The fire mage from the game world

While Chen Yi and the Fire Dragon were slaughtering the Star Spirits, Qiuka quietly arrived at the location Azir had mentioned.

To prevent the knowledge of the Ascension Ritual from being lost, the solar priests of ancient Shurima secretly engraved this knowledge on stone tablets and maintained them with magic.

Qiuka pushed open a stone slab and entered the underground chamber below.

The room, unopened for thousands of years, was filled with air as stagnant as death, like a prison.

And Qiuka's arrival released these prisoners.

Qiuka looked around: "It's not here. Could that... what's-his-name Az-something-or-other have tricked us?"

"I don't think so."

A male voice suddenly appeared, his tone calm but as if suppressing something.

Qiuka pouted: "Then where do you say it is?"

Suddenly remembering something, Qiuka turned stiffly, like a malfunctioning robot, to look to the side.

It was a male figure covered in crimson, with an inescapable scent of blood about him.

Aatrox smiled, though his smile was somewhat sinister: "Oh, a little kitty. What are you looking for?"

.......

Chen Yi happily collected the corpses and three treasure chests: two Epic chests with red light, and one Legendary chest with pink light.

This game was not a war mission, but a trial mission.

Although he didn't know the difference between a trial mission and a regular mission,

it could drop copper coins, equipment, and treasure chests.

It had to be said that the drop rate of these gods was indeed high.

In the game world, with its terrible drop rates, the drop rate for killing weaker enemies would be infinitely reduced, except for powerful enemies.

Yet ten Star Spirits provided Chen Yi with three treasure chests.

After the Star Spirits died, Chen Yi unlocked a special shop called [Divinity Shop].

Only by killing gods above the Celestial Tribulation level could Divinity be dropped, making it a unique form of currency.

Before Chen Yi could open the [Divinity Shop] to check it out, the main event arrived.

Chen Yi suppressed the unusually active [Chains of Heaven] and [Godslayer], and looked towards the sky.

A middle-aged man with a treacherous aura appeared, with rat-like whiskers on his face: "Oh dear, oh dear, this is a headache. How can a mercenary kill his own employer?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am the Star Spirit of Deceit—Haphrael Marx."

How interesting.

The Star Spirit of Deceit disguised himself as the Star Spirit of Allure, and the Star Spirit of Allure disguised herself as the Star Spirit of Deceit.

They thought their disguise was good, but they couldn't fool Chen Yi's eyes.

Beside him was a being like a little girl: "I am the Twilight Star Spirit, Zoe. By the way, what's your name? Oh right, I remember, your name is Rowan Yi."

"A very nice name. Can we be friends?"

"But you killed Star Spirits, that's really bad."

As for the Twilight Star Spirit, who looked like a human little girl, she seemed harmless and somewhat talkative, her lively appearance inspiring goodwill.

He should kill them first.

If she was really as harmless as she appeared, she wouldn't be here.

Her presence could only mean that she was very good at disguising herself.

Or rather, she believed that what she was doing was not wrong.

Beneath the cute exterior was pure, unadulterated evil.

These two Star Spirits came neither early nor late, appearing only after Chen Yi killed ten Star Spirits.

Whether it was using a knife to kill someone, or for other purposes, Chen Yi was too lazy to participate.

"The law doesn't say that employers can't attack mercenaries."

The Star Spirit of Allure, disguised as the Star Spirit of Deceit, feigned realization: "You have a point, but human laws don't apply to gods."

"So... please die for me, okay?"

In that instant, Runeterra was rejecting Chen Yi.

Die!

Die!

Die for her!

The air, the light, the soil all seemed to become the Star Spirit of Allure's most loyal lackeys.

They resisted Chen Yi.

They misled Chen Yi.

No wonder these two Star Spirits dared to disguise themselves as each other. Their inner powers were different, but their expressions were very similar.

Just then, an angry shout came.

"Twilight Star Spirit!"

"You deserve to die!"

A warrior covered in crimson flew from a corner of the Sun City, with Qiuka, on the verge of tears, on the warrior's head.

Couldn't he have waited a little longer? He hadn't taken the stuff yet!

Aatrox, originally of ordinary human height, rapidly increased in size, and the sword in his hand did the same, the fleshy part in the center of the sword pulsing rapidly like a heart.

His aura, less than Rank 4, continuously climbed, directly reaching the limit of the law's suppression, Level 59.

The power of Ascension.

Once a noble celestial warrior.

Now imprisoned in a sword.

How agonizing were the years of being imprisoned in this sword?

And now, the person who turned him into a prisoner appeared before him, how could he not be furious?

"I know you did it! Deceiver!"

"You provided the tools to imprison me! Come! Letting me kill you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!!!!!"

The giant blade swept across, and the Twilight Star Spirit appeared on the other side.

For Aatrox, the battle of revenge was like play in the eyes of the Twilight Star Spirit: "Haha, over here, over here."

Qiuka disappeared from Aatrox's head, teleporting to the [Finale of Fire].

Facing Chen Yi's gaze, Qiuka lowered his head: "I didn't get it all, a part is missing."

"I was really close! So close... to taking it all."

"It's all that guy's fault for suddenly flying away, smashing the remaining stone tablets to pieces."

This couldn't really be blamed on Qiuka.

After learning about Azir's information, Qiuka had rushed to the coordinates non-stop.

But he happened to encounter Aatrox.

Aatrox was not interested in the stone tablets imprinted with Ascension technology.

But then the Twilight Star Spirit Zoe appeared, and Aatrox, blinded by hatred, directly broke through the underground chamber and rushed out.

What followed was as Qiuka described.

Qiuka vigorously patted his cat paw. If he had been a little faster, that would have been great. He was just a little short of taking all the stone tablets.

Chen Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He had calculated everything he could.

Falsifying the Sun City, drawing out beings related to ancient Shurima.

Then using Azir's projection to get Zilean to talk.

And then using Zilean to lure away Nilah, who claimed to be the Star Spirit of Allure.

Finally, probing the corruption from Azir's mouth. In Chen Yi's view, this corruption was likely related to his mission, and also likely related to the prophecy.

The results of so much calculation were twofold.

One was obtaining information about the Void Watchers, and the other was knowledge of the Ascension Ritual.

The Ascension Ritual could only be considered a byproduct. It wouldn't be a pity if he didn't get it, because this thing hadn't fallen into Chen Yi's hands yet.

But Chen Yi just felt like he had lost money.
