Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

Chapter 504 Training

Yun Youyou woke up, with a bitter smile on his face. He still remembered that he had fought with all his strength countless times until he was exhausted, and then fainted on the ground. This kind of experience has not happened for a long time, but now he misses that time. However, this time the coma seemed to be very long, which made him feel a little strange, but fortunately, his mental state recovered well after waking up.

At this time, Yun remembered to observe the surrounding environment. Obviously, he was in a cave, which might be the lair of a powerful BOSS. The space inside the cave was relatively spacious, and not far behind him, there was a mysterious black energy door. Since he could not know the specific situation outside the door, Yun could only determine that the cave was relatively safe.

He knew in his heart that this place was a rest area specially prepared by Xaltas for him. Although Yun got a moment of respite and recovery here, he did not intend to express gratitude to Xaltas. After all, he had never agreed to any conditions, and Xaltas took the initiative to create such a resting place for him. Therefore, Yun enjoyed this unexpected gift with peace of mind, without saying anything more.

Yun didn't know if there was any mechanism in this black energy door. If it was opened accidentally, it would be a big trouble. So he decided to stay away from it. He found a relatively safe place and lit a bonfire. This bonfire not only brought warmth to Yun, but also made him feel very comfortable. He took out some food and cooked a pot of hot soup. This was the first time he had eaten hot food in a long time. This simple enjoyment made him feel relaxed. Although he was still a little worried, he was no longer as nervous as before.

As his body gradually warmed up, Yun felt sleepy and soon fell asleep. When he woke up again, he felt as if he had been rejuvenated and in much better spirits. He moved his body and found that his wound seemed to have improved a little. He carefully cleaned and bandaged the wound, then rechecked the equipment he brought with him to make sure everything was in good condition. At this moment, Yun felt full of strength and confidence and could continue to move forward.

During this time, Xal'atath did not come to disturb Yun, which made him feel a little good about Xal'atath. He thought Xal'atath was a man who knew how to judge the situation and would not easily act impulsively. After all, they now had a common goal - to fight against N'Zoth. Since he had received a lot of help from Xal'atath, Yun also realized that he needed to do something. He was not grateful, but he still had to do something.

Yun walked to the black energy door, looking at the door in front of him, and couldn't help wondering: "How should I get out?" He recalled that when he first entered this space, he fell straight in. Maybe the way out is just as simple and crude! Thinking of this, Yun took a step without hesitation and walked straight into the black energy door.

The scene changed, and Yun found himself back at the waist of the pit. As soon as he stepped out of the energy gate, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned his head and saw a faceless man standing there quietly, his eyes fixed on him.

Before Yun could react, the Faceless Man suddenly raised his head and made a strange sound. Yun immediately realized that the Faceless Man was calling its companions. This was a good thing, as it saved him the trouble of looking for them everywhere.

Yun looked back at the black energy door behind him and found that it still existed, which meant that he could still return to that mysterious space again. However, he needed to confirm whether these dark creatures could enter it. After all, if they couldn't enter, then this space would become a safe haven for him. But if they could enter and exit at will, then this place might bring him more danger.

The battle started instantly, and this time the situation became a little tricky, because two powerful bosses from Ny'alotha appeared on the opposite side! Not only that, all the dark creatures seemed to have been strengthened and their strength increased a lot. Facing such a strong enemy, Yun felt unprecedented pressure. Every battle required him to go all out to barely cope. Although he was in the best condition, he still felt obviously exhausted. Was he getting weaker? Or were these dark creatures really getting stronger? For a while, this question lingered in Yun's mind.

Fortunately, however, after a hard fight, Yun successfully defeated the two waves of enemies. Although he put in a lot of effort and energy, the final victory still belonged to him. At the same time, he also confirmed an important information: the mysterious black energy door, they could not enter it at all. This discovery made Yun feel a little relieved. At least for now, as long as nothing unexpected happened, they would sooner or later be able to exhaust the opponent's power and win the final victory. Now, the only problem is time. How long will this long war of attrition last?

The battle was quite strenuous. Yun was very tired after fighting two more waves. His brand new armor was also damaged, and even his body was injured. Now that he had a shelter, Yun did not dare to be careless. After dealing with a wave of enemies, he quickly fled to the shelter.

After entering the shelter, Yun sat on the ground, gasping for breath, blood oozing from the wounds on his body. Yun was a little confused. It was obviously the same wave of monsters, why was it so hard for him to fight this time? And his mental strength seemed to have increased a lot. Could it be that after taking a rest, he couldn't stand this high-intensity battle anymore?

Originally, Yun didn't want to pay attention to Xal'atath, after all, he had always been wary of this mysterious existence. But at this moment, in this quiet shelter, Yun suddenly felt a little bored. So, he decided to take the initiative to communicate with Xal'atath, hoping to get some useful information or topics from her to relieve this feeling of boredom.

"Some dark energy has been gathered this time." Yun said, trying to break the silence.

"I'm at the bottom, and we're not there yet." The voice of Sartharion sounded in Yun's mind, his tone calm and indifferent.

Hearing Xal'atath's response, Yun felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Xal'atath would ignore him, otherwise he would be very bored again. At the same time, Xal'atath did not mention anything about the sanctuary, which was a good thing.

