"I'm sorry, Chen Ce..." Sejuani stroked her hair in embarrassment, but she couldn't help but smile. "Actually, you really don't need to be afraid. That demon just slaughtered a few of the Furado tribe. His strength may not be that strong."

"I'm not alarmist." Chen Ce frowned.

But Sejuani was still full of confidence: "We have sentries in Winter's Claw. If the devil really comes, the sentries will blow the horn - look, the horn hasn't sounded yet? This proves that the devil is still here. Not here yet, we have plenty of time to prepare for the war."

"Sentinels are useless." Chen Ce gradually lowered his tone and looked very serious. "By the time the sentry finds him, you won't even have a chance to escape."

"No, no, no, you have to believe in our battle——"

Boom!

A sudden loud noise interrupted Sejuani's words.

Something black fell to the ground—right in the middle of the crowd.

Everyone looked at the black spherical object in unison.

Then, a scream broke the silence of the tribe.

"Human, human head——!"

Boom-!

There was another loud noise in the distance, and then the whole earth trembled.

rumbling...

There was an avalanche.Just because a terrifying huge figure waved a sword over there.

There is no doubt that that is the opponent Rayast is most looking forward to.

[Aatrox! ! ! 】

Laast yelled crazily in his mind, while Chen Ce quickly kicked away a member of the Winter's Claw tribe next to him who was still in a daze.

"What are you still doing, run away!"

In an instant, the crowd began to flee.

And Chen Ce also felt that his heart was beating faster - he had not felt this kind of adrenaline surge for a long time.

It is no exaggeration to say that this enemy is the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered - even one of the strongest in the entire Rune Land.

If he were to fight alone, even Syndra might not be his opponent...

However... when it comes to fighting alone, Aatrox also has a very scary characteristic - if you want to encircle and suppress him, you'd better make sure that every participant is strong enough.

The human wave tactic has no effect on him.

For him, the more weak mortals, the better.

His blood magic can turn all flesh and blood for his own use, and weak mortals will only become his mobile blood packs in battle...

This is also the main reason why Chen Ce is eager to drive everyone away.

The odds of winning were already slim, and he didn't want to carry a heavy burden again.

"Sejuani, take your clan members and run as far away as possible." Chen Ce tightened his grip on the giant scythe, and the Darkin's energy quickly enveloped him. "Ai Xi, you retreat to a distance and wait and see what happens. If you have a chance, shoot a few arrows to assist me. If you don't have a chance, run away."

"...Okay!" In this situation, no matter how entangled the two girls were, they had to obey the order quickly.

Now is not the time to talk about "if I don't leave, I will fight with you."

Maybe Chen Ce is not the best suited to lead a crowd, but there can only be one leader now - the delay of questioning orders will only end the game for everyone.

The two girls quickly ran away.

The "earthquakes" in the distance gradually stopped.

Chen Ce stood quietly, with only the howling cold wind in his ears, and even La Ast stopped talking.It was as if the whole world had gone quiet.

Until a dark spot gradually appeared on the horizon.

Then the deep voice came - crossing the barrier of distance, like a whisper in the ear:

"Oh...Rayaste...my once good brother, how could you succumb to mortal hands...you have disappointed me so much..."

The moment he heard the sound, Chen Ce's muscles tensed up, and then he immediately swung the sickle to the side.

But he was still a step behind.

Aatrox's figure came to him almost teleportingly, and the terrifying Darkin sword slashed towards his waist in the blink of an eye.

clang--!

The giant scythe collided with the giant sword, and the extreme impact caused Chen Ce to fly hundreds of meters away in an instant - only to stop when he hit a hillside in the distance.

After just one encounter, his throat was filled with blood.

He couldn't even feel his hand holding the scythe anymore.

Looking down, he saw that a large piece of his right arm had become black, and the bones and tendons in his wrist were directly torn.

If it weren't for the huge "health value" bonus from the Heart of Steel, this might have killed him...

"What an exaggeration...this power..."

Chen Ce stood up with difficulty, and changed his hand to hold the dark scythe tightly.

But before he could stand upright, the huge figure teleported to him again.

This time he finally saw clearly... Aatrox's "true face".

A pulseless body... made of another's flesh and blood... a parody of his lost glory...

"Hmm... a scythe, a scythe..." Aatrox's sword hung on his back. He crossed his arms and looked down at the mortal in front of him - also looking at the giant scythe in the mortal's hand.

