I don't know when it began, the already tense atmosphere in Shurima Continent became even more solemn.

People from all over the Shurima continent continued to travel to that land that had long been uninhabited, and a powerful demigod aura echoed in the dust and sand, making all the creatures in the desert hidden.

This has only happened twice in the past.

One was the Ascension Legion of the Shurima Empire against the Acacia Void, and the other was the First War of the Darkspawn.

And now, this atmosphere of slaughter seems to have reappeared!

Southeast of the continent of Shurima, Acacia.

In front of the clearing, where the corpses of void creatures were piled up, thousands of powerful warriors, including Zorani, gathered here.

Without exception, these people are covered in white cloaks, their skin is dark red, and their bodies are covered with hideous, withered muscle textures.

The blood in these people's bodies is extremely tyrannical, as if external power has been forcibly poured into the body.

Under the transformation of Zorani's blood magic, they are no longer the mortals they once were, and now they have the terrifying power of one against a hundred, but with this, there is also a sharp reduction in their lifespan.

In front of thousands of white-robed warriors, there were nearly ten figures with somewhat strange shapes.

They all curled up under their cloaks, as if they didn't want to be seen in their strange form.

They are all Shurima warriors who have failed to ascend - Bakai.

Whether it was these Bakai or the white-robed warriors, they were all looking at the high platform in front of them with fanatical eyes.

There, Zorani stood proudly with bony wings on her back, and behind her, there was a figure much higher than the high platform, he was just standing behind Zorani, but it could give people an incomparably terrifying pressure.

He was armed with a meniscus axe, his muscles turning from gray-green to dark red, a mouthful of fangs and sharp teeth flashing with a metallic cold light, and a row of hideous spikes growing from top to bottom along his back along his spine, as he stared at all the living creatures in front of him with blood-colored eyes.

The former ascended god Lexton has now been completely corrupted by Zorani.

Like a walking corpse, he just stood quietly behind Zorani, without a trace of glint in his eyes, like a machine at Zorani's control.

Zorrani looked at the believers in front of her, her arms outstretched, and she breathed in the thick of the blood around her.

That day will come, and now Zorrani is ready for it!

She has absorbed hundreds of times the number of followers of the Aatrox Legion, and has devoured countless blood qi in this time, including several Bakai who refused to serve her.

Zorrani was sure that her strength was no more than half a point weaker than that of Aatrox as she once was.

Without any reservations, Zolani let go of her aura without restrictions, and her unique aura spread to every corner of the Shurima Continent at an extremely terrifying speed.

Almost at the same time, another aura of the Darkspawn spread out from the Western Realm of Shurima, responding to Zorani's provocation with an unyielding attitude.

"Come on, Aatrox, let me see if you've grown over the millennia!"

Zorane's whispers lingered like an eternal nightmare in this already barren land.

What she didn't notice was that in the sky above them, there was a hidden sound of breaking wind.

They were some very strange golden spirits, they all had a pair of golden wings, and the energy that built the body was also a righteous and awe-inspiring gold.

Morphologically, these spirits don't seem to be capable of fighting, but rather look more like they are monitoring the place. Messenger!

The large eyes at the courier's head watched everything below, and after taking full account of what was now Acacia, they shook their wings and swept swiftly towards Shurima's west.

They flew very high, and from the direction of their flight, it could be seen that their destination should not be within the Shurima Empire, but in the westernmost part of the Shurima Continent, the highest point in the entire Runeterra, the peak of the Giant God!

On the other side, Aatrox and Zuochi stood side by side on top of the ancient city, and behind them were Nasus and all the members of the Darkspawn Legion.

Aatrox clenched the greatsword in his hand, the heart on the greatsword was constantly beating, and the breath belonging to Aatrox rushed into the sky like a storm, responding to Zorani's provocation.

Behind the nine Darkborns, their huge bodies resembling war machines, all waiting for the General's orders.

Once again, a sandstorm swept in the vast desert, and Aatrox's voice rang out at this time.

