LIVE: Azeroth

In order to ensure that Sarlayan could increase the winning rate as much as possible when fighting Kil'jaeden, in this battle, he exclusively owned two of the five Pillars of Creation artifacts, namely the Shield of Aggramar, which specializes in defense. And the Hammer of Khaz'goroth, which was borrowed from Highmountain not long ago.

Among the remaining three artifacts, the Tears of Elune are still in the custody of the Dark Night Republic. In fact, this thing does not have much use. It is nothing more than a portable high-power energy supply source.

The Tidestone of Golganeth is still held by Azshara personally, which is one of the reasons why Sharlayan entrusted her to sit in the center and take charge of the overall situation.

If the main force is still intercepted on the Broken Shore and the Burning Legion tries to break through the siege net set up by the coalition forces from the water regardless of sacrifice, death or death, Azshara can also drive the Tide Stone to give them a big "surprise" at the critical moment.

The final Eye of Aman'Thul is in the hands of Elisande, and it is currently operating efficiently.

Sarlayan has mobilized almost all available resources for this long-prepared battle.

After using the Shield of Aggramar, the Black Dragon Scales, G'huun Steel Skin, and his own powerful self-healing ability to defeat Kil'jaeden's unexpected trick, Sarlayan followed the idea of ​​never being disrespectful in return. With his backhand, he took out the Hammer of Kazgoros and hit it heavily on the ground.

According to legend, the Hammer of Khaz'goroth was the tool used by Khaz'goroth, the Shaper of the Pantheon, to transform the landscape of Azeroth. It was not originally an artifact that emphasized destructive power.

To put it more simply, the original function of this thing was a large forging hammer, which assisted Kazgoros in shaping the shape of the world.

Perhaps even Kazgoros himself never thought that the creation he left to himself, the forging hammer of Azadas, would fall into the hands of a mortal and become an infinitely powerful killing weapon.

Sarlayan had studied the power of Khazgoroth's Hammer in detail, and specifically asked Azadas for advice on how to use this artifact.

The Hammer of Khazgoroth contains extremely powerful shaping power. As long as it is an inorganic object, this Titan Forging Hammer can easily change its appearance and even its inner structural essence.

Yes, only inorganics.

After all, Kazgoros does not have the power of life, and the tools he uses naturally do not have special attack effects on life.

Therefore, Sarlayan did not directly use the Hammer of Khaz'goroth to attack Kil'jaeden himself. Instead, he struck the holy hammer on the ground, instantly changing the landscape within a certain range.

The sudden rise of a large number of rock spear pillars made Kil'jaeden, who was recovering from his ultimate move, quite embarrassed to resist.

In order to unexpectedly cast the Darkness of a Thousand Souls level of skill, Kil'jaeden had to endure a lot of spell backlash.

Although Kil'jaeden and Archimonde look huge and powerful, they are still essentially classified as spellcasters.

In Sharlayan's words, unlike Archimonde, Kil'jaeden has muscles, but doesn't know how to perfectly use the potential contained in these muscles.

This is the habitual thinking of spell casters. Even if their physical fitness is not bad, they will always habitually try to distance themselves from the enemy and use spells to solve problems.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if Sarlayan were to stand in Kil'jaeden's position, he would be able to mobilize his powerful physical fitness to temporarily suppress the impact of spell recoil due to his almighty magic weapon.

Unfortunately, the Deceiver cannot do this. His habitual spell-based fighting style determines that he is not the kind of person who is good at using physical advantages.

It is true that the power of Khazgoroth's Hammer cannot directly cause damage to the enemy's body, but the shaping power contained in this artifact hammer can cooperate with the user to change the battlefield environment to his own advantage in a very short period of time. appearance.

After Azadas's personal guidance, Sarlayan combined with the usage experience provided by the Highmountain Tauren, and developed another method of indirectly damaging the enemy by greatly changing the environment.

