Southwest of Shurima, the Great Sai Desert.

After fleeing with Sivir from Bergunn in the northern part of the empire, Nasus did not hesitate to rush as fast as he could.

"Brother, where are you?"

Nasus leaned over and grabbed a handful of yellow sand, his eyes full of longing:

"The enemy we have to face is too strong for me to do without you."

Now that Zelas managed to get out of the Emperor's Tomb, what about Renekton?

Nasus never believed that his brother was dead, he was sure that his brother must be somewhere in the desert, and he couldn't wait to see his brother.

Listening to Nasus's whispering, Sivir was very rare and did not resist the trip again.

Because she seems to have discovered that even if she doesn't want to, her fate has been linked to this resurrected empire.

At the same time, Sivir also found that although Nasus beside him had extremely great power, he did not have that condescending attitude when dealing with mortals, but was very humble.

In this way, the two of them traveled from north to south, moving quickly in the desert.

Just as they came to an ancient city on the edge of the Great Sai Desert, Nasus's rapidly moving body suddenly stopped.

Sivir noticed that Nasus's body beside him was actually trembling, and the violent energy that overflowed from his body made Sivir feel a great pressure.

You know, even when he faced those Darkborns just now, Nasus didn't show such radicalism, but now, Nasus lost his temper.

"Bachelor?"

Sivir looked at Nasus beside him with a puzzled expression, only to find that he was staring at the desert ahead.

"The imperial daughter, if the timing is not right, you will leave immediately, you must not have any stay, go to the imperial capital to find Your Majesty!"

The moment Nasus's words fell, his voice changed from a whisper to a roar of hatred:

"Zelas!"

"Nasus, it seems that Renekton hasn't found him yet."

At this time, another gloomy voice came, and at the same time, Sivir saw that on the horizon in front of her and Nasus, a row of blue Olympiad energy bodies was rushing towards this side, led by a strange energy body more than ten meters tall and covered in blue.

Ancient Witch Spirit - Zeroth!

If there was anyone in this world who could make the calm Nasus hate him so much that he wanted to strip him to the bone, then Zelas might be the only one, and Nasus's hatred for Zelas was even more than that of the Darkspawn.

Three thousand years ago, the Shurima Empire was shattered by the man in front of him, and in order to seal it away, Nasus lost his favorite brother!

Nasus sealed Zelas and his brother in the Emperor's Tomb with his own hands, a scene he will never forget.

Now, three thousand years later, with the Emperor's Tomb being reopened and Azir reborn, Zelas has naturally escaped from the Emperor's Tomb.

And as soon as he got out of trouble, Zelas chose to go to Nerima and proclaim himself emperor there, establishing a regime that tried to compete with the Shurima Empire.

In public and private, Nasus and Zeroth are endless!

However, when he heard Zelas's words, Nasus's heart couldn't help but feel a wave because he heard the news of his brother.

"What did you do with Renekton!"

"What did I do to him?"

Zelas came not far from Nasus, and he looked at Nasus condescendingly, his voice full of inexplicable sarcasm:

"Of course I won't do anything to him, I'm just telling him some of the glorious deeds of your brother. If I'm right, Renekton should be looking for you at this time, and your good brother is now eager to break you to pieces, and to crush your bones to ashes. ”

Zelath opened his hand, he couldn't wait to see what it would be like when Nasus and Renekton met.

Listening to Zeroth's words, Nasus's heart couldn't help but flash a flash of worry.

He wasn't worried about what Zelath was saying, but he was worried about what danger Renekton would encounter.

His younger brother was born with an acute child.,He always likes to use violence to solve problems.,If it was okay before.,At least his brother helped him wipe his ass.。

But now, judging by Shurima's current situation, both the Darkspawn and Zelas may be in danger for their younger brother.

Nasus had already decided that after sending Sivir back to the Imperial Capital, he would go to find Renekton and make sure to bring him back to his side.

It's just that Zelas needs to be dealt with first!

Just then, Zelas's voice continued: "Nasus, leave this woman and Charikar behind, and I can get you out of here alive." ”

After receiving the news of his little brother before, Zelas personally rushed to this side.

It's just that Zelas doesn't want to kill Nasus with his own hands, because he wants to see Nasus and Renekton kill each other, which is the beautiful vision he has fantasized about for thousands of years!

Nasus held Sivir behind: "Don't you think, betrayer! ”

Zelas's body was suspended in the air, and a thick amount of sorcery energy began to emerge from his hands.

"Nasus, once you and your brother couldn't stop me, and now you think you can?"

"Then try!"

Zelas has been in the tombs of emperors for thousands of years, and so is Nasus!

For three thousand years, he had been preparing to kill Zelas all the time, and now the day had finally come.

