Void Beetle Evolution Guide

They could only see her afterimage without losing their heads, not to mention that their eyes were on their inflexible chests and abdomens, and their rigid vision made it impossible for them to track Kassadin's footsteps.

However, the slave demons that had lost their heads seemed to have been freed from certain restrictions. They no longer followed the rules discovered by the Wild Hunt, and the single eye that bulged in their chests shot out even more terrifying disintegration rays.

In an instant, dozens of disintegration rays intertwined into a net, forcing Kassadin to escape into the void. On the other hand, not only did they fail to hit Kassadin, but they were also swept by the rays created by each other, and their bodies collapsed and dissolved.

No matter who it was, the moment they were exposed to the radiation, the parts of their bodies that were hit melted like wax. The high-temperature melting flesh and blood emitted charred smoke and turned into a pool of strange, bloody liquid that was like a paste, and the surface reflected the luster of the fetal membrane.

In order to give someone a taste of their own medicine, Kassa tried to have Portil use his dragon's breath to affect these slave demons but failed. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in making them kill each other in another way.

However, she did not dare to stay in the pile of slave demons any longer. The power of the disintegration rays was too strong. If she was even slightly touched, she would be evaporated.

On the other side, because Portier was paying attention to Kassa's situation, he didn't notice that the threat under the ice was quietly approaching.

There was a hint of contempt and ridicule in her eyes, as if she had already seen the end of Kassadin being torn to pieces by the group of slave demons.

"boom--!"

There was a deafening roar, as if the heaven and earth were shaking at this moment.

The ice layer of the ice lake was completely torn apart from bottom to top, like a volcanic eruption. The broken ice blocks were thrown hundreds of meters into the air, and even the wind and snow stopped for a moment.

The huge body of the sea dragon rose into the sky from the bottom of the lake. Her figure was like a moving mountain, her scales flashing with a deep blue light, and her huge mouth full of fangs opened wide, so that not even light could escape.

Portier's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was instantly filled with endless fear. Her body swayed slightly in the air, and she obviously had not expected this sudden change.

Before she could distance herself, the huge mouth of the abyss suddenly closed around her, plunging her entire world into darkness and silence.

In front of a thousand-meter-long giant sea dragon, she is just a slightly larger ant.

After Sephy bit Portier, the stagnant time continued to flow.

The lake water poured down from Saifei like a waterfall, stirring up huge waves. The huge waves formed spread along the ice surface, overflowed the ice field and rushed towards the mountains in the distance.

The Avarosa warriors on the city wall were stunned. They had never seen such a grand scene.

Saifei's body covered the sky like a legendary demigod. After digesting the initial shock, everyone thought that it was a demigod who punished the evil ice dragon, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

“Don’t eat it, don’t eat it!” Compared to the Avarosans who were cheering, the Wild Hunt kept shouting in Sephy’s mind: “This guy has black ice on his body. You’ll get a stomachache if you eat it!”

Upon hearing that, Saifei narrowed her eyes into a line and the scales on her forehead wrinkled slightly.

She just bit Portier's body, and the pair of wings were still exposed and flapped violently. However, as long as she exerted a little force, the arrogant ice dragon would be torn into pieces in an instant.

Seeing Saifei's obviously dissatisfied expression, the Wild Hunter persuaded again: "This is your trophy, I won't touch you. But if you don't want to roll on the ground with a stomachache after eating it, and you can't even maintain your human form, then bear with it."

Hearing this, Sephy reluctantly spit out Portier, who landed on the ice with a liquid that was either lake water or saliva. Just as he was about to flap his wings and fly away, Sephy pinned him down with one claw, unable to move.

"Arrogant ice dragon, now tell me, who is the Queen of Dragons?!" She lowered her head and looked down at Portier with a majestic gaze. The huge head made the latter tremble all over. He found it difficult to understand why dragons could grow so huge.

"Okay, now that you've transformed back into your original form, help us deal with these slave demons. We've been waiting for you to clean up the battlefield." Wild Hunter urged.

He did not take care of both, and Kassadin is not out of danger yet.

Chapter 241 Prisoners of War

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

The words of the Wild Hunt made Sefi feel that she was still very reliable. She grunted and turned her gaze away from Portil at her feet, and looked at the one-eyed slave demon not far away with her dark blue vertical pupils as big as the moon.

