Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Amidst the deafening roar, Aatrox and Zolani retreated simultaneously.

It was at this moment that Zuo Chi and his group arrived behind Aatrox, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Aatrox's Darkin army spread out, eyeing Zolani menacingly ahead, while Nasus's gaze was fixed on the figure behind Zolani.

Zolani looked at the figures behind Aatrox, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that Nasus, Left Pond, and Rhaast would appear here, especially with Aatrox.

Her gaze swept over Zuo Chi, who was standing side by side with Aatrox, and her eyes showed a deep sense of apprehension.

The scene of almost being blown up by Zuo Chi's World Rune was still echoing in her mind, but soon, Zolani's expression became indifferent again.

Since she chose to engage Aatrox in a decisive battle on this land cursed by the Void, it proves that she is absolutely certain of victory.

This time, whether it's Aatrox or his legion, whether it's Nasus or Zuo Chi, they will all become puppets of her blood magic!

In order to end wars in the world and achieve one's own goals, sometimes it seems necessary to make deals with forbidden entities.

Aatrox and Zolani's eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly between them.

In a flash, Aatrox flapped his wings and charged straight at Zolani once more, a low growl emanating from his mouth.

"kill!"

The moment Aatrox finished speaking, Zuo Chi and the dozen or so Darkin behind him rushed forward.

Zolani also charged toward Aatrox, followed closely by the corrupted Renekton and a dozen or so Baka.

Thus, on this land where countless Ascended warriors fought, the Second Darkin War officially began!

This place was once their defense against foreign enemies, but now it is their own battlefield!

Chapter 153. War Begins! Younger Brother Kills Older Brother!

Dozens of powerful auras erupted across the land of Icathia, and rays of light of various colors shot into the sky, dispersing the purple mist above Icathia.

In the sky, Aatrox was the first to collide with Zolani.

The Darkin Greatsword and the curved chainsaw sparked dazzling flashes of light, and the whistling sound of the chains snapping through the air resembled the low growl of a giant beast.

Thousands of years later, Aatrox meets Zoranny once again, and the hatred between the two may finally be put to an end today!

One of them is a Darkin general who is followed by many Darkins, and the other is the creator of blood magic. Although she is not popular among the Darkins, her strength should not be underestimated.

The two transformed into streaks of light, colliding repeatedly in the sky. The entire sky was filled with Aatrox's crimson chains of malevolent fire. The heart on Aatrox's greatsword pounded incessantly, and the muscles on his arms bulged as he repeatedly slammed the greatsword into Zoranny's head.

Aatrox doesn't consider himself a good person. In fact, he killed many Darkin during the Darkin Wars for various reasons, but all of that was because of territorial conflicts and to protect his fellow Darkin.

Unlike Aatrox, Zoranny attempted to use blood magic to control all living beings. Many of Aatrox's followers even became Zoranny's puppets or food.

For Aatrox, who was most considerate of his subordinates, this was almost an irreconcilable enmity.

For Zoranny, Aatrox's existence was undoubtedly a huge obstacle on her path to achieving her goals. If she wanted to achieve her goals, she had to crush Aatrox under her feet!

Now, the two have gathered all the strength they can muster, having prepared for this battle for far too long.

Just as the two were colliding violently, the ground below had already turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Ten gigantic war machines, each over ten meters tall, charged into the ranks of the white-robed warriors. These Darkin warriors wielded their weapons relentlessly, reaping the lives of these blood magic creations at an terrifying speed.

Admittedly, after being transformed by Zolani's blood magic, these mortals have gained considerable power, but this power is only relative to their previous status as mortals.

Before these former ascended gods, now Darkin, their power was ultimately too weak.

The tall figure of Tiratu, the Darkin Harpist, stood amidst the chaos of the army, with Jorah, the Darkin Heavy Shield, and Naganeka, the Darkin Ballista, standing before her.

Jorah gripped his heavy shield, blocking all attacks from his front. Beside him, the giant crossbow on Naganeka's back was constantly charging, firing arrows several meters long, piercing through the enemies in its path like candied hawthorns.

Behind the two, Tiratu gently placed his hand on the harp he was holding.

"Ding~!"

The strings vibrated, and strange sound waves instantly spread across the entire battlefield. As the sound waves spread, the temperature of the entire battlefield began to rise rapidly.

"boom!"

In an instant, the accumulated fire magic soared into the sky, swallowing all the white-robed warriors around it like the gaping maw of a glutton!

Compared to the powerful individual combat capabilities of other Darkin, Tiratu's fire magic is undoubtedly more suitable for the current battlefield.

On the other side, Anaka and Tarrosh faced off against the Bakkai that Zoranny had gathered from various ancient tombs throughout Shurima.

After thousands of years of erosion, those weak Bakais have long since died out, and those that have survived are all incredibly powerful.

Although their appearance and personality have been distorted, this does not mean that their combat power will be affected. On the contrary, their fearless spirit has given them even more terrifying combat power!

If the battle on Tiratu's side was a one-sided cleanup, then the battlefield between the Darkin and Baka was a true clash of titans.

