Ezreal still didn't make a move.

As the fires and explosions at the gates ignited the city's slaughter, the piercing sensation of the knife slashing into flesh and the sharpness of the blood-torn night continued to pass through his Hex's sound collector to his remaining living brain.

He knew he had to wait.

The city has collapsed, unknown friendly and enemy forces have joined the fray, Galen's plans have been destroyed, and everything has begun to slide in an unknowable direction.

No one can say what the outcome will be.

But the city gate must be the most important thing.

All offensive and defensive battles, victories and defeats will inevitably revolve around the city gate.

So, Ezreal needs to keep waiting.

Waiting for the possible -

"Kacha-" A large, sharp claw clawed through a field of snow.

Three hundred yards from the gates where the battle was raging, there was a slight ripple.

————————————

Far away from Freljord, on the southern bank of the Serpentine River, on a vast plain as far as the eye can see.

A team of fast horses was galloping, and immediately all of them were covered in black robes, even on such a hot summer night.

They seem to be tireless, and they keep rushing forward even when the night stars are down.

There was no camping, no rest, it was like running straight to the end of the day.

And where they couldn't see, beside a sparse wood, there were four pairs of eyes, eight eyes watching them without blinking.

"He's not in there." Hudson shook his head, "I can't smell him." ”

He and Piero didn't even have time to do the final verdict ceremony after informing them of Ryze. Chased directly to the place where the missing Lalivash might have gone as fast as he could, but now......

"Where will he go?" Ruiz clutched the book in his hand. Subconsciously stayed away from the two guys who were supposed to be mortal enemies beside him.

"Maybe he's chasing the woman in the Obsidian Library. You know......" Piero said as if he was licking his lips, but when it came to the worst, he himself was not confident enough to cut off this possibility.

"He must ......," Soraka, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and groaned uneasily in her tone that had not been normal for a day today, "will go there." ”

There.

The place where her purple eyes looked was thousands of miles away......

Freljord.

————————————

The frost in the room only melted for a moment.

In the next moment, those frosts directly crossed the melting process, and were completely enveloped and swallowed by the dense darkness that suddenly arose.

Darkness reigned over the vast conference room, and the frost retreated.

In a room where there was no light in the first place. At this moment, it is even darker, like the deepest part of hell.

No cold, no hard.

Only the deepest of the darkest despair.

"Finally, can I ask you a question?" General Burnham sat in the center of the darkest hell and said as if asking for his last words.

"Tell me about it." Chen Senran gripped the table with both hands, his whole body tense against the ubiquitous darkness around him.

The darkness was thick, and every inch of it was filled with murderous intent that could tear everything apart.

"I've always wondered, what is it that sustains people like you?" There was no hint of murder in General Burnham's tone, and he asked suspiciously, as if he were an academic discussion.

"Yes......" Chen Senran gritted his teeth, and the darkness was already like a sharp sword against every inch of his skin. Every cold hair of his stood on end, and every vein of his veins was filled with the power of madness.

The magic pattern is surging.

His words rushed out of his throat like a trapped beast—

"Absolutely...... What can't you lose!! ”

As the last word slipped out of his throat, his whole body sprang out of his chair like a cornered beast and rushed towards the seemingly invincible god of war at the end of the long table.

That kind of momentum of death and no life. The wild almost tore through the darkness.

But.

But.

In the end, it was still a bad deal.

Chen Senran's people only lasted a second on the way to the impact, and they were attacked by a powerful force. Unstoppable darkness enveloped it.

Wrapped in sharp, crazy. There is also unstoppable.

The darkness was like a huge net, capturing Chen Senran's trapped beast entirely.

There was no surprise.

"Is there something you can't afford to lose?" General Burnham muttered to himself. His voice was in the dark, ethereal like a god in the sky, "Sure enough, mortal feelings are really incomprehensible. ”

"Or, is it just a burden?"

He asked himself, falling silent.

There was a long silence.

Silence is like a bigger net.

Larger began to tighten the net.

As the silence lengthened, the darkness that had originally enveloped Chen Senran began to shrink towards his body.

Inch by inch, buckled into his skin, flesh and blood, and soul.

Chen Senran felt extreme pain, and from every corner of his body, he felt that he was about to be torn to pieces.

Can't breathe, can't move, can't ...... anymore

See the girl's smiling face.

Girl......

How......

Yes.

I......

I-

I!!!

"Ah!!h Chen Senran let out a roar from his throat with all his best strength.

That roar broke the endless darkness and broke the unbreakable confinement.

Once again, the magic pattern surged.

The fierce black flames in his body began to erode every inch of land, every nerve in an even more turbulent manner.

Chen Senran fell into a larger void of consciousness.

His sense of autonomy became weaker and weaker, and those violent consciousness turbulences were constantly bombarding Chen Senran's bottom line.

They kept roaring in his heart—

Destroy!

"Kara-" There was a crisp cracking sound from the thick darkness, and then the darkness that enveloped Chen Senran began to produce a trace of cracks in an incomparably substantial state.

"What does this smell like...... "Burnham, who had seemed to be in an infinite sleep, let out a sigh of amazement, and whispered as if he had really sniffed, "Lisandro, what do you want?" ”

At this time, the layers of darkness that enveloped Chen Senran were finally all shattered, and Chen Senran slowly floated up from the darkness.

The demonic patterns that had become extremely dense were almost all over his body, arms, neck, and face, and they swam, encircled, and gathered towards his eyes like living snakes.

Chen Senran opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the entire world seemed to be about to burst into flames at any moment. (To be continued......)
