Dizziness, nausea, and confusion are a reflection of the life of prisoners for nearly a thousand years. They tried their best to resist C'Thun's whispers, year after year, day after day, so that in the end, time seemed to have become meaningless. , they don’t know if they are still awake, or they have been brainwashed by C’Thun and become his servants.
Fortunately, Ahn'Qiraj did not seem to be C'Thun's "temple" from the beginning. Everything here has a great restraint effect on the evil god. If not, the night elves would have faced not only It's not the insect army, but the Dark Empire craze set off by C'Thun.
It is precisely because of this that the three poor dragons have been tortured for thousands of years under C'Thun's twisted whispers.
It's just that such imprisonment is still unbearable. Thousands of years later, the three giant dragons feel that their spirits have reached their limit. If they don't escape from this damn prison, they may become slaves of darkness...
Just as despair gradually spread, C'Thun's never-ending whispers stopped abruptly, and the three-headed dragons experienced a moment of peace, which allowed them to breathe and begin to study what situation they were in now.
Melinsela took a breath and withdrew the little power she could control. Although she felt the change, she still could not clearly understand the situation outside, so she turned around and asked her companions aside.
"Carlyle, what happened? Can you sense the situation outside the temple?"
Kairestrasz (later known as Kaire) tried hard to sense the situation in the outside world, but still failed. He shook his head and said helplessly, "No, everything is still so blurry, although C'Thun The power seems to be diminishing, but there is still something blurring my perception."
"Maybe this is another trick of C'Thun, to make us relax our vigilance in order to invade our minds." Arygos in the dwarf form has no hope of escaping, and their power is sealed by C'Thun , cannot even transform back into a dragon body, and has been forced to be trapped in a mortal form for thousands of years.
Melinsela remained silent, but also began to accumulate strength, preparing to rest for a while and continue to see if she could break through the cage.
"Stop trying. I've been trying for a thousand years. If I could escape, I would have escaped long ago." Arygos sat leaning against the wall, as if he had resigned himself to his fate. "That guy's strength is not as strong as ours." He is not on the same level at all. If this palace hadn't sealed him, even the guardian dragon wouldn't necessarily be his opponent."
Carlyle sighed. Although what Arygos said was a bit unpleasant, what he said was indeed the truth. A thousand years ago, they rushed into the depths of the temple regardless of their own safety and held back the insect army and C'Thun. The troops outside were fighting for time. When they fell into C'Thun's hands, they thought death was the only outcome, but they didn't expect that the evil god did not kill them directly, but trapped them in the temple and tortured them for thousands of years.
This was certainly not because the other party was merciful. Carlyle knew very well that the other party captured the three of them just to keep them alive and see with their own eyes the Dark Empire coming to Azeroth and destroying everything they once protected.
And if they succumb to C'Thun's lustful power, the Thousand-Eyed Demon will definitely be more willing to drive them to destroy the things they love with their own hands. This kind of distortion is the best food for the ancient gods.
"If you really give up hope, then you will not be able to maintain the last strength in this thousand years and ensure that you are not corrupted by C'Thun." Melinthera said to Arygos angrily, This guy looked decadent, but he was actually more afraid of death than she and Carlyle. Over the past thousand years, the three of them had supported each other to survive.
Arygos ignored Melinthera and squatted in the corner, wondering what he was thinking.
Carlyle felt that his power had recovered a little, and he said to Melinsela, "Try again. C'Thun's power has hardly diminished for thousands of years, but has been growing. This abnormal change must mean something has happened." ”
At this point, the eyes of the three dragons revealed their desire for freedom: death seemed insignificant in the face of this thousand years of imprisonment and torture.
——But soon, they changed their minds.
As soon as the power of Melinsela and Carlyle extended to the cage, before they had time to explore the weakness of the cage, they were thrown back by the breath of death as deep as the abyss. The tide of death force impacted on the cage, making Melinsela and Carlyle were immediately shocked.
They took a few steps back with pale faces, and an emotion called fear began to arise involuntarily in their hearts. It was not that they were timid, but that this was the uncontrollable instinctive reaction of all living beings when facing "death".
Upon seeing this, Arygos immediately jumped up from where he was crouching, and his dwarf voice let out a somewhat funny and sharp cry, "Damn it, I told you two to be more honest!"
Although he was unforgiving, Arygos kept activating his magic power to soothe the minds of Melinsela and Carlyle, lest these two unlucky children really become mentally disturbed due to the fear of death. broken.
Fortunately, he did not waste his strength on peering into the cage. This gave Arygos enough strength to protect Melinsela and Carlyle from the threat of death. However, this also made him exhausted and exhausted. He sat down on the ground exhausted.
The faces of the three dragons were almost equally pale. They looked at each other in disbelief, losing their last strength to protect themselves and turning into fish at the mercy of others.
"Crack!"
There was a sound like a broken mirror, and the unbreakable cage set up by C'Thun burst into pieces. A figure walked unhurriedly into the inner room where the three giant dragons were imprisoned.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other person's body, they immediately understood that the source of the real fear of facing death was the strange and handsome man in front of them.
"This is unlucky," Arygos said, "a ruthless character has come. It seems that we are going to see our fallen compatriots today."
------------------
Arthas frowned and stared at the embarrassed three people in front of him. He looked at their bodies that were trembling slightly for unknown reasons. He did not rashly approach the three-headed dragon that might have been corrupted by C'Thun. His soul perception was in After they quickly scanned the other party's body and confirmed that most of the other party's sanity still belonged to them, they stopped showing cold faces.
C'Thun was really "treasurable" about the three little guys he captured. The cage he set up would be difficult to break from the inside even if the Aspect Dragon came. Arthas had to use some force to break the prison from the outside. After being destroyed, it was discovered that in addition to the shadow pollution accumulated over the years, the three-headed dragons also had a little bit of death. Only then did they realize that the weak fluctuation mixed in C'Thun's power when they broke through the cage just now came from them.
Knowing that it would be uncomfortable to be hit by his own power, even if it was only affected, the three people in front of him were still wounded. If they were not creatures with strong vitality like dragons, it was hard to say whether they were dead or alive.
Of course, Arthas was not to blame for this. He didn't know where the weak consciousness came from. In order to prevent C'Thun from leaving any back-ups, he simply crushed it directly, and although the three-headed dragon in front of him They are not in good condition, but it is not difficult for Alsace.
He raised his hand to summon the warm holy light, brushing it over the messy bodies of the three giant dragons, purifying the pollution in their bodies - it was this purification process that was not pleasant, being trapped in the cage of the ancient god. After such a long time, the shadow energy in their bodies has actually taken root, but they did not notice it themselves. Maybe after returning to the tribe, Alexstrasza and Ysera can detect and purify this pollution, but without Artha Si, then Malygos, who is probably still in a state of madness, will not care about Arygos's state.
It’s no wonder that in the original timeline, Arygos finally fell into the abyss of corruption. I’m afraid it was also inseparable from the continuous fermentation of torture over the past thousand years. Finally, coupled with seeing Malygos being surrounded and suppressed by other dragons, It was difficult for Arygos not to fall.
The holy light shone on the three giant dragons, and severe burning and pain immediately swept through their nerves. Arygos couldn't help shouting, "Are you going to torture us before killing us?! I will not give in." ——”
"Shut up, Arygos. This energy is healing us."
Carlyle and Melinthera glared at Arygos and scolded Arygos almost in unison. Arygos smiled bitterly. In fact, he also knew that the Holy Light was only expelling what C'Thun left in their bodies. The remnants of poison are just the habit of gossiping that was developed due to the boring prison life for a long time and has not yet been corrected.
