he came from the void

Obscured by the rain of fire pouring from the sky, Xerath thought it was another Ascended from the Shurima Empire. Flying over their heads.

But the size of the things in front of him didn't seem right, leaving aside the pair of dragon wings, he was only the size of an ordinary person, even smaller than Xerath himself.When Xerath raised his hand, intending to shoot him down with a scorching ray, the man abruptly flew out of his field of vision by virtue of his sudden acceleration.

When Xerath found him again, the other party had already attacked him.

Xerath felt an impact force no less than being slashed by Nasus' great ax on his shoulder, and he was immediately knocked away by the huge force, turning into a burning meteor and falling to the ground.

He was wrapped in a pair of sharp claws, adjusted his posture in the air, and both fell into the moat.

They sank to the bottom of the river, and the turbulent river flooded in, reacting violently with the burning flames on Xerath's body, producing a large amount of water vapor, and suppressing his spiritual fire at the same time.But from the perspective of void vision, Xerath's body is still as bright as day, dazzling like a star.

Even though he was sealed in the water, Xerath's body was still exuding terrifyingly high temperatures, and the void skin armor was adapting to this temperature, constantly improving its tolerance.

He continued to grab the chains on Xerath's body with both arms, and at the same time, some smooth tentacles formed by void energy drilled out from the bottom of the river, tightly entangled Xerath's torso and limbs, and began to suck vigorously The huge magical power in his body.

These are all the traps that Kahn hid at the bottom of the river with Kai'Sa and set them up with void magic. In order to avoid the fire rain that splashed all over the city under Xerath's rage, they hid in the river from the beginning. And he planned to wait until the critical moment of the battle between Xerath and Azir before coming out to make a final decision.

But the dark power of Xerath has grown beyond imagination after thousands of years.

"Xerath's power survives because of these chains. We have to destroy these chains to reveal his true weakness." Karn said to Kai'Sa who was swimming close.

She began to try to cut the chain with the blade of her fist, and when the chain snapped, pieces of the sarcophagus fell off with it.Xerath tried to resist, but was held firmly by Karn's hands.His magic was also suppressed, and an inexplicable nothingness seemed to penetrate into his mind, making him even forget how to resist.

The two tore apart the chains and sarcophagus that held Xerath in place, and now he was no longer human, but a vortex of arcane energies, ascension and dark sorcery.

After feeling that it was almost done, Kahn began to reach out to Xerath's energy core, and the terrifying high temperature in the center of the vortex caused his second skin to shrink immediately.Kahn hastily withdrew his hand, clenched his fist for a while and let it go helplessly.

To devour Xerath's magic, more preparations are needed.

Chapter 591 Sealing Again

Karn's eyes searched around the river, looking for something that could suppress Xerath's powerful magic.

But unfortunately, nothing was gained after a lap.I can only rely on myself.

He was quick to wit, using void magic to shape crystal wedges one by one, and then inserted them into the energy vortex.These crystals are similar to those tentacles, and they can also absorb energy. When multiple wedges are driven into Xerath's body, the temperature in the center of the vortex is effectively dropped.

Then Kahn made the skin armor gigantic, and his arms swelled accordingly, forcefully protruding into the center of the vortex, frantically absorbing the mutated magic.As the energy was quickly drawn away, Xerath was also constantly weakening, and he had no strength to resist Kahn.

The reason Kahn agreed to do Nasus to revive Azir was also because he coveted Xerath, who was released with him. If such a pure energy collection was swallowed up, it might save a few struggles. ten years.Although Xerath is strictly regarded as Bakay who failed to ascend, the power of ascension in his body is no less than that of orthodox ascenders, and Kahn has been longing for it for a long time.

That's why he deliberately created this opportunity, which can not only weaken the enemy but also satisfy his own needs, it is regarded as the travel expenses of this trip.

However, the people above saw that Kahn dragged Xerath into the water for a long time and did not come out, and began to feel that something was wrong.Under Azir's signal, Nasus came to the river to investigate the situation, and called Karn's name.

Just when he couldn't wait to jump, Kai'Sa surfaced her head from the water.

"Wait a little longer." She said: "Kan has suppressed Xerath, now find something to seal him, don't let him escape."

