Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 393 The Third Trump Card
In the past, Murphy had always been accustomed to fighting one against many and crushing all living beings with the powerful form of a BOSS.
He has even somewhat forgotten the experience of fighting as a mortal.
He will participate in the plot campaign as a hero, and facing the terrifying power of the ancient dragon, he will be somewhat less confident in his own strength.
However, after a brief period of adjustment and cooperation, Murphy finally discovered that the hero is invincible.
No matter how powerful the BOSS is, to put it bluntly, it is meant to be defeated by players. It is impossible for a situation where players are completely unable to defeat it.
Therefore, it is generally difficult for the BOSS to kill the hero instantly. In a one-on-one fight, the hero will naturally suffer a loss. But once a strong lineup is formed, with healers, output and tanks, it will be too easy to fight.
The tank holds the healer and heals well, and the DPS is pumped hard. The tactics that adventurers used to deal with BOSSes are still effective at this time.
With a luxurious lineup like theirs now, a combination of three epic and three gold heroes, what is there to be afraid of?
After figuring this out, Murphy suddenly felt heroic and rushed forward again with two huge swords in his hands.
Polyreus was still roaring and waving his dragon claws. Every strike made the ground of the cave tremble. The sound was shocking. However, in Murphy's eyes, there was no threat at all. Even though I only have 10,000 blood, I have a healer behind me, so I can have unlimited refills.
On the other hand, the White Dragon King in front of him has a health value of more than 500,000, but any less will be a lot less.
Fearless slash!
Murphy jumped and slashed forward to kill him.
After a few minutes, Polyrelius' health dropped to 50% (previously 70%).
On the other hand, although Murphy and Varian suffered repeated serious injuries, as long as a ray of holy light fell on them, they would instantly become full of energy again.
While fighting, Murphy was also paying close attention to the movements of Borelus. When fighting a BOSS, the most feared thing is the phase transition. Although the current situation is okay, he cannot be careless. The most critical thing is Borelus's "battle strategy". The final BOSS of the copy can usually use at least two battle strategies. I don't know what he is going to use to deal with them, the players.
The battle is still going on, and the health of the White Dragon King keeps decreasing, 49%, 48%, 47%, but Polyus still has no intention of using combat strategies.
Murphy became somewhat alert. Did it mean that it would have to be suppressed to below 30% before it could be opened?
The more demanding the unlocking conditions of a combat strategy, the more exaggerated its effect tends to be.
It is said that there is even a battle strategy with 10% health points, but I have only heard of it. It is too dangerous.
Bang! Varian was hit by Borelius' claw and almost sank into the ice.
-4399!
Hero skill——Great Holy Light!
+4976!
[Great Holy Light: Heal the target for 10% of its maximum health + 2500 health points, and remove all serious injuries.]
The cute big-breasted girl is wearing healing gear, and one shot of Great Holy Light can add nearly 5,000 HP, which is truly a life-threatening blow.
Swish, the next second, Varian jumped out of the pit in high spirits.
Meng Meng Big Breast took a sip of mana potion, but her mana still didn't return to full.
"Quick, give me a Mana Awakening."
The two mage players immediately used Mana Wake on the cute big breast together, and this time the mana was finally restored to full.
At this time, she is the core of the battlefield.
"We are about to win!" Varian said uncertainly, as he couldn't see the monster's health.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Not even close. Be careful, everyone. It's about to unleash its ultimate move."
At this moment, the BOSS's health finally dropped to 30%.
Sure enough, Polyreus flapped his wings, and a fierce wind blew, blowing all the surrounding players away.
Looking at these mortals in front of him and feeling the pain on his body, the White Dragon King was filled with anger and murderous intent.
It's time, it's time to show true power.
Borelius (King of White Dragons): "Mortals, your efforts have made me tired. I have to admit that your courage and resilience are beyond my expectations, but this is meaningless in the face of the true will of the universe. Prepare to face the power of the Frost Dragon!"
[Battle strategy—form transformation: Frost Dragon.]
Strategy introduction: Transform into a frost dragon that is completely integrated with frost. In this form, the power of all your frost magic and frost breath increases by 50%, and the freezing effect increases by 50%.
