Chapter 36 Finally Something Changed?
In the face of Arthas's suddenly outstretched hand, even in Adelan's non-stop "bombardment" with the Holy Light, it seemed very obvious and abrupt, and almost all the living who were watching the battle did not know what Arthas was going to do, but their instincts told them that it was obviously not a good thing.
At that moment, Sylvanas felt that the air in front of her had become cloudy and heavy, and even made it difficult for her to breathe, which made her heart beat wildly, and the instinctive warning urged her to act, but at the moment when she had just left, the Ranger General's body, which was so beautiful that most of the opposite sex would be intoxicated, was controlled by a sudden force, and quickly dragged in the direction of Arthas, a process that was so fast and irresistible that even she couldn't break free.
By this time, Arthas had lifted Frostmourn up and was ready to stab the ranger general who had been pulled by the Death Grip and annoyed him.
The Death Grasp is a good way for the Death Knight to deal with ranged units, but it often takes a certain distance, and Arthas, after realizing that he has been tricked by Edlan, decisively gives up his foolish pursuit of the Paladin, who has a horse but refuses to approach, and instead deals with the Ranger General, who has never seen this trick before.
Judging by the results we have gotten so far, it's very good.
After all, what a bad guy would do to choose a paladin with thick skin who can fight and resist as the target of the Death Grip?
So there was Arthas's pretense of chasing Edlan, in fact, he chose a good time and a good position to make a move, and now he did seize this opportunity to make a move, and he caught the big prey as soon as he made a move! But whether it was the other rangers who were close, or the other living people who were "watching the battle" next to them, they were not ordered by absolute order not to interfere.
So while Sylvanas's body was still flying sideways in mid-air, the ranger general had already used the life-saving technique "Deterrence" of the Hunter series, which is an action that focuses all attention and body reflexes on dodging, and can dodge 100% when facing opponents of the same level, and cross-level opponents can also dodge at least 70%!
This dodge can also include dodging most harmful spells! This is already the ranger's highest defense, although there is a time limit, but after using this technique, the ranger sacrifices all the means of attack in exchange for a remarkable defense...... Of course, it's a little worse than the unreasonable skill that the paladin can chase after the enemy and beat him after he turns on the holy shield technique.
At the moment, Sylvanas's state can be regarded as "one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting", Edlan is the first to react, he starts to protect the blessing and save the blessing, while Liadeline applies the Truth Word Shield and pain suppression to her best friend, and the other rangers who are close to use their accurate archery skills to start harassing and shooting.
One more thing to say here, the blessing of salvation in "reality" is not like in the "game" to reduce hatred, but also a skill to reduce damage, and its effect is comparable to the painful suppression of the priest of the precepts, so after considering the presence of Liadrin, a high-ranking priest (priest), Edlan decisively cast two paladin spells, and in terms of time, he only had time to release these two spells.
"Poof!boom—" A crisp thud, a thrust of Frostmourn's stabs, pierced through at least the four life-saving skills that Edlan and Liadline had teamed up!
Seeing that Frost Sorrow was about to stab the Ranger General in the chest, the deterrence had its due effect! At the moment when the Death Grip ended, the "free" Sylvanas almost avoided the thorn with a dazzling snake-like body flexibility, and at the same time kicked away violently after landing on both feet, Sylvanas's body flew upside down like a "Z", which made Arthas's ensuing wind blast explode a cloud of frozen gas like an ice blade spiral at her landing point!
At this time, the arrows of the rangers who were supporting their generals "ding-dong" hit Arthas's dark green shield, and Liadrin's recovery spell was added to Sylvanas just in case.
The second combo that was determined to be won was dodged by the nimble Ranger General, Arthas understood that the other party was doing some kind of extreme dodge technique, so Arthas was not annoyed, and when Edlan's holy light fell on his shield again, he had already noticed that his old friend seemed to be in a hurry, because this punishment did not hit the same rift as accurately as before, which gave him a new idea for a moment.
