The Glory of Noxus.

In the dim underground dome.

Countless black spider silks are cleverly connected together to weave a huge and complex spider web.

These spider silks exude a dark aura, like a giant beast with its mouth open, waiting for its prey to fall into its net.

The Spider Queen, Iris, transformed into a giant black spider, coiled in the spider web, looking at Huo Jixing below with a slightly fearful look in her eyes.

Although she had the assistance of the ancient demon Evelyn, she still had no confidence in this battle.

Because Iris knew very well how terrifying Huo Jixing was.

In the Shurima continent, she teamed up with Vladimir to ambush Huo Jixing.

The final result was one death and one escape.

Iris fled in panic and returned directly to the capital of Noxus, hiding in a secret cave, her heart full of anxiety and fear.

Vladimir's death and the strength displayed by Huo Jixing lingered in her mind like a nightmare, making her dare not show up in public again.

This time, faced with the Pale Lady's invitation, Iris was hesitant.

She thought of everything she had, and reluctantly agreed to Ms. Pale, preparing to fight Huo Jixing again.

Fortunately, Iris’s mission this time was not to defeat Huo Jixing, but to entangle him.

This prevented Huo Jixing from being distracted and rushing to support the other two battlefields below.

On the eve of the battle, Iris specially reviewed and studied Huo Jixing's fighting style and extraordinary strength in order to better face the danger.

【Cocoon】!

Iris looked at Huo Jixing and gently raised her slender fingers, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Suddenly, many black spider silks fell silently, hiding in the darkness, and attacked the target like ghosts.

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, and instantly noticed the black spider silk attacking from the dark.

But he didn't move, just stood there quietly.

Suddenly!

A streak of red-gold Nanli fire ignited out of nowhere, like a thousand birds dancing, burning the fallen spider silk.

As the fire spread, the dim underground castle became as bright as day, and everything around was clearly visible under the light of the fire.

Huo Jixing looked beyond the flames and looked at Iris who had transformed into a spider.

If you count carefully, he and Iris have met three times and have some understanding of her character.

Iris looks powerful and cruel.

But she doesn't like to use her strength, preferring to hide in the dark and plan everything with strategies.

Moreover, Iris would never attack so blatantly against a target who is obviously stronger than herself.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, and Iris's origin emerged in his mind.

Iris was born hundreds of years ago into the Kythera family, one of the oldest bloodlines in the Noxian Empire.

When she was young, she knew how to use the power of her beauty and use it to influence the judgment of the weak.

When Iris reached marriageable age, she was pursued by Bolhot, the heir of the Zaafan family.

Many people were against their union because it would unilaterally strengthen the power of the Kisira family at the expense of the Za’afan family.

But Elise took great pains to deceive her fiancé and fooled all those who were against her, and finally made the engagement happen.

But Iris didn't know that this political marriage had been planned for many years, and it was the shadowy power behind the scenes of the empire that arranged everything.

Both Bolhot and Iris are pawns in this huge game.

Even so, no one expected that Iris would be able to control the Zaafan family so thoroughly.

It seems that Bolhot is still the family in name only, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who has the final say.

As time went on, Bolhot became more and more resentful towards Iris.

Eventually the resentment turned into murder.

During the cold and silent dinner, Bolhot came clean and told Elise directly.

He poisoned her drink, demanded that Elise withdraw from social affairs, and left the actual power in his hands.

Who is Elise?

She was able to take control of the Zaafan family in a short period of time because of her ruthlessness and forbearance.

In the face of death, Iris knew that Bolhot would definitely carry the antidote with him.

So she chose to endure it, pretending to be a remorseful wife, begging her husband for forgiveness in tears.

Just when Bolhot seemed convinced, Iris stabbed him in the heart with a silver dinner knife.

Even with the antidote, Elise was still bedridden for weeks.

According to many sources, many aristocratic forces at the time believed that Iris would die in the aristocratic struggle.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Elise survived.

It was the appearance of the Black Rose that changed her destiny.

In fact, the pale lady does not care who is in charge of the major nobles, she only cares whether the person in power is loyal to her.

