Chapter 807 [0795] Brothers

Nasus was undoubtedly very excited to see Renekton again.

But unfortunately, Renekton did not appreciate his brotherly love at all. It seemed that in his eyes, Nasus was just an Ascendant, and Ascendants were very good materials for studying the Ascendancy Ceremony.

Renekton left because of the destruction of Shurima City and the crash of the Sun Disc. As a staunch supporter of the Ascendancy Ceremony, he was pierced by guilt, so he chose to escape and fled into the desert.

After that, although Nasus also tried to find him, it was so difficult to find a madman in the vast desert!

In the end, Nasus could only return to the Great Library and put all his energy into protecting the last wisdom of Shurima until the gears of fate began to turn again.

This time, when Nasus heard about Renekton and came to the Foma Peninsula to search for his traces, he was still very confident at first - since Renekton fell into madness because of guilt, as long as he knew the news of Azir's return and Shurima's upcoming revival, it should not be difficult for him to bring him back.

However, when Nasus realized that Renekton was connected to Bakay, he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

And now, after finally meeting Renekton, this ominous premonition finally became a reality - Renekton was indeed entangled with Bakay and became particularly radical.

People with guilt will escape and try to make amends.

But if there is no rational judgment when trying to make amends, it is very likely to slide into the abyss of losing control, which is the current situation of Renekton.

He seems to be trying to find a way to "perform the ascension ceremony without the sun disk", and these mermaid Bakay seem to be the "result" of his research.

In the Shurima Empire's Ascension Ceremony, there are not many Bakays - there is a complete ascension process and additional protection measures. Unless there are some uncontrollable accidents that have not been experienced before, or the ascender himself has problems, Bakays will generally not appear.

It is precisely because the success rate of the Shurima Empire's Ascension Ceremony is high that the meaning of the word Bakay has gradually changed from a distorted product after the failure of the Ascension Ceremony to "a person who blindly pursues power."

I thought that the Bakays in the Murloc War were a group of people who blindly pursued power, but now it seems that these guys are really the original Bakays!

Renekton is looking for a means of ascension ceremony that does not use the sun disc.

Mermans try to use deep-sea pearls to suppress the darkness of the abyss under the sea.

After meeting Renekton, the Merman began to consult him about the relevant information of the Ascension Ceremony. Renekton answered all the questions, which aroused the interest of the Mermans. Under their instigation, Renekton used the means of the Ascension Ceremony and the pearls in the Merman's hand as the energy source to hold an Ascension Ceremony for him.

The ascension ceremony was obviously unsuccessful, and the mermaid became Bakay.

However, neither Renekton, the host of the ceremony, nor Bakay, the recipient of the ceremony, gave up - every ten years, they would wait at the place where they traded with the Bright Moon Astral Spirit, luring the next mermaid warrior with deep-sea pearls to participate in the ascension ceremony hosted by Renekton.

The twisted Renekton and the mermaid Bakay suffered varying degrees of distortion. They seemed to believe that the ceremony was effective, but they just needed more experiments. As long as there were enough mermaids and enough deep-sea pearls, they would be able to master a perfect, new means of ascension. At that time, the army of mermaid ascenders would go deep into the abyss of the seabed and completely drive out the darkness!

In this way, the mermaid tribes in the sea sent their best warriors from generation to generation to dive into the seabed to collect pearls, hoping to exchange them for moonstones.

But the warriors with pearls were deceived or coerced from generation to generation and became the recipients of the twisted ascension ceremony.

Without the suppression of the moonstone, the darkness of the abyss gradually spread, and the lives of the mermaids became more and more difficult. Everything fell into a vicious circle-until one mermaid did not accept the ascension ceremony.

The latest mermaid warrior was named Nami. While waiting to trade with the Moon Messenger, she also met Renekton and other Bakay.

Facing the invitation of the "Ascension Ceremony", Nami clearly realized the problem. She first pretended to be submissive, and then took advantage of the situation and slipped back to the sea as soon as possible.