"Let's go!"

At the moment when Aatrox's words fell, more than a dozen figures jumped down from the ancient city, and at the same time turned into streamers, sweeping all the way to the east.

Aatrox and Left Chi flew at the front, followed by a few flying Darkborns such as Anaka and Tarosh.

The flightless Darkspawns were running fast in the sand below, their footsteps heavily trodden in the sand, which had just been stirred up, but their figures had already swept by.

Ten Darkborns plus two Ascension Gods, the power of a few of them was enough to make the sandstorm tremble.

If you open the perspective, you can see that twelve streamers are starting from the middle of the Shurima continent, speeding towards the west.

At the forefront, Zuo Chi and Aatrox had a little solemn eyes, because they were a little puzzled as to why Zorani appeared in Acacia!

Zuo Chi had thought that Zorani would appear in any corner of the Shurima Continent, even the Imperial Capital of Shurima, but he never thought about the land of Acacia.

As a wasteland located in the southeasternmost corner of Shurima's continent, since the Void War, it has almost become a forbidden place for the living, except for a few remnants, and there are many more dangers in it than Shurima's desert.

But Zorani chose this cursed land.

Zuo Chi's mood at this time was very depressed, and the killing intent towards Zolani in his heart was even more irrepressible.

Whether it was a conspiracy or not, one thing was clear to him: Kai'Sa was still in Acacia!

Zuo Chi only hoped that Kai'Sa would never meet Zorani, let alone try to get close to Zorani and the others, otherwise her appearance was very similar to that of the Void creatures, it would be really too dangerous.

At the back of the line, Nasus followed in the footsteps of the Darkspawn Legion, his eyes tinged with concern in addition to his murderous intent towards Zorani.

In the midst of this, Nasus knew better than anyone how powerful Aatrox and his legions were today.

Will this battle cause the newly rebuilt Shurima Empire to be destroyed again?

Perhaps, Aatrox will be able to defeat Zorani, and he will be able to save his brother, but what about after that?

How should these Darkspawn, who have been tortured in their cages for thousands of years, deal with the world that has hurt them, and how should they face the Shurima Empire, which once again stands tall in the sands?

Before, Nasus's whole heart was on Renekton, but now that he had calmed down, he remembered this kind of problem.

Nasus only hoped that Aatrox would remember the promise he had made under the sun's disk not to do anything that would harm the Shurima Empire.

Time passed little by little, and Zuo Chi and his party were rapidly approaching the southeast of the Shurima Continent, and finally three days later, they crossed most of the Shurima Continent and came to the cursed land!

Along the way, the closer they got to Acacia, the more Void creatures the group encountered, and they even encountered the Axy clan that Zuochi had met when he was in Zoran before.

It's just a pity, if it had been placed in the past, Zuo Chi might have a headache, after all, the number of these void creatures is too much.

But now, with the legion of Aatrox, Zuo Chi just wanted to say to these void creatures:

Sweat profusely, brother!

Now that they are here, even the rumors have calmed down a lot, and they only need to take one more step forward to enter the realm of Acacia.

Ahead, Zorani's aura was still raging, and even Zuo Chi, who was not a Dark Spawn, had already felt it.

Zuochi and Aatrox glanced at each other, and both saw a look of determination in each other's eyes.

"Zuochi, give me Zorani!" Aatrox said in a deep voice.

Zuo Chi nodded affirmatively: "We will help you clear the obstacles!" ”

Looking at his compatriots behind him again, Aatrox was just about to step into the realm of Acacia, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at the west, and his eyes couldn't help but show a strange emotion.

Noticing Aatrox's strangeness, everyone present looked over there.

When Zuo Chi saw where that direction was, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

How did these two end up here?

There, a young man with a Darkspawn scythe stood proudly, and the rich shadow magic followed him, stretching his shadow for a long time.

At the same time, Raastna's hoarse and mournful voice rang out:

"Aatrox, and my fellow citizens, long time no see."

