The Glory of Noxus

Under the thundercloud storm, fireworks filled the sky.

Tybok transformed into a demon lord who mastered flames, dominating the battlefield with surging dark flames and forcibly suppressing Annie's offensive.

It has to be said that Annie's talent for fire and pyromagnetic energy really surprised him.

Judging from Tybok's long life, Anne's age was only a child in human lifespan.

But the strength she showed at this moment definitely surpassed most extraordinary beings, allowing her to not fall behind when facing her own attacks.

This is already amazing!

This shows that Annie's flame talent and pyromagnetic energy have already reached an incredible level.

Even among the many battles Tybok went through, few could compare with Anne in terms of talent.

The only one who can surpass Annie

It was LeBlanc who defeated herself and sealed herself in a silver bottle.

Even as a fire demon, Tybok is still very afraid of Love.

Not only because of LeBlanc's identity, His Majesty Mordekaiser was once his right-hand man.

There is also the strength that LeBlanc possesses, the terrifying magical ability that can be faked to be real.

It was precisely by virtue of his unique trick magic that Tybok finally fell into a trap and was defeated and sealed in a silver bottle for a thousand years.

At the edge of the soul shaft, the battle between Tybok and Annie continued.

Their attacks became more and more fierce, and the energy of the different flames formed a huge vortex between them, covering the back garden and turning it into a lava hell.

It even spreads faintly to the surroundings, covering the gorgeous underground castle.

"Um?"

Taibok's expression changed, and he lowered his eyes to look at Anne below. The lava shield protecting her was gradually weakening.

"Is this fatigue?"

He stared at the pyrotechnic flames surrounding Annie, with a glimmer of victory in his eyes.

But Annie still persevered and tried her best to maintain her lava shield.

Once the shield breaks, she loses any hope of saving Tibbers.

Tybok looked at Annie's predicament and felt more likely to win.

He immediately began to increase the intensity of his attacks, and the bear's paws, covered with dark flames, smashed towards Annie like a boulder.

At the critical moment when Tybok was about to end the battle.

Anne suddenly raised her head and looked at Tybok, her once helpless eyes were filled with determination.

The red-gold talisman held tightly in her hand quietly shattered under her power, unlocking the power stored inside.

All of a sudden!

A scorching red-gold flame energy surged out of Annie's body, directly impacting Tybok.

This red-gold flame energy is very different from the pyrophoric flame controlled by Annie.

It is more pure and powerful, infecting the back garden and the soul shaft like gold.

Phew!

The screams of birdsong pierced the sky, and a wave of red-gold flames swept across.

The nearly solid Nanli Suzaku reflected in the mid-air, waving its flaming wings, breaking through the dark flames.

Then, Nanli Suzaku's golden eyes looked down at the shadow bear that Taibok had transformed into, a flash of stern color flashed down, and he swooped down.

"It's the power of the flame star spirit!"

Taibok stared at the flame bird rushing over, his expression suddenly changed.

He remembered that he had come into contact with this flame power in the ancient temple before.

At that time, he thought that the stars from heaven were coming, so he was frightened and hid at the bottom of the sealed silver bottle, not daring to move.

Now, Tybok faced the power of the Flame Star Spirit again, and was caught off guard for a moment.

He hurriedly dodged, but was still knocked over by Nanli Suzaku's flames and staggered.

He could clearly feel the flames raging around him, and the hot breath was roasting his body.

"roar!"

Taibok roared angrily, swung his bear paws entwined with dark flames, and slapped the Nanli Suzaku that was attacking.

The fierce flames are overwhelming!

The ferocity of the Shadow Bear was brought into full play by Tybok.

The dark eyes were full of rage, as if they wanted to swallow all the creatures in front of them.

But when Nanli Suzaku stretched out its sharp golden claws, it ignored Taibok's counterattack and pierced straight into Taibok's shoulder.

Poof!

The dark flames retreated, and half of the energy body outlined by the demonic power instantly melted away.

Taibok's face was ferocious, with pain and anger intertwined. His hands covered with black flames pressed the golden claws, trying to prevent them from going deeper.

However, Nanli Suzaku's offensive did not stop there. The flame wings fell, breaking Tybok's illusions and firmly controlling him in the air.

