Chapter 547 I Want to Be a Hero Too
When we were little, boys liked to swing wooden sticks like swords, fantasizing about flying, fighting crime, being handsome and rich...
As I grew up, until I was almost bald...
Only then did I realize that being a great hero or a master is not about having good equipment or a cool appearance; it's not about defeating enemies or gaining honor.
The price paid, the practice, the hardships and dangers endured, the choices made and the regrets—compared to the empty fame and praise left behind in the end, they are truly insignificant.
Perhaps only those who survived truly understand that surviving on the battlefield is a matter of pure luck...
So what truly sustains a hero in the face of a crisis where victory seems impossible or the situation is rapidly changing?
It's instinct and habit, it's role models and the ideals of justice I had as a child...
As a skinny person, Lorraine naturally had no lofty ideals, only ambitions and desires to make a name for herself... Her teacher had even greater ambitions, but was always unreliable. He treated this strange other world as a game, while every choice Lorraine made truly determined her life and death, affecting her ability to live another life.
For Lorraine, a local, the day he becomes an archmage seems ever more distant, yet the trials he endures grow ever more complex...
Take the current situation, for example. Someone is impersonating the "godfather," hoping to switch allegiances. The titles "Lord of the Abyss" and "Destroyer of the Pig Realm" certainly sound impressive... I wonder if the name Barbaras truly carries weight among the demons of the Abyss...
However, someone who can pause for a short time must be someone of considerable importance.
Or perhaps, this is just Lorraine's illusion.
Another near-death experience, a revolving lantern of illusions?
.......
My adoptive father bestowed upon my teacher and me divine artifacts and necromancy. What did the Lord of the Abyss, Papa Rath, give me?
It's just a threat and empty promises; it has no real effect whatsoever...
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
Even if there's no grass, at least there's some sweetness and comfort, right?
It was a five-hit lash of flames, but Lorraine, this wild horse that had leaped from hell several times, was absolutely not afraid!
.......
The effects of the fourth awakening of the Will of the Dead haven't been revealed yet...
This was the moment when the indomitable will of the Forsaken rebounded from its lowest point... The allure of the Plague Seed, the mental attack of the Bloodstone Egg—Lorraine withstood it all. The teacher remained silent; time was of the essence. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to be the early morning of the 26th...
In the underground lava rift, it's very difficult to tell time. My teacher once said that if you could get your hands on a pocket watch, you could do things methodically and systematically...
But what would be the point of this adventure if that were the case?
Venturing into this magical world is all about excitement and novelty... Only then can Lorraine's long-parched blood boil, her long-dormant heart race, and her lifeless eyes light up. Even if she harbors thoughts of wealth, status, power, or anything else that mortals pursue in the secular world, it proves that she is still alive, not just a withered, dying person...
Moji!
dawdling...
Dilemma...
Self-promotion...
The deeper implication is that the fourth awakening effect of the Will of the Dead is Heart of Steel!
.......
what?
[The Strength of the Heart]
Overlapping?
Did you wander onto the wrong set?
......
"Your wind is blowing on me, do you even know that...?"
"You didn't know to dodge..."
"My dash isn't ready yet..."
......
No, the will of the undead has fully awakened for the fourth time:
Increases mental strength by 250%, expands perception range to 50 yards, enabling the detection of subtle fluctuations in all living beings within a 100-yard radius, enters a sage state, allows dodging bullet time... release speed increases by 150%, lasting 45 seconds.
Shadow resistance increased by 500...
Fire resistance increased by 500...
Increases cold resistance by 500...
Natural resistance increased by 500...
Increases all elemental resistances...Immune to mind control...fear...charm...stun, poison or curse effects, immune to holy damage, reflects 500% of damage.
During the 45-second awakening period, resistance to mental spell damage increases by 5% for each instance of mental damage, stacking exponentially... accumulating energy, before the Will of the Undead effect ends, it can be returned to the target in the form of a skull, dealing cumulative damage equal to the damage taken during the Will of the Undead's duration; hence, it is also known as [Heart of Steel]...
The downside is that it lasts for 45 seconds and has a 72-hour cooldown...
It has a longer cooldown time than the one-day body-switching ability of the artifact Mirror of Truth, and its awakening conditions are: 30% health remaining, magic being disabled or silenced, and the body being under negative magical effects.