"Tarosh, I once held you in the highest esteem, but you betrayed the Shurima Empire! You are all traitors!"

During the battle, a hoarse roar came from the mouth of Tarosh's opponent.

It was a figure with a face covered in horrific tumors, a hunched back, and a swollen right arm. Although he was hidden under a cloak, the powerful aura emanating from his body still drew everyone's attention.

His name is Clement, an ancient Shuriman warrior who failed to ascend during the ascension ceremony.

In the past, he held all the Celestial Warriors in the highest esteem. He loved the Shurima Empire and its people. He dedicated everything to the Shurima Empire, and it was for this reason that he passed the test of the Order of the Sun and qualified for Ascension.

However, perhaps due to significant flaws in his personality, he ultimately failed to ascend to immortality.

He failed; the power of ascension overwhelmed his body, and he did not obtain a bright and magnificent ascension body. Instead, he became a hideous and terrifying Baka.

Despite his immense disappointment, in order not to harm the people of Shurima, he chose to seal himself away in an ancient tomb where the sun never shines.

Centuries later, he was released from that ancient tomb by Zolani and heard about the many changes that had taken place over the past few thousand years.

He couldn't imagine why the gods he once longed for had become like this, or why the generals he once respected had brought war to their own country.

Tarosh's halberd clashed heavily with Clement's swollen arm, as he hissed:

"The general and I never intended to harm the Shurima Empire; we only wanted to kill Zolani! She's the one who deserves to die!"

"You bullshit!"

Clearly, Clement had already been brainwashed by Zolani, and he had no reason to believe Tarosh's current claims.

"Lady Zoranny once said that she would create a world for us where there is no war, and that she would restore the glory of the ancient Shurima Empire!"

Listening to Clement's words, Tarosh knew that there was no point in saying anything now; what they needed to do was help the general clear away all obstacles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of booming sounds rang out, and following the previous Void War, another epic war descended upon this land.

The earth, eroded by the power of the void for thousands of years, cracked open with hideous gaps. Whether it was mountains or hills, they were all razed to the ground in this battle.

The war spread over an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and countless void creatures were attracted by the sound and rushed towards the scene.

Unfortunately, unless high-level void creatures appear, low-level void creatures pose no threat to the Darkin and Baka at this time.

Above, the battle between Aatrox and Zoranny intensified, while below, Aatrox's legion members had a very clear division of labor: some were responsible for clearing out the white-robed warriors, while the rest were responsible for blocking the Baka.

Besides the Baka who were dealt with by Tarosh and others, Zuo Chi also single-handedly faced three Baka who were wearing black cloaks.

"You possess the power of ascension, yet you associate with these Darkborn!"

Zuo Chi slowly drew his longsword from its sheath, the blade shimmering with purple stars appearing even more sacred under the glow of the ascending power.

“I possess the power of ascension, but that only means I will not harm the Shurima Empire, not that I need to go easy on Zolani.”

The divine power of ascension permeated Zuo Chi's arms, transforming his arms and half of his body into blue-gold stars. At the same time, his body began to grow taller, stopping when it reached about three meters.

Although it cannot compare to a true ascended body, it is still somewhat useful.

Without saying anything more, Zuo Chi took the initiative and charged straight at the three Bakas.

The mark between his eyebrows kept changing, and terrifying elemental magic burst forth from his body. The blade in his hand continued to slash at Bakay's head without any pause.

Although Zuo Chi was still somewhat worried about Zolani's intentions in choosing Icathia as the battlefield, it was clearly not the time to think about these things.

What he needs to do now is to get rid of these obstacles in front of him as soon as possible, and then do what he should do.

For example, fulfilling Nasus's wish!

The war continued, charred corpses lay on the ground, dark red blood seeping from them, forming streams that flowed into the earth.

Strangely, even though some of the corpses did not have deep wounds, after these people died, all their blood seeped out of their bodies and flowed into the ground.

Compared to Anaca and Tarrosh, Horaz, the Darkin Star Metal Orb, and Balkux, the Darkin Staff, are more similar to Tiratu. Their fighting style is more focused on magic than physical combat.

A metal sphere of stars, as dazzling as countless stars, hovered above Horaz's head, its blazing starlight power bursting forth from her hands, constantly colliding with Bakay opposite her.

Balkux's target for possession was the sacred tree of Bandle City. Although this would slow down his movements, he would gain an incredibly clear mind and his mental strength would leap forward.

At this moment, Balkux raised his staff high, and intricate magic circles appeared around him, protecting him from Baka's attacks while also unleashing powerful attacks on his opponent.

Based on the current situation, although Horaz and Barkux could not defeat their opponents in a short time, they would not be defeated either.

Just as their battle reached its climax, they suddenly discovered that an incredibly terrifying aura was rushing towards them.

"Roar!"

A frenzied roar echoed across the entire battlefield. Immediately afterwards, Renekton, wielding a crescent-shaped axe and surrounded by a storm of blood-red sand and gravel, broke through the crowd, aiming his axe straight for the heads of the two men.
