The Glory of Noxus.

"of course can!"

After Huo Jixing finished speaking, he directly threw the forbidden statue in his hand to Kassadin.

This magical rune item once summoned Malzahar's void clone, but after being consumed excessively, it has lost its effect on Huo Jixing today.

Even if he decomposed the forbidden statue through the data panel, he could not get much essence.

Therefore, when Kassadin said that he could trade anything, Huo Jixing expected that the Voidwalker could bring him something valuable.

After all, Kassadin is famous. He once worked as a guide and adventurer in the Shurima continent, leaving behind many legends and stories.

The purple armor and void blade he wore were the best proof of this.

Kassadin's purple eyes flashed, and he stretched out his left hand to catch the forbidden statue thrown over, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He thought there would be some trouble, but he didn't expect that the extraordinary person in front of him would hand over the magic rune item so readily.

"Prophet Malzahar, I smell your presence."

Kassadin stared down at the forbidden statue and whispered softly, his fingers lightly brushing across the uneven body of the statue, as if sensing something.

When he remembered the breath belonging to Malzahar, the Void Blade on his right hand suddenly trembled, and a cold breath ravaged the entire place.

"You can't escape this time. I will definitely chop off your head and destroy the source of the dark power behind you."

When the void engulfed the village, Kassadin secretly vowed to avenge his wife and daughter and destroy all void creatures.

Huo Jixing stared at the emotionally unstable Kassadin with his eyes half-closed. The red-gold light filled his pupils, but there was no trace of cloud.

Is he hiding his aura?

He secretly thought that Kassadin's strength was extraordinary, and he was definitely among the best among all the extraordinary beings he had ever encountered.

Huo Jixing didn't want to create hostility with Kassadin because of a forbidden statue that had lost its attributes.

"I admire your generosity, so is there anything you would like in exchange?"

Kassadin suppressed his emotions, looked at Huo Jixing, and said solemnly.

Huo Jixing pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"I heard that you once went deep into the land of Icathia and fought against void creatures. I want to know if you have any information or items related to the void?"

When Kassadin heard Huo Jixing's words, his purple eyes flashed slightly, as if he did not expect Huo Jixing to be interested in the forgotten land of Icathia.

“It’s not with me.”

He answered calmly while looking into the distance. The roar of void creatures, like thunder, resounded through the dark sky.

"After the battle here is over, I will take you to my residence and you can choose whatever you want."

When Elder Faisal saw that the atmosphere between Huo Jixing and Kassadin eased, his frown relaxed and he spoke in a serious voice.

"Mr. Charles, let's go to the village gate first. The situation there is urgent."

"Okay, let's go."

Huo Jixing nodded, glanced at Kassadin, and went to the sand wall of the village together.

He believed that Kassadin was just a magic rune item and would not do anything that violated the agreement.

The forgotten land of Icathia.

At the bottom of the shattered capital, at the core of darkness.

Malzahar closed his eyes in meditation, sitting cross-legged in the crack of the void, vaguely merging into one.

Deep purple void power surrounded his body and rushed into it, as if having a mysterious communication with him.

"uh-huh!"

Suddenly, Malzahar groaned and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The empty eyes on his forehead also began to twitch, as if attacked by severe pain, and dark purple blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and across his face.

Malzahar immediately stretched out his left hand, pressed the empty eyes on his forehead, and forced them closed.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and his physical and mental pain was relieved.

"Celestial power? And three completely different kinds of celestial power?" Malzahar murmured, confusion and surprise flashing in his eyes.

"And when will new Protoss bearers appear in Runeterra?"

During his travels over the past hundred years, he understood that the greatest resistance to void erosion did not come from the many forces on the Valoran continent.

Instead, they are the star spirits that dominate the heavens and claim to be the guardians.

They regard the void as the greatest threat and will stop it from eroding Runeterra at all costs.

Malzahar recalled the battle he had just had with Huo Jixing, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart. As a prophet of the void, he saw the coming storm.

After a moment, he felt the pain in the Void Eyes gradually subside and opened them again.

He looked at the void cracks around him, as if countless roars and wails were echoing, trying to descend upon the Rune Land.

