Chapter 313: Dark Years
When it comes to his brother, Nasus is undoubtedly proud.
But now he can only remember the highlight moments of the other party.
For example, he climbed the steps of the Temple of the Sun with a serious illness on his back, and this selflessness led him to be reborn along with Nasus, becoming a powerful warrior of the gods and once again serving the glory of Shurima for hundreds of years.
Also, Renekton fought Zelath with him in the ruins of the capital, and since he couldn't kill him, Renekton grabbed Zelas, dragged him into the Emperor's Tomb, and told Nasus to seal them inside.
And the memory after that was completely blank, and he didn't even know what his brother had experienced in the tomb.
"Your Excellency has fought with Zeroth, and you always remember what that vicious witch spirit said to you, right? You can always know something from his words, and there is always a reason why he let you live. Jeno said.
In fact, he wanted to say "let you die as a dog", but he was worried that the talk would collapse, so he endured it and didn't say it.
Nasus's face suddenly sank, and Jeno could feel the anger in his heart, all because of the name Zelas.
The reason why he let Nasus die was simply to satisfy his perverted and twisted psychology - Zelas wanted to let himself create a beast that would peel off every inch of Nasus's flesh with his claws, and he would definitely be there to watch.
"The traitor said he had told me over and over how I had betrayed Renekton, and the unwarranted jealousy that was hidden in his heart. And my stupid brother actually believed his lies, cursing my name and crying and swearing to Zeros to rip my limbs off one by one. ”
Nasus said sadly, like a lost dog.
Zelath mentions that Renekton has turned into a bloodthirsty beast, but Nasus knows his brother better than the Witch. Zelas only sees Renekton turn into a beast, but forgets that a noble warrior slumbers within him. He selflessly gave his life for his brother. The warrior voluntarily sacrificed everything in order to save his homeland from a traitor. Zelas had completely forgotten about these things, but Nasus never did.
He looked at the ice sculpture, and although the people inside were now no different from beasts, he could see a selfless soul in it.
"Do you want to know what Renekton went through in the tomb? Want to know what Zelas said to him? Jeno tossed the bones out again and again.
His help was not gratuitous, it was the quality of Nasus's gne, like a risk-free, high-return investment that only needed a little information to exchange for the gratitude of a high-powered ascendant.
"Say it." Nasus nodded.
Hearing Nasus's answer, Jeno glanced back at Oriona before speaking slowly, and Sivir noticed the small gesture.
The devastated dark years of Renekton were thus revealed in such a bloody way.
"After discovering that it was impossible to kill Zelas, and that sealing it with a magic sarcophagus was not enough, Renekton decided to drag Zelas to the mausoleum and then order you to seal the mausoleum, which you knew had no choice but to do.
Beneath the deserted city, in the darkness, Renekton continued to bite Zeroth, and their battle continued for centuries until the once-glorious and great Shurima civilization on the ground was reduced to dust.
Zeros poured evil words into Renekton's ears, and hundreds of years passed, and his poisonous words and endless darkness finally brought evil results. The malevolent sorcerer has planted a false obsession in Renekton's mind, convincing him that you are jealous of his success and unwilling to share in the power of Ascension, so he deliberately locks him in the dark.
Little by little, Renekton's sanity is crumbling, and Zelas is embedding wedges in these cracks, corrupting his sanity, confusing his ability to perceive and distinguish between reality and fantasy, making him think that you have betrayed him, abandoned him, and left him to die...... That's why Renekton is so obsessed with killing you. ”
The narrator was well aware of the history that had long been buried in the sand, and Nasus already knew that this statement was not made up by Jeno.
The other party's tone seemed to tell the story of this dark time from his brother's point of view, and it was Nasus who understood Renekton best.
In fact, as early as the time of Ascension, Nasus was already disturbed by some of the side reactions produced by Renekton during the Ascension Ritual, one of which was the increasing wildness he saw in his brother, his thirst for killing had already been revealed at that moment, and now he was more like Zelas had activated this side of the beast.
"Little man, why do you know so much about Renekton's experience?"
Nasus's anger was enough to burn the lump of ice, but he held back and asked about the oddities.
"Because Orianna had read his memories, she had almost been brainwashed by Zelas in order to read them."
Jeno introduces Orianna as the protagonist of the day.
Nasus set a pair of sparkling eyes at the short-haired little woman, and he hadn't forgotten her.
He still remembered Oriana's proposal, in fact, when he saw her, he thought of this proposal that he had rejected because of lack of conditions.
And now Jeno has turned it out again, and it is still when the prerequisites are met, cutting first and then playing, so that there is no reason to refuse.
"I'm not, I'm not!" After hearing Jano's words, Orianna had already roared in her heart before the tragic story, but when she turned her head and saw Sivir winking at her, she immediately remembered Jano's earlier meaningful eyes.
So she acquiesced: "I read Renekton's memory." ”
Noticing Oriana's timid expression in the face of Nasus, Jano quietly stood in front of her.
Jeno's movements just blocked Oriana's dodging gaze, causing Nasus to think that Oriana was afraid of him rather than weak, so he withdrew his gaze.
"How do you know so much about things between us, why do you want to help me?" Looking at the frozen Renekton, Nasus asked again.
"We all have common enemies, and we all have things we want to protect. And I do it all...... For the sake of the land above and under my feet, for Piltover and Zaun, and for those who call it home. ”
Although the previous language is full of elaborate design and well-intentioned deception, only this sentence is said from the bottom of his heart.
Every Zuan, every Picheng person, and even every Shurima person resonates after hearing this sentence.
And it was because of this sentence that Nasus finally let down his defense.
