Void Beetle Evolution Guide

Perhaps Hecarim's desire to go out with the Harrowing Night is, in a sense, also to avoid being hunted by Kalista.

"..."

Hearing that Kaisa was going to sacrifice her life to summon her nemesis, the hideous smile on the beast's mouth on Hecarim's chest froze instantly, and he tightly grasped the halberd in his hand.

But he immediately calmed down and ignored Kassadin's threats.

"I am only dying once more, but you are paying with your life. If you have the guts to summon her, I will accept my death."

"whispering sound."

Seeing that Hecarim did not lose his composure because of the intimidation, Kaisa tore through the space again and came directly behind Hecarim.

The Centaur drew his halberd and fought back, but the Void Hunter used his energy-tempered claws to penetrate the gap in his armor and ripped open the arm holding the halberd.

“I can kill you without her!” she roared, pouring void energy into Hecarim's hollow shell, which gradually turned into molten iron like red-hot pig iron.

"Your efforts are pointless, for you cannot kill Death itself!"

Hecarim let out a mad howl, and in his view, Kai'Sa's counterattack was nothing more than impotent rage.

As long as he is in the black fog, his body can be restored instantly at any time, and no matter how serious the injuries Kassadin inflicts on him, it will be useless.

"I am fighting against the nothingness that wants to devour the entire world. What does a mere death mean to me?!"

Fell into a trap?!

Kaisa's words made Hecarim panic. He wanted to merge into the black mist and reshape his body, but he found that the black mist around him had dissipated at some point.

The long-lost sunshine illuminated this gray land, and he noticed that the dozens of portals placed by Kassadin earlier had swallowed up all the surrounding black fog, forming an area that isolated the Curse of Ruin.

Unable to escape, he was poured and melted by the void energy. His headless body began to melt first, followed by the lower half of his warhorse, and finally the burning iron hooves.

"It's just another death! Don't be too proud, my iron hoof will find you again and run over your corpse!"

Hecarim turned into a black mist and rushed around, but Kai'Sa had laid so much preparation, so how could she let him escape so easily after making such threats?

"No, it's over."

She snapped her fingers, and the precarious vesicle space in this area squeezed and burst after losing its support. Dozens of originally unstable space cracks collapsed instantly and turned into gravitational black holes that swallowed everything around them.

Hecarim resisted the pull of gravity in shock and anger, but was inevitably dragged into the cage, leaving behind only an extremely unwilling last word.

"Viego will soon wake up. He needs my Iron Legion to conquer the world for him. He will definitely resurrect me—"

The Shadow of War and his Iron Corps ultimately failed to escape the gravitational black hole, and were all annihilated along with the collapsing space rift.

Exhausted, Kassadin untied his helmet and took a deep breath, injecting the slightly warm air from the sun into his body. The black fog in the distance was stirring, slowly surging closer, trying to fill the gap again.

"Unfortunately, the keystone the Wild Hunt wants is gone. It's such a waste of effort."

"No, because I have already got the things."

Kassa kicked a stone away in frustration, but heard Iris's happy voice coming from behind her.

She walked towards him in high heels, her sharp nails hooked on a rune, and the corners of her scarlet lips were particularly bright and charming under the sunlight.

Chapter 110: The Flooded City of Hylia

=====================================

As Kaisa eliminated Hecarim, his Iron Legion turned into a static sculpture. Without the constantly resurrecting cavalry, the Spider Queen naturally had the last laugh without any suspense.

The Keystone is a special item exclusive to the Master of Fukumitsu Island. It can open any door in the Hylia Underground Treasury, which means countless lost treasures.

If Iris hadn't met the Wild Hunt, she would definitely have tried every means to keep the keystone in her hands and make profits for herself. But if she hadn't met the Wild Hunt, she would have no way of getting the keystone. As a smart woman, she would not take things that she shouldn't take.

"Elise, where did you find this?" Kaisa took the keystone and carefully examined it, and found that it was indeed the one that Hecarim had shown before.

"He gave the keystone to his cavalrymen. If I kill them all, it will fall out."

