Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Aatrox's narration can only be regarded as a simplified version, but even the simplified version of Crisis in Runeterra is too exciting for Xin Zhao.

Whether you believe it or not, Xin Zhao needs at least some time to think and sort it out in order to fully understand what Aatrox said, and then consider whether to embrace the Black Mist and become an undead, and follow Aatrox's will to fight with that void. fighting.

What he doesn't know is that for Aatrox, this is just part of his long experience. In fact, Aatrox still has many ups and downs that he has not spoken about.

After the Battle of Icathia ended and Kalya could no longer insist on presiding over the work, Aatrox was the first group of people to voluntarily leave the empire - even in the Shurima Empire in its heyday, only three and a half people were In his eyes, apart from his loving father and strict mother and the silent and reliable Horlock, only A Zhi, who had a good relationship with everyone, was half a person.

And as Kalya could no longer resist the erosion of the will of the void and fell into a deep sleep, the only person Aatrox could still speak to in the Shurima Empire was Aori.

It's a pity that although the relationship between the two was okay, their fundamental concepts were very different. After several communications and unable to reach any consensus, Aatrox simply left with his elite direct descendants on the grounds of "expanding territory". The Shurima Empire.

After leaving the Shurima Empire and establishing a territory in the Kamavian continent, Aatrox discovered to his embarrassment that he knew nothing about governance. Although he and his legions were very good at fighting, he wanted to To make the conquered territory comply with Aatrox's will, it is not enough to be able to fight alone. The locals are not willing to change the way of life they have been familiar with for thousands of years because of a group of foreign conquerors, even if this way of life is in Aatrox. Kes seems primitive and ignorant.

Aatrox, who had no political skills at all, simply adopted a high-pressure policy. He enacted strict laws, used his legions to implement comprehensive military control, and struck hard at anyone who violated the law, but the result was not the same. As Aatrox had hoped, most of the locals changed their customs, but instead a large number of people began to flee, and the local economy collapsed.

To make matters worse, because Aatrox's warband was very capable and had no supervision after leaving Shurima, they quickly became small local lords, even against Aatrox's orders. He also began to act against the will and not take it seriously - after more than twenty years of chaotic rule, Aatrox finally despaired of his new territory where people's livelihood was poor.

At this time, Aatrox was stimulated by the Void and was on the verge of dementia. When he summoned the Legion and wanted to carry out another change, but there were very few responders, Aatrox finally went berserk.

The furious Aatrox killed the warriors who did not obey his orders. During the battle, he sadly discovered that these brave and invincible warriors who had fought with him had turned into the fat-headed appearance that he hated most.

Feeling that he could no longer control his emotions, Aatrox left the new territory he had conquered in frustration and began to wander aimlessly.

During this time, the once glorious Shurima Empire finally collapsed.

Ixtal left the empire, Weaver left the city of Shurima, Varieva gave up the empire, and the empire re-enabled slavery...

Every time Aatrox tried to inquire about the Empire, he got only bad news. Over time, he finally lost all confidence and sense of belonging to the Empire, and gradually became depressed as he was tortured by the will of the void.

Following the example of an old guy, Aatrox also made a weapon, intending to use it as a shelter for his last moments, and while he was running to build this blade, Aatrox met a man. A former colleague, Rebesay, who is also a dark descendant.

This is a character who is completely opposite to Aatrox. He is proficient in magic, likes to play with power, hates direct competition, and is more interested in the use of magic than the development of magic. It is said that he has a thin bloodline of the Shurima royal family. For this At one point, he has always been complacent and considered himself a member of the royal family.

It's a pity that neither Setaka nor Kalya has such a strong plot about blood, so among the many ascended people, Rebesai is also a marginal figure.

Aatrox has always looked down upon people like Rebesei, so even if he passed by Rebesei's territory, he had no idea of ​​meeting them - but what is surprising is that Rebesei did He proactively found Aatrox and swore on his own blood that he had found a way to restore the glory of the Shurima Empire.

Aatrox had never believed a word of what people like Rebbe Sai said, but he swore on his own blood with certainty that he said it. Aatrox finally decided to go and have a look, so he followed Rebbe Sai. Sai came to his territory.

