Chapter 1678: The Thunderfury Quest

The opening of Ahn’Qiraj Temple had the attention of a lot of players, but its impact affected them slower than expected.

As time passed, almost everyone knew that the Twin Emperors had double the power to block the path of the clubs. It wasn’t just Ruling Sword, who encountered the Twin Emperors. Later, Glory Capital, which also attempted the dungeon and an alliance of a few big clubs were all stuck at this dungeon.

“If someone else really does get super lucky, then our First Clear’s gone,” Azure Sea Breeze sighed with a gloomy expression.

Although the First Clear was really important to Ruling Sword, the one who cared about the First Clear the most wasn’t Lu Li, but it was Azure Sea Breeze whose life mission was to appear on TV. His goal was to appear on the worldwide broadcast at least once a month.

“It’s not that simple. Luck doesn’t play that much of a role with this Boss,” Lu Li reassured, as he remained calm in spite of their situation.

And even if the Twin Emperors were defeated, the two Bosses after them would still be difficult. According to Lu Li’s memory, if nothing unexpected happened, the next Boss, would only arrive in the month following the Twin Emperor’s death. The last Boss, C’Thun, was also a challenge. It couldn’t be said exactly how long it’d take to kill.

“So are we really having a break in the afternoon?” Azure Sea Breeze had complete faith in Lu Li. As soon as he heard what he said, he wasn’t so sure of himself anymore. These past few days, everyone had been fighting to death against the Twin Emperors with very little rest. Most people couldn’t handle such extremes.

 “Take a break, do whatever you want to do, we’ll keep fighting these twins tomorrow morning,” Lu Li ordered with a wave of his hand, dismissing the team.

“Wait a sec, if you’re not busy, I’ve got enough Elementium Ore,” Azure Sea Breeze revealed.

“Elementium Ore? Already? No way.” Not long ago, they gave him the shared stuff to do the opening quest for Ahn’Qiraj, and now, he was saying he had all the materials. This was so sudden it was a bit unbelievable.

“It’s really easy, Molten Core’s weakened now, so naturally, you can farm more Elementium Ore,” Wandering explained.

More teams were able to defeat Molten Core. If the drops didn’t change, there’d naturally be more Elementium Ore and other materials going into the guild’s storehouses. The Elementium Ore that Lu Li borrowed from Azure Sea Breeze had been returned, and Azure Sea Breeze got together a bit more, so he certainly had enough materials to do the Thunderfury quest. He took everyone to Silithus’ Crystal Valley.

The quest NPC, Highlord Demitrian, was a warlock. In the beginning, he almost wanted to enslave the strong air element Thunderaan, but he ended up getting surrounded. He and his wind element slave were here looking for certain types of magic materials. Thunderaan was the son of the wind element lord, Al’akir.

Al’akir controlled the sky, the uncontested king of the airs and the winds. All air elements and flying creatures worshipped him and relied on him. His territory bordered all other elemental territories. The mutual influence between the wall of the sky and the other realms was stronger than the mutual influence between the other realms, but he was the most inconsistent ruler of all the elements and also the most eccentric.

Prince Thunderaan was born at night in the midst of a typhoon. He was a prince like the wind, hence his name Windseeker. Of the leaders of the four main elements, the wind element leader was the weakest. Al’akir didn’t avoid this label at all – he taught his own son, hoping that one day, the prince was able to lead the wind elements to devastate all the planes. Prince Thunderaan didn’t disappoint his father.

In ancient times, the Titans paid a visit to Azeroth. All the gods were worried about the Old God’s evil indulgences. At this, they sent out a team with the elemental lifeforms to do battle with their evil lord.

The Old God’s forces were led by the strongest element leaders: Ragnaros, Therazane the Stonemother, Wind Wielder Al’akir and Tidehunter Neptulon. However, the Titan’s forces had Sargeras leading. This was known in history as the War of the Dominators.

The relationship between the elements and the Old God was really one of mutual benefit. As their response to being called to enter into the physical world, the elements and the Old God were willing to resist the Titans who transformed the world. However, the elements weren’t completely united. The wind and air elements were in an alliance against fire. Two years before the War of the Dominators, Prince Thunderaan defeated Ragnaros.

In the 16th year of the War of the Dominators, Prince Thunderaan blocked Sargeras from attacking the world of wind and Sargeras was repelled from the world of wind. In the 17th year of the War of the Dominators, since Prince Thunderaan had a head-on clash with the almighty Sargeras, Prince Thunderaan began to lose his sight and his movements became slower.

Prince Thunderaan loved the wind leader Adoroyan’s daughter, the wind-kissed fairy Azshir. However, Prince Thunderaan knew that he would be blind soon, but Azshir hoped that Thunderaan would be able to follow her and leave the battlefield. Thunderaan knew he couldn’t give her want she wanted and didn’t reveal his love to her. This was called, ‘The Prince’s Regret’.

In the 20th year of the War of the Dominators, Thunderaan became blind. At the same time, the Tidehunter Neptulon was defeated by Sargeras and sealed off in the Great Sea.

In the 33rd year of the War of the Dominators, Sargeras betrayed all the gods. However, this wasn’t the end of the War of the Dominators. Rather, a new war had begun. Ragnaros attacked the realm of wind, while his underlings Garr and Geddon planned to trap Prince Thunderaan. Prince Thunderaan suffered an ambush from Ragnaros. After he died, his essence had been sucked away, but since Thunderaan was too powerful, Ragnaros accepted Garr and Geddon’s advice and sealed up the prince’s soul in two pieces of magic equipment, dividing them between Garr and Geddon to look after.

From that day on, Thunderaan never again saw night and day and Azshir, so he never had the chance to express his love. In the 36th year of the War of the Dominators, the realm of wind was completely destroyed, and the wind elements ran away in droves. In the 60th year of the War of the Dominators, the Titans came to this world again and sealed up all the elements who had opposed them. The War of the Dominators came to an end. Those who were able to free the prince proved themselves to the prince and received his blessing.

“So, have you prepared?” the aged warlock Highlord Demitrian asked, fixing up the summon circle, making sure that Azure Sea Breeze had freed the trapped spirit of Thunderaan.

“Yes, we’re ready,” Azure Sea Breeze said, raising up a big shield. Behind him, there were 110 people coming to help. Apart from those who had gone in to open up Ahn’Qiraj Temple before, there were also replacements from outside the Instance Dungeon.

Everyone was definitely sick of doing First Clears. Most people were planning on looking for somewhere to relax.

But Azure Sea Breeze was pretty popular, so after he gave out this request almost everyone responded to his call. A vast and mighty group of people came to Silithus’ Crystal Valley.

These 110 people were already powerful enough to deal with an average level 60 Boss. Even a harder quest Boss wouldn’t be a problem.

And with this group of people coming in, the members of the three big clubs watched the bustling area. As soon as someone dared to meddle with it, someone would immediately send a huge force against them and teach them a lesson.