Hearing this, Nasus narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look in the direction of the sun disc. Azir's figure cast a stalwart silhouette against the light.After signaling to Azir, the Ascension Emperor bestowed a magical sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus wrapped in chains was used to seal monsters that even the Ascended could not deal with. Under Azir's control, it flew out from the depths of the mausoleum and landed heavily in front of Nasus.

The sarcophagus was very heavy, and Renekton, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, also approached. The two brothers, who had returned to normal size, dragged the sarcophagus to the river bank together, waiting for Kahn to appear.

Not long after, Karn rushed out of the river holding Xerath, who had absorbed enough magic from Xerath.Now the purple light emitted from the texture-like cracks on his skin armor is deeper, and it is not known what else has changed for the time being.

Xerath, who had absorbed the magic, was completely smaller than before. Although the appetite for void skin armor would never be satisfied, if the discomfort was enough, Azir might not be able to give an explanation.

Knowing from Kai'Sa that the Ascenders are already waiting, Kahn immediately took Xerath to fly upwards and landed in front of the two gods.They carried a piece of stone steel twice, while Azir kept a safe distance.

"Void?" When Renekton saw Kahn for the first time, he instinctively clenched the crescent knife and axe, and flicked his tail uneasily.

He participated in the suppression of Icacia, and he is one of the few ascenders who can still maintain his sanity. Perhaps he chose to let Nasus imprison him in the mausoleum, which made him not fight with others The Ascendant degenerates into the Darkin like that, and is eventually wiped out.

"Don't be impatient, he is not an enemy, I will explain to you later." Nasus asked Renekton to keep calm, this matter is difficult to explain, and now is not the time.

As Kahn handed Xerath to Nasus, he was no longer speechless, and said stubbornly: "Do you want to use the same trick on me a second time?!"

"The seal this time will only be stronger than the last one, and you won't be able to escape." Nasus ignored Xerath's complaints, forcefully stuffed him into the sarcophagus, and tied it tightly with iron chains several times.These chains are enchanted with effects greater than those of Demacia's enchanted stone.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Azir approaching, and Nasus told Renekton to stop, not in a hurry to close the coffin lid.

Azir stood in front of the sarcophagus, looked at Xerath, who was already powerless, and cast complicated gazes.

Time was too tight, and he still had a lot of things to figure out. He only knew that Xerath had caused everything.There are so many old accounts to be turned over, and they cannot be written off hastily. There are still some things that need to be clarified with Xerath.

Like his motivation.

"You are already free, but why don't you stop." Azir asked, his voice was bitter and hollow.

"It's too late, friend. It's too late, brother. It's too late for us. Too many things are going on, too many sacrifices are being made, and I can't turn back..."

Xerath didn't answer Azir's question well, even though it was his last chance to defend himself.

Azir felt a burst of disappointment, and Nasus sealed the coffin lid. As the jackal-headed god cast a spell on the coffin, Xerath's voice was completely sealed inside.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Nasus asked.

"Close it first, there are too many things to deal with now, and I will judge him when I have time."

Kahn listened to the conversation between the two, thinking that there might be a day when Azir and Xerath would sit down and talk calmly together.

Azir looked around his capital, besides the two natives Nasus and Renekton, there were only three of them, Karn.There is no one in the huge city, and there is no life at all, just like an empty grave protruding from the sand.

And that disaster still has an impact on the Dawn Oasis, leaving behind sequelae in this city.It can be seen from a certain angle under the sunlight that ghosts of sand and dust appear in the streets and alleys.

They opened their mouths and let out silent screams, turned and fled, fell, crawled... in the desperate silence, they reproduced the appearance of the dying moment again and again.

This is a ghost town, Azir thought painfully.But no matter what, we have to make this place full of living people first.

"An emperor cannot live without people, and a city cannot live without residents. Nasus, we must find a way to revive the Dawn Oasis."

"Your Majesty, the clear water flowing from the Dawn Oasis is continuously pouring into the Mother of Life. When people find that the Mother of Life has been refilled, they will follow the water source to find out. The nomads will be the first to arrive. Needless to say, they will spread the news of your return, and those admirers of the royal family will definitely come to seek refuge after hearing the rumors."

Nasus' answer gave Kai'Sa an idea, and she whispered to Karn, "Why don't we just wait here for Taliyah's arrival, I have a hunch that she will come with the Weaver Tribe."

"Listen to you." Kahn nodded.

Chapter 592 The Spring of Healing

After listening to what Nasus said, Azir nodded slightly.

