Aatrox pulled the greatsword out of Tryndamere’s body and flung him away as though tossing aside a piece of trash.
Aatrox did not kill him the way he had killed Tryndamere’s other tribesmen.
Instead, he had only gravely wounded him.
If Tryndamere had looked closely, he would have seen that when Aatrox looked at him now, his eyes were already filled with greed.
Under Tryndamere’s gaze, the greatsword in Aatrox’s hand swung once again toward his tribesmen.
Facing a Darkin with the power of a demigod, Tryndamere’s tribesmen had no ability to resist at all.
The greatswords in their hands snapped like icicles the moment they were struck.
Every time Aatrox swung his greatsword, it meant another of Tryndamere’s tribesmen would die.
Aatrox seemed to be deliberately letting Tryndamere see this, letting him witness the deaths of his own people.
Because he could smell the aura within Tryndamere’s bloodline!
“Tryndamere, so weak!
You think someone like you can stop me from killing your people?”
“Your people are dying because you are too weak!
Hahahahaha!”
Leaning crookedly beneath a tent, Tryndamere could still hear the desperate wails of his tribesmen before their deaths echoing beside his ears.
His eyes were blood-red, and his whole body kept trembling.
The hideous wound in his abdomen kept sending waves of sharp pain through him.
His hands were clenched tightly together, and his teeth had completely torn through his lips.
As blood continued to drain from the wound in his abdomen, Tryndamere’s mind also began to blur.
It seemed he, too, was about to reach the edge of death, about to die with his heart full of rage.
But just as Tryndamere was about to die, when even his consciousness had grown completely hazy, a blood-red mist began to rise from his body!
On the white snow, the mist coming from Tryndamere’s body was extremely conspicuous, and it drew Aatrox’s attention almost instantly.
When Aatrox saw this, he casually split another tribesman apart, and the greed in his blood-colored eyes grew even stronger.
He looked in Tryndamere’s direction and murmured to himself, “That kid’s ‘knowing a little’ was actually this reliable!”
“It just took quite a bit of work to fully awaken the power in this body’s bloodline!”
“Roar!”
A shrill roar rang out once again, and Aatrox saw with his own eyes that Tryndamere, who had been lying on the ground on the verge of death, had actually stood up again!
At this moment, Tryndamere’s entire body was covered in blood-red mist.
Vast blood energy surged out from Tryndamere’s body.
Even his bloodline was boiling constantly.
In the fury of watching his people be slaughtered by Aatrox, the power within Tryndamere’s bloodline had finally awakened.
The power that came from the boar god now filled Tryndamere’s entire body!
Tryndamere charged toward Aatrox once again, the greatsword in his hand chopping straight toward Aatrox’s head!
Boom!
In the next instant, the greatsword in Aatrox’s hand collided with Tryndamere’s blade.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Tryndamere’s greatsword was already covered in cracks, and he himself was sent flying by an unimaginably tremendous force.
After rolling across the ground for a long distance, Tryndamere stood back up, raised his broken greatsword, and charged toward Aatrox again without the slightest fear.
At this moment, there seemed to be no emotion left in Tryndamere’s eyes.
He only wanted to kill the demon before him and avenge his people.
As Aatrox looked at Tryndamere now, his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
“A qualified body!
This power, does it come from one of the ancient demigods of this land?”
Aatrox was like a cat toying with its prey.
He greedily admired Tryndamere’s rage while knocking him away again and again.
Finally, whether because he had finished playing or because he had suddenly thought of something, when Tryndamere charged toward Aatrox once more, Aatrox grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air by force!
Not only that, but Aatrox’s greatsword once again sank into Tryndamere’s body.
And this time, it was his heart!
Pfft!
“Tryndamere, go join your people!”
The Darkin greatsword carried terrifying power as it pierced through Tryndamere’s chest, and after struggling for a short while, he lost all signs of life completely.
Without the slightest hesitation, Aatrox slung the greatsword behind him, and dense blood-colored light began to gather in both of his hands!
The forbidden art Darkin used to reshape their bodies, blood magic!
“I had originally planned to let you go and kill you once your body grew stronger.
But now, I have a new target!”
As Aatrox spoke, the blood-colored light in his hands completely enveloped Tryndamere.
Amid the wind and snow filling the sky, Aatrox’s body swelled like an inflating balloon.
Immediately afterward, an extremely horrifying sound of tearing flesh rang out, and Aatrox’s chest actually split open into a bloody maw! This chapter was copied from novelping(.)com without permission.
Just like before, Aatrox had no intention of using possession to find a host.
He would only use Tryndamere’s body as material to reinforce his current body anew!
Only after Tryndamere’s body had been completely fused into his own did the blood-colored light on the surface of Aatrox’s body slowly fade.
After finishing all of this, he suddenly looked in a certain direction.
There stood the totem in Tryndamere’s camp.
The Freljordian demigod, Ildhaurg, the Iron Boar!
“With this body as a stepping stone, I can go search for an even stronger body!”
…
…
Naturally, Zach knew nothing about what had happened in the Freljord.
Now he was riding that small boat, swaying unsteadily across the Conqueror’s Sea.
Following the principle of raising the sail when there was wind and slacking off when there was none, after several days of travel, Zach could finally no longer see the shadow of the Shuriman mainland.
Based on Zach’s impression of Runeterra, he guessed that as long as he kept heading north, he would be able to reach the Bilgewater Isles.
For those with strength, Bilgewater was no different from paradise.
As his second stop after arriving in Runeterra, Zach was still looking forward to Bilgewater very much.
The little boat continued swaying across the sea, and Zach drew closer to the Bilgewater Isles little by little.
About two more days passed, and Zach finally arrived in the outer waters of Bilgewater!
At this point, he could already see ships coming and going.
Most of these ships came from Bilgewater Harbor, and they had gone out to hunt those giant sea monsters.
Zach did not hesitate any longer.
He immediately rowed the oars and steered the little boat forward.
However, Zach did not notice that while he was rowing his little boat across the outer waters of Bilgewater, an incomparably huge shadow appeared beneath him!
Zach seemed to have forgotten that in some places, you had to pay a tax before going out to sea!
He becomes connected to Silco’s side, gains a Skin Master System, and uses League skin-based weapons, tech, armor, and abilities to change the fate of Zaun.
Instead of letting Arcane’s tragedies play out exactly the same way, Felix tries to protect the people around him, especially Powder/Jinx, and push Zaun toward open rebellion against Piltover.
The story starts with the Piltover-Zaun conflict, then expands into the wider Runeterra setting: Noxus’s invasion of Ionia, Demacia’s internal conflict, the Freljord, Shurima, the Void, and eventually the Ruination/Shadow Isles plotline.
