The Glory of Noxus

【Flowers in the Mirror】!

The dark purple energy brilliance is like a black rose with thorns, blooming in the back garden of the castle.

As the brilliance gradually dimmed, Huo Jixing's figure was reflected in LeBlanc's petal-like pupils.

"Sure enough, to be valued by Swain and Darius, you are the same kind of people!"

LeBlanc whispered softly, not caring that her attempt to win over failed.

Immediately, her eyes fell on the corridor of the castle, where the auras of Huo Jixing, Swain and others were approaching.

"Huo Jixing's power seems to be subtly different from the power of the stars. Something is not right."

LeBlanc's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity, as if she was thinking about something.

Although she didn't notice it earlier.

But now, the fierce confrontation between Huo Jixing and the Spider God gave her some clues.

LeBlanc is not looking for someone. She has experienced the chaotic era of the Darkin War and witnessed the terrifying power of Darkin and Protoss with her own eyes.

Therefore, she is extremely sensitive to the power of the stars and can detect the subtle differences.

However, what made LeBlanc even more confused was that Huo Jixing had gained an extraordinary reputation in the Shurima continent before.

Why didn't Azir and Xerath test him?

Or are they already fighting against each other?

LeBlanc frowned, feeling somewhat troubled.

Cassiopeia's decision to leave left Black Rose without a lot of key information in Shurima.

LeBlanc could only make calculations based on the existing intelligence.

The ancient Shuriman Empire relied on the guidance of the protoss to create the first Ascended Ones.

It can be said that the continent of Shurima is the private land of the protoss and protoss bearers.

And as Azir and Xerath ascended, how could they be afraid of the power of Huojixing?

Even though they have not yet regained full strength, they have suppressed many gods in Valoran with the help of the sun disk.

"Interesting, are you waiting for the mysterious future battle?" LeBlanc had a flash of inspiration, as if he had captured something.

According to the prophecies of the ancient Shurima Empire, there will be a mysterious future war in Runeterra.

"I see, you old foxes."

She knew in her heart that Azir and Xerath were not really afraid, but were secretly accumulating strength and waiting for the best time.

The two even gave up their hatred, just waiting for the mysterious future battle.

"But it's time for you to take action. The power of the void is extending outward along the land of Icacia."

LeBlanc took a breath and suppressed the many confusing thoughts in her heart.

Immediately, she stepped forward and looked at the soul shaft nearby and the underworld armor suspended inside.

She has understood that she can no longer delay and must start her thousand-year plan.

The auras of Huo Jixing and Swain were getting closer, and there might be a fierce battle, but she was well prepared.

"Mordekaiser, thousands of years have passed by so quickly. How could I not have taken precautions against what you are thinking?"

LeBlanc stood at the edge of the soul shaft, looking down, her eyes flickering, as if she had seen through everything.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind."

A smile formed on her lips and she whispered an ancient proverb from the Ionian Islands.

"Who could be that ignorant cicada?"

"Who could be that greedy mantis?"

"And who is the oriole hiding in the dark?"

In ancient times, Mordekaiser established a huge empire not only by conquest and killing, but also by cunning conspiracy.

His methods are clever and cruel, making countless enemies fearful.

And LeBlanc, as one of Mordekaiser's core members, has already seen Mordekaiser's methods.

Buzz!

As LeBlanc whispered the ancient spell, the miasma surrounding the Soul Shaft instantly fell into riot.

Many souls rose up inside the miasma, like wild horses, escaping toward the garden.

But there are runic restrictions around them, firmly binding them near the soul shaft.

These miasmas are necromantic energy specially collected by LeBlanc.

It was forged from all the souls of the Noxus Empire that fell in the capital over thousands of years.

They howled helplessly, their twisted faces full of pain, fear and despair.

"go!"

LeBlanc stared quietly at the struggling souls, without any mercy in her heart, and pointed to the underworld armor in the soul shaft.

Boom!

Suddenly, the colorful miasma roared, and the torrent of undead energy rolled back into the sky, converging into a huge soul vortex.

Then it was like a pouring Milky Way, pouring violently into the soul shaft.

