Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 337 I Have Not Been a Boss for Many Years
Strong! Really too strong!
Murphy was suspended in the storm, feeling the power of thunder surging in his body, and his heart was filled with comfort and joy. This feeling of becoming one with the thunder of heaven and earth and holding the authority of the power of nature was by no means comparable to what he had experienced when he played the role of an ordinary black dragon in the past.
It was even more powerful than the feeling he had when he first became the ancient black dragon. This was a true control over the law of power, and it could not be measured by simple level and rank.
Murphy's gaze penetrated the storm , looking at the humans on the ground who were like ants, feeling the power of dragon thunder that permeated the surrounding storm. He knew very well that these people would never be able to pass through this ancient barrier.
Perhaps he was not quite sure before, but after advancing to the Dragon Thunder Destroyer, he had a better understanding of this strange huge storm around Tongtian Peak.
The power of the Dragon Eater - only you can master it.
It's time to go back!
Murphy flapped his wings violently and flew towards the Arathi Highlands.
While flying, Murphy suddenly remembered something.
Oh, by the way, there is still one hero soul that has not been used.
While flying, Murphy began to think.
This time he planned to strengthen a Dragon Feast skill as a hero skill.
The Dragon Feast skill itself is very powerful, and is not weaker than the divinely granted skill. If it can be further strengthened, its power will undoubtedly be further enhanced.
Unfortunately, the skill of Dragon Incarnation is a bit special. It is a form-changing skill and cannot be enhanced with the Hero's Soul. Otherwise, it would be perfect.
In fact, not only can the dragon incarnation not be strengthened by the hero's soul, all skills in the Storm Dragon King form, such as Dragon Thunder Storm, Dragon Thunder Shaping, Thunder Breath, etc., cannot be strengthened by the hero's soul.
It seems that the boundary between the hero template and the BOSS template is still very clear.
As for which one to strengthen.
He already had a general idea.
At present, his damage skills and self-protection skills are very sufficient, whether it is single or group damage, whether it is physical or magical, it is completely enough to deal with ordinary enemies.
What he needs now is a skill that can play a huge role in special situations.
To this end, he locked on three skills.
Arcanagos' Arcane Vortex is a special attack skill against magic enemies. After being strengthened, it should be able to better deal with all spellcasters and become the nemesis of mages.
Norildorm's Time Turbulence, this skill is just a self-preservation skill in the game. Murphy has tried it several times, and it is basically the same as the skill description, except that it can make one unable to be attacked for a short period of time.
But in reality, this skill can allow him to enter different parallel worlds. As for why he can't do this in the game, Murphy thinks it may be due to system limitations. If he can use the hero's soul to strengthen it, maybe it can produce a similar effect. However, he is not completely sure.
Nefarian's Dragon Soul Rend, this skill is very useful against dragons. Originally, he thought that 500 soul damage was too little, but in the battle against Eranikus, one Dragon Soul Rend dealt more than 10,000 and close to 20,000 damage.
Although this skill has a damage bonus for dragons, the result still surprised him. He didn't know how the soul damage was calculated. Was it based on the increase in magic power or the increase in attributes?
But no matter what, this thing made him see huge potential.
It is indeed a powerful skill with a 24-hour cooldown period.
Even if the instant death effect is not triggered, the power is still quite strong. It can be imagined that if it is used against ordinary dragons, it will definitely be an instant kill.
If it is enhanced into a heroic skill, its power will be even greater.
Considering that he will have to kill nine ancient dragons to obtain the original power next, and there may not be a group of epic heroes to help in the next battle, it feels necessary to strengthen this skill.
After hesitating for a moment, Murphy confirmed his idea. These three skills are all useful, but considering his current goal, Dragon Soul Tear should be the best solution.
Thinking of this, Murphy opened the skill bar and added the hero's soul to this skill.
[System prompt: Your skill 'Nefarian's Dragon Soul Tear' has been strengthened by the Hero's Soul and has been upgraded to 'Aidandron's Dragon Soul Annihilation'. ]
Hey, he changed his name! Murphy was a little surprised. Could it be because he used his hero's soul?
