Azeroth Monster Manual

【Living Bomb】 As the name suggests, the caster implants a living bomb inside the target's body. This bomb will cause slight burning damage within 10 seconds and completely detonate the target after ten seconds.

This seventh-circle forbidden spell has many similarities to Hakkar's Corrupted Blood. For example, contagion. Yes, the most terrifying aspect of the Living Bomb is not detonating enemies, but contagion.

After detonating the first target, the Living Bomb will quickly spread the fire to nearby enemies. This contagion is somewhat limited compared to Corrupted Blood.

Corrupted Blood directly extracts the target's life force and turns it into its own nourishment, which allows it to maintain enough energy for contagion. The Living Bomb, on the other hand, consumes the energy of the spell itself until it is exhausted.

In order to inflict enough damage on Hakkar, Ayr even risked betting all the arcane divinity within his body. Although the price was high, it undoubtedly greatly enhanced the power of this seventh-circle forbidden spell.

......

Ayr ran frantically with all his strength, with Hakkar chasing closely behind him.

At this time, Hakkar was no longer in his original form. The originally bright feathers were burned clean by the flames, leaving only bare bone wings connected to scythe blades drooping at his sides. The scarlet scales had also lost their original luster, becoming dilapidated and pitch black.

His lower body, which had not been fully restored, was blasted into a bloody mess by the Living Bomb, leaving only a broken tail vertebra swaying in the wind.

A shrill roar echoed through the ruins. The disfigured Hakkar, like a soul-reaping ghost, relentlessly pursued the young man's back. Clearly, the seventh-circle forbidden spell had already damaged his foundation.

"You can't escape, you can't escape, mortal! I will devour your flesh and blood piece by piece, and tear your soul into shreds!"

"Can you change up the words a bit? The creativity of you villains is truly terribly lacking."

After narrowly dodging a sweeping wind blade, the young man did not forget to turn his head and mock. This provocative behavior undoubtedly made Hakkar even more enraged.

Thus, the chase began between the man and the beast.

"It should be about time."

The young man clutched his bleeding shoulder, thinking to himself. This long tug-of-war, or rather, desperate sprint, was not without meaning.

He glanced obscurely at the northeast of the ruins. That's right, Ayr was leading Hakkar in a predetermined direction.

Just then, a deafening roar and an ominous spell-like fluctuation sounded at the same time.

"Die, reptile!"

Black and red magical ripples flickered on Hakkar's broken body. At the same time, Ayr felt his knees buckle and almost fell to the ground.

"Damn it, it's Corrupted Blood again!"

The young man's body trembled slightly, and his eyes turned blood red. In just a few seconds, Hakkar's figure approached once again.

"I'll risk it!"

Watching the huge figure gradually approach, feeling the little remaining natural divinity within his body, Ayr pursed his lips and made up his mind.

"Buzz!"

A dense, misty light flashed on the young man's body. In an instant, the black and red light that had been wrapped around the young man's body instantly dissipated. This was the reason why Ayr was able to persevere through Hakkar's curses and diseases.

Although the natural divinity dispelled the Corrupted Blood in his body, it only dispelled it.

The little remaining life divinity only dispelled the curses and diseases in Ayr's body, but the more than a dozen large and small wounds did not heal.

It wasn't that 【Troll Regeneration】and 【Photosynthesis】had failed, but that the damage Hakkar had caused to Ayr had exceeded the limit he could recover on his own.

"Young miss, what do we do, what do we do? They're coming this way!"

Lola covered her small mouth and stammered.

"F... afraid of what? We're hiding so well... that big bat will definitely not find us."

Although Leanda was also very scared and regretful, she still mustered up her courage to comfort the little maid.

Just as the two were chatting, Ayr's figure was already close at hand, and Hakkar followed closely behind.

The young man was like a nimble cheetah, with firm forearms, bulging biceps, plus clear collarbones and beautiful mermaid lines. Although he didn't have the exaggerated muscles and lines of humans, the streamlined muscles were obviously more explosive.

The hazy moonlight shone on his body, and the running youth was like a perfect work of art.

"Slurp..."

Leanda and Lola unconsciously wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths, and were stunned for a moment.

"Damn it! Why are they here?"

The unique and keen perception of the elves made Ayr, who was running for his life, suddenly alert. With just a slight glance, he noticed the location of the two, which could not help but shock him.

"Damn it, there's no time."

Looking back at Hakkar, who was gradually approaching, and then looking at the two girls hiding in the ruins, the young man couldn't help but hesitate.

"Is this the most clichéd and old-fashioned plot in action movies?"

Ayr couldn't help but smile wryly. If they were two dwarves, or humans, he might be able to pretend he didn't see them and not save them.

But they were his compatriots, two helpless elven girls, which forced him to make a decision.

"Perhaps Kyle and His Majesty would make the same choice as me here?"

