Volume 7: Battle for Azeroth Chapter 361 The Art of Explosion
After hearing Lagrios's plan, Murphy couldn't help but admire it. He had an idea. He really had an idea.
I didn't expect that the skills chosen by my old friend were so essential. Could it be that he had been prepared to do this for a long time?
But now that I have arrived at the right time, I can take advantage of the opportunity to achieve great things together.
I glanced at the hundreds of adventurers and a dozen powerful heroes below, and said I was sorry to everyone.
Aidan Delong: Needless to say, I will definitely do it. However, the casting time of your skill is too long. Five seconds of preparation time is enough for a player to run hundreds of meters. If it is an agile hero, he can run two or three hundred meters. If he can teleport, it will be even more amazing.
I think if we want to maximize the power, we still need to operate it. How about this? We do this and then this...
Laglios: Haha, Old Mexican, ah Old Mexican, you are indeed better at playing than me. Okay, it’s settled.
The two of them had made their plan, and the scene instantly returned to reality.
Lagrios (Balloy Lord): "Die, bug!"
boom!
Another fierce and heavy blow, the Hammer of the Fire Demon, accompanied by blazing flames, blasted out with unstoppable force, but was blocked by the Sword of Dawn again without suspense. The flames of the Hammer of the Fire Demon almost engulfed him. Although the block was successful, it was inevitable to lose blood. After all, it was a world-class BOSS, and the splash damage from the basic attack alone was several hundred.
However, four or five healing spells immediately fell on the Sword of Dawn, and his health was restored in the blink of an eye.
Dawn Sword was quite excited while enjoying the treatment. After nearly a year, he finally returned to his peak and was able to stand on this world-renowned battlefield and fight against the BOSS.
It’s worth it that I have been leveling up day and night over the past year.
For many days and nights, in order to quickly level up, he walked alone in the dark wilderness, chopping wild boars and fishmen, and not even letting go of a small monster.
While others were drinking and bragging in the tavern, he was leveling up. While others were flirting and chatting with NPC beauties, he was also leveling up. While others were participating in the plot and writing the story, he was still leveling up.
Thanks to this crazy leveling efficiency, he has now reached level 74. Although not as good as the peak state when he led the crowd to attack the Dark Dragon's Nest, with the attribute enhancement and additional BUFF given by the dragon bloodline, his strength is not weaker than before.
Even the Fire Demon Lord can resist.
Lagrios was still roaring at this time, "Foolish mortals, you will pay the price for your rudeness." "Humble ants, tremble in front of the great King of Flame."
But in the eyes of the Sword of Dawn, the Fire Demon Lord in front of him was just struggling in his death throes.
Based on his understanding of the game, all of the Fire Demon Lord's skills have been successfully targeted, and the only thing left is to delay time.
It's another round of saturation attack. The health of the BOSS has dropped to 30%. The Dawn Sword has also perked up again. Generally speaking, 30% of the health is the rage line of the BOSS. If the BOSS has any big tricks, it will usually be used at this time.
Dawn Sword (Dragonblood Knight): "Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the killing phase. "
The players participating in the siege were all extremely excited, waiting for the BOSS to come down so they could grab the equipment.
However, at this moment, the Fire Demon Lord turned around and "crawled" towards the altar.
The Fire Demon Lord has no legs or feet in his lower body, but instead his body is made up of a ball of rotating lava flames, so it can only be described as crawling. Wherever it moves, it will leave a lava-like trail.
The Fire Demon Lord's target seemed to be the location that had summoned him before, and he was shouting as he moved.
Lagrios (Balloy Lord): "Foolish mortals, do you think you have won? Humph, don't be too happy too soon. You haven't seen my true power yet."
At this moment, the giant dragon above suddenly swooped down.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Be careful everyone, I can sense a dangerous aura emanating from the Fire Lord. Retreat quickly, I will take over the rest of the battle."
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this, thinking, you're still acting, what's that 'dangerous aura'? Where does that dangerous aura come from? Didn't you see that the Fire Demon Lord was about to run away? If you want to steal the kills and equipment, just say so.
