Chapter 460 Demon Sublimation: The Battle between Old and New
“Who to choose?”
Hearing the question coming from his ears, Darius looked at Huo Jixing in surprise, thinking secretly.
Are you so confident?
Immediately, Darius thought of the introduction about Huo Jixing's deeds in the intelligence, and had to admit that Huo Jixing did have such strength.
But deep down he was hesitant.
Although Darius is the Hand of Noxus, he has always led the Imperial battle group to fight on the frontal battlefield, and rarely has the opportunity to fight alone.
Even if he had fought against Sejuani, it was the only head-on fight he had in his career as a general.
At that time, he was still at a disadvantage, but he could only stop Sejuani's frost storm from ravaging the battlefield.
Now Darius has to face the legendary ancient evil and the Spider Queen who believes in the Spider God.
Even though he had seen many big scenes before, at this moment, he felt somewhat hesitant and nervous.
Darius looked at Evelyn and Elise who were exuding terrifying pressure in the sky. After pondering for a while, he was about to answer.
"Painful feeling!"
Suddenly, a low roar sounded in front of the array, as shocking as thunder.
Sion dropped the black giant ax he was holding tightly, holding the ferocious head in his hands, and his painful and suppressed roars echoed in the underground castle.
And the scarlet energy aura surrounding his body swept across like a hurricane, blowing up the dust.
The air is full of the smell of blood, and the hot temperature bakes people's hearts.
“Blood!”
“Blood!”
“Hot. And angry!”
Sion raised his head and roared, and the deafening sound echoed over the underground castle.
Then, a substance-like halo rippled out from the furnace around Sion's waist, seemingly trying to control Sion.
"Blood is swallowing me up!"
Sion's voice was full of weakness, and his red eyes were filled with a look of madness and loss of control.
His body slowly began to tremble, and his palms the size of cattail leaf fans fluttered wildly, inciting the nearby soldiers of the Trifali Legion to fly away.
Sion tried to resist, but everything seemed so powerless.
The bloody halo is like a tidal surge, covering Sion's towering body like a hill.
The remaining will in the scarlet eyes almost collapsed under the erosion of the cruel intention of killing.
Sion lowered his head and panted heavily, his eyes swept across the soldiers of the Trifali Legion, and then fell on Darius, roaring.
He raised the discarded black battle ax, stirred up the Soul Forge, ignored the obstacles along the way, and rushed towards Darius resolutely.
"Hunger is growing!"
"But it's not me!"
Sion's sudden loss of control exceeded everyone's expectations and instantly disrupted the array of the Trifari Legion.
Darius looked around and noticed Sion running over, and his expression suddenly changed.
“What’s going on?”
Before the operation, they had already checked the status of Sion and the Bloody Warrior in advance, and there was nothing abnormal.
But now, Sion is like a wild beast that has lost its mind, rushing towards him crazily.
“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.
It seems that the tree belongs to Vladimir’s power, but didn’t he fall into his own 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.
Hearing this, Darius's eyes flashed with sharp light, and he understood immediately.
He turned to look at Huo Jixing and said with an extremely solemn tone.
"I need to intercept Sion, otherwise the Trifali Legion's array will be directly scattered."
After Sion caused the turmoil, the core members of the Black Rose who appeared in front of the underground castle took quick action.
The fact that these core members of Black Rose can appear here shows that they are very capable.
Each one is an elite carefully selected by the pale lady.
They turned into a black wave and surged towards the soldiers of Trifari Legion who were in chaos.
Huo Jixing nodded to Darius and looked at the threat coming from the dome.
He originally planned to suppress Sion personally.
But Elise didn’t want him to do this, and her scarlet eyes were ready to move.
Perhaps it was the pale lady’s instruction, or perhaps Elise wanted to regain her dignity as a queen.
Huo Jixing had to face the threat brought by Elise.
However, Evelin’s attitude was a bit ambiguous.
She seems to be waiting for an opportunity to act, but she is always hiding in the shadows. No one knows what she is doing.
“Did you move your hands and feet?” Swain stared at the pale lady in front of him.
As his words fell, the surrounding crowd of frantic crows felt the anger of their master.
They became more restless, with black wings dancing in the air and making sharp sounds.
The demonic power in Swain ignited like a raging flame, clinging to his old coat, making him look majestic and terrifying.
“Vladimir, as a member of the Black Rose, has been immersed in blood magic for so long, we will definitely leave some tricks behind.”
The pale lady did not veto and directly admitted that she behavior.
Under the situation faced by the Noxus 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 front of the Demacians and completed a fatal blow to King Jarvan I of Demacia.
However, he died in the Demacia War as the Hand of Noxus, causing the battle group to be damaged and retreat in panic.
When Sion's broken body was recovered, one hand still held the crown of the King of Demacia.
The Noxus Empire held an elaborate state funeral for Theon to mourn his sacrifice.
In the end, Sion's body was buried under a towering monument as his eternal symbol.
Fifty years have passed, and Sion's tomb has been opened again.
Because in the years since Sion's death, Noxus' dominance has waned.
Even if many heroes of the Empire, led by Kled, stepped forward to succeed, they could not reverse the decline.
The current leader of the empire, Brown Darkwill, is willing to restore the lost glory of the empire at any cost.
