Chapter 355: To add insult to injury
The head was cleaved by lightning arrows, but the giant was not dead, and let out a furious roar from the hollow core.
It waved its arms and fired a volley of icicles. Karn didn't dodge, crouched down and slapped the ground, a wall of earth rising from the snow, keeping the sharp ice picks at bay.
The giant's charge knocked the earthen wall into it, only to crash head-on into the magic he had been preparing for a long time.
His palm snapped back, and a phantom of a dragon's head suddenly appeared above his head.
Only a shocking roar was heard, and the scorching dragon's breath pillar suddenly overwhelmed the ice giant.
Akali was stunned as she watched as the giant raised his arms to shield the flames, only to be swept away by the infernal heat, eroded by the dragon's breath, and quickly melted into a puddle of snow.
The monster was destroyed, and Karn put away the tears of the goddess, leaving a cone-shaped scorched black mark on the snow, more than ten meters away.
Akali stood not far away, the aftermath of the magic making her skin feel hot.
"Is it over?" Kai'Sa asked.
Not being able to expose the Void Armor meant that she didn't do much in the whole fight, and didn't even play as much of a role as Akali. Unless she transforms Akali as well, she will not be able to use the power of her skin armor. Karn didn't seem to have that in mind, though......
And the reason why she had such a question was Akali's previous description of the monster, which made it seem that the monster would come back to life.
"It's over." Akali said, "This monster is not as powerful as the one we encountered in the Southern Valley before, he has a strong ability to regenerate, and can constantly reshape the physical body, and finally it was the Twilight Eye who went to the spiritual realm to rectify the source before destroying it." ”
Five years ago, after raiding the Temple of Equilibrium Sect of Saan Leru, the remaining Equalizers retreated to the long-abandoned temple on the eastern side of the mountain range, surrounded by mountains.
However, it was polluted by the negativity of the Navoli Brotherhood, giving birth to the furious Dryad, and then something that Akali still can't forget.
On the other hand, after listening to Akali's words, Karn began to think about how he could see the spiritual realm and make sure that the evil spirit of the ice giant still inhabited another realm.
The Eye of Twilight that Akali refers to is the head of the Sect of Equilibrium, with the ability to travel between the two realms. Like a ghost, it can disappear in front of you.
Coming back to his senses, he found Akali looking at him.
"So you're a mage?"
"What's wrong? Isn't magic very common in Ionia? Karn put his hood back on, and the air currents from the explosion lifted it down, leaving his head covered in snow.
"There are still many differences between your use of magic and those on our side, we rarely cast spells like you, but use the magic of the spiritual realm, or use the power of various spiritual things."
Akali picked up the ninja that had been slashed off the giant's head by a lightning bolt, and retracted her hand as soon as she touched her. There was static electricity on the ninja scythe, and the magic on it had not completely dissipated.
"Is that so...... this is the difference caused by the humanities, two different styles and genres, one magical and one mysterious. Karn, however, remembered a special being, and Akali knew him well.
"What about Berserk Heart Kenan? He probably uses the same type of magic as I do. ”
Akali shook her head, "That's different, he's not an Ionian, he's a yodel. ”
Karn knew that there was nothing strange about Kenan, the yodeler had been a member of the Church of Equilibrium since its inception, and was highly respected in Ionia.
Karn, who no one else knew, knew that Kenan was the closest to Akali in the congregation, caring for her more than her mother.
But even he couldn't dissuade Akali from leaving.
Speaking of magic, Karn was a little curious as to why Akali's weapons glowed with a golden glow that restrained evil spirits.
"Can someone who doesn't have talent use magic?"
"People who don't have magical powers, need to go through a medium to use magic. For example, things like scroll charms, but using them haphazardly can also cause imbalances and be dangerous. ”
Akali pulled a piece of talisman paper from her cloth bag and went to the tree that had been broken by the battle, and recited a spell that Karn couldn't understand. Then the rune paper burned to ashes, and the roots broke through the soil and wound upwards along the stump, righting the fallen trunk and joining it together.
This is one of the means of the weaver, and she will also give birth to seedlings.
Akali explained, "So I just brought some necessary rune paper, and while the magic is good, my knife is even better. ”
"What about the magic knife?"
The girl paused: "That's better." ”
"I can enchant weapons, and with enchanted weapons you can defeat these fallen spirits."
"I don't need to, it's the Eye of Twilight's job to destroy evil spirits, what I want to do is to punish the evil spirits." Akali said, "These traitors are dead so that the people can live better, this is my balance. ”
Karn felt that Akali wasn't very fond of magic, and perhaps her lack of talent for spellcasting was the reason why her mother had snubbed her? Her rebellious attitude is to prove that she can live well without magic?
"There are no people living here." Kai'Sa pointed to the ancestral hall that was even more dilapidated after the battle, and the cold wind poured into it, unscrupulous.
"The snow hasn't stopped, and if the heavy snow doesn't go, the mountain will be closed." After the appearance of the Ice Giant, the snow fell even more. The heavy snow hindered the people who came to explore, but it also made the ancestral hall even worse.
"That's a problem." Akali frowned and spat out a mouthful of hoarfrost.
"It's not a problem to get to the guest house." Kahn said.
"I don't have any money."
The snowflakes swirled and fell, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
"I can't see you freezing to death here, let's go, I'll help you pay it first, and it's not up to you to pay it back." Kai'Sa said to her.
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to pay back if you have hands and feet?" Karn helped Kai'Sa dust off the snow from her shoulders, their sleeves folded together, each other's arms thrust into each other's, fingers clasped together.
The two of them waited on the way down the mountain, and Akali looked back at the ancestral hall.
In fact, she could use a charm to repair the broken ancestral hall, but this time the movement was so loud that it was hard to guarantee that the Noxians would not check it, and it was too dangerous to continue to stay.
"I'll find a way to pay you back." Akali followed the two down the mountain, and as if she remembered something on the way, she kicked the tree on the side of the road in annoyance, and then buried her head in the snow.
Akali has no clue about making money, and she can't make a lot of money by collecting firewood in the mountains, so she can only hope that some coins can be "dropped" on the target when she punishes the traitor.
But if she takes the money, won't her behavior be soured? Turned into a robber who kills people and robs money.
But in the end, people want to live, and living is inevitable of expenses.
It's annoying!
Blame the damn Noxus!
