he came from the void

He saw his mortal body, rising in midair, close to the sun disk, arms outstretched, arched back.He remembered this moment, when the golden light from the sun disc shone on the altar, and the power penetrated him, merged with his existence, and injected divine power into his body.

And at this moment, a figure formed by dust appeared.

This is his most trusted servant, his wizard, Xerath.

Xerath acted without warning, and Azir saw himself being pushed off the altar, shattered like glass, and exploded into dust like fine sand.Xerath, who had stolen the power of ascension, completed the ascension instead of him, and the rays of the sun infused him, reshaping his flesh and blood into the body of an ascender.

However, because of this move, it led to disastrous consequences.This power does not belong to Xerath and does not recognize Xerath. The uncontrolled power of the sun was released and exploded into a shock wave that swept across the city.

Unseen energies first destroyed and reduced the elite guards rushing towards Xerath to ashes; There is his family.

His pregnant wife, grown son, and shy daughter were all destroyed by the shock wave and vanished into thin air.

This unbearable weight, even if it was scaled countless times, still made him kneel down limply.

The sand and dust continued to evolve, and the faces of the people who witnessed the usurpation of power from a distance were no longer joyful. They fled from the direction of the sun disc in horror, but they were instantly obliterated by an invisible energy and turned into dust gone With the Wind.

Only Xerath was left, sucking the power of the sun over the city until his flesh was consumed and reshaped into a gleaming vortex of arcane energy.

A violent blast of dust burst forth, shattering the last vestiges of Shurima.In the hopeless silence, Azir stood alone among the echoes of the past, dust settled.

He didn't understand that he had given Xerath everything he wanted, was promoted from slave to minister, and finally abolished slavery for him, but he was still betrayed by Xerath.

And this betrayal caused an emperor to lose everything he owned, including family, love, friendship, strength, and even life... a whole city was buried with him.

The great civilization of Shurima fell, a thing of the past, buried in the wind and sand.

Time has transformed Shurima beyond recognition, erasing all memory of victories and defeats, leaving only legends.

No one knows the extent of this empire, which once stretched from one sea to another, spanning the entire continent; no one knows that golden outposts were built in the jungles of the east, and that the governors of three parts of the continent would offer taxes and warriors to the capital Wealth flows to the treasury like a river of gold.No one knew that in the empire of Shurima, a hundred languages ​​were spoken, and more art, music, and culture.

And all of this is due to Xerath's betrayal.

"Xerath," his voice was hoarse with anger. "Your sin is unforgivable."

Azir stood up, and a force lifted him into the air.As he spread his hands, the entire Dawn Oasis rose again under his newfound strength.

The earth was split open, the wind and sand poured out, and the ancient city of Shurima rose from the grave, shaking the yellow sand, and the huge golden disc shone with the sacred sun, crowning the capital.

……

The battlefield of the two gods was moved by Ryze to the ruins of the Dawn Oasis. Their bodies recast by the sun magic made them firm-willed and unaffected by the teleportation, and they continued to fight immediately after the shift.Ryze stood not far away and watched.

Under the scorching sun, the collision of huge weapons and the confrontation of strength caused the two beast-headed gods to fly sand and stones under their feet.The grains of sand were shaken up into the air, and then they were sucked into it by the furious storm, surrounding the god of heaven.

Renekton roared furiously, and the sand grains in the entire sand sea were beating, bullying like a real sea.The sand formed a huge wave to lift him up, and he drilled in front of Nasus with a death auger, with a speed far exceeding the limit that his huge body should have.

He swung the crescent ax blade, and the blade hit the chest, cutting Nasus' chest repeatedly.The breastplate exploded under the momentum, and Nasus groaned and staggered back a few steps.Then Renekton turned around again, and the knife and ax swept towards Nasus' neck.

Chapter 585 Arcane Showdown

Nasus rolled aside, avoiding the beheading blow.Then he thrust out an axe, unleashing a withering power.

The magic in Renekton's body was suppressed, and his huge body crashed to the ground, but the crimson anger burning in his eyes was still blazing.

He stood up again with a roar, and a pillar of fire rose from his feet.Renekton screamed wildly, as if being thrown into the core of the sun, the gilded armor melted into golden droplets, and the hard scales curled up.