The souls howled horribly, and the miasma boiled in the chaos.

But under LeBlanc's incomparable control, these necromantic energies poured into the underworld armor in an orderly manner.

Buzz!

The originally lifeless underworld armor slowly glowed with a dark green glow under the injection of necromantic energy.

And as the light lit up, the runes engraved in the soul flickered one after another.

Faintly, there seems to be a world behind the underworld armor.

LeBlanc's originally calm breathing suddenly became rapid, and she could feel the call of that world.

Regardless of whether the rumored news is true or false.

She must go back to her roots, as if it was a mission given to her by fate.

LeBlanc's eyes narrowed, and she immediately jumped down from the well mouth and came to the underworld armor.

She reached out and touched the underworld armor, relaxed her mind, and prepared to try to connect with the underworld armor.

The back garden of the castle gradually returned to tranquility, leaving only the deep purple energy light swaying in the cold wind.

The underworld, in the dark black tower.

Modkaiser, who was waiting, seemed to have noticed something, and his deep eyes moved and fell on the gently shaking underworld armor.

The armor that had lost its life seemed to have more vitality at this moment.

Modkaiser could hear that in the material realm, countless wailing souls were being poured into the underworld armor.

Although the quality was not as good as the souls under his tyrannical rule, the number was too much.

It was Leblanc who took action!

And these undead energies will become the source of his power.

"Pain is eternal!"

Modkaiser laughed softly, stretched out his palm, and a powerful energy surged, calling for a hideous hammer.

This is his weapon, Nightfall, a hammer that exudes dark power.

The surface of Nightfall is covered with sharp black spikes, each of which seems to be able to tear apart all enemies that stand in its way.

And it has witnessed Mordekaiser's second life. It is a ruthless weapon created by him and has plundered countless lives.

Every time he swings Nightfall, he will defeat the enemy and vent the dark energy in his heart.

"I will lead my empire to reign over Runeland again!"

Mordekaiser held Nightfall tightly, feeling its coldness and heaviness.

As he raised his hammer, the immortal army outside the black tower was gathering.

These dead were once powerful warriors on the plains of the underworld, but under the erosion and corruption of dark sorcery, they became Mordekaiser's immortal army.

They are the most powerful army of Mitna Lachen, controlled by Mordekaiser's will, and will fight for him and conquer everything for him.

"Leblanc, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Underground castle, city gate corridor.

In the dim light, the shadows of a group of people were reflected on the ground and extended to the street.

As they walked, the shadows slowly changed, sometimes lengthening, sometimes shortening, looking extremely strange.

After leaving the corridor, the buildings on both sides of the street looked extremely gorgeous, with carefully carved decorations showing extraordinary craftsmanship and design.

At the same time, these buildings were covered with traces of black roses, and thorny roses bloomed in the shadows.

Huo Jixing held Annie's hand and walked slowly, with Swain, Darius, Sion and others beside him.

They looked alert, ready to meet any possible battle at any time.

The soldiers of the Trifari Legion and the Blood Warriors stayed outside to clean up the battlefield.

And guarded the surviving members of the Black Rose.

Huo Jixing looked solemn. In his field of vision, the breath of the underworld became more and more intense, and from time to time, the wailing of souls would sound in his ears.

He had already opened [Red Eyes and Fire Pupils], and the red-gold flames burned in his eyes.

However, the restrictions of the surrounding underworld breath and rune array prevented him from seeing the whole picture.

Swain, who was walking side by side, fell into deep thought, frowning, thinking about the clone that had just killed the Pale Lady, and it seemed that something was wrong.

In terms of pure strength, the Pale Lady's clone could not stop him for so long.

Swain's eyes paused, it was very likely that the Pale Lady was doing two things at once.

She tempted Swain to attack, trying to maintain the balance of the situation, while observing the battle in the underground castle.

Until something unexpected happened, causing the Pale Lady to give up the clone.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, something is wrong around, I see a lot of wandering black shadows."

Anne widened her eyes and couldn't help but clench Huo Jixing's palm, looking at the hazy black shadows curiously.