"Why do I feel like these dark creatures have become stronger?" Yun asked with a frown. He felt that the strength of these dark creatures seemed to have increased, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Sartharion nodded and said, "Yes, this is an important characteristic of dark creatures. Not only can they use dark energy to revive, they also have a certain resistance to the same type of attacks. At the same time, they can also use dark energy more skillfully and become stronger." There was a hint of seriousness in her tone.

Yun was shocked after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "So perverted! Why didn't I notice it before?" If we follow this logic, then the dark creatures are simply invincible. In contrast, the Titan creations can't compete with them at all. They have a huge number, the ability to revive infinitely, the characteristics of getting stronger with each fight, and high-end and top-level combat power. No matter from which angle, they should not lose this battle.

"Well, since each resurrection takes a long time, many times it takes more energy to revive a dark creature than to summon one from the void again. If this place could summon from the void, you would see more creatures, but their strength would not be enhanced."

"Hmm? Then why not choose to resurrect? In this way, wouldn't the dark creatures become more powerful and eventually invincible?" Yun asked doubtfully.

"Because in essence, dark creatures exist in the void and do not belong to any ancient god. The ancient gods only use their abilities to summon the void creatures and control them, and the ancient gods' control over them is only temporary. In addition, there are only so many of these dark creatures in essence. Although the number is extremely large, the total number should be certain. It is only through continuous resurrection that they appear endless. Therefore, as long as we continue to consume them and allow them to be resurrected in the void, the dark creatures will become extremely powerful."

"This doesn't seem right. You mentioned that reviving dark creatures requires a lot of energy. So who provides this energy?" Yun asked curiously.

"Of course it is the real master of these dark creatures. In fact, our energy comes from it. It continuously refines the dark energy through us. When the dark energy becomes pure enough and the dark creatures become extremely powerful, it will take action." said Sarthas.

This is the first time that Yun has heard of this “it”. Although there have always been speculations in the game about the source of the dark energy, and the bosses in each version have said in the end that they are integrating energy to deal with a bigger crisis, they have never said what the crisis is. Could the crisis be this “it”?

"Then can I summon dark creatures?" Yun asked tentatively. After all, so far, except for summoning demons, which is an ability given by the system, other summons require the help of other people's energy. If dark creatures have special effects, then cultivating one well would be a good choice.

"I'm not sure about that. You must have enough dark energy, and there are many restrictions. You can give it a try." Xal'atath answered without hesitation. Yun didn't expect Xal'atath to be so frank. She told him a string of disorganized spells. Without the help of the system, Yun barely remembered them with great effort. It seems that being a mage is not easy. It is a huge challenge to remember so many complex spells. They have to keep switching during the battle. It's really hard for them.

Yun was about to try it, but was interrupted by Xal'atath. "Don't try it here. It's sealed. We can't get in touch with the void, and we can't summon dark creatures. Try it after you get out." Xal'atath explained.

"Oh!" Yun agreed perfunctorily. Although what Salatas said was right, Yun always felt that something was wrong. But there was no need to think too much about it now. He should find a way to get out first.

After eating and drinking, I adjusted my equipment and walked out of the shelter again.

Another battle broke out, this time it was a little more difficult than the last time. The dark creatures had become significantly stronger. Yun could fight off several waves before, but now he could only fight them in waves. If he was not careful, he would get hurt very badly. Yun had to return to the shelter soon.

"Sarthas, this is not a solution. It's getting harder and harder to fight." Yun complained.

"Well, that's the situation here. Otherwise, the Titans would not have chosen to seal this place together. After all, there is too much energy of N'Zoth here, and it would be much easier for N'Zoth to recover. However, after several battles, they only sealed the dark creatures here in batches, and finally succeeded in sealing N'Zoth." Sartharion explained.

"Then I can only kill them little by little? How much energy has the Titan consumed now?" Yun asked again.

"It has increased a little, but not significantly," replied Xal'atath.

"So it's going to be difficult for me to kill an ordinary dark creature in the end?" Yun asked with a sigh.

"Actually, this is a very good training for you. Although you can use many kinds of energy, your application of energy is still too immature, and there is too much waste in the process. If you make good use of it, your strength will be greatly improved." Sartharion suggested.

"So I can use this place as a place to hone myself? But it seems a little difficult." Yun didn't know why Salatas said that, but she felt that she was being too good for herself, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"Everyone has trained this way, but your growth rate is a little too fast. Similarly, the energy that your body can hold is a little beyond everyone's imagination. This allows you to squander energy to your heart's content, but you still need to practice to make better use of the energy."

"How do I practice?" Yun was confused. He only knew how to use the skills given by the system and didn't know how to use energy.

"Everyone is different, you have to try it yourself and experience it yourself."

Yun rolled his eyes after hearing this. Isn't this the same as not saying anything? What do you mean by experience it yourself? If I could experience it, would I need you to tell me?

Although Yun was somewhat disdainful of what Xal'atath said, he still felt that there was some truth in it. The same skill would not cause much damage to dark creatures, but considering that Sintiale could gather the holy light energy to cause greater damage, Yun felt that he could also give it a try, but he just didn't know how to do it.

Now that you have a direction, it's easy. Just go out and try. You will succeed sooner or later.

With Xal'atath's advice, Yun was finally less bored and regarded this place as his own training ground.
