Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 282: Destined Death
Generally speaking, during a boss battle, a hero cannot defeat a boss of the same tier in a one-on-one duel, unless he is a tycoon like Sword of the Dawn with a legendary special attack weapon, or an official plot killer like Hellscream.
In the final analysis, a hero can kill a BOSS by either consuming its enemies or by brute force. The chances of killing the BOSS can also be gained by taking a gamble based on the hero's specialties.
But in a war of attrition, a boss with ten times more health than a hero can completely defeat him.
The only way for the hero to win the war of attrition is with the cooperation of the great adventurer.
Therefore, the combination of heroes and adventurers is also quite particular, and must satisfy the professional positioning of the iron triangle. If the hero leading the team is a warrior type, then more treatment should be provided while taking into account output.
If the hero leading the team is a magician, you should add more tanks and meat shields.
As for auxiliary heroes, very few of them initiate crusades alone.
The Durotan in front of us is obviously a hero who is mainly a warrior with some hunter abilities. His killing ability is very average, and his tankiness is quite high, but his output is disappointing.
So his weakness is - Murphy's eyes suddenly looked at the adventurers and orc soldiers around him. He must kill the healer (adventurer) first, then kill the output (soldiers), and finally get rid of Durotan.
Without treatment, blood transfusion would kill him.
Thinking of this, Murphy let out a terrifying roar at Durotan who was rushing towards him. Just when Durotan thought that the other party was going to attack him, Murphy flapped his wings and suddenly took off into the air.
Murphy didn't fly too high, only about twenty or thirty meters high, almost gliding close to the ground, while exhaling a breath of thunder.
This move is called "horizontal bombing" and is a common move used by dragons when licking the ground. It is usually used against teams whose anti-aircraft firepower is not very strong, and can maximize the power of dragon breath.
At this moment, the enemy in front of them had no decent anti-aircraft forces, and the orcs' long-range troops were somewhat weak.
The dragon thunder swept across the ground like a long red whip. Since the pre-swing movement was too obvious, Durotan dodged this wave of attacks without difficulty.
But the adventurers behind him were in trouble. A breath of thunder swept past, and twenty or thirty of them died instantly. More than a dozen orc soldiers also died. These adventurers were generally only level 20, or even only level 10. Level 30 was already a master.
In front of Murphy's 50% enhanced thunder breath, anyone who was touched would almost die.
As soon as Murphy landed, he immediately turned and flew up, launching the "horizontal bombing" again.
After two or three rounds, countless adventurers were killed or wounded, and Durotan was chasing closely behind but could not catch up.
"Fuck, this boss is going to kill us all, let's run."
"Why are you running? Come on, let's kill him!"
"Orc warriors, come on!"
The adventurers were in chaos. Some chose to run away, some started air attacks, and some desperately called for help from the NPC soldiers.
Murphy finished a horizontal bombing and was about to continue, but Durotan riding on the white wolf finally stopped him.
Durotan (Frostwolf Chieftain): "Face me, you damned dragon!"
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Haha, don't worry Durotan, death will befall you soon. It is your destined death, but before that, please let me get rid of these annoying flies. After all, our epic duel should not be disturbed by those annoying bastards.
Now, let me lay the groundwork for our final showdown—Dragon Thunder Storm!"
Murphy roared and spread his wings, preparing to release his ultimate move, but what he used was - Ancient Dragon Lightning.
This move is a single-target lightning attack, but the start looks quite similar to Dragon Thunder Storm.
The purpose is to deceive the other party's big control.
According to Murphy's inference, the cooldown time of Durotan's net-casting skill should be quite long. In order to avoid having the spell interrupted, it is better to trick it out first.
Durotan was indeed hit, and he swung out the net.
Extremely effective trapping technique!
A seemingly insignificant casting net flew towards Murphy.
This thing doesn't look big, but once it lands on the body, it can catch anyone no matter how big the body is. It's indeed a bit of a bug. Fortunately, he had been prepared for it. He interrupted the spell, flexibly turned sideways, and actually dodged the move.
Durotan's face suddenly turned dark. The other party actually used bluffing to trick him.
The next second—Dragon Thunder Storm!
This time, Murphy really used his ultimate move.
Dark clouds covered the sky and thunderclouds rolled in.
Boom boom boom boom!
Red lightning fell madly, and the sky and the earth were dark, as if it was the end of the world. No matter whether they were adventurers or orc soldiers, they were all blown into pieces. In the blink of an eye , corpses were everywhere. The adventurers, who had already suffered heavy casualties, collapsed completely. Some died and some fled. Only Durotan was still standing in front of him.