It is equivalent to an optimized version of 2.0.
However, the skill name is just a code name, and whether it is useful or not still depends on the effect.
[Aidandron's Dragon Soul Annihilation (Hero Skill/Dragon Feast Secret Art)
Use: Launch Soul Annihilation on a target, causing massive soul damage to it, with a certain chance of triggering an instant death effect.
Conditions of use: Consumes 300 mana points, cooldown time 24 hours.
Skill Feature 1: Dragon Break. It has a miraculous effect on dragon creatures, increasing soul damage by 100% and having a higher probability of triggering instant death effects.
Skill Feature 2: Soul Killer. If the target is immune to the instant death effect, it will cause soul weakness, reducing the target's perception, spirit, and intelligence attributes by 40% for 180 seconds (double the effect on dragons).
Skill Feature 3: Annihilation. The soul of the target killed by Dragon Soul Annihilation will be completely dissipated and cannot be resurrected in any way (this effect cannot be effective for adventurers).
Skill Description: This was a powerful magic that was painstakingly created by the Black Dragon Prince Nefarian. It can tear apart the soul of a dragon. The Black Dragon Prince injected his hatred for his father into this magic, but ultimately did not have time to use it.
This terrifying magic was created by Storm Dragon King Aidan Deron after strengthening and improving the evil magic of the Black Dragon Prince. It uses pure and powerful magic to directly annihilate the soul of the target. The killed enemy will never be resurrected. This is the most vicious and evil dragon language magic, and it is also a terrifying taboo in the eyes of the dragon clan. 】
Very good, strong enough!
'Vicious and evil', 'horrible and taboo', hehe, the more I describe it like this, the more powerful it feels.
In the future, when you deal with an ancient dragon, no matter what its attributes are, just use Dragon Soul Annihilation to put down the fire first. The 180 seconds of soul weakness is enough to launch a burst of damage.
——－
At night, Murphy finally flew back to the Allied Forces camp in Arathi Highlands.
At this time, the sky was about to get dark. The setting sun in the sky cast a deep red sky, and fiery clouds diffused in the sky. Murphy flew slowly in the deep red clouds.
Through Silver City, one can see the huge camp of the Alliance Army that stretches for dozens of miles.
Just outside the military camp of Alterac, Murphy noticed that the adventurers not only did not disperse, but their numbers increased.
There are as many as thousands of people.
I give up! Are these adventurers really determined to push me over?
Originally, he was a little conflicted and didn't want to get entangled with these adventurers. After all, they could not be killed and the fighting would be endless. At this moment, he suddenly felt a murderous intent.
——Do you really think that I, the Storm Dragon King, am so easy to get along with? How dare you come and block the door?
It's really a pity that Long Shan is bullied. I haven't been a boss for many years. Today I want to reminisce the passionate youth of those years.
It just so happens that my level is low, so I'll let you adventurers collect some experience points first.
However, he did not launch an attack immediately. Attacking adventurers without any reason would cause his faction's reputation to drop. He was already neutral and could not continue to become evil.
Then let's lure him out of his hole, and try out the effect of the ancient dragon scales I just obtained.
Murphy slowly lowered its altitude, and as its figure emerged from the clouds, it immediately caused exclamations from the adventurers below.
"I'm going, here I come!"
"Stop raising the flags and cheer up."
"The tank has added the buffs and is ready to attack the monster."
"Storm waiters, put up the lightning protection barrier!"
"Where's the hunter? Where's the sharpshooter? Get to the front. You must be the first to take action and fire the first shot to grab the aggro."
There are more than a dozen guilds, more than a thousand adventurers, and dozens of professional high-level tanks alone.
At this time, they all took up battle formations, and each guild team formed a battle group with a scale of dozens or even one or two hundred people.
The person in the middle of the team is naturally the magic profession responsible for "holding up the shield". Holding up the shield is a key position when dealing with dragons, whether it is against the fire protection barrier of the black dragon or the red dragon.
