Chapter 57: The Heart of Nasus
Nasus strode towards the Toba Priesthood below the disc, his muscular body naturally caught everyone's attention, and soon a group of armed guards appeared outside the crowd. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Nasus was dismissive of this, and in his eyes there was nothing but anger and renewed dignity.
Since Shurima has been reborn, how can he continue to be depressed?
"Who are you?"
Beside the Toba priesthood stood two guards, dressed in fitted armor made of copper sheets and animal-shaped helmets covered with feathers, guarding the Toba priesthood's left and right. Nasus recognized what their helmets represented, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but grow.
The two helmets depict the beast's protruding muzzle, one a roaring jackal, and the brim of the other's hat resembling a crude mimicry of a crocodile's long snout.
These two beast heads symbolize the two most powerful ascended beings of the Ancient Shurima Empire: he, Nasus, and his brother, Renekton!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Nasus tore off the cloth on his body in the shock of the Toba priesthood and guards, as well as the exclamations of everyone, and ripped off the fig leaf that had covered his thousand years.
Standing in front of the guards, Nasus is the deity of divine power and magic. He existed as an ascended man long ago when the heroes were still walking among mortals, his body sublimated by the magic of the solar disc, his withered and dying flesh transformed into an obsidian-like jackal-headed demigod with an obsidian body, his chest and shoulders covered with the vicissitudes of gold armor, and the votish girdle with the Shurima coat of arms.
He reached out and ripped off the strip of cloth wrapped around the "cane", revealing a long-handled battle axe, the blade of which shone with excitement, and the aquamarine gem set in the center drank the sun.
"The glory of Shurima has risen again from under the yellow sand, and its majesty will no longer allow anyone to trample on it easily, and if you tear off this disguise to deceive the world in public, I promise to take your life!"
Nasus's canine eyes radiated a divine light, and if anyone who knew the goods was here, they would find that the faint light in his eyes was no longer what it used to be.
"Daring, I am a descendant of Lord Eagle King, how dare you...... You...... Is it Nasus? ”
The leader proudly raised his helmet, but the panic in his words was well known, after all, although the story of the Ascended had long since become a myth, it was still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"If you ask, it means that I have been gone for too long. Eagle King ...... Is that His Majesty Azir? Hehe, with his temperament, even if you die a thousand times, it will be difficult to quench his anger! ”
Nasus shook his head, if he hadn't met the true One Bloodline before, he would have had to check it carefully to be sure.
The anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and he slammed the handle of his axe into the ground, raising a cloud of dust. The smoke stopped in mid-air, like a shimmering veil, and then slowly fell in circles around the false priests and the samurai who had gathered around.
"What are you doing?" The other party asked sharply.
In the blink of an eye, the round cloud of sand turned into a hurricane.
The samurai involuntarily covered their faces, and the false priests couldn't see clearly, choking and coughing, and bent their waists in half.
The sandstorm envelops the furious winds of the deepest part of the desert and can wring a group of Icasur into skeletons in an instant.
Armor is useless, and grains of sand will creep in and break through people's skin from every nook and cranny.
The solar disc swayed back and forth in the wind summoned by Nasus, and the slings in the hoops tightened.
Nasus let the fury of the sea of sand fill his body, his limbs filled with strength and his body swelled, as if the roaring desert poured its anger into his dark flesh. He grew larger and larger, towering terribly, like the original Ascended in legend.
He did it without warning, swinging his axe left and right, knocking the guards to the side with the handle of the axe or the bladeless side, he didn't want to kill these people, after all, they were all Shurima's heirs.
"The cycle of life and death has been laid out in front of you, tear off the disguise to survive, or disobey the will of God to die!"
Nasus, who was huge, also had an unusually loud voice, almost majestic. Combined with this terrifying magic, the Ascendant's might has finally awakened the long-forgotten memories in people's hearts.
