174 Void's Assault
Holy crap, immunity??
Upon seeing the effects of the Elemental Lord, Yuan Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
It's important to know that Elemental Magic has always been the most practiced form of magic in Runeterra, bar none.
Because learning magic requires extremely high talent, such as the Arcane Magic that Ryze possesses, it often requires an innate and exceptional perception of pure magical power.
Those who possess such pure magical perception are few and far between, and those with exceptional talent are perhaps one in a million.
The reason why Arcane Magic has such high requirements is largely because there is no stable reference point in the material world.
It is difficult for people to imagine an object they have never seen before, let alone an energy form they have never seen before.
In this case, the element becomes the best choice --
It possesses a stable physical form, has sufficient references in the material world, exists in many different forms depending on its properties, and can extend into sufficiently powerful branches, which can be combined to form even more powerful elements.
In this context, it is no exaggeration to say that at least 90% of the mages in the world practice Elemental Magic.
Immune to elemental damage below mythic level... This is even more outrageous than Demacia's Mana Stone.
Thinking about it, Yuan Chen shook his head with some emotion.
News of Qiyana's impending awakening quickly reached Sem Therm.
Some rushed over, and only after seeing Qiyana sleeping peacefully in the bedroom did the Sage of the Sem breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after noticing the chaotic elemental fluctuations around him, Sem Therm quickly realized that something was wrong.
As Elemental Master, Sem Therm was well aware of this chaotic elemental fluctuation—
Or, to put it another way, what does elemental turbulence represent?
"Was there a battle here? No, what happened here?"
Upon hearing Sem Sem's question, Yuan Chen simply nodded, then recounted what he had seen with a hint of astonishment.
Upon learning the effects of the "Elemental Lord" trait, even the Sage of Sem couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
Not to mention the powerful effects such as no cost for Spellcasting, spell resonance, and spell break, the elemental damage immunity alone is enough to make people gasp.
"Mythical class... But the Dreadlord, wasn't it rated Epic in your assessment? Why has it become Mythical now?"
Sem Serm asked with some surprise:
"According to what you've said, to obtain a mythical profession, one must at least master power as formidable as the Heavenly Power. While World Rune are powerful, they only represent a portion of magic distorted by the World Rune..."
"It's because Qiyana herself possesses the Epic Class 'Great Elementalist'."
Yuan Chen glanced at Sem, then shook his head and said:
"Although Qiyana hasn't awakened this class, it has already granted Qiyana Spellcasting abilities in Elemental Magic far exceeding those of ordinary people."
"You can think of the potion as a wedge; as the power of the World Rune allowed Qiyana to enter the gap between the two realms, it also connected Qiyana's own perception of the elements to more realms, enabling her to directly control and unleash Elemental Magic as an 'Elemental Spirit.'"
After a pause, Yuan Chen shook his head and said:
"But this is just speculation, because I wasn't the one who took the drug. To truly find the truth, we need to wait until Qiyana wakes up and the war ends before we have enough time for detailed research."
Upon hearing this, after a moment of silence, Sem nodded thoughtfully.
He then glanced at Qiyana, turned around, and left the room with Yuan Chen in tacit agreement.
He instructed the maid to keep a close eye on Qiyana and to call for help immediately if she showed any signs of waking up. Then Yuan Chen turned his gaze to Sem Serm.
"About Ne'Zuk..."
"The results were minimal."
Sem Seraph sighed and said:
"Blood Magic stitched the spirit and body of the ancestor Ne'Zuk back together, and under the influence of the Dark Descendant Crystal, even the Vidalion Loom could only maintain the separation for a short time."
"And once it stops operating, Ne'Zuk Nazuk will quickly return to his sealed state... We cannot be certain whether Ne'Zuk Nazuk's will maintains clarity; the only certainty is that communication is possible."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Reaching the top of the city wall, Yuan Chen glanced at the impregnable border wall, reinforced by countless Elemental Masters. Yuan Chen was certain that, in terms of defensive capabilities, unless all the city-state armies on the Valoran continent could set aside their differences and launch a combined, all-out attack, no matter how many came, it would be in vain.
Including the time it took to separate the Uroa's Elixir and for Qiyana to complete her class change, four weeks have passed since Yuan Chen arrived here...
In other words, according to Jax's estimate, there are at most two weeks until the Void Creature arrive.
Time is a bit tight...
In just two short weeks, they had to separate Ne'Zuk, try to persuade him, and get him to join the war...
If it were any other Dark Descendant, Yuan Chen felt there would be some chance. But Ne'Zuk was different; he was historically known as a "tyrant."
The only reassuring thing was that he was also Yixialian...
I just wonder if he still remembers this after all this time.
Just as Yuan Chen was still thinking, Yuan Chen suddenly raised his head.
Not only Yuan Chen, but almost all the Yixialian in the surrounding area raised their heads.
To fend off the approaching Void Creature, all civilians Ixialia have now been evacuated.
It can be said that now the entire county is left with only fully armed soldiers, ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Now, almost everyone can sense an indescribable atmosphere spreading through the surrounding environment.
The aura was chaotic, twisted, and filled with hatred. Although it could not be observed with the naked eye, everyone could sense the indescribable oppressive atmosphere through their elemental perception.
In contrast to the perceptual dullness, the external environment was quite the opposite—
Silence, an eerie silence, seemed to have stopped even in the dense jungle.
It was like the calm before the storm.
In an instant, a deafening roar erupted!
A giant worm, nearly ten meters long, dark purple, cylindrical, and wrinkled all over, resembling a maggot, rose from the ground, opened its four-lobed Kog'Maw, and roared with a harsh growl.
Accompanied by a torrential downpour of saliva, one after another, Void cubs the size of an adult's upper body fell like rain.
And emerging from the torrential rain was a slender, long-bodied insect messenger with four arms, two tails, and one tentacle floating on its head.
"Listen, be angry."
