Lady Egwene:

"Did you stop halfway through the story? Ma'am, it's a bad habit to hang people's appetites. ”

Magna. Egwene glanced at what Tyrion was holding, and she coughed lightly as she continued her story with Apocalypse.

"That was nearly a hundred years ago, when Neras and I first met."

The lady recalled the story of that year, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light:

"You should know the contradiction between me and the Council of Tirisfa, this organization used to be great and pure, and existed to protect the order of the wizarding world, but unfortunately, at the end of my year, it was finally corrupted by power, and they tried to interfere with the order of the human kingdom with the power in their hands, and I was unwilling to participate in it, so I left."

"They have repeatedly asked me to return to the Council of Tirisph, but I know that those old men are eager to strangle me, and what they want is the powerful magic in my body from the former guardian, and I refuse to obey, so the people who come to me have changed from acquaintances to dangerous mage hunters, a group of killers and assassins specially trained by the Council of Tirisfa to hunt down mages who do evil."

"As far as I know, Neras. Mr. Elan was once one of these mage hunters, and he was the most powerful and ruthless of them all. ”

The Death Knight leaned against the stone platform, a strange smile on his face, he crossed his arms, looked at the lady in front of him, and let out a low laugh:

"When he finally fell under your long dress, it seemed that Lady Egwene was not only powerful, but also amazingly attractive."

Egwene glanced at the Death Knight casually, and she said with a cold face:

"Is this a mockery? Interrupting other people's stories casually, is this how elves chat? ”

"No, no, no, it's a compliment from the heart!"

The Death Knight shrugged, turned around, and placed the item in his hand on the skull pendant on the hilt of the Apocalypse, and he glanced back at Egwene:

"Go on with your story, I'm listening."

"My husband, Elan, was indeed one of the mage hunters who hunted me down."

Lady Egwene glared fiercely at Tyrion, took a deep breath, and continued:

"But he was also suspicious of the actions of the Council of Tirisfa, he drove me into a corner several times, and our love affair began with mutual admiration, but after Elan learned the true purpose of the Council of Tirisfa, he broke away from the rotten organization, which directly caused the old men to become angry."

"They set up an organization called the Tyrius Mystic Society..."

Egwen's brow furrowed:

"Those madmen, in order to capture me and Elan, even handed over the dangerous artifacts sealed by the Guardians of the past to those well-trained hunters, including the Apocalypse... And I seriously doubt that they would do this crazy act because the apocalypse was quietly influencing their minds. ”

"The infection of this magic sword to the hearts of mortals is extremely terrifying, after all, it was not forged for mortals in the first place, it was given to a Les. Shaal's fellow, that's Elan's former comrade-in-arms, I've beaten him more than once, but I know that it's just a young man who has been indoctrinated with twisted justice, and he's not hopeless, until the moment he picks up the apocalypse..."

The Guardian Lady let out a long sigh as she looked up at Tyrion.

"Have you ever been to the Badlands?"

The Death Knight shook his head, it was a land between the dwarf-controlled Kazmodan and the orc-controlled Burning Plains, but the game often went to it, it was a haunted place that was uninhabited and controlled by all sorts of beasts and rude ogres.

"In my time, the barren land was not called that name, and many immigrants from the north went there to pioneer the land, and they built many small villages, and the fire of civilization was born there... But the apocalypse ruined there, Les. There Shar followed my trails, and everywhere he went, lies and suspicions swept away like a flood of simple inhabitants, who began to attack like wild beasts that had lost their minds in famine and pestilence. ”

"Rice. Shahr was there for half a month, and all the villages were destroyed ... Few people are immune to that man-made catastrophe! ”

Egwene seemed to remember the tragic situation, and her body shook a little.

"I wasn't in the Badlands at the time, but I quickly got word of the tragedy from the Rangers of the Stormwind Kingdom."

"There is a rumor among the refugees who have escaped and have gone insane... I think you should listen to it. ”

"The Nameless Knight wielding the Ominous Sword brings destruction."

