Void Beetle Evolution Guide

Ahri needs to reduce the use of magic, the Wild Hunt will not let her go to the battlefield. And Taliyah can't exert her strength on the ice lake, so she continues to stay on the island for defense.

"...Black Ice Queen, do you know this guy? Ashe." On the way, Kaisa did not forget to ask Ashe about the other party's origins.

"No, never heard of it. Dragons are rare in the Freljord."

"How can a dragon claim to be king?" Ashe's answer reminded Kaisa of something, and she couldn't help but mutter.

"Hmph." Feeling that she was being implied, Saifei crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

The ice dragon in front of her had an army under her command, but she had no one under her command. Logically, this fellow was more like a queen than she was.

The three of them went straight to Portil, and only when they got closer did the Wild Hunt realize that Portil was not a white dragon, but her body was covered with white hair, making her look as white as snow.

So far, the dragons that the Wild Hunt has seen are all very different in their own characteristics, and their body shapes seem to change dramatically as they adapt to the environment.

The hair on Portier's chest and back is long, and the hair on her limbs is short and dense, showing the outline of her gnarled muscles. The tail behind her is like a wolf's tail, which makes her look like a huge white wolf wearing a fur vest from a distance. But those parts that are not covered by fur show hard black scales.

Her neck was covered with neatly arranged plate-like dragon scales, like a black snake's belly, and powerful magical energy flowed through the gaps in the scales, emitting an icy blue cold light. Her limbs were like eagle claws, and the purple hooks scratched the ice surface with scars.

The dragon horns are spiral and curved, showing a gradient from purple to ice blue, like frozen thunder, which is very gorgeous compared to the flat dragon horns like the wings of Saifei. There are two pairs of such dragon horns, growing on the upper and lower edges of the eyes, decorating the cold dragon pupils like eyeshadow.

Finally, there were her wings, the membranes of which were spread out, bluer than the icy sea. The Wild Hunt could even sense Sephy's jealousy, because that was something she had never had.

"I am Ashe, the Warmother of Avarosa." Ashe raised her head and looked directly into Portier's eyes. Her voice was clear and powerful: "Ice Dragon, I have no grudge against you. Why did you invade Rakstak?"

Botier lowered her head, her huge dragon eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was sizing up the human leader in front of her. Her voice was low and full of majesty: "You can ask Lissandra yourself. I only know that if you don't come with me today, these frost slaves will flatten Rakstak."

"Frost slaves? Kaisa, take a closer look at those trolls."

The Wild Hunt had Kai'Sa put on a helmet, and then used her enhanced vision to look at the group of trolls gathering on the other side of the lake.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Although these monsters have the body of trolls, drastic changes have taken place inside their bodies.

The troll's huge and ugly nose was gone, fused with both eyes, and turned into a huge blue eye, deeply embedded above the mouth. The messy hair turned white and swayed in the wind. Huge ice horns grew on both sides of the frozen crown, and fangs as long as horns protruded outwards. The dark purple skin was pierced with black ice crystals, and the energy of the void was flowing in the blood vessels.

Author's words: I felt unwell when I was halfway through writing yesterday, so I am getting up now to finish the chapter. The second chapter will be updated later.

Chapter 236: Battle of Ice Lake

=================================

"What are those?"

There was a hint of shock and disgust in Kasa's voice. Through her enhanced vision, she stared at the strange trolls on the other side of the lake.

She originally thought that the enemy was just a group of ordinary trolls, but there were more of them. But at this moment, she could clearly see the void energy flowing in the bodies of those trolls, which made her feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

She had never seen such a creature before - a combination of the troll and the void, as if two completely unrelated existences were forcibly blended together to form a twisted and terrifying monster.

The huge single eye emitted a cold light, as if it could see through everything, while their fangs and icy horns looked even more hideous and terrifying.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lissandra who used black ice to transform these trolls... Black ice is the true ice contaminated by the void." Wild Hunt said cautiously.

"Damn it, has Lissandra's brain also been corrupted by the Void? She even tried to control the power of the Void. Isn't the lesson from the Watcher enough?" Kai'Sa cursed, frowning deeply. "Also, if she lets the Void creatures walk openly on the ice and snow like this, the consequences will be disastrous if they lose control. Can Lissandra bear it?"

"What are you afraid of?" Saifei stood aside with her arms folded across her chest, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "They are just a few corrupted trolls. No matter how powerful they are, they can't compete with real dragons."

Kaisa shook her head, with a hint of warning in her tone: "Don't underestimate them. You haven't faced the Void yet. Its power is far more bizarre and dangerous than you think."