"Saifei, give them a bath with your breath, and then I'll have Ashe shoot an arrow to freeze them." The Wild Hunt ordered.

He sent a message to Taliyah who was beside Ashe, asking the War Mother to charge up her strongest arrow and prepare for cooperation in advance.

These slave demons have strong vitality. If they are not killed, they may mutate into some filthy appearance. It is safer to freeze them.

The ice dragon Potil can command these slave demons. Whoever controls her is equivalent to controlling these slave demons.

Saifei's huge mouth suddenly opened, a faint blue light appeared in the depths of her throat, and she expanded her lungs to the limit. The breath accumulated in her body like a storm, and every surge of air brought a strong sense of oppression.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar erupted from Saifei's throat, and along with the roar, a torrent of magic mixed with countless water knives gushed out from her huge mouth, sweeping across the demon army in front like a huge wave.

At the same time, an ice arrow whistling with terrible cold air shot from the direction of the city wall, far exceeding the range limit of ordinary bows and arrows. Even the air condensed into white ice crystals wherever it passed.

Ashe put her faith in victory into this arrow, bringing the power of Avarosa's bow to its fullest. The ice arrow shot straight into the huge waves, and the ancient elemental power contained in it produced a magical chemical reaction with the sea dragon's breath, causing the temperature to drop by dozens of degrees.

The cold air spread at an explosive speed, and in the blink of an eye it caught up with the huge wave that was still advancing, freezing the fearless slave demon army in this frozen tide. It also spread to the sea dragon's mouth. Seeing this, Saifei stopped breathing in time, otherwise she would also be stuffed with ice.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of the ice dragon flapping its wings and struggling and roaring. After a while, a huge roar sounded from the other side of the ice wave.

Kassadin's figure appeared from mid-air. The Wild Hunt's advance warning allowed her to avoid the combo, otherwise she would have become one of the thousands of statues.

She crossed the wave and let her elytra fall off, sliding down the smooth slope of the icy wave, finally coming to a stop in front of Sephy.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable." Kasa looked up and said to Saifei.

She had only seen Sephy's true form from afar in Bilgewater, when half of her body was submerged in the sea water of Blood Harbor and she was launching a massive cleansing of the Slaughterhouse Docks. She could feel the oppressive feeling across several hills.

Now that she had a closer look, the mountain-like sense of oppression became more concrete, and even she had to be thankful that this guy was a teammate and not an enemy.

Saifei narrowed her eyes in confusion and leaned closer with the glowing tentacles. The huge size difference and the distance of hundreds of meters made it impossible for her to hear what Kasa said. She could only hear the whisper of a mosquito.

By the time she lowered her head, Kassa had already turned around to check the sealing status of the demon army.

She walked on the ice, looking at the slave demons frozen under her feet. There were many bubbles in the ice, forming white air that blocked the rays, and she could only vaguely see the slave demons' fangs and claws.Mei, what about me? I have no time. No Lin has time...

These monsters had no idea what fear was. They were still waving their arms until the moment they were frozen, their single blue eye staring straight ahead, their undying hunger revealing the ice.

It's not like Kai'Sa has never seen a troll before. Although those trolls all have gray skin and red hair, in general, each troll is very recognizable, and there is basically no face blindness. Even if Trundle is placed among 500 trolls, she will not make a mistake.

But these frost slaves seemed to be carved from the same mold. Each of them was almost the same size. After their facial features merged into a single eye, they almost lost their individual appearance characteristics. They could only be distinguished by the shapes of black ice protruding from their skin and flesh.

However, there is no point in doing so. After being eroded by black ice, these trolls have lost their self-awareness and cannot act as independent individuals. They are no different from the insects crawling underground in Shurima.

Kai'Sa squatted down and touched, then pressed, and the Wild Hunt estimated the time by the touch transmitted back.

"The snow in Freljord will last throughout the long winter, and the temperature should not fluctuate significantly during this period. This ice layer should be able to trap the slave demon army for two or three days, but we still need someone to keep an eye on it and report any unusual movements immediately."

"Didn't we say before that we should control Portil to command them?" Kassa asked puzzledly.

