With the blessing of Neptulon's power, Hydraxis, the Duke of the Water Element, expanded to a size that was one third as large as the Fire Demon King.
Just like that, standing in front of Hydraxis, everyone could feel the power of the surging tide in his body.
Especially Jaina, with her special background and her own study of magic, she knows better than others how powerful Hydraxis is now.
In front of Hydraxis's body of pure water, which was tens of meters tall, everyone except Alsace felt insignificant from the bottom of their hearts.
However, the power and shocking feeling exuded by Hydraxis is far inferior to that of the real elemental lord, Ragnaros, the Fire Demon King.
The Fire Demon King's huge body, which is probably one or two hundred meters high, almost fills the wide underground cave. Moreover, perhaps this elemental lord can become even larger, but it is only because of the limitations of the cave that it maintains such a size.
However, Ragnaros was busy dealing with the seawater pouring into his throne at the moment, and he had not yet noticed the water elements that he considered "weak", let alone Alsace and his party.
Magni grinned and waved the Fearbreaker up and down in his hand, "I actually imagined it to be big enough... but seeing it with my own eyes is still very impressive."
Solas raised his head, looked at the huge Fire Demon King, and kept thinking, if such an opponent appeared on the battlefield, how should he deal with it?
Is it with armies, artillery, steam tanks, or perhaps an army of mages?
After some random thinking, Solas had to admit that no matter how he dealt with Ragnaros, he felt that his chances of winning were slim.
As Alsace said, this is already beyond the upper limit of an ordinary army, or simply relying on numbers. If you want to destroy the Fire Demon King, you must find a way to target his weaknesses.
"It's really spectacular." Sylvanas held the longbow and observed Ragnaros from bottom to top. I have to say that the impact of this king of elements is greater than that of the black dragon Nefarian. Much bigger.
Unfortunately, such a being is their enemy.
Noticing the arrival of Arthas and others, Duke Hydraxis's voice changed somewhat. He spoke with a hint of nervousness and urgency, "Arthas, the power of this incarnation of Ragnaros exceeds ours." His minions have hindered our progress and prevented the sea from flooding this place."
After suffering the impact of the first wave, although a considerable number of the Fire Lord's minions were destroyed in their physical form, they were exiled from the real world and returned to their elemental plane.
But after calming down, the fire elements immediately organized a formation to block the entry of the waves as much as possible.
In order to prevent the seawater from spreading further, they even sacrificed their lives to create a higher temperature environment. It was not to evaporate the seawater, but to let the mountains above melt and collapse, cutting off the influx of seawater.
Duke Hydraxis has inspired the power given to him by Neptulon. He has gone all out to suppress the momentum of the fire elements and suppressed the originally rising temperature. The water elements emerging from the ocean have also Trembling with the fire elements.
However, when the Fire Lord appeared, the situation was instantly reversed. Hydraxis' power was unable to penetrate into the core of the Fire Lord's body.
Hydraxis had suppressed the fire elemental army with all his strength. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could confront Ragnaros, but he never expected that the incarnation of the Fire Lord was more powerful than he imagined. There are much more.
Just the moment Ragnaros appeared, the area that was originally a body of water instantly turned into a scorching hell with high temperatures. The cooled rock had a tendency to melt again in just a few minutes.
After Ragnaros woke up, he didn't even look at Hydraxis, and directly used his own power to fight against the entire ocean that invaded the Molten Core.
Shockingly, Ragnaros's power still prevailed in this confrontation.
The seawater that originally drove straight in encountered an insurmountable obstacle for the first time. It could not penetrate Ragnaros' domain. It was evaporated and forced back in an instant, and the rocks melted into magma again, which began to compress the area of the water in reverse.
Hydraxis has tried his best to summon the water element to fight against the power of Ragnaros? But the flames of the Fire Lord are still eating away at the water element's foothold in the Molten Heart.
Once the Fire Demon King completes this task, he will have enough strength and energy to find a way to interrupt the gap between the ocean and the mountains? Use his own power to cause another terrain change? This will completely end the water element's influence. offensive.
When Hydraxis told all these things to the five people who entered the Molten Core? Except for Arthas, everyone else's expressions immediately became serious.
If the Fire Demon King really frees his hands, I am afraid that he will suffer revenge before the Alliance troops withdraw from the Burning Plains.
No one wants to let their soldiers compete with the spread of magma, volcanic ash and earthquakes.
"Is there a solution?" Jaina asked Hydraxis. "We cannot sit here and wait for death."
Hydraxis thought briefly and said categorically, "Yes, that is to distract Ragnaros or weaken his power. As long as he cannot stop the influx of seawater, wait until the sea completely submerges the molten metal." Heart of Fire, there is nothing to fear about Ragnaros who has lost his source of power!"
This is a weakness that all elemental creatures have, even the elemental lords are no exception. Without strong enough elemental power as support, even Ragnaros cannot exert much strength.
If the sea water really completely extinguishes the flames of the Molten Core and floods this area, Ragnaros' power will inevitably be greatly weakened.
Moreover, even if he wanted to mobilize power from the Land of Fire, it would be impossible, because after being submerged by the ocean, this place is equivalent to Neptulon's domain, and Ragnaros, even if he is the Fire Demon King, has to go back a little.
However, this seemingly simple and direct method is actually more difficult to operate than imagined.
"So in the end we still have to fight this exaggerated guy?" Magni accepted the answer with relief.
"It seems inevitable."
The light of dawn formed a warhammer in Arthas's hands, and Frostmourne began to accumulate strength. In fact, he had originally planned to do this, but now he had a few more helpers.
"Then are you ready?" Arthas moved his arms and neck. "We have to let this flame roll back to his world."