Facts have proved that Rebesa is lying. He has not found any way to revive Shurima at all. For so many years, he has been studying a vicious blood magic, hoping to absorb the power of the same blood for himself through this spell. He used it to trick Aatrox into coming to his territory in order to use Aatrox as a material and absorb Aatrox's power.

Rebesa had a good idea and was well prepared. The only problem was that he underestimated Aatrox.

As one of the most capable dark descendants, Aatrox's magic knowledge is as unreliable as Kalya's combat talent, but his magic resistance is not weak at all, and Rebesa's carefully prepared traps were not trapped. Aatrox, when he was preparing the spell, Aatrox escaped from the trap and started the great destruction. He was holding the almost completed Darkin Demon Sword and wanted to fight him.

The anxious Rebesa could only choose to release his cannon fodder to delay time. In order to hold back the difficult Aatrox, he sent his most considerate experimental assistant and butler, who came from a certain kingdom on the Kamavian continent. Vladimir, the proton prince, took his carefully prepared puppets to resist Aatrox.

Then……

Vladimir seized the opportunity and decisively chose to backstab.

It is difficult for dark descendants to kill each other, but it doesn't matter. As an experimental assistant, Vladimir has already learned this blood magic to a certain extent - in the end, he turned back on his master and absorbed Rebesa's power. The power of the Darkin.

However, since he has not mastered the core technology, when it comes to immortality, Vladimir can only achieve limited self-innovation, and cannot be immortal like a real dark descendant.

In order to make up for this problem, he decisively began to curry favor with Aatrox, hoping that this stronger dark descendant would take him with him, but unfortunately, Aatrox had no interest in this kind of thing. After witnessing the death of Rebesa , he finally left here silently.

Aatrox, who was working hard to make the Darkin Demon Sword, soon left the devastated land under Rebesa's rule. He planned to completely seal himself after completing the creation of the weapon. Over the years, even if he is as strong as Ya Tox also felt a rare sense of despair and exhaustion.

What he saw was like a wasteland compared to the once prosperous Shurima. The proud Aatrox felt that everything he looked at was unpleasant and he couldn't stand it. The world seemed a little bleak to him.

Then, just when he heard that there was a god in Freljord who was good at forging and planned to go there to complete the final step of forging his magic sword, Aatrox, who was passing by the Immortal Fortress, felt the breath of the underworld for the first time.

When Rebesei died, Aatrox had clearly felt the deathly silence of the death of all things, but unless the darkspawn found a way to fade away immortality, there was no way to embrace death. It was rare for Aatrox to have a few Curiously, he got closer to the dead silence, and then he was shocked to discover the soul passage inside the immortal fortress, which leads to the realm of life and death.

Aatrox wanted to enter that passage and have a look.

Coincidentally, in the Immortal Bastion, Aatrox witnessed a rebellion for the second time - the Pale Lady under the tyrant Mordekaiser betrayed him, not only actively attracting the rebels, but also cutting off his soul and the present world. The relationship between the armors, Mordekaiser was banished to his realm of the dead, and taking this opportunity, Aatrox also entered the world of the dead for the first time.

Then Mordekaiser was out of luck.

According to Mordekaiser's plan, being exiled to the underworld is also part of the plan. Here he will accumulate strength and let those powerful souls become his pious and immortal warriors and mages, through whom he can conquer the physical world, conquer the spiritual world, and conquer the endless world. world!

However, his plan had just begun when Aatrox broke into the underworld and disrupted everything.

Mordekaiser has nothing to do with the immortal Aatrox, but if Aatrox leaves the underworld, he can destroy the armor that anchors him to the real world. In this case, he is forced to fight with Aatrox. An agreement was reached, each party controlled part of the underworld and harvested part of the souls.

Mordekaiser, who is committed to conquering the world, wants all souls, and Aatrox looks down on those weak guys. Since then, in addition to the kingdom of the dead, the underworld has also had a land of the undead.

