Chapter 890 Fierce Battle
The energy shield formed by the hurricane shattered, and a wave of dark energy enveloped the sky above Wekaula.
The Vicora people, who were grateful to 'Azir' to save them, looked at the dark energy life flying high in the sky in horror. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to them for the time being and did not target them.
"He's here." In a deep voice filled with anger, Nasus took off the pendant around his neck and handed it to Sivir: "Put it on and run away immediately. We blocked Xerath. I’ll find you again later.”
"Sure enough, you are here for me too. I have heard your story. Rumor has it that you and your brother are heroes and have been fighting for Shurima." Sivir frowned and said, "My blood is really flowing now. Charming aroma, isn’t that guy who attacked the city also coming for me?”
Nasus nodded in response and said to Taliyah, "Little girl, I want to trouble you."
"Oh...ah!" Taliyah said: "I swore to Mother Weaver that I would protect her!" Although Taliyah's mind was still a little confused, and she was overwhelmed by the appearance of each character, she was still obedient. The ground helped Sivir escape.
Qiyana was both excited and nervous. The dark magic rolling in the sky simply exceeded the limit of her imagination, but she could see that Ji Xing's expression was always calm and asked: "Sevier, are you sure you can kill that darkness?" A mage?"
"Xerath is a wizard from ancient times. Before he stole Azir's ascension energy, he was already the strongest wizard in the Shurima Empire. Perhaps as a wizard at that time, he was not as good as the wind mage of this era, but After the transformation of ascending energy, it has accumulated power for thousands of years..."
Nasus answered for Ji Xing and introduced the enemy's situation: "You should leave first, the little girl from Isuoken."
"You can leave if you want, and you can stay if you want to stay." Ji Xing said, "You decide for yourself."
A gleam of light flashed in Qiyana's eyes as she raised her face. Of course she wanted to stay. She was not afraid of danger, because she heard that this would be a rare battle in her life, and it was likely to be a showdown between the strongest mages from ancient times and modern times!
So she just took a few steps back with a solemn expression. Nasus couldn't help but look at her and took off the ax from behind without saying a word.
Mortals are always good at forgetting.
In this era where even the Darkin War is long gone, people have long forgotten the power of the Ascended, let alone the terror of Xerath. It was an ancient witch spirit that both he and his brother could not defeat together, a catastrophic creature!
If it were him, he didn't even know if he would have the courage to fight Xerath, and what he had to do now was to let the mage next to him who was about to fight alongside him know that what they were about to face was not a battle. Playful.
Boom!
He slammed the ax handle into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and sand. The round dust turned into a hurricane, rolling and condensing, as if a majestic anger filled Nasus' body!
His figure grew bigger and bigger, towering horribly, turning into a giant of four to five meters, just like something that has been passed down in Shurima for thousands of years!
He showed his ‘original form’.
"Animals of flesh and blood mutate, but there is no reproductive isolation." Ji Xing glanced at this unscientific change and then looked up at the sky.
"Xerath!" Nasus yelled.
Xerath arrived, dragging the chains.
Dark energy surged, filled with the purest malice, overlooking the ground.
"It turns out it's you, the coward who locked me underground for a thousand years." Unexpectedly, his voice was full of magnetic gentleness.
"I'll put you back underground again."
"Really? Thousands of years ago, you had your good brother Renekton to help you, but have you heard this name recently?" Xerath said with a sinister smile.
"Don't mention that name!" Nasus became even more angry. Of course he had heard rumors in the desert that the liberated Renekton had fallen into madness and was killing people indiscriminately.
It was his sin, his shadow.
Xerath's eyes turned to Ji Xing again: "An ordinary human mage? Not even an ascended person. Where did you find such a scapegoat? Nasus, this time I hope to lock him up with me." Underground?"
Nasus stopped answering. Knowing that Xerath was wavering in his fighting spirit, he took action!
In just one second, his figure changed from motionless to an unclear afterimage.
He bent his legs and jumped into the air, appearing in front of Xerath in an instant, his ax drawing an arc in the sun! The sharp blade hit him in the chest, and the iron ring of the chain exploded under the violent impact!
