The Glory of Noxus

The night was dark and starry.

Bilgewater, a port city that was bustling with people during the day, fell into endless silence, surrounded by the overwhelming black fog.

The busy scene near the slaughter dock disappeared completely.

Only the surging darkness and the occasional shrill wailing were left.

In the alleys, the candlelight had long been extinguished, and the sobbing sea breeze and the occasional green light brushed past the windows.

The cliffs of the dark river became the hardest hit area by the black fog.

Many Bilgewater people who did not have time to avoid it lost their breath of life under the erosion of the black fog and lay quietly on the cold ground.

Their faces were extremely pale, leaving endless silence and despair.

In such a devastated scene, most of Bilgewater was completely integrated into the black fog.

Even with the totem of Nagakabouros, it was just to avoid the arrival of ghosts and spirits.

As for the wealthy areas in the upper city, except for some buildings dedicated to idols, their situation is not much different.

Therefore, in the current dangerous situation, the taverns in the lower city are like night pearls in the dark night, attracting attention.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Suddenly, waves of strange and shrill roars came from the thick black fog.

These sounds pierced into the hearts of Yosip and the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Corps like sharp blades, making their faces solemn and nervous.

In the dark vision, endless fog and shadows gathered together, like waves coming towards them.

Groups of dark green light mixed in the black fog, swaying like candlelight, slowly approaching.

Looking at the strange scene in front of them, Yosip and the soldiers of the Reiser Garrison Corps felt inexplicable fear.

They vaguely saw that something was coming from the depths of the black fog, causing the fog to tremble like a spasm.

Looking closely, the so-called candlelight was clearly composed of ghosts and spirits.

"Be careful!"

Drizzt spoke in a deep voice, the cards in his hand danced at his fingertips, and waves of magical energy surrounded him.

In the past few Soul-Eating Nights, he relied on his own abilities to survive safely, and had a certain understanding of the monsters in the black fog.

"These monsters are very difficult to deal with, and ordinary means may not be able to deal with them."

Puff!

Before Drizzt finished speaking,

countless ghosts emerged from the black fog around the tavern.

Their faces were twisted and hideous, and their eyes flashed with dark green light, as if they were carrying endless resentment and curses.

After the dark bodies were stained with black fog, they became somewhat solid, outlining some ancient patterns.

When the ghosts surrounded the tavern, making weird laughter and crying, it made people's scalps numb and their hearts tremble with fear.

They stared at everyone in the tavern, and their dark green eyes were full of desire for the living.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ghosts could no longer suppress their desire to devour people, and turned into gusts of cold wind, rushing wildly towards Drizzt, Graves and others.

However, just when these ghosts rushed into the ten-foot range of the tavern, they let out sharp and shrill wails.

The relatively warm environment for Drizzt and others became a taboo place for these ghosts and dead souls.

Under the astonished eyes of Drizzt and others.

After these ghosts came into contact with the warm breath of the air, they seemed to enter a furnace and their bodies melted rapidly.

The originally hideous and terrifying faces gradually blurred in the melting process, and finally turned into wisps of green smoke.

In just a moment.

The ghosts that broke into the ten-foot range of the tavern disappeared.

Drizzt saw this, his pupils shrank, and the corner of his eyes fell on Huo Jixing, and he was more and more frightened by his strength.

These flame patterns surrounding the tavern are not as simple as they seem.

Not only can they prevent the erosion of black fog, but they can also purify the ghosts that break in.

But the crisis in the tavern is not over yet.

The rolling black fog surged like the ocean under a storm, with turbulent waves, and endlessly impacted the flame pattern.

Driven by the dark power, a huge undead creature stepped on the waves and appeared in front of everyone.

It was dressed in an ancient and elegant black dress, like an aristocrat from the ancient forgotten era.

Its long black hair fell to the ground, swaying gently with its movements.

When it lowered its eyes, a pale and resentful face attracted the attention of most people.

The empty eyes were filled with materialized black fog, hanging from the corners of the eyes like tears, and the evil spirit stared at the world of the living.

The atmosphere in the tavern froze instantly, and everyone looked at the giant undead creature that suddenly appeared in front of them in horror.

