"Of course I was born to my queen..."
At this point, the Bloodstone Rat King suddenly remembered that he left in too hasty and did not close the stone door of the sacrificial room when he left. The Rat King suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he always felt that he should not commit such a low-level behavior. mistake.
But what if the door is not closed? That is a forbidden area that no one can enter. Whoever goes there will die.
The mice are all afraid of death, not to mention they don't have the tools to commit crimes, so how can they provoke themselves?
But the problem... there's no way a rat would really dare to touch it when I'm not around, right?
If...if a rat man really gets in, with the appearance of the rat queen... he can drive away the intruder, right?
No, there seems to be something missing... What is it?
Recalling the day and night with the Rat Queen, the Bloodstone Rat King's red face turned blue, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Looking strangely at the Rat King who was suddenly a little distracted, looking around, Lester smiled silently and picked up the flaming sword.
This mouse is undoubtedly pitiful.
In his previous life, the poor American male who was robbed of his wife's property by his cheating wife and kicked out of the house by his adulterer and became a homeless man had this expression when he sensed something was wrong with his wife. He had seen it many times.
There is no doubt that the current Rat King has flaws, but he is not prepared to attack the opponent with a sneak attack. After all, he also has some things that he wants to ask the big rat. If the big rat breaks his defense, it will be impossible to talk. .
"I see you have a little trouble?"
"None of your business! Human!"
The Mouse King's mood obviously fluctuated more and was no longer as calm as before.
Lester also stopped. He still had questions to ask.
"I have nothing to say to you. I just want to know why you chose to launch the attack today? You had many opportunities before, right?"
With a sneer, the Rat King forced himself to forget all the messy troubles. The Rat King felt that there was no need to hide anything from the dead. It was rare to show off to an equally intelligent foreigner. If he didn't have this kind of tolerance, it would be a failure.
"I have to say, I admire the courage of you humans. Even with the equipment made of our bloodstone, dozens of people dare to go deep underground to face a thousand times more enemies. This is not something ordinary beings can do.
Sandworms, ants, worms, shadow spiders, cavemen, mushroom people... They are all defeated by our tribe. Only you humans dare to go deep into the enemy's lair and kill here...
I appreciate you and your subordinates, humans, so I am willing to share the news about the Holy Stone with you who are ignorant. "
"Holy stone? It's not the crown on your head, is it?"
After hearing this word, Lester quickly focused his eyes on the crown, the pointed stone that shone with red light. Looking at it with magic perception, there seemed to be a strange symbol on the stone, like a circle. The tadpole holding the body contains powerful power.
"Yes, the holy stone is on the crown, or in other words, it is the holy stone of blood."
Taking off his bloodstone crown, the Rat King looked particularly serious.
Only at this moment, he will forget everything, forget the Rat Queen, and serve the will of the Blood Stone wholeheartedly. Of course, if he strikes for no reason, he still needs to be scolded.
"The Holy Stone of Blood is the origin of our clan. He has given our clan the wisdom to see everything, and has given our clan power comparable to that of ants. It has also given our clan the blood stone that can make weapons. He is the source of all power. He is everything to the Bloodstone Tribe.”
Without going into detail about the detailed consecration ceremony or the blood stone transformation ceremony, the Rat King turned his attention to Lester.
"The Holy Stone of Blood told me that you also have fragments of the Holy Stone in your body. Our clan's attack was only for you and the other Holy Stone in your body...
But now it seems, human being, you still don’t know what kind of power you have. This can only mean one thing. "
"What does this mean?"
The Rat King sneered and knelt down on the ground holding the Bloodstone Crown with a pious look on his face.
"This shows that the Holy Stone does not recognize you, otherwise the Holy Stone will definitely communicate with you, just like the relationship between me and the Holy Stone of Blood is as close and pure."
Already recognizing the red stone on the Rat King's crown as a world rune, Lester was more cautious in his heart.
Lester knows what the world runes mean. This is a big problem that Ryze has been dealing with for thousands of years. No wonder this group of rats mutated so seriously that they even formed a complete intelligent group in a short time. .
Now that I think about it, I and Meredith's guesses were indeed correct. Looking at the big picture, the Knockmooch Plains have changed from rich and fertile to barren and dry, which may also have something to do with the world hidden under the Silver Silver Mountains. The runes are inseparable from each other, but I don’t know if in the original world Ryze took care of the rats when he secretly recovered the runes.
If so, how strong is Ryze? If what the Rat King said is true, he also has a rune on his body that he got without realizing it...
Faced with a rune fused into the human body, what would Ryze do?
