Chapter 474 Completely Different Strengths
That's right, the lich that had been shattered or completely killed provided Illidan with some experience that he would not normally care about. Illidan, who had already eliminated the bottleneck between level 8 and level 9, successfully reached the ninth level of hero level with the help of this experience.
The ninth level of hero level in Warcraft corresponds to the early and middle stages of the mythical level in this alien world.
As soon as he reached the ninth level, Illidan instantly felt that the world in his eyes was slightly different from before. In particular, the demon realm, which was originally used as a combat auxiliary ability, now seemed to Illidan like his own body, and he could use it as if he had an arm.
Illidan's demon body, which had faded in color due to the gradual lack of demonic aura, reappeared in deep black after he suddenly upgraded to the mythical level. From the outside, this demon body is much stronger than before.
Of course, this stronger situation is not just on the surface. Illidan himself could feel that the power contained in his body now was simply incomparable to that when he was at level 8.
On the attribute panel, Illidan's strength, agility, intelligence, etc. were only slightly improved - this is also the norm when Warcraft heroes upgrade. But for some reason, Illidan felt that his strength had increased by more than double compared to when he was still at level 8.
Although there was no time to think too much now, Illidan still came to a perhaps accurate conclusion. Breaking through to the ninth level of the hero level, that is, the mythical level, the improvement may not be the power that has reached a certain limit at the epic level, but the means of using power.
From the epic level to the mythical level, Illidan relied on the wonderful battle rhythm he entered under the pressure of the siege of the four demon kings. In that wonderful battle rhythm, although he would still be suppressed by the four demon kings, Illidan knew clearly that this was much better than what he could do before.
The key to breaking through the bottleneck lies in that wonderful battle rhythm, so the substantial improvement in strength felt after the breakthrough should also be brought about by this point. The difference between epic and mythical levels may be the difference in the use of power.
If epic-level warriors still "drive" the energy in their bodies and even the outside world when fighting; then at the mythical level, people and power are "fused" into one, and there is no driving at all - because no matter how fierce the battle is, it is just a natural behavior like eating and drinking water for the mythical warriors.
Just like when the Holy Lion Empire surrounded and killed Emperor Nicholas the Great. Nicholas the Great just waved his hand and flicked his fingers casually, and he was able to form ice and snow puppets with epic power, fighting with several night elf heroes.
Using power like waving an arm, and showing a great power different from the ordinary, this is the so-called "myth". Perhaps, the strong at this level can already be called a god.
Illidan feels this way now. He has completely merged with the demon realm, and he only feels that he is the only god in the demon realm. Of course, he still dare not be disrespectful to his father god.
The feeling of time standing still when Illidan broke through before was just a side effect of the strange fluctuations he emitted during his breakthrough, not the real stopping of time. To put it bluntly, it was just an illusion of the demons and blood elves present.
Therefore, the purple-black beam that seemed to be stopped in the eyes of Illidan and the demon kings finally bombarded Illidan in the time when Illidan took out the lich head and smashed it and successfully broke through.
Illidan could foresee that the dodge skill would not work in the face of this powerful beam of light cast by the worm-like demon king with all his strength. If it was still at the epic level, this beam might cause him great damage, so that he would be defeated by the four demon kings.
But after breaking through to the mythical level and completely integrating with the demon realm, Illidan didn't care about this attack.
He didn't make a gesture of resistance - because there was no need at all. At the moment when the purple-black beam approached, Illidan's sturdy demon body suddenly turned into dark demon auras silently and quickly dissipated.
The purple-black beam flashed by, but it could not eliminate the demon auras that had become gaseous. And just after the beam passed, the dissipated demon auras condensed together again and turned into Illidan's demon form.
The worm-like demon king did not hesitate to suffer losses in the subsequent competition between demon kings for interests. This attack, which he launched with all his strength, did not cause any damage to Illidan. Even, it did not even consume a little energy of Illidan.
And this is just a very simple ability that Illidan has after he was promoted to the mythical level and merged with the demon realm. This ability allows Illidan to almost ignore this kind of traceable energy attack after the demon transformation.
When facing a traceable energy attack, Illidan has already merged with the demon realm, but has an external manifestation through the demon body. He can split himself into countless demon auras at any time to avoid the attack.
As long as this attack cannot break the entire demon realm, it will not have any effect on Illidan. And even if an enemy of the same level is trapped in Illidan's demon realm, it will take a lot of effort to break free, and that is without interference.
Now Illidan is already a mythical level, which means that only a mythical level strongman can break the demon realm and cause an impact or even some damage to Illidan, who has transformed into countless demonic auras. But the worm-like demon king is obviously only an epic level in the late stage, and there is no way to break the demon realm.
In other words, the purple-black beam it sent out with all its strength was completely useless.
If this kind of thing happened to Illidan himself, it would be nothing but embarrassing. But the worm-like demon king now has no time to lament that he wasted a big move, and its round and fat insect body is trembling.
Not only it, the other three demon kings finally understood what happened, and also stopped attacking, stagnating in the air, not daring to move at all. Almost in an instant, they quickly switched back to a defensive posture from their previous reckless attack.
At the same time, the four demon kings were cursing fiercely in their hearts. What kind of monster is this! Could it be the protagonist in the legend? I was so unlucky. I led my troops to sweep the seemingly harmless Blood Mountain, but I actually encountered a mythical guy who broke through in battle!
It’s not unheard of for four demon kings to break through in battle, but that was only in the silver and gold eras. This situation would never happen in the legendary epic. The mythical level is a legend in the world of Eslazer. The demon world is better, but the only well-known mythical strongman is the Flame Demon Emperor.
This is a mythical level! There is only one mythical level in the demon world! How can you say that you have broken through? The four demon kings just felt that God had played a big joke on them.
Thinking so in their hearts, the four demon kings did not dare to show any slackness on the surface. After Illidan broke through to the mythical level, although he had not yet counterattacked, the offensive and defensive momentum between the two sides had already changed.
After dodging the beam of the worm-like demon, Illidan paused for a moment before starting to fight back. This pause was actually to use the two extra skill points gained after reaching the ninth level of the hero.
After a little thought, Illidan added these two skill points to Sacrifice and Dodge respectively. Illidan was very satisfied with the characteristics of the Sacrifice Flame before; and the unconditional attack failure brought by Dodge was also very good.
After upgrading the Sacrifice and Dodge skills to the full level of fifth, Illidan's strength has improved a little. He is now completely different from when he was suppressed by the four demons.
