Chapter 473 Breakthrough! Mythical Level!
In the previous battles, Illidan had stopped moving several times, but that was because he knew that the attacks of the four demon kings would fall on the place where he was going to move next, so he avoided them.
This time, although he saw the purple-black beam of light ejected from the mouth of the insect-like demon king, Illidan stopped moving not to avoid this attack. If he wanted to avoid it, he should continue to move.
The reason why he ignored the attack of the insect-like demon king and stopped moving was because he was about to upgrade.
After a period of dealing with the four demon kings, the strange battle rhythm that Illidan felt had reached its peak. He could feel that he would be promoted to the ninth level of hero level like Tyrande and step into the realm of myth level.
It was only when he was about to upgrade that Illidan discovered a serious problem. At that time, Tyrande met the upgrade conditions in prayer, and then stepped out of the Moon Temple to kill a monster to increase the experience that was originally accumulated and no longer growing, and truly reach the ninth level.
Now the conditions for upgrading are met, but where does the experience needed to break through the bottleneck come from?
The demon soldiers involved in the demon realm have been dealt with long ago, but Illidan was still in a bottleneck at that time. The demons killed could only bring him the harvest of demonic aura, but could not make him gain even a little experience.
Now, after the rhythm of the battle he felt reached its peak, Illidan only needed a little experience to upgrade - even if he just killed a gold-level or even silver-level demon that he usually didn't even bother to look at. However, Illidan can't do this now.
In the battle with the four demon kings, Illidan was on the passive side. Before, he wanted to drag some more demon soldiers into the demon realm to kill them to prolong the time for the demons to transform, but he couldn't do it. Now he wants to catch other demons and provide himself with the experience needed to break through the bottleneck, but he still can't do it.
Is this the only way? Even in the fierce battle, Illidan, who was still calm with only fire burning in his eyes, couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time.
In this situation, if he wants to gain more experience, he can only kill one of the four demon kings in front of him. But if he wants to fight to the death under the siege of four demon kings, even Illidan, who is as confident as he is, feels a little impossible.
Alas, this is really a dead end! Facing the siege of four demon kings, Illidan can only break through to the mythical level to fight back; but to break through to the mythical level, Illidan has to kill another demon king to do it.
Faced with such a dilemma, Illidan felt helpless. Maybe he could kill one of the four demon kings by fighting back desperately, but it is not certain that he can do it. What's more, even if he fights to kill a demon king, Illidan himself may die with that demon king. In this case, there is no question of breaking through to the mythical level.
Just when Illidan felt that he was in a truly desperate situation, a grand and majestic voice suddenly emerged in his mind-Illidan knew it was the voice of the Father God.
"Illidan, have you forgotten the lich?" At the critical moment, Yu Fei gave Illidan a warning.
Although it was just one sentence, Yu Fei's words really woke Illidan up. Yes, how could he forget the lich!
When Frozen Purgatory destroyed the undead base alone, Illidan captured the guard lich of the base - of course, because the lich was ignorant and dared to resist, Illidan destroyed its body, leaving only a head. Anyway, a creature like a lich can survive even if it only has a head.
Although the lich is not an epic hero, it is also a legendary powerhouse. If it is not completely killed, Illidan will not get experience even if he destroys its body. Only by keeping the lich alive and crushing it, Illidan will get the experience that this legendary lich can provide.
And now, isn't it just this little experience that Illidan lacks! Illidan, who reacted quickly, opened the space ring and searched for the lich head in it.
Although Illidan's space ring was filled with a lot of magic crystals, magic hearts and other materials looted from the undead base, it was still no problem to find the lich head. There was no air in the space ring, so ordinary creatures could not survive in it. However, the lich was an undead creature, so he didn't care about this.
When Illidan took the lich head out of the space ring, the lich with only the head left was still emitting cold mental fluctuations such as "The master will not let you go!"
At this time, the purple-black beam from the mouth of the worm-like demon king had just passed half the distance between it and Illidan.
Looking at the purple-black beam containing powerful energy and unparalleled power, Illidan's mouth showed a sneer of disdain. Then, he did not dare to hesitate at all and smashed the lich head that was still chattering.
In an instant, the entire demon domain was still. Even the purple-black beam that was flying towards Illidan at a very fast speed seemed to have suddenly solidified and stayed in mid-air.
A silent wave quickly swept across the demon realm with Illidan as the center. This strange wave even spread beyond the demon realm and radiated to every demon soldier and blood elf in the battle.
The four demon kings felt a sudden chill in their hearts. Even ordinary demon soldiers and blood elves could feel the fluctuations that swept around them, and the four demon kings were no exception. Although they didn't know what this sudden fluctuation meant, they all suddenly felt something was wrong.
Before they could figure out why they, who were enjoying the advantage, felt something was wrong, the changes that had taken place in Illidan explained it to them.
Originally, the aura emanating from Illidan was stronger than that of every demon king present. Even though he had been besieged for quite a while, the demonic aura on his body had been consumed a lot, and in terms of aura, Illidan was still stronger than those demon kings who were not as good as even the Great Demon King Piccolo.
But after the strange fluctuations spread out, Illidan's aura suddenly disappeared into thin air. It was as if the radiating fluctuations consumed the ethereal aura on Illidan's body.
The four demon kings felt a little puzzled, similar to the feeling in the previous battle when Illidan always avoided their attacks with his dodge skill. Even if the guy on the opposite side finally couldn't hold on and was about to lose under the siege of the four of them, it shouldn't be like this, right?
However, the four demon kings all changed their expressions. The aura that disappeared without a trace on Illidan suddenly burst out again. It seemed that the aura that disappeared before was just to respond to the way of holding back and releasing, first restraining and then bursting out.
However, this burst of aura is a bit too terrifying, right? The four demon kings felt bitter in their mouths. The worm-like demon king who had just ejected the purple-black beam didn't even notice that saliva was unconsciously flowing from his mouth.
After Illidan smashed the head of the legendary lich, the aura that burst out from his body made the four demon kings in the demon realm feel their bodies suddenly tighten, as if they were restrained by something.
The four demon kings knew in their hearts that this was aura suppression. However, this feeling of being suppressed in momentum only occurs when the opponent is one major level higher than oneself.
Since being promoted to the epic level, these four demon kings have not experienced this feeling of being suppressed in momentum for a long time. When the Flame Demon Emperor invaded the Abyssless Land, these four demon kings had not yet reached the current level.
The feeling of being suppressed in momentum was only experienced by the four demon kings when they were still at a low level in the past. Now, they have encountered this long-lost feeling again on Illidan who has undergone a mutation.
But if they can choose, the four demon kings would rather not experience this long-lost feeling again. Because it means that Illidan has reached the mythical level!