Or the frost protection barrier against the blue and white dragons, or the natural protection barrier against the green dragon...
To deal with the Storm Dragon King, a thunder protection barrier is naturally needed. In addition, these people seem to have done enough homework, knowing that this Dragon King can not only breathe thunder, but also spit fire, so a flame protection barrier is also prepared.
So huge blue and red barriers were erected. Looking from the sky, it looked like dozens of huge soap bubbles appeared on the ground.
The tanks have also added various protective magic, standing on the open ground, ready to take on monsters. Although these tanks are all adventurers, each of them is a high-level blood cow, each with more than one thousand and close to two thousand health points, which is nothing for a hero, but for adventurers, it is definitely a high-level play.
Moreover, based on the attributes of the BOSS, a large amount of lightning resistance has been stacked, and a bunch of protective spells have been added. In this way, no matter how high the damage of the BOSS is, it will not be killed instantly. It only takes two or three hits to kill one.
As long as you give the healer time to replenish blood, you will naturally be able to fight.
Over at the Allied Forces camp, a group of player heroes also stood on the tower to watch the excitement.
These players are still a little jealous about the Dragon Prince Aidan who has been in the limelight recently. Those who can spend money to play the hero template are all rich guys, and at the very least they are small middle-class bosses. Everyone wants to spend money to show off, but they didn't expect that you are the only one who shows off. Although it's hard for everyone to say anything as they are in the same camp, gloating is inevitable.
Some people even made bets on whether Aidan dared to come down.
Most people think that you will definitely not come down. There are more than a thousand high-level adventurers. No matter how awesome you are, I don’t believe you can defeat the entire army of adventurers alone.
Murphy also noticed the heroes who were watching the fun. They were all players, not a single plot character. The Regent of Lordaeron took the lead in watching the fun, and a group of princes, princesses, lords and generals were more excited than each other.
He understood these people's mentality to some extent, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If you want to laugh at me, you're overthinking it. Today I'll let you know what a super-powerful character is - what a powerful person who defies the heavens is.
He wouldn't dare to go down and fight a war of attrition with more than a thousand adventurers, but if he relied on the air advantage to deal with a group of scattered adventurers, he was very familiar with this kind of battle.
Sent a message to Darabonba and Sigrette, telling them to wait for his signal and lead the charge.
Then he continued to observe carefully, making sure there were no heroes below and no prompts to trigger plot events, then he slowly approached, continuing to hover as he got closer.
1000 meters, 800 meters, 600 meters...
When they were about four or five hundred meters away, Murphy stopped approaching and circled around the adventurers.
He was waiting for the other side to attack first. As soon as the other side attacked, he could kill without restraint without worrying about losing the reputation of the faction.
The maximum casting distance of the adventurer spellcasting profession is only about four or five hundred meters, and not all spells can be cast that far. Ice and fire magic all have flight delays, and the same is true for bows and arrows. The four or five hundred meters must be calculated in advance, so it is very difficult to hit the target.
Only electric magic can hit the target 100% due to its high speed.
Sure enough, seeing the BOSS circling at the edge of the attack range, the Storm Servant and Lightning Mages among the players could not help themselves. They raised their staffs, picked up their hammers, and began to cast spells at the giant dragon in the sky.
Lightning strike!
Lightning Arrow!
Snap, Snap, Snap! Seven or eight lightning spells fell on Murphy one after another.
Immune! Immune! Immune! A series of white words appeared on Murphy's body, making him feel numb and itchy.
He now has an electrical resistance of over 400 and 33% immunity to all elements. Ordinary electrical magic is truly harmless and can even help recharge him.
The adventurers below were confused. They thought, this creature is not an elemental creature. Although the dragon race has a higher resistance to the areas they are good at, they still have to take damage. How can this creature be immune to spells? What a joke.
Murphy laughed - the system saw it all, they were the first to take action.
It's time to get started!
Go ahead! He gave the order to Dara Bengba and Sigret at the same time.
