However, Illidian was overthinking. After Roy heard that Illidan wanted to steal the Dragon Soul, he agreed to his request without a second thought.

It couldn’t be helped. Sargeras had handed the task to him, and he was still wondering where to find Neltharion. Fortunately, Illidan came to him first. So he didn’t waste any time and directly launched a huge magic projection in the palace. He first contacted his true body on Argus, and then his true body asked Julia and Benia to find Sargeras.

Through the projection, Roy reported to Sargeras. When Sargeras heard that Illidan had offered to steal the Dragon Soul to help the Legion open the portal faster, he was overjoyed.

He ordered Illidan to come forward. After Illidan stepped forward nervously, Sargeras saw his golden eyes.

A night elf with golden eyes like Azshara? Sargeras suddenly felt a little unhappy because she had contacted him several times in private recently. But unlike in the past, the fiery look in her golden eyes made him very uncomfortable.

Ever since her meeting with Roy, Azshara had revealed her desire to become Sargeras’s wife, but Roy had not reprimanded or mocked her. This night elf queen became more and more fond of fantasizing. She felt that since a commander like Osiris did not object to her becoming Sargeras’s wife, wouldn’t this matter be very promising? So in the subsequent exchanges with Sargeras, she became bolder and bolder.

Roy didn’t report this matter to Sargeras, so Sargeras only felt baffled. He didn’t understand what Azshara meant by the hints in her words, but he felt that her expression made him very uncomfortable.

So Sargeras subconsciously frowned when he saw Illidan’s golden eyes.

Of course, Azshara was Azshara, and Illidan was Illidan. Sargeras could still distinguish this clearly. He naturally had to reward the people loyal to the Legion. In order to let Illidan complete the mission better, he was not stingy with bestowing power to him. But out of displeasure with Illidan’s golden eyes, he simply burned them.

Sargeras covered up this act of personal pettiness very well because he ‘gifted’ Illidan a pair of Eyes of Magic Dispelling, orbs of mystic fire set in place of his eyes that allowed him to see all forms of magic clearly.

At the same time, there was also Sargeras’s secret technique—fel energy infusion!

In front of the magic projection in the palace, Illidan screamed as his body slowly floated into the air. Sargeras’s power passed through the magic projection and reached his body. His eyes spewed flames, and with the infusion of fel energy, numerous ferocious magic patterns began to appear on his body.

Roy stood at the side with his arms crossed and watched. He found that Sargeras was quite cautious. The fel energy he gave Illidan was not strong, and it was not even enough to demonize his body. If Illidan wanted to transform into his demon-winged form in the future, he would have to wait until he found the Skull of Gul’dan.

Soon, Sargeras’s gift dissipated, and Illidan fell from the air. The pain he had suffered made him sweat profusely, but he still raised his head, looked at the magic projection, and thanked Sargeras for his gift.

What he saw with his new eyes was incredible. The Eyes of Magic Dispelling that Sargeras had given him allowed him to see the fel energy permeating Sargeras. It was so immense that it made him despair. In addition, there were three people standing beside Sargeras. One was Kil’jaeden, and the other two were Julia and Benia. Although these three people were not as strong as Sargeras, they were still existences beyond Illidan’s reach. But what puzzled him was that the two demonesses… were clearly suppressing their strength. Why was this?

Before Illidan could figure it out, as his gaze moved, he saw something that made him feel even more despair and fear. A little behind Sargeras’s tall body, a demon exactly the same as Demon King Osiris existed, and the power emanating from this demon was not only comparable to Sargeras’s, but the power in him was not fel energy either. Instead… it was something that made Illidan even more terrified…

As Illidan looked over, Roy’s true body, far away on Argus, was stunned for a moment. Recalling the function of Illidan’s eyes, he had suppressed his strength to the demon king level. But he didn’t know if Illidan saw through him, so he restrained his aura again. ƒreewebɳovel.com

But this instead made it seem like he was covering it up. Illidan realized that something was wrong and quickly looked away, afraid of attracting Roy’s attention.

No matter how stupid he was, when he saw a demon identical to Roy appear far away on Argus, he knew that the Demon King Osiris standing in the palace was only a clone…

Damn it. The Burning Legion is actually so powerful?! Do we… still stand a chance of winning?

The magic projection was large enough for Illidan to see a little of Argus. Not only did he see Sargeras and Roy, but he also saw the countless demons on Argus. The despair in his heart was conceivable.

Roy was the King of Despair, so he immediately sensed the intense despair emanating from Illidan. But before he could say anything, Illidan forcibly suppressed this despair, surprising Roy slightly.

