Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

The topic of demons is widely circulated in Runeterra.

Silas also wondered how Noxus avoided their intrusion.

After actually dealing with demons, he believes that strength should only be part of dealing with them.

"Ionia is the birthplace of human beings, there are countless mysteries hidden there, the history of demons is far ahead of human beings, and those mysterious histories are not inferior, and demons cannot attract their special attention. As for Nok Sass..."

Seraphine smiled slightly, her tone paused, and then explained:

"More than one of the top ten demons has been defeated by us. This gives us rich experience in dealing with them. We don't regard demons as legends, but it is normal for monsters to invade the village."

Seraphine finished speaking seriously and looked at Silas.

Her tone was normal, without a trace of contempt, but anyone with long ears could understand that the meaning of this sentence was to say that other regions are not as good as Noxus.

Of course, in this day and age, Noxus is far stronger than the rest, and this is a fact recognized by everyone, even Demacia and Ionia.

Demacia's top combat power was completely defeated by Noxus, and even one was persuaded to vote.

The overall strength of Ionia is extremely strong, but until now there is no agreement between the provinces, and only when Noxus invades again will they hope to jointly defend the enemy.

"Extensive handling experience?"

Silas grasped the key words and quickly understood the potential meaning of the other party:

"What do you want?" he asked proactively.

"The Empire and Noxus are allies. Helping you is just a matter of hand." Seraphine shook her head and smiled, "My strength is very weak, so I can only help Miss Laxana, who is the main force in this demon hunt. ."

"Hmph, do you even know the news of her coming?" Silas raised his left eyebrow and snorted.

However, he didn't act too much. Silas was very aware of the prudence at this time. The evil effects of the current demons ravaging the village had already spread to Xiongdu.

This is the first major event of Laxana's tenure, and it must be handled properly. Now that the Noxians said they were experienced, he didn't mind giving them a sense of participation.

It is his duty to assist Laxana to solve things perfectly.

Seeing Silas' micro-expression, Seraphine waved her hand: "This is not the information we inquired about."

It's just the voice of your soul that has been shouting.

During the exchange between the two, Xin Zhao had already searched the entire Congjinpo Town by himself. At this time, he was walking out of the town along the path:

"I can't find any trace of it, it should have left."

After saving Silas and the others, Xin Zhao single-handedly rushed into the town.

The "Demon of Fear" uses fear as the root of its attack, and it is at least a close match against Xin Zhao, who is at the master level and has no flaws.

"Go away, the devil is gone!! God of Flying Wings! I'm still alive."

Hearing the news that the demon had left, Sadek took a few exaggerated breaths.

Although the fear in his heart had faded, he still felt hairy all over his body. He held down his trembling calf and looked at Seraphine who was stepping on the stage with a dazed gaze.

Singing... yes! Singing, Sadek recalled the feeling of being wrapped in happiness and beauty. His expression was full of gratitude and he looked at the girl. It would be nice if he could listen to such a happy singing again.

"There is no source of fear, so go away," Silas said.

"Yes, but...when fear reappears around here, it will come again."

Seraphine said regretfully, it's okay if they don't meet, their lineup is still too weak.

Before coming, the teacher secretly told her a message, which made her more curious about the Miss Laksana Crown Guard.

She was very interested in meeting each other.

The demon had already left, and the crowd did not stay too long. After Sadek said they had returned to their souls, the team led by Seraphine continued to move forward, with Poppy and Quinn taking care of Silas.

Da da da--

The sound of the carriage echoed in the forest, and the group passed through Jinpo Town and headed towards Sadvina City not far away.

That's where Silas and Laxana agreed to meet.

......

Western Shurima, deserts and wilderness.

Ryan was floating in the air, with the sun exuding infinite light and heat above his head, and the rolling gale was blowing from all directions, polishing the traces of the old times over and over again.

His position has special meaning, especially for the person in front of him.

Darkborn Aatrox was standing opposite him with a giant sword on his back. Ryan stood in the air and looked at each other, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a smile of greeting.

