Chapter 25: The Eye of Twilight

Akali tightened her belt, hoping that it would keep the soft green ninja suit in the way of the action. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's been three years since she came to the Sect of Equilibrium and became a ninja guarding the Way of Equilibrium, and of course, even earlier after receiving her mother's specialized training as a Shadow Warrior.

Shadow Fist.

An honorable title. One of the three most prominent Shadow Warriors who guard the balance.

As for the other two, one of them, known as Berserk Heart, possesses Kenan the Yodeler who is born with the power to call for thunder. Akali didn't know about the eccentric race that was born small, and she even suspected that every yodeler had magical abilities.

Kennan, for example, can control lightning and lightning. Rambo, for example, has mechanical skills that have shocked even the tech city of Piltover. And that one, the obnoxious raccoon face, what is it called, it is said that when he is in a daze, he disappears.

Who knows?

As for the last Shadow Warrior, the ninja who was taken by the Twilight Eye, he did not return to his place, because the Twilight Eye was chosen to ......

Thinking of this, Akali couldn't calm that inexplicable state of mind.

Contradictory, but extremely palpitating.

She forced herself not to think anymore, collected her mind, steadied her breathing, and then raised her head to look at the cliff in front of her.

The rising sun just hangs the shadow of the cliff.

Taking a leaf from the old locust tree on the top of the cliff is her goal today.

A pair of ninja scythes in her hands, she stepped on the edge of the shadow with her slender legs, and the graceful projection of the dark behind her connected with the shadow of the cliff from her heels.

Her calves tensed, and her body swayed into the shadows in an instant.

The Mysteries are activated!

The secret method of the Shadow Fist of the past dynasties, the magical ninjutsu of shuttling through the shadows - Phantom Sakura Killing Chaos.

She also needs to be faster, faster!

Akali gritted her teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from her forehead. Now, like a volley, she leaps through the shadow of the cliff.

Even in the shadows, Akali was still dragged by the suction from the center of the earth and fell downward.

She had to be quicker, the wind crashing against her body, and if it weren't for the nurturing mask, it would have poured straight into her mouth and nose.

The spirit tensed, and the power generated by the mind began to scream.

She finally couldn't take it anymore, the tightness made her feel like her whole body was suffocating, and she let out a long breath, and the speed of her body rising slowed.

As she reached the highest point, Akali swung her scythe and dug into the cliff in front of her.

The location......

Her eyes darkened when she touched a mark next to her.

No progress.

She gasped for air, and the ninja scythe embedded in the cliff wall hung on her body, this level of exertion she had long been accustomed to, and her strength was constantly recovering.

There was a cracking sound that suddenly stung her eardrums.

Akali stared at the source of the sound, and the surface of the stone that the shinobi was stuck in quickly burst into cracks, as if it had been weathered in an instant, and the earth collapsed.

"Damn it!"

Akali gritted her teeth, and with her other hand holding the ninja scythe, she tried to find another support point, but it was completely too late, and Akali's body, which had lost its support, fell suddenly.

"No, I can't." Akali gritted her teeth, her body was rapidly falling, her mind spinning.

His gaze was fixed on a withered pine not far away, a tree that looked like it had long since died, its lifeless branches twisting and stretching out from the crevices of the rock.

Akali's heart was crossed, and in a desperate gamble, the ninjutsu was activated again, and this shadow shuttle technique made her look as if her body flew out as soon as she stepped on the void.

Her mind was clouded, her throat became thirsty, and her consciousness became blurred in the overload of ninjutsu.

She felt as if she was dreaming, as if her feet were on a soft cotton thread, but if the thread broke, she would lose consciousness and fall into the endless abyss.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to banish the messy thoughts in the simplest way possible.

The withered pine appeared in the center of sight, and it was already close at hand. Akali threw away a pair of ninja scythes and let them reflect the sunlight and fall from mid-air.

Now she can't do that much.

She raised her arms and, with all her strength, grabbed the trunk of the tree, which had already shed most of its bark, and hung her arms on the trunk.

Her body sank suddenly, and her arms were strained, but she could still endure it, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was beating on her forehead.

The palms of my hands were wet, and I don't know what juice was rubbed on them.

Her instincts told her it wouldn't smell good. But Akali couldn't care about these things, she just wanted it to keep her palms slipping.

She exhaled and prepared to climb the dead tree.

But at this time, she suddenly felt a warm body supporting her from below.

A sense of security permeated her sense of touch, and she relaxed, her arm weakened, and she fell directly into the man's arms.

"I told you not to be too ambitious, always don't listen, how can I rest assured that I set yourself such a dangerous training?" A gentle voice rang in her ears, and along with the warm breath, it teased the sensitive nerves on her earlobes.

Cautious.

The one who hasn't returned yet, the Eye of Twilight.

The brilliance of ninjutsu enveloped their bodies and slowly fell.

"Really."

Akali said angrily, so strong as her, rarely show the anger that a girl of this age should have in front of outsiders, and even with her parents, she has never been coquettish.

But there is no exception.