This time, instead of retreating, everyone pressed forward even harder, attacking madly and unleashing all kinds of powerful skills at full firepower, just waiting for the BOSS to die so they could snatch the equipment.
The Fire Lord finally climbed to the center of the altar, but the portal opened by the ritual was long gone, and it was useless for him to stand in the center of the altar. At this time, the health of the BOSS had dropped to 20%, but the Fire Lord did not go berserk like other BOSSes.
Instead, he raised the Hammer of the Fire Demon, as if preparing some special spell.
Lagrios (Firelord): "Enough! You lowly ants, I am the Firelord Lagrios, I am immortal, do not think you have defeated me, this battle is only the prelude to the elemental tide, one day my master and I will return together, and this world will burn.
But now, please excuse me - the gate to the Land of Fire, please open it for me immediately!"
"Fuck, this guy actually wants to run away."
"Stop it now, don't let it open the door!"
"Output at full strength!"
Everyone rushed to launch a final burst attack on the Fire Demon Lord. Various heroes attacked crazily and some even attacked him face to face in order to increase damage.
However, the next second, a strange light suddenly appeared on the body of the Fire Demon Lord.
The original red body of the Fire Demon Lord had dimmed after a series of battles and looked gray, but at this moment it suddenly became brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling white light, as if a sun was expanding inside his body.
"Oh my god, something seems to be wrong?"
“Is this the special effect for opening the door?”
"No, it feels like it's going to explode!"
There are few fools among the players who can
Some people instinctively wanted to stay away from the BOSS, others were more decisive - whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the light of teleportation flashed one after another, and some people simply ran away.
But there were also some who didn't react and thought that this was the effect of the skill used by the Fire Demon Lord to escape.
"Don't run, the boss is about to die, attack as hard as you can."
There were also those who felt something was wrong but were confused by the previous lines of the Fire Demon Lord and were hesitant.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of players showed completely different mentalities and reactions.
Some people fled frantically, some activated life-saving skills just in case, some were hesitant, and some believed that this was the BOSS's bluff, and not only did they not run away, but they stepped up their output.
Adventurers are relatively calm. To them, death is nothing, so they focus on dealing damage.
However, the Fire Demon Lord showed no intention of disappearing. On the contrary, its body became brighter and brighter, expanding and flashing with light of destruction.
It was as if a fusion reaction was occurring, and even a fool could see that something was wrong.
"Oh no! The boss is going to self-destruct!"
"Quick! Run!"
"Open the shield!"
But it was too late.
A huge mushroom cloud shot up into the sky, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded. The violent shock wave spread in all directions, and the entire summit of Broken Spear Peak was obscured by the smoke and dust produced by the shock wave.
The bright light of the explosion almost blocked out the sun's light, and the Alliance and the Horde, who were in the process of fighting, had their ears ringing in an instant and could hear nothing.
Those who were far away were knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
The hundreds of players located in the center of the explosion disappeared directly in the shock wave of the explosion.
I don’t know how much time had passed.
Maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes.
The roar of the explosion finally dissipated.
It was quiet atop Broken Spear—extremely quiet.
Lava and volcanic ash continued to rise into the sky, and the sun became a shadow behind the dark clouds. The dark volcanic clouds blocked the sunlight and cast darkness onto the earth.
In this doomsday scene, in the core area of the explosion, the Fire Demon Lord and the adventurers were all gone, leaving only a horrific crater and thick ash.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the ashes, and a female paladin struggled to climb out of the ashes.
Phoenix looked at the tragic scene around him with fear, thinking that fortunately he believed in the Holy Light, and survived the explosion by activating the Holy Shield in time.
But others were not so lucky.
She looked at the corpses scattered all around her, and there was another wriggling under the ashes. Obviously there were other survivors. Although the damage of the Fire Lord's self-explosion was as high as 40,000, most players still kept a certain distance, so the power was weakened. In addition, the players activated various life-saving skills, so there was still a certain chance to hold on.
In comparison, the adventurers suffered a much more tragic fate. Almost all of them were killed, and the ground was littered with corpses.
