Mirror World

Antonidas's face was as pale as paper, and his spirit was extremely weak. Seeing Aiden arrive, he forced a smile and said wearily, "You've come, Aiden."

The Archmage noticed Aiden staring at his left arm, which was wrapped in white bandages. Only half of his forearm remained. He smiled wryly and said, "I was hit by fel energy in the maze."

They were all well aware of the characteristics of fel energy. This evil power, wielded by the demons of the Burning Legion, would constantly pollute and erode the bodies of non-demonic creatures. If timely treatment was not received, early amputation of the injured area was the only solution.

Although Antonidas spoke lightly, Aiden could imagine the danger he had faced. He quickly cast a healing spell on the other party, and Antonidas's complexion improved slightly. He waved his hand and said, "No need, the draenei have already used the Holy Light to heal me. All that's left is to rest."

"Inside… is it very dangerous?" Aiden couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." The Archmage nodded, emitting a muffled nasal sound.

He carefully recounted the events he encountered in Reverse Karazhan to Aiden. His experience could more or less help Aiden recognize some of the special dangers of that mirror maze.

Antonidas was one of the most powerful mages in Dalaran, and the number of mages in all of Azeroth who could match him were few and far between. For Reverse Karazhan to cause him such a great loss, it was naturally extraordinary.

Reverse Karazhan had only one entrance, but those who entered would be randomly teleported to unknown locations. This was similar to the large-scale fixed teleportation spell of "Darkmaster" Gandling when the Scholomance was destroyed a few years ago, but it was undoubtedly much more sophisticated.

Yesterday's first exploration resulted in heavy losses for the vanguard, but even with so much sacrifice, the Alliance still hadn't figured out the characteristics of that mirror world.

After the Archmage had finished explaining his encounters and speculations in detail, Aiden still felt that he should go and see for himself. He felt that this mirror Karazhan might contain extraordinary secrets.

"Please be careful!" Antonidas instructed, "The space in the mirror world is very unstable, and our exploration of it has only just begun. Our understanding of it is definitely not as good as the Burning Legion's."

A crisp bell sound came from his ear, it was the voice of "Wandering Caretaker" Bard. Antonidas shook his head and smiled again, "Perhaps I'm too worried. I hope you can achieve a swift victory!"

After Aiden said goodbye, he was preparing to enter the mirror world, but at this moment, a figure covered in blood suddenly appeared before him. This was a green-skinned orc female assassin, panting heavily, with wounds all over her body. But she couldn't care about those. As soon as she saw Aiden, she hurriedly shouted, "Aiden, Lord Aiden… Med'an and Medivh have both been captured inside!"

This was of course Garona. For more than twenty days, since she, Aegwynn, and Meryl were teleported to the depths of the Maelstrom, Aiden had not received any news about them.

Initially, after ending Deathwing, he was very worried that they had been captured by N'Zoth, but as time went by, the Old God didn't make any special moves. He could almost be certain that N'Zoth should not have succeeded.

It was just that he didn't expect things to be so tortuous.

"What's going on?" Aiden asked immediately.

Garona used the fastest speed of her life to recount the shocking changes in Deepholm and the tracking over the past twenty days. In fact, she entered the mirror world earlier than the Alliance forces, and her understanding of it was more profound than anyone else. And yesterday, she personally saw Medivh crashing into the mirror world and seeing the captured Med'an, and then, to her utter astonishment, she was teleported to an unknown place by Dargonax .

This mirror world would become an unstable spatial maze, and it was actually because of Dargonax , the last twilight dragon in existence!

"Are you saying that Dargonax controls all the changes here? This maze is actually constructed by its abilities?"

"Yes." Garona nodded without hesitation.

Aiden didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Gather a group of heroes, it's time to launch a counterattack!"

Garona knew exactly where Dargonax was, and she had to be a guide for everyone.

Needless to say, Med'an and Medivh were two unstable factors, even Malfurion and Cenarius were trapped. Only by ending the twilight dragon could these people be rescued!

Aiden's order was conveyed to everyone in the garrison, and the heroes came one after another.

Draenei Defender Maraad was the first to arrive. He originally just wanted to rescue Medivh—after all, he was his niece's husband—but after seeing Garona and learning from her that Med'an had also been captured, he had even more reason to join.

Then, Chieftain of the Warsong Clan, Grom Hellscream, arrived with his battle axe. This orc warrior, who was a little thinner than the average orc, had bloodshot eyes, almost as if he was breathing fire.

He also had a reason to join, not only to avenge the demons, but also to save his son—Garrosh Hellscream also entered the mirror world yesterday and did not come out.

