Chapter 897: Void Burrowing Beast
Once upon a time, Kai'Sa was just an ordinary little girl in a village in southern Shurima.
She had no special background and had not received any warrior training. Her fate was completely changed when she was ten years old.
The nearby void was awakened, and a deep valley opened up in the bedrock of the earth, swallowing up Kassa and everyone in the village.
Everyone else died, only Kassadin bravely picked up the dagger and pierced the heart of a void spirit. The void spirit's shell accidentally fell on her body and became her weapon.
She did not become one of the void monsters, but gained the power of the void, growing from a frightened little girl into a brave warrior, and has been fighting with the void spirits in the gap between the two worlds, preventing the void from further devouring the world.
More than ten years have passed in a flash.
No one knows the Void better than she does, both its habits and the horrors of its monsters.
The reason why she was in this temporary tribe was because she was discovered by Taliyah when she was fighting underground. Taliyah saved her life and she was "requested" to recuperate here.
This half-human, half-monster body is always met with fear and rejection. Kassadin has long been accustomed to it, but Talia never showed a trace of disgust from beginning to end, which touched her a little.
Therefore, even if these people unknowingly rejected her advice, she still wanted to do her best to persuade them.
But Taliyah shook her head and said, "If we want to find a place for these people to live, Zoran is the most likely one. Their homes have been destroyed, and they need to see hope."
Kai'Sa didn't understand: "False hope can't save lives, Axe will kill everyone!"
Taliyah had heard of the legend of Ax'Sai. It was said that it was a group of little monsters born from the terrifying void monster Rek'Sai. Each of them had the ability to escape in the desert. Even a famous warrior would find it difficult to defeat one in a one-on-one fight.
She bit her lip and said firmly: "If Zoran is everyone's only hope, then I will at least lead everyone there!"
"...You're going to kill everyone."
"Then come with us, you can help protect everyone." Taliyah's eyes glowed with gold: "I have also fought against void monsters, I am a powerful mage!"
She held Kasa's arm and said, "Okay, sit down. This world will always belong to us humans, and not to the void monsters.
Do you know how powerful a truly powerful mage is? Four months ago..."
She began to tell about the battle she had "experienced". Kassa listened silently for a while, and sighed helplessly in her heart... Your story sounds even more outrageous than Zoran being a paradise on earth.
……
a few days later.
“I know Zoran because there was a special ascender who once walked out of Zoran, or maybe Zoran got his name because of her.”
Flying low over the desert, Qiyana explained to Ji Xing, "Zorani, the 'Sky Maiden', is one of the few Shurima Ascendants, besides Grand Maester Nasus and General Renekton, who did not fall into the Darkin and participate in the Darkin War.
She was active during the war between Shurima and the Void. She was the daughter of a healer and, with her outstanding medical skills, saved thousands of Shurima warriors. She was recognized by the Sun Disc and her ascension ceremony was presided over by Queen Setaka herself.
But in the later period...it is said that he was ambushed by a void monster and disappeared for hundreds of years. Maybe he died a long time ago?"
"I heard that there are many stonemasons there, carving a huge stone statue for Zolani. They believe that as long as the carving is successful, they can regain Zolani's protection." Sivir spread his hands and said, "But I guess it won't end well now. Instead of believing in those things, it's better to believe in the blade in your hand."
"Humph--"
A cold snort suddenly echoed, not from Ji Xing, but also not from the two girls.
Ji Xing tilted his head slightly to look at the Darkin Demon Sword on his back. Because it has life, it cannot be stored in the universal capsule and can only be carried with him.
It was placed under a shallow seal by Ji Xing and could not actively sense anything in the outside world, but Aatrox could still hear and speak.
"Why, you know her?"
Ji Xing teased, "One is a medical goddess, and the other is an ascended general who leads by example... Has she ever treated your injuries?"
"Ah, I have." Aatrox said in a cold voice, "We are old acquaintances. But the rumors outside are indeed mostly untrue. It's not that she didn't transform into a darkspawn, it's just that the transformation happened later. She also didn't suffer an attack from the void. It was me who almost killed her in Zoran."
"The angel Zolani has also become a darkborn?" Qiyana and Sivir looked surprised.
They didn't know what kind of agreement Ji Xing had reached with the legendary Darkin Sword Demon. In short, they often heard some little-known history from Aatrox in the past few months.