Holding the War Scepter in his hand, Nasus erected a circular circle around Sivir, which could block the attacks of those arcane energy bodies for Sivir, and he turned into a black streamer and rushed towards Zelas in front of him.

As Nasus rushed towards Zelas, his body was rapidly growing, and his ascension form suddenly appeared.

By the time he arrived in front of Zeroth, Nasus was already taller than Zeroth.

The soul-draining slash slashed down and shot straight above Zeroth's head, who raised his arm drenched in blue energy.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion of energy sounded between the two, and their bodies flew upside down at the same time.

However, just as Nasus forcibly stopped the body flying upside down, there was a deep surprise in his eyes.

From the collision alone, he could see that Zelas's power was much stronger than it was three thousand years ago.

However, Nasus could never retreat because of this.

Blazing ascension divine power burst out from his heart, flowing through his limbs and hundreds of remains, and his body was covered in dazzling golden light.

Although he is called a scholar, this does not mean that Nasus's force will be weak, after all, in addition to the title of scholar, he is also known as the "god of war"!

Wrapped in an unquenchable hatred, Nasus and Zelas collided wildly, and the power of the two made the land devastation, causing the ancient city behind them to be razed to the ground, and even many of Zelas's followers were affected and died in an instant.

It's just that as the battle progressed, Nasus's worries became more and more serious.

Because he found that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't do anything about Zelas.

On the contrary, Zelas's attacks seemed to be never tireless, and every arcane energy was enough to inflict massive damage on him.

He was stronger now than he was three thousand years ago, and without his brother's help, Nasus would not have been able to defeat Zelas.

"Bang! Click! ”

For a moment, arcane energy like chains of lightning surfaced in Zeroth's hands, and the chains wrapped around Nasus's body, throwing him toward the earth below.

Nasus's body carried a huge force and pushed a hideous passage through the ancient city behind him, and all the buildings on both sides were cut in half.

By this time, Nasus could already feel that the strength in his body was rapidly decreasing, and his body was already covered with scorched marks, and black-red blood was dripping on the ground.

"Nasus, you are too weak, you were like this, and you are still like this!"

At this time, Zelas's voice came again: "Without your brother, you will never be able to defeat me, but unfortunately, your brother will never be able to help you again!" ”

Listening to Zeroth's wanton taunts, Nasus's eyes were filled with hatred and unwillingness.

Just as Nasus was about to get up and charge at Zelas again, Zeroth's ensuing attack knocked him to the ground again.

Levitated in the air, Zelas's right arm flailed, and the lightning chains flew into the sky with countless pieces of rubble and building debris, and slammed them down on Nasus below.

"Boom!"

Like a mountain weighing down on him, Nasus's already badly injured body was overwhelmed and could no longer stand up.

"Hahaha!"

Zeroth's laughter echoed in the sky as he looked down condescendingly at Nasus:

"Nasus, you are weak, but I will not kill you, because someone will kill you for me. I believe it won't be long before I see that scene! ”

Zelas's words fell, and his gaze turned to Sivir, who was protected by Nasus in the middle of the great array at the edge of the ancient city.

"I believe that this is the current princess of Shurima, the benefactor who released me from the emperor's mausoleum."

Zelas looked at Sivir, his eyes burning with blue flames filled with murderous intent.

As long as he can kill Sivir, the inheritance of the Nashurima Empire will be cut off, and when he kills Azir again, he will have nothing to worry about.

He wasn't a Darkborn, he was once just a lowly slave, and he had never sworn allegiance to the royal family, so he wouldn't spare any of the royals.

Thinking of this, Zelas's Arcanon Pulse immediately rushed towards Sivir.

The large array erected by Nasus shattered in an instant, and Zelas's attack came to Sivir.

Just as Sivir had closed her eyes trembling, she was suddenly attracted by the sound of the earth trembling in front of her, and then she saw a heavy stone wall erected in front of her.

The stone wall was offset by the Arcane Pulse, and although the stone wall was shattered instantly, the Arcane Pulse was also reduced to an acceptable level.

Sivir's body was blown off and rolled long in the sand before stopping.

At the same time, Nasus suddenly noticed that the gravel and building debris that had been pressing on him had come loose and had been lifted upward.

“！！”

Nasus's eyes flickered, and an anxious cry rang in his ears.

"Your Excellency, hurry up, I can't hold out for long, we have to leave as soon as possible."

Nasus jerked his head to look, only to see a short-haired girl in an earthy yellow robe hiding behind a distant building, and the girl's hands were still shining with a glowing gray light.

"Taliyah, how did you end up here?" Nasus was a little surprised.

