Although the climate is completely opposite to that of Freljord, it is undeniable that Shurima's living conditions are really not much better than those of Freljord.

Zuochi and Varus strode through the desert, the wind swept through the sharp sand and struck them in the face, and the roar of the void creatures could be heard from time to time.

After leaving the battlefield, Zuochi and Varus headed north, intending to find a populated place to inquire about Shurima's recent situation.

"Varus, do you have any plans after asking about Shurima's condition?"

Zuo Chi carried a blood-colored spear on his shoulder and asked Varus beside him.

The three pairs of blades of the spear were exposed to the air, and the body of the spear was wrapped in cloth by Zuo Chi, although Zuo Chi no longer had to worry about being taken away by the Darkspawn weapon, but wrapping it would save him a lot of trouble.

Varus rubbed the longbow in his hand, and he said in a deep voice, "Naturally, we should continue to find Zorani, and then kill her!" ”

Zuo Chi knows.

He shook his head a little helplessly: "Varus, you have also seen that with the current strength of the two of us, it is not enough to kill Zorani. Probably, we need to strengthen our forces in certain directions. ”

As Zuo Chi said, with Zorani's current strength and her blood magic, it would be too difficult for Zuo Chi and Varus to kill Zorani.

"And"

Zuo Chi suddenly looked at Varus: "Varus, will the Darkspawn really be killed completely?" ”

Zuo Chi was carrying a Darkspawn who had just been killed by him on his shoulder, but no one dared to say that Anaka was really dead.

As long as he finds a suitable body, Anaka will be able to resurrect with a new body in no time.

The only way to kill a Darkspawn may be to shatter its body.

But how terrifying it is to smash a Legendary-level weapon.

For example, the Anaka that Zuo Chi is carrying on his shoulder now is a low-level Legendary weapon, only one level lower than Varus and Raaste, and two levels lower than Aatrox and Zorani.

The Darkspawn could have been killed before they were sealed into weapons, as long as their bodies were destroyed, they were truly dead.

But now, it seems that the Star Spirit Clan's seal on the Dark Spawn has become another way to survive.

They can use their physical bodies to remove their souls from their weapons, and when their bodies are destroyed, their souls will return to their weapons, and although it will be extremely painful to be sealed in the weapons, at least they will not actually die.

Hearing Zuo Chi's question, Varus's eyes became a little complicated, but his tone was still extremely firm.

"I will destroy Zorani's body, and then take her body and seal her forever in a cage of darkness!"

Zuo Chi was slightly stunned, and sure enough, just as he thought, Varus was also unable to kill Zorani completely, but only took her body away.

However, just as Zuo Chi was about to continue to say something, Varus suddenly muttered:

"If you want to kill a Darkspawn completely, there really seems to be no other way than that thing."

Zuo Chi's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Varus: "What?" ”

Varus shook his head: "It's useless to say it, that thing has long been lost with the fall of Empress Setaka, and I think it should have been recovered by the Giant God Clan." ”

“？？”

Let Varus say this, Zuo Chi only felt that there were ten thousand ants crawling in his heart.

"Tell me, I'm going to have to try it, just in case I know where it is!"

Varus glanced at Zuo Chi, for no reason, Varus suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the human in front of him seemed to know a little bit of everything, especially those very unpopular things.

After a little silence, Varus was about to say something, but at this moment, his and Zuochi's eyes suddenly moved at the same time, and then they looked up at the city in front of them at the same time.

Ahead, a quaint city stands majestically in the dusk desert, and there is no figure on the ruined city wall, only the crooked gate tells the two of them the history of this city.

Obviously, no one has been to this city for a long time, and even the gates and walls are in ruins.

But it was in such a city that Zuochi and Varus suddenly noticed two violent energy fluctuations, followed by the roar of the collapse of buildings.

Zuo Chi turned his head to look at Varus, but saw that he was frowning at this time, holding his breath and perceiving everything in front of him.

"Varus?" Zuo Chi shouted suspiciously.

Varus retracted his gaze, and his tone became a little solemn: "It's Nasus and Moniera!" ”

For this answer, Zuo Chi was really a little surprised.

