Chapter 58: Forging Weapons, Kaido's New Function Unlocked

If you have my help, then it's foolproof, but don't trust too much in that Fear Demon Lord under your command; he's not a good thing. Luode said meaningfully.

The Fear Demon Lord race, even defecting to the Burning Legion isn't sincere; these guys are such that as long as you dare to take me in, I dare to go undercover at your side.

Most Fear Demon Lords are undercover in the Burning Legion, but a small part are undercover in the Holy Light Legion or other factions.

They are actually members of the Shadow Realm's Pantheon of Death: the Overlord Ravendish, the Tooth of the Shadow Realm, the Blood Ancestor, the Stone Descendant Demon Commander, the King of Wenshir, and Emperor Denathrius.

Put bluntly, this bunch is a pack of top-tier double-crossers; in the latest Warcraft storyline, Sargeras was captured by the Pantheon and taken back, and now the Fear Demon Lords are moving about, wanting to make Emperor Denathrius the new commander of the Burning Legion.

Damn it, this is eyeing the position I had my eye on; the Valimasas under Sylvanas aren't anything good either.

This guy joined under Sylvanas just to stir up trouble, and moreover Banazhaer isn't dead at all.

You seem to know them well? Sylvanas asked.

Fear Demon Lords have always been deceitful, extremely cunning, skilled in all kinds of schemes and plots; they are excellent lackeys of the Burning Legion,

The identity of Fear Demon Lords is rather special, and moreover, the Valimasas loyal to you could stab you in the back at any moment; dealing with them promptly is the correct choice. Luode said.

The best way to deal with these Fear Demon Lords is to kill them outright, then send them back to the Twisting Nether.

Moreover, we're about to bring Sylvanas through the portal, so he doesn't want to leave this time bomb behind.

If this is your suggestion, I'll consider it; this time we go to Outland, we'll find a chance to take action and kill him. Sylvanas said.

As for the Valimasas, frankly she doesn't really trust them either; over the years they've been stirring up trouble. According to the latest intel, back then Valimasas killed Banazhaer to pledge loyalty to himself, and he didn't even die at all.

Instead, he lurked onto Crimson Crusade Commander Dasohan; Dasohan was just defeated by the Silver Hand's paladins, revealing the Fear Demon Lord's true form.

Sylvanas specifically questioned the Valimasas about this matter; their explanation was:

Fear Demon Lords have various survival skills; he indeed killed Banazhaer then, but the other side might have some means he doesn't know about.

Since the new boss said so, let's find time to kill him! This trip to Outland is a good opportunity.

A wise choice—kill any Fear Demon Lord you see. Luode nodded and said.

I don't trust him much either, I just lack an excuse to kill him; Fear Demon Lords are highly skilled in shadow magic and some necromantic death magic; my death magic and deathly power were all taught by them. Sylvanas said.

Nonsense, these guys come from the Shadow Realm and even cooperated with the Warden Zovaal; of course they're proficient in death magic.

That Sylvanas lass, her first contact with the Warden was probably after Arthas's defeat; she still doesn't know about the Shadowlands.

As for matters of the Shadow Realm, he didn't want to dwell on them, so he changed the subject: 'Hey Sylvanas! I recall the Blood Elf race is highly skilled at crafting magic weapons; could you get them to help me forge a special spiked club?' Luode asked.

The spiked club Kaido uses in the pirate world is actually just a big iron rod, with no extra abilities.

But weapons in Azeroth are different—various enchantments, engravings, gem inlays, special forging, and rare materials; a good piece of equipment can also further boost Kaido's strength.

Armor and such, Kaido doesn't need it at all; for him it's optional.

Speaking of which, Kaido's defense is strong; after turning into Azure Dragon form, he also has scales—why not peel some of his scales off and try to forge them into armor? That should be pretty good.

Moreover, after Kaido turns into dragon form, he's several hundred meters or even over a kilometer long; taking a few meters of dragon hide shouldn't be a problem; given his regeneration, it should grow back soon.

By then, Kaido's scales can be used to forge armor, his dragon hide to make leather armor; the effect will be absolutely fantastic.

Dragon fangs, dragon horns, cough cough, even Kaido's dragon blood.

They might all have special effects; if we make potions or conduct alchemy experiments, who knows what unexpected gains we might get.

As expected of a dragon—indeed every part is treasure; should we go back and discuss with Kaido? Peel off scales, strip some skin, draw some blood, etc.

Forging a magic spiked club poses no problem; the Blood Elf clan has long owed me a favor—if it's just crafting a weapon, they'll help; tell me the specifics of how to forge it. Sylvanas said.

It's just forging a weapon, no big deal; the Regent of the Blood Elf clan, Luosema Selon, is still my former subordinate.

If we want to make it bigger, my companion is over seven meters tall, basically a small giant; let's set the spiked club's length at about five meters, weight in tons—at least around ten tons. Luode said.

With Kaido's current strength, wielding a ten‑ton spiked club is no problem; even a bit heavier, he can still swing it.

What are you joking about? Ten‑ton weight? Forging such a weapon isn't that simple. Sylvanas said.

A weapon over ten tons, if given to other ranger units or spellbreakers for weapon crafting, could equip an army of several hundred.

Help me out; I'll give you some special dragon scales with astonishing defense—how about letting you craft a piece of armor as payment? Your current armor's defense isn't great. Luode looked at Sylvanas, smiled, and said.

Look at the armor you're wearing now—so scanty it only covers three spots; everything that can be exposed is exposed.

Honestly, this cool‑looking petite armor—is it more tempting to enemies or does it actually have strong defense?

Anyway, you need to change into armor that can cover your body.