As they were about to arrive in Zolan, they were very interested in Zolani's story.
"She is indeed still alive." Aatrox set the tone first: "But the last time we met was more than three hundred years ago.
That was our first reunion after we escaped from the weapons that trapped us. In order to avenge the Twilight Aspect Maesa who plotted against us, we put aside our past grudges and attacked Mount Targon together.
In that battle, she used blood sorcery to devour the darkin Anaca and part of the power of the righteous Protoss Miscira, and was called the 'Bane of the Protoss' by those Protoss."
"The former medical goddess has fallen into the 'Bane of the Protoss' that attacks the Protoss of Mount Targon. The power of the Void is truly terrifying." Qiyana murmured. That is something that the Queen of Elements needs to fight against.
Aatrox snorted again, "Fallen? The world always thinks that the Protoss on the top of Mount Targon are the protectors of the world, but they never know the true face of those guys!
The stars that live in the heavens are different from humans. They are cold and cruel. Even if they come in the form of humans, they will gradually make the people they depend on lose their original emotions.
Twilight Star Spirit is a representative example. Whether it is Maisha who was killed by us in revenge in that war, or Zoe now, the most vicious hearts are hidden under their innocent faces! "
When it comes to the Protoss, Aatrox can never hide his disgust, or rather, he doesn't want to hide it, and it's not just because of the tragedy of the Demon Sword.
"The Protoss of Justice is one of the strongest Protoss." After a pause, Aatrox continued, "At least at that time, we should not be able to defeat her, even if it was her human incarnation.
But because Mysira realized that she was gradually losing her human emotions after becoming the incarnation of the Star Spirit of Justice, she divided part of her power to her two daughters in advance, which led to Zolani eventually absorbing part of her power.
If it weren't for the intervention of one of her daughters, Kayle, and a human mage named Ryze, we would have achieved a much greater victory and killed a few more Protoss."
Ryze is joining in the fun too?
Ji Xing was a little surprised. Wasn't he only interested in the World Rune? Or was there a reason why he had to intervene in that battle?
Qiyana said: "So the goddess... no, Zolani, the scourge of the stars, is still alive?"
"Perhaps he is hiding in a corner, trying to absorb the power of the Protoss of Justice." Aatrox snorted, "Or... he is dead."
It's the same as not saying anything.
Sivir shook her head speechlessly. The town of Zoran in the distance came into view, and the first thing she saw was the huge statue on the rock wall.
It is a hundred meters high and exquisitely carved, perfectly reproducing the temperament and figure of the goddess. The only thing missing is her face.
It was a faceless statue, perhaps because it was unfinished, or perhaps... the stonemasons did not know what Zolani looked like, so they did not dare to act rashly, and when they wanted to carve it, they no longer had the chance.
"Faceless God." Ji Xing had noticed it earlier and whispered in his heart, "This shape has a very ominous meaning no matter where it is."
Even Ji Xing felt a slight chill on his spine when he saw it. This was a very strange thing for him who had become stronger and began to condense the third rune, the rune of determination.
"The void?"
He cast his eyes downwards and said, "It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Control yourselves. I am going to speed up."
……
at the same time.
Taliyah and Kaisa, who walked into Zoran side by side, did not notice the three people in the sky in the distance.
They experienced many dangers during their journey in the past few days and were attacked by many void monsters. In the end, they had to let those ordinary people stay in a relatively safe place and wait for the two of them to come to Zolan first.
Upon entering Zolan, Taliyah was deeply delighted by the green mountains, clear waters and neat houses here, but as she walked through the streets, her heart sank gradually. It seemed that... there was no one here?
There is no trace of human life!
The face of that faceless god isn’t even finished… where have all the people gone?
Kassadin had already assumed combat posture, guarding every blind spot around him, until the two of them walked to an open area and saw some signs of ruin after the disaster.
Judging from the soil, there should have been a lake ahead, but it has dried up long ago, leaving many cracks on the ground that do not seem to be caused by drought.
more like...
Kassa, who was analyzing the situation, suddenly had a changed expression and pushed Taliyah away fiercely.
Boom!
The next moment, the ground behind the two of them suddenly cracked open, and a giant void beast emerged from the soil and charged towards them fiercely!
Taliyah screamed that she was hit by a bullet far away and did not suffer much damage, but Kassadin vomited blood and flew out.
