Chapter 448: The Battle with the Lich
It's just that although Illidan didn't mean to continue to kill the lich after killing Duke Dracula, and was ready to put things aside for the time being to contact the undead, the lich didn't think so.
When Illidan slashed Duke Dracula into three pieces, the Lich blessed himself with Frost Armor. Immediately after that, without seeing him make any moves, an icy aura suddenly appeared again where Illidan was—the lich had once again activated the Frost Nova.
Illidan was also a little speechless about the lich's actions. Can't this guy see his own strength? Or is it that his level 18 hero doesn't have the slightest deterrent power against this level 6 lich at most?
Frost Nova applied to Illidan this time, and it didn't have the same effect as before. Illidan used the form of the Flame Demon before, and in the environment of Ice Purgatory, he was attacked by the restraint attribute of Frost Nova, so he was a little vulnerable. But after returning to the Demon Hunter's main body and taking precautions again, Illidan was still able to dodge even if the Frost Nova cast was sudden.
But the past flashed and the past passed, and Illidan was still very unhappy about the lich's ignorance. Therefore, he was not polite, and dashed forward, and the blade in his hand directly cut through the frost armor that swirled around the lich.
Not surprisingly, the frost armor that the Lich had applied to Duke Dracula had had no effect, and it still was. After breaking through the frost armor and slicing across the lich's illusory body, Illidan retreated.
In his mind, it would be nice to teach the lich a lesson. After all, according to the Father's intentions, this visit was mainly for friendly exchanges—although Illidan himself had an inexplicable dislike for the undead.
Illidan was thinking. It stands to reason that a normal person finds that he has no way to deal with the enemy, whether it is an offensive or defensive means. After discovering that the enemy did not mean to kill him. Definitely will give up the fight and start talking.
But are lichs normal? Apparently not. The Lich didn't feel the kindness of Illidan just breaking through his frost armor and injuring himself, rather than killing him outright. On the contrary, after Illidan retreated, the lich began to perform a powerful move.
After retreating to Duke Dracula's corpse after withdrawing, Illidan opened his mouth to start a conversation with the lich. But before he could speak, he was shocked to find out. There was suddenly a lot of purple-black light around him.
These purple-black lights are like butterflies flapping their wings, flickering, and they look even gorgeous. It's just that under this beautiful scene, there is endless killing power.
Within the purple-black light, Illidan felt his life force draining rapidly. Even when fighting against the Great Demon King, his health didn't drop so quickly - after all, he was wearing hero-exclusive equipment, which had bonuses to both attack and defense of demon units.
How is this possible? Illidan couldn't believe it. He could feel that the lich was at most a legendary level, but the skill it cast could cause great damage to a hero at the peak of his epic level, which was simply unscientific and magical!
Illidan was puzzled though. But this did not prevent him from quickly withdrawing from the purple-black light. He could feel that this skill was not like some of Eslaze's spells. Has the ability to track enemies.
Sure enough, after exiting the purple-black light-covered area, Illidan no longer felt the sharp loss of his life force.
When Yu Fei saw the purple-black light appear, he recognized that it was the lich's ultimate skill, Death Wither. Although Illidan's vitality has lost sharply, although Yu Fei can't empathize, from the drop of his health on the attribute panel, Yu Fei can also guess Illidan's fear.
It stands to reason that the average Legendary level cannot pose a threat to the Epic level, but first of all, the heroes in Warcraft are different from the ordinary powerhouses of this other world. Not to mention, when Illidan himself was at the sixth level, he was able to contend with epic humans by using demon transformations.
And among the various skills, this death withering is a special existence. Unlike other skills, Death Wither not only has a domineering name, but also a powerful effect.
Withering: The Lich summons the deepest amount of Death, draining the health of all units and buildings within a radius at a rate of 4% per second, ignoring magic immunity.
It is precisely because of the percentage damage caused by Death Wither that Illidan feels a sharp loss of life force. Even if he was a full order above the Lich, if he remained in the Withering Range's coverage for more than 30 seconds, he would be killed directly - the reason why it was not exactly 25 seconds was due to Illidan's fast health recovery.
However, dealing with Withering is also very simple, just get out of its range. In addition, some abilities that inflict stun and silence can also interrupt Deathfall, as this is a skill that requires constant guidance from the caster. Therefore, this ultimate ability of the Lich is usually used to destroy buildings.
Right now, for example, it would be a very unwise move for the lich to cast Death Wither on Illidan alone. In just a second, Illidan quickly left the range of this terrifying skill, taking only four percent of his health.
And the lich's rigid fighting style and the appearance of being unable to communicate, acting in a stiff and unintelligent way also gave rise to great doubts in Yu Fei's heart.
Anyway, this lich is also a hero? Hero units are born with high-level intelligence, how can they look like they lack wisdom?
The lich in front of Illidan before was rather dull when he received Duke Dracula, but Yu Fei didn't pay much attention to it, and attributed it to the fact that the undead themselves were not very good at dealing with people.
However, as it seems now, this is obviously a lich of a heroic unit, but it is not just not good at dealing with people. As things stand, this lich's intelligence is not even as good as that of an elite Night Elf class.
For this strange situation, Yu Fei was puzzled. However, Illidan didn't know what Yu Fei was thinking, and under the continuous attack of the lich, the hunter who had already hunted thousands of demons was finally angry.
A green beam of light suddenly appeared, shooting at the lich's body. Although this mana burning did not have any effects such as silence, and did not interrupt the lich's death and withering, it also made it tremble and look a little painful.
But the lich, though dull, is not a complete fool. Seeing that Illidan left the range of Death Wither very quickly, it took the initiative to interrupt Death Wither, and blessed itself with frost armor again.
It was only when he wanted to cast Frost Nova again to limit Illidan that he realized that his mana was running low.
Also, in a matter of moments, the Lich has cast two Frost Novas, three Frost Armors, and one Ultimate Death Wither. Coupled with the fact that Illidan's mana burn will remove a portion of the enemy's mana and deal the same amount of damage, even the lich mana belonging to the French hero will be consumed.
For other French heroes, after the mana is depleted, only the means of basic attack output remain. Perhaps the elite-level Blood Elf Witch can solve this problem by using the active effect of the Mana Source, but the Undead obviously do not have the Blood Elf Witch.
However, although there are no Blood Elf Witches, and there are no Ten Victory Stone statues that can restore health and mana in the undead classes, the Lich is not worried about the lack of mana.
I saw him point with one hand at a skeleton warrior not far away, and many cracks quickly appeared on the skeleton warrior's body. Looking at it like that, although the skeleton will not collapse directly, it is also trembling and on the verge of falling apart.
At the same time, a blue light suddenly erupted from the lich's body, and then it unleashed a frost nova towards Illidan as it was walking towards it. (To be continued......)
