……

“The light is gone!”

“Zhang Xu, look! Riven is out!”

Zhang Xu, who was already a little sleepy from waiting, instantly perked up after hearing the call. Looking in the direction of Kaisa’s finger, Zhang Xu suddenly saw Riven walking down the stairs step by step.

only…

Riven’s appearance seemed a little different from what he had expected – Zhang Xu had thought that Riven would also look like a bunny girl after undergoing the ascension ceremony.

The result was a bit disappointing!

Zhang Xu looked at Riven, whose appearance seemed unchanged and had no animal features, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

There are no obvious features. Could it be that Riven also underwent a perfect ascension ceremony?

No…it doesn’t seem right either.

Zhang Xu noticed the changes on Riven’s face – the silver-gray hair seemed to have become much lighter, with more white than gray.

There is also a light golden mark between Riven’s eyebrows, which looks a bit like…

“It’s the symbol of the desert dragon.”

Xiweier raised her eyebrows in surprise, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

Desert dragon?

Does this thing exist in Shurima?

“Desert dragons exist in the legends of Shurima. It is said that they once fought for the Shurima Empire, but later disappeared for some reason. Perhaps they are hiding in a corner of the desert, or perhaps they have become extinct.”

“I have seen this mark before when I was leading a mercenary group to accept a commissioned mission. It is the symbol of the desert dragon.”

Listening to Xiweier’s story, Zhang Xu’s eyes gradually brightened.

so…

Riven didn’t turn into a bunny girl, but into a dragon girl?

Isn’t this better! ?

Is there such a good thing?

It’s just a pity…

This morphological feature is not very obvious, it would be better if it had a pair of dragon horns…

As soon as this thought arose in Zhang Xu’s mind, a gust of wind happened to blow by, blowing Riven’s silver-white hair apart, revealing a pair of horns on her head.

It’s like… like the pigtails on a child’s head…

It’s cute, huh?

Chapter 340 The most correct decision

“The only one left is Aatrox… This is his second Ascension Ceremony, why is it taking so long?”

Azir came to Zhang Xu’s side without knowing when, his face full of concern and worry: “Riven, who is undergoing the Ascension Ceremony for the first time, has already completed it, why hasn’t Aatrox come out yet?”

“Will something go wrong with the ceremony?”

Zhang Xu glanced at Azir and his lips twitched.

No, buddy, you were the one who started the ceremony. Now you come to ask me if there is any problem with the ceremony?

“It seems… it’s coming out!”

A voice with a slight tremor sounded, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

Under the gaze of Zhang Xu and others, the only bright beam of light in the sky disappeared, and a figure stood proudly on the sun disk, like a god, welcoming the worship of the people of Shurima.

The hideous flesh and blood on Aatrox’s body disappeared, replaced by a heavy armor that shone with a platinum luster. The exposed skin appeared dark gold, which contrasted with the platinum armor and together embellished his majestic body.

Bathed in the light of ascension, Aatrox was reborn.

That hideous sense of decadence disappeared, replaced by a sense of solemnity and sacredness.

A hint of joy was on that heroic face, and he was obviously very satisfied with his body that had ascended for the second time.

Not only his body changed, but even the heavy sword in his hand changed its appearance – the bloody giant sword lost its former murderous aura and became simple and heavy.

The heavy sword emitting a faint golden light seemed to be announcing that the former king had returned.

Aatrox stood majestically on the sun disk, bathing in the sunlight above his head. He held the greatsword in his hand and raised it high above his head:

“I am Aatrox!”

“I am the God of Shurima!”

“I am the end of the world!”

“The glory of Shurima will surely spread across the earth and illuminate every corner of the world! Anyone who dares to despise Shurima will pay the most painful price!”

As Aatrox’s unique voice began to rise, the audience burst into loud cheers.

Azir nodded with satisfaction, and most of the Ascended who had fought alongside Aatrox also showed excitement.

