Volume 9: Disaster Chapter 582 You shall not be passed!
Archimonde strode towards the top of Mount Hyjal. The ancient forest turned to ashes under his feet. The corpses of the coalition soldiers covered the mountain ridges. Behind him came the screams and roars of adventurers and demons. Countless defeated coalition soldiers fled all over the mountains. Countless adventurers launched a counterattack again under the hero's call and fought with the demon army...
But Archimonde didn't care.
The war with mortals is no longer interesting, and the pleasure of crushing these ants has become dull. It is time to seize the fruits of victory.
He has only one goal in mind, and that is the World Tree on the top of Mount Hyjal and the Well of Eternity hidden beneath the World Tree.
The energy fluctuations emanating from the powerful force of the Well of Eternity are calling him. Soon, he will obtain this power. Once he obtains this power, he will become stronger than ever before, perhaps even more powerful than Sargeras!
Archimonde thought to himself that the number of demons around him was decreasing, and they were constantly being held back by adventurers and coalition soldiers ambushed on both sides.
Even though the coalition forces suffered such heavy casualties, they still fought to the death. The human lords and orc chieftains continued to reorganize the defeated soldiers. The night elf sentinel generals vowed to defend this holy mountain to the death. They led the awakened legion of awakeners and once again joined the battle.
The demon lords under Archimonde had to stop to fight the increasing number of enemies, but Archimonde did not stop.
He glanced at the mortals and demons fighting each other.
"Humph, these ignorant mortals, blindly rushing towards their own death and destruction, meaningless actions..."
He watched a group of adventurers and demons fighting each other, but did not take any action.
These fearless adventurers are simply impossible to kill. No matter how many are crushed, new ones will soon appear in front of you.
It made him feel a little numb, and he wondered where all these enemies came from?
It doesn’t matter. As long as we obtain the power of the Well of Eternity, the futile resistance of these ant-like lives will be meaningless.
He thought to himself as he strode towards the top of the mountain.
Although the soldiers and adventurers of the coalition forces were brave, they immediately retreated as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Archimonde approaching. They did not dare to fight against this god-like enemy, and instead attacked the men behind Archimonde.
Boom! Another ancient door opened in front of him. After passing through the door, the enemy finally disappeared.
Before my eyes was an endless empty forest, and at the end of the forest was the last gate. Behind the gate was the World Tree, towering into the clouds - we were almost there.
Archimonde quickened his pace in excitement, but because he moved so fast, none of the demon servants behind him could catch up with him, and they were all stopped by the coalition forces.
But Archimonde still didn't care, it was enough for him to handle it himself.
He looked around vigilantly. This was the last barrier leading to the Well of Eternity, and those mortals would definitely gather their last resistance here.
However, to his surprise, there was nothing in front of him. It was not until he approached the gate and reached the open space in the middle of the forest that he finally met an opponent. It was an old wizard who blocked his way.
Hmm? A human? Archimonde was a little surprised that he was not a night elf. The old wizard was wearing a gray robe, a big pointed hat on his head, holding a staff in one hand and a sword in the other. His strange appearance aroused Archimonde's interest.
Archimonde (Commander of the Burning Legion): "You are very brave, little mortal, and you dare to follow Archimonde's footsteps. For your pitiful courage, if you surrender to me now, I will consider leaving a place for you in the Burning Legion. When I rule this world in the future, you will become a demon lord."
Archimonde still has some strategy, and he will still throw out some temptations when it is time to do so.
But the old man didn't buy it at all.
Furious Gandalf (Battle Mage): "Shut up, demon, you can't pass me, you can't seduce me, the power of justice will prevail, go back to the darkness - you shall not be passed!"
"Humph, if that's the case, then go die!"
Finger of death!
A beam of red energy shot towards the mortal in front of him.
Gandalf raised his staff without hesitation.
Hero Skill——Ultimate Arcane Shield!
As a melee mage, the skill points added are naturally completely different from those of ordinary mages. In order to ensure survivability in close combat, the first hero skill point of the violent Gandalf is magic shield.
[Ultimate Arcane Shield: Can absorb 4955 points of damage. When the damage taken is too high to be fully absorbed, the shield will explode and offset the damage.]
Boom! The Finger of Death was forcibly resisted, and the arcane shield was shattered.
"Hahaha, see, I'm not afraid of you! You slave of Sargeras."
"Mortal, you make me angry."
Archimonde did not take the wizard in front of him seriously. He thought that even if a tiny mortal could withstand his attack, what would it matter? He raised his huge hoof and stomped on Gandalf's head.
Furious, Gandalf immediately raised his staff.
(Humph, let's see what ridiculous magic you can perform)
Hero skill——Extreme Flash!
A brilliant white light suddenly burst out. Extreme Flash actually has no lethality. The only effect of the spell is blinding. It is occasionally used to break invisibility. It was obtained by the violent Gandalf upgrading Flash to a heroic skill.