The next second, the army camp of Alterac suddenly opened, and two teams of dragon-clad heavy cavalry rushed out, their iron hooves making the earth shake, and behind them were densely packed dragon-blooded giant warriors.
This is much more powerful than monster servants. The adventurers immediately felt threatened and turned their eyes to the knights of the Dragon Knights.
Now! Murphy swooped down and rushed towards the adventurers.
The adventurers had to guard against the sudden appearance of the Dragon Knight while also guarding against the breath of the BOSS in the sky, and they suddenly became panicked.
"Quick! Freeze him!"
"Knock him down."
"Mage, send a blizzard to the open space ahead! Don't let those soldiers rush over!"
"Don't panic, don't panic, deal with the BOSS first!"
The weakness of being independent of each other was instantly exposed. Some guilds wanted to kill the BOSS first, while others were nervously dealing with the attacks of the Dragon Knight.
This little confusion is enough.
Murphy approached quickly, and dense fireballs, ice arrows, crossbows and flying knives shot towards him.
Hurricane Armor! All bows, arrows and throwing weapons are blown away.
Ancient Dragon Scale! The magic bombarded Murphy, causing dozens of points of damage, or even just a few points of damage.
Murphy's elemental resistance is high, and coupled with the 33% spell damage reduction of the ancient dragon scales, he cannot be defeated at all.
In an instant, they approached the adventurers' formation.
"Don't be afraid, we have a barrier!"
Thunder Breath! The red lightning swept through the crowd like a whip, and those who were hit were horrified to find that they were actually losing blood.
In fact, the damage is not very high, because only 10% of the real damage penetrates the barrier, and it only causes dozens or hundreds of points of damage to the body. If the healing profession uses group healing to replenish blood, it can still withstand it.
But these adventurers were already panicking. The shield theoretically provided 100% defense. There was only one situation where they would lose blood, and that was when the shield was broken.
As soon as they lost blood, they subconsciously felt that the barrier had been broken, and they suddenly felt a sense of crisis of being exposed to firepower.
"Fuck, what's going on? Why is he losing blood?"
"It's over, the shield is useless!"
"What's the point of holding up the hood?"
"Give me some milk!"
"Don't panic, heal and keep attacking from a distance!"
You're still quite resilient? How about taking another hit from me?
Dragon Thunder Storm!
Hanging in the sky, Murphy began to release group AOE. In the sky, red lightning appeared out of thin air, and blasted down one after another. The damage was not high, but the crowd was dense, and there was no way to hide under the cover. Every time a lightning bolt fell, it could explode a large area of damage.
Several dragon thunders fell, and it was impossible to add blood.
"Fuck, forget about the shield, just disperse!"
"Don't run around, stay calm! Healers, heal as much as you can."
"Don't be silly. That red lightning is obviously not an ordinary lightning. The shield can't protect it. It's better to disperse and avoid damage! It's too disadvantageous to gather together."
Some people still wanted to stay together, but some had already begun to disperse, and the adventurers' formation suddenly became chaotic.
Even some of the people holding up the shields gave up their tasks and started running around.
Just as the crowd was in a panic, the Storm Dragon King in the sky roared, and two teams of dragon-clad heavy cavalry immediately launched a charge.
The melee adventurers formed a defensive line on the periphery, but were knocked flying one by one.
The cavalry rushed into the formation and the people and horses were thrown to the ground. Seeing the crowd below in chaos and the shields disappearing one after another, Murphy knew that it was time to reap the rewards.
He dived again, and when he was close to the ground, he suddenly stretched out his wings and swept a breath of thunder across the ground. The thunder swept through the unprotected crowd, and adventurers exploded one after another wherever it passed.
It was only at this time that the adventurers realized that the damage just now was really nothing.
Now it is really horrible. Those with lower levels are killed instantly, and those with higher levels can only withstand two or three hits at most.
Whether it was arrows or magic, it was just like tickling the dragon, and it was almost a one-sided massacre.
Murphy felt so happy watching the experience points popping up on the screen. This was much more experience than what he would get from killing orcs.
