Chapter 897 Void Burrowing Beast
Kassa used to be just an ordinary little girl in a village in southern Shurima.
She had no special background and had not been trained as a warrior. Her fate was completely changed when she was ten years old.
The nearby void was awakened, and a deep valley cracked in the bedrock of the earth, swallowing up Kassa and everyone in the village.
Everyone else died, only Kassa bravely picked up a dagger and pierced the heart of a void spirit. The shell of the void spirit accidentally fell on her and became her weapon.
She did not become a member of the void monster, but gained the power of the void. She grew from a frightened little girl to a brave warrior, fighting with the void spirits in the gap between the two worlds, preventing the void from further devouring the world.
More than ten years have passed in a flash.
No one knows the void better than her, whether it is the habits of the void or the horror of the monsters.
The reason why she is in this temporary tribe is that she was noticed by Taliyah when she was fighting underground before, and was saved by Taliyah, and was "requested" to recuperate here.
This half-human, half-monster body is always feared and rejected. Kai'Sa has long been accustomed to it, but Taliyah has never shown a trace of disgust from beginning to end, which touched her a little.
Therefore, even if these people rejected her advice without knowing the good or bad, she still wanted to do her last bit to persuade them.
But Taliyah shook her head and said: "If you want to find a place for these people to live, Zoran is the most likely. Their homes have been destroyed, and they need to see hope."
Kai'Sa didn't understand: "False hope can't save lives, Axe will kill everyone!"
Taliyah has heard of the legend of Axe. It is said that it is a small monster born by a terrible void monster Rek'Sai. Each of them has the ability to escape in the desert. Even a famous warrior can hardly beat one in a one-on-one.
She bit her lip and said firmly: "If Zoran is everyone's only hope, then I will at least lead everyone there!"
"...You will kill everyone."
"Then come with us, you can help protect everyone." Taliyah's eyes glowed with gold: "I have also fought against void monsters, I am a powerful mage!"
She took Kassa's arm: "Okay, sit down. This world will always belong to us humans, not to void monsters.
Do you know how powerful a truly powerful mage is? Four months ago..."
She began to tell the story of the battle she had "experienced". Kassa listened silently for a while, and sighed helplessly in her heart... Your story sounds even more outrageous than Zoran being a paradise on earth.
...
A few days later.
"I know Zoran because a special Ascendant once came out of Zoran, or Zoran got his name because of her."
Flying low in the desert, Qiyana explained to Ji Xing: "'Sky Maiden' Zorani, she is one of the few Shuriman Ascendants who did not fall into the Darkin and participate in the Darkin War, besides Grand Maester Nasus and General Renekton.
She was active during the war between Shurima and the Void. She is the daughter of a healer. With her excellent medical skills, she saved thousands of Shuriman warriors and was recognized by the Sun Disc. Queen Setaka personally presided over the Ascension ceremony.
But in the later period... it is said that he was ambushed by a void monster and disappeared for hundreds of years. Maybe he died a long time ago? "
"I heard that there are many stonemasons gathered there, carving a huge stone statue for Zolani. They believe that as long as the carving is successful, they can regain Zolani's protection. "Sivir spread his hands next to him and said, "But it is estimated that the end will not be good now. Instead of believing in those things, it is better to believe in the blade in your hand."
"Hmph——"
A cold snort suddenly echoed, not belonging to Ji Xing, but also not belonging to the two girls.
Ji Xing tilted his head slightly to look at the Darkin Demon Sword on his back. Because it has life, it cannot be stored in the universal capsule and can only be carried with him.
It was shallowly sealed by Ji Xing and could not actively sense things in the outside world, but Aatrox could still hear and speak.
"Why, you know her?"
Ji Xing teased, "One is a medical goddess, and the other is an ascended general who leads the troops... She hasn't treated your injuries before, has she?"
"Ah, she has." Aatrox said coldly, "We are old acquaintances. But the rumors from the outside world are indeed untrue. She did not turn into a darkin, but the change was later. She has not been attacked by the void. It was me who almost killed her in Zoran."
"The goddess Zolani also became a darkin?" Qiyana and Sivir were surprised.
They didn't know what agreement Ji Xing had reached with the legendary darkin sword demon. In short, they often heard some rarely known history from Aatrox in the past few months.
