[You have killed Cassiopeia, Embrace of the Serpent (Hero), your level increased by 1, and you received 200 Blue Essence, 20 Orange Essence, and 2 Skill Points.]
[Congratulations! Your level has been raised to 19, and you have gained 1 skill point.]
[Remaining skill points: 18]
[Wealth: 1400 Blue Essence, 170 Orange Essence]
【……】
Huh? Why are the level gains and rewards I received from killing Cassiopeia so low this time?
Noticing the system prompt in his mind, Li Lin was suddenly confused.
The last time I killed Twitch, I at least leveled up 4 levels, which means I got 1,000 blue essences and 100 orange essences, and also got 5 skill points.
Could it be that this situation occurs because Cassiopeia has not yet escaped the level of a mortal and has not reached the strength of the future?
Or maybe, the rewards given by the system are based on the strength of the "heroes" at their peak, and have nothing to do with their current strength?
Very likely.
But this needs to be verified later to be confirmed...
Just as Li Lin was lost in thought, Kassadin's gentle call brought him back to reality: "Li Lin..."
His voice sounded hesitant, as if he was wondering whether to speak or not.
"If you have any questions, just ask directly. I don't think there is anything to hide between us." Li Lin switched to Storm mode and said at the same time.
Kassadin thought for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Just now, you said this Noxian woman was cursed by a god-warrior..."
"Oh, you mean this? According to Shurima's records, during the Darkin War, wasn't there a snake-headed Darkin that wreaked havoc on the land?"
"Well... there is such a person, a darkspawn from Zurita, who ascended into the serpent-headed form of Naganeka, skilled in the use of arcane poisons."
"This is it." Li Lin pointed to where Cassiopeia had been. "You should have been able to see that she was poisoned. Her legs are twisting into a long tail..."
Kassadin was stunned for a moment. He was so focused on being alert to the five Noxian soldiers that he didn't notice what Cassiopeia had become.
However, Li Lin had no reason to lie to himself about this, so he still believed it.
Then he raised a new question: "But what does that celestial magic refer to?"
"Magic actually comes in many varieties. For example, the 'sun' power that the Ascended Warriors are infused with by the Sun Disc refers to astral magic..."
Li Lin briefly introduced to Kassadin the types of magic in Runeterra that he knew.
Of course, some of this was something he knew from his background, but more was described in the books collected by the Gilaman family.
As they talked, they continued to walk deeper into the mausoleum, deliberately slowing down their pace.
Cassiopeia looked like this, she definitely backstabbed Sivir.
And her royal blood will awaken Azir's soul that has been dormant for three thousand years.
Li Lin will not help rescue Sivir, so Azir has to do it and put her into the Fountain of Life that can only resurrect one person.
This selfless act will allow Azir to reactivate the ritual of ascension, reshaping his form into that of an Ascended being.
But the prerequisite for all this is the opening of the last huge door leading to the ancient tomb...
Just as Li Lin and Kassadin continued to sneak in the gradually narrowing passage, the entire ancient tomb began to tremble.
The yellow sand flowed down, and the broken gravel hit Storm and their power armor, making a crisp sound.
"Damn it! What on earth did these Noxians do?!" Kassadin's heart sank. He grabbed Li Lin, who was still trying to move forward, and shouted, "This mausoleum is about to collapse. Let's run away quickly, while there's still time!"
"Don't be impatient..." Li Lin tried his best to remain calm and was not affected by the anxious Kassadin.
At this stage, the tomb door should be opening...
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard an extremely angry roar from the far depths of the tomb, which was obviously not something that could be made by humans.
Then, there was a series of excited laughter, "Hahahaha... Three thousand years, three thousand years! Renekton, Nasus, you can't lock me up!"
Li Lin and Kassadin both felt a sour taste in their mouths, which was a normal physiological reaction when someone was casting magic.
Along with the last violent tremor and loud noise from the ancient tomb, it seemed as if a huge rock fell to the ground in front.
The deep, manic laughter faded away, and the inhuman roars and growls followed suit.
The sourness in the mouths of Li Lin and Monk Kassadin, who was in shock, faded away, indicating that the two terrifying guys who escaped from the ancient tomb had left.
After recovering from his shock, Kassadin immediately guessed who the two voices belonged to. "That was... the god-warrior Renekton and the traitor Xerath?! What you said was actually true..."
"Now that they've escaped and the mausoleum has stopped shaking, the last gate should be completely open."
Li Lin glanced at Kassadin beside him and said, "There's a high probability that there won't be any more danger ahead. Let's hurry on."
…
…
Endless flames and huge heavenly magic instantly burned the body.
Pain, and then complete silence.
Unable to sense space, even the meaning of time has ceased to exist.
But an inexplicable throbbing connected by blood awakened the soul of a man that had been dormant for thousands of years from the depths of an ancient tomb.
"What on earth... happened?" His weak voice echoed in the endless darkness. "Am I... dead?"
