Chapter 152: Nine-Tailed Demon Fox: Origin
He hobbled across the battlefield, his vision beginning to blur, as if walking on a land made of cotton, squishy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The earth-shattering killing continues, as if this war will never end. Another army poured into the streets from outside the city, melee with the Noxian legions in the city.
Be...... Is it reinforcements?
But he couldn't confirm that his weak appearance now would make anyone laugh when they saw it, right?
He bypassed the battlefield and passed through the ruins of the shattered houses. The shattered tiles, the sharp edges of the broken wood, left scratches on his robes from time to time.
Actually, it was he who won. As long as you are healed by Soraka, you will not use magic during this time, and you will not worry about your life. As long as you rest for a while, you can recover.
But the War College, he didn't want to go back, he had already done everything he had to do. The wheels of the world have entered the orbit he planned again.
He didn't know what else he needed to do, it was nothing more than standing like an old man, quietly watching his grown children, and now Valoran, he no longer needed to point fingers.
Reginard smiled self-deprecatingly, and headed in the direction of the temple—in fact, he had long since lost his way, and all that was holding him in his footsteps was the energy that emanated from the light blue imprint.
The physical strength has finally reached the limit. The prostration after the drug is really uncomfortable. He has the strength to do it, but his body doesn't listen to him.
He slowly fell to the ground.
Even the strongest smell of blood and dust on the battlefield could not hide the faint fragrance. The memory seems to go back to the time when I stayed in the psychedelic forest. The corners of his mouth are hooked, but he doesn't seem to have the strength to laugh anymore.
It's Ahri.
She crouched down and lifted him up. His neck rested in the crook of her arm, and he suddenly felt quite comfortable.
"Hey," she pouted dissatisfiedly, but the pointed velvet ears on top of her head were trembling with distress. "It's tiring to look for you, so don't leave my side again."
He smiled, but his expression didn't soothe.
The power in her body, the looming black aura imposed by Sindra, seemed to be getting stronger and thicker under the catalysis of sad emotions.
He wanted to ask her, he wanted to talk, but he just coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
I'm so badly injured, what should I do?
Ahri bit her lip tightly, "Weak chicken, don't die!" Otherwise, I'll suck your spirit out of the way!" ”
"Haha! Cough...... Ahem...... I...... It's not that easy to die. ”
But that's it......
She couldn't hold back her tears, and from her delicate cheeks, he felt that his face was cold and wet, and he knew that she was crying.
"Don't cry...... I...... I'm most afraid of girls crying......" he said, his voice was soft and weak.
"You'll be fine." Ahri seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said. She swallowed, tried to suppress the sobs that were churning in her throat, sniffed, and took another deep breath.
Then, she hummed a melody, her voice soft.
The melody was all too familiar to him—even the most distant memories would suddenly awaken at some point in time by the scene they touched, and float through long light years.
- "This piece is called Aria of Perseverance." When played with magic power, it is very effective in healing wounds. How's it going, are you feeling better? ”
- "You a**, bastard, hypocrite who beats women! Stinky weak chicken! Let me go! Tie me up like this, you might as well kill me directly! If you don't let go of me, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself! Dead Weak Chickens! …… Not! Not! ”
"Hey...... Feel, do you feel better? Her voice was a little hoarse.
"Well, it's fine."
"Do you want me to sing it again?"
"No, you'll get tired of listening."
"I see, no matter how many times that big-breasted girl named Sauna plays, you won't get tired of it! You should have asked her to help you heal. ”
All he could see was the energy from Syndra, which was rapidly taking over her entire orb, the source of her magical power. The more emotionally unstable Ahri is now, the more she consumes her mana, the faster that power penetrates.
He had a way to eliminate it, but he couldn't cast magic now.
"Hey! Why are you stunned? Did I say yes? She said triumphantly, but her face couldn't hide her anger.
"Ahri, you're special." He said.
Faintly feeling the seriousness in this sentence, Ahri suddenly turned his head and stared at him, not knowing what kind of madness this guy was doing.
