Void Beetle Evolution Guide

“Then let’s fight somewhere else.” Portil immediately changed his tune, and with a spin, he threw the two of them off.

Katarina, who couldn't fly, continued to fight Kayle in the air for a while before she had to use Flash to create distance before falling. Having just broken out of the courier's encirclement, she immediately had to face Kayle's relentless pursuit and attack, drawing all the hatred she had.

"You guys fight, I'll just laze around and slack off. The venue's too small this time," Sephie waved her hand, looking like she couldn't be bothered to participate. Nami, standing nearby, shuddered. Laying around is fine, but why touch her?

The intensity of this battle doesn't seem particularly high; her presence or absence wouldn't affect the outcome. If she were to reveal her true form and fall from such a height, even a dragon would be shattered to pieces.

“Give me some time to renovate the venue, and you’ll soon be able to show your skills too,” Kai’Sa replied.

"what are you up to?"

"Of course we need to make the area bigger, otherwise the enemies will be flying in the sky, and we won't have any footholds when the fighting starts."

Sephiroth watched her curiously, only to see Kaisa grip the green rune tightly, and then a surge of life force burst forth.

The altar beneath their feet trembled violently, thick roots bursting forth from the hard rock like a wave of wood engulfing the stone peaks. The bursting trees, while ravaging the celestial army, grew diagonally upwards, soon reaching the amethyst megalithic array in mid-air, twisting and entwining themselves around the megaliths as they grew into towering trees.

The arrival of the giant tree significantly expanded the area, allowing the group to climb its branches and fight their enemies. It was deeply rooted in the rock, and even when Sephiroth himself was perched on it, it could steadily support its immense weight.

More importantly, one of the giant stone slabs that originally rotated around the mountaintop had become tightly wrapped around and used to support the trees. Unable to rotate, it naturally lost its effectiveness. Syndra's giant avatar immediately pulled the other two giant stone slabs out of the track and smashed them down on the head of the Guardian of the Peak like bricks.

With a deafening crash, the stone slab and the giant statue's head shattered completely from the impact. Tons of amethyst rained down from the sky, directly or indirectly flattening many celestial creations, before tumbling down the near-vertical slope into the sea of ​​clouds below, eventually crashing into the mountains.

The group of people were unaffected because they were standing next to Syndra. The force field she created captured the huge fragments in the air and then launched them all out.

Kai'Sa's Resolve rune still cannot be used directly on celestial beings, while Syndra has no need to use runes, as her own power is already strong enough.

Otherwise, extreme destruction could destroy the entire mountain, and it wouldn't be impossible to simply push Mount Targon down.

But what good would that do? Raising the sea level by ten centimeters out of thin air would be enough to cause a huge disaster.

Once the arena was set up, Kai'Sa was ready to officially enter the battle, but before setting off, she didn't forget to ask one question.

"By the way, Sephie, didn't you say you were summoned by the summit? Why are you silent now that you're up here?"

Chapter 629 The Battle of the Peak

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because we haven’t been tested yet.” Sephiroth looked at the crystal giant that was resisting the incarnation of Syndra. “To be honest, I’d rather none of this happened.”

Kasha narrowed her eyes slightly; it was normal for Sephiroth to think that way. It was best not to introduce any more variables into a battle where the outcome was already decided.

"You figure it out yourself," Kai'Sa said before hastily joining the battle.

She ran along the tree trunk, where many celestial messengers were perched on the thickest root of the giant tree. These headless armored figures were hacking at the weakest points of the branches, trying to free the crystal slab from the tree's grasp.

Seeing that Kasha had come to the tree branch alone, they immediately brandished their weapons and rushed up, blocking her way to the branch.

Using the Precision Foundation Stone would be better at this point, as that yellow rune governs all post-natal creations.

Whether it's experience gained later or any creation made by human hands, it's all within its overall scope, and it's exceptionally effective at dealing with such celestial creations.

