Chapter 187 Punishment Arrow Varus

"Oh! I can almost guess the ending!"

Watching Valmao carrying the seriously injured Kai to the well, Jiang Wen sighed during the commentary program.

However, he still fulfilled his duty as an interpreter and said:
“In fact, there are hints in the film!”

"There's no magic in this well!"

"It's the power of the Darkin!"

The quiet environment around the temple and the dyed land already illustrate this point.

And this darkin hiding in the well seems to be much more powerful than Rhaast!
Rhaast was stored everywhere by the Noxians, but only when the soldiers came into contact with him could they use the power of the Darkin!

Although this Darkin was buried in a deep well, he was still able to influence the surrounding environment!

……

Valmao placed his hope in this well, hoping that it could save his dying companions.

But this temple only brings curses.

In fact, after entering the area of ​​​​the temple, the two had already been corrupted by the released dark power.

And then, their bodies fell apart, their flesh and blood were controlled by the Darkin, entangled together into a new body.

This body could free Varus from his confinement.

Valmao and Kai disappeared completely from this world, and their bodies entered the well.

After the silence,
From the well emerged a gestalt, pale and inhumanly graceful, part human, part darkin.

After thousands of years of waiting, Varus was reborn.

……

——"Alas! It turned out to be the Darkin's doing!"

——"I remember Varus was mentioned in the movie before! How did he get brought to Ionia?"

——"What a shame! Valmao and Kai just fought off the invaders!"

——"Otherwise they will surely become heroes of Ionia!"

Everyone felt both pity and admiration for Valmao and Kai; they were the first warriors in Ionia to fight the invaders and successfully blocked the invading Noxians.

Even though he knew nothing about the magic well in the Temple of Pallas and only knew the legend about it, Valmao still chose this method in order to save the seriously injured Kai.

And his method cannot be said to have failed.

Because Kai's soul did not enter the spiritual realm, but remained with him in this new body, fighting against Varus' soul together!

As for Varus, not much was introduced in the previous plot. Everyone only knew that he was a darkin.

All we know is that he is an archer. So when Varus was sealed up by people, this Darkin weapon would naturally be in the shape of a bow.

However, in the following plot, everyone got to know more about Varus.

Like all darkin, they were once known as god-warriors, the Ascended of Shurima.

Whatever he became, Varus was a paragon of loyalty and honor.

His duties were also temple-related. As a skilled archer in the ancient Shurima Empire, he was assigned to guard a temple in the eastern region, and he regarded this as his supreme duty.

And then came the amazing Ekassia War. Although this war was named after Ekassia, they were not fighting against the Ekassia people. Because all the Ekassia people disappeared, including their land.

They are fighting against the void monsters that emerged from the ground of Icathia!

At the beginning of the Icathian War, Varus's hometown was attacked even though it was far away from the cursed land.

As the strongest warrior among the guards, Varus was asked to stay in the temple alone, while the other guards left their posts to defend the surrounding villages and towns.

As expected, Varus defended the temple alone, but each arrow he shot was accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar - because he chose to stick to his oath and did not return home to protect his family.

When the war was over, when the messengers of the Ascended Group found him, they saw him kneeling among the corpses of his enemies, meditating solemnly.

It is said that his icy gaze can unsettle even the god-warriors.

Nevertheless, in recognition of his valuable service, they invited Varus to join the ranks of the Ascended.

……

After watching Varus being blessed by the sun disk, the audience sighed.

In fact, it's not just Varus. Almost all the ascenders who were chosen to perform the ascension ceremony when they were mortals, almost all of them won honor for Shurima on the battlefield with their own strength.

But in the end, they became darkspawn.

Varus, the Ascendant, is a little special because he is an archer. He does not need to fight with the enemy on the battlefield, but kills the enemy with arrows from behind. It seems that because of this, his body has not changed much, unlike other Ascendants who have become half-human, half-beast.

After becoming an Ascendant, Varus still devoted himself to the battlefield of Shurima. He always remembered that war, but his only thought was to seek revenge on Icathia and the Void.

It seemed that Varus did not understand that Shurima ultimately won the war, and hundreds of years later he did not fully understand how the empire fell, and his mind became extremely twisted.

The series of atrocities turned him into a lonely, cold-blooded killer.

His fallen compatriots sent him into the battlefield again and again.

And their names are feared in today's world.

Darkin.

……

The audience can see that although Varus is also called the Darkin, he is not the leader of the war.

More of them are among his compatriots, that is, the other darkin teams.

But he seems to want only killing and revenge, even if Shurima no longer exists!

In this protracted war between the Darkin, the audience knows even more clearly that it was these Darkin who completely destroyed Shurima, and they will also destroy any mortals who dare to resist them!
The crystal longbow in Varus's hand is specifically used to assassinate enemy commanders and heroes, allowing the Darkin to more easily wipe out the mortal army.

But after the Protoss joined the war, the situation was reversed.

The darkspawn were sealed one by one, and so was Varus.

In the later stages of the war, as other darkin were sealed, Varus became outnumbered and powerless. It was not until the last Valoran warrior queen in golden armor, the vastaya moon chasers and the human mage group that forced Varus into a desperate situation.

Using the method taught by the stars, they sealed him in the longbow, leaving him to howl like a trapped beast.

By then, the darkin's corrupting power was already known, but the empress decided to use this deadly weapon herself in the final stages of the war.

She resolutely sacrificed herself for the great victory.
