Chapter 143: Blood Magic! Energy Obelisk!
In the vast desert, a tomb about three meters high stands quietly in the yellow sand.
The surface of the tomb has been completely buried in yellow sand, but even from a long distance, you can still smell the strong fishy stench coming from it.
Perhaps because the yellow sand covering the surface was not thick enough, the original gray sand dust was actually oozing dark red blood.
"Tick~!"
The lumpy sand is blown off by the wind, and what lies beneath the yellow sand is exposed to the air.
It was a hill made entirely of corpses!
And it was at this time that a tall figure suddenly fell from the sky and smashed straight in front of these corpses.
The man was about two and a half meters tall, holding a blood-colored spear with a strange shape, a row of sharp bone spurs on the back of his arm, and a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at the corpse in front of him on his face covered by a triangular bone mask.
Darkspawn Spear - Anaca!
Looking for the General's call, Anaka was the first to return to the continent of Shurima, and has been chasing Zorani's breath.
Just as Virus had felt before, in the vast Shurima Continent, there were actually more than a dozen Zorani breaths, and the breaths in each place were extremely similar, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
In this case, Anaka has no choice but to start with the most recent and find them one after the other.
This was the first place he came.
Anaka's eyes under the mask examined the corpse in front of him, feeling the aura of the Darkspawn coming from it, and he knew that this should be the source of Zorani's breath.
With Zorani's blood magic, it would have been too easy to create these blood clots as long as there were enough corpses.
Zorrani wasn't here, she was supposed to create these corpse mounds to distract them.
Thinking of this, Anaka withdrew his gaze, and he raised the spear in his hand, which glistened with blood, and headed straight for the pile of corpses in front of him.
In an instant, a furious force erupted from the spear, and all the corpses in front of Anaka exploded.
However, just as the corpse was shattered and flew around indiscriminately, Anaca's body suddenly shook violently.
In the explosion of blood, a crisp sliding of chains rang out, and a pair of curved chainsaws pierced through the falling corpses like a curtain of rain, heading straight for Anaka's arms.
Anaka's heart jerked, and he was stunned by the sudden sight, but soon Anaka turned his spear back, and the three blades on the spear slid together, and then the spear slashed down to meet Zorani's curved chainsaw.
"Boom!"
The two streams of blood collided wildly, and the spear in Anaka's hand jerked back a little, but he still used his superb combat skills to defuse the power of the spear, and dodged the attack sideways.
The Bladed Chainsaw was retracted by the chains, and Anaka looked up at the other side of the corpse.
There, Zorani was watching Anaka with a mocking look at her with a mocking look on her face, and at her feet, the blood from the corpse was rapidly converging towards Zorani and then merging into her body.
"Zorani, coward!"
As soon as Zorrani appeared, Anaka roared in a shrill voice.
Listening to Anaca's address to herself, Zorani took a step, her eyes full of inexplicable sarcastic smiles:
"Anaka, if I'm right, Aatrox should have called you here."
Anaca's eyes never left Zorani's body, and her head deflected as Zorani moved:
"The general's edict has been issued, and it won't be long before my compatriots will be assembled, and you coward will surely be crushed and scattered!"
Anaka's voice was filled with infinite reverence and trust for Aatrox:
"General Aatrox is the one who should unify all the Dark Descendants, and you, a coward, can only be a stepping stone for the general!"
"Oh?" Zorrani tilted her head.
She didn't rush to make a move on Anaka, but thought about it, "But, I didn't see Aatrox coming, did I?" β
"Have you seen Aatrox?"
Anaka's tone was slightly suffocated, yes, although he had followed Aatrox's call, he had not met Aatrox so far.
"So what, I'll clear the obstacles for the general first, and then go and meet the general!"
Anaka's expression was a little reminiscent, and he raised his spear and pointed it at Zorani's head:
"I haven't seen a general for thousands of years, and your head is my gift to the general!"
"You're naΓ―ve, Anaca."
In the face of the glittering blood light on the Arcana spear, Zorani's expression still did not change in the slightest.
"As you said, we haven't seen each other for thousands of years, and who knows if Aatrox has changed."
