533 Don't throw away the octopus!
"Why are you spacing out again? Mr. Lorraine, it's time to go!"
After Lilith transformed into a holy priest, her entire body glowed with a faint golden light... Her already yellowish, luminous undead eyes always emitted a faint, grayish glow, like tears of light, floating in the air of the infernal chasm filled with dark red hell...
Holy priests can sense the power of holy light underground.
Isn't the Lightforged Undead itself a contradiction...?
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you complain that I was wasting your time? Plague Messenger, why are you standing there in a daze again? Are you stunned by my light... How about it, not inferior to your witch, right? You have no idea how painful it is to endure the burning of holy light at any time. It's nothing like the feeling of being able to unleash your full power in shadow form."
"If it weren't for you, I would much rather fight in Shadow Form..."
"The Forgotten Saintess would never consider you, Plaguebringer. She didn't even glance at you, you ugly monster, when she left. Only I, this young lady, take you seriously... Hey, I'll put a shield on you later, you just draw their fire, and then I'll use Holy Light Retribution. Don't let its seemingly weak appearance fool you, it's perfect for dealing with monsters from the Dark Underworld..."
Lilith waved her blessing symbol triumphantly...
Light dust was sprinkled before Lorraine, who tried touching it with her finger; it did indeed feel somewhat burning. Lilith, now enveloped in holy light, might not be as comfortable as she had imagined...
Holy Light is effective against the undead...
This is common sense.
......
"Oh..."
"Oh? You just say 'oh'!"
......
"Um..."
"Huh? You dare to say 'huh'!"
......
"Ugh... this is so troublesome."
"Fine, you! I'll let you taste my Holy Light Retribution first! Let you feel my pain... Don't dodge, Plaguebringer Lorraine, your death is at hand today! I will represent the Holy Light to destroy you! Stop, heretic, accept the power of divine punishment! Take this [Holy Nova] to purify you, you heretic..."
Lorraine was speechless... and dodged by teleporting away.
Light sparkled across the lava bridge; having a quirky teammate doesn't seem like a good thing.
The two chased each other...
Lorraine only wanted to keep her distance from Lilith, but Lilith truly went all out. Taking a single blow made Lorraine feel the intense burning damage that holy light magic inflicted on an undead body...
I just recalled my teacher recounting the legends of the world's heroes and the perfect life of my former idol, Archmage Ronin...
Finding a reliable teammate is really too difficult.
The teacher always longs for a companion, a so-called player, which the apprentice never understands.
Lorraine seems to have grown accustomed to going it alone and facing challenges alone...
......
The exact age of the eccentric, spirit-like female priest is a mystery...
When she awoke, she could still remember her brother Tagore, indicating that the siblings had a deep-seated attachment to each other before their deaths, and that they always cared for their loved ones... In the cataclysmic disasters and plagues, countless people perished...
Resurrected zombies and vengeful spirits are everywhere in the Plaguelands, the former site of Lordaeron.
Those with magical talent who can awaken as Forsaken, possess abilities, and retain memories of their previous lives are few and far between... Forsaken recruits who can survive battles and leave Deathstroke alive are even rarer...
Becoming a warrior and obtaining a military rank is already one in a hundred...
Compared to Biloran, a necromancer who was born with a teacher, Lilith seems to be developing more slowly.
However, the fact that she can wield the Curse & Blessing Staff and switch between Holy and Shadow forms at any time is enough to show that the Necromancer Lilith is already a strong newcomer.
Lilith isn't like this in front of everyone, not even her brother Tagore. Only the slow-witted Lorraine couldn't discern Lilith's current mood...
Lorraine thought Lilith was a burden...
He will soon realize how foolish and rash he has been.

According to the map, the only known area in Ragefire Rift is a lava bridge that leads forward and upward.
At the end of the main path of the Lava Bridge, which curves slightly, lies a fork in the road...
The fork in the road leads in four directions: to the left is a lava pool, to the right is a secluded and dimly lit path along a stone wall, and in the middle is a wide road that slopes upwards.
The map marks three skulls here, and the area around the lava pool is marked with signs indicating the presence of fire elemental monsters in the water. Lorraine and Lilith aren't fools; neither of them would willingly jump into the lava lake...
A bubbling lava lake—if you fell in, you'd be completely obliterated...
Based on the previous message from the guild leader, the area on the right appears to be the cave of the Stonejaws, where the corpse of a Tauren shaman sent by the Earth Ring was once found. According to records, the Earth Ring sent envoys to negotiate with the natives of Ragefire Chasm, but they were all killed. The rest had to flee, and a Tauren prophet was killed, his backpack stolen by the Stonejaws...
After the last major battle between the [Deathspeaker] guild's party members and the Stonejaw monsters, they successfully found the shaman's tattered backpack... which can be considered as bringing back a relic, leaving the Tauren shamans speechless and no longer opposing the Warchief's extermination order against the Stonejaw monsters.
Like the cave dwellers, the Stonejaw Monsters were judged as a race that possessed only human form but lacked both human form and intelligence, thus being considered monsters.
"Kill without mercy..."
When Lilith caught up with Lorraine, the two of them had just arrived at a crucial fork in the road.
Seeing Lorraine struggling with the markings on the map, she pointed to the Stonejaw Monster's cave and said, "Guess what's in the Minotaur Prophet Shaman's backpack?"
"what?"
"It was a letter... filled with diagrams of demonic runes. Our guild leader searched high and low before figuring out its meaning. Besides that, there was also a 22-pound old salted fish..."
"A letter? A 22-pound old salted fish? The Tauren Prophet's backpack..."
The letter, translated, means: Don't throw away the fish...
"Huh? That's it?"
“Yes… Don’t throw away the fish, that’s what the demon rune means. We all think it’s some kind of code, because that tauren shaman is called Mar & Grimtotem… His identity has been confirmed, he seems to be from the Twilight Eye, and somehow infiltrated the Earth Ring… We originally thought he was a remnant of the Shadow Council. It seems our information was wrong, or there’s more to it than meets the eye.”
......
"Oh..."
"You again?"
"Yeah, I don't care about the Grimtotem. Just keep the fish if you don't want to throw it away... salted fish can last a long time anyway... right now I just want to get out of this damn Ragefire Chasm as soon as possible..."
"What do you know! There's more to this than meets the eye. Someone is misleading the Chieftain. The Stonejaws aren't mindless monsters; they're quite intelligent. They're a powerful race with many tribes... Just the different classes of Stonejaws we've encountered have at least a wide variety of professions: Shamans, Warriors, Hunters. They have their own kingdoms underground, and Ragefire Chasm is just one of the entrances to the underworld... Do you understand?"