You are immune to all ice damage. Enemies within 15 yards of you will receive 33 points of frost damage per second and an additional layer of freezing effect. The fire damage you receive is increased by 100%, and you may be inflicted with the "armor-breaking" effect when you are hit hard. 】
The dragon's originally snow-white scales now became crystal clear, like ice crystals, and it exuded a freezing coldness that kept strangers away.
[Battle Strategy-Special Strategy: Summon Eternal Frost.
Strategy introduction: Summon the ancient forbidden power - the power of eternal frost, freeze all units within a 1,000-yard range within 30 seconds, and the frozen units will fall into a state of eternal stagnation. This combat strategy will also take effect on the user. 】
The fierce storm swirled with Polerius as its core, spreading in all directions.
The biting cold instantly perked up everyone.
"Quick, activate the frost protection barrier!"
With a bang, six or seven covers opened at the same time. However, to the horror of everyone in the barrier, the barrier didn't work.
His life span did not drop, but the freezing effect that continued to accumulate on his body did not slow down at all, and dozens of layers accumulated in the blink of an eye.
"Remove the curse!"
Swish, swish, swish!
disperse!
The spell is lifted!
The magic power collapsed!
Elemental protection!
Holy Shield!
He used all kinds of protective magic and dispelling magic on himself and his teammates, but it was useless. No matter whether it was magic or divine arts, they all lost their effects at this time.
Everyone could only watch as the freezing DEBUFF continued to accumulate.
Flamestorm!
In her haste, Morgan Lisa actually cast an AOE fire magic on herself. However, even though she burned off several hundred health points, she still couldn't slow down the accumulation of freezing. Even the flames gradually solidified in front of the power of frost and turned into solidified red ice crystals - 'Frozen Flame' Borelius, indeed, was as good as his name.
I watched my body being covered in frost, gradually turning into an ice sculpture from toes to head.
"Damn it!" Morgan Lisa cursed, and her whole body turned into an ice sculpture.
"Fuck, I'm frozen!"
“Run!”
Even the heroes can't handle it, let alone the adventurers.
The frost froze the adventurers into ice sculptures one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a group of human-shaped ice sculptures appeared around them.
"Thaw, thaw quickly!"
"Shit, I can't solve it."
"Are you kidding me?"
Bolerius (Frost Dragon): "See, ignorant mortals, this is what happens when you fight against the White Dragon King! Eternal Frost is a forbidden power from the beginning of the universe, a power that you cannot understand.
You little mortals, have you seen my collection? They were all ignorant fools who dared to challenge me. Now, without exception, they have all become my collection. It looks like I will add new items to my collection today. "
Borelius's cold voice echoed in the cold wind. Although Murphy was panicked, he was not particularly panicked. The reason why he was relatively calm was that before entering the copy, he had prepared three trump cards for this final battle.
The first trump card is Varian. He definitely has Frostmourne in his hand, which is a divine weapon. If Varian is willing to pull it out and fight the white dragon, he will most likely win.
I just don't know if Varian has any concerns. Even at this time, he has no intention of taking action and is still waving his Saramani pedicure.
The second trump card is Sargeras' Ring of Domination. Of course, he will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. It's not just the problem of blackening. Every time he uses it, he can feel the malice from the residual soul of Sargeras. This residual soul has been tempting him, wanting him to absorb the power in the ring and become one with it.
As for the third trump card... Murphy sighed, it seemed he had no choice but to use it.
Disguise - removed!
That’s right, this is his third trump card.
He had calculated this from the moment he entered the dungeon. How could he rashly challenge a BOSS at the level of an ancient dragon, or a story-based battle to the death, without some support?
His darkening progress had already reached 60% before, and he had chosen the hero specialty [Senator of Alterac], but he had never chosen to whitewash himself because of a bug.
You can also transform into BOSS form in the dungeon. If you can't defeat it in human form, there is still a chance to turn the tables.
In fact, in order to perfectly exploit this BUG, he made two preparations. The verbal attack with the High Priest of the Cult of the Dragon was just one of them. In case the verbal attack failed, he was ready to use the Ring of Sargeras to summon a bunch of hellfires to help in the battle and complete the last 10% of the progress.