"You know, Aatrox was out of trouble a long time ago, but he didn't go to you in the first place. But now that you need to fight, he calls you to come. Do you know what that means? β
Zorani came up to Anaca, her eyes fixed on Anaca:
"Aatrox didn't want to take any chances, so he sent you to die, you're just a pawn for him!"
"You fart!"
Anaka burst into a loud cry, and the spear in his hand didn't hesitate any longer, and the muscles in his arms instantly tensed, slashing towards Zorani.
"I have followed the general to fight for thousands of years, and he has saved me countless times, and the relationship between us is something that you, a coward, can understand."
"Huh!"
Zorani's hands glowed with blood, and the cloudy blood condensed into a shield that blocked Anaca's attack, and she continued:
"People change, Anaka, let alone a madman like Aatrox, otherwise how would he let you take the risk alone. He would have killed our fellow citizens, and now he will kill you too! β
"Zorani, coward, die!"
Anaka didn't want to hear anything from Zorani anymore, because in his opinion, all that Zorrani said was an insult to Aatrox and that she was provoking a wedge between him and Aatrox.
The bone spurs on the back of his arms were fully open, and a pair of bony wings condensed behind him, and the wings swung at a rapid pace, and Anaka condescendingly headed straight for Zorani.
Zorani doesn't have wings, which is a well-known fact among the Darkspawn, so Zorani's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in the face of enemies who have the ability to fly.
"Boom!"
The curved chainsaw collided with the spear, and the chains instantly wrapped around the tip of Anaca's spear before pulling it down.
Zorani naturally knew that she couldn't fly, so he had to pull Anaka from the sky to the ground as much as possible.
It's just that Anaka, as a former Celestial warrior and now a Darkborn, is a powerful warrior under Aatrox who has been battle-hardened, how could he ignore this.
I saw that the tip of the spear that had been put together was instantly separated, and as the blade slid rapidly, Zorani's chain fell off, and Anaca's attack came to Zorrani again.
"Coward, you dare to insult Aatrox, you must die today!"
For a while, among the fragments of corpses everywhere, two figures collided fiercely.
At the same time as the roar sounded, Zolani also kept telling Anaka:
"Anaka, Aatrox has changed, he has become cowardly, he is no longer worthy of being your general since he killed our people with his own hands."
"He sent you to die, he just wants you to weaken me, and then he will come back to pick up the leak."
"Zorani, shut up!"
In the face of Zorani's provocation, Anaka's heart never wavered in the slightest, on the contrary, because of Zorani's insult to Aatrox, Anaka's attacks are becoming more and more violent.
He had been a follower of Aatrox since the time of Gushurima, and he was fascinated by Aatrox's character.
He was powerful, sincere, well-led, and at the forefront of every battle, and he had everything a general should have.
In battle after war, Aatrox saved his life from countless powerful enemies.
Later, even though the Empire of Gushurima collapsed, and the former Ascended Gods degenerated into the Darkspawn and began to fight against each other, Anaka still chose to continue to follow Aatrox.
He didn't see it as an insult, on the contrary, Anaka was proud to be able to follow Aatrox!
Now, how could he change his perception of Aatrox because of a few words from Zorani.
In the sand, Anaka's attacks were becoming more and more violent, and Zorani watched all of this, and she knew that she should not be able to persuade Anaka to give up Atrox alone.
In this case, she had to use another option.
Sure enough, if you want to create a world free of war and chaos, just a few words won't work at all, and if you want to achieve your goals, you can only rely on blood magic to manipulate everyone!
At this time, Zorani's eyes had completely changed, and they became full of cold killing intent.
"Bang!"
Another collision, Anaka's figure retreated again, but on the other side, Zorani's body did not retreat as before.
After knocking Anaka back, Zorani's curved chainsaw came out of her hand and headed straight for Anaca, and Zorani's hand began to glow with an extremely rich dark red light.
A thick fishy stench filled the heavens and the earth, and the figurative image turned into wisps of blood-colored brilliance and rushed towards the direction where Arcana was.
