Chapter 455: Battle with the Lich
Although Illidan had no intention of continuing to kill the lich after killing Duke Dracula, and was ready to settle the matter for the time being and contact the undead, the lich did not think so.
When Illidan cut Duke Dracula into three pieces, the lich cast frost armor on himself. Then, without seeing any movement from him, a cold breath suddenly appeared where Illidan was again - the lich once again launched Frost Nova.
Illidan was also a little speechless about the lich's behavior. Could it be that this guy could not see his own strength? Or was it that he, an 8th-level hero, had no deterrent power against this lich of at most 6th level?
This time, Frost Nova did not have the same effect on Illidan as before. Illidan used the Fire Demon form before, and was attacked by the restraining attribute of Frost Nova in the environment of Ice Purgatory, so he seemed a little vulnerable. But after returning to the body of the demon hunter and being on guard, Illidan was still able to dodge even if the Frost Nova was cast suddenly.
But even if he dodged, Illidan was still very unhappy with the lich's ignorance. So he didn't hesitate, and rushed forward, and the battle blade in his hand directly cut through the frost armor that was rotating around the lich.
There was no surprise. The frost armor that the lich cast on Duke Dracula before had no effect, and it was still the same now. After breaking the frost armor and passing through the lich's seemingly illusory body, Illidan withdrew again.
In his opinion, he just needed to teach the lich a lesson. After all, according to the Father's intention, this visit was mainly for friendly exchanges-although Illidan himself had an inexplicable disgust for the undead.
Illidan's idea was indeed good. It stands to reason that a normal person would give up fighting and start communicating after finding that he had no way to defeat the enemy in either attack or defense, and that the enemy had no intention of killing him.
But is the lich a normal person? Obviously not. The lich did not feel the kindness of Illidan, who only broke his frost armor and injured himself instead of killing him directly. On the contrary, after Illidan withdrew, the lich actually began to use his ultimate move.
After Illidan withdrew and returned to the body of Duke Dracula, he opened his mouth to speak and wanted to start a conversation with the lich. But before he could say anything, he was shocked and angry to find that there were suddenly many purple-black lights around him.
These purple-black lights were like butterflies flapping their wings, flickering, and looked very gorgeous. But under this beautiful scene, there was endless murderous intent.
In the range covered by the purple-black light, Illidan only felt that his vitality was rapidly fading. Even when fighting against the Great Demon King Piccolo, his health did not drop so quickly - after all, he had a set of hero-exclusive equipment, which had bonuses for both attack and defense for demon units.
How is this possible? Illidan was a little bit unbelievable. He could feel that the lich was at most at the legendary level, but the skill it cast could cause great damage to his epic-level hero. This was simply unscientific and magical!
Although Illidan was puzzled, it did not prevent him from quickly exiting the range covered by the purple-black light. He could feel that this skill did not have the ability to track enemies like some of Eslazer's spells.
Sure enough, after exiting the area covered by the purple-black light, Illidan no longer felt his vitality rapidly draining away.
When Yu Fei saw the purple-black light appear, he recognized that this was the ultimate skill of the lich, Death and Decay. Although Yu Fei could not empathize with Illidan's rapid loss of vitality, he could also guess Illidan's fear from the fact that his health value dropped one by one on his attribute panel.
In theory, the general legendary level cannot pose a threat to the epic level, but first of all, the heroes in Warcraft are different from the general strong men in this other world. Apart from anything else, Illidan himself can also fight against the epic humans by using the demon transformation when he is at level 6.
Among the various skills, this death and decay is a special existence. Unlike other skills, the name of the skill is not only domineering, but also powerful.
Death and decay: The lich summons the deepest death power, consuming the health of all units and buildings within a certain range at a rate of 4% per second, ignoring magic immunity.
It is precisely because the death and decay causes percentage damage that Illidan will feel the rapid loss of vitality. Even if he is a whole level higher than the lich, if he stays in the coverage area of the death and decay for more than 30 seconds, he will be killed directly-the reason why it is not exactly 25 seconds is because Illidan's life recovery speed is very fast.
However, it is also very simple to deal with the skill of death and decay, just leave its coverage area. In addition, some skills that can cause stun and silence effects can also interrupt Death and Decay, because this is a skill that requires the caster to continuously guide. Therefore, in general, this ultimate skill of the lich is used to destroy buildings.
Like now, it is actually a very unwise move for the lich to cast Death and Decay on Illidan alone. In just one second, Illidan quickly left the coverage of this terrible skill and only suffered a mere 4% of his health damage.
The lich's rigid fighting style and inability to communicate, rigid behavior and lack of intelligence also made Yu Fei very confused.
After all, this lich is also a hero? Heroic units are born with high-level intelligence, how could they be so lacking in intelligence?
The lich in front of Illidan seemed to be rather rigid when he received Duke Dracula, but Yu Fei did not pay too much attention to it, and attributed it to the fact that the undead were not good at dealing with people.
However, now it seems that this is a lich of a hero unit, not just a lich who is not good at dealing with people. From the current situation, the intelligence of this lich is not even as good as that of an elite night elf soldier.
Yu Fei was puzzled by this strange situation. However, Illidan did not know what Yu Fei was thinking. Under the lich's continuous attack, this hunter who had already hunted thousands of demons finally became angry.
A green beam of light suddenly appeared and shot at the lich. Although this mana burn did not have any silencing effects and failed to interrupt the lich's death decay, it still made it tremble and look a little painful.
However, although this lich acted stiffly, it was not a complete fool. Seeing that Illidan quickly left the range of death decay, it took the initiative to interrupt death decay and cast frost armor on itself again.
It was only when he wanted to cast Frost Nova again to restrict Illidan that he found that his mana was not enough.
Yes, in just a short while, the lich had cast two frost novas, three frost armors and one ultimate skill, death decay. In addition, Illidan's mana burn will eliminate part of the enemy's mana and cause the same amount of damage, even the lich who belongs to the magic hero has almost consumed his mana.
For other magic heroes, after the mana is exhausted, the only means of output is general attack. Perhaps the elite blood elf witch can solve this problem by using the active effect of the mana source, but the undead obviously do not have blood elf witches.
But even though there was no blood elf witch, and there was no Ten-Victory Stone Statue that could restore health and mana among the undead troops, the lich was not worried about the lack of mana.
He pointed at a skeleton warrior not far away with one hand, and many cracks quickly appeared on the skeleton warrior's body. From the looks of it, although the skeleton did not collapse directly, it was trembling and on the verge of falling apart.
At the same time, a blue light suddenly appeared on the lich's body, and then he cast Frost Nova towards Illidan who was walking towards him.
