Azeroth is a fantasy world.
Therefore, the strength of the truly powerful people in Azeroth generally lies in their mastery of the rules, rather than the strength of their physical bodies. Except for a few, the physical strength of most powerful people is not high and they cannot withstand the attacks of cold weapons.
This is also the reason why pure physical professions such as warriors and thieves can have a place in Azeroth. No matter how strong the caster is, he will die once he is hit in the vitals.
Not to mention the story of the demigod Medivh being stabbed to death by his apprentice with an ordinary iron sword. Even if Illidan, whose physical strength is comparable to that of a demon lord, were to be stabbed in the vitals by a magic weapon, he would have no way out.
This is exactly why Maiev dared to hunt down Illidan, who was a level higher than her in strength, at the heroic level. Even if your magic is powerful enough to tear apart the entire Northrend continent with the help of artifacts, your magic still needs preparation time or locking onto the target before it can be released. Facing Maiev, who has honed her martial arts to the peak, Illidan may not be able to gain the upper hand in close combat.
On the path of cultivation, from professional to hero, it is a double improvement of body and soul. From hero to demigod, the body has stopped evolving, and only the soul will undergo another transformation. The transformed soul is extremely powerful, and even if the body dies, it can be resurrected and reborn again, just like extraordinary beings such as Medivh, Illidan or Faol. Even if they die, they will not go to the Shadow Realm, but will have a day to return.
Claudia is currently undergoing this transformation, taking the first step towards leaving the mortal realm.
Originally, with her savings, she would not have the chance to take this step even after hundreds or thousands of years. This step was completely different from the previous cultivation and promotion. From professional to hero, the essence of cultivation was to develop one's potential and improve oneself, similar to the process of forging iron into steel. The transition from hero to demigod was another matter. It was completely about transforming steel into another completely different substance such as gold, silver or diamond. The difficulty could be called an impossible task.
Precisely because the difficulty is so great, in the 100,000-year history of Azeroth, only a few people such as Illidan and Faol have truly relied on themselves to take this step. Even Medivh completed this qualitative change when he was eighteen years old, relying on the power of Tirisfal he received from his mother Aegwynn.
Claudia's promotion process was a bit similar to Medivh's, but the Silver Hand did not possess the vast amount of Tirisfal power in its body like Aegwynn. The Silver Hand only transmitted a trace of silver fire, and the aura and fluctuations were obviously weakened a lot, which distracted Claudia and almost made her go wrong in the process of condensing the Seal of Order.
"Don't worry about me, condense the Seal of Order first." The voice of the Silver Hand was obviously much weaker, but the power still continued to flow from the inside of the Silver Hand to Claudia.
Claudia no longer dared to lose focus, instead concentrating on controlling the silver flame, melting and condensing the Seal of Order. An unknown amount of time passed before the runes representing the various abilities of the Book of Order finally combined together, centered around Order and Royal Power. They condensed into a silver Seal of Order, replacing the original golden mark between Claudia's eyebrows and emitting a faint silver light.
At this time, Claudia still closed her eyes and immersed herself in her own world. Her perspective seemed to be separated from her body and rose infinitely upwards. Soon she left the material world and entered the void, a sea of source power that filled the entire universe and was everywhere.
Claudia's consciousness touched this sea of source power.
In an instant, the boundless source of order in the sea of source power rushed towards her as if seeing her own mother.
Under the rush of the sea of Order Power, Claudia's soul thrived again, becoming stronger and more solid, as if it were real. The silver Order symbol between her eyebrows also became brighter and brighter, completely emerging from her brows.
The moment the talisman completely emerged and shone brightly, Claudia's consciousness suddenly shook. She could already feel that her soul had reached its peak of growth and had established a stable connection with the sea of source power. Claudia had a sudden realization in her mind: "Now that I've reached my final stage of advancement, I can't stay here for much longer. Varian is still waiting for me outside the room, and my body can't stand going without food or water. It's time to go back."
After making the decision, Claudia's perspective began to fall from the void and quickly returned to the material world, and her perception gradually returned.
The light outside the window began to dim, and Claudia felt a little hungry, but she didn't care about all that. A huge sense of fear gripped her heart, and she could no longer feel the existence of the consciousness in the Silver Hand.
Claudia held up the Silver Hand and tried to communicate with it again and again, but the Silver Hand never responded. Desperate, Claudia used her analytical ability and delved deeper into the Silver Hand. This time, she finally discovered something different. A message was lingering deep within the Silver Hand. Suddenly, Claudia felt something was wrong and reached out to it. The familiar yet weak voice of the Silver Hand echoed in her mind:
"Claudia, don't panic. I'm only temporarily silent. The Silver Hand will also temporarily lose most of its functions."
Fortunately, it’s not the worst case scenario.
Claudia breathed a sigh of relief as the Silver Hand's message continued to echo in her ears: "To give you that silver flame, I have exhausted all the strength I have accumulated over tens of thousands of years. This is why I fell into silence. When you reclaim the Throne of Order, you can use its power to awaken me once more."
