Chapter 136: Fate is like a weave, be a rock

"Zerath!"

A strange name came into the ears of the audience along with Nasus' roar.

But he, no, it should be said that his body is even stranger than his name!
The energy body that made the crackling sound could only be seen as a human figure by its general outline from a distance, and on the surface of this dark energy body were cast iron chains and a pile of broken stone pieces.

The form of the Ascended One is no longer human-like, and this energy body——

It is really hard for the audience to imagine what this Xerath had to go through to become this shape.

However, correspondingly, just from its appearance, everyone can feel the power of this ancient witch spirit!
In the commentary booth, the two commentators frowned as they watched the tribal war groups rushing towards Vikora from afar.

"According to Nasus, this Xerath was an important figure in the downfall of the ancient Shurima Empire!"

"But wasn't Azir the emperor of ancient Shurima?"

"Could it be that this Xerath is from another empire? Did he destroy the ancient Shurima Empire?"

"Now that Azir is resurrected, is Xerath also resurrected?"

Anyone can see the power of this ancient sorcerer, and no one doubts that it can destroy the ancient Shurima Empire.

I'm just curious, in Nasus's memory, how such a huge and glorious civilization was destroyed. Was it really just because of Xerath alone?
And how did this Zeratul transform into this energy body?

Not only these two commentators, but all the netizens who watched the video also started to speculate. Unfortunately, it is impossible to restore the truth of the fall of the ancient Shurima Empire through just a few one-sided memories of Nasus.

But there is no doubt that this Xerath is definitely a key figure among them, and Nasus and Renekton fought against him after the collapse of the solar disc!

Another point that puzzled all the audience was, what was Azir, the Emperor of Shurima, doing at that time? Didn't he come out to save his empire?

As the story progresses, these ancient secrets buried in the yellow sand gradually surface one by one.

But now everyone can see that the situation is urgent. With the resurrection of Shurima Emperor Azir, not only the ancient Shurima Empire has returned, but also his enemies.

Nasus had not yet found the descendant of Shurima with ascended blood. The priest standing in front of the inferior sun disc was a fake just like his sun temple. But now, Xerath also led the Shurima tribes he ruled to attack Vekaura.

His target is the same as Nasus's, the descendant of the Shurima royal family hiding in Vikaura!

The audience's eyes were fixed on the screen, and they couldn't help but wonder, will the last ascended bloodline of Shurima follow Nasus, or will he be captured by Xerath?

But the most important thing now is, who is she and where is she hiding?

……

When the ancient wizard Zelas led his army to attack Vikora.

The scene quietly moved to the other side of Vikaola, and Talia appeared in front of the camera.

There was little left of this abandoned house on the eastern edge of Waikaura, except for a large skylight in the roof and ankle-deep sand on the floor, but it still had four walls and a tree that provided some shade when the weather was hottest.

Taliyah's bundle stood in the corner of the room, ready to be picked up and taken away as usual. Leather bags filled with water and goat's milk hung on the wall, and next to her clothes was enough dried meat to last for a few weeks. Leather bags were filled with stones collected from all over Valoran. Taliyah knelt down next to the injured woman, who lay in the shade of a tree, wrapped in bandages. She glanced at the scabs of blood around the wound and couldn't help but shudder - even though she had sutured the wound herself.

Taliyah wasn't sure. She felt that the horrible wound looked like a sword wound.

Taliyah helped her remove her armor and cleaned her as best she could. Aside from the wound that had nearly killed her, the woman's body was a map of scars from a lifetime of fighting, mostly on the front.

Only this most serious wound was on her back.

Whoever this woman was, it appeared that she had only one enemy, and she was not in a face-to-face confrontation.

Taliyah changed the bandage for her. The woman groaned in pain, her body trying to recover in her sleep. Only the Mother of Weaver knew how much she had suffered in the desert.

“You are a warrior,” Taliyah said. “I can see that, so you must strive to stay alive.”

Taliyah didn't know if the woman heard her, but maybe her words could help the woman's spirit return to her body.

In any case, it was nice to have someone to talk to, even if no one responded - unless you counted the whispers about the emperor and death that she kept mumbling in her fever.

Ever since saying goodbye to Yasuo in Ionia, Taliyah has tried hard to remind herself not to stay in any one place for too long unless absolutely necessary, and to keep moving.

But her stay in Waikaura had gone beyond her plan.

Her original plan was to buy fresh supplies and hit the road immediately, but she simply couldn't leave this woman unconscious.

The urge to find her family was like a needle prick in her heart, but the Weaver Mother said that everyone is closely woven in the interweaving of the warp and weft of life. If one thread is allowed to fray, it will eventually destroy the entire tapestry.

So Taliyah stayed to fulfill the promise she made to the woman, even though the urge to return home tormented her soul all the time.

Taliyah pushed aside the woman's hot black hair from her brow and looked at her face carefully, wondering how she could have been so badly injured and half buried in the sand dunes on the edge of the Great Sai Desert.

She was beautiful, but with a hard edge that even unconsciousness couldn't soften. Her skin was a light brown from sunlight, typical of Shurima, and when her eyelids occasionally fluttered open and closed, Taliyah saw that her eyes were a clear sky blue.

Taliyah exhaled: "Well, there's nothing I can do to help you. I can only wait for you to wake up."

Just then, Taliyah heard a muffled explosion to the west, and then the unmistakable sound of rocks rolling and grinding against each other.

She walked to the window and looked out. At first she thought it was an earthquake, but soon she thought it was a landslide - she had seen many such events.

Given the condition of most of the buildings in Vikaula, it wouldn't be surprising if it was the sound of a house collapsing.

Just as the kind-hearted Taliyah secretly prayed to the Mother Weaver, hoping that no one would get hurt.

A weak woman's voice came from behind:

"What happened...? Where am I?"
