130 Desperate Situation

On the sluice bridge, some of the soldiers of the Grey Legion were unaware of what was happening. Then came the rain of fire, the poisonous wind, the icy fog, and the Heavy Pressure...

Thanks to the continuous exploration and improvement of the Yuan Chu Axiom by Yuentar, attacks from the Elemental Master have been staged one after another on this bridge through different structures and combinations.

Limited by the terrain, these soldiers didn't even have a way to retreat.

The sea surged on both sides, forming water bombs, ice spikes, and giant waves that came one after another.

Located in the center of the legion, facing the continuous attacks, even Falis could only grit her teeth and keep shrinking the range of her Crimson Cloak.

Because she could clearly feel that the Crimson Cloak was being worn down at an unimaginable speed under the attacks of these mages.

Admittedly, this cloak, resembling flowing blood, possesses resistance far exceeding the norm. But ultimately, it is merely an epic-level Magic Item.

Such Magic Item are indeed extremely rare; many mages only ever use a staff of excellent or superior quality in their entire lives before passing away in a haphazard manner.

But Yuentar are different... Although epic-level items are incredibly precious to Yuentar, the symbol of becoming Yuentar is a solidified magic robe woven on Vidalion Loom.

With these guaranteed epic-grade robes as a safety net, the Elemental Master of Yuentar hardly need to worry about energy until the massive amount of magic stored inside their robes is depleted.

Similarly, this also means that these Elemental Master don't need to worry about consumption at all, and can freely unleash large-scale, powerful offensive magic in a lavish manner!

Before long, Falis clearly felt that the Blood Pool in her body was severely depleted— Blood Magic is different from ordinary magic.

Although it is still a type of magic and belongs to the major category of magic, as a variant of Arcane Magic, this magic rooted in flesh and blood uses the user's own blood as the medium for the flow of magical power.

In this state, every blood mage possesses a magical pool called the "Blood Pool." When the Blood Pool is full, the Blood Pool Blood Magic can gain Spellcasting speed and destructive power far exceeding that of conventional magic.

However, once the Blood Pool is depleted or exhausted, the price to pay will be the user's own blood!

But how much of the user's own blood... is that?!

Realizing she couldn't delay any longer, a serious look appeared in Falis's eyes. She then growled, "Enough! Soldiers! Bring that harp over!!"

Upon hearing Falis's words, the soldiers were terrified, but they suppressed their panic and quickly carried out Falis's orders.

To avoid excessive contact, the Darkin Harp is now tightly wrapped in thick cowhide and sealed with heavy iron chains, giving the impression that it is not a weapon but some kind of ferocious beast.

Looking at the harp, a hint of fear flickered in Falis's eyes. But sensing the surging energy outside and the rapidly dwindling Blood Pool within her...

Gritting her teeth, with a flash of madness in her eyes, Falis emptied the Blood Pool. Through the transformation of her blood-red cloak, the surging blood magic burst outwards through the cloak, and the scattered blood light shattered the continuously forming elements.

During a brief lull, Falis glanced at Yuan Chen and the others and growled:

"That's enough, Yixialian! You should know what this is!"

As she spoke, Falis stretched out her arm, and her all-steel gauntlet landed on the chain. Although it was just a slight movement, a flash of blood appeared on her arm as Falis forcefully snapped the iron chain, which was as thick as a child's arm, revealing the harp under the parchment.

"I won't give you a chance to regret this! Die, all of you!!"

Suppressing her anger, Falis had no intention of ending things through any "gentle" means.

As Vladimir's confidante, Falis certainly knew what the Dark Descendant weapons represented.

If an ordinary person comes into contact with a Dark Descendant weapon, their consciousness will be devoured by the Dark Descendant within the weapon in an instant, turning them into a shell for the Dark Descendant's reincarnation, a walking corpse.

But Falis knew that as long as her spirit was strong enough, she could use this transcendent power originating from the Ascended of ancient times before she was completely devoured!

And there's no need to worry after it's over. Because she had made thorough preparations when she arrived here.

Relying on the unique nature of Blood Magic, through Blood Exchange Ritual, the price of being devoured by the Dark Descendant can be transferred to someone else to die in their place!

Upon noticing Falis's actions, Yuan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; he suddenly realized that history here had been altered...

If Styraatu had not been awakened before this... or rather, had not received guidance from her future self to maintain her sanity, then with the awakening of consciousness, Styraatu, who had fallen to the Dark Descendant, would inevitably ignite the entire Piltover in her rage.

And now...

Feeling Yuan Chen's solemn gaze, Falis felt a surge of indescribable pleasure.

Because it wasn't just Yuan Chen; the other masters also changed color upon seeing the Darkin Harp, its form existing only in ancient books.

The Dark Descendant, terrifying monsters that brought centuries of chaos to Runeterra... In Shurima's most glorious era, hundreds of Ascended Celestial Warrior brought the entire Runeterra to their knees.

The Darkin War themselves were one of the most significant historical events that led Ixialia to choose to close its borders!

Feeling the solemnity and hidden panic in the eyes of these Elemental Masters, Falis felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Without the slightest hesitation, she tore off her armor and swiftly placed it on the eerie flesh and blood harp.

Buzz!!

The flesh and blood of life made contact with the body of the Darkin Harp, and an explosive sound burst forth from the strings, spreading heat throughout the space that was originally filled with the Yuan Chu Axiom at an alarming speed!

And those intermittently appearing geometric elements vanished at an astonishing speed under the impact of the explosive piano music.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The alloy-constructed gate bridge emitted a piercing, cracking noise, and as Falis felt this immense power, a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes.

She could sense that even if she were facing a giant dragon, she would still be able to win!
