The giant serpent's interference annoyed Eonar. Even though the creature was seriously injured, it could still cause so much trouble! She frowned constantly because, even now, another ordinary Titan had fallen—eaten by that rogue slime monster.
This Ancient God, resembling a slime monster, could completely absorb the attacks of its enemies. This didn't mean it could only take a beating and not retaliate. In fact, it always found opportunities to quickly squirm towards its target, then use its disgusting bodily tissues to surround and engulf the target. Before long, the devoured target would be transformed into its new energy.
The Titan who had been swallowed was clearly beyond saving.
This made Eonar somewhat agitated. She had rarely encountered such a difficult battle. In the past, she alone could ensure that thousands of Titans in battle, as long as they weren't instantly killed by the enemy, could be saved by her. Now, she could barely guarantee the safety of herself, Golganneth, and Aggramar, and couldn't even completely heal Aggramar's injuries!
"Damn Ancient God!" Eonar cursed inwardly.
Just then, she suddenly sensed the aura she was most familiar with and also most disgusted by—the aura of fel energy!
It came from the sky—she looked up and saw a meteor with a long, eerie green trail falling towards the center of the battlefield. The dense fel energy was emanating from it.
This was Kil'jaeden's most prized and most powerful spell!
Eonar glanced at it and determined the impact point of the fel-infused meteor. She was somewhat surprised because this meteor wasn't attacking her, but had instead targeted… the slime monster that was digesting the Titan it had just eaten!
Eonar was momentarily perplexed. Could it be that Kil'jaeden was kindly helping them?
Would the 'Deceiver' be so kind?
Or did Kil'jaeden think that by showing goodwill in this way, she would show mercy to the Burning Legion after dealing with the Ancient Gods? No, Eonar understood Kil'jaeden; he wasn't that kind of person!
He must be harboring some ulterior motive—but what could it be?
Eonar looked at the disgusting, squirming slime Ancient God and suddenly realized—this slime monster could absorb all the energy that attacked it to strengthen itself. If Kil'jaeden's spell couldn't kill it instantly, it would inevitably bring unparalleled massive energy to the opponent!
After all, this was Kil'jaeden's strongest spell. Honestly, all the energy that the slime had absorbed before might not be as much as Kil'jaeden's attack.
If that were the case, things would be terrible.
Eonar's expression changed drastically. She raised her staff and screamed, "Beware the demons!"
At that moment, six enormous energy vortexes opened up in the sky above the battlefield. Then, massive Legion fortresses emerged from the vortexes. The huge fel cannons on the sides and bottoms of the fortresses began to charge, the green light at the muzzles growing stronger and stronger. At the same time, the gates on all sides of the fortresses opened, and countless demons, formed into formations, poured out from within.
For a moment, the ground seemed to be covered by a sun-obscuring darkness.
The 'Deceiver' Kil'jaeden stood at the teleportation portal of the largest flagship, looking down at the crowd on the ground from high above.
"Boom!" The fel meteor he summoned crashed heavily into the slime monster, the dissipated energy blasting everyone around away. Giants or Old God minions with weaker bodies were directly vaporized. Even ordinary Titans were disintegrated in the air under such tremendous power.
As the direct target of the attack, the slime monster looked to be in very bad shape. Its body was blasted into fragments, each patch of sludge stained with burning fel flames.
Eonar's emotions were complex as she watched this scene—it seemed that the slime monster that had been giving them so much trouble was dead.
And the one who had struck the blow was the enemy she regarded as a major threat, among those soon to be purified.
However, when Eonar looked up and saw Kil'jaeden standing proudly on the flagship, she immediately felt very uncomfortable—what right did a demon have to be so high and mighty? What was so great about destroying an Ancient God? They had just killed two! And these demons only knew how to hide and conceal their strength, only to come out and pick up the spoils at the end!
She absolutely couldn't let Kil'jaeden get away with it!
Eonar immediately made up her mind.
Almost everyone thought the slime was dead, including the Titans of the Pantheon.
Although they were enemies with Kil'jaeden, they couldn't deny the powerful destructive force of fel energy. The slime monster had been blasted into such a state, and the fragments of its 'corpse' were still being continuously burned by fel energy. It probably wouldn't be long before it was completely reduced to ashes.
However, Kil'jaeden didn't think so.
He knew the power of the spell he had personally cast the best. He could sense that the fel energy on the slime monster's body was not continuing to unleash its power. Instead, the fel energy was being constantly absorbed, and it would probably be automatically extinguished after a while. At that time, the slime's bodily tissues would gather again, resurrecting in an even stronger form.
This was a crucial link in his important plan, or rather—a crucial link in Sargeras's important plan!
—
On the ground, Eonar was still pondering Kil'jaeden's thoughts. When she saw that the other party had "killed" the slime, she immediately felt that her previous speculation was somewhat unrealistic—if he wanted to "fund the enemy," he certainly wouldn't have acted so realistically. So, could it be that Kil'jaeden had really come to show goodwill?
However, the fel cannons on the Legion fortress quickly shattered this speculation.