Nasus.

Moniera

Nasus Zochi must have known him, after all, he was one of the few orthodox Ascended Gods in the Shurima Empire.

But this Moniira, Zuo Chi really hasn't heard of it.

"Who is Moniera?" Zuo Chi asked.

Varus fiddled with the longbow in his hand and said slowly, "Darkborn! ”

“！！！”

Zuo Chi's heart jumped, didn't this mean that in the ancient city in front of him, a Flying Ascension God and a Dark Spawn fought?

For no reason, Zuo Chi grabbed Varus: "Let's go and see!" ”

Zuo Chi's body had just rushed out, but he found that Varus beside him had not moved, and Zuo Chi turned around a little suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Behind Zuo Chi, Varus just stood in place in a daze, and Zuo Chi could even tell that Varus didn't seem to want to meet Nasus.

The roar in his ears was becoming more and more intense, and Zuochi came to Varus's side and did not speak again.

"He should have come out to preside over the overall situation at that time!"

Suddenly, Varus said something out of nowhere.

"Huh?" The left pool is confused.

Ignoring Zuo Chi, Varus suddenly roared:

"There are only a few Ascended Gods who have not been infected by the Void, and as the commander of the new generation of Ascended Gods at that time, he should have stood up and presided over the overall situation! But he didn't, he allowed the Shurima Empire to fall! He's a traitor too! ”

This time, Zuochi seemed to understand what Varus was saying.

As Varus said, during Azir's Ascension ceremony, Zelas pushed Azir off the Ascension Altar and stole the Ascension Power that originally belonged to Azir.

Without the approval of the Sun Order, Zelath was unable to invoke the power of Ascension, but instead, the dark magic in his body reacted violently with the power of Ascension, which caused an explosion to suddenly envelop the entire Emperor Shurima.

And just when the solar disc collapsed, the tsar fell, and the dragons of the Shurima Empire were leaderless, the negative emotions in the hearts of those ascended gods who had participated in the Void War were completely aroused without the suppression of the solar disk.

In that case, Aatrox, as the commander of the previous generation of Ascension Gods, his mind has been distorted and he can no longer lead the overall situation, and the only person who can preside over the overall situation at that time seems to be the new generation of Ascension God Commander at that time - Nasus!

Unfortunately, the death of Azir and the pain of sealing his brother with his own hands crushed Nasus, and he chose to remain silent at the point when he needed to stand up.

And this led to the negative emotions in the hearts of those Ascended Gods who had participated in the Void War gradually expanded, and finally they were reduced to the Dark Spawn, and the Shurima Empire was completely destroyed.

At this point, the glorious Empire of Gushurima, which had been glorious for nearly 3,000 years, completely fell.

It was also from that time that the entire Runeterras entered a new era - the First Darkspawn War.

And this dozen lasted for 1,500 years.

In the past 1,500 years, it has been a great deal of life.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Nasus also played a very important role in this.

However, Zuochi could not say anything about this, after all, Nasus was also devastated at the time, and he lost his favorite brother.

The affection between Nasus and his brother Renekton is enough to surpass almost any other emotion in the world.

It can only be said that providence makes people, and the fall of a glorious empire is always a combination of many factors.

"Varus"

Zuo Chi said softly: "Perhaps, Nasus also had his troubles at that time. ”

Varus withdrew his thoughts, and he looked at Zuo Chi in front of him, the depression in his eyes had receded.

"It doesn't matter, it's all gone. Everything in the past has nothing to do with me now! ”

With that, Varus walked past Zuochi and pulled him in the direction of the city.

For no reason, Zuo Chi suddenly asked: "Varus, if in the future, Zelas who escaped from the predicament will attack Azir again, and Azir is powerless to resist Zelas, what will you do?" ”

Zuo Chi had asked Aatrox this question a long time ago, and now he was eager to see how Varus reacted.

Hearing Zuo Chi's question, Varus's body shook, and he didn't answer Zuo Chi at the first time.

After a long time, just before the two of them came to the city, Varus said slowly: "Now I am only a Dark Spawn, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Same answer as Aatrox.

