Sarah...... Sarah...... Sarah? ”

Unable to project specific images of Sarah and Fiona, Catelyn tries to communicate with the three of them through the communicator.

But under the continuous noisy busy sound, the communicator seemed to be interfered with by something, and the magic satellite could not get in touch with the communicator.

"Damn it!"

Having lost contact with Sarah, the anxious Caitlin threw her right hand into a fist and slammed it on the console.

Orianna patted Caitlyn on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, there's Acacia's magic circle nearby, we can try to use the magic satellite to analyze it, maybe we can communicate!"

Under Oriana's reassurance, Catelyn also calmed down a little. Now that their conductor, Sarah, has gone underground, the current situation should be controlled by her, an experienced female police officer in Picheng.

Thinking of the news from the Darius team before, she took a deep breath and calmly said to Oriana, "Let's go pick up Darius and Irelia first, now that the center is full of demons, I'm worried that if we go late, maybe they will also encounter greater danger!"

Hearing this, Oriana, who understood the meaning of her friend, also looked at her, and quickly pressed the complex buttons on the console.

Caitlyn also pressed the button to adjust the screen to the right side of the screen, and the main screen also switched to Irelia and Darius.

However, when Caitlyn and the others saw the scene of Irelia and Darius being slapped away by the high-level demons through the screen, their pupils shrank instantly.

"Oriana, maximize the speed of the Refic, we must support Irelia as soon as possible!"

As the scene of Irelia and the two being ravaged by high-level demons one after another, Catelyn, knowing that she could not delay any longer, decided to support the two as soon as possible.

Hovering above the heart of Shurima, the Refik slowly turned under Oriana's control, and flew faster and faster over the Shurima Desert in the direction where Irelia and the others were.

……

Desperately trying to stabilize her body in mid-air, Irelia communicated with the Sword of Inheritance, and with the help of the Sword's autonomous consciousness, she turned around and attacked the huge high-level demon again.

Sensing Irelia's counterattack, the high-level demon's large black hand spewed out a viscous dark liquid.

Unable to dodge, Irelia forced her sword to split the liquid, but the moment her sword touched the viscous liquid, the liquid split apart, bypassing her sword and spilling all over her.

Immediately after, the liquid resembled a viscous colloidal body that bound her body tightly.

The body that flew towards the demon came to a halt in mid-air, and the more she tried to break free, the tighter the viscous black liquid bound her body.

The viscous liquid was tougher than the vines, and Irelia couldn't move despite all her might.

Her body fell uncontrollably, and as she was about to smash to the ground, a muscular figure appeared in her sight and caught her bound body.

"Darius!" Calling out the strong man's name, Irelia's pretty face flashed with joy.

With a dull hum, somewhat surprised that Irelia would smile at him, Darius glanced at the giant high-level demon running towards him, and ran wildly in the opposite direction as he tried to split the black liquid that bound Irelia with his axe.

Like Irelia, who had tried everything before, no matter how much Darius tried to help Irelia break free, it didn't work.

From time to time, glancing back at the high-level demons that were getting closer and closer behind him, Darius's body oozing countless sweat from his body running wildly under the scorching sun.

Seeing that Darius couldn't untie her body, Irelia was ruthless and gritted her teeth: "You put me down and run!"

Staring at Irelia in his arms and saying such words, Darius, who had never thought of running away alone, was stunned.

Then he thought about what Irelia had said about him and the Noxians in Noxus, and he was relieved.

It seems that Irelia still doesn't want to believe that they Noxians will do their best to help the Alliance, and they are prejudiced against him.

Although he revered the idea of the strong, he did not abandon his companions in the face of danger. Angry at Irelia's repeated misunderstandings, Darius said with a fierce face, "Do you think I'm a treacherous?"

Taken aback by Darius' sudden change in complexion, Irelia was a little dazed. When did she say she thought he was a treacherous?

Although she didn't like the Noxians, and even less the Darius who invaded Ionia with his army, she wasn't going to do anything to affect the alliance at such a time.

Unable to understand where her instinctive words had made Darius hear what she thought he was a treacherous person, Irelia was not to be outdone and met Darius' vicious gaze.

"I didn't say that!" replied coldly, and she, who didn't like Darius in the first place, revealed her disgust.

Darius breathed a sigh of relief and said with a solemn expression: "I will not leave my companions behind, don't worry!"

After saying that, Darius didn't care whether Irelia believed it or not, raised his head and looked ahead, trying to steer the high-level demon away from the survivors.

But his speed was still too slow for the giant high-level demon, and the huge demon hand fell straight from the sky, trying to grab the two of Darius directly into his palm.

After rolling on the sand several times in a row, Darius, who had escaped the magic hand, shook off the sand on his body and continued to run.

Seeing that Darius, who was incomparably small in his eyes, had evaded his demon's hand, the giant high-level demon roared angrily. His eyes stared viciously at the black liquid on Irelia's body, and a wicked smile appeared on his hideous countenance.

Under his control, the black liquid silently spread to Darius, who was holding Irelia. When Darius sensed something was wrong, the black liquid had left Irelia and wrapped around him.

A stumbling drasius stumbling on the sand, bound by the black liquid, fell to the ground, unable to move.

"Darius!" Irelia snorted, and she hurriedly picked up Darius without restraint.

But as the high-level demon's huge magic hand clutched her body tightly in the palm of her hand, Irelia only felt that her body was being eroded by the black demonic energy at every moment.

The huge high-level demon grabbed Darius in his palm with his right hand, one left and one right, trying to pinch Irelia and the two of them to death as ants.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

As the demon's hand tightened tighter, Irelia's pretty face became redder and redder from the inability to breathe, and her body resounded with the sound of bones shattering under the demon's unsympathetic devastation.

As her consciousness became more and more blurred, Irelia's right hand holding the Sword of Inheritance gradually released, and the Sword of Inheritance fell straight into the sand.

As if sensing the master's breath getting weaker and weaker, the heirloom sword clangled like a mournful roar.

Seeing that Irelia was about to be pinched to death by demons, the depths of her soul that was gradually dimming, the brother Zelos who had haunted her once again appeared in her subconscious, inspiring her.

The will of immortality was as sharp as a blade, stabbing Irelia's drowsy consciousness awake. A hint of cold gradually swept through her body, and the image of the ice-blue dragon rolled in her mind.

The cold dragon moan poured into her blade-like will, slowly merging into one.

The cold Irelia froze so cold that the demon screamed and let go of the demon's hand. Irelia, whose consciousness had not yet fully awakened, only relied on her instinct to stabilize her body on the sand, and the heirloom sword that felt the aura of her master also flew back to her side.

The cold face was gradually infected by the cold air, and the ice-blue dragon scales gradually climbed up from Irelia's jaw, around the periphery of her cheeks to the base of her ears.

The closed eyes also slowly opened, and the corners of Irelia's eyes also climbed with some dragon scale lines.

Her lips opened slightly, and the turbid breath exhaled by Irelia turned into a thorn of ice and fell to the ground in the blazing desert.

Far more powerful than ever before surged in her body, and her slightly constricted eyes once again greeted the high-level demons, blooming with a cold light that made the demons tremble.
