Jeno reached out and grabbed the statue, and the moment he touched it, he immediately felt an ancient dark magic unfold before his eyes.

Older than the Darkspawn, it existed long before the Sect of Equilibrium was founded.

And the shadow ninja method used by the robbery is just a new ninja method that was fused and innovated after he gained this power.

Note that when he first left the Equilibrium Sect and went to the battlefield, he didn't know any shadow ninja methods. Rather, it was the mystery of the shadow stream that was created after he came back to kill the bitter master who dissuaded him and completely controlled the black box.

As he felt the statue in his hand transmit his thirst for power to himself, promising to embrace the shadows to gain power, Jeno began to feel that the moment he opened the black box, he had already begun to transform, and began a long process of corruption from within.

This seductive and depraved power was all too familiar to him.

So, Jeno used his palm to crush the statue in a short moment before it could react.

The forbidden statue shattered, and the fragments turned into black smoke and vanished, leaving a ruby-clear shard in Jeno's hand.

Sure enough, another rune fragment. It's no wonder that Jeno felt a familiar runic power from his shadow magic when he confronted him.

Runic fragments were applied to the forbidden statue, and thus combined to become a medium of dark forces, a sinister presence of corrupting energy.

It is it that lures the calamity to continue to fall, and will do whatever it takes to become stronger.

It is the only one that has the ability to corrupt the source stones in the Vastaya Temple, and convert wild magic into shadow magic in large quantities.

Fortunately, he had never directly touched and occupied this rune, otherwise he would most likely have been eroded by the power of the rune and turned into a puppet.

This also explains why the Sect of Equilibrium hides this power and never activates it, because the Master of Kushu understands that this is not an evil force that ordinary humans can control. And it was under its temptation that he killed the master of bitterness.

For some reason, Jeno always felt that he was aware of his changes, and acquiesced in its development, otherwise he would not have responded decisively after Jano exposed the world runes.

And is it the kind of person who is willing to fall? Are you willing to be driven by the dark forces to become a puppet?

Jeno felt that this was unlikely, the original intention of the robbery was to exercise this force to punish and eliminate evil, and how could he be willing to become a real villain because of this?

So Jeno thinks he must have found a solution to the rune erosion.

The solution is for Cain to bring back the Scythe of the Darkspawn, and he wants to balance the two forces against each other. (This approach has been proven to work with Cain)

Zai's teaching to Kai Yin is not like a normal master-apprentice teaching, but makes him train as a goal that must be surpassed, which leads to Kai Yin's constant desire to defeat Zai.

But he didn't expect Kai Yin to take the Darkspawn Scythe for himself in order to defeat him.

Therefore, there will be a battle between master and apprentice in the future, and the victor will be able to serve as the new leader of the Shadow Stream Sect.

In fact, this is quite in line with the tradition of killing teachers created by the shadow stream.

However, now that the damage is not light, if he does not completely degenerate and embrace the shadow, there is basically no possibility of recovery, so he will lose this battle.

But Jeno thought about what he would do if he was the kind of person who was willing to sacrifice himself to defeat Noxus.

He will continue to cultivate Kai Yin, and even let him kill himself, and get the black box in the name of it.

If all goes well, when the dual power of rune shards and Darkspawn weapons combined with Cain's indelible hatred for Noxus, it will intensify Cain's hatred and fuel his inner anguish until a ruthless killing machine is created to wreak havoc on the lands of Noxus!

But it is also possible to create an annihilator and destroy the lives of people.

That's kind of scary......

And the best way is naturally to take away the crucial part of this, that is, the rune fragment in Jeno's hand.

Without the rune fragments, the Tribulation would not have been eroded, and he would not have been able to corrupt wild magic into shadow magic, carving dark tattoos into the flesh and skin of his Shadow Stream disciples.

And Kai Yin has no way to get the rune fragments, and it will be a disaster to become the kind of monster that Jeno is afraid of, and he estimates that Kai Yin, a half-human, half-dark Schrödinger, will have to maintain it for a long time.

Of course, in order to avoid tearing up the agreement after discovering that the forbidden statue in the black box was destroyed, Jeno still carefully gathered up the fragments of the statue, divided a part of the rune power to repair it, and carefully placed it back in the black box.

The part of the power he divided was enough for the shadow stream to last for a century.

After closing the black box and making sure everything was correct, Jeno teleported out of the tomb with the second rune fragment and returned to the artificial cave where he and Sindra had spent the night.

Even though he was not mentally corrupted, after experiencing the benefits of the world runes, he unconsciously embarked on the path of collecting runes.

The temptation of runes is really terrifying, and people like Xiang Zheng are still deeply affected without direct contact.

And the more this happens, the more Jeno can experience the difficulty of being a rune keeper.

Fortunately, Jeno thinks that his mentality is still relatively Buddhist, and he does not have that strong possessiveness of other runes. Just like when he broke the statue and saw the rune fragments, his first reaction was not to take it away, but after thinking about it seriously and feeling that it would be better for the shadow stream without it, he decided to take it away.

He deformed his left hand and embedded the newly acquired rune fragments in it, completely enveloping it.

He now has a red shard of Domination and a blue shard of enlightenment, but it's not yet time to test the difference.

Sindra had a dream at night and made a lovely swallowing sound, and Jeno was afraid that she would wake up and notice, so he hurriedly went into the cave that Sindela had carved and lay down.

Two days later, they slowly returned to the small village of Pubo, where they met Ahri and Niko at the inn.

"Welcome back, Niko said she missed you." Ahri greeted Jeno naturally.

"You remember the cake, right?" Jeno caught Niko, who threw herself directly into his arms, and joked happily.

"If you can't eat cheesecake, Niko will die!" Niko grimaced, not at all polite.

"I've heard that the matter between Vastaya and Shadow Flow is settled, so we're going to go to the Sea of Ghetto next, right?" Ahri still cares about the mystery of his life experience, and he wants to get it as soon as possible.

Jeno cleared the map of Ionia in his mind, and turned his gaze to the tired Sindra on the side:

"Let's take a day of rest first. According to the itinerary, we will pass the Temple of Eternity, where we will have to settle the matter of Sindra first. ”
