Chapter 477 The completion of Hecarim's rout rune circle
Boom!
The roar of the deep purple thundercloud storm, like thousands of horned dragons, firmly suppresses the surging black fog.
Following the movements of the war masons, a huge and complex rune array slowly took shape conforming to the wall of the well.
The appearance of the rune array is round, like a stone disk, with a diameter of nearly twenty meters.
The material is a mixture of black stone from [Noxtra] and special metals, which also gives the rune circle the stability and durability.
Many small runes are engraved on the concave edge.
These runes are arranged in an orderly manner, shining like swimming seaweed, outlining a mottled halo, bridging the space passage.
Overall, the design of the rune array is exquisite and complex, as eye-catching as a work of art.
And Hecarim, who was waiting silently in the black mist, seemed to feel that the space passage was gradually shrinking, and heard the wail coming from the black mist.
He couldn't help it any longer, and the broad-bladed halberd in his hand lit up with a green will-o'-the-wisp, like a beacon in the underworld, reflecting the faces of the surrounding Iron Regiment members.
The dark mist rose one after another, and Hecarim led the Iron Legion to take advantage of the momentum, rushing towards the land where thunder was raging like a torrent of steel.
At the same time, a hazy will and order came from the black mist, driving the slaves to take action.
There is only one goal, destroy the rune circle that is being completed.
Da da! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
The sound of iron hoofs that resounded through the sky struck the space passage, and the sharp blades glowing with green will-o'-the-wisps reflected the faces of skeletons wearing armor.
Under the protection of the black mist of the Shadow Island, the Dread Knights of the Iron Order were fearless and entered a state of charge against the thunderstorm.
“The war is eternal!”
Hecarim roared loudly, and the broad-bladed halberd in his hand slashed through the air, leaving traces of faint green, and smashing the falling thunder and lightning. .
Using him as an arrow, the iron ball rushed into the thunder storm like an arrow off the string.
Their brave figures shuttled through the thunder in the sky, crushing the violent thunder into countless tiny arcs of electricity.
Even if the Dread Knights are seriously injured, as long as they do not fall immediately under the thunder, the gloomy black mist will heal them instantly.
Only a moment.
Hecarim and the Iron Legion under his command were already approaching the exit of the space passage, and could see the rune array outside at close range.
The war masons also saw the ghostly scene in front of them, but they were unmoved and still completed the rune array in an orderly manner according to their own rhythm.
within the space channel.
Huo Jixing ignored the black fog around him and laughed softly when he saw Hecarim and the Iron Legion entering the trap he had set.
He reached out and touched the spiritual wind in front of him, blowing the cloud patterns on the surface of the sword blade.
Buzz!
The spiritual wind seemed to be alive, feeling Huo Jixing's will, and whistled softly, directly into the thunderclouds in the sky.
Then, Huo Jixing's expression straightened and he looked at Hecarim, who was wielding a broad-bladed halberd.
The index and middle fingers are put together, aiming at the target and the group of iron behind them, and let out a light drink.
“Destroy!”
In an instant!
The thundercloud storm in the space channel was instantly awakened and surged wildly.
Many thunder and lightning have their own blade forms, turning into deep purple sword light and falling from the sky.
Within the scope of this thunderstorm, Hecarim, who was charging, was the first to notice the changing thunder and lightning, and realized something was wrong.
But before he could react, those thunderous sword lights arrived in an instant, covering the torrent of steel like a heavy rain.
The green will-o'-the-wisp was annihilated directly in front of the brilliant Tianwei.
The solid armor and strong body were also directly broken into pieces.
Then the skeletal war horses stepped down, and together they were annihilated in the light of the thunder sword.
Even if the black mist comes in, trying to stop the raging thunder sword light and trying to heal the Dread Knight's injuries, it will be of no avail.
They were at the center of the thunder storm, and the falling thunder sword light was like a pouring torrent washing the steel torrent.
Facing the seal of the rune circle, Hecarim and the Iron Legion had no choice.
The gloomy black mist drove them into the trap set by Huo Jixing.
Then, thunderous sword light raging all over the sky came, and the Iron Group instantly suffered heavy casualties.
These fear knights who followed Hecarim and trampled on the living fell down in droves and remained in the thunderstorm forever.
【Rampage】!
Hecarim looked furious as he watched the Dread Knight under his command fall.
He waved the broad-bladed halberd brazenly, and the green will-o'-the-wisp whimpered, shattering the thunderous sword light falling all around.