The worst off are the three tanks closest to the BOSS. Although they are incredibly tough, they are probably in great danger because they are too close to him.
And the few guys who rushed over to try to grab equipment at the last minute probably won’t survive.
While healing herself, she observed her surroundings. The ashes were filled with equipment dropped by adventurers. She picked one up at random, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. The equipment - yes, it was dropped by the BOSS!
And the equipment of those dead heroes!
She rushed towards the location of the BOSS's body. Although the Fire Demon Lord was blown to ashes, his body still existed. The Fire Demon's Hammer and the lava-like thing underneath clearly showed a light that could be picked up.
However, before she got close, she heard a croak, and a raven flew to the body and transformed into a human form. It was Morgana, the Witch of the Wilderness.
Then another black figure appeared out of thin air behind the BOSS's body like a ghost. It was the assassin master Phantom Qianzong.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw what was in each other's eyes. Almost at the same time, they reached out their hands towards the BOSS's body.
However, when the female knight reached out and touched it, she was stunned. The body was empty and not a single thing was left.
Phoenix (High-level Paladin): "This! You two have really fast hands."
Morgana (Witch of the Wilds): "Damn, what the hell, we've made so many sacrifices, and you've taken all the equipment."
Phantom Thousand Trace (Master Assassin): "Damn it, where's the equipment? Where's all that equipment?"
At this time, more survivors crawled out and rushed towards the BOSS's body like crazy, but naturally they set their targets on the three people in front of them.
There were seven heroes still alive, and all of them had the same question.
What about the equipment? Not only the BOSS's equipment, but also the equipment of the heroes who died?
Especially the three tanks. You have to know that the heroes who can fight against the world boss must have extremely powerful equipment. However, now there are only corpses and no equipment can be seen.
The explosion just now killed at least five or six heroes, but there was not a single piece of equipment to be found in the core area of the explosion. Instead, the ground was littered with equipment dropped by the dead adventurers around.
Just when everyone was confused, a giant dragon suddenly fell from the sky.
Looking at the confused crowd, he showed an annoyed look.
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Damn it, I warned you long ago, look, this is what greed and desire will bring you.
Mortals, don't hesitate, leave here quickly, the Alliance army has begun to retreat, and the Horde's reinforcements are about to arrive. It will be too late if you don't leave now."
Sure enough, at this time, the sound of shouting and killing could be heard faintly from the bottom of the mountain.
It turned out that after the violent explosion just now, Godwin and Ner'zhul were both in a daze. This explosion was not part of their plan.
But Godwin reacted quickly. The goal of the Alliance was to destroy the altar and prevent the tribe from summoning the Fire Lord. Now that the Fire Lord himself had blew up the altar, it could be said that the mission had been exceeded, so they just had to retreat.
The only pity is that it didn't stand out much.
However, being able to disrupt the tribe's plan is also a victory.
In comparison, Orgrim and Ner'zhul seemed a little mad. Not only did the Firelord they summoned die, but they also blew up the altar. They were completely helpless now.
In anger, Orgrim ordered an all-out attack on the Alliance army, not for victory, but only to kill more Alliance knights.
Godwin commanded the lords to fight and retreat, and now they are retreating.
After hearing what the Storm Dragon King said, the heroes had no choice but to retreat.
However, when the group of seven ran to the edge of the cliff, they despairingly discovered that a large army of wolf cavalry had surrounded Broken Spear Peak.
The wolf cavalry army led by Saurfang finally came back to reinforce.
"It's over. This is not good."
Aidandelon (Storm Dragon King): "Don't worry, mortals. I have anticipated this situation. My dragon riders will carry you away!" After a roar, seven dragon riders immediately fell from the sky.
The seven player heroes couldn't help but sigh that although the Storm Dragon King was a bit dramatic during the battle, he was quite considerate.
One by one, they hurriedly climbed onto the dragon's back, hugged the dragon riders tightly, and flew high into the sky under the leadership of the Storm Dragon King, flying towards the direction of the alliance camp.