Without the Wild Hunt, no one can afford the consequences of runes going out of control. So it's best to just push through honestly. It's a bit more troublesome, but it's more stable and reliable.

Clearing a path wasn't difficult; Kai'Sa only needed to accelerate and sprint forward, and the shockwave generated by the compressed air would be enough to push these grunts off the branches.

However, that won't kill them. If you want to completely eliminate them, you'll need to put in a lot more effort.

Just then, the enemies lined up in a row. Kai'Sa bent down, aimed her pod forward, gathered all the heat, and released it as plasma.

Two plasma missiles, trailing a ghastly purple light, spiraled forward, tearing apart all enemies in their path. Their armor was melted by the hellish heat, and their soulless shells oozed vile pus.

Kaisa arrived at the branch with near-instantaneous speed, and the Rinpoche Arbiter, whom she was using as a backdrop, suddenly shot out a dazzling beam of light from his staff.

Caught off guard, Syndra was struck, her mind went blank as if weighed down, and her eyes went blind in the white light.

She shook her head violently, as if trying to shake something out of her mind. The witch's gigantic avatar also shook and howled, wildly swinging its claws.

The Wild Hunt's blindfold training had some effect; Syndra used her senses to lock onto the Arbiter of the Peak. Countless dark orbs appeared in the sky, hurtling towards the giant like falling stars.

The crystal giant used starlight to resist her rage. Constellations appeared on the spherical shield, firmly resisting the giant claw's blows. The magical torrent composed of magic orbs disappeared without a ripple, as if they had been transported to the boundless starry sky.

At the same time, Portil happened to fly by and unfortunately got trapped inside the shield. He crashed headfirst into the shield and fell down, breaking his neck in the process!

Seeing that the ice dragon had stopped moving, the giant temporarily ignored it and instead went to reinforce the starlight barrier to defend against Syndra's relentless bombardment.

The tightening armor forcibly straightened the broken neck, and after a spasm, the ice dragon suddenly opened its vertical pupils, shook its head, and got up again.

Upon realizing she was trapped within the protective aura of the Arbitrator of the Peak, she immediately tried various methods to break free, but none could penetrate the transparent starlight shield. (The last two lines appear to be random characters and are left untranslated.)

This thing was a bit eerie; a chill ran down her spine. As Portil turned to look at the Arbiter of the Peak, the Crystal Giant had already thrust the sharp end of its staff at her, seemingly intending to finish her off before her shield was broken from the outside.

Just before the hilt pierced her body, the ice dragon took flight, summoning the Ice Spine Greatsword to charge at the headless giant. However, the sturdiness of the Peak Arbiter's crystal body exceeded her expectations; after several fruitless swings, she was instead struck by the giant.

Seeing the large hand reaching out towards him, Portil gave no chance, tearing open a gap and appearing outside the barrier before being captured.

She landed on a branch, turned around and noticed that Kasha was looking at her, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"That guy... he's a bit tough to crack..."

"Just leave it to Syndra."

Syndra's rage is building up; it's only a matter of time before she takes down the Arbiter of the Peak.

As they were speaking, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and the tree branch they were on snapped instantly from the lightning strike, flames and thick smoke billowing from the charred wound.

Startled, Portyl took flight, while Kai'Sa slid down the sloping branches, accelerating her run while locking onto Kayle, who was locked in fierce combat with Katarina on the altar.

The two were surrounded by the celestial army. Katarina not only had to face the burning blades of the angels, but also had to be constantly aware of the soldiers around her who might launch an attack at any moment.

This kind of challenge was more fun for her, and her enjoyment of the battle made even Kai'Sa reluctant to interrupt her.

Chaotic and disordered sounds kept invading her mind, along with Zolani's hateful roars, but Katarina still maintained her sharp mind.

Think quickly, act even faster! Plan before you engage, and rely entirely on your intuition when you strike.