However, Malzahar remained unmoved and stared quietly into the void. Wisps of void power descended like spring rain, infusing into his forehead and eyes to heal his injuries.

“Can’t you see the future?”

In the abyss of the void, he saw the end of all the earthly suffering he had ever seen, but he could never see the future.

"Have I been away from the mortal world for too long? Must I return to Runeland, to the mortal world, to see through the fog that obscures the sacred void?"

Malzahar fell into deep thought. He was entrusted with the mission of connecting the void to reality. Not only did he have to face many enemies on the Valoran continent, but he also had to be wary of the Protoss who were always paying attention to the void.

"Mysterious Future Battle!"

Malzahar stood up and looked at the world behind the void crack, with a cold flash in his eyes.

This was the prophecy given by the Protoss when they created the Ascendants.

It was recorded in the texts of the Shurima Empire, but with the fall of the empire, this prophecy was buried in the dust of history.

Malzahar felt that, whether he believed it or not, Runeterra was destined to be destroyed.

And he will be a great pioneer!

Under the dark night.

The rock village was already brightly lit.

Outside the sandy city wall, a freezing cold wind howled past, carrying sand and gravel, turning into a powerful sandstorm.

The mottled firelight illuminated the city walls, bringing a touch of warmth and light to the world before chaos arrived.

Behind the wall, Xiamala looked at the yellow sand storm with a serious expression, horror flashing in her pupils.

In the hazy vision, the originally lush oasis was covered in flying dust under the ravages of the yellow sand storm.

Endless sand and gravel rushed in like a torrent, ruthlessly submerging the oasis, and the golden sand filled the vision.

Xiamara's gaze passed over the sand and saw a dark purple figure rolling underground in the endless darkness and storm.

Void creatures!

These horrific creatures from the void made low sounds and rushed towards the rock village one after another.

"Their strength!"

Xiamara could feel the powerful aura emanating from the void creatures, which was far beyond what ordinary people could face.

If there is no support, the sand and earth wall will not be able to be defended at all.

She turned her head and looked behind her. The fierce battle in the sky had ended, and the purple light representing the void was completely extinguished.

This indicates that the village has been cleared of betrayers and dangers.

Huo Jixing, Ezreal and others will come here to support us soon.

Xiamara took a deep breath, looked at the approaching sandstorm, and clenched the sharp scimitar in his hand, preparing for the upcoming battle.

She now has to lead the villagers and her guards to resist the first wave of invasion from these void creatures.

Otherwise, the city wall would be breached and the village would be defenseless.

"Lord Xiamara, they are already within a thousand meters."

The guard of the Midalda Chamber of Commerce beside him took off the telescope and spoke in a serious tone with a hint of nervousness.

"continue waiting."

Xiamara waved her hand, signaling everyone on the city wall to wait for orders.

She suppressed her inner fear and stared firmly at the approaching void creature in the distance.

The tribal hunters were fully armed, with their bowstrings half-drawn and every arrow ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.

The caravan guards held their Hextech standard spears tightly, their eyes solemn.

These trap weapons glowed with a cold metallic luster in the night, the gun bodies were firmly placed on the parapet, and fingers were on the triggers.

Five hundred meters.!

Four hundred meters.!

Three hundred meters.!

As the sandstorm approached the village, the wind that had been covering the sky gradually slowed down and the dust dispersed.

This is because the solid rock veins beneath the rock village, combined with the rune arrays specially arranged by the Ixtal mages, prevent the void creatures from digging.

When the void creature's head popped out and half of its body appeared on the ground, it continued to move forward.

"shooting!"

Xiamara's low and decisive voice broke the tense and solemn atmosphere on the city wall.

Immediately, tribal hunters and caravan guards took action.

Arrows poured out like raindrops, Hextech standard spears roared, and dense firepower intertwined into a web of death, sweeping towards the approaching void creatures.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The sounds of arrows breaking through the air came one after another, densely covering the sky, like meteors streaking across the night sky.

However, due to the interference of sandstorms and the strange movement capabilities of void creatures.