Alsace's words received two pairs of eye rolls from the ladies and a roar of laughter from Magni, "Of course you are ready, otherwise why would we come with you? I should have run away with the others!"
Looking at the five members of the alliance gearing up, the light in Hydraxis's eyes flashed for a moment, and he said to Jaina, "Little mage, come here."
Jaina walked up to Hydraxis with some doubts, ready to listen to the next words of the water elemental Duke.
"Raise your staff and I will give you my master's power."
Jaina looked at Arthas with some uncertainty, then turned to Hydraxis, "Won't this affect your ability to maintain the momentum of the sea water?"
Hydraxis shook his head, "It is my ability to drive the tide. Now I am trapped here by the trouble caused by Ragnaros. The power given to me by the Tide Hunter cannot be fully used. I might as well leave it to you. Used when fighting the Fire Lord."
After hearing what Hydraxis said, Jaina nodded and raised her staff. Small streams of water poured out of Hydraxis' chest, condensing into a ball of crystal clear water on his chest.
This water ball, which is nothing compared to the huge body of Hydraxis, contains pure water that even Jaina has never seen. The rotating vortex in the water ball is constantly exuding powerful power.
"Such a rich life force." Sylvanas opened her eyes wide. Even from a distance, she could clearly feel the fluctuations in the ball of pure water.
It was an instinctive desire from every cell and organ in her body, just like a thirsty person with clean water in front of them, eager to drink it all in one gulp.
Magni and Solas also feel the same way, especially Solas. As a human, he has entered his twilight years. Although he still has a tenacious soul and outstanding fighting skills, he cannot get rid of his old body. of.
Now, just looking at the water essence from the Tide Hunter, he felt relaxed from the inside out.
"Hold tight."
After making preparations, Hydraxis sent this blessing into Jaina's staff. The crystal on the tip of the staff began to greedily grab the gift from the water element lord.
Jaina clearly sensed that this staff, which was already made of top-notch materials, was undergoing some kind of transformation.
There seems to be some kind of power sprouting in the staff.
Although a mage's spellcasting does not necessarily rely on powerful magic weapons, the increase in magic caused by various magic weapons is indeed obvious, and those magic weapons that have excellent compatibility with the caster are the treasures that every mage dreams of.
Almost all the famous mages in the history of Azeroth have staffs that are very compatible with them.
The staff in Jaina's hand was a gift given to her by her mentor Antonidas. This staff may not be one of the most powerful magic weapons, but after so many years of exploration and use by Jaina, it is definitely the one she knows best. weapons.
Arthas was originally thinking about finding a handy weapon for Jaina, but now it seemed that it was no longer needed.
After Jaina's staff received the blessing from Neptulon, the blue light in the crystal on the top of the staff flashed and disappeared. She held her staff and learned a lot of new knowledge. .
She pushed the staff hard onto the ground and murmured an ancient and mysterious language.
A wave-like blue halo slowly swayed from the tip of the staff and passed through the bodies of everyone present. This blessing from the power of pure water immediately poured into the bodies of Jaina's allies.
Neptulon's blessing shook the spirits of several people. Sylvanas seemed to have a tacit understanding, and her figure jumped out like a butterfly and landed on the water. Just as she thought, she who had received the blessing could Walking on flat ground above the waves.
Not only that, everyone's physical fitness has been improved to a considerable extent. This blessing will continue to exist until Jaina's magic power or physical strength is exhausted.
"You are very talented, little mage. You have understood how to use my master's power so quickly. It is indeed right to give it to you."
Hydraxis expressed sincere admiration for Jaina's understanding, "Go, the blessing of the Tidehunter will give you the power to fight one against a hundred, a steady stream of physical strength, and the ability to not be afraid of the heat of the flames and the waves. The ability to move forward.
There are many more uses for this gift, but no mortal has ever been able to obtain it, so it has potential that remains to be exploited.
Go quickly, I want to concentrate on fighting against Ragnaros' power. The key to victory or defeat is in your hands. "
Arthas looked at his palm and became excited - Neptulon's blessing was applied to him, but in just a moment, the blessing from the elemental lord was pulled into the astrolabe.
However, after the blessing disappeared, there was no movement in the astrolabe this time, leaving Alsace stunned for a while.
However, after discovering that he seemed to be able to walk on the water without relying on his own strength, Alsace stopped paying attention to this problem for the time being.
However, the other uses of this blessing seemed to have disappeared, but the impact on Arthas was not great, because his physical fitness had actually exceeded the scope of the elemental lord's blessing.
Gifts from such a powerful creature, especially in terms of physical fitness, are more and more difficult as you go up. Alsace, who can already be regarded as half a guardian, receives the blessing of this little power. The effect is considered minimal.
Moreover, he is not afraid of flames or heat, and there is no need to worry about physical strength.
As long as the Holy Light is immortal and death continues, Arthas can continue to fight, and he himself is the embodiment of Holy Light and death.
After confirming all the conditions, Alsace took the lead, stepped on the water waves, jumped into the air, dragged his war hammer like a meteor coming to the world, and hit the molten creature closest to him hard. On the fire hound.
One of the two heads of the poor hound was instantly shattered by the indestructible light of dawn, but Alsace's offensive still did not stop. While the hound howled, the warhammer suddenly rose.
The remaining head of the hound was turned back at an exaggerated angle. At the same time, the heavy blow to the lower jaw caused its body, which was about the size of a steam tank, to stand upright and fall backward, suppressing several unlucky firemen. Demon.
Arthas looked at the distance of several hundred meters between himself and Ragnaros, made a slight calculation, smashed the heads of the fire monsters, and then started to open up the road to Ragnaros.
