Chapter 13: Goodbye
(Original Chapter 57)
Akali walked quietly beside the tall man beside her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yes, he is Shen, her senior brother, and the man in her heart.
But now, she can only call him the man named Shen who walks beside her.
Since this retreat, it seems that Shen has changed as a different person. He put on the mask that belonged to Twilight's Eye, an iron mask that shone with a silvery white cold light.
It doesn't seem to be warm at all.
This is the core of the Eye of Twilight, the three Shadow Warriors of the Sect of Balance.
Refrain from****. Ruthless and impartial. Accept the Tao by example. There is no more self, only equilibrium-
This is the admonition of the previous Twilight Eyes.
She witnessed his own ritual of takanu, the ritual of the Eye of Twilight. Seeing Shen in front of the elders' chair, watching his father being tortured, he would be disqualified at once if he had any distractions—the kind of human emotion.
But he didn't even blink.
He can't have any personal feelings.
Because he is the way of heaven, he is balanced, and he is a god who walks in the world. He is always ruthless and selfless, and everything is ruled by balance—this is the crowning glory of the Balance Sect, the Eye of Twilight.
He finally got his wish.
That dream is also the dream that his family and ancestors have hoped to realize for generations.
She wanted to use this excuse to numb herself, but she couldn't, although she said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, in fact, she was more disappointed.
He was given the title of Eye of Twilight, as well as this steel mask.
From then on, he was no longer cautious.
"Akali." Akali heard Shina's familiar voice call her, but the next words were all cold, slowly cooling the temperature in her heart. "How far is Noxus from here?"
"The Noxian Legion has been marching north, and the Sect's base has not been disturbed by them. Now the main army of Noxus should be near the town of Hunter. ”
"They have to be stopped. We set out on the same day, and the thief will be captured first. Shen said, "This is the disaster of Ionia, even if it costs lives, this is our duty. ”
"Are you going to ...... Directly challenge the Grand General himself of Noxus? Akali was almost shocked by his simple but bold plan.
But that's Du Kekao.
"That's right. Only you, me, Kenan, and the other balanced ninjas pinned down Noxus' army so that we could face Du Kekao directly. ”
"Do you want to use that?" Akali said, her face solemn.
"Yes, the secret method of the three Shadow Warriors working together. Even against Du Kekao, we have at least half the chance. Shen said, the cold mask barely made Akali unable to see any expression, but even without this mask, I am afraid that there would be no expression.
"If we fail...... he continued, "we will be martyred." When all three Shadow Warriors are killed and Ionia is out of balance, the Guardian Dragon will reappear in the world to save Ionia from danger. ”
"Hmm." Akali's eyes flickered, and she bowed slightly.
Sure enough, it is always the most perfect, the coldest, and the most appropriate decision.
Flawless, seamless, this plan is perfect enough, I can't say what's wrong, but I always feel that there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.
On the hillside in the distance, there seemed to be a faint figure of a woman in a black robe, no, the robe was not so much black as a mysterious deep purple, purple to the deepest part, a shadow that made people breathless.
"That's ......," Shen muttered, looking in that direction. The energy was dark and powerful.
The comers are not good.
Cautiously perceiving the abnormal movement of energy around him, the double swords crossed behind his back were already drawn in his hand, and the ninja's narrow sword slashed through the sheath with a sharp sound.
"Check it out." Move your legs cautiously, and your body leaps and flies. "Flare Kennan to be informed."
He said without looking back, Twilight's words only once. It is always an unquestionable command, the calmest judgment...... Is it the same for her?
She looked at the running figure, and realized that she should not have time to grieve now, she pulled a flare, and the magic missile rose into the air like a long-suppressed hydrogen balloon.
Then, she stepped away from her slender legs and chased after her.
Cautiously chasing the dark energy, like a wolf tracking its prey with its breath. The energy in the mysterious woman's body seemed to be extraordinarily rich, so rich that it almost exceeded the limit of what the human body could carry, and everywhere she walked, she would leave a faint aura of energy.
The traces of energy stretched into a forest, and the shadow of this dense forest was more than enough. Before entering the forest, Shen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, thinking about whether to wait for Kenan before making a pursuit.
But this forest is very familiar to him, the Forest of Trials, the place where every ninja has been tested, now that he thinks about it, it is just some fierce beasts.
There is a difference of 108,000 miles from a truly strong enemy.
Besides, Kennan's unique thunder and lightning ninjutsu is not difficult to catch up with them. Shen took a breath and ran into the forest.
There was a dead silence in the jungle.
This is the coercion of energy. Disperse the nearby birds and beasts.