"Be careful!"
"Don't come here, I'll-"
Sylvanas heard Adlan's reminder, and she promptly dissuaded the rangers who wanted to come to her aid, but her screams seemed to be completely interrupted, as if a large invisible hand was grabbing her throat, cutting off her words, and not even giving her a chance to struggle to breathe!
Arthas very cleverly noticed the end of the Ranger General's extreme dodge technique, and he used the "Strangling" skill to control the Ranger General who used "Escape" to retreat in a wide range of places, which was only half the distance from her destination, and it was also less than 20 yards away from Arthas, as long as Arthas wanted, he could quickly come up and stab him with a sword at any time.
After all, the skills that paladins and priests can almost help others save their lives and the skills of the ranger general's own escape have been used up, and there are no more protection skills available in a short period of time, and Arthas is naturally aware of this, so he waited for a good opportunity again.
"Arthas-" Edlan's eyes were torn, he had made so much effort to preserve the combat power of some High Elves so that he could provide more strength for Azeroth, who would be plagued by disasters in the future, but now the merciless beatings of reality have ruined his plans twice or three times, although these plans were all caused by his own incompetence and led to their deaths, but it is undeniable that these failures have been accumulating pressure on Edlan, a traverser.
Edlan's psychology is so contradictory, he wants to live, and he also wants to change his fate, but when the grand and ethereal goal of the biggest goal wants to change his fate seems to be approached step by step with his own efforts, but it is ruthlessly destroyed by the so-called "historical inertia", which makes him very uncomfortable, and this discomfort cannot be shared with anyone, so he can only bear it silently by himself.
So Edlan's mentality may have been in trouble for a long time, but now, in front of him, Sylvanas once again broke out after falling into crisis because of Arthas's "strangulation" skill.
Powerless to prevent the slaughter of the inhabitants of Stannbrad, powerless to stop the outbreak and spread of the plague, powerless to stop the tragedy of Stratholme, powerless to prevent Arthas from picking up the Frost Grief, powerless to prevent the destruction of Lordaeron, powerless to prevent Uther from dying in battle, powerless to prevent the undead from invading Quel'Thalas, and now powerless to stop the fate of Sylvanas?
"Boom-" sound, it was not like a burst of light, it was like a thick lightning bolt of light falling from the sky, and it hit Edlan, who was holding the sword of the Brotherhood high!
This "lightning" is like a primer, it completely hooks out the holy energy in Edlan's body, or it completely bursts out!
The holy energy that erupted from Edlan at this moment was like a change in heaven and earth, dispersing the plague and poisonous gas brought by the army of the undead, and the thick poisonous mist clouds were washed away, bathing the Yongge Forest in this area in bright sunlight again.
The holy light that he felt on Uther was so huge that he felt suffocated for a moment, and Arthas felt it here again! But he was still unhurried to improve his "momentum", and the black aura lingered more and more thickly, and it looked particularly strange under the dark green protective shield.
"Oh, is this your new love? For the sake of this woman you can raise your strength to the level of Uther? I wonder how many hole cards you still have hidden, my friend?"
In the face of Arthas, who suddenly became chattering and yin and yang, Adlane did not speak, and he did not rush forward to fight Alsace after using the Vengeful Fury like Uther, but used the Holy Avenger again under the amplification of the Vengeful Fury! At this moment, he was like an actor possessed, and at this moment, no matter who he was, he would think that Edlan was a veritable embodiment of holy light! At this moment, Edlan didn't know how much his strength level had increased, he only felt that he was stronger than just now, not a little stronger, and he even felt that he could fight Arthas!
Heroic high-level, with the blessing of the two different amplification spells under the two punishments and divine specializations of Vengeful Fury and Holy Avenger, Edlan has reached the level of the heroic high level for the first time, and this level seems to be only a power level gap from the epic initial level, but crossing the gap of one level is not so easy to measure literally.