"Yeah, but we can't make Portier our own. With the black ice, you can't easily convert it unless you go through an iceborn..."

The Wild Hunt's words made Kaisa look towards the city wall, and from afar she saw Ashe running over in the wind and snow to check the situation.

"What's going on? Is everyone okay?" Ashe asked breathlessly after getting closer.

"It's okay. We are thinking about how to deal with these prisoners." To correct, what Kaisa is thinking about now is how to make Ashe accept the existence of the Wild Hunt. This is the only Iceborn she trusts at the moment, and she has not considered anyone else for the time being.

"Uh, why? Can't they be executed on the spot?" After seeing the horror of these slave demons from afar, Ashe, who was broad-minded, could not think of taking them under her command and reforming them.

"No, these guys are hard to kill. Even if they are sunk into the lake, they will crawl out sooner or later. The best way is to let them go back to where they came from, but that requires the ice dragon to obey first, so that we can have a chance to command the slave demons."

"Is that so? Then let's go talk to the Ice Dragon first."

So, several people came to Portier again.

The unfortunate ice dragon was still struggling hard under the claws of the sea dragon which was countless times bigger than her. If it weren't for the webbed feet between the sea dragon's claws which dispersed some of the pressure, she would have been trampled to pieces by now.

Seeing several people approaching, Portier flapped her wings even harder, causing gusts of wind, and ice chips and snowflakes flying in the air, trying to fight for her last bit of dignity.

“How dare a few insignificant humans laugh at my joke! When the great Black Ice Queen returns to her lair, I will surely—”

"Noisy!"

Sefi suddenly tightened her front paws, and Portier's roar instantly turned into a scream of pain. The teeth-grinding groaning of bones pierced everyone's mind like steel needles, and echoed endlessly on the silent ice field.

When she was too tired to scream, Ashe took a few steps forward, looked at the suppressed ice dragon and spoke.

"Ice Dragon, I know you are also working for Lissandra. We don't want to be your enemy. Take these slave demons back and swear by the dignity of a dragon that you will never commit the same crime again. Then we can consider letting you go."

"Impossible! Lissandra has issued a death order. This time, you must be brought back to Frostguard Fortress." Portier gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Things have turned out like this because of you. If you had agreed to go with me earlier, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Ashe frowned deeply at Portier's accusation. She was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

Then, she took a deep breath and said in a calm and resolute tone: "I can go with you, but you must swear in the name of the three sisters... no, in the name of the gods of Freljord! Agree to my previous conditions, otherwise there is no need to talk!"

"Okay." Portier agreed without any pressure, with a cunning look in his eyes.

Saifei keenly caught this hint of abnormality, and immediately became furious, and increased her crushing force again. Under her mountain-like pressure, the ice layer under the ice dragon could not bear the weight, and instantly exploded with hideous cracks, as if the earth was groaning in pain.

"What's good about that! Did I ever say I'd let you go?!"

"You wingless pseudo-dragon, you'd better not give me a chance..." Portier squeezed out these words with difficulty under heavy pressure.

"Can you say that again?!"

Saifei was furious. Not being able to fly had always been a pain point for her. This time, she directly pressed down the ice dragon's head. Portier closed his eyes in pain and was about to be unable to breathe.

Chapter 242 Black Ice

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

"Ashe, why did you agree to that ice dragon? We are clearly the winners of this war." Kaisa approached Ashe, and was somewhat puzzled and unwilling to her answer.

"No, the victory belongs to you. It has nothing to do with the Avarosa tribe..." Ashe shook her head slowly, her tone quite heavy: "In this war that should have belonged to Avarosa, I hardly contributed anything. It was entirely thanks to you that we defeated the powerful ice dragon and the slave demon army."

"But you will be leaving Rakstak soon. Without you, I will be powerless to resist Lissandra's army. Maybe she won't have the patience to give me a chance to choose next time. So, it is better to follow the ice dragon this time and exchange my life for the peace of the Avarosa tribe." Ashe's voice was low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the deep well of her heart, full of helplessness and sadness.

Kai'Sa listened quietly, and understood Ashe's difficulties in her heart. Lissandra had been operating in the north for thousands of years, and its power was already deeply rooted and unfathomable. Ashe, as a leader of the new generation, led a group of mortals to compete with Lissandra, which was simply a foolish dream.

