"If we had come a step later, you might never wake up!"

Akalitha was anxious and angry.

"What on earth happened? How did it become like this?!"

Stellagosa seemed to have not yet fully recovered from the severe mental shock and the aftermath of the magic backflow. Her slender fingers pressed hard on her temples, her beautiful face was full of confusion, and her blue eyes had lost their usual agility, just looking at Alvin blankly.

Alvin carefully helped Azuregos up.

This ancient blue dragon lord was indeed knowledgeable and had strong vitality. Although he was still weak, his consciousness had quickly returned.

He was breathing heavily, his wrinkled forehead was covered in sweat, and his eyes, which had experienced countless hardships, showed a rare look of fear.

“It’s… so scary…”

Azuregos' voice was a little hoarse, and trembling with lingering fear.

"I... I've lived for so many years, dealing with the Demonic Weave my entire life, but I've never seen it become so violent, so chaotic, and so full of malice! It's like the once docile ocean suddenly turned into a whirlpool of hell that devours everything!"

He caught his breath a little, then immediately turned to look at Stellagosa, who was still in pain, and scolded her, "Little Star! You are so reckless! How could you rush into my spellcasting range without knowing anything?! I know you want to help me, but this kind of deep magic network connection, if it goes wrong, it will be devastating! It doesn't matter if my old bones are eaten away, I've lived enough anyway! But if anything happens to you, what will happen to the future of the Blue Dragonflight? What will happen to your grandfather, Senegos?! Our clan can no longer afford to lose another person with such potential!"

After hearing Azuregos's reproach, Stellagosa seemed to have come to her senses.

She shook her head, trying to focus her vision, and retorted weakly but stubbornly, "I saw your condition deteriorate rapidly and your energy began to spiral out of control. How could I just stand there and do nothing? Even if it was dangerous, I had to try to do something!"

Seeing that the two men were in a slightly more stable state, Alvin quickly interrupted and asked, "Could you two explain to me what just happened? What exactly did you encounter in the magic net?"

Azuregos then turned his gaze completely to Alvin and Akalissa, his old face tightening.

"How did you two find your way here? Human, I don't care how close your relationship with the Red Dragonflight is. This is my private territory, Azuregos. It's the magical sanctuary of the Blue Dragon. Outsiders are not welcome to enter!"

Before Alvin could answer, Akali Tasha next to him became unhappy.

The little red dragon put his hands on his hips and retorted angrily, "Hey! Old man! How can you be so ungrateful and rude?! If it weren't for my brother Alvin and I being worried about you and going through so much trouble to break through your broken storm barrier to save you, you two would have lost control of your energy, exploded, and your souls would have gone straight to meet Galakrond, you know?! You didn't even say thank you!"

Alvin patted Akalitrasza's shoulder gently, signaling her to calm down. He then explained to Azuregos, "Lord Azuregos, please don't misunderstand. We didn't mean to trespass. It's just that a long time has passed since the agreed time, and there's been no news from you. I was worried that something might have gone wrong with the ceremony, so I rushed over to check. Fortunately, we arrived in time. I'm glad you're all right."

Azuregos looked at Akalitrassa, who looked dissatisfied, and then looked at Alvin, who was sincere, and seemed to realize that his tone just now was not very good.

He sighed, his troll form's shoulders slumping slightly as he began to explain the thrilling encounter. "Alas, I lost my composure. You saved us, that's a fact."

He rubbed his forehead which was still aching.

"As I had planned, I initiated the deepest Ley Connection Ritual, attempting to directly contact the Nexus and speak with Malygos. Initially, everything went smoothly, and my consciousness successfully reached Northrend along the Ley Line. However, just as my consciousness attempted to contact the Nexus' core, something strange happened!"

Fear crossed his face once again. "I sense an extremely cold, foul, and destructive external force, entwined and corroding the magical net surrounding the Nexus like a poisonous vine! This force is extremely powerful and evil. It's not the natural fluctuations of the magical net, but rather a deliberate destruction and pollution! My connection was instantly disrupted and captured by this force. It seemed to have life, corroding back along my connection channel, attempting to devour my consciousness as well!"

"The Demonic Net itself seemed to be resisting this force, becoming extremely unstable. The conflict between the two forces transformed the Demonic Net channel into the most terrifying energy storm zone! My consciousness was like a small boat in a storm, instantly swept in, unable to escape! Even more terrifying, because the connection was not broken, that terrifying energy began to flow back into my body crazily! I don't know what happened after that."

The big guy finished speaking with lingering fear, but then seemed to remember something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Alvin in confusion. "But in this situation, it stands to reason that consciousness is being devoured and energy is flowing back, which is almost a desperate situation that is almost certain to die! How did you do it? How did you save us? What did you do?"

Alvin smiled and kept it a secret for the time being: "Well, I used a little trick. I'll tell you the details later. What's more important now is..."

His expression turned serious.

"Lord Azuregos, tell me first, have you successfully contacted Malygos? What is the situation on his end?"

As soon as Malygos was mentioned, Azuregos immediately became excited again. He slapped his thighs with his two huge hands, and his beard stood up with anger.

"We've made contact! Of course we've made contact! But that old madman Malygos is extremely weak now! He told me that he can barely maintain the stability of the Weave on his own, let alone repair it! The force corroding the Weave is too strong!"

Alvin was very surprised. "Why? Wasn't the Blue Dragonflight entrusted by the Titans with the mission of protecting and organizing the magical web? The magical web has become so chaotic and dangerous. Could it be that the external force you just mentioned has destroyed it?"

Stellagosa, standing beside him, had recovered considerably. She nodded and continued, her voice still a little weak. "Yes, Lord Malygos has told us intermittently that the source of the problem lies deep within the frozen earth of Northrend, in an ancient, long-forgotten subterranean kingdom. Something is awakening, and it's systematically destroying the local ley lines."

Azuregos added through gritted teeth, his tone filled with disgust: "Yes! That damned, shady ancient spider kingdom—Azjol-Nerub! Long ago, when I was traveling in the north, I once saw the exit of their cave from afar. Out crawled those ugly spider monsters with compound eyes and multi-segmented limbs and their beetle minions! Insidious and disgusting creatures! I didn't expect them to be silent for so long and actually make such a big fuss down there!"