As strong as Uther, even if he opened the Fury of Vengeance, even if he could fight back and forth with the epic level guys, it was still the high-level level of this hero, and he almost stabbed Arthas with his incomparably rich skills and tactics, but as a result, through the connection of Frost Sorrow, after Neozu helped Arthas regain his strength, the exhausted Uther still lost with hatred.
But there are some things that must be done, so with Uther's position, he has an unshirkable duty, and he must stand up, and in spite of his defeat, in the end he will die a heroic and honorable death......
It's just that now, Adlane doesn't want to learn from Uther, so after he gets Naru's "plug-in" and his spell damage becomes stronger, he knows his position very well, and he will never go head-to-head with Arthas, and must use reasonable tactics to contain and delay, in order to achieve the complete withdrawal of the villagers of Sunny Wind Village, and then save Sylvanas!
Right now, the scope of influence of the holy light representing the light is skyrocketing, and the range of influence representing the death of the shadow is also skyrocketing, and the bearers of the two energies of light and darkness have not yet approached, and the collision between the energies has already begun, and this collision is undoubtedly a kind of torture for the people around who are not strong enough, and the pure competition and collision between the energies alone will blow most people or the undead away.
When the living got up, they saw the most unforgettable scene in their lives-
Fifteen Springs of Light were three times the size of the original ones hanging upside down in the sky, which were the "new" products of Adelan's combination of his own skillful skills and rich imagination, and the huge holy light spell that Adelan himself composed of them was called the Fountain of Light Circle.
The radiance of the Fountain of Light was almost like a small sun forming above Arthas's head, and the living and the dead alike, no one could look directly at this sacred spell that had never been seen before.
And just as the Fountain of Light circle was compiling a lightning-like energy network, on the ground, Arthas also burst out from the dignified black qi with dark green things like ghostly claws, attacking Edlan's direction, but without exception, all of them were blocked and dissolved by his thick and incomparably brilliant holy light.
Arthas looked solemnly at the circle of holy light above his head that was moving with him, which gave him a little foreboding, and even Frost Sorrow and Naozu were reminding him to ignore this and quickly deal with the caster.
Arthas naturally understood this, so after the first round of group death entanglement was thrown at Edlan to no avail, he was about to approach the opponent while he was unable to move quickly while he was channeling the spell, but soon he couldn't move, because he had to stop and use the power he now had to maintain his shield.
Having lost her control of the "Strangling" spell, Sylvanas was once again free, and she learned her previous lesson and began to quickly retreat with her "S" move, knowing what was going to happen with her strength.
The holy light hanging above Arthas's head finally moved, it was like crazy thunder and lightning, almost covering Arthas's entire person, and it fell suddenly in this range, mixed with a deafening roar, and the shining light almost blinded people's eyes, and the undead could even see the feeling that seemed to burn their eyes!
The dirt on the ground, which was still intact and unshrouded in death, was flipped in all directions under the aftermath of the bombardment of the whip of holy light, and the trees not far away were knocked to the ground, and the flowers and plants beside them had long been cut off like thirsty salted fish, and the ground was uprooted or completely burned!
As far as the eye can see, this area is full of "thunder and lightning" dancing with golden light, this area is full of burning fire and thick black smoke, those originally dead "corpses" were completely turned into ashes and returned to dust under such a frenzied bombardment! Edlan's magic change on the basis of the original spell seems to have changed the nature of the holy light. Because even if the user uses the aggressive energy of the Light, there will be no such violent performance, the Light represents order and gentleness, even if it hurts the enemy, it will not be so merciful, uncaring and ruthless.
But now, the inherent impression of the Holy Light in the eyes of the world has been completely subverted, if it were not for this golden appearance, if it were not for this thick Holy Energy fluttering, the people present would still think that this is a powerful shaman summoning the wind elemental to bombard it with endless thunderclouds.