Hearing Raaste's voice, and then looking at Raast in Cain's hand, both Aatrox and his legion members had puzzled looks on their faces.

What is the situation, and why did Raast not transform his body after taking this human after taking it?

When they took the house, they would use blood magic to transform the host's body, shaping it into the closest form to their heyday, but now, the host of Layaste has not been transformed in the slightest except for the left arm.

Could it be that Raaste likes the tone of this carnal mortal?

While the rest of the Darkspawn Legion were still a little confused, Aatrox, who was proficient in blood magic, discovered that Raast didn't seem to have taken Shekaiin's body.

"Raaste, I haven't seen you for thousands of years, and it seems that you have changed even your hobbies." Aatrox said in a deep voice.

Raaste was slightly stunned, and he asked suspiciously, "Aatrox, what do you mean?" ”

Aatrox's mouth opened to reveal an arrogant and wanton smile: "In the past, you liked to harvest life, but now, could it be that you like to harvest wheat?" Is your opponent a large rice field? ”

Raaste: "."

"Puff~"

Zuo Chi couldn't help laughing, and the other Darkspawns couldn't help laughing.

It's ugly, Aatrox, you're getting worse and worse to swear!

"You know what, Aatrox! Stupidity! ”

Raast roared angrily: "I just see that he is a manufacturable material, and I am going to cultivate his physical strength first, and then take it away." ”

"I can break the seal whenever I want!"

Listening to Raaste's words, everyone's eyes fell on Cain's body.

Looking at these powerful figures in front of him, who were often a few meters or even more than ten meters tall, there was a deep shock in Kai Yin's eyes.

Was this the case with the previous Raaste?

Facing everyone's gaze, Cain didn't say much, just nodded: "What Raast said is true. ”

No matter how the two of them quarrel in the nest, but in the face of outsiders, Cain chooses to help Raaste maintain his image.

"Raaste, why are you here?"

Without dwelling further on the question of Raaste's form, Aatrox asked again.

In the past, Raaste and Zorrani didn't have any grudges, so it was a little surprising that Aatrox would appear here.

The eye on Raast's scythe opened, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just that Zorani doesn't like it, and I can smell her filthy breath far away in Ionia!" I'm not here to help you, I'm just trying to kill Zorani. ”

"Uh" Aatrox was stunned, then nodded.

Tiratu's soft voice suddenly came: "Rayast, it's been so long, and your character is still so arrogant." Since you're not trying to help us, why don't you go find her yourself first? ”

"Humph!"

Raast snorted coldly: "I have never liked to owe favors to others, you helped me before, and now I can only repay the favor when I come to help you." ”

Listening to the conversation of several people, Zuo Chi and Kai Yin both had a smile on their faces.

Zuo Chi had learned from Varus when he was in the Infinite Sword Sect before, and during the First Darkspawn War, the entire Runeterris was divided among the heroes, and those powerful Darkspawns occupied the throne and conquered each other.

There are not many Darkspawns who can occupy and consolidate their territory, and each of them is very strong, such as Aatrox and his legions, and Darkspawn Sebo Taru, who dominated most of Valoran's continent at the time.

Raaste wasn't among the best of all the Darkborns at the time, but he still had a coastal territory of his own, roughly south of what is now Phi City and west of the Sea of Watchers.

One of the reasons for this.

Because the territory of Laaste and Aatrox are adjacent to each other, and the territory of Aatrox is large enough to completely block the territory of Laatrox, it directly becomes a natural barrier to the territory of Laatrox.

As a result, Raaste's territory was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only land was occupied by Aatrox and his legions, and Aatrox almost helped Raaste block eighty percent of foreign invasions.

With the protection of Aatrox as a general, Raast only needed to do evil in his own territory at that time, and did not need to worry about the invasion of other Dark Descendants.

It can only be said that with the protection of the general, you can really do whatever you want

So at this juncture where Aatrox is about to crusade against Zorani, he is here, and it seems that everything can be explained.

"Ahem!"

Aatrox coughed lightly, and he turned his head to look at the devastated land of Acacia ahead.

