The mirror hung high, and in the moonlit night, Nayafili and Aatrox looked at each other a hundred meters apart.

As if he had already anticipated Aatrox's taunt, although there were fluctuations in Nayafili's tone above, it was far less intense than Zuo Chi imagined:

"Aatrox, you are paranoid and you will only bring about your own destruction. I've found the true right path, and you should listen to me! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Nayafili's words, Aatrox's eyes flashed with a very obvious playfulness:

"The right path? Is it the same thing you used to talk about? ”

It's no wonder that Aatrox would say that, because back in the First Darkborn War, Nayafili was very different from the other Darkborns.

The other Darkspawns, those who still have some conscience, will want to end the Darkspawn War, the representative character: Tayanari, who was tricked by the Twilight Star Spirit Maisha into using Calikar to summon the Moonfire Falls and killed a dozen Darkspawns.

Those who have completely lost their conscience spend their days thinking about how to kill their rivals and then fight for their territory, represented by Aatrox and his Darkspawn legions.

Only Nayafili is different.

This powerful Darkspawn whose strength is almost on par with Aatrox and Sebotaru is not how to have fun or kill, but how to lead all the Darkborns to conquer the lands that the Shurima Empire has not conquered!

With this in mind, during the First Darkspawn War, Nayafili traveled among the forces for many years, trying to convince the Darkspawn to form an alliance with her and launch an attack on places like the Far North Tundra and the Newborn Lands.

As you can imagine, the Darkspawns fought all day long for territory, and no one would pay attention to Nayafili's arguments.

Aatrox didn't expect that thousands of years had passed, and Nayafili hadn't given up on the idea.

However, when Nayafili heard Aatrox's teasing, she shook her head and continued to speak in a hoarse voice:

"It used to be me who underestimated the greed of my compatriots, Aatrox. But now, I've got a whole new perspective. ”

Aatrox was still holding his hands to his chest, he seemed to be very disdainful of the fellow in front of him who had taken away a group of dogs, and the topic he had just discussed with Zuo Chi made him feel a little depressed, so he said directly:

"Nayafili, I don't want to talk to you too much, I'm not your kindred, these dogs behind you are."

This time, Nayafili's claws began to rub against the ground, and a low roar of anger came from his mouth.

Just like thousands of years ago, my own people are still so stubborn.

Perhaps, only a strong strength can make them understand her philosophy firsthand, and let them know that only she is right!

"Roar!"

Without any more stopping, Nayafili rushed towards Aatrox with a roar.

"Aatrox, after three thousand years, let me see your power!"

The circle of blades on the side of Nayaphili's skull pierced out, spreading outward, rubbing against each other and making a piercing sound of metallic clash.

Along with Nayafili's rush out, to everyone's surprise, all the desert hounds behind her actually rushed out together, and none of them were left behind.

The gaze of each desert hound was extremely clear, it was Aatrox on this side.

Seeing this scene, all the Darkborns behind Aatrox took a step forward and came to Aatrox's side, since Nayafili had helpers, they naturally couldn't watch their generals fight alone.

However, it was at this time that Aatrox stopped everyone.

"This is a fight between me and her!"

As the words fell, the demon's wings behind Aatrox shook violently, and he raised the giant sword in his hand and rushed straight ahead.

Behind him, facing the incomprehensible gazes of everyone, Zuo Chi said softly: "Actually, Nayafili is not the desert hound led by him, but this group of desert hounds. ”

"Boom!"

At the moment when Zuo Chi's words fell, a violent roar sounded in the ancient city.

Large swaths of dilapidated buildings were bulldozed, and Aatrox's greatsword collided with the sharp knife on the side of Nayafili's skull.

Looking at each other, Aatrox saw the glint in Naatrox's eyes, and then, before Aatrox could withdraw the giant sword in his hand, dozens of desert hounds with huge blades behind Naatrox had already arrived in front of Aatrox.

Aatrox jerked his arms out, and as he pushed Nayafili back, he swung his greatsword and a dense chain of vicious fire flew out of his hands and headed straight for the desert hounds.

However, in the face of Aatrox's attack, these desert hounds acted in perfect harmony, like a well-trained army, defending, assaulting, and detouring, and each attack was just right.

Dozens of desert hounds surrounded Aatrox, their formation as strong as iron buckets, and they also constantly attacked Aatrox in the center.

Although with Aatrox's strength, he would not be afraid of these inferior desert hounds, but after the number of them and the cooperation with each other, he was really a little overwhelmed.

Nayafili looked at Aatrox in the encirclement, and she roared:

"Aatrox, you see, once we cooperate with each other, my power will take a qualitative leap."

In the center of a pack of desert hounds, Aatrox frowned slightly, and he also noticed the trickiness of these desert hounds.

However, as the general of the Darkspawn Legion and the most powerful Darkborn, how could Aatrox give up so easily because of the group of desert hounds in front of him.

"Boom!"