Xerath flew out with a roar and crashed directly through an abandoned house in the distance. The ridge of the roof was crushed down, and a huge deep trench opened in the ground!
The next moment, Xerath rushed out of the ruins, his crackling limbs emitting blazing light, melting the stone bricks and tiles, burning Nasus, and making him roar, but still with a He slashed at Xerath with anger.
The energy that destroyed the world burst out, and the magic shock wave flattened the earth thousands of meters in radius! All the buildings were knocked down by this impact, and were even flattened into powder. Comet-like energy bombs fell into the sky!
Only at this moment did Qiyana realize how futile her steps back were. She had never thought about human beings... no, not human beings. She had never thought that the warriors of the gods would really be like gods.
If it weren't for the magic shield protecting her, her wind and earth walls would probably be defeated in an instant, or even take away her life.
She opened her eyes wide and watched Ji Xing waving his staff. In the distance, desperate Vikora people were flying away from the source of the disaster like raindrops.
Flying magic? What about the two of us?
"Can you really do it? Sewell!" She shouted, "They are not human anymore. Can you really participate in this battle?!"
Ji Xing felt the turmoil of the battle.
Of course, he still remembered that he had divined for this trip once when he was in Ixoken, and the result was "great misfortune". So since he encountered Xerath, Ji Xing analyzed in his mind, would it be Xerath that put my life in danger?
Ji Xing's staff fell heavily.
In the distance, Nasus and Xerath were still fighting, and Nasus moved sideways to avoid the comet bombs fired by Xerath.
The comet bomb with cold flames fell to the ground and burned fiercely, constantly reducing Nasus's standing space, helping Xerath's lightning to hit Nasus, but in the next moment, it was frozen by the sudden spread of solid ice!
Hmm? Xerath was stunned.
Ice? Nasus was also a little surprised, but he did not stop. The axe stabbed at Xerath, releasing withering energy!
Xerath was in pain and anger, and the fire in his heart jumped and became vigorous.
"A mere human mage, dare to participate in our battle?!"
Boom--
Then he flew higher.
A wall of fire suddenly gushed out from the ditch caused by the collision between the two, rushing straight to the withered Xerath. The chains on his body were shot in all directions, and the face condensed with energy became distorted and let out a painful roar.
Something is wrong, the power of magic is wrong!
The one who knows the top human mage best must be another top mage. Before stealing the ascension energy, Xerath belonged to Leblanc of Shurima. Magic shouldn't hurt me so much!
The dark arcane energy exploded, the wall of fire was torn apart by him, and the whole city began to burn.
Xerath, suspended in the air, opened his arms and locked onto Ji Xing.
At the same time, Nasus, who was surprised, did not miss this opportunity. He once again leaped high behind Xerath and chopped him on the head with his axe.
But Xerath had already taken precautions. One after another, dazzling energy bombs bombarded Nasus, who was in the sky. When Nasus cut Xerath off, he was also blasted with blood, and turned into a residual image and penetrated into the temple in the distance!
The temple collapsed with a rumble, and the fake sun disk on the roof rolled down, breaking into fragments and shooting in all directions. One of the fragments pierced the thigh of Nasus, who was lying on the ground.
He pulled out the iron sheet with force and climbed to his feet. He did not dare to delay for a moment. Even though his momentum had been slightly weakened at this moment and he had many more wounds on his body, he could not wait for healing.
He knew that the person fighting alongside him this time was not Renekton, but a human mage.
Even though his spell strength exceeded expectations, his body was still fragile. Any spell from Xerath could take his life!
He ran back to the battlefield in the flames, but what caught his eyes was a scene that shocked him.
Thunder, earth spikes, wind walls, and fire pillars, the staff in Ji Xing's hand was like a baton, and Xerath was the "toy" being directed.
The ancient witch spirit was known for its spellcasting speed, but at this moment it was severely suppressed! No matter what kind of magic he released or how many comet bombs he fired in one second, he would be swallowed by more magic, and Ji Xing, who turned into a spell machine gun, still had the strength to hit him and make him fly in the sky!
Is this a human mage?
