Crossing the World of Warcraft: I am an Ancient God

Chapter 674: Usage of Energy

The green plague spread rapidly forward along the torrent of Aggramar's energy like a surging wave. This strange plague seemed to have life, tightly entwining Aggramar's energy and devouring its power hungrily.

Aggramar felt the threat of this plague, and a trace of fear surged in his heart. He knew very well that this thing that could spread along the energy was definitely not an ordinary thing, and its danger was probably difficult to estimate.

Without time to think, Aggramar made a prompt decision to detonate the energy directly to prevent the plague from further erosion. In an instant, a huge energy explosion set off a storm in the void, shining brightly and deafeningly.

However, to Aggramar's astonishment, despite the violent explosion, the green plague did not decrease. On the contrary, many plagues were still floating in the sky, like ghosts, seemingly completely unaffected by the energy explosion.

"What on earth is that thing?" Brooks dragged his exhausted body and walked to Yun's side with difficulty, asking with a suspicious look on his face.

Yun shook his head and answered in bewilderment: "I don't know either. This is something my men made."

Brooks stared at the green plague floating in the air, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "This thing is really not simple. The energy of the Titan is quite pure, but it can attach to it, and it seems that the energy explosion has little damage to it."

Yun echoed worriedly, "Yeah, I'm worried about that too. I wonder if this plague will cause any substantial harm to the Titans."

Brooks raised his lips slightly, revealing a smile, and said comfortingly: "Anyway, at least we now know that Titan's energy is helpless against this thing, so he should not dare to easily confront this plague."

As Brox said, Aggramar directly used a large amount of energy to inject into his legs. Under the nourishment of a large amount of energy, Aggramar's legs seemed to be ignited, emitting a blazing light. The light quickly spread to his whole body, as if wrapping him in a golden cocoon of light.

In just a few moments, Aggramar's legs recovered at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, his legs were back to where they were before. However, Yun was keenly aware of something strange. He noticed that although Aggramar's legs were injured, after this recovery, his left leg had obviously recovered completely, while his right leg seemed to still have some problems.

A thought instantly flashed through Yun's mind - this must be his own chaotic energy at work!

He knew before that Chaos Energy has an extremely abnormal DOT effect, which will continuously erode the target's body and cause continuous damage. Now it seems that this effect is not only effective against ordinary creatures, but also against powerful beings like Titans, and the effect seems to be more significant. Now that he knows that Chaos Energy has an effect on Titans, Yun is even less worried, especially since Brox is so strong. If Aggramar does not have external help, it seems that it is not difficult to kill him.

"Healing." Yun whispered the word, and a soft light bloomed from his hand, flowing to Brooks like a spring. However, Yun felt a little uneasy, as he was not sure whether this healing spell would really work on Brooks.

Brooks' exhausted body seemed to tremble slightly after coming into contact with the light. Yun nervously observed his reaction, only to see Brooks suddenly open his eyes with a look of surprise on his face.

"Huh?" There was obvious surprise in Brooks' voice. He stared at Yun with wide eyes, as if he had seen something incredible.

Seeing this, Yun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? This thing has no effect on you?" He frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

Brooks did not answer Yun's question immediately, but continued to stare at him. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Is this a natural spell? How could you do it?" His tone was full of disbelief.

Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained, "Oh, well, I know many kinds of spells, and nature spells are just one of them." He said it lightly, as if it was nothing special.

However, Brooks obviously didn't think so. His eyes widened and he asked, "Don't you know about chaos energy? Isn't chaos energy a mixed energy? How can you know this kind of energy with a single attribute?"

"I don't know. I really don't know what single-attribute energy is." Yun said bewilderedly, "This skill... I can just cast it directly." He scratched his head, seeming to be very confused about his own abilities.

Yun secretly complained in his heart. The reason why he could cast skills so easily was entirely due to the help of the system. However, there was a period of time before when the system malfunctioned, causing him to be unable to use any skills. He could only rely on his own strength to fight hard. That period was really miserable!

"You are really special." There was a hint of envy in Brooks' tone.

"Hmm?" Yun suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Oh, right? They are chasing Aggramar. Can you tell me what's going on? I didn't become so strong through any systematic training, so I have no idea about my current situation."

A look of distress appeared on Yun's face. He really couldn't figure out what level his current strength was at, nor did he know how to further improve himself.

"It's really rare that your unsystematic training can make you so strong. It's really incomparable." Brooks couldn't help but sigh again.

"This is truly a wonderful experience for me, filled with countless coincidences. Some things are hard to describe, and I have gone through countless life-and-death ordeals to achieve what I have today." Yun said with emotion. He felt that his experience was too bizarre and others might find it difficult to understand.

Yun could only say some comforting words. After all, he had reached the height that others only dreamed of so easily, which would inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. "It's okay, I'm not jealous of you. I've seen a lot of ups and downs, and I've seen situations like yours before. The advantage of this method is that the growth rate is extremely fast, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, many basic things are not solid enough. The higher you go, the greater the difficulties you encounter, and the accumulation of combat experience is relatively scarce. You know, many skills are learned between life and death, and you only master some skills passed down by others. Although they are enough to use, they are too slow to respond to changes. Once you meet a real strong man, I'm afraid it's easy to be defeated in an instant." Brooks analyzed bluntly.