Iris glanced at the battlefield on Kassadin's side. There were many overlapping smooth round pits on the ground. It looked like they were dug out by something. Even the black fog that had lingered here for hundreds of years had a hole in it.

An inexplicable fear lingered behind her. The woman who could kill Hecarim alone was indeed not simple, which made her decide to continue to avoid his edge in subsequent actions, and her position as the main wife was invisibly consolidated.

"Before he died, Hecarim revealed that the Ruined King was about to awaken." Kai'Sa suddenly said: "Although I exiled him, it seems that as long as Viego wakes up, Hecarim will come back. He is really a ghost that will not go away."

Hearing Kai'Sa's concerns, the Wild Hunt transmitted the voice to the two people's minds, "What we are looking for is in the same place as the Ruined King. As long as we kill him when we get there, there will be no risk of Hecarim recovering."

"If one Hecarim is so difficult, can we really defeat his king?"

"Viago should not have fully awakened yet. His soul resides in the Sword of the King. This is a perfect opportunity."

The Wild Hunt's target is the rune, and the rune is the source of the magic of the Curse of the Ruin. As the final boss guarding the end of the level, Viego will never let him take the rune away easily.

Whether for personal gain or for justice, they must kill Viego completely before he wakes up.

As long as he dies, the Curse of the Ruin will be broken, there will be no more Harrowing Night, and the Shadow Isles will slowly return to its original state.

It is impossible to turn the Blessed Isles back, because the runes will be taken away by the Wild Hunt. Without the nourishment of the Fountain of Life, this vast scorched earth can never return to its former state of being a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

However, even though it is a ruin, the Shadow Isles possesses wealth and treasures far beyond imagination, and it requires a force to continue to explore them.

Thinking of this, the Wild Hunter pinched Iris's butt hard.

"Be prepared. If we can get rid of Viego, I will give you another reward, a reward that is countless times greater than that of the Despicable Throat."

"At your command, my God."

Iris was overjoyed and enjoyed the caress very submissively.

Under the constant training of the Wild Hunt, she gradually linked rewards with obedience in her heart. As long as she served her god well, a trip to the Shadow Isles alone could earn her far more than she had accumulated in hundreds of years of hard work.

……

The key stone was obtained and the two continued to move forward.

The battlefield where they met Hecarim seemed not far from Hylia, and they saw many ruins not long after they walked. They quickened their pace, and the ground in front of them suddenly sank and turned into a cliff.

Kasa came to the cliff and looked around. Through the surging mist, she saw that there were ruins below. The tall stone pillars were broken into several pieces, and the rubble rolled down the steps into the sea.

The coastline broke into countless pieces, and a strange glow emerged from deep in the earth. Many architectural ruins shrouded in this dark green light were all turned into pieces.

Broken stones and building debris floated in the air inexplicably, as if bound in mid-air by some invisible force field. With the tide of energy, they kept swinging, and their original shapes could be vaguely seen.

The black sea water flooded onto the shore and submerged the city. Many buildings on the lower floors were submerged in the sea water, with only a broken corner exposed, like a drowning person trying to stretch his arms out of the water.

Seeing the once beautiful coastal city turned into this dilapidated state, a sense of loss arose in Kassadin's heart. In addition to being shocking, this bizarre scene also intuitively reflected the terrifying power of the runes.

"What a pity, such a nice place..." Iris could live safely in an old house that had not been repaired or cleaned for hundreds of years, but the moment she saw Helia, she was still trembling with fear at the oncoming sense of destruction like a strong wind.

"The Great Ruin occurred here, destroying the entire civilization of the Blessed Isles, and everything in Hylia was frozen in the moment of the explosion." The Wild Hunt explained. After Hylia was destroyed by the Curse of Ruin, many buildings were submerged by sea water, so the city was also called the Flooded City.

"We should find a way there quickly. There's no point in being sad here. We should find things as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible. I don't want to stay in this damn place for a moment." Kassa urged, looking for a way to Helia along the coastline.

