"Roar!!"
A more ferocious, more ancient roar, filled with pure destructive intent, suddenly resounded from the depths of Ashenvale, like a death knell from the abyss!
This sound is not a sound wave in the physical sense, but an impact that directly affects the soul!
Throughout the entire battlefield, whether it was the fleeing orcs, the cheering night elves, or the prepared Rhodes and others, their souls seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, instantly suffocating them!
The sky was instantly covered by thick, churning, sulfurous fel clouds, blocking out the sunlight! An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a tangible tsunami, swept in! The earth groaned, and ancient trees twisted and cracked under the invisible pressure!
Several enormous green meteors fell from the sky, crashed onto the ground, and then transformed into giant hellfires over 5 meters tall.
A terrifying shadow, so large it blotted out half the sky, appeared before them, accompanied by a scorching storm and the stench of sulfur.
It has a massive, mountain-like demonic body covered in dark red scales. Each flap of its enormous bat wings unleashes a devastating storm. Its ferocious head is ablaze with fel flames, and its thick tail ends in a deadly bone hammer!
In its hand, it held a massive, double-headed spear, as large as a battering ram, burning with green, malevolent flames!
Lord of the Abyss—Manolos!
Rhodes felt unimaginable pressure. Only when he actually saw the Abyss Lord did he realize how terrifying these monsters were. Their bodies were larger and stronger than dragons, and they were monsters that were over 10 meters tall and over 20 meters long.
Only Cenarius can deal with this monster; the others can only provide support from the sidelines. He and Uther can summon some Holy Light elementals to assist in the battle.
Grommash Hellscream's master, the true manipulator behind the dreadlords, and one of the Burning Legion's most powerful ground commanders!
Its enormous eyes, burning with malevolent fire, swept across the ravaged battlefield, finally settling on Grommash, who lay kneeling on the ground, his weapons gone, like a candle flickering in the wind.
His eyes were filled with naked, undisguised disappointment, contempt, and... anger at the wasted investment.
"Useless! You couldn't even tear apart an old human paladin! You orc and your filthy clan are not worthy of the power bestowed by the great Mannoroth!" Mannoroth said, looking at the old orc who was lying on the ground unable to get up.
Chapter 121 The Terrifying Abyss Lord, Ma Fat's Strength
Grommash struggled to lift his head, looking at the terrifying presence that blotted out the sky. Mannoroth's words were like the most vicious curse, piercing his proud soul.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, wanting to roar, but the excruciating pain in his chest from the burning holy light and the tearing magic, along with the rapidly draining demonic power within him, prevented him from uttering a single syllable.
Only those crimson eyes stared intently at Manolos, burning with humiliation, resentment, and a trace of... hatred—a hatred he himself was unwilling to admit—for the demon who had given him power and then pushed him into the abyss. This demon really wanted to drag you down with him!
Forgive me, Thrall, I have once again succumbed to demonic power. I am a hopeless fool.
Mannoroth spewed two jets of scorching sulfurous smoke from his enormous nostrils, seemingly having completely lost interest in Grommash. Like a giant, moving mountain of flesh, Mannoroth finally locked onto the center of the battlefield—Cenarus, the forest demigod radiating powerful natural divinity and standing ready for battle!
As for the others, he didn't even consider them a threat.
“I’ll have to do it myself, Cenarius…” Mannoroth’s voice carried a cruel mockery, “You’re the one who slipped through the net ten thousand years ago, I will personally take your head.”
The massive spear slowly rose, its tip pointing at Cenarius. The fel energy sphere gathered at the spear tip emitted a destructive wave, enveloping the entire forest in the power of fel energy.
The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly shifted from grim and desolate to suffocating despair!
Rhodes had no doubt that the hellfire summoned by Mannoroth could easily crush the gold and diamond men he had summoned. These units were no longer of any use, so Rhodes put them all away.
Cenarius's enormous antlers shone with an unprecedented emerald brilliance, and the power of nature surged around him, like an ancient behemoth facing its natural enemy, letting out a silent roar!
Uther gripped his warhammer tightly, the Holy Light becoming more concentrated than ever before.
Jaina and Caponia turned pale; they could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from the Abyss Lord!
Without any hesitation, Rhodes took out the Fire Elemental Summoning Scroll, then infused it with holy light power, directly summoning eight holy light elementals.
Then he handed it to Uther, who, after receiving the scroll, summoned twelve Holy Light Elementals. Twenty holy Holy Light Elementals floated around the group, which dispelled some of the fel energy.
