Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

The next instant, Zuo Chiqian's body suddenly stopped, his right hand swept across his lower back, grasped the Ascended Short Sword in his hand, and then stabbed it backward!

Within the black mist so close at hand, a figure wielding a long-handled horse-slaying sword, a combination of human body and warhorse, appeared before Zuo Chi!

"when!"

The short sword in Zuo Chi's hand collided with the horse-slaying saber in the figure's hand, and Zuo Chi's body was propelled backward by the force.

At this moment, Zuo Chi also clearly saw the presence of the vanguard of Soul Eater Night.

Shadow of War, Hecarim!

Behind Hecarim were dozens of figures whose forms were remarkably similar to his.

This was none other than a knightly legion composed of undead centaurs!

These figures followed behind Hecarim, their eyes, burning with blue flames, fixed on the Left Pond on the sea.

And with the gradual recommendation of Soul Eater Night, they are getting closer and closer to Zuo Chi.

"The living, the dead!"

Hecarim's voice was hoarse and suppressed as he raised his front hooves high and swung his long sword straight at Zuo Chi's head.

As an undead imprisoned forever by the curse of black mist and ruin, Hecarim harbors endless hatred for all living beings.

When Zuo Chi faced Hecarim's attack, his ascending power swirled around the short sword in his hand, clashing once again with Hecarim's horse-slaying sword.

After each collision, Zuo Chi would use Hecarim's power to retreat rapidly.

Zuo Chi knew very well that once he got entangled in a fight with Hecarim, it would mean that he would be completely enveloped by the black mist.

Once enveloped by the black mist, he will face the entire undead army of the Shadow Isles!

Moreover, Hecarim is not the only top-tier undead in this shadow!

If you are surrounded by a large number of undead, you will likely be worn down and die.

Therefore, Zuo Chi could only retreat while searching for a way to escape the black mist.

"when!"

Another metallic clang rang out, and Zuo Chi retreated rapidly backward.

But this time, Zuo Chi's gaze suddenly changed!

Opposite him, the blue flames in Hecarim's eye sockets grew even more intense, and the dozens of undead that were originally behind him also gathered behind him, staring at Zuo Chi menacingly!

Having not killed any living beings in front of him for a long time, Hecarim no longer wanted to waste any more time, as he needed to save time to slaughter even more living beings!

Hecarim raised his forelegs high once more, while his longsword pointed straight at Zuochi!

The next instant, Hecarim and the dozens of undead cavalrymen behind him charged toward the direction of Zuochi.

In life, Hecarim was the leader of a knightly order, and even now, as a ghost, he has never forgotten the most terrifying abilities of cavalry.

Under the charge of those dozens of cavalrymen, any living being could only be mercilessly crushed!

As Zuo Chi watched the undead centaur legion rapidly approaching him, he gripped his short sword tightly, channeling all the power of ascension within him into it.

Despite having already expended a great deal of his ascension power to speed up his journey, Zuo Chi still couldn't hold back at this moment.

Hiding your strength in front of the Soul Eater will likely lead to the same fate as Hecarim before you—becoming a cursed undead forever!

At one point, a wave appeared on the sea surface and made a 'splash' sound.

It was at this moment that Zuo Chi suddenly swung the short knife in his hand forward.

The ascending power gathered on the short sword erupted instantly, transforming into a golden wave of light that spread towards Hecarim's Knights.

"Buzz! Boom!"

In the pitch-black night sky, the power of ascension clashed with Hecarim's undead knight's charge.

In the blinding light, Hecarim and his knights were almost instantly engulfed, while Zuo Chi's body was pushed beneath the sea by the explosion.

The fiery and radiant power of ascension seems to have an innate and strong restraining effect on the void and the undead.

Under Zuo Chi's full-force attack, the black mist of the Soul-Eating Night was actually forced to stop.

Amidst the dense wails of the dead, Zuo Chi, nearly completely exhausted, sank deep beneath the surface of the sea.

As the light receded into the distance, Zuo Chi could only watch his body gradually sink, drifting further and further away from the sea.

At that moment, Zuo Chi heard the sound of seawater being cut, and then several cyan-green streaks rose from the abyss and wrapped around Zuo Chi above.

Chapter 26 Nagakapolos' Trial!

"!!!"

Watching the tentacles rise from the shadows and get closer and closer, Zuo Chi used all his strength to turn his body in the seawater and struggled to swim upwards.

Zuo Chi didn't know what these blue tentacles represented, but his will to survive prevented him from succumbing to despair!

