Chapter 863 [0860] Beginning and End

When anyone first sees Sejuani in the half-ice state, they will think that the flesh and blood side is the real body.

Ashe has also heard about the battle of Mithril City and knows that Lux once defeated Sejuani head-on, so when she saw Sejuani in this state, she was no exception.

However, when Sejuani's ice body exploded and turned into ice blades all over the sky that cut Ashe, and when Ashe's blood flowed out and stained the ice blades, she found that things seemed to be completely different from what she had originally thought.

Although these ice blades were not true ice, they gave Ashe a feeling of blood connection. Even if she was cut by ice blades and was covered with wounds, Ashe did not even feel any pain.

The blood drops on the wounds taken away by the ice blades did not solidify, but merged with the ice blades. After noticing this, Ashe, who was shrouded in ice mist, finally widened her eyes.

This kind of blood connection, this kind of contractual power that is sometimes there and sometimes not, Ashe has only felt it in two people.

One is her only blood ally, loyal partner and spouse, Tryndamere.

The other is Sejuani, who was once a sister and promised to be a sister but eventually parted ways.

Then, the result is obvious - these broken, sharp ice blades are Sejuani's flesh and blood.

So the other half of the twisted flesh and blood that Ashe saw, which was tightly grasping this half of the ice body, should be the power of the old god of Volibear.

To be honest, after realizing this, Ashe's movements were delayed for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the flight trajectory of these ice blades was too scattered when they burst, she might have been seriously injured on the spot.

And when Ashe understood Sejuani's state, many of her previous doubts were completely clarified at this time.

Why did Sejuani, who was more proud and stubborn than anyone else, eventually become the lost one who believed in Volibear?

Maybe the old gods did not subdue her will, but simply twisted her body form and turned her ice blood into a materialized ice body.

Why did Ashe feel Sejuani's arrival in the back mountain, but didn't feel that kind of familiarity when she really faced Sejuani?

Because Ashe didn't realize that the ice body was Sejuani's true body, she regarded her familiarity with Sejuani's half-ice body as her closeness and connection with ice and snow as an ice bloodline.

Why is Sejuani's moves completely different from the past, even forcing Ashe to be caught off guard for a while?

Because the one fighting Ashe was not that Sejuani, but a Loser controlled by Volibear, with twisted flesh and blood, and it was not Sejuani's North Wind Flail, but the Storm Flail, which was fundamentally not the same way.

After realizing it, Ashe tried to call on the power of the contract.

If Sejuani didn't really give in, then maybe she could help a little!

In this way, in the ice fog, Ashe tried to pull the True Ice Longbow and actively called on the power of the robe.

Almost at the moment when Ashe pulled the bowstring, the ice blades flying around responded to her quickly.

This was Sejuani's last will. Although she had cooperated with the Lost, it was just a group looting relationship. There were many shamans and beast walkers in the Winter Claw, but this never meant that she wanted to be a lackey of the old gods!

Volibear just took advantage of Sejuani's most helpless time and used the power of the old gods to forcibly "squeeze" her into a piece of ice, and then manipulated her with his own flesh and blood!

Ashe didn't know why Volibear went to such great lengths-maybe Sejuani's ice blood stimulated him, maybe he thought Sejuani had some potential. In short, through this method, the former Sejuani became the monster now.

There is no doubt that Sejuani had died as early as that time.

But even if she died, Sejuani did not really surrender-even if she had become a piece of ice and a weapon of the old gods, when Ashe activated the power of the robe after many years and called her, she still used her last strength to resist Volibear in the end!

In the previous battles, Ashe was interrupted every time she tried to condense the magic crystal arrow.

But this time, under the effect of the Blood Alliance, the ice blade transformed by Sejuani's body condensed into the unprecedented giant arrow on Ashe's bowstring!

Since Ashe did not need to condense the arrow from scratch this time, the arrow was already formed almost when the bowstring was fully pulled.

In this case, it was too late to stop it.

The magic crystal arrow hit the target, and the twisted flesh and blood were instantly frozen.