Indeed, as long as they guard the city, there will be a steady stream of Shurima.When they heard the rumors about the rise of the capital, they were curious or admiring, and they would always want to come and witness it with their own eyes. At that time, they would either be overwhelmed by the grand city or frightened.

But it's not his style to just go with the flow.

"Not fast enough." Azir said, "I want the whole world to hear my voice. I can't wait to see the golden guards line the Emperor's Avenue in Dawn Oasis."

Azir didn't care what kind of suspicion his return would arouse among the crowd, he just wanted to make his people and army stronger.The people are the foundation of a country's strength, and a country without people will not be successful.

At the same time, Azir also needs an army.His sand soldiers are all soulless warriors, they can only fight and cannot help him manage the city.Moreover, his hands can't be stretched that long, and he can't take part in every battle in Shurima in person, without missing a single one.

As for what kind of wave his arrival created among the crowd, he didn't care, he just wanted to make his power grow quickly.

"It's not a day's work to be a mountain. Your Majesty, we have waited for such a long time, and it will not be short of a while. This is a world where mortals rule, and nothing can stop your footsteps."

Nasus kept persuading, trying to make up for Azir's current world situation.Thousands of years have passed, even the astrology has shifted, Azir needs to know too many things, it is best not to act rashly before figuring out the consequences.

Seeing Sivir approaching, Nasus and Renekton dragged the seal Xerath to the depths of the mausoleum.Now only the Ascension Emperor and the three of them were left by the river, Azir stared at the raging river in a daze.

"I was wondering if I should walk around first and see for myself what Shurima has become," he said to himself, hoping someone would tell him the answer.

"Only by looking at it will you know that the underground in the west of the Shurima Desert has become a lair for void creatures."

"Has it already spread..." Azir couldn't help frowning, the threat of the void could not be eradicated even by Shurima in its heyday, so what would he do to solve it.

The river was flowing, and Kahn felt that the time had come, so he asked Azir: "Your Majesty, does the abolition of slavery that you said still count?"

As soon as these words came out, Azir's body under the armor seemed to freeze. This interesting scene also made Sivir smell the gossip, and narrowed his eyes vigilantly.

Azir pondered, if he remembered correctly, everyone who knew about this matter, except Xerath, should be dead.

He announced the abolition of slavery just before his ascension, as a surprise to Xerath, but the ensuing betrayal killed all who knew of it in a catastrophic death.Nasus and Renekton happened to be absent, and were sent away by Xerath to subdue a flame spirit beast. When they returned, the disaster had already happened, so they didn't know it either.

Under the circumstances of being betrayed, Azir can completely take back this sentence, but the painful lesson made him have to take this matter seriously.

"I need a people who respect me as their ruler, not a bunch of slaves who don't even have a name."

Today is not what it used to be, and the reborn Shurima is in urgent need of development. Only enlightened policies can attract more people, and slavery will only become an obstacle for him at present.

"Sivir, I have something to do, you can wander around the city and arrange it yourself." After speaking, Azir leaned on the blade of his staff and left.

Seeing his back disappear around the corner, Sivir looked at Kahn: "You asked for Taliyah, right?"

"That's right, what Azir will do next must be to gather the former people and unify the divided tribes. During this process, the nomads that Taliyah belongs to will worry that the Ascension Emperor will turn them into slaves."

"Freedom is the most important thing," Sivir agreed.

"Is it more important than money?"

"Of course, how can money compare to freedom? Of course, I am not short of money now. Any antique in this city can be sold for a good price." Sivir didn't care about Kahn's sarcasm. Turning his head to look at the moat at his feet, he asked casually, "When will this water be full?"

"What do you want to do?" Kane asked.

The moat of Dawn Oasis is very deep, and it is not full under the flooding of the flood, but the water output at the mouth of the pipe still shows no signs of decreasing. Flows through most of Shurima, bringing life and hope to those trapped by thirst and heat.

"It's the fastest way to leave the capital directly by boat. There is no one in this dead city. It's really boring." Sivir kicked a stone into the river, and then simply sat by the river.

There is no protection on such a deep river, which looks strange and dangerous.However, according to Shurima people's desire for fresh water, if they can swim, they would like to jump into it.

"Are you going to leave so soon? I think it's okay here, no one bothers you." Kahn has no plans to leave Dawn Oasis for the time being. This mysterious ancient city has just been unveiled. What a pity.

