Chapter 1723: World-Soul
In sharp contrast to the players, the anxious Mar’alith was leading the way and rushing towards where his wife was .
Lu Li followed him, and was worried that Natalia would just kill him .
The Instance Dungeon had been dealt with and Mar’alith’s role had been completed, but Lu Li didn’t want to see that tragedy unfold .
Besides, if Mar’alith managed to save his wife, the quest reward was bound to be a rich one .
“Get ready to fight,” Lu Li reminded everyone .
He wasn’t so naïve to think that there wasn’t going to be a fight in the next section . He wasn’t counting on there to be a scene where the husband and wife would cry and embrace upon reuniting . Natalia was now an High Priestess of C’Thun and Lu Li and the others, including her husband, had just killed C’Thun in the Instance Dungeon .
As such, it was no surprise when she attacked once they met .
However, Mar’alith was shocked and didn’t even know how to fight back . If Lu Li and the others weren’t there, the commander of Cenarion Circle was likely to die .
“Breezy, block the attacks!” Lu Li shouted .
“Relax, it’ll be fine . I’ll keep this NPC alive,” Azure Sea Breeze said as he charged into Natalia’s petite body, but was sent flying . She managed to do this with just a wave of her Magic Staff .
She was nothing like a Priest in terms of their low survivability . She was more like a melee Magic profession .
“Lord Mar’alith, we must subdue her to use the Soul Shards of C’Thun . You will only have one chance, so if you feel like you are unable to fight then maybe we should retreat!” Lu Li yelled at Mar’alith .
Mar’alith couldn’t continue fighting on like this . It wasn’t that they couldn’t defeat Natalia, but there was no way that they could guarantee Mar’alith’s survival .
Mar’alith was the NPC and he had managed to survive until now because of his four Druid Transformations . He could easily survive Natalya’s attacks if he wanted to, but he was currently just standing there and probably wouldn’t last longer than 5 minutes .
When he finally heard Lu Li’s voice, Mar’alith finally came to his senses .
Yes, this woman wasn’t his wife . They had to restrain her and dispel the evil from her so that he could have his Natalia back .
Mar’alith quickly burst into action and was now taking part in the fight .
His wife was so beautiful that there had to be many people who wanted to be friends with him . But now, these friends were also helping him fight his wife .
This poor couple didn’t know that they would be repeating this process many times over in the future . At the very least, they would be doing this until C’Thun was nerfed enough that the players didn’t need to make use of Mar’alith anymore .
Natalia turned out to actually be a reasonably strong Boss .
However, she wasn’t as strong as C’Thun in the Instance Dungeon . Moreover, her husband knew her skills and was able to fight around her .

When Natalia was controlled by C’Thun, she stopped being blessed by the moon God Elune and instead turned to the Old God’s power . However, in terms of fighting style, not that much had changed . It was just the property of her attacks that had changed .
Mar’alith, who had been fighting by her side for countless years, could close his eyes and tell what skills she was about to cast .
With his reminders, Lu Li and the others sent Natalia Berserk without any issues . However, this was where the problems began to arise .
The question was whether they should kill her or not .
Mar’alith certainly didn’t want his wife to be killed . He just wanted to restrain her . If she was killed then he would be alone in this world .
“Stop! Breezy, just tank up . Healers, pay attention to his HP!” Lu Li cried out before explaining the dilemma to everyone .
This death would be a real one too – if they killed her then she really would be gone . Who knows? Mar’alith could even turn into a Boss if that happened and kill everyone . The Bosses that they were most afraid of were not the ones that had the most attack or defense, but the ones that could regenerate their own HP .
In general, Druid Bosses in Instance Dungeons were usually a severely weakened version of the profession .
Mar’alith wasn’t an Instance Dungeon Boss, but no one could weaken him . He probably couldn’t face C’Thun alone, but the players would rather face C’Thun than him . Mar’alith was such a strong Druid NPC that he was probably an Archdruid .
After everyone stopped attacking, only Natalia’s attacks were left .

Fortunately, her strength was quite ordinary, especially after she had finished going Berserk . There was no way for her to wipe everyone .
After the Berserk stage had ended, Natalya gained a weakness status effect .
Without Lu Li’s prompting, Mar’alith knew what to do . He went up and hugged his wife so he could place C’Thun’s Soul Shard onto her head .
It was like throwing a hot coal into water, as the C’Thun’s Soul Shard began to burn up all of C’Thun’s spiritual energy .
Mar’alith sitting around doing nothing either . His hand was filled with healing energy as he was a powerful healer himself .
With this two-pronged approach, the weakened Natalia tried to escape .
As she was struggling, she was doing a lot of shouting . The things she shouted seemed to make sense to those listening .
For example, she talked about the damage that the Titans caused to the mainland, and how if the Azeroth Titan woke up one day, they would all welcome the Drowned . She also mentioned some secrets about some other continents . These were things that Lu Li and the others didn’t know about . There were things that weren’t even recorded in the Stormwind City Library .
These things weren’t mentioned in the strategy guides, so it was likely that the officials would soon remove this part of the game .
Dawn’s lore and worldbuilding was quite complicated . For some people, Elune, who remained asleep, was Azeroth’s World-soul . They thought that she was the only true God on this continent .

Whether her presence was good or bad for the people living on the mainland, no one could really tell . But at least in the minds of the Night Elves, she was a positive force . Moreover, she had not just destroyed all the Orcs and the Undead, so the other Horde races still maintained a certain level of respect and fear for her .
As for what would happen if the World-soul woke up, it was generally believed that Azeroth would continue to exist even after that .
The appearance of Titans wasn’t something that had never happened before . And no one really thought that Azeroth itself was the World-soul . At the very most, it was the World-soul’s cradle, its homeland and nothing more . In the future, the World-soul might leave, but everyone would still be able to live on this land .