Zhang Xu even saw admiration in the eyes of Anakha and Stellatu.

I really didn’t expect this…

Aatrox’s Ascended Form is so cool! ?

This image… is a bit like the skin of Sword of Victory in the game, but not exactly the same – at the very least it has to be the ultimate version of Sword of Victory, and the ultimate ultimate version.

Handsome, domineering, gentle to his subordinates, powerful…

No wonder she has a bunch of little fans!

And the most important thing is…

This reliable little brother has to listen to himself!

Joining Shurima is really the best decision I have ever made in my life!

……

—-

Noxus, the Immortal Bastion.

Swain had never imagined that the so-called ancient book did not record the so-called knowledge of the undead, but a terrible curse!

Mordekaiser…

This terrible name is like a horrible curse, it will drag the entire Noxus into an endless abyss!

Swain felt that he would never be able to forget that day – when his wizard uttered that horrible name, the curse was activated.

Mordekaiser, the monarch of the underworld, attempts to return to the material realm and conquer it.

What’s even more terrifying is that he has already started to act.

Even though he himself has not appeared yet, the endless stream of undead armies alone is enough to give Swain a headache.

Today, the Immortal Fortress has become the garrison of the Undead Army, and all of this was created by him personally.

“Commander, what should we do now…”

“Although the Undead army has not made any moves recently, leaving them alone in the Immortal Fortress is not a solution!”

“There is nothing unusual inside the Immortal Bastion. Apart from the fact that the number of undead troops has increased significantly, there is no other unusual movement. We also did not see the so-called Mordekaiser.”

Listening to his subordinates’ reports, Swain’s expression became increasingly grim.

The sudden appearance of the Undead Army caught him off guard, and without any preparation, he was driven out of the Immortal Fortress. During this period, he also tried to return to the Immortal Fortress, but the number of the Undead Army was too terrifying, and even if he could go back, he could not change anything.

“Haven’t the wizards found a way to seal them back up again?”

“No…”

Swain’s confidant smiled bitterly and explained helplessly, “Those wizards said that originally, the Lord of the Underworld, Mordekaiser, could not pass through the plane and appear in the material world. But now, the boundary between the two realms has been broken, so that Mordekaiser and his army of undead can pass through the boundary at will and appear in the material world.”

“Now they don’t know how to close the boundary again.”

Swain took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.

Ultimately, this matter was caused by him alone, so he cannot blame the wizards under him.

Swain shook his hand, felt the feedback from the demon Ram, and closed his eyes.

Those close to Swain knew that whenever he showed such an expression, it meant that he was making a very important decision.

After a while, Swain opened his eyes again, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes. His expression and tone became calm at this moment:

“Send a message to Darius, asking him to temporarily put aside all matters at the Freljord border and return as soon as possible.”

“Also send someone to contact Black Rose… and Leblanc. I don’t care what shady plans she has in private, we must all gather together at a time like this!”

“The enemy this time is not Ionia, which is kind to its enemies. If we don’t handle this situation well…”

Swain didn’t say anything else, but everyone knew what he meant.

The enemy is Mordekaiser, the Lord of the Underworld who commands an army of the undead. If they fail to respond correctly, Noxus will be destroyed!

Swain raised his head and looked at the dark sky in the distance, feeling an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He tried to use Ram to spy on Mordekaiser’s secrets, but even the demon Ram could hardly see the terrifying Lord of the Underworld…

All Ram let him see was a thick fog.

This inevitably cast a shadow on Swain’s heart.

seem…

It’s going to change.

Chapter 341 Eternal Nightmare

It was not until Zhang Xu returned to Fosbyro that he knew why Aatrox chose this place to issue a rallying order to summon other Darkspawn.

This border city of Demacia is located on the southwestern edge of the Ice Mountains. Once you cross this steep mountain range, you will reach the cold Freljord. Although it is adjacent to the Freljord, the climate here is equally suitable, and most of the cold winds and cold currents are blocked by the lofty mountains.
