Chapter 405 Triggers an Earthquake
When Lorraine found Said, Said was already dead, a dried-up corpse.
He knelt before the mysterious, blood-red statue. Lorraine assumed it was the same as the one in the Spider Mine and, without a word, smashed its base with the Twilight Hammer.
The earth shook violently, and a sea of blood surged forth, engulfing everything in the jade mine.
Lorraine and Terra, along with the Shadow Soul Eater werewolf he had transformed into, were swept into the vortex of the sea of blood. Amidst the dizzying, weightless sensation, Lorraine struggled to maintain a semblance of consciousness, trying his best to remain calm and steady himself.
Grabbing Captain Terra's hand gave him a sense of urgency; he couldn't afford to embarrass the Forsaken in front of the blood elves.
About half a minute later, Lorraine and Terra felt themselves fall into a strange space, where there seemed to be a sense of weightlessness... They were surrounded by a sticky, gelatinous substance, as if swimming in jelly, and the feeling of suffocation intensified.
At that moment, through the edge of the sea of blood, Lorraine seemed to see mysterious nebulae in the cosmos... everywhere were floating meteorites... in the distance, several huge green planets were cratered and seemed to be burning with hellfire, like the end of the world.
The iridescent nebula surrounding the distant planet seemed to have opened its massive jaws, devouring everything...
Slowly approaching a blue Mercury...
The next moment, Lorraine felt an immense force as he plummeted downwards. He and Terra were thrown back down, and the feeling of suffocation vanished...
The stench of blood assaulted my nostrils...
Lorraine was still confused at this point.
He was just grateful that he and Terra were still alive...
......
What Lorraine didn't know was that when he smashed the Faceless One's statue... the mine shook violently, and this was no small disturbance.
The earthquake covered an extremely wide area... The epicenter was located in a fissure in the ground near the entire Redemption Island and the mines, and the tremors were felt as far as Silvermoon City on the northern island.
The Sunreaver blood elves in Silvermoon City, who had just been unloading crates of gold coins, sensed the danger. They looked at each other, worried about what was happening in the distance.
Archmage Amans stared intently at the crystal ball... Through the magical crystal's detection, he confirmed an abnormal energy fluctuation on the coast towards Lordaeron... The specific area wasn't far from the former location of Dalaran, and he worried that perhaps the weak spacetime nodes around Dalaran had malfunctioned again...
Contrary to the vague guesses of Silvermoon City's Chief Archmage, Amans...
In Ironforge, nestled in the Dun Morogh Mountains to the south, the current dwarven king, Magni Bronzebeard, rose in astonishment from his Iron Throne... As descendants of the earthen, Titan-created beings, the dwarves could sense the earth's pain...
The dwarf king Magni and Bronzebeard also possess the ability to turn into diamonds, a rare ability even among dwarves...
In fact, the Bronzebeard family has always carried on the bloodline of the Mountain Kings. The dwarf king not only possesses immense strength and a body as hard as rock, but also exceptional forging skills...
Lorraine shattered the Faceless God statue, which had been baptized with sacrificial blood, as if opening the abyss of hell...
The energy fluctuations generated by sucking himself and Terra into the unknown space were felt throughout the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom continent.
The last time the Dwarf King McNee and Bronzebeard sensed such a powerful earthquake and Azeroth's resonance was when they personally used the Dark Gem to forge the artifact Ashbringer for the paladins Alexandros and Mograine.
The true form of the Ashbringer was originally a piece of Shadow Crystal that had run out of energy.
This stone is a fragment of a gem that the Alliance army of Lordaeron, led by Lothar the Lion and Anduin, discovered in the hands of a demon warlock when they stormed the orc stronghold of Blackrock Mountain.
This fragment, imbued with powerful shadow energy, was sent to the dwarven kingdom, where King Magni Bronzebeard personally purified it. The paladins prayed together and infused it with holy light, causing the light and shadow to collide violently, thus unleashing destructive power.
At the time, the human paladins did not know what the material gems used to forge the Ashbringer were, but they sensed that it contained extremely powerful energy.
Orc warlocks considered it a treasure.
After Mograine the Elder seized the gem, he infused it with the power of the Holy Light, making it very effective against the Scourge. He wanted to make better use of the gem, so he commissioned Magni Bronzebeard, the renowned blacksmith of the time, to forge him a divine weapon.
Thus, the Ashbringer was born...
Based on years of research and recent discoveries, Magni & Bronzebeard speculate that the fragment of the Dark Gem from back then was very likely a fragment of a Holy Naaru who lost its power and fell into the shadows...
When a Naaru loses its energy, it transforms into a Dark Naaru... These Naaru can not only wield the power of light... but also unleash the power of the Void and shadow.
Light and shadow complement each other...
In short, Naru, as energy life forms, whether alive or dead, whole or incomplete, are carriers of extremely powerful energy...
He wanted to use Ashbringer to avenge his brother Muradin & Bronzebeard, who had disappeared in Northrend and might have been killed by the death knight Arthas...
When Ashbringer was successfully created, holy light descended from the sky... Magni, Bronzebeard, and everyone present were excited. At the same time, Magni felt a mournful cry coming from the earth, as if a significant earthquake had occurred.
But at the time, no one paid any attention...
Following humanity's victory in the First Great War after the opening of the Dark Portal, Magni Bronzebeard, the dwarf warrior and chief blacksmith, inherited the throne from his father, Mountain King Madolan Bronzebeard. He assumed the responsibility of being King of Ironforge, protecting Khaz Modan, and defending the Alliance against the Scourge...
The third brother, Brann Bronzebeard, however, spent his days exploring and searching for treasure... and insisted that his second brother, Muradin, was still alive... One day, Brann found a heirloom of the earth spirits. It was actually just a broken stone tablet, on which was written the method to communicate with the earth: "Become a part of the earth, listen to the voice of the earth..."
As a result of the ensuing wars and conflicts, the shamans of the Earthen Ring, including Thrall, as well as the clergy among the dwarves and elves who could sense the power of the elemental spirits, all sensed that something was amiss...
They always heard the earth howling in agony, and the elemental spirits were also violent and irritable, always hurting people everywhere... fighting each other eternally.
Some people don't care about the charlatan's words, but the Dwarf King believes them wholeheartedly...
Whether from ancient texts, fragments of historical records, or even the descriptions on the ancient stone tablets brought back by his third brother, Brian, the Dwarf King was certain that the World Soul was being tormented by several forces...
He couldn't help but want to know why.
The tremor caused by Lorraine smashing the Faceless One statue made the Dwarf King's heart tremble slightly...
He muttered to himself, "Could it be that the inner and outer sealing formations of Arathi Highlands have begun to weaken, and Mother Earth is about to break free?"
