The Glory of Noxus

"Hoo ho! Ho ho!"

Kassadin lowered his eyes and looked at the right hand wearing the Void Blade, his mouth slightly open behind the visor, breathing heavily.

The dark purple arm guard was directly broken, the humerus at the elbow joint of the right arm was exposed to the air, and little bits of blood dripped onto the yellow sand ground.

Although his body has experienced the integration of many arcane artifacts and forbidden techniques, he is not too afraid of Rek'Sai's void power.

But facing Rek'Sai's ferocious counterattack, Kassadin still felt the threat of death.

The terrifying power carried by the mountain-like body almost crushed his body.

In the end, at the cost of having his right hand broken, he forced himself to use [Void Walking] to avoid subsequent damage.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Kassadin looked back, his pupils narrowed.

Huo Jixing in the field of vision looked calm and unhurried, as if he was not affected by Rek'Sai's impact at all.

"Need help?"

Huo Jixing looked at the severely injured Kassadin and asked softly.

He was surprised that Rek'Sai's final attack target would be Kassadin.

But he was just hit by the aftermath of the void, and relied on his own strong strength to easily resist it.

"No, thank you for your concern." Kassadin shook his head at Huo Jixing and said in a hoarse voice.

He immediately called on the power within his body.

The dark purple armor lights up with mysterious runes, and the Eye of the Void engraved on the waist overflows with gurgling void power, healing the arm.

But for a little while.

The severely injured right hand has healed, and the armor has automatically returned to its original state.

Huo Jixing looked around, his eyes falling on the void energy that was still raging.

After Rek'Sai pierced the space, he left a huge deep purple hole that was still closing, and the power of the void near the hole released an unstable aura.

He frowned. These unstable void energies might erupt again at any time, becoming an obstacle to subsequent pursuits.

Huo Jixing recalled the fatal threat posed by Rek'Sai's last dash into the void, and thought to himself.

The void invasion is a fact that all forces on the continent of Valoran have to face, but the current situation does not require his excessive intervention.

The protoss of the Titan Tribe and the gods on Valoran have been wary of the invasion of the void and are secretly on guard against it.

They have greater power and abundant resources to deal with void creatures.

The most important thing is that this is not the territory of the Noxus Empire, but the continent of Shurima.

He only promised Elder Feisal to assist the rock village in resisting this void attack.

Kassadin stepped over at this time. Although his breath was a little weak, it seemed that there was no big problem.

"I can't catch up. Rek'Sai has already entered the Kohalise Desert."

Kassadin stared at Rek'Sai's retreat, with fear in his eyes.

"The Axai clan has already dug countless tunnels under the Kohalise Desert, including everywhere."

"It is rumored that there is a passage connecting to the Nightmare Realm, which is where Rek'Sai and her descendant Axai were born."

"There is something even more evil out there, waiting hungrily for the passage to be opened and come to Shurima."

Huo Jixing nodded slightly when he heard this, agreeing with Kassadin's statement.

In fact, he no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to pursue Rek'Sai.

With his current strength and many stars opening up, it is indeed possible to defeat Rek'Sai.

But it is not easy to keep Rek'Sai. Just the huge body like a mountain gives him a headache.

"Let's deal with these unstable void energies." Kassadin pointed to the deep purple energy and space cracks permeating the edge of the oasis.

Rek'Sai's final thrust into the void was like a violent ancient behemoth digging through the passage left by void erosion.

Overflowing void energy danced and flickered in the air, like countless tiny lightning bolts, carrying a cold aura.

If not dealt with in time, some weak void creatures may be born under the influence of these void energies, harassing rock villages and passing caravans.

Huo Jixing readily agreed.

These remaining void energies are indeed a bit troublesome. Even with the nature of Nanli Fire, which is incombustible, it still burns for a long time.

When everything was taken care of, the crimson glow of dawn fell quietly.

The layers of light are like a hazy gauze, gently spread on the bloody oasis.

Rock village at dawn.

After the void attack, a lonely and desolate atmosphere filled the ruins of the village.

The former prosperity has disappeared, leaving only broken walls and ruins, sadly telling the disaster caused by void creatures.

Even the sandy city wall that once protected the village has mostly collapsed, and the remaining parts are left alone with children, witnessing the changes in the village.

Xia Mara stood on the edge of the ruins, looking extremely tired, and her black pearl-like eyes were bloodshot.

She steeled herself, commanded the surviving tribal hunters and caravan guards, and searched for her companions and villagers buried in the ruins.

Elder Faisal was receiving treatment in a simple tent not far behind Shyamala. His wrinkled face was bloodless.

Under Rek'Sai's wrath, his left arm and shoulder blade completely disappeared.

Even the left side of the body was traumatized, exposing internal organs, flesh and bones.

Elder Faisal endured the pain, looked around at the dilapidated scene in the village, and sighed softly.

He saw collapsed houses, broken city walls, and faces that were once familiar but now slept forever.

All this filled his heart with sadness and helplessness.

Elder Feisal felt that he was lucky to have survived this terrifying void disaster.

The two resident mages sent by Ixtar all fell into the hands of Bakai, and now even the bones can't be found.

Seeing Huo Jixing and Kassadin returning from a distance, Elder Feisal propped up his body and walked over slowly.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Cassadine, Mr. Charles."

Elder Feisal saluted Kassadin and Huo Jixing, his heart full of gratitude.

