Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

"Qiang!"

With his longsword drawn, Zuo Chi held it horizontally in front of him, blocking Anaka's spear. At the same time, Zuo Chi also saw Anaka's eyes, which were as lifeless as a dead fish's.

Zuo Chi was somewhat suspicious about how to free Anaka from Zolani's control.

As someone on Aatrox's side, Zuo Chi certainly couldn't let his comrade become Zolani's tool.

However, just as Zuo Chi was pondering, Arcana charged towards him once again.

Now he is completely controlled by Zolani's blood magic. He has no fear of battle whatsoever, and he doesn't even need to consider whether he will die in the battle.

Anaca's every attack was nothing short of self-destructive. His spear struck Zuo Chi's body at incredibly tricky angles, while Zuo Chi used his longsword to block the spears coming towards him, all the while searching for any flaws in the blood magic.

Compared to the battle between Zuo Chi and Anaca, the battle between Varus and Zolani was much more intense.

Arrows imbued with powerful withering energy kept shooting from Varus's longbow, leaving Zolani in a sorry state. Yet Varus maintained his distance from Zolani, constantly pulling her along with his longbow.

Compared to Anaca, Varus's combat power is on a completely different level.

Even Zolani's blood magic couldn't paralyze Varus's body unless it hit him at close range.

However, although Varus's long-range pull made Zolani look a bit disheveled, it couldn't cause her any real harm.

In the end, the distance between the two was closed, and it was Varus who took the initiative to approach Zoranny.

This time, Varus abandoned long-range shooting altogether, instead flexing his arm muscles and swinging the longbow in a wide arc towards Zoranny's head.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Verus, I should have killed you and your sisters back then!"

Zoranne mocked Varus mercilessly: "You're not even as good as Aatrox, so what do you have to kill me with!"

Varus remained silent in the face of Zoranny's taunts, but his attacks became even more frequent.

Dark purple, corrupting chains shot from his longbow, binding Zolani tightly the moment they touched her body, while another blood-red arrow lit up on Varus's longbow.

"Zolani, die!"

Zolani swung her curved chainsaw swiftly, severing all the corrupting chains binding her, and at the same time, a crimson light shone from her hand once more.

“Varus, we all know the power of that mortal. He is no match for Anaca. When he is killed by Anaca, you will be facing Aatrox’s henchmen.”

"Guess what Aatrox would do to you if he knew you killed his brother!"

"boom!"

Just as Zolani finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from her and Varus' side.

"Ok?"

Following Varus's mocking gaze, Zolani turned her head to look in the direction from which the roaring sound came.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked; Zolani still had some confidence. But when she saw what was happening over there, Zolani couldn't believe her eyes no matter what she saw.

After withstanding countless attacks from Anakha, Zuo Chi finally concluded:

On his own, freeing Anaka from Zolani's blood magic was an impossible task, practically impossible. Therefore, in order to successfully bring Anaka back to Aatrox and restore Zolani's power, Zuo Chi ultimately decided:

It's just red bean paste!

Since Anaka's physical body is no longer under his control, he might as well just shatter the physical body and take only Anaka's true form!

At worst, we can just find him a suitable body later.

This led to the scene that Zoranny and Varus just witnessed.

Zuo Chi's longsword knocked the spear out of Anaka's hand. The longsword, imbued with a rich aura of ascending power, pierced Anaka's heart and, in the next instant, severed the arm that Anaka was holding the spear.

"puff!"

For a fleeting moment, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Anaka's eyes again, but soon the connection with his main body was severed, and Anaka's main body fell into the sand, while his physical body fell forward.

"This is impossible!"

Looking at the scene before her, Zolani's face showed a deep sense of disbelief.

She couldn't believe it. Just a short while ago, Zuo Chi's power was so weak that he couldn't resist her possession without going all out to activate his Ascended form.

But now, he can defeat a fearless Darkin so easily!?

Looking at Zuo Chi, who was bending over to wrap the spear, Zolani then looked at Varus.

This time, Zolani had already begun to consider retreating.

However, she absolutely could not leave so easily!

"drink!"

Zolani let out a roar, and a dense aura of blood erupted from her hands as she unleashed a powerful ball of crimson energy at Varus.

