Chapter 270 120. Aenarion Bloodline and Six
"Should it be?" Darkus said with a sigh. He seemed to understand the second half of this passage. The content on the stone tablet also reminded him of the correspondence between the Lizardmen's chronology. one thing.
In Imperial Calendar 2376, the entire continent of Lustria became a more powerful death trap, and the flora and fauna on this land entered a new period, becoming more productive and accelerating reproduction. The jungle has become more dangerous and full of more cold-blooded predators. Even the lizardmen must be extremely careful when walking in the jungle. If they are not careful, they will be wiped out.
"Wouldn't the prosperity of all things begin in advance because of the appearance of me, the Wheel of the Universe~? The constellation of the ancient saint Iqi was lit up, shining again and guiding the way forward for the lizard people? This is too idealistic!" Da Keus thought briefly. After succeeding the ancient saint Ichiumak and the Witch King, he might have another title of Wheel of the Universe? The problem is that he is not thirty yet! If he had lived for a few hundred more years, his title and titles might have been comparable to that of Settra, the supreme king of Nehekhara, right?
"Let's move on to the next one." Darkus turned his head and looked at Malekith, who was looking at him. He grinned with a polite yet awkward smile and said.
The content on the next slate is even more interesting, but this slate does not tell the story of the lizard people, but about N'Kari, the chief demon keeper of Slaanesh.
"This record is interesting. It's about the Chaos Monarka of Slaanesh. Do you still remember it?"
"Of course! Of course I remember! My father killed it twice!" Malekith thought for a moment. Said later.
Na'kari, also known as the "Soul Skinner", "The Flesh Seducer", "The Great Seducer", "Bejeweled" and "Slaanesh's Chosen" is the most powerful guardian of the daemon legion of the Chaos God Slaanesh. By.
Na'kari first appeared in the medieval world during the Great Invasion. Aenarion's first wife, Eternal Queen Estari, was killed by it. Later, it was killed by Aenarion. Although it is the great demon of Slaanesh, its actions also bring about change. If Estari had not died, there would be no Morathi. Without Morathi, there would be no Malekith, and without Malekith, there would be nothing. . .
"Arrogant mortal, I let you go last time in order to experience the feeling of failure. Now, I have absorbed thousands of souls, and I am invincible. Feel honored, I will send your soul to the Prince of Darkness, You will feel pain and joy under His whip." - This is what Na'kari said when he met the first Phoenix King Aenarion for the second time.
At that time, the Great Maelstrom was being activated, and the chief demons of the Four Chaos Gods appeared there, trying to prevent the establishment of the Maelstrom, but nothing happened. These Chaos Demons failed and fell to the Kai held by Aenarion. Under the sword of grace.
This was the second time Na'kari was killed by Aenarion. After that, Na'kari did not return to the Chaos Demon Realm, but was imprisoned in the Maelstrom for nearly six thousand years. During these six thousand years, it has been longing for revenge.
The temporary solution to the Maelstrom became unstable over time, and in Imperial Calendar 2173, Na'kari finally managed to escape from the Maelstrom.
The pair of scion of Aenarion, destined for greatness, engaged in the final battle with Na'kari in the Temple of Asuryan, and as Tyrion was swept away by a huge claw, Teclis launched his own attack.
Although Teclis lacked Tyrion's strength and vitality, his crippled body contained a mastery of magic. He struck Na'kari with all the magical fire he could muster, and when the magic arrow struck, Na'kari was blown away. Na'kari screamed in agony as a powerful arm passed through the eternal flame as he rolled over Asuryan's flame-burning pedestal.
Ordinary flames cannot leave traces on Nakari's skin, but facing this holy fire from Asuryan, it is defenseless. The holy fire spread across its body, burning more and more fiercely as it spread.
Relying on the power of Teclis to summon the Phoenix God Asuryan, the Tai brothers, who debuted at the age of sixteen, successfully banished Nakari.
This was also the third time Nakari was killed, and this time it was banished back to the Demon Realm of Chaos.