He was hurt and angry, but the pain was cut off by a strong desire for revenge.He took off his armor and leaped into the air, spun around in the air, and slashed down heavily with the crescent moon knife and ax in his hand.

Nasus squinted and looked up at Renekton's figure.The huge body covered the sky and the sun, and the knife and ax in his hand were like the shadow of a solar eclipse, splitting the sun and about to land on the centerline of his head.

He knew that he couldn't withstand this blow. Years passed, Nasus exiled himself in the yellow sand, Renekton also committed himself to the darkness, the strength of both of them was not as good as before.He couldn't help but think back to the station in the Nasramme fire, when the power of the two was at its peak, and Renekton wasn't as stubborn as he is now.

Nasus dodged the blow, and Renekton slashed to the ground, shaking up a large curtain of sand, blocking the two of them.Just when Nasus was retreating, Renekton broke through the sand curtain and rushed forward. The knife and ax were only a horse away from Nasus' eyes. He could feel the pain when the wind cut his skin, which was very important for the Ascended It's very, very close.

Nasus was caught off guard, and his cheek was deeply cut by the knife.Renekton succeeded in one blow and did not retreat, but was struck by Nasus with both hands, breaking several ribs.

This force made Renekton stop, this was a pain he hadn't known for hundreds of years.His body was shaking, as if he was reliving intermittent memories, scenes of countless victories and battle deaths, and those past events that have long been dusty in history.

"Rekton, what are you hesitating about? Kill this coward who locked us underground!" But at this moment, the voice of the Whisperer brought his will back into the silent darkness like a mausoleum.

Renekton's eyes were blinded by darkness, and he remembered that he still had unshed blood, and still had unquenched hatred.He only saw the face of the wolf dog that drove him into the dark mausoleum, and his hatred and anger made him burn with anger and boil all over his body.

"My brother, how can I wake you up."

Seeing that something was wrong, Nasus held the battle ax in both hands, the sapphire on the top drank the sunlight, and slashed at Renekton with all his strength.Renekton raised his knife and ax to resist, but the weapon was sent flying.But then, with a sweep of his tail, Nasus' tomahawk was also knocked out of his hand.

He lunged at the source of his torment, and the two of them collided with destructive energy.A magical shock wave exploded, and the desert opened up a huge wave centered on the two of them.

Renekton wrestled with Nasus with both arms, and the fight turned into a hand-to-hand fight.The two wrestled together, Renekton bit Nasus's shoulder with his bloody mouth, Nasus raised his head to the sun and let out a painful roar, his knees hit Renekton's waist continuously...

Wu Ling laughed wantonly, flew out from the ruins of the ancient city, and came to the sky above the battlefield, like a ball of white flames.

He never thought of making it easier for either side. No matter who wins, it will definitely make Nasus suffer mentally.Then he made another move, turning the Ascender into something that only existed in legends, enjoying the immortal godhead all to himself.

Then, Xerath turned his attention to Ryze.

The cold stare immediately made Ryze feel pressured. The last time he met such a powerful opponent was the apprentice he picked up from the extreme arctic ice field.He was so dull and weak, but because of a world rune, he fell into a powerful spirit body of flames and rage, just like Xerath in front of him.

"Mortal. You should be honored to be the first person I have killed since I was imprisoned for tens of thousands of years." Xerath's eyes were burning, and tongues of fire surged from the corners of his eyes, and they continued to scatter out like fireflies.

After he turned into a witch spirit, he was imprisoned in the emperor's tomb jointly by Nasus and Renekton.Strictly speaking, if the catastrophe of the death of the whole city was attributed to his actions when he was a human, then he has not used the power of ascension he obtained to kill anyone with his own hands.

"If I crush you, it's as simple as crushing an ant to death, but I will give you a chance to escape——as long as you can escape the confines of this city, I will let you live." Xerath's body was The sun burns brighter and brighter, like the sun is in the sky.

Ryze looked around and knew immediately that Xerath's promise was a trap.It was noon at this time, and the sun was in the sky. The marble slabs of the Huancheng Dam were scalding hot, and it didn't take long for the skin and flesh to stick to it, and you could hear the scorching sound.