Immediately, the flaming feathers fell like a rain curtain, and each piece seemed to be like a gilded leaf, forming a cage of flames.

The criss-crossing flame swords penetrated Tybok's shadow bear body and imprisoned him in the center of the cage.

Taibok, who is good at controlling all kinds of flames in Rune Land, seemed completely at a loss when faced with the fire of Nanli.

No matter how he used the power of the devil, he could not shake the flame cage in front of him.

"Damn it!"

Taibok struggled, but the pain that penetrated his bone marrow made him lose any ability to resist.

In the end, the intertwined flaming swords wrapped around his body like a swarm of fiery snakes, forcing back the dark fireworks, revealing the shadow bear's true form.

Annie stood under Nanli Suzaku, her body still surrounded by blazing flame energy.

She could clearly feel the Nanli fire boiling in her body, and her dark red eyes showed a trace of exhaustion.

But it also comes with the joy of victory.

Annie's talent for fire is indeed unparalleled, and she can perfectly control the Nanli Fire in the red-gold talisman.

At this moment, Annie is no longer the girl who needs protection, but one who stands up to protect her companions.

Daughter of Darkness!

She looked at Taibok. His ferocious look did not frighten her, but instead took firm steps and walked over.

Annie came to Tybok, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face, stretched out her hand, and gently touched Tybok's cheek.

"Tibbers, come back, it's me who will protect you this time!"

"He will not come back. I am the flame demon, and he is just my separated consciousness." Tybok said ruthlessly.

Although his body was imprisoned, he was unable to respond.

But he responded with cold words.

"No!"

Annie shook her head stubbornly and said with great certainty: "Tibbers will never disappear."

Suddenly!

Annie's outstretched palm was covered with Nanli fire, which stuck to Tybok's skin and penetrated into his body.

The dark flames melted, and the fire of Nanli surged in Taibok's body.

Annie felt the resentment and struggle in Tybok's heart, as well as a familiar aura hidden deep in his soul.

It's Tibbers!

A faint smile appeared on Annie's face. She hated the feeling of loss.

Once, she lost her mother, which had a great impact on her. The feeling of powerlessness and pain made her unable to forget it.

She didn't want to experience that feeling again.

Therefore, Anne does not want to lose Tibbers.

When her father, Gregory, was busy with life, it was Tibbs who accompanied her through those days.

They play together and share each other's joys and sorrows.

Tibbs is more than just a teddy bear to Annie, he is her closest friend and family member.

Now, when Annie felt Tibos's breath again, she was more determined to deliver the fire of Nanli to Tibok's body.

What about demons?

With the help of strength given by Uncle Huo Jixing, Annie will rescue Tibbers.

Within a moment, Tybok's shadow bear shrank in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a look of horror appeared on its ferocious face.

Obviously, Tybok noticed that Tibbers's consciousness was recovering and he was reconnecting with Annie.

Is this the human bond?

Taibok looked at his huge demon body, purified by the fire of Nanli, and felt an inexplicable emotion.

It was Tibbers who was interfering with him, but he was unable to resist in the cage of fire.

Just when Tybok gave up, his fate changed.

He smelled a familiar scent appearing in his perception, not far away.

Not His Majesty Mordekaiser, but his former companion.

Shadow demon!

Or it can be called——

Raven demon!

A powerful demon who is good at spying on people's hearts, discerning secrets, and making plans.

Guagua! Guagua! Guagua!

The frenzied crows lost control and rushed toward the solid Nanli Suzaku, the flame cage, and Anne who was purifying Tybok.

Nanli Suzaku sensed the danger, and immediately waved his flame wings, instantly setting off waves of flames, burning the flock of feeding crows that rushed towards him.

But the voracious crows that filled the sky were not afraid of death. Under the control of Wu Xin, they surrounded the area where Annie was like a black storm.

Looking from a distance, the red-gold flames were submerged in the endless flock of eating crows. The flames that lit up from time to time were Nanli Suzaku's counterattack.

Then, a figure appeared behind the crowd of eating crows.

It's Swain!

He stretched out his devil's hand, as if controlling everything, and his cold eyes were locked on Annie and Tyback.

"What's going on?"

When Darius saw this, his expression suddenly changed.

He originally thought that Swain was going to help Anne, but now it seems that the demonic power in Swain is also out of control?