Trist, Graves and others held their weapons tightly, staring at the creature vigilantly, ready to respond to possible dangers at any time.

The undead creature was seen walking around the tavern, as if choosing its prey.

Finally, its dark green eyes fell on Huo Jixing, a little daunted.

"It's the Ghost Matron!"

Drizzt seemed to remember something, his face changed, and he roared.

"Don't look at it, it can bewitch the souls of the living."

The Ghost Matron is a terrifying undead creature active in the Shadow Isles.

It is rumored that it was a powerful transcendent in its lifetime, and after its death, it was baptized by the black fog and turned into the Ghost Matron.

The evil spirit is always around it, and its mournful voice can shock the undead and bewitch the living.

But Drizzt's reminder was a little late after all.

Most of the people in the tavern had already stared at the Ghost Mistress when she appeared.

"Ahhh!"

The Ghost Mistress's jaw opened to a point that no joint could reach, and a mournful cry pierced her throat.

The black mist rose like a huge wave falling high, hitting the flame patterns and causing waves of tremors.

Affected by the sound, everyone unconsciously walked out of the tavern and walked towards the black mist.

Even Graves was no exception. He clutched the double-barreled shotgun in his hand and walked towards the Ghost Mistress.

Huo Jixing looked at the ghost mistress walking in the black mist, feeling the bewitching power in the mournful voice.

He stretched out his right hand unhurriedly, his fingers gently slicing through the air, as if playing an invisible piece of music.

Buzz!

A streak of red-gold Nanli Fire appeared out of thin air in front of her, turning into a flaming sword and slashing straight at the Ghost Mistress.

The flaming sword exuded a fiery aura, and wherever it passed, the black mist seemed to be burned by the scorching sun, quickly dissipating, and purifying a large area.

When the ghost mistress saw the flaming sword coming, her empty eyes filled with anger, as if she was angry that someone dared to take action against it.

So, it raised its hands that had turned into white bones high and faced the flaming sword, preparing to break the blade.

Chichi!

Unfortunately, the red-gold Nanli Fire was not something it could resist.

The moment the flaming sword came into contact with the white-bone hands, ten fingers were cut off.

The fingers stained with flames fell to the ground, silently corroding ten deep pits.

Immediately afterwards, the power of the flaming sword continued unabated and struck the ghost mistress, forcibly cutting her body into pieces.

The raging flames burned away the evil spirit, burned along the dress and body, and wrapped the ghost mistress in a sea of ​​fire.

In the blink of an eye.

The figure of the ghost mistress completely disappeared in the fire of Nanli.

Only a purified area was left, and the sound of mourning lingered in the air.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with it, and I lack the weapons I can use."

Huo Jixing spoke in a low voice, seemingly dissatisfied with the results in front of him, and shook his head slightly.

Drizzt, who was behind him, heard this and became increasingly horrified.

At the same time, he also felt as if he had hugged an extraordinary big shot this time.

The moment the ghost mistress died, everyone who had been bewitched woke up.

"Damn, how did I end up here."

Graves looked at the black fog close at hand with a frightened expression.

The soldiers of Yosip and Reiser's garrison beside him also showed similar expressions.

And after the billowing black mist was burned by Nanli's fire, it seemed to have touched the reverse scale and became more and more restless.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

Chaotic footsteps came from the black fog, like thousands of troops rushing towards them, and the sound was very huge.

When Graves heard the sound, he frowned and stared at the billowing black mist.

Suddenly, a skull in the form of a will-o'-the-wisp popped out of the darkness, with empty eye sockets and sharp teeth.

It rushed into the surrounding flame pattern area, and before it had time to react, it immediately turned into a pile of ashes.

But it seems like it's just getting started.

Behind it, more and more skeletons and ghosts appeared, rushing towards the tavern one after another.

What's even more horrifying is that there are countless mutilated corpses mixed inside.

From the style of their clothing, one can tell that these are recently deceased Bilgewater people.

These former residents became soulless monsters when the black mist swept across.

They attack the flame patterns endlessly, intending to break through the indestructible defense.

"Um?"

Huo Jixing, who was standing on the roof of the tavern, seemed to have noticed something and let out a soft sigh.