In a pure spell contest, one of the best wizards in ancient Shurima was crushed in all directions. If it weren't for the blessing of the ascended body, Xerath might not last more than three minutes!
The Grand Scholar and the wisest man of ancient Shurima knew that his knowledge might still be shallow, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.
"The heavens will destroy you, Xerath."
Nasus roared in a low voice: "The sinner who destroyed the Shurima Dynasty, it seems that today... you will at least go back to the underground!"
Boom--
A blue flame column rose up and engulfed Xerath, who could not escape the magic range of Jixing!
This flame was stronger than the fire elemental magic released by Jixing, and it was like a condensation of tens of millions of suns. Xerath screamed in pain.
"Ah--"
"You angered me!!"
Dark energy gathered in the sky, and Xerath, who was inferior in skills and speed, had to counter with quantity!
A comet rain of fire appeared out of thin air, completely covering the entire ruins of Vikora, and a scene like the end of the world fell out of thin air.
The power has grown to this extent? !
On the contrary, I have fallen too much. Nasus' heart sank again. He kept swinging his axe, slashing through comets, but he couldn't defend himself completely and was constantly hit.
The earth shattered and sank with a rumbling sound.
He had no time to care about Ji Xing, who flashed in the rain of comet fire and came to Qiyana, who was protected by the wind. He put away his staff and held up a magic light curtain with both hands.
Sivir and Taliyah, who had fled far away, couldn't help but look back. In the impact of the yellow sand, they vaguely saw a sun rising from Vikora, shouting something, and being buried by the wind and sand!
When the impact of this disaster disappeared, Vikora had turned into an abyss. Nasus, who was covered in wounds, supported his axe to pull out his legs that were half buried in the soil and stared into the distance.
He was relieved to find that the magic shield held by Ji Xing had just broken at this time, without any damage. He also felt that it was the biggest mistake not to ask the girl from Xuoken to leave.
Already facing a strong enemy, he had to distract himself to protect the weak. Such scenes should be repeated again and again until the balance of victory and defeat was overturned. After all, Zerath was a despicable and vicious guy!
Wait?
Thinking of this, Nasus suddenly opened his eyes in horror. His figure once again turned into a shadow and rushed towards Ji Xing at a speed faster than sound, but he could only watch Zerath suddenly appear behind Ji Xing, and a glowing arm reached out to Ji Xing's back!
Buzz——
The terrifying heat melted out, and the human flesh and blood burned instantly.
A pit almost the size of a human head appeared on Ji Xing's chest with Zerath's magic!
"Xerath!!" Nasus, who could only watch this scene, roared in rage. His heart, which had been sinking for thousands of years, seemed to have rekindled its flames, and his size and speed increased again!
The only response he got was Xerath's no longer restrained rampant and evil laugh: "Hahaha, Nasus! Who can you protect? Renekton? Azir? Azir's bloodline? Or this human girl?! You protect everyone..."
The wind and sand blew, and Ji Xing in front of Xerath suddenly drifted away like sand, causing Xerath's laughter to stagnate in the sand.
What happened?
He felt indescribable pain.
The core of his energy heart seemed to be burned by a raging fire, and the piercing feeling was like when he thought Azir had betrayed him. He should no longer have the pain and emotions of flesh and blood as a witch spirit, but at this moment he lowered his head.
His energy chest was melted through.
Just like what he did to Ji Xing just now, a high-temperature magic directly burned through his ascended body from behind!
He turned back with difficulty, and Nasus, who was running wildly, also stopped in astonishment.
I saw Qiyana standing behind Xerath with a calm expression, holding Ji Xing's exquisite and even perfect silver-white staff in her hand.
The staff pointed at Xerath.
Then the girl's body grew, and quickly twisted back to Ji Xing's appearance.
"Illusion, illusion? Transfiguration?" The ancient wizard recognized the origin of the magic at a glance, "When..."
Sure enough, it's not him, Ji Xing thought.
Weak is not weak, even very strong, magic power is even stronger than Ryze, but this combat experience is really indescribable, a scholar-type strongman?
The one who brings me a fatal threat will not be such a serious one.
Buzz——
In the next scene, the staff spewed flames, completely engulfing the energy remains of Xerath!