"Damn it!"

Just as Darius was about to take action, scarlet demonic lightning suddenly appeared all over his field of vision.

【Touch of Liberation】!

I saw streaks of terrifying scarlet lightning jumping on Swain’s demonic hand.

As he pointed at Annie, Demon Lightning cheered and ran towards the target.

But halfway through, the demonic lightning suddenly disappeared.

"Quiet, this is my body, stop trying to control it!" Swain's tone was extremely cold.

He felt that the demon in his body was trying to take over and take over his body.

The loss of control just now was the work of the devil in his body, who took advantage of his absence and forcibly invaded his body.

"Swain, this is part of the contract we signed, you can't break it!"

A low, hoarse voice sounded from Swain's mouth, seemingly talking to himself.

But the change in his scarlet eyes proved that there were two existences in Swain's body.

"Contract? A devil's contract?"

Hearing this, Swain chuckled lightly, with a hint of joking in his voice, as if he had anticipated the situation before him.

To be precise, when he completed the contract in the battlefield of Placidian, he had foreseen that such a day would come.

"Do you want to break the devil's contract?"

Accompanied by a low voice.

The cold aura belonging to the raven demon rose behind Swain, slowly forming a huge shadow monster in the shape of a raven.

There was a particularly important signature agreement in the devil's contract signed by Swain at that time:

In the future, when necessary, the Raven Demon will borrow Swain's body.

Swain said with disdain: "Are you sure it's borrowing? Not occupying?"

The Raven Demon's face darkened, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes made of shadows.

Then, the completely solidified shadow monster stretched out its dark crow wings, trying to cover Swain's body.

Although he had been sleeping in Swain's body after escaping the seal.

But he was not completely ignorant of the outside world.

In particular, he was deeply afraid of Swain, the former host.

He was just an ordinary human who, with his own power, stirred up the situation of the Noxian Empire and ascended to the position of the leader of Noxus.

He was even able to fight with Leblanc for a while without losing.

But now, the Raven Demon felt that everything was about to belong to him.

He would welcome His Majesty Mordekaiser's arrival as the leader of Noxus.

Swain quietly watched the folded crow wings and sensed the intention of the Raven Demon.

"Patience is a rare virtue, but it has its limits."

Since the Raven Demon still doesn't listen to his advice, then don't blame him.

Swain lowered his eyes, looked at the old coat that had been with him through hundreds of battles, and reached out to take it off gently.

The old coat left his body, and on his somewhat old body, an extremely exquisite rune array appeared.

And in the center of the rune array, there was a fragment that was shining with a strange glow.

[Reverence Fragment]!

The largest fragment left after the world rune [Reverence] was broken.

Swain exhaled lightly and pressed his palm lightly on the [Reverence Fragment].

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The strange glow was diffused, and an invisible force slowly seeped out and began to fill Swain's body, suppressing the power of the Raven Demon.

"Is this the power of the world rune?"

The Raven Demon reacted immediately, and horror appeared in his shadow eyes.

Swain did not answer, but gently pressed the [Reverence Fragment] with his palm to mobilize the power of the world rune.

Compared to Darius's tyrannical fragment.

The rune power in the Reverence Fragment was much milder, but it also brought him a little pain.

After the Rune War, all the residents of Runeland seemed to be eager for power.

Even the few people who were highly respected in Mount Targon were no exception.

When they found that they could get the power of the Astral Spirit by flattering, they did not hesitate at all.

And the source of the power of the Reverence Rune is the reverence from the heart.

Coincidentally, Swain enjoyed the reverence of the Noxians in the Noxian Empire.

"When did you.!?"

The Raven Demon continued to speak, wanting to do something.

This time, Swain finally responded to him, but he looked at him coldly.

The demonic ability of the Raven Demon is to spy on people's hearts and see through secrets.

But this guy rarely uses it. Instead, he likes to use his shadow power to defeat the enemy and enjoy the pleasure of victory.

"You often sleep, and even when you wake up, you use your shadow power. How could you know my secret plan!"

With the impact of the power of the reverence fragment, the body of the Raven Demon gradually became illusory.

He was fighting with Swain for the body.

But unfortunately, this guy's will was weaker than expected under Swain's impact.

"Will is the weapon, so you are completely unarmed."