Immediately afterwards, he looked coldly at Huo Jixing, who was driving the thunder, and at the rune array, with his four hooves tapping the ground quickly.
“I am above death!”
[Destroying Charge]!
Hecarim roared, holding the broad-bladed halberd upside down, his hideous body facing the thunderous sword light, and moved forward quickly, leaving behind a trail of shadows.
“Death!”
He rushed to Huo Jixing, his right arm seemed to be holding a mountain, and he slowly swung the broad-bladed halberd in his hand and slashed at the target.
It looks very slow, but it seems like a green meteor streaking across the sky.
Clang!
Huo Jixing stretched out his sword fingers and resisted the falling broad-bladed halberd with unusual ease.
The green will-o'-the-wisp that followed the broad blade was quickly destroyed by the power of thunder.
"Hecarim, your power is still standing still!"
Huo Jixing looked at Hecarim wearing a demon helmet and shook his head slightly.
Compared with Bilgewater, although Hecarim's power has increased, it still remains in the realm of legend.
And he is in a state of breaking through the boundaries of legend.
“Go!”
Huo Jixing's eyes were slightly cold, and a purple sword light burst out from his sword finger. He instantly flicked the broad-bladed halberd and shot it towards Hecarim's body.
Click!
The seemingly slender purple sword light hit Hecarim accurately, easily shattering the green armor he was wearing, revealing the bones inside.
Unable to withstand the power of the thunder, Hecarim continued to retreat and reunited with the approaching Iron Legion.
He looked down at the broken armor and the electric light swimming on the skeletal body, and his soul trembled slightly.
It's just that he no longer has the right to choose.
Hecarim used the shadow power in his body to erase the light of the lightning sword. He looked back at his subordinates who had followed him for thousands of years, and a look of struggle disappeared in his eyes.
They are slaves of the black mist, attached to the Shadow Island, and will inhabit this nightmarish land forever.
“Shadow is coming!”
[Shadow Impact]!
Hecarim commanded his Iron Legion and charged towards the Horde.
Boom!
In an instant, the billowing black mist merged into the bodies of Hecarim and the members of the Iron Legion, and the sound of iron hooves trampling faintly overwhelmed the thunder in the sky.
Holding a broad-bladed halberd, Hecarim took the lead and charged towards Huojixing again.
The Dread Knight behind him was like a longing ghost, following Hecarim closely, as if they were integrated into each other.
"It's still the same!"
Huo Jixing looked at the very familiar scene in front of him and shrugged his shoulders.
He remained motionless, quietly looking at Hecarim and the Iron Legion rushing over.
As he approached, a terrifying shadow shock wave shot out from Hecarim's broad-bladed halberd.
It seems that he wants to chop Huo Jixing and the rune circle behind him into pieces.
Seeing this, Huo Jixing let out a breath. The West Pole White Tiger behind him lowered his eyes, and the aura of war fell from his platinum pupils. "Broken!"
The sword finger rose, and the power of Xiji Gengjin instantly covered the area in front of him.
Whether it is Hecarim with his front hooves raised and wielding a broad-bladed halberd, or the Dread Knight with a cold expression.
Under the wash of the fighting spirit, weapons and armor scattered like gravel.
Then the exposed bones and the black mist hidden in the body melted.
The space passage trembles, and the black mist wails.
The originally raging black fog, like waves at ebbing tide, quickly retreated to the edge of Shadow Island, leaving a large blank space.
Huo Jixing stared at Hecarim, who was slowly dissipating in the fighting spirit, and noticed his malicious eyes.
“Do you hate me?”
He didn't care. With a thought, the aura of war overwhelmed Hecarim's last persistence and took away all life in the space channel.
Just like it used to be in Bilgewater.
The Dread Knights who followed Hecarim are experiencing complete death.
It was not only their bodies that perished, but also their imprisoned souls.
“Huh?”
Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, as if he noticed something, and looked into the space passage.
In the white-gold aura of war, he could faintly see hazy figures, cheering for joy.
"Is it the soul of the Dread Knight?"
This was a scene he had never seen before in Bilgewater.
“Xuanwu Stars!”
Huo Jixing whispered softly, realizing the key point.
Immediately, he saw these hazy souls bowing to him to thank him, and then performed ancient military salutes to the black fog in the Shadow Island.
Hecarim, who was supposed to die, re-condensed his body in the black mist of the Shadow Isles, a ghostly hybrid of man and beast.
