Chapter 569: Source Armor
Yun had never experienced an earthquake in person, and he could only imagine what an earthquake was like based on what he saw on TV. According to common sense, the ground should shake back and forth constantly during an earthquake. However, at this moment, Yun, who was high in the sky, could see everything that happened on the ground. He saw that the originally flat land suddenly began to have strange protrusions, and its shape and size made Yun think of the scene of a volcanic eruption on TV.
At this moment, the system's emotionless prompt sounded in Yun's ears: "Abnormal phenomenon 2/5 found."
Hearing this voice, Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart: "It has come to such a critical moment, but the mission can still be completed?" But then he thought, if the mission is really completed at this point, it means that these abnormal conditions in front of him were indeed caused by Naxxramas!
Recalling the plot in the game, a huge crack once appeared in the Barrens. Could it be that the same scene will be staged here? Although the population living in this area is not large, if it is really caused by Neltharion rushing out from the center of the earth as set in the game... then the most critical question at the moment is-has Deepholm arrived here? After all, Therazane is still in Northrend, so Deepholm is likely not here yet.
So what happened to Neltharion now? Did something happen to his body? Was the source armor successfully forged? Everything I saw was completely different from what I remembered! Could it be that Neltharion was not in Blackrock Mountain at this moment, but went to some unknown place to forge source armor? Think about N'Zoth again. It had been fighting fiercely with me before, and had no time to have any contact or communication with Neltharion. In this way, it seems unreliable to say that Neltharion was eroded by N'Zoth. However, since the system has issued such a task to detect abnormal phenomena, it is enough to prove that Neltharion must be in trouble.
Yun stared at the ground, and saw that it was becoming more and more bulging, as if a huge force was brewing and accumulating. It can be imagined that once this force completely erupts, its power must be extraordinary. And the nearby Flame Fortress is likely to suffer an extremely heavy impact. Thinking of this, Yun couldn't help but worry.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Although he knew that with his current ability, he might not be able to play a big role, Yun still made a resolute decision - no matter what, he had to give it a try!
Yun floated lightly to the top of a small hill nearby, but the ground beneath his feet kept shaking, as if the entire hill was about to collapse, which made Yun unstable for a while. However, he did not panic, but slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and tried to calm his heart.
As his mind gradually calmed down, Yun began to concentrate, mobilize the energy in his body, and gather it into the air. Rays of golden light shot out from his body, intertwined in the air, and gradually condensed into a huge golden sword.
This was the first time that Yun tried to create such an item without any existing skills, relying entirely on his own control and understanding of energy. What was even more surprising was that this golden giant sword was something that had never been seen before in this world. It was obvious that Yun had temporarily succeeded in this attempt, which also gave him confidence in further improving his efficiency in energy application.
The huge golden sword was constantly absorbing the energy transmitted by the cloud, and the sword body gradually became clearer. At the same time, a powerful elemental storm formed around the sword, with lightning and thunder, and the momentum was terrifying. Some elemental energy continued to flow towards the cloud along the energy connection between the cloud and the giant sword.
Facing such a violent elemental storm, Yun almost forgot about it. After all, this kind of power is known to surpass the strength of the user. If he rashly fights against it, he might get into a lot of trouble. So, Yun made a quick decision, mobilized all the energy in his body, and suddenly inserted the giant sword in his hand straight into the most bulging part of the ground.
The earth was like a deflated ball, and huge dark energy gushed out from the place where the sword was inserted. The dark energy rushing into the sky quickly swallowed up the sword made of energy and collided with the elemental energy in the sky.
The collision of the two energies brought about countless explosions, crackling in the air. The explosions brought about a large amount of energy wind that blew up all the sand around, forming a huge sandstorm.
Yun was a little puzzled. How could dark energy emerge from the ground? Yun felt that this energy should be the energy of the Old Gods, but where did so much of the energy of the Old Gods come from? If you were to talk about Titan energy, Yun would think of Archaedas, but when did the Old Gods visit here? Neltharion's dark energy? But isn't he in Deepholm?
"Lord Yun!" Such a big commotion here is bound to attract the attention of others. Yun was standing upright at this moment, and his figure was very conspicuous. There was no doubt that the visitor would notice him at first sight. However, what Yun never expected was that the person who appeared in front of him was Onyxia.
"Why are you here?" Yun was surprised by Onyxia's sudden appearance. Onyxia looked worried and said softly, "I noticed something was wrong, so I came to take a look."
"What's wrong?" Yun asked hurriedly. After thinking for a moment, Onyxia replied, "I feel that my father's will seems to be a little disordered, and his behavior is becoming more and more... unpredictable."
"Hmm? Confused mind? Did he say anything strange?" Yun frowned and continued to ask. Onyxia shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then added: "I don't have much contact with my father, but my brother has a lot of contact with him. But last time my brother told me to find a place to hide and not come out no matter what happens. This sounded a bit strange, and the Black Dragon Legion has been behaving strangely in recent days, so I couldn't help but decided to come and take a look."