The energy he was tracking was also scattered in chaos here, blurring and not knowing the direction.
Looks like it's nearby.
He made a gesture to slow down and move quietly. Two figures, Akali in a soft green ninja suit, and Shin in a full metal armor, slowly walked through the woodland, their eyes roaming the trees and their shadows, searching for nearby hostility.
The grass and trees shook, and a dark orb suddenly flew out from between the trunks of the trees.
"Be careful!"
Without waiting for Akali to utter these two words, he took a few steps back with caution and agility, and the strange orb landed on the ground in front of his toes, smashing a shallow crater.
This orb is really bizarre. Tighten your pupils carefully. It stands to reason that orb-type magic will explode upon impact, which is also the principle of magicians using orbs to attack.
However, the magic ball in front of him actually fell to the ground so smoothly.
In the dark orb, the deep energy swayed, like a dark, bottomless pool. The violently shaking shadow made people's hearts tumble uneasy, like a dangerous time bomb.
The mysterious woman slowly emerged from the dense forest. Raise your hand cautiously and throw a sharp shuriken.
The woman didn't move, but slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and the iron-cast secret weapon melted, and the molten iron was directly swallowed by a cloud of dark energy.
She had silver hair, her body suspended in mid-air, and several of the same dark orbs surrounded her body, as if pulled by gravity, surrounding her orbiting nebula.
"Who are you?" Shen stared at the woman in front of him.
Woman with silver white hair. Akali suddenly remembered the girl from years ago, with silver-white hair, and the same stoic and lonely eyes as Zai, but in the eyes of the woman in front of her, there was an unstoppable arrogance and a hidden, hysterical madness.
"How dare you speak to me in such a tone?" There was a trace of dissatisfaction in the woman's voice, and the dark magic ball that had just landed suddenly bounced up and hit Shen's body.
The force pressed his body against the trunk of the tree, unable to move.
"Senior brother!" Akali gritted her teeth in hatred.
The strange woman hurt him.
Akali stretched her legs and leaped sharply, the shadow shuttle method was activated, the shadow seemed to tear apart from the middle, and at the end of the front, as if in the direction of the light that appeared after passing through a long tunnel, she saw the woman's proud face.
The shadows of the surrounding chaos suddenly distorted.
Akali had been cultivating the secret meaning of this shadow shuttle for many years, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
The shadows on both sides rolled and tumbled, as if the calm sea had suddenly swelled up against the current, stirring up a terrible vortex! Akali desperately tried to break free from the chaotic energy, but the shadow wrapped around her body.
The high-speed shuttle was forcibly stopped, and Akali saw herself fall at the woman's feet, oppressed by a cloud of dark energy. Although the other party was half-floating in the air and did not step on her face with that shoe, it was also a shame.
This woman......
Not only the energy, but also her own shadow can be completely controlled - she really has control over everything that belongs to her. Akali took a deep breath. This level is nothing short of a monster.
"What a rude guy." The woman glanced at the two of them in disgust. "My name is Sindra, and you may call me as you, Dark Head."
"It turned out to be you. The girl who once caused a sensation in Ionia was still grabbed by my own hands. Unexpectedly, the elders had a good heart for a while, and they left such a curse. Shen said coldly, "Ah......hhh
Shen let out a low snort, interrupting his original words, because the energy that was oppressing him suddenly became a level stronger.
Sure enough, it was her, Sindra.
Akali gritted her teeth gently.
"I'm here to eradicate the Equilibrium Sect." Sindra said lightly.
"You're not going to get away with it!" Akali struggled to break free from the shadows of her restraining body and shouted to Sindra.
"It's too late." Sindra smiled, "The doom has come. That person, the owner of the Shadow Stream, was the one I told him back then, and the ruined temple finally led him to this path of power. I'm telling you everything now, because you can't change a single bit. ”
Her figure slowly disappeared into the air, disappearing into the sky and the earth. With this, all the energy and coercion she brought with her disappeared.
"Caution! Akali! They heard a loud roar of thunder, "No...... Oh no! ”
A short stature, a one-piece ninja suit, slowly appeared in the galloping electric balls - Kenan of the Heart of Fury.
"What happened?" Shen hurriedly asked, the woman's words for no reason, but made him panic for no reason.
"It's a robbery...... Disaster...... That Shadow Ninja...... Ninja expelled by Master...... He...... He killed the master......"
It's an old adversary.
The ninja organization that betrayed the Way of Equilibrium, the organization that he established after defecting with the shadow ninjutsu he obtained from the scrolls in the ruined temple.
"Shadow Stream."
Shen silently recited the ominous name in his mind.