Normal people would hardly waste the Hero's Soul on such rubbish skills, but the violent Gandalf did not follow the usual path. In order to cosplay Gandalf, he even added skills according to Gandalf's skill types.
When used at this time, it actually had miraculous effects.
The brilliant white light blocked them together.
Damn it! Archimonde covered his eyes and roared.
"Now!"
Everyone in the surrounding forest appeared at the same time, and Cenarius threw Grom Hellscream out with all his strength - Fearless Slash!
With the help of the throwing force, Grom flew towards Archimonde like a cannonball, holding the Ashbringer high in his hand, and his target was exactly the heart in Archimonde's chest.
This is the tactic that the heroes came up with after much thought. It is almost impossible to kill Archimonde, a guy with more than 8 million health points, through normal means. Not only does Archimonde have an absurdly high health point, he also has holy armor. Ordinary physical attacks and magic attacks can only deal 1% damage. There is no way to kill him by exhausting him.
The only chance is to kill him.
Although there were many heroes present, there were only two or three who could truly threaten Archimonde.
Grom is undoubtedly one of the best candidates. He has jumped and slashed Mannoroth and Cenarius before, so he is very familiar with killing people at higher levels.
The best tactic is undoubtedly to use the extreme flash of Furious Gandalf to block the vision and take the opportunity to kill.
The only problem is that Archimonde is too tall, and the Fearless Slasher can't jump that high, so he can't repair his feet.
Fortunately, with the demigod Cenarius, this plan was realized with the help of Cenarius's throwing.
Seeing Grom flying towards Archimonde's chest, everyone was suddenly nervous.
However, Archimonde is not so easy to kill. Having led the Burning Legion in battle for more than 10,000 years, he has extremely rich combat experience.
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, his strong intuition still made him feel a strong threat.
Fel energy shock!
The power of evil energy turned into a shock wave and spread in all directions.
Grom was unable to dodge in mid-air and was hit by the huge energy and was blown back.
With a series of crackling sounds, more than a dozen tree trunks were broken and finally fell to the ground.
"Plan A failed, start Plan B!"
The heroes who were lying in ambush around rushed out together.
"Hahaha, mortals, is this your plan? Such sinister and despicable means are meaningless in the face of absolute power."
Archimonde, who had regained his sight, roared, and the power of fel energy gathered in his body. Everyone looked at Archimonde with solemn expressions. He might not be the biggest boss in size, but he was undoubtedly the strongest.
But it has come to this point. Even if you know you will die, you must give it a try.
"Mark of Death!" Jian Wuhen was the first to take action and directly marked a skull mark on Archimonde's head.
Then he disappeared without hesitation. The reason why he stayed to fight was not because he was fearless, but to be able to pick up corpses with a legitimate reason. So many heroes were fighting with Archimonde, and everyone was wearing top-level equipment. If they died, the equipment on the corpses would naturally have no owner. At that time, he could pick up any two and it would be a good thing for him. He was good at hiding, so he could do this.
Of course, you still have to take action, and you have to show your appreciation at least.
Emperor Shenwu (King of Centaurs): "Mother Earth, I pray for your help. Mother Earth, I call upon your power. In the name of the Mother Earth, bring your boundless might to the enemy before me."
Extremely effective gravity barrier!
Archimonde immediately felt his body become ten times heavier.
But for Archimonde, no matter how heavy it was, it didn't matter. At most, it would only slow down his movements, but it couldn't crush him.
Humph, is that all you can do?
Cenarius (Guardian of the Forest): "Forces of nature, Cenarius calls upon you! Creatures of evil, face the wrath of nature!"
Plague of thorns!
Countless vines as thick as buckets grew out from the ground, climbing wildly along Archimonde's ankles and entangling his legs and feet.
Morgan Lisa also took action.
Eternal icy fog surrounded Archimonde, constantly freezing his body.
Archimonde quickly released fel flames, burning the vines and icy mist on his body.
At this moment, in a hidden corner, Tyrande had already drawn her longbow. She was the killer of Plan B.
To break Holy Armor, either true damage, chaos damage, or soul damage is required.
In addition, artifacts can also cause effective damage to it. In addition to Grom, Tyrande also has an artifact in her hand - the Bow of Elune.
Tyrande drew her bow at Archimonde, but there was no arrow on the bowstring.
She murmured to herself, "Elune, grant me your power and turn the holy moonlight into a deadly arrow!"
The phantom of a bright moon appeared in the sky.
The moonlight condensed on her bowstring and turned into a pure white arrow emitting bright moonlight.
Divine skill——Arrow of the Moon Goddess!
Swoosh! The arrow flew towards Archimonde's face like a meteor.
Archimonde sensed the white light coming at him, but was unable to dodge it, so he quickly raised his hands to block it.
Puff! The arrow shot straight through the palm of the hand and penetrated the back of the hand.
-19785!
Archimonde couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
“Ah ...
A violent evil fire suddenly ignited on his body, and those tough vines were instantly burned to ashes.
"You insignificant mortals, your efforts are meaningless."