Darkus always thought that the Tai brothers relied on their own strength to defeat Nakari, but what he didn't know was that Asuyan took action, but Asuyan did not save the warriors who followed the Tai brothers, nor did he save Asuryan, the priest who guarded the sanctuary, gave his divine power to the Tai brothers.
"We were in the temple of Asuryan at that time, and God was protecting Himself." However, as the chosen one of the Bloody Hand God, Tyrion said this in the subsequent conversation. In his opinion, even for a being as powerful as Na'kari, a direct attack on the Asurayan temple would be an act of self-destructive arrogance.
Tyrion decided his own destiny. He chose which path he should take. He may not even remember why he was still taking that path, but the important thing is that he did it. "
According to Teclis, it will take at least a century before Nakari can be summoned again, or change his form and come out of the Chaos Demon Realm.
Then, things start to get interesting, Imperial Calendar 2300 Malekith used a ritual to summon Na'kari before attacking Ulthuan again. Na'kari responded to his call. Na'kari was originally prepared to kill him because he was also one of Aenarion's bloodlines. , but he was very well prepared, using spells and ancient magical artifacts to control Na'kari.
During the Battle of Ulthuan, Malekith asked Na'kari to hunt down Aenarion's second bloodline descendant. Alarielle, the eleventh generation Eternal Queen who was only a few days old, was there at that time, and the Tai brothers were there, and then there was no more. During
this period, Na'kari had not yet returned to its full glory, and the ancient saint's chain bound it to this in the world, but inhibited it from exerting its full strength.
During the battle, Teclis keenly discovered the problem. In his opinion, this creature was a bit strange. Nakari was not only bound by magic spells, but also by some Bound by an ancient magical artifact bound to its wrist, the thing was nearly as powerful as the demon.
The ancient magical artifact radiated awesome power, and Teclis could not tell what kind of artifact it was, all he knew was that It shouldn't be from the hands of elves. Perhaps, judging from the runes on it, it could be made by a Slann Mage Priest, or even a creature that ruled the Slann Mage Priest in ancient times.
Teclis only knows the ancient The magical artifacts are made in a way that even Caledor Dragon Tamer cannot replicate. The magical artifacts are not only powerful enough to bind a Chaos Demon indefinitely, but also have other effects, maintaining Na'kari in the Middle Ages. existence in the world.
Under normal circumstances, an entity as powerful as the Chaos Demon would not be able to maintain the physical form of the medieval world for a very long time, unless the winds of magic blow much stronger than usual. Normally, only Chaos demons can only do this when it is very dangerous, such as when the star gate is fully open or when there is no maelstrom. The last time this happened was during the reign of the first Phoenix King. Teclis used the unlocking spell
, He used his power to untie the complex magical rune circuits tied to his wrists. All the chains fell to the ground in an instant.
Nakari opened his claws and laughed. She seemed to follow the new power and dark evil Teclis
knew that he only had one chance, and the spell of banishment came out of his mouth.
The outline of Nakari's figure began to blur before he was overjoyed, because there was no chain to anchor him in the medieval world. If its existence is determined, it will become unstable again.
Teclis manipulated the winds of magic around him, increasing the medieval world's rejection of the Great Demon of Chaos, helping reality drive Na'kari back into her realm of Chaos.
Na'kari realized what was happening and strode towards Tyrion, determined to exact revenge on one of her brothers.
Teclis cast another spell of pure damage, and a huge magical energy rushed towards Nakari, turning Nakari into ashes with magic flames, and Nakari screamed and disappeared.
This is the fourth time Na'kari has been banished by Aenarion's bloodline.
Then there was the battle on the Finnua Plains. When Tigris and Malekith were having a magical duel on a mountaintop, he used spells and will to activate the remaining Asurayan that was attached to Malekith. Fire, and then he released the full power of Lilith's Moon Staff, gathering huge magic power to construct a huge arrow of destruction.