Mannoroth's massive body stirred up a whirlwind that tore the earth apart with a mere movement. With a casual sweep of his thick tail, a towering ancient tree was snapped in half like withered grass, crashing down and crushing several orc warriors who couldn't dodge in time.
“All of you step back! This is not a battle you can interfere in,” the demigod Cenarius stepped forward.
Rhodes and Uther exchanged a glance, then together gave the order to attack.
"Holy Light elemental attack, dispel evil."
Twenty Holy Light Elementals flew through the sky and charged directly at Manonos, intending to use them to weaken him first, since they were just cannon fodder anyway.
"Insects!" Mannoroth's gaze swept over the lightforged lifeforms that tried to attack him with holy light, his eyes filled with pure contempt.
He didn't even use his spear; he simply took a deep breath and let out a deeper roar, filled with fel energy!
"Roar--!!!"
The invisible shockwave of fel energy spread out like a tangible tsunami! The more than twenty holy light elementals summoned by Rhodes were like candles flickering in the wind in the face of this pure dark energy. They didn't even have time to utter a wail before they were instantly shattered and annihilated, turning into specks of light that disappeared into the polluted air.
This scene left Rhodes speechless. Was he kidding? Was Mafia really that awesome?
These 20 Holy Light Elementals are far stronger than the Fire Elementals, and Holy Light can also suppress the demon's evil energy. They were killed with just one roar!
"Rhodes, Gina, stand behind me, keep your distance. This guy is incredibly powerful, stronger than ever before." Uther gripped the Silver Hand warhammer tightly, looking at Mannoroth with a serious expression.
All the holy light within his body was gathering towards him, and he even felt that this was his last battle.
At this moment, the Fel Roar shockwave emitted by Mannoroth had already arrived.
"Holy Light above! Protect us!" Uther's pupils contracted sharply. He raised the Silver Hand warhammer high, gathering holy light from his entire body to form a massive barrier of holy light in front of him.
Mannoroth's fel energy shockwave slammed into the barrier, producing a screeching sound. The barrier shook violently, its light dimmed rapidly, and Uther himself was pushed backward by the force, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground before he could barely regain his balance, his face paling.
A mouthful of blood gushed out. Seeing this, Rhodes quickly cast a healing spell on him. In this situation, healing was better than holy light.
Uther's situation improved somewhat when the green light shone upon him.
Rhodes' heart nearly leaped out of his chest. This was merely a casual roar from the Abyss Lord! Was he kidding him?
"Behold the power of the great Abyss Lord, you ants!" Mannoroth sneered, unleashing a fel energy blast from his giant spear towards Rhodes and his companions.
Without the slightest hesitation, Rhodes summoned his two most powerful units, the angels. A dazzling light flashed, and two angels with pure white wings on their backs and wielding greatswords burning with holy light descended onto the battlefield!
One of them wielded the original weapon, while the other wielded the Holy Light Judgment, a weapon reforged from the Emperor's divine weapon.
"Angels, purify evil!" Rhodes immediately issued the attack order.
At this moment, the demigod Cenarius also began to exert his power. Huge vines surged from all directions, directly binding the massive abyss lord, and a green light struck Mannonos.
The angel wielding the Holy Light Judgment let out a clear and melodious shout, flapped its wings, and transformed into a golden streak of light, carrying intense holy light power, and fiercely slashed at Mannoroth's thick, pillar-like hind leg!
Another angel followed closely behind, slashing his greatsword at the abyss lord's tail.
Clang! Bang—!
Two deafeningly loud bangs!
The Holy Light Judgment Sword slashed fiercely at Mannoroth's leg, which was covered with thick scales, and burst out with a dazzling golden-green light!
However, the anticipated scene of limbs being severed did not occur.
The Abyss Lord's hard scales were only split open in a small way, and a little bit of dark green fel blood gushed out!
The blood dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling, corrosive sound, instantly turning the rocks and soil into a bubbling fel swamp!
The attack from the other angel was blocked by Mannoroth's seemingly clumsy but actually incredibly swift tail. The bone hammer collided with the holy light greatsword, sparks flew everywhere, and the angel was thrown back by the enormous recoil.
"Damn creations of the Holy Light again! I will destroy you!" Mannoroth roared furiously.
Its massive body suddenly turned around, and its enormous spear swept across with earth-shattering power!
The sphere of fel energy that had been gathered on the spearhead exploded instantly, transforming into a thick beam of destructive light that shot straight toward the angel wielding the Holy Judgment!
The angel tried to block with his greatsword, but the power contained in the beam was too terrifying!