"Senior brother, you always come to me, what about your own training? I can't afford to blame Master. ”

"Training, it's just a formality, what the master taught, I probably comprehended, and the rest needs to be explored by myself. Besides, it's not bad to come here to practice. The way of equilibrium, which also includes, the harmony of yin and yang? Shen laughed.

"Really, it's so unorthodox, it doesn't look like a shadow warrior at all."

"I didn't plan to be Twilight's Eyes." Shen's tone suddenly became heavy.

Akali felt that the air around her had become dull and heavy, and it seemed that if she took a breath, it would be pressed heavily into her lungs.

Shen paused, then continued, "You know what it means to be the eye of twilight. ”

She didn't speak, and the sense of contradiction in her heart became more and more intense.

"I decided to confess to Master, Akali, I want to marry you."

Akali's face turned red instantly, as if blood was pouring up all over her body, and her hands and feet became numb. However, she immediately lowered her head.

"No, Master won't agree, he's your father. He won't allow you to ruin your future, and neither will I. "Reason is stagnant in my heart, and despite the emotions that have been buried alive, I am still screaming hysterically.

"The future? Don't be stupid, sister. All I want is a future that belongs to us, two people. ”

They landed smoothly on the ground, the soft grass of the season was very pleasant to the touch, and through the shoes, the soles of the feet itched slightly.

"Caution......," Akali called to him, sounding like a subtle murmur.

He suddenly hugged her tightly, followed by a deep kiss.

"Be careful. Akali. "A calm and vicissitudes of voice.

Akali knew who the voice was.

Shen slowly let go of her and looked up at his father.

The weather-beaten ninja in front of him, but still looking old and strong, was the man who took charge of the entire Balanced Sect.

The man just said lightly, "Akali, continue your cultivation." Shen, you come with me. ”

"Yes, Master." Shen whispered obediently, but in that gaze, he was resolute and rebellious.

It seemed that if this man said something against the two of them, he would be desperate to knock him down, and then take her away and fly away.

Even if standing in front of him is his biological father, the most powerful ninja in the past.

The strongest ninja now is him, Shen.

"Die." A few steps away, the grass and the steep cliffs, hidden in the dense forest behind him like a picture scroll, Shen suddenly spoke.

"I'm not going to force you."

"Hush." Shen let out a disdainful smile, parents will always have such a statement.

"You can combine yin and yang according to your own wishes, which is also the way of balance. I just wanted to show you something. After reading it, where to go, your fate belongs to you after all. Follow me. ”

He touched the ground on his toes, and his body shot forward like an arrow off the string.

Shen followed him, and with his strength and cultivation, it was not difficult to keep up with his father, who had already passed the peak of his strength.

The two figures walked silently through the forest, and for some time, they saw wisps of green smoke rising from the distance.

The outline of the village looms from the edge of the woodland.

The master leaped and landed on the eaves of a house, and stood still, holding his hands in his hands. Caution follows.

But what unfolded before his eyes was a hell on earth.

Broken walls. Everywhere there was a ruined appearance, and people and livestock fell in pools of blood.

Wisps of green gas permeated the ruins of the village for a long time.

"Is it a miasma?"

Shen looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and his heart kept trembling. It's hard to say, whether it's fear or anger. For Ionia, which had enjoyed peace for hundreds of years, war seemed like a vain nightmare.

Father nodded, "The Iron Rider of Noxus is still here." Apparently, they released poison gas, killing most of the villagers, and then Noxian's army broke into the village, killing all the survivors. ”

Shen gritted his teeth, for him, the battlefield was so close for the first time, and it shocked all his senses.

"Noxus ......"

The father took a deep breath, and his inhalation voice trembled slightly, as if he was heartache for this miserable creature.

"Ionia deserves this calamity. When the balance is destroyed, only the three Shadow Warriors can work together to save Ionia from danger. ”

He turned, leaped again, and left the battlefield.

Cautiously and wordlessly followed.

It's getting late. My father stopped in front of his meditation room, the door of the meditation room was ajar, and he could vaguely see the room dimly lit by candles, and the yin and yang fish on the wall made people feel so gloomy for the first time.

"Since you don't want to, I won't force it on you. Shen, you are my pride. As a Father and as a Master, I will take over the place of the Twilight Eye for you. The father smiled faintly, "Equilibrium exists between all things." ”

He turned his back to him, tiptoeing a little.

This time, however, Shen grabbed him, perhaps for the first time so clearly, that the silver threads on his father's head looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

"I'll do it anyway."

"You know what it means to be the eye of twilight."

"Quit lust. Ruthless and impartial. Accept the Tao by example. There is no self, only balance. ”

He walked up the steps of the meditation room and, as if reciting, recited the admonition, an admonition that belonged only to the strongest Shadow Warrior, Twilight's Eyes, and sounded like a wail.

"You...... Can it be done? ”

Shen turned behind him, his eyes pausing at his father. "Ionia, however, needs me."

A relieved smile on the corner of his father's mouth sank into the darkness.

"I believe in you."
