The Glory of Noxus.

"Hmm? Magical energy fluctuations?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows, and his leisurely steps suddenly stopped, his eyes fell into the depths of the passage.

In his spiritual perception, an extremely strong fluctuation of magical energy suddenly appeared in the depths of the passage, almost reaching the peak of a hero.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, and blown by the wind.

Huo Jixing tapped the ground lightly, and the passages on both sides disappeared from his sight like a passing show.

After a while.

Huo Jixing went straight to the source of the magical energy fluctuations, and what came into his sight was a battle between dragons and tigers.

The iron girl, Riel, was holding a blunt-tipped spear and charging like a knight, pressing towards a white-haired girl in shackles.

Although the white-haired girl was restricted by the shackles, she was agile and dodged back and forth like a cheetah, calmly avoiding the fierce attacks.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing looked at the white-haired girl, noticed the bloodstone on the shackles, and the slightly familiar traces of blood witchcraft transformation.

Black Rose Experimental Base, Bloodstone Shackles. White-haired girl?

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he connected them together, vaguely understanding the specific identity of the white-haired girl.

Crazy Rose Berea!

"interesting!"

Huo Jixing hid in the shadows, carefully observing the extremely fierce battle in the field.

Whether it is the Iron Girl Riel or the Mad Rose Berea.

They are all products of Black Rose's magical experiments, and can also be called living weapons.

boom!

Riel was wearing steel armor, and the blunt-tipped spear in his hand glowed with golden light.

Every swing is accompanied by powerful magical energy. The sharp tip of the gun pierces the air directly, setting off a steel storm.

However, facing the steel storm that tore through the wall, Berea seemed to be under no pressure at all and appeared extremely calm. She turned into black lightning and shuttled freely in the storm.

Every time the blunt-tipped spear fell, she was able to perfectly dodge it with amazing speed and reaction, as if those fierce attacks were just child's play for her.

The facts are not far from the truth.

During the process of Berea's creation, Black Rose sent many instructors with extraordinary skills to train her in killing techniques.

"Haha, I want to see you go crazy."

In the steel storm, Berea noticed the blonde girl's increasingly rapid attack, and a smile appeared on her face.

The battle made her cold body feel a little hot.

She pushed the ground with both her feet, crushing the ground in an instant and nimbly avoiding the blunt-pointed spear.

When the spear changed from stabbing to sweeping, Berea kept smiling, lightly tapped the spear with her toes, and her body flew into the air like a light feather and landed not far away.

Riel's expression darkened as he realized that this suddenly appearing living weapon was somewhat difficult to deal with.

Her speed and reaction were too fast, and his attacks couldn't hit her at all.

"There is no time to delay."

As a former experimental subject, Riel understood the terrifying power of the Black Rose. She had to fight quickly or she would be in danger.

【Iron Taming Technique: Blast Down】!

The iron armor on Riel's body glowed with rune light, turning ordinary armor into heavy armor, and the blunt-tipped spear in his hand also emitted brilliant rune light.

After a short period of charging.

Riel jumped into the air, wearing heavy armor, and smashed down the living weapon that had just landed like a mountain.

Not far away, Berea looked at the golden-haired girl flashing with steel-like light in the air, frowned slightly, and chose to step back, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

But Riel's falling speed was beyond her imagination.

Even though Berea had predicted it in advance, she still couldn't avoid the range of the falling steel.

boom!

The steel storm that Riel transformed into swirled and twisted in the air like a razor-like tornado.

In an instant, the metal passage and the ground shattered into pieces, and countless metal fragments scattered to the ground.

Berea was caught off guard and affected by the momentum of falling, her steps paused, revealing a flaw.

[Break the formation]!

Riel's eyes lit up, and he immediately mobilized all his strength, roared, and thrust his blunt-tipped spear forward.

In an instant!

The sharp tip of the gun emitted a brilliant golden glow, like a falling star, and with terrifying force, it pierced the head of the living weapon that was restrained by the shackles.

Berea quickly raised her head and looked at the blunt-tipped spear that was so close to her, her white eyes full of bloodshot.

She did not retreat, but began to gather strength on the spot. Under her gray skin, the surging blood gathered like a dragon.

