Seal Released

Cassiopeia gripped the Khopesh tightly, refusing to let go, Kled snatched it from her and threw it to Nasus.

"What are you doing! This is what I found!"

"Then you'll have to be alive to use it!" Kled rebuked her mercilessly.

Nasus put the Khopesh back in its original position and secured it with magic to prevent it from being stolen again, then he walked over to me:

"You said royal blood could resurrect Azir. Now that we've found the Royal Descendant and arrived at the place of ascension, what's next?"

"This..."

"It seems you don't know everything." Nasus said, picking up Sivir and preparing to leave.

Where are you going?

"Return to Naremajet, she is not entirely dead. Perhaps the Sun Disc there can resurrect her. As you have seen, the Sun Disc, silent for a thousand years, has begun to rotate again, perhaps to welcome the return of the king."

"You want to help her ascend to immortality?"

"Yes."

Just as Nasus was about to leave, the tomb began to tremble again, this time much stronger than before. Debris rained down from above, and the ground seemed to be cracking. Was it an earthquake?

Kled unleashed a powerful gust of wind, and Nasus quickly reinforced it with magic. Suddenly, an explosion rang out, and the violent impact caused both of them to stagger!

Nasus's expression turned serious, and he turned to me, saying, "You might be right, Xerath is still alive!"

"You sensed his presence?"

"Yes! There's another violent aura, very similar to my brother, yet it feels unfamiliar to me. Perhaps, as you said, he's changed!"

After Nasus finished speaking, the tremors stopped. The tomb ruins around us had been completely reduced to rubble. Nasus opened a passageway, just like he had done in the library, and we went straight up.

Two people are fighting amidst the ruins.

To be precise, it was a standing Renekton and a ball of energy, namely Renekton and Xerath!

Upon seeing us, Xerath let out a dry laugh, "Your brother has appeared. Truly, brothers are on the same page, hahaha... I'm not playing with you anymore. You two settle your scores yourselves."

Renekton's attack missed, Xerath was already far away. Fortunately, the two didn't team up, or it would have been troublesome.

However, I think letting Xerath leave will also cause problems in the future, it's just that we don't have the ability to keep him.

After Xerath left, Renekton turned to Nasus, his eyes bloodshot, clearly having lost his mind.

Of course, Nasus didn't see it that way. "My brother, you've suffered. Now that you know Xerath is our enemy, please recover from your rage quickly!"

"Nasus, you're the one who sealed me here! I'm going to kill you!"

Renekton ignored Nasus's words and launched an attack directly. Facing the Ascended's full-force attack, Nasus did not hesitate and also activated his Ascended form.

"You sacrificed yourself to let me seal you all here, have you forgotten?"

"You're lying! This was all planned! I'm going to kill you!"

"That's not how it works. Stop now, we'll take it slowly..."

Renekton was consumed by thoughts of revenge and gave Nasus no chance to speak.

They were originally evenly matched, but one had been eroded by time in the library for a thousand years, while the other had been tempered by darkness in the tomb for a thousand years.

With the tide turning against each other, Nasus found himself struggling, especially since he couldn't launch a reckless, all-out attack like Renekton.

The clash of powers between the two Ascended caused immense destruction; fortunately, the area was deserted, otherwise it would have been a catastrophe.

Even standing far away, we still felt very depressed; our hearts were beating several times faster than usual.

Kled urged us, "You all need to get out of here quickly, I'm going to help!"

"Alright, then we'll take Sivir back to Naremajet. You two should retreat as well, depending on the situation!"

We quickly fled the dangerous situation, and it was then that I noticed Cassiopeia was holding Khopesh.

This weapon was originally sealed in the tomb by Nasus with magic. Now that it has fallen into Cassiopeia's hands, the magical spell must have been destroyed by the power of Renekton and Xerath.

Why are you so obsessed with this weapon?

I don't need to tell you.

"Okay, you might not know us well, but we're not enemies. As you can see, we have a good relationship with Kled, and with Darius..."

"Don't mention Darius to me! I traveled all the way to Shurima to find this weapon, just to kill him!"

Cassiopeia's words struck me as odd. Darius is an idol to the Noxus; shouldn't she have shown him the utmost respect?

Then I suddenly thought of Katarina, who hated Darius intensely in order to avenge her father, and it seems her sister felt the same way.

Is it because of your father?

"Us? You've met Katarina?"

"Yes, she has long since resolved her feud with Darius and is now wholeheartedly serving Noxus."

"That traitor! She's not my sister!"

Cassiopeia's obsession runs deep, and I cannot persuade her, because I do not know about Darius and Dukao's past.

Perhaps Katarina could persuade her, but after the war in Ionia ended, she and Talon stayed behind, unsure when they would see each other again.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Anyway, we're not your enemies, let's get along peacefully!"

"Hmph." Cassiopeia turned her head to the side, like a child.

In the game, she is depicted as a snake woman, but that's not the case now. She has taken off her hat, and her full head of red hair is exactly the same as Katarina's, but her appearance and skin are even better.

Could such a beautiful woman turn into a snake in the future? Thinking about it carefully, it's very likely that her desire for revenge and power led to that outcome.

But then again, where did she learn about this weapon? How could a little girl from Noxus know so much?

Asking her now will definitely not get you the answer you want, so let's chat less for now and ask her again when we're more comfortable with each other.

After a long journey, we returned to Naremajet overnight, arriving at dawn.

Cassiopeia was exhausted halfway there, so Riven gave her a ride back on her motorcycle on the condition that she carry Sivir.

Although she was very reluctant, after experiencing the danger just now, she didn't want to act alone and needed to find a caravan at least. So as soon as she arrived in Naremajet, she couldn't wait to leave.

"You seem to be too careless." I tried to stop Cassiopeia.

"What's the meaning?"

"Aren't you afraid someone will steal such a treasure from you?"

"I'm not afraid at all! We're almost at General Kled's camp; I'll be protected there!"

"You may not know this, but he has already withdrawn his troops."