He raised his eyes and looked at the space passage, and could feel that the auras of the fearful knights under his command had completely disappeared.
I don’t know why, but a hazy joy suddenly surged deep in his heart.
Although it disappeared in an instant, it gave Hecarim a little more humanity.
Da da! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Iron hooves beat on the ground, Hecarim wandered on the forbidden coast of the Shadow Isles, and the black mist slowly crawled behind him.
A new Dread Knight is being born, following in Hecarim's footsteps, walking around the space passage.
This time, they no longer entered the space channel rashly, but looked at Huo Jixing and the almost completed rune array.
Time passes slowly.
With the efforts of the war masons, the formation of the rune array is gradually coming to an end.
"Lord Huo Jixing, we have reached the last step, you can come out."
Hearing the voice of the war mason, Huo Jixing looked behind him and noticed the huge and delicate The rune array, nodded slightly.
He looked at the thundercloud storm covering the space passage, his eyes fell on the spiritual wind swimming inside, and he stretched out his hand.
The spirit wind leaped lightly and came to Huo Jixing with thunderous sword light.
Clang!
The spiritual wind is sheathed, and the thunder is extinguished.
Before Huo Jixing left, he took a deep look at the dark mist outside the space passage and sensed that there was a lot of terrifying aura lingering nearby.
Perhaps due to the shock caused by repelling Hecarim and the Iron Legion, Black Mist did not see any movement in the following time.
"I hope I can truly seal this space access." He thought to himself.
Huo Jixing left the space channel and returned to the soul shaft.
The war masons immediately stepped forward to perform the final installation of the rune array.
The core part of the rune array in front of you is a complex magic array, consisting of nearly ten small rune arrays.
In the hands of the war masons, these small rune arrays are interconnected in an exquisite way to form a large and complex network.
When the magic circle enters the activated state, these small rune magic circles flash rapidly, and a lot of magic energy surges, slowly driving the rune magic circle.
Waiting, Swain stepped forward at the right time, reached out to touch the magic circle, and the power of the [Fragments of Reverence] embedded in his body was injected into the rune magic circle.
Boom!
A majestic wave of magic suddenly appeared, sweeping through the soul shaft, causing the walls to tremble.
In the eyes of Huo Jixing and others, the rune array gradually stabilized after experiencing the initial shaking.
Eventually, a hazy and illusory energy field gathered, covering the space passage and blocking the black fog of Shadow Island.
"Is it done?"
Huo Jixing stared at the complicated rune array in front of him, with a strange brilliance in his eyes.
While inside the space channel, he could not see the shock brought by the rune array.
Now, looking at the rune circle shining with magical light, he felt the heritage of the Noxus Empire for the first time.
"Well, it's almost done." Darius said side by side.
“But His Majesty Swain will need to fill the rune array with the power of the world’s runes every once in a while.”
Huo Jixing looked at Swain who left the rune array. Yin, nodded slightly.
Now that the time bomb buried under the capital has been dealt with, it is time to clean out the roses that pierced the blood of the empire.
The depths of the dark island.
The top of a lifeless hill.
The shovel man looked at the space passage that appeared on the forbidden coast and whispered softly, with a trace of expectation and curiosity in his eyes.
"A place beyond the Shadow Island?"
"Perhaps I can ask them for help?"
He did not act immediately, but looked towards the forbidden coast, Hecarim never left.
The shovel man recalled the thunderstorm that filled the space channel, and understood that the connection on the other side was not simple.
He had dealt with Hecarim before and knew how difficult and cruel this guy was.
Likes to trample the souls of the living, spread the curse of the black mist along the coastline, and expand the territory of Shadow Island.
“But the space passage seems to have been sealed by the other side.”
The shovel man looked down at the glass bottle around his neck, sighed softly, and decided to temporarily put aside his curiosity about the outside world. .
When he once fell into despair, the glass bottle seemed to be a beacon in the darkness, giving him a glimmer of hope.
In order to save the dead on Shadow Island, Shovel Man has been using his own advantages and power.
He is active on the Shadow Island, freeing the souls of the dead.
Even in order to end the curse, he had to use the curse.
His self-contradictory approach filled his heart with struggle and pain.
Even so, the shovel man still felt powerless in the face of the black mist and curse of Shadow Island.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the shovel man's expression changed, and he turned to look at the core area of the island, his eyes solemn.