Apparently, Xerath's purpose was to lure him to step on these hot slabs and torture his body.Because he was worried that he would destroy Ryze to nothing with one gesture, so that he would not be able to experience the fun of torture.

"If you want to fight, fight, don't talk nonsense." The inscriptions on the skin of Ruiz's whole body lit up, and his eyes were also occupied by arcane light, which made him look even more weird.

"I don't know good from bad." Xerath snorted coldly.

Foehn was blowing around Wu Ling, and the heat in the air was enough to soften human flesh into pulp and turn blood into ashes.The foehn blows on Ryze's skin, and the sand grains under his feet immediately melt into sparkling glass, reflecting brilliant light in the sun.

Ryze should have been dissolved into particles finer than sand grains, but now his body has not suffered any substantial damage other than a little hot.

The magical power he absorbs twists and prolongs his life, and he uses it to strengthen his own body.But more importantly, the weight he carried that day made the heat of Shurima seem insignificant.

Ryze raised a hand and gestured, as if kneading a ball of clay.

A faint hum sounded in the air, the tone was continuous and harmonious.The magic power between heaven and earth turned into mist and coiled between his fingers, and then gathered into an arcane magic ball, curled up in his hand, boiling, and constantly overflowing his palm, as if it was about to escape at any time.

Ryze didn't keep the arcane ball, and immediately threw it at Xerath who was in mid-air.

"Is this the only trick you know?" Xerath didn't dodge, just stretched out a finger, and a crackling lightning came out.Lightning struck the orb, annihilating it in mid-air with little effort.

Then the arcane fire was generated in Xerath's chest, turning into a series of dazzling comets, which were thrown towards Ryze.

Seeing the arcane comet that was bigger than his whole body, Ryze's expression changed, and he ran away.

Chapter 586

Ryze spread his legs and ran wildly, and a series of dazzling comets fell one after another on the footprints behind him.Although they have cold flames, they can still burn.

The sand was burnt into the shape of glazed glass at an unimaginable high temperature, reflecting dreamlike colors under the sunlight.

Ryze didn't dare to stay, and dodged another series of screaming white light balls one after another, not forgetting to fight back with arcane balls during the dodging process.Xerath laughed loudly, and his limbs threw lightning continuously, and those arcs instantly bit Ryze like a snake, beating his skin black and smoking.

Xerath was very powerful when he was still a mortal. With the help of the power of his favorite, he was exposed to and learned a lot of dark witchcraft magic, combined with the gods of the Ascendant, he was almost invincible.Judging from the current performance, it was like rubbing Ryze on the ground.

Ryze looked at the sky, and Xerath, who was in full swing, was as dazzling as a new star.He pursed his dry lips, raised his hand and released all the seals.A circle of light appeared out of thin air around Xerath, and he who was broken from the air immediately smashed down like a comet on fire.Ryze released a few magic balls one after another to make matters worse, and Xerath, who was imprisoned and unable to fight back, was in pain and anger, and couldn't help roaring.

Enraged, Xerath rushed forward, fiery rays of light shot from his crackling limbs.Ryze channeled the raw power of creation to form a mirrored shield around him, reflecting Xerath's scorching rays back.Xerath was too close to avoid being shot in the chest.

Under the continuous exposure of the light, the rings of Xerath's iron chain were fused.

A large amount of magic power leaked, and a huge magic explosion occurred in Xerath's body, and he himself was thrown to the ground by the shock wave generated by the explosion and smashed into the dam.A landslide occurred in the upper layer of sand, and it flowed down to bury him.

Ryze squinted his eyes and stared at the place where Xerath fell, knowing very well that the cause of the matter had not been resolved.But he found the weakness of the ancient witch spirits, that is, the chains on Xerath's body-these terrible powers of the witch spirits survived.

After a while, the sand was filled with cold light, as if a supernova had exploded.Xerath came out of the shadows and floated into the air, the flames on his body burning more violently.

"Mortal, do you think you have found the trick? That means I haven't shown my true strength yet." He looked down at Ryze, his gaze burning like a tongue of fire.Anger came in like a Mountain Dew.