Nasus still knew the girl who had come to Azir with her people, after all, her abilities were really special, and she could even be said to be extremely powerful.

Nasus didn't expect Taliyah to be here.

Taliyah quickly explained, "His Majesty Azir sent me out to look for the remnants scattered in the desert, and I noticed movement here. ”

"Don't talk about it, let's get out of here."

Hearing this, Nasus's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of sadness, he was afraid that he would harm the kind girl in front of him.

"Leave me alone, you leave quickly, leave with the princess!" Nasus whispered.

"Oh?"

At this moment, Zelas, whose energy pulse was blocked, couldn't help but perceive his surroundings in confusion, and quickly looked this way.

The building where Taliyah was hiding was shattered, and she was completely exposed to Zeroth.

When he saw this girl who could control the rocks, a strange thought came to Zelas's mind.

There is no doubt that in the desert of Shurima, Taliyah's abilities are too perverted, and with a slight change, she will undoubtedly become a weapon of war.

Zelas waved his hand at Taliyah's side, intending to capture Taliyah alive and bring her back to train to increase his side of the stack.

Taliyah erected several stone walls once more, and jerked his right arm up, summoning a number of monstrous rock spikes to attack Zelas's body.

It's just that Nasus can't compete with Zelas, so with the current power of Taliyah, how can he cause harm to Zelas.

The rock spikes were erased in an instant, the stone walls shattered, and Zeroth's attack sent Taliyah flying upside down, slamming into the houses behind her.

"Taliyah, get out of here!"

Nasus's arms struck the wreckage of the building that was pressing down on him, and he kept shouting at Taliyah, "Leave me alone, take the princess away!" ”

Taliyah tossed away the rubble that was pressing on her and staggered to her feet.

"University Scholar"

"Get out of here!"

Looking at everything in front of her with complicated eyes, Taliyah finally bit her lower lip and rushed in the direction where Sivir was.

And as he rushed in that direction, as if to intimidate Zeroth, Taliyah shouted:

"Your Majesty and the army are rushing towards this side, I believe that soon, he will come to save you!"

Hearing Taliyah's words, although Zelas didn't show anything special, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

In his opinion, whether Taliyah's words were true or not, it was not yet time for him to fight Azir.

But Zelas was confident that he would be able to control the two women in front of him before that happened.

With a wave of his hand, crackling blue lightning shot out again, heading straight for Taliyah and Sivir.

Taliyah stood in front of Sivir, gritting her teeth and casting her rock magic with all her might, stone walls in front of her and rock spikes charging at Zelath once more.

Taliyah knew that she was no match for Zelas, but she also had to do her best to live up to Nasus's expectations.

"Weak mortals!"

As Zelath saw Taliyah's stone walls shatter under his attack, he didn't even bother to fend off Taliyah's rock spikes.

Taliyah stood in front of Sivir, her body trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her palms.

At this moment, she was very worried about whether she and Sivir would be able to get out of here alive.

Beneath Zeroth's body, Taliyah's rock spikes had pierced his body, but he didn't stop them in the slightest, allowing them to come to him.

However, in the next second, Zelas's body suddenly shook violently, and even the arcane energy that made up the body was slightly disordered.

Just as those rock spikes with a diameter of less than one meter were about to come to him, he was shocked to find that a wave of energy from nowhere had merged into these rock spikes, and these spikes had changed from spikes to giant stone pillars almost instantly!

More than a dozen massive pillars of rock several meters in diameter rushed from all directions in the direction where Zelas was, and Zelas was in the center of these pillars.

"Boom! Click! ”

In the violent roar, the tremendous force even caused the rock pillar to turn into powder from the beginning and extend to the end.

In the dust and smoke, Zelas was no longer visible.

“？？？”

This sudden scene directly made Taliyah look confused, she couldn't figure out when she would be able to use this level of rock magic!?

But in the next second, a voice that was all too familiar to Taliyah sounded in her ears.

"Why are you still stunned, why don't you run!"

Hearing the voice, Taliyah and Xavier turned to look behind them at the same time, and then a completely different look appeared on their faces.

Taliyah: "Left Pool? It's you! ”

Sivir took a half step back, and she suddenly felt that she was really a wolf and a tiger at the moment, and Zelas had not yet solved it, and there was another team with the Darkborn.

Opposite Taliyah, Zuo Chi shouldered three weapons, squinting at the smoke ahead.

In the next moment, Zuo Chi's long knife came out of its sheath and slashed forward.

The furious Olympiad energy pierced through the earthy yellow dust and smoke, and slammed into Zuo Chi's long knife.

"Boom!"

In the dust and smoke, Zelas's figure flew out and collided directly with Zuo Chi.

"Ascendant!" Zeros roared.