Later, Black Rose appeared as a mysterious society under Darkwill, and used forbidden magic on Sion -
Blood magic during the Darkin War!
Resurrect this long-dead hero and offer him to the Imperial Lord Commander.
Darkwill could not refuse this gift.
Subsequently, Sion came back to life under the transformation of blood magic and witchcraft. His unnatural bloodthirst drove him, making him unaware of any pain.
The reborn Sion is like a living battering ram, breaking through all the enemies of Noxus in front of him.
The victory and glory he brought were even greater than during his lifetime.
Sion could not be controlled, killing enemy and friendly alike mercilessly, and those soldiers who were forced to fight beside him began to flee without a fight.
In the end, Darkwill felt that the glory of the empire had returned and ordered that Sion be reburied.
Nearly a hundred warriors sacrificed their lives to restrain Sion. Finally, with the help of Black Rose, Sion was tied up with chains and dragged back to the Immortal Fortress.
Without the slaughter, the blood magic that supported him quickly overwhelmed his mind, leaving only an all-devouring rage. Sion's bloody roar finally calmed down as he was buried beneath the giant statue of himself, sealed again.
He endured years of torture under his own statue, remaining half-dead.
When the blazing sunlight merges into the tomb, Sion's tomb opens again.
The Noxus Empire has ushered in a new era. Darkwill is gone and 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, Swain suddenly spoke softly, his calm face looking like he had wisdom in hand.
The pale lady looked at the calm Swain, and there was an unpleasant feeling in her heart.
Without waiting for a reaction, Swain in front of him stretched out the demon's left hand, as if to hold her life.
“Now, it’s our turn!”
Swain stepped forward, and the crimson demonic power spurted out from his body.
"Death generously, pale lady!"
[Devil Sublimation]!
Stab it!
Behind Swain, a pair of dark wings that covered the sky tore apart the old coat and soared into the sky.
Bursts of scarlet demonic power condensed into feather shapes, dotted on the wings.
The flock of frantic crows surrounding Swain made a hoarse cry, like the god of death wielding a scythe, cutting the flesh.
Poof!
The crimson demon arm pushed away the eating crow in front of him.
Swain looked at the pale lady with a cold expression, and a depressing and suffocating atmosphere enveloped the underground castle.
“Power is my only mentor!”
【Touch of Liberation】!
The majestic demonic power condenses in the palm of your hand.
As Swain aimed at the pale lady, it suddenly turned into multiple streaks of bloody lightning, 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 when he came up, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Pale magical power suddenly appeared, mixed with purple light, and outlined delicate shields to resist the falling bloody lightning.
"It is indeed worthy of my caution."
"But you should not come here, nor should you be curious to explore what is behind it."
The pale lady has cold eyes. , a biting murderous intent filled his pupils.
【Phantom Chain】!
In the pale light, the purple energy gradually melted, and a bright golden brilliance appeared, just like the stamens in the center of a flower blooming.
Immediately afterwards, the golden flower stamens danced, weaving a gorgeous and exquisite chain, carrying a phantom, penetrating the invading flock of eating crows.
A resentful and shrill wail sounded.
The phantom chain is like an extremely sharp spear, connecting the eating crows one by one and stabbing straight towards Swain.
Clang!
The black cutter and the black ax held by Sion clashed fiercely on the battlefield, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Each attack seemed to completely tear the surrounding air apart. Ripple-like vibrations spread to the center of the battlefield, attracting strong winds and clearing out a battlefield.
Darius's body was upright, like a steel fortress, resisting Sion's wild attack.
He stared firmly at Sion, who was in madness and venting his power.
Immediately take a deep breath and mobilize the violent power in your body.
boom!
The power of violence surged, and the scarlet light blessed Darius' body like a substance.
Faintly, Darius' muscles can be seen expanding, his strength doubled, and the cloak he wears automatically moves without wind.
Sion roared, swinging his ax wildly, trying to penetrate Darius' defense.
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.
Crash!
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!
A dull clashing sound sounded.
The black cutter easily cut through Sion's leg armor, leaving a hideous scar on the stitched armor 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 flash of memory appearing on his crazy face.
This is the magical rune power belonging to the Black Cutter!
It is the weapon that once accompanied him!
"My hands are stained with blood, I remember this!"
"Noxus. My everything."
Sion suddenly raised his face, his hands full of madness and war. A trace of clarity flashed through Yi's eyes.
“Who is inside me?”
His voice was low and hoarse, mixed with fear and anger.
He could feel an unknown force swimming inside his body, centered on the Soul Forge, trying to control his body and will.
“Come out and die!”
Sion roared loudly, venting the fanatical 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 the empty tomb again.”
Sion fought instinctively, but the clarity in his eyes became more and more obvious. Start fighting for control of your body.
“I must live.”
Sion roared angrily, and black blood poured into his body flowed from his copper bell-like eyes and nostrils.
The strange-looking black blood slid down his cheeks, corroding the solid ground.
At the same time, Sion's corpse-like body exuded a rotting smell.
"I have seen you before"
He opened his hands and looked at the pale lady in the sky, understanding who the source of the blood that caused the body to lose control was.
"Noxus told me"
"The Empire, above all else!"
Sion held the broken black 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 giant ax, he will definitely bring Walk the lives of Black Rose core members.
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.