Just as Saifei was about to say something, there was a deafening "whoosh" sound and a cold wind mixed with snow and frost suddenly blew over, forcing her to close her eyes, mouth and nose tightly, forcing her to retract her words.

"Humans, has no one taught you not to whisper under the eyes of a giant dragon?" The ice dragon Botier lowered his head and moved his huge dragon head in front of the few people to take a closer look, his cold eyes roaming around. "Why do I smell the breath of a kindred spirit? And you, where does the void power on your body come from?"

"It seems that you are just an errand boy for Lissandra. She didn't tell you anything. If you knew how powerful I am, would you dare to put your head so close to me?" Facing the huge mouth that could swallow her in one bite, and the cold breath that kept overflowing from the glowing throat, Kaisa responded fearlessly.

"A human being who has been eroded by the void dares to speak nonsense here? Then I'll take you back with me." Portier blew out a frozen breath, then raised his head, his eyes became narrow and terrifying because he squinted.

"We will not go back with you." Ashe's voice echoed over the frozen lake, firm and powerful. "The truth that Lissandra tried so hard to hide will not disappear forever because of her lies. The future of Freljord should not be built on deception and darkness."

"Very well, I will not waste my words. I have given you the opportunity to make peace, but you foolishly chose war in the end." Portier let out a low roar, the impatience in his voice as piercing as ice: "If you go against the dragon, I will let you see the real cruelty!"

"Hey, who said you're the only dragon?" Saifei couldn't find the opportunity to interrupt, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Portier's roar covered her voice.

With a roar, Portier opened his huge dragon mouth and blew a stream of cold breath towards the three people. Countless ice crystals condensed in the air instantly, as if even time was frozen.

In an instant, Kai'Sa operated her skin armor to the extreme. Purple arcs of electricity leapt between the heat-dissipating leg armor that popped open. At the same time, dense spikes grew on the soles of her feet to grip the smooth ice surface. She picked up Ashe, who had no time to dodge, and retreated out of the range of the dragon's breath.

However, because she had no time to react, Sephy was swept by the icy breath and was frozen into a vivid ice sculpture, standing on the lake covered with ice spikes. But as Portier raised his claws and slashed down, a big hole was instantly smashed through the hard ice layer that had not melted for many years, and Sephy fell into the lake along with countless pieces of ice.

"Oh no, Saifei..." After being put down by Kaisa, Ashe happened to see Saifei turning into an ice sculpture and falling into the water, and her heart was suddenly filled with infinite worry.

"Don't worry, she won't die. The water is that guy's home turf, you just need to take care of yourself." After giving the instructions, Kassadin took the initiative to fight with the ice dragon.

Seeing that she said so, Ashe could only focus on the frost slaves in the distance. After hearing Portier's roar, these monsters stepped onto the frozen lake and rushed towards the city wall.Mei I have no words for you, I have no words for you...

The battle horn has sounded, the roar of the dragon and the war cry of the Freljord warriors are intertwined, officially opening the prelude to the Battle of the Ice Lake.

Portier breathed out cold dragon breath while flapping her wings and flying high. Her flying skills were perfect, her body was flexible in the air, as if she had merged with the wind and snow, and in the blink of an eye she had occupied the commanding heights of the sky. Her wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and the blizzard she stirred up plunged the entire Laxtak into a white chaos.

"I am the Queen of Black Ice and the Lord of the Ice Prison. Tiny humans, your lives will be frozen at this moment!!" Portier's voice echoed in the air like thunder, full of majesty and threat.

After reaching a certain height, she suddenly turned around, with a clear purpose, and swooped down towards the city wall where the Avarosan warriors were stationed. A cold light burst out from her throat, as if to freeze everything in her path. The cold breath was like a huge pillar of frost, approaching the city wall.

"Everyone, prepare to attack!" Ashe ordered loudly, with a hint of urgency in her voice. She quickly drew the ice bow to its full length, and a shining arrow pointed directly at Portier.

The arrow accurately hit the giant dragon flying at high speed, but the next moment the dragon broke through the exploding ice fog unscathed. There was not even a trace of freezing on its hair, and it danced wildly in the wind and snow like a streamline.

If it was Noxus's dragon-hunting crossbow, it might pose a threat to her, but Ashe had Avarosa's ice bow. How could she break through the defense of a frost dragon with maximum ice resistance?

At the critical moment, Taliyah used the torrent of rocks to form a dome, covering Ashe and the soldiers defending the city. Portier's breath sprayed on the rock shell, and the rapidly growing ice crystals instantly turned the turtle shell into a hedgehog. The biting cold came through the rock shell, causing Taliyah to tremble all over, and her lungs felt as if they were frosted.