Zuo Chi was suspended in the air, looking Zelas up and down at this time, and after a moment, Zuo Chi said lightly:

"Zelas, with me, I can't let you hurt them, Azir and his army will be here soon, you wait for death!"

Hearing Zuochi's words, Zelas couldn't help but fall silent.

From the collision just now, he was already able to sense Zuo Chi's strength, and he knew very well that Zuo Chi was no weaker than Nasus in the slightest.

Maybe given time, he can beat Zuochi, but what about after that?

Azir and his army are coming!

Thinking of this, Zelas's gaze fell on Sivir and Taliyah again.

At present, it is the most correct choice to stop the loss in time and leave as soon as possible.

"We'll see you again soon!"

As the words fell, Zelas quickly fled into the distance, but Zuo Chi did not stop him, after all, whether Azir came with an army or not, only he himself knew.

Just as Zeroth's figure was about to disappear into the teleportation portal, he suddenly turned to look at Nasus in the ruins.

"Nasus, I'm sure you'll soon receive my gift to you!"

As the words fell, Zelas and his followers disappeared from view.

At this point, the dust has finally settled.

Zuo Chi fell from the sky, and he first came to Nasus, the earthy yellow light in his hand lit up, and the building that pressed on Nasus's body was lifted up and slammed to the side.

Zuo Chi smiled a little helplessly: "Scholar, please get up." ”

Nasus looked at the earthy yellow light in Zuo Chi's hand with a scrutinizing gaze, and he wondered why Zuo Chi also used rock magic.

Could it be that he and Taliyah are of the same race?

And isn't Zuo Chi on the same team as Varus, and why is it here?

Could it be that he suddenly woke up and was ready to take refuge in the Shurima Empire?

Slowly getting up, Nasus bowed slightly towards Zuo Chi: "Thank you, Your Excellency." ”

Zuo Chi shook his head, then looked at Taliyah on the side.

Taliya jumped up to Zuo Chi's side, and she looked at Zuo Chi like a curious baby:

"Zuo Chi, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to be stronger. Why are you here? ”

Obviously, Taliyah's problem is also what Nasus and Xavier want to know.

Zuo Chi spread his hands: "I was going to look for someone, but when I passed by here, I sensed the movement here, so I came over to take a look." ”

Facing this good friend of his, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise his hand and knock on her head: "Why are you so tiger, you dare to rashly attack Zelas." ”

Taliyah covered her forehead with her hand and said with some frustration: "Then I can't watch the scholar and the princess being killed by that person, they are all my friends." ”

Zuo Chi still knows Taliya's enthusiastic nature very well, so he didn't ask too much about this issue.

Beside them, Nasus and Xavier looked at Zuo Chi's familiar appearance, and they were very curious.

Eventually, to be on the safe side, Nasus asked, "If I remember correctly, Your Excellency is supposed to be Varus's companion, why is he here?" ”

As Charikar's Guardian, Nasus had to ask these questions.

Zuo Chi waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not here for Calika, and I'm parting ways with Varus, I'm going to find someone this time." ”

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, looking at his natural expression, Nasus's heart settled down a little.

Have you really abandoned the darkness and turned to the light?

After all, they had just saved him, and Nasus naturally wanted to show his kindness.

"Who are you looking for? Maybe I can show you the way. ”

"Oh?"

Zuo Chi's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "I'm looking for Aatrox, do you know where he is?" ”

Nasus: "."

——

This is the hinterland of the worst environment in the Dasai Desert, where the wind sweeps the yellow sand and ravages every corner, frantically plundering all the moisture and temperature of this land.

It's an absolute no-go place for the living, and even the most experienced explorers and mercenaries wouldn't venture here.

But it was at this moment that there were bursts of footsteps in this forbidden place.

A figure walked out of the sandstorm from far and near, and the sharp sand and gravel could not leave any traces on his body.

The figure's eyes were blood-red, but their eyes were extremely empty, saliva was constantly dripping in the sand from the crocodile-like mouth, and the meniscus axe in his hand was shining with a cold dementor light under the sun.

Butcher of the Desert - Renekton!

After escaping from the Emperor's Tomb, Renekton roamed every corner of Shurima.

He desperately searched for the figure that had been remembered for thousands of years - his brother!

"Nasus, you coward, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

At this moment, a glimmer suddenly flashed in Renekton's empty eyes, as he suddenly felt an aura that was very familiar to him.

Zelas!

Just as Renekton was about to swing his axe, a bird composed entirely of arcane energy appeared in front of him.

When he reached Reekton, the bird dissipated, and only a voice rang in Reekton's ears.

"Nasus is just southeast of the Great Sai Desert!"