"He rode on a white horse, and in the shadows, the eyes of the white horse burned with flames."

"Everywhere he goes, calamity follows him like a shadow!"

"The crops withered, and madness ran rampant."

"Disease is raging, famine is everywhere."

"He is war, he is death, he is pestilence, he is famine!"

Egwene read the story in a strange tone, and as she looked at the Death Knight, she whispered:

"I drove to the barren land, and in the midst of a plague-ridden ruin, I saw Les. Shar, he knelt in the flames, holding the magic sword in both hands, as if praying to it, the man had no soul, and there was something darker, deeper hidden in his shell, and even the slightest glance would make people shudder..."

"My spells are useless to him, the magic sword that has absorbed enough soul is protecting him, and even when I finally seriously injure him, he only needs to swing the sword, and the dead who have died tragically from the plague he spread will stand up and fight for him... The sword almost pierced my body until I used the power of the Guardian to cut off the magic sword and Les. The connection of Schar..."

The Guardian Lady gritted her teeth, and she whispered:

"I destroyed part of Shar's soul, and the sharp pain caused him to drop the magic sword in his hand, and he was sober in pain, and when he saw what he had done, he completely broke down... Can you imagine? A true genius, who, in an instant, felt as if his spine had been broken, and he howled and fled like a madman, and I didn't chase him. ”

"There is no need to chase it anymore, after losing the apocalypse, he is no longer a threat to this world."

Egwene sighed, and looked at the magic sword apocalypse with a strange light mixed with fear:

"I wrapped the magic sword in arcane magic, and after seeing its manipulation of the human heart, I had no confidence that I could resist its temptation, I threw it into the flames of the center of the Black Rock Mountain, but even the scorching magma that gushed out of the center of the earth could not destroy it, so I sealed it in the ruins of the barren land with 7 seals... I thought that would be enough, and I was confident that no one would be able to break through my seal and find it. ”

"But I miscalculated... Rice. Shar's fate is over, he fled to Stormwind, no longer uses spells, and lives like an ordinary small businessman, marrying and having children, but his son... Eredin, the leader of the three Black Knights you just killed, the hapless merchant who tried to deceive my son, finally found the sword and brought it back to Karazhan on the orders of Sargeras. ”

When the Guardian Lady's story was finished, she stood up and walked over to the Death Knight, looking down at the magic sword that glowed in the faint light, and whispered:

"This is the Apocalypse, it has never been a samurai wielding it, Tyrion, and if it is tainted with its doom, it will even harm your children and grandchildren."

"It is constantly harvesting the soul of the sword-wielder, and once you become weak, it will not hesitate to turn around and devour you... In those dark times, many people sought it, but the Apocalypse never had a true owner! It will not be subordinated to anyone ... Wait, what are you doing? Who is in this soul stone? ”

Egwene watched as Tyrion placed a soul stone on the skull carving of the hilt, she asked subconsciously, and the death knight clenched his left hand, and an ice dagger appeared in his hand, he looked at the soul stone in front of him, and he whispered:

"You've fought it more than once, haven't you heard?"

This inherently unfinished remark puzzled Ms. Egwen, and she asked:

"Hear what?"

"It's wailing... It's hungry, it's thirsty for powerful souls, it's thirsty for blood, don't you hear? ”

Tyrion turned his head to look at Lady Egwene, a cold smile on his lips, and the icy dagger in his hand stabbed down.

"Bang"

The soul stone was completely shattered by this blow, and the powerful soul of the seal in it screamed and rushed into the air, the green spirit screaming in the air, its face contorted in extreme hatred.

"Tyrion! I'll kill you! ”

Gul'dan's soul roared and pounced on the Death Knight, Lady Egwene subconsciously waved her hand, the arcane light beating in her palm, but it was pulled by Tyrion's reach, he watched Gul'dan's soul pounce on him with teeth and claws, but just before the cold claws touched his face, a huge dark magic burst behind the soul.