Seeing this, Ashe could only let the warriors continue to hide under the rock dome. They had no fog that could pose a threat to the dragon, and Taliyah had no way to deal with aerial targets. In this situation, daring to fight back would be tantamount to suicide.

Portier flew over the city wall, continuing to breathe out icy breath.

The rock dome couldn't cover so many people, and if no one stopped her, she would soon turn Laxtak into a living hell.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye a flying figure rushing towards her, and it seemed as if it was going to crash with her.

Botier's pupils shrank, and before she could see what it was, the other party hit her in the side of her face. The powerful impact made her head tilt as if she was hit by a big fight, and her frost breath was also stopped by the impact.

Chapter 237: Kassa in the Sky

===================================

"boom--!"

A dull crash sounded in the air, and Portier's head was suddenly tilted by the powerful impact, as if she had been slapped hard. Her frost breath was interrupted, and the cold breath stopped abruptly in the air, turning into a scattered ice crystal.

Portier let out an angry roar, and her huge dragon wings flapped violently in the air, trying to stabilize her body. Her dragon eyes, burning with anger, quickly locked onto the figure that was rushing towards her, but she never thought that the other party was "right in front of her".

The figure did not distance itself after the collision, but instead clung to the white hair above her eyelids, stepped on the dragon horns under her eyelids, and stopped in front of her at an arm's length away in a rock climbing posture.

At such a close distance, Portier could see every detail of the other person. The void skin armor covering his entire body, with swollen muscles, made him look like a humanoid dragon beast. A pair of wide dragon wings stretched out from behind, with patterns on the wing membranes in the shape of lightning, flowing with pure void energy.

This figure was naturally Kaisa. She had never used her wings before, but she had to use them when she saw Portier flying towards the city wall. She even took off with the help of the Wild Hunt, so she didn't perform well on the spot and bumped into Portier's head.

Fortunately, the skin armor's ability to withstand impacts was very strong in the assault mode, so even if it was hit, it was no big deal, and it landed directly on Portier's eyelids.

"How dare you--!" There was a hint of incredible anger in Portier's voice.

She had never thought that someone would dare to interrupt her attack in such a rude way, and dare to stand so close to her eyes, facing the symbol of strength, wisdom and majesty. Wasn't the other party afraid of the anger in her eyes?

Kasa remained silent, her eyes beneath the helmet cold and sharp. Void energy condensed into a sharp blade in her hand, pointing directly at Portier's vertical pupil.

"Roar!" There was a hint of fear in Portier's roar. The proud dragon regarded humans as ants. But when the ants rushed straight to their eyes, they would also be afraid of being blinded.

She subconsciously closed her eyes and shook her head violently, while flapping her wings, turning around and spiraling into the sky, trying to use centrifugal force to tear Kassa off her body.

This flick really shook Kassa off her eyelids. But she didn't intend to blind Portier's eyes, she just wanted to scare her.

There were still a large number of frost slaves on the ground waiting for her to deal with. This dragon was a good target for using the Queen's Order. Since she had decided to control Portier to counterattack the slaves, there was no need to blind her eyes.

"Don't your eyelashes hurt?" She steadied herself in the air, looked down at the bunch of broken white hair in her hand, and couldn't help but complain.

"If a giant cockroach lay on your eye, you would jump in fright, too," said the Wild Hunt.

"You are the cockroach!"

Kassa retorted angrily, let go of the hair and let it fall, her eyes quickly locked onto the giant dragon soaring in the sky.Mei Youyou is not here, I don't have time to sing, Lin Youyou is not here......

Now is not the time to argue. The most urgent task is to deal with this dragon first and never let the demon slaves cross the ice lake.

She flew towards Portier at full speed. By now the Ice Dragon had recovered from its shock. It was hanging high in the sky and saw Kassa flying towards it so fearlessly. It immediately dived towards her, accumulating a terrible cold light in its throat.

"Human, I was attacked by you just now because I wasn't paying attention. Now that I've noticed you, it's too much of a fantasy to think you can do the same thing again! If I don't trample you under my feet today, I'm not called Portier!"

Seeing the ice dragon swooping down, Kassa also realized that something was wrong. She was used to bickering with Saifei, and she didn't think the dragon was a dragon, which led to her making a wrong judgment.

But now he was on the battlefield, and watching the ice dragon fold its wings and dive down, its huge body carrying a huge momentum, he suddenly felt some pressure.

Even if the Assault Form had incredible brute force, it was impossible to make up for the huge size difference. In addition, the opponent was diving down with the help of gravity, which naturally gave Kaisa an advantage over the one who was flying upwards against gravity.