The moment Lorraine gained the power of the Heart of Steel, he remembered many things...
The previous awakenings of the undead, the acquisition of artifacts, and the development and application of new skills... it seems these things only trigger when you're at your wit's end. It seems my adoptive father is a twisted pervert with a wicked sense of humor, and the rewards he bestows seem incredibly overpowered...
In summary...
The first awakening of the will of the dead on Lorraine had the effect of [Possession] for ten minutes... pulling her back from the dead state and resurrecting her.
The second awakening of the undead will, [Destroyer] beast form, transforming into Unit-00...absorbing and resurrecting skeletal golems...requires the blessing of the [Necromantic Rune Right Eye], burning the vengeful spirits stored up daily...
The third awakening of the undead will, intermediate necromancy rune, bug, [Wraith Lock], successfully opened the [Right Eye of the Necromancer's Prison], transformed 12 Death Lords, upgraded them into the Death Legion, and upgraded two Death Lords to Wardens...
The Death Legion has suffered heavy losses and is severely understaffed. Most of its puppet army slumbers at the bottom of Lake Lordamere and in the ruins of Alterac Mountains, awaiting their master's summons...
The fourth full awakening of the will of the undead, influenced by the shadow power of the Plague Seed, caused necromantic power to be squeezed out and eroded. This granted the ability to transform into a banshee and launch soul attacks, but also the risk of being controlled by the Plague Seed...
With injuries, severely depleted mana, and poisoned and silenced, the awakening of Heart Steel was triggered...
In a daze, Lorraine remembered her teacher mentioning that the treasures she possessed all held unknown powers, including the Hearthstone, Tide Amulet, Ring of Frost, Ring of Supreme Power that had been gathering dust in her bag, and the Guardian's Legendary Staff, now shattered into pieces, and the Bloodstone Egg fragments...
It was the Bloodstone Egg that brought about his death.
It was precisely this hidden symbol of identity given by the Archmage Merlin that aroused the covetousness and suspicion of the Kirin Tor mages...
Thankfully, the cheat-like artifact given to him by his adoptive father, the Mirror of Truth, remains undetectable... Otherwise, Lorraine dared not imagine whether his small frame could withstand a slap from any of the major factions' big bosses in Azeroth...
If the players found out that Lorraine possessed a great treasure, given their character, they would definitely try every means to loot it...
Fortunately, this soul-bound artifact is truly amazing; even if it's placed right in front of the enemy, they can't see it...
Alright, enough rambling... This powerful fourth undead awakening not only has amazing effects, but it also amplifies Lorraine's mental and visual perception. With the blessing of the Mirror of Truth, he felt like a god for forty-five seconds...
In an instant, Lorraine could even sense the subtle wrinkles on Lilith's face as she trembled in fear, hiding in the cracks between the stone figures, worried about Lorraine's life...
She could sense Lilith's anxiety and unease, and her anticipation for Lorraine, the hero.
Indeed, even though Lorraine, the skeletal man, was unattractive, hunchbacked, and of questionable character, talkative and eccentric, in the eyes of the other skeletal women, he was truly a trustworthy friend and partner, a role model recognized by Lilith and her siblings, a warrior of the queen, and a hero of the tribe...
In that instant, Lorraine felt as if she had received immense encouragement; her previously chaotic, disordered, and unstable spiritual will became resilient...
His eyes narrowed, and he heightened his senses. Aside from the orc warlock who had just pronounced Lorraine's death sentence, Lorraine could now clearly see the entirety of his surroundings...
This is an ancient underground city, containing far more orcs than Orgrimmar. Besides orcs, each area is inhabited by different races: cavemen, stone elementals, fire elementals, lava monsters, basilisks, naga fire demons, goblins, ogres—they have long been entrenched underground...
Lorraine even sensed the true entrance and exit immediately. One seemed to connect to a mine, where goblins and demon hounds roamed... another led to a canyon fissure where the Thunder Lizards resided, and a further exit led directly to the sea. There was also an arena guarded by ogres...
This is practically an underground kingdom... Everyone is connected through the areas that spread from the cracks in the ground; Lorraine even saw minotaurs, boar-men, harpies, and centaurs...