Just as the Curved Chainsaw wrapped itself around Anaka's spear once more, Zorani's blood magic came to Arcana.
"Uhh
As if his throat was being choked by a pair of powerful hands, Anaca's body shook, and then he found that the blood in his body seemed to have completely stopped flowing, and he lost control of his body!
Arcana knew it was Zorani's blood magic.
Gritting his teeth, Anaka's body slammed, the muscles of his body constantly stirring, and he wanted to break free from Zorani's grasp.
With his arms regaining the ability to move first, Arcana thought he would get out of the predicament, but he may have underestimated the power of blood magic.
As a necessary factor for all Darkspawns to reshape their bodies, the existence of blood magic is undoubtedly incomparably powerful.
And no one knows what kind of height Zorani, as the creator of blood magic, should reach the level of blood magic.
Just when Anaka thought he was about to break free from the control of blood magic, his movements suddenly stopped, and then a palpable look of horror flashed in his eyes.
"Bang!"
In an instant, Arcana's left arm exploded, and Arcana noticed that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the sound of his heart beating was getting heavier.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
Falling from the air to the ground, Anaka was about to get up, but Zorrani was already in front of her, and her right blood-soaked right hand was in front of Arcana's skull.
"Anaka, after all, you still have to be my fighting force and fight for me."
The moment Zorani's words fell, the blood magic that had been stored in her hand for a long time completely exploded, completely enveloping Anaca's body.
Arcana was tempted to move his body to escape Zorani's control, but Zorani's blood magic had taken full control of his body, making it impossible for him to move at all.
Gradually, Anaka was able to clearly perceive that he was losing control of his body little by little.
"Zorani, General Aatrox will definitely kill you!"
The fingers of Zorani's right hand danced, and he heard Zorani's last words before Anaka lost control of her body.
"Until then, he's going to kill you with his own hands and then step over your corpse."
The last voice fell, and the brilliance in Anaka's eyes dimmed completely, and instead were filled with dense bloodshots.
Zolani withdrew her right hand and looked at Anaka in front of her with a faint smile on her face.
At this time, Anaka slowly stood up, without the slightest expression on his face, standing beside Zorrani like a walking corpse, without any movement.
Without saying anything more, Zorani's arm raised again, and the blood magic controlled the corpse fragments on the ground, recondensing a strangely shaped flesh soul mound.
"Aatrox, let your brothers and sisters come to me, I can't help but want to see the look on your face."
As the words fell, Zorani turned and prepared to head south.
Her followers are coming from all over Shurima, and she needs to come forward in time to win hearts and minds.
However, not long after Zorrani rushed out with the walking corpse-like Anaka, her form suddenly stopped, and then she jerked her head to look ahead.
When she saw the two figures standing in front of her, her eyes flashed with extreme anger.
"It's you!"
On the other side, Zuochi and Varus were standing in the sand, looking up and down at Zorani.
I have to say that compared with the last time we were separated, the aura exuded by Zolani is really several times stronger now.
Perhaps now she really has the ability to compete with the Aatrox Darkspawn Legion.
However, just as Zuochi and Varus's eyes fell on Anaka, who was beside Zorani, the two were suddenly stunned.
"Varus?" Zuo Chi looked at Varus beside him suspiciously.
Zuochi didn't know Anaka, so he didn't know that the powerful Darkspawn standing next to Zorani at this time was the Anaka they were looking for.
Varus didn't turn his head, but stared at Zorani and shouted, "That's Anaca, Zorani has taken control of his body with despicable blood magic!" β
The scene in front of him reminded Verus once again of the scene thousands of years ago, when his sister was controlled by Zolani.
At the thought of this, Varus's body trembled uncontrollably with anger.
At this time, Zorani said again: "Varus, when did you become a lackey of Aatrox too?" β
As rivals for thousands of years, Zorani let go of her aura and provoked Aatrox as soon as she regained her strength.
She could feel Aatrox's breath, and she knew that Aatrox and her followers were coming at her, but she didn't expect Varus to be faster than Aatrox.
"Whoosh!"