At the same time, Zolani immediately changed direction and rushed towards Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi originally thought Zolani was going to attack him, but just as Zolani got closer, she suddenly pulled Anaka's body up.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chi witnessed another scene that challenged his understanding.

Zolani's body was instantly covered in dark red blood, and a chilling tearing sound kept coming from her body. Then, Zolani's torso and limbs were completely torn apart, and she was like a piece of human skin that had been cut apart. Her whole body turned into a gaping maw.

Under Zuo Chi's gaze, Zolani's split body completely enveloped Anaka's flesh, then closed up again, and the previous wounds were instantly healed.

Zuo Chi: "!?"

Having done all this, Zolani didn't linger. While unleashing several attacks at Zuo Chi and Varus, she turned and transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the distance.

After Zuo Chi cleared away Zolani's attack, Zolani's figure had already disappeared into the swirling yellow sand. Even with his mental perception activated, he could no longer sense Zolani's location.

At this moment, Varus came to Zuochi's side.

He seemed to notice Zuo Chi's surprise, so he slowly said, "That's one of Zolani's most evil abilities. She can evolve by constantly devouring others, and she has devoured many Darkborn in the past!"

"Otherwise, how could a mere Zolani possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with us!"

Zuo Chi's brow furrowed, and he turned to look at Verus: "Does this also mean that the longer it drags on, the stronger she will become?"

In the southern Shadow Isles, a dense crimson light erupted from beneath the city of Hyria, followed by a dragon wielding a crimson halberd crashing through the solid ground.

The dragon's wings flapped continuously as it turned its head to look westward.

That's the direction of Shurima!

"General, I will help you kill that scum, Zolani, and then give you her true form as a gift!"

Just moments before, another Darkin, in the body of an elemental dragon, broke free of its seal and rushed straight to Shurima to answer the general's summons.

The Darkin Spear - Tarosh!

-

At the same time, in the western desert of Shurima.

"boom!"

After a long journey, Aatrox finally returned to the continent of Shurima. He couldn't wait to find Zolani and make her disappear from the world forever.

However, just as Aatrox was trying to locate Zolani, he sensed more than a dozen of Zolani's presence.

Actually, it's not a big deal. After all, once Aatrox reunites with his brothers and sisters, they can go and find them one by one.

Just as Aatrox was preparing to head east to find Zolani's location, he suddenly saw a dazzling blue light shooting straight into the sky ahead!

Looking up ahead, Aatrox saw a very peculiar blue building, and a large number of spirits rushing towards him from the altar.

It was a towering altar, with a huge blue obelisk on top and many devout believers below.

"Great Lord Xerath, we offer our faith, please grant us strength."

As he listened to the believers' words, Aatrox's expression suddenly turned extremely violent.

"Zerath!"

(The whole of Shurima is in complete chaos.)

Chapter 144. Ascended God Solo Kills Darkborn! Mythical Weapon

Although the climate is completely opposite to that of Freljord, it is undeniable that living conditions in Shurima are not much better than those in Freljord.

Zuo Chi and Varus walked across the desert, the gale whipping up sharp, knife-like sand that stung their faces, while the roars of void creatures echoed around them from time to time.

After leaving the battlefield, Zuochi and Varus headed north, intending to find a populated area to inquire about the recent situation in Shurima.

"Varus, now that you know the situation in Shurima, what are your plans?"

Zuo Chi, carrying a blood-red spear on his shoulder, asked Verus beside him.

The spear's three pairs of blades were exposed to the air, while the shaft was wrapped in cloth by Zuo Chi. Although Zuo Chi no longer needed to worry about being possessed by Darkin weapons, wrapping it up would at least save him a lot of trouble.

Verus stroked the longbow in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Naturally, we should continue to find Zolani and then kill her!"

Zuo Chi knew.

He shook his head helplessly: "Varus, as you can see, with our current strength, we are simply not enough to kill Zolani. Perhaps we need to strengthen our strength in some areas."

Just as Zuo Chi said, with Zolani's current strength and her blood magic, it would be extremely difficult for Zuo Chi and Varus to kill her.