They seemed to be extremely afraid of the team, and dared not get close at all, so they could only wander nearby.

At this time, Huo Jixing realized that Anne had the power of darkness, and would definitely be able to see the lonely wandering soul in the castle.

He looked at Tibers in Anne's arms, and fear appeared in his blood-red button eyes.

"Did you sense it?"

The only person in the Noxus Empire who could be connected to the breath of the underworld was the Iron Wraith Mordekaiser, who had once built the empire.

Hearing Huo Jixing's voice, Tibers hesitated a little, but finally nodded.

He was once a demon pet beside Mordekaiser, and followed Mordekaiser to build a huge empire.

He was extremely sensitive to the breath of the underworld.

Swain was also thinking about something. He looked around and connected it to the rumors inside the Noxus Empire, and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"The Pale Lady is ready to take action."

Swain's demonic power extended, and countless ravenous crows rushed to all directions like a black storm.

The eyes of these crows flashed with evil red light, and their sharp cries cut through the silent air, trying to find prey.

But in a moment, the ravenous crows returned and landed on Swain's body, telling the secrets in the castle.

There was no one in the castle, as if everyone had disappeared, and it was a completely empty city.

Swain looked gloomy, and could vaguely sense the breath of the underworld in the air.

It seemed to be mixed with the shadow power of the Shadow Isles.

It was rumored that the skull of Tharn Uzul was hidden in the Shadow Isles a long time ago.

And Tharn Uzul was the first life of Mordekaiser.

"It seems that she has already obtained the lifeless armor and intends to replace Mordekaiser."

Swain looked at the hazy castle, feeling the uncontrollable emotions surging into his heart.

Huo Jixing fell into thought, and in his previous life, he only remembered that Mordekaiser would return again.

As for the Pale Lady's plan and the duel with Mordekaiser, there was no mention.

However, with his current strength, he did not show any fear.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is child's play.

As they went deeper into the castle, the shadows appeared more and more frequently around them, as if warning them not to move forward.

Anne felt the chill coming and snuggled up to Huo Jixing.

Swain maintained the power of the demon, and the ravenous crows surrounded everyone, exploring and sensing everything.

Darius and Sion remained alert, holding huge axes, ready to enter combat at any time.

At this moment, a terrifying vision suddenly appeared inside the castle.

In the distant sky, colorful miasma rolled in all directions like a hurricane, and countless wailing souls appeared in everyone's sight.

Then, the soul hurricane poured down like a pouring galaxy, pouring into an unknown place.

Huo Jixing did not hesitate at all, and the red-gold flames soared into the sky. The South Li Suzaku appeared in the sky, taking him and Annie to the distance.

Swain also spread the demon wings behind him, wrapped up the ravenous crows, and took off with the wind.

Darius and Sion ran in big strides, trampling the ground with heavy steps, making a roar.

After a while.

Huo Jixing and Annie arrived at the back garden of the castle first, and what came into view were the wailing souls all over the sky.

And a soul shaft engraved with strange runes.

These souls imprisoned in the back garden are pouring into the shaft uncontrollably.

No matter how they struggle, the final outcome cannot be changed.

Huo Jixing landed, walked slowly towards the soul shaft along the ancient stone bridge.

The Nanli fire rising around burned the almost materialized underworld breath.

Arriving at the edge of the soul shaft, Huo Jixing stared at the scene inside the well.

Presented in the field of vision were countless souls swirling and entwined in it, forming a huge vortex of undead spirits.

And in the center of the vortex, an extremely ancient black armor was suspended.

This armor exuded a heavy and ancient breath, as if witnessing the vicissitudes of countless years.

Its style was hideous and terrifying, full of the characteristics of Noxus style, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

At the shoulder armor and leg armor, each had sharp barbs with a dark green glow, like a demon's fangs, revealing an evil breath.

Huo Jixing's eyes moved, and the pale lady was sitting cross-legged opposite the black armor, touching the armor with both hands.

And these souls infused into the soul shaft became the nutrients of the black rose.

Swain walked up to Huo Jixing and told him the name of the black armor.

"It's the Underworld Iron Armor!"