"That's right, we're going to wait here for Taliyah and ask her for a favor." Kai'Sa agreed.

"What help?"

"A little 'little thing' about my father, but it takes Taliyah to do it."

"Oh~" Sivir nodded perfunctorily, "When it comes to helping, I remembered something."

As she spoke, she took out two bottles of water from her body and gave one of them to Kahn.Seeing that Kahn didn't stretch out his hand, he stuffed it into Kaisha's hand instead, arousing her doubts. "What's this?"

"Healing Fountain," Sivir replied.

When she was left in the temple to avoid the Ascended War, she didn't do nothing. Even if Kahn didn't remind her, she would grab some spring water and put it on her body in case of emergencies.It turns out that there is such a magical thing that can repair any fatal injury in a short time, but this does not mean that he has forgiven Kahn.

Kahn took a look at the spring water and let Kai'sa hold it.He commented casually: "The food is good, but the portion is a bit small, and it was soaked by someone."

"..." Sivir suddenly had the urge to kick Kahn into the moat, but in the end he held back and did not do so.

After the anger left Sivir, the two of them were left alone, and Kahn was happy to take Kaisha around and enjoy the world of the two.

he came from the void

Chapter 593 Newcomer

The current state of the Dawn Oasis is like an empty city. Kahn and Kai'Sa found that the city is almost an empty shell in the process of exploring.

There are many buildings in the city that are superficial. When you open the door and enter, you will find that not only is there no one living in it, sometimes there is no basic furniture, and it is completely empty.

What's even more strange is that there are some buildings that cannot be entered at all, just like those areas in the game world that have not yet been opened, you can only look at them, but don't even think about entering them.Even if you get stuck in a loophole and get in, you can only see a lot of blank space waiting for developers to fill in.

Regarding this phenomenon, Kahn felt that the Dawn Oasis had been buried for too long, and many things could not withstand the erosion of time and turned into nothingness.But today's capital is based on a piece of dilapidated ruins, and Azir has molded it into what he remembers.

In such a big city, even he can't remember every street and alley, remember the structure of every house, so there are so many missing details, which makes this city feel very weird and not real enough.

Undoubtedly, the city needs a degree of rebuilding that can only be done with living people.

Azir asked them to arrange it themselves, and Kahn chose a house on a higher ground to move in, so that he would not be disturbed by the sound of running water.And these houses are ownerless, they can pick whatever they want.

However, they chose to spend the night in the library in the end. It seems that Azir spent his childhood here for a long time. The environment of the library is much more detailed and substantial than other places, and many books are well preserved. Well, you can take it out and look at it anytime.

During the day, Nasus also spends long hours in the library flipping through ancient books or organizing bookshelves.Azir will also show up from time to time, coming to remember the past.Renekton also came to discuss some matters with his brother.So staying here, Kahn doesn't feel too quiet, but the circle is much smaller, and the only people he sees back and forth are those few people.

Surprisingly, within three days, someone discovered the city rising from the sandy bottom.

This is a nomadic tribe that followed the water source, and was extremely shocked by the sudden appearance of such a magnificent city on the river.They observed the city from a distance, but they didn't know that when they observed the capital, the people in the city were also observing them.

Out of various doubts, this nomadic tribe looked at the wide-open city gate but did not dare to enter, and bypassed the city to go elsewhere.

A few days later, a caravan came to Dawn Oasis. The wind and sand that night was a bit heavy. After the same shock and doubts, they decided to venture into the city to explore, and this gave Kahn a chance to contact them. Opportunity.

The caravan cautiously entered the city gates. Helmed guards and red-and-gold cloaks watched silently at the newcomers to Shurima.

The leader approached the guard, who smelled of deep mud, dry and dirty, making him suddenly feel out of breath.But for the sake of safety, he still bit the bullet and approached the guards, wanting to ask if the caravan he led could be allowed to enter the city to rest for a night.

The guard did not answer the leader's question, but silently watched the direction of the city gate, like a stone sculpture.

Seeing that the guard was not moving, the team leader cautiously moved closer, and his gaze seemed to be attracted by this close look, and his whole body was driven closer and closer by curiosity.

Through the slits of the guard's helmet, he could see that the skin around his eyes didn't resemble any of the complexions common to Shurimans.Neither wheaten nor reddish-brown nor black is right, but a gritty brown...
