Boom!
A huge boulder smashed down, directly annihilating the Fire Elemental Giant, who was just preparing to cast a powerful spell.
Before Vereesa and the two others could rejoice, more boulders continuously fell from the ceiling, quickly pinning them down.
At the crucial moment, before Rhonin could raise a magical shield, a red dragon passed by and teleported over just in time.
It blocked the giant rock falling towards Vereesa with its body, grabbed her, and with its other hand, seized Rhonin and Falstad. A profound energy enveloped the three of them.
A few seconds later, as light flashed, a large number of giant rocks fell, filling the empty space.
The entire underground city collapsed in a violent tremor. The hundreds-of-years-old dwarven city completely became a pile of rubble, its name only appearing in dwarven memories and history.
Outside, in the lush green forest, an intense battle raged in the sky, with countless red dragons being shot down by iron-clad black dragons.
A red dragon happened to fall not far away. A high elf blue-robed mage opened a portal and stepped out, possessing an aura even more powerful than an Archmage.
This mage was none other than Malygos, the blue dragon King, in his human form!
Beside him, a lightly dressed night elf with a green cloak also emerged. It was Ysera, the Green dragon queen, red dragon queen Alexstrasza's sister!
The two dragon Kings rushed over upon hearing the news of the demon soul's appearance, especially the unsettling news of the red dragon queen's disappearance.
A moment later, a gust of sand blew past, and Nozdormu, the bronze dragon King, also appeared!
My God!
Including red dragon queen Alexstrasza, who was currently entangled with Deathwing in the sky, all five Aspect dragons appeared simultaneously. It was truly a once-in-a-century gathering.
A flash of teleportation light, and Vereesa and the two others also appeared nearby.
Vereesa, who had thought she was about to die with many things left undone and infinite regret, felt a sense of familiarity. She looked up at the red dragon protecting her.
"Thank you, my lord. May I know your name?"
"You're welcome, mortal. This King, ahem, this lord does good deeds without leaving his name."
Arthas almost said "this prince," but the power of time allowed him to correct himself just in time.
"Please, three lords, save the queen, ahem."
The fallen red dragon was Krasus, who had been dispatched to rescue Rhonin.
He was in a miserable state, his scales shattered, and a huge claw mark on his body, covered in raging flames and shadow energy, continuously burning, rendering the red dragon's powerful self-healing ability ineffective.
Just as Ysera was about to provide aid, Arthas casually cast a Holy Light Spell, instantly restoring Krasus' health.
Although it couldn't eliminate the shadow flames, it at least repaired the shattered scales, stabilized his aura considerably, and he no longer looked like he was on the verge of death.
Holy Light Spell?
Ysera's face was full of surprise and questions. Since when did red dragons use Holy Light Spell? She had never heard of it!
As she was wondering and about to inquire, Malygos, the blue dragon King beside her, saw Deathwing and remembered the tragic death of his wife, all because of this brother he once trusted the most.
"Neltharion, prepare to die! Your time has come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his form shifted, returning to his dragon form, and he soared into the sky.
He casually cast spells that normally required a mage to chant, an instant casting ability that made Rhonin incredibly envious.
Countless ice spears pierced towards Deathwing in the air, only to be directly blocked by his wings.
"Hehehe, you're still so weak, are you just tickling me?"
"Less talk, die!"
Alexstrasza seized the opportunity and directly slapped Deathwing, causing him to stumble.
Hitting a dragon anywhere but the face might not cause much damage, but it's incredibly insulting.
The enraged Deathwing furiously attacked, grappling with Alexstrasza. Although he managed to scratch her each time, her powerful recovery ability compensated for her lack of defensive capabilities.
While they might seem evenly matched for a while, it was clear to any discerning observer that Alexstrasza's defeat was only a matter of time; she simply couldn't break through Deathwing's defenses.
Ysera suppressed her confusion and also transformed into her dragon form, joining the battlefield.
Nozdormu sighed, reverted to his dragon form, and joined the fray.
With their addition, Alexstrasza's pressure greatly reduced. Cooperating with her siblings, they counterattacked, surprisingly suppressing Deathwing for a time!
But as time went on, Deathwing, having adapted, actually began to suppress the attacks of the four Aspect dragons.
This was not surprising, as Deathwing's power was originally stronger than any of them.
Furthermore, during the War of the Ancients, a portion of the four Aspect dragons' power was stored in the demon soul, while Deathwing cunningly refrained from injecting his Guardian power.
This meant that a full-strength Deathwing was not at all afraid of these four weakened Aspect dragons, so it was only natural for him to suppress them.
Seeing defeat imminent, countless red dragons bravely charged towards Deathwing, only to be torn apart and killed within seconds.
This only bought time and could not turn the tide of battle. As time passed, victory would still belong to Deathwing.
"Hahaha, you are no match for me. Surrender to me; this world should be destroyed."
"You cannot comprehend my pain. This world is too painful; I can no longer bear its whispers. Destroy it, and there will be no more pain!"
Alexstrasza struck her opponent with a claw, pushing him back, but she herself was sent flying.
"Nonsense, you fallen beast!"
Malygos seized the opportunity to unleash a long-accumulated spell, actually freezing Deathwing!
"You madman, you killed my wife! You are the one who should die!"
Ysera and Nozdormu seized the chance to attack, but to their surprise, the ice didn't even last a second. Instead, Deathwing used the momentum to send them flying, shattering many of their scales.
"Haha! You will all die! No one can kill me! I am Deathwing, the Earth-Warder!"
"Who dares to kill me?!"
Deathwing laughed madly, looking up at the sky. Under his absolute power, no red dragon was his match, none!
There wasn't a single one who could fight him!
Power is eternal; only with immense power can one do whatever they desire!
Deathwing slammed a claw down, his target surprisingly Krasus, and even Vereesa nearby could not escape harm.
Just as Vereesa was about to die under his claw, a voice suddenly rang out.
"I dare!"
As soon as the words fell, a red dragon crashed into him like a cannonball.
Caught off guard, Deathwing merely swatted the opponent away with a disdainful claw.
The next second, he was astonished to feel a never-before-experienced sensation of dizziness; he was actually unable to control his own body!
