Chapter 161: Karthus's Illusion of Death
The Iron Ridge Mountains are located to the northeast of Valoranda 6 and are bordered by Noxus to the south, protected by a natural barrier formed by a ring of mountains from east to west, protecting the plains of Piltover and Zaun, and connecting to the snowy land of Freljord to the west.
Due to its proximity to Freljord, snow falls from winter to spring.
In a cavern deep in the Iron Ridge Mountains, Karthas is chanting a spell of necromancy with his eyes closed. It took a long time for him to open his eyes and look out of the cave.
"It's a long time to wait for the night to come, so it's better to add some aftershows." Karthas muttered to himself, "Pick two people to play with me for a while, the Ye Feng who signed the shadow contract with Elise is a good choice." ”
……
In the living room of Ye Feng's villa, Caitlin took out her treasured sheepskin map and gave the others a rough overview of the specific location of the Lower Iron Ridge Mountains.
After Caitlin's description, everyone also learned a little about the Iron Ridge Mountains. They must reach the Iron Ridge Mountains by night, and not only that, but also stop the hunt before the Five Kills can hunt souls again.
It was an almost impossible task, and it would have taken them a day to reach the nearest foot of the Iron Ridge Mountains, even in a Hextech sports car.
Catelyn let out a long breath, looked at Trist and asked, "Can your teleportation magic take us together to the Iron Ridge Mountains?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Trist raised his head and smiled bitterly: "If it was really that far, I wouldn't have been caught by Officer Caitlyn last time in Pittown."
And Ye Feng thought of Diana at this time, with the strength of Diana's demigod, he should be able to open the portal to the Iron Ridge Mountain Range. But Diana won't show up until the evening, when perhaps the Five Killings' soul hunt has already begun.
Looking at everyone's gloomy faces, Ye Feng also felt that the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressed, but he did not appear a dark shadow slowly moved from the floor to his feet.
The moment the shadow arrived at Ye Feng's feet, it frantically wrapped around Ye Feng's legs, and the evil and dark aura also spread around at that moment.
Sivir, who was the most sensitive to demonic aura, was the first to react, and she immediately rushed towards Ye Feng, wanting to pull Ye Feng out of this dark shadow.
But when her hand was about to touch Ye Feng, her whole person was directly bounced out. Not only that, but before the others could react to what was going on, the shadow wrapped around Orianna beside Ye Feng with great speed.
By the time the others came back to their senses from the shadow bullet flying by Sivir, Ye Feng and Orianna had already been swallowed up by the shadows on the floor, as if they had never appeared, and disappeared out of thin air.
Fiona's face sank, she slowly walked to the place where Ye Feng was sitting before, and touched it lightly with her right hand, where Ye Feng's breath was still remaining.
Sivir, who had been bounced off earlier, slid his index finger across the corner of his mouth, wiped away the faint traces of blood, and said in a deep voice: "If I hadn't sensed the mistake, the shadow that took away Ye Feng and Oriana had the breath of the demon mentor Karthas of Sana."
Fiona looked back at Sivir and said seriously, "Are you sure?"
A hint of displeasure flashed in Sivir's eyes, and Fiona still didn't believe her judgment at this time. She opened her eyes wide and looked directly into Fiona's eyes, without the slightest hint of back-down, and said, "I'm sure, we must leave now and head to the Iron Ridge Mountain Range, whether it's to save Ye Feng and Oriana, or to stop the evil deeds of the Five Killings."
Fiona was silent, she also wanted to save Ye Feng, but Caitlyn said that it would take a day at the earliest, and Ye Feng could hold out until they arrived?
Shaking her head, Fiona immediately eliminated all the uneasy speculations in her mind, she had to believe Ye Feng.
Thinking of this, Fiona nodded in acquiescence to Xavier's point. But Caitlyn was not optimistic: "It will take us a day at the earliest, so why don't we go back to Piltover with me to prepare some Hextech weapons, and then take the airship to the Iron Ridge Mountains."
Sivir raised his head, smiled mysteriously, and said, "I have the magic mark left by Mr. Ruize, as long as I destroy the mark, he will open the portal and come to my side."
When everyone heard this, they were all moved. They didn't expect the demigod Archmage Reze to give Sivir such an amulet, and Caitlyn hugged Sivir even more excitedly.
"Great, if Mr. Ruiz makes a move, those demons won't be enough to see at all!" Caitlin said excitedly.
Xavier looked at Caitlyn with disgust, and used his hands to break Caitlyn's uncomfortable little face. Sivir said "Huh" in his mouth, "Caitlin, get out of the way, how can I summon Teacher Ruiz if you hold me?"
Caitlyn stuck her tongue out at Sivir before letting him go.
Sivir took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, concentrating on feeling the magical imprint on his body.
Her mouth continued to chant obscure magical spells, and blue magical sigils appeared around Sivir.
These different magical sigils fused together to form an unbreakable chain that wrapped around Sivir's left arm, shattering the sleeve of her left arm and imprinting it on her left arm.
Looking at the magic imprint pattern on his left arm, Sivir's face was complicated. This magical seal like a chain was not only left to her by Teacher Ruiz for self-defense, but also sealed her bloodline.
As a child, Sivir had heard from Mr. Reze that she had the blood of some of Shurima's deceased royalty in her veins. Because the power of the bloodline was too domineering, she almost died at a young age.
Just as the power of the bloodline almost devoured her as a baby, she was able to survive by appearing in Ruiz, who was traveling in the desert of Shurima, and placed a magic mark on her left arm.
On more than one occasion, Ruiz had told Sivir not to break the seal unless his life was in danger. This time, in order to save Ye Feng, she had to break the seal.
Sivir's eyes froze, and then he gritted his teeth and cast a spell. Her hands were constantly changing seals, and her mouth was muttering the spell that Ruiz had taught her.