At one point, the ground cracked beneath Aatrox's feet, and countless chains of vicious fire weaved into a large net towards the lowly desert hounds, and he rushed towards Nayafili once more.

"No matter how many ants there are, they can only be ants!"

Faced with the large area of the Vicious Fire Chain, this time many desert hounds could not dodge, and Aatrox once again came to Nayafili.

The greatsword clashed with the sharp knife dagger, and the remaining desert hounds came to Aatrox's side.

They were constantly trying to leave a scar on Aatrox with their head knives or their own blood, and Aatrox had to deal with the attacks of the desert hounds while facing Nayafili, a not weak opponent.

Gradually, wounds began to appear on Aatrox's body, and the glow of the golden pendant in Nayafili's left ear began to burn.

All the Desert Hounds came up behind Nayafili, and they all bent down to bare their teeth, blood lines stabbing out from front of them, locking onto Aatrox at the forefront.

Immediately afterward, all the desert hounds, led by Nayafili, rushed towards Aatrox.

In the face of this incomparably dense attack, Aatrox's expression was still indifferent, he stepped out, an incomparably rich blood erupted from his arms, and the giant sword in his hand swept, and at the same time, the muscles on his left arm instantly tensed, stabbing out.

In the next moment, a dense wail sounded, followed by the sound of sharp knives piercing flesh.

Silence returned to the ancient city, and in the moonlight, everyone saw the results of the battle.

Ahead, Aatrox's stabbed arm grabbed Nayafili's neck, its claws digging deep into her flesh, and the greatsword in his hand was aimed at her head.

But at the same time, the sharp knife on the side of Nayafili's head also pierced Aatrox's arm, and the desert hounds who were not swept away by the blade had already stabbed the sharp knives above their heads into Aatrox's body!

Aatrox was now stuck with a dozen sharp knives in his waist and abdomen, and dark red blood continued to gush out, forming a stream at his feet.

But. Perhaps this kind of injury would be fatal to others, but for Aatrox, who changed his body like changing clothes, it was just a fatal injury, and it didn't affect him at all.

Looking at Nayafili who was pinched in his hands, Aatrox said in a deep voice: "I saw Manayafili, in the face of absolute power, any of your theories can only be in vain. ”

was pinched in Aatrox's hand, looking at the blade of the Darkspawn Greatsword in front of him, Nayafili's tone was still stubborn:

"Aatrox, how does my strength compare to what it used to be?"

Aatrox sneered: "Some improvements, but still useless." ”

"Where do these boosts come from!" Nayafili continued to ask.

Aatrox paused slightly, then looked at the desert hounds beside him.

Seeing Aatrox's hesitation, Nayafili roared, "This is the power of unity, Aatrox.

If we swap our leaders for you and me, and these desert hounds for all our kindred, what will our strength be! ”

"There will be no place in this world where we cannot go, the whole world will be ours."

The more Nayafili spoke, the more excited he became: "After thousands of years of ups and downs, now, it's time to let the world pay off its debts together!" ”

"To tell you Aatrox, my body is not the desert hounds you have now, but this group of desert hounds! When my body was shattered, each of these desert hounds was taken by the fragments of my body. ”

"I'll admit that at first I almost broke down, after all, what a despicable group of bodies it was. But gradually, I've come to realize that group action doesn't seem to be a bad thing. As long as our compatriots can work together, our power will be greatly enhanced. ”

Aatrox let go of her grip on Naatrox, and Nayafili immediately stood still on the ground, but her eyes never took off Aatrox.

Aatrox withdrew the greatsword, "You want to work with me?" ”

Nayafili shook his head, "It's not just you, it's all our compatriots!" I've found Verus, and he agreed. ”

Nayafili knew that if she wanted to accomplish her goal, Aatrox would be a hurdle she would have to overcome on this path, because Aatrox was and still is, the most prestigious and powerful Darkseed, and he always had the most followers.

With his back to Zuochi and the members of the Darkspawn Legion, Aatrox looked at Nayafili with a bit of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

He said lightly: "Nayafili, if you could have come a day earlier, I might have nothing to do, and I might really be as you say." But now"

"What now?" Nayafili asked.

Aatrox suddenly grinned at Nayafili: "Now, not only will we not join you, but even you and Varus don't want to leave!" ”

Nayafili: "??? ”

——

Zuochi and the members of the Darkspawn Legion didn't know what Aatrox and Nayafili were talking about, but they only saw the two of them come together in front of everyone after a gesture.

Coming to everyone, Nayafili's gaze first swept over every Darkseed present, and finally stopped on Zuo Chi, and then she said in an inexplicable tone:

"It's strange that an Ascended One is mixed up with a group of Darkborns."

Zuo Chi wasn't annoyed, after all, he had heard this kind of thing too many times, he just shook his head at Nayafili and chuckled:

"After all, I've known the Darkspawn much longer than I've known the Ascendant."

