Chapitre 237: -232- Fury of the north
"Why are you letting Vi and the Winter's Claw clash? Weren't you supposed to negotiate with them and then solve the Demacian and guarding Hex Gate issues?"
Linwin stood on the balcony. The humid summer was irritating, the combination of heat and humidity akin to a sauna. But Linwin could summon refreshing cool winds.
Taliyah, with her eyes squinting, enjoyed the cool breeze her master conjured. She reclined comfortably, feeling at ease, her body swaying with relaxation.
"Kai'Sa, you don't understand."
Sitting on a chair, Linwin closed his eyes. Everything that happened in Zaun made Linwin understand one thing.
Opening his eyes, Linwin smiled and said, "Those on the defensive can't negotiate; we need to give the enemy a good hard slap first."
The certain someone who was cooking couldn't understand, wanting to interject but afraid the comfortable breeze would stop.
Of course, Shurimans also feared the heat, especially in the stuffiness of underground coastal-like place in Zaun.
Heat and humidity, humidity would be more uncomfortable.
Unable to breathe under the intense heat, drenched in sweat, just thinking about it made one feel uncomfortable.
So, to keep the cool breeze blowing, Kai'Sa muttered softly, "Just keep pretending...."

"Secure the high ground, stop them, don't let them pass!"
Skite shouted loudly, his Hextech rifle emitting blue light downward, illuminating the area. He added, "Don't charge up, avoid vital spots, prevent unnecessary killing!"
Three instructions issued, and Skite fired his own gun.
A shot was fired, a blue light sphere the size of a peanut shot out, then with a "hiss," it penetrated the snow.
Skite intentionally missed, but even so, the man walking in the snow was startled.
"Warmother, we're under attack!"
"Damn it, Ashe! She must have leaked the information!" The massive boar ignored the trees in its path, Sejuani riding Bristle, wielding her chains, charged straight ahead.
Her beast's head slammed into a pine tree, breaking it in half, with half landing on its tusks. The roar of a woman echoed in the snow, "This weapon, it's from the south!"
"Winter's Claw! Break through them!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the Warmother's command, several true ice weapons appeared, and the iceborn soldiers advanced through the snow.
On the ice mountain, a woman holding a sniper rifle stood straight, squinting ahead.
After a while, she lifted her leg and kicked the woman crouching in front of her. Caitlyn spoke, "Found her, about two kilometers away. She's riding that boar, very fast. Even in this terrain, at most a minute and a half, she'll be below us."
"A boar? Is she really fighting on a boar as Linwin said?" Vi, listening to Caitlyn, showed a wry expression and stood up, placing her huge hand on her head, looking down. "What kind of woman rides a boar? Wouldn't that look ridiculous?"
Caitlyn responded softly, "No, quite the opposite of what you think. She looks imposing."
"Even if she's imposing, she's still riding a pig. I've seen pigs before." Vi shrugged, indifferent.
But after a few seconds, Vi's ears clearly heard the roar of beasts, the agonizing screams of the frozen earth, and the snow making crackling sounds.
Vi looked at the giant beast under the light, her mouth twitching, turning to Caitlyn, she questioned, "You call this thing a boar?"
Caitlyn lowered her rifle, feeling a bit uneasy inside, but knowing she wasn't the one dealing with her, Caitlyn breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing such a creature, saying she wasn't afraid was impossible.
Humans have an innate fear of large creatures.
Caitlyn was no exception.
Standing at three to four meters tall, the giant beast was wide and tall, its limbs treading on the snow, leaving footprints the size of two human heads. It emitted heat all over, and atop the mist, the woman wearing a helmet with broken horns saw Vi and Caitlyn above.
"Bristle!"
Sejuani growled softly, and her life companion understood her meaning.
The beast's head turned, and the half of the pine tree on its tusk was suddenly thrown upward, like a mammoth, with immense force. The half pine tree accurately rushed toward Vi and Caitlyn's position, its strength resembling a catapult.
"Damn it!" Vi exclaimed.
Caitlyn quickly raised her head backward and immediately squatted down to protect herself.