For a moment, it seemed that the sight of the end of the world was approaching for the living, but at the same time, because the thunder and lightning intertwined with the countless golden flashes of holy light made the undead who dared to approach that area completely "purified", so their mood was a little complicated, but it was more like watching a kind of high gods use their creation power to carry out tasks that mortals could not even imagine.
The continuous golden "thunder and lightning" beams hit the "wall" woven by the death energy straight, bursts of explosions roared, the flashing of holy light, the brilliance of the explosion, for a while the entire sky seemed to be completely torn apart, this kind of mythical and legendary scene made all the living subconsciously tremble, whether it was the living or the dead, at this moment the actions of the two sides of the battle had a few seconds of stop......
In just ten seconds, the unforgettable blast of holy energy made all the living people present remember this overly young human paladin, and among them, the priests of Salas led by Liadline were the most excited, and they were even following Edlan's every move with fanatical eyes, because he was of the same origin as the holy light they used, and they were now like a new door opened, eager to detonate the extremely aggressive energy of the holy light like this human being, and completely destroy the scum who desecrated the peace of the dead!
This short ten-second bombardment seemed to everyone as if hours had passed, including Adelan himself, he used this spell for the first time, he didn't expect such a big battle, he didn't know that it was because his own mind didn't keep up with his body that had been "unsealed", so he felt strange and temporarily uncomfortable.
The sound of the explosion in place gradually stopped, and the fifteen fountains of light in the sky also dimmed and disappeared one by one, and on the ground, where Arthas stood, with him as the center, the land within 50 yards was almost swept away by the huge and violent holy light energy, and it was "plowed" again, leaving ugly and fierce traces.
The collision of gold and black produced countless clouds of smoke, and no one could know what happened to the powerful Death Knight behind the smoke and dust, who almost everyone identified as the "Great Devil".
People will always hope that the ending will go in their favor, and they will also want to see a happy ending to the "story", but the reality often does not fulfill people's wishes, it is also not a fairy tale, if it is, then it is just an adult fairy tale full of black humor.
Arthas slowly walked out of the smoke, the dark green shield protecting him was already in a state of "missing arms and legs", and it looked extremely dull, and the original brand new armor on his body also showed a lot of scorch marks, which was incredible for the Death Knight who skillfully used frost energy, and the most incredible thing was that Adelan keenly noticed that half of Arthas's face had collapsed!
According to Vanessa's information, this is exactly half of his face smashed by Uther at that time, if this is really an ordinary living person, I am afraid that such an injury will directly kill a person. But with the protection of Frost Sorrow and the protection of Naozu, Arthas was able to spur his horse out of the smoke with steady steps, even though he was wounded as if he had half his head cut off.
"Oh, I'm wounded again, Uther wounded me, he's dead, so useless. So I've decided, Adlan, that I'll throw your body into Anaheim for a wonderful death parade, and I think your concubine will be happy to see that!" Arthas gritted his teeth as if enraged, and then he waved his hand, "Come on, my warriors, and bring death to every corner of this world!"
With Arthas's order, the army of the undead is no longer "playing" and "cooperating" with the defenders of the High Elves in battle, but rushing up in one go!
Skeletons, Zombies, Undead Casterers, Dark Rangers, Ghouls, Crypt Demons, Death Knights, Abominations, Meat Grinders, Gargoyles...... Undead units that didn't know what to call and Edlan poured in!
This is only the first echelon of hundreds of thousands, and behind them, the undead from Stratholme, from Andorhar, and from the Tirisfal Woodlands, after receiving the orders of their masters, are ignoring the terrain and using their bodies as bridges to cross the blocked river at multiple points, and rush towards Quel'Salas together......
P.S1 said: Every night even the pve server has to line up 5, 6000 people, it's really painful, although queuing is also a part of the feelings, don't play if you are not happy...... But this kind of waiting is really difficult, and once it is disconnected, it will return to the pre-liberation period......
P.S2: It's hard to imagine how long this kind of popularity can last, maybe the server will be better off when the anti-(harmonious) human designs become more and more acceptable to new players, right?
