The Glory of Noxus.

Uzeris, a northern port city near the Conqueror's Sea.

Although this city is not as prosperous and bustling as Nashrameh, it also does not have the unique geographical location and long cultural history of Birgun.

However, the importance of Uzeris far exceeds them.

All this is because of the Du Kecao family's mansion located in the center of the city.

It represents not only the symbol of the Du Koca family, but also the core of the power of the Noxian Empire in the Shurima continent.

Even though General Du Cocao has disappeared for a long time, no one still goes against the will of the Du Cocao family.

In the dim night, bright yellow candles were lit in the mansion, embellishing the gloomy environment.

Soleana walked along the corridor, a trace of anxiety on her dignified and beautiful face, and her fingers subconsciously rubbed her dress.

As the only wife of General du Cocao, it was hard for anything to upset Soleanna.

Even when her husband betrayed her and recognized Swain's legal status, she had never been so anxious.

dong dong!dong dong!

Soleana came to a magnificent house deep in the mansion. After hesitating for a moment, she knocked on the door.

"Cassiopeia, it's me!"

Hearing no movement in the house, her eyes darkened slightly and she continued speaking.

"Is there nothing wrong with you?"

Recently, Cassiopeia has been locking herself in her room and not allowing anyone to enter.

Even she is no exception.

Cassiopeia's change occurred after she returned from exploring the lost tomb of the mysterious Ascendant.

Soleana looked at the still silent house, feeling somewhat helpless and annoyed.

In order to obtain extraordinary power, Cassiopeia became almost obsessed with digging ancient tombs in the continent of Shurima.

Not long ago, Cassiopeia accidentally found a lost ancient tomb. Through the information inside the Black Rose, she suspected that it belonged to a mysterious ascender.

Cassiopeia felt that she could not dig the ancient tomb by herself, so she asked Katarina to come to Shurima to carry out the mission and also hired a local guide.

As for what the final outcome would be, Soleanna wasn't quite sure.

But Catalina disappeared unexpectedly because of this, and Cassiopeia even locked herself in the house.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Cassiopeia's voice rang out in the silent room, sounding hoarse and weak.

"You should go back to bed early."

"You don't have to be too stressed. With our status, even if we can't defeat Katarina, our lives won't be in danger."

Soleana thought about what was happening in the Noxian capital and sighed secretly.

Catalina's talent is too great.

The evaluation of her within the Black Rose is also very good.

Soleana looked at the room which had fallen into silence again and slowly left.

In the dim room.

The faint candlelight flickered, dispelling the surrounding darkness. Points of light danced on the ground, reflecting pieces of broken glass.

Cassiopeia struggled to get up from the ground, her arms trembling as she supported her shaky body.

Every slight movement was accompanied by unbearable pain, as if a cold steel knife was cutting her nerves.

She looked down at her lower body, which was no longer a pair of human legs, but a winding snake body, with fine scales reflecting a faint and cold luster.

These scales cover her body, both a symbol of her transformation and a mark of her pain and struggle.

"Snake Tail. No, it's not me!"

Cassiopeia couldn't believe it, her eyes were full of confusion and pain, and she was grieving for the life she had lost.

The once beautiful, cunning and intelligent daughter of Soleana du Cocao is no longer there, replaced by a strange-looking creature.

She endured the severe pain, swinging her scaly snake tail, crawling towards the bronze mirror, staring at herself in the mirror with an extremely ugly expression.

"Why? Why!"

Cassiopeia silently questioned her fate, and no more tears could flow from her venomous snake-like eyes.

Over the past few weeks, she has pulled herself out of the abyss of despair.

This was not the ascension she expected, but the bronze mirror shattered her fantasy.

"Extraordinary power!"

Cassiopeia sensed the extraordinary power surging in her body, and a dim green light lit up in her eyes.

This is the power she gained in the lost tomb, and it is also the source of her comfort.

Wow! Wow!

The scaly snake tail swept across the broken glass on the ground, reflecting a sad and beautiful glow in the dim light.

Cassiopeia decided to accept her fate and her serpentine form.

Because the current life is at least much better than when Catalina was missing.

"Well, we can't let anyone find your location. That lovely and brave guide has been poisoned by my poison and will not live long."

Cassiopeia's eyes were cold, as if she had thought of something. She looked towards Uzeris in the night and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

"Now, as long as I get rid of you, no one will know that I have contacted Katarina."

In Uzeris late at night, the outline of the city seems particularly quiet under the faint sight.

On the flat street, there was almost no other sound except the occasional whistling of the wind and the drunken noise of Noxian soldiers coming from afar.

As the sun disk rose again in the north of the Shurima continent, Noxian soldiers once again experienced the baptism of war and frequently wiped out the resurgence of the rebels.

But in between wars, Noxian soldiers also need to release their inner stress and fatigue.

Alcohol and food became their best choices.