"The Dark King will die, but not by swords and arrows, but by dark magic. His body will also be swallowed up by fire and will burn forever." At
that moment, Malekith suddenly thought of the prophecy of destruction . content, isn’t this exactly right? Nothing wrong! Then he left the Drukhi army and ran away, and ran into the Chaos Demonic Realm. He walked under the fortress walls in the Chaos Kingdom. He met Nakari again, where the demon's power was at its peak. He was on the verge of death, but after a fight he took away a horn on Nakari's head.
In the year 2452 of the Imperial Calendar, Nakari appeared in Naggarond. As a result, the situation was reversed this time. The weak one was exiled back to the Chaos Demon Realm by Malekith's dual physical and magical attacks.
This is the fifth time Na'kari has been banished by Aenarion's bloodline.
The last time was the time of the end, between the winter of 2524 and 2525 in the Imperial Calendar, when Na'kari captured the ancient Spire of the Moon and transformed it into a decadent palace, emulating its master's blasphemous kingdom.
Thus began the Battle of the Moonspire, the largest battle in the war to regain the lost lands of Ulthuan. Thousands of Chaos Daemons gathered beneath this ancient tower. They are not out of loyalty, but because they want to share everything Na'kari has gained in the mortal world.
Nakari was sure she would win this time, and as it succumbed to its arrogance, it forgot that the dark gods it served were not the only gods, nor were they the only ones with great power. The Spire of the Moon was Lilith's temple, and Teclis, as Lilith's chosen god, used magic to defeat it.
Tyrion's Sun Flame Sword pierced deep into Na'kari's spine. Na'kari knelt on the ground. The Sun Flame Sword flashed again, and Na'kari's head fell off its shoulders.
This is the sixth time Na'kari has been exiled by Aenarion's bloodline, and this is also the last time it appears in the medieval world. Ironically, the number of times it has been exiled coincides with Slaanesh's holy number, 6! "After it was killed by the first-generation Phoenix King for the second time, it was not exiled back to the Demon Realm of Chaos, but was trapped in the Maelstrom. It is a demon, and time is meaningless to it, even the weird time of the Maelstrom Changes in it cannot affect it. As time in the outside world passes, the vortex is gradually weakening. It will take revenge on Aenarion and all his bloodlines." Darkus pointed to the hieroglyphics on the stone slab. Said verbatim.
"The Great Demon of Slaanesh? Just come to me! I will break off the horns on its head, and I will banish it like my father!" Malekith roared, without taking the sun. Yan Sword stretched out his right hand, and the Midnight Armor creaked as his hand clenched into a fist.
Malekith's madness frightened Chupa Coco, who was looking at the slate attentively, and Mazdamudi's telepathic connection to him was also weakened.
Darkus shrugged and said nothing. What is written on the slate are all the bloodlines of Aenarion, but there seems to be no direct connection between Na'kari's bloodline revenge against Aenarion and his bloodline of the Hellscourge family? But he estimated that he might have some contact with Nakari by then. Who made Slaanesh pay attention to him?
"What about this one?" Malekith said, pointing to the stone tablet that Darkus had not deciphered.
"Nothing, it's about the prophecy that this world will be destroyed in the end." Darkus said casually. He stood there thinking about something, looked at Malekith and said seriously, "We Will it prevent the end from happening? Right?"
Malekith looked at Dacus. Although he and Dacus were traveling on the same road now, he knew what Dacus' ultimate goal was. , the unpleasant thing is that I don’t want to die.
Long ago, when Malekith was a child, his mother told him the truth. There is no heaven, no hell, and no afterlife as the priests say. In the terrifying realm of Chaos Demon Realm, Chaos Daemons devour the souls of the dead just as they devour the strong emotions of the living.
Only a small number of souls will enter the realm of the Pale Queen Eth Haiai, or enter the holy soul reef worn around Darkos' neck. This has been confirmed by Malekith's father, who has seen more of the workings of the universe than any man alive before or since.
"Yes! This world will not be destroyed! Instead, it will become everlasting and glorious again with our efforts!" Malekith said firmly, and all his hesitation seemed to follow the guidance of Dacus He personally retrieved the Yang Yan Sword and then disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Malekith felt a long-lost sense of happiness and comfort. His plan was in progress. With the addition of Darkus, the wheel of the universe, he had a strong desire to finally conquer Ulthuan. confidence.