Subsequently, several Ancient Guardians of Mount Hyjal, as well as the Demon Hunter Illidan, arrived. They could not accept the loss of Cenarius and Malfurion. Especially Malorne, as his son was among them. The usually gentle stag's eyes burned with fury. If there were any enemies here, they would surely be pierced by his antlers and then completely crushed by his hooves, only then could he vent a fraction of his anger!

Following that, the three archmages, Anna, Kael'thas, and Khadgar, arrived together. Before long, the area was filled with people.

Almost everyone wanted to enter, but Aiden didn't need that many people. The main goal this time was to kill Dargonax , rescue those trapped in the Mirror Labyrinth, and also investigate the secrets of the Mirror World. Quality over quantity.

Actually, he didn't mind having more people, but after entering the Mirror World, the group was likely to be randomly separated, and more people would only make it easier to scatter. He specifically brought Bard because this Celestial Wanderer's special abilities could basically guarantee that they wouldn't be separated.

Of course, too many people exceeding his current ability wouldn't work.

In the end, a dozen heroes successfully joined them.

Bard connected everyone together, and then they simultaneously stepped into the passage to the Mirror World.

—

The Mirror World was very peculiar, filled with all sorts of unbelievable and incomprehensible scenes and content. Yesterday, when Medivh led everyone into this world for the first time, they encountered great danger.

He was teleported alone to Dargonax 's presence!

This wouldn't have been a problem, with Medivh's own strength, plus the artifact he possessed, "Atiesh, the Guardian's Legendary Staff," even if he couldn't defeat this Twilight Dragon, it wouldn't be able to stop him from leaving.

But the opponent had a hostage in hand.

When Dargonax threatened him with Med'an to make him lay down his weapon, he had no choice but to do so.

Although he was seeing this grown-up son for the first time, the blood ties made him unable to ignore the other's safety.

Garona, who had been hiding in the shadows looking for an opportunity, was both moved and anxious when she saw him really lay down his weapon. After all, before this, Medivh had not fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities, and only recently learned that he had such a son. There was only a blood relationship between the two, and there was actually no emotional foundation.

He must have known the price of laying down his weapon, but he still did it.

Garona couldn't bear to watch him walk into a trap and couldn't help but remind him. This led to Dargonax finally discovering her, and the Twilight Dragon immediately launched an attack. Medivh, after a brief surprise, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

With his wife on one side and his son on the other, Medivh gritted his teeth, picked up the Guardian's Staff, resisted Dargonax 's attack, and forcibly cast a teleportation spell to teleport Garona away.

In the last moment before Garona was teleported away, she witnessed Medivh being hit by a spell—it wasn't the Twilight Dragon that injured him, but Med'an—this mixed-race child with a troubled fate was first controlled by Deathwing, then by the Old Gods, and after only a brief moment of clarity, he was controlled by the Burning Legion.

After accepting the power of the Dragon Soul, the powerful Med'an used this power to injure his own father.

Garona was very worried about the safety of this father and son. After being teleported away, she fought her way out of the Mirror World after a series of battles.

After bringing the news to Aiden, Garona ignored her fatigue and injuries, received some healing spells, and then led reinforcements back into this place.

The first scene they entered after teleportation was like a scorched hell. The ground was covered with cracks filled with lava, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and the ambient temperature was very high, making people feel like they were in a furnace.

Malorne cast a natural spell in the first instance, freeing everyone from the high temperature that was completely unsuitable for human survival.

"Be careful, there are demons!" Vayne walked in the front, she lowered her voice, and the eyes behind her sunglasses were shining coldly.

"Many scenes here have demons. We have to clear this scene before we can go to the next scene from the exit," Garona had been here once before, and she told everyone the rules here.

"Can you determine Dargonax 's location?" Aiden asked.

"Yes!" Garona gave a definite answer.

No one knew how this legendary assassin located the enemy, but as long as they could find the target, it was fine.

They didn't walk far before they entered a demon ambush—hundreds of demons, large and small, suddenly emerged from the ground, the sky, and the caves, launching an attack on them.

If these dozen or so people were just ordinary people, they would probably be torn to pieces and eaten by the demons in a moment, but unfortunately, they weren't.

Not only did Vayne, an expert in dealing with demons, scout everything clearly, but the others had also sensed the so-called "ambush" long ago. It's just that the quality of the smaller side far exceeded the quantity of the larger number of demons. Any one of these fifteen heroes and guardians could easily deal with these demon grunts, and when they joined forces, they instantly turned all the demons to ashes.