Then, Ashe did not hesitate at all, directly grabbed the flail next to her, and used all her strength to smash it hard on the ice sculpture.

At the moment the flail hit the ice sculpture, the sound of the ice sculpture tearing and the roar of thunder mixed together, echoing in this small valley, and the frozen flesh and blood was smashed like an ordinary piece of rough porcelain.

At the same time as the ice sculpture shattered, a burst of ice mist also exploded, and under the strong light of Lux's lighting, it flashed with colorful arcs.

The palm of Ashe's right hand holding the Storm Flail was burned by the thunder, but she seemed not to notice it. She just watched the floating ice mist, watching it drift away and disappear bit by bit, watching the colorful arc light completely disappear, and then she let go of the flail belatedly.

In the arc light of the ice mist, Ashe seemed to see Sejuani again.

"My name is Sejuani, the future conqueror of the Freljord!"

"Sometimes I really envy you. If only Glenna were my mother..."

"Ha, if you ask me to say, Avarosa really takes it for granted. Only Serelda's path is the right one!"

"Ai Xi, Ai Xi, look, this lock of my hair has turned silver-white. The ice blood in my body has awakened!"

"Is this kind of light weapon really useful on the battlefield? In the future, I will definitely get the heaviest flail that no one else can pick up as my own weapon!"

"The Winter's Claws are migrating again. It's such a shame that we have to share the hunting ground with those garbage - when I become a War Mother, I swear no one will dare to touch the Winter's Claws' hunting ground!"

"See you next summer, Ai Xi. I hope you won't be frozen to tears by an ordinary Zhenbing dagger. Woo hoo hoo, I can't pick it up——"

"You haven't seen the missing one, have you? Hahaha, Ashe, look carefully. I'm Sejuani - ever since your tribe never came to Ornkar in the summer, I thought I'd never see you again. …”

"Five summers, I thought... Quick, help me cut the meat. We have to leave here with as much meat as possible before the bears find it. Damn it, it's all because of that loser Kojiya!"

"The moon in the Ice Sea is so round. It looks like the butt of Ernuk in heat - a spring? Are you kidding? There are a lot of young men in the tribe, but they are all too weak and none of them are likable. I broke the strongest guy’s jaw with just three punches.”

"Sejuani of Winter's Claw, I swear with my blood that I will treat you as family, I will protect your children, share your pain, and I will protect you like a sister!"

"My tribe is starving, Ai Xi, you are my robe, and this is my order. Only when they die can my tribe survive, and only then can you become one of us openly!"

"Take this garbage, go away, and never come back - if fate allows us to meet again, I will regard you as a traitor and my enemy!"

"See, Ashe, this is my tribe, my coalition. Only strength can unify Freljord! And thank you for your reminder. Sometimes those things that look like garbage can also have their own uses. ——Look at this warm-blooded man, he helped me cross the Nueskara Pass!”

"..."

"..."

Complex emotions filled Ashe's heart. For her, Sejuani was her childhood playmate and young best friend. They made a vow to each other and broke up because of different ideas.

Sometimes, Ashe even felt that Sejuani was a mirror to herself, reflecting a completely different choice, leading to a completely different path.

When the news came that Sejuani was defeated in Mithril City and her life or death was unknown, Ashe was once very calm. This calmness she considered to be "letting go of the past with Sejuani."

However, when the news came that "there is a lost person with half a body wandering in Ornkar", Ashe realized that the previous calm came entirely from her trust in Sejuani - she trusted Sejuani but not Would die so easily, after all, she had sworn to be the conqueror of Freljord since she was a child.

And now, Ashe finally witnessed Sejuani's complete death. In the trance-inducing ice mist, she seemed to have returned to the glorious late spring on the slopes of Ornkar.

"Hey, I'm Sejuani, Sejuani of Winter's Claws!"

The ice mist dissipates.

A heartbreaking pain came from the palm of her hand, piercing into Ashe's brain like a burst of electricity. Her right hand couldn't help but twitch, and finally she could no longer hold the storm flail.