The flame patterns surrounding it were trembling slightly, as if they couldn't bear the erosion of the black mist and were shrinking little by little.

It may not seem obvious, but it is actually happening.

"There seems to be something wrong with these mist. It can corrode the power of fire."

Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and the red-gold flames in his eyes became more intense, trying to understand the nature of the black mist.

Graves stared intently at the ghosts and skeletons coming in front of him, took a deep breath, raised his double-barreled shotgun, and pulled the trigger.

boom!

A dull sound sounded, and the shotgun sprayed out hot fire.

Shotgun shells with the smell of gunpowder hit the bones and skeletons like a heavy rain, blowing them to pieces in an instant.

The ejected ammunition fragments and shock waves affected the nearby walking dead, causing them to suffer varying degrees of damage.

Seeing Graves' actions, Yosip immediately commanded the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps.

Relying on the defense of the flame pattern near the tavern, they began to massacre these undead creatures in an orderly manner.

After the Noxian Empire's Ace Legion was activated, a wave of carnage swept through the streets.

The originally silent streets turned into a ruthless battlefield, filled with smoke and flames.

The tavern itself also turned into a war barrier at this moment, and a cold atmosphere rose from every corner.

Under the endless wave of black mist, Graves and others did not flinch at all, repelling the impact of waves of undead skeletons and reducing the pressure on the flame lines.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

Graves, who was excited to kill, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his high-pitched voice contained a trace of doubt.

He noticed that the skeletons rushing towards him were familiar, as if they had been slaughtered before.

When Graves looked carefully, he saw familiar bullet marks on the skeleton's body.

"Damn, these undead can actually be reborn?"

Graves' exclamation caught Yosip's attention.

Upon observation, he did not see the ghosts he had destroyed come back to life.

However, the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps under his command spoke out one after another, saying that they had seen many skeletons and walking corpses that had just been killed.

This discovery made everyone present feel numb.

If the undead creature in front of you can really be reborn, then this battle will become extremely difficult.

Because they are always exhausted.

"Under the soul-eating night, the dark clouds gather again and the evil spirits rise again!"

Drizzt stepped in front of Graves, looked into the dark black mist, and spoke in a solemn voice.

"Our normal attacks cannot cause real fatal damage to these undead creatures."

"Only extraordinary power can harm them, or even destroy the spirituality in the body."

Yosip's expression changed, and he suddenly understood why he couldn't see the undead creatures he had hurt.

【Universal Card】!

Like an elegant magician, Drizzt turned his wrist and three cards appeared between his fingers.

He immediately threw it casually, fell into the black mist, and harvested the ghosts.

The magical energy contained in the card directly destroys the green glow in the body of the ghost.

But after losing control, their bodies slowly merged into the black mist and became nutrients to heal the injured skeletons and walking dead.

Seeing this, Drizzt frowned and the cards in his hand flickered.

【Select cards】!

The cards danced at the fingertips, and the magical light of different colors reflected the black mist.

Click!

Drizzt selected a red card, concentrated his magic power, and threw it decisively at the black mist.

The red card broke through the air, like a bolt of lightning falling into the black fog.

As it fell, the surface of the card burned with blazing witchcraft flames, which was particularly eye-catching.

boom!

The card shattered and magic swept over it.

The fiery sorcery flames engulf nearby ghosts and spirits, igniting them into balls of fire.

Under the continuous impact, it accidentally caused small-scale horrific damage.

But there was no joy in Drizzt's face, instead he was a little solemn.

Because his attack was like a drop in the bucket against the endless black fog in front of him, and could not pose a substantial threat at all.

Drizzt took a deep breath and vaguely understood why no one would fight against the undead creatures inside when the Night of Souls came.

You must know that these undead creatures in front of the tavern are just appetizers for Shadow Island.

Even the ghost mistress is not a main course, it can only be said to be an appetizer with a meaty taste.

"We can hold on!"

Drizzt joined the battle with firm eyes, and together they stopped these undead creatures from attacking the tavern.

With Huo Jixing here, they might be able to hold on until dawn.

When dawn comes, this soul-eating night will end!
