Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

"You fart!"

Anaca suddenly roared, and without any hesitation, the muscles in his arms tensed as he slashed at Zolani with his spear.

“I have followed the general in battle for a thousand years. He has saved my life countless times. How could a coward like you possibly understand the relationship between us?”

"hehe!"

A bloody light emanated from Zolani's hand, and the murky blood condensed into a shield that blocked Anaka's attack. She continued, "..."

“People change, Anaka, especially a madman like Aatrox. Otherwise, why would he send you here alone to take this risk? He killed our other brethren back then, and he'll do the same to you now!”

"Zolani, you coward, die!"

Anaca no longer wanted to hear anything Zolani said, because in his view, everything Zolani said was an insult to Aatrox and that she was trying to sow discord between him and Aatrox.

The bone spurs on the back of his arms spread out completely, and a pair of bone wings condensed behind him. The wings flapped rapidly, and Anaka charged straight at Zolani from his high position.

Zoranny does not possess wings, a fact well-known among the Darkin. Therefore, her combat effectiveness is significantly reduced when facing enemies with the ability to fly.

"Qiang!"

The curved chainsaw clashed with the spear, and the chains instantly wrapped tightly around the tip of Anakha's spear before pulling it down sharply.

Zolani was well aware of his inability to fly, so he had to do his best to pull Anaka from the sky to the ground.

However, Anaca, a former Celestial Warrior and now a Darkin, was a battle-hardened and powerful warrior under Aatrox, so how could he possibly overlook this fact?

The spears that had been pieced together suddenly separated, and as the blades slid rapidly, Zolani's chains came off, and Anaka's attack came to Zolani once again.

"Coward! You dare insult Aatrox! You will die today!"

In an instant, amidst the scattered pieces of corpses, two figures engaged in a fierce collision.

As the roaring sounds echoed, Zolani continued to speak to Anaka:

“Anaka, Aatrox has changed. He has become a coward. He has been unworthy to be your general ever since he killed our own people with his own hands.”

"He sent you to your death. He just wants you to weaken my power so he can take advantage of the situation."

"Zolani, shut up!"

Despite Zolani's provocations, Anaca remained unmoved. On the contrary, Anaca's attacks became increasingly violent because of Zolani's insults towards Aatrox.

He had been a follower of Aatrox since the time of Old Shurima, and he was deeply attracted to and captivated by Aatrox's character.

He was incredibly powerful, sincere, and a skilled commander. He always led from the front in every battle; he possessed everything a general should have.

In countless battles, Aatrox saved his life from numerous powerful enemies.

Even after the fall of the ancient Shurima Empire, when the once-ascended gods fell into darkness and began fighting amongst themselves, Anakha still chose to continue following Aatrox.

He did not see it as a humiliation; on the contrary, Anaca was proud to be able to follow Aatrox!

Now, how could he possibly change his perception of Aatrox because of a few words from Zolani?

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Anaca's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, and Zolani, watching all this, knew that she could no longer persuade Anaca to abandon Aatrox simply through persuasion.

In this situation, she had no choice but to use another method.

As expected, a few words won't work if you want to create a world without war and chaos. To achieve your goal, you can only rely on blood magic to manipulate everyone!

At this moment, Zolani's eyes had completely changed, becoming filled with a cold and murderous intent.

"Oh!"

Another collision sent Anaka staggering backward once more, but Zolani, on the other hand, did not retreat as she had before.

After repelling Anaca, Zolani released her curved chainsaw and launched it straight at Anaca, while an incredibly intense dark red light began to emanate from her hand.

A thick, pungent stench filled the air, materializing into streaks of crimson light that rushed toward the direction of Arcana.

Just as the curved chainsaw once again entangled Anaca's spear, Zolani's blood magic also arrived in front of Arcana.

"Uh-huh!"

As if his throat had been gripped tightly by a pair of powerful hands, Anaka's body jolted violently. He then realized that the blood in his body seemed to have stopped flowing completely, and he had lost control of his body!

Arcana knew that it was Zolani's blood magic.

Clenching his teeth, Anaka's body jolted violently, his muscles twitching as he tried to break free from Zolani's control.

Arcana regained the ability to move his arms first, and he thought he would be able to escape smoothly. However, he may have underestimated the power of blood magic.

Blood magic is undoubtedly incredibly powerful, being an essential element for all Darkin to reshape their bodies.

