Xerath was thrown to the temple not far away.The stone pillars were knocked open, and dust from the house surged out along the cracks.Huge slabs of stone fell from the top.

But none of these can cause any effective harm to Xerath.

"It's been such a long time..." Xerath floated into the air again, and at the same time used a thunder magic to push back the strange mortal who wanted to rush up to bite him. "Nasus, after a thousand years, do you still naively think you can stop me?"

"I'll get you back underground," Nasus promised through gritted teeth.

Xerath's body burned brighter, as if he was showing off his power and expressing his disdain.

"You had your beloved siblings to help you then. And now, tell me, have you ever seen Renekton since the doors of our shared prison cell opened?"

"Don't mention his name...!" Nasus growled like a hungry wolf.

"Have you seen what he looks like now?"

Nasus said nothing, but Xerath laughed, a laugh like the shriek of warring fire spirits.

"Of course you didn't see it." The fire in Xerath's body swayed with a sinister smile. "He'll kill you when he sees you."

These words stabbed into Nasus' heart like a needle.

Ridiculous as it sounded, he knew... Xerath was telling the truth.

During these thousands of years, although he never saw Renekton again, he could feel Xerath's bewitchment and destruction... and there was nothing he could do.

Renekton, his dearest brother... but now he wants to kill him...

"Your power should belong to Azir..." Nasus said in a low voice, "You are not the one chosen by the sun."

Faced with Nasus's sarcasm, Xerath smiled contemptuously - he was not afraid of anyone who wanted to verbally attack him - during the thousand years of being sealed, he used his words to trick and bewitch Renekton in different ways every day. .

That stupid crocodile.

"Oh..." Xerath's voice rose and his tone became more playful. "You know, Renekton isn't either, but he became an 'Ascendant', didn't he?"

Hearing this, Nasus's face became even more gloomy.

He was a little angry when he failed to ridicule but was ridiculed, and immediately rushed forward regardless.

And this plays into Xerath's scheme.

A magical shock wave erupted, and the strong wind swept away the crowd like falling leaves.Recent buildings were also knocked down by the shaking of the ground.

Nasus rushed forward and was hit by this magical attack.

The comet-like energy ball hit his chest, blasting his extraordinary flesh into bloody pieces. The concussive energy contained in it made his brain go blank in a short time.

"Stupid! Does a being like you deserve to be called the Grand Maester of Shurima?"

Xerath floated closer, and more and stronger magic blasted at Nasus without restraint.

"But your brother is weaker... Oh, of course, you should have known that. He fell apart faster than I thought. I just told him that you left him in the dark. You and him Enemies are trapped together and left to fend for themselves.”

"Shut up... don't mention his name...!" Nasus endured the severe pain and stepped forward again, swinging his ax to throw away another series of screaming white light orbs.

Then, he thrust out an axe, releasing a withering force.Xerath was hurt and angry, and the fire in his heart beat, but there was no sign of dimming.

"Childish magic...I'm here to show you true power!"

Xerath raised his hands, and a terrifying energy beam converged above his head.

But Nasus just smiled disdainfully.

Xerath felt a little surprised... and something was wrong.

But by the time he reacted, it was already too late - the strange mortal he had been wary of appeared inexplicably behind him, and the long sword burning with golden flames struck directly.

Ka-!

This time, Xerath's illusory body was cut in half.

However, this kind of injury that would be fatal to ordinary people was nothing to him.

The two halves of his body made of energy fell in mid-air and reunited before landing.

"Take advantage of the victory and pursue!"

Before Xerath could regroup his magic, Nasus rushed forward regardless of his own safety.

His powerful Ascended body was manifested at this moment, and the heavy ax hit Xerath's magic crystal core with devastating energy.

Boom——!The blow was so powerful that it smashed Xerath's sarcophagus body into the ground.

But it’s not enough, never enough.The last time they faced off, Nasus and Renekton were at the peak of their power.Nasus is now a mere shadow of his former glory, while Xerath's power has grown over the centuries.

The betrayed witch spirit condensed a terrible magical power underground and attacked the jackal warrior above.

Xerath's magic lifted Nasus high into the air and smashed him into the ruined temple.The boulder hit him, and he felt that his muscles and bones forged by the scorching sun were broken as easily as rotten wood.

Nasus gasped among the rubble.His legs were broken, and his left arm hung limply by his side, shattered from shoulder to wrist.He tried hard to hold himself up with his other hand, but white-hot pain shot through the break in his spine.Given time, his body could recover, but he didn't have time.

"You are too weak... Nasus. You have fallen so deeply that you are even worse than the collapsed Renekton... During the time when you were wandering and blaming yourself, your spirit has long been rotten."

The previous attacks did not seem to cause much substantial damage to Xerath.He still mocked his enemies with abandon.

Nasus really felt the difference in power.