It had to be known that despair often made people have the urge to self-destruct. Usually, very few people could forcefully suppress this emotion. Illidan’s willpower was really admirable.

After Sargeras gave some instructions and Illidan agreed, the magic projection closed. Illidan bowed to Roy. “Lord Osiris, if there is nothing else, I will go on the mission…”

“Okay, go!” Roy nodded and waved him away without saying anything else.

After leaving the palace, Illidan realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat. In the limited time he had, he had seen the power of the Burning Legion and understood how terrifying this force was.

But he also discovered some things that puzzled him. In the projection, the two demonesses were clearly not much different from Kil’jaeden in terms of strength, but they didn’t seem to be commanders of the Burning Legion. Moreover, the positions of these two demonesses were closer to Demon Osiris. Were they his subordinates?

As for Demon Osiris… Illidan couldn’t see through him. He could feel that Osiris’s power was immense, but it didn’t seem much compared to Sargeras’s. But Illidan knew that the energy permeating Osiris was clearly suppressed and concealed, so he had doubts.

It would have been fine if Osiris were alone, but even the two demonesses under him were suppressing and concealing their strength. What was going on?

Is there something happening inside the Burning Legion that I don’t know about?

Thinking of this, Illidan immediately made a decision. He felt that he absolutely couldn’t let Osiris know the function of his eyes, nor could he tell others about Osiris suppressing his strength. Otherwise, the first to be unlucky would be him.

The Eyes of Magic Dispelling that Sargeras had given Illidan was actually a dual use of arcane and fel energy magic. It was a trick that Sargeras had thought of in a flash of inspiration. These Eyes of Magic Dispelling were a very useful ability for Illidan, but Sargeras wouldn’t use them himself because there was no powerful magic that he needed to break. With his strength, he could just brute force through, so there was no need to dispel anything.

Therefore, neither Sargeras nor Kil’jaeden realized that Roy’s strength level was the same as Sargeras’s after his return. They had been deceived by Roy’s concealment methods and still didn’t know.

The only one who saw some clues was Illidan, but he didn’t dare to say anything…

Anyway, I’m blind. I don’t know anything!?Illidan thought to himself.

He only followed his mission plan to search for Neltharion’s lair and steal the Dragon Soul from him.

But there was such a thing as coincidence. In addition to Illidan having designs on the Dragon Soul, there was another group of people with designs on the Dragon Soul.

They were the Chosen Three, Broxigar, Rhonin, and Krasus, as well as Illidan’s brother, Malfurion Stormrage.

Like Illidan, Malfurion and the others realized the importance of the Dragon Soul. In fact, just as Roy had said, the power of this divine artifact was secondary. What was important was its nature. The Dragon Soul had the power to control and suppress the other four great dragonflights. As long as this object was still in Neltharion’s hands, it meant that the other four great dragonflights couldn’t participate stably in the war against the Burning Legion because no one knew when Neltharion would jump out and stab the dragons in the back.

Therefore, Krasus and the others had the idea of stealing the Dragon Soul. Only by holding the Dragon Soul in their hands could they continue persuading the dragon army to participate in the war.

However, when both parties had this idea and went to Neltharion’s lair in Highmountain to steal the Dragon Soul, Illidan succeeded first. The crazy Neltharion didn’t expect a thief to do this, so he was very relaxed about the defense of his lair. When Illidan stole the Dragon Soul and withdrew, Neltharion was still sleeping and dreaming.

However, Malfurion and the others discovered Illidan when he withdrew. When they realized that the item in Illidan’s hand was the Dragon Soul, Malfurion was excited.

He still had hope for Illidan. Even though his people thought that Illidan had betrayed them, Malfurion felt that Illidan was not such a person, so he stopped him and wanted to persuade him to hand over the Dragon Soul to them.

But what he received in return was a disdainful snort from Illidan, who was blindfolded.

Illidan had his own plan. Ever since he saw the despairing power of the Burning Legion, he realized that he had to either not do it or ensure that he wouldn’t fail. Otherwise, the wrath of the Burning Legion would devour all of Azeroth.

Illidan knew very well that if he handed the Dragon Soul to Malfurion, it would at most be hidden and allow the dragon army to participate in the war without restriction. But with just this, it would be very difficult to defeat the Burning Legion, so Illidan felt that his plan was more reliable.

Thus, Illidan left, ignoring Malfurion’s shouts. After meeting Mannoroth, who came to support him, Illidan readily handed the stolen Dragon Soul to him.

Malfurion and the others saw this scene from a distance. While his heart ached, he was helpless. He could only turn around and leave with Krasus and the others to avoid encountering demons.