Zuo Chi pursed his lips, perhaps, they are really no longer the ascension gods they once were.

Without further speaking, Zuochi and Varus climbed over the walls of the city and rushed in the direction from which the energy fluctuations had come from.

On the other side, in the middle of the city, in an ancient library of great scale.

"Moniera, get out of here!"

In the library, between the neat rows of bookshelves, Nasus's scepter of war pointed at the unruly figure opposite, his eyes full of warnings.

On the opposite side of Nasus, a figure dressed in a shabby black robe with obvious wildebeest features on the surface of his body was holding his hands on the bookshelf, looking at Nasus with a playful expression.

"Yo Yo Yo, see who this is? It turned out to be our university scholar. ”

As a Darkspawn who had participated in the Void Wars, Monila clearly knew Nasus, and it seemed that he had come specifically for Nasus at this time.

Moniera, as one of the few independent Darkborns who has survived to this day, does not belong to Aatrox's side, nor does he belong to either, he is just a lone ranger.

Ignoring Moniera's cynicism, Nasus continued to warn in a deep voice, "One last time, get out of here!" ”

Instead of backing down, Moniela moved a few closer to Nasus.

"Scholar, I need some information from you, as soon as I get the information, I'll leave immediately."

As he spoke, his gaze still resting on the books on the bookshelf beside him, "I know, these books are your treasures, and you don't want to see these books destroyed in our battle, do you?" ”

Nasus's cherishing of books is something that almost all of Shurima knows.

Whenever Shurima's army conquered a place, Nasus forbade his soldiers to destroy the local library, and even fought with his brother Renekton for this.

It is also because of Nasus that many ancient books of the ancient Shurima Empire have been well preserved to this day.

It is precisely because of these books that the civilization of Shurima has never been broken, and the former glory of the ancient Shurima Empire has never been forgotten.

Now, in the city called Nashrami, Monila is ready to blackmail Nasus on the condition of these books.

Nasus's eyes were fixed on Monila across the street, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

Monila spread her hands and suddenly grinned:

"I want Empress Setaka's weapon, you know where it is, tell me, I'll turn around and go."

As a loner, Monila must do everything he can to increase his power so that he can have the capital to compete with the other small groups of Darkborn.

The weapon of the Ascended Martial Empress Setaka is undoubtedly his best choice!

As soon as Moniera's words fell, Nasus's brow furrowed.

However, due to Moniera's threat, Nasus said, "I haven't seen Charikar in thousands of years, and I don't know where it is!" You can leave. ”

Listening to Nasus's words, Moniara's expression did not change, and she still looked at Nasus with a light smile:

"Scholar, it's not good to lie. If there is anyone else in Shurima who can find Charikar today, it seems that you are the only one, right? After all, you were the only Charikar appointed by the Tsar. ”

Nasus's expression didn't change in the slightest, but he continued: "I gave Charikar to Taianali at the beginning, and I don't know where Charikar went after that. ”

"Really?"

Monila tilted her head, and suddenly, he grinned, then brandished his long knife and slashed at the bookshelf beside him.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the powerful power of the Dark Spawn caused the bookshelves that were several meters high to completely explode, and the books on the shelves were also blasted into snow, falling to the ground in a sprinkling of air.

"Bachelor's degree, this is the first one. I hope you can tell the truth for the sake of other collections. ”

As soon as Moniera's voice fell, a dark shadow came straight at Nasus from where he had just been.

Monila only felt an incomparably huge force coming, and his whole body was choked by the other party's neck and flew backwards backwards.

"Bang!"

Slammed into the walls of the library, Moniera's entire body embedded in the walls.

Monila looked ahead in horror, only to see that Nasus had raised the scepter of war in his hand and rushed towards him again.

"How is this possible!"

Monila never imagined that Nasus's power would be so strong.

Didn't they all say that Nasus and his brother were two extremes, and that Nasus was a Sven Bachelor!?

Even if he is known as the god of war, it seems that it is only because of his high tactical level, right?

Moniela had never seen Nasus make a move, so he had always thought that Nasus's power should be just an ordinary ascension to the level of a god, and the reason why he was admired was only because of his academic level.

