Chapter 154 Battle of the Gods

Nasus took the lead.

Rao transformed into the body of a huge ascended person. Not only did his speed not slow down at all, but he was actually faster than his normal form.

He placed the handle of the ax against his arm, and the huge and sharp ax blade reflected the dazzling rays of the sun, penetrated the air with a sharp sound, and struck Xerath in an instant.

Xerath was unable to dodge, and was thrown hundreds of meters away by the giant axe. He rolled over a dozen times in the sand with inertia, and finally hit the flowing river hard, splashing a water column and covering a large area of ​​the shore. Dust becomes silt when wet.

Nasus took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack. He suddenly flashed and arrived in front of Xerath in less than a second.

As his huge body fell, the earth trembled, and the ferocious hurricane of sand swirled around him at high speed, and every grain of sand comparable to steel scraped against Xerath who was flying again.

"That's all you have?" Zelas said coldly, as if he had not been hurt at all by the attack just now.

He quickly jumped into the air and dodged to the side, avoiding Nasus's giant ax that was slashing with all his strength, and then rushed forward, his crackling limbs emitting dazzling lightning comparable to the brilliance of the sun.

Compared with the huge ascended body, Xerath's spiritual body is slightly larger than normal humans.

However, his seemingly weak spirit body directly shook Nasus, pushing him against his chest and knocking him back to the front of Vicora City.

Nasus, who was burned by the lightning, couldn't help but howl in pain and reached out to grab Xerath, but he was deflected by Xerath's arcane energy.

Endless arcane magic with dark power scattered from Xerath's body, eroding Nasus's dark skin and leaving shocking cracks and wounds.

"withered!"

Unable to bear it, Nasus gritted his teeth and released magic that could instantly wither a person's body and soul, burning Xerath's spiritual core.

"Uhhhh!" He screamed and roared angrily.

Releasing the power of purification dispelled Nasus' magic, Xerath spread his arms, and the arcane fire in his chest suddenly rose, scattering a series of arcane comet barrages, covering hundreds of square meters around Nasus who had just stood up. territory.

The western half of the city and a large number of buildings in Vicora were launched aimlessly, and the blue-white arcane spheres that fell like meteors were annihilated, and were then swallowed up by the yellow sand swept by the strong wind.

Nasus mobilized his power to quickly heal his wounds, but he was unable to withstand the destruction Xerath had inflicted on him.

Following a searing pulse of arcane energy thrown out by Xerath's arm, Nasus was unable to dodge, and was hit in the legs by the arcane energy flame that he detonated on the ground.

Nasus couldn't bear the severe pain that felt like his body was being torn apart, and he couldn't control his body and fell to his knees.

He tried hard to support his body with the ax handle to prevent himself from falling to the ground again, and was covered by Xerath's indiscriminate firepower.

Immediately afterwards, Nasus gritted his teeth and pulled his left hand under Xerath's feet. Purple-black astral magic poured out, and a burning light pillar rose from his feet.

"Ha! Burn it!"

Xerath screamed wildly, and this power was like the flames of thousands of suns swallowing him up, causing him to temporarily stop the continuous bombardment of spells in his hands.

Taking advantage of this gap, Nasus hurriedly stood up, and the injuries on his ascended body healed in the blink of an eye.

He continued to swing the giant ax, knocking Xerath away like a baseball.

"You won't find Azir's bloodline, I've hidden it."

"That guy won't hide forever!" Xerath's roar came from the distance, pulling the yellow sand in the sky, "I will find them, and then completely erase this meaningless bloodline!"

"I will fight to the death."

Nasus ran forward in long strides, covering a distance of hundreds of meters with each step.

He wanted to get close to Xerath, but this cunning and powerful ancient wizard gave him no chance.

Dark arcane magic mixed with huge ascension power surged throughout Xerath's body. Before Nasus could get close to him, dozens of impact magic balls were thrown out by him one after another.

Nasus swung the battle ax whose core gem had been shattered, and his hands turned into afterimages, scattering forty or fifty arcane orbs in an instant.