As for the creator of blood magic, no one knows the extent to which Zolani mastered it.

Just as Anaka thought he was about to break free from the control of the blood magic, his movements suddenly stopped, and then a look of extreme horror flashed in his eyes.

"Oh!"

In an instant, Arcana's left arm exploded, and Arcana found that his heart was beating faster and faster, and the sound of his heartbeat was getting heavier and heavier.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Anaka fell to the ground, she was about to get up when Zolani appeared before her, her right hand, glowing with blood, positioned in front of Anaka's head.

"Anaka, you will eventually become my fighting force and fight for me."

The moment Zolani finished speaking, the blood magic she had been accumulating in her hands erupted completely, enveloping Anaca's body entirely.

Arcana desperately wanted to move his body to escape Zoranny's control, but Zoranny's blood magic had completely taken control of his body, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

Gradually, Anaka became aware that he was losing control of his body little by little.

"Zolani, General Aatrox will definitely kill you!"

Zolani's right hand fingers danced, and before Anaka lost control of his body, he heard Zolani's last words.

"Before that, he will definitely kill you with his own hands and then step over your corpse."

As the last sound faded, the light in Anaka's eyes completely dimmed, replaced by dense bloodshot veins.

Zolani withdrew her right hand, a faint smile on her face, and looked at Anaka in front of her.

At this moment, Anaka slowly stood up, his face devoid of any expression, standing beside Zolani like a walking corpse, without making any further movements.

Without saying anything more, Zolani raised her arm again, and her blood magic controlled the fragments of the corpse on the ground, reforming them into a bizarrely shaped flesh and blood tomb.

“Aatrox, send all your brothers and sisters to me. I can’t wait to see the look on your face.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zolani turned around and prepared to head south.

Her followers are flocking to Shurima from all over the world, and she needs to step in to win them over when the time is right.

However, just as Zolani and the zombie-like Anaka had rushed a short distance, she suddenly stopped and looked up sharply ahead.

When she saw the two figures standing in front of her, an extreme anger flashed in her eyes.

"It's you!"

Opposite them, Zuo Chi and Varus stood in the yellow sand, scrutinizing Zolani from head to toe.

It has to be said that compared to when they parted last time, the aura emanating from Zolani now is several times stronger.

Perhaps only now does she truly possess the ability to contend with Aatrox's Darkin Legion.

However, just as Zuo Chi and Varus's gazes fell on Anaka next to Zolani, the two suddenly froze.

"Varus?" Zuo Chi looked at Varus beside him in confusion.

Zuo Chi did not recognize Anaka, so he did not know that the powerful Darkin standing next to Zolani was the Anaka they were looking for.

Varus didn't turn his head, but stared intently at Zolani and growled, "That's Anaka! Zolani used vile blood magic to control his body!"

The scene before him reminded Verus once again of the time thousands of years ago when his sister was controlled by Zoranny.

At the thought of this, Varus's body trembled uncontrollably with rage.

At this moment, Zolani spoke again: "Varus, when did you become Aatrox's lackey?"

As sworn enemies who have been at odds for thousands of years, Zoranny immediately unleashed her aura upon regaining her strength, provoking Aatrox.

She could sense Aatrox's presence; she knew Aatrox and her followers were heading her way, but she hadn't expected Varus to be even faster than Aatrox.

"Whoosh!"

Varus didn't even say a word to Zolani. The yellow sand beneath his feet exploded, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Zolani.

"Zuo Chi, hand her over to me!"

Varus drew his longbow instantly, and several purple arrows flew toward Zoranny.

"Coward, die!"

Faced with Varus, who suddenly started fighting without warning, Zuo Chi smiled helplessly and then rushed towards Zolani.

However, Zuo Chi did not get involved in the battle between Varus and Zolani. Instead, he came to Anaca, who was about to raise his spear.

Clearly, Anaca has lost control of his body; he is now merely a puppet manipulated at will by Zolani. Naturally, he would turn his attention to Varus when Zolani is attacked.

As Zuo Chi scrutinized the Darkin before him, a hint of curiosity shone in his eyes.

Is the Darkin, who is so powerful, really just a follower of Aatrox?

What kind of person was Aatrox in the past that so many powerful individuals would follow him so devotedly?

However, now is definitely not the time to think about these things. After all, Varus and Zolani have already started fighting, and Zuo Chi certainly cannot allow Anaka to attack Varus at this time.