After searching for a while, she found a stone bridge on the edge of the cliff. Although the bridge was broken into several pieces by the Great Destruction, each piece was bound by an invisible force and arranged in mid-air. She should be able to cross it by jumping.Mei thinks you are alone without Lin Youyong...

As soon as she stepped onto the bridge, Kassa felt an ominous aura. The surrounding black fog was extremely thick, but not a single undead soul could be seen in the fog, which was very abnormal.

"Iris, what's going on here?" To be on the safe side, she rarely asked for the opinion of her temporary companion.

"There is something hidden in the black room, and my intuition tells me that this bridge is likely a trap." Iris felt fear and uneasiness, but could not detect its source.

"Let's go! Change place!" Kassa made a decisive decision to retreat. They took a detour and didn't have to walk across this bridge.

However, just as they took a few steps, a city wall suddenly emerged from the black fog, blocking their way.

The ground began to tremble, as if some giant beast had awakened. Iris opened her eyes wide in horror, and saw the city wall moving rapidly in front of her, surrounding them tightly, and faint scale-like patterns appeared on its surface.

Kassa fired several plasma bombs, and purple fire immediately ignited the city wall. The spreading firelight illuminated the things in the black fog. A narrow vertical pupil stimulated by the light slowly opened, blooming with a dark green light, and cast an unknown gaze.

"run!"

Heavy breathing came from the darkness. Feeling the terrifying breath coming towards her and the sense of crisis that was as sticky as substance, Kassadin dragged Iris and turned around and ran towards the suspension bridge.

Chapter 111: Invasion of Nine-Headed Vine

===================================

The moment Kassadin and Iris ran away, a huge black mouth landed on the spot, biting a big hole in the cliff. The flying stones were trapped in the air by the invisible force field, and the thick black fog was blown away by the strong wind, and the monster's head appeared in the gradually spreading purple fire.

It was the head of a hideous giant snake, with exposed fangs larger than those of an adult. Its thick tongue made of vines could easily sweep them into its stomach.

Its mouth was filled with a faint green light, and the corners of its mouth exuded a lingering thick fog. Its eerie and narrow pupils faced the two people. Although there was nothing in them, it made people feel the gaze of intelligence.

If that were the case, they might not be so frightened. The giant snake's head illuminated by the firelight was just the tip of the iceberg, and its huge body was still hidden in the black fog.

As the giant snake's head rose, the surrounding black fog also quickly cleared away like the tide receding. Following the giant snake's head, the sight suddenly widened, and the thing in the black fog finally revealed its face.

With just one glance, their hearts sank to the other side of the Styx, as if they were dragged to the bottom of the river by countless cold hands.

One, two, three, four... one snake head after another appeared. The nine-headed monster was entrenched between the two banks. Its huge body filled the black water strait. Many heads bent over the bridge deck, looking down at the two insect-like people at different heights. The length when fully stretched could reach hundreds of meters!

It is a combination of life and death, with the appearance of a plant twisted by an unnatural curse into the form of a mythical animal. Nine snake-like heads open like fans, sucking in black mist with their mouths open, towering like a world-destroying demon.

Even the Vicious Throat looked as small as a baby in front of it.

Invading Nine-headed Vine, threat level ten.

Seeing this hopeless level, the only thing left in Kasa's mind was to escape. The strong sense of oppression made them feel like they were sinking into a pool of mercury, their movements were stagnant and their breathing was difficult.

"This guy was once a nature spirit like Maokai, but it absorbed a large amount of polluted life fountains and was cursed and twisted into this appearance, powerful and terrifying."

Even the Wild Hunt's tone became pessimistic. The dragon guarding the bridge reminded him of bad memories.Mei misses me Mei, but there is no Lin in the sky...

"Then Maokai must have absorbed a lot of blessed water, right? Why isn't he so terrifying?" Kai'Sa felt that comparing Maokai with the Hydra was an insult to its strength. Maokai was as small as a sapling in front of this guy.

"This is different... Maokai had already cut off his roots when the Water of Life was corrupted. He didn't want to be corrupted by the Black Mist, and he was fighting the curse all the time. But without the nourishment of the Fountain of Life, the power he consumed in the fight could not be replenished, so he became weaker and weaker. But even so, he continued to try to use the blessed water stored in his body to nurture life in the Shadow Isles."