["You said there won't be any danger of losing control? You said you won't hurt the world? No, child, you don't know what the things on you mean. He is the source of all disasters and cannot be controlled by humans. s things."
"I'm sorry, child. Although you are very polite, kind, and friendly, you will work for the welfare of the people of the Emerald Territory, and are very useful to Valoran. Especially you are also very good to me. You are my good friend. I like it very much. you……
But, you know, Lester, I have no choice, because you have taken the path of inevitable destruction. Even the calm at this moment is just an illusion before the disaster breaks out... I must correct the mistake. Losing you must be me. fate, just like my teacher Tyrus, if it is a sin, I am willing to accept it..."]
If it were Ryze, after he said the above apologetically, he would have blasted himself into pieces with a powerful ball of arcane energy and recovered the runes from the fragments of the body, right?
There will be absolutely no room for compromise, nor will he listen to any of his own explanations. He cannot defeat Ryze for the world runes that cannot be taken out, and there will be no other way out for him except death.
Thinking that he had originally planned to send people out to look for Ryze, and deliberately build a relationship with the good old man Ryze, Lester's expression could no longer remain calm, and he realized with some horror that he had almost put himself in a desperate situation.
This is really a recipe for death by lighting a lantern in the toilet.
"Hahaha! You are finally scared! You finally realize that you are just an ignorant pawn! Human, your face looks ugly."
Giving the Rat King a cold look, Lester retorted.
"Yes, I am afraid, but I will not kneel down in front of a glowing stone like you, offering my knees and dignity.
Your people kneel to you and regard you as their leader, but you sacrifice your knees to a cold stone. This is the king of rats. It is really ridiculous. "
"You don't understand the greatness of the holy stone at all! Human! You are not even qualified to sacrifice your knees!!!"
Standing up, the Rat King put the crown on his head again after being poked in the painful spot, completely losing his patience for conversation.
As a king, what he hates most is when others say that he no longer has the majesty of a king.
"Come on, humans, let us have a final showdown. Let our strength speak for itself. The winner gets everything, and the loser gets nothing. Remember, you have no room for rejection."
As the Rat King finished speaking, countless rats poured out from all directions, directly blocking everyone's escape, leaving only space for Lester and the Rat King to fight.
The atmosphere became extremely tense for a moment.
The black guards held their weapons vigilantly, ready to fight to the death. The three black mages took the time to meditate, preparing to release large-scale self-destruction spells. The five night blade killers had different expressions, but they looked relaxed. Heck Te even smiled with his lips split open, as if he was about to be freed.
On the contrary, Nosles smiled a little charmingly and looked at the bloody back in the front with admiration and adoration. In his words, she was as beautiful as his fiancée at this moment, and he was as handsome as the most perfect man. .
Only Alice, who was closest to the man, stared at him with regret, without concealing her feelings, making the man who turned around forget about a certain gay man who had lost his wife. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to four years ago when he inspected Shuo. The scene where I first met the girl in the mines of the Silver Mountains.
This resolute girl grew up and became brave...
Maybe for me, it was just an encouraging kiss, but for the girl, it was a green emotion that would be remembered for a lifetime. Because of the unknown runes on her body, she really shouldered a lot of emotional debt.
The key is that unlike the previous life, I can't just pat my butt and walk away. This is a promise to her.
Slowly moving his eyes, he glanced at the soldiers and mages who followed him into despair. The faces of his followers showed enthusiasm, seriousness, sadness, calmness, and even two admirers... Lester smiled He smiled, savored the emotions of his followers, and swallowed them calmly.
This is something that a lonely killer has never felt before. As a leader, he must be responsible for every follower, every decision, and every death.
He was honored to have a group of followers who were willing to follow him to death.
"Believe me."
In the Mouse King's impatient expression, the man calmly pulled out the flame-shaped sword and picked up the heavy magic steel shield again.
"I will take you out alive and kill all the enemies in front of you."
As the words fell, the Blood Knight lowered his visor.
A life-and-death battle suddenly broke out in the underground world of the Shining Silver Mountains.
There is no applause or cheers. The winner lives and the loser is reduced to withered bones.
The audience was thousands of prone rats and twenty-five lonely, exhausted humans. Apart from the lighting spell cast by the mage, there were no other disturbing factors.
If the Rat King is burdened with the life and death of a group, Lester is burdened with thousands of lives in the Emerald Territory.
Any tiny thing will lead reality to a different future. No one is sure whether the Rat King who has obtained the second rune will continue to huddle underground, waiting for the FBI mage to open the door and confiscate contraband.
Therefore, this is a battle in which no one can bear the consequences of failure. It is not just a life and death battle between two people, but also a war of survival between two forces.