A trace of softness flashed across his stern face. He thought of his apprentice and the Sun King, who always had the interests of the country on his lips, but was always thinking about his people.

Silently, telekinesis was activated. The two girls hiding in the ruins screamed before they could react and were tucked under Ayr's armpits.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, save... save me"

The two girls reacted differently, but they both closed their eyes and struggled frantically.

"Shut up, you two idiots!"

Ayr roared, and the two girls under his armpits gradually calmed down after hearing Ayr's voice. The bolder Leanda even slightly opened her eyes and secretly looked at the young man.

"Ah, it's, it's, it's him..."

Recovering from her panic, Leanda felt the scorching sensation brought by the young man's bare skin, and couldn't help but blush, falling into her own fantasy.

"He, he, he, he won't do anything to me, right? How should I reject him? He's so strong, if he really does something to me, I... I... I'll fight him."

The more the girl thought about it, the more shy she became, and the more little stars appeared in her eyes. Until finally, her little head even leaned on Ayr's chest, closing her eyes with a face full of infatuation.

On the other side, the little maid, who was originally crying, was uncharacteristically, completely opposite to her young miss.

"Wow, Lord Ayr, did you come to save me on purpose?"

"Lord Ayr, your hair is so beautiful."

"Lord Ayr, you are so amazing. I just saw you blah blah blah..."

Ayr: ......

The young man was speechless, his face full of black lines as he sped up. Although he was carrying two burdens, he did not feel a trace of heaviness.

Along the way, he finally understood what it meant to be in dire straits. Behind him was Hakkar's roar and occasional fierce attacks, and in front of him was this chattering little maid like a little hen, which made him feel a deep sense of fatigue.

After creating some distance, Ayr stopped at a fork in the road and finally couldn't help but say:

"Shut up, he's coming."

Watching the increasingly approaching terrifying figure, Lola obediently covered her mouth. She even had the leisure to look at the young miss beside her.

Looking at the young miss with a flushed face and starry eyes, Lola couldn't help but complain wildly in her heart.

"Alas, this young miss is really inferior. She still said she would make him look good. I think she's just a freebie who loses money. When she enters Lord Ayr's door, I'll definitely make her wash my feet and buy me good food."

"Hehe he..."

The little maid couldn't help but laugh secretly as she thought about it.

Ayr covered his forehead in a headache. Did these two girls get some kind of serious illness?

The young man slandered in his heart.

......

Hakkar, who was flying at low altitude, suddenly lost track of Ayr. Just as he was about to press his attack, a strong sense of crisis stopped him.

After a long while, a vicious smile actually appeared on the corner of this wind serpent Loa's mouth.

Hakkar let out an eerie hiss, and rolling thick fog rolled over his body, and a cold aura quickly filled the ground beneath his feet.

One, two, three… Hundreds of translucent souls flew out of Hakkar's body, rushing towards El swiftly.

These souls were bizarre and varied, mostly trolls, but also some enormous beasts. El hid behind a broken stone pillar, carefully observing.

“Ah!”

A soft cry made the young man frown. He impatiently squeezed the little maid who had made the sound with his arm, telling her to be quiet.

Lola stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, but still said in a very low voice:

“Lord El, there's even an elf among these undead, but it's so strange, why is this undead so tall?”

“If I'm not mistaken, these souls are all the spoils of war that Hakkar has 'collected' over countless years. This is also the origin of the Soulflayer, but these souls are just Hakkar's morbid hobby and don't have any powerful strength.”

El whispered to the little maid to popularize knowledge.

While the two were talking, the souls got closer and closer. El obviously couldn't remain indifferent, so he tightly挟持ed the two girls and went into the high sky.

“I've caught you, little mouse!”

Hakkar showed a cruel smile, ignoring the souls in the ruins and spreading his wings to chase after El.

……

Belovar nodded to Anasterian, and the Sun King finally breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving confirmation from his old friend.

“It seems that even gods can be defeated…”

The Sun King looked into the distance with excitement, muttering to himself.

In the eyes of the two legendary rangers beside him, the light also rekindled. They knew that the end of this war was not far away.

El dodged left and right in the air with the two girls under his arms, the two girls let out bursts of screams and exclamations, and Hakkar was constantly approaching.

At this time, Hakkar's heart was full of disdain and contempt. A mortal of flesh and blood actually dared to fight him in the home field of the Son of the Sky with two burdens.

Hakkar's speed became faster and faster, and the violent sound of breaking wind rang in El's ears, but he had no way to deal with it, until…

A sharp cracking sound rang out, and half of the young man's body was chewed into minced meat by Hakkar, and the remaining half of his body spun and fell from the high sky with two terrified girls.

“Hahaha, this is the end of opposing the Soulflayer, hahaha…”

Hakkar chewed on El's flesh and blood while making the unique hissing sound of the wind serpent, but then, the wind serpent Loa in狂笑 noticed something was wrong.