Because they were about to arrive in Zoran, they were very interested in Zolani's story.
"She is indeed still alive." Aatrox set the tone first: "But the last time we met was more than three hundred years ago.
That was our first reunion after we escaped from the weapons that trapped us. In order to avenge the Twilight Protoss Maisha who plotted against us, we put aside our past grudges and attacked Mount Targon together.
In that battle, she used blood sorcery to devour the Darkin Anaca and part of the power of the Justice Protoss Mysila, and was called the 'Bane of the Protoss' by those Protoss."
"The former medical goddess degenerated into the 'scroll of the stars' who attacked the star spirits of Mount Targon. The power of the void is really terrifying." Qiyana murmured, that was something that the Queen of Elements needed to fight against.
Aatrox snorted again: "Fallen? The world always thinks that the star spirits who sit on the top of Titan Peak are the guardians of the world, but they never understand the true face of those guys!
Those star spirits and humans who live in the heaven are two different kinds of creatures. They are cold and harsh. Even if they come as human beings as carriers, they will gradually make the people they are attached to lose their original emotions.
The Twilight Protoss is one of the representatives. Whether it is Maisha who was killed by our revenge in that war, or Zoe now, the most vicious heart is hidden under the innocent face! "
When it comes to protoss, Aatrox can't hide his disgust, or rather he doesn't want to hide it. This is not just because of the tragedy of the inhabited magic sword.
"The Justice Star Spirit is one of the strongest Star Spirits." After a pause, Aatrox continued: "At least at that time, we should not be able to defeat her, even in her human incarnation.
But because Myscilla realized that she had gradually lost human emotions after becoming the incarnation of the righteous star spirit, she divided part of her power among her two daughters in advance, and eventually Zolani absorbed part of her power.
In that battle, if one of her daughters Kyle and a human mage named Ryze hadn't intervened, we would have achieved greater results and killed a few more protoss. "
Ryze also joined in the fun?
Ji Xing is a little surprised. Isn't he only interested in world runes? Or was there a reason why he had to intervene in that battle?
Qiyana said: "So the goddess of heaven... no, Zolani, the scourge of the stars, is still alive?"
"Perhaps he is hiding in a corner, trying to digest the power of the righteous star spirit." Aatrox snorted: "Or... he died."
It's the same as not saying anything.
Sivir shook her head silently. The distant town of Zolan came into view, and the first thing she saw was the huge statue on the rock wall.
It is hundreds of meters high and beautifully carved. The temperament and figure of the goddess are perfectly reproduced. The only thing missing is the face.
It was a faceless statue, maybe because it was not completed, or maybe... the stonemasons didn't know Zolani's appearance, so they didn't dare to mess around with it, and when they wanted to carve it, they didn't have the chance.
"The faceless god." Ji Xing noticed it earlier and murmured in his heart: "This shape has a completely ominous meaning wherever it appears."
Even Ji Xing felt a slight chill down his spine at a glance. This was a very strange thing for him who had become stronger and started to condense the third rune, the Resolute Rune.
"Is it empty?"
He cast his gaze downwards and said: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Control yourselves, I'm going to speed up."
…
at the same time.
Taliyah and Kai'Sa, who walked into Zoran side by side, did not notice the three people in the sky in the distance.
They experienced many dangers during the past few days and encountered many attacks from void monsters. In the end, they had to let the ordinary people stay in a relatively safe place while they waited for the two of them to visit Zolan first.
When she first entered Zoran, Taliyah was deeply delighted by the green mountains, green waters and quasi-looking houses. However, as she walked through the streets, her heart gradually sank. It seemed like... there was no one here?
There is no trace of human life!
The face of the faceless god is not even finished... Where have all the people gone?
Kaisha had already been in a fighting position, guarding every blind spot in the surrounding area until the two of them walked to an open area and saw some traces of dilapidation after the disaster.
Judging from the soil, there should have been a lake ahead, but it has dried up long ago, leaving many cracks on the ground that are not caused by drought.
More like...
Kasha's expression suddenly changed while she was analyzing, and she pushed Taliya away fiercely.
Boom!
The next moment, the ground behind the two people suddenly cracked open, and a giant void beast emerged from the soil and pushed towards them fiercely!
Taliyah exclaimed as she was hit far away and suffered no damage, but Kai'Sa vomited blood and flew away.