Now that Iris has killed the puppet Bolhot, she must prove her worth.

Otherwise, someone more suitable will be found to replace her.

Faced with such a ladder of power, Elise's enthusiasm to join this conspiracy group was almost greater than anyone before her.

She often meets with members of the Black Rose, exchanging resources and tactics, weaving a complex web of interlocking schemes to thwart her opponents.

Relying on the wealth of her two families, few people can compete with her, and she is becoming more and more adept at persuading others to obey her.

Finally, in order to win the favor of the Pale Lady, Elise took her followers and sailed to the Shadow Isles to retrieve something that was very valued within the Black Rose.

"The relationship between Iris and the Pale Lady is definitely more than what the intelligence suggests."

Huo Jixing looked at Iris spitting spider silk from afar, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The intelligence system at the time did not record what exactly Elise found on the Shadow Isles.

But the thing mentioned was related to the plan of the Pale Lady and the Black Rose.

Because of this, Iris became a believer of the Spider God, Vicious Throat, which greatly improved her status in the Black Rose.

Almost on the same level as Vladimir and the Pale Lady.

【Predatory Frenzy】!

When Iris saw the raging fire, she took a deep breath and summoned many small black spiders from the dark.

These spiderlings are unusual and are made entirely of dark forces.

They self-destructed, creating rolling waves of darkness to stop the raging flames, like a battle between night and day.

At the same time, Iris herself frequently spit out black spider silk to construct her own spells.

I saw layers of spider silk surrounding Huo Jixing, forming a huge pupa-like structure.

Huo Jixing noticed Iris's secret actions and shook his head slightly.

He walked in the air, with the phantom of Nanli Suzaku reflected behind him.

Sonorous!

Huo Jixing did not use the spiritual wind, but used his hands as a knife to cut at the nearby spider silk.

The next moment!

Nanli Suzaku raised its head and soared into the sky from behind him. Its flaming wings rolled up red-gold flames, turning into a raging sea of ​​fire and burning the spider web.

The spider silk that Iris had just spit out was burned one by one under the burning of Nanli Fire, and it had no effect at all.

Even the little black spiders that kept rushing towards the Nanli Fire and exploded themselves were like moths to a flame, becoming fuel for the flame.

"Something is wrong. His power is much stronger than in Shurima."

Iris frowned, and fear appeared in her blood-red eyes.

Although the power displayed by Huo Jixing was still the power of fire, he was obviously much calmer than when he was in the Shurima continent.

"And Evelyn?"

Iris looked around, but could not see Evelyn, as if she had already left the battlefield.

"Damn it, didn't the Pale Lady make a deal with her? Why isn't she taking action now?"

Chichi! Chichi!

The black spider web continued to burn under the licking of the flames, and each spider silk made a faint crackling sound.

Iris clearly felt the burning heat coming towards her, and a hint of fear surged in her heart.

She immediately looked at the woven insect pupa, and the red-gold flames burned all the spider silk.

In the midst of the flames, Huo Jixing's figure became clearer and clearer, and he was rushing towards him.

Iris no longer cared about Evelyn's escape. She now had to consider how to face Huo Jixing's attack.

Huo Jixing's growth rate made Iris feel fatal danger.

With her strength, it is too difficult for her to deal with Huo Jixing now.

"Don't blame me, blame fate."

Iris' eyes were vicious and she spoke through gritted teeth.

Then she lowered her head and took out a strange black skull from her neck, with ancient words on it.

The black skull was suspended in mid-air, and an invisible pressure enveloped the castle, as if a majestic being was about to descend.

"Are you preparing to summon the Spider God, Vile Maw?"

Huo Jixing stopped walking and stared at the black skull in front of Iris.

He had seen the black skull in Bilgewater.

At that time, Iris summoned the Spider God, Vile Maw, to resist the resurrected will of Nagakabouros.

An ancient spell was chanted, and a strange atmosphere filled the dome.

Iris stretched out her spider legs and gently pressed against the black skull. She opened her ferocious mouth and uttered ancient and complex words, each syllable sounding like an ancient poem.

Buzz!Buzz!

