Chapter 65
Four people came to the palace of the Banshee Queen Sylvanas; at this time, one large and one small wolf tooth club had already been set up, and besides, three sets of armor were placed to the side, two sets for women and one for men.
The wolf tooth club was originally black, but now it emits a silvery-white metallic luster; on Kaido's wolf tooth club, a hint of arcane energy flickers, and the handle is inlaid with several exquisite gems—purple, red, and green.
"It's done; your two weapons have undergone the finest enchanting, top-tier weapon engravings, and the inlaid gems are also top‑grade—each wolf tooth club has several corresponding gems inlaid, and the armor is ready. Try them out!" said Sylvanas.
These gems can boost the user's stamina, attack power, and burst power, and also grant a certain armor‑piercing effect.
Kaido nodded, stepped forward, picked up his large wolf tooth club, swung it twice, and found the weight had increased slightly, but it felt easier to handle.
Moreover, after taking up the wolf tooth club, he clearly felt his strength increase, and even his stamina went up considerably.
"Is this the weapon enhancement you mentioned? This weapon is really good; it actually boosts my strength and stamina." Kaido said, holding his new weapon.
Yamato also picked up his wolf tooth club A Jian, gave it a test swing, and found it easier to handle than before, with increased attack power, and it also boosts his strength, stamina, and various attributes.
"My Observation Haki seems to have increased a bit, and my Conqueror's Haki as well; this weapon also grants a bonus to the spirit." Yamato said.
"Really? I don't feel it at all." Kaido said.
"It's because you're too strong; even a big increase, you only feel a little bit." Yamato said.
On the other side, Luode also put on the dragon scale armor made from Kaido's scales; the entirely azure‑blue armor is inlaid with exquisite gems and other decorations, and its design is very exquisite.
It can be seen that, besides using Kaido's dragon scales as the base, these blacksmiths also added some rare ores and other materials.
After putting it on, a faint flow of lightning power can be felt, and there is also a scorching sensation.
The women's armor is also exquisitely styled, resembling a type of plate armor; Yamato's is blue‑white, while Sylvanas's is pure black.
"The armor is the same; after putting it on, my body has improved in every way." Yamato moved a bit and said.
The new weapons and armor have greatly increased her strength; she really wants to fight her bastard father again to test it.
"That's only natural; your armor is equipped with some strength gems, critical‑hit gems, and stamina gems."
"Luode's armor is inlaid with gems that boost mental power and intelligence, giving his spellcasting as a warlock some bonuses." Sylvanas said.
"On my own armor, I have inlaid gems that boost agility and stamina, and the engravings and enchantments strengthen shadow and necromancy magic."
All in all, everyone is quite satisfied with these few weapons and armor; Kaido is very pleased with his new weapon, and Yamato and Luode greatly appreciate the armor.
"Here you go, Luode; I specially picked this staff for you—it can slightly boost your power, and the staff you're using now is a bit too cold." Sylvanas produced a staff with a huge green gem set at the top, surrounded by a few scattered shards, the whole thing purple and exquisite, and said.
Previously, the staff Luode used was nothing more than a common item sold at the Stormwind magic shop.
Sylvanas had been watching. Earlier this brat teased her that her little armor was too cold, so now she wants to tease him that his staff is too cold.
As a top power of the Horde, the Queen of the Forsaken, Sylvanas, possesses astonishing wealth and collections; finding a top‑tier warlock staff for her is too easy.
"Hahaha! This is great stuff, so I won't stand on ceremony—I'll take it." Luode nodded and took Sylvanas's staff.
"The queen's free staff—don't refuse a free gift! Speaking of which, I really do lack a suitable staff right now."
This staff happens to give Luode's power a further boost; at the very least, casting fel spells becomes more natural and powerful.
However, when it comes to top‑tier warlock artifacts or implements, the Burning Legion has the most—especially the demonology warlock's artifact, the Staff of Sargeras, which is truly the prize; someday I must get my hands on it.
