Chapter 486 Am I alone again?
The black liquid was a petroleum-like substance that spread rapidly...
The entire Isle of Atonement was almost entirely covered in a layer of black plastic... After its third transformation, the Void Demon seemed to possess more sentience, more like an intelligent being... It spared no life form on the island...
Even the remains of flesh and bones...
It was a demon with a penchant for cleanliness, devouring all traces of the battle, leaving neither blood nor weapons behind...
Lorraine soon discovered that, apart from the ruins and stones of the Death Fortress, he seemed to be the only one left on the entire Redemption Island. Again!
Why do I say "again"?
Because the island was initially deserted, and the abandoned buildings hidden in its dungeons were used to secretly construct the Twilight Altar by Mayor Bourne and others, Atonement Island had been abandoned for at least ten years...
Looking around, the blood-red crusaders at sea had become torches... here and there, their crews were almost all dead, very few survived...
From time to time, ghouls of the Cataclysm could be seen leaping and bounding about. The Plague Dragon, previously controlled by the black mist of the Blackwater, first continued to breathe fire, melting the ice... After wiping out everything, it resolutely flew towards the center of Atonement Island, to the true form of the Void Demon...
These controlled creatures, or half-dead shells, ultimately chose to be swallowed by the black water...
The third form of the Void Demon... seems to have achieved its goal.
Only Lorraine was unhappy...
This time, I reluctantly came to Atonement Island... Although I gained some knowledge, I almost lost my life...
No, it's not just "almost," it's that we haven't successfully escaped the danger yet...
Lorraine had already climbed to the outer shell of the Death Fortress, watching the black water slowly devour the fortress's remains, the foothold getting smaller and smaller... This soft, black substance was like a black hole, swallowing everything in its path...
Looking out, the island was black, and the blackness was spreading.
Lorraine crouched alone atop the stone ruins, watching the danger approach. Suddenly, several beautiful figures flashed through his mind... there was Terra, who had flown away on the Romans Dragonhawk; there was his junior sister, Eileen, whose condition was now unknown; there was Lady Aegwynn's Forsaken face; and there was the imagined image of the Dark Queen, Sylvanas...
A banshee, shrouded in the hood of a dark elf ranger, revealing only pointed ears, with blood-red tear-like markings at the corners of her eyes...
Touching the newly acquired Frost Dragon Mark... a thought flashed through Lorraine's mind.
......
On the distant human side, due to an unexpected event on the island, the approaching Death Knights and undead minions were quickly annihilated, the ice melted, and the Path of Bones teetered on the brink of collapse...
Yuvel had been observing everything below from the airship, but this time he wisely chose not to get involved in the battle.
On one hand, it was because of the intervention of the senior Romance; on the other hand, Romance and his beloved disciple Terra were, strictly speaking, rivals to the Silver Covenant... Master Yuvel had already suffered heavy losses in previous battles, and the mage legion had been ambushed in Ambermill, nearly annihilated...
The secret message from Terra piqued Yuvel's interest, but after the failed landing and Romans' escape, Yuvel could only observe from afar aboard the airship...
The reason they were on an airship, a goblin airship, was because the tribe's ambassador, the troll witch doctor Kalai, was also on board...
Yuviel temporarily replaced Miss Katarina as the Alliance's ambassador. Until Jaina returned from Kul Tiras, Master Yuviel represented not only human mages, observers within the Kirin Tor, and the head of the Argent Covenant, but also the Alliance envoy in communicating with the Horde, temporarily setting aside the territorial disputes between Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills, as well as the area near the Alterac Mountains...
While the great war in Alterac Valley is unlikely to cease, the struggle for resources between the Forsaken and the Arathi Basin human alliance is even less likely to end...
However, the fighting in specific areas of the battlefield can continue. As for the territories in dispute and the peace in neutral areas, given the temporary ceasefire agreement reached between the new alliance commander and the tribal ambassador, everything is still negotiable, and cooperation is even possible to safeguard the interests and honor of both sides.
Master Yuvel spotted the colossal Void Demon from afar, and both it and the Horde ambassador, the lich Kalai, were worried for Master Romans...
After the Scourge's high lich appeared, the two ambassadors suddenly realized the gravity of the situation: the forces they had brought were likely insufficient to deal with Kel'Thuzad and his several dangerous minions...
It was a very wise choice to proactively retreat to the shore and build defenses.
After much effort, it was nearly dawn...
Only the wreckage of various warships remained at sea. The sea had calmed down, but numerous human corpses, barrels, and flags were scattered everywhere... The fall of the Deathly Hanging Fortress shocked Yuvel and his companions, but they dared not send anyone to launch a further assault on Redemption Island...
As the sun rose over the distant sea, the temporary alliance between humans and orcs seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel...
As the shadow of death dissipated, these few onlookers from the Alliance and the Horde didn't actually do much... they simply watched from afar, from the shore and the air, the changes on Atonement Isle...
At this time, eerie black water was spreading across Atonement Island and was approaching along the sea surface.
Yuvel seemed to notice several familiar faces approaching the shore. They were trudging along the crumbling path of bones, making their way towards the human defenses on the shore... It was none other than Rayleigh and his companions, who had been on the brink of death and were now utterly exhausted.
Lieutenant Leylan, the militia captain of Southshore, a former veteran of Lordaeron, a paladin of the Scarlet Crusade, and now the instructor of the Southshore militia, is still alive!
This is undoubtedly wonderful and exciting news!
Behind Leon were other survivors: Paladin Britney, servant Blancard... Blood Elf Paladins, Rangers, and Spellbreakers! There were also two Scarlet Crusade warriors, Jordan the Purifier and Herod the Blade of Light!
Upon realizing they were human, Yuvel quickly ordered an order to rescue them...
It's likely that after this earth-shattering battle, only a lucky few survivors remain near Atonement Island!
The Sunreavers are still alive, so the Horde certainly won't abandon them...
It seemed like both sides were heading in the same direction, everything was going so well... except for Lorraine, who was trapped on Atonement Island... No one knew he was still alive. Besides Lorraine, there was only a deranged Void Demon on Atonement Island, relentlessly spewing black liquid to devour everything...
