Chapter 430 The Final Battle on Redemption Island
Everyone who could run away ran away...
Those who couldn't run away were eaten like snacks by Mayor Bourne... The Crimson Warriors, dressed in standard, ornate crimson robes and armor, were merely ordinary people who had received some conventional beliefs and religious baptism...
Those who remained in the dungeons of Atonement Island didn't need names; after all, no one knew of their deaths... and no one would keep records for the Scarlet Crusade and Lordaeron.
They had survived the terrifying shadow of the Scourge before dying on Atonement Isle.
Atonement Island was originally just a prison, and perhaps it was once a bridgehead for humanity to deal with natural disasters... Now it is just a lonely, uninhabited desert island.
......
Afterwards, everything on Atonement Island was as if nothing had happened...
Both the Alliance and the Horde generally agree that Atonement Isle is an abandoned island... where only occasionally do the vengeful spirits of Scarlet Priests, Paladins, and Ascetics, dressed in finery and wielding weapons and armor, appear.
Their spirits linger on the island, and no one knows why...
Others may not know, but Lorraine does.
Few people know the truth; most only have a vague understanding, including those who witnessed Lorraine's courageous leap into the abyss...
After they escaped, Lorraine, at the bottom of the tower, used all her skills to kill several Faceless Ones. Of course, these were all weakened versions, even though the mayor had now swelled to the size of filling half the dungeon.
Lorraine mocked Mayor Bourne, saying he wasn't afraid of being crushed to death by the island...
In fact, Lorraine knew that physical damage would be almost useless unless the mayor's leather suit was broken.
After a fierce battle, only the Soul-Eating Shadow Werewolf, nearly bursting with hunger, and three henchmen remained by Lorraine's side... Mayor Bourne was unharmed, still toying with the unfortunate Prince Garin...
Even though Mayor Bourne's mind was no longer pure due to consuming too much flesh and remnant souls, he had begun to become a true Faceless One... different from the inferior version that fought Lorraine in the altar below.
The mayor seemed a little dazed. It jumped down, causing Lorraine to lose her balance. The surrounding altars were crushed, and countless offerings on iron hooks fell into the cracks in the ground.
Soon, Lorraine became certain that, aside from the toy in the mayor's hand, Prince Garin was a living person...
Throughout the entire Isle of Atonement, within the Twilight's Hammer stronghold, there are no longer any living beings... Lorraine herself is also an undead, a Forsaken necromancer.
Of course, only Lorraine was truly conscious!
Mayor Born of the Faceless City stood beside two Faceless Beings, who had completely shed their human forms... one was a large-eyed monster transformed from the commoner Wilkes, and the other was an octopus-like figure resembling the scribe Horace...
The giant eye is crying. It was ambushed by Lorraine, who used the werewolf as bait, causing Horace's Shadow Impact's corrosive power to accidentally injure the giant eye that was originally capable of affecting others' minds...
The octopus was trembling, because Lorraine had secretly severed one of its tentacles with a small dwarf death ray...
The dwarven technology that could melt steel finally had a use. Lorraine couldn't help but recall the days when he was chased to the underground by the Faceless Men, how he had miraculously saved Brann and Bronzebeard, and now, the tormented Garin...
Lorraine wasn't making any more pronouncements; he was pondering and recalling what power the Spider Demon had used to shatter the Faceless One's core... What were the abilities of those light rope lifeforms? Why could they heal him, and even temporarily transform him back into a real person...?
Is the power of the Titans really that great?
Lorraine pulled out a medal. He truly hoped that the spider demon elders of the Abyss Council would descend from the sky with their army and rid him of the Faceless Ones...
Spider-Men and the Aqir are also said to be races created by the Old Gods, but the Spider-Men are naturally immune to the Old Gods' mind control. Therefore, although the Spider-Men were originally enemies of the Old Gods, they enslaved the Aqir and transformed them into the terrifying insectoid race...
The scene was still vivid in his mind. Lorraine had no idea where the Spider Demon army had gone through the portal after arriving here.
Who exactly did all those spider demons attack?
Is the underground world even more exciting...?
In comparison, the current Redemption Island, with its fiery lava, eerie altars, blood pools, and iron chains, resembles a purgatory... but it still falls short compared to what one sees in the abyss.
That invincible power, the Spider Demon race, and the ancient Dark Gate that existed ten thousand years ago.
Compared to Mayor Bourne's actions, it's utterly insignificant...
But for mortals, earthquakes may be terrifying, but storms and torrential rains are even more direct... The intense heat of magma can burn a mortal's body without even reaching the Earth's core; the extreme temperatures and the terrifying evil cultists can destroy the courage and faith of ordinary people.
"Twilight's Hammer? Hmph, utter trash..."
Lorraine recovered five Bloodstone Egg fragments... There are still five left. Mayor Bourne devoured three, and the other two are inside the Big-Eyed Monster and the Octopus, namely the commoner Wilkes and the scribe Horace...
Now that both are injured, Lorraine takes the opportunity to use his remaining three demon wolf servants, along with himself and the alpha wolf, to try to kill the two who are clearly dull-witted after transforming.
Especially the civilian Wilkes, whom Lorraine used the two weapons in his possession to assassinate the undead killer...
Two mortal weapons, one called the Blade of Crow... the other called the Demon's Strike... especially the Demon's Strike, which seems to possess a strange power specifically designed to counter the Faceless Ones.
As a mage, Lorraine had no weapon at hand and was already in a killing frenzy. He grabbed the weapon that Wilkes had taken in his human form and attacked the big-eyed monster, targeting its wounds and then finishing it off with ice arrows. Surprisingly, it worked wonders.
As expected, the antidote is available within three steps of a venomous snake...
Lorraine wielded her small dagger with incredible skill, unleashing the Demon's Strike—a bizarre weapon that guaranteed a critical hit within three seconds—allowing her to successfully break through the defenses of her most formidable enemy as a melee mage.
Peeling back the imposter's skin reveals the core of shadow energy...
Just as the mayor's most capable subordinate was about to be defeated, the mountain-sized Faceless One showed no reaction whatsoever, simply watching Lorraine relentlessly torture its kind with the Sword of Crow and the Demon's Strike Dagger...
The other scribe, Horace, who was in the form of a faceless being, was also dazed and trembling... as if he could no longer cast spells because he had lost his tentacles.
Finally, when the giant eye monster was about to perish and transform into a dark core.
The mayor intervened...
It instantly grabbed the octopus and swallowed it whole... Another tentacle swiftly snatched the faceless monster, the one Lorraine and the werewolf had been suppressing, and was about to be sent to its mouth as well... The mayor's tentacles were quite different; it seemed as if tentacles were growing from his mouth...
Lorraine, caught off guard, found his feet entangled, along with the alpha wolf and the remaining three loyal wolf servants. All were bound by the colossal Faceless One, the embodiment of Mayor Bourne, and flung around in the air... Lorraine stabbed with his Demon Strike dagger and Crow's Sword, but this time it had no effect...
The mayor ate the octopus first, then the big-eyed monster, then Lorraine's alpha wolf... and then it was Lorraine's turn...
"Wow, that's not fair! Hey!"