【Screaming】!

When the sharp tip of the spear approached her, Berea opened her mouth and let out a deafening roar.

As the roar sounded, the steel storm suddenly stopped.

The blood-red ripples were like an endless wave, rushing towards the oncoming sharp gun tip and the approaching blonde girl.

The surrounding airflow was also thrown into chaos by the roar, and sand, dust and gravel were blown up.

Riel's ears were ringing, and he could vaguely feel liquid flowing along his earlobes.

"My heart is as hard as iron!"

She forced herself to endure Berea's wild roar, but her steps retreated unconsciously, her eyes filled with blood-red ripples.

"My nose is now clear."

Berea saw Riel retreating and tickled her nose with her left hand, which was bound in the shackles.

Then she leaned forward, landing on her hands with sharp nails, and rushed towards the blonde girl like a hunting beast.

"When you're on all fours, you're much more flexible than when you're on two feet."

【shower】!

Berea grinned, rushed towards Iron Storm quickly, stretched out her claws, and prepared to break the blonde girl's neck.

However, what greeted Berea was a blunt-tipped spear with a golden glow that pierced through the blood-red ripples.

She looked in surprise at the heroic blond girl riding the iron horse in front of her.

[Iron Taming Technique: Arriving]!

Just as Berea was charging in the opposite direction.

Riel stopped retreating, and the heavy armor he was wearing broke into pieces of steel, which then attracted the scattered metal fragments nearby like a magnet and combined into a steel horse.

She rode on a steel steed, like the legendary female general who had won every battle, holding up a heavy, blunt-tipped spear, facing the living weapons charging at her.

Rumble!

The figures of Berea and Riel intertwined, and the noise caused by the collision shook the passage and tore apart the open rooms.

In the center of the storm.

Berea used her shackled hands to firmly resist the tip of the gun. The strong wind blew up her white hair, but it could not blow away the increasingly bloodshot eyes.

Chi!Chi!Chi!

A sharp and harsh friction sound was heard.

During the wrestling match, Berea's footsteps rubbed against the ground frantically under the impact of the knight's charge, leaving two obvious marks, and she slowly retreated.

But there was no panic on Berea's face, and a layer of blood-red glow was diffused on her gray skin.

She shook her head, as if trying to shake off the madness in her consciousness.

But her efforts were in vain, and a hint of madness crept into her eyes.

Berea held the tip of the gun tightly with both hands and withstood the attack from the blonde girl.

Then, she turned over and leaped, using the blunt-tipped spear to pounce on the blond boy, whose old strength had been exhausted but whose new strength had not yet returned.

【Blood Monster】!

Berea stepped on the blunt-tipped spear, and her hands with shackles glowed blood-red, as if a bloody blade was sweeping towards the seductive neck.

"Armor on!"

Riel's expression changed in shock as he smelled a deadly danger.

She immediately retreated, dispelling the iron steed she was riding, and transformed herself into heavy armor to cover her body again.

She caught a glimpse of the blood-red light approaching her from the corner of her eye, and she rolled backwards in a panic.

Although he avoided the fatal attack, four cracks were still left on the heavy armor, and a little blood seeped out.

"The aura on you is very familiar. Are you also my companion?" Berea asked doubtfully, blinking her white eyes.

“But something was wrong”

She licked the blood on her fingertips with her tongue and frowned.

"Your blood smells of blood witchcraft, and I have no memory of you."

During the days at the experimental base, Berea saw many of her former companions and listened to their pitiful cries.

Those wailing cries of thirst for blood!

Berea could understand their inability to suppress their inner feelings, but what made her unbearable was not how frequent or how harsh the sounds were.

But the monotonous content!

Those guys' insatiable thirst for blood was the most boring thing she knew.

At that time, Berea was thinking, what would happen if he was allowed to break free from the shackles?

Is her bloodlust more extreme than that of the other prisoners?

Will she become as stupid and bored as they are?

The answer I got was——

She will help those experimental subjects who are unable to suppress their inner blood desire and have completely failed to be liberated.

Berea did the same thing after she came out. She helped the failed experimental subjects to leave this dark world "peacefully".