"Boom"

The black power formed a twisted web in the air, and it was like a demon's claw, clinging to this powerful, angry, unwilling soul, like some kind of higher predator, pulling the soul of Gul'dan back into the humming and beating blade little by little.

Gul'dan seemed to sense his fate, his distorted face shone with undisguised horror, and he struggled desperately in this dark web, screaming:

"Nope! No! Don't let it come near me, no! I'm willing to obey, I'm willing to obey you, don't! ”

"Help me!"

"Hehe, your soul is still somewhat useful, and it seems that you are very much in line with its appetite..."

The Death Knight calmly watched everything in front of him, he stood still, while Lady Egwene took a step back, the former Guardian clearly sensed the frenzied agitation of the silent Demon Sword Apocalypse in front of her, and she watched with some unease as Gul'dan's soul was swallowed up little by little by the power of the sword's entanglement.

"Click, click"

Like a greedy glutton, chewing on delicious bones, in the entanglement of dark power, the creepy chewing sound surged in the dark whirlpool, and with the weakening of Guldan's soul little by little, the dark energy wrapped around the blade became more expanded, until finally, the obscure sword body of the Apocalypse, along with the entire stone platform, was enveloped.

"What is this doing! What the hell are you doing! ”

Egwene grabbed Tyrion's arm, feeling the dark power in the cellar that had swelled to dangerous levels, and she asked sharply:

"What the hell did you do!"

The Death Knight snapped the Guardian Lady's fingers away from his arm, and he stepped forward, reaching out to hold the expanding dark cocoon in front of him, and whispered:

"I just..."

"Woke it up... That's all. ”

"Boom"

The moment Tyrion's fingers touched the dark power, the expanding ball of dark light rolled in all directions and burst into crazy dark sparks, piercing the walls around the crypt in an instant, and the space in front of Egwen's eyes pulsed. Elan's ghostly body appeared before her, reaching out to open a thick curtain of arcane light for the two of them.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The dark energy pounded like a war hammer on this arcane light curtain, but it could not hurt Archmage Elam and his wife, until ten seconds later, the dark storm of the riot finally stopped, and the crypt cellar full of goods in Karazan had been destroyed, if it were not for the powerful magic power here, I am afraid this cellar would have collapsed long ago.

"You monster! What the hell are you..."

Neras's voice sounded in the darkness, but the next moment, the voice he wanted to scold was cut off.

In the darkness in front of him, Tyrion stood in front of the shattered stone platform, death energy surging over his body, forming two beating illusory black batwing wings behind him, and in his hands it was as if he was holding a dark storm, the magic sword apocalypse was as the death knight said, as if it had been completely awakened.

The entire metal of its sword seemed to shatter, and the sharp metal shell turned into something like a black bone under the surge of dark red energy, wrapping the entire sword, and the hideous bone spurs protruding from the blade, and the eyes of the dull skeleton on the hilt lit up with red light, and white vertebrae extending to decorate the sword body.

And at the front of the blade, what the black bones can't wrap is made of pure energy, a curved blade similar to a tomahawk, bent upward, accompanied by the flow of death energy, the light on the blade of the tomahawk flows, like molten iron, and when Tyrion swings it, the roar is enough to shock people's hearts.

It's not so much a sword as it wakes up and turns into a hideous evil machete.

Neras. Elan and Magna. Egwene could clearly hear the hum of the magic sword in the air, it was evil, it was a dark roar, as if it was celebrating his awakening and rebirth.

"Click"

The heavy sword was carried behind the death knight, he moved his neck, the bones clashed and made a clicking sound, he looked back at the two masters of Karazhan in the darkness, a defensive and treacherous light flashed in his eyes, but the next moment, the death knight became harmless:

"I'm happy with this reward, as long as you can stop those pesky bronze dragons, I'll save Lothar for you..."

"Happy working together!"
