Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Hahahahaha..."

Hearing Seraphine's very provocative words, Karthus was stunned for a moment, followed by a series of crazy laughter.

"Interesting...it's so interesting..."

"The beauty of the soul, how much do you know?"

"Sure enough, you are still too young now. You can only appreciate the true beauty of it if you have seen too many deaths, or even experienced death yourself."

"Death frees you from all pain, it lifts your vision beyond mundane things, and allows you to see the glory of eternal life. Embrace the beauty and wonder of death. Give up your mortal life. You don't need it. "

Saying that, the book in front of Karthus turned at an extremely fast speed.

One after another, the soul fangs and claws on it came out, biting towards Seraphine.

"That is?!"

Elise looked at the book suspiciously, and blurted out a name:

"Meja's Soul Stealing Scroll?"

She didn't associate this book with the legendary book before, but when a soul overflowed from it, she suddenly woke up.

Suddenly, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked at Seraphine's hand, where there was a similar book.

She had heard before that although His Majesty Ryan had never seen the Soul Stealing Scroll, he copied its effect and made a similar magic book.

The one in Seraphine's hands should be the one in the rumors.

"A duel between the fake and the real..."

As if hearing Elise's self-talk, Seraphine raised the corner of her mouth slightly and gently flipped the page in her hand.

Completely different from the evil spirits that rushed towards her, souls with normal expressions poured out from the pages, lined up in front of Seraphine with knives in hand, like well-trained guards to protect Seraphine. Ni's safety.

Soon, the two souls were fighting together.

One side fights with pain and instinct, while the other side is willingly driven to unite against the enemy.

The green resentful spirit and the golden good spirit, two completely different souls fought together.

Seraphine and Karthus looked at each other from a distance, as if they were two generals, each commanding his soldiers to charge towards each other.

"Ms. Elise, in your eyes, am I a fake?" Seraphine asked suddenly with interest.

Elise frowned slightly and quickly replied: "In terms of forming reasons, he is indeed a copy of Megha's work by His Majesty. But in your hands, it should be able to exert far more strength than the opponent."

"Oh no."

Seraphine opened her arms, and the Soul Stealing Scroll floated in the air, flashing with dazzling golden light.

The strong soul power spread out, adding to the good spirits who belonged to her, actually adding a set of golden armor to each of them.

The morale of Seraphine's side increased a little bit, plus the benefit of the equipment, it completely suppressed the evil spirits released by Karthus.

She raised her head, looked at the book in Karthus's hand, and said softly:

"The teacher said that Mejia is a great master. But even in the era of his existence, there are not many legends left. Instead, it is because of the Soul Stealing Scroll that Mejia's name has been passed down."

"This one of mine is different, it doesn't matter if it's weaker than Meja's. It was made by my teacher, Ryan Meredith, and this book was made by my teacher , it will surpass the one made by Meja."

"Besides, Meredith's Soul Stealing Scroll is not weak..."

Seraphine watched Karthus have to summon more evil spirits again, rubbed her fingers against the pages of the book, and said with a smile:

"Meja's Soul Stealing Scroll comes from a soul conjecture. If an item can absorb souls indefinitely, and then strengthen this power to someone, can it break the limits of human beings and transcend to the realm of demigods."

"Meja failed to prove this conjecture. Instead, Karthus used its power to reshape his body with the power of the Soul Stealing Scroll at the moment of his own death, and gained the power of a demigod after experiencing life and death."

"And this is the way of death for Karthus."

Karthus had never told her this way, but she had known it well long ago.

Whenever she recited the requiem, it was mixed with Karthus' will and his fervent quest for death.

It is also because of his passion for death and soul that he brought Meja's Soul Stealing Scroll to the extreme, and he has also come a long way on this road.

If this road were to throw away the humanity and the dark part, it might be a good road for her.

But unfortunately, as a student of Ryan, she has long understood her own path.

That's the exact opposite of the way of death, which requires savoring death, absorbing it, and chanting it.

And her path is to experience life, understand life, sing praises for the beauty of life, and realize the wishes of life.

The same is related to the soul and life and death, but the essence is completely different.

"Mr. Karthus, your Requiem has indeed inspired me a lot." Seraphine sighed in a low voice.

Naturally, she was not referring to the requiem that Karthus had adapted for killing people, but rather the requiem that first circulated in Noxus to soothe the soul.

Earlier at Orianna's ceremony, she first came into contact with the adapted Requiem, and with intuition and will, she changed the tune, making it 90% similar to the original.

At that time, she didn't know that the requiem after the adaptation and the previous Requiem came from one person.

When she was in the immortal fortress, she occasionally heard the former Requiem, and she was able to know the name of Karthus.

I also know very well that every time I recite the Requiem, the soul that I can perceive remotely is Karthus.

And this is also the path that the teacher arranged for her when they first met.

Seraphine watched the battle from afar, her mind was full of thoughts.

Teacher, although I know you don't mind what path your students take, perhaps in your eyes, only strength is everything.

But as your student, how could I choose the path that is smooth but will damage your image.

Whether by heart or because of Ryan, Seraphine would never go down the same path as Kael'thas.

And this answer was clearly conveyed to each other when she and Ryan first met.

"Meredith's Soul Stealing Scroll..."

Seraphine whispered softly:

"The biggest difference between it and Meja's Soul Stealing Scroll is that it is full of infinite possibilities. Meja originally created the Soul Stealing Scroll for promotion to a demigod, and its essence lies in stealing the power of others. , boosting the owner to reach a demigod."

"And Meredith's Soul Stealing Scroll is different. It is named after the Soul Stealing Scroll. But in my hands, it should be called... Meredith's Requiem Scroll."

"Because the teacher has a higher vision, he has long been not limited to the pursuit of strength. Each soul scroll represents the teacher's attainment of the way of the soul, and also has more possibilities."

When she whispered softly, the text on the cover of the soul scroll in her hand also changed slightly.

The words "Meredith's Soul Stealing Scroll" originally written in some ancient script were all changed to the script written in the Ouchen language.

It means:

Meredith's Requiem.
