Battle of the Two Cities: From Zaun to the Void

Chapter 153 Attention from Aatrox

According to the absorbed memories, the preparations for the ascension ceremony were extremely cumbersome.

It is necessary to calibrate the position of the solar disk to ensure that the energy of the astral world can hit the ascended person.

It is also necessary to make a rune ring suitable for the ascended person to fight against the tyrannical astral energy.

Of course, there are also Ascendants who successfully ascended without the need for a rune circle, Renekton is just that.

However, this time the ascension ceremony was unusual.

Xerath will cause an explosion during the ceremony, and the entire Shurima Empire will be swallowed by yellow sand. He must be fully prepared to deal with it.

Not only must there be a rune circle, but several more.

If possible, it is best to improve your own strength first.

Du Wenkai felt full of energy, and the fighting spirit that he had vowed to be number one in the grade appeared again!

The Temple of the Sun was built in the southwest of the capital.

It is a set of large buildings.

This is the cultural center of Shurima.

It is also the place where the old ladies of Shurima dance in the square dance.

At the gate of the temple stands a huge sun disc, which is exactly the same as the defense tower summoned by Azir in the game.

It's just that the disk on top of the defense tower is very large, and under the sunlight, the shadow covers the entire Sun Temple.

Below the disc, is a huge square.

The yellowstone paved on the square is unique. It is a treasure mine dug from the foot of Mount Targon by previous ascenders, and the amount of work is huge.

At this time, Xerath was standing on the square, with his hands behind his back, smiling as he faced Du Wenkai who was coming.

Following behind him was a powerful ancient Ascendant, Aatrox, a god warrior who had participated in the Icacia War.

"Damn it, living Sword Demon!"

Du Wenkai's eyes widened.

The current Xerath has not yet turned into arcane energy, and its appearance is just that of an ordinary human being, so it doesn't have much impact on people.

But Aatrox is different. Aatrox has ascended for many years, no matter his appearance or momentum, he is extremely majestic.

Du Wenkai looked at it quietly.

Aatrox wore golden armor.

The light blue flesh wings behind him are inlaid with gold trim.

Two jagged horns protrude from the top of the head, which are wavy and unusually sharp.

He is close to 1.8 meters tall, and the golden epee he holds in his hand is much taller than the [-]-meter Du Wenkai.

"Prophet Zhou."

Before Du Wenkai recovered from the shock, Xerath and Aatrox spoke.

Du Wenkai hurriedly returned the gift, and asked, "Your Majesty's ascension ceremony will only start half a month later. Why did you two come so early?"

Aatrox took a step forward, looked down at Du Wenkai, and said, "There is trouble in the east, and a flame spirit with a diamond rank appears, threatening the rule of the Shurima Empire."

"What's going on?" Du Wenkai pretended to be surprised.

Aatrox patiently explained: "In an underground palace in the east, a flame spirit body with a diamond rank suddenly appeared, and it wrecked everywhere in the empire, causing riots and destroying a town."

"This is the first riot in the Shurima Empire in a hundred years, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it."

"Yesterday, the two leaders Rhaast and Varus and the two generals Nasus and Renekton were ordered to lead the Ascended Legion to go out."

"All the Ascended Legion is going out? What about the capital?" Du Wenkai asked worriedly, pretending to be concerned about national affairs.

Aatrox also had concern on his face, and said:
"Now that the capital is empty, we came here early to ensure that the ascension ceremony is safe."

"With us, there are fifty inner guards of His Majesty."

"These days we will act together with Prophet Zhou."

"Prophet Zhou, please."

"Really human!" Du Wenkai praised Aatrox in his heart, and Aatrox told him all the news he wanted to know.

Ascendants are also known as God Warriors. Ordinary Ascendants are only platinum rank experts, and most of them are platinum level [-] or [-].

Only four Ascended have reached the diamond rank, including the three warriors who survived the Setaka era: Aatrox, Raast and Varus, as well as the murderous desert butcher Renekton.

And the famous desert god of death, Nasus, is just an academic and strategic ascendant, and his own strength is only platinum level three.

Du Wenkai nodded to the two with a smile, and said, "If that's the case, I'll take care of you two."

"Please." Xerath made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the back of the square first.

Du Wenkai, who was following behind, suddenly changed his mind.

Aatrox had come to make sure the ascension ceremony was safe.

But Xerath's purpose may not be that simple.

The reason why Xerath came with Aatrox is probably to monitor him and prevent him from revealing his secrets.

This directly cut off his route to Azir.

"You shitty Xerath, you're such an idiot." Du Wenkai scolded his mother secretly.

Behind the square is the temple passage paved with granite.

Clean and tidy, the stone surface has been stepped on extremely smooth.

On the left and right sides of the passage, there are a pair of square stone monuments, small at the top and large at the bottom, carved out of a single piece of granite, and filled with densely packed Shurima characters.

The record on the left is the history of the Shurima Empire for thousands of years. Conquering everywhere, expanding the territory, Shurima became the most powerful empire on the mainland.

The record on the right is the greatest emperor in the history of the Shurima Empire, Setaka, and the tragic Icathian War.

Going further inside is the gate of the temple.

A five-meter-high doorway opens in the center of the tall trapezoidal stone wall.

Two copper gates are inlaid in it.

The stone walls and gates are all covered with colorful reliefs, depicting great warriors of the gods, including the sculpture of Aatrox.

Pushing the door open, the hall is dark and oppressive, revealing a sense of mystery that cannot be pryed into.

"Prophet Zhou, I don't know about His Majesty's Ascension Ceremony, how sure is Prophet Zhou?"

With his hands behind his back, Xerath had a bit of a leadership demeanor. Although he was asking Du Wenkai a question, his eyes were always looking at the reliefs in the hall.

"This ascension ceremony is only allowed to succeed, not to fail." Aatrox hurriedly answered, looked at Du Wenkai, and said, "Prophet Zhou, Your Majesty is the emperor through the ages. There is no retreat at all in this ascension ceremony."

"Your emperor is going to die in more than ten days." Du Wenkai complained, but he did not dare to tell the truth. After all, there was the treacherous Zelas standing next to him.

Seeing that Aatrox was in such a hurry, he could only pretend to nod solemnly, "Don't worry, I will leave the ascension ceremony to me."

"Prophet Zhou, I am 100% assured!"

"boom!"

Aatrox's epee fell to the ground. If it weren't for the extraordinary material of the hall, it might have been smashed out of the hole.

But with this loud noise, Du Wenkai's gold coin income and expenditure details were smashed out.

[Attention from Aatrox, gold coins +100! 】
