Chapter 582: The Naaruâs Greed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Not long after, Roy returned to the Black Temple. Unlike when he left earlier, there was a strange creature with him when he returned.
Several parts of this strange creatureâs body were formed by geometric shapes. But these geometric shapes were barely distinguishable as the torso, legs, and face. On both sides of its torso, there was a pair of wings-like geometric structures, and the pattern on the head was more complicated.
It looked like something⊠a crown.
Thatâs right. This was a naaru. Roy had brought back the naaru from Shattrath City!
The name of this naaru was Aâdal. It was with Aâdalâs help that the draenei of Shattrath City had rebuilt the city ruins, but Roy had brought Aâdal back now, and it had come willinglyâŠ
To be honest, Roy didnât believe what Velen had said at first. He knew that the naaru and the Burning Legion were archenemies, so how could a naaru willingly follow him, a demon of the Burning Legion? But when he saw Aâdal under Velenâs lead, he realized that it was true. When he tried to capture Aâdal, it didnât resist at all.
This situation really confused Roy. So after thinking about it, he didnât touch the draenei for the time being but first brought Aâdal back to the Burning Legionâs garrison.
He planned to communicate with Aâdal and see what this naaru was up to.
The naaru were strange. The various components of their bodies were full of warm light, and powerful Holy Light power permeated throughout their bodies and radiated wantonly. Accompanied by a pleasant and ethereal sound, when its voice rang out slightly, it echoed throughout the hall of the Dark Temple. It was like a buzz, but it wasnât harsh on the ears at all..
The Holy Light that filled the naaru undoubtedly drew the hatred of demons.
When Roy placed Aâdal in the temple, the demons in the Legionâs garrison were all restless. They wanted to rush into the temple to eliminate this hateful Holy Light, but Roy stopped them. In the end, the demons could only leave the temple unwillingly and fearfully.
Standing beside Roy, Julia and Benia also felt that the Holy Light made them very uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were powerful and could resist the radiation of the Holy Light, so they were not agitated. Even so, they subconsciously retreated a distance and frowned as they asked Roy, âDarling, why did you bring back such an annoying thing? What is it? An angel? It doesnât seem like itâŠâ
âItâs a long story. If you feel uncomfortable, then leave first. I have some questions for this guy!â Roy replied.
âOkay, do as you please.â Julia and Benia nodded and left the Dark Temple with Fat Tiger.
When only Roy and Aâdal were the only ones left in the temple, Roy walked around Aâdal and observed its appearance while saying, âOkay, thereâs no one else now. Tell me. You are a being of Holy Light, so itâs impossible for you not to know what the outcome will be if you fall into the hands of the Burning Legion.â
âKing of Despair Osiris⊠it seems that youâre indeed not afraid of the power of the Holy Light!â Aâdal had no vocal organs, and its voice came in the form of a soul echo. Moreover, it sounded like a femaleâs voice, crisp and lingering.
She said, âEver since the draenei escaped from Argus and came into contact with you, we have understood one thing. You are different from the other demons of the Burning LegionâŠâ
âOh? Whatâs the difference?â Roy asked with interest.
âYour will is free!â Aâdal said. âYour behavior isnât based on Sargerasâs will. The Burning Legionâs ideology of destroying worlds canât influence your decisions⊠Even though you are one of the commanders of the Burning Legion, you are still acting according to your own will and thoughtsâŠâ
â Roy didnât say anything because he had to admit that what Aâdal said was true.
The reason why he joined the Burning Legion was firstly because of his demon identity, so it was impossible for him to go to other factions. Secondly, he and Sargeras were cooperating because of some future interests. To Roy, the Burning Legion was Sargerasâs Burning Legion, not his!
But Roy didnât expect the naaru to notice this. These naaru were quite keen.
âSo? Is this why you didnât hesitate to take the risk to come into contact with me?â Roy asked in amusement. âAre you planning to instigate me to defect and get me to accept the power of the Holy Light?â
Roy knew that the naaru possessed powerful Holy Light power. This Holy Light power could even be poured into other beings, making them also become Holy Light existences. For example, the so-called Lightforged draenei⊠Could this Holy Light forging also be effective on demons?
âThatâs not the case. The Holv Light has never summoned vouâŠâ Aâdal denied. âWe have never thought of instigating a commander of the Burning Legion. The reason why I appeared in front of you is for another matterâŠâ
âOh? What is it that youâre willing to pay such a price for?â Roy was curious.
âThese are the words of the great Light Mother, Xeâra. She has prophesied certain prophecies and told all the naaruâŠâ Aâdal said. ââIf you encounter a demon king from the Abyss, please stay by his side, even if you have to sacrifice your life for itâŠââ
Aâdal used her ethereal voice to narrate the words of the Light Mother. Then she looked at Roy quietly. Roy didnât say a word. In the entire Black Temple, only Aâdalâs humming voice echoed.
