Chapter 582: The Naaru’s 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 creature’s 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.

That’s right. This was a naaru. Roy had brought back the naaru from Shattrath City!

The name of this naaru was A’dal. It was with A’dal’s help that the draenei of Shattrath City had rebuilt the city ruins, but Roy had brought A’dal back now, and it had come willingly…

To be honest, Roy didn’t 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 A’dal under Velen’s lead, he realized that it was true. When he tried to capture A’dal, it didn’t resist at all.

This situation really confused Roy. So after thinking about it, he didn’t touch the draenei for the time being but first brought A’dal back to the Burning Legion’s garrison.

He planned to communicate with A’dal 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 wasn’t harsh on the ears at all..

The Holy Light that filled the naaru undoubtedly drew the hatred of demons.

When Roy placed A’dal in the temple, the demons in the Legion’s 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, “Darling, why did you bring back such an annoying thing? What is it? An angel? It doesn’t seem like it…’

“It’s a long story. If you feel uncomfortable, then leave first. I have some questions for this guy!” Roy replied.

“Okay, do as you please.” Julia and Benia nodded and left the Dark Temple with Fat Tiger.

When only Roy and A’dal were the only ones left in the temple, Roy walked around A’dal and observed its appearance while saying, “Okay, there’s no one else now. Tell me. You are a being of Holy Light, so it’s impossible for you not to know what the outcome will be if you fall into the hands of the Burning Legion.”

“King of Despair Osiris… it seems that you’re indeed not afraid of the power of the Holy Light!” A’dal had no vocal organs, and its voice came in the form of a soul echo. Moreover, it sounded like a female’s voice, crisp and lingering.

She said, “Ever 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 Legion…”

“Oh? What’s the difference?” Roy asked with interest.

“Your will is free!” A’dal said. “Your behavior isn’t based on Sargeras’s will. The Burning Legion’s ideology of destroying worlds can’t 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 thoughts…”

‘ Roy didn’t say anything because he had to admit that what A’dal 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 Sargeras’s Burning Legion, not his!

But Roy didn’t expect the naaru to notice this. These naaru were quite keen.

“So? Is this why you didn’t hesitate to take the risk to come into contact with me?” Roy asked in amusement. “Are you planning to instigate me to defect and get me to accept the power of the Holy Light?”

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?

“That’s not the case. The Holv Light has never summoned vou…” A’dal denied. “We have never thought of instigating a commander of the Burning Legion. The reason why I appeared in front of you is for another matter…”

“Oh? What is it that you’re willing to pay such a price for?” Roy was curious.

“These are the words of the great Light Mother, Xe’ra. She has prophesied certain prophecies and told all the naaru…” A’dal said. ‘”If you encounter a demon king from the Abyss, please stay by his side, even if you have to sacrifice your life for it…”‘

A’dal used her ethereal voice to narrate the words of the Light Mother. Then she looked at Roy quietly. Roy didn’t say a word. In the entire Black Temple, only A’dal’s humming voice echoed.

“Hahahaha!” A moment later, Roy suddenly changed his solemn expression and burst into laughter. He held his stomach and laughed widely. “I see. Are you naaru idiots?! Does Xe’ra think that I can help you end the Burning Legion?! I, a demon king from the Abyss, help you end a demon army?! There’s no more interesting idea than this!”

A’dal didn’t 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 A’dal’s head, picked her up, and looked down at her. “It seems that the naaru, which represents the Holy Light, will also lie.”

Roy didn’t believe in any prophecy at all. Xe’ra 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 Xe’ra. But Roy didn’t believe what A’dal said at all.

Regarding ending the Burning Legion, Roy naturally elicited it from what A’dal said because he knew that Xe’ra 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 ‘salvation of the Holy Light’… From this point of view, it was true that Xe’ra was dedicated to ending the Burning Legion, so Roy thought in this direction.

While laughing wildly just now, Roy gradually understood. The words of Xe’ra conveyed by A’dal were unclear. She only said that the naaru who met Roy should stay by his side at all costs, but she didn’t say what she wanted them to do by staying by his side.

Roy’s intuition told him that A’dal was lying, or rather, she was hiding her true intentions.

Facing Roy’s question, A’dal didn’t answer directly but instead said, “Although I can’t understand the will of the Holy Light, we will not hesitate to do anything for the Holy Light!”

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 Roy’s body through his arm. A’dal shouted, “King of Despair Osiris, listen to the summons of the Holy Light!”

“You actually want to corrode me with Holy Light?!” Roy grinned sinisterly.

“Try it!”

While Roy spoke, his counterattack began. Vast and boundless Chaos power emerged from his body and began to fight against A’dal’s Holy Light power.

Roy wasn’t 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. A’dal’s domineering act of pouring Holy Light power into him would definitely cause an imbalance if he didn’t stop it, so he didn’t want to accept A’dal’s ‘kind intentions’ at all!

As soon as the Chaos power emerged, it immediately crazily devoured and eliminated the Holy Light in A’dal’s body. In turn, it began to corrode A’dal. She resisted, and bright light filled the entire Black Temple.

In just ten minutes, A’dal 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 Roy’s Chaos power continuously devoured it. As time passed, the Holy Light on A’dal’s body began to gradually dim…

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, A’dal 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 didn’t expect was that just as she was about to call a stop, Roy actually stopped corroding her with Chaos power.

A’dal’s 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.

“Make a cage and imprison her!” Roy waved his hand and ordered the surrounding demons. “Guard her. Don’t let her escape!”

“Yes, Lord Osiris!” The demons swarmed forward with sinister grins and brought A’dal’s body away, intending to imprison her in the dungeon.

After the demons escorted A’dal away, Julia and Benia gathered around Roy and asked in concern, “Darling, are you all right? Why was there suddenly a conflict?”

Roy didn’t say anything. Instead, after pondering for a while, he suddenly laughed.

“I understand. I understand what these naaru want to do…” Roy smirked. “As expected, those of the Holy Light like to play dirty.. ”

“What’s going on?” 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.

“These naaru have designs on Auriel!” Roy turned around and whispered to

Julia and Benia.. “They seem to want to save Auriel or… a certain Archangel!”
