The map Evelynn gave me didn't show Mordekaiser's exact location, nor did it contain any description. I don't know if she did it intentionally or if she simply didn't know. 6͎9͎s͎h͎u͎x͎.͎c͎o͎m͎

We climbed the mountain again, passing the ruins of Karthus's Paradise and Vladimir's three-dimensional magic circle, and finally saw a cloud of Black Mist at the summit.

This is the last Black Mist on the Shadow Isles, and also its deepest ailment. If this place is successfully purified, then this operation will have come to a perfect end.

Upon entering the Black Mist, the aura of death intensified, causing the Life Rune to emit an even more lustrous glow.

At the same time, I noticed that the Primal Crystal on my body had turned into the bluish-green color of the undead, which seemed to be due to the influence of the Death Rune.

As I walked, the faint green light ahead became clearer and clearer. I knew Mordekaiser was there, but I didn't expect it to be a barren wasteland without any buildings.

Strangely, I didn't sense any particularly strong aura from him. Could it be that he hasn't recovered yet and is therefore very weak? If that's the case, that would be wonderful!

Upon closer inspection, we finally discovered the source of the eerie green light: a suit of armor lying on the ground, next to which lay Mordekaiser's infamous weapon— Nightfall.

Udyr was equally puzzled upon seeing it. "Is this armor the real thing?"

"Be careful, everyone surround him!"

After I finished speaking, Djis and the others immediately transformed and surrounded the armored figure. Varus and Swain were also ready.

I silently gathered the Wind Spear; since it wasn't moving, I could calmly increase Wind Spear power.

Just as I thought the Wind Spear's power had reached its peak and I was preparing to attack, a voice suddenly came from the location of the armor:

"You arrived earlier than I expected."

Here's a gift for you!

After I finished speaking, I threw the Wind Spear, which hit the helmet accurately, but there was no response; there was neither a sound of impact nor did it pierce the helmet.

At this moment, the armor finally moved, and the cold black iron slowly pieced together to form a human shape, with a green light emanating from its chest cavity, which must contain Death Rune!

"I don't like this gift. Unfortunately, I need some more time to reach my peak condition. I didn't expect that those useless guys not only couldn't beat you, but they couldn't even hold you off for a month or two."

"Don't think your subordinates are useless, because the root cause of this situation is very likely your own incompetence."

"Hahaha... This is the first time I've heard someone say I'm useless. You're a very courageous survivor, and you even managed to get your hands on Life Rune."

"Rumors say you're a tyrannical king, but you seem quite amiable now. How about we resolve this through conversation?"

"Judging from your strength, you are not weak. If I were to force a fight, I would have no chance of winning. So let's hear your thoughts. I'm curious how life and death can be reconciled."

"You continue to rule your Shadow Isles, and do not interfere with the world of the living. We will leave immediately."

"Oh? If I agree, will you believe me?"

"I believe you, but you'll have to lend me the Death Rune for a moment."

"Unfortunately, I will not lend you the Death Rune, nor will I be content with just the Shadow Isles. I am Emperor Uzul of Noxus, and I will reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to me!"

After Mordekaiser finished speaking, he brandished his mace and charged at us. We did not back down and fought him with all our might!

Mordekaiser is highly skilled in hand-to- Martial Arts, wields a powerful mace, and is further enhanced by the Death Rune, making him difficult to approach.

Ranged attacks disappear without a trace when they reach him, and they only have some effect after being enhanced by Life Rune. But the problem is that he doesn't have a physical body, so even if you successfully hit him, it's useless.

Before setting off, we considered many ways to deal with him. Given that he was impossible to kill, Swain suggested using a sealing magic circle to counter him. If that didn't work, we could try using Nullifying Weapon.

This situation has now occurred. Not long after the battle began, Swain set up a magic circle, and the powerful sealing force rushed towards Mordekaiser, with a huge raven claw firmly binding his body!

We immediately followed up and launched an attack. At that moment, Mordekaiser suddenly chanted a spell, and Ravenclaw directly shifted its target, no longer binding his armored body, but instead tightly gripping Swain!

Mordekaiser sneered, "Ha, the binding power of the Black Ravens, who did you learn this magic from?"

"Your former subordinate, LeBlanc."

"Heh, so LeBlanc betrayed me. I really don't know how she broke the Master-Servant Contract. But have you ever considered that I taught her all her magic?"

"I've thought about it, and I think using your magic against you might be more effective."

"Interesting. I'll spare you for now and see what other surprises you have in store for me!"

After Mordekaiser finished speaking, he reached out and pushed Swain back to his original position with ease, a hint of arrogance in his expression. He didn't believe anyone here could hurt him!

Since the sealing magic circle is useless now, we can only try using Nullifying Weapon. Ordinary Nullifying Weapon are definitely not strong enough; only weapons forged by Jergente can put up a fight.

Before leaving, Gangplank handed the Demon-Binding Blade to Udyr, who then transformed into a nimble ape and swung the sword at him.

Udyr usually fights with his fists and animal spirits, but he is surprisingly good with weapons as well. He often manages to dodge Mordekaiser's mace and leave scratches on Mordekaiser's sturdy armor!

Now there was finally hope. As long as we kept attacking in one spot, we would eventually be able to cut through his armor!

Mordekaiser quickly responded, chanting a few incantations we couldn't understand, which caused bursts of iron sand to rise around him, just like the magic circle around Karthus; anyone who touched it would feel an intense stinging pain.

Kayle was able to fight within Karthus's magic circle back then thanks to her powerful physique, and now it was no exception. Udyr handed her the Demon-Binding Blade, letting her take the lead in the attack.

Kayle fearlessly took on this heavy responsibility, wielding the Demon-Binding Blade and slashing, but the dense, black iron sand couldn't harm her at all!

It turns out that angels are not only physically strong, but their naturally formed clothing is also very sturdy, and their Angel Feather are the strongest defense!

Mordekaiser, who had initially been aggressive, was now being forced back by Kayle, and soon even had his arm severed, his mace falling to the ground!

He quickly used magic to reattach his arm and hammer; it seemed that he couldn't be destroyed unless the Death Rune was removed.

"Attack his chest cavity and remove the Death Rune!"

"Alright!" Kayle responded, and the attack became even more ferocious.