However, the Avarosa tribe cannot live without its Warmother. If Ashe leaves and never returns, the largest tribe in Freljord will inevitably fall into civil strife and fall apart. And Ashe's ideal transformation and development will also be brought back to its original form by the cruel reality.

Kasa thought of this, lowered her head slightly, and asked softly: "Wild Hunt... Can we adjust the order of the trip, go to Frostguard Fortress first, and then return to find Hearthland?"

"You want to escort Ash back safely, right?"

"Yeah." Kai'Sa didn't deny it. She felt that if Ashe went with them, she wouldn't be powerless in front of Lissandra.

"I just need to tell Ali. Her condition is under control so far, so she shouldn't need this little bit of time."

"Then thank you very much. Please also thank Ahri for me."

After discussing with the Wild Hunt, Kai'Sa came to Ashe again and said seriously: "In fact, we can go together. We originally planned to talk to Lissandra."

"Really? You don't have to go to this extent to help me." A glimmer of hope flashed in Ashe's eyes, but with a bit of disbelief.

"It's absolutely true. But before that, we need you to cooperate with us."

"Cooperating with what?"

Kassa didn't answer, but under Ashe's gaze, she went straight to the top of Portil's head, conjured up a pair of pliers and pulled a scale off her head.

"Ahhh! Damn ant, I'm going to kill you!!"

Portier, who had been exhausted and silent, roared madly again. The pain was like being stabbed by thousands of needles. But compared to the physical pain, the humiliation of being treated like an ant burned her heart like a raging fire, making her almost crazy.

Seeing this, Saifei's lips curled up in a playful arc. She kindly helped the ice dragon to vent his anger and pressed the latter's head into the lake.

The unbearable curses were instantly drowned out by the lake water and turned into a series of gurgling bubbles rising up, and the anger soon subsided.

No one cared about Portier's miserable condition. Although he was a prisoner, he did not have the intuition of a prisoner. He kept talking stubbornly and making harsh remarks. He deserved this.

You have to know that Saifei is a ruthless character who dares to eat even her own kind, and she will not be spoiled just because she is a noble dragon.

"Ashe, feel this thing and feel the difference between it and True Ice." Kassadin quickly handed the Black Scale to Ashe. The pliers in her hand were almost completely frozen.

Whether it is Zhenbing or Black Ice, there is an inexplicable conductivity.

Even electric current can be isolated by rubber products, but Zhenbing is a strange thing. If there is no direct or indirect contact, the hand will not freeze even if it is put very close.

But as long as there is any intention to touch it, even if you poke it with a one-meter-long wooden stick, its life-killing power will be quickly transmitted along the medium.

Iceborn can also feel cold and pain, but their blood will not freeze. As long as they endure the pain, they can use True Ice, and Ashe has long been accustomed to this.

"This should be black ice. The icy feeling it gives is almost the same as True Ice... maybe even a little weaker." As soon as Ashe took the scale, she immediately noticed something strange.

Compared to the pure, clear and cold ice, this black ice is dark in color and as restrained as an ordinary stone that is slightly transparent. It looks inconspicuous at first glance.

Looking closely, there are some black silk threads scattered inside the black ice, slightly thicker than a hair, winding freely inside.

Ash became curious and put his eyes close to it, trying to figure out whether these black lines were structures similar to blood vessels or other unknown substances.

At the moment when she was concentrating on observing, those black lines were like living things. They first squirmed slightly, and then suddenly expanded, as if they were eagerly transporting something deadly.

In the blink of an eye, a black line suddenly pierced out from the ice and pierced straight into Ash's fingertips.

Ashe screamed subconsciously, threw away the black ice and instinctively shrank back, her eyes full of shock and vigilance.

Kai'Sa on the side was also shocked by this sudden change. He quickly gathered around, staring at Ashe's bleeding fingertips and the strange black ice.

"The things in here are actually alive!" Ashe said in shock, "I've never heard of an Iceborn who can hold onto True Ice forever, and as for something that can survive in True Ice... I dare not even think about it."

"Sorry, I didn't expect that either." Kaisa gritted her teeth and wondered what on earth Lissandra had done.