The place where Sarlayan and Kil'jaeden fought was in the square in front of the Night Fortress, but this seemingly lifelike square was actually in a different space. This was the time when Elisande used the Eye of Aman'Thul in advance. A special battlefield created by power, a special time slice, or in other words, a world bubble.

Therefore, Sarlayan can radically transform the environment in this dedicated battlefield without any scruples, without worrying about any actual impact on the city of Suramar.

The endless emergence of huge rock guns and elusive dungeons forced Kil'jaeden, who was in poor condition, to be trapped. He often just escaped the direct attack of the rock guns, and then turned around and was restrained by the suddenly rising dungeons. From Kil'jaeden's perspective, it seemed as if the entire world had become hostile to him in an instant, leaving him unable to find a way to break the situation.

That's not to say that Kil'jaeden is completely helpless against the current situation. Under normal circumstances, he can forcefully break this fictional narrow world bubble with the huge instant burst of evil energy, but... who makes him feel a little short of power now.

Unable to inflict serious damage to Sharlayan with one move, Kil'jaeden himself was the one who suffered.

But Sarlayan also knew that this situation was only temporary.

Although his combat experience is not as good as that of the Defilers who have been conquering the country all year round, Kil'jaeden is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His frustration at the moment is just to prepare for a strong counterattack later.

Therefore, Sarlayan did not desperately try to kill the Deceiver in a short time with all his strength. He was very patient and continued to use the rock gun to find the enemy's weaknesses.

As mentioned before, Sharlayan, who had experienced many battles, quickly discovered Kil'jaeden's weakness in melee combat.

In the face of the crushing situations he encountered before, Kil'jaeden was able to cover up his weaknesses well with his greater absolute strength, but when fighting against enemies of the same level as Sarlayan, this was never the case. The shortcomings that can be compensated are particularly eye-catching.

Not to brag, but from this point of view, Archimonde, who is brave and good at fighting, does better than Kil'jaeden.

However, Archimonde also had his own problems, which was that he was too superstitious about his own power, which made his behavior rather reckless. In the end, he died in the Azeroth coalition specially arranged for him because of his character flaws. On the trap.

No one is perfect, and Sarlayan never believed that a person could really overcome all his shortcomings. Even he himself did not dare to pat his chest and say that he had done it.

The experience of fighting in the sky and on the battlefield when he was young still had some impact on Sarlayan. Even though he had tried hard to suppress his desire to fight, once the time came to fight, he still unconsciously gave up his usual rationality. Thinking, attack routines become simpler and more direct, relying more on instinct than thinking.

In order to suppress this flaw, Sarlayan thought of an off-board trick.

At this moment, Stella Gosa is sitting in the Dark Night Fortress maintaining a high degree of soul connection with Sharlayan.

Once Little Xingxing discovers that Sarlayan is getting emotional, she will immediately give a calm tip and artificially cool down Sarlayan's brain.

Of course, this kind of off-site support also has its limits.

"Tsk!"

Seeing that the several flaws he deliberately sold failed to lure Sharlayan to attack regardless of the consequences, Kil'jaeden smacked his lips with some regret: "You kid, you are so young but you are so experienced, you are really difficult to deal with. enemy."

"That's fine."

Kil'jaeden, who was gradually recovering, didn't want to act anymore. He changed his embarrassing attitude of dodging left and right, and regained the calmness and strength at the beginning of the war.

"Since we can't defeat you with tactics, then... let our men see the truth!"

"Ha~"

Under the deliberate guidance of the Deceiver, the fragment of time constructed by Elisande became riddled with holes under the ravages of Khaz'goroth's Hammer, and it was almost unsustainable.

In view of this, Sarlayan stopped adding fuel to the fire, took back the holy hammer that had consumed a lot of energy, and took out his usual weapon again.

Sarlayan, who was holding a gun (staff) in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, took a deep breath, and showed a slightly ferocious smile to Kil'jaeden, still full of fighting spirit: "I agree, let's start the second round that determines the outcome. !" (End of this chapter)
