Tyr's Fall, a desolate human town, was occupied by a spider army.
The spider army advancing eastward was thwarted in Grizzly Hills, but they could not abandon the strategic objectives set by Yogg-Saron.
Therefore, a Faceless One was sent to bypass the battlefield and head straight for Tyr's Fall to resurrect Zakajz.
They temporarily converted the human town, transforming houses into spider nests.
Excavating Zakajz's corpse required a large amount of labor, and the number of spiders brought by the Faceless One was severely insufficient.
With the Faceless One providing energy, spider eggs were rapidly catalyzed to maturity, and groups of spiders joined the excavation work.
The passage beneath Tyr's Tomb had been damaged, and after moving aside the stones blocking it, they were met with a path of Holy Light.
The spiders were restless, not only because the light below was too strong, but also because they felt that the Holy Light had a suppressive effect on the Shadow energy within them.
"Advance, you useless creatures, move faster!"
The Faceless One issued a cold command; it did not care about the spiders' lives.
For Yogg-Saron's great cause, it did not matter if all the spiders died.
The spiders could not disobey the Faceless One's command and could only charge into the path of Holy Light, one after another.
The Holy Light, like flames, burned the evil spiders to death.
But with the sacrifice of a large number of spiders, the Holy Light gradually dissipated.
After consuming tens of thousands of spiders' lives, the spiders finally arrived beneath the tomb and saw a giant corpse, dyed golden by the Holy Light.
"Zakajz—"
The Faceless One exclaimed in surprise, could such a Zakajz still be resurrected?
"Kill—"
Shouts of battle echoed from outside the cave, and a cold wind swept in, freezing the spiders into ice sculptures.
Finally, a team of people entered, led by Gale.
After the battle of Darkshore ended, Gale led the allied forces back to Morning Light Tower.
The three armies returned to their respective garrisons; Malorne and Cenarius went to Grizzly Hills to support the two Ursol brothers, while Gale led a team and teleported to Dalaran.
Since he had guessed that Yogg-Saron might resurrect Zakajz, Gale naturally came to see, and he happened to witness the Faceless One directing the spider army into the underground tomb.
To solve the problem once and for all, Gale had Metri lead the Mages to clear the spiders in the town and destroy all spider eggs.
He personally led the team into the underground tomb, mobilizing Shimruk's frost divine power, and the power of his Frost Breath was almost as strong as Nash's Fang.
The spider army was trapped inside, a very unfavorable situation.
The Faceless One directly led its team to charge at Gale, trying to break through.
How could Gale give it this opportunity?
The devourer of gods was raised, and Gale condensed Sun Power.
The Holy Light energy throughout the underground tomb suddenly flickered, surging towards Gale.
Gale was very surprised, then overjoyed.
He allowed the Holy Light to enter his body, directing it to fill the previously abandoned acupoints.
In an instant, Gale seemed to transform into a golden elf.
Gale mobilized the Holy Light and found that he could control it as if it were his own arm.
The Holy Light surged into the devourer of gods, immediately enhancing the Sun Power.
The Sun Power shot towards the Faceless One, directly piercing its chest and igniting raging flames around the wound.
Soon, the Faceless One turned to ashes.
Gale gently waved his hand, and the flames spread in all directions.
Wherever they passed, the spiders were all ignited.
Navoli and the others looked at each other; they thought it would have been better to stay above, where they might have killed a few spiders.
They felt increasingly useless; at first, they could serve as guards, but now, they could only follow behind Gale and enjoy the benefits without even a chance to act.
The few of them exchanged glances, all secretly resolving to improve their strength.
If this continued, they would not have the face to follow behind Gale anymore.
Having dealt with the enemies, Gale silently closed his eyes, feeling the power of the Holy Light.
Soon, he felt a familiar sensation within the Holy Light—it was the Holy Light seed he had given Solidan back then.
No wonder he could use these Holy Lights so easily; the reason was here.
Every cause has its effect.
The Holy Light occupied thirty-six secondary "acupoints" in his body; its energy was slightly less than Arcane, but its energy level still reached Archmage level.
It was just that he knew few Holy Light spells; otherwise, calling him a Holy Light Archmage would be no problem.
Thinking of the Holy Light spells he knew, Gale looked at the devourer of gods.
He closed his eyes, gathered all his Holy Light, and used Dispel Curse on it.
"No—"
Shimruk let out a mournful cry, and along with the cry, a puff of black smoke emerged from the devourer of gods.
Dubrakan cried out joyfully, "Shimruk, you liar, you have this day too, hahahaha—"
The curse was lifted, and Gale was in a good mood.
He opened Dubrakan's page and cast a spell to release him.
Dubrakan checked his status and looked at Gale unhappily, "Dark Troll, don't think that just because you've allowed me temporary freedom, I will forgive you."
Gale smiled, "First, I don't expect you to forgive me.
It's true that I had malicious intentions when I killed you, so I'm giving you the greatest courtesy.
Second, you can call me Kaldorei, or you can call me an elf; don't call me a Dark Troll.
The true Dark Trolls still live near Mount Hyjal; we are not the same species at all."
Dubrakan glared at him, "No matter how much you deny it, it still doesn't change your origins."
"Think what you want."
Gale was too lazy to correct his thoughts.
According to his research, Kaldorei and Trolls were completely two different species.
Trolls possessed super strong regenerative abilities; if Kaldorei truly evolved from Dark Trolls, they would certainly inherit regenerative abilities.
The Well of Eternity could change a creature's skin color, habits, and even talents, but it could only increase talents, not strip away existing ones.
Moreover, Kaldorei had very long lifespans, so how could they not know their true origins?
The reason for this misunderstanding was actually that the Kaldorei's attitude towards Trolls was too friendly, which led to the Trolls' misunderstanding.
And the reason why Kaldorei were friendly to other Trolls also came from the Dark Trolls.
Initially, when the Dark Trolls migrated to the vicinity of Mount Hyjal to escape war, they were very friendly to the Kaldorei, and the two sides often exchanged goods.
Later, when the Kaldorei encountered other Trolls, they also assumed these Trolls were as friendly as the Dark Trolls, and their attitude was the same as how they treated the Dark Trolls.
All these factors created the current misunderstanding.
Gale waved his hand, called out to the still-surprised Navoli and the others, and walked out of the tomb.
Zakajz had been completely purified by Solidan, and Solidan's body had also dissipated beneath the tomb in the Holy Light explosion.
To prevent his old friend from being disturbed, Gale resealed the tomb and used Holy Light to seal it.
