The Glory of Noxus

"Who to choose?"

Hearing the question in his ear, Darius looked at Huo Jixing in surprise, and thought to himself.

So confident?

Then, Darius thought of the introduction of Huo Jixing's deeds in the intelligence, and had to admit that Huo Jixing did have such strength.

But he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Although Darius was the Hand of Noxus, he had always led the Empire War Group to fight on the front battlefield, and rarely had the opportunity to fight alone.

Even if he had fought with Sejuani, it was one of the few times he had a head-on fight in his general career.

At that time, he was still at a disadvantage, and just barely stopped Sejuani's frost storm from ravaging the battlefield.

Now Darius has to face the legendary ancient demon and the Spider Queen who believes in the Spider God.

Even though he had seen many big scenes, at this moment, he would be somewhat hesitant and nervous.

Darius looked at Evelyn and Iris, who were emitting terrifying pressure in the sky. After a moment of silence, he was about to answer.

"The feeling of pain!"

Suddenly, a low roar sounded in front of the array, shocking people like thunder.

Sion threw away the tightly grasped black axe, held the hideous head with both hands, and the painful and suppressed roar echoed in the underground castle.

And the bloody energy around his body swept like a hurricane, blowing up dust.

The air was full of bloody breath, and the hot temperature baked people's hearts.

"Blood!"

"Blood!"

"Heat. And anger!"

Sion raised his head and roared, and the deafening sound echoed above the underground castle.

Then, a halo like substance rippled out from the furnace on Sion's waist, as if trying to control Sion.

"Blood is engulfing me!"

Sion's voice was full of powerlessness, and his red eyes showed a crazy and out-of-control color.

His body began to tremble slowly, and his palms as big as cattail leaves fluttered, blowing away the nearby Trifarii Legion soldiers.

Sion tried to resist, but everything seemed so powerless.

The blood-red halo surged like a tide, covering Sion's towering body like a hill.

The remaining will in his blood-red eyes almost collapsed under the wash of the murderous brutality.

Sion lowered his head and panted, his eyes swept over the Trifarii Legion soldiers, and then fell on Darius, roaring.

He raised the discarded black battle axe, agitated the soul furnace, ignored the obstacles along the way, and rushed towards Darius resolutely.

"The hunger is growing!"

"But this is not me!"

Sion's sudden loss of control exceeded everyone's expectations, and instantly disrupted the formation of the Trifarii Legion.

Darius looked in the direction of the sound, noticed Sion running over, and his expression changed suddenly.

"What's going on?"

Before the action, they had checked the status of Sion and the Blood Warriors in advance, and there was nothing abnormal.

But now, Sion was like a wild beast that had lost its mind, rushing towards him frantically.

"It's blood magic!"

Huo Jixing frowned as he smelled the familiar smell of blood magic in the air and the blood-colored halo surrounding Sion.

This seemed to be the power of Vladimir, but didn't he fall in his hands?

Could it be that he escaped the fate of death and hid inside the black rose?

"Sion's will is being affected by blood magic." Huo Jixing said in a deep voice.

This is the conclusion he came to based on the characteristics of blood magic.

When Darius heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately understood.

He turned and looked at Huo Jixing, and said in an extremely solemn tone.

"I need to intercept Sion, otherwise the array of the Trifari Legion will be directly dispersed."

After Sion caused unrest, the core members of the Black Rose who appeared in front of the underground castle quickly took action.

The fact that these core members of the Black Rose can appear here shows that they are very strong.

Each of them is an elite carefully selected by the Pale Lady.

They turned into a black wave and rushed towards the soldiers of the Trifarian Legion who were in disarray.

Huo Jixing nodded to Darius and looked at the threat coming from the dome.

He originally planned to suppress Sion himself.

But Elise didn't want him to do so, and her scarlet eyes were ready to move.

Perhaps it was the instruction of the Pale Lady, or perhaps Elise wanted to regain her dignity as the queen.

Huo Jixing had to face the threat brought by Elise.

Evelyn's attitude was a bit ambiguous.

She seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, but she was always hiding in the shadows, and no one knew what she was doing.

"Did you do it?" Swain stared at the Pale Lady in front of him.

As his words fell, the surrounding ravenous crows felt the anger of their master.

