Through the First Trial

No wonder Renekton and his crew couldn't break free on their own; it wasn't an ordinary wall, but something called the "Lost Incense Burner." ඏ🍧 ☺👮

But what did Yorick mean by saying that was the end of it? I was wondering when I saw Renekton charging towards us with his scimitar in hand!

Oken and Djis followed suit and launched their own attack!

Well, my worst fears have come true.

We were worried that Renekton and his crew would be affected by the poisonous fog and become Yorick's puppets, so we rushed to destroy the wall, but it's still like this even after we destroyed it.

However, they hadn't lost consciousness; they were just acting out of control, apologizing to us as they attacked.

"I'm sorry, brother, I don't know what happened. That damned guy cast a spell on us."

How are you feeling right now?

"My body is completely out of control, but I can suppress it with my strength, so I'm not going to fight you to the death."

"This is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; I wouldn't have been confident I could control you in your berserk state!"

It's easy to see from Nasus and Renekton's few words that Yorick hasn't completely controlled them yet. Luckily, he smashed the incense burner early on, otherwise, if they really fought us to the death, it would be a huge problem!

Nevertheless, dealing with them is still quite troublesome, because even without fighting desperately, the Ascended possess immense strength and superb martial arts skills.

Especially Djis; he didn't seem that strong in his ascended state, but now that he's an opponent, we realize just how skilled he is with a gun.

When I was playing as Zhao Xin, I used a spear for a while, but the moves were all learned from Laurent Swordplay, not true spear techniques.

Djis's marksmanship was exquisite and unpredictable, but fortunately, he was aware of his own intentions and would reveal his movements to us in advance.

Gradually, we adapted to the attack of several people, and Nasus dealt with them alone, while I freed myself up to deal with Yorick. Only by defeating him could the situation be resolved!

During this time, Yorick was not idle either; he searched the surrounding graves for usable undead and enhanced them with magic.

This action is pointless, since Kayle and Morgana can handle these undead, so I don't need to waste my time.

Yorick stopped what he was doing after noticing my movements. "Too bad, it's still early. Otherwise, once I killed those Ascended, I could control them forever!"

"What's a pity for you is a good thing for me. Shadows should not exist under the sun. Today we will purify this place!"

Yorick had already fought me and knew I had the Life Rune, which could effectively damage him. However, he didn't back down and gripped his shovel tightly, ready to fight to the death!

His shovel was very powerful, but it couldn't hit me at all. I didn't need to worry; I just needed to hit him at the right time and wear him down.

Soon, Yorick was covered in wounds, and his dark, bluish-black body was covered with a lot of soft green, as the vibrant aura of Life Rune spread rapidly.

"Damn it!"

He kept groaning, as if he were in great pain from being corroded by strong acid. But soon I noticed something was wrong, because his skin gradually returned to a normal color!

Was Yorick not a ghost, but a living person?

Thinking of this, I intensified my attack; perhaps there was still hope for him!

Yorick didn't like himself like this. He stopped attacking me and instead frantically scratched at his regained skin.

"No! No..."

Arms, chest, thighs, ribs... every inch of his skin is starting to improve, and it looks like he'll recover soon!

Even more advantageously, Nasus broke Yorick's spell, freeing Renekton. At that moment, they all rushed to my side and surrounded Yorick!

"It's over, you damn bastard!"

Renekton raised his scimitar to strike, but Nasus stopped him. "Don't rush, can't you see he's almost recovered? Maybe he's being controlled by Mordekaiser like you guys!"

Renekton hesitated slightly upon hearing his brother's words. At that moment, Yorick suddenly let out a howl and plunged his shovel into the ground beneath his feet.

"Come forth, Mistress of the Mist, and kill these intruders!"

The ground began to tremble, and the surrounding Black Mist churned. We quickly retreated, and when the surroundings quieted down again, I saw a witch-like undead appear behind Yorick.

Yorick, the Mistress of the Mist, has finally revealed his trump card.

At this moment, the radiance of life on his body stopped spreading, and his whole body looked as if a bucket of paint had been poured on him, leaving him mottled and discolored.

"Ha!"

The Mistress of the Mist cried out, and suddenly several faint green lights emanated from her body, shining upon us and connecting with the soft green light emanating from the Life Rune.

"He's absorbing our life force!" Nasus said.

"Let's go kill it!" Renekton charged again, and we all followed.

This attack wasn't as smooth as before, because the Mistress of the Mist absorbed the power of several of us at the same time, forming a very strong protective layer!

Moreover, Yorick stood in front of the Mistress of the Mist, using his own body to shield us from our attacks.

Victory was within reach, but should I run away now? But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to escape the Mistress of the Mist's attacks. I was in a dilemma.

Then I thought of Varus in the air. He was the only one who hadn't been attacked yet, and we could only place our hopes on him!

"Next!"

I threw the Life Rune up, then called on Nasus and the others to maintain a strong offensive, even if it meant having our life force absorbed!

Four Ascended surrounded Yorick and the Mistress of the Mist, while I moved back and forth between them, attacking them one after another.

Before long, Djis first felt a little unwell, and then Nasus also felt a bit weak. Fortunately, Renekton and Oken showed no signs of weakness yet.

"Withdraw!"

Varus shouted, and we quickly retreated.

Sensing the powerful beams of light in the sky, I knew everyone had completed their mission. Now it was up to Varus to see if he could defeat Yorick and the Mistress of the Mist.

A dazzling Golden Light poured down, carrying a green glow that pierced Yorick's chest, along with the Mistress of the Mist behind him!

The Mistress of the Mist screamed as her robe ripped apart, and her body slowly regained its color!

Yorick's spots gradually merged together, and he slowly began to look like a normal person again.

The two of them nestled together, neither of them showing any signs of pain.

"I have waited so long for this moment, my Princess."

"I used to think you were a fool, but I never imagined you were even more foolish than a fool. But I'm willing to accept you, my Knight."

These were their last words. After the arrow of light that Varus fired disappeared, Yorick and the Mistress of the Mist vanished into space and time, leaving only an iron shovel on the ground.
