After the yellow sand dissipated due to the magic, an ancient and heavy door appeared in front of Li Ke and the others. This door was more than ten meters tall, and there were countless gorgeous patterns carved on it. Even some of the decorations on it were made of gold, but after so many years of burial, the gold had become mottled and uneven.
"We're here."
Nasus didn't say much. Instead, he pressed his palm on the door, and the magic patterns on the door began to spread outward from his palm and quickly spread to the entire door. Then, as if something had gone wrong with the door, it did not open properly. Instead, it fell down with a loud crash, revealing the spacious but dilapidated hall inside, as well as the guards who were guarding the door.
When they walked into the hall, Li Ke saw that a lot of sand had appeared in the hall. It was obvious that after countless years, the magic of the front hall used as a decoration had lost its effectiveness and began to deteriorate. Nasus didn't seem to be surprised by this situation. His eyes were fixed on the door and the surrounding stone sculptures.
These stone sculptures were of mighty animals such as pythons, crocodiles, tigers, wolves, vicious dogs, turtles with fangs and spikes, leopards, lions, and some other animals. These animals were carved to look sacred, and combined with the murals of the ancient heroes fighting against the strange monsters behind them, there was a sense of beauty that couldn't be ignored.
Obviously, these statues were the ancient ascenders of Shurima who had been active and established countless meritorious deeds. The murals behind them were the scenes of them fighting against the void monsters and their heroic appearances when they won. But among these statues, the one that Li Ke was most concerned about was the ferocious python statue. Because in the updated background story of Cassiopeia, she was no longer a girl who broke an oath to a magical item and became a snake girl. Instead, after stabbing Sivir in the back, she was bitten by the python statue and injected with venom. She gradually gained ancient power and became a snake girl. Moreover, it was very likely that she would end up like Kai Yin, who was possessed by an ancient ascender.
But now, such a situation wouldn't occur.
"Li Ke, Sivir, come here."
Nasus spoke. He stood in front of the tall door of the mausoleum and looked at the mechanism that was almost identical to the one in Sivir's hand. Then, he shifted his gaze to the stone sculpture of the python. Then, he spoke again with some hesitation.
"As long as you bring Chalika to this door, you'll be able to obtain the power of an ancient ascender. Given the characteristics of your power and Sivir's identity, you'll be able to obtain this power safely. You'll also obtain a unique ability. But there are still risks. If you can't rely on your will to survive the pain and survive the battle with Zerath, then it will all be for naught. And even if you survive, your body will change. "
Li Ke refused without even thinking about it. He wouldn't do such a risky thing. Moreover, Lamia looked very beautiful, but Lamia didn't look like a Lamia.
"There's no need for that. Let's get ready to kill Zerath."
Obtaining power was as simple as it could be after saving Little Chick. Nassus said it so that he wouldn't have any grudges against Cassiopeia in the future. In other words, the power that should have belonged to Cassiopeia would belong to Li Ke after solving the problem.
"Alright then, everyone, get ready."
Nasus glanced at Sarah and the strange cat who didn't approach the statue. Instead, he nodded and gestured for Sivir, who had been standing still and gazing at the statues and murals, to open the door.
"This is the glory of the past, Sivir. You should start a new glory now. Go, open the door and let us welcome a new future. "
Sivir withdrew her gaze from the murals and walked over with her cross blade. She placed the cross blade into the cross-shaped opening and watched as the door began to rotate and emanated a dazzling golden radiance along with the cross blade.
"Wait, what about our battle plan?!"
Li Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong. But before he could say anything, the ancient deity's roar resounded in this place.
"Nasus! I knew it was you! I can smell the stench on your body from across this tomb! "
An electric roar sounded, and along with this sound, a magical bullet that distorted the surrounding temperature and turned it into a liquid state appeared. Nasus didn't make a move because Hanson dashed in front of him and blocked the magic bullet with his shield.
Pale blue light and magic energy exploded in an instant. After unlocking the seal, Zerath's magic could cause devastating damage to this area. The overflowing magic energy shattered everything around the gate, but only the stone carvings and murals guarding this mausoleum were not destroyed with the destruction of the stones.
"Life and death, the cycle of reincarnation never ends. Zerath, your time of death has come!"
Nasus held an axe in his hand and the surrounding yellow sand quickly gathered towards his body, making him jump to a height of more than ten meters in an instant. He faced an energy entity, a pure magic core bound by something that looked like a coffin.
"What a terrifying creature. If no one restricts him, he can destroy the entire tomb in an instant!"
Ryze narrowed his eyes, then a powerful magic energy suddenly appeared in his hands. Light blue lines appeared on the surrounding walls, preventing Zerath's second magic bullet from blowing open the surrounding doors and giving him a way to escape.
He was not stupid. There were four Ascenders standing at the entrance, and one of them was a Mage who gave him a very dangerous feeling. He would be crazy to start a fight with them here. Therefore, he was looking for a way to escape while he was talking. But Ryze's countermagic made his idea fail, so he gathered his energy again and fiercely smashed a powerful magic cannon at the place where Ryze didn't have time to cover.
He was very successful, and immediately blew away the roof of the hall they were in, revealing the dusky sky outside, showing the sun that was about to set and the moon that had just risen.
"Haha! You think you can deal with me by finding a group of idiots? Nasus! You're really indulging in fantasy! "
Zerath was overjoyed and immediately flew up. As long as he could leave this place alive, as a powerful mage, he definitely wouldn't fall into this situation again, but …
"Great Sun!"
"Merciful Moon!"
He made a mistake that he shouldn't have.
That was to sprinkle sunlight and moonlight into this thousand-year-old tomb.
