Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Perhaps the Twilight Protoss Maisa had long been aware of the battle between Tarosh and Zolani, and had been hiding in the shadows waiting for the two to fight to the death.

Just as the battle between Tarosh and Zoranny was coming to an end, and just when Tarosh was about to win, Maisa appeared.

On that day, Tarosh witnessed a shooting star flying towards him from the distant horizon. That streak of light that pierced the night became his eternal nightmare for thousands of years.

Tarosh was just a hair's breadth away from winning, but unfortunately, that tiny inch proved to be an insurmountable barrier.

He and Zolani were both sealed into Maisa's weapon and then disappeared into obscurity.

Not only did he refuse to offer Zolani's dog head to his general, but he was also imprisoned in a dark and hopeless cell for it.

Maisa is just like Thresh from the Shadow Isles; she always appears at strange times and makes a significant contribution to the history of Runeterra.

Now, thousands of years later, Tarosh once again sensed the general's call. He used his last bit of strength to lure the elemental dragon to him, and in doing so, he was reborn.

This time, Tarrosh is determined to take back everything he has lost!

Supporting his body with his strong hind legs, Tarosh spread his arms wide, greedily breathing in the scorching air of Shurima.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Tarosh could clearly sense that there were too many familiar auras on the continent of Shurima.

General Aatrox, the Darkin Greatsword; Stellato, the Darkin Harp; Varus, the Darkin Longbow; Zoranne, the Darkin Chainsaw.

Despite the chaotic presence of Zoranny, with at least a dozen distinct auras, Tarosh was determined to find her and continue the battle that had been raging for thousands of years.

This time, surely no Protoss will cause trouble!

With a flap of its enormous dragon wings, Tarosh soared into the sky, heading straight for the first location where Zoranny's aura was present.

Soon, a tomb several meters high appeared in front of Tarosh. Tarosh was already preparing to continue to the next place, but at this moment, Tarosh's body suddenly trembled violently.

Because right behind that tomb, Tarosh saw the figure he had hated for thousands of years!

"Zolani!"

Tarosh didn't even think about why Zolani was there, with an expression that said, "I've been waiting for you."

He swooped down from the sky toward Zolani, the massive halberd in his hand glowing with a dazzling crimson light.

In an instant, a violent collision of energy erupted in the Shurima desert, with two figures colliding repeatedly, one above the other.

Just like thousands of years ago, Tarosh used his ability to fly to launch attacks on Zorani from all directions, while Zorani struggled to defend herself.

After another collision, Zorani's body was sent flying backward, while Tarosh flapped his wings and hovered in mid-air:

"Zorani, you've lived for thousands of years, and you haven't improved at all! You couldn't beat me back then, and you still can't now!"

Below, Zoranny holds a curved chainsaw, looking up at Tarosh in the sky.

"Tarosh, did you appear in Shurima to fight me, or to see Aatrox?"

Tarosh looked at Zolani with an expression as if she were an idiot: "Isn't that obvious!"

"Of course, I'll kill you first, you coward, and then present your head to the general as a greeting gift!"

As expected.

Even after so much time has passed, Aatrox's followers remain loyal to him.

Looking at Tarosh before her, and then thinking of Anaca before her, as well as the many Darkin who followed Aatrox, Zoranny knew very well that with her current forces, there was no way she could contend with Aatrox.

No matter how many followers she has, they are ultimately like weeds in front of the Darkin, who can fight an entire army single-handedly.

Thinking about this, Zolani's thoughts became even more active.

Of course, she would never admit defeat to Aatrox. She would do everything she could to bridge the gap between herself and Aatrox's army, and finally crush Aatrox's pride!

She needs Charikal, she needs more help!

Zolani's ability to rise from a lowly military medic to where she is today speaks volumes about her character and resourcefulness.

Seeing Tarosh's eyes narrow slightly, Zoranny said softly, "Tarosh, I am the one who will go all the way to the end. You've chosen the wrong side."

In the sky, Tarosh shook his head impatiently: "Is it that your soul has possessed your body, but your brain is still sealed inside the weapon?"

"Your prized blood magic can't even touch me. What else do you have? Whether it's strength or skill, what makes you think you can defeat me!"

Tarosh no longer wanted to waste words with Zolani; he only wanted to kill her as soon as possible and then go find his general.

Having not seen Aatrox for thousands of years, Tarosh missed him dearly.

