Smoke filled the battlefield. Dark clouds above flickered with lightning, and various angry roars and excited laughter echoed in the air.
On that hill, many figures stood beside Sona.
Kayle hovered silently for a long moment before saying, "We can set off now."
The ones descending this time were all Super Warriors from the Valoran Continent. Some were brilliant munitions experts, others were exceptional support fighters, and there was no shortage of shrewd strategic leaders among them. The alliance formed by these individuals would certainly not recklessly send all their warriors into chaotic battle.
In this battlefield, endurance was a constant theme for Eternity.
As for what had just occurred, it was merely an assault led primarily by Demacia, with other factions providing some support. Compared to the overall strength of the alliance, it was just a warm-up.
When the ranged control fighters in the backline fired their first bullets, it signified that the warm-up was over.
General Darius raised his massive axe. "Noxus!"
Azir, clad in golden light armor, lifted his spear. "Shurima!"
"Bilgewater!"
"Freljord!"
"Ionia!"
...
More and more warriors cloaked in the night descended from the mountaintop, advancing toward the battlefield.
"Forward!"
The wind howled! A tornado swept past Kanna, entering the battlefield and sending numerous Death Knights flying. In an instant, the air was filled with swirling warhorses and Black Armor Cavalry!
Before they could fall, a blinding golden light shot up into the sky! Suddenly, a monkey clad in chainmail and wearing a phoenix-winged golden crown appeared, its eyes burning like fierce flames. With a loud bang, the ornate iron staff suddenly enlarged, crashing down like a mountain!
In an instant, the earth cracked open, and the enemy ranks scattered!
At the same time, fiery explosions erupted on both sides of the split wilderness!
On the left side, thick smoke billowed as fragments of bombs floated through the air. Amidst the haze, Giggs sprinted out with a backpack full of explosives, eagerly searching for the next suitable demolition site…
In the rear, a demolition shell shot forward like a fireball, ultimately exploding a hundred meters away. The massive shockwave turned many Death Knights to ashes, while Graves, unaffected by the tremendous recoil that sent him back several dozen meters, casually shouldered his smoking shotgun and lit a cigar.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp sound pierced the air as a Sniper Rifle bullet streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for the other end of the battlefield!
"Double kill!" In the distance, Catherine smirked as she spotted Rebia and Tastandin falling to her precise shot through her scope.
No matter where they are, snipers are always terrifying presences. With their heightened sensitivity and battlefield control abilities, they can silently send bullets into enemy leaders' heads. Once a sniper occupies a high vantage point, the battle can effectively be considered over.
At that moment, Catherine's smile froze as she witnessed a bizarre scene through her sniper scope.
Rebia's head exploded from the tremendous impact of the bullet, and her body fell limply to the ground. Yet, the oddly-shaped Bald Man was suddenly enveloped by a thick black mist, and astonishingly, his shattered head began to reform!
"Stop them! Block all of them!" Tastandin screamed as he frantically fled. Although Eternal Power could keep him alive, this power was ultimately limited; he was merely a servant of Eternity.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the outcome of the battle. He only wanted to reach the crystal immediately and begin the next phase of his plan... Yes, losing to this group of unknown assailants was not terrifying, but if it delayed Eternity's plans, Tastandin knew he could not bear that responsibility.
The Death Knights, like a Black Tide, received their orders and ceased fighting the enemies before them. Instead, they surged forward to cover Tastandin's escape.
No one expected that the legendary Death Knights, known for trampling history and burning everything in their path, would be so thoroughly beaten by these foes. There were at least ten thousand Death Knights here, while the opposing force numbered less than two hundred! This meant each of them had to face over fifty Death Knights alone! Yet despite this overwhelming odds, they managed to maintain the upper hand!
Perhaps Tastandin's unique advantage lay in the continuous arrival of Death Knights. Throughout the battle, new Death Knights kept appearing to fill the ranks of those slain Cavalry. It seemed promising; at this rate, the enemy would eventually be worn down.
But only Tastandin knew that these Death Knights' arrival depended on Mandrake Flowers, which drew power from Arcane Crystals... The problem was that the power of Arcane Crystals was finite. Moreover, Tastandin needed to use the crystals for his next plan. If he exhausted their energy like this, it would be his master, Eternity, who would be the first to turn against him!
Fortunately, although these Death Knights were retreating step by step, their ability to block was astonishing. When thousands of Cavalry horses gathered together, those powerful warriors found it difficult to break through!
Tastandin ran desperately, feeling slightly relieved after covering several miles. But when he turned back and saw the smoke and various lights filling the sky, his heart sank again.
Just then, a violent sound of something tearing through the air echoed!
Tastandin looked in the direction of the sound and felt his body tremble as a chill ran down his spine...
In that impenetrable encirclement, a towering figure burst forth. Covered in blood and with a resolute yet indifferent gaze, he gave off an impression as if standing before a great mountain.
The Death Knight was incredibly mobile, and as he broke through, a large number of Cavalry immediately filled the gap.
Yes, it was only him who made it out.
In his hand, he wielded the Silver Greatsword, dark thunderclouds loomed overhead, and behind him was a battlefield filled with chaos. Wandering aimlessly across the desolate land, his gaze fell upon Tastandin.
Garen.
It was him… again! Why was it always him? Tastandin felt as if he had plunged into an icy abyss, a chill creeping into his heart as he turned and sprinted toward the direction of the crystal!
After everything that had happened, it could be said that Tastandin's current predicament was all due to Garen… but Tastandin could no longer harbor any hatred toward Garen. Why? Just like back in Immortal City, the more powerful Tastandin became, the more he realized the terrifying nature of Garen.
At that time, he was utterly shocked, filled with regret for having provoked Garen and relief for discovering Garen's limits.
However, after encountering him again at Dead Man's Gorge, Tastandin finally understood… he still had not discovered Garen's limits! Nothing had changed! The stronger he became, the more he recognized the terror of this warrior!
Now, all Tastandin felt toward Garen was fear.
Of course, if he knew that everyone on that battlefield was a Super Warrior like Garen, perhaps Tastandin would fall into despair without a doubt.
At that moment when Tastandin turned to flee,
Garen raised his sword and gave chase.
