"Snap!" A crisp snap of fingers.
A gesture from this little human who had previously been ignored by Loken caused a huge change in the situation.
In the sky surrounded by the circular arcade, in the gaps between the giant pillars, and on the temple floor covered with hexagonal patterns, layers of ochre-colored light appeared.
These lights seemed to have life. As soon as they appeared, they went straight towards Locke.
All guardians have a passive talent titan's Blessing.
This is a blessing that isolates the elements and physical attacks from the real world from the perspective of laws. This blessing is equivalent to simply increasing resistance by a large amount, and it can only be described as abnormal without exception.
A mere khaki earth element attack on Loken was of no use at all, but what appeared at this moment was a fierce attack that almost condensed the power of half of the Northrend earth element. It was hard to imagine that such a high-purity earth element was released by a little human like Duke.
For a moment, Locke saw an illusion - the earth suddenly rolled and surged, and countless sands formed huge waves of sand that connected the sky and the ground.
This raging earth element directly submerged Loken's not-so-small body, leaving only a scream.
"Impossible..." The one who uttered the almost whispering voice was Thorim who had escaped death.
The surging waves of earth element smashed Locke's entire body out of the Temple of Wisdom in just a few steps. Unfortunately, as Locke waved his arm, a blazing red flame suddenly burst out from the Temple of Wisdom, offsetting most of the khaki light.
"You... who are you!?" Locke's face, which had been confident all along, finally showed an expression of horror.
Duke's body fell backwards, and a huge existence seemed to "grow" out from under his feet, holding up Duke's entire body.
Locke immediately noticed that Duke was being held up by a giant hand wrapped in flames.
What made his face change even more drastically was that there was a being that was frantically tearing apart the spatial protection barrier of the Temple of Wisdom and forcibly stuffing in power that did not belong to the entire temple.
"In the name of the King of Wisdom - I deny your entry!" Locke slammed his fist on the ground.
Who would have thought that the smiling human just now disappeared, replaced by a male human wearing a white wizard robe with blue edges, holding a chicken leg staff in his left hand and a strange long sword in the shape of a tall spiral spike in his right hand.
The two people before and after have similar but different appearances.
This time, the being with human appearance exuded an almost overwhelming and terrifying divine power.
The person who came was naturally Duke himself!
"In the name of the Guardian of Azeroth - I veto your veto!" Duke leaned on his staff, and the space-breaking power of the artifact Atiesh suddenly burst out.
Three imaginary black crows made sharp "quack quack" sounds.
These cries were not only unpleasant to the ear, but also more devastating to Locke than the death knell. Because when the crows' cries spread, the space barriers he had set up in the Temple of Wisdom began to break down one by one.
As the force restraining the outsider's intrusion weakened, the flaming arm supporting Duke began to stretch longer and longer. It was obvious that the owner of the flaming arm was crawling out of the portal that opened in the floor of the temple.
"No!" Locke raised his ten thick fingers and used gestures to coordinate his spellcasting, attempting to repair the temple's space barrier again.
Just at this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking under the temple.
"Boom-boom-boom--" The deep and rhythmic bombardment seemed to be shaking the foundation of the temple.
"Impossible, unless it is..." Locke finally screamed.
Duke had a mysterious smile on his face: "Yes, that's the 'unless' you mentioned."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this time, there was no need to specially investigate or sense. Anyone who was not blind could see that on the mountain wall below the temple, a giant of the same size as Loken was climbing up the steep mountain wall.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no place on the mountain wall for a giant to set foot on.
The newcomer obviously had a more brilliant idea. Every move he made would summon the earth element in the mountain wall. The earth responded to his call and arched out handrails or stepping stones for the giant to stand on or use as leverage.
Although the giant seemed to move very slowly, the handrails and stepping stones on the mountain wall moved upwards by themselves, as if giving the giant an elevator.
No!
This should be some kind of special skill similar to Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, right?
Loken's golden face turned pale. As a senior among the Guardians of Azeroth, he certainly knew who the visitor was. He finally squeezed out a name from between his teeth: "Arkavon!"
A freezing cold wind was howling around the temple.
In the huge suspended corridor connecting the Temple of Wisdom and the Rock Hall, countless ice and snow are gathering, and a giant who is ten stories tall is forming out of thin air with a body that belongs only to him.
Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky.
A lightning giant suddenly appeared and began to slowly descend to the temple...
"No! Impossible! Who are you? Why can you command the four guardians of Archavon?" Loken was shocked and angry, staring at the smiling Duke.
At this moment, Duke was sitting on the shoulders of the fire giant that was rising from the portal in the temple floor.
That's right, the ones who came were the four guardians of the treasury—Arkavon, Amaron, Coralon, and Turawan.
Duke put away "Song of Light and Shadow", raised his right index finger, and shook it proudly.
"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! I only told the four watchers that Loken, the guardian of Ulduar, had been corrupted by Yogg-Saron. He violated the duties entrusted to him by the titans and began to murder his companions... Then, I shared what I saw with them..."
At this point, the greatest secret of Archavon's treasure house was finally revealed.
The four guardians are not guarding any equipment at all, but elements!
As one of the four major elements that make up the world, it plays an irreplaceable and important role.
The status of the four guardians is below that of the guardian of Ulduar and the five-color guardian dragons. The four of them play a supporting role. They will provide enough elements for the guardian to support a series of operations such as Ulduar and the Wyrmrest Temple.
But on the other hand, the four guardians of the treasury also have similar duties to those of the guardians.
If the laboratory left by the titans collapses, or if the ancient gods guarding it are in danger of breaking free, the four guardians are also responsible for eliminating the danger.
Now that it has been proven that Loken has betrayed the titans, it is understandable that the four watchers would step out to do the work.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the four of them would never know what happened in Ulduar. After all, Loken had always been very secretive and beautiful.
But Duke tipped off!
