Chapter 580: Prophet Velen....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shattrath City, a city buried deep in the mountains and valleys, was where the draenei lived after they were exiled from Draenor.
When Sargeras deceived and recruited the eredar of Argus, among the three leaders of the eredar, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden fell to temptation, while the prophet Velen saw through the lies of the Dark Titan through a prophecy and chose to reject Sargeras.
But this rejection also caused Velen to have no place on Argus. He could only leave the eredar race with some of his eredar followers and escape from Argus on a starship. Along the way, the Burning Legion hunted down Velen and his followers, and in the end, because the starship was damaged, they fell onto Draenor.
On Draenor, this remote world, the Burning Legion’s forces couldn’t reach here for the time being. Velen and his followers obtained a temporary respite, and they renamed themselves ‘draenei’, meaning exiled ones, to distinguish them from the eredar demons. They also built a city on Draenor, and this city was Shattrath.
The draenei’s respite did not last long. When the Burning Legion discovered Draenor, the existence of the orcs not only attracted Kil’jaeden’s attention but also allowed him to find the draenei. But this time, the Burning Legion didn’t take action personally. Instead, after luring and corrupting the fallen Orcs, they instigated these orcs to attack all the other races, including the draenei. The orcs attacked Shattrath City. The draenei resisted with all their might for a long time, but in the end, Shattrath City still fell. After the war, it was destroyed and turned into ruins, and the draenei suffered heavy losses and almost lost their entire population.
Fortunately, the orcs left after plundering Shattrath City. Then Kil’jaeden secretly controlled the orcs to open the Dark Portal and launch a war against Azeroth. The surviving draenei hid under the ruins of the city and struggled at death’s door while trying to find ways to restore the strength of their race.
However, before they could begin rebuilding Shattrath City, there was a massive explosion of Draenor. The unlucky draenei were finally lucky. Their Shattrath City happened to be in the Outland that was blown away, and they survived the catastrophe of the planet’s explosion.
It seemed that God was unwilling to let the draenei go extinct. Not only did Shattrath City survive, but just as the draenei were preparing to rebuild the city, the Sha’tar found them.
The Sha’tar, meaning ‘Born from Light’, is a faction of powerful naaru who had come to Outland to intercept and kill the Burning Legion. The naaru were a very mystical and mysterious race, a kind of sentient energy beings. They did not have human forms but were like patterns formed from mysterious runes. No one knew the origin of this energy creature, only that they possessed powerful holy light power and had always been dedicated to fighting against the Burning Legion.
When Velen escaped from Argus with his people, he had received the help of the naaru. The warmth of holy light gave the draenei the power to search for hope in the endless darkness. So when he saw the naaru again, the lost confidence of the suffering draenei returned.
Led by A’dal, the Sha’tar came to Shattrath City to find the draenei. They had come to investigate when they sensed that the Burning Legion was establishing a force in Outland. After discovering the draenei, they were moved by their fighting spirit, so they stayed in Shattrath City to help the draenei rebuild their homes. And this happened merely two years ago.
According to the original history, Shattrath City would have quietly developed under the noses of the Burning Legion. Although Magtheridon dominated Outland, the army he led focused on invading Azeroth through the Dark Portal, so he didn’t notice the existence of the draenei.
But Roy had appeared now. After taking over the Legion force in Outland, Roy recalled from his vague memories that there seemed to be the naaru in Outland, so he personally went to search and finally found Shattrath City.
At this moment, the reconstruction of Shattrath City had just begun. Most of the draenei survivors were still under the ruins. In order not to attract the attention of the Burning Legion, they had been keeping their movements as minimal as possible. But when they found a demon suddenly appear in the sky above the city ruins, the surviving draenei felt as though a bolt from the blue had hit them!
To be able to build starships to sail in the universe, the draenei’s technological level was naturally very high. After seeing Roy’s demon figure through the monitoring crystal, they were terrified and subconsciously held their breaths.
They didn’t know who Roy was, but demons that appeared in Outland only had one origin—the Burning Legion. So while carefully monitoring Roy, they quickly sent someone to inform the prophet Velen.
“It’s a demon of the Burning Legion. Have they discovered our existence?”
“No, not necessarily! Don’t make a sound, and restrain your aura. Perhaps this damn demon is just passing by…”
‘Yes, that’s very likely the case. Quick! Turn off all the magic equipment. Don’t make any noise, and don’t let any magic power fluctuations appear!”
After the draenei returned to their senses, they hurriedly responded. After escaping from Argus, the horror of the Burning Legion had left an indelible shadow in their hearts, so they immediately chose to hide.
However, there were also angry and unwilling draenei discussing in low voices, feeling that perhaps hiding was not a good solution. If this demon who suddenly appeared was alone, if they could kill him and erase all traces of his existence, they might be able to eliminate the risk of Shattrath City being exposed.