Once again, Tarrosh swooped down, continuing to use his aerial advantage to launch attacks on Zoranny.

In this way, he could both avoid the interference of Zolani's blood magic and slowly wear Zolani down.

Although this method of fighting is somewhat underhanded, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit, and history is always written by the victors.

As long as he can kill Zolani, who cares about the process?

In the future, when people talk about it, they will only say: General Tarrosh fought Zoranny fiercely in the Shurima desert and killed her in three rounds.

"boom!"

Another collision, and Tarrosh slashed a gruesome gash across Zolani's arm.

Just as Tarosh excitedly returned to the sky, preparing to mock Zoranny once again, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Below, Zolani's body trembled violently. The wound that Tarosh had just inflicted on her had healed, and at the same time, a chilling tearing sound began to emanate from her body.

"Click! Click! Click!"

Zolani's back was completely torn apart, and at the same time, a pair of wings made entirely of white bones slowly grew out.

At that moment, Zolani's eerie and low voice resounded throughout the entire world.

"Tarosh, didn't you say that my strength hasn't increased at all over thousands of years? Then I'll show you just how much I've improved. And I'm sure you recognize where these wings on my body come from!"

As they spoke, the pair of bony wings were fully formed, with layers of thin membranes distributed between the bones, providing assistance for takeoff.

In the sky, Tarosh looked at Zolani's wings, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

“These are Anakha’s wings, what have you done to him!” Tarrosh roared.

When asked about Tarosh's question, Zolani simply sneered, "You'll find out soon enough."

"boom!"

The moment she finished speaking, Zolani flapped her wings and soared into the sky, her blood magic reaching its peak as she charged straight at Tarosh.

This is the most abnormal ability of Zolane that Varus once mentioned to Zuo Chi.

She can devour and grow without limit, and gain some of the abilities of those she devours.

Given time, no one knows just how powerful she will become.

In the sky, Zoranny clashed once again with the shocked Tarosh.

After losing his greatest asset, Tarrosh's original advantage began to disappear rapidly, and he gradually showed signs of weakness in battle.

Finally, Zoranny's blood magic transformed into countless ferocious hands, gripping various parts of Tarosh's body, and this blood energy began to rapidly seep into his body.

With Anaca snatched away by Zuo Chi, Tarosh will be Zolani's only bargaining chip against Aatrox, and Tarosh can also provide her with great assistance based on her own strength.

Soon after, two figures fell from the sky. The light in Tarosh's eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by countless fine blood vessels.

He stood respectfully behind Zolani, his massive body posing no threat to her whatsoever.

Tarosh could never have imagined that Zolani would be able to devour his fellow disciple Anaca and gain his most prized ability, flight.

It can only be said that both he and Anaka came with the intention of killing Zolani for the general, but in the end they both became a burden to the general.

Zolani looked at Tarosh beside her, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Zoranny and Tarosh flew straight north to Shurima.

"It's time to take Charikar under our control!"

-

Bergüen, a coastal city on the northern edge of the Shurima continent, is known for its thriving black market and mammoth wool.

Due to the invasion by the Noxian Empire on the northern continent of Valoran, Belgun is no longer part of the Shurima Empire, but is now one of Noxus's colonies on the Shurima continent.

This is why Bergün can be described as extremely chaotic.

Because of the thriving black market, the city became a gathering place for mercenaries, bandits, and treasure hunters.

In order to venture deep into the Shurima desert in search of lost tombs, some treasure hunters often hire mercenaries in this city to help them.

Among all the mercenaries in Bergün, the mercenary group led by Sivir was renowned and very popular among treasure hunters.

Not long ago, a woman from Noxus named Cassiopeia hired Sivir's mercenary group to venture deep into the Shurima desert. After that, Sivir disappeared for a long time.

When she returned, only Sivir remained in the entire mercenary group, and her whereabouts became increasingly unpredictable.

Today, as always, Sivir was idly wandering around the city of Bergün.

Sivir casually placed a small item back on the stall and was about to continue walking when she suddenly found a figure over two meters tall standing in front of her.

Furthermore, Sivir could clearly sense that when this figure appeared, the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians were filled with a deep sense of apprehension.

Ascended God—Nasus!

How did you know I was here?

Sivir was very resistant to the sudden appearance of Nasus.

Nasus looked at Sivir in front of him with a complicated expression, and for a moment he also had a headache.