“This flesh and blood… No… No! Where's the energy? Where's the energy in the flesh and blood?”

Before Hakkar could react, a faint blue aura began to rage in the ruins.

And the狂暴 Hakkar gradually became sober.

Looking at the gradually虚化 scene around him and the group of people pointing at him not far away, Hakkar finally understood his situation.

“Illu… Illusion, it's an illusion, when, you reptiles, when exactly!”

The Soulflayer roared hysterically, struggling, but those淡蓝色 auras were like maggots on bones,缠绕ing his body, firmly束缚ing his actions.

Azure ropes appeared one after another on Hakkar's 残躯. These arcane ropes looked thin, but they were exceptionally tough. No matter how Hakkar鼓动ed his whole body's strength, he couldn't break free.

Anasterian and Belovar and his party also came to El's side at this time,嘘寒问暖ing. At this moment, the overall situation had been decided.

El threw down the two恍恍惚惚 girls,撐着 his tired body, and came to Hakkar's side.

“Logically speaking, at this time I should give a victory speech like those villains in the traditional sense,炫耀ing my plans and deployments to you one by one, so that you can die miserably in regret?”

Belovar stood behind his grandson with an embarrassed expression, while Aurelia and Sardo tried hard not to laugh.

Anasterian looked at the young man's back strangely.

‘This kid is the蛔虫 in my stomach, isn't he? How does he know what I'm thinking?’

The Sun King and the Speaker of Silvermoon thought in unison.

“But unfortunately, I don't have this kind of unnecessary vanity, so, goodbye Hakkar, next time we meet, I hope to see your complete body, not an avatar, so that my material library can become more充实.”

El made a waving motion, ignoring Hakkar's struggle and curse, and detonated his last暗子.

“Bang…”

Hakkar's face, which resembled a velociraptor, suddenly became呆滞, and the污晦 words in his mouth also stopped in an instant.

A faint shadow aura flowed out of his seven orifices, and the spiritual will of this avatar was also ended at this moment.

“Haha… Hahaha…”

The young man仰躺ed on the ground regardless of his image, laughing loudly, but it only lasted for more than ten seconds before he fell asleep, and loud snoring gradually sounded. Belovar threw a robe out of his space backpack in annoyance and covered him.

The Sun King walked to Hakkar's 残躯 with a tired but very happy face, constantly抚摸ing the scales of this behemoth.

Lianda walked carefully to El's side and squatted down, gently戳ing the young man's exposed chest with her small hand.

“Don't disturb him, let our hero sleep for a while.”

Anasterian said softly with his back to the group.

……

Battle replay, time back to five minutes ago.

When El hid in the ruins, he found that Hakkar did not enter the trap obediently as expected, but summoned hundreds of ghosts to探查 his movements, which undoubtedly made the situation more complicated.

After careful consideration, El decided to lure Hakkar into the second layer of the trap - illusion, the seven-ring illusion - Phantom Realm, urgently constructed by the three archmages Belovar, Kael'thas and Rommath.

In this way, Hakkar thought that he had勘破ed El's plan, but what he didn't know was that from the moment El flew into the high sky, he had already fallen into the young man's trap and entered the illusion silently.

And later it was even simpler. The illusion引导ed Hakkar into the trap step by step, but he didn't know it until he咀嚼ed El's flesh and blood and found that there was no expected life energy, then he realized that he had been tricked, but it was too late.

Until he was controlled by the seven-ring forbidden curse [Arcane Cage] jointly cast by the three archmages, in fact, as long as Hakkar was given enough time, he might not be able to make a comeback.

After all, he had a killer weapon like [Corrupted Blood], and the Sun King and his party主动送上门来, which gave Hakkar a chance to break free from the cage.

Unfortunately, Grandpa El, who had read a lot of online novels and bloody TV dramas, did not give him this chance, but detonated his暗子 in advance.

[Seed of Corruption] A shadow magic that even术士 rarely use. The principle is very simple.凝集 your shadow magic into a seed of corruption that can be detonated at any time and '种' it in the target's body.

It seems to be similar to [Living Bomb], but the restrictions of the Seed of Corruption are obviously more, and the power is also smaller, but the advantage lies in the difficulty of shadow magic.

First of all, the distance, the distance between the caster and the receiver must be close enough, and the 'planting' of the Seed of Corruption must be hidden enough, which tests the caster's control.

In order to be able to悄无声息将 the Seed of Corruption植入 into Hakkar's mind, El wrapped a large amount of arcane energy around the Seed of Corruption, and then used the characteristics of Hakkar's egg (red giant egg) to absorb energy to send the Seed of Corruption disguised as arcane energy into Hakkar's mind.

Although the battle just now was fierce, El never gave up maintaining the existence of the Seed of Corruption until the end to give Hakkar a fatal blow.

…

“Hinterlands, this ancient land will焕发出 new brilliance under the rule of Quel'Dorei.”

Anasterian said with great emotion.
