Chapter 22: Snake Scales
"What's going on?" Lin Zhao checked the short sword in his hand, and felt that he held it in his hand, no matter how he used it, it was extremely handy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 By now, this should be considered a real artifact, and the equipment such as the Infinity Blade, the Death Hat of the World Destroyer, the Central Asian Hourglass, the Frost Sorrow, and the Ember Messenger should be considered a level, right?
Lin Zhao thought so in his heart.
"It's the Ascension Ritual." In his consciousness, the North Wind Divine Dragon answered Lin Zhao's question, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the remaining energy of the Ascension Ritual after the interruption, which was forced to be instilled in this short sword, and because of my power in it, the power of the Ascension Ritual and my power have reached a balance, so that they can coexist and fuse in the short sword, and finally form what they are now." ”
"That's right." Because of the full force explosion just now, the power of the North Wind Divine Dragon almost burst Lin Zhao's body, and Lin Zhao still felt collapsed and in pain, and there was a feeling that he was on the verge of collapse. And when he held the North Wind Short Sword in his hand, he only felt that the power on the short sword was flowing backwards into his body, repairing his body.
"It's amazing!" Lin Zhao felt the gradual recovery of his body, the pain was gradually disappearing, and the strength was coming back little by little. This short sword, which has completed the ascension ceremony, turned out to be a multi-functional weapon.
There is no one with automatic blood regeneration!
"Lin Zhao, are you okay?"
Seeing that everything had calmed down, Sindra and Ahri hurriedly ran over and asked Lin Zhaodao.
Lin Zhao looked at the worried expressions of one person and one fox, and felt both moved and guilty in his heart. Ahri is no longer the same as before, even if she is worried about Lin Zhao now, her emotional expression is extremely restrained. This made Lin Zhao feel a little regretful.
"I'm fine." He smiled at Sindra and Ahri, signaling them to be relieved.
"Ahhhhh
Suddenly, a woman's scream rang out from the high platform.
Lin Zhao, Sindra, and Ahri all looked up and looked up, only to see that Cassiopeia had completely changed her appearance. The originally bewitching and charming woman was covered with scales, as if wrapped in a layer of snake skin, which looked terrifying and disgusting.
…… How so!?
Lin Zhao was taken aback. Cassiopeia's current appearance is not only very different from what she used to be, but also very different from the look in the game.
In the game, Cassiopeia's appearance is that of the cursed person of the human-headed snake god, although because of the curse on her body, her facial complexion has become green, her complexion looks extremely poor, and her facial muscles are extremely stiff, looking like a petrified woman. But no matter how you say it, Cassiopeia's upper body is still a human appearance, no matter how it is, it can be seen.
But now, Cassiopeia has become a monster wrapped in snake skin all over her body, and now her bare skin on the outside of her clothes, whether it is her face, neck, arms, legs, and corners, is covered with a layer of dark and fine snake scales, even on her ears.
Cassiopeia's hair turned into slender little snakes, and those snakes squirmed back and forth on her head as if they were alive, making people feel even more terrifying and sick to their stomachs when they saw it.
Lin Zhao's mind was racing, and he probably understood what was going on. The Ascension Ritual is aimed at each Ascension, and while enhancing and evolving their strength, the characteristics of the Ascension will be expanded, and the Ascension will be sublimated and changed from the inside to the outside.
Because of this, in the ancient Shurima Empire, Nasus, the desert god of death who was responsible for tactical planning and behind-the-scenes operations, would eventually become a kobold, and his brother, Renekton, the desert butcher who charged on the front lines of the war, eventually became a raging crocodile. In the thousands of years that followed, the temperament of Renekton after the ascension became more and more violent and irrational, and it was precisely because of the influence of the ascension ritual.
Cassiopeia was nearly contaminated with the curse's poison for her previous assassination of Sivir, but she escaped with her life. I don't know what the principle of the curse poison is, but in the original storyline, Cassiopeia eventually fell into the embrace of the demon snake, presumably because of her own temperament and scheming. If this is the explanation, it makes sense that after inexplicably becoming an ascended person, Cassiopeia has become what she is now, a monster that looks like a complete poisonous snake.
Lin Zhao saw Cassiopeia become what she was now, but he felt a little pity and sadness in his heart. After all, no matter whether this woman's heart is good or bad, from the first time they met in Noxus City to the present, whether this woman is malicious or kind to herself, after all, she has had such intimate, so zero-distance, and so evocative contact with herself.
But now, this woman has been reduced to this, and Lin Zhao only feels an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.
"How did I become like this!? What is this? What kind of trick is this? Damn it, turn me back! Turn me back, or Noxus won't spare you!" ”
Cassiopeia screamed hoarsely, expressing her panic and anger in vain. But the golden light of the solar disc has been withdrawn, and the ascension ceremony has ended. The sun of Shurima will not take away its bounty. Whether the Ascendant likes it or hates it, they can only passively accept it.
"Thankfully, I didn't accept that power." Ahri patted his bulging chest with a look of joy. She thought of Lin Zhao's rescue just now, and her gaze at Lin Zhao was finally much gentler.
Sindra was equally rejoicing. She said, "Fortunately, I have you, Lin Zhao. Thank you. ”
"What are you polite to me?" Lin Zhao sighed and said.
Caught in fear and madness, Cassiopeia didn't pay any attention to the three Lin Zhao standing on the cliff opposite her. Cassiopeia desperately scratched at the skin on her cheeks and arms with the sharp fingers of her nails, as if trying to tear the python-like skin off. However, no matter what she tried, it was in vain, and the skin was firmly attached to her body, so tenacious that no matter how she scratched, scratched, or torn, there was not the slightest damage.
"Don't try to change back to what you are, you wicked but lucky nasty woman." Behind Cassiopeia, the voice of the desert emperor Azir rang out, "Do not resist the gift of the gods. It is your honor to receive the gift of the Ascension Ceremony. By doing so now, you are blaspheming against God. (To be continued.) )