While Roy was circling above and observing the ruins of Shattrath, the draenei quickly divided into two groups. One advocated fighting, and the other advocated hiding. An intense argument broke out.
Soon, the group advocating fighting obtained the support of most people. It couldn’t be helped. The hatred of the draenei toward the Burning Legion was already engraved in their bones. Perhaps they were powerless in the face of the armies of the Burning Legion, but if they could kill the demons of the Burning Legion, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
A group of draenei carefully came to the ground and hid their traces with the help of the shadows of the ruined buildings. After forming an encirclement, they attacked Roy in the sky in unison.
Dozens of powerful magic lights suddenly flashed and turned into sharp arrows that flew toward Roy in the sky.
And at the same time as these draenei mages attacked, a voice resounded in the ruins. “No!! Stop!!!”
The one who shouted was Velen, who had just received the news and rushed over. He hadn’t been in Shattrath City but in the Zangarmarsh. During the war between the orcs and the draenei, in order to avoid the crazy massacre of the Orcs, a portion of the surviving draenei had hidden in the Zangarmarsh. Here, the draenei discovered a strange species—incomparably huge mushrooms. These mushrooms grew crazily in the Zangarmarsh, and just like the tall towers built by humans, they were exceptionally sturdy. After discovering these mushrooms, the draenei found a way to build a city on top of a cluster of mushrooms in a hidden corner. Then they hollowed out the interior of the mushrooms and used superb engineering methods to make floating platforms. The highest point of the platforms was tens of meters above the ground, a height that ordinary creatures could not cross. Just like that, they carefully hid their civilization, successfully avoided the pursuit of the orcs, and lived until now.
After receiving a magical message, Velen teleported over from the Zangarmarsh stronghold. When he appeared in Shattrath City, he felt Roy’s aura.
Ordinary draenei might not be able to feel Roy’s power, especially when he was actively suppressing it. But as a prophet who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Velen immediately determined Roy’s level. He felt terrifying power from Roy, and a few draenei mages definitely couldn’t deal with him.
Most importantly, he had seen Roy’s appearance clearly in the image displayed by the crystal!
The moment he saw Roy, Velen’s mind buzzed, and his wise brain almost crashed!
He would never forget the scene when Kil’jaeden and Archimonde accepted the power of Sargeras and turned into eredar demons. In this memorable scene, there was always a figure following behind the Dark Titan Sargeras…
Now, the appearance of this figure completely overlapped with the figure in the crystal image in front of him..
So when Velen returned to his senses, he immediately wanted to stop the foolish actions of his people.
But it was already too late. The magic arrows shot by the draenei mages had successfully hit Roy in the sky, and then… some dust rose from his body!
On the ground, the draenei mages stared blankly at the sky. They couldn’t believe that their all -out attack didn’t have any effect on this demon. In fact, the demon hadn’t even bothered to dodge…
“Sure enough, there are people…” Roy spread his wings and slowly landed on the ground. As he landed, he mocked, “I thought you would keep hiding, but I didn’t expect you to overestimate yourself and attack in the end!”
“Please forgive their recklessness… Lord Osiris!” Velen slowly walked out. “They don’t know how powerful you are…”
This oldest elder and leader of the draenei was wearing a thick white robe decorated with red and blue gems and a cloth packet. There was a golden pendant on the back of his neck that symbolized his status as a prophet. His hair had long fallen out, and his face was full of wrinkles. The white beard on his chin stretched all the way to his abdomen, and the tentacles on his beard were decorated with rings. On his forehead was a hovering purple rune, and this rune symbolized his status as the leader of the draenei and the Light’s Chosen.
The most striking thing was his eyes. If you observed these eyes carefully, you would see a complete starry sky in them, as though the light of the stars was converging in his eyes.
Roy felt a power not inferior to that of Kil’jaeden and Archimonde from this legendary figure, and this power came from holy light!
“But no matter what, they have to pay the price for attacking me!” Roy raised his hand teasingly, and a huge energy ball shining with black lightning instantly condensed in his demon claws. The aura of destruction contained in the energy ball almost suffocated the draenei mages.
Velen sighed. “Lord Osiris, please don’t joke with these poor children. I apologize to you on their behalf for their mistakes…”
The draenei mages looked at their prophet in disbelief, feeling that his words were unbelievable. This demon in front of them was a demon of the Burning Legion. Shouldn’t the prophet take action against such a demon? Why did it look like he was trying to communicate with him?
Roy also realized this and said in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll destroy this place?”
“You won’t do that…” Velen shook his head. “Among the three commanders of the Burning Legion, you’re probably the only one who can communicate with the draenei. So no matter what, I have to try…”
Roy crushed the energy ball in his hand and rubbed his chin with interest.. “It seems like you’ve seen me before… This is interesting…”
