Chapter 906: 906 During the invasion of the Grey Valley by the Burning Legion, Illidan absorbed the energy of a powerful Warlock artifact called the 'Skull of Gul'dan' and transformed into a demon-like creature . In the process, he acquired incredible strength and part of Gul'dan's memories, particularly those concerning the Tomb of Sargeras .
He then met Kil'Jaeden, the demon responsible for what had happened . The Lich King Ner'zhul had become too powerful and was now too difficult to control . Kil'Jaeden ordered Illidan to eliminate Ner'zhul . As part of the deal, Illidan would receive more power, and be granted a place as a leader within the Burning Legion . The corrupted Illidan immediately agreed and began his preparations to destroy the frozen throne that imprisoned the Lich King's soul . He needed a powerful artifact, so he summoned the Naga from the Dark Deep Sea Lair to find the island where the legendary tomb of Sargeras was . Illidan succeeded in stealing the Eye of Sargeras and went to Dalaran to take advantage of the powerful energy that could be found in the city . With a devastating spell, he smashed through the Lich King's defenses, which also split the bridge between worlds . However, he was stopped at the last moment by Maiev, who was supported by Malfurion and Priestess Tyrande . Maiev was actually his sister-in-law, and Illidan didn't seem to be attracting anyone's goodwill . In the end, Illidan ended up creating the Queen Sylvanas, a Death Knight, and freed many others from the control of the Lich King, but no one was grateful for him . When the Lich King lost control of the Death Knights, they vowed to seek revenge on him for the horrors that they suffered under his control .
Additionally, the Death Knights also found themselves without purpose or a home, so they entered various human territories in an attempt to find new companions . As they travelled, they were strengthened and their undead bodies manifested an evil anger within them . They had witnessed countless atrocities, and those who looked upon them could feel the warmth being pulled from their bodies as it was replaced by a steel-like coldness . Death Knights fought in close combat, and used dark magic to enhance their weapons, increase their strength or weaken their enemies . Baron Rivendare was a typical second-generation Death Knight, but there was something special about him . Because of the favor he had with Kel'Thuzad, his status was much higher than that of an ordinary Death Knight . Even Lu Li didn't know that the former Stratholme Lord had killed his son here to resurrect him as a Death Knight before embarking on a journey to find Alexandros Mograine, Sir Zeliek, Lady Blaumeux, and Thane Korth'azz to form the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse . Now, he was only a level 50 Boss sitting alone in Stratholme, directing his undead troops to fight . Of course, his fate was to desperately resist as the countless players sought to take the Deathcharger that he was sitting on . However, the loser would eventually always be the Baron . As the mount became more popular, he would be humiliated even further as more players acquired it .
"Intruder, leave my territory!" "Dammit, these little monsters actually give the Boss HP!" As a War Commander, there was no doubt that Baron Rivendare would have high HP and powerful skills . The players had struggled to damage him, before discovering that he had summoned a wave of six skeletons . These monsters didn't charge at the players, and instead went straight for the Boss . As everyone stared in confusion, Rivendare's HP suddenly increased as the skeletons fell to the ground . "That is so overpowered," Azure Sea Breeze complained . He had tanked a Mortal Strike from the Boss and had to use his damage reduction skills . He was already afraid of this Boss, and felt like he was always taking the abuse . "Make sure you pay attention and kill the small monsters . Flower and Rice Ball are responsible for them when they spawn," Lu Li said . Baron Rivendare could use Mortal Strike and Opportune Strike at close range . At long range, he had learned Shadow Bolt from an Undead Mage and was able to summon Undead servants . As well as this, he could use the life force of these Undead creatures to regenerate himself . Mortal Strike was one of the Warriors' signature skills . Its damage usually wasn't that high, but it was most effective against Main Tanks as it applied Lethality . If a target had Lethality applied to them, all healing effects would be halved . This meant March Rain, who originally could give 400 HP per heal to Azure Sea Breeze, could now restore 200HP . This effect lasted for 10 seconds . The Undead Servants were naturally summoned for the sake of HP regeneration . The players that faced Rivendare for the first time usually found themselves helpless against them . However, none of these tricks would work against Lu Li . As previously mentioned, Lu Li had over 300 strategies for fighting this Boss . He knew exactly what needed to be done for any stage of this Boss fight . Rivendare was probably the most unfortunate Boss in Straholme . All the obstacles designed by the game designers were easily overcome by Lu Li's decisions . Even if someone was actively monitoring their battle, they would only feel like this team had just been lucky . "Drink Holy Water . " The Holy Water that they had prepared beforehand was now playing a huge role in the fight . Baron Rivendare's Undead Brutality was now completely ineffective against them . Undead Brutality was similar to a Berserk skill, and even the strongest Main Tank of a major guilds probably wouldn't be able to survive it . However, when the Stratholme's Holy Water was used, it was more or less negated . In fact, Lu Li had several other ways of dealing with Undead Brutality, but they were much more troublesome and needed some items that had be acquired outside of this Instance Dungeon . "Let us defend our glory with blood!" After ten minutes of extended fighting, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group finally progressed to the third stage of the Baron Rivendare Boss fight . There were now phantoms spawning behind him; these were souls of Paladins or former Paladins that were now Death Knights . These Death Knights rushed over to the players with a cavalry charge in multiple rows, dealing huge damage when they hit a target . If they used a conventional defensive strategy, they would inevitably lose a few members . Fortunately, Lu Li knew of a bug that could solve this problem very simply .
