Lux's Farewell

Chapter 572 [0566]

Aatrox's narration can only be regarded as an abbreviated version, but even the abbreviated version of Crisis in Runeterra is too exciting for Xin Zhao.

Believe it or not, Xin Zhao needs at least a period of time to think and sort out, so as to fully understand what Aatrox said, and then consider whether to embrace the black mist and become an undead, and follow Aatrox's will to fight with that void fighting.

What he didn't know was that for Aatrox, this was just part of his long experience. In fact, Aatrox still had a lot of ups and downs that he didn't talk about.

After the Battle of Icathia ended and Kalya could no longer insist on presiding over the work, Aatrox was the first group of people who left the empire voluntarily—even in the Shurima Empire in its heyday, only three and a half people were killed. In his eyes, apart from the loving father and strict mother and the silent and reliable Hollock, only Ah Zhi, who has a good relationship with everyone, counts as half a person.

And as Kalya could no longer resist the erosion of the will of the void and fell into a deep sleep, the only thing Aatrox could talk about in the Shurima Empire was Azhi.

It's a pity that although the relationship between the two is passable, their fundamental ideas are very different. After several communications and failed to reach any consensus, Aatrox simply took his elite direct line and left the Shurima Empire.

After leaving the Shurima Empire and establishing a territory in the Kamavia continent, Aatrox found out embarrassingly that he knew nothing about governance. It is not enough to let the conquered territory abide by the will of Aatrox. The local people are not willing to change the way of life they have been familiar with for thousands of years because of a group of foreign conquerors, even if this way of life is in Aatrox. Kex seemed primitive and ignorant.

Aatrox, who has no political skills at all, simply adopted a high-pressure policy. He enacted strict laws, used his legions to implement comprehensive military control, and struck hard at anyone who violated the laws, but the result was not As Aatrox hoped, the general locals changed their customs, but a large number of people began to flee, and the local economy collapsed.

To make matters worse, since Aatrox's warband was very capable and had no supervision after leaving Shurima, they quickly became small local lords, even against Aatrox's orders. He also began to obey the law and contradict it, not taking it seriously—after more than twenty years of chaotic rule, Aatrox finally despaired of his new territory where the livelihood of the people was dying.

At this time, Aatrox was stimulated by the void and was on the verge of dementia. When he summoned the legion and wanted to make another change, but there were very few responders, Aatrox finally went berserk.

The enraged Aatrox killed the warriors who did not follow his orders. During the battle, he found sadly that these brave and invincible warriors who used to fight with him had turned into the fat-headed appearance he hated the most.

Feeling that he could no longer control his emotions, Aatrox left the new territory he conquered disheartened and began to wander aimlessly.

During this period, the once glorious Shurima Empire finally collapsed.

Ixtar left the empire, Weaver Mother left Shurima, Valiva gave up the empire, and the empire reintroduced slavery...

Every time Aatrox tried to inquire about the news of the empire, he got bad news. Over time, he finally completely lost his confidence and sense of belonging to the empire, and with the torment of the will of the void, he gradually became depressed.

Following the example of an old guy, Aatrox also made a weapon, intending to use it as his shelter at the last moment, and while he was running to build this blade, Aatrox encountered a A former colleague, Rebesai, who is also a dark descendant.

This is a character who is completely opposite to Aatrox. He is proficient in magic, likes to play tricks, hates direct competition, and is more interested in the use of magic than in the development of magic. It is said that he has a thin blood of the Shurima royal family. For one thing, he has always been complacent and regarded himself as a member of the royal family.

It's a pity that neither Setaka nor Karya has such a strong plot about blood, so among the many ascenders, Rebesai is also a marginal figure.

Aatrox has always looked down on people like Rebesai, so even if he passed by Rebesai's territory, he had no idea of ​​meeting him—but surprisingly, Rebesai did He took the initiative to find Aatrox with a hot face and a cold ass, and swore by his own blood that he had found a way to restore the glory of the Shurima Empire.

Aatrox has never believed a word of people like Rebesay, but he swears by his own blood, Aatrox finally plans to take a look, so he followed Rebe Sai came to his domain.

