The King of Despair, Osiris!
During these ten thousand years, the other night elves had gradually forgotten the specific details of the War of the Ancients. But for Illidan, who had been imprisoned and had to face the same unchanging dark scenery all year round, what had happened in the War of the Ancients seemed to have happened just yesterday, and the scenes were still so clear.
Illidan stretched out his hand and gently scratched the cloth covering his eyes with his sharp nails.
Before the War of the Ancients, Illidan had a pair of golden eyes. Such eyes were very rare among the elves at the time, and the elves regarded them as a symbol of great destiny.
However, this pair of eyes didn’t make Illidan win Tyrande’s favor. She still chose his brother, Malfurion Stormrage…
It was undeniable that Tyrande not responding to his love was one of the reasons why Illidan thought of joining the Burning Legion. When Sargeras deceived Queen Azshara and introduced the Burning Legion to Azeroth, Illidan made a goal. He wanted to use his own method to defeat the demons and make Tyrande look at him in a new light.
But he also realized that he had to obtain powerful strength in order to defeat the Burning Legion, so he pretended to join the Burning Legion, hoping to use the power of demons to deal with the demons.
At the time, Sargeras was vexed because his true body couldn’t fully enter Azeroth, so when Illidan met him, he suggested seizing Neltharion’s Demon Soul and placing it in the Well of Eternity to expand the portal above the well, which would allow Sargeras to enter the world of Azeroth.
Sargeras was very satisfied with this idea. He felt that Illidan was sincere in joining him, so he gave him a gift. He personally blinded Illidan’s golden eyes and used powerful fel energy to give him the ability to see all kinds of magic and souls clearly. This was equivalent to giving him a pair of Eyes of True Sight.
Illidan would never forget the first scene he saw after obtaining these Eyes of True Sight.
He saw Sargeras. He saw the indescribableness of Sargeras. He saw unfathomable power and horror. It exceeded his understanding and even surpassed the existence of gods.
He also saw the endless fel energy in Archimonde’s body, the immense flames in Kil’jaeden’s body that could burn the entire world, and the countless demons on the planet Argus that were more numerous than the stars. At this moment, he realized how terrifying and irresistible the Burning Legion was.
Similarly, Illidan saw the King of Despair, Osiris. But unlike other demons, he didn’t see any fel energy in Osiris. He seemed to be different.
If this were all, it would have been fine. But what made Illidan most uneasy was that he saw a power that was even more dangerous and terrifying than fel energy in Osiris. Illidan didn’t know what this power was, but his intuition told him that the King of Despair was probably much more dangerous than Sargeras…
What surprised Illidan the most was that after obtaining the gift from Sargeras, just as he was about to set off to seize the Demon Soul, among the three commanders of the Burning Legion, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden had no interest in a pawn like him and left without even looking at him. Only Osiris came to him and threw a few bottles to him.
At the time, Illidan didn’t think much of it. But when he stood in front of the Well of Eternity and prepared to steal some well water, he suddenly thought of the bottles that Osiris had thrown to him.
Although Illidan successfully obtained a large amount of water from the Well of Eternity with these bottles, he felt his blood run cold when he recalled it afterward. He kept wondering if Osiris had already seen through his plan to betray the Legion and steal the well water…
Otherwise, Illidan couldn’t figure out why Osiris had thrown him these bottles…
Therefore, looking back now, Illidan felt that the one he feared the most in the Burning Legion was probably the King of Despair, Osiris. He had never been able to figure out this demon…
Now, Nordrassil had been destroyed, and the night elves had lost their homeland. But when Illidan learned that the person who had caused all of this was Osiris, he strangely felt that it was normal. Although this was the first time Osiris had taken action in his impression, Illidan wasn’t surprised that he could achieve such a result. Not to mention Nordrassil, even if Osiris destroyed the entire continent of Kalimdor, Illidan wouldn’t be surprised…
“Osiris has taken action. This demon king is even more terrifying and difficult to deal with than Archimonde. The Legion’s invasion won’t be so easy to repel…” Illidan said to Vashj. “We have to obtain stronger strength as soon as possible, or else it’ll be difficult to protect ourselves… How far are we from the Broken Isles now?”
Vashj replied in a hoarse voice, “Soon. We’ll arrive in about half a day.”
“Get the nagas to pull the ship faster!” Illidan said. “The sooner we get there, the better…”
But what Illidan didn’t know was that when his warship accelerated toward the Broken Isles, Maiev, who had been following him tightly, was also urging her ship to accelerate. In the end, there wasn’t much difference in the time when both sides reached the coast of the Broken Isles.
Although the restriction on the tomb in the temple sealing Sargeras had basically been destroyed because of Gul’dan’s visit twenty years ago, the maze-like structure inside the temple and the crazy demons contaminated by fel energy still caused a lot of trouble for Illidan. This delay gave Maiev the chance to catch up to him.
