I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

Therefore, in order to protect himself, Mokai had no choice but to make a drastic decision.

Chapter Nine, The Battle of the Demigods

At this moment, Maokai could only sever the decaying and eroded tree roots and try his best to shrink the roots buried underground toward the surface.

But to everyone's surprise, those fallen tree roots, under the corrosive influence of the black mist, transformed into evil spirits that lunged at Maokai's roots.

To avoid the evil spirits tearing at the roots.

Maokai's body, which was originally nearly 100 meters tall, shrank to less than 10 meters in a very short time, and all of its roots were returned to the ground.

"Mou!!!!"

A deafening roar resounded.

Maokai stared intently at Fryego, his eyes burning with a palpable rage.

The deep-seated hatred between the two is self-evident.

"Hello, spirit of nature."

Unlike the raging fury in Maokai's eyes, Foygo's eyes held only calm and a hint of emotion.

After all, if he could, Fóyego wouldn't want to come to this point.

Unfortunately, this is the current situation; the blood feud between Fuguang Island and Foyego is irreconcilable.

"That hateful evil spirit!"

"go to hell!!!"

The rage in his heart had distorted Maokai's mind, making it impossible for him to even think rationally when facing Feuergo.

Maokai stretched out his branches, instantly unleashing a spray of vines that lashed out at Foygo.

Every vine is filled with the power of nature and life.

Life and death are natural enemies, and if this blow had actually landed on Foygo, the damage would likely have been considerable.

Unfortunately, it only counts if you can hit the target.

With a light leap, his figure was like that of a nimble bird, soaring into the air to dodge the attack.

He stood there in the air, gazing at Mokai with pity.

In fact, there is a certain degree of resemblance between Folyad and Mokae in some mysterious way.

The reaction between the Blade of Ruin and the Blessed Isle's Fountain of Life triggered the Curse of Ruin.

The Fountain of Life turned into black mist, which became the source of Foygo's power.

Similarly, before the Fountain of Life turned into black mist, it was also the source of Maokai's power.

In other words, it was Foygo who took away Maokai's source of power.

Maokai had lost his source of power and was being corrupted by the eruption of the Curse of Ruin; he was no longer at his peak.

Maokai's strength has declined to a point where he can hardly threaten Foygo anymore.

......

In Fryegor's memory, Runeterra was divided into Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Legendary ranks from lowest to highest strength.

Above the legendary level, one can be broadly categorized into the "demigod" realm.

Among demigods, there are strong and weak. The weak ones include Maokai and some low- to mid-ranking demons, while the strong ones include ascendants and high-ranking demons.

At this moment, according to the strength classification, Foygo should also be at the demigod level.

Only those beings with enough power to crush demigods can be called "true gods".

Theoretically speaking, there cannot be a true god in the entire Runeterra.

Otherwise, it would invite interference from the Protoss.

Therefore, demigods are the strongest beings in the mortal realm.

......

At this moment, Maokai first lost his source of power, and then was corrupted by the Curse of Ruin.

He lost at least two-thirds of his strength.

Although he has the foundation of a demigod, which is incomparable to ordinary legendary powerhouses, he is at most somewhere between a demigod and a legend.

Battles between demigods cannot be predicted using specific realms.

As demigods, we'll only know who's stronger after we fight.

Furthermore, battles between demigods are also affected by the environment of the arena.

For example, right now, no one can defeat Fryeglor on the Shadow Isles!

As for Yorick, he probably didn't even reach the gold level...

In other words, the mighty Shepherd of Souls is nothing more than an Unyielding Silver.

......

If Fóyír could spare Yorik's life...

As for Maokai, he had to kill him!

Both are deep-seated blood feuds.

The difference is that Yorick can ignore it.

However, Maokai does pose a certain degree of threat.

As for Maokai, Fóyago didn't want to end up harming him instead of killing him.

In other words, Maokai must die!

He didn't want this twisted tree spirit to suddenly appear and attack him at a crucial moment.

And isn't the same true for Mokai?

Kill Fouyego! Kill the culprit who destroyed Blessed Light Island!

This is also Maokai's obsession at this moment!

Seeing Fryegor floating in the air, Maokai, though not skilled in anti-air combat, was not helpless.

On Maokai's branches, roots and buds quickly sprouted, giving rise to many small saplings full of vitality!

Immediately afterwards, the vines on Maokai's body tossed all the saplings into the air.

In the eyes of these saplings, a burning desire for revenge also blazed.

Using the immense force of the branches of the Maokai tree, they all fearlessly flew towards Foygo.

To this, Fóyego simply waved his hand.

The black mist instantly transformed into a barrier, blocking his way.

The saplings exploded in mid-air the moment they came into contact with the black mist.

A dense life force poured down over the Shadow Isles, and in an instant, the sky above the Shadow Isles was covered by the aura of life.

But that was only for a brief moment.

However, in the face of the endless black fog, the self-destruction of these saplings was merely a drop in the ocean, having no practical effect whatsoever.

Seeing that the explosion of the saplings had no effect, Maokai temporarily halted his offensive.

After all, if it really came down to a long fight, ten Maokais couldn't outlast one Fryego.

(Please give me flowers and reviews!)

Chapter Ten, Three Major Illusions of Tree Life

Seeing that Maokai's offensive had stopped, Foygo waved his hand toward the ground.

The endless black mist of the Shadow Isles, accompanied by the wailing of vengeful spirits, surged straight toward Maokai and Yorick!

In this endless tide of black mist, Yorick felt as if he were an ant, about to be swallowed up by the churning, boiling black tide at any moment.

Faced with this vast and destructive power, Maokai did not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"The forest will flourish again!!!"

Maokai roared, and a soft green light emanated from the thick tree trunk.

In an instant, countless trees burst forth from the earth around Maokai, forming a verdant barrier in front of Maokai and Yorick.

The black mist rolled in, and the barrier formed by these trees only held out for a moment before being eroded and destroyed by the mist.

Maokai knew that these alone were far from enough to stop Foyego's tide of black mist.

"Become one with nature!!"

With Maokai's low growl, a dense, dark green light barrier appeared around him, transforming into a circular vortex that protected him and Yorick within it.

A vortex of revenge!!