"Have you heard of the legend of the Sunstrider?" As if not giving her time to answer, he continued—well, Ahri hadn't heard of it. "Legend has it that there was an ancient tribe of giants who believed in the sun, so that each generation, a man who chased the sun was chosen. He must be the best at running, he must be the most determined, and he will not be stumped by the abundant aquatic plants that pass by. He dreamed of catching up with the unreachable sun, and from the moment he left the village, he chased it tirelessly. Until...... In the end, he died of exhaustion at the end of the sun-sinking western mountain. ”
Ahri was confused by his story.
"That's a person who uses his life to pursue his dreams. Since childhood, I have been burdened with such dreams and fate. However, such a person, since he has embarked on the road of chasing the sun, should not have other ties, nor should he have a self. ”
She still felt confused, but she could hear a little sadness in his words.
"I've always believed that I was that kind of day-seeker. There should be no ties, no innocent people dragged into their own cursed dreams. But even if the Sunchaser is the best runner in the world, he can't escape his heart. ”
"Ahri, I really like you." He said as if a sentence had drained all his body's strength.
She looked at him stunned, her eyes gradually widened, and then a layer of crystal water swayed in her beautiful eyes.
"Weak Chicken...... Ahri likes you so much. Although I am not a human race, I am a foreign race, but as long as you need me, I will always stay by your side. She threw herself into his arms, his white robe was no longer so elaborate and clean, it was stained with blood and sweat, and a little tattered, but it was extremely comfortable.
"So......" he swallowed, his eyes filled with the darkness that slowly spread out of Ahri's body. So I'm sorry, even if you face your heart calmly, the one who chases the sun can't escape the cursed fate after all. ”
What is he going to do? Why?
"No!" She threw herself at him and kissed him on the lips.
His body was soothed by the kiss, and everything seemed to be interrupted, and then, the magic surged in his body.
The pain that penetrated deep into his soul could not stop him.
Time is quietly frozen.
The dust in the air, the broken tears that fell between Ahri's eyelashes, the blood that flew from the wounds torn by the blades as the warriors fought each other, all stopped in mid-air strangely.
- Among the secret source magic, the most charming and mysterious time magic.
He quietly felt the kiss, the heart that belonged to the demon fox - Udir once said when he told the story of the beast spirit: "Every fox comes into the world to find love." ”
He froze the time, only to relent, because he knew too well that he would not be able to resist.
He withdrew his lips, and his palm caressed the time freezer, Ahri's white and tender cheeks, and the teardrops, the cold touch. So be it. It's the last time you indulge yourself.
Reginard sighed.
The orb that had been soaked in deep black suddenly shattered under his magic infusion, and the energy in it quickly volatilized and escaped, along with Sindra's dark, unwilling energy, leaving only a pile of crystal dust scattered on the ground.
But in doing so, Ahri's source of magic will be cut off, and she will not be able to sustain herself.
That's her dream. What power does he have to deprive others of their dreams? Even if it's for salvation.
He lowered his head, the pain of the drug's effects causing a moment of stillness to pass. Reginard clutched his chest, struggling to control time. Blood was already pouring from the corners of his mouth and under his eyes.
There is still the most important step.
The magic power condensed into a clock above Ahri's body, and the magic light shone in his hands, so that the still hour and minute hands began to rotate rapidly in retrograde, returning to the direction they had not yet acquainted. Blood kept pouring out of his body, and Reginald's body couldn't help but tremble and shake, but he managed to keep the spell alive.
"Forget me. My mission has been accomplished, but your life has just begun, and you should not grieve for me. Forget about me, like this...... That's how you can start a new life. ”
The hands of the magic clock stopped with the click of gears, then disappeared with a pop.
Time passed, and he choked and coughed, and spat out the blood in a big gulp.
All that's left is left, the last step.