Aatrox, who entered the underworld, was surprised to find that here, the erosion of the void finally stopped. It seemed that he could collect those great heroic spirits here and then complete a great revenge. But he didn't know how long he had spent in the underworld. Afterwards, Aatrox found helplessly that those extraordinary beings seemed to be more willing to accept death calmly. They would follow the God of Death to the underworld and then die naturally. In comparison, Mordekaiser wanted any soul. The form can leave three melons and two dates.

Realizing this, Aatrox began his wandering again, and this time, he made a very surprising discovery.

Several souls targeted by the God of Death have obviously been led into the underworld, but they strangely returned to the real world in the kingdom of the dead - in a sense, this is simply the resurrection of the dead!

Aatrox quickly found the place where the incident occurred. After breaking the barrier between the underworld and the real world and returning to Runeterra, he was surprised to find that he was on an archipelago at this time. The power to regain the soul comes from the magical spring on the island, the water of life on Fuguang Island.

The arrival of Aatrox brought a lot of trouble to Blessed Light Island. After the death aura from the underworld overflowed, when it fell on the water of life, it strangely formed a heart-stopping black mist. According to Aatrox's plan, Perception, being in the black mist does not seem to be much different from being in the underworld.

The residents of the Blessed Isles soon discovered Aatrox, and although a heated exchange broke out between the two sides, Aatrox eventually expelled most of the residents of the Blessed Isles and then took possession of the precious water of life.

A small number of people joined Aatrox's command.

(The residents of Blessed Island who were driven away called themselves Hylians to commemorate their lost hometown. They studied magic in order to regain their hometown. They were the first people to discover the runes of the world. In a sense It is said that the outbreak of the Rune War has a lot to do with Aatrox.)

On Blessed Light Island, Aatrox opened and strengthened the passage between the second underworld and the real world, and created black mist through the reaction of death aura and water of life, and used the black mist to identify those who could enter his eyes. The strong ones, let them enter the land of immortality to prepare for the future void expedition.

Among these undead, the guy with the strongest combat power currently is named Foyego. In order to save his wife, he found the legendary Blessed Island, but when he arrived here, his wife Isul Deke has lost the chance of rescue. In this case, he accepted the test of the undead and made a wish "hoping to resurrect his lover".

Aatrox accepted his prayer, and after Foego passed the trial, he not only reluctantly sent Isulde's soul that had not completely dissipated back to the present world, but also handed over part of the control of the Black Mist. Foyego, let him search for the scattered souls of Isulde, and at the same time bring the black mist to the Soul-Eating Night to find those souls worthy of being sent back to the land of the immortal.

Why does Black Mist "cooperate with Noxus' actions"?

That's because LeBlanc and Vladimir, two guys who knew something about Aatrox, took the risk to find Aatrox and said that "Demacia has souls worth collecting."

Previously in Bilgewater, Tahm's partner was Mordekaiser, who did not want to see Aatrox's power expand further and disrupt the balance of the underworld. Tahm used Mordekaiser's power to save Gangplank from directly attacking him. Death, thereby preventing his soul from falling into the hands of Aatrox, and becoming an assistant to his men. Mordekaiser did not believe that Aatrox was seeking revenge on the void. In his opinion, this guy clearly wanted to conquer the world, and There is no difference between myself!

But unfortunately, due to Kalya's interference, Mordekaiser's plan failed, Gangplank died at the hands of Sarah, and his soul eventually fell into the hands of Aatrox.

Unknowingly, Aatrox has been accumulating power for more than a thousand years in the immortal land of the underworld. Under his men, there are many names that even Kalya is familiar with - Yorick, Foye Ge, Thresh, Karthus, Gangplank...

Even after the Shurima Empire completely lost hope, several dark descendants who didn't know where they were going entered the Land of the Undying.

In this way, in an unknown place, Aatrox, who had been wandering all the way, finally quietly accumulated an incomparable power by chance.

Hahahaha, filled in a lot of holes!

Failed to revive, encountered betrayal, discovered the underworld, conquered Blessed Island...the more I wrote, the more I felt that Aatrox was the protagonist.

Aatrox represents the "Shadow Island Line" of the Shurima Empire. In addition, there are also the Kamavian Line and the Southern Shurima Line. The story is still very long!