He crushed the Moon Goddess's Arrow with great force, and the eternal ice mist around him quickly dissipated under the burning of the evil fire.
"Your power is ridiculous! Even your pitiful gods can't save you from my wrath!"
He stomped his foot on the ground, and the violent impact and the magic power released by that kick directly broke the gravity barrier.
"Because you are facing me - Archimonde the Defiler, the dark lord who is destined to destroy your world."
Evil fire storm!
Archimonde waved his hand casually, and the flames of fel energy spread wildly along the ground.
Everyone had to retreat and avoid it.
The evil flames seemed to be alive and chased after him madly.
Malfurion waved his staff, summoning a hurricane to block the flames.
Others also took action.
Rhonin released an arcane meteor, and the only mage sent a meteor storm to blast Archimonde first.
-33!
-7! -8! -12! -5! -11!
The pitiful damage numbers made the only magician dumbfounded. Although Ronin was not a player, he also noticed that the magic bombarded Archimonde but could not even break his skin.
A hail of arrows!
Swish, swish, swish! Golden arrows rained down like raindrops. It was Kaya Windrunner who was attacking like crazy. Unfortunately, when it hit Archimonde, it could only deal single-digit damage. All ranged classes were firing like crazy. Magic and arrows rained down on Archimonde like raindrops.
The power of the holy armor was finally demonstrated intuitively at this time.
"You wantonly play with power that doesn't belong to you, and you actually use that ridiculous magic against me?"
Archimonde waved his hand, and a sky full of chaos fireballs bombarded everyone.
Everyone dodged in a hurry, but some people were still accidentally hit by the fireball. Those with more blood or with shields could still withstand one or two hits, but those with less blood were killed instantly, especially those players who were not heroes. Basically, they would be killed if hit by one.
"No! Archimonde is too powerful. We can't hurt him at all."
"Old Hou, hurry up and get up, we are waiting for you to kill us."
“Whoever has a hidden trick, use it quickly——ah”
Finger of death!
A red light instantly killed an orc hero. Archimonde laughed at the hastily rushing enemies.
"Hahaha, ants, you can feel the power of Archimonde!"
Hellscream crawled out from the broken tree trunk and looked at the rampant and terrifying demon with a serious face. Even someone as fearless as Hellscream felt helpless at this moment.
"I must get close to him to have a chance. I must make him stop!"
Cenarius took a deep breath, "I'll do it. Prepare the orcs. You only have one chance."
"Nature, lend me your power, for Azeroth!"
The surrounding trees withered one after another, and countless green spots of light floated out from the forest and gathered towards Cenarius' body. It was nature responding to Cenarius' call and sharing the natural source of power, but the price was the destruction and death of countless forests.
Countless natural forces poured into Cenarius' body, and his body grew wildly. In the blink of an eye, he had grown to a height of seventy or eighty meters, almost the same size as Archimonde, and his whole body was filled with green natural energy.
Seeing the huge half-man, half-deer appear, Archimonde burst into laughter.
"Haha, Cenarius, you finally showed up. Finally, there is a decent enemy. Your father died in my hands. Now let me see if you are as fragile as your father, or if you can hold on a little longer."
"Die, devil!"
Cenarius roared and rushed forward.
At their level, ordinary spells are meaningless. He threw a punch, but was easily caught by Archimonde.
"Is this what you call a demigod? Ten thousand years have passed, and your power has not improved at all."
"The power I possess is beyond your comprehension!" Cenarius charged forward, and a pair of antlers pierced Archimonde's skin, but Archimonde immediately grabbed Cenarius's antlers with his hands, twisted them hard, and knocked Cenarius to the ground with a grapple.
Although they are of similar size, there is still an obvious difference in strength.
"What are you waiting for? If you have any powerful moves, use them now!"
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of demon blood potion and drank it, and the power of evil energy surged through his body.
Legendary magic-evil energy killing wave!
Boom! -5734!
He learned this move from Gul'dan's corpse when he participated in the killing of Gul'dan, and now it finally showed its power.
Although its power is much weaker than Gul'dan, it is chaos damage after all, and can cause effective damage.
The Shenwu Emperor also launched an all-out charge at this time.
All the acceleration buffs on his body were fully activated, and finally he made a fearless charge, and his speed increased to supersonic speed in an instant.
He turned into a shadow and instantly arrived at Archimonde's feet.
Phew!
Holding a spear, piercing the foot.
-1172!
Using physical attacks to deal over a thousand damages...
The Greenskin King and the leader also drank the Demon's Blood potion, which gave them a certain amount of chaos damage, and they waved their weapons and performed pedicures frantically.
However, these attacks were merely distractions. Archimonde didn't care. He endured the pain and pinned Cenarius to the ground, one punch, two punches, two punches!
Every punch unleashed fel fire, and Cenarius's huge body continued to shrink under the crazy blows.
Hellscream, however, climbed up the trunk of a giant tree, charged at Archimonde, who was swinging his fist, and leaped out...