So far, everything was going as expected, Malekith wasn't stupid enough to think there wouldn't be setbacks, nor was he stupid enough to think everything would go according to plan, but he and Darkus still had some time to adjust, He could continuously accumulate resources and strength, and he believed that this would be enough to destroy any threat that might arise.
"Let's go, it's time to go back, I'm a little hungry." Darkus patted the shoulder of Chupa Coco, who was once again looking at the stone slab in a state of concentration, and said to Malekith.
Strange thoughts flashed through Darkos's mind, what is the time? How does it work? What makes us move irreversibly into the future at the same speed every day? Is it true that gods and demons live outside of time, with multiple selves everywhere and at any time? Is this how prophets and seers sometimes glimpse the future?
"Can I have a look at that sword?" The strange thought flashed away. Darkus carried Malekith's Destroyer on his shoulders. As he was walking in the passage, he suddenly looked at Malekith. asked.
Malekith didn't say anything or hesitate. He just glanced at Darkus, put down the Supreme Demonic Shield, untied the sword belt of the Sun Flame Sword and handed it to Darkus.
Darkus saw all this, and Malekith disarmed himself like this. He thinks this is because Malekith currently trusts him, and of course Malekith can easily retrieve weapons or use magic if necessary.
Darkus handed the Destroyer on his shoulder to Malekith, took the Sun Flame Sword and pulled it out of its sheath. Like the Scarlet Sword, for a moment, the Sun Sword felt very heavy to him, and he could feel the weight of the Sun Sword tightening his fingers and wrists. However, it only took a while for him to adapt to the weight of the Yang Yan Sword, or it could be said that the Yang Yan Sword was adjusting to suit him.
The blade of the Sun Flame Sword began to shimmer with light, just like the Scarlet Sword, as if the flame was trapped in the sword.
After Darkus handed the scabbard of the Sun Flame Sword to Chupa Coco next to him, he pulled out his scarlet sword from the scabbard. Then he held the Sun Flame Sword and the Scarlet Sword in both hands in the narrow space. waved a few times in the passage. The two swords left two flashing traces in front of him, which he could vaguely catch with his eyes even if he didn't know magic.
"It's really magical. The weight and balance of the two swords will adjust, just like a living thing."
There are other spells on the two swords, and the fascinating complex magic circle implies powerful power. He did not recklessly activate the flames in the double swords and let the flames spurt out from the sword tips. This was in the passage. He did not want to die young again, nor did he want to follow the footsteps of spicy chicken shreds.
Darkus could feel the flames of the two swords resonating within the blades, probably traces of Aenarion and his generals coming into contact with the two weapons. He seemed to have an illusion. He could feel the fiery ferocity of Aenarion and Caledor echoing in the swords, and even thousands of years could not stop it.
Caledor Dragon Tamer was not a warrior, he never wanted to fight, it was not in his nature, he was forced to. He is the creator, and Aenarion is the destroyer. Even these swords he made reluctantly, but he did his best under duress. He devoted all his talents to his creation, even if it was not his original intention.
"In the center of the blades of these two swords, there is the element of fire, the spirit of fire, captured by Caledor Dragon Tamer. It burns within, and its life force drives the blades. You can release it by touching the spirit of fire. part of its power. But you can't do this too often, you'll overdraw the Fire Spirit's life force, and possibly lose all magic in the sword. If you use it, you'll need to give the sword time to regain its power. It's like a An elf that has lost too much blood needs a certain amount of recovery time, or let Drusala use magic to nourish it like your clan mother did." At this time, Malekith seemed to have turned into an elder and began to He warned Darkos with something he already knew.
"These two swords are like the history of our entire elven race. They bear the marks of Aenarion and the dragon-tamers of Caledor, and are echoes of that glorious age. Now, I hold Aenarion in my hands at the same time. and the sword his general once held. Think of how many times they fought the Daemons of Chaos with that sword in their hands. Aenarion! The original Phoenix King carried this in most of his early battles against the Daemons of Chaos. Sword. May it bring you more good luck than before!"