It is said that the dark side is three points stronger. In the Shadow Isles, Maokai, who insists on going against the natural trend, is destined to become weaker and weaker. However, the Nine-headed Vine, which was not intelligent before the Great Ruining, grew to such a huge size just by following its instincts and absorbing the spring of corruption.

The black fog devours life and creates corrupted creatures, and the irony contained therein is equally cruel.

"Whatever this thing is, I don't want to get entangled with it anymore!"

Kassa started running, jumped onto the first section of the bridge without hesitation, and ran towards the other side of the coast.

Their actions stimulated the giant snake's desire to attack, and its huge head bit down from above with unparalleled swiftness!

The first section of the bridge was destroyed in an instant, and Kassadin bounced off the heat sink armor in time before it collapsed and jumped onto the second section of the bridge. Elise behind her was a little slower, and the collapsed bridge surface did not allow her to use the force to jump, but she finally pulled herself up with the help of the strong spider silk.

The nine heads of the giant snake seemed to have intelligence. They attacked at the same time, and the fierce offensive was too overwhelming for the two men to cope with.

As Iris stepped onto the bridge, she saw a giant snake open its pitch-black mouth and swoop down from the front.

Kassadin, who was in the front, chose to bend her knees and jump again. She landed not on the third section of the bridge, but on the top of the giant snake's head!

One step slowly, one step slowly, facing the fangs and huge mouth sweeping across the bridge, Iris chose to use her appendages to go under the bridge and crawl along the bottom edge. Compared with Kassadin's risky move, this way of avoiding the snake's sight is obviously much safer.

Kassa on top was running along the back of the giant snake. Another snake head rushed towards her to bite it off. Kassa turned into a purple lightning and repeated the same trick to fly onto the head of the attacking snake again, letting it bite the original snake head.

A deafening wail sounded in his ears, and the bitten snake head immediately launched a counterattack. Kassa took the opportunity to fall back onto the bridge before the two snake heads sank into the sea after biting each other.

But before she could stand firmly on the floating bridge, another snake head raised high, spewing black flames like huge waves.

At the critical moment, a portal opened behind Kassadin, and Iris rushed out and hugged her, tearing through the void and disappearing before the black flames swept across the bridge.

The vision changed, and when I came to my senses, Kassadin and Elise had already come under the bridge to avoid the breath.

"Wild Hunt?"

Seeing Iris wrapping her arms around his waist in an unabashed manner, holding him and walking upside down on the bottom of the bridge with her limbs, the strong sense of déjà vu made Kassa ask tentatively.

In her impression, Elise was not able to tear open space and transfer continuously so skillfully and decisively. Only the Wild Hunt himself could do it.

"I know you're drawing fire, but don't do that next time. There are better ways to avoid it."

"It's nothing. That guy can't catch up with me."

The other party's answer made Kassa more certain of her guess, because Iris kept her posture very low and did not dare to speak to her in a preaching tone.

After hearing this, Iris was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that Kassadin could have abandoned her and run away alone at the first opportunity.

The reason why the girl took the initiative to expose herself to the sight of the big snake was to help her, who was a beat slower, to attract firepower. Otherwise, she would not be able to hide easily under the safety.

If the Wild Hunt hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought about it at all. With her selfish way of thinking, she couldn't have guessed Kassadin's good intentions.

To be honest, Iris was somewhat moved. The girl's indifference did not mean she was hostile to her, she was just simply cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

The members of the Black Rose all call each other sisters, but that is just a polite way of getting closer. Even if they are real relatives, once they join the organization, all that remains is a naked relationship of interest.

Perhaps the relationship between the relatives has never been that of competitors. It is not an organization like the Black Rose, but a family-like group, and they can be called sisters to each other.

The Wild Hunt used spider silk to swing under the last section of the bridge, then tore through space and flashed to the other side. Seeing Kassadin turn his face away, he simply held her and ran away from the snake at full speed.