His life essence, slowly wrapped in magical power, flowed out of his body and poured into the pile of orb fragments. The strange material that made up the orb began to slowly assemble and condense into the original shape of the orb, which looked exactly the same as before.
It's just that there is no longer the deep obsession with power that Sindra subtly incorporated when she created it.
And once this orb was formed, it began to instinctively trace back to its origins and pull the injected spirit power hard. He could feel that his life force was running away.
The expression on his face was smiling.
Originally, he also used magic, and the side effects of the drug would also burst the meridians of his whole body not long after, and he would rather die in her hands.
After all, this affection, what he gave her, was too little, too little.
- "Hey, if I'm really going to die, I'll give you all these spirits before I die." ”
- "Woo, I don't want ......"
The memory wrapped around the atrium, and suddenly, there was a cramp.
His vision slowly blurred, and he saw Ahri kneeling beside him, looking at him with clear and puzzled eyes. His time secret method had indeed erased her memory.
Now he was just a strange human about to die in front of her.
Her vision blurred even more, and the power in the orb absorbed more and more richly, slowly filling her body.
Want...... Live happily.
Before his eyes fell into darkness, he clearly saw that Ahri's big misty eyes flashed away...... Is it sadness?
……
Under the attack of the dreadnought vanguard of Demacia, Noxus was forced to stop the war and withdraw its already scattered army.
In the same year, Ionia joined the War College. In accordance with the principles of the War College, the member states will compete with each other in the shadow of a hero who will not hurt anyone, and instead of war, the national interests will be adjudicated, and in the event of war, they should be protected by the armies of all member states.
The following year, Noxus joined the War College with its allied alliance of Zuan, the smoky nation of tech geeks, to fight for Noxus' interests on the continent.
Of course, everyone knows that this is just a delaying tactic for the new general Svein to recuperate.
During an intelligence mission to a barbarian diplomat in Freljord, Cassiopeia swore a serpentine sword to keep it a secret, and when she confided the information she had obtained to the military headquarters, she suddenly turned into a monster with a human head and a snake body.
Irelia became the leader of the Ionian Guardians, on a par with Zeroth, but far more famous than her brother, so much so that it became a constant teasing for Zeroth.
And Irelia's opponent who fought to the death in Sun Hunting Town and saved each other, the white-haired female swordsman Raven who was confused about the way of Noxus. The two finally met on the battlefield in the Land of Justice to continue their unfinished duel.
As for Ahri......
"Unlike the other foxes in the southern jungles of Ionia, I have always felt that I have an indescribable, inexplicable connection to the wizarding world, and my dream of becoming human one day seems unattainable until one day...... What happened on the battlefield of humanity changed me.
"It was a tragic sight. On the battlefield, there are soldiers lying on the ground, either seriously wounded or dead. I was attracted to one of them. That's ......"
Her head was starting to ache. The nervousness made her mouth dry, and the scene was a bit like an interrogation, and the War College councillor at the long table looked up at her from time to time, and took notes from time to time—
Who knows what was written down? A good impression, or a bad impression? Or is it a merciless verdict?
Ezreal, the blonde boy who had brought her to the War College, put his warm palm on her shoulder, hoping for her reassurance.
"It was a man in a robe whose life was passing by at a time. I approached him and felt something deep inside me being stimulated. His life spirit was poured into my body through invisible magical bonds.
"It was intoxicating and irresistible. As the feeling wore off, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was no longer what I used to be—my white fur had faded, and my body was tall and natural, looking ...... Like the humans who fell beside me. ”
She took a deep breath, the headache preventing her from remembering more details of that day.
"What's your name, then?"
The rustling of records stopped suddenly, and at the end of the long table, the clerk of the War College Council looked up and asked.
She was stunned by the question, and then searched for the name in her mind.
"Ahri."
Familiar, but at the moment there is a jerky feeling, as if somewhere, interrupted in my mind. She subconsciously bit her lip, unable to explain the feeling.
But this name, just the first time I said it, there seemed to be a warm meaning between my lips and teeth.