But now it seems that Nasus's power is worth re-evaluating.

However, the things he cherished were destroyed by Monila, and it was clear that Nasus could not just let Monila go.

The scepter of war in his hand swung as Nasus slashed towards Monila one after another.

From the time of the ancient Shurima to the present day, Monila has been sealed by the Star Spirit in the middle, but Nasus has really stayed on the Shurima continent.

In thousands of years, even a dog must have improved its own strength, let alone the Ascended God Commander of this generation!

Nasus hadn't taken the lead before, just because he didn't want his favorite books to be destroyed.

And now, now that we know that compromises do not protect books, there is no need to tolerate them.

Under Nasus's attack, Moniera's figure continued to retreat, and at this time, he no longer had the same pretension as before, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

If he was given a chance to do it all over again, Monila wouldn't be so impulsive again.

It's just a pity that it's impossible to start all over again, and now Nasus just wants to kill Monila as soon as possible.

Finally, Monila, knowing that she could not resist, chose to escape.

He raised his long knife and slammed Nasus back with all his might, as he turned into a black light and headed straight for the walls of the library.

"Boom!"

A large hole was directly knocked into the wall of the library, and the wind, sand and light from the outside world immediately entered the library.

However, just as Monila rushed out of the library, thinking he had managed to escape, he suddenly heard a dull whisper from behind:

"Blight!"

In an instant, a strange purple-black power permeated Moniera's body, and Monila felt an extremely strong sense of prostration coming from his body, and he actually felt like he couldn't move his legs.

At the same time as Moniela paused, the figure of Nasus rushed out of the library and headed straight for him.

Looking at Nasus's figure, Monila knew that if he didn't use all his strength, he might not even be able to walk today.

"Bang!"

Blazing blood erupted from his body, and Moniera's aura began to rise, and a pair of giant horns on top of his head were rapidly extending, and his legs were covered with strange scale armor.

Nasus, on the other hand, watched what had happened to Moniera, and his hands holding the scepter of war tightened.

Immediately afterward, the pure but rich power of ascension began from his heart and flowed to every corner of his body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Nasus had been running towards Moniera, and his body was getting bigger and bigger as he ran, the force of the furious ascension raging around his body, destroying everything around it.

Unlike some of the ascensions in the left pool, Nasus's form is extremely perfect, and at the same time, the increase in size is also huge.

By the time Nasus's body stopped growing, his height had come to nearly thirty meters!

Looking down, the scepter of war in Nasus's hand slashed down.

"Darkborn, die!"

This time, in the hands of Nasus in his heyday, Monila had no more power to fight back, and was soon on the verge of collapse.

Just as Nasus's last hammer was about to fall, Monila reluctantly yelled at Nasus:

"Nasus, the next time I break the seal, I'll make you regret it!"

"You don't have a chance."

At the moment when Moniera's voice fell, Nasus's hammer had already fallen.

The tremendous force fell on Moniera's shoulders, directly causing his body to completely languish.

Normally, Moniera's soul would have returned to the weapon at this point, and all connection with the physical body would be severed.

Monila was suddenly shocked to find that Nasus's hand lit up with an incomparably dazzling golden light, and a golden blade phantom appeared in his hand!

"Nasus, Charikar is in your hands!" These were the last words that Monila uttered before her death.

In the next moment, Nasus's large, golden hand slapped on Moniera's head.

"Boom!"

With a violent roar, Moniera's skull exploded completely, and the rich blood and ascension power rushed into the sky together.

Monila was like a balloon with a hole in it, and the power in his body was rapidly draining.

By the time the commotion in Nashramme had completely subsided, Nasus was left with a withered corpse and a shattered blade!

At this point, Monila the Darkspawn died at the hands of the ascending god Nasus!

Leaning over to take Moniera's body in his hands, Nasus turned his head to look at the complex behind him.

"Varus, come out. Are you also here for Calikar? ”

——

After entering the city, Zuochi and Varus sat on the roof of a building, watching everything in front of them with interest.

"Is this the ascension form of the full body?"

