Chapter 395 Powerful Means
Even with mythical abilities, humans cannot live for more than a thousand years. This is the limitation of their own life level. Even if they become mythical strongmen and their life levels have jumped, they can only live for more than 500 years, just like ordinary elves.
And the Emperor Nicholas of the Holy Lion Empire has been able to survive for thousands of years, and he has naturally used extraordinary means. Nicholas is actually a chaos mage who has practiced wind and water magic. It is precisely because he is a chaos mage that he is stronger than ordinary mages at the same level, and he was able to lead the rise of the Holy Lion Empire.
After being fortunately promoted to the mythical level before the deadline, Nicholas knew clearly that he could only live for another two or three hundred years at most. But he was unwilling. As a rare genius in the history of the Eslaze continent, he was unwilling to be buried by time.
Therefore, he used his mythical water magic ability to tailor a water magic for himself, the Longevity Ice Coffin. By sealing himself in the ice coffin, Nicholas's life span can be extended tenfold.
Of course, sealing yourself up won't do anything, even if it can extend your life tenfold, it's boring. Nicholas the Great hopes that in the long years of thousands of years, the Holy Lion Empire can find a way to truly extend life and even achieve eternity.
If the empire hopes to find a way to extend its life, it must naturally ensure the prosperity and continuation of the empire. Therefore, Nicholas the Great told the next Holy Emperor that he had sealed himself in the basement of the palace, and passed this secret down from generation to generation.
If the empire encounters a catastrophe or finds a way to extend life, the reigning Holy Emperor can wake him up.
However, this awakening is not without cost. The Longevity Ice Coffin can extend Nicholas the Great's life tenfold, so it is naturally not a magic without cost. Every time it is awakened, the effect of the Longevity Ice Coffin will be weakened by one point, which is equivalent to consuming hundreds of years of sealed life.
In history, Nicholas the Great has been awakened twice, both times when the Holy Lion Empire encountered unsolvable troubles, and the then Holy Emperor opened this last trump card.
The crisis was naturally resolved, and the news that Nicholas the Great was still alive after being killed was never spread. However, the two emperors who awakened Nicholas the Great were deposed when Nicholas the Great was unhappy because he had consumed his life.
Therefore, even before the night elves had fought outside the imperial capital, the Holy Emperor still had no idea of awakening Nicholas the Great.
It was not until he sensed the Heart of the Ocean carried by Illidan through the Heart of Light and made some speculations that he dared to awaken the ancestor Nicholas the Great.
After listening to the Holy Emperor's statement, the awakened Nicholas the Great was overjoyed. He originally thought that this time he was awakened to solve the crisis of the empire again, but he didn't expect that the crisis existed, but more of it was the opportunity he had dreamed of.
Nicholas the Great naturally knew the legend of the Heart of Eternity, and he had also searched for it frantically. But in the end, he only found a Heart of Light and set it on the crown. Although he gave up the idea of finding the Heart of Eternity, he also passed the crown down and kept some thoughts.
What he didn't expect was that this thought was actually realized today. Being able to become an emperor of the ages, Nicholas the Great is naturally not a fool. He agreed with the analysis of the current Holy Emperor after a little thought.
If it weren't for the fact that the parts of the Heart of Eternity were about to be collected, who would attack a country with a national strength similar to their own? Perhaps the Heart of Light now senses only one of the elves in front of him, but the Dark Night Empire must have other parts.
However, the most urgent thing is to get the Heart of Eternity that appeared in front of him first.
Unlike ordinary magicians, when Nicholas the Great reached the legendary level of mythical level, his attack method was no longer to cast attack magic directly.
Illidan also exuded an epic aura in his perception, so he didn't cast the wind wall casually like before, but chanted a sentence in a low voice.
"Ice and snow are coming!"
As he chanted a short four words, snowflakes suddenly fell where Illidan was. However, in these snowflakes, people could not feel the slightest magic fluctuation. The human epic magician watched excitedly, hoping to see the magic of the mythical magician.
However, what was jaw-dropping was that the snowflakes without any magic fluctuations were really like real snowflakes, and did not cause any harm to Illidan.
Illidan was also a little confused about this strange situation. Could it be that the mythical monster in front of him who seemed to be backing the Holy Lion Empire was just a flower stand?
However, after a few seconds, the people on the field no longer doubted the ability of the mythical strongman. Those snowflakes that seemed to have no lethality and were formed naturally, after floating for a few seconds, suddenly flew all over the sky and condensed into a human-shaped creature.
Perhaps it should not be called a creature, it is just a puppet condensed from ice and snow. But this ice and snow puppet, both in terms of size and face, looks exactly like Illidan in front of it. The difference is that this ice and snow puppet is all white.
Illidan's eyes turned cold. However, before he could get angry, the ice and snow puppet in front of him actually launched an attack before him. The ice and snow puppet, which looked exactly like Illidan, suddenly grinned and separated several balls of ice and snow from his body.
Some of these balls of ice and snow turned into ice arrows and flew towards Illidan; some quickly spread and grew larger, forming a small ice and snow storm, trying to sweep Illidan in. Others were made into great swords and shields, held in the hands of the ice and snow "Illidan".
It seems that this ice and snow puppet created by Nicholas the Great is still a guy who is suitable for fighting at a distance.
However, the ice arrows and ice and snow storms have no effect on Illidan. The green sacrificial flames slowly ignited on Illidan's body, and the ice and snow could not get close to his body at all.
The ice and snow puppet did not care, but rushed towards Illidan with a great sword and shield in hand, and quickly fought with him. However, although this ice golem has the same face and body as Illidan, it is impossible for it to have the skills that Illidan, as a hero of the night elves, possesses.
Therefore, although this ice golem is powerful, it quickly lost the upper hand in the battle with Illidan.
But even so, it was enough to shock the people present. You know, this is a golem that appeared when Emperor Nicholas chanted a sentence casually, and it can actually match an epic-level strongman! If he chanted a few more sentences, wouldn’t a large number of epic-level strongmen appear?
Everyone’s guess was correct. Emperor Nicholas would naturally not ignore other night elf heroes. Soon in front of Maiev, Luna and others, ice golems with similar faces also appeared and began to fight with them.
Only Tino, because of its huge size, could not form an ice golem of the same size as him, and only a smaller version of "Tino" fought with it.
This is not the end. In addition to summoning ice and snow puppets to contain the night elf heroes, Emperor Nicholas himself began to chant for a long time. The faint chanting sound echoed around, making everyone change color.
Before, it was just a few words that formed a powerful ice and snow puppet. Now Emperor Nicholas actually began to chant for such a long time. How powerful magic is he going to cast?
What Emperor Nicholas is preparing is actually a water-based forbidden spell "Ice and Snow". Facing tens of thousands of night elf troops, even as a mythical strongman, he could not directly confront them, so he chose to cast the forbidden spell directly to eliminate a large number of night elf troops to solve the crisis of the Holy Imperial Capital.
As for the damage that the forbidden spell may cause to the imperial capital, Emperor Nicholas did not care. If he can get the Heart of Eternity, he feels it is worth it even if the Holy Lion Empire is weakened.