Amidst the harsh collision of metal, Lester used his large shield to block the sharp rat claws with afterimages. Scarlet waves erupted for a second time on the shield, and the man was knocked back several meters by the powerful and violent runic power. , the magic steel plate armor boots plowed two deep furrows into the ground.
After repelling the man, the three-meter-tall rat king screamed, causing deep pain in the ears of the audience. The three meditating mages were even more dizzy. In order to avoid internal injuries caused by the sound wave attack, the mages had to terminate their meditation.
The Rat King, who is nearly twice the size of a man, has red evil veins all over his body. Outside the two long horns that are brewing with violent blood mist, the blood stone crown on the horns bursts out with a strange light. Turning the rat claw into a magic weapon that can crack mountains and crack rocks, and shake the flame-shaped sword without stopping.
Any ordinary iron will be easily torn apart by the giant claws strengthened by the runes. Even the magic steel equipment born from the runes themselves is a bit difficult to parry, so that the invincible magic steel flame-shaped sword is on the smooth surface. There were many conspicuous scratches on the mirror surface, which made Lester understand that if he tried to parry a few more times, he might have to fight with bare hands.
"You don't understand the power of the Holy Stone at all! Human! The Blood Stone was born from the Holy Stone! Why do you use Blood Stone equipment to fight with me!!!"
The peaceful and standard Noxian language has become violent and twisted under the influence of runes.
The powerful hind legs kicked the ground violently. As the Rat King rushed towards Lester, several pebbles that were shattered by the huge force were shot towards the rats, killing several unlucky rats in the exploding blood mist. Rats, but instead of being afraid, rats and rats are even more worshipful and crazy, staring at the great father who suppresses mankind.
So what if a few compatriots die? Being able to suppress the humans who are chasing him to the point where he dares not show his head and only dares to defend with a shield. Is there anything more joyful than having a great father?
Not daring to parry the collision of the Rat King, Lester stepped on the ground with his right foot and forced his body to jump to the left. He narrowly avoided the Rat King's horns wrapped in red mist and allowed the Rat King to collide with the rats. go.
Under the collision of the red mist horns, hundreds of rat men blocking the footsteps of the Rat King turned into blood mist. The smell of blood in the air instantly became stronger. The Rat King used too much force and directly smashed his horns. It was inserted into the extremely dense hard stone wall and could not be pulled out for a while.
The surviving rats could no longer sit still and ran away in horror.
It's hard to handle so many deaths. Anyone who doesn't run is a fool.
Naturally, Lester would not let go of such an opportunity to counterattack. He rushed forward and stabbed the base of the soft tail with the flaming sword, causing the rat king in severe pain to break free from the stone wall. Lester blocked it with his shield. The rat tail's swipe was knocked back several meters.
The broken stone walls connected with the upper boulders, falling to the ground like a heavy rain, blocking the passage into the crypt, and the way for humans to come was blocked.
"Human! You are seeking death!"
Shaking his dizzy head, the Rat King wiped his bloody buttocks and became furious.
For so many years, you have been stabbing others. How could you let others stab you? This human being is so shameless.
Furious, the Bloodstone Rat King stood in the blood mist,
Lester frowned tightly as he looked at the blood mist that quickly dissipated.
'He is using the runes to absorb the blood mist, further stimulating the power of the runes to strengthen himself, and may even have the effect of recovering injuries. He is really a difficult guy. '
In Leicester's magical vision, the [Holy Stone of Blood] on the Rat King's head is frantically absorbing the blood mist and some strange life energy. After strengthening itself, it further feeds back to the Rat King, allowing the Rat King's runes to The force became stronger, and the bleeding tail root also stopped bleeding.
Although it was a one-on-one fight, this big rat was still sneaking into the loopholes and using the lives of his clan members to recover from injuries. He really did not change the cunning nature of the rat clan.
But I didn’t have much choice.
'Under the violent power of the runes, the Blood Knight shield and the broad-bladed flaming sword are unable to resist head-on. With the power of the runes, by absorbing the energy of the dead rat man's body, the Rat King will only get stronger as he fights. If this continues, I will be defeated. It's only a matter of time. No wonder this big rat is so confident. He is willing to talk to me so much when he has the advantage. It turns out that he has convinced me.
However, using the flesh and blood of his own people as blood food for healing...heh, is this the king? '
The man turned his head and looked at the trusting warriors behind him.
If Alice and Maurice are used to contain the Rat King, maybe he will get a chance to survive. He has a lot of information about Runeterra. As long as he can get out alive, he can always find enough support to completely eliminate the rat... …
"Human, do you feel fear? You who were abandoned by the Holy Stone must not have thought that you would be so powerless one day!"