The angel pointed the sword at her, its feet not moving, yet it transformed into a phantom and charged forward. Katarina temporarily dodged the attack, then drew a throwing knife and hurled it.

The blade swept across the top of their heads, severing a vine from which the crystal was hanging. The falling crystal crashed down on the group of soldiers behind them.

Two dented headless armors lay on the altar, shattered crystal fragments tumbling everywhere, and countless figures reflected on the smooth mirror surface.

Katarina rushed to the nearest messenger and plunged the dagger into a gap in his armor, extinguishing the flame that had replaced his brain on the messenger's neck.

Kyle attacked again, swinging his sword. Katarina pushed the corpse in her hand toward the angel, then her daggers flew into the air, plunging a pair of daggers vertically into Katarina's shoulders.

The angel groaned in pain, and Katarina took the opportunity to perform a backflip and kick her away. Then, she instantly jumped behind her, crouched down and swept her leg, while simultaneously spinning and throwing her throwing knife, which then unleashed a Death Lotus.

The surrounding soldiers fell one after another, and Kyle also bent his knees and fell backward, landing on a sharp piece of crystal.

Immediately following was a very crisp and pleasant sound of flesh being pierced, followed by the sound of water being choked; at this moment, her lungs were filled with blood.

Katarina reached into the pool of blood that appeared out of nowhere and took out a pair of blood-red scythes. She twirled them in her hands, intending to use the Darkin weapons to end her life and let Zorannie taste her blood.

A huge shadow descended at that moment, and Katarina looked up to see an ever-growing foot above her.

The Arbiter of the Peaks slammed its foot down, leaving a pool of blood beneath it. Then, as it lifted its leg, the blood pooled back together, from which a scarlet figure slowly emerged.

Chapter 630 Crushing

Fresh blood dripped down, and the blood shadow in the pool once again coalesced into the shape of Katarina.

She has undergone a transformation; almost no one can kill her unless she chooses to. Conversely, if she wants to kill someone, that person will find it very difficult to escape her blade.

Katarina could have grown to gigantic size to withstand the attack from the Rising Peak Arbiter, but she didn't want to touch the soles of his feet; it disgusted her.

The final, decisive blow was abruptly interrupted; Kayle had already risen from the ground. The sharp crystal piercing her lung hadn't taken her life. She shouted that justice would never die and continued her charge, but Kai'Sa was already prepared to personally shatter her false vows.

Kaisa approached quickly from behind. As long as she was fast enough that no one could react, she didn't need to conceal her movements like a clumsy assassin.

However, just as she was about to defeat Kayle, the six-winged angel who was engaged in a fierce battle with Katarina suddenly pointed the Sword of Judgment to the sky, and was bathed in a pillar of fire that fell from the sky.

The terrifying waves of flame forced Kai'Sa and Katarina back, but their hideous wounds and bloodstained wings were completely healed under the cleansing of the sacred fire.

Kyle turned and pointed his sharp longsword at the thwarted Kai'Sa, his silver armor gleaming a brilliant gold in the firelight.

“I’ve been watching you all along, and you won’t succeed today.”

"If my mission was to kill you, do you think you'd still be alive and kicking by now?"

Kai'Sa spoke in a nonchalant tone, saying that capturing a Protoss alive might be slightly more difficult than killing one, but she still couldn't figure out why she had failed.

She dispersed the pods, switched to floating cannon mode, and scattered them around to deal with the gradually closing in celestial soldiers. Then, she drew the other half of the Sword of Judgment from the insect hive, and dark purple spiral synapses burst forth from her palm, intertwining and hardening in the air, enchanting the sword as if by magic.

The flesh and bones of the living body merged completely with the blade of justice, and the pulsating black veins stained the blade with a gradient of ink, spreading waves of fear.