He was also hit by several dragon thunders, but they were all blocked by the battle axe in his hand. At this time, as the number of lightning strikes increased, the axe blade also flashed a red light of the same color as the dragon thunder.
Durotan (Frostwolf Chieftain): "Face me! Dragon!"
Aidan Deron (Storm Dragon King): "Hahahaha! As you wish - Durotan, prepare to meet your fate, attack me, use all your strength, blindly rush towards your death, that is the end you cannot escape!"
At this moment, Murphy was very confident that he could complete the kill. Those troublesome soldiers had just been cleared away, and the nearest resources were hundreds of meters away. There would be no interference for at least a few minutes, which was enough time for him to complete the kill.
The previous announcement of King Llane’s death touched him, because in the original plot, King Llane died in Stormwind City, but he was assassinated by Garona.
Therefore, King Llane's death in Stormwind seemed unexpected, but also reasonable. It seems that the power of destiny may really exist.
The impact that the system has on the game will allow history to self-correct to a certain extent.
Then it would probably be relatively easier to kill Durotan, a guy who should have died in history.
This time he did not use dragon thunder, but rushed forward directly. If he wanted to kill, the best way was still hand-to-hand combat.
Durotan was equally unwilling to be outdone and charged forward riding on his wolf.
"roar!"
"kill!"
One man and one dragon, pounced on each other at the same time.
The dragon opened its huge mouth and the wolf rider swung his huge axe, as if he wanted to die together with the dragon.
However, just as the dragon was about to bite Durotan and Durotan's battle axe was about to chop into the dragon's mouth, something strange happened.
Oxen's Fury! The battle axe in Durotan's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red lightning, as if a dozen dragon lightnings merged into one, red as blood.
Thundercloud incarnation! The dragon also transformed into a red thundercloud storm at almost the same time.
The blood-red dragon thunder struck the thundercloud incarnation, and suddenly a big word "immune" appeared.
What!? Durotan was shocked. His long-planned attack had missed again.
Murphy is not stupid. There is definitely something strange about the weapon in Durotan's hand. It has absorbed so much thunder power, and its color is getting brighter and brighter. There must be some kind of charged move. Energy will not disappear out of thin air. It will only be released in another way. Murphy speculates that once the energy is charged to a certain level, the axe should be able to add this energy to the attack and activate weapon special effects.
As for when to release it - of course, when the opponent thinks that a life-and-death fight is about to begin.
The thundercloud incarnation form is immune to lightning damage, which is safer than any point of resistance.
Durotan's axe hit the air, and the next second he was caught by the dragon's claws.
"Let me go you monster!"
Durotan swung the battle axe in his hand, but only hit the dragon-shaped phantom in the storm, -167!
A red word popped up. It turned out that in the thundercloud storm form, physical attacks could cause damage, but only half of the damage under normal circumstances.
Durotan desperately attacked the phantom of the dragon in the storm.
-198! -254! -231! Red damage numbers kept popping up.
At the same time, electric current continued to flow through his body.
-76! -58! -92!
Red numbers kept popping up above Durotan's head. This thundercloud incarnation would automatically cause electric damage to surrounding enemies. Unfortunately, the damage was only modest, and it was better than nothing.
Durotan had no concept of health points, but he also knew that he could not fight a giant dragon to the death. He tried desperately to break free from the dragon claws. In fact, it was not difficult. The dragon claws seemed to be made of strong winds and had no real entity.
But as soon as he broke free from one claw, he was grabbed by another claw and pulled directly in.
All of a sudden Durotan found himself surrounded by thunderclouds and storms. His feet were off the ground. The roar of the dragon could be heard from all directions, echoing in the strong wind. It was dark all around and he could not see anything.
Aidandelon's Avatar of Thunder (Wind Elemental): "Durotan... your time has come... meet your... destined death..."
Durotan was spinning in the storm, his heart filled with anger and fear. What time was coming? What was the destined death? Why did this evil dragon always say something incomprehensible?
But for some reason, these words made him shudder, as if they foreshadowed something ominous.
No! Never! Durotan suddenly became fierce.
The power of the Barbarian King!
Durotan's muscles suddenly expanded, and his strength, agility and physique were all improved.
Primal rage!
His eyes instantly turned red, and his whole body was wrapped in a red aura, increasing physical damage by 50% and the chance of a critical hit by 10%.
Gift from ancestors!
The brain suddenly becomes clear - the next attack's hit rate increases by 100%.
He aimed at the dragon-shaped phantom in the storm again and was about to deliver a fatal blow. Suddenly, the surrounding storm disappeared. Durotan felt his eyes brighten and suddenly found himself floating thousands of meters in the sky.
Not far away, the storm dragon was grinning at him.