But now, Berea sensed a different extraordinary aura from the blonde girl in front of her.

"Wait. You're not the failed experiment here?"

Berea seemed to have thought of something and looked at the blonde girl in surprise.

"Then do you know the way out?"

Riel got up and heard Berea's question. He felt something was wrong and opened his mouth to test it.

"Do you have your own reason?"

Berea smiled when she heard this.

"Haha, of course I have my own reason."

Perhaps she knew that her smile looked a little hideous, so she took a step back and played with her shackles.

"Friend, can you take me out? I hate life here."

Berea asked cautiously, the bloodshot in her white eyes fading.

Riel looked deeply at the white-haired girl in front of him, wanting to get more information.

"What's your name?"

"Ah, your name? They call me Crazy Rose." Berea shook the shackles embarrassedly.

"But I prefer the name Berea."

"Berea?"

Riel looked hesitant, not knowing whether to take Berea away.

She was about to speak, but she saw the bloodshot in Berea's white eyes, which had just faded away, increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Some of it even overflowed from the corners of the eyes, like blood flowing on the face.

And the source came from the shackles that Berea was wearing.

Deep inside the magic experiment base.

Tels and Finn were watching intently the battle between the Iron Maiden Riel and the Mad Rose Berea.

"Finn, you did a great job to develop so many combat capabilities for this living weapon called Mad Rose." Tels said with appreciation.

"It seems that her strength has reached the critical value of a hero. If she continues to work on it, she may have a chance to become a legend."

Finn looked away from Berea and shook his head slowly.

"The quality of the blood in reserve is not good enough."

"This is her strongest strength in her normal state."

Finn seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of desire appeared in his deep eyes.

"If Her Majesty the Pale Lady can provide some of Her Majesty Vladimir's blood for my experiment, I am confident that I can continue to improve Berea's strength."

He learned about the battle in Piltover through the Black Rose's special channel.

A guy named Victor actually used the blood of His Majesty Vladimir as a basis to create a combat mecha that is comparable to that of a legendary warrior.

Finn believed in his abilities and knew he could do no worse than him.

"I don't think it will work. I got some news that His Majesty Vladimir is accumulating his own strength and seems to be doing something in secret."

Tels retracted her gaze, looked at Finn beside her, and shook her head slightly.

"That's a shame."

Finn said nothing more and continued to observe the battle scene in the halo.

Suddenly.

Affected by the magical energy of the aftermath of the battle, the halo in front of him began to ripple.

"Hey, what's that shadow in the corner?"

When the halo returned to calm, Finn noticed something wrong in the picture.

His gloomy gaze fell on a corner of the halo screen.

A location leading to an exit.

In the candlelight of the dome, the shadows in the corners of the passage were somewhat abnormal.

Although it is very cleverly integrated into the shadow corner.

But when the energy aftermath swept through the channel.

Only the shadow in that corner remained motionless, not affected at all.

"Someone hiding in the shadows?"

Finn's eyes flickered, and he quickly thought of the many magical abilities recorded in the Black Rose, and was lost in thought.

"Look here."

He stretched out his finger, landed in the shadow corner, and spoke to Tels beside him.

"Someone sneaked in secretly."

After hearing what Finn said, Tels soon realized that there was something wrong with the shadow in the corner of the passage.

"Hmm? Why did Crazy Rose stop fighting?"

Before Tels could confirm her guess, unusual situations occurred in the battle in the passage.

Berea, who was fighting with Riel, stopped attacking. The two were talking about something, but no sound could be heard in the halo.

Finn also noticed Berea's abnormal condition. The bloodshot in her white eyes disappeared, as if she had regained her own rationality.

But this is impossible.

A created living weapon will never have its own intelligence.

In countless experiments, Berea's unbearable hunger for blood was so real.

"What's going on?" Tels asked in a serious tone.

"Maybe the command was entered incorrectly."

Finn did not dare to delay and immediately walked to the experimental instrument and re-entered the instructions.

The rhythmic tapping of fingertips echoed in the silent air.

A blood-red glow appeared on the experimental instrument, connecting to Berea in the shackles from afar.

Order 1: Hunt down the blonde girl!

Order 2: Destroy other invaders in the base!