Most of the arrows missed, and only a small portion hit the void creatures, splashing purple blood and carrying their bodies out of the ground.

Amidst the shrill howls, the void creature did not slow down its attack because of its injuries, but instead became even more ferocious.

"Void Nester?"

Xiamara stared at the battlefield, frowning as he looked at the small void creatures rolling out from the ground.

Through trade with the rock village, the Midalda Chamber of Commerce obtained a lot of void materials and gained some understanding of void creatures.

She looked at the corpses of the void creatures from afar and recognized their origins from their features.

Voidbrood are insect creatures that have been corrupted by the power of the void. They usually live on the underground surface of the land of Icathia.

These creatures are not very aggressive or defensive, but their numbers can be said to be everywhere in the land of Icathia.

And they rarely travel outside the land of Icathia.

Xiamara looked gloomy. These void nest insects lived in groups. Once threatened, they would come out in droves.

Now, for unknown reasons, it is impacting the rock village.

She looked at the countless Void Nesters crawling out of the oasis, and silent fear emerged in her heart.

The attack of the rock village was just a tickle to the Void Nesters and could not stop their forward momentum.

Squeak!Squeak!

The Void Nesters let out bursts of screams and low buzzes, and rushed towards the city wall one after another.

The momentum was like a deep purple wave, surging and unstoppable.

The caravan guards noticed the approach of the Void Nesters and immediately gave up free shooting in favor of single-shot kills.

Chichi! Chichi!

The Hextech standard spears in their hands roared, releasing the power of the embedded Hextech gems, turning into beams of scorching light, ignoring the purple shells and taking the lives of the Void Nesters.

These rays of light pierced through the bodies of the Void Nesters like sharp swords, turning them into ashes in an instant.

Compared to the arrows of the tribal hunters, the Hextech standard spears of the caravan guards are obviously much more efficient.

But the number of the caravan guards was too small, no more than twenty people at most.

Although they were brave and fearless, they seemed powerless in the face of the huge number of Void Nesters.

They tried their best to resist the attack of the Void Nesters, but they could not stop these monsters from moving forward.

Facing the attack from the caravan guards and tribal hunters, a deep purple wave transformed from void nesters spread across the oasis and surged towards the sandy city walls.

Xiamara looked at the Void Nest swarm that was getting closer and closer, wanting to stop it.

But she understood that if she relied on her extraordinary strength and jumped into the wave of Void Nesters, she would not be able to hold on for long and would disappear completely.

"No, we can't let these void nest insects enter the village."

Just when she decided to take action, she suddenly felt a scorching heat rising in the air around her.

Xiamara looked up and saw Mr. Charles floating in the sky like the blazing sun.

Behind him, a noble and majestic red-gold bird was soaring, spreading its brilliant flaming wings.

Buzz!Buzz!

As the birds flapped their wings, the air around them began to burn faintly.

The night sky seemed unable to withstand the scorching heat and began to twist and deform.

Then, scarlet-gold flames poured down from the sky like the Milky Way, forming an extremely spectacular waterfall of sky fire.

Xiamara looked at the waterfall of skyfire falling from the sky, and for the first time felt the terrifying power of Mr. Charles. She also understood who had attacked in the village before.

No wonder Master Jarre was so respectful and carefully arranged Mr. Charles' itinerary.

Under Huo Jixing's perfect control, the blazing torrent of flames transformed from the Nanli Fire cleverly avoided the area of ​​the sand wall and pounced on the surging Void Nesters.

Squeak! Squeak!

The rapid and miserable wails echoed over the oasis.

Under the torrent of flames, the Void Nesters obviously had no time to dodge, and the two sides collided directly.

The next moment!

The Nanli Fire ignited instantly, and the red-gold flames were like a hurricane, directly suppressing the incoming sandstorm and sweeping the Void Nest Worms into the sea of ​​fire.

Under the high temperature, these deep purple void nest insects were quickly ignited, turned into ashes, and drifted away with the wind.

From afar, the deep purple wave transformed by the Void Nest Worms quickly disappeared under the violent burning of the red-gold flames.

Even the Void Nesters became fuel, providing a constant supply of firewood for the raging flames.
