"Phew... that's tough enough!" Jiang Jie tapped Anub'arak's legs and back carapace, then shook his head slightly.
This creature's legs are incredibly hard, almost comparable to those of Arcanite, as are its back armor, which is covered by a 30-centimeter-thick layer of ice.
If you were to attack its back, even the Sword of Holy Light and the Sword of Shadow probably wouldn't be enough; they wouldn't be able to pierce it at all.
Anub'arak's legs and armor are naturally epic-level weapons and armor. They can be easily polished and broken to become epic-level equipment, and the best kind at that.
This is similar to how the Black Dragon Aspect's scales, before he became Deathwing, were processed and became the Warrior artifact " Scale of the Earth-Warder ".
However, Anub'arak's carapace is an epic-grade material, while the Black Dragon Aspect's scales are a legendary-grade material, a whole tier lower.
Anub'arak is so large that if fully utilized, it could easily be crafted into several swords, shields, and even full sets of plate armor, all of which would be epic-grade, the best epic-grade.
We cannot waste it.
The only problem is that these materials are too hard, making them difficult to process.
No problem, leave it to King Magni. The Bronzebeard Dwarves will surely have a solution.
Countless Nerubians were still rushing towards them from all around. Jiang Jie chuckled and casually waved his hand, shattering a massive boulder weighing tens of tons, which was then blown away by the gale. Then, as Jiang Jie raised his hand, a huge hand of Chi grabbed Anub'arak's left foreleg and carried him back.
" Tsul'Kalu, clear the way! Let's go see how those little guys are doing!"
" Thassarian, watch out! Koltira, be on defense!"
" Lilian, Ivan, Master Onias, go and kill those Nerubians spellcasters!"
" Sven, don't linger!"
" Kor'kron... watch yourselves!"
Darion, his body gleaming with golden light, unleashed a flurry of punches, annihilating one Nerubians after another that stood in his way.
With the help of Thassarian and Koltira, they broke through the Nerubians, using various skills to clear a path.
The Lich and Undead attacked with frost spells, not to kill the enemy, but only to delay the Nerubians's advance.
The Kor'kron's battle axes swept across the battlefield; these Orcs warriors were incredibly powerful, and an ordinary Nerubians was nothing more than a single blow from their axes.
Sven Nazgolin covered the rear.
Fortunately, Nazgolin is different from most Kor'kron; he doesn't seem to consider " Kor'kron " superior and is relatively polite to Sven, at least willing to join forces with Sven to fight the Nerubians coming from the rear.
The Shaman also summoned lightning bolts and Ghost Wolf to assist in both defense and offense.
This small team, which hadn't yet gelled together, didn't coordinate well, but fortunately, they were all elites and could at least do their jobs well without letting the team down.
Three minutes later, they rushed to a Nerubians Elder, then brushed past it on its left and continued charging toward the next Nerubians Elder.
Meanwhile, Lilian, Ivan, and Master Onias, the three thieves, all left the party at the same time.
Working together, the three killed the Nerubians Elder in less than ten seconds, dying at the hands of Master Onias's dagger. The three then returned to their squad to continue their defensive duties.
The effect is great!
Just like the legendary " Eighteen Riders of Yanyun ", this squad charged back and forth among thousands of Nerubians as if they were in an empty field.
Before long, they arrived before the only Legendary Nerubians.
This is a smaller Crypt Lord, covered in a hard shell and encased in a thick layer of ice.
The Shaman raised his hand and threw the warhammer. With a loud bang, the warhammer flew back, scattering ice shards from the Legendary Nerubians's body. The warhammer, carrying wind and lightning power, failed to completely shatter the ice and couldn't harm the Legendary Nerubians!
With a roar, Darion leaped into the air and slammed his fists down hard on the Legendary Nerubians's head.
Then I saw ice shards flying everywhere, and the ice layer cracked inch by inch, but it was still no use!
Darion retreated swiftly, dodging the attacks of the other Nerubians, his expression darkening.
His fists,
With immense force, shattering several-ton boulders is commonplace, yet it can't even break a layer of ice at most twenty centimeters thick? This ice isn't ordinary ice; it's magical ice formed from the power of frost, its hardness far exceeding that of ordinary steel!
That's equivalent to 20 centimeters of steel armor, how could he possibly shatter it?
Most importantly, these ice layers also possess the ability to self-heal, slowly recovering as frost forms. How can you fight against that?
"Let's do it!"
Thassarian and Koltira exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.