If it weren't for the selfless actions of these two people, the rock village would have been completely destroyed in this void attack and would have ceased to exist.

"No need to be polite." Kassadin motioned Elder Feisal to stand up.

He understood the current mental state of Elder Faisal because he had experienced similar things.

The difference is that no one helped Kassadin at that time, leaving him with a village in ruins and his missing wife and daughter.

"What the village needs now is stability and hope, and you are such a role."

Kassadin looked at the sad and numb villagers surrounding the edge of the ruins and said softly.

The corners of Elder Faisal's eyes are covered with traces of time, and deep wrinkles are carved on his face like ravines.

"I will try my best."

He is the village elder and wise man, and a survivor of many void attacks.

He and Belvis had been doing this kind of thing during the past void attacks at Rock Villa.

But now he is the only one left. Belvis, his chosen successor, has become a believer in the void and returned to the embrace of the void.

"The village will move on."

Elder Faisal suppressed all the emotions in his heart and kept his eyes firm.

"No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, Rock Village will flourish again."

The light of dawn gradually became brighter, shining on those who survived.

Elder Faisal stared at the ruined village and secretly vowed to restore its former prosperity.

In the following time, Elder Faisal led the villagers to begin the arduous reconstruction work.

They clean up the ruins, build houses, and maintain the environment of the oasis.

Although the process was difficult, Elder Faisal skillfully handled the problems encountered.

Coupled with the abundant supplies carried by many caravans, the reconstruction of the rock village went extremely smoothly and gave it new vitality.

On this day, Elder Faisal had just finished handling the matters at hand when he heard the villagers coming to report.

They told Elder Faisal that Lord Shyamala and Mr. Charles from the Midarda Chamber of Commerce came to visit.

After hearing the news, Elder Faisal stood up in a hurry, quickly arranged his clothes, and then walked quickly to the door.

He saw Xia Mara and Huo Jixing waiting at the door and enthusiastically welcomed them into the house.

After the greetings, Huo Jixing went directly to the topic, looked at Elder Faisal and said.

"Elder Faisal, you must have not forgotten your promise, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Charles." Elder Faisal nodded heavily to Huo Jixing and replied respectfully.

"I have been waiting for Mr. Charles' arrival all this time."

After saying that, Elder Faisal stood up and guided Huo Jixing and Xhamala to the back room.

The door opened, and dim candlelight lit up the wall, reflecting the scene in the room.

It can be seen that this is a place dedicated to placing items, full of historical precipitation and the atmosphere of adventure.

Rusty weapons and ancient armors hang on the walls, and the style does not belong to the Shurima continent.

On the wooden display stand, precious materials taken from animal bodies are placed, such as the teeth of giant beasts and soft fur.

There are also some strange objects in the corners. Their shapes and uses are elusive, as if they are unknown objects from another world.

"Mr. Charles, you can choose as you like." Elder Faisal looked at the items in the room, his eyes flashing lightly.

"These are objects collected by rock villages over hundreds of years."

He stretched out his fingers and gently touched an ancient armor, recalling the adventure experiences of his youth, and went to the forgotten land of Icathia with his companions.

"Lord Shyamala, you can take whatever you like. Thank you for your help to the village during this time."

Elder Faisal turned to Shyamala, his tone full of gratitude.

Without the help of Xia Mara and the Myrdalda Chamber of Commerce behind her, other chambers of commerce would most likely sit back and ignore the rock village.

Xia Mara smiled slightly, looked at Huo Jixing calmly, and swept her eyes across the room.

Huo Jixing passed Elder Faisal and walked into the room, looking at every item inside.

He thought he wouldn't gain much. After all, the rock village was backed by Ixtal, and the rune items would definitely enter Ixtal's field of vision first.

But in the room, he saw four or five runic items.

Although the quality is very average, the rune attributes are retained and can be used for decomposition.

Huo Jixing picked them up one by one, and finally came to a scimitar covered with green rust.

This scimitar has a strong historical atmosphere. The sharpness of the blade has long since disappeared, and the handle is also very broken. The unfamiliar writing left behind is vaguely visible.

"It's the Nimcha scimitar."

Shamara came behind Huo Jixing, looked at the scimitar on the wall, and explained its origin.

"This is a weapon from the Ekassia era, a thousand years ago."

"In the fight against the tyrannical rule of the Shurima Empire, the brave Ekassia warriors held the Nimcha scimitar to resist the attacks of the Ascended Legion and the Yellow Sand Soldiers."

Shamara's eyes fell on the armor near the Nimcha scimitar and the old items below.

"It should be the ancient things found by the nearby scavengers who sneaked into the forgotten land of Ekassia."

Huo Jixing looked at Shamara in surprise. He didn't expect her to know so much about the history and culture of Ekassia.

"Master Jarl is very interested in these things. We occasionally purchase related things." Shamara laughed softly and explained.

Huo Jixing suddenly realized that he knew Jarl's hobbies quite well.

The heir of the Midalda family likes to find all kinds of ancient items.

Huo Jixing took down the Nimcha scimitar. There was still some rune power on the rusty scimitar.

Before leaving, Xiamara also selected some materials of void creatures, which could be sold to inventors as additional income.

The two said goodbye to Elder Feisal and returned to their residence in the village.

The night was deep and the stars were dim.

Huo Jixing and the snow-white Poro finished dinner, left the room, and went to the address left by Kassadin.

There was still a deal between him and Kassadin that had not been completed.