It's a pity that she was not flexible enough when she was on land. Although she returned to the sea, she did not take the pearl away, and was snatched away by Renekton.

Fortunately, Nami had already found out the content of Renekton's ascension ceremony experiment this time, so she returned to the tribe as soon as possible. After reporting to the elders, she took the warriors of the tribe and began to wait in the shallow sea area where the ascension ceremony could be performed.

Every time Renekton wanted to perform the ascension ceremony, Nami would come out with the mermaids to stop him, and this was what the locals called the "Murloc War".

……………………

Nasus had some vague guesses about the cause and effect of this, but he had no idea about the rest.

But what he could confirm was that Renekton was in a very wrong state now, and he didn't seem to be able to be easily persuaded to turn back.

Moreover, compared to when he left the ruins of Shurima City in a state of despair, Renekton was now very aggressive because of his paranoia and madness.

As soon as they met, he treated Nasus as an "experimental material" and didn't care that he was his own brother.

Renekton in this state would be a bit difficult for even Nasus to deal with.

Thinking about this, he didn't hesitate at all, and roared, and his body suddenly swelled.

The color of his skin became darker and the texture became harder. Nasus, who showed the posture of an ascended person, directly transformed into a tall obsidian colossus!

And as he moved, the cane in his hand also expanded in proportion, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a single-edged battle ax - if it weren't for the Shurima Empire's underground water network carrying a large amount of water, and the pipes were wide enough , Nasus' Ascendant stance might directly break through the wall!

With a wave of the battle ax in his hand, several Bakai who were eager to capture him were swept away.

Although the sharp blade of the tomahawk left deep wounds visible on their bodies, judging from the feel and their subsequent movements, these wounds did not seem to be fatal.

Not only is it not fatal, it cannot even render them incapacitated.

It seems that Renekton's "Ascension Ritual" is somewhat effective.

However, Nasus obviously had no time to study Bakai's resilience, because after he suddenly attacked and overturned Bakai who was closest to him, Renekton immediately picked up the weapon.

"Ascended one, haha, me too!"

Similar to Nasus, Renekton's body also began to expand, but unlike Nasus's obsidian body, Renekton's Ascended body was more wild - his body was covered with a layer of The surface armor was like crocodile scales, staring at Nasus with red eyes, and rushed towards him waving a sharp blade.

Judging from his actions, Renekton is now completely out of control, because when he rushed towards Nasus, he did not have any scruples about his "friendly forces". The ones who had just been swept away by Nasus Before the Bakais could get up, they were run over by Renekton.

Several unlucky ones were stepped on or flicked by his tail. The injuries that were already serious became even more serious now.

But even so, the tenacious vitality given to them by the "Ascension Ceremony" still kept them breathing. They squirmed persistently in the corner, seeming to want to continue to get up.

On the other side, Nasus and Renekton were already fighting.

Nasus is a scholar and is not good at close combat. If he must fight, he actually prefers to use magic.

As a Grand Maester of Shurima, Nasus has mastered many dangerous soul magics. The targets affected by these magics, even those who are ascended, may be driven to pieces.

But in this case, it is obviously impossible for Nasus to use these dangerous magics - although Renekton is crazy, Nasus is not crazy. He wants to wake up Renekton, not kill him .

In contrast, Renekton had no scruples at all.

Renekton, who was already good at close combat, became even more ruthless after falling into madness. He didn't care about his own safety at all, and seemed to want to capture Nasus at all costs, so that This Ascended One becomes the fodder for his own experiments.

As he came and went, Nasus was naturally forced to retreat step by step, and even suffered bruises in many places on his body.

Thanks to the fact that his ascended body was still strong and he could still bear it for a while, he was not seriously injured.

In this case, Nasus, who gritted his teeth and persisted, had only one way, and that was to wait for Renekton to fall into exhaustion due to his own madness. This kind of unsustainable combat method could not continue forever. Once Renekton's offensive could no longer be sustained, , Nasus can try to seal him and bring him back to Antasil.