Fortunately, the armor obtained from the void protected her body and prevented her from being torn into pieces by the mountain-like impact. In mid-air, her face was covered by a void mask and she entered combat state!
The wing-like pod behind her vibrated, and Kassadin twisted her body to face the void monster that continued to rush towards her after failing to hit her.
It is huge in size, with the length of its upper body just breaking out of the ground exceeding 10 meters. It looks like a reptile that is a fusion of an insect and a beast.
Its body is covered with a hard carapace, the color of which is a deep purple that matches the void. Its strong and powerful limbs have huge claws that can tear all prey into pieces. Its head is obviously unusually large and covered with hard keratin and barbs.
Compared with the void monsters that Kassadin had dealt with before, it was like the ancestor of all monsters, containing an oppressive force that Kassadin had never experienced before!
"Is it the Void Burrower Rek'Sai?!"
Kassa gritted her teeth, and the void crystal embedded in the pod heated up to the extreme temperature, and plasma missiles were fired out as she stretched out her hands.
But this missile, which was capable of shattering rocks and killing ordinary void monsters, only caused a slight dent in Rek'Sai's shell when it hit him, and it returned to its original shape in a second under the power of the void!
The pain angered the monster, and it let out a horrible howl and got closer and closer to Kassadin.
At the critical moment, a sharp stone spike rose from the ground and exploded when it pierced Rek'Sai's "belly", finally stopping it.
Kasa took the opportunity to twist her body and flew to Taliyah. Looking at the monster that was unharmed and had purple eyes looking at her fiercely, Kasa said in a cold voice: "Listen, Taliyah!
We even had a hard time dealing with her child, Aixai, so we are definitely no match for this guy! I will find a way to lure her away later, and you can take the opportunity to escape! Without you as a burden, I can do it on my own, just like I have done all these years!"
Taliyah bit her lower lip hard.
Rek'Sai came crashing in, and the two girls jumped away in both directions. Kai'Sa launched a frantic attack on Rek'Sai, but Taliyah did not obey and quickly mobilized her earth spear and earth spikes.
She wouldn't believe it. If Kassa could escape from this thing, she wouldn't have been saved by herself on the night they first met!
"Taliyah!" Kassa was anxious.
At the same time, she suddenly felt the air getting hot, as if it was raining fire from the sky, and the temperature suddenly rose by more than ten degrees!
She looked up in surprise, her eyes wide open.
A huge fireball with a diameter of more than five meters fell from the sky and hit Rek'Sai directly on the back!
"Roar~!" With a shrill scream, Rek'Sai was knocked back and forth, his shell melted and damaged a little. Another cross blade came flying and took the opportunity to cut into Rek'Sai's flesh and blood, causing serious damage to it, and then flew back in a circle!
Two women with typical Shuriman features fell from the sky and landed next to Taliyah, leaving her with a look of surprise.
"Qiana! Xiweier! Why are you here?" She said happily: "Wait, you are here, could it be that Mr. Xiweier is also..."
Know them? I seem to have heard these two names from Taliyah? Is it that story? They are very powerful. If we join forces, maybe...
As soon as this thought flashed through Kassa's mind, she noticed the ground shaking slightly, and with a crackling sound, holes appeared one after another!
"not good!"
Hundreds of little Rek'Sai, or Axe, emerged from the ground and surrounded the four people! Kai'Sa immediately gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to kill Rek'Sai and shouted quickly, "Run!"
Taliyah and the other two were unusually calm. Qiyana looked up and said, "Okay, we've lured them all out!"
Kassa was startled and looked up.
A man with a giant petrified sword on his back was suspended in the air, raising his arms.
A breeze blew by, and hundreds of Ax'Sai and even the giant Rek'Sai flew up. The originally hideous and terrifying void monsters were restrained by an invisible force, like pitiful crying babies!
Kai'Sa heard pleading and fear in Rek'Sai's howls. When they rose to the point where even Rek'Sai became a small black dot in his sight, the man flying in the air clasped his arms towards the center.
hum-
The diamond-shaped explosion flashed and disappeared.
Amid the whistling wind, a huge claw quickly enlarged in Kassadin's sight, until it pierced through the earth with a loud bang!
Kaisa knew that it was Rek'Sai's claw, and it was probably the last trace of the Void Burrower Rek'Sai left in this world.
“That’s not a story.” She murmured, “A wizard…more powerful than the Ascended?”
