The Void Terror
The monster is slightly smaller than Kog'Maw and is very easy to spot: Cho'Gath. 👣🔥 🐍♡
This creature, known as the Void Terror, has an extremely ferocious appearance. Its massive teeth resemble swords piercing its upper and lower jaws, and two sharp spikes on its head point forward like bull horns.
Although Cho'Gath is not very big now, I know it has unlimited potential to grow and will become enormous as it devours more and more enemies!
"I will destroy you and make you my food!"
It roared as it marched toward us, easily breaching the several-meter-thick rock wall.
"I'll deal with it," Strucker said simply, transforming into a dragon and charging forward.
Having learned my lesson from Morren, I dared not let Strucker deal with it alone again. The closest enemy on this defensive line to us is the fire dragon Gray, so I instructed Corki to call him over.
The battle was brutal, but the Yordle showed no fear whatsoever; some even seemed to be playing around.
Poppy showed her bravery by swinging her sledgehammer; she couldn't handle large monsters, but she could smash small ones into mincemeat.
Tristana laughed as she fired, occasionally spinning around from the powerful recoil of the cannons—a scene that never fails to make you laugh, no matter how many times you watch it.
Rumble's combat mech has been modified by Heimerdinger, transforming it from a small creature into a giant, and it's equipped with a plethora of Hextech Weapons, enabling it to both burn and bomb from a distance and cut and crush in close combat.
Zam and Teemo employ guerrilla tactics, appearing and disappearing intermittently. While their impact is minimal, they can still limit the monsters' advance.
The happiest of all was Jiggs, who could use Fire Element power and had an inexhaustible supply of bombs in his hands, which he threw out in all sorts of ways. Some of the large bombs could even wipe out entire groups of monsters.
Especially after the fire dragon Gray arrived, Jiggs had no shortage of fire sources and single-handedly created the feeling of an army.
Of course, fighting bravely did not guarantee victory. We retreated continuously, and the Void Creatures gradually surrounded us on the shore.
By daybreak, our area of activity had shrunk considerably. Several giant dragons, including Garr, were getting closer and closer, and the Wind Dragon Qifu had also joined the ranks of those trying to eliminate Cho'Gath.
Cho'Gath wasn't very strong in combat until it grew large enough, and now that the twilight that boosted monsters was long gone, it was gradually becoming unable to withstand the combined attack of the three dragons.
Soon Strucker pried open its Kog'Maw and ripped off the lower jaw with a powerful jerk, while at the same time its hard claws were pierced by Cho'Gath's sharp teeth.
However, this did not have any adverse effects; on the contrary, his claws became even larger—not from redness and swelling, but from strengthening!
Stellar's... Challenge Gauntlets?
I suddenly remembered a piece of equipment in the game that might be related to this powerful Ancient Rock Dragon!
As Strucker's claws grew larger, they tore at Cho'Gath's body even more recklessly, eventually ripping open its belly. Upon seeing this, Chiff immediately launched an attack, slicing Kog'Maw in two with a sharp Wind Blade.
"It's been so long since we brothers worked together, haha! You're still as amazing as ever, Strucker!"
"Thank you for your help, brother."
Chiff played with great enthusiasm, but Strucker's response remained brief, seemingly consistent with everyone, not just us.
To my surprise, after Cho'Gath was killed, a little guy crawled out of his belly—it was Mangi!
So he was swallowed whole! No wonder he didn't come to meet us!
Fortunately, the little guy wasn't digested; his beautiful white fur just turned dirty and was dripping with Cho'Gath's stomach acid.
It seems that the Yordle's size has its advantages; if they were large, they would inevitably be sliced to pieces by Cho'Gath's sharp teeth.
After escaping, Mangi showed no fear. Instead, she pulled out various combat devices from her pocket and joined us, fighting against the Void's invasion with burning rage.
The monsters are endless. Seeing that most of the people on the bridge had left, we prepared to escape as well, otherwise we would be trapped in a difficult situation again, just like before.
As for those who didn't catch up, I can only apologize.
"All the survivors, come aboard! We'll fly over!"
Garr mustered his strength and unleashed a Golden Light horizontally, killing the monster closest to us. Then he spread his wings to let everyone climb up.
After fighting for so long, apart from a few of us strong fighters who were holding off the monsters, there weren't many people left. Everyone jumped onto Garr's back and rose into the air.
There weren't many monsters in the air, and they were all relatively weak, easily killed by the dragons.
Once we reached the other side, I saw many ordinary dragons waiting in the air. They were descendants of these Ancient Dragons, and they had now joined the battle.
By this time, a number of monsters had gathered on the stone bridge. Strucker simply removed the stone bridge, causing them all to fall into the water.
Suddenly the sea became turbulent. Besides the monster, there were many giant sharks. On one of the giant sharks stood a tiny figure—it was Fizz!
After Fizz separated from us, he said he was going to find Garr, so it seems he's been assigned to defend here.
The sharks opened their massive jaws to welcome the food that fell into the water, but it was unclear whether they could digest it. If the sharks turned into void fish monsters, that would be another problem.
We don't have time to watch the show; we need to get back to the Deno Camp now so that Ornn and Ers can expand the defensive lines!
On the way back, I ran into another acquaintance; actually, she saw me first.
"Yasuo, your team's fight was so cool!"
"Taliyah? Have you been here all this time?"
"Yes, I've been practicing rock manipulation with Master Strucker, I never imagined he was a dragon!"
"Haha, he's no ordinary dragon, but Ancient Dragon."
"Ancient Dragon? Is it very old? But it doesn't look that old."
"You can ask him! Come on, I'll take you to him!"
"Never mind, Teacher. Strucker isn't a talkative person. He said he'll come to me when he needs my instruction, and I shouldn't bother him at other times..."
"Hmm... he is indeed not very talkative, but since he promised you, he won't go back on his word. In any case, learning to manipulate rocks from him is the right choice!"
"Yes! But I still want to thank you, Master Yasuo. Without your teaching of the fundamentals, I'm afraid even Teacher Strucker wouldn't have thought much of me."
"Haha, actually it's mostly your talent. Otherwise, no matter how well you learn, the Ancient Dragon wouldn't have accepted you as its disciple. Keep it up!"
"Um!"
It's unexpected that Taliyah has become Strucker's apprentice. But that's perfect. With her talent and the guidance of the Rock Dragon, she's sure to achieve great things in the future!
Instead of following the refugees, we rushed back to the Deno Camp first. Jarvan, Darius, Ashe, Sejuani were all there; they were going to announce Camille's status and guarantee her authority.