They became more agitated, and their black wings danced in the air, making sharp sounds.

The demonic power on Swain ignited like a flame, clinging to his old coat, making him look majestic and terrifying.

"As a member of the Black Rose, Vladimir has been immersed in blood magic for so long, we must have some tricks left."

The Pale Lady did not deny it and directly admitted her behavior.

Under the situation faced by the Noxian Empire at that time, making war weapons was an urgent matter.

Although in the war with the Kingdom of Demacia, Sion broke through the solid line of the Demacians and completed a fatal blow to the King of Demacia, Jarvan I.

But he fell as the Hand of Noxus in the Demacia War, causing the war group to be injured and retreat in panic.

When Sion's broken body was recovered, one hand still held the crown of the King of Demacia.

The Noxian Empire held an elaborate state funeral for Sion to mourn his sacrifice.

In the end, Sion's body was buried under a towering monument as a symbol of his eternity.

Fifty years later, Sion's tomb was opened again.

Because in the years after Sion's death, Noxus's rule was weakening.

Even many heroes of the Empire, led by Kled, could not reverse the decline.

The ruling Imperial Commander, Bron Darkwill, was willing to restore the lost glory of the Empire at all costs.

Later, the Black Rose appeared as a mysterious society under Darkwill's command and used forbidden magic on Sion -

blood magic during the Darkin War!

Resurrecting this long-lost hero and presenting him to the Imperial Commander.

Darkwill could not refuse the gift.

Sion was then transformed by blood magic and sorcery, and brought back to life, driven by an unnatural bloodlust that made him insensitive to any pain.

The reborn Sion was like a living battering ram, smashing through all the enemies of Noxus before him.

The victory and glory he brought were even greater than when he was alive.

Sion could not be controlled, killing both enemies and friends without mercy, and the soldiers who were forced to fight beside him began to flee without a fight.

Until finally, Darkwill felt that the glory of the Empire had been restored, and ordered Sion to be reburied.

Nearly a hundred warriors gave their lives to restrain Sion, and finally, with the help of the Black Rose, Sion was tied with iron chains and dragged back to the Immortal Bastion.

Without the slaughter, the blood magic that supported him quickly overwhelmed his mind, leaving only an all-consuming rage.

As Sion was buried under the huge statue of himself and sealed again, his bloody roar finally calmed down.

He had been tortured for years under his own statue, and had been in a half-dead state.

When the scorching sun melted into the tomb, Sion's tomb opened again.

The Noxus Empire had ushered in a new era. Darkwill was gone, replaced by the new empire leader Jericho Swain.

Sion also ushered in a new mission, to remove the black rose that pierced the flesh and blood of the empire.

"Do you think you will succeed?"

Looking down at the out-of-control Sion below, Swain suddenly said softly, his calm face looked like he had a good grasp of the pearl.

The Pale Lady looked at the calm Swain, and a bad feeling emerged in her heart.

Without waiting for a reaction, Swain in front of her stretched out his demonic left hand, as if to hold her life.

"Now, it's our turn!"

Swain stepped forward, and the bloody red demonic power gushed out of his body.

"Go to death, Pale Lady!"

[Demon Sublimation]!

Swish!

Behind Swain, a pair of dark wings that covered the sky tore through the old coat and soared into the sky.

Waves of bloody red demonic power condensed into feather shapes, dotted on the wings.

The flock of ravenous crows surrounding Swain made hoarse cries, like the god of death swinging a scythe and cutting flesh.

Puff!

The red demonic arm pushed away the ravenous crows in front of him.

Swain looked at the Pale Lady with a cold expression, and a repressive and suffocating atmosphere enveloped the underground castle.

"Power is my only mentor!"

[Touch of Liberation]!

The majestic demonic power condensed in the palm of his hand.

As Swain aimed at the Pale Lady, it suddenly turned into multiple blood-red lightnings, leaping forward in the air and falling straight towards the target.

"The power of the demon Raum."

The Pale Lady looked at Swain, who was going all out from the beginning, with her eyes slightly condensed.

Pale magic power suddenly appeared, mixed with purple light, outlining a series of exquisite shields to resist the falling blood-red lightning.

"It is indeed worth my caution."