"Nefarian? Can you still contact him now?" Yun frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "Has the Black Dragon Legion behaved in any unusual or strange way recently?"
Onyxia shook her head worriedly and said anxiously: "We can't contact him at all! That's why I feel that things are very strange. What's worse is that those research projects that have been proven to be wrong and worthless have been restarted! This is really worrying..." Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
After Yun pondered for a moment, he nodded and said to Onyxia decisively: "Well, I have a general understanding of the situation. You should quickly find a safe place to hide, and I will take care of the rest of the things here."
Hearing Yun say this, Onyxia looked up at him in surprise and asked anxiously: "Do you know what happened?"
Yun shook his head expressionlessly and replied coldly: "I don't know the specific situation at the moment, but judging from various signs, this matter may not be that simple. I originally went to Blackrock Mountain to find out what was going on, but was stopped by Lashler. But now that this situation has occurred, I must go deep into Blackrock Mountain to check it out myself."
Onyxia looked determined and said without any hesitation: "Then let me go with you! After all, one more person means one more powerful force." Her tone was firm, as if she was ready to set off at any time.
However, Yun shook his head gently and advised earnestly: "You should find a place to hide first. Since Nefarian specifically asked you to hide, there must be an important reason. You just need to hide obediently and follow his arrangements."
Onyxia frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with Yun's proposal. She puffed out her chest and retorted: "But no matter what, I am a member of the Black Dragon Legion after all! How can I stand by and stay out of any situation? Besides, with me accompanying us, it will be much easier for us to enter Blackrock Spire." As she spoke, she waved her arms, as if to emphasize her ability.
Yun was silent for a moment, then patiently explained again: "You should listen to your brother's instructions. You will surely encounter many difficult situations when you go deep into Blackrock Spire this time. As for my strength, do you still have doubts? After Nefarian and I confirm the specific situation, if I really need your assistance, I will contact you in time."
Hearing this, Onyxia's expression eased a little, but she could still see her reluctance deep in her heart. Finally, she sighed lightly, nodded helplessly and said, "Okay..." Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she knew that Yun's strength was unfathomable. If Yun couldn't properly handle the current situation, then even if she insisted on going, she would probably not be able to play a big role.
"So what's going on here?" Onyxia asked, staring at the dark energy gushing out like a surging tide in front of her.
"I'm not too sure. I just know that there's a lot of dark energy gathering underground, and it was about to explode. I didn't have a better solution at the time, so I just poked a small hole to give it a try." Yun explained innocently.
"This place...the Abyss Furnace should be located below, but there shouldn't be such a huge amount of dark energy in the Abyss Furnace!" Onyxia frowned and said worriedly.
"Huh? Abyss Furnace? What the hell is that?" Yun was shocked when he heard this, realizing that he had come into contact with something that had never appeared in the game before, and this mysterious thing was most likely the culprit that caused the current situation.
"Well...it's actually a place dedicated to forging weapons." Onyxia's eyes were a little evasive when she spoke, and her words were quite vague.
"Oh my, it's already come to such a critical moment, why are you still hesitating here? Do you know? This powerful dark energy is very likely to come from Nefarian. Maybe the reason why he fell into madness is due to this dark energy. Now, the only thing I can do is to do my best to help you get through this disaster." Yun said seriously, with a mixture of truth and lies in his words.
"So serious?" Onyxia didn't expect it.
"I don't know yet, but you have seen so much dark energy. You can't say that I created it." Yun said, pointing to the energy that was still erupting.
"This..." Onyxia hesitated.
"I'm not asking you to do anything, just tell me what you know. Do you think anyone can stop me if I just charge in? But if I keep charging in, I'm afraid that by then your Black Dragon Legion..." Yun continued.
"Well, actually I don't know much. This Abyss Furnace is a place where forging is done by guiding the energy of the molten lava from the earth's core." Onyxia said.
"There's nothing special about it." Yun didn't understand. It was just a place where weapons were made. What was there to hide?
"Well... this is where my father suppresses the abnormal energy in his body." Onyxia continued.
"Hmm? Abnormal energy?"
"Well, it is said that he was injured by violent energy during the battle with Galakrond, so this energy will always have an impact on father in the future. It can only be suppressed in the magma here."
"Oh." Yun thought that this really beautified himself. It was because he coveted Galakrond's power and used the Dragon Soul to injure the other guardian dragons, so that he obtained a large piece of Galakrond's flesh and blood. Otherwise, how could he be eroded by Galakrond's violent energy? However, there was no need to explain to Onyxia at this time.
"Of course, they also used this place to forge weapons before, but the news I got was that they were smelting source ore here, and it seems that they were going to make a set of source armor, but I don't know what they were doing specifically."
"Smelting source material? A lot?" Yun asked with some concern.
"I don't know. Generally, source ore is added to other metals to increase their wear resistance, but I don't know about making armor." Onyxia said.
"Okay, I understand." Yun's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Do you know something?" Onyxia asked.
"You should hide first. This is not easy to handle." Yun finally understood.
