All we can say is that fate is fickle and the downfall of a glorious empire is always the result of many factors stacked together.
Varus
Zuo Chi said softly: “Perhaps Nasus also had his own difficulties at that time.”
Varus withdrew his thoughts and looked at Zuo Chi in front of him. The dejection in his eyes had completely disappeared.
"It doesn't matter, it's all in the past. Everything in the past has nothing to do with me now!"
After saying this, Varus walked past Zuo Chi and pulled him towards the city.
For no reason, Zuo Chi suddenly asked: "Vairus, if in the future, Xerath, who has escaped from the trap, attacks Azir again, and Azir is unable to resist Xerath, what will you do?"
Zuo Chi had asked Aatrox this question a long time ago, and now he really wanted to see Varus' reaction.
When Varus heard Zuo Chi's question, his body shook and he did not answer Zuo Chi immediately.
After a long time, just when the two of them arrived in front of the city, Varus slowly said: "Now I am just a darkin. What happens in Shurima has nothing to do with me."
Same answer as Aatrox.
Zuo Chi pursed his lips. Perhaps, they are really no longer the ascended gods they once were.
Without saying anything else, Zuo Chi and Varus climbed over the city wall and rushed towards the direction where the energy fluctuations came from.
On the other side, in the center of the city, there is an ancient library of extremely grand scale.
"Moniila, get out of here!"
In the library, between rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, Nasus pointed the war scepter in his hand at the defiant figure opposite him, his eyes full of warnings.
Just opposite Nasus, a figure covered in a tattered black robe with obvious wildebeest features on his body was resting his hands on the bookshelf, looking at Nasus with a playful expression.
"Hey, look who this is? It turns out to be our Grand Secretary."
As a darkin who had participated in the Void War, Moneiela obviously knew Nasus, and he seemed to have come specifically for Nasus at this time.
Moneiela is one of the few independent Darkin who has survived to this day. He does not belong to Aatrox's side, nor does he belong to any side. He is just a lone ranger.
Nasus ignored Moniila's sarcasm and continued to warn in a deep voice: "This is the last time, get out of here!"
Not only did Moniila not retreat, but she moved closer to Nasus.
"Grandmaster, I need to get some information from you. As soon as I get the information, I will leave immediately."
As he spoke, his eyes lingered on the books on the bookshelf beside him: "I know these books are your treasures. You don't want to see them destroyed in our battle, do you?"
It is common knowledge among almost everyone in Shurima that Nasus cherishes books.
At the beginning, every time the Shurima army conquered a place, Nasus would strictly prohibit the soldiers from destroying the local library. Nasus even fought with his brother Renekton for this reason.
It is also because of Nasus that many ancient books of the ancient Shurima Empire have been preserved intact to this day.
It is also because of these books that Shurima's civilization has never been interrupted, and the former glory of the ancient Shurima Empire has never been forgotten.
Now, in this city called Nashrameh, Moneiras was actually preparing to use these books as a condition to threaten Nasus.
Nasus stared at Moniila opposite him and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
Moniera spread his hands and suddenly grinned:
"I want Queen Setaka's weapon. You must know where it is. Tell me and I'll leave right away."
As a lone man, Moniila must try his best to improve his strength. Only in this way can he have the capital to compete with other small groups of dark descendants.
The weapon of the Ascended Empress Setaka is undoubtedly his best choice!
The moment Monira finished speaking, Nasus' brows were tightly furrowed.
However, due to Monila's threat, Nasus said: "I haven't seen Charikar for thousands of years. I don't know where it is! You can leave now."
Moniara's expression did not change as he listened to Nasus' words. He still looked at Nasus with a faint smile:
"Grandmaster, it's not good to lie. If you were to ask who in Shurima could find Charikar, it would seem that you are the only one, right? After all, you were the only one appointed by the Tsar to be the manager of Charikar."
Nasus's expression did not change at all, and he continued, "I gave Charikar to Tayanali. As for where Charikar went after that, I don't know."
"is it?"
Moniila tilted his head, and suddenly, he grinned, then swung the long knife in his hand and chopped at the bookshelf next to him.
"boom!"
In an instant, the powerful force of the Darkin caused the several-meter-high bookshelf to explode completely, and the books on the bookshelf were blown into flying snow, falling to the ground.
"Grandmaster, this is the first one. I hope you can tell the truth quickly for the sake of the other books."
The moment Monira's voice fell, a black shadow rushed towards him from where Nasus was just now.
Moniila only felt an extremely powerful force coming, and he was pinched by the neck by the other party and flew backwards.
