Chapter 330: Master of Weapons
Karn flew through the sky with Kai'Sa and witnessed the devastation of Bilgewater under the Night of the Eclipse.
With the exception of some of the towering cliffs, Bilgewater has been completely submerged in black fog.
The howls of fear came from White Harbor, where the dead were buried, and the Harbor of Blood was also hidden under oppressive clouds, the wind howled over the ruins of the Mourning Dock, the flames burned along the Butcher's Bridge, and a shimmering haze lingered over the cliffs above Grey Harbor, and some strange shadows were reflected in the pools below, sparkling and rippling.
They were supposed to stay on the ship, but a strange glow appeared in the distance on the pickpocket's square, faint as a spark in the black fog, but it made Karn feel very concerned.
The two landed on top of a rice shop and observed the situation in the square.
The mist congealed on the bounty list, and frozen tears flowed from the sea serpent's eyes.
The black mist boiled here, shaking spasmodically, something tumbling in the depths, rushing out countless screaming undead.
The strange light he saw came from a lamppost, held in the hand of a tall hooded man, who wielded the lamppost to defeat the attacking ghosts, so that from a distance it looked like a flash of fire dancing on its own.
A ghostly skull burst out of the mist, with empty eye sockets and sharp teeth.
Its jaws pulled apart to the point where no joint could do it, and a mournful hiss erupted from its throat.
The man grasped the lamppost and twisted his wrist, the top of the lampshade resting on the bridge of the skeleton's vanished nose. I saw the firelight jump suddenly, and the ghost fire dissipated its form.
By the glow of the flames, Karn saw the man's face covered with a perforated mask, and the hood covered his entire head, leaving his ears and hair unobserved.
The lampposts swept across, the splashing sparks were dragged out of the long tail of flames, and the waddling undead were swept away by the foehn and reduced to ashes.
The hooded man noticed both of them the moment he turned, but didn't make any moves, focusing on the surrounding undead.
He didn't seem to pay attention to the Night of Soul Eclipse at all, and the lamppost in his hand burned brightly, provoking the shadow of death.
"I didn't expect to meet ...... here," Karn's voice murmured from under his helmet.
"What?" Kai'Sa looked at the man, unaware of what the flame meant to them, until Karn uttered a name she had almost forgotten.
"Eternal Flame."
"Is this the Eternal Flame we're looking for? Nothing special looks like. Kai'Sa didn't feel anything special about the flame in the lamppost, whether it was color or shape, it looked like an ordinary flame.
"I don't know, but Jax is probably the only one who hits people with lampposts. Let's get closer and test his attitude. Karn jumped out of the bunk and clawed the ghost of a sailor pulling at the wall below.
A gargoyle-like thing with bat-wings blocked his path, but Kai'Sa chased after him and sent a magma bomb from his fist that exploded into pieces. Another shot hit an undead in Jax's back that had already exposed its claws, causing the opponent to look sideways.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Kai'Sa asked.
"It's a good job, but it depends on whether the other party understands it." Karn dealt with the fangs and claws of the undead, an axe hand slashing at him with a machete taller than him, unleashing a bolt of lightning to tear it apart entirely, while pondering how to get Jax to willingly surrender the Eternal Flame.
He noticed that wisps of black mist stuck to Jax like spider silk, and the tentacles of the black mist burrowed into his thick purple clothing.
Karn's mind moved, and with his mage's hand, he pulled a brazier not far away in front of him, then kicked Jax at his feet.
The plaza was made up of wooden huts that floated on the water, and Karn's kick kicked the swirling brazier between the two sheds and slid down the gap to Jax's feet.
He shouted at Jax, "The black mist is sucking your life force, you need this." ”
Jax glanced at the brazier, where the queen grass burned in the black mist and glowed violently peach, and the smoke squeezed through the thick black mist.
"Just in time." Jax stirred up the brazier with a lamppost and slammed it on!
The flipped brazier sprinkled the flaming queen grass in all directions, the black mist asided, and the undead who lurked within let out a painful scream.
Karn frowned, he didn't let Jax use it like this. His original intention was for Jax to use the queen grass as an amulet, not as a hidden weapon...... Otherwise, the vitality will be continuously sucked away by the black mist.
However, the life of a person with the eternal flame is almost infinite, and some of them will not die if they are sucked away.
He is worthy of being called a weapon master, and he wants to use everything as a weapon.
The black mist bypassed the firelight and slowly gathered again, the tentacles of the mist twitching spasmodically, and a low, long sound came from the depths, like a clarion call for the beginning of war.
The thunderous sound of iron hooves approached as the storm approached, one after the other, at least the frenzied beating drums of a Noxian legion.
The waves pushed the shack and even the ground began to tremble, and frozen tears fell from the corners of the eyes of the abandoned ship's bow statue.
"Iron Regiment, they're here again." As soon as Kai'Sa finished speaking, the silhouette of a knight appeared in the black mist.
The midnight canopy was set against a tall shadow. Man and beast fused into one in a strange form, turning into an empty demonic armor filled with endless desire to kill.
Iron hooves trampled on the burning herbs, and invisible ripples of fear spread.
……
Sarah walked briskly to the next room and slammed the door open.
There was a cracking sound, and several bullets flashed past her and burrowed into the walls of the hallway.
She immediately spun to the side to dodge, her back pressed against the wall, looking down at her lower abdomen.
A red-hot projectile pierced through the armor and burrowed into the flesh, bringing pain to the heart. In the room, the sailor was still shooting at the door with his musket, and the bullet hit the wall behind Sarah, but it didn't get through.
Thanks to the sturdy construction of Noxus, if it were replaced with the wood used for ordinary sailboats, she would have to have a few more bullet holes on her body at this point.
Because of the protection of the skin armor, the projectile did not drill deeply, and was embedded in the flesh next to the lowest rib.
But because of this, the heat diffused by the projectile can cause more pain to the sensitive nerves in the surrounding area.
Sha stretched out a finger, and the fingerprints of the fingertips turned into the status quo of a sucker.
She gritted her teeth, poked her finger into the eye, and pulled the projectile out.
The skin and armor healed and closed the wound, and she looked at the blood-stained projectile on her fingertips.
Ordinary bullets, not mixed with special resin and rue.
Used to kill, not to deal with the undead.
"Planck probably gave the thugs advance notice, and they knew I was coming." Sarah immediately realized that her actions had been exposed, that the people on the Leviathan were on guard against her, and that there were more traps waiting for her in the way ahead.