"I've already told you, Raast... your weapons are ridiculous. A scythe, is your enemy a large wheat field?"

【Shut up!Aatrox! ] Laast's roar penetrated the shackles of the weapon, and the scarlet single eye glared at his former comrade. [Put away your arrogant attitude!You and I are the same kind of people!Darkin!You are no longer a glorious warrior of the gods! 】

As soon as these words were spoken, Aatrox was silent for a moment.

Chen Ce's brows jumped.

As expected, these two precise rebuke angered Aatrox.

"You're ridiculous for succumbing to a mortal... and I will always be me, Rhaast."

Aatrox raised his right arm, and the sharp darkin sword fell into his hand.

"Even if you can't reassemble your body, you shouldn't become a mortal weapon... You should walk on this decaying land with a free body..."

"Rayaste, Rayaste..."

"you……"

"Damn it—!"

The huge Darkin Demonic Sword slashed down hard, and its extreme power could even crush a mortal into a pulp with just a little sword wind.

Chen Ce naturally couldn't fight head-on.

But this doesn't mean that he will be captured without mercy——

"Deception magic..."

Boom-!

The Darkin Demonic Sword fell, and the terrifying explosive force instantly cut half of the hillside into two parts.

But Aatrox clearly felt that he missed the target.

He quickly retracted the giant sword, and the cunning mortal had appeared behind him.

The giant scythe struck straight at his neck.

Various skills are even attached to this attack.

The damage bonus of triple claw attack, wind control swordsmanship, and deception magic...

This blow was Chen Ce's strongest blow.

Ka-!

The scythe struck Aatrox perfectly in the neck.

But...I couldn't cut it off directly.

The sickle blade got stuck in the carapace...

"Sneak attack... a wise choice..." Aatrox did not even turn around, his hoarse and joking voice seemed to be laughing at the overestimation of mortals' abilities. "But no one told you... I can't be killed..."

Chen Ce didn't respond, just gritted his teeth and continued to exert force.

He knew that this body was just Aatrox's "puppet". Even if his head was cut off, it would not be able to cause any effective blow to him, but... it could delay time.

As long as you chop off his head, you can take the opportunity to escape...

This monster is impossible to kill...

Cut off his head first...

As long as I can cut it off...

if only……

Swish-!

After exerting force one after another, Chen Ce suddenly felt a sense of relief - the kind of relief that comes from suddenly losing strength.It was like finally breaking something after a period of stalemate.

He was overjoyed.

But soon, his smile froze on his face again.

because……

It wasn't Aatrox's neck that was broken, but...

his hand.

The Darkin Demonic Sword, Aatrox's body, broke away from the flesh puppet's grasp and cut off his hand with an upward thrust.

Boom.The darkin scythe fell to the snow together with the severed arm.

The intense pain caused Chen Ce to bite his lower lip, and the feeling of powerlessness caused by the loss of darkin energy made him crawl to the ground.

"How ridiculous..." Aatrox grasped the giant sword again and grinned a sickly smile on his almost deformed mouth. "Ah... funny performance, you look like a stage master..."

He finally turned around and stepped on the giant scythe.

"Rayaste... How could you choose a clown as your host? Hmm... But the combination of clown and sickle sounds good, like a slave who can cultivate the land... Hahahaha..."

[Shut up, Aatrox!Shut up! ! 】Laast roared angrily, looking like he was incompetent and furious.

But of course, this just "looks".

A wisp of scarlet energy broke away from the giant scythe like a filament, and then reached Chen Ce under the cover of snow.

Relying on this connection, the two consciousnesses are connected again.

[Give me your body, mortal! ] Laast's roar was not only directed at Aatrox, [Your body is qualified enough to bear my power!As long as we exert [-]% of our power, we can cut this damn arrogant man as easily as wheat! 】

Chen Ce hesitated for a moment.

But the gradually weakening heartbeat and the broken arm that kept leaking blood forced him to seize the time to make a choice.

And his choice... seemed to always be only one.

If he didn't want to sleep wrapped in snow for hundreds of years.

"I don't eat coriander, and the rest is up to you..." Chen Ce grinned with difficulty and accepted the dark descendant energy with a smile.

The next moment, all the pain suddenly disappeared.

His consciousness sank deep within.

It is another person who controls the body now.

It's...Rayaste.

Boom——!The giant scythe on the ground suddenly rose up, knocking Aatrox to the ground.

And Chen Ce - or Laast, stood up again.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the dark scythe flew back to his hand automatically.

His body also began to "mutate".