The greatsword of holy light let out a mournful cry the moment it came into contact with the beam of light, and the light on its blade dimmed rapidly! Then, the beam of light slammed into the angel's body!
"Ugh—!" The angel let out a shrill scream as its holy body rapidly disintegrated and burned under the corrosive influence of fel energy. It lasted for less than two seconds before completely dissipating in the blinding light and the explosion of fel energy, leaving only a few drifting feathers burning with green flames.
Another angel was also caught in the terrifying gale brought up by the sweeping spear, and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Fortunately, this one had the Holy Light Judgment, so he was not instantly killed, but he was left with only a sliver of health.
Holy crap, the angel was killed in one hit! Upon seeing this, Rhodes immediately struck Ma Pang with two bolts of lightning.
But the result was not as expected. The terrifying power of thunder was dispelled by the evil energy emanating from the Abyss Lord, and Manonos was unharmed by the two lightning bolts.
"Your turn, you horned coward!" Manolos grinned, his massive body striding forward, the earth cracking beneath his feet.
He raised the double-headed spear, which was as large as a mountain, high, aiming it directly at Cenarius, who was waiting in battle!
Cenarius's face was solemn as his massive stag hooves sank deep into the earth. He clenched his fists, and the power of nature gathered wildly. The ancient trees around him seemed to come alive, and thick vines wrapped around his arms like giant pythons, forming a huge emerald shield made of living forest.
At the same time, countless thorns gleaming with cold light rained down from the ground and from the air at Manolos' massive body, attempting to interfere with and weaken him.
However, these thorny spikes, which were sharp enough to pierce orc plate armor, mostly bounced off Mannoroth's scales with a crisp "clinking" sound. The few that did pierce only penetrated a little over an inch before being burned away by the fel flames.
This damage is like a mosquito bite to the Abyss Lord's massive body!
Mannoroth's spear slammed down with a devastating beam of fel energy! The beam was not a simple impact, but a continuous torrent of fel energy, like a high-pressure water jet, relentlessly pounding against Cenarius's Emerald Shield!
Sizzle—!
A piercing sound of corrosion and energy annihilation rang out! The incredibly resilient vines and ancient trees withered, charred, and crumbled rapidly under the onslaught of fel energy! The radiance of the Emerald Shield dimmed at a visible speed!
The ground beneath Cenarius's feet shattered and caved in under the immense pressure! The demigod gritted his teeth, his natural divine power surging forth as he desperately tried to maintain his shield, but it was clear to everyone that he was simply enduring it; his body trembled slightly as he bore unimaginable pressure.
Cenarius is no match for Magtheridon.
Chapter 122 A Bloodthirsty Nature, Working Together to Slay Fat Ma
"Pathetic Cenarius! Your era is over!" The Pit Lord let out a sinister laugh, as if victory were already upon him.
"A demigod!" Rhodes was extremely anxious; Fatty Ma's strength was quite formidable.
Cenarius's Emerald Shield groaned under the devastating torrent of fel energy from Mannoroth!
The vines were charred and broken, the ancient trees crumbled into ash, and the barrier constructed by the power of nature melted and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The demigod's enormous body trembled violently under the impact, and the ground beneath his feet collapsed, creating an ever-deepening crater. The Abyss Lord was the Burning Legion's ultimate weapon for destroying the world!
Its combat power is even stronger than that of a dragon, not to mention that Mannoroth is the most powerful individual among the Abyss Lords.
"Lord Cenarius!" The night elves present were all shocked. They had not expected that the duel between the demigod and the pit lord would not be evenly matched, but that Manonos would have the absolute upper hand.
Uther's eyes widened in fury as he suppressed his surging blood and energy, pouring the last and purest holy light within him into the Silver Hand warhammer without reservation! The warhammer erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light, as if he were holding a miniature sun.
"Rhodes! Weaken it with your magic! And strengthen me and the demigod at the same time!" Uther roared, raising his warhammer high above his head. This time, it wasn't a slash, but a pure outpouring of energy!
Usr began to summon the Holy Light with all his might. A thick pillar of Holy Light, condensed to its extreme and with a diameter far exceeding that of the previous pillar, was like a spear of divine punishment, carrying the will to purify all evil, and slammed into Mannoroth's hideous head!
This was the Lightbringer's ultimate strike, fueled by his burning faith in the Holy Light, solely to buy Cenarius a chance to breathe!
The pillar of holy light slammed into Mannoroth's head, which was covered in thick bone spurs! The golden-green energy exploded and annihilated violently!
