Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 927: Die, Azir!

"Leen!!"

Xiweier walked forward quickly and checked on Li En's condition.

Although he was extremely confident in front of Nasus before, he was still a darkin after all.

Even though he had witnessed Lee En's strength with his own eyes, his worry for the one he loved was a natural emotion.

"Okay, don't worry honey, I'm fine."

Letting Sivir examine him, Li En raised his hand and gently tidied Sivir's hair, which was a little messy and stained with sweat and dust after the battle.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear."

"It wasn't that hard at all. Both the Bakay herd and Renekton were restrained by Charikar. It's better to say that I was able to vent my anger that had been pent up for a long time!"

Rubbing her cheek against Li En's palm, Shiver showed a happy smile on her face.

"Oh dear, that 'Darkspawn' who came to you..."

"Here it is."

Li En gently stroked his side with his left hand.

"Om~!"

The space opened up, and three figures appeared in the eyes of Sivir and Nasus.

The figures of Jinhong and Yuebai surrounded an evil dark red figure on the left and right. A hazy blood light surrounded the dark red figure, as if the other party was in some state.

"This is?"

As for the figures of Jinhong and Yuebai, Xiweier had already heard Li En mention them in advance, but that dark red evil figure didn't look like the dog-like Darkin from before.

“That dark red figure is the true identity of the previous Darkin. Her name is Nayafili, and she surrendered after realizing the difference in power.

But to make sure she's safe enough, I gave her a 'shackle,' or power, and now she's absorbing it."

"This... Li En, you conquered Nayafili!?"

Nasus, who was suppressing Renekton on the side, widened his eyes and looked at Li En in disbelief.

As someone who has survived until the Darkin War, Nasus knows Nayafili's strength very well.

Although the Darkborn today are no longer the 'ascended bodies' that were once infected and mutated by the void, Nayafili is still at the top of the list even among that group of Darkborn.

"No, rather than saying that we have conquered them, it's better to say that we have reached a temporary cooperation intention."

“BOOM~~!!”

The aftermath of Azir and Xerath's battle erupted for the third time, and it was also the most violent one.

Even through the barrier held up by Li En, the intense light made people squint their eyes slightly.

Suppressing the shock in his heart for the moment, Nasus took a look at the dazzling light, then lowered his head and looked at Li En with concern.

"Lord Li En, His Majesty Azir..."

“Don’t worry, although he’s in a bad state, he’s fine.

Honey."

"Ok?"

"Lend me the 'Charikar'."

"Oh well."

Under Nasus's inexplicable emotion, Sivir took off the ring on her right wrist without any hesitation and handed it to Li En.

Reaching out to take the ring, Nasus was about to remind Li En that 'Charikar' could only be used by those with 'ascending bloodline' or pure 'ascending power'.

"Om~!"

A pure golden light shone, and the ring turned into 'Charikar' in Li En's hand.

"This...how is this possible!?"

Facing Nasus's incredulous gaze, Li En smiled politely.

The reason why he can use 'Charikar' so easily is because Li En possesses the 'Power of Star Creation' which is essentially enough to crush the 'Power of Ascension'.

Under this kind of power, even 'Charikar' could not resist being controlled by Li En.

"Okay, dear, just stay here and I'll do the final finishing touches."

"Yeah, okay, be careful!"

"Don't worry, I will."

"Om~!"

Li En's figure wavered and instantly disappeared from the sight of the two.

At the same time, the aftermath of the impact, which had reached its peak, began to gradually weaken.

...

“Crack~!”

"Cough cough cough~!"

Most of the golden armor was shattered, and blood like molten gold was flowing out from the cracks.

The eagle-shaped helmet that Azir had never taken off since he was resurrected through the "Ascension Ceremony" also cracked at this moment, revealing golden eyes.

Hundreds of meters away from him, the coffin shackles on Zerath's body that he had broken had long disappeared at this moment, and only a human figure outlined by pure energy remained in the air.

Although there were no obvious injuries, the tens-meter-tall 'Witch Spirit' had become much dimmer than before.

"Huhuhu~!"

Although his 'ascended body' had gotten rid of the need for air like a mortal, Azir was still breathing heavily, trying to relieve his current condition.

“Hehehahaha~!”

The gloomy laughter was less powerful than before, and Xerath stared at Azir, who looked particularly miserable and embarrassed.

"Finally, I won!"

"Cough cough cough~!"

"Just a... traitor... cough cough cough~!"

"Traitor? Azir, who was the first to betray the other?"

"The agreement between us is that I am not at the 'Ascension Ceremony'..."

"It's too late, Azir, too late...

When you become the Emperor of Shurima, sitting on a high place and roaring to remind me to remember my identity, it's too late! "

"..."

Listening to Xerath's words, memories from long ago began to emerge.

Azir could no longer remember what the argument was about, but he did roar at Xerath, "Don't forget that you are just a slave."

He could no longer remember what Xerath looked like at the time, but he remembered his eyes that revealed complex expressions such as shock, sadness, etc.

The Eagle King looked directly into the traitor's sharp eyes, which dimmed slightly at this moment.

"Did everything start from there?"

"Hehehe!"

"It seems that our Eagle King has remembered!"

"My arrogance and narrow-mindedness blinded me, but now, Xerath, I have no intention of arguing about right and wrong..."

"Hahaha~! That's it. There is no right or wrong in this world. There are only winners and losers!"

"Boom~!"

After delaying for a long time by means of conversation, the prepared arcane lightning finally rushed towards Azir without any warning.

"Om~!"

The golden "power of ascension" emerged and turned into a barrier blocking Azir.

"Boom~!"

“Die, Azir!!”

"Zerath!!"

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

Cracks in the golden barrier spread and grew.

"Bang~!"

The barrier shattered, and Azir raised his arms, trying to make a final resistance.

"Om~!"

The space was torn apart, and a figure no more than two meters tall suddenly appeared in front of Azir.
