SPIRIT WORLD

As Noxus prepared for a massive attack, Ariel used her unknown energy to disrupt the flow of ether from the spirit stone to his body. In that brief moment, Noxus faltered. Ariel seized the opportunity, channelling every last ounce of her strength into a single, devastating attack.

Her ancient Nightmare dagger with its angry runes pierced through Noxus's chest, the force of the blow shattering his armour and severing his connection to the spirit stone.

Noxus let out a roar of agony as his body crumbled, dissolving into the ether. With one final effort, Ariel reached out and grasped the spirit stone, not waiting for Lord Noxus to rebirth, her fingers closing around its pulsating core.

With a surge of power, the stone shattered, its energy dissipating into the air.

Hollowspire was hers.

Ariel stood victorious in the throne room, the ruins of the citadel around her. She had single-handedly crushed Hollowspire, defeated Lord Noxus, and claimed the citadel for herself.