"Let's go!"

Without saying anything more, the group was led by Aatrox and Zuo Chi, and strode into the land of Acacia.

Walking on the dark purple earth, Tarosh said in a deep voice: "Thousands of years have washed away, and this land still shows no signs of recovery. ”

The other Darkspawns were also scrutinizing the land they had fought for, each with a heavy look on their faces.

Ahead, Zuo Chi looked at Aatrox beside him: "Zorani chose this place as the battlefield, there may be traps." ”

Aatrox clenched the greatsword in his hand, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"She must die no matter what!"

Feeling the strong killing intent of Aatrox, Zuo Chi didn't say anything more, he let go of his spiritual power, and always observed any bit of wind and grass around him.

It would be best if you could find Kaisha, and even if you couldn't find it, you could at least observe the movements around her.

The speed of the group's march began to increase, and they could feel that Zorani's breath was in the heart of Acacia!

"Boom!"

A group of war machines sped by, causing a violent roar across the land of Acacia.

The movement here attracted many void creatures, but they didn't know that it was no longer ordinary civilians who caused this movement, but a group of people who had killed their ancestors.

On the other side, Zolani, who had always been sitting on the high platform, slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze seemed to travel thousands of miles and hit Aatrox and his party.

Slowly getting up from the high platform, Zolrani raised her hands high:

"My devotees, this is the only war, and in the future, there will be no more wars in the world!"

Roar!!

The believers below roared in response to Zolani's words, their expressions furious, their eyes not showing the slightest fear of war and death.

Endless blood qi erupted from the crowd, and even a faint red mist appeared in the sky.

The earth trembled, the roar came from far and near, and Zorani's eyes were fixed on the direction from which the sound came.

Finally, in that oppressive and murderous atmosphere, the blood-colored sword slashed through the corpse of the mountain-like void creature, and a figure with wings on its back and a giant sword in hand came straight towards Zorani.

"Zorani, coward!"

The platform where Zorani was was shattered in an instant, and her figure rushed towards the oncoming Aatrox.

The greatsword collided with the Curved Blade Chainsaw, and countless chains of fire flew out from behind Aatrox, colliding with Zorani's chains in the air.

After thousands of years, Aatrox and Zorani met again, and at this moment, both of them had endless killing intent and anger in their eyes.

"Boom!"

With a loud roar, Aatrox and Zorani stepped back at the same time.

It was also at this time that Zuo Chi and his party came behind Aatrox and looked straight ahead.

Aatrox's Darkspawn Legion scattered, staring at Zorani in front of them, while Nasus's gaze fell straight on the figure behind Zorani.

Zorrani looked at the figures behind Aatrox, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect Nasus, Zuochi, and Raaste to be here, and with Aatrox.

Her gaze swept over Zuo Chi, who was standing side by side with Aatrox, and there was a deep fear in her eyes.

The scene of the last time she was almost killed by Zuo Chi with a world rune still echoed in her mind, but soon, Zolani's expression became indifferent again.

Since she had chosen to fight Aatrox in this land cursed by the Void, it proved that she was sure of everything.

This time, whether it's Aatrox or his legion, whether it's Nasus or Zuochi, they'll all be reduced to puppets of her blood magic!

In order to be able to make the world free of wars, in order to achieve their own goals, sometimes, it seems necessary to make a deal with some taboo existence.

Aatrox and Zorani's eyes met, and the air between them seemed to stir up a burst of fire.

At one point, Aatrox shook his wings and headed straight for Zorranny again, as a low roar came out of his mouth.

"Kill!"

At the moment when Aatrox's words fell, Zuo Chi and a dozen Darkspawns behind him rushed forward at the same time.

Zorani also rushed towards Aatrox, followed by the corrupted Renekton and a dozen Baquet.

At this point, in this land where countless Ascenders have been fighting, the Second Darkspawn War has completely begun!

Once it was where they fended off foreign enemies, but now it's their own battlefield!
