Defeating the God of Death

The fierce attack resumed, and Karthus was now overwhelmed. He was first knocked away by Huo Su, and then took Fist Wind from Lee Sin. 💝😎 ✋👽

Jarvan and Shvana also launched a joint attack, weakening his Death Qi.

However, the magic circle around Karthus still existed, preventing most people from getting close enough to attack, with only Kayle relentlessly pursuing him.

"I'll make you pay for hurting my sister!"

"Beautiful angel, divine body, if you too could become one of us, I think this paradise would be even more beautiful!"

After Karthus finished speaking, he raised the grimoire above his head, and the magic circle beneath his feet flickered, imprisoning Kayle in mid-air!

Upon seeing this, Morgana rushed over without hesitation. She activated Maqi's Transformation Technique and spread her wings, which she hadn't done for a long time.

To my surprise, Morgana's wings had more feathers than Kayle's, covering both the top and bottom sides completely, with only the middle section being sparse!

Perhaps because she is a dark-attribute angel, she recovers faster in a place like the Shadow Isles!

"Let go of my sister!"

Morgana unleashed a barrage of dark energy orbs, the sheer power of which surprised not only Karthus but also her own people.

Kayle's attack just now surprised everyone, but now it seems Morgana is even better!

The immense power that angels are born with is not just empty talk!

Of course, it would be a bit difficult for them to win directly at their current stage. Everyone mustered their strength and prepared to launch another attack when Karthus's power wavered!

I tried to gather some Wind Force and found that I had recovered enough. I prepared to find another opportunity to use the Wind Slash, preferably a surprise attack!

With everyone's combined attack, the opportunity soon arrived. Alistar used the power of the Bull Spirit to knock Karthus away, and the Sword Saint's sharp sword pierced through his body.

Huo Su followed closely and rammed into Karthus, shoving him like a ball next to me. Gale Sword followed silently, cleaving him in two just like it had when it killed Elise!

With the scythe and the magic book flying from his hands simultaneously, Karthus's skin could no longer contain his bones, and they scattered all over the ground!

But he wasn't dead yet. He grinned maliciously and shouted, "Finally, let me play a Requiem for all of you!"

Just before death, Karthus finally unleashed his ultimate attack, casting a beam of fluorescent green light above our heads, which we couldn't shake off no matter what we did!

"Let's all get together!"

I called everyone to huddle together, with myself, Talon, and Fiora at the center. The three Life Rune converged once more, radiating a comforting glow.

Soon, the beam of light summoned by Karthus crashed down. My body felt fine, but my head was in excruciating pain!

Everyone clutched their heads tightly, and many were writhing on the ground in pain. Even a group of heroes would find it hard to endure such agony!

It took me a long time to recover, while the others were still struggling.

This is not ordinary pain, but a mental attack that directly targets the brain, much like Spiritual Power.

My mental defenses are quite strong, so I recover quickly, unlike others.

I silently used my Spiritual Power to heal everyone. The first to recover were the Kayle sisters, followed by Alistar and Huo Su. They all had beast spirits protecting them, giving them a certain advantage against mental attacks.

Soon Renekton, Oken, and Djis also recovered. The group sat on the ground, still shaken, touching their heads and looking around, wondering what had happened.

The remaining people recovered much more slowly, suffering from the pain for nearly half an hour before experiencing some relief. If it weren't for the Life Rune, who knows what the consequences would have been if they had been hit by Karthus's Requiem!

"I never imagined a skeleton could possess such immense power." Wukong stretched his limbs, still not daring to approach Karthus's scattered remains.

"It's alright, he's dead. Fortunately, no one was hurt."

Suddenly Renekton stood up and ran away. I suddenly remembered that Nasus and Varus were still near the fountain!

Oh no, they have neither the protection of Life Rune nor my Spiritual Power to save them, they won't... I shook my head, not wanting to think the worst.

When I rushed back to the fountain, I found the two of them lying on the ground. I quickly used my Spiritual Power to heal them. After a while, Varus finally improved, but Nasus's life force remained very weak!

"How are you Yasuo? Are my brother and Varus alright?" Renekton asked anxiously.

"I can sense their life force, but... Nasus's is very weak."

"Huh? How could this happen!"

"Calm down! Yasuo will heal them!" Djis Renekton aside.

The Death Park gradually blurred and disappeared, and the Black Mist in the air slowly dissipated, but now it was night, and no sunlight shone down.

I anxiously awaited dawn, hoping the sunlight would help them both recover, when Kayle arrived.

"Yasuo, you said that Ascended possess power bestowed by angels. Can I help them?"

"Your mother created the Ascended using Light Rune, so your power alone might not be enough. But give it a try. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard! My mother said that those Ascended are our Siblings in the mortal realm, and I don't want to see them die!"

After Kayle finished speaking, he spread his wings, and the golden feathers emitted light and heat like the sun, making everyone feel very comfortable.

She could no longer hold on until dawn, panting heavily, so I let her close her wings and rest.

By this time, many people had already fallen asleep. In the past two or three days, they had not rested at all, nor had they eaten or drunk anything. They were being sustained entirely by the power of the Life Rune. Even if they did not die, they had already reached the limits of human endurance.

After daybreak, Varus finally woke up. He was pale and extremely weak. He coughed twice and quickly closed his eyes to rest.

Nasus showed no signs of waking up until Camille and Ashe's squad arrived in the evening.

They brought some food to share, and they looked very tired; even Olaf couldn't keep talking.

Camille said they didn't encounter many undead, but they were powerful, causing her to lose many of her men, including Vi, who was injured and has now returned to base to recuperate.

Ashe's face was filled with grief. I looked closely at her squad and noticed that one person was missing: the warrior Kled, who must have been killed in battle.

The battle has progressed to this point, and casualties have begun to appear. In fact, this is inevitable; even we might die here.

But we've finally overcome another hurdle. The next enemy is Vladimir, whom we've faced before. Hopefully, things will be better. Before that, we need to rest and recuperate.
