LOL: Let me touch your steel

"No, on the contrary, the direction he pointed us to might actually lead us to find the Darkin."

Zhang Xu smiled extremely happily. If Tam had not appeared, he might have missed this Darkin.

"According to the legend, Tam does not seem to lie. He will only continue to stir up the greed in people's hearts until the greed reaches its peak and can no longer be satisfied. Then Tam will choose to eat the person."

Sarah thought carefully about the legends she had heard and continued, "Of course there is another form. Every time Tam arouses your desire, he will ask you to give him something small. For example, a few strands of hair, or a few nails... then an ear, a leg, until you have nothing left to give. Then he will solve the problem once and for all and swallow you up."

"That means we can find the Darkin by following this direction!"

Hearing this, Kassa's eyes lit up instantly and she became much more excited.

Recently, she has been hearing Zhang Xu talking about the Dark Evil, which has aroused her curiosity. She really wants to see what the Dark Evil looks like.

As for Tam...

In fact, no one took it seriously.

Just like what Zhang Xu asked at that time.

Are you sure you want to seduce a demigod who is almost at the top of Runeterra?

"I'm going to tell the crew to change direction now."

......

The Siren turned around and continued to sail on the endless sea, but the surrounding scenery was even worse than before. The sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and on the gloomy sea, huge waves rolled in and kept hitting the Siren's hull, splashing water one after another.

It has become difficult to see marine life under the sea, let alone huge sea monsters, even some common fish have completely disappeared.

Feeling the faint breath emanating from the space, Zhang Xu took a deep breath, and a look of excitement gradually emerged on his face.

"Sure enough, it's here! It's the same aura as Nayafili!"

"Nayafili, the dog?"

Kasa also remembered the dune hound they had met in the desert before, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

"Yes, that little dog. Unfortunately, I don't know where it has gone now. It may no longer be in Shurima."

As Zhang Xu spoke, he looked around the sea that looked exactly the same, trying to find some abnormalities.

I don’t know whether this Darkin has successfully resurrected... If he is still in the sealed weapon, then it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack in such a deep sea.

But if it is resurrection state...

In this boundless ocean, there is only one parasitic object left - the deep-sea monster.

Janna stood at the bow and looked far into the distance. The color of the sea water had become turbid and it was no longer possible to see the scene under the sea water. But in the distance, there was a very abnormal surge on the sea surface.

"Zhang Xu, there is something ahead."

Janna's words instantly attracted everyone's attention, including Zhang Xu. Almost everyone took two steps forward and looked at the sea in the distance.

Just as Janna said, the sea in the distance began to surge abnormally, and the waves were surging, just like a violent beast turning into a huge shadow, moving quickly in the constantly rising waves.

"Is this thing... the Darkin?"

Sarah stared in a daze at the huge body that was gradually approaching, and an incredible look gradually appeared on her face.

As someone who grew up in Bilgewater, she was very familiar with the giant beast in front of her. It was the sea monster anaconda in the waters of Bilgewater!

Although this sea monster is not very common, sailors who often go out to sea can often see it. It gets its name because its overall appearance is similar to the appearance of the Serpent Islands on the map.

but...

If you look closely, this huge creature in front of you seems to be a little different from the python.

At the very least, the multi-python is a low-level sea monster without much intelligence. It will not learn how to use its limbs to hold weapons like the guy in front of it!

Zhang Xu looked at the huge sea monster that was already close to the Siren, and carefully examined its appearance. This was a sea monster with dark purple skin, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of armor, and its hands with clear fingers were holding a huge weapon.

It was a weapon similar to a harpoon.

As he got closer, Zhang Xu could clearly sense the corroded ascension force emanating from him, which was the breath of the dark energy.

Then, this guy’s identity can be confirmed!

Zhang Xu quickly found out this guy's former identity according to the table that Nasus had compiled for him at the time.

Darkin Harpoon, Ibaros!

As if sensing the familiar aura coming from Zhang Xu, Ibaros did not rush to take action after approaching the Siren. Instead, he looked at the people on the ship with a look of surprise and doubt.

Although the time has been very long, so long that the memory is a little fuzzy.

But the aura emanating from these people...

He will never forget it!

That is the breath of glory that belongs to the ascenders!

However, the Sun Disc was destroyed and Shurima ceased to exist.

Where did this ship of ascenders come from?

Having his mind corrupted by the void and having experienced a long period of sealing, Ibaros, who had just been resurrected not long ago, clearly showed a confused expression.