By then, he, Azir, and Xerath will work together to rescue Renekton.

But the problem we have to face now is that we don’t know how long Renekton’s rage will last. If Nasus is seriously injured before he can do anything, then Nasus may end up on the autopsy table. .

Nasus himself was unsure.

But for the sake of his brother, he was willing to give it a try.

……………………

The battle between Nasus and Renekton in the underground waterway caused quite a stir.

During the fight between the two ascendants, the unlucky Bakai was unconsciously crushed again and again. On the ground, those who paid attention to the surrounding situation also discovered that something was abnormal here.

So, a team of mermaids who left the water found the center of the vibration. Under the leadership of a mermaid woman, they began to search carefully around the wet water traces.

Nami and the Mermaid Marines who had previously stopped Renekton arrived!

Guided by vibrations, these sharks quickly discovered the entrance to the checkpoint under the cover of plants.

After opening the door that Nasus had left ajar again, everyone looked at Nami, waiting for her to give her next instructions.

"We have to go in and take a look!" Nami didn't think for long before giving a clear order, "The enemy is very strong. We can't wait forever in shallow water to destroy his plan. We must seize every possible opportunity. !”

"But if they are just tempting us..."

"No, the seniors have fallen into madness." A trace of pain appeared on Nami's delicate face, "They have lost their minds and cannot do such a thing as seduction... If they can really do it, then maybe it is a good thing. It shows that they are gradually regaining their consciousness, and this movement may even be caused by them!"

After that, she held the staff in one hand and a smaller pearl in the other, and was the first to enter the gate of the checkpoint.

Behind her, the warriors of the Mermaid Marines also lined up and entered one after another.

This was the first time Nami entered a building of the people on the ground. She held up the pearl and let the faint light illuminate the building - the mermaids living in the deep sea have excellent eyesight, and even such a dim light is enough for her to see everything here clearly.

So, she immediately found the inspection passage leading to the waterway of the checkpoint.

Looking at the deep space below, Nami blinked, then waved the staff, and a stream of water entered the passage and fell into the underground waterway, and returned to Nami's side a moment later.

"The water flow tells me that there are injured seniors below!" Nami's voice became excited, "Perhaps, they have gradually regained their sanity and are fighting that evil monster!"

Hearing Nami's words, all the mermaids were obviously excited - to them, those Bakay who followed Renekton were their compatriots in the past, and the best compatriots. They were very willing to believe that those seniors who were once children of other people's families could get rid of that muddled state.

If it were them...it would definitely work!

So, led by Nami, all the mermaids jumped into the inspection port and entered the underground sewer.

However, when they turned a corner and came to the place with the heaviest smell of blood, the scene in front of them almost made these mermaids stop breathing.

The twisted seniors are no longer mermaids now, and their twisted bodies are now even more twisted. They stay in the corners one by one, squirming with difficulty.

The powerful vitality brought by Bakay's ascension ceremony still keeps them alive.

But no matter from which angle, they only have one breath left.

Not far from these Bakay, two behemoths are fighting in the underground sewer. Every time their weapons collide, a sound that makes people's teeth ache, and every time their bodies collide, the ground will tremble.

They are the source of the vibration!

All the mermaids know the guy with a crocodile head.

And the other dog-headed guy is someone they have never seen before.

This... what is going on?

Kalya's small class· Dangerous Ascension Ceremony:

The essence of the Ascension Ceremony is energy infusion and body reshaping, turning the recipient into a semi-energy life, and then achieving immortality.

However, except for the sun disc, other sources of ascension can only infuse energy, but cannot reshape the body.

Most of the changes in Bakay's physical state are only caused by energy infection, which cannot be regarded as reshaping the body.

Interestingly, in a sense, the Ascension Ceremony presided over by Renekton is indeed not far from success, because the bodies of these mermaid Bakay have indeed been reshaped-of course, only a little bit.