But Xerath's energy can almost be described as infinite.

He continued to throw energy balls comparable to boulders with his left hand, and threw arcane pulse lightning with his right hand. The arcane comets on his chest also continued, covering Nasus' entire body in just one breath.

"I am transcendent from the mundane world! You want to defeat me with such a weak magic?!"

"——Ahhhh!!"

As hundreds of waves of arcane magic poured in, Nasus was almost unable to resist.

Xerath filled up his energy and threw out the last blazing white beam. Nasus, who was half kneeling on the ground, was pierced through the chest and collapsed to the ground helplessly.

not enough……

Far from enough……

The last time Renekton and I fought against Xerath was when our brothers were at their peak.

But now that I have fallen into silence for a thousand years, I am just an illusory shadow of my former glory...

Nasus still struggled to get up.

But Xerath had already activated his magic, affecting the stones in the distant ruins of Vicora to form a huge boulder with a diameter of tens of meters, which hit Nasus's scarred body, completely destroying his last vestige of strength. Break up.

"Too weak, too weak! I didn't expect that after thousands of years, your strength is not even half of what it was originally!"

Xerath laughed loudly, slowly floated up to Nasus' face, and looked down at him.

At this time, most of the bones in Nasus' body that were comparable to obsidian had been shattered and fractured. His left hand was hanging weakly on the ground, and his left leg up to his abdomen was crushed by the arcane energy, and his back was broken. There was a sharp pain in his spine, as if it was being burned by the sun.

"You have fallen too far, Nasus."

Xerath's fingertips were dripping with blue-white magical flames.

"If it weren't for what you did to me, I might still pity you... In these long years of wandering and being lost, your spirit has been completely broken just like your brother Renekton."

"It is better to be destroyed than to betray one's trust." Nasus spat out a mouthful of blood and snorted coldly: "Even if you gain divine power, you still can't change your identity as Xerath. You are a traitor and a slave. Even your name is... Azir gave it to you!"

Feeling the rising anger in Xerath's heart, Nasus suddenly forgot about the pain in his body and felt extremely happy.

"Haha, you are wrong Nasus." Xerath was silent for a long time, then laughed, "I am no longer a slave. Azir's last order is to pardon my slave status and give me my freedom."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nasus' eyes flashing with black and purple flames suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief.

"This is impossible! Why do you betray Azir even after he pardoned you?"

"He's just a fool. His grace came too late."

Nasus growled weakly, urging magic to repair his body.

It’s just that Xerath easily saw his thoughts, and the repulsive force exerted on the boulder was even greater.

Nasus endured the pain of his body being crushed, and suddenly remembered that Xerath liked to show off his achievements in front of others.

Just delaying it for a little longer is enough, I can already feel Azir's magical aura...

"What are you going to do when I die? Kill Azir and become the emperor of Shurima? Just like when you sent bandits to recruit me a few days ago?"

He shook his head, "I can't imagine what a Shurima ruled by you will eventually become..."

"Although I have imagined thousands of deaths for you, I will not kill you." Xerath said in an indifferent voice, and then slowly rose into the air.

"The Desert Butcher will get what he deserves. He will use his fangs and claws to eat your flesh and blood alive, and I will definitely watch this wonderful scene from the side..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and glanced at Nasus, and suddenly noticed something strange.

He's too calm, that's not his style...

The thoughtful Xerath immediately flew away from Nasus, but was attacked again by his long-charged "Wither".

"It's too late, Xerath, it's too late..."

Xerath was shocked and angry. The core of his chest was once again eroded by the astral magic cast by Nasus, and he froze in mid-air.

At the same time, a magical fire as hot as the sun fell from the sky and directly hit Xerath who had just escaped, causing him to fly backwards and leave Nasus' side.

The boulders on Nasus lost Xerath's control and returned to their original appearance, turning into scattered gravel.

A hint of joy flashed in Nasus's eyes. He quickly repaired his body and quickly got up. He knelt down on one knee facing the west and crossed his hands on his chest.

"Eagle King Azir, I am here to welcome your royal chariot!"
