Azeroth: Starting with Eagle Eye in the Necropolis

She was so excited about the Titans' magic.

Rhodes nodded, took out a large, earth-yellow magic scroll that was half a person's height from his system space, and handed it to the female mage.

Chapter 42 Summoning the Fire Elemental, Jaina's Shock

The appearance of the enormous magic scroll also attracted the attention of the paladins and Uther present. Everyone showed curious expressions, wondering what Rhodes was doing. Only Uther waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

That kid Rhodes probably pulled out some Titan-level magical artifact again.

Jaina trembled as she accepted the enormous magical scroll, then slowly opened it. Inside the scroll was a magic lamp, from which floated a fiery red elemental.

There were no complicated magical runes, no magical incantations, not even arcane fluctuations, just a simple picture.

Jaina was speechless at the sight. What kind of magic scroll was this?

“Rhodes, I don’t understand. There are no incantations on this, only an image. Are you sure you can cast spells just by taking it?” The female mage looked at Rhodes with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, Gina, as long as you have it, you can cast the spell ‘Summon Fire Elemental’ recorded on it. Try to concentrate, sense the magic power contained in the scroll, and then guide it. The target is… the open space in front of us.” Rhodes nodded.

The female mage nodded with some skepticism, put away the huge scroll, and then began to communicate with the magic scroll.

The moment Jaina touched the magic scroll in her mind, she felt an indescribable mystery enter her brain, and she inexplicably learned a spell to summon a fire elemental.

There's absolutely no logic to it; I just learned it in such an absurd way! I don't even understand the principles behind this magic.

I have absolutely no idea how it works, nor do I know any of its incantations, but strangely enough, I can still use it.

A message even appeared automatically in my mind: this magic can summon powerful fire elemental creatures that can exist for a day.

During its existence, it will unconditionally obey any command from the summoner, and the number of summons is not limited to a single one.

The number of fire elementals this spell can summon is related to the user's mana strength. The more powerful the mage, the more skilled they are at fire magic, the more fire elementals they can summon.

"How are you feeling, Gina?" Rhodes asked, looking at the female mage who was deep in thought.

Uther walked over with a curious look on his face and looked at Rhodes with an inquiring gaze. Rhodes immediately gave Uther a brief account of what had just happened.

After learning the whole story, Uther was shocked. He never expected that the Guardian was watching them and even rewarded Rhodes with a magic scroll.

“It’s a strange feeling. I can’t describe this special magic spell in words, or rather, it’s not a magic spell at all. I can use it, but I don’t understand it at all.” Jaina showed a helpless expression.

This is not good news for the mage.

“Then let’s give it a try! Gina, see how many fire elementals you can summon. With these elemental creatures helping us, we can better carry out our mission,” Rhodes said.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Jaina nodded and then waved her staff.

There were no flashy special effects or strange magical runes. After a burst of red light, ten humanoid creatures, each three meters tall and engulfed in flames, appeared before the crowd, emanating a scorching aura.

These fire elemental creatures are completely different from some fire elementals in the Azeroth plane. They hover in front of everyone, their feet about tens of centimeters off the ground, and can fly up to about 1 meter off the ground, but it's basically useless. Flying a meter high is no different from not being able to fly at all.

Rhodes shook his head helplessly. Just like in the game, there were flight effects on screen, but no actual flight ability. Flight was possible through upgraded fire elemental attacks, or rather, teleportation. (Actually, there's a translation error; "electric elemental attack" would be more appropriate.)

"Is this... is this fire element? How amazing."

"Wow, that's amazing! Did Jaina the Mage summon it?"

“That’s really impressive. Gina, can you control these elemental creatures? How much mana does it consume?” Rhodes turned to the female mage and asked.

She drew ten fire elementals, four more than herself, which means that if this girl's strength were calculated using the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 algorithm, it would be five.

"Phew! I've used up about a third of my mana, I'm so tired!" The female mage said, panting, her hands supporting her legs.

