The Glory of Noxus

In front of the heavy iron city gate.

Huo Jixing walked forward, his tense face relaxing.

"It's you, are you leaving?"

Seeing Huo Jixing coming from a distance, the Demacia Kingdom soldiers guarding the city gate asked.

There are few caravans coming and going in Fosbello Town, but mostly itinerant merchants.

Wanderers like Huo Jixing were even rarer, and he was somewhat impressed.

If it were normal times, he might investigate Huo Jixing, but now the town is too busy to take care of itself, and rumors of black magic are already spreading.

"Yes." Huo Jixing shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I really can't find anything to do here, so I'm going to try my luck in Mithril City."

"Are you going out so late?" The soldier from the Kingdom of Demacia looked at the sky. The sun was about to set, and the dark night loomed in the distant sky.

"There is no other way. We don't have much money. If we go earlier, we can find some work as soon as possible." Huo Jixing held on to the hanging long knife and said that he could walk at night.

"Ha ha!"

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia laughed when they heard this, knowing that their own family knew their own affairs.

The town of Forsbarrow is just a small town in the north of the Kingdom of Demacia. The townspeople adhere to the principles of hard work, self-discipline and diligence, and can survive by being self-sufficient.

In this way, many people still live in slum areas and struggle to survive.

"have a safe trip."

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia looked at the long knife hanging on Huo Jixing's waist and moved out of the way.

Huo Jixing waved his thanks, then walked onto the business road and disappeared into the sky.

Dusk is about to set, and the clouds in the sky are dyed crimson, as if the sky is bleeding.

Huo Jixing looked up at the changes in the sky, and his heart sank.

In the dark forest on both sides of the business road, a silence like oppressive panic gradually filled the air.

There was no sound in my ears, only the cold wind howling, bringing uneasiness and chaos in the distance.

Huo Jixing's nerves were tense as he looked back at the town of Forsbarrow in the dusk.

Within the field of vision, the outline of this northern town became faintly hazy.

The majestic and towering city walls, the Temple of the Lightbringer with burning flames on the top, familiar and unfamiliar scenes are plunged into a terrifying environment.

The originally quiet river also glowed with a crimson glow under the dusk, as if it was proof of the existence of some kind of terror.

Suddenly.

Wow! Wow!

Waves of small sounds broke the silent atmosphere.

In the dark forest, something seemed to be moving, and a chill of fear came, bringing unspeakable horror.

Huo Jixing turned around immediately.

Red-gold flames cover the surface of the body, like a torch, driving away the approaching darkness.

"Huh? Is it a leaf?"

Huo Jixing saw the leaves in the forest fluttering gently in the wind, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

He continued to walk along the commercial road, the afterglow of dusk falling on the road.

As time goes by, such beautiful and peaceful scenery is only temporary.

Darkness falls on the earth.

Huo Jixing saw layers of hazy black fog rising quietly in his field of vision, rolling and surging, as if alive, gradually covering the mountains, forests and business roads.

For no reason, he felt fear spreading inside him.

"No, something's wrong."

Huo Jixing seemed to realize something. Why was he so scared?

It seemed that after hearing the rumors of black magic, his mentality changed slightly, and he was very afraid of the terrifying existence in the dark.

Buzz!Buzz!

The red-gold Nanli Fire ignited, and the scorching high temperature distorted the air.

Huo Jixing allowed Nanli's fire to burn violently in his body.

After a while, he saw a dim black mist appear on the surface of his body, and then evaporated under the fireworks.

"When will you enter my body?"

Huo Jixing suppressed the horror in his heart and continued to draw Nanli's fire, burning it from the inside out.

At the same time, it is like a substantial spiritual extension, always paying attention to the changes around you.

In the wild mountains and forests, the hazy black mist seemed to spread like a tide, the dim moonlight disappeared, and the earth fell into darkness.

Buzz!

【Suzaku·Dancing Wings】

The red-gold flames extended back along the shoulders, quickly weaving into a pair of flame wings.

Huo Jixing looked determined and soared into the sky, intending to break free from the prison of black mist.