"Then what are you trying to hide?" Ryze felt his skin hurt like being burned, but he still opened his mouth and said sarcastically, he wanted to delay as much as possible.

"I don't need to hide, I am the embodiment of magic! The charm of magic belongs to me alone!" Xerath stretched his limbs, chest out, and back arched.The previous fragments that made up his body scattered, and he became a glistening vortex of energy, from which crackling lightning and large balls of incandescent flames were constantly shooting out, as well as laughter that was almost crazy and absolutely confident.

A gust of foehn was blowing, Ryze raised his arms to block the dazzling light, and the soles of his feet had been burned by the hot ground until blisters appeared.

"Magic doesn't belong to anyone, you are just driving magic. A real mage doesn't force his thoughts into this kind of primordial power. It's rude, clumsy and barbaric, just like a barbarian."

Ryze felt contempt for Xerath's arrogant statement.There will always be people who want to tame magic, but that's just the wrong idea.

"Some people are as hard as iron, or have limited imagination. They can arrange the magical energy flowing between the interfaces, and transform and control magic according to their own abilities. They are like seeing the outside world through the cracks in the wall." Sunshine, marvel at the sight of light seeping into a dark cell. But they could go outside and marvel in the blinding daylight."

"There are those who touch the edge of magic through repeated rituals and established customs. And all who rely on rituals, talismans, and spellbooks. They have only erected a barrier to separate themselves from purer powers .”

"And you are not much better than them, just because the magic power in your body is much higher than that of the outside world, and you just throw the magic out like throwing mud, and you haven't shaped them into more powerful spells with more wonderful effects. You Trying to keep the magic in your body just proves that you are just a container of magic, not a master of it."

"Yes, ignorant mortals dare to teach me." The fragments of the sarcophagus formed a humanoid form again, and the chains burned with deadly flames.Xerath's chest was full of arcane fire, lingering, and his voice was full of menace.

Ryze stretched out an arm and pointed it at Xerath's chest. He pushed hard, and the arcane fire gradually thinned and became invisible.The sound gradually weakened and returned to silence.

Although he has to work very hard to counteract the magic that Xerath can emit with a single thought, this just proves that his understanding of magic is superior to that of Xerath, but he is limited by a mortal body, and his strength cannot be compared with witch spirits .

"The person Nasus found still has two brushes. Don't think I can't see that you are delaying time." The witch spirit floated in, staring at Ryze with burning eyes, liquid flames dripping from his fingertips, Want to assimilate him with vicious witchcraft.

Ryze was caught off guard, and the blue fire of Xerath's will was burning in his eyes. This was the black witchcraft he used to brainwash Renekton back then, otherwise how could he distort the Ascended's past glory with just a few words.

But Ryze blinked hard, and then regained control of his body.Then Xerath found that his will was as strong as an impenetrable wall, no matter what he did, he couldn't penetrate it.

In anger, Xerath used magic to lift Ryze high into the sky, and coerced Ryze to submit to him with words.But Ryze refused to give in and was smashed into the riverbed of the ancient city.

Ryze, who was panting, had only one last move left. Only by using the world rune could he defeat Xerath.But he must not cross the final bottom line. The devastating disaster caused by the rune is vivid in his mind. He cannot use the power of the world rune, otherwise he is very likely to become a walking dead dominated by the will of the rune.

Even if he dies, he will take the secret with him to the grave.

Xerath blasted the arch bridge above Ryze with all his strength, his body shining brighter than a sun disc.A string of white flames ignited, and the unsupported bridge rumbled and gradually tilted.There was another big flash of lightning, the bridge completely collapsed, huge rubble fell like a torrential rain, and the huge arch bridge that could accommodate ten carriages passing side by side collapsed, burying Ruiz in the long-dried riverbed that only had yellow sand.

Chapter 587 The Ancient City Revival

After finishing Ryze, Xerath turned his attention to Nasus and the Renekton brothers.

Although their bodies were full of scars and their fascia was broken, the sun magic that had recast their bodies was bringing together the broken bones in their bodies, constantly repairing their injuries.The battle is fierce, but the winner will not be easily determined in a short time.

But he is more optimistic about Renekton, and his strong desire for revenge will overwhelm Nasus.In the dark mausoleum, he heard Renekton weeping frantically and promised him that he would tear off Nasus' limbs one by one.

