I walked through the dark forest of dead trees.
The field of vision is filled with layers of fallen leaves, sharp stones, and sticky river water...
The darkness seemed to extend to the end of the world.
It’s so quiet…
No insects chirping.
There was no sound of wind.
Even the river water solidified in place like cheese.
The further I walked, the more panicked I became, and the further I walked, the more frightened I became.
By the end, I was running!
I flap my wings and fly into the sky!
I'm flying!
However, the sky is also black.
The sun in the sky has gone out, and the cold and huge boulder just hangs there quietly, giving people an extremely terrifying sense of oppression!
Turning around, I panicked and flew toward the distant mountain that reached straight into the sky.
Everything in the dimness flashed by under my wings.
I saw lakes without ripples.
I saw dry, dead grasslands.
I saw half of the collapsed stone pillar.
I saw graves covered with cobwebs.
This world is empty, it seems like everything is dead except for me!
My eyes started to feel sore and hot!
"Father! Father!" I began to scream, "Ricky! Sally! Sally!"
However, there was no response.
It felt like a breath was being choked in my throat, it was so uncomfortable!
I flew forward crazily, as if I had been flying in deathly silence for seven thousand years!
I reached the dim peak.
It is covered by thick glaciers, like a giant standing in an ice coffin.
Turning around the knife-edge mountain top, I suddenly saw something that made my heart stop!
"Dallion?!"
The boy was sealed under the ice, his cheeks gray.
No, not just his cheeks.
His neck and fingertips were all gleaming with the grayness of death!
For a moment, I felt like I couldn't breathe.
"Darian! Dalyan!" I flew over and shouted his name.
However, he didn't move.
"Darian! Dalyan!" I hit the solid ice hard, not stopping even if my fists were filled with blood and flesh.
However, those dull sounds did not enter the silence of death.
"No! Dallion! Dallion! Dallion! Dallion!"
"...Messiah...Messiah..."
"...La...De..."
"...Messiah...Messiah..."
"...La...De..."
Countless worlds away, I finally heard a sound like a sigh!
The sound is getting closer!
With a jolt, I woke up from the nightmare!
At that moment, I stared at the boy with blurry eyes.
He is still alive...
My throat felt like it was being choked and it was extremely uncomfortable.
"...Messiah..." The boy knelt beside me and held my hand firmly, his face full of anxiety, "I'm here...Holy Light...don't cry...we'll be back soon..." Arrive at Jin Maple Forest Port... Let's go find His Highness Tyrande... Don't cry... Tikriti!" He suddenly yelled angrily, "How long will it take to dock?!"
"Are you kidding? The young master of the Mograine family?" Tikriti's impatient voice came from a distance, "We have only driven back half a night! Even at full speed If we go forward, we can’t arrive until dawn!”
His voice had the unique shrillness of a goblin, like a steel needle piercing a blood-spattered hole in my soul!
The next second, that terrible whisper came from the hole in my soul!
"...La...De..."
"...La...De..."
"...La...De..."
The whispers are getting heavier and heavier, and more and more shocking!
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
A sharp roar also sounded.
They were like heavy swords waving among countless sharp spears, severely damaging my brain!
"Ah---!" I held my head and almost rolled on the hard bed!
"Messiah!" Dallion hugged me hard and restrained my hands.
Through the messy curls, I saw his eyes were red, "Oh my god! What's wrong with you?!"
"...I hurt so much...Dallion...don't let me wake up..." I cried, almost begging.
"Give her that potion again," it seemed to be Gligo's voice, "the water demon's blood..."
"No!" Dallion flatly refused, "Messiah, listen to me." He held my wrist tightly, not letting me move at all, "You have already finished one bottle! If you take it again, you will Highly poisonous..."
"I would rather be poisoned... I would rather die..."
"Don't talk nonsense..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the deck above us.
boom--
The whole ship seemed to shake.
"Ouch!" At the same time, there were also screams from the sailors.
"We're under attack!"
"Who are you?!" someone shouted!
"Where did he come from?!"
"Bah! Take the fishhook! Kill him!"
"Go together!"
"Roar--" there was an angry shout, and the next second, there was another loud noise on the deck!
boom--
The blue electric light penetrated the thick deck. They were like the sharpest blades, cutting spider web-like traces on the deck. Then, the thick wooden board shattered!
In an instant, tangled cables, broken barrels, screaming crowds, and countless things fell from above.
"Uh---!"
"I can't see! I can't see!"
"...Help...ah..."
There were wailings all over the place.
Dallion immediately hugged me tight to his chest.
After the scattered sawdust, I straightened my back and took a look over there.
