Shifty-Eyed

I was originally planning to go and explain things to Garr, but it seems I don't need to now. ஜ۩۞۩ஜ ஜ۩۞۩ஜ

Although it's unknown what methods the angels will use to search, Piltover is relatively safe, so Camille's intelligence work is not a concern.

In a few days, I'll take Kayle and Morgana to the Shadow Isles. Meriel would probably look down on that filthy place even more.

Summer is almost here in Demacia, and I'd like to visit the Shadow Isles. Do you want to come?

"Of course! How could I be left out of this! Let's go now!" Jarvan was full of fighting spirit.

"Shadow Isles is no small matter; it's not something we can handle with just a few people. Let's call some reinforcements to go together."

"Then I'll follow your plan. By the way, Yasuo, Ashe, and Tryndamere are also planning to take a few warriors to Ionia for training. Our strength has improved quite a bit!"

"That's great. You, Shvana, and Fiora go to Ionia first, and have Irelia or Darius devise a defense plan. Then, gather the extra people and head straight to Bilbo to find Gangplank. I'm going to Shurima; I'll come find you later."

After giving Jarvan some instructions, I headed straight for Shurima.

I used to run around like this during the Allied Wars, and now it's the same familiar rhythm—running around non-stop!

When I arrived in Naremajet, the sun had just risen, and from my direction, it was completely obscured by the Sun Disc.

Since Sivir's ascension, the Sun Disc has been completely renewed, but it no longer rotates, as if the previous revival was merely to welcome her arrival.

The hardworking people have already started doing business. I wonder if Taliyah is here. Although improving her abilities would be helpful to us, considering the horrors of the Shadow Isles, I'd better not take her with me.

Just as I quickened my pace to leave, I suddenly sensed an aura of Light Element. Could it be that angels had come here? I didn't want to provoke them, so it was best to avoid them if possible.

But wherever I went, this aura followed, and it got faster and faster, getting closer and closer. Clearly, the other party had also noticed me!

The power of the War Aspect is invisible unless actively used. How did the opponent detect me? They couldn't possibly approach just because they sensed my strength, could they?

In any case, this is not the place to talk; if a fight breaks out, people will suffer. I quickened my pace and headed out of the city.

Soon I arrived at a desolate desert and realized that the other party was still pursuing me closely. I stopped and turned around, only to find a small, thin person.

The moment I saw this person, I knew he wasn't an angel. Even if they could transform, they couldn't possibly become such a shifty-eyed man.

"Wow, you run really fast!" The person's voice was high-pitched.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

"I sensed a powerful Wind Element Strength in Naremajet, and thought it was an old friend. Now it seems I was mistaken. But you, what wrong have you done to run away so fast?"

"I was just in a hurry to get going, goodbye!"

Since it was a misunderstanding, there was no point in wasting time. I continued towards Sun City, but after a while, this person was still following behind me. What did that mean?

I stopped again. "Just say what you want to say, or don't blame me for being impolite if you keep following me!"

"Why are you being so fierce? Can't you be reasonable? Shurima isn't yours!"

"Okay, then you go first." I stepped aside to let him go first.

"Me first, me first!"

I deliberately slowed down, and the person quickly disappeared from sight. It seemed I had really misunderstood him; we were just heading in the same direction.

But to my surprise, we met again not long after!

This didn't raise my suspicion because this person was fighting Sand Shark Beast, also known as Void Burrower!

At this moment, he was radiating golden light, and his aura of Light Element was even stronger than before. Could he be an Ascended?

I stopped to watch his battle. Although his martial arts skills were good, he couldn't withstand the sheer number of Sand Shark Beast and was soon surrounded. The situation was extremely dire!

Just as I was about to help, I suddenly heard a sharp, piercing scream, and the person's body swelled to several times its original size!

Overall, he still looks human, but his head and lower body have become like a rat. I recognize him: the Ascended Djis.

Djis is one of the five Ascended appeared after the Void War. It seems he heard about Azir's resurrection and was heading to Sun City, and happened to be going the same way as me.

These Sand Shark Beast weren't very big, and their fighting power wasn't as strong as the ones I'd encountered before. Djis held a long spear and kept stabbing the monsters into their bodies, quickly taking care of them.

He transformed back into human form, looked at me, and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Weren't you in a hurry? Why are you watching the commotion?"

"My urgent matter may concern you, noble Ascended."

"Oh? Even people from other places know about the Ascended. It seems the rumors are true; Sun City has reappeared in the world."

"Not only Sun City, but Azir, Varus, Renekton, Nasus, Oken, and others have all regained their former glory."

Djis seemed taken aback by my words. He scratched his head, confirming he didn't recognize me. "Who are you? Why do you know His Your Majesty and the others, and dare to address him by his given name?"

"That's a long story. And I know you, Djis."

"Hehehe, that's really interesting. Looks like you're planning to go to Sun City?" Djis's voice was thin, and his laughter was unpleasant.

"Yes, we're going the same way. I was wrong about you earlier, sorry."

"It's alright, I don't have that strong a sense of honor, and I don't care about other people's misunderstandings."

The appearance of the Ascended is related to their personality. Since Djis can turn into a rat, there must be some similarities.

Regardless of whether the rat is good or bad, its low-key nature is commendable; it's not as difficult to get along with as other Ascended.

We arrived in Sun City together, and Djis's excitement was even more difficult to conceal. No matter how many years they had lived, the light in their hearts had never been extinguished.

Azir and his companions had already sensed the return of their comrades. He, Renekton, Nasus, and Oken came out to greet them. Besides them, I also saw an unfamiliar face next to Azir.

This person was small and thin, darker than the average Shurima person, a true black, and I could sense a surge of powerful magic emanating from him!

After reciting the oath, Djis raised his head and immediately saw the black boy, his face contorting with intense anger!

"Xerath! You damned bastard!"

"Don't get agitated, Lord Djis! He's no longer our enemy!"