Darkus sighed and inserted the scarlet sword back into the scabbard, then took the scabbard of the Yang Yan Sword and inserted it. Then he handed it to Malekith, who also handed him the Destroyer.
"To be honest, I prefer using a mercer sword to a long sword. My first victory was achieved with a mercer sword." There was an obvious hint in Darkus' words. He also used his hands when speaking. Hold the Destroyer and swing it a few times.
Malekith understood what Darkus meant, and when he was about to say that he could give the Destroyer to Darkus, Darkus continued.
"But I can't do that, at least not now. It would be a great bad omen if Aenarion's sword is stained with the blood of the elves! This is the sword of heroes! It should be used to fight Chaos Demons! "Dakeus put the Destroyer on his shoulders again, he shook his head and said.
There are only so many weapons currently known to be available, and Darkus also rejected the kindness of the God of Bloody Hand and the Kain Dimensional Sword. He has coveted the Destroyer for a long time, and he wants to bring him over. He really likes the Mersel sword compared to the long sword, and he used the Destroyer and Malekith in Naggaroth with Malekith. Wearing the Yang Yan Sword has the same political significance.
"The sacred fire of Asuryan rejected me, but it did not reject my father! I am just relying on my birthright to take back what belongs to me!" Malekith said with some excitement, but he did not tell Da It took Keus a moment to react and then said, "I don't know either! But sometimes when I look at you, I can almost feel the stars of destiny lining up behind you. To be honest, I especially want to know the stars that symbolize destiny. What's the formation behind you. I don't know how much of it is intentional and how much is fate or the manipulation of the gods?" "
What do you want to know? I can tell you, you know I am Very generous!"
"I am beginning to think that your generosity and kindness are also a weapon! To be more precise, it is a display of superiority! I don't like it!" Malekith avoided Darkus's words. Question, he said with a laugh.
"I'm surprised it took so long for an elf as smart as you to realize this!" Darkus said with the same laugh.
The laughter of Darkus and Malekith echoed in the narrow passage. Chupa Coco listened in a daze on the side. He could understand a few words, but he could not understand the meaning of the words.
"I'm thinking what if I hadn't asked you to be my adjutant?"
"Would I have maintained limited contact with the Hellscourge family? And then walked around the world? Used my own method to revive the lizardman race? So? To deal with the Chaos Demon and the coming of the end?" Darkus walked and asked himself questions. He did not say that maybe another bloodline of your father would come here to open the secret chamber a hundred years later. After all, it was full of forebodings. All the bloodlines of Aenarion were written on the stone tablet. At this time, the trio had already walked out of the pyramid.
A group of skinks had been waiting outside for a long time. The leader was a skink priest whom Darkos didn't know. He waved to the skink priest and motioned for the skinks to come in.
"I can't wait to see the expressions of the Druchis when they see you holding the Sun Flame Sword." Darkus said with a smile.
It's okay to go back to Spicazuma. Druchi there is still a little bit reliable. Things will only start to ferment when Malekith returns to the Black Ark Temple of Malice with the Sun Flame Sword. With Druchi News of this gossiping character will immediately spread to every level of the entire Black Ark Fleet. When Malekith returns in the morning, the entire Nagaros in the far north will know about it in the afternoon.
Darkos also knew that many powerful people in Naggaroth were the lovers of Malekith's mother, and they privately swore to serve Morathi. Maybe something different will happen when Malekith returns to Naggaroth with the Sunfire Sword he took the risk to find? At least Malekith can escape the shadow of his mother's PUA and point his Sun Sword at Morathi.
At the same time, this also gives a valuable opportunity to those wavering powerful people who think that they are not aware of this fact and now is not the time to tell them their stupidity.
Malekith thought of something after Darkus' words. He looked forward to that day with some relish. The one thing he hated most was disloyalty!
"Are there any other exciting adventures to look forward to tomorrow?" Malekith suddenly asked while the skinks were carefully carrying the stone slabs back and forth.
"Of course, there are endless things to do every day, but the protagonist tomorrow is not you, and certainly not me!"