"Filthy and vile being! Die!" Seeing her mother's sword defiled and profaned, Kyle was consumed by rage and thrust forward. Kasha, unskilled in swordsmanship, deflected the attack with a clumsy, effortless swing, her demonic sword trembling with excitement.

"The Holy Fire will cleanse you!" Kyle unleashed a wave of flames, the scorching flames of the sinner rolling in. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding air to refract due to uneven density, making it look as if space itself was being distorted.

The living blade in Kai'Sa's hand emitted a piercing mental shriek, like the wailing of a banshee. The invisible sound waves spread out, and the flames immediately dissipated under the shock of fear. Kayle, on the other hand, frowned in pain.

Easily breaking through Kayle's offensive, Kai'Sa still had the energy to control the floating cannons, switching the ammunition type to the rarely used sticky poison bullets, and firing them at the giant's protective barrier in the field.

Concentrated liquid void energy clung to the starlight shield, corroding the unshakeable barrier. Though it was only a tiny gap, it marked the beginning of the Rising Peak Arbiter's defeat.

"What are you looking at?!" Enraged, Kyle realized that Kai'Sa wasn't even paying attention to him. He transformed into a whirlwind and rose into the air, then descended from the sky wielding his sword. "Judgment!"

A phantom of a giant sword appeared above Kai'Sa's head, like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, crashing down, but hundreds of times larger.

The surging holy light distorted space, uprooting the tree's roots. Kai'Sa tore open the rift the instant she was struck, and now she emerged unscathed.

If Wild Hunt were here, he would realize that this is Garen's signature move, but in reality, as a sorcerer, he cannot unleash this ultimate skill.

Clearly, this should be the power of the Angel of Justice, and it couldn't possibly be inherited from blood.

The Angel Sisters have no offspring. Their only connection is that the Crownguard family's treasury contains a rare copy of a hymn to the Winged Guardian God, suggesting that their ancestors may have been devotees of Kyle hundreds of years ago.

Kaisa didn't say anything, but through the narrow three-eyed helmet, Kyle seemed to hear her saying to him, "Bring it on."

She launched another fierce attack, spreading her wings and flapping them powerfully before closing them again to form a spiral. The flames on her sword transformed into a blazing storm with the vortex.

Kayle's target was the mage wielding a sword, while Kai'Sa was a monster born from stacked stats. She charged forward with her sword, breaking the sound barrier three times its normal speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in her wake.

As the saying goes, brute force can overcome all techniques. When speed reaches its limit, even a casual swing of the sword can stir up wind and thunder. The armor itself collects kinetic energy and heat, which is then transferred out through the flesh-enchanted weapon in the hand. Even a casual sword strike is beyond what Kyle can withstand.

Swords clashed and roared, figures crisscrossed, lightning pierced through the whirlwind of flames, and feathers fluttered in the air.

The angel of justice was abruptly forced back, her wings, harder than metal, were sliced ​​off by Kai'Sa's Wind Slash and Lightning Strike. Morgana had dreamed of escaping her cursed wings, a dream that Kai'Sa had unintentionally fulfilled.

Kyle clutched her shoulder and scrambled to her feet; the sword had been so fast she hadn't even felt the pain. But looking at her wing, severed cleanly at the root, she was utterly shocked.

That was a defense comparable to a sturdy shield, something even her own sword couldn't cut through, yet Kai'Sa cleaved it in two with a single strike. Although only a piece was lost, her form was never whole again.

Kasha switched the trembling magic sword to her other hand and shook her arm. The attack had left her arm sore and swollen, and there were still some side effects.

Meanwhile, good news also came from Syndra's side. Silent wails washed over everyone's minds as Syndra's gigantic avatar tore through the protective shield of the Peak Arbiter.

The defeated crystal giant faced the witch's terror head-on, even the brilliant starlight was obscured by endless darkness. Under her pressure, the giant collapsed to his knees, his knees shattering into a crystal avalanche that swept everything away, causing the altar on the mountaintop to tremble violently.