"This magic is so powerful that I can't even unleash its full potential. Theoretically, if your magic power is strong enough, you can even summon hundreds of these creatures."

These 10 fire elemental creatures obey my commands completely and can accompany us in battle for a whole day.

"If a more powerful fire mage were to wield this scroll and cast a spell, its power would certainly be greater than mine," Jaina said.

As expected of Titan's magical technology! The sophistication of this magical creation far exceeded her imagination; it was simply beyond her current comprehension.

He estimated that even his teacher, Antonidas, could not fully decipher this magic, because, like himself, his mentor was also a mage skilled in frost and arcane magic.

Jaina believed that if there was anyone in the world who could decipher this powerful fire magic, it was only one person.

Kael'thas, the most powerful fire mage in the world of Azeroth today, is the prince of Quel'Thalas.

This high elf prince would definitely be very interested in this magic; he himself has a phoenix summoned from the fire elemental plane.

"Child, this is already very good. These 10 fire elemental creatures are not much worse than the water elementals you summoned."

"For our next move, we can have these fire elementals tank the damage; fire elementals are quite effective against the shadow creatures here," Uther said, slinging the Silver Hand warhammer over his shoulder.

Although not as effective as holy light spells, the power of fire elementals can still inflict terrifying damage on shadow creatures. Rhodes really knows how to surprise me.

“Rhodes, you absolutely must come to Dalaran with me. You have no idea what this amazing Titan artifact truly represents,” Jaina said solemnly as she returned the magic scroll to Rhodes.

After losing the magic scroll, she immediately forgot the spell's casting principle and was now completely unable to use it.

If this magic could be deciphered, and if the mages of Azeroth could learn it, it would be of great significance.

These fire elemental creatures were not summoned from the fire elemental plane, but were purely formed from the spellcaster's magic.

They possess no intelligence whatsoever and act entirely according to the spellcaster's will.

This summoning magic is absolutely amazing!

Chapter 43 Upgrade Summoning, Holy Light Element?

After Rhodes took the scroll, he smiled at Jaina, then equipped the magic scroll, which also consumed 25 mana points to summon a fire elemental.

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, if you don't use up all your steps for the day, you can give the magic scroll to another hero so they can continue using it. So Jaina can use the fire elementals she summoned.

Next, we'll be dealing with the Faceless One General Zakaz. Although he's extremely weak, we still need to be fully prepared. It's always good to have plenty of cannon fodder troops; the more the merrier.

Anyway, my mana is now at 60 points, and with Arcane Intellect, Blessing of Wisdom, and the Paladin skill Meditation, restoring mana shouldn't be a problem.

Exchanging 25 mana for 6 fire elementals is still a good deal!

"Lord Rhodes, you also summoned this fire elemental creature?" a Tyr guard asked as he approached.

“Of course, that’s the power of this magical artifact. You can cast spells just by holding it,” Rhodes said with a smile.

The fire elemental he summoned was exactly the same as the one Jaina summoned—a humanoid fire being 3 meters tall.

"What an amazing magical artifact! It's truly incredible! No wonder it's a powerful creation of Titan magic." The surrounding Lordaeron soldiers, paladins, and Tyr's guards all exclaimed in admiration.

"Its function isn't just for me! Lord Uther, why don't you try this magic scroll and see if you can summon fire elementals to fight alongside you!" Rhodes handed the magic scroll to Uther once again.

Although paladins are melee classes, they also have mana bars, and Rhodes wanted to see if Uther could use one.

"?? Rhodes, you don't mean you want me to summon fire elementals too, do you?" Uther looked at Rhodes with a surprised expression.

I'm a paladin, not a mage!

“Lord Uther, don’t underestimate the magical creations of the Titan Guardians. Why don’t you give them a try? Paladins also possess magic power, so other paladins can try as well,” Rhodes said.

