The Glory of Noxus

The name of Katarina's ominous blade has long been spread throughout the Valoran continent.

Even in Shurima, the commander of the royal guards has heard many rumors about her.

Looking at Katarina rushing towards him, he took a deep breath to relieve the tension in his heart.

"Line up!"

The commander of the royal guards waved his hand to signal his companions in front of him to prepare for this inevitable battle.

Although he has now been blessed by His Majesty Azir and has the ability to control the yellow sand, he can control the sand at will.

But when he thought of Katarina's excellent fighting skills and cold and ruthless personality in the rumors, the haze in his heart became thicker.

He understood that this battle would be extremely difficult, and no matter what the final result would be, he must do his best.

The commander of the royal guards looked at the sun disk above the platform, which was shining with scorching light, with an extremely firm look in his eyes.

The reason why they were able to discover Katarina's invasion was because of this sun disk.

"The sun is right beside me!"

The leader of the imperial guards roared, raised the copper scepter in his hand, and emitted a brilliant brown light.

Few people know the true way to survive in the desert, and even fewer can manipulate the yellow sand like Azir.

Only Azir's most loyal and powerful servants are lucky enough to have this power and know the secrets of the desert.

"The Emperor gives orders, earth"

"Obey!"

Boom!

The copper scepter hit the ground, making a dull thunderous sound, suppressing the beating of hearts around.

A pile of golden sand appeared out of thin air above the array of imperial guards, falling all over the sky and covering everyone's armor.

The already strong golden armor, after being blessed by the yellow sand, became an indestructible heavy armor.

"Kill!"

The leader of the imperial guards strode forward, and the guards behind him quickly changed their formations, forming a sharp triangle formation, with him as the arrowhead, rushing towards Katarina.

This was a life-and-death contest, and there was no way back.

Because the establishment of the Temple of the Sun was not only related to his personal honor, but also to the plan of His Majesty the Emperor Azir.

Clang!

The bronze scepter fell, crushing the air like a mountain overturning, setting off a terrifying momentum.

Katarina slightly turned her body to avoid the bronze scepter, and the serrated dagger in her hand slid into the palm of the leader of the imperial guards.

The friction between the dagger and the scepter produced sparks, like the stars in the night sky, beautiful and dangerous.

Her cold eyes always stared at the leader of the imperial guards, seemingly ignoring the golden mask and looking at the dark face behind him.

Puff!

The touch of the serrated dagger made Katarina raise her eyebrows slightly.

It was not the feeling of flesh and blood.

It was as if she had fallen into a quagmire, and there were waves of suction coming from all around, trying to freeze her serrated dagger.

From the corner of her eyes, Catalina saw that the yellow sand covering the golden armor was wriggling and gathering towards the serrated dagger.

"Is it the effect of the magic just cast?"

She thought of the sand and gravel that fell from the sky like golden rain before the imperial guards rushed over, and she understood.

But relying on these alone to stop her from moving forward was undoubtedly an underestimation of her strength.

Buzz!

At the same time, a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air came from above Catalina's head.

It was the commander of the imperial guards who took advantage of the situation and smashed the copper scepter in his hand.

Catalina raised her hand lightly, and the serrated dagger emitted a rich blood-red glow, instantly shattering the yellow sand quagmire.

Then she tapped the ground lightly and disappeared in front of the commander of the imperial guards.

[Instant Step]!

Boom!

Under the control of the commander of the imperial guards, the bronze scepter hit the ground hard, as if carrying the power of a storm, leaving a dent on the ground of the golden platform.

"Where did you go?"

The commander of the imperial guards saw Katarina disappear in front of him, and he looked around, trying to resist the recoil from his arms.

Behind him!

He heard the sound of a dagger cutting through the night sky.

When he turned around, he happened to see Katarina appear behind the guards at the edge of the formation.

A bloody glow suddenly appeared.

The serrated dagger cut through the yellow sand, ignoring the solid golden armor, and pierced into the neck of the imperial guard.

Crash!

Katarina moved her wrist slightly, and the serrated dagger turned, directly crushing the neck of the imperial guard.

The bright red blood sprayed like a fountain, pouring on the nearby guards.

Katarina looked at the commander of the imperial guards calmly, her eyes full of coldness and desire for victory.

[Ejecting Blade]!

[Ready to Launch]!

The serrated dagger was thrown out, and gracefully ejected in the array of the imperial guards.

Katarina approached, and with perfect skills, she would appear behind the imperial guards every time the serrated dagger fell.

With the sharpness of the serrated dagger, coupled with Katarina's full strength.

Even if the imperial guards were covered by the sun disk and blessed by the power of the yellow sand, they could not avoid the arrival of death.

The serrated dagger turned into a spirit snake in Katarina's hand, dancing the dance of death.

Every time it was swung, it would either pierce the neck of the imperial guards, instantly taking their lives.

Or it would cut their aortas and spray out red blood.

One by one, the living lives became cold corpses in Katarina's hands, and the original golden platform was stained with a layer of death.

It was like telling everyone that the majesty of the Noxus Empire was inviolable.

The commander of the royal guards looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and the angry flames in his eyes spurted out like substance.

