The Queen in Peril

After my persuasion, Sivir finally entered the passage. ♠♟ 🍩😂

Looking at these murals again, I no longer felt anything, nor did I fall into a dreamlike state; I simply appreciated the exquisite paintings naturally.

As I walked, I suddenly sensed a change in Sivir's aura, giving me a feeling that she was unapproachable. It seemed she had already learned about Shurima's past.

It's amazing, even though we were together the whole time, her steps only paused briefly. It seems I was the same way before.

To others, it may seem like they've just stopped, but in reality, they've spent over a thousand years in the illusion.

"How long have we been here?" Sivir's tone became much more serious.

"Very briefly, just a few breaths, it seems you've already learned the history of Shurima."

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes without her even realizing it, only noticing when she felt an itch on her face and reached up to wipe them away.

"Huh? Why am I crying?"

"Let's go, it's time to travel the world, and I keep my word!"

Sivir glanced at me, giving me an ambiguous look. "Let's go to Sun City to quell that battle first, then we'll go!"

Goodness, you really want to travel the world with me? Doesn't the sorrow in the illusion make her worry about her country and its people?

But that's a matter for later; let's quell that battle first!

We traveled through the night, the moonlight illuminating the desert in a silvery white, while sand and dust still filled the air near the battlefield.

Riven and the others were far from the battlefield. When they saw us return, they quickly came to greet us, "How did it go?"

"Let's leave the rest to Sivir."

I watched her charge fearlessly into the battlefield, hoping to end the chaos.

Sivir floated in mid-air, raising the Khopesh in her hand. Moonlight gathered on the Khopesh, turning into a dazzling Golden Light that instantly enveloped the three people engaged in fierce combat.

Kled was the first to come out. He ran up to us and asked, "Did you succeed?"

"It seems so."

"That's terrifying. If I were as big as them, I'd probably be chopped into pieces by now."

This was the first time I'd seen Kled looking so shaken since I'd met him.

Nasus and Renekton were covered in wounds, each one deep enough to expose bone, and their movements became sluggish under the Golden Light.

Soon, I saw their wounds heal at a speed visible to the naked eye! After a while, their ascension posture also ended!

At this moment, Sivir landed in front of the two and commanded in a kingly tone:

"You two, stop now? Have you forgotten the glory of the Celestial Warrior?"

Nasus immediately knelt down and recited the oath he had taken before his ascension. Although thousands of years had passed, some things, as long as one lives, will never be forgotten:

"For the ever-growing strength and perpetual prosperity of Shurima, and for the Ascended Empress Zetian, I, Nasus, today dedicate myself to the service of the Sun God, to becoming a child of the gods. War is noble, and I am honored!"

Renekton was still struggling. Unlike Nasus, he was a strong and robust man. It seemed that the normal form of Ascended was what he looked like before ascending.

The resurgence of his memories made him tremble all over. Sometimes he would beat his chest and stamp his feet, sometimes he would bar his teeth and claws, sometimes he would cry bitterly, and sometimes he would roar loudly. His expression was extremely painful.

Sivir couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to help Renekton calm down, but an unexpected incident occurred!

Renekton suddenly swung his scimitar at her, and although she blocked it, her left wrist still took a solid blow.

Nasus raised his axe, ready to fight again, but was immediately stopped by Sivir and could only watch as his brother defied royal authority.

However, Renekton did not continue his attack. Sivir's blood splattered on his face, hissing like strong acid.

Soon his eyes returned to normal, the crimson slowly fading, and he threw away his scimitar and knelt on the ground.

"For... the ever-growing strength and perpetual prosperity of Shurima, and for... the bloodline of the Ascended Empress, I, Renekton..."

He stammered as he finished reciting the oath, but dared not raise his head in shame.

Sivir happily helped him up, then placed his hand on Nasus's:

"From this day forward, you will remain the pioneers and guardians of Shurima. Together, we will find the other surviving Celestial Warrior and restore Shurima to its former glory!"

"We brothers will do everything in our power... Your Majesty, your wound..."

Renekton felt terrible seeing that Sivir's wound was still bleeding.

But that's not the problem. The two brothers have recovered completely from their severe injuries, Sivir's wound isn't deep. With her Ascended Body, how could she not heal?

Then something even stranger happened: the yellow sand beneath Sivir's feet seemed to come alive, frantically sucking up her blood!

Soon it wasn't dripping anymore, it was flowing!

Sivir clenched her wrist tightly, blood seeping from between her fingers. Nasus tried to heal the wound with magic, but to no avail.

Now they were starting to panic! They had just sworn an oath to revitalize Shurima, and now this had happened!

Sivir tried to take off, but she was too weak from blood loss. I tried to get her off on my motorcycle, but I couldn't get close at all!

It was as if a magical barrier had been erected around her; not only me, but even Nasus and Renekton couldn't break through it!

Lucian walked over to try out the anti-magic pistol, but he fared even worse. Not only did the bullet fail to work, but he was also thrown back and rolled a considerable distance away!

Sivir gradually couldn't hold on any longer; her face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground, struggling to reach out her hand to me:

"Yasuo, take me... to travel... the world."

Don't worry, everything will be alright!

I didn't know what to say at that moment. Watching her life slip away was heartbreaking.

"I... don't want... to die, I..."

Sivir's voice became extremely weak, and she fainted before she could finish speaking!

Renekton became agitated again, blaming himself for everything, and kept charging at Sivir, only to be repeatedly repelled.

Nasus hugged him, trying to calm him down, but he couldn't stop him no matter how hard he tried.

At that moment, something suddenly occurred to me. Since Sivir was Ascended, there was no reason for her to die here for no reason. There was only one way to make her unable to resist: the binding of her bloodline!

Could it be Azir?

I had just thought of this and hadn't even had a chance to tell anyone else when I saw the ground start to shake, and layers of high platforms rose up from beneath our feet, getting higher and higher!

Soon a ring-shaped fissure appeared around it, and sand kept pouring into it, forming a ring-shaped sand waterfall!

I've seen this scene before, during the Ascension Ritual in the illusion!

This is the Sun Disc of Sun City!
