Extra Story: The Beauty with a Serpent's Heart (Part Two)

After decades of fighting, Iloza pacified many southern tribes, and her reputation as a femme fatale spread far and wide. 💲🐼 🍬🎃

However, along with glory came more criticism, but Iloza didn't care. She had already achieved her ideal, and now it was time to Shurima's territory.

During this period, several Ascended were born in Naremajet, raising the overall strength of the region to a new level.

Sometimes the areas where everyone is fighting overlap, but generally there will be no conflict. However, on one occasion, Iloza accidentally wounded dozens of friendly soldiers, who were Rebeca's troops.

One was ruthless, the other loved his soldiers like his own children; conflict was inevitable.

At first, Iloza chose to be tolerant, but she hadn't forgotten that only a few people were present when she ascended, including Rebeca, who was already Ascended.

But faced with her relentless pursuit, especially her contemptuous gaze, Iloza finally snapped.

The two fought fiercely, each displaying their unique skills, until Aatrox arrived in time to stop them.

This was the first clash between Ascended, and also the beginning of the breakdown in the relationship between Iloza and Rebeca. For the next two hundred years, the two clashed several times, with neither gaining the upper hand, and each time causing great destruction.

Later, Shetaka built the magnificent Sun City as its new capital, Rebeca was sent to conquer the east, which resolved the conflict between the two.

The two never met again until the Void War broke out.

Over the centuries, the number of Ascended has continued to grow, Shurima army has been invincible, establishing a vast empire that spans the entire continent.

Only a few tribes are still putting up a stubborn resistance, including Icathia in the southeast corner, yet this southeastern corner almost brought down the entire empire.

When the Void War broke out, Iloza was feeling bored. He had been idle for a long time and no war could satisfy his sadistic desires.

Upon hearing that a monster capable of killing Ascended had appeared in Icathia, he rushed there without hesitation.

The horrific sight of the Void Rift was unbearable to behold, but for Iloza it was paradise.

He charged into the horde of monsters, bathed in dark purple blood. When his golden eyes lost their petrifying power, he used his venomous fangs. When the fangs were too inefficient, he simply crushed and devoured them.

In the end, only half of his Siblings charged into battle with him survived, and the survivors successfully sealed the rift.

At this moment, Iloza felt a sense of loneliness. He didn't actually want to seal the rift; he felt that he was also a monster and wanted to continue fighting monsters.

However, the loneliness was soon dispelled. The sharp decline in the number of Ascended led to rebellions in various places, forcing them to wage war again to consolidate their rule.

The repetitive nature of life caused time to fly by, Shurima rose from its lowest point to become strong again, thanks to the young Emperor Azir.

Iloza had always been loyal to the Shetaka bloodline, and she held high hopes for this young emperor.

Perhaps he can achieve true unity of Shurima.

Unfortunately, Azir was betrayed and was blasted to ashes by Solar Energy on the day of his ascension.

The oath lost its power, and the Ascended did not know whom to be loyal to. Aatrox disappeared, and Rebeca was nowhere to be found. The clash of ideologies led them into a chaotic battle.

Iloza loved war, and this scene aroused his long-dormant bloodlust. However, he was soon sealed by the Twilight Aspect and fell into a deep sleep.

A thousand years passed in this slumber. Iloza was not unconscious in her sleep, but she simply could not wake up.

He hated the Twilight Aspect, hated the War Aspect, hated that they had taken away his freedom.

When Iloza awoke again, she saw a mage in a long robe standing before her; he had awakened her!

Iloza tried to break free of the seal but couldn't, nor could she possess the mage's body. At this moment, the mage noticed her struggle:

"Are you awake? Hehe."

"Who are you?"

"I am Aatrox's friend, searching for you and trying to find a way to rescue you."

"Lord Aatrox? And you said you could save me?"

"It's not just you; Qilisi, Bai Juen, Rhaast, and others have all been freed from their seals and are fighting for a shared new world."

"Ha, I don't care what kind of world it is, as long as it's built on destruction, I'll like it!"

"Alright, let Aatrox tell you the rest. I'll help you break the seal first."

The mage placed a corpse at Iloza's feet. It was a beautiful woman, and two round holes in her arm indicated that she had been killed by a poisonous snake.

Following the mage's guidance, Iloza slowly entered the woman's consciousness; she needed her consent to possess the body.

This beautiful woman has quite a background; she is Cassiopeia, the youngest daughter of the legendary Noxus general Dukao.

She had always lived with her mother Solaeana, and was later brought into the Black Rose by her mother, becoming a member of it.

Not long ago, she came to Shurima on her mother's orders to find the legendary Ascended Blade Khopesh, and hired the famous treasure hunter Sivir as her guide.

She later successfully found Khopesh, but an accident occurred during the robbery, and Khopesh was returned to its rightful owner, leaving Cassiopeia to leave disappointed.

On her way back, she encountered another accident, being bitten by a rare black-bellied snake, which quickly took her life.

Members of the Black Rose are all protected by a restriction that automatically shuts down their thoughts after they lose consciousness, preventing the secret from being revealed.

So when Iloza's voice came through, Cassiopeia was very surprised.

"Beautiful girl, will you join me in destroying this world?"

How did you manage to invade my mind?

"A mage helped out; he said he was LeBlanc's friend, so you'll agree."

"Then you can bring me back to life?"

"Yes, if you're willing, we can both be resurrected..."

After some discussion, Cassiopeia agreed, Iloza swiftly broke free of her seal and entered her body, thus giving birth to a powerful Vastaya!

Because Iloza was too powerful, she took control of the body, and Cassiopeia had no power to fight back.

Of course, she didn't want to fight back, because Iloza's style of doing things suited her taste perfectly!

In the final battle in Ionia, Iloza encountered her old rival Rebeca, and she couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of fate.

Unfortunately, although the two had faced off several times before with no clear winner, this time he lost.

His golden eyes were blinded, his fangs were pulled out, and his strong serpentine body was cut into several pieces by the Oretal Ring Blade.

"If I hadn't been asleep for so long, I definitely wouldn't have lost to you, Rebeca."

"That's not true, Iloza. You lost to me because you turned your back on the sun, not because you slept for a long time."

After Iloza died, Rebeca could no longer hold on and collapsed.

She hadn't actually won; the life force within her had long been completely eroded by the snake venom.

However, it was Iloza who died first, and Rebeca was able to bid him farewell as a victor.