I saw an extremely tall shadow leaping down from above. He landed on the ground half-kneeling with blue lightning all over his body.
In front of him, a short figure descended from the sky.
He was wrapped in lightning, his body was burned black, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of smoke.
"Mr. Tikriti!" Gregor was the first to recognize him.
"Ho ho..." The goblin captain seemed to want to say something, but only bursts of thick smoke came out of his aquiline nose and damaged mouth.
Kara--
Not far away, the tall shadow stood up. The sea breeze lifted up his withered grass-like forehead, where I saw a pair of eyes radiating ice-blue light.
"Huh..." Cold mist sprayed out of his mouth.
He walked over step by step, his heavy, rusty iron boots forming ice crystals on the carpet.
He...he is an undead? ! How similar to the one I saw in Alterac!
Huhu--
He swung the heavy bolas.
I am convinced that the iron ball covered with spikes can easily smash a person's head, causing people's brains to splatter!
"Damn it!" Dallion pushed me into Gregor's arms. He grabbed half a wooden chair beside him with his backhand and headed towards the tall shadow!
Their speed became faster and faster, and finally, the weapons in their hands collided hard!
boom--
The sound of the impact was heavy and shocking!
I saw the chair in Dallion's hand turned into fragments all over the sky, and before he could find the second weapon, the shadow's meteor hammer had already been thrown towards him again!
"Dallion...oh!" Almost at the same moment, the whisper in my ear turned into a roar!
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
The sharp sounds almost shattered my cheekbones and tore my cheeks into pieces!
"Miss Messiah! Messiah!" Gregor tried to suppress my hands that were pulling my hair tightly, but he was not a strong and powerful Darien, so he was directly pushed out by me!
"oh!"
Oh my God!
It hurts so much!
I rolled all the way to the corner, and my forehead hit the broken wall full of spikes.
one time.
Two times.
Three times.
It seems that only the bloody pain on my skin can make me feel better!
"Don't do this! Don't do this! Messiah!" Gregor rushed over, otherwise, I might really kill myself here.
"...I hurt so much..." I grabbed his arm and couldn't help crying, "...help me...help me...please..."
"Holy Light..." He hugged me into his arms, with a cry that could not be concealed in his voice, "What should I do? What should I do?"
*
Unexpectedly, the void not far from us began to twist, and a man in black robe stepped out of the door of space.
I saw him looking around and heard him chuckle twice, "...When you become the servants of that great existence, you won't be in pain..."
It was obvious that Gregor also heard what he said. The boy immediately turned around, opened his hands, and blocked me from behind.
The eyes of the black robe just glanced over his body contemptuously. Following his gaze, I looked towards the side of the ship.
Unknowingly, Dallion had been forced over there by the tall figure.
The boy found a piece of hard iron rod. The sharp tip collided with the meteor hammer again and again, making his hand bloody.
The black shadow seemed to be able to control lightning-like arcane magic, which forced Dallion to repeatedly call for the Holy Light. However, how long could the thin light shield on his body last?
"God of magic, I pray to you to let it go with the wind..." At that time, I heard a subtle chanting sound.
Pressing my temples, which were pounding so fast, I turned my gaze back to the dangerous man in black robes.
God knows when, he sprinkled a circle of powder emitting green light on the carpet, and the powder floated into the air, and then spread quickly like ripples!
call--
I just felt a gust of wind blowing over me, and then I lost control of my body.
This smell with a cool aroma...is it some kind of numbing medicine containing ghost mushroom powder? !
When the side of my face touched the ground, I suddenly thought of this.
The Gligo in front of me also shook a bit and lay straight in the sawdust on the ground.
"...God of Death, I offer sacrifices to you...Please bind these souls lost in the darkness and let them become containers of your power..."
As I said, I just lost control of my body, but I didn't lose my hearing. I heard the man in black robes begin to recite some evil spell.
I haven’t lost my vision, so I can still clearly see things over the side of the ship!
I saw Dallion's knees bend suddenly, and then he fell to his knees on the broken deck.
Then, I saw the tall shadow in front of him grasping his neck, and the meteor hammer whizzed above his head!
He's going to smash Dallion's head!
No!
I desperately wanted to stand up, but my hands and feet didn't obey me at all!
This makes me anxious almost crazy!
Just when I thought Darien was about to splatter blood on the spot, he suddenly moved!
He intertwined his hands above his head and held the meteor hammer that hit his head!
"Uh-huh!" He shouted in pain and fell to the ground.
With that force, he rolled back several times. At that moment, something fell out of his mouth and kept shaking on his chest.
