Chapitre 12: Tar Goroth - Arc rise of the light kingdom
*******
POV Talion:
s-so much power, it's crazy, I can feel it, running through my body like a raging torrent, strengthening, and stabilizing my physical power.
My magic is strengthened, I can push it out of my body and materialize it in the environment, moreover if what I saw in their memories is true, my power should increase greatly.
Testing my new power, I push the magic out of my body and materialize it in the environment, this one is now visible, this process was then impossible for me, I was reduced to infuse it in my weapons or to use it in my abilities.
I manage to push it and when it takes physical form it takes a pure white color, it is malleable, my magic is gaseous.
Pushing it further, I quickly find a limit, I can't push it more than 10 meters around me in a kind of dome. But I can separate it, make it thinner or condense it.
My element being ice, I try to transform a fraction of the magic that orbits in this dome, quickly my magic is attracted to form a shape, after some time it forms a spear of ice, colder than I have ever been able to realize until now.
This discovery changes many things for me, I will have to change my fighting style, combining distance and hand-to-hand combat.
Deciding that I have to deepen my knowledge, and that I have to adapt my fighting style, I send a message to Idril announcing her the good news, here I go again for a training session.

-Third POV-
During this time, on the plateau of Gorgoroth, an orc with yellow and malicious eyes which exudes an evil power in its surroundings, sets up a ritual around a mining excavation site.
Him and his followers take their places and begin the ritual, chanting and casting magic spells, they are putting all their magic in a deep and dark hole in the center of the site.
With this ritual, they hope to awaken a dark and evil creature, a creature of black flames, servant of Morgoth and defender of his fortress, Utumno. A beast from another age, a Balrog.
*******
Five days later, we find Talion in the region of Seregost, after days of training, he has finally mastered his new power, and is ready for the conquest of Nurn. Just as he was about to put his plan into action, a powerful evil force awakens in Gorgoroth.
Talion, sensitive to magic, immediately detects this powerful dark magic, finding its origin, it wasn't long before he recalled one of the events from the game.
'What is this powerful evil force? It comes from the plateau of Gorgoroth, no, that wouldn't be... A Balrog, yes, it is the Balrog, Tar-Goroth, I had completely forgotten about it, fuck it, I'll have to deal with it, such a powerful force can't fall into the hands of Sauron'.
After a few moments he immediately heads for gorgoroth.
*******
In Gorgoroth, the ritual comes to an end, the adepts continue their songs, their eyes of fanatics in pure ecstasy in front of the success of their endeavor. Their leader Zog rubs his hands together, thinking he is able to turn this creature into his servant, a pure madness.
From this cave, a giant, 6 meter high lava colossus rises from the depths. Shrouded in fire and shadow, this general of Morgoth once again makes his appearance in the middle earth. Imposing and destructive, his fiery wings unfurl and in a mad rage, he flies through the sky at full speed.
With the destructive power of a dragon and a rage fueled by thousands of years in darkness, Tar Goroth could devastate the world if he had the chance. Entire armies have perished before him, and the greatest heroes could fall to him.
This beast is a corrupted maiar, which means that it has no concept of death, once its physical form is destroyed, its soul remains and it can resume its physical form years later.
Talion arrives, but too late, he watches helplessly as this beast flies away, then scanning the environment, he finds Zog, the instigator of this evil. Thinking that this orc must be put out of action as soon as possible, he teleports behind him with {Spectral Assassinations} and pierces his throat, then decapitates and dismembers him before freezing him.
Meanwhile, Tar-Goroth in a fury deploys a whip of flame and shadow that he slams into the air causing flashes of fire, then he lowers it and strikes in the direction of the adepts, burning them, they are immediately transformed into ash with no way to retaliate.
Talion observing the power of the Balrog remains on his guard, he summons two specters, exact copy of him possessing less power and translucent that he sends to retain the Balrog.
Faced with this threat the Balrog turns and summons a flaming sword, he strikes and clashes with Talion's two specters while Talion uses magic to summon 5 pillars of ice.
The spectres spin and dodge the Balrog's multiple blows, while hitting him with sword blows, arrows or daggers. This has little effect on the Balrog, who has thick, tough skin like a dragon and is very resilient.
Once the pillars are ready, Talion shoots them in the direction of the Balrog, then at very high speed, he attacks Tar-Goroth with numerous blows reinforced with powerful magic, concentrating on a precise point, his right shoulder.
Tar-Goroth slams his whip in the air and destroys two of the pillars and tries with his sword to chase Talion in vain. Three of the pillars hit the target and weakens him, knocking him to the ground. Talion seizes this opportunity and calls upon his power {Elven Rage}
Slowing down time, he moves with his two specters at great speeds, strengthening his blade, he attempts to cut off one of the Balrog's arms.
After his skill fades, the Balrog stands up and lets out a roar of hatred and pain, his arm almost cut off, he summons dark flames that he throws at Talion before lashing out and striking in great succession with his flame whip.
Talion moves at great speed and avoids the attacks while his spectres surround the Balrog and fire powerful arrows at his feet to freeze him.
Talion takes advantage of this moment, teleporting behind the Balrog and in one large blow severs the Balrog's arm. The Balrog screams with rage and destroys the surrounding area with his sheer physical strength. He goes into a frenzy and destroys everything in his path with his sword.
The temperature rises and Talion once again withdraws until the Balrog finishes striking. Then by surprise the Balrog turns to him and shoots a spear of flame very quickly that he narrowly avoids switching places with a specter, which he reinvokes in the process.
Talion withdraws once more and prepares a reinforced spell that he learned, thanks to the memory fragments of the Nazgûls. Indeed, the practitioners of magic, especially the maiar, are able to create magic with command words and power songs.
The specters mobilize to distract the beast, hitting it, shooting spells at it. Meanwhile Talion incants:
"Holder of the black flames of Morgoth, servant of the flames and shadows, beasts of darkness of ancient times, I call upon the power and great lands of the north, let the power of the icy lands come to me, the ice of the north, intense cold, opponent of heat, come to me, give me your power and strike down my opponent. Absolute zero!"
Following his incantation, an icy current appears in the environment, then a storm arises, turns in the sky and returns in front of Talion before concentrating in a sphere. The Balrog, seeing this phenomenon roars and throws flames in the direction of Talion.
These flames have no effect and disappear immediately after impact with the sphere. Then Talion, points the sphere in the direction of the Balrog, this one turns into a huge spear and pierces the Balrog at very high speed, extinguishing its flames and freezing him in the process.
His eyes shut down and are replaced by absolute cold. Sensing the death of the Balrog, Talion runs at full speed towards it. He sees the maiar's soul leaving his body to wander in the middle earth and not wanting to miss this opportunity, he tries to absorb it by dominating it, as with the nazgûls.
But, the psychic power of the maiar coupled with the speed of the evaporation of their souls, makes the task much more difficult for Talion who only manages to absorb a part of it before it disappears completely from his field of vision.