Varus didn't even say a word to Zorani before the yellow sand exploded beneath his feet, and he turned into a streamer of light and rushed towards Zorani.
"Zuo Chi, give her to me!"
Varus's longbow instantly opened, and several purple arrows flew towards Zorani.
"Coward, die!"
Facing Varus, who suddenly started fighting without saying a word, Zuo Chi also rushed towards Zolani with his body after showing a helpless smile.
However, instead of getting involved in the battle between Varus and Zorani, Zuochi came to Anaca, who was about to raise his spear.
Obviously, Anaka has now lost control of his body, he is just a puppet manipulated by Zorrani at will, and when Zorrani is attacked, he naturally wants to attack Varus.
Looking at the Darkspawn in front of him, Zuo Chi's eyes had a curious glint in them.
Is such a powerful Darkspawn just a follower of Aatrox?
What kind of person was Aatrox in the past, who could make so many strong people follow him with all their hearts.
But now is definitely not the time to think about this, after all, Varus and Zorrani have already fought, and Zuo Chi definitely can't let Anaka make a move against Varus at this time.
"Boom!"
The knife was unsheathed, and Zuoike crossed it in front of him, blocking Anaca's spear, and Zuoike saw Anaca's eyes like dead fish.
Zuo Chi was a little suspicious of how to get Anaka out of Zorani's control.
As a man on Aatrox's side, Zuochi definitely couldn't let his accomplices become Zorani's tools like this.
But just as Zuochi was thinking, Arcana had already rushed towards Zuochi again.
Now that he is completely controlled by Zorani's blood magic, he has no fear of fighting, and he doesn't even need to think about whether he will die in battle.
Each of Anaka's attacks was enough to be described as a sacrifice of life, and his spear struck Zuochi's body at an extremely tricky angle, while Zuochi kept his long knife against the spear that came in front of him, while looking for a flaw in the blood magic.
Compared to the battle between Zuochi and Anaca's side, Varus and Zorani's side were much more intense.
Arrows wrapped in the powerful withering power continued to shoot from Varus's longbow, making Zorani embarrassed, but Verus kept keeping a distance from Zorani, and kept pulling her with the longbow.
Compared to Anaca, Varus's combat power has to be improved by a big step.
Even Zorani's blood magic couldn't make his body stiffen without hitting Varus at close range.
However, although Varus's long-distance pull will make Zorani look a little embarrassed, it will not be able to do any substantial damage to Zorani.
In the end, the distance between the two was still narrowed, and it was Varus who took the initiative to get closer to Zorani.
This time, Varus simply gave up shooting from a distance, and instead the muscles in his arm bulged, and he rounded his longbow and smashed it towards Zorani's head.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
"Varus, I should have killed you and your sisters in the first place!"
Zolani mocked Varus wantonly, "You can't even compare to Aatrox, what can you use to kill me!" β
Varus remained silent in the face of Zorani's taunts, but his attacks became more intense.
Dark purple chains of corruption shot out of his longbow, wrapping around Zorrani as soon as it touched her body, and a blood-colored arrow was once again lit up on Varus's longbow.
"Zorani, die!"
Zorani's curved chainsaw swung rapidly, severing all the corrupt chains that wrapped around her, and her hands glowed with blood once more.
"Varus, we all know the power of that mortal, he is no match for Anakar at all, and when he is killed by Anaca, you will have to face the lackeys of Aatrox."
"Guess what Aatrox would do to you if he knew you killed his brother!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Zorani's words fell, a deafening roar suddenly sounded from the side of her and Verus.
"Huh?"
Following Varus's mocking gaze, Zorani turned her head to look in the direction where the roar had come.
It's okay not to look at it, Zorrani still has some confidence in her heart, but when she sees everything that is happening over there, Zorrani can't believe her eyes anyway.
After fending off Anaca's attacks countless times, Zuochi finally concluded:
On her own, it would be impossible to free Anaka from Zorani's blood magic. And in order to successfully bring Anaka back to Aatrox and return Zorani's powers, Zuochi finally decides:
Straight bean paste!
