Chapter 561 1 Flash
Lorraine and Lilith had entered the Stone Man's Mouth once; it was a unique secret passage with only some ancient murals and prophecies, but it didn't evoke any particular feeling.
At the end, you'll reach the blood-drawing groove in the center of the altar.
The blood needed for the sacrifice flowed into the giant mouth of the stone statue. Lorraine hadn't expected that the stone statue could also have the effect of sealing and imprisoning.
Not to mention Lorraine, even Godos, one of the leaders of the Burning Blade Clan, was unaware of the secret.
Some of the fallen stone fragments have completely merged with the rock face due to the passage of time. Only when the stone figures open their mouths in the same direction will the legendary shadow assassins appear.
As for Garona, this female orc is probably older than the blood elf archmage Terra who once helped Lorraine. A two-hundred-year-old elf is only a minor.
The legendary Shadow Assassin, with a head of white braids, sharp eyes, fangs, muscles, a pert buttocks and scars, and an eerie complexion, can even take the head of a fake demon race, the Sat, with his bare hands.
Using chains to cut at high speed is not so much a skill as it is the ultimate expression of speed and power...
Agility is a strange attribute; it's clearly an adjective.
Unlike intelligence, strength, and speed, which are quantifiable metrics, endurance and mental fortitude are mysterious yet crucial core attributes that sustain life through crises, and not everyone shares these qualities.
Even an ordinary fawn can injure a predator with its hooves and teeth, but a cheetah's teeth and a tiger's claws can be fatal in a single blow.
Essentially, someone who can be called an assassin must be an expert in hunting and a master of the art of killing.
The name "Shadow Assassin" is primarily associated with bizarre and supernatural abilities that shouldn't exist in the human world...
For example, the rogue's secret techniques such as stealth and shadow step are said to have originated from Garona.
......
Garona possesses the blood of both Draenei and Orcs, along with explosive power and an affinity for both Holy Light and Shadow. She is naturally exceptionally intelligent, and due to Gul'dan's inhuman torture and experiments, Garona's entire body is a weapon; she can crush a mortal's throat with a single hand.
However, she was still a woman, and in the face of absolute power, skill could only take a back seat.
The former Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer was not only powerful but also intelligent, and he had experienced countless life-and-death battles.
The orcs' description of him as despicable is precisely to illustrate that this chieftain was not only powerful but also wise and cunning, and he possessed the conviction to lead his people to break free from demons and become independent and courageous.
It can be said that Orgrim almost completely defeated the original Alliance of Lordaeron. If it weren't for Gul'dan's betrayal and the Shadow Council's interference, the orcs would not have fallen to the point of being enslaved again.
Without the slave camps and gladiatorial arenas scattered throughout the Alterac Mountains, there would be no later legend of Thrall.
Circumstances can be unpredictable.
.......
Thrall's father, Durotan & Frostwolf, the former chieftain of the Frostwolf clan, died under Gul'dan's fel magic.
The Shadow Council assassins hunted down Durotan and his wife, slaughtering the Frostwolf Clan warriors. To protect Thrall, Thrall's mother, Draka, risked her life to place the newborn Thrall into a stream near Hillsbrad Foothills.
Thrall, the first orc born in Azeroth in the year the Dark Portal opened, was found by a human sergeant, which led to the legendary life of gladiator Thrall.
At Dunholad Castle, Thrall received gladiator training and learned everything about human aristocratic society. He also grew up with a human girl and developed some subtle feelings for her.
Arthas, as a prince, once accompanied Medivh and other court mages and nobles to Durnholde Castle to witness Thrall's legendary, invincible gladiatorial combat.
The fates of these historical figures were intertwined from the very beginning, but no one could have known that the future would bring them endless pain and torment, forcing them to make all sorts of difficult choices.
One wrong step and you're doomed...
Thrall's human foster father, harboring ulterior motives, seized his adoptive sister and murdered her. Heartbroken, Thrall raised the banner of resistance against oppression and enslavement. He rose from slavery to Orgrim's second-in-command, gained freedom from his gladiator status, reclaimed the glory of the Frostwolf Clan, took up the path of elemental shamanism, and received the black armor and Doomhammer—symbols of Warchief—in Hammerfall, Arathi Highlands.
Thrall, the son of Frostwolf, felt a sense of familiarity with Jaina, perhaps stemming from their childhood experiences.
