Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 500: Midir, the Shadow Devourer
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Jaina exclaimed.
The rest of the people were also amazed. The twisting void was a new thing that everyone present had seen for the first time.
After a brief moment of amazement, everyone immediately felt the threat and malice towards life in this world.
The sky was filled with strange, vague colors. They were discrete energies floating in the twisting void, among which shadow energy was the most common. The void was full of shadow energy. In just a moment, the hull of the Light was corroded by the shadow energy and continued to decay and peel off.
The people standing on the deck also felt a strong discomfort, and some even started to bleed.
The Griffin Knights and Storm Dragon Knights flying around the Holy Light all began to lose blood.
Kael'thas warned, "Be careful, this is the shadow energy floating in the twisting void. It will corrode the flesh and soul of mortals, and gradually turn material life into void creatures."
As he spoke, he cast a magic shield on himself to resist the invasion of shadow energy.
The paladins also summoned holy light to protect themselves, and Vivian and Jaina also cast protective magic, but the dwarf musketeers and elven rangers did not have this ability.
Godwin was not panicked. He suddenly drew out the sword behind him, strode to the bow of the ship, and raised high the legendary weapon in his hand - the sword of the ancient emperor.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Great Holy Light, please listen to my voice, respond to my prayers, protect your people, and let your divine light dispel this ominous darkness! Transform it into an indestructible fortress!"
Miracle of Light - Barrier of Holy Light!
Boom! With Godwin as the core, the surging power of holy light spread in all directions. The golden holy light barrier instantly dispelled the shadow energy, completely enveloping the Light and the surrounding space within a range of hundreds of meters. The shadow energy was constantly forced back, forming a safe area.
A huge golden ball of light appeared in the void.
Under the influence of various halos on Godwin's body, the blood lost by the surrounding soldiers was quickly restored, and they suddenly burst into cheers.
"Long live the King!"
"Praise your holy light!"
"For the glory of the Alliance!"
Godwin slowly put down his sword with a complacent look on his face. He really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention and the pleasure of being in charge of the overall situation.
Yes, that's right. One day, I will be able to do all these in reality. Now that I am no longer burdened by my crippled body, I will accomplish great things and let the whole world know my name.
Kael'thas did not cheer, but just watched everything with a complicated expression. He suddenly looked at Jaina who was excited beside him, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
From the first moment he saw Jaina, Kael'thas inexplicably felt a little more favorable towards her.
Kael'thas (Elementalist): "Jaina, after the battle, remember to hide behind me. I will protect you."
Jaina smiled politely, "No need, Dean Kael'thas. I can protect myself. I have grown a lot from all these adventures with Prince Aidan. Please don't underestimate me."
Just as Kael'thas was about to say something, Godwin's voice suddenly came from the side.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Prince Kael'thas, just do your job, I will take good care of Jaina." Godwin said with a subtle expression.
Kael'thas seemed to understand something. He looked at Godwin unwillingly for a moment, but finally smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Yes - Your Majesty." Then he stepped aside.
When Godwin looked at Jaina, his face immediately changed to that of a warm-hearted big brother.
"Don't worry, Jaina. My holy light is not afraid of any evil. As long as you stay by my side, you will be safe. I will never let you get into danger."
Murphy watched all this coldly, and thought to himself, this Godwin might be a lolita complex. Jaina is only about fourteen or fifteen, still a young girl. It's not good to be so obvious, man.
That Kael'thas is even more perverted. You are an old guy who has lived for hundreds of years, but you are so attentive to a young girl. Do you have any shame?
However, he couldn't understand these people's thoughts. Although Jaina was indeed very pretty, he couldn't bring himself to do anything to this little girl whose hair had not even grown out completely.
"Hey, brother Godwin, now is not the time to pick up girls. Watch out, we are still in the danger zone."
This sentence made Godwin look embarrassed, while Jaina showed a look of astonishment, obviously not considering it in that regard.
At the critical moment, an exclamation broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Look ahead, something's happening!"
A lookout shouted, and everyone looked towards the void ahead. Sure enough, a dark island floating in the void appeared before everyone's eyes.
It is not quite appropriate to call it an island. It is more like a boulder floating in the twisting void. A huge black dragon is lying on the floating island. Its pitch-black wings are glowing with dark purple light, and its body is filled with the black energy of shadow. It seems to be in poor condition, as if it is struggling for survival. The way it is lying there, it seems that it will die at any time.
But looking at its health bar, it is full.
'Shadow Devourer' Midir (Void Dragon King), a world-class fifth-tier BOSS, with health points of 495,500 and a level of 97.
It is actually two levels higher than the information, with a health value of nearly 500,000, which is even more astonishing.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Warriors of the Alliance, prepare to fight!"