The current situation with a ship full of ascenders was beyond what his brain could handle.

"Ibarros."

Seeing that Ibaros still didn't react much after he called out, Zhang Xu frowned immediately.

After thinking it over again and again, Zhang Xu said in a deep voice:

"Ibaros, former deputy commander of the Second Legion of the Shurima Empire's Celestial Legion! How long will you maintain this depraved attitude?"

Shurima Empire... Celestial Legion... Second Legion...

These words are too old for Ibalos, so old that he has almost forgotten the glory he once had as a god warrior.

And now, what is he?

They are the darkspawn who are despised by people.

He was the one who let himself degenerate into what he is now!

Ibarros seemed to have fallen into some kind of manic state. His strong arms began to beat the sea surface continuously, splashing water again and again, as if he was venting some kind of emotion in his heart.

And Zhang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Things seemed to be simpler than he had imagined.

Chapter 241 Darkin Progress 1/n

Ibaros' huge body was bent into the shape of a bow, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. His eyes revealed endless pain, as if he was experiencing a pain that penetrated deep into his bones. From time to time, low groans came from his mouth, telling of his torment and struggle.

Circles of water rippled and spread in all directions, and Ibaros' struggle did not seem to end.

Zhang Xu frowned. After coming into contact with this Dark Evil, he suddenly realized something very serious.

Restoring these Darkspawn to their former Ascended form seems to require more than just removing the Void's erosion of their spirits, or reshaping them into a suitable Ascended body...

What is more important is their own wishes.

Some of these dark races lost their belief in the sun disk and were gradually influenced by the killings and became dark races. Some of them... were probably corrupted by themselves.

Dealing with this group of Darkspawn is such a hassle!

"Who are you?"

Ibaros's slightly confused expression seemed to clear up, but his tone was still the unique, hoarse, chilling voice of the Darkin.

Zhang Xu took out a seal from his arms, a thing that looked like a coat of arms with a sun pattern engraved on it. A brilliant golden light instantly burst out, and the dazzling light even made Zhang Xu, who was holding the seal in his hand, unable to look directly at it.

Ibaros's expression was dazed for a moment, and his entire expression seemed to be completely immersed in this ball of blazing light.

"Ibarros, you should recognize this thing."

Listening to Zhang Xu's voice, Ibarros nodded slightly.

Of course he recognized this thing...or rather, all the ascenders knew this emblem!

Because only if the person holding this emblem recognizes you, each ascender can start his own ascension ceremony!

This is...the symbol of the Sun Priest!

“I remember…I remember. Shurima! Shu-rim-ma.”

Ibaros's tone suddenly dropped, excitement gradually appeared on his face, and his body moved closer to the Siren.

Although they were not afraid of this guy causing any trouble, they only had one ship. Zhang Xu immediately stepped forward and calmed this guy down: "Calm down... Ibarros."

"His Majesty Azir has not forgotten your contribution to the prosperity of the Shurima Empire. He remembers how brave and skilled Ibaros, the deputy commander of the Second Legion of the Celestial Legion, was."

"But General Ibarros, you seem to have lost your heart."

"Look at what you look like now, General Ibarros. Is this body that doesn't belong to you really what you want? Have you really abandoned your glorious past?"

"No!"

Ibarros roared angrily, and the huge harpoon in his hand suddenly smashed down, hitting the sea surface, instantly detonating the sea surface beside him. A "vacuum" area without water was directly created on the sea surface!

Zhang Xu felt anger from Ibalos, an anger called hatred.

And what he hated was his own fallen self!

"General Ibaros, His Majesty Azir is magnanimous and has great ambitions. He is willing to grant you glory again, and fight for him and the Shurima Empire again! What's more..."

"To take back your former glory!"

"Now, General Ibarros, please tell me your answer!"

“Shurima…The sun shines forever! For…the glory of Shurima!”

Under the influence of Zhang Xu's words, Ibarros regained his original intention. He lowered his huge head and bowed to Zhang Xu and the Sun Priest Emblem in Zhang Xu's hand.

It went so smoothly that Zhang Xu couldn't believe it.

But in fact, as a former subordinate of Aatrox, Ibalos was actually the one who persisted the longest among the group of god warriors. It was not until most of the ascenders fell into depravity and became darkspawn that Aatrox and his men completely lost their determination to persist.

In other words, it was Ibalos's loyalty to Shurima that allowed Zhang Xu to be a great success in his first attempt to contact the Darkin.

Oh, it's not completely successful now.
