The Glory of Noxus.

Tomb of the Emperor.

The core area of ​​the Golden Palace.

Under the leadership of Sivir, Nasus, Huo Jixing and others walked along the cold corridor and went deep into the empty and deserted building.

There was no decoration on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if a terrifying pressure like a mountain was pressing on everyone's body.

Nasus still walked in the front, remaining calm and determined, but ripples appeared in his silent heart.

When the group reached the end of the corridor, a faint blue glow descended.

In the center of the dark room, an ancient sarcophagus had long been broken.

The awakened energy hovered above the sarcophagus.

From a distance, it looked like a spirit made of arcane energy, wrapped in cast iron chains and fragments of ancient sarcophagus.

The energy spirit who heard the voice opened its dark blue eyes and looked at everyone indifferently.

"Zerath!"

Nasus roared, his voice echoing in the dark room like thunder.

He looked at the witch spirit who had betrayed the Shuriman emperor and his energy flames ignited.

There was only silence in the dark room, and everyone could feel Nasus' hatred for Xerath sweeping through the air like a wave.

Nasus, gripping his long-handled battle axe tightly, walked towards the center of the dark room, where lay the broken ancient sarcophagus.

That magical sarcophagus was once used to seal the eternal fire beast, and later it was used to seal Xerath after his ascension.

"No need to guess, I know it's you." Zeratul's voice was like honey, just like when he was still a mortal.

"What other coward would lock me underground for a thousand years?"

“I will get you back underground,” Nasus promised.

At this, Xerath's body burned even brighter.

"You had your beloved brothers to help you. Now, tell me."

"Have you seen Renekton since the seal of our shared tomb was opened?"

“Don’t mention his name.” Nasus growled, and the deep purple energy in his eyes overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Haha, have you seen what he looks like now?"

Nasus said nothing, but Xerath laughed, his laughter like the screams of warring fire spirits.

"Of course you didn't see it."

The fire in Xerath's body flickered with a sinister smile.

"He'll kill you the moment he sees you."

After saying this, Zeratul walked forward with a look of dissatisfaction, causing energy ripples.

"I'm somewhat looking forward to the scene where you meet again."

Nasus ignored the distractions and slowly walked towards Xerath, holding a battle axe glowing purple.

"You are not the one chosen by the sun. Your power originally belongs to Azir."

"Neither is Renekton, and he ascended as well."

“Don’t mention his name.” Nasus said with his eyes wide open and gritted teeth.

"Your brother is weak, oh, of course, you should have known that."

Xerath's body floated, approaching Nasus, sniffing the power of death that he had missed for thousands of years, with a light flashing in his eyes.

"He fell apart much faster than I thought he would. I just told him that you left him in the dark. You trapped him with his enemies and left him to fend for himself."

Nasus knew in his heart that Xerath was trying to provoke him, but his hatred made him want only to tear the chains on Xerath.

The witch spirit's terrible power is maintained because of these chains.

Xerath and Nasus faced each other in the center of the chamber.

As if he thought of something, Zerath moved his eyes to Sivir and chuckled.

"Azir's bloodline. It was your intrusion that opened the seal. Otherwise, I would have had to spend more time on it."

He looked down at the sarcophagus on his body, thinking of the scene of betrayal he had seen in the mausoleum before.

"And you, are you looking for the woman who fell into the mausoleum?"

Xerath looked at Hojixing and Cassiopeia, pointing to the dark room behind them.

"To celebrate my official rebirth, you can take her away!"

Huo Jixing's pupils constricted, a flash of red-gold fireworks ignited, and a trace of doubt filled his eyes.

Is Xerath, the wizard who betrayed the Shurima Empire, so easy to talk to?

Without waiting for his answer, Nasus took the initiative to attack Xerath.

"Death is with me!"

[Death is coming]!

Nasus let the rage of the sand sea fill his body. His limbs were filled with strength and the Ascended Armor he was wearing expanded rapidly along with his body, as if the roaring desert was pouring its rage into his dark flesh.

His body grew larger and larger, towering terrifyingly, just like the first generation of ascenders in the legend, with a body as tall as a mountain.

boom!

Nasus's figure changed from motionless to an indistinct afterimage, rushing towards Xerath.

He bent his legs and jumped into the air, slashing downward in a long arc with the battle axe in his hand.

The sharp blade hit the chest, and the iron ring of the chain exploded under the impact, leaving a clear mark in the air.

Xerath was caught off guard, as if he had not expected Nasus to attack without warning.

He was thrown directly against the dark wall of the dark room. The stone wall shattered, and the dust from the underground tomb poured down along the cracks, and the huge stone slabs swayed.

Dark blue energy shot up into the sky.

Xerath stepped out of the dust, the sarcophagus fragments stained with energy flames.

"Nasus, you have changed too. You are no longer the warrior king who used to stick to the rules!"

"But I like you better now."

He looked at Nasus who was rushing towards him, stretched out his left hand, and energy raged in his eyes.

"I will reach out and take away the power of the desert, and destroy all who dare to defy me!"

Crackling!

The surging arcane energy condensed into a blazing light that hit Nasus like a shackle.

"uh-huh!"

Nasus' mountain-like body was unable to dodge and had to withstand the scorching energy beam head-on. The flames burned his skin, causing him to groan.

He didn't care, his eyes filled with anger, and rushed towards Xerath.

【Eye of Destruction】!

Xerath stood still, his mind pulling the restless arcane energy in the air, detonating the area where Nasus was.

Rumble!

The terrifying magic shock wave was like waves in a storm, hitting the sky, and the aftermath rolled around like fallen leaves in a strong wind.

The walls in the dark room wailed, and dust stormed through the floor.

Huo Jixing looked back at the frightened Cassiopeia and the calm Sivir behind him, and summoned clouds to prevent the impact of the aftermath.

Then he continued to observe the situation on the field.

Arcane energy swept through, and Nasus walked out of the center of the explosion, leaving scorch marks on his mountain-like body.

He jumped up and chopped at Zeratul who was floating in the air with a long-handled battle axe.

But before they hit, a series of dazzling arcane comets fell like boulders.

Although they carry cold flames, they can still burn and destroy everything they touch.

Nasus adjusted his posture and swung his axe to cut through another string of whistling white light balls.

However, this is just the beginning.

Xerath was suspended in front of him, throwing out lightning comets and laughing wildly.

"Childish idiot!"

"You think you can defeat me with your old strength?"