As Iris chanted the spell, the black skull made a trembling sound, as if calling for the lost soul, or as if the devil in the abyss was responding.

suddenly!

Many of the core members of the Black Rose who were fighting below uttered sharp howls, with black smoke coming out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses.

The black smoke swirled together, forming a spider shape.

They seemed to be living in the bodies of the core members of the Black Rose, greedily devouring their flesh and souls.

They were the chosen sacrifices and had once had happy times with Iris.

Infused with flesh, blood and soul, tremendous power surged from the top of the black skull, condensing into an illusory portal.

Iris first looked at the door, then looked at the chaotic array of black roses below, licking her lips.

"Pity!"

After this incident, almost no one in the Black Rose dared to have sex with her anymore.

But what Iris cared about was not these, but the Pale Lady.

After she became a follower of the Spider God, Vicious Maw, the Pale Lady formally invited her to join the Black Rose.

Of course, Elise understood the Pale Lady's purpose in doing this.

Because she can travel back and forth to the Shadow Isles through the Black Skull and with the help of the Spider God's power.

The two hit it off immediately, and the Black Rose would provide Iris with a steady supply of stupid sacrifices to the Spider God.

In return, Elise would bring back any object of power from that dark, forbidden shore.

As for the origin of the black skull.

Elise remembered it very clearly; it was the skull of the ancient warlord Tharn Uzul.

In ancient times, the brutal Tharn Uzul attacked many tribes and established the earliest Noxian Empire.

And in Iris's subsequent investigation.

Driven by darkness, Sarn Uzul cleansed all tribes and villages that stood in his way, forging his own empire with blood and death.

"Are you scared too?" Iris looked at Huo Jixing who stopped and grinned.

She still remembered the feeling of the fangs of the Spider God, Vicious Throat, piercing her shoulder.

She fell to the ground, howling, twitching, and begging. The venom brought terrible changes to her body.

Her spine rose and fell involuntarily, and finally many spider legs emerged from the flesh on her back.

When everything was over, Iris saw her master, the Spider God, Vicious Throat, standing tall in front of her.

"Don't be impatient, you will soon taste the pain and fear!"

Just a moment.

The black portal has stabilized, with hideous spider legs extending from both sides.

Iris came up to him immediately and knelt on the ground.

The dark mist surged and gradually condensed into a giant spider as big as a mountain, almost occupying the underground dome.

On the black body, red eyes looked down, ruthless and indifferent.

"What a familiar smell!"

Huo Jixing looked up at the giant spider that filled the sky and let out a breath.

Once upon a time, he was completely powerless to resist the Spider God, Vicious Throat.

At that time, he was like an insignificant ant who could only tremble in fear before the terrifying power of the Spider God.

And now, looking at the descending Spider God, he could clearly feel that this was just a wisp of consciousness, not the real entity.

Huo Jixing took out the spiritual wind from his waist, stretched out his hand and brushed it, and the Nanli Fire attached to the blade.

The flames leaped, just like the fighting spirit burning in his heart.

"kill!"

Huo Jixing shouted softly, and the Nanli Suzaku behind him also cried out and rushed straight towards the Spider God.

The sword rises and the fog dissipates!

Huo Jixing's body merged into the Nanli Suzaku, the red-gold flames drove away the descending black fog, and the sharp sword light shot straight into the sky.

The Spider God, Vile Throat, still maintained his indifferent look.

When the sword light was approaching him, he casually raised his spider leg and stepped towards Huo Jixing.

It looks like he is stepping on an ignorant ant, ready to crush it to death in one go.

Sonorous!

But the next moment, the Spider God let out a painful wail, and his huge body couldn't help but tremble.

The deep red compound eyes stared at the ant-like existence below, with unconcealable anger and murderous intent.

"Is this all you have?"

Huo Jixing noticed the deep red compound eyes of the Spider God and chuckled softly.

The spiritual wind slashed down, and the black spider legs that the Spider God stretched out broke directly.

Immediately afterwards, the Nanli Fire ignited, surrounding the broken and fallen black spider and burning it to ashes.

"Let me see what the power of God is like."
