Xavius thought for a while, and finally could only define Arthas' possible strength based on the level of the Lich King, but he didn't find it too difficult.
Because Xavius' main target has been Ysera from the beginning, Tyrande is just a second choice target. If it doesn't work out, as long as he can successfully corrupt the Green Dragon Queen, he will sneak back to the Emerald Nightmare with Malfurion .
In the real plane, he is just a projection of his true self. If Arthas dares to enter the Emerald Nightmare, Xavius will not be afraid of the "Lich King".
Thinking of this, Xavius felt a little more at ease. If Arthas' strength exceeded his expectations, all he had to do was let the nightmare army surge out and hold Arthas back.
In the end, his eyes turned to the Tears of the Moon God beside him.
The originally brilliant blue gemstone has been completely eroded by the nightmare and turned into dark red. The dark red nightmare mist wraps around and dissipates around the gemstone like a breath.
Malfurion was imprisoned aside. Looking at the contaminated Tears of the Moon, he felt quite uneasy. He wasn't quite sure what Xavius was going to do with this artifact, but it was definitely not a good thing.
Fortunately, the Tears of the Moon God itself are not offensive and are only used as sacrificial items in the Temple of the Moon. Of course, this gem contains the blessing of the Moon God Elune, but it should have been distorted by now.
However, just treating the Tears of the Moon God as a source of corruption is dangerous enough.
Xavius solemnly put away the contaminated nightmare gem, and his shadow disappeared in front of Malfurion's eyes again. Malfurion let out a long sigh, and it was coming again——
Sure enough, the thorns wrapped around him dragged him into the ground again. Although the suffocation and squeezing sensation was not fatal, it made the weak Malfurion even more uncomfortable.
With the disappearance of Xavius, the entire Black Heart Forest seemed to fall into an eerie silence, but not long after, rustling sounds came from the dark red jungle, which looked like dried blood.
The nightmare has awakened.
…
Arthas was silent for a moment, "Ms. Tyrande, we have to speed up. This forest has become restless."
Tyrande didn't understand what "restlessness" meant at first, but after thinking about the houses, wooden piles and even signs that seemed to have their own thoughts and lives after being eroded by nightmares, she suddenly understood what Arthas meant. .
However, the priestess stopped after taking two steps forward. Her expression became solemn, "No, Arthas, we don't need to move forward. That guy is already here."
Arthas held the Ashbringer's fingers tightly for a moment, and his attention immediately began to become concentrated.
Tyrande's ears twitched, as if catching the message brought by the wind - in addition to being Elune's most devout priest, she was also the top hunter.
Among the messages in the wind, the strong sound of flapping wings and the breathing of the dragon reached her ears.
It was Ysera. She was worried about the safety of the two of them, so she also came here. This made Tyrande feel a little more at ease. With Ysera's help -
etc? !
Outside of the message, Tyrande felt a strange yet familiar wave. It was... the Tears of Elune?
But why is that power so depraved and filthy? Is it because the nightmare has contaminated the moon god's sacred object? !
The roar caused by the flying dragon and the foul smell of the gem seemed to be connected in a line. Tyrande suddenly felt that he was getting more and more nervous and uneasy. This was a sign of what was about to happen.
However, this feeling similar to revelation and intuition only vaguely emerged in Tyrande's heart, but those vague shadows could not give her accurate information.
Tyrande knew that now was no longer the time to hesitate. She moved nimbly in the forest until the moment she rushed out of the jungle, she saw the ugly Xavius and the Stone of Elune in his hand. tears.
At this time, Ysera had swooped down from mid-air, her mouth filled with green sparks, but Xavius showed a weird smile at this, and the Tears of Elune in his hand began to spin rapidly.
"Uh-huh!"
The Tears of Elune shot out from Xavius' hand with a dark red taillight, spinning and aiming at Ysera's chest.
Tyrande drew the bowstring with quick eyes and hands, and an arrow made of moonlight was placed on the bow. With the lingering sound after the bowstring was stretched, a moonlight arrow flew towards the Tears of Elune in mid-air.
Ysera also realized Xavius's purpose, and she quickly wanted to stop her flight. However, her diving speed was too fast, and even if she wanted to adjust, it could not be done instantly.
Tyrande's arrow accurately intercepted the flight path of Tears of the Moon, but an owl parasitized and distorted by the nightmare flew out of nowhere and blocked the arrow for Tears of the Moon.
At this time, Tyrande had no time to shoot the second arrow. Tears of the Moon saw that it had flown nearly two-thirds of the way and was about to hit Ysera.
At the critical moment, waves of holy light shook around Tyrande. As soon as she turned her head to look, she found that Arthas had turned into golden light and soared into the sky.
Half of the cliff Alsace was standing on was collapsed by the force of his leap. The golden trajectory crossed half of the sky, blocking Ysera and the Fallen Saint with tears of the moon god and moonlight arrows. in the middle of things.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound, the Ashbringer slammed into the Tears of the Moon God. The holy object was knocked away directly and fell towards the ground on the other side. At the same time, Arthas created a cage of holy light, trapping the moon. The Tear of God was locked to the ground, making Xavius unable to control the gem.
When Xavius saw Arthas in mid-air, he was stunned for two seconds. He asked Malfurion, who was tied up next to him, "Can humans...jump so high?"
Malfurion looked up at Alsace, who had almost jumped to the same height as Ysera, and his eyes widened, "No... it's impossible for normal humans."
He originally thought that to block Tyrande's arrows, Arthas, as a strong melee combatant, would not be able to deal with the Tears of the Moon in mid-air. Even if he tried to block it with holy light or something, he could still use nightmare creatures. Easy interception.
But Alsace's reaction was completely beyond Xavius's imagination, so much so that when Alsace slashed away the Tears of the Moon God with his sword, he had not yet reacted.
What confuses everyone even more is that Alsace's figure in mid-air actually reversed its direction in the burst of holy light, and like a falling star, it rapidly descended towards where Xavius was standing.
Xavius had just recovered from Alsace's shocking move, and Alsace's sword had almost landed on his head.
Xavius, danger!