âHahahaha!â A moment later, Roy suddenly changed his solemn expression and burst into laughter. He held his stomach and laughed widely. âI see. Are you naaru idiots?! Does Xeâra think that I can help you end the Burning Legion?! I, a demon king from the Abyss, help you end a demon army?! Thereâs no more interesting idea than this!â
Aâdal didnât answer and quietly looked at Roy laughing wildly.
After laughing for a while, Roy suddenly stretched out his hand, pressed it on the crown on Aâdalâs head, picked her up, and looked down at her. âIt seems that the naaru, which represents the Holy Light, will also lie.â
Roy didnât believe in any prophecy at all. Xeâra could see certain scenes of the future like the prophet Velen. Roy believed this. After all, as long as one was powerful enough, they could see the future even without the power to control time. It was the same for Mephisto, let alone Xeâra. But Roy didnât believe what Aâdal said at all.
Regarding ending the Burning Legion, Roy naturally elicited it from what Aâdal said because he knew that Xeâra was still searching for the Child of Light and Shadow in her prophecy, the future Illidan. She believed that Illidan could end the Burning Legion. In order to fulfill her prophecy, she even changed the gentle side of the Holy Light and wanted to forcefully give Illidan the âsalvation of the Holy Lightâ⊠From this point of view, it was true that Xeâra was dedicated to ending the Burning Legion, so Roy thought in this direction.
While laughing wildly just now, Roy gradually understood. The words of Xeâra conveyed by Aâdal were unclear. She only said that the naaru who met Roy should stay by his side at all costs, but she didnât say what she wanted them to do by staying by his side.
Royâs intuition told him that Aâdal was lying, or rather, she was hiding her true intentions.
Facing Royâs question, Aâdal didnât answer directly but instead said, âAlthough I canât understand the will of the Holy Light, we will not hesitate to do anything for the Holy Light!â
As soon as she finished speaking, intense Holy Light energy suddenly erupted from her body. Not only did this Holy Light energy fill the entire Black Temple in the blink of an eye, but it even surged into Royâs body through his arm. Aâdal shouted, âKing of Despair Osiris, listen to the summons of the Holy Light!â
âYou actually want to corrode me with Holy Light?!â Roy grinned sinisterly.
âTry it!â
While Roy spoke, his counterattack began. Vast and boundless Chaos power emerged from his body and began to fight against Aâdalâs Holy Light power.
Roy wasnât afraid of Holy Light. In fact, as a Chaos Demon, he had quite powerful Holy Light power in his body. But this Holy Light power was in a state of balance with other powers and jointly constructed his Chaos body. Aâdalâs domineering act of pouring Holy Light power into him would definitely cause an imbalance if he didnât stop it, so he didnât want to accept Aâdalâs âkind intentionsâ at all!
As soon as the Chaos power emerged, it immediately crazily devoured and eliminated the Holy Light in Aâdalâs body. In turn, it began to corrode Aâdal. She resisted, and bright light filled the entire Black Temple.
In just ten minutes, Aâdal burst out with incalculable amounts of Holy Light. But this immense Holy Light energy that was enough to destroy several cities was like a stone sinking into the sea as Royâs Chaos power continuously devoured it. As time passed, the Holy Light on Aâdalâs body began to gradually dimâŠ
The naaru were energy creatures. Although what they usually displayed was the Holy Light energy side, in fact, when their Holy Light was exhausted, the dark energy side would start to emerge.
During the process of fighting against Roy, Aâdal became more and more shocked. She found that her strength was still far from that of a demon king like Roy. The Holy Light power in her body gradually began to dry up during the confrontation. In order not to turn into a dark naaru, she could only quickly stop and use her remaining Holy Light power to protect herself.
However, what she didnât expect was that just as she was about to call a stop, Roy actually stopped corroding her with Chaos power.
Aâdalâs body could no longer float in the air and fell, and the geometric shapes that formed her body scattered across the floor. With the end of the confrontation, Julia and Benia rushed into the Black Temple with a large number of demon guards.
âMake a cage and imprison her!â Roy waved his hand and ordered the surrounding demons. âGuard her. Donât let her escape!â
âYes, Lord Osiris!â The demons swarmed forward with sinister grins and brought Aâdalâs body away, intending to imprison her in the dungeon.
After the demons escorted Aâdal away, Julia and Benia gathered around Roy and asked in concern, âDarling, are you all right? Why was there suddenly a conflict?â
Roy didnât say anything. Instead, after pondering for a while, he suddenly laughed.
âI understand. I understand what these naaru want to doâŠâ Roy smirked. âAs expected, those of the Holy Light like to play dirty.. â
âWhatâs going on?â Julia and Benia were confused.
Roy turned to look at the Angel of Despair lying on his right shoulder. Auriel was still leaning sideways without any movement. But when Roy looked at her, she looked back at him in a daze.
âThese naaru have designs on Auriel!â Roy turned around and whispered to
Julia and Benia.. âThey seem to want to save Auriel or⊠a certain Archangel!â