"But you should not come here, nor should you curiously explore what is behind it."

The pale lady's eyes were cold, and the cold killing intent filled her pupils.

[Phantom Chain]!

In the pale light, the purple energy gradually melted, and a touch of brilliant golden light bloomed, like the stamens in the center of a flower blooming.

Then, the golden stamens danced, weaving a gorgeous and exquisite chain, with phantoms, piercing through the invading group of crows.

A sad and shrill wail sounded.

The phantom chain was like an extremely sharp spear, connecting the crows one by one, stabbing straight at Swain.

Clang!

The black cleaver and the black axe held by Sion clashed fiercely on the battlefield, making a harsh metal collision sound.

Each collision seemed to tear the surrounding air apart, and the ripple-like vibration spread from the center of the battlefield, causing strong winds to blow wildly, clearing out a piece of the battlefield.

Darius stood straight, like a steel fortress, and resisted Sion's wild attack.

He stared firmly at Sion, who was in a frenzy and venting his power.

He took a deep breath and mobilized the violent power in his body.

Boom!

The violent power surged, and the bloody glow was like a substance that was added to Darius' body.

In the distance, Darius' muscles could be seen to swell, his strength doubled, and his outer cloak moved without wind.

Sion roared and swung his ax wildly, trying to penetrate Darius' defenses.

But Darius, who was blessed by [Fragments of Violence], used perfect skills to forcibly suppress Sion's offensive.

Surrounded by the fierce battlefield, whether it was the soldiers of the Trifali Legion or the core members of the Black Rose, they had to stay away from the edge for the time being.

They looked at Darius and Sion on the field with horrified expressions.

The old and new Hands of Noxus were engaged in a violent confrontation in the underground castle.

Wow!

The steel chain was thrown out, like a giant python breaking through the darkness, and quickly wrapped around the handle of the black giant axe, binding it to Sion's arm.

Then Darius stepped forward, the sharp black cutter pressing the black axe, almost cutting the ax into pieces.

【Crippling blow】!

boom!

There was a dull clashing sound.

The black cutter easily cut through Sion's leg armor, leaving a hideous scar on the stitched armor's right leg.

The direct chop caused Sion to stumble, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

"This power"

Sion lowered his eyes and looked at the scars left on the armor's right leg, a memory appearing on his crazy face.

This is the magical rune power belonging to the Black Cutter!

It was the weapon that had accompanied him!

"My hands are stained with blood, I remember this!"

"Noxus. My everything."

Sain suddenly raised his face, and a trace of clarity flashed through his eyes full of madness and fighting intent.

"Who is inside me?"

His voice was low and hoarse, a mixture of fear and anger.

He could feel an unknown force swimming in his body, centered on the Soul Forge, trying to control his body and will.

"Come out and die!"

Sion roared loudly, venting the fervent fighting spirit in his heart, but he still killed Darius uncontrollably.

However, Darius felt that the violent power in his body was getting stronger and stronger at this moment, and he could continue to suppress Sion's attack.

"Sion, you have to understand the meaning of your resurrection this time!"

Darius looked past the Black Cleaver's ax blade and stared intently at Sion.

"Otherwise, we can only send you back to that empty tomb again."

Sion fought instinctively, but the clear color in his eyes became more and more obvious, and he began to fight for control of his body.

"I must live."

Sion roared angrily, and from his copper bell-like eyes and nostrils, black blood poured into his body.

The strange-looking black blood slid down his cheeks, corroding the solid ground.

At the same time, Sion's zombie-like body exuded a rotting smell.

"I've seen you before"

He opened his hands and looked at the pale lady in the sky, understanding the source of the blood that caused the blood in his body to lose control.

"Noxus told me"

"The Empire, above all else!"

Sion held the broken black giant axe, turned back and rushed into the depths of the battlefield, towards the core members of the Black Rose who were pouring out.

He was ready to vent his anger on these black rose dregs.

"This will be your burial place!"

Sion, who is gradually becoming clearer, is wreaking havoc on the battlefield. Every time he swings the broken black ax, he will definitely take away the lives of the core members of the Black Rose.

Darius, who recalled Sion, did not relax and looked up at the battle on the dome.

However, when he saw the scene on the dome, he was a little stunned.