Fortunately, the armor from the void protected her body, preventing her from being torn apart by the mountainous impact. In mid-air, her face was covered by a void mask, and she entered a fighting state!
The pods that resembled wings behind her vibrated, and Kaisha twisted her body to face the void monster that continued to charge towards her after failing to hit her.
It is huge in size, with just the length of its upper body exceeding 10 meters when it breaks out of the ground. It looks like a reptile that is a fusion of insects and beasts.
Its body is covered with a hard carapace, and its color is a deep purple that fits the void. Its powerful limbs have huge claws that can tear all prey into pieces. Its head is obviously unusually large, covered with hard horns and inverted bones. prick.
Compared with the void monsters Kai'Sa has dealt with before, it is like the ancestor of the monsters, containing an oppressive power that Kai'Sa has never experienced before!
"Is it Rek'Sai, the void escaping beast?!"
Kai'Sa gritted her teeth, the void crystal embedded in the pod heated up extremely, and plasma missiles were launched one after another with her hands.
But the missile that could shatter rocks and kill ordinary void monsters hit Rek'Sai, but it only caused a slight dent in the carapace, and it was restored to its original shape in a second by the power of the void!
The pain angered the monster, and it howled in terror, getting closer and closer to Kaisha.
At the critical moment, a sharp stone spike rose from the ground and exploded when it pierced Rek'Sai's 'belly', finally stopping it.
Kassa took the opportunity to twist her body and flew to Taliyah. Looking at the monster that was unharmed and looked at her fiercely with purple eyes, Kassa said coldly: "Listen, Taliyah!
We even had difficulty dealing with her child Axe, and we are definitely not the opponent of this guy! I will find a way to lure her away later, you seize the opportunity to escape! Without you dragging me down, I can do it myself, just like I have done in these years!"
Taliyah bit her lower lip hard.
Rek'Sai came with a bang, and the two girls jumped away in both directions. Kassa launched a crazy attack on Rek'Sai, but Taliyah did not obey and quickly mobilized the earth spear and earth spikes.
She would not believe it. If Kassa could escape from this thing, she would not have been saved by herself on the night they first met!
"Taliyah!" Kassa was anxious.
At the same time, she suddenly felt the air getting hot, as if it was raining fire from the sky, and the temperature suddenly rose by more than ten degrees!
She looked up in surprise, her eyes wide open.
A huge fireball with a diameter of more than five meters fell from the sky and hit Rek'Sai's back!
"Roar~!" With a shrill scream, Rek'Sai was knocked back and slid out, his shell melted and damaged a little, and another cross blade flew over, taking the opportunity to cut into Rek'Sai's flesh and blood, causing severe damage to it, and then flew back in a circle!
Two women with typical Shurima features fell from the sky and landed next to Taliyah, which surprised Taliyah.
"Qiana! Sivir! How come you are here?" She said happily: "Wait, you are here, is Mr. Sevir also..."
Know them? I seem to have heard these two names from Taliyah? Is it that story? They are very powerful. If we join forces, maybe...
Kassa had just thought of this when she noticed the ground shaking slightly. With a cracking sound, one cave after another opened up!
"Not good!"
Hundreds of little Reksai, or Axe, emerged from the ground and surrounded the four people! Kaisa immediately gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to kill Reksai and said quickly, "Run!"
Taliyah and the other two were unusually calm. Qiyana looked up and said, "Okay, they are all lured out!"
Kassa was startled and raised her head.
A man with a petrified giant sword on his back was suspended in the air and raised his arms.
A breeze blew by, and hundreds of Axe, even the huge Reksai, flew up. The originally hideous and terrifying void monsters were restrained by invisible forces, like pitiful crying babies!
Kassa heard pleading and fear from Reksai's howling. When they rose to the point where even Reksai became a small black dot in sight, the man flying in the air folded his arms towards the center.
Buzz——
The diamond-shaped explosion flashed and disappeared.
Amid the whistling wind, a huge claw quickly enlarged in Kaisa's sight, until it pierced through the earth with a bang!
Kaisa knew that it was Rek'Sai's claw, and it was probably the last trace of the Void Burrower Rek'Sai left in this world.
"That's not a story." She murmured: "A mage who is more powerful than the Ascended?"