At the command, musketeers, archers, military chaplains, and combat mages rushed to the deck to prepare for battle.
The Void Dragon King Midir also woke up from his slumber. He climbed up from the island where he lived in a strange and seemingly laborious posture, and stared directly at the approaching enemy with his dark purple eyes.
Midir the Shadow Devourer (Void Dragon King): "Get out of my territory, you ignorant mortals, or you will be devoured by the void and become slaves of the shadows. Get out before it's too late.
Hearing the roar of the dragon, Godwin naturally could not show weakness. This was the best time for him to show his ability.
Immediately strike a pose that you think is heroic.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Midir, you evil dragon in the darkness, your threat to the Golden Tree will end here . Today I will kill you with my own hands. The Holy Light will witness all this. In the name of the Supreme Will, prepare to die."
'Shadow Devourer' Midir (Void Dragon King): "You don't know what you are doing, mortal king. You shouldn't touch that power. Light and shadow always complement each other. The stronger the light, the more terrifying the shadow of its incarnation will be when it falls.
The golden sacred tree you planted with your own hands will one day become the root that buries your kingdom... cough cough cough, don't you understand, I am not threatening you, I am saving you. You have been deceived by stupid mortals, the master you serve is not what you think... cough cough cough. "
Godwin was stunned for a moment. He had imagined all kinds of reactions from Midir, but he didn't expect the other party to say this.
This is different from the plan. The other party should roar and threaten, and I should bravely declare war and finally kill the powerful enemy...
Forget it, never mind. I guess this guy is just deceiving himself.
Godwin (King of Lordaeron): "Evil dragon of the void, servant of the shadow, your lies cannot deceive me. Put away your evil plots and lies. Nothing you say can save your fate. In the name of the Supreme Will!"
As Murphy listened to the conversation between the two parties, he couldn't help but feel moved. It did make sense at first glance.
Theoretically, all Holy Light creatures can be transformed into Shadow (Void) creatures.
Naaru can transform into entropy demons, and light priests can switch to shadow priests.
Does that mean that the golden tree can also be corrupted and degenerated into a void tree?
But on second thought, it seems unlikely. The prerequisite for the transformation of light and shadow is to be eroded by shadow energy that far exceeds its power level, or to exhaust the holy light power of its body. This is obviously unlikely. The holy light power of the Golden Sacred Tree is so strong that it is not so easy to exhaust it.
But this matter has little to do with him, and it is not his original mission.
Of course, Godwin could not believe what the other party said. What a joke! The Supreme Will is the embodiment of Holy Light and the will entity of the power of Holy Light. It can be said that it is just. The tasks issued by the Supreme Will must be done.
The Void Dragon King in front of him was obviously the embodiment of evil, his body filled with shadow energy. It would be strange if he could believe what he said.
No more nonsense, just give the order - "Fire!"
Boom boom boom! The cannons on both sides of the Guangming suddenly began to fire with a roar.
Each shot can deal hundreds of damage.
Midir was bombarded by the artillery fire and black air was coming out of his body. He couldn't help but let out a crazy roar.
"Foolish mortals, pathetic ants, since you are so ignorant, then prepare to be destroyed - roar!"
The giant dragon roared, and powerful pressure instantly spread around. Intense fear suddenly surged into the hearts of the soldiers, and for a moment they were on the verge of collapse.
Midir flapped his wings and soared into the sky, looking down at the enemy in front of him like a king.
"Turn the boat around and keep it facing the enemy sideways!"
"Griffin Knights attack!"
"Musketeers and archers, shoot freely!"
"Uther, Mograine, Garithos, activate the auras!"
Under Godwin's command, the musketeers on the deck fired wildly at the giant dragon in the air.
The battleship was changing direction, and several heroes activated their halos.
Garithos: "For the Alliance!"
The exciting aura is activated!
Uther: "In the name of the Light!"
Holy halo activated!
Mograine: "Prepare for battle, warriors!"
Aura of Courage activated!
Godwin himself had four halos, probably because he had some kind of halo-type heroic expertise. These ranged troops had six or seven halos, and their combat effectiveness was doubled.
Arrows rained down, bullets flew everywhere, and the fierce firepower created a sky full of red damage numbers.
Murphy thought to himself, no wonder Godwin found so many melee heroes, it turns out they were specifically for opening auras.
It's true, the firepower is quite impressive. Although Midir was flying and dodging, he was still hit by quite a lot of bullets. Several rounds of volleys took away tens of thousands of Midir's health.
But Midir was not stupid. He did not prepare to fire back at the aerial fortress. He flew directly into the distance to create distance. The flying speed of the Light was no match for the dragon, and it was left behind in the blink of an eye.
