Chapter 363 The World Spins
"You can't die, you still owe me money!"
“Oh yes, you saved me, I’ll pay you… but I have nothing right now… my nearest camp looks like it’s tens of thousands of meters above an abyss… you have no idea how much effort my expedition team went through to get down to that abyss.”
Brian promised Lorraine a reward if he could get out of the current underground depths.
I'll give you everything you ask for, whatever you want...
This made Lorraine start to struggle with what treasure she needed to make her rescue of these unfortunate souls worthwhile...
The oblivious Lorraine forgot that the Spider Demon had only said he wouldn't eat him for the time being...
The dwarf Brian was quite something, extremely excited, completely oblivious to the rocks falling from the surrounding heights due to the tremors...
He and Lorraine watched the Zerg Guards set off, a grand spectacle.
Only Galin, the murloc, the two dwarves, a miner, and the Kirin Tor mage, who were lucky enough to survive, remained cautious and fearful, not daring to move.
About half an hour later, the current chief elder of the Abyss Council, the Decomposer, turned around and said to Lorraine:
"Necromancer...you still have a lot of trouble ahead. Necromantic power should not exist in the mortal realm! You harbor something we despise, so we have no intention of consuming your flesh and blood. As for these intruders, consider them a gift from me to your master..."
“Go back and tell whoever sent you here that the Aqir are the true masters of the Underworld! We may not appear on the surface, but the Titans must keep their promise!”
"If you can indeed bring reinforcements, we hope your allies will not exceed the 30,000-meter limit, which is the bottom line for us Aqi insects. Please build up the upper defense line, and we will eliminate any beings that sneak close to the plane gate of the Great Plane."
"Send these insects away... Next time, I'd like to taste the so-called necromancer... According to records, the taste of death can neutralize the power of life. I want to try to decompose the souls of the dead... and seize the offerings from the Lords of the Abyss."
Faced with the Spider Demon Elder's order to leave, Lorraine didn't know whether to feel fortunate or regretful.
He couldn't understand any of the information and was completely confused, but he was fairly certain that the Spider Demon had really spared him and the other unlucky guy with him.
Being driven out of the lair guarded by the spider demons is a good thing.
Following the spiderweb-like path that seemed to lead nowhere, Lorraine felt as if she were still being moved downwards...
He was puzzled; could the exit be deeper inside?
Brian, along with two of his compatriots and the lucky survivors, followed behind Lorraine, still pursued by massive insectoid guards...
The lucky one dared not look back, but Lorraine noticed countless nets hanging everywhere. Whether they truly contained more unfortunate humans or undead warriors, he didn't know...
He himself hardly believed that he could save Brian, along with his enemy Garin and the others.
The spider demon ignored his nonsense, seemingly able to extract the information he wanted simply by tasting his blood. Whether this ability was magic or a natural talent, he didn't know, but it certainly saved him a lot of trouble. His own acting was clumsy, and his lies were barely convincing...
Ultimately, he's an honest, five-star good citizen, and it seems he didn't have much trouble surviving the Spider Demons.
In reality, it was extremely dangerous, and they almost became someone else's food.
Fragments of the Bloodstone Egg, fragments of Atiesh—Lorraine mustered his courage and begged the Spider Elder for them, who surprisingly gave them to him... and even a tag with a spider mark bearing symbols both familiar and strange to Lorraine...
The Spider Demon Elder said, "Only with this token can you see the Sealed Guardian again."
However, the Decomposer hoped he wouldn't come to the Underworld. The dangers there were beyond his imagination. Although Mother Earth had been behaving herself for many years, the Underworld wasn't just inhabited by the Spider Demons; there were countless abyssal races that Lorraine had never seen before...
The Bloodstone Egg was completely shattered, and Lorraine had no choice but to use the fragments as evidence.
A large portion of the fragments of Atiesh is missing, and Lorraine has no way to find the rest. The Spider Elders say that the Faceless Ones are headless, faceless, and mouthless.
What they swallow is transported into the void...
It's highly likely that Lorraine won't be able to retrieve the complete fragments of Atiesh unless he can venture deep into the Void, but life cannot survive in the Void...
Therefore, the Decomposer advised Lorraine to stop dreaming.
In the eyes of the spider demons, Atiesh's staff was nothing special, and could not be compared with the Titans' artifacts at all. Even the brooms that the Titans used to sweep the floor were far superior to the so-called artifacts made by mortals.
Atiesh simply contains a teleportation array; its coordinates may be worn away. If Lorraine's magic reaches a certain level, enabling time reversal, simply reconstructing the array and key would make opening the portal straightforward...
The prerequisite is to become a true arcane archmage and learn the magic of time reversal.
I wonder if Lady Aegwynn possesses such a skill; I've heard it should be in the vaults of Karazhan.
But now that the key is broken, we can no longer find a way to get in.
This is an awkward paradox.
The spell of time reversal transcends the rules of physics and is a forbidden art that is not permitted in the real world.
Aegwynn once wanted to resurrect her son, but the price she paid was becoming a Forsaken and losing the magic she had accumulated over thousands of years... Unlike traditional guardians, Aegwynn did not pass on all her magic to her son. In fact, the lineage of the guardians of the Council of Tirisfal was broken from Aegwynn's time onwards. It was precisely because of Aegwynn's own selfishness that the tragedy of the Dark Portal occurred later.
In general, Aegwynn always felt guilty towards the world, so even after becoming a monster like the Forsaken, she still wanted to save all of Azeroth, prevent the world from repeating itself, rebuild order, and rebuild the new Council of Tirisfal.
She invited Lorraine to join, simply to bring the uncertain necromancer, with his dual souls, into the new Order.
Even though Lorraine is still weak, people like the Lich King and Medivh, who are dual-souled beings, have always been a threat to the entire world.
Lorraine always wanted to become a true archmage. Her teacher said that the Council of Tirisfal was the guardian of the world, and those who joined it were all powerful heroes.
The Council of Tirisfal is a secret organization founded by demigods among mortals, inheriting the long-cherished wish of Tyr, the former Titan Guardian King of Order.
About a few hours later, Lorraine and the others were brought to a waterfall. While they were still wondering where the exit was...
The survivors behind him had already been thrown directly into the waterfall. When Lorraine turned around, he saw that the spider demon guards who were escorting them didn't waste any words, or perhaps they didn't even know how to speak. They simply threw these intruders into the waterfall like a ball.
Lorraine saw that the people who had been thrown into the waterfall were actually swept away...
But the strangest thing about this waterfall is that it doesn't go downwards; the survivors thrown in are thrown directly into the water and fly towards an unknown place above.
Before Lorraine could ask any questions, he was struck on the buttocks, and his entire body was thrown upwards rapidly by the current. The terrifying speed exceeded his reaction time, but fortunately, although the current was swift, the force within it wasn't enough to harm him...
Lorraine felt that this immense force was something no mortal could withstand.
The world spun around him, and in the blink of an eye, everything went black for Lorraine...