Jumping high in the air, the Bloodstone Rat King waved his claws and slapped Lester fiercely, piercing the air and tearing the earth apart with his violent energy.
The man jumped back at the last moment and escaped the fatal blow.
"boom!"
The rocks shattered and dust filled the surroundings, making the humans watching the battle unable to see the situation for a while. However, the timid rats became even more commotion and ran away a lot, making the situation even more chaotic.
Alice, who was watching the battle, felt nervous, fearing that the man would die from the terrible palm strike, but she faintly felt a strong wind rushing toward her. She couldn't help but tighten her expression, and tightened her grip on the spear in her hand, about to stab it out. .
It wasn't until a familiar whisper appeared in her ears that the girl let down her guard and felt at ease.
"Alice, find Maurice and ask Uzar and other mages to use long-lasting range (harmony) flame magic to drive away the rat people. There is no need to hold back. After release, you will run deeper and seal it as much as possible with magic. The passage you left, try to find a suitable escape route, find a way to return to the Emerald Territory, tell Rose what happened here, she will handle it...
Leave it to me here, I can handle it. "
The girl who seemed to be hugged by a man wearing hard armor and hit a few times by the blood knight did not react before the tall figure surrounding her quickly moved away.
When the voice fell, it was as if that person had never appeared.
Her heart tightened. Although she had some bad premonitions, the girl still chose to trust the man.
The girl in the dust no longer hesitated. After piercing several ratmen blocking the way, Alice quickly stepped back.
Among the many chaotic figures slashing and killing rats, she quickly found Maurice, who was killing efficiently. She told her what the man asked her to convey. After hearing this, Maurice quickly found Urza who was being protected by the black guard. Waiting until Urza After hearing this, Zha discussed with the three mages before starting to greet the others, and moved deeper into the crypt with the others.
In the chaos, neither the Rat King nor the scurrying Rat Men cared about this.
Under the power of the overbearing runes, all life is on the verge of death, so how can they care about anything else.
"Humans!!! Only know how to escape! Cowardly cowards!!! Useless king!"
Knowing that his attack did not hit the target, the angry Bloodstone Rat King picked up a half-meter-sized stone that was half broken after the dust dispersed, and threw it directly towards Lester who was hiding next to the stone wall.
"Do you think you can hide forever!?"
"Smelly rat, has any stupid son ever told you that your cheap dad talks too much nonsense?"
After dodging the terrifying boulder directly embedded in the stone wall and using a large shield to protect his back from the shattered stone, Lester began to retort.
"Big mouse, haven't you ever thought about what terrible things the female mouse who gave birth to your children is going through now? No, maybe it's not a terrible thing, but a pleasant thing. You always deceive yourself like this, thinking about this Impossible, that's impossible, but the fact is that all the impossibilities in your heart have happened countless times due to things you don't know about..."
The Bloodstone Rat King was happily raging the cruelty in his heart. After hearing these words, he suddenly recalled the stone door that he had not closed before leaving.
The thorn in his heart was struck hard by the man with a hammer at this moment, easily piercing his heart. The Rat King howled wildly and finally understood what was wrong that he had not noticed just now.
The previous scenes of illusions lingered in his mind again, like a nightmare that refused to go away for a long time. Soon, the strange mouse head hugging the mouse queen turned into a face that was no longer familiar.
The one-horned priest who reports to himself.
The Bloodstone Rat King was furious.
He is fighting for the clan and for glory. What is his high priest doing?
Why can't I see where the high priest is?
Why didn’t the high priest follow? ?
"My priest! Where is Swart Scream? Why didn't my priest come with you!?"
"Crash!!!"
After the spell was guided, the fire element violently surrounded the cave, lighting up every inch of the hard stone floor, quickly devouring the rat warriors who refused to leave and flee, and driving away the last holdout. Urza hesitated for a moment, Still, he tried his best to create a long-lasting lighting magic.
After the injured Dong Dong fled in a hurry, the magic that had been guiding the rock burst for a long time was activated. The entrance deeper into the cave was cut off by the falling huge rock, and the last way out of the cave was also blocked, leaving no way to escape. The rat men were burned and swallowed by the flames, fled in all directions amidst screams, and soon turned into black ashes.
In the flames, staring at the violent and grieving Bloodstone Rat King, Lester raised his square shield, stood his sword in front of him, and laughed mockingly.
"My Rat King, your sacrifice, the guy named Swart Scream, is probably not in the bed of some female rat, working hard for your offspring."
"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"