However, some griffin knights and dragon riders chased after them, and while enduring the environmental damage from the void plane, they launched a frantic siege.
Midir pulled away several thousand meters before stopping. Facing thousands of flying units around him, he immediately activated his ultimate move.
The fire of destruction!
The dragon opened its mouth and a torrent of purple-black flames gushed out. As it gushed, its neck kept turning, and the flames swept across the sky. Once the Griffin Knights and Dragon Riders entered the range of the fire, they were instantly killed.
Hundreds died in the blink of an eye.
Murphy felt extremely painful when he saw this, but Godwin didn't even blink.
"Go, all Griffin Knights, attack!"
Damn, rich people are willing to take risks.
Murphy was not so extravagant. He sent out another hundred Storm Dragon Knights to attack, and left the rest behind to escort him.
Midir sprayed for a while, and seeing that there were still many enemies, he used another move - Activated Shadow Flame!
A dark purple flame rose from its body and transformed into countless dark purple flame balls that were released from its body and chased towards the surrounding flying troops.
These shadow flame spheres seemed to have life, tracking each other automatically, forcing the Dragon Knight and Griffin Knight to scatter and hide.
Taking this opportunity, Midir opened his dragon mouth, and shadow energy rushed into his mouth frantically, like a whale swallowing water.
Shadow Devourer - I see, it really is devouring shadows, this must be the origin of its title.
As the power of shadow was continuously absorbed into his body, an ominous black light burst out from Midir's body.
Void dark annihilation wave!
Another breath of dragon was spurted out, but this time the dragon's breath was completely different from the previous large-scale fire. The shadow energy actually condensed into an energy beam more than two meters thick, like Godzilla's
Like an atomic breath, it flew across thousands of meters of void and hit the Holy Light Barrier.
Boom—kaala!
The Barrier of Holy Light made a sound like glass breaking. Under the bombardment of the void dark wave, the Barrier of Holy Light appeared and disappeared, as if it would disappear at any time.
Godwin hurriedly raised the sword in his hand, continuously inputting energy, and trying his best to support the holy light barrier.
“Brother Aidan—it’s up to you!”
Murphy nodded, it was time to go on stage.
He took a few steps ahead and suddenly leaped into the void, taking on the form of a dragon in mid-air. In an instant, a four-winged dragon with a wingspan of over a hundred meters appeared out of thin air.
The moment the huge Storm Dragon King appeared, everyone on the battleship was startled at first, and then burst into cheers.
The Ancient Dragon's Might has the effect of making teammates immune to fear, charm, and mind control, instantly restoring their morale that was originally low due to the suppression of the dragon's might.
Murphy did not attack head-on, but soared to Midir's flank, gathered his strength for a moment, and then blasted out with a super ancient dragon lightning.
boom!
-4000!
The true damage dragon thunder directly dealt full damage, and a breath of dragon breath and a basic attack actually reached the power of a hero skill.
Midil was hit so hard that he stopped breathing and suddenly looked towards Murphy with his bull head.
A look of shock.
'Shadow Devourer' Midir (Void Dragon King): "Ancient dragon lightning? No, that's impossible. The ancient dragons have long been extinct... cough cough cough."
A black aura emanated wildly from its body, and its eyes seemed to be in endless madness.
'Shadow Devourer' Midir (Void Dragon King): "It's you... the one who was prophesied... you've finally come... it's too late... you've come too late... the void has devoured me... the power of the shadow has corroded my body, the will of the abyss has taken over my soul... die, all of you..."
The rising black flames covered its entire body, and Midil's eyes turned completely black, as if it had lost all reason and emotion. Like a wild beast, it pounced towards Murphy.
Boom! The two giant beasts suddenly collided with each other.
Midir's dragon claws were black and sharp, his body was covered with flames of shadow, and his body was so huge that he actually suppressed Murphy in terms of strength.
So strong! This guy's physical strength is even stronger than Ankara, and compared to Ankara, the shadow flame on his body is even more damaging.
But Murphy is no pushover. The ancient dragon claws can easily tear through Midir's thick dragon scales. The dragon thunder is continuously released along with Murphy's thoughts, and his whole body is covered in red thunder.
The two giant beasts fought back and forth, black flames and red thunder echoed with each other, and they exchanged damage madly.
But Murphy was not fighting alone after all. After only losing 10,000 or 20,000 HP, the Light was already approaching.
Holy Light! Mograine raised his hand, +2000!
Holy Light! Uther raised his hand, +3000!
Holy Light! Godwin also raised his hand and +5000!
Three big sips of milk instantly restored the health that had just been lost.
