The City Is My Hunting Ground

Chapter 28: To the Cave of the Lion

Break them to break their shackles

"It will happen very soon."

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"I am the Devourer of worlds. I am the most powerful being in any known realm. Against me is a bunch of life-forms so low, that they still believe in justice, good, and bad. None of those things exists. Only thing for a creature to do is just live and enjoy it. For their whole, useless life."

"What happens after that life is over?"

"It continues somewhere else. Apparently in God's realm."

"Most of us scientists do not believe in such things."

"That is not relevant. If a being has so much power, why it wouldn't use its powers for enjoyment of everybody?"

"Why don't you?"

"This world, this life, both are just temporal. Nothing I do here has any effect to me after I am gone."

"So be it. See you."

"Not for a long time, I hope."

...

"Can everyone see me now?" Tristana shouted to the crowd.

They hadn't calculated their numbers, but Ziggs had guessed it was almost 300. Many normal Zaunites had wanted to join the assault. Urgot was everyone's enemy.

"My name is Tristana, and I shall lead the you to the final fight towards that monster!"

The crowd shouted in excitement.

Rumble couldn't have been more proud after Tristana had told she wanted to speak from his robot. He was sitting on the flamethrower while Tristana stood on the chair.

"I hope everyone is armed and armoured. If you need gas masks, go to see Viktor after this speech is over. But first, some strategical info. I know many of us, including me, don't like these things, but the truth is that startegy brings victory!"

Teemo threw the plan to Tristana in form of a paper plane. She catched it.

"Alright, this won't take long..."

...

They split into three groups. The first one would break the main gate open and destroy everything in the first rooms. (They had gotten the floor plan of the Dredge from another fleeing Dreadnought) The second one would split into smaller groups and try to guard the exits and free possible prisoners.

The yordles were the third group which would try to locate Urgot and stop the summoning.

Warwick stayed away from the plan. He was already on his way to the Dredge, going to finally challenge Urgot.

"Alright, let's go!"

...

"Sjaz eo jel ukine, xah vog nis. Ndo ka wo erii."

It was still an hour to the completion of the summoning, but Urgot was already chanting the first words. Such a big ritual required many phases, including a pause for 40 minutes.

This is a test of strength to everyone, including me. A total chaos, the natural condition will finally come. Only the strong shall remain.

"Do you see me, spirits of darkness? Do you hear the voice of the one who has the mark of untouchable? I am not asking your help, I am ordering you. Release the one who was sealed away from this world before existance of time and space. Remove the chains of the Devourer of worlds, grant the gift of oblivion to us! Send the beast of apocalypse here once more, release Cho'Gath!"

The pause has started. I can now check no one is here.

He walked the alleys of his fortress with a smile on his face. The natural order would finally return, and the chains of civilization and order would disappear. He was an angel sent to help the humanity.

No. He had became one by his own deeds. He was the strongest.

...

All yordles sat on various places on Rumble's robot. Rumble's face was red like a rose since Tristana was sitting right next to him. Teemo sat on the flamethrower now, and Ziggs had put a platform of some kind behind the chair. They were on their way to Dredge, inside a large sewer pipe.

"This looks like a place where Twitch could live", Teemo noted. The tunnel was full of chewed bones and poison barrels.

"This propably is. He may be swimming in that crap right below us...", Ziggs stated back. Rumble shivered.

"Let's make a strict rule. No one dies, okay?" Tristana asked with her bossy tone.

"Yes, ma'am!"