The blue chain pattern on her left arm was also under her spell, constantly emitting a dazzling blue light, as if it would burst out at any moment.
At the same time, Sivir was suffering from the pain of the expanding power of the veins in his body after the seal was loosened. The pain seemed to tear her left arm apart.
Even so, Sivir endured the pain and continued to use the magic to break the seal.
……
Thick mist, damp muddy mud floors. Ye Feng's expression was tense, and the scene in front of him was nothing but fog or fog, and he didn't know where to go at all.
He clearly remembered that he was still in the living room with Fiona just now, but in the blink of an eye he was in this strange place.
Not to mention whether the others would enter this mist-shrouded place like him, he had to get out of it on his own now.
Ye Feng moved his right foot, and now the ground under his feet was not only muddy, but also very sticky, and it took him a small step with the boss's strength. It reminded him of the wetlands near the village of Noxus Dade, could this be that?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng denied this possibility. Dade Village is like that because of the corpse mutation, and the fog is not as thick as it is here.
Obviously, it was a place he had never set foot in. Before Ye Feng could think deeply, the fog in front of him dispersed.
The fog cleared, and he was now back at the villa. A hint of vigilance flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, and he thought of the illusion, some mages who were good at illusion would trap people in the illusion.
When he was still in the War College, Ye Feng encountered Mo Teng, who knew similar magic. It's just that unlike illusion, Mo Teng creates dreams when people are asleep, and he knows that many people died in dreams at that time.
In fact, Ye Feng himself had personally experienced the dream of Mo Teng, but he didn't remember it after he woke up. If it weren't for Ahri's soul orb, Ye Feng would have died in his dreams.
The smell of bloody blood spread from the second floor to the downstairs, and Ye Feng sniffed for a while, his brows furrowed. He slowly went upstairs nervously, and from time to time he warned himself that this was an illusion.
But the smell of blood that rushed to the tip of his nose stimulated his nerves, making him a little suspicious that this was a real thing, otherwise how could he smell blood?
The closer he got to the second floor, the more Ye Feng's heart beat violently, and he even had the idea of retreating. But just thinking about it, Ye Feng still came down to the entrance of the corridor on the second floor under the urging of curiosity.
A scene that made his heart tremble came into Ye Feng's eyes. Around the corner of the hallway, Orianna was leaning against the corner with a glazed gaze. Her dress was stained with crimson and blinding blood, and even her golden beauty and fair cheeks were covered with blood.
Oriana's body was covered with pools of blood, and against the direction of the pools of blood, Ye Feng saw five corpses that were not humanoid.
However, from the clothes on the bodies of these five dead corpses, Ye Feng still recognized these five people as Fiona, Li Qing, Trist, Sivir, and Caitlin.
For a while, Ye Feng almost couldn't bear this scene and vomited. He retched a few times, then repeated to himself, "This is an illusion...... It's a fantasy...... It's a fantasy ......"
But Ye Feng still couldn't help but walk towards Oriana, he carried the sluggish Oriana to the living room on the first floor.
After simply wiping the blood stains on Oriana's face and body, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene on the second floor was too depressing, and if he continued to stay, he was afraid that he would really believe it.
Just as Ye Feng relaxed, Oriana's right hand plunged into Ye Feng's left chest with lightning speed.
Ye Feng's eyes widened, his face distorted by the pain caused by the piercing of his left chest by Oriana.
"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ......" Ye Feng gritted his teeth fiercely and looked at Orianna beside him with a calm face. He knew that he had been tricked, and that Orianna was the prop that the illusion maker used to kill him.
The pain from the hole in his chest kept pricking his nerves, making him almost pass out. But Ye Feng still held on, he didn't want to lose consciousness like this, if he lost consciousness here, I was afraid that his body in reality would also die.
Suddenly, Ye Feng's pupils shrank, and he twitched. Because he felt like his heart had been touched by something.
"Ah...... Cough...... Cough...... Huh...... Scold...... Heh......" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and panted, he looked at his left chest, and Oriana's hand was gradually pulled out of his left chest.
When Oriana's hand was completely pulled out, Ye Feng's face turned pale and she saw that she was holding a living heart in her hand.
It turned out that his heart was tight just now because his heart was grabbed by Oriana.
At the same time as his heart was separated from his body, Ye Feng felt that his breathing was gradually becoming weaker. Not only that, but he also felt that his body temperature was dropping.
Ye Feng fell on the sand in despair, he was very cold now, so cold that he couldn't stop shivering. Although he knew it was an illusion, it was so real.
He gradually felt that he was very sleepy, and his eyelids were about to be opened. If I die here, will my real body die too? Ye Feng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.
And at the moment when Ye Feng was about to lose consciousness, the blue light of the Goddess Tears on his chest flashed and submerged into his body. The scene before him changed once again to the foot of a snow-capped mountain, and he was lying in Oriana's arms.
From time to time, Oriana's anxious voice came from his ears, and Ye Feng gasped. He praised the goddess Acacia in his heart, and if it weren't for the tears of the goddess, he might have died in that illusion.
Now, he can vaguely feel the pain of his heart being pumped out. It's just that as he walked out of the illusion, the pain disappeared to a visible degree, and the various functions of his body gradually returned to normal.
Seeing that Ye Feng in her arms was gradually recovering, Oriana cried with joy: "Great, I thought you were going to die just now."
Ye Feng's pale face smiled slightly: "It's okay, where are we now?"
Orianna searched her mind for the memories her father had instilled in her, and she was now a resemblance to the Iron Ridge Mountains. She replied, "This is the Iron Ridge Mountains."
When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes fell on this endless snow-capped mountain. Presumably, he and Orianna were targeted by some demon in the Five Killings.
Let me see which demon this illusion will be!