I stared there, and with the bright moonlight, I finally saw clearly, it was a ring! It’s Ms. Natalie’s ring! It restored Dallion's sanity!
Dallion even called out Kress, the Servant of the Holy Light, who was wearing terrifying armor while he was dodging!
However, before I could rejoice, Darian tried to turn over and seemed to be frozen by something. He remained in the uncomfortable position of half-kneeling and leaning back, unable to move anymore!
The same goes for Kress. He has clearly raised the heavy sword, but he has been unable to chop it down!
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
But at that time, that damn howl sounded in my ears again!
My head hurts so much!
I subconsciously reached out and grabbed my curly hair. At that moment, my stiff fingers paused slightly!
Can I move? !
Could it be that the sharp stabbing pain in my brain can help me escape from the shackles of paralysis and poison? !
oh!
who cares!
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
I endured the pain of my brain being torn apart and climbed up from the carpet.
"Look to the side!" I roared, blood rushed to the top of my head, and in an instant, I felt that my vision was bright red!
Everyone was stunned!
And at that moment, I opened my eyes hard, and when I opened them again, I was already stepping on the howling wind of shadow!
In just one step, I reached the back of the tall black figure. The dagger in my hand followed his shoulder armor and penetrated deeply into his right shoulder.
I wanted to cut off his entire arm, but my dagger was blocked by his hard bones.
"Huh--" Of course the undead couldn't feel the pain. He just stood there and exhaled a breath of cold air!
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
The sharp cry pierced my head!
It hurt so much that I couldn't cling to the prey's back as firmly as I once did.
As soon as my fingers loosened, I fell on the back of the black figure, "Oh...ah---!!" I almost curled up in pain.
Wow--
Just then, my elbow touched something cold.
Panting heavily, I turned my head and saw the faint ice blue chains on the ground. Those things were wrapped around everyone's body.
And it’s most obvious on Kress!
When I squinted my eyes, I could even clearly see the shining magic patterns on the chains wrapped around his hands!
It's magic, right? ! And the only one here who can use magic to trap us is the man in black robe!
I couldn't help but look at the magician not far away. He happened to look over and raised his chin towards the tall black shadow in front of me. The next second, the black shadow turned around.
God, when I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help but gasp!
That face... that face is broken!
His forehead and cheekbones were split, he had no lips or nose, and both of his ears were cut off at the root...
However, judging from his bones, he should have been a night elf during his lifetime.
Before I could think more, he had already stretched out his hand with long nails, as if he wanted to grab my throat!
"Messiah! Leave quickly!" Darien, unable to move, roared.
I shouted hastily, gritted my teeth, and moved a step on the dirty ground. The next second, I had appeared behind the man in black robe, and before he could react, I pierced my dagger. His vest.
"Uh ah ---" the black robe cried out in pain. He tilted his head in disbelief and glared at me fiercely, his purple lips not stopping for a moment, "...the god of magic..."
He still wants to recite a mantra? ! Still want to use magic? !
How could he possibly succeed!
"Drink---!" I grabbed his shoulder with one hand, held the dagger tightly with the other hand, and slashed downward fiercely!
I successfully severed this bastard's spine!
"Ah---!" He froze for a moment, and then, like a soft leather bag, he fell backwards, and the hot liquid spurted out of his body covered my head and face.
"Ravenhold!"
"Ravenhold!"
I covered my head and lay in the sticky blood all over the floor, breathing heavily.
I feel like I, like these liquids, will slowly cool and disappear in the sea breeze.
In the blur of black and red, I saw Dallion on the side of the ship regaining his ability to move. He slammed into the tall figure with his back turned to him, knocking him over the side of the ship.
Then, he staggered and ran towards me, "...Messiah...Messiah..."
I was pulled into his hot chest.
Through his soaked clothes, I could clearly feel his violent heartbeat.
"Holy Light, you are injured!"
I pressed my temples, which seemed to be about to burst at any moment, and squeezed out those few words from between my teeth, "...My head...hurts so much..."
He muttered something silently and placed his right palm shining with holy light on my forehead, "Patience, Messiah."
*
But at that moment, in the void outside the ship's side, I suddenly saw a huge shadow!
As I said, it was a bright moonlit night with an unobstructed view of everything.
How did that thing appear out of thin air? !
It looks like a huge ship, much bigger than the Fish Skin!
Of course, these are not scary. What is scary is that it broke through the rushing water and rushed rapidly in our direction!
"D-Dallion!"
boom! !
The huge impact made me fly out screaming!
Perhaps it was the sea dragon skins outside the hull that played a role. The Yuskin was not smashed to pieces, but instead started spinning on the sea like a top!
oh!
I'm going to vomit!
