Chapter 471 Hard Fight
Looking down, Illidan's face first showed a trace of surprise as he watched the claws of the Heart-Digger reaching into his chest, and then he showed a mocking smile.
When his mocking smile just spread, the arrogant smile of the Heart-Digger froze. He quickly pulled out his claws and retreated at the fastest speed, his heart filled with surprise.
After his right claw reached into Illidan's chest, he actually didn't catch anything! The expected claw to dig out the heart ended in failure because it didn't catch the heart at all.
This time, the Heart-Digger really miscalculated. When Illidan was still in the form of a night elf, perhaps the sudden attack of the Heart-Digger would knock down a lot of Illidan's health, but now that Illidan is in the form of a demon, his body is an energy entity condensed by the breath of the demon, and there is no organ like a heart at all.
Fortunately, the Heart-Digger has encountered demons without hearts or with hearts in a different position before, so after discovering that his special skills failed to work, he reacted very quickly and retreated. Otherwise, he would have to face Illidan's fierce counterattack if he approached.
Of course, even if he retreated in time, it did not mean that Illidan could not pursue him. As an agile hero, Illidan had two changes of expression when the claws of the Heartthrob entered his chest, so he must have had time to counterattack.
But he was facing four demon kings. Under the long-range attacks of the other two humanoid demon kings and the acid rain of the insect-shaped demon king who was teased like a dog for a long time, Illidan would definitely lose more than he gained if he pursued the Heartthrob.
However, although the Heartthrob retreated immediately and Illidan could not pursue it under the threat of the other three demon kings, it was still hurt.
Generally speaking, the Heart-Digger, which can dig out the enemy's heart and soul, can cause mental damage even when facing an enemy without a heart or with a heart in a different position; but when facing Illidan in demon form, the Heart-Digger not only failed to use his ability to dig out the soul, but instead felt a cold burning sensation spreading all over his body.
Perhaps some people will wonder, if it is burning, how can it be cold? Ordinary flames are of course warm, but the sacrificial flames on Illidan's body are another matter.
The Heart-Digger's right claw reached into Illidan's chest, and naturally had to pass through the blazing but inconspicuous sacrificial flames around him. When the attack was just launched, the Heart-Digger had not noticed it; when it withdrew its hand now, the Heart-Digger felt a soul-destroying pain on its right claw.
Normally, the skill of sacrifice is in a closed state. Only when Illidan consumes mana to actively open and maintain it, will the sacrificial flames ignite around his body, causing damage to nearby enemies.
But when he changes into a demon form, Illidan's body will automatically be covered with sacrificial flames. So much so that wherever Illidan walks, there will be burning sacrificial flames left in his footprints.
In addition, the sacrificial flames that originally only passively caused continuous damage to surrounding enemies also have the ability to spread when Illidan is in demon form.
In other words, in demon form, the sacrificial flames on Illidan's body can burn on other objects - in fact, this can be seen from the sacrificial flames left wherever Illidan walks.
The Heart-Digger was hit by this move. Now, its entire right arm has turned into a faint green, and this faint green sacrificial flame is still spreading along the Heart-Digger's shoulder to the whole body.
The faint green flames burned on the Heart-Digger's body, but his flesh did not look charred at all, as if the sacrificial flames did not cause any damage. But the burning pain that penetrated deep into the soul from where the flame spread reminded the Heart-Digger that these green flames were not as harmless as they seemed.
Yes, the Heart-Digger's feeling was correct. The Sacrificial Flame was just like his own Heart-Digger Claw, which could hurt the soul. Now the Heart-Digger had difficulty concentrating on casting spells due to the influence of the Sacrificial Flame.
The Heart-Digger temporarily stepped aside, letting the other three demon kings besiege Illidan, and tried to find a way to eliminate the Sacrificial Flame. But after trying all the ways it could think of in a short period of time, the Sacrificial Flame not only did not go out, but slowly and firmly continued to spread along the Heart-Digger's shoulder.
With a fierce look in his eyes, the Heart-Digger made a resolute decision. Perhaps this green flame would go out by itself after burning for a while, but he couldn't afford to take the risk.
Waving his left claw, the Heart-Digger didn't hesitate at all and slashed at his right arm fiercely. With a "swish", the right arm of the Heart-Eater was cut off by itself.
Although this Heart-Eater does not have the ability to regenerate limbs as quickly as the Great Demon King Piccolo, the demon's natural ability to recover quickly has become extremely powerful when it reaches the level of the Demon King.
After the Heart-Eater cut off its right arm, countless entangled buds immediately appeared at the broken part - there is no doubt that the right arm of the Heart-Eater has begun to regenerate.
Illidan did not show any emotion at all for the cruelty of the Heart-Eater to himself. If he was in the same situation as the Heart-Eater, Illidan would have made the same choice. However, if the sacrificial fire burned on that guy's head, what should he do? Illidan thought so.
Well, this is just Illidan's YY to have fun in the midst of suffering. Under the siege of the three demon kings, he had no chance to point the sacrificial flame to the head of the reaper.
After cutting off his right arm, the reaper let it regenerate, but directly bullied it again and continued to attack Illidan. As a demon king who ruled a city, the reaper had to cut off his right arm this time. Although it would take some time to regenerate, it was a great shame.
Therefore, despite the risk of losing his arm, the reaper still participated in the siege of Illidan. With the help of the other three demon kings, even if he could only fight with one arm, he didn't have to worry about being seriously injured by Illidan's counterattack.
Originally, Illidan seemed to be in danger under the siege of the three demon kings; when the reaper, who had temporarily left the battlefield, joined in again, the situation became even worse.
Although he was in the demon realm and his various attributes had been strengthened, Illidan still felt a lot of pressure at this time.
In previous battles, weapons condensed by demonic aura, which could play a great role, were useless when fighting against these four demon kings. Because there were four targets, weapons condensed by demonic aura could not even harass them.
Even if Illidan controlled these weapons floating in the air to attack a demon king, he would return in vain under the full defense of that demon king. At the same time, the other three demon kings could attack Illidan with all their strength.
Compared with the ease when he was teasing the insect-like demon king at the beginning, Illidan's health value has dropped a lot now.
Because he is in demon form, Illidan's injuries are not visible on the surface. But his demon body, which was originally deep black, is now gradually fading in color - this means that the demonic aura is being consumed rapidly.
The reason why Illidan can extend the duration of the demon transformation by killing demons is because the killed demons can replenish his demonic aura. But when the demon body is seriously injured, the demonic aura in the demon domain will be consumed at an extremely fast rate.
If this goes on, even if all the demon soldiers in the area are eliminated, the demon transformation will not last too long. Illidan has a little worry in his heart, but more of it is a burning will to fight.
Dodge - dodge takes effect; raise your hand - mana burns and flies out; wave your hand - the Azzinoth Warblade cuts through the body of the demon king. Gradually, although Illidan is in a hard fight, he feels a magical rhythm of battle.
