Yatoku the Sword Demon, Li Xianghe the Terminator, the former top lane overlord, the focus of the tournament, and the former noble ascender.
Moreover, he was once one of the strongest ascenders. Even the power of some gods could not match up to him. Now, he was called the Dark One.
The Dark One was a derogatory term for ascenders who had been contaminated by the power of the Void and had forgotten their duties and glory. They attacked each other and no longer cared about the mortals and the order of the mortal world. Yatoku used to have brilliant golden wings, a golden noble body, and noble beliefs and glory. He protected mortals, repelled monsters, crushed evil, and defended order and glory.
At that time, ascenders like him were loved and worshipped by the people, which was one of the reasons why Shurima's ascender culture became more and more popular. When the people addressed them, they would also use another title that was filled with glory, admiration, and love.
Celestial Warriors.
At that time, they were so glorious and noble. Wherever they went, disputes would disappear. This was because while they had great power that mortals could hardly understand, they also had a noble heart that mortals could not reach. They also had wisdom and willpower that far surpassed mortals. Each of them was the strongest pillar of the Shurima Empire, and they were extremely loyal to the noblest bloodline of Shurima, which was the bloodline of Azir's family.
But when Azir died, the Shurima Empire fell apart, and there was no direct bloodline to inherit the throne. Not only did Shurima gradually weaken, but countless once glorious cities were buried by yellow sand. Even these noble celestial warriors, who seemed to be comparable to the sun, had a terrible change.
In the endless battles against monsters and their own kind, they became terrifying existences. In the end, a scheme of the Twilight Star Spirit, Mai Yisha, completely shattered their Celestial Bodies and ended their lives.
Of course, this was the fate of the other Dark Ones, but Yatoku's fate was very different from theirs. This was because he was even more mysterious than the other ascenders. He had once fought side by side with the first queen of the Shurima Empire against the Void. When he was sealed, the Twilight Star Spirit, Maisha, before Zooey, had not found a way to kill the ascenders. Therefore, he and his brothers who were also contaminated by the Void had met a different end.
He experienced what could be called a 'great' battle, but in the end, he was sealed by Hanson and the previous Twilight Star Spirit, Mai Yisha, with a trick. He was sealed into a weapon like his other powerful brothers. Fortunately, his seal was the giant sword that had accompanied him through countless battles and was also contaminated by the power of the Void.
"If it's really him …"
Li Ke was a little nervous, because if it was really that powerful ancient existence, it meant that he had come to this place of ice and snow according to the plot. And whether he was here to cultivate a host that could carry him, or to find something else, no one knew.
After all, Li Ke had read his background story because he liked his previous character very much. He knew that there was another possibility for him to come to Freldrod: he was thrown here by someone.
This was not impossible because Yatoku no longer had his previous body. He could only distort the flesh and blood of mortals to recreate his former body. In the revised version of Hanson's story, his head was as tall as a three-story building, but in other related stories, his sword could be picked up by mortals, even if the mortals were just children.
Of course, there was only one outcome for mortals who picked up the sword that sealed him, and that was to have their consciousness and soul erased by his immense will and dark magic. Their bodies would be taken over by him, and then, under the influence of his dark magic, he would transform them into the Sword Demon that we were all familiar with. After that, he would vent his anger and all kinds of negative emotions, setting off a storm of blood wherever he appeared. He would constantly absorb the flesh and blood of the mortals he killed and transform his body. Until his distorted body could no longer carry him, or until this body was killed.
"Do you know who did it?"
Aichy saw that Li Ke seemed to know something, so she asked with concern. After all, the dark power of this fanged beast was too ominous. She felt like she was looking into an invincible abyss just by looking at it.
"I'm not sure. I need more evidence … And if I'm not wrong, this guy needs a god to deal with. The only way we can deal with him is to detect him as soon as possible, and it's best to detect him when he's more than ten kilometers away, then escape. "
Li Ke touched the wound with his hand, but was careful not to touch the black gas. It was just that he was not sure if this was done by Yatoku. After all, with his skills and strength, it was impossible for him to kill this beast a second time. There was really no possibility of this beast escaping. And in the background story he saw, the aftermath of the battle between Yatoku and the current Star Spirit Panson destroyed tens of thousands of troops and countless mountains. Even if the people of Aichy's tribe could fight, it was impossible for them to be compared to Yatoku. So if they really encountered Yatoku, then it was more appropriate to escape. After all, this Sword Demon was no longer a glorious ascender, but a monster who longed to destroy the world, and would even slaughter women, children, and infants!
Just like the so-called artist Ember, they were both monsters that Li Ke would decisively kill when he had the chance to kill them.
Killing them would only make the world a better place.
"Is this enemy so powerful?"
Although Aichy also felt her heart palpitate, she was not as worried as Li Ke. Because before she met Li Ke, she often encountered opponents that could make her heart palpitate, but she always defeated these powerful enemies and made these existences that made her heart palpitate forever. So she did not feel that the enemy this time was the kind of existence that needed them to retreat like this.
"Our opponent is very likely to be a god slayer."
Li Ke recalled his memory again and was very sure of this matter.