Renekton attacked frantically, his claws forcibly gouged out a piece of flesh from Nasus' thigh.Nasus screamed in pain, and the more he screamed, the more bloodthirsty Renekton became, and the more Xerath enjoyed himself.

He knocked Renekton's head hard with his elbow, then went around and hugged his tail, lifted it into the air and spun it around to throw it out.Renekton stopped after bumping into the pillars of the dam, and the huge boulders hit him, raising dust that covered the sky, and the muscles and bones forged by the scorching sun were easily broken like rotten wood.

Renekton fell to the ground, Nasus wanted to take the opportunity to talk to his brother, but Xerath saw through his intention.An arcane comet burning with cold flames hit him, and the unbearable pain made him kneel on the ground.

He raised his head and looked at the glowing energy aggregate in midair.An Ascendant who stole the power of the sun, but also mastered the essence of dark magic.

"Your power belongs to Azir." Nasus said angrily, "You are not the one chosen by the sun."

"Neither Renekton." Xerath smiled darkly, and then projected a series of white flames, Nasus tried his best to block, but couldn't block all of them, and his injuries became more and more serious.

"He's far more noble than you," Nasus gritted his teeth.

He still remembers the scene of Renekton not hesitating to take the risk of being bestowed by the holy light to death, and carrying him on his back to the altar, who was too weak to walk.How could such a noble and righteous Renekton be comparable to a treacherous and despicable villain like Xerath.

"Oh, is it?" Following Xerath's sarcasm, Renekton opened his eyes burning with red anger again, shook off the boulders and dust on his body, stood up again, and turned his hatred gaze Cast to Nasus.

"Have you ever thought that it was Renekton who took away the divine power that was originally given to you? What caused you to fall into this situation now. If he hadn't appeared on the altar of ascension back then, taking away the sun disc would have hurt you a lot. Gift, then you don't have to face a wild beast that only wants to kill you now, maybe you can easily defeat me."

Xerath floated over Nasus's head. He was only the size of Nasus's normal state, but he could trample Nasus as big as a mountain under his feet.There are some ascenders who cannot be enlarged and can only maintain their normal size, but Xerath is not among them. His ascension is not considered a success, but the results are not bad.

"I have never regretted it." Nasus knew that Xerath was trying to provoke the feelings between their brothers, but he would not let it be easily persuaded. In his heart, he always believed that Renekton still remembered a proud warrior.

"Would you still say that when your beloved siblings tear off all your limbs and throw them into the tomb until you die? Thousands of years of darkness, you have no idea what we have experienced underground torment,"

Renekton approached with his scarred body, his huge tail sweeping behind him, his eyes completely lacked the glory of the past that Nasus spoke of, only the endless darkness that Xerath imposed on him.

He has abandoned the light to become an ally of the dark.

"I will be with you to the end." Nasus told him what he had said to himself, as he walked towards the altar behind his back.Even now, these words can still easily cut into his heart, hurting more than any sharp knife.

This sentence made Renekton stop when he walked up to Nasus, then turned his head and walked away.But he went to pick up the crescent moon knife and ax he had stuck in the ground, and then walked towards Nasus again.

Nothing could be more desperate than this, and Nasus reluctantly accepted the reality.

At this moment, the ground trembled violently, and everyone looked in the direction of the ruins of the capital.

Under the sand dunes, something huge and unprecedented was rising, and the magnitude was unimaginable.

As the grains of sand poured down like a waterfall, everyone saw what was hidden under the yellow sand—the ground cracked, and the wind and sand poured out.A mighty city rose from the grave, bathed in Shurima's sun once more.

The megalithic pillars that were knocked down by the wind or hit by the battle just now stood up again, and all the sand accumulated on the dam for many years also flowed into the river bed, and it was unknown where it was discharged.The arch bridge that Xerath had just destroyed was also restored. Huge stones were lifted into the air one by one, and the shape of the arch bridge was reassembled. The pulsations of sunlight lit up at the cracks. When the light faded, the arch bridge became even bigger than its original appearance. New, as if thousands of years of wind and sand erosion have been erased.