And as the Storm Flail landed, it instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, rushing out of the mountain col, into the sky, and finally turned into a burst of rolling thunder, as if to tell the story of Volibear's anger.

Ai Xi did not look at his right hand, which had been burnt black by electricity. Instead, he opened his arms and raised his head as if embracing the sky.

Under the strong light, thick clouds rolled over Gushuangkou Old Road, thunder bursts, and freezing rain dropped, hitting Ai Xi on the cheek.

Perhaps because of Volibear's anger, this sudden freezing rain seemed a bit warm.

……………………

When Ashe sent Sejuani away gracefully, Lux had almost completed her mission.

Although these lost ones obviously have the goal of "recovering the field", and there are many lost priests who can summon arcs and even lightning, they are completely worthless in front of Lux.

Even compared to being besieged, for Lux, protecting Ashe's battle from being disturbed by the outside world was more troublesome.

Of course, it's just a little troublesome.

Finally, when Volibear's unwilling but helpless roar sounded, the few who were still able to move ran towards the back mountain as if they were granted amnesty.

Freezing rain poured down, hiding their traces within a few breaths.

In this case, Lux did not continue to pursue, but turned around and looked at Ashe, who was still a little dazed.

She didn't see the entire battle clearly.

But judging from the result, Ashe seemed to have killed one of her good friends with her own hands. Although in Lux's view, Sejuani was more than worthy of her death, she was still dead. At this time, she could only shake her head slightly. , put away his light-cast wings, and began to study how to repair these stone houses that were damaged in the battle.

First, they built a simple shed for Jukar, who was still in a state of panic. While Lux tried to repair a stone house, she looked at Ashe, who was still hugging the sky like a statue.

"I hope the Ice Bloodline won't catch a cold." She finally shook her head, "I don't know what tricks that bear will have in the future... He won't continue to send these lost people to deliver food, right?"

"Laxana." After a long time, when Lax simply cleaned up a damaged stone house and began to research whether there were any materials that could be used to make a fire, Ashe finally came back to her senses, "The one in Demacia What does death mean in culture?

"In the tradition of Demacia?" This question made Lux stunned for a moment, "Death... probably means the beginning of remembering and judging - after a person dies, everything he experiences will become part of history. Either they are remembered, or they are gradually forgotten, and eventually disappear completely.”

"In Freljord, many people regard death as a kind of glory." Ashe seemed to have completely recovered. "What is more glorious than living to be praised is to be remembered by the world after death."

"Many people think so." Lux nodded, "This is true in the West Freljord subcontinent and in Luxtak."

"Yes." Ai Xi also nodded, and then very skillfully emptied the corpses of several lost people, found out the things that could be used as fuel, threw them into the simple stove, and lit the flame again, " I really hope that one day I can wait for it to come with glory.”

Hearing what Ashe said, Lux finally raised her eyebrows.

Various talismans, totems and animal bones were stuffed into the stove. After being ignited, it made a beeping sound, mixed with the sound of freezing rain dripping outside, like a white noise to help you sleep.

However, neither Ashe nor Lux, who were sitting on either side of the fire, could sleep - it seemed that today was a bit exciting. The two started with death, and chatted until the sky was getting brighter, until the day outside. Jukar let out a cry of hunger and then stood up at the same time.

Walking out of the door of the stone house, Ai Xi saw a touch of green. While she went to get food for Jukar, she looked at the sprouts carefully.

That is the sprouting of flowers.

I feel like a fool.

The computer suddenly wouldn't turn on. I checked the hardware one by one and found that everything from the power supply to the CPU to the graphics card was normal on the old computer. After removing the motherboard button battery and discharging it to no avail, I concluded that the motherboard might be broken.

Then, after I applied for after-sales service and made an appointment to pick up the product, I discovered that the cause of all this was actually that the wire at the end of the power strip was loose. I checked the power cord on the computer side, but not on that side. .

Although it is a good thing that the computer is not broken, I am not happy at all. I just feel like a fool.

A fool like me must be at great risk of Alzheimer's disease...