Wow wow--
In the rapidly rotating scenery, I was horrified to find that the huge ship was rushing past the side of the ship, making a series of harsh metal friction sounds.
A hundred meters away, it suddenly turned its hull and rushed over again!
boom--
"Oh!" I flew into the air again!
Fortunately, the side of the Yuskin was strong enough, otherwise, I would have definitely fallen into the sea this time!
Oh my god...
My back hurts so much, it seems like it's broken into several pieces!
The rotating ship suffocated and began to spin in the opposite direction. At that moment, I felt as if every bit of my internal organs and every bit of my brain were being thrown out!
"Messiah! Hold on to the side of the boat! Ouch!" I vaguely heard someone shouting.
However, before I could put his words into action, a large shadow hit my head again!
boom--
This time, the Fish Skin also flew.
When I fell into the sea again, I realized that the entire boat had been broken in half!
The sea water poured in, and the stern of the boat I was on quickly stood up!
It sticks straight into the water like a sword!
"Oh my god!" I tightly grabbed a swishing cable, and the other end was tied to a strong wooden stake. I also caught a figure rolling down beside me. "Oh!" His heavy weight and momentum almost broke my bones!
"...Miss Messiah!" The man raised his head, and in his beautiful purple eyes, I saw bone-deep fear.
Then I found the source of his fear.
Just below us, under the water, the huge propeller blades of the Fish Skin are still turning all the time!
If we fall... we will definitely be sucked into the whirlpool like those wooden barrels and smashed into pieces!
"...Don't move, Gligo..." Swallowing, I quickly looked up.
It was empty, with only a few blackened hands hanging on the horizontal surface three meters away.
What about the rest?
Where's Dallion? !
My eyes shifted and my breathing suddenly stopped!
I saw that boy!
He was hung from the side of the ship on the other side, with sharp iron bars piercing his elbows.
The dark liquid was falling drop by drop along his drooping fingertips.
He seemed to have fainted, with his head hanging down on his chest and his legs swaying in the wind.
For a moment, my heart seemed to have forgotten to beat, "...Dallion!"
But he didn't respond, not even trembling his eyelashes.
Kara--
Suddenly, his body sank! The overwhelmed iron bars have cracked and seem to be broken at any time!
"No!"
I have to save him, but...but...
I couldn't help but look at Gligo whose arm I was holding. If I let him go, I would be able to swing over with the help of this cable, and I would definitely be able to bring Darien back from there! Even though I have a splitting headache now!
Yeah, I just need to let go...
"...Messiah..." Gregor may have seen something from my expression, his pupils were shaking uneasily.
That sound suddenly brought me back to my senses!
May the Holy Light forgive me! What on earth was I thinking? !
Kara--
There was a crisp sound of breaking again from Darien's side, and the iron bars engraved with spiral patterns could no longer hold the boy!
Snapped--
He fell helplessly!
Just like that day...the day Selin fell into the sea of fire...
No!
Using all my strength, I pulled Gligo upwards and without any explanation put the cable into his hands, "Grab it!"
Without any hesitation, I kicked hard on the broken deck and threw myself in the direction of Darien!
I want to catch him!
Or fall to death with him!
I don't know why this is happening...I just know that I never want to experience something terrible like that again!
"No! Miss Messiah! Messiah!" Gregor's exclamation was quickly drowned out by the sound of sea water.
Wow wow--
The huge fan blades stirred under the sea surface, making the sea seem to be boiling!
"Dallion! Dallion!"
I walked through the droplets and stretched my arms vigorously.
"Dallion! Dallion!"
He seemed to have heard my shout, seemed to have opened his eyes, and seemed to have reached out to me!
But at that moment, just when my fingers were almost touching his, a particularly strong figure suddenly swung down from the air. He grabbed my shoulders and pressed me down hard. On the vertical deck behind him, "Oh!"
Jumping over his shoulder, I watched the boy fall into the sea!
I saw him being sucked into the whirlpool and into the fan blades of the ship!
He disappeared without a trace!
"...No! No!" Huge grief came over, almost breaking my heart!
I raised my fist and punched Torun in front of me so hard that his head tilted back and he let out a scream!
"...don't...move...you..." he yelled in a stiff tone.
"I don't want you to meddle in other people's business! Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!!" I stared at him, grabbed the horns on his head, and tried desperately to push him away!
boom--
At that moment, a violent impact came again!
This time, I didn’t have to struggle anymore, because the world turned upside down and everything flew up!
I was hit on the forehead by a whirling iron bar. Before my consciousness fell into darkness, I saw the huge black ship that attacked us passing me and sailing into the dim light of dawn.
