Malfurion continued to change his form, traveling through the nightmare-tainted woodlands.
Almost half of the sky in Val'sharah was shrouded in red and black clouds. Walking among the earth, Malfurion could always feel the nightmare trying to assimilate him.
He passed countless village chiefs who were destroyed by nightmare monsters on the road, but the anger in Malfurion's heart settled down. He had realized that this was not an accidental nightmare, but a premeditated attack.
The mastermind behind the scenes still had not appeared in front of him, but Malfurion had already speculated that only Xavius, the cancer in the Emerald Dream, could trigger such a large-scale nightmare.
Although Xavius was sealed in an oak tree by him thousands of years ago and used the power of dreams to permanently suppress him, Xavius somehow got on the line of the Ancient God.
Since then, Xavius has become a disgusting cancer that is always present in nightmares, but they cannot let this guy go, otherwise no one will be able to restrain Xavius after entering the real world.
But I never thought that even the Emerald Dream could not completely suppress Xavius's evil power. Instead, the Emerald Dream was now contaminated by him, even affecting reality.
As the group of demigods with the deepest ties to the Emerald Dream, Malfurion's mentors bore the brunt of Xavius's scourge.
Malfurion's stag fell in the center of the ruined village, and he returned to his human form.
This was the place where he could feel the deepest impact of the nightmare, and he firmly believed that he could find that damn bastard Xavius here.
"Come out, Xavius! I know you're hiding here!"
Malfurion's loud shouts of anger spread throughout the forest, and chilling whimpering sounds could be heard from the collapsed wooden houses.
There was a rustling sound, and the squirming monsters came out of the darkness. When Malfurion saw those ugly monsters with the remains of night elves mixed in, the rising anger almost made Malfurion's last breath. Calmness breaks down instantly.
These wriggling nightmare creatures are the scariest nightmares in reality!
They devour the residents and life here to fill their bodies and increase their strength.
Malfurion's anger was almost equal to the anger of nature. Under the guidance of the Archdruid's power, the surrounding trees began to shake, and the entire forest echoed Malfurion's call.
But halfway through casting the spell, Malfurion's expression changed, and he immediately stopped guiding nature and stopped his movements.
——The forest here is too polluted by nightmares. Although he can still control the forest to vent the anger of nature, he himself may also be corrupted.
This made Malfurion give up the idea of using the power of the forest to destroy these nightmare creatures. He transformed into a giant bear and slapped a nightmare creature that wanted to approach him to the ground.
A heavy force attached to the bear's paw, splashing juices from the nightmare creature's body, but it seemed as if it had not been harmed. The scattered body began to move along the huge body transformed by Malfurion. The bear squirmed on its front paws.
Malfurion flicked his claws and threw the twisted nightmare creature away, completely destroying a crumbling house. However, more nightmare creatures came from all directions.
Their number seemed endless, crawling out from the ruins of the house, the shadows behind the trees, and the filthy water of the moonwell. Malfurion's bear face also became serious.
"Hehehehe!"
Just when Malfurion was surrounded by nightmares, his all-too-familiar laughter appeared in his ears.
After Malfurion heard this sound, the giant bear roared, "Xavius?!"
"Malfurion, I'm really happy to see you, and what makes me even more happy is that I have another distinguished guest. Guess who it is?"
Xavius's eerie laughter continued to echo in the forest. Malfurion dealt with the nightmare creatures around him, trying not to be affected by Xavius's influence.
He knew that whether Xavius was before he became a satyr or after he became a satyr, playing with people's hearts has always been his special skill.
Unfortunately, when a familiar voice sounded, Malfurion couldn't calm down instantly. His eyes were bloodshot and he let out a deafening roar. His sharp claws tore the two monsters into pieces in an instant.
He angrily rushed into a forest of red mist, completely ignoring that this was enemy territory.
However, after Malfurion left, those nightmare monsters slowly melted into the ground, and the whole town returned to its previous tranquility.
There was no sound echoing here, and the house that collapsed just now was strangely restored. Only the depression made by Malfurion's first wave of claws remained on the ground.
In the entire forest, there was only the sound of running water and wind.
…
"Ysera, it's great that you can come here. The Temple of the Moon is almost in an isolated and helpless situation." Priestess Tyrande was a little lucky. "Our allies are in trouble because of the Burning Legion. Now, we still have There is facing the Nightmare King and his monsters."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Tyrande looked up at the corrupted tree that covered the sky and let out a long sigh.
"Val'sharah and the Emerald Dream suffered heavy losses, Shaladrassil also fell, and most importantly... the Tears of the Moon God also disappeared."
The priests and guards of the Moon Temple were also a little depressed and sad. The forest of Val'sharah had been peaceful for countless centuries, and this sudden change caught everyone by surprise.
Some druids have already studied the stems spread out by Saradrassil, and the message those thorn-like roots gave them is that the corruption of Saradrassil cannot be removed.
Most of the druids who knew the news burst into tears. Sharadassil was the earliest World Tree planted in the world, even older than Nordrassil. These druids also came to Saradassil. I have been with you for countless years.
For them, Saradrassil has surpassed the role and symbol of the World Tree itself. Druids who are close to nature regard it as a child and friend, and the younger ones regard it as an elder.
"Tears and sorrow cannot solve the dilemma we face," Tyrande looked at Ysera, "We must find Malfurion and then destroy Xavius. This is the only way to remove corruption."
It was also the first time that Tyrande faced such a large area of the real world suffering from nightmare corruption. She found that even the blessing of the moon god Elune could not dispel the curse that enveloped Val'sharah, but could only delay the progress of the corruption.
The Temple of the Moon is the first and last line of defense outside of Saradrassil. If they fail to end this before the Temple of the Moon is lost, all of Val'sharah will be swallowed by the nightmare.
And this means that the Azeroth Alliance will fight against the Nightmare Army and the Burning Legion at the same time. They are already stretched thin just facing one of them, and they really cannot bear such a situation.
At the same time, without Val'sharah and the Tears of Elune, they are unable to seal the open Tomb of Sargeras. The Burning Legion can appear in any corner of Azeroth at any time.
"We must seize the time and act quickly. The longer we delay, the more dangerous the situation for Val'sharah and Malfurion will be." Ysera glanced at the sky covered by dark clouds. "I will go to the sky to collect information. This paladin will help you find Malfurion."
Arthas, who covered his face with a mask, nodded slightly. Due to the sensitivity of his identity, he did not intend to reveal his identity in front of everyone.
Tyrande looked at Arthas, who looked ordinary and even his armor was covered. "I believe in Ysera's judgment. Warrior, please come with me to find Malfurion. He is the one who will end our journey to save Savi." The key to Sri Lanka’s conspiracy.”
After leaving the Temple of the Moon, Tyrande carried the long bow Elune Tara, and rushed to the depths of the corrupted forest with Arthas. The priestess said to Arthas, "The Tears of Elune are stored in Lishara." In the temple not far from the roots of the Dashil tree, we should be able to find some clues there."
Arthas shook his head when he heard this. He took off the mask on his face, took out the Ashbringer, and changed back to the knight's dress, and Lordaeron's standard armor was also revealed.
"Priestess, we don't have time to play hide-and-seek with Xavius. One minute every night, the archdruid's situation will be more dangerous. Come with me, the Holy Light has told me where Xavius is hiding. place."