"Are you looking for me?"

Aatrox didn't say a word, just stared at him with those burning golden red eyes.

This is their second encounter.

Ryan Meredith.

This is not an ordinary mage name at the moment.

The name was, in this era, the equivalent of the Tsar of Shurima.

"It seems that you heard something from that tribe, and it's not wrong for you to lose." Ryan's eyes swept randomly over a certain part of Aatrox's body.

He was not surprised that the two met again.

That even included... Aatrox would lose an arm.

"Despicable Stars." Aktos snorted coldly.

"There are strong and weak Protoss, and War is the strongest among them. If you are in your prime, it's not difficult to kill him," Ryan said.

Not long ago, the Sand tribe that believed in the Ascended had a conflict with the barbarians at the foot of Mount Targon.

When the Sand tribe is in crisis, Aatrox takes action.

But when Aatrox was about to be slaughtered, the mortal possessed by the "war" appeared.

He was no match for Aatrox at first, but when he was about to fall, he ignited the star power of his body and the sky with his extraordinary consciousness. Aatrox's arm.

When Aatrox was furious and wanted to kill the mortal, the stars in the sky protected him, leaving him helpless.

"I feel the power of Twilight." Aatrox's golden pupils burned with anger.

"Anger doesn't solve the problem, or you wouldn't come to me, Aatrox," Ryan said calmly.

He's been wandering the Shurima region lately, and it's easy to spot him if you're willing.

Although he had an agreement with the stars, just because he wouldn't interfere with that person's growth trajectory doesn't mean he couldn't do something to Shurima.

"Let's join forces to pull the stars down from the sky." Aatrox waved his big hand, his tone a bit eager.

"Nice idea, but your strength is not enough." Ryan showed no mercy.

Even if the opponent used to be one of the most powerful ascenders, but now with this mortal body, he can't exert his true strength at all.

Aatrox stared deeply at Ryan. The journey of the Sand Tribe reminded him of many things.

Although many things have been erased by the void and the protoss, his glory as an ascendant has not been extinguished.

"what do you want?"

The first time I saw each other, it was no accident.

It's just that in the past, his mind was dominated by destruction and killing, and it was difficult to think about other things.

Ryan shook his head: "I admire the glory and prosperity of Shurima back then."

"What's the use of admiration, Shurima, it doesn't exist anymore!" Aatrox said coldly. He does not shy away from this statement, anyway, sooner or later the entire Runeterra will perish.

"What do you think of Azir?" Ryan asked rhetorically.

After he finished speaking, he motioned to the other side to look down.

The surroundings are still boundless yellow sand, but under the embellishment of sporadic weeds, there is something else.

It was a human creation, masonry and rotten wood, and the wreckage of the superstructure was half-covered and half-exposed in the yellow sand.

A few years ago, this piece of land was never buried under the yellow sand. It has a steady stream of clear water, clean and tidy streets, towering castles... There are children playing and slapsticking, and merchants and trade are endless.

It is a symbol of prosperity and glory, and it has a resounding name - the capital of Shurima.

However, time has passed and circumstances have changed.

At this moment, Ryan's feet are nothing but the old site surrounded by broken walls, revealing the vicissitudes and loneliness of the desert.

Even, this relic was only reappeared not long ago.

Aatrox's eyes were indifferent, and he also looked at the land in front of him. He rarely showed a careful and quiet look, and he was silent for a few seconds, showing nostalgia.

"Azir, a naive child."

He did not have much memory of the last Tsar Azir, but through the historical records of the Sand tribe and the vague memories in his mind, he had a very bad impression of Azir.

"According to my guess, Shurima's disintegration is not accidental." Ryan said calmly.

"That ascension ceremony?" Aatrox sneered.

Ryan nodded slightly: "A doomed ascension ceremony, whether or not the slave Xerath spoils the situation, the result is the same."

Aatrox grinned: "Those ignorant fools are immersed in the prosperity of Shurima, and no one realizes the unease of those scumbags in the sky."