On their left and right, two epic runic greatswords struck the Legendary Nerubians's head simultaneously. Then, as the runes flashed, the greatswords pierced through the ice!
Darion's eyes lit up:
It seems possible?
The Death Knight's rune sword is not an ordinary sword, but a sword imbued with runic magic, possessing extremely strong anti-magic properties, which is perfect for dealing with these ice layers formed by the condensation of frost power.
However...
Ultimately, the rune sword stopped in the ice, because the Legendary Nerubians's carapace was harder than their rune swords and extremely resistant to magic, making it impossible to pierce.
Thassarian and Koltira quickly withdrew their hands and retreated back into their formation.
A Kor'kron warrior also leaped up, his massive axe, imbued with the Orcs's immense strength, cleaving through the ice, but was also stopped by the carapace.
Think about it, the carapace itself is harder than their axe. How could an axe possibly break through such a hard and thick carapace?
None of the three thieves attempted it, because in terms of pure attack power, thieves were far inferior to Warrior or Death Knight; their daggers were only about thirty centimeters long—how could they possibly break through their defenses?
Needless to say, Lich and Undead are even less suited to such things; their expertise in frost magic is probably only good for enhancing the armor of Legendary Nerubians.
Darion frowned.
If you can't even break through its defenses, then dealing with this Legendary Nerubians will be troublesome.
"I'll give it a try!"
The cone-shaped squad circled around, avoiding the Legendary Nerubians's charge, and headed in other directions.
Sven, who was at the very back, did not attack the Legendary Nerubians's back, but instead swept his sword horizontally.
The Chi of the Xiantian Fourth Layer Realm was poured into the Greatsword of Ancient Power, and then a cracking sound was heard. One of the Legendary Nerubians's front legs was actually cut off by Sven!
It doesn't rely on sharpness, but on strength.
Relying on his powerful Chi and strength, Sven actually smashed the Nerubians's forelegs, which were almost as hard as Greatsword of Ancient Power, off one by one!
What a terrifying power that is!
Darion's eyes lit up again:
"This method works!"
He shouted immediately, "Change formation! Circular formation! Defense! Rogues protect Sven, Lich and Death Knight control the battlefield, Shaman assist! Sven, cut off all its legs!"
The simplest circular formation can be transformed in less than 5 seconds without any discussion.
Kor'kron, warriors, and Death Knight protected the spellcaster inside, while Sven wandered alone outside, with Lilian, Ivan, and Master Onias doing everything in their power to ensure his safety.
Although Sven specialized in internal energy cultivation, his speed was also very fast with the support of his Chi. Suddenly, he struck again with his sword, severing the Legendary Nerubians's second leg.
The Legendary Nerubians wasn't stupid; it knew things couldn't continue like this, so it began to burrow underground.
It couldn't just burrow directly into the ground. The Legendary Nerubians lowered its front half, breaking through the soil, but its rear end sticking up, revealing a third of its abdomen.
Sven immediately seized the opportunity, circled behind the Nerubians, gripped his sword with both hands, and thrust with all his might, piercing the Legendary Nerubians's...
Somewhere.
" Darion!" Sven shouted.
No need for many words; they worked together seamlessly, Darion knew what to do.
He charged forward and rammed directly into the Legendary Nerubians's rear end. Then, together with Sven, they managed to flip the four- or five-ton Legendary Nerubians over.
"Attack with all your might!" Darion shouted, leaping onto the Nerubians's abdomen, his fists swung like the wind.
Sven drew his greatsword, leaped onto the Nerubians's abdomen, and the greatsword fell, piercing through its belly.
Nazgolin also charged forward, brandishing his giant axe.
The carapace on the Legendary Nerubians's abdomen was far less hard than that on its back, and the ice layer was only a few centimeters thick, making it easy to shatter. Then, death was all that awaited the Legendary Nerubians.
During this process, the others maintain Defensive Stance to ensure they are not disturbed.
Seeing this scene from afar, Jiang Jie smiled slightly.
Although they fell short of his expectations, they ultimately succeeded.
If you can do it once, you can do it a second and a third time.
With a few more training sessions, these three teams will likely all possess the strength to assassinate Legendary, or at least be close to Legendary.
" Anveena, teleport them up there!"
Jiang Jie put down Anub'arak, swept his fists horizontally, destroying the nearby Nerubians, then sprouted wings from his ribs and flew into the sky:
"Let's continue fighting up there. I'm going to meet Arthas first!"
