Cassiopeia glanced coldly at Sivir, who was lying on the ground, breathing more than she was breathing, with a look of disdain on her face.
"You have fulfilled your mission, Sivir. That was to bring this crossblade here."
According to the records handed down from generation to generation, this cross blade used by the first emperor of the Shurima Empire, the ascended Empress Setaka, can open the doors to the tombs of all emperors and ascended beings.
The reason why Cassiopeia has cooperated with Sivir so many times, in addition to wanting to gain her trust, the most important thing is this weapon of the god warrior.
She picked up the Charikar on the ground, then turned around and gave her men a look, asking them to send the three lingering mercenaries on their way.
In the silent hall, the mercenaries let out powerless screams as three sharp metal blades cut through flesh and blood.
Cassiopeia's face was fanatical, and she walked quickly to the end of the hall, holding the middle of Charikar in both hands.
The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up. "Behind this tomb door lies a power nearly as great as that of a god... Mother, my mission is almost complete!"
Cassiopeia found the cross-shaped groove on the door and placed the cross blade in her hand, which fit perfectly.
Immediately afterwards, as the gears of the mechanism turned harshly with a squeaking sound, Charikar was swallowed by a thick door made of unknown material.
But before the tomb door opened, a python sculpture on the side of the hall began to flash purple-green magical light in its eyes.
It spit out its stone tongue and crawled silently along the wall, without attracting the attention of Cassiopeia and the Noxian guards who were concentrating on the tomb door.
Cassiopeia waited for a long time but the tomb door didn't open. She couldn't help but feel impatient. "What's going on?! Why hasn't the tomb door opened yet?"
"Don't be anxious, miss. This mausoleum has been built for thousands of years. The mechanisms inside are outdated. It's normal for the speed to be slow." Her closest guard, Ashburn, came forward and comforted her softly.
"What if it's damaged and can't open the door..." Cassiopeia frowned and looked back at her guard.
However, she saw astonishment and dullness on his face, "What's that expression?"
Asheborn, dumbfounded, raised a trembling finger and pointed behind Cassiopeia. "What, what kind of monster is this?!"
"……monster?"
She looked back in confusion and found that a giant python statue had half of its body sticking out from above the tomb door, revealing sharp stone fangs, and its forked tongue was almost licking her face.
At this moment, the guards who noticed this scene from a distance hurriedly warned: "Miss! Be careful!"
However, the python statue, with purple-green magic light flashing in its eyes, has already launched an attack.
“——Ugh uhhhhhhhh!!”
As Cassiopeia screamed miserably, the python statue's huge teeth pierced her flesh and injected purple-green venom into her body.
This was a curse magic that a serpent-headed ascender who survived the void war injected into the emperor's tomb, which he was good at, in order to prevent the emperor's tomb from being touched and defiled by villains.
The curse of mystical toxins and astral magic quickly spread throughout Cassiopeia's body, the poison corroding her flesh and the curse burning her soul.
Cassiopeia discovered with horror that her flesh and blood were falling off, and her body was changing in some unpredictable direction...
Seeing this, the guards hurriedly surrounded him and protected him in the middle.
However, after injecting poison and curse into Cassiopeia, the python statue lost its firepower and its upside-down body fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Miss!"
"Are you okay?!"
"Quick, Ashburn, take out the magic potion that you brought to remove the curse!"
"Fuck it! Stop yelling, okay? I can hear you!"
Urged by others, Ashburn hurriedly took out a palm-sized glass bottle from his bag, which was filled with bubbling gray-brown liquid.
He had just pulled out the cork when Cassiopeia, whose voice had become almost hoarse from shouting, hurriedly snatched the curse-lifting potion from his hand and poured it into her own mouth.
Unfortunately, she was not completely cursed, but also contained a secret poison.
Moreover, such a potion that can only work on ordinary curse magic cannot compete with the astral magic from heaven in the body of the god warrior.
“It’s no use! It’s no use! Aa ...
Cassiopeia could feel her fingers transforming into a hard, yellow-green chitinous shell.
Something seemed to be growing on her skin, causing her to itch and hurt so much that she couldn't bear it.
She didn't dare to scratch her skin with her hands, whose fingertips had turned into terrifying claws, and this group of stupid subordinates could not help her at all.
“Hurry! Uh ah ah…you idiots, hurry up, send me back, back to Uzeris…Ah ah ah!”
…
…
The middle section of the ancient tomb.
Li Lin and Kassadin walked carefully in the huge and extremely silent underground space, trying to make their steps as light as possible.
They had just encountered a Bakay guardian with two dog heads, and were so scared that they almost used "Flash" and "Void Walk" to escape.
Fortunately, Li Lin reacted quickly and realized that this Bakay was looking into the depths of the tomb and seemed to be in a state of daze, so he did not attack them.
Kassadin originally wanted to persuade Li Lin not to risk his life any more.
But he knew that Li Lin would definitely refuse, and judging from his expression, he even wanted to go deeper, so he sighed and didn't say anything.