"Oh!"
Moniila hit the wall of the library heavily, and her entire body was embedded in the wall.
Moniira looked ahead with horror, only to see that Nasus had raised the war scepter in his hand and was rushing towards him again.
"How can this be!"
Moniila never expected that Nasus' power would be so strong.
Isn't it said that Nasus and his brother are two extremes, and Nasus is a gentle and refined university scholar! ?
Even if he is called a military god, it seems to be only because of his high level of tactics, right?
Moniila had never seen Nasus take action, so he always thought that Nasus's power should be just at the level of an ordinary ascended god, and the reason why he was respected was only because of his academic level.
But now it seemed that Nasus's power was worth re-evaluating.
However, since the things he cherished were destroyed by Moniella, it was obviously impossible for Nasus to let Moniella go.
Waving the war staff in his hand continuously, Nasus slashed at Moniira again and again.
From the ancient Shurima period to the present day, Moneiras has been sealed by the Protoss, but Nasus has actually been staying on the Shurima continent.
Over thousands of years, even a dog would have improved its strength, let alone this generation's ascended god commander!
The reason Nasus didn't take the initiative before was because he didn't want his favorite books to be destroyed.
Now that we know that compromise will not protect books, there is no need for any tolerance.
Under Nasus' attack, Monira's figure kept retreating. At this time, he no longer had his previous arrogance, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
If he were given a chance to do it again, Moniila would never be so impulsive again.
It’s a pity that it’s impossible to start over again. Now Nasus just wants to kill Monira as soon as possible.
Finally, knowing that he could not resist, Moniila chose to escape.
He raised his sword and used all his strength to push Nasus back, while at the same time he turned into a beam of black light and rushed straight towards the wall of the library.
"boom!"
A big hole was directly knocked open in the wall of the library, and the wind, sand and light from the outside immediately entered the library.
However, just as Moniera rushed out of the library and thought he had successfully escaped, he suddenly heard a dull whisper from behind:
"withered!"
In an instant, a strange purple-black power permeated Moniila's body. Moniila felt an extremely strong sense of exhaustion coming from his body, and he even felt like he couldn't move his legs.
Just as Moniera paused, Nasus' figure followed closely behind him, rushing out of the library and heading straight towards him.
Looking at Nasus' figure, Moniila knew that if he didn't use his full strength, he might not even be able to walk today.
"Oh!"
The blazing blood burst out from his body, and Moniila's aura began to rise steadily. The pair of giant horns on his head were rapidly extending, and his legs were covered with strange scales.
As Nasus watched what was happening to Monira, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the war scepter.
Immediately afterwards, the pure yet rich power of ascension began to flow from his heart to every corner of his body.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Nasus has been running towards Moniira, and his body is getting bigger and bigger as he runs. The violent ascension power surrounds his body and ravages the surroundings, destroying everything around it.
Unlike Zuo Chi's partial ascension, Nasus' form is extremely perfect, and the increase in size is also huge.
By the time Nasus' body stopped growing, his height had reached nearly thirty meters!
Looking down, Nasus saw the war staff in his hand slashing down vertically.
"Darkborn, die!"
This time, in the hands of Nasus in his prime, Moneiira no longer had any power to fight back and soon reached the brink of collapse.
Just as Nasus’s final blow was about to fall, Monira screamed at Nasus unwillingly:
“Nasus, next time I break the seal, I will make you regret it!”
"You have no chance."
The moment Monira's voice fell, Nasus's hammer had already fallen.
The huge force fell on Moniila's shoulders, causing his body to completely collapse.
Under normal circumstances, Moniira's soul should return to the weapon again at this time, and the connection with her body will be severed.
Moniila was suddenly shocked to find that an extremely dazzling golden light appeared in Nasus's hands, and a golden blade wheel phantom appeared in his hands!
"Nasus, Charikar is in your hands!" These were the last words Moniira shouted before his death.
The next moment, Nasus's big hand, which was filled with golden light, slapped Monira on the head.
"boom!"
With a violent roar, Moniila's head exploded completely, and rich blood and ascension power rushed into the sky together.
Moniila was like a balloon with a hole in it, and the strength in his body was rapidly draining away.
When the noise in the city of Nashrameh completely subsided, all that was left in front of Nasus was a withered corpse and a broken blade!
At this point, the Darkin Moneiela died at the hands of the ascended god Nasus!
Bending over and holding Moniira's body in his hand, Nasus turned his head to look at the buildings behind him.
"Veros, come out. Are you here for Charikar as well?"