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the Fel cannons completed a round of volley fire. This time, the demons operating the cannons didn't just target the Old Gods like their master Kil'jaeden. The Fel-infused cannonballs, except for avoiding demons, didn't distinguish between Titans or Old Gods.
It was as if the Pantheon simultaneously considered the Old Gods and the Burning Legion as targets for elimination; the Burning Legion acted in the same way.
Kil'jaeden never had any compassion!
The cannons awakened Eonar, filling her with rage. The Pantheon warriors in the midst of the battle lacked adequate protection against the demon attacks, resulting in heavy casualties during this round of volley fire. However, the giant serpent in the sky continued to display its power, interfering with Eonar's healing spells. She wanted to cast a group healing spell but failed four times in a row. Clearly, her opponent wouldn't allow her to succeed.
Healing a single target was manageable, but a mass heal? Hmph, the serpent wouldn't allow it!
After three rounds of bombardment from the Legion fortress cannons, the demon forces launched a full-scale assault. A large number of demons broke through from the northwestern corner of the battlefield. In that direction, the Old Gods' minions were few, with the majority being Pantheon forces.
This showed that the Pantheon was the Burning Legion's primary target.
Moreover, at this moment, the Fel flames on the slime monster's body had been extinguished. Those fragments that had been motionless, as if dead, began to wriggle towards a single location again. Before long, a slime monster larger than before appeared before everyone.
The Pantheon had been fighting the Old Gods for so long that the Old Gods had long regarded the Titans as mortal enemies, and they would naturally entangle the Titans relentlessly. This resulted in the Titans being unable to spare any effort to defend when the demons launched their attack.
For a time, the Pantheon was facing a two-pronged attack, finding itself in a difficult situation.
Eonar's expression changed drastically. The situation was now unfavorable, and she no longer had her previous confidence. If the situation continued to deteriorate, she would have to prepare to retreat!
Standing on the flagship, Kil'jaeden had been paying close attention to all of this. His eyes were fixed on Eonar, looking at her as if she were a trapped beast.
Now, he was the true hunter!
Kil'jaeden quickly found a suitable opportunity. He disappeared from his original location and instantly appeared behind and to the side of Eonar. At this time, Eonar had just cast a healing spell to heal Golganneth, who was fighting the slime monster and the Y'shaarj, when the serpent launched a mental shock at her.
This mental shock caused the female Titan to become slightly dizzy, and it was at this moment that Kil'jaeden launched his attack.
Eonar groaned. She swung her alabaster staff, shooting out a huge thorny vine, wrapping it around Kil'jaeden, who had just ambushed her. However, Kil'jaeden didn't try to take credit. He landed a hit and immediately retreated, and the thorny vine failed to entangle him.
Because of the dual interference from Kil'jaeden and the serpent, Eonar's healing efficiency was even lower than before. Coupled with facing more powerful enemies, the original balance was broken, and more and more wounds appeared on Golganneth and Aggramar, while the casualties among the ordinary Titans and giant troops increased even more rapidly.
Eonar's mind was in chaos. If this continued, they would have to retreat in at most one or two hours.
"Hehe," Eonar heard Kil'jaeden's familiar and hateful sinister laughter in her ears. She angrily unleashed a terrifying natural fury towards the direction of the laughter, where Kil'jaeden was rushing towards her.
She didn't hold out much hope of using this ball of natural energy to seriously injure Kil'jaeden. If there was no interference from the serpent, it might have been possible, but now she could only exert 30% of her usual power, making it impossible to catch the elusive Kil'jaeden.
But this time, she "miscalculated." The natural fury directly hit Kil'jaeden, blasting him into pieces!
How could this be!
Eonar stared wide-eyed in surprise.
This was absolutely impossible!
If Kil'jaeden was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't be the most cunning "Deceiver" in the universe.
Eonar immediately realized something was wrong. She shouted, "Be careful!", but it was already a step too late.
At this time, the real Kil'jaeden had already approached Aggramar, who was fighting fiercely with the Qiraji Old God, and launched a deadly surprise attack on him.
Aggramar sensed the danger a moment before being attacked, but he was already injured, coupled with the fierce attack of the Qiraji monster, he couldn't react in time and was immediately ambushed by Kil'jaeden.
The massive Fel energy heavily bombarded Aggramar's back, causing the bronze Titan to tremble all over, stiffening in place.
But his current enemy was not only the attacking Kil'jaeden, but also an even more difficult Qiraji Old God.
Although this Qiraji had no eyes or ears, it accurately seized this opportunity. It opened its huge maw, its mouth expanding to four times its usual size, and fiercely bit down on Aggramar, wanting to swallow this "Avenger" directly into its stomach!
Kil'jaeden now revealed a complacent smile, calmly taking the "Flame Ripper" from Aggramar's hand.
Previously summoning Fel meteorites and constantly attacking Eonar, all the calculations were for this moment.
Now, he had succeeded!
I owed a chapter before, but there are many things to do these days, I will try to make it up within this week.