After Illidan entered the deepest part of the tomb, a room that Gul’dan called the Chamber of the Demon Eye, he finally found the purpose of his trip. It was the artifact shining with the light of powerful runes, the Eye of Sargeras!
Endless malice and dark power radiated from the Eye of Sargeras and spread to every corner of the room. Even though Illidan had already transformed into a demon, he still felt very uncomfortable when he saw the Eye of Sargeras. But he endured the discomfort and stepped forward to pick it up.
Illidan knew that the formidable dark power in this artifact was a mighty weapon for him to fight against the Burning Legion. He wouldn’t feel any burden in his heart when using this dark artifact, and he was never worried that he would lose himself in the darkness because he had always been loyal to his heart and knew what he wanted.
As soon as Illidan obtained the Eyes of Sargeras, Maiev, who had been hunting him down, appeared. At this moment, she was not in a good state. The Watchers who followed her had suffered heavy losses in the Veil of Sargeras, but this also increased her hatred for Illidan. She only had one thought now—no matter what Illidan wanted to do, she had to stop him, bring him back, and imprison him in the dark cage again!
Illidan also had a headache about the haunting Maiev. But now that he had obtained the Eye of Sargeras, he wanted to test the power of this artifact. Perhaps Maiev and her Watchers were the best candidates.
However, just as Illidan was about to infuse magic power to activate the power of the Eyes of Sargeras, a soul-stirring dragon roar suddenly came, vibrating everyone’s eardrums and shaking countless rubble and dust in the room.
“Where did this dragon come from?” Illidan and Maiev were doubtful. They could tell that the sound should have come from outside the temple.
In the end, Maiev reacted first. She flashed to Illidan’s side and attacked him, attempting to knock away the Eye of Sargeras in his hand.
Illidan held the Eye of Sargeras in his left hand and the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his right to block Maiev’s attack. The two of them began an intense battle in the room, and Maiev’s Watchers also fought against the nagas.
When the enemies met, their feelings were especially volatile. But Maiev was destined to be unable to complete her revenge this time because not long after she started fighting with Illidan, a wisp of black mist suddenly floated in throughout the entire Chamber of the Demon Eye.
More and more mist gradually filled the entire room, blocking everyone’s vision.
“What is this?!” Maiev and Illidan both bounced back and looked around in surprise.
It was pitch black in Maiev’s vision, but it was not like this in Illidan’s. He saw tiny glowing ‘flying insects’ drifting in! It made Illidan suddenly think of something. “Not good!” He wanted to call Vashj and the others to leave together.
But it was already too late. The black mist gradually drifting in began to gather and condense into a tall demon body!
Roy appeared. He appeared behind Illidan and pressed his palm on his head to stop him from escaping. He grinned sinisterly. “Illidan Stormrage, where do you want to go? Don’t you think it’s a little late to escape?”
Hearing Roy’s voice, Illidan felt a deathly chill run through his body. His entire body stiffened, and he didn’t dare to move. He said in disbelief, “Os-Osiris?! Why are you here?!”
“Because…” Roy looked at the Eye of Sargeras in his hand and said teasingly, “You are not the only one who wants to find the Eye of Sargeras!”
Not only did Illidan not dare to move, but Maiev and her Watchers also didn’t dare to move. It was the same for the nagas. Feeling the suffocating power coming from Roy, they all held their breaths carefully, and their bodies were wet. It was unknown if it was the cold sweat flowing out or the mucus on their bodies.
Vashj looked at Roy’s tall body, her eyes full of horror. She felt that her nightmare had returned…
Illidan finally recovered from his panic. After hearing what Roy said, he quickly said, “Lord Osiris, don’t get me wrong. I want to dedicate the Eye of Sargeras to the Legion!”
“Really?” Roy smiled, but he looked ferocious in the eyes of everyone. “In that case, I’m already here. Why don’t you offer me the Eye of Sargeras?”
“Yes… yes!” Illidan was conflicted. He didn’t want to hand over the artifact he obtained just like that, but he knew that he couldn’t resist Osiris. So after hesitating for a while, he stretched out his hand and handed the Eye of Sargeras to Roy.
Roy reached out to take the Eye of Sargeras, but he didn’t look at the artifact. Instead, he turned his head to look at Maiev and her Watchers.
Maiev abruptly returned to her senses and quickly shouted, “Sisters! Run away!”
While shouting, she had already escaped to the entrance of the room with Flicker.
However, just because she reacted quickly enough, it didn’t mean that the other night elves were also fast. When the night elves hurried to escape, Roy had already taken action.
A black bolt of lightning shot out from Roy’s fingertip and hit the nearest night elf, instantly turning her into charcoal. At the same time, the black lightning exploded into a giant electric net that enveloped all the night elves and nagas still in the room. Except for Maiev, who escaped with Flicker, only Illidan and Vashj survived in the entire room.