Jaina's unique taste stems from the fact that she has seen many talented men from various kingdoms since childhood, including Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron; Kael'thas, the first crown prince of Quel'Thalas and the blood elf archmage; the blue dragon prince; and Thrall, the gladiator hero of the orcs and son of Frostwolf.
Meanwhile, Warchief Thrall's ambiguous attitude towards humans stems from his time as a slave gladiator in the Eastern Kingdoms. Now, he has led his people across the sea to survive, established a new Horde in Kalimdor, and made Orgrimmar their capital.
The new Horde has no desire to be anyone's slave, whether you are a demon of the Burning Legion, a demon warlock of the Shadow Council, or a plaything of a human noble.
Ultimately, the Shadow Council and Gul'dan are the enemies of the new Horde. The Shadow Council's assassin is Thrall's father's killer. He inherited the will of Orgrim and his father Durotan, as well as the shamanistic traditions of the Frostwolf Clan, and continues to fight against the Shadow Council's minions.
......
Therefore, when Garona was captured by Orgrim and other orc chieftains who were two or three meters tall, she was equally powerless to resist.
Garona once endured the most brutal torture...
The orcs felt no pity for this pitiful half-blood woman who served Gul'dan; they felt only disgust and hatred.
Garona will never gain the approval of her people.
Both the Draenei and the orcs themselves, who value tradition, considered her a stain.
Garona's complex and twisted personality bears a striking resemblance to one person: the legendary figure with another soul within him... Yes! That's Medivh, humanity's last guardian...
Did you think I was going to say Lorraine?
Lorraine was just a young Karami; before fulfilling the mission entrusted to him by his adoptive father, he was merely a necromancer forced and semi-voluntarily advancing for the safety of his teacher and himself...
Medivh claims to dislike monsters, but it is possible that, under the influence of the Dark Titan Sargeras's true Titan soul lurking within him, he actively mated with a female orc, euphemistically calling it planting a seed of surveillance.
Garona, a human weapon who grew up in a cruel, twisted, dark, violent, and disgusting environment, had no idea how to be a mother, or even how to treat the life inside her.
The chosen one, who possessed the blood of a human, draenei, orc, and titan, was taken away by a mysterious figure.
Garona's whereabouts were last exposed when Orgrim captured her and tortured her to reveal the Shadow Council's secret stronghold in Blackrock Mountain. Afterwards, during the Second War, even though Orgrim killed Lothar, the Lion of the Alliance, in Blackrock Mountain, he himself was mortally wounded and died in Hammerfall.
It seems that rogues, having lost the initiative, are still no match for top-tier boss-level warriors who are proficient in Arms Warrior, Fury Warrior, and Protection Warrior and are immune to crowd control.
But the fate of a soldier charging into battle is always that heaven is on the left, and the soldier is on the right...
Warrior, mage, and rogue...
The first two generally do not show much respect for the unjust character in the latter case.
However, if it's not a direct confrontation, a skilled assassin will only look for the right entry point. They won't use a dagger to stab the plate armor, but will instead insert it into the joints or vital organs in the gaps of the plate armor, usually with the help of poison and other auxiliary tools.
Whether you're a plate armor tank or a portable water dispenser, you're all prey to the Shadow Assassin.
Everything was prepared in order to completely kill the target and escape unscathed.
Garona's eyes held a killer quality that Lorraine couldn't decipher, a strange white resembling cataracts... like eerie demonic eyes filled with arcane energy. In reality, Lorraine overlooked one crucial point: Garona had been imprisoned in the mouth of the stone golem for an unknown period, and the darkness within made it impossible for the assassin's eyes to immediately determine whether she was in a free environment.
Why did Garona kill Azaran? It was an instinct, an instinctive aversion to demons and traitors...
That's not right. The real traitors are the Burning Blade and Fireblade clans. They're lurking in the Shadow Rift, secretly building up their power in Ragefire Chasm under the guise of the demonic legion, while actually plotting for their new master...
Garona not only had problems with her eyes, but her nose also seemed to be congested. Suddenly, she caught a scent coming from the direction of Lorraine. The old assassin threw away the lesser demon's head and charged towards Lorraine.
Lorraine, who was prepared, shouted, "I knew it!"
Lorraine felt a flash before her eyes...
A flash of light streaked across the sky, and sparks flew everywhere!