If these tentacles originated from a monster in the deep sea, given his current state of near-exhaustion of ascension power, he would find it very difficult to contend with them.

In the endless deep sea, there was not a single ray of light around Zuo Chi, only the sound of the huge tentacles cutting through the water echoing continuously.

The sea surface was now completely covered by the Soul-Eating Night, and countless hungry undead were waiting for Zuo Chi to emerge from the sea.

Beneath the sea surface, the enormous hand, brimming with a rich life force, was getting closer and closer to Zuo Chi, almost about to touch his legs.

Sensing everything around him, Zuo Chi clenched his fists tightly, and the Ascended Dagger in his right hand trembled incessantly.

What's the solution to this situation? It's almost certainly a losing proposition!

But Zuo Chi was absolutely unwilling to die here like this!

With one hand tightly gripping the Ascended Dagger, an incredibly rich, mixed yellow light began to shine from Zuo Chi's left hand.

He abruptly turned around in the seawater, facing the tentacles that shimmered with a faint blue light. Then, ancient and mysterious rock magic poured out from Zuo Chi's hands.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire sea began to churn violently, and endless roars echoed from the deep sea.

Under the guidance of Zuo Chi, several incredibly thick stone pillars rose from the seabed, piercing straight towards those blue hands!

"Snapped!"

Seemingly in response to Zuo Chi's attack, the thick tentacles lashed heavily in the seawater, making the already violently churning water even more turbulent.

In Zuo Chi's perception, the stone pillars he summoned collided violently with the tentacles!

"boom!"

In an instant, Zuo Chi felt as if his connection with those stone pillars had completely disappeared, but the emerald green light emitted by those tentacles was even more intense than before!

The enormous stone pillar, several meters in diameter, was completely shattered the moment it touched the tentacles!

When Zuo Chi realized this, his heart sank to the bottom.

By this point, how could he not know who the owner of these tentacles was!

After all, who else in the entire Bilgewater region possesses such power?

Nagakabolos!

Zuo Chi knew that Nagakapolus had come to avenge her followers because of his previous attack on Nautilus.

The stone pillar was shattered, and the dust made the entire sea incredibly murky. Even though Zuo Chi tried his best to open his eyes wide, he still couldn't see anything around him.

In this oppressive and deathly silence, several tentacles shimmering with eerie light pierced through the murky seawater, instantly binding Zuo Chi's body tightly!

At this moment, Zuo Chi felt an unimaginably powerful force binding his body, rendering him unable to move an inch.

Zuo Chi even had a feeling that the power of these tentacles was even more terrifying than Aatrox, whom he had seen in Shurima!

A suffocating force assaulted the body from all sides, while the blue light on the giant tentacles began to flicker continuously.

Under the illumination of this blue light, Zuo Chi felt that his perception of the surrounding things had become extremely blurred, and even his mind began to become unclear.

In his hazy consciousness, Zuo Chi felt those tentacles constantly trying to pull him into the depths of the endless abyss and leave him in the sea forever.

A seductive voice kept echoing in his ears, urging Zuo Chi to abandon his fearless resistance and follow Nagakapolos to enjoy eternal peace.

At this moment, Zuo Chi is undergoing a dual challenge, both physically and mentally.

Just as Zuo Chi slowly closed his eyes, and even the resistance his body showed gradually stopped, the tentacles seemed to receive some kind of guidance and began to drag Zuo Chi into the deep sea.

However, just as those tentacles had descended a short distance, Zuo Chi, who was surrounded by them, suddenly opened his eyes!

In the next instant, Zuo Chi seemed to transform into a blazing sun, and an incomparably hot ascension power burst forth from his body once again, while countless stone pillars on the seabed shot towards him!

Just as Zuo Chi's desperate resistance was heard, the tentacles suddenly stopped and then began to tighten their binding force.

What Zuo Chi didn't know was that beneath the murky middle layer of seawater, a huge shadow hundreds of meters long was rapidly rising!

The figure resembled an enormous octopus, with five huge eyes on its massive head and countless enormous, emerald-green tentacles below it!

The Soul-Eating Night continues above the sea, while beneath the surface, a trial for Zuo Chi is quietly unfolding.

On the other side, outside the Bilgewater harbor.

With the arrival of the Night of the Soul, all the fishing boats in Piraeus have docked, and the entire coastline has become eerily quiet.

However, it was precisely at this extremely dangerous moment that a group of people dressed in strange clothes arrived here.