From a distance, he looked like a meteor streaking through the sky. As the wings behind his back flapped, flames surged, burning the fog of the night.

However, it is only a thousand meters forward.

Huo Jixing's eyelids began to fight, and inexplicable sleepiness crept into his heart, and the wings on his back were slowly decomposing.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly fell from the sky, and the boiling Nanli fire dimmed instantly.

Sonorous!

Just when Huo Jixing was about to fall to the ground.

Deep in the soul, there was the cry of the Suzaku, and its blazing wings were like the sky overturning.

In an instant!

Scorching flames surged up from the surrounding ground, like a sea of ​​fire pouring in, dyeing the soul space a fiery red color.

At the same time, Suzaku's golden eyes turned cold.

It stared at the black mist covering its soul and immediately waved its claws.

The brilliant golden light is like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, making it impossible to look directly at it.

Wow!

The black mist retreated, and then slowly melted like water vapor under the blazing high temperature.

The sleepy Huo Jixing immediately opened his tired eyes.

Seeing that he was falling from a high altitude, his expression changed with shock, and he quickly summoned his flaming wings.

Kankan stopped his falling before landing.

"Nightmare?"

Huo Jixing stepped onto the ground and looked horrified when he thought about how he suddenly fell into sleep just now.

If [Star Spirit·Suzaku Stance] hadn't automatically turned on, he might have fallen into a meat pie from a high altitude.

"It can't be that guy, right?"

Huo Jixing looked at the black fog that was getting thicker and thicker, feeling a little depressed inside.

Do you want to move on now? He questioned himself internally.

Looking back at the completely invisible town of Forsbarrow, he chose to move on.

However, Huo Jixing was extremely careful this time. The fire of Nanli was burning all the time, and the [Star Spirit Suzaku Stance] was in the semi-activated stage.

As long as there is an abnormality, he will immediately enter [Star Spirit Suzaku Stance].

The subsequent journey went smoothly without incident, until he saw a body lying on the roadside.

"Devil-stained one!"

Huo Jixing's pupils tightened as he looked at the familiarly dressed corpse and recognized the other person's identity.

It was the demon-possessed person he had seen in the town of Forsbarrow.

Huo Jixing looked around, hesitated for a while, squatted down, and reached out to search the body, hoping to find something useful.

A letter, a ring of runic items.

This is all the demon-stained person carries.

Huo Jixing fiddled with the ring in his hand. The rune properties were not very good, so he directly chose to decompose it.

Then he picked up the letter and opened it to read.

"Are they crazy?"

Huo Jixing looked extremely gloomy after reading all the information.

It is said to be a letterhead, but it looks more like the diary of the demon-stained person.

The information recorded in the log is relatively small due to the low status of the demon-stained person, including information about seeing himself.

However, Huo Jixing still guessed something from the recorded information.

The rumors of black magic in the town of Forsbarrow seem to be man-made.

Huo Jixing thought of the rumor mentioned by the Demon-Tenderer, that Fosian Crownguard once pierced the demon's black heart with a Demacian steel sword.

Although the demon dies, a residual power remains.

Silas didn't know where he got the news, and arranged for the demon-stained person to come here and use special means to awaken the remaining demonic power.

The demon-stained person deceived Huo Jixing with his earlier remarks.

"Can't get out?"

Huo Jixing suppressed his inner anger, licked his lips, and looked at the last sentence in the diary——

[I can’t get out! The devil’s power has begun to revive, and everyone can’t get out! ]

call!call!

Huo Jixing gasped a few times and put away the letter.

Silas and the others underestimated the remaining power of the demon. Now the events are starting to get out of control, and the only demon-stained person who has any understanding has died.

The town of Fosbello was completely turned into a prison, imprisoning everyone.

Huo Jixing stood up, looked at the black fog that completely covered the mountain forest, his eyes flashed with red-gold light, and continued to move forward.

After a cup of tea.

He saw the corpse of the demon-stained person lying on the roadside again, and his heart sank to the bottom.