Nami and her group escaped the calamity by hiding behind the giant tree created by Kai'Sa. The celestial creatures near the ground were swept away and then destroyed one by one by the grinding and crushing of the crystals. Amethyst showers rained down again from Mount Targon, a devastating blow to the inhabitants living at its foot. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated text.)

The Arbiter of the Peak was reduced to half a body, headless, and it was truly remarkable that he had managed to endure so long under Syndra's attacks. Kayle, meanwhile, was buried beneath the rubble and her whereabouts remained unknown.

The giant still intends to put up a last stand; its mission is to protect the sacred peak.

It hurled its staff into the sky, and moments later, starlight pierced the darkness, forming a massive magic circle. With a deafening roar, the magic circle unleashed countless dazzling beams of light, indiscriminately attacking everything on the altar.

Chapter 631 Syndra's Advice

The magic circle sealed off the sky, revealing the trajectories of celestial bodies and tearing open Syndra's dark veil. The stars raged, their merciless light washing over the earth.

Dense beams of light began to bombard everything indiscriminately, with the witch's gigantic avatar bearing the brunt. Her darkness enveloped the summit of Mount Targon, attempting to control the heavens with her own hand.

The light pierced the darkness, and the witch's avatar was riddled with holes under the bombardment. She raised her arms but could not stop it in the slightest, and was pecked and disintegrated under the judgment of the supreme heaven.

Then came the Rinpoche Arbiter, whose only remaining body was the upper half. His crystal-carved body shattered into dust under the bombardment of light, a killing move that would destroy everything in its path.

Under the indiscriminate attack, hundreds and thousands of celestial soldiers died every second. The merciless light even caused the resilient giant tree created by Kai'Sa with runes to sway precariously, and even the allies hiding behind the tree trunks became extremely vulnerable.

There wasn't enough time to reinforce with runes, so Kai'Sa decisively used Time Warp to accelerate time and extend a helping hand to her teammates who were in danger.

The world slowed down, and Kai'Sa moved effortlessly between the dense rain of lasers and the rolling crystal boulders, as if Quicksilver's tune was playing in her ears.

Time suddenly became much more plentiful, and she even had time to appreciate this magnificent moment of destruction. The starlight array in the sky bombarded the earth at a frequency of over a hundred times per second, and the dazzling white beams of light illuminated the rolling remains of the giants scattered on the ground. The smooth surface of the crystal reflected the light, creating a maze of reflections of itself.

Running around here, it's easy to lose your way. Kasha leaped dozens of meters up a tree and ran wildly along the trunk. Along the way, she extinguished the life candles on the necks of several celestial messengers, and gently pushed a six-legged dragon from outer space into the spot illuminated by the light. Once the flow of time returned to normal, it was blasted into dust and exploded into a dazzling firework.

Kaisa is rarely forced to use time magic; the feeling of being the only one awake in a world of drunks is easy to linger in. However, the turbulent river of time will throw all those who try to struggle beyond its banks. After witnessing Zilean's eternal solitude, Kaisa tries her best to avoid the fate of exile.

She came to the Wild Hunt's retinue, reached out and touched them, then pushed them one by one into the passage and stuffed them into the void rift to escape this annihilation.

Kaisa has gone to great lengths for the team, but she can't relax yet because the Ice Dragon is still flying in the sky, posing the greatest threat. Portil is the most hardworking person among them besides her, and she can't let her down.

Kaisa sprinted up the tree trunk without stopping, then tore through the void to appear behind Portil. A sudden, excruciating pain shot through her mind; even she couldn't withstand the strain of opening rifts repeatedly under the accelerated time.

Time resumed its flow, and a startled roar came from the ice dragon's mouth. The beam of light nearly grazed her wing membrane, and the hum of energy made Portil's bones tremble.

"Quick, hide in the void rift!" Kai'Sa shouted, grabbing the ice dragon's horn.