But he never says never.

Even if his body has been seriously injured...even if his consciousness is extremely close to blurring...even if he knows he is invincible.

He also has helpers.

"Zerath...!!"

Nasus let out a terrifying roar, his body amplified by a burst of dark ascension.

An extremely powerful increase.

His already tall body was once again taller by several percent, and his whole body was burning with terrifying dark purple flames.His skin turned black, and the muscles bulged as if they were about to break through the skin.

He rushed towards Xerath again, ax and fist falling together - he had completely given up his defense.

The ax blade collided with Xerath's magic and was thrown away, while his fist choked Xerath's illusory body.

He pushed the other person to the ground, as if he was strangling a hateful enemy to death.

"Useless struggle...childish anger..."

Xerath didn't seem to be afraid of this kind of physical attack, even if his "vital part" was strangled, he didn't react at all.

The violent dark magic struck again, falling on Nasus like raindrops.

But he still refused to let go.

And his teammates also arrived at this time——

Chen Ce used the Seraph Blade with divine power to nail Xerath's sarcophagus body to the ground, and worked with Nasus to suppress the violent witch spirit.

Xerath laughed disdainfully.

He didn't understand why the two opponents in front of him were so stubborn and childish... Pure physical attacks could not harm the magic body at all.

Even if all those sarcophagi were smashed, it would only destroy his dispensable and fragile body.

He can definitely look for other "containers".

Even...the host.It made no difference to him.

Such attacks are pointless.

"Pathetic grand maesters and cowardly mortals..." Xerath sneered as he began to gather a more terrifying magic power.

He didn't care how the other party attacked him, he only focused on accumulating magic power.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, his dark magic reached its peak.

Zhi...boom——!

The energy of thunder and fire burst out at the same time, and the terrifying magic that could make the earth tremble hit Nasus directly.

This time, it penetrated directly through the armor that Nasus had treasured for thousands of years—the armor of the Celestial Warrior.

His abdomen was penetrated by this terrifying dark magic.

A bloody hole the size of a fist was left.

Blood splattered, severe pain struck, and Nasus was knocked away by the energy.

Immediately afterwards, Xerath pointed his finger at another opponent-that mortal like a mad dog.

The same magic power accumulation, the same intensity.

Another terrible black magic shot out.

A bloody hole was also penetrated through the mortal man's abdomen - if he hadn't moved his body in time, this blow would have directly penetrated his fragile heart.

But penetrating the abdomen is enough.

For a mortal, a big hole in the stomach is the same as death.

The power suppressing Xerath suddenly disappeared.

He then turned to Nasus again, preparing to give the enemy who had sealed him a thousand years a fatal blow - he wanted to bury Nasus under the sand and let him experience the pain of loneliness.

He raised a hand toward Nasus, his magic power quickly building up.

The latter had no room to resist or block, and could only watch the ball of magical energy getting bigger and bigger.

Can……

He laughed.

Just like before.

Just like...

Xerath instantly noticed something abnormal.

He turned around as fast as he could, aiming to direct the concentrated magical energy in his hands at the other person.

But he was still a little too slow - an blink of an eye too slow.

That mortal...the man who was shot through the abdomen...appeared behind him as if he was unscathed.

Then he opened his mouth to his defenseless magic crystal core.

"I have been stacking the Heart Steel for so long, do you think my health bar will be so short..."

Chen Ce opened his mouth full of blood.

Then he smiled and bit into Xerath's magic crystal core.

【feast】

Ka-!

The fangs and sharp teeth comparable to those of ancient beasts bit the magic crystal core, biting it into pieces.

For just a moment, Xerath felt real pain - he had no body in the true sense, and this pain came from the depths of his soul.

The magic crystal core was bitten into half.

Xerath endured the endless pain and delivered the final blow, finally knocking the madman back a hundred meters.

And the latter... is biting half of the magic crystal core that he "depends on for survival" in his mouth... The lunatic... is chewing it deliciously...

"What a powerful magic..."

Chen Ce bit the magic crystal core until it made a crunching sound. He chewed it carefully for a while before completely swallowing it, absorbing it, and turning it into his own use.

[Skill [Swallow] has taken effect, gaining part of the power of the target [Ancient Witch Spirit Xerath]. 】

Powerful magic flowed throughout his body, and the wounds on his body healed within a few seconds - leaving only a shallow scar.

Chen Ce felt an extremely powerful magic power.

And can be controlled and used at will.

"Ah... delicious, so delicious... six times as nutritious as void creatures..."

Chen Ce raised an arm, and the same magic power as Xerath's was condensed in his palm.

The latter was suddenly horrified.

Losing half of his magic crystal core, not only was his strength cut in half, but the extreme pain from his soul made it impossible for him to exert even half of his combat effectiveness.

Contrary to Chen Ce, he felt... fear.