“Theoretically, it is indeed possible, but I’m not sure if Lord Uther has enough mana to summon a fire elemental,” Jaina said.

Paladins do indeed wield holy light magic, but their magic is not mana! Is it really the same as a mage's mana?

However, the female mage also wanted to see what power this magical scroll actually possessed.

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Uther nodded upon hearing this and took the magic scroll. Just like Jaina before him, after receiving the magical scroll and wearing it, Uther immediately sensed a mysterious spell appearing in his mind, summoning a fire elemental.

Uther raised the magic scroll high and used the spell, drawing in powerful holy light elements as he channeled his magic.

The essence of a paladin is still the power of holy light. Uther felt his holy light power being drained away, and the golden holy light energy seemed to replace his mana, beginning to form bodies for these magical elemental creatures.

This time, special effects appeared: a dazzling golden light shone in Tyr's Tomb, unlike the fire elementals summoned by Rhodes and Jaina before.

The effect this time was truly spectacular. Four tall, humanoid creatures, each 4 meters in height and radiating flames and holy light, appeared before the crowd.

These holy light elements, with their long, flowing golden hair, all possessed extremely graceful female forms, their figures almost perfect. They were energy beings whose faces were obscured, but their female nature could be discerned from certain body curves.

The appearance of these four powerful holy light creatures immediately shocked everyone present.

"Great holy light, what, what is this?"

"This is a miracle of the Holy Light, a miracle created by the Holy Light."

"What a beautiful and sacred creature!"

"Praise be to the Holy Light! I can feel the powerful Holy Light emanating from these elemental beings." The paladins present exclaimed in admiration.

At this moment, Rhodes' expression was also one of shock. He had wanted Uther to try to summon a fire elemental, but what kind of thing did he end up with?

And why do these guys with holy light flowing through their bodies have female appearances? What is that old bastard Uther thinking?

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and looked at Uther with a wicked grin. Uther seemed to sense Rhodes' gaze and coughed lightly twice. The great Holy Light bears witness that he didn't know why a female form of Holy Light creature had appeared.

After these holy light elements appeared, changes also occurred within Rhodes' system.

A magic upgrade has been detected. The next time you summon a fire elemental, you can infuse it with holy light energy to summon a powerful holy light spirit.

It has 45 health points, 11 speed points, can fly on the battlefield, has 11 attack power, 10 defense power, and 8 to 10 damage.

They can cast holy spells such as Flash of Light and Holy Light, and are immune to mind magic, but they take double damage from shadow spells and are no longer immune to fire magic.

Rhodes was overjoyed. He had only wanted Uther to summon some fire elementals to make up the number of people, but he did not expect that a new type of unit would be summoned.

The powerful Holy Light element is far more practical than the Fire element, and in terms of health, it even surpasses the Earth element, which has the highest health.

What's even more remarkable is that there are two spells available that allow you to fly on the battlefield, which is much more powerful than fire elemental!

If I were to have an elemental city in the future, would it be possible to upgrade the fire element, or perhaps other elements could also be upgraded?

For example, give this magic scroll to Illidan and let him try using fel magic to see if he can summon fel elementals.

There's something going on!

However, it's a bit of a shame that these holy light elements, like the previous fire elements, are also summoned items and can only exist for 24 hours.

But it doesn't matter! In terms of sheer coolness, the Holy Light element is far more powerful than the Fire element from before.

I also possess the power of Holy Light. Next time I summon, I'll try using Holy Light instead of mana to see if I can summon Holy Light elements.

“Rhodes, I don’t really know why, but just now the power of the Holy Light seemed to respond to me. When I summoned these elemental creatures, I used the Holy Light to shape them.”

So they didn't become fire elementals, but holy light elementals. As for why they have female appearances, I think it might be a revelation from the holy light! Uther said, looking at Rhodes.

Rod nodded upon hearing this. "Don't worry, I understand. What man doesn't want a glittering wife?"