It turns out that Rebesai was lying. He never found any way to revive Shurima. For so many years, he has been researching a vicious blood magic, hoping to absorb the power of the same blood for himself through this spell. He used it to trick Aatrox into his own territory, in order to use Aatrox as a material to absorb Aatrox's power.

Rebesai had a good idea and was well prepared, the only problem was that he underestimated Aatrox.

As the most capable group of dark descendants, although Aatrox's magic knowledge is as unreliable as Kalya's combat talent, his magic resistance is not weak at all, and the trap carefully prepared by Rebesai did not trap him. Aatrox, when he was preparing his spells, Aatrox, who escaped from trouble, started the Great Annihilation, holding the almost completed Darkin Demon Sword and trying to find him desperately.

Anxious Rebesai could only choose to release his cannon fodder to delay time. In order to delay the difficult Aatrox, he sent the most considerate experimental assistant and housekeeper from a certain kingdom in the Kamavia continent. The proton prince Vladimir, with his well-prepared puppet, went to resist Aatrox together.

then……

Vladimir seized the opportunity and decisively chose the backstab.

It is very difficult for the Darkborn to kill each other, but it doesn't matter. As an experimental assistant, Vladimir has already learned this blood magic to seven or eight points--in the end, he turned back on his master and absorbed Rebesai's blood magic. The power of the Darkborn.

However, because he has not mastered the core technology, Vladimir can only achieve limited self-innovation on the issue of immortality, and cannot live forever like a real darkborn.

In order to make up for this problem, he resolutely began to curry favor with Aatrox, hoping that this stronger darkborn would bring him along, but unfortunately, Aatrox had no interest in this kind of thing. After witnessing the death of Rebesai , he finally left here silently.

Aatrox, who was running around for the manufacture of the Darkborn Demon Sword, soon left the devastated land under the rule of Rebesai, intending to completely seal himself after completing the forging of the weapon. Tox also rarely felt a kind of hopeless exhaustion.

Wherever he saw, compared with the once prosperous Shurima, it was like a wasteland. The proud Aatrox felt that everything he saw was not pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't bear to see it. The world was a bit bleak to him.

Then, just when he heard that there was a god who was good at forging in Freljord, and he planned to go there to complete the last step of forging his magic sword, Aatrox, passing by the Immortal Fortress, felt the breath of the underworld for the first time.

When Rebesey died, Aatrox had already clearly felt the silence of the death of all things, but unless the darkborn find a way to fade their immortality, they have no way to embrace death. Aatrox has a few He approached the dead silence very curiously, and was shocked to discover the soul channel that penetrates the realm of life and death inside the Immortal Fortress.

Aatrox wanted to go into that passage to see.

Coincidentally, in the Immortal Bastion, Aatrox witnessed a rebellion for the second time - the Pale Lady under the tyrant Morde Kaiser betrayed him, not only actively attracted the rebels, but also cut off his soul and the world Due to the relationship between the armor, Mordekaiser was exiled to his kingdom of the dead, and taking this opportunity, Aatrox also entered the world of the dead for the first time.

Then, Mordekaiser was out of luck.

According to Mordekaiser's calculations, being exiled to the underworld is also part of the plan, where he will accumulate power and make those powerful souls his pious and immortal warriors and mages, through which he can conquer the present world, the spirit world, and the endless world world!
However, his plan was just getting started when Aatrox broke into the underworld and disrupted everything.

Mordekaiser has nothing to do with the immortal Aatrox, but if Aatrox leaves the underworld, there is a way to destroy his armor that anchors the world. In this case, he is forced to fight Aatrox An agreement was reached that each party would control a part of the underworld and harvest part of the souls.

Mordekaiser, who was committed to conquering the world, wanted all kinds of souls, and Aatrox looked down on those weak guys. Since then, in addition to the kingdom of the dead, there is also a land of the undead in the underworld.

