Chapter 65: The Ancient Battlefield
The cold temperatures prompted the two to cling to each other.
"How far can you peel off your skin now?" Keisha was used to hugging each other, used to each other's breaths echoing in their ears.
"I can peel off every part of my body individually, but I haven't tried to peel it all at the same time, so I don't know if it will work. And it's not clear how to compress it after stripping......"
At this moment, the second skin of Kane's upper body was halfway off like a straitjacket, losing support and hanging around his waist.
"You can try it here, I'll watch over you." Keisha said seriously.
"That's embarrassing, and weirdly cold." Kane shook his head again and again, now Kaisha is no longer the ignorant girl, and if he takes it off in front of her, he can't hold his face.
"Don't rush, take your time, there is still some time before we return to human society."
Kane was really not in a hurry to peel off his skin armor, because he knew that it would be sooner or later, and it would happen soon.
There is almost no bottleneck in the promotion of the Void, as long as it continues to devour, it will become stronger.
As his mental strength grew, and when he reached a certain level, he was gradually able to command the skin armor to loosen its muscles, and then compress the skin armor to make it take its original shape.
It is a piece of hard nail attached to a part of the body.
If it's just a small piece of armor, then it can be easily covered up by wearing clothes, and others will no longer see their monster side. And if you want to regain the enhancement of the Void Skin Armor, you just need to open it again.
Of course, this last piece of armor could never be peeled off, and their fate had been firmly bound to the void from the beginning of the union.
The two of them can't be pure humans anymore, but Kane didn't want to be human in the first place.
They are so weak that they can't even protect the things they love.
The Void is the greatest threat to Runeterra, but it's not just the Void.
"It's time to go." Kane opened his pocket watch and looked at it, it was past the darkest of times.
Under his control, the Void Skin Armor bit down on the skin again, and the crack returned to its original state in the intertwining of purple light, and there was not a trace of cracking.
Kane helped Keisha comb her hair, and they could sense Acacia's call, and they were heading towards her.
……
Kane had come by staring at his pocket watch, and this time it was less than a month before they arrived at the destination of their trip, the ruins of the main city of Old Acacia.
This is the most likely place for Kesha's father to appear, and if he can't be found here, Kane really doesn't know where to look for him.
Along the way, Kane encounters some massive void monsters, their eyes glowing with a terrifying glimmer in the darkness.
But they were all far away, and none of those huge silhouettes in the darkness could afford to provoke.
It is also unknown how Kesha's father crossed the obstacles to get into Acacia......
Kane came to the surface on his stomach in the dry, hard and cracked soil, where the air did not have the heat of the desert, and even if the coast was dozens of kilometers away, there was no humidity of the sea.
The sky was still dark and cloudy, and the faint lightning lit up the bruised sky with an unnatural glow.
The air is filled with a strange texture, and even a single breath can make the intestines knot, dry the lips, and make the fingertips tingle.
"The air here is unpleasant." Keisha retched as she grabbed Kane's shoulder, her stomach feeling as sick as if she had been stabbed.
She didn't vomit anything, she hadn't eaten in years.
"Don't take off your helmet." Kane issued a warning.
Everything here is impregnated with the Void, and there's one word that is closest to Kane's initial impression of this place – "a radiant wasteland"
But that's not enough, it's a thousand times more dangerous than the wasteland.
The air is full of void energy, and the weak flesh cannot be exposed to the air. At the same time, the fine scales on the surface of the skin armor also began to fluctuate, and they were all breathing in the void energy in the air.
Kane looked around and saw that many areas of the surrounding land had been dissolved into a black and hard substance, as if a large mass of void had once crept on it, dragging out corroded scorch marks.
There are many swords stuck in the earth, and after thousands of years of erosion, even the steel is covered with rust.
He saw Shurima's golden banner, and the brilliance of the Sun Disc Totem had been obscured by dust. The rattan shields of the Acacia army had dissolved, and Nimcha's scimitar was no longer sharp.
Bronze spears covered with patina were scattered around the soldiers' armor, and inside they were already an empty shell, and there was not even a single skeleton left.
Huge war machines fell from the sky, and the heavy carriages of a three-masted galleon shattered into pieces, unable to be pieced together in their original shape.
In addition, the giant soldiers held by the Celestial Warriors were also scattered all over the battlefield, even after 3,500 years, it was still so shocking, but when they searched around, they could not see any huge bones that belonged to them.
Kane saw the crumbling walls and the ruins of the city not far away, and there was no doubt that this was the main battlefield of Shurima's battle with Acacia.
He looked around again, and finally noticed something different.
A dull, black, hard substance that looks like a skin armor on its body, but is shaped like a giant insect cocoon.
They had long since cracked, and there was nothing inside. Looking at these empty shells, Kane suddenly thought of the scene of flesh being included in a ball of pale matter.
Life was dissolved, and something else was born, and that thing ...... It should have been a long time coming.
There were still many cocoons on the battlefield, and a huge abyss with purple blood appeared in the distance, still spraying a glimmer of light.
There was a strange sound faintly heard, mixed with screams, hisses, and frenzied howls, echoing from far underground.
The hernia that broke through the ground crossed the abyss, like a column of lava that suddenly solidified in midair.
The energy escaping from the abyss gave Kane reason to believe that this was the source of Acacia's corruption, which was calling them thousands of miles away, and he just watched from afar, not daring to approach it at all.
He feared that something was born because of his curiosity.
"Kane, here...... What happened? ”
Keisha was struck by the scene of the ancient battlefield withering and ruined, and she was in it, and the sense of age that swept over her face made her confused, and everywhere was filled with the breath of destruction, which was suffocating.
"In 2500 B.C., Shurima's army came to suppress the revolt of Acacia. This is a war without suspense, and it is impossible for Acacia to defeat the army led by the Celestial warriors. But halfway through the war outside the walls, the Council of Enforcement in Acacia unleashed the power of the Void in a desperate ......"
"Then they discovered that the mages of Acacia could not control this power at all, and were eventually destroyed by the power they unleashed."
"In this war, there is no winner. Perhaps, the Void became the final winner. ”
Kane patted the stunned Keisha and pushed her away from the terrible abyss and towards the city.
"It's too dangerous here, my uncle definitely won't come near here, let's go, go to the city to find it."