As long as the progress of blackening reaches 70%, the system will determine that the player has blackened and become a BOSS. Logically speaking, he has gained the ability to become a BOSS.
But he didn't expect that the system would give him a 'camouflage' BUFF in the end, which made things more convenient.
Now is the best time to take off your disguise.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "The outcome is yet to be determined, Bolerius. Since you are so confident in the power of your domain, I will fight you in my same dragon form - the Dragon Incarnation!"
[System prompt: You have removed the 'disguise' on your body. Your template has been changed from a neutral hero template to an evil BOSS template. The system has detected that you already have a BOSS template... Template synchronization in progress... Your dragon incarnation skill has been unlocked...]
Murphy let out a terrifying roar, and his body swelled up instantly. A pair of wings that covered the sky stretched out behind him, and his limbs turned into ferocious dragon claws.
A few seconds later, a smaller monster appeared in front of Pollux.
However, Murphy was surprised to find that the dragon form could not stop the power of ice, and the freezing effect continued to accumulate.
At this moment, his limbs were covered with frost and his wings were also frozen.
How is this possible? A boss, especially one this big, should be immune to most control skills.
Bolerius (Eternal Frost Dragon): "Hahahaha, stupid Dragon Eater, the dragon power you stole cannot save your life. This eternal frost power comes from before the birth of this universe, in an era before anything appeared. The whole world was plunged into a cold and dead silence. This is the true meaning of the eternal frost power. Return to silence, return to eternity!"
Before the universe? Cold, dead silence?
Could it be the legendary great silence ?
Murphy remembered seeing this concept in a scientific magazine. The traditional theory of the formation of the universe holds that all matter in the universe appeared in a big bang about 13 billion years ago. However, this mainstream theory has been challenged recently. A theory called the "Big Cold" holds that the universe is formed in its current form through continuous cooling and crystallization.
I never thought that playing a game could actually give me access to scientific knowledge...
Murphy was lost in thought as his upper body was frozen . Finally, the Storm Dragon King was completely frozen in the ice.
Polyreus looked at the ice sculptures around him with mixed feelings. In the form of a frost dragon, he was immune to freezing effects, otherwise he himself would fall into an eternal stagnation state. He seldom used the power of eternal frost, not only because it consumed too much energy, but more importantly, he himself was deeply afraid of the terrifying power that could freeze everything, even time.
Even when it transformed into a frost dragon, it often felt that power seemed to be affecting its will and its soul...
Click.
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the silent hall.
Polyus looked suddenly in the direction where the sound came from. The largest ice sculpture, the frozen Storm Dragon King, had a crack on its surface somehow.
How is it possible! Borelius was shocked. This was not ordinary magic. The power of eternal frost contained the power of the law of time. How could there be cracks?
Click-click-click
The cracks spread rapidly, and then with a click, the Storm Dragon King spread his wings, and the ice shell wrapped around the Storm Dragon King instantly turned into ice blocks all over the sky and flew away.
Pollux was completely shocked.
Borelius (Frost Dragon): "This-this is impossible! No one can resist the power of eternal frost. Even a real dragon cannot resist it, let alone a fake dragon like you."
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "You don't understand the true meaning of 'dragon' at all. The power I wield is beyond your imagination."
At this moment, Murphy already understood what was going on. The so-called eternal frost power seemed to be some kind of freezing magic at first, but in fact the key lies in the word "eternal". This power is actually a special way of using the power of time, and frost is just an appearance.
[Ancient Dragon Scale (Legendary Trait)
Passive: Your basic armor increases by 100 points, you gain 33% immunity to all spell damage, and are immune to the negative effects of all time spells. 】
The scales of the ancient dragon can be immune to the control of time magic, so he was able to escape.
Murphy stretched out his wings, and his scales were like ancient rocks, unchanged even after eternity.
The dark blue pupils of Polyrelius contracted.
"Is that—the scale of an ancient dragon?"
Aidandelon (Storm Dragon King): "Yes, this is the power from the ancient dragons, the power that transcends the laws of time and real matter. Even if you have mastered the power of eternal frost, no one can fight against the ancient dragons. Now - become the food for me to ascend to the ancient dragon, Bolerius, offer your flesh and blood, sacrifice your soul, 'join' me, let us become gods together."