Cassiopeia left the mansion and walked along the jagged rooftops, looking down at the winding alleys and crowded streets of Uzeris.

She didn't care about the cold night in the oasis at all. She just wore a gauze and thin silk shirt, revealing the transitional junction of her waist, where her delicate skin turned into curved and layered snake skin scales.

Until Cassiopeia stopped in front of a simple tavern.

The lights of the tavern flickered in the night, and the smell of barbecue and alcohol slowly penetrated Cassiopeia's nose.

But these smells could not cover up the scent of the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion in the tavern.

"Just you."

Cassiopeia's eyes were cold, and a strong desire to hunt suddenly emerged in her heart.

The venom and saliva mixed together, creating a burning and spicy taste in her mouth.

She flexed the broad muscles of her tail with such force that the stonework broke, and the debris tumbled down to the street.

"Is this feeling the change brought about by the transformation into a venomous snake's body?"

The dull sound of falling gravel startled more than a dozen sets of rats, which fled in all directions.

Disheveled street urchins ran from corner to corner, faces whispered in the shadow of their hoods, and from time to time a soldier stumbled out of the tavern.

Everything that happened before her eyes was seen clearly by Cassiopeia who was lurking in the darkness.

Cassiopeia ran her talon-like hands over the scales of her lower body, her serpentine form hidden in shadow.

She was waiting, waiting for the soldiers from the Reiser Garrison to come out.

Generally speaking, the Reiser Garrison Corps belongs to the ace corps, and the ordinary soldiers in it are at least an officer.

It's hard to come to this simple tavern.

But this pub is a little special as it provides erotic services to its guests.

Crunch!

The wooden door of the tavern opened, and a broad-shouldered soldier from the Reiser Garrison Legion staggered out.

He was wearing purple leather armor and holding a bottle of wine in his hand, looking refreshed.

Cassiopeia followed him silently across the rooftops, then through the streets and alleys until he finally entered an empty gymnasium.

Simply perfect!

She slid onto the adjacent rooftop, her eyes alight with the urge to hunt.

"No, let's wait and see if there are other prey."

Cassiopeia's tail twitched in excitement and her forked tongue darted out, tasting the air around her.

She received news that three groups of Reiser garrison investigators had come to Shurima to investigate Katarina's disappearance.

Affected by this, the person in charge of the Raiser Guard Secret Station in Uzeris was a little scared.

He secretly dispersed his men, intending to turn to Swain again and seek benefits.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered.

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison in the courtyard held their breath and quietly slipped away along the edge, preparing to look for other escape routes.

"Hmm? Have you noticed that I'm following you?"

Cassiopeia took a deep breath, inhaling the blood of the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion into her lungs, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

"Forget it, let's capture him first, and then interrogate him to find out the whereabouts of the others."

She dragged her snake-like body down from the roof and hid in the shadows.

Sonorous!

When the soldiers of the Reiser garrison heard the noise behind them, they immediately drew their swords.

He turned around, but didn't know which direction to face his threat.

"Damn it, I'm an officer of the Reiser Garrison Corps. Who are you? Do you know what you are doing?"

The cold night wind blew by, and no one answered his question.

The soldier of the Reiser Garrison Corps swallowed, a trace of panic creeping across his face.

He had to swing the steel sword in his hand to try to dispel the fear in his heart.

"Don't fight me in the shadows, show yourself!"

"as you wish!"

Cassiopeia chuckled, and seeing that the time was right, she stepped out of the shadows.

In the courtyard, she stood up and showed herself, ready to receive praise.

"monster!"

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion looked at the woman in front of them, who had half human body and half snake body, and were dumbfounded and panicked.

"monster?!"

After Cassiopeia's transformation, her body was taller than her prey, and she looked down at it with angry eyes, revealing a murderous look.

"Do you think I'm a freak too?"

She slid to the left and swung her tail to sweep the lower body of the soldier of the Reiser Garrison, easily knocking him to the ground.

Then, she wrapped her giant tail around the chest of the soldier of the Reiser Garrison Legion, squeezing his ribs tighter and tighter, feeling his heart struggling under the squeezing.

Click!

Cassiopeia heard the sound of bones breaking, but she suppressed her inner impulse and did not completely wipe out the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Legion.

She loosened her grip on the snake's tail slightly, enjoying the fear and trembling of her prey.

"I know your face."

The soldier of the Reiser Garrison Legion looked at the charming face in front of him and spoke in a trembling voice.

"You are Miss Cassiopeia!"

"Haha. Haha, it turns out you were the one who made Miss Katarina disappear!"

When Cassiopeia heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, revealing her waxy yellow fangs covered with mucus.

"How much more do you know?"

"Forehead!"

The soldiers of the Reiser Garrison met Cassiopeia's gaze, as if they were imprisoned in a prison.

"An investigator is coming. His Majesty Swain will never let you go."

"I'll be waiting for you down there."