The words he said included his former self.

"They came down from the sky, maybe for faith, maybe for fun, but in the end they all had a big impact on Runeterra."

Ryan reached out and gently stroked the glyphs on the stone beside him, as if he could feel the prosperity of that era.

"Shurima was founded under their influence, and then prospered because of the power they bestowed. But when a former servant has too much power, it always makes some beings uneasy."

The Battle of the Void, the beginning of Shurima's turn from prosperity to decline.

In that war, the powerful power of the Ascension God broke out, which shocked everyone and the Protoss.

It is precisely because the combined power of the Ascension Gods is too strong, and the death of the first Shurima queen Setaka, the Protoss feels more and more uneasy.

"Azir is a talented and ambitious emperor." Ryan expressed his approval to the last emperor, "If he succeeds in ascension, Shurima will enter its peak, even far beyond before. But unfortunately..."

Ryan shook his head slightly: "He put too much emphasis on Shurima and was too eager to get rid of the influence of the Protoss. The key to the ascension ceremony is in Shurima's hands, but the power that the Sun Disc can guide is said by the Protoss. Calculate."

According to historical records, because Xerath pushed Azir, who should have ascended, off the ascension platform, the solar disk was mutated, and the incomparably majestic energy was infused into Xerath's body.

Because this ascension ceremony should not belong to Xerath, the excess energy was distorted, destroying the entire Shurima capital in an instant.

But after his communication with Shurima's great scholar Nasus, he denied this statement.

Xerath considered this issue at the time. This was the key part of his plan for more than ten years. How could there be an accident.

And this accident was not accidental. From the beginning, this ascension ceremony was doomed to fail.

As long as the ascension ceremony begins, the vast ascension energy will be injected into the body of the person preparing for ascension in an instant, causing him to explode and die.

The rest will destroy all the Tsar's heirs along with the Shurima capital.

"So he died, and Ascension God and Shurima were slowly forgotten." Aatrox's eyes were filled with scorn.

As early as after Setaka's death, some disputes and conflicts began between Ascension Gods.

Some believe in imperial mandates, while others only honor Shurima.

"He's not dead, and if someone can restart this place with the key, Shurima will come back again."

Ryan's voice was flat, but it was like a thunderbolt, making Aatrox's eyes widen.

"Shurima..."

"I made an agreement with the Grand Maester to help him find the key and bring it over," Ryan said.

Aatrox's eyes returned to dullness, and he said indifferently: "What does this have to do with me, Nasus is a coward."

"Your body is too weak. When Shurima returns again, the ascension ceremony will start again, and the last tsar will return again." Ryan's tone was flat.

"Hmph, you are as despicable as a dirty star." Aatrox snorted coldly.

"But you need that power."

The corners of Ryan's mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't care about Aatrox's tone:

"Even if it lasted for thousands of years, the huge energy at that time has not dissipated. The ascension ceremony started again is enough to create a body beyond the past for you."

With the soul of vengeance, with the martial arts of the darkborn, and finally with the body of soaring.

This power is enough to rival the most shining star spirit in the future.

"exactly."

Aatrox gave Ryan a deep look:

"I do need the power, so what's the price! I don't believe in free benefits in this world, Meredith."

Ryan shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"Anyway, you were born in Runeterra, a member of humanity. We are fellow citizens, Aatrox."

Hearing Ryan's words~www.readwn.com~ Aatrox grinned first, then laughed:

"Hahaha!"

"Compatriots! Humans! In this world, it seems that someone really remembers those of us who have forgotten ourselves."

Aatrox got what he wanted and walked away satisfied.

Looking at his back, Ryan heard the words floating in the wind.

"I, Aatrox, will resist the stars in the sky for this land until I die!"

The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched slightly, and he bowed slightly in the direction he left.

Runeterra has never lived in peace. But here, there is never a shortage of heroes.

At the same time, his figure also moved forward step by step, quickly passing the land of Shurima.

Shurima is about to return.

He will have the greatest expectations for the once most powerful empire.