Although Zuo Chi knew that Nasus was strong and his Ascension Body was strong, after witnessing it up close today, Zuo Chi's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

If nothing else, the huge body of twenty or thirty meters tall alone is enough to be visually impactful.

Beside Zuo Chi, Varus was also looking at Nasus in front of him, and he looked at Nasus with a faint look of envy.

Once, he was like this, bright and majestic, bright and sacred.

Now, he's just a Darkborn.

Zuochi and Varus had witnessed almost all of the battle in the second half of Nasus's Moniera, and just as the golden blade wheel lit up in Nasus's hand, Varus suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Nasus's hand, and said softly:

"Zuo Chi, don't you want to know how to kill a Darkspawn once and for all. That's the answer! ”

"Huh?" Zuochi moved slightly, and looked at Nasus's hand in the direction that Varus was pointing.

There, Zuo Chi saw a weapon that he was extremely familiar with, it was a cross-shaped blade wheel!

As a shooter player in his previous life, Zuo Chi was too familiar with this flywheel-like weapon.

At this moment, Varus continued to ask, "Zuochi, do you know the origin of the Gushurima Empire?" ”

Don't say it, Zuo Chi really understands!

About 4,600 years ago, after the Ascended Martial Arts, Setaka gained the power from the peak of the Titan, and the Titan helped Setaka build a strange structure in the Shurima Desert that could access the power of the sun for his own use, the Sun Disc.

The solar disc can extract the power of the sun and infuse it into the mortals, so that the mortals who have obtained the power of the sun can soar and obtain the power of the gods!

Setaka and Aatrox were the first batch of Ascension Gods, and at the same time, Setaka's Ascension Divine Power was the most perfect and abundant, and she was the most powerful Ascension, even stronger than Aatrox.

With the Solar Disc and the Ascension of the Celestials, Setaka established the Ancient Shurima Empire, which spanned the Shurima Continent, and began to expand its territory at a rapid pace, making the Ancient Shurima the most powerful empire in the entire Runeterra.

If it weren't for the later Acacia summoning the Void, perhaps Shurima would have dominated the entire Runeterras with an unstoppable momentum.

And the founding martial queen of the Gushurima Empire, Setaka, she is undoubtedly the absolute belief in the hearts of all the ascended gods.

Even when Zuo Chi first met Aatrox, he had heard him mention that the Ascended Martial Empress Setaca, who could make Aatrox, whose heart was higher than the sky, surrender to it, and how powerful Setaka would be.

It's just that Zuo Chi is a little puzzled, what does Martial Empress Setaka have to do with what they are talking about completely killing the Dark Spawn now.

Seeing that Zuo Chi actually knew the origin of Gu Shu Ruima, the surprise in Varus's eyes became a little deeper.

He restrained the contempt in his eyes and said very solemnly:

"Now that you know Empress Setaka, do you know what weapons she wield?"

"Weapons?" Zuo Chi asked rhetorically, "That wheel?" ”

Varus looked into the distance and said slowly:

"When the Empress founded the Shurima Empire, she traveled to the top of the Titan Peak and brought back an incomparably powerful weapon from there. Its name is - Charikaar! ”

"Charikar is a true artifact that Empress Setakar used to slay countless powerful enemies and lay the foundation for the establishment of the Shurima Empire."

"Charicaal!?" This time, the look in Zuo Chi's eyes suddenly became extremely exciting.

Seemingly unaware of Zuochi's expression, Varus continued, "Calikar also has one of the most powerful traits, and this is also the key to Empress Setaka's ability to command the Ascension Gods. ”

"It is unmatched in its lethality to all Ascension Gods, and it also has the ability to plunder Ascension. Charikar is the key to the Titan Peak giving Empress Setaka control over the Ascendant Legion, and no one can make waves with it. ”

"If we want to kill Zorani, Charikar is undoubtedly the best choice!"

Zuo Chi tilted his head to look at Varus, and muttered suspiciously:

"It turns out that Sivir's weapon has such a big origin? But how do I feel that this weapon is no different from scrap metal in her hands. ”

Varus: "??? ”