"The God-Emperor gives orders, yellow sand"

"Sweep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow sand scattered in the air seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and no longer blocked Catalina's actions alone.

Instead, they gradually condensed together to form an inverted yellow sand storm, slowly shrinking with Catalina as the center.

The surviving imperial guards followed the pace of the yellow sand storm, clutching the bronze spears in their hands, as if they were integrated with the storm, and rushed towards Catalina.

The center of the yellow sand storm.

Catalina looked at the storm of yellow sand that was sweeping in. She felt the binding force of the yellow sand on her body, and her expression paused.

She harvested the lives of the guards in front of her, feeling the pressure coming from all directions, and waved the serrated dagger in her hand.

The blood-stained dagger danced, drawing sharp arcs, chopping up the wind and driving away the surrounding yellow sand.

However, the power of the yellow sand seemed to be endless. After Catalina was just chopped into pieces, it regrouped and charged forward one after another.

As the yellow sand storm shrank, the imperial guards also quickened their pace, holding bronze spears imbued with the power of the sun, and charged Catalina.

"The God Emperor decrees, the power of yellow sand! Then let's try, whose storm is stronger."

Catalina spun her body, chopped off the bronze spear that was thrust towards her, and looked at the sun disk suspended in the sky.

She saw the blazing sunlight falling on the body of the commander of the royal guards, or to be precise, on the copper-colored scepter he held.

"Sacrifice my great Noxus with the blood of my enemies!"

Catalina whispered in her heart, a wild smile creeping onto her hard face.

【greedy】!

The rich crimson energy gathered on the surface of the serrated dagger, along the arm, covering Katarina's body.

She looked at the imperial guards and Huangsha Storm who were surrounding them, and suddenly launched a violent attack.

"The dance of blades is unparalleled!"

【Death Lotus】!

The dim moonlight fell, covering the gorgeous golden platform.

Caterina wielded the saw-tooth dagger, her movements were light and graceful, she seemed to be the best dancer in the palace, dancing in the yellow sand storm, showing a flawless posture.

The sharp dagger cut through the air and the surrounding yellow sand, followed by the restless and crazy wind.

Finally, there is the feeling of blockage from the armor!

Buzz! Buzz!

Katarina's figure flickered among the array of imperial guards like the ghost of death.

Countless dark red blood turned into blooming roses, slowly blooming on the golden platform.

Delicate and dazzling!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When Catalina stopped walking, a headless corpse fell on the high platform behind her, and the blood spurting from the neck condensed into a stream and flowed slowly.

Gold and red are intertwined, looking strange and romantic.

"And you...!"

Catalina raised her eyes, stared at the commander of the imperial guards who were close at hand, and the four imperial guards behind him, and stepped forward.

The serrated dagger in his hand was dripping with blood, knocking at the target's heart like a whisper of death.

"The God-Emperor gives the orders."

The leader of the royal guards breathed a sigh of relief, grasped the copper scepter tightly, looked at Catalina, and gave the final order.

"Go to death!"

Roars exploded on the high platform, and the imperial guards wearing golden armor strode forward and rushed towards Catalina.

They are His Majesty Azir's most loyal servants, and have long since dedicated everything to the God-Emperor and the Shurima Empire.

"It makes no sense!"

[Shunpo]!

Katarina went from stillness to movement, and swung the serrated dagger rapidly, carrying a bloody aura, and slashed at the leader of the royal guards.

"Um?"

The moment the dagger fell, Catalina disappeared and appeared at the edge of the high platform.

She frowned and looked at the place where she stood before, where a purple withered flower was blooming silently.

Following the energy fluctuations, she looked at the light falling from the sun's disk and saw two huge figures wearing ancient armor walking slowly.

Looking from a distance, two huge figures looked like hills, bringing an invisible sense of oppression.

"their helmets"

Catalina's eyes trembled as she recognized the style of helmets worn by the two figures.

After the incident at the Tomb of the Kings, she carefully read Shurima's ancient history and many myths.

The helmets of both are shaped like animal heads, with protruding muzzles.

The brim on the left is shaped like a roaring jackal, while the one on the right is a crude imitation of a crocodile's long snout.

And what they represent is the legendary ascendant of the ancient Shurima Empire——

Nasus and Renekton!

"Leave this place to us, you go deal with the Leiser garrison outside."

A low and solemn voice sounded, breaking the atmosphere of confrontation on the golden platform.

The leader of the royal guards nodded slowly and led the remaining guards to the sand wall area where the fierce battle was taking place, vowing to protect the golden platform.

The Huangsha Legion that sneaked into Nasramei faced the fierce attack of the Reese garrison and gradually showed a trend of defeat.

The bodies of many companions were dropped on the blood-stained ground, and fear permeated the array.

In addition, the warbands of the Noxus Empire have assembled in the city, and the sound of uniform steps echoes in the empty streets.

They received orders from Catalina and were heading towards the area where the sun disk was located, suppressing any enemy who dared to stop them.

The panic caused along the way was spreading in Nashram. Although the bright yellow lights dispelled some of the darkness, the shadow of war loomed over everyone's heart.

At the same time, many forces cast their eyes on it.

The fate of Nashram has already touched everyone's heart.