If we ignore these factors and try to confront the dragon head-on with our mortal bodies, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Kassa had very little time to think, and she instinctively turned around to avoid the attack, but the breath of the ice dragon had already fallen from the sky. She subconsciously wrapped her body with her wings, and the wings blocked the icy breath for her, and she instantly turned into a stiff ice sculpture.

Seeing this, the Wild Hunter decisively abandoned his wings and severed the connection points when the frost spread to his skin armor. Kassadin, who had lost the ability to fly, fell from the sky.

Fortunately, the Wild Hunt made a decisive decision. Before Kassadin fell to the ground, a new pair of wings grew behind her skin armor. Although the bones did not have time to harden, the continuous flapping of the wings was enough to buffer the impact to an acceptable level.

Kassadin adjusted his body and landed heavily on his feet, bending his knees to transfer the impact force to his feet, creating radial cracks on the ice surface.

"Your flying is just a poor imitation of the dragon clan. Even a newly hatched dragon can fly better than you." A sarcastic voice sounded overhead.

Portil flew over the icy lake, stirring up a biting cold wind. Looking at the giant dragon soaring in the sky, Kassa was troubled.

In the brief confrontation just now, she had already realized that her flying ability was far inferior to that of the dragon. She could still burst out with her legs on the ground at a speed far exceeding that of flying, but in the air, even if she tried her best, she could not catch up with Portier.

Moreover, the wings were not flexible enough, and each time they turned, they had to go around in a big circle. Just now, she was hit by the breath because she did not have time to turn, which was a little unacceptable to her.

"I always feel that flying is not as enjoyable as being on the ground. Is there any way to get her to come down and fight with me?"

"It's impossible for the dragon to give up its air superiority and fight you on the ground, especially since it now regards you as a thorn in its side. It's even more impossible for it to be as arrogant as before." The Wild Hunt comforted her.

"Is there no other way?" For Kaisa, the upper limit of the wings is not high. If she continues to fight in air combat, which she is not good at, it will be difficult for her to gain any advantage from Portier.

The Wild Hunt thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Kasha, do you still remember Dranofar?"

"I remember, isn't it the one with the devil's horns that summoned dragons? Why are you suddenly mentioning her?" That was the first dragon that Kassadin saw in Shurima, and she remembered it very clearly.

"What do you think of her wings?"

"It's just like that... they're all dragons, so what's the difference?"

"Of course. Dranofar's wings are similar to insect wings, which may be more suitable for skin armor."

"I think we can give it a try!" The Wild Hunt made Kai'Sa excited. She was very familiar with insects. For example, flying backwards and hovering, the performance of dragons was far less flexible than that of insects.

"Then you better hide yourself during this time."

The Wild Hunter told Kai'Sa to be careful, and immediately tried to evolve the elytra on the spot. With the dragon's wings as a foundation, it shouldn't be difficult to make it.

He felt that the shape of the Void Skin Armor was similar to that of the Zerg, and perhaps using the Zerg's own elytra in combination with the skin armor would achieve a better flying effect than the wings of a dragon.

To find out the reason, we should know that dragons fly with the help of magic. They use magic to reduce air resistance or increase resistance to gravity. Otherwise, the thin wing membrane is not enough to support the huge weight.

If the skin armor simply imitates but cannot reproduce the assistance of magic, relying only on brute force to flap the wings will make flying very difficult.

Birds use wings instead of magic to fly because their bones are light and they know how to take advantage of rising air currents, which allows them to soar into the sky.

Under the same conditions, humans would need a larger wingspan to support their weight in order to fly because of their high bone density. But if they really grew wings that big, they would also have to grow well-developed pectoral muscles to match.

You have to know that in the species that are good at flying, the weight of the chest muscles alone accounts for a quarter of the body weight. If a person grows so many chest muscles, the whole person's body shape will become very strange.

Although the existence of skin armor itself is unscientific, if the Wild Hunt wants to successfully evolve the elytra of insects, it must refer to scientific laws, because this will make it easier to succeed.

The Wild Hunt first forces Kai'Sa to return to a more flexible and easy-to-use erosion form, then dissolves the troublesome shoulder pods to make room for the wings to evolve.

Chapter 238: On-the-spot Evolution, Embracing Elytra

====

Without her arsenal, Kassadin's pressure against the Ice Dragon increased again. Now she could hardly launch an effective counterattack against Portier, and could only focus all her energy on dodging.

Obviously, Portier did not miss the opportunity to "kick the dog when it's down". She circled in the air, her huge wings stirred up a gust of wind, and then suddenly dived down, spewing cold dragon breath from her mouth.

The dragon's breath swept towards Kassadin like a pillar of frost. Wherever it passed, even the air was frozen into ice crystals.