In an instant, 10,000 people bowed down and offered their piety, just like they did a thousand years ago!
"Don't ...... No! ”
The Toba priesthood had already been frightened, where was the previous arrogance, and hurriedly ripped off his helmet, revealing a face full of fear.
"I'm a fake, I'm not the blood of Lord Eagle King, I'm just a Searns who cheated money, please, ...... Dear Lord Nasus, please hold your hands high! ”
Nasus didn't know how to feel when he looked at the disgusting creature in front of him with snot and tears mixed with sand and dust sticking to his face, and it wasn't until the corner of his eye swept over the crocodile-headed helmet that swayed freely in the wind that a trace of obvious loneliness appeared on his face.
The wind gradually stopped, and the sand and dust fell to the ground, but people's hearts have changed.
"Go for it......"
The still loud voice sounded softly, and the Toba priest, who had long been unable to see his original appearance, quickly disappeared into the crowd of kneeling on the ground as if he had been pardoned.
Nasus, who was several feet tall, looked down at the long-lost reverence in people's eyes, and he thought that he would be as full of pride as he was a thousand years ago, but his heart was only calm at the moment.
Raising the tomahawk in his hand that grew larger with his body, he smashed it on the crumbling solar disc without warning, directly smashing the huge disc to pieces, and then turned back.
"The great Shurima has been reborn, and the glory of a thousand years ago will once again shine on this golden land. Everyone, go to the south and return to the original homeland of the people of Shurima, this time, the divine power of the solar disc will never be exhausted! ”
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Nasus's massive divine body.
Nasus saw hesitation in their faces.
"Dear Lord Nasus......"
A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with her particularly childish eyes open, regardless of the panic behind her mother, who tugged at the corners of her clothes, when fairy tales and reality overlap, children always belong to the first group of people to adapt.
"I grew up listening to your stories, stories of wars, battles of heroes and stuff. The story says that you and your brother are Shurima's protectors, right? ”
"Yes, indeed. Renekton and I have fought for thousands of years for Shurima. ”
I didn't expect the hero in the fairy tale to answer herself, and the little girl seemed very happy, but Nasus still saw the entanglement of adults in her immature face.
"But Mom said that His Majesty the Reborn Emperor would turn everyone into slaves again, and little Tasha didn't want to be a slave, and she didn't want Mom to be a slave too......"
Listen to the little girl's childish words, and then watch her mother desperately pick her up and disappear into the crowd.
Nasus's body gradually regained its original size, but its tall figure still stood out from the temple.
"I don't know His Majesty's plans yet, but I can be sure that a thousand years ago, just before Shurima's fall, His Majesty's last order before receiving the Ascension Ceremony was to abolish slavery!"
Nasus's words fell, and after a brief silence, the people kneeling under the temple suddenly boiled. In fact, since the sound of the ruins in the heart of the Southern Desert was heard again, they have been shrouded in the fear that they will lose their freedom, and millennia of indulgence have not made them forget their former slavery.
But now, they've let go of their worries, albeit only for a part.
After the excitement, the people gradually dispersed, and it was necessary for them to seriously think about where they belonged in the future, after all, if they did not have the ability to protect themselves, those who were separated from the two forces would not end up so well.
……
Bang Bang Bang ......
A sudden clapping sound awakened the lost Nasus, and the dog's eyes moved in front of him, and seven men dressed in clearly not Shurima style were walking towards him, led by a bald head with a mask.
Nasus frowned, he could feel that the bald head was strong.
The seven people on this trip were the same Dick and his party who went to the street to buy alchemy materials according to Sinjid's request after finding a place to live.
And Dick's heart was also turbulent, it turned out that the dog's head was so powerful?
From the mouths of the people who knelt on the ground just now, he learned that Nasus was a person from a thousand years ago, and he was a demigod-level existence!
Of course, this was confirmed when Nasus transformed just now.
However, Sinjid said that the current Nasus is very weak.