Since Anaca's physical body no longer listens to his call, let's just break the physical body and take only Anaka's body away!
It's a big deal, I'll help him find a suitable body when the time comes.
In this way, there is the scene that Zolrani and Varus just saw.
Zuo Chi's long knife flew the spear in Anaca's hand, and the long knife with its rich power of ascension stabbed into Anaca's heart, and in the next moment, it severed the arm that Anaka held the spear.
"Poof!"
For a moment, Anaka's eyes flashed again, but soon, the connection with his body was severed, and Anaka's body fell into the sand, and his body fell forward.
"It can't be!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, a deep sense of disbelief appeared on Zolani's face.
She couldn't believe that it wasn't long ago that Zuo Chi's strength was so weak, so weak that he couldn't resist her seizure without trying his best to activate the Ascendant form.
But now, he can defeat a Dark Spawn who is not afraid of death so easily!?
Looking at Zuo Chi, who had bent down to wrap up the spear, Zorrani looked at Varus again.
This time, Zorani's heart had already risen to retreat.
It's just that she can't leave so easily!
"Drink!"
Zorani let out a roar, and a thick blood burst from her hands, and she unleashed a powerful cloud of blood-colored energy towards Varus.
At the same time, Zolani directly reversed direction and rushed towards Zuo Chi's side.
Originally, Zuo Chi thought that Zorani was going to attack him, but when Zorani came closer, she suddenly pulled Anaca's body.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chi once again saw a scene that challenged his cognition.
Zorani's body was instantly covered in dark red blood, and the oozing tearing sound continued to come from her body surface, and then, Zorani's torso and limbs were all torn, and she was like a human skin that had been split, and her whole body turned into a bloody mouth.
Under Zuo Chi's gaze, Zorani's split body completely enveloped Anaca's flesh in it, and then the body closed again, and the previous wound was instantly intact.
Zuo Chi: "!? β
After doing all this, Zolani didn't stop any longer, and while throwing several attacks at Zuochi and Varus, she turned into a streamer and swept straight into the distance.
By the time Zuo Chi swept away Zorani's attack, Zolani's figure had disappeared into the yellow sand, and she could no longer sense Zolani's location when she let go of her mental power perception.
At this time, Varus came to Zuochi's side.
He seemed to see Zuo Chi's surprise, so he spoke slowly, "That's one of Zorani's most evil abilities, she can evolve by constantly devouring, and there have been many Darkspawns who have been devoured by her!" β
"Otherwise, how can a mere Zorani be able to compete with us!"
Zuo Chi's eyebrows moved, and he turned his head to look at Varus: "Does this also mean that the further back she drags, the stronger she will be?" β
In the southern part of the Isle of Shadows, a thick stream of blood light erupted from beneath the city of Hylia, followed by a wyvern armed with a blood-colored halberd smashing through the solid ground.
The dragon's wings flapped as he turned his head to look to the west.
That's the direction of Shurima!
"General, I'll help you kill Zorani, and then give her body as a gift to you!"
Just a moment ago, another Darkspawn broke through the seal with the body of an elemental wurm, and went straight to Shurima, corresponding to the general's summons.
Darkspawn Halberd - Tarosh!
ββ
At the same time, Shurima was in the western desert.
"Boom!"
After a long journey, Aatrox finally returned to the continent of Shurima, and he couldn't wait to find Zorrani and make her disappear from this world completely.
However, as Aatrox tried to find Zorani's location, he sensed more than a dozen of Zorani's breath.
Actually, it was nothing, after all, as long as Aatrox and his siblings converged, they could find them one after another.
But just as Aatrox was about to head all the way east to find Zorani's location, he suddenly saw the dazzling blue light rising into the sky in front of him!
Looking up ahead, Aatrox saw a strange blue building, and a multitude of spirits rushing towards him from the altar.
It was a towering altar with a large blue obelisk above it and a number of devout worshippers below.
"Great Lord Zeroth, we offer our faith, please give us strength."
Listening to the words of these believers, Aatrox's expression suddenly became extremely tyrannical.
"Zelas!"
(The whole Shurima has become a mess.) οΌ
