Chapter 513 Locust Swarm [3rd Update]

Death Decay is a skill that can cause percentage damage. It contains the purest and most terrifying death power. This extreme death power can not only cause great damage to living beings, but even dead objects such as buildings will completely wither under Death Decay.

Of course, the superposition of eight layers of Death Decay does not mean that the percentage damage caused is multiplied by eight. In that case, if dozens of liches cast Death Decay together, they can easily kill the enemy instantly.

If there is no resonance, and simply eight liches cast Death Decay on an area at the same time, the death power can only expand the range of the skill after interfering with each other, and the power cannot be increased much.

Even with the guidance of Kel'Thuzad, the genuine lich, the superposition of eight Death Decays only has 10% damage per second - this is the effect that can be achieved when facing enemies of the same level.

When facing the mythical Fire Demon Emperor, even if eight layers of Death Decay are superimposed, the effect will be weakened. But even so, feeling the vitality in his body rapidly flowing away like a dam with the gates opened, the Flame Demon Emperor was full of fear.

Before, whether it was the Death Coil of the Death Knight or the Frost Nova of the Lich, although they could cause some damage to the Flame Demon Emperor, it was at most a minor injury. Only relying on the energy supplement from the outside, the Flame Demon Emperor was able to recover quickly.

But this time, when he suffered the effects of multiple death and decay, it was completely different.

The dead are opposite to the living, and the power of death is also corresponding to the vitality, not the fire energy that the Flame Demon Emperor is good at using. If possible, the Flame Demon Emperor really wants to use the loss of his own power to replace the loss of vitality, but this is impossible.

Even if the effect of death and decay is reduced due to the difference in rank, the Flame Demon Emperor also lost a lot of vitality in just a few seconds.

It should be noted that when facing a stronger opponent, the effect of this superimposed death and decay will be weakened; correspondingly, when facing a weaker opponent, the effect of multiple death and decay will be enhanced - this is different from a simple lich casting this skill.

If this multiple death and decay is cast on the heads of those flame creatures that are generally only bronze and silver level, then it is very likely that they will lose 100% of their vitality every second - that is, instant kill, large-scale instant kill.

However, the Flame Demon Emperor did not have time to think about these things at this time. After a moment of hesitation, he found that his vitality had been lost by one-tenth.

"Roar!" The Flame Demon Emperor exploded. It was the first time in such a long time that it felt the coming of death. These unprecedented purple-black lights were too overbearing. If he stayed in the coverage area of ​​this purple-black light for half a minute, the Flame Demon Emperor, a mythical-level strongman, would also die.

Mobilizing his power, the Flame Demon Emperor directly detonated the energy body that he had spent a lot of effort to condense. This huge body, which was fifty meters high, was detonated just like that. The power it released was so strong that even within the range of Death and Decay, the flashing purple-black light stagnated for a moment.

Taking advantage of this sudden explosion, the main body of the Fire Demon Emperor flew out from the bursting energy body, trying to rush out of the area covered by Death and Decay.

However, Death and Decay under multiple resonances were not that simple. With the overlap of eight skills, this Death and Decay already carried a certain domain nature. Even if the Fire Demon Emperor detonated his energy body to escape from danger, he still couldn't rush out in the first time.

The Fire Demon Emperor, who flew outward with the explosion of his energy body as a driving force, felt as if his whole body was glued.

In the end, although it still rushed out of the range of Death and Decay in a panic, it wasted another four or five seconds. And at this time, the four or five seconds, converted into a loss of vitality, is a terrible 20%.

In other words, when Kel'Thuzad put down this round of Death and Decay, the Fire Demon Emperor lost one-third of his life. But even so, Kel'Thuzad still seemed a little dissatisfied.

As a mythical level, the Firelord's combat experience, reaction speed and decisiveness were too outstanding. Kel'Thuzad thought that this feast of multiple death and decay would cost him half his life.

Indeed, if the Firelord had not quickly discovered that this terrifying skill had a range, rather than a targeted skill like the previous Death Coil Frost Nova, and decisively gave up the energy body that relied on to fight four hellfires and four death knights, the damage would have been even greater.

But even so, the battle situation in the Molten Realm had a clear reversal at this moment.

The Firelord's vitality disappeared by one third, which was reflected in the Molten Realm in that the little Firelords who were fighting the South Abyss Alliance Demon King or the Corrosion Beetle suddenly collapsed by one third. At the same time, the flames in the Molten Realm also became weak from their original blazing appearance.

The disappearance of the little Firelord did not mean that the Firelord was short of energy. No matter how great the damage was, the control of fire energy was the innate ability of the Fire Demon Emperor. Until now, the outside world was still continuously replenishing energy into the Molten Fire Realm.

The reason why one-third of the little fire demons collapsed was because the death decay traumatized the soul of the Fire Demon Emperor, reducing the number of summons he could control by one-third. This kind of soul trauma is one of the manifestations of the loss of original vitality.

The disappearance of one-third of the little fire demons means that the demon kings or crypt lords of the South Abyss Alliance who were fighting with these little fire demons were relieved.

Originally, after some corrosive beetles were transformed by liches with insufficient magic points, the little fire demons seemed to suppress the reduced number of enemies with great momentum. Now that they have lost more, those demon kings and crypt lords are naturally beating the fallen dogs and breathing a sigh of relief.

It would be fine if it was just like this. After all, the Molten Realm is the home ground of the Fire Demon Emperor. It can still hold on with all its strength. But Kel'Thuzad's means are not just that multiple death decays, it is a set of combined punches.

At some point, the four crypt lords no longer entangled with the little fire demons whose number has been reduced by one-third, but lay on the ground one by one, each spreading the insect wings on their backs.

From under the insect wings opened by these crypt lords, countless tiny mosquitoes flew up in a dark haze, making a buzzing sound and began to spread in all directions. This is the ultimate skill of heroes like the crypt lords - locust swarm.

Those flying mosquitoes are not real mosquitoes or locusts, but energy aggregates constructed by the crypt lords. Therefore, even in the Molten Fire Realm with blazing flames, these mosquitoes will not be incinerated.

When the Flame Demon Emperor saw this scene, he thought that those tiny insects were a powerful means of attack and would attack him together. But unlike what he thought, the locust swarm under the control of the crypt lords did not attack the Flame Demon Emperor.

The four crypt lords did not gather together, but occupied a corner of the Molten Fire Realm respectively. Those mosquitoes that flew out from their insect wings and spread outward soon touched the Molten Fire Realm's barrier.

In fact, the ultimate skill of the Crypt Lord, the Locust Swarm, can be barely considered a domain-type skill, but there is no definite barrier. The range of the locust swarm's activity and attack is centered on the Crypt Lord himself.

Although it is not a regular domain-type skill, it does not prevent the locust swarm from eroding the Molten Fire Realm. Those mosquitoes that attacked the energy barrier at the border of the Molten Fire Realm were not burned to ashes immediately, but began to bite the barrier fiercely.

Even though these slightly fragile mosquitoes would often turn to ashes after a bite, the mosquitoes flying out from the wings of the Crypt Lord seemed endless.

Soon, the Flame Demon Emperor felt that his domain, the Molten Fire Realm, became unstable and even began to shake slightly.