She didn't want her face scratched by wood chips.
Knowing Vi so well, Caitlyn knew what impulsive actions this woman would take.
Sure enough, just as Caitlyn thought, Vi leaped high into the air, directly rushing towards the incoming pine tree, loudly shouting, "Come!"
In mid-air, Vi raised her right fist high, and the Atlas gauntlet emitted a loud buzzing sound. The engine started in an instant, and the energy meter on the gauntlet was maxed out. Vi widened her eyes, and with a punch.
"Ha!"
"Boom!"
Like crushed stones, large chunks of wood splattered everywhere. Caitlyn's idea was not wrong, but maybe she didn't need to be so afraid? She had a shield on her body.
But Vi was thrown backward by the tremendous impact, flying out and crashing into the snow.
Under the thick snow, Vi's situation couldn't be seen clearly.
"So you seek death."
Sejuani lifted her head coldly, her hand raised forward, and the shackle quietly aimed ahead. She looked at Caitlyn, who had poked her head out above, and saw the men holding strange weapons above Caitlyn.
Upon seeing their strange weapons and attire, Sejuani frowned inwardly.
These attackers were indeed Southerners! Only Southerners dressed like that and wielded such weapons.
But they didn't seem like Demacians. Sejuani had raided Demacians many times, and she knew one thing: Demacians never crossed borders. They would resist but not trespass.
As for Noxians? They didn't seem like Noxians either.
Taking a deep breath, Sejuani raised her shackle-like weapon and swung her true ice weapon, surrounded by icy magic.
"Southerners!"
"I am Sejuani, Warmother of the Winter's Claw! I am the Fury of the North! The chains of the North Wind!"
The shackles danced faster, and cold air spread from Sejuani's weapon in all directions. Behind her, the true ice warriors appeared behind Bristle. These warriors showed fierceness in their eyes, many with thumb-sized wounds oozing blood, yet they paid no heed.
"You can't stop me!"
As the shackles moved faster, Sejuani's arms grew increasingly sore, and the chill around intensified. With a furious shout, she flung the shackle forward.
"Clang!!!"
A huge ice block appeared like a shackle, flying towards the Southerners on the ice mountain.
Behind Sejuani, the iceborn warriors roared excitedly.
This was the Fury of the North!
But a figure suddenly leaped into the air, accompanied by a wave of heat that burned through the snowstorm—it was Vi.
"Vault Breaker!"
The atlas gauntlet ignited with blue flames as several copper pipes at the end spewed out flames, propelling Vi high into the air.
Like a blazing sun, like a meteor, Vi soared towards the massive ice block.
Towards the ice block that froze the surrounding air solid.
"Break!"
"Boom!"
A crisp sound rang out as the ice was knocked back, crashing beside Bristle. The huge ice block was only sent flying but remained undamaged, yet even so, surprise flashed in Sejuani's eyes.
The one who deflected the ice was the woman Sejuani thought was dead, thrown away by Bristle using a pine tree earlier.
The hat on her head was nowhere to be seen, her pink hair scattered in the air. She wasn't dead, and the true ice's power hadn't affected her.
She even looked better.
"Come on, Sejuani, let's have a second round."
Vi stood in place, gracefully jumping up, relaxing her body. She gritted her teeth secretly.
Cold.... It was so cold!
Her shield's energy had dropped by almost eighty percent in an instant!
This shocked Vi. A block of ice was just a block of ice, yet its power was higher than the weapons Powder personally made?
"You're fine?"
Compared to Vi's shock, Sejuani was even more astonished!
That was true ice!
That was something that would freeze anything to death upon contact unless you're a iceborn!
"I told you, Sejuani, let's have a second round."
Vi raised her eyebrows provocatively, raising both her fists, her left hand wide open, and her right hand clenched.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sound of steel striking, Vi taunted Sejuani.
Taking strides, quickly advancing, Vi viciously opened her mouth, saying, "Someone wants me to punch your face first."
"Arrogant fool!"
Sejuani put away her surprise, raising her head indifferently.
"Who do you think I am?"