The other Darkspawns still looked at Nayafili with vigilance in their eyes, and even though Nayafili lost to Aatrox, they all knew very well that just because their generals had won, it didn't mean they would win too!

During the First Darkspawn War, the entire Runeterras was in chaos, and the smoke and flames of war were endless, and everyone wanted to shrink into their own territory all day long.

But in this case, there is such a woman, who takes a group of her younger brothers all day long to find those powerful dark descendants, to tell them her vision and ideals, trying to make them stop fighting each other, but unite together to conquer the extreme northern tundra.

And she's been running around like this, and in the end nothing has happened, even longer than the Darkspawn who have been cowering on their territory all day.

Let's ask, if she doesn't have a strong strength for such a dark descendant, who will believe it!

The members of the Darkspawn Legion wondered why Aatrox had dragged this godly woman into their camp.

However, in the face of the puzzled gaze of the Darkspawn, Aatrox didn't say much, but walked to the previous sand table again, and continued to look at herself, Nayafili led her people to the other side, and did not cross paths with everyone again.

For Zuo Chi, this incident seemed to have become a small episode, and it did not affect him much.

Soon, the moon faded in the sky, and a fiery red sun rose on the desert horizon.

Zuo Chi knew it was time for him to leave.

He also needs to find Cassadine and take him back to the Shurima Imperial Capital as soon as possible.

Unable to get the help of Aatrox and his legions, Zuochi had to think of something else.

"Aatrox, big guy, goodbye!"

With a wave of his hand at the Darkborn, Zuo Chi turned into a streamer of light and rushed into the sky, rushing in the direction where Acacia was without any pause.

After waiting for most of the day at the place agreed with Cassadine, Zuo Chi finally waited for the familiar figure.

After briefly explaining his intention to Cassadine, Zuo Chi rushed to the sky with a little stunned, and went straight to the imperial capital of Shurima.

At this time, three days had passed since Zuo Chi left, and he couldn't judge Shurima's situation now, but he was sure that Zelas must have already started to act!

Following Zuo Chi's side, Cassadine looked at him, only to feel more satisfied the more he looked.

"Zuochi, Keisha her."

Zuo Chi smiled lightly at Cassadine beside him: "She is in the imperial capital of Shurima, there will be no danger, let's go back quickly, His Majesty the Tsar is still waiting." ”

Cassadine suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason, after all, this was the emperor who was going to meet the entire Shurima Emperor.

"Am I really qualified to be an Ascendant?"

Zuo Chi nodded affirmatively: "Definitely!" ”

In the time that followed, the two of them didn't say anything more, and rushed towards Emperor Shurima with full firepower.

A day later, the midday sun was blazing, and Zuochi and Cassadine finally returned to the imperial capital of Shurima.

At this time, Zuo Chi also sensed the murderous atmosphere around him, as well as the extremely terrifying coercion.

The gates of the imperial capital had been closed, the walls were filled with soldiers in armor and armed with swords, and the solar disc above the sky was spinning rapidly, and the majestic golden power of ascension was venting from the solar disc and rushing straight down.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi's eyes flashed with joy.

It seems that Nasus and Azir have found warriors who are qualified to participate in the Ascension Ceremony, so that the current crisis can be alleviated a bit.

Holding up Cassadine, whose attention was completely attracted by the solar disk, the two entered Shurima's imperial capital and flew straight in the direction of the Sun Order.

To be able to witness the birth of an ascended person is bound to be an exciting thing.

Soon, Zuochi and Cassadine arrived at the place where the Order of the Sun was located, and a large number of Shurima remnants had gathered in front of them, all of whom had set their sights on the Sun Altar to witness the birth of a new Ascendant.

Instead of rushing to find Azir, Zuochi and Cassadine stood on the periphery of the crowd and quietly watched the situation ahead.

The majestic power of ascension has completely submerged the figure on the altar of the sun, and it may not be long before there will be a powerful ascendant on the altar.

In this way, time passed little by little, and the power of ascension had begun to gradually subside, and everyone's hearts were raised.

Finally, the power of the ascension was completely dissipated, but the scene above the altar suffocated everyone's breath.

Because right there, at this time, there was an extremely twisted and hideous form, with almost no limbs, and the whole body was shrunk into a fleshy ball of terrifying figure.

At this time, his eyes were blood-red, and saliva was constantly flowing from his mouth.

"Die, you're all going to die!!"

Seeing this scene, there was a lot of commotion in the crowd of onlookers, and Zuo Chi and Cassadine's expressions were a little solemn.

Undoubtedly, the Ascension Ritual failed, and the warrior failed to receive the power of the Sun's Disk, resulting in him becoming an ugly, distorted Bhakai.

For a long time, neither Zuochi nor Cassadine spoke.

In the end, Zuo Chi looked at Cassadine beside him:

"Do you want to meet Your Majesty?"

Without hesitation, Cassadine nodded: "Hmm! ”