Yun knew very well that what Brooks said was true, but for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a hint of "sour grapes" in Brooks' words.

"So I don't really understand your problem. I can only tell you some things that I think are problems." As Brooks spoke, he touched his chin with his hand, as if thinking about how to explain better.

When Yun heard this, his originally somewhat lost mood was instantly ignited. Curiosity flashed in his eyes and he nodded quickly to show that he was very interested.

Seeing this, Brooks continued, "Others first master energy through continuous practice. When they are able to control energy proficiently, they put the energy into various skills to form the effect of the skills. In simple terms, skills are just a means of controlling energy."

Yun listened carefully, nodding from time to time, indicating that he understood what Brooks said. He was not unfamiliar with this concept. After all, in his cognition, skills were just that kind of existence.

Brooks continued, "The reason why others can make their skills more and more powerful is mainly through two ways. First, they will accommodate more energy under the same skill, just like a container, constantly injecting more power into it, so that the power released by the skill will naturally be greater. Second, they will also cleverly combine various skills, and through the mutual cooperation between different skills, they can produce more powerful destructive power. These two methods are commonly used by everyone during the training process."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, through in-depth exploration and research of a skill, people can develop many different uses. For example, a simple attack skill may evolve into multiple functions such as defense and control through continuous experimentation and innovation. However, your problem is that when you use the skill, you do not control the energy at all. It is like you release the energy directly without any guidance or regulation."

Brooks' tone turned serious. "In this way, you will not be able to effectively control your skills and energy. Your attack power will become very stable, neither too high nor too low. This stability may be an advantage for opponents at the same level as you, but it also means that you lose the right to challenge opponents of a higher level. Because when facing stronger enemies, you need to be able to flexibly adjust your skills and energy to deal with various complex situations. And your current method obviously cannot do this."

“But... I don’t have these energies in my body at all. These energies are my encounters and they surround me. There are a lot of these energies. When I cast a skill, they will enter the corresponding skill.” Yun didn’t know if it was right or not, but combined with many things that happened to him before, Yun roughly guessed that he should be like this.

"How wonderful!" Brooks couldn't help but sigh, "You can gather such a large amount of energy without practicing, and this energy won't enter the body to transform it. Just being outside the body can ensure a strong enough energy supply. I have to say, your fate is really enviable!"

After hearing this, Yun showed a helpless smile on his face. He smiled bitterly and said, "What you said are indeed advantages, but the disadvantages are just as you said. I can't control these energies at all."

Brooks smiled slightly, as if he had expected Yun's answer. He continued, "In fact, it's not that you can't control them, but that you don't want to control them at all. In other words, these energies are around you all the time, and you have become accustomed to their existence. When multiple energies are intertwined to attack, although the lethality of the first attribute is limited, the effect of continuous attacks from a large number of energies is also very powerful. Therefore, you may feel that there is no need to bother controlling them anymore."

Yun was a little shaken after hearing what Brooks said. He asked hesitantly, "Is that really the case?"

"You have to get used to controlling energy. Just now you used the chaos energy sword to injure Aggramar, which was very good, but..."

"But what..."

"Your idea is too conservative. Since you control the giant sword with energy, why do you need to form a hilt? What's the use of that thing? The front of the giant sword must be strong, and you have to insert it in, so why do you have so many things at the back? Those have no practical effect except for looking good." Brooks said.

"Uh..." Yun also reacted. Indeed, he just wanted to insert it. He was thinking about the giant sword in his mind, so everything was there.

"Of my axe blade energy wave, only the front part has a lot of energy. The back part only plays a driving role, and the rest is all a waste of energy." Brooks looked at Yun, with an obviously mocking look in his eyes.

"The front of the wave is where my energy gathers. I also use a triple wave crest design. The three layers are almost stacked on top of each other. The first layer retains most of the violent energy, mainly used to break through the energy armor. The second layer adds some corrosive energy to completely open the gap. The third layer adds explosive energy to cause maximum damage to the wound." Brooks repeated the move that had just injured Aggramar.

Yun was stunned. Is Brox still an orc? How come he has so many strategies? This move contains too many meanings. No wonder Brox said that he didn't have much combat experience. He considered too many issues with just this one move. Yun believed that the same axe blade energy wave would definitely have different effects on different enemies.

"So you have to find a way to add your own twist to your skills, and at the same time, you have to make enough changes based on the opponent's situation, even if you want to find the opponent's weaknesses," said Brooks.

Yun understood a lot now. A sword needs inertia to penetrate. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and the deeper it can penetrate. But now Yun is using energy and does not need inertia at all. Therefore, using the most convenient method can naturally lead to more attacks, and the previous situation of chaotic energy being quickly exhausted will not occur.

"So that's how it is. I understand. I'll give it a try." Yun suddenly became excited and slowly walked towards Aggramar.