Aatrox, who entered the underworld, was pleasantly surprised to find that the erosion of the void had finally stopped here. It seemed that he could collect those great heroic spirits here, and then complete a great revenge, but he didn't know how long he had been in the underworld. After that, Aatrox found helplessly that those extraordinary people seemed more willing to accept death calmly. They would follow the god of death to the underworld, and then die naturally. The form can leave three melons and two dates.

Realizing this, Aatrox started his wandering again, and this time, he made a very surprising discovery.

Several souls who were targeted by the god of death have been led into the underworld, but they returned to the present world in the kingdom of the dead in a strange way-in a sense, this is the resurrection of the dead!
Aatrox quickly found the place where the incident happened. After breaking the barrier between the underworld and the real world and returning to Runeterra, he was surprised to find that he was on an archipelago at this time, and the kind from the hands of the god of death... The power to regain the soul comes from the magical spring water on the island, the water of life in Fuguang Island.

The arrival of Aatrox brought a lot of trouble to Blessed Island. After the death aura from the underworld overflowed and landed on the water of life, it strangely formed a palpitating black mist. According to Aatrox's plan, Perception, being in the black mist, seems to be not much different from being in the underworld.

The residents of the Blessed Islands quickly discovered Aatrox, and although a heated exchange broke out between the two sides, Aatrox eventually expelled most of the residents of the Blessed Islands, and then occupied the precious water of life here.

A small number of people joined Aatrox's command.

(And those residents of Fuguang Island who were expelled called themselves Hylia, in memory of their lost hometown. They studied magic in order to regain their hometown. They were the first people to discover the world runes. In a sense According to the above, the outbreak of Rune Wars has a lot to do with Aatrox.)
On Blessed Island, Aatrox opened and strengthened the second channel between the underworld and the present world, and created a black mist through the reaction of the aura of death and the water of life, and used the black mist to find those who could enter his eyes The strong, let them enter the undead to prepare for the future void expedition.

And among these undead, the guy with the strongest fighting power at the moment is named Viego - in order to save his wife, he found the legendary Blessed Island, but when he arrived here, his wife Ysur However, De has lost the chance of rescue. In this case, he accepted the trial of the undead and made a wish of "hoping to resurrect his lover".

Aatrox accepted his prayer, and after Viego passed the test, not only reluctantly sent Isolde's soul that had not completely dissipated back to the present world, but also handed over part of the control of the black mist to Fiego, let him look for the scattered souls of Isolde, and at the same time set off Soul Eater Night with black mist, looking for those souls worthy of being sent back to the undead.

Why would the Black Mist "cooperate with Noxus' actions"?
That's because LeBlanc and Vladimir, two guys who know a little about Aatrox, took the risk to find Aatrox and said that "Demacia has souls worth collecting."

In Bilgewater before, Tam's partner was Morde Kaiser who did not want to see Aatrox's power expand further and break the balance of the underworld. Tam used Morde Kaiser's power to save Planck from directly Death, so as to prevent his soul from falling into the hands of Aatrox and become the help of his subordinates. Mordekaiser does not believe that Aatrox is out to avenge the void. In his opinion, this guy is clearly to conquer the world, and There is no difference in myself!
But unfortunately, due to Karya's involvement, Mordekaiser's calculation failed, Plank died under Sarah's hands, and his soul finally fell into the hands of Aatrox.

Unknowingly, Aatrox has accumulated more than a thousand years of power in the undead place of the underworld. Under his command, there are many names that Kalya sounds familiar——Yorick, Foye Ge, Thresh, Karthus, Planck...

Even after the Shurima Empire was completely hopeless, a few dark descendants who didn't know where to go also entered the undead land.

In this way, Aatrox, who has been wandering all the way in a place that no one knows, finally quietly accumulated an incomparably huge power by chance and coincidence.

　Hahahaha, filled a lot of holes!
　　Failure to start again, encountering betrayal, discovering the underworld, conquering Blessed Island... The more I write, the more I feel that Aatrox is the protagonist.

　　Aatrox represents the "Shadow Islands Line" of the Shurima Empire. In addition, there are Kamavia Lines and Southern Shurima Lines. The story is still very, very long!