"All right, no more nonsense—let's get moving; I can't wait to find someone to fight." Kaido stood up and said.
Having just acquired a new weapon, he can't wait to find an opponent to test it on.
"Well then, let's set out! This time it'll be me, Kaido, Yamato, Sylvanas, Retenson, and Varimathras heading to Outland together." Luode said. He had already discussed with Sylvanas that this time they'd find a chance to kill Varimathras, that useless trash; better to get rid of him early.
By the way, in the 7.0 Legion final dungeon, Varimathras also appears, though he's already been tortured by the Legion into an inhuman shape.
Back when he betrayed the Burning Legion, plus his later failures, the Legion's punishment of him was enormous.
"My queen! If you leave Undercity, there'll be no one to command here, which isn't good; why not let me stay in charge of the remaining Forsaken, or you stay and I'll go to Outland with them?" Varimathras looked at Sylvanas and said.
This scoundrel; after the last news of Banazhar's death and resurrection, he began to doubt himself, and now this trip to Outland might put his life at risk.
"No need; I've already taken care of the Forsaken affairs. My dark elf rangers and dread guards will defend Undercity, and we're only going on a raid this time, so we'll be back soon." Sylvanas said.
"But, my queen, are you really going to risk yourself personally?" Varimathras's eyes shifted, and he said.
"That's right; I'm going myself. Are you unwilling to go with me, or do you have some other motive? Varimathras, do you dare defy my orders?" Sylvanas said.
This dreadlord's strength is among the weakest of the dreadlords; otherwise she wouldn't have been able to handle him so easily.
"How could I dare? My queen, if that's the case, then I'll come with you—I happen to know a lot about this kind of abyssal lord and could be of help." Varimathras shrank his head and said.
Damn it; my plan still needs more time to prepare, and among the Forsaken only the royal apothecaries have been influenced by me.
Now is not the time to turn against Sylvanas; I must make thorough preparations first.
"Hmph! Alright, let's get ready to depart!" Sylvanas said.
Everyone quickly assembled; the old orc Retenson and Luode, two warlocks, would be responsible for using fel magic, a imprisoning magic circle, and enslaving demons to bind the Abyssal Lord together.
As for the task of defeating him, it was left to Kaido alone to accomplish, while the others prepared to provide support, dealing with some grunts and the like.
Soon, the four blood elf mages began casting spells together, and a huge summoning gate appeared.
"Alright everyone, the portal is now open; you can go through now. This portal will stay open for one day, so you have only one day to capture that Abyssal Lord." said the blood elf mage in charge of maintaining the summoning circle.
Just in case, Luode secretly used the energy of the Space Gem to leave a spatial coordinate here; if those mages accidentally fail to maintain the portal, he can use that coordinate to bring everyone back.
Because a dreadlord was present, Luode did not reveal his Space Gem's power during his stay in the Undercity.
Everyone nodded, stepped through the portal together, and headed for the already shattered planet Draenor, now known as Outland.
As soon as they stepped through the portal, Luode and the others felt a wave of heat hit them; they stood on a stretch of crimson land, the surroundings barren wasteland, and the sky filled with all kinds of energy storms.
"This world is ruined; we need to be careful when we act." Sylvanas said.
"Our target is the Abyssal Lord Mannoroth in the lowest level of Hellfire Citadel; don't waste time, Kaido—transform into your dragon form and take us there." Luode said.
"You brat, do you know the way?" Kaido asked.
"Someone here knows the way; mentor, please trouble you to point out the location of Hellfire Fortress for us." Luode said.
As a top warlock of the former Horde, no one knows Outland better than Retenson.
"I never expected to have a chance to come back here; do you see that road paved with white bones? It was a road once laid by the orc clans, called the Path of Glory. Follow it forward, and straight ahead is Hellfire Citadel." Retenson stepped forward and said.
This is the sin once committed by the orc clans.
"Okay! Let's move!" Luode said, and Kaido suddenly swung the huge spiked club in his hand, hammering it at a certain dreadlord.
