Chapter 182: The Greedy Witch Spirit

I have to say that Caitlin was taken away by Triste, how is it much safer than staying in Piltover now. m.

"Please...... Be sure to help me bring Caitlin back safely! Calloused fingers ran through it, tears smoothed out in the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

Today was supposed to be a day of joy and peace, helping the daughter to be married find a candidate, and talking about life with the young man in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the misfortune was not a one-way street, the beautiful plan of the two elders was broken, the daughter was taken away, the workshop could not go back, and the whole Picheng fell into a catastrophe.

The two elders comforted each other, put aside their worries for the time being, and followed Jeno towards the Blue Smoke Manor.

Large families will have underground shelters in their estates, and Philos is no exception.

Jeno sends the two elders to the underground vault, then realizes that something is wrong, as he doesn't see Camille and Neeko in the crowd.

"Where's Camille?" Jeno asks Da Keer if she is organizing the crowd to carry food and drinking water as much as possible into the shelter.

Anxiety and fear spill out of the busy crowd, everyone is worried about whether they have tomorrow, and there needs to be someone to speak with weight.

So the head of the house, Da Keer, appeared here, giving orders and inspiring.

Philos must be prepared for a protracted battle.

"She seems to be on the clock tower, organizing warships to launch a counterattack."

"Shipborne cannons?"

The Piltover warship moored in the harbor has a streamlined design, an ebony hull, oars on both sides and iron-wrapped rams.

And these sea lords are also equipped with many Hextech weapons, one of which is the shipboard cannon that no one has ever witnessed in use.

Jeno had to report to Camille that he was leaving Piltover, and it was better to make it clear, otherwise he would be mistaken for a deserter and removed from the family, and it would be very bad if they met in the future.

Climbing up the clock tower, he saw Camille standing by the attic window, gazing at the ancient witch spirit in the sky above the center of the city, his silver hair plucked by the wind, like a seagull spreading its wings.

Jano was about to speak, when the earth-shaking cannon rang out his voice.

Several dazzling blue lights appeared on the sea level, and the cannon sound rang out one after another at the end of the energy storage, and several pillars of blue light pierced through the sky, leaving an indelible afterimage in the eyes.

The powerful recoil of the Hextech energy cannon makes a layer of thin waves splash around the warship, this weapon is the same principle as Jano's energy pulse, that is, it directly hits the energy in the Hex's crystal, and the explosive energy is concentrated in all directions, piercing all enemies in the path, but Jeno's energy pulse can continue to radiate.

Jeno endured the blinding burning pain and watched the whole process.

Zelas was at the intersection of several pillars of light, and according to common sense, even if the Ascendant took several shots at the same time, the power of each shot was comparable to a lightning arrow from Zeroth, and even if he did not die, he would return to the sand.

But the beam of light hitting Zelas was like a water gun that had several jets of water into a sponge, and it didn't have half an effect!

The light is gone.

The witch spirit who had betrayed the Emperor was on fire, and these cannons of light were absorbed into Zelas's body, strengthening its spirit and making it burn brighter.

When Piltover's most powerful weapons can't do any harm to this evil spirit, the city is left to be slaughtered.

"No matter how sophisticated the machine is, there will be a day when it will be stopped." Camille's eyes were dark, and it was not a pleasant thing to see all that she had worked so hard to maintain destroyed.

Jeno had never seen Camille like this, even if she only inadvertently showed a little bit of despair, he would never believe that it was Camille's face that would show expression until this moment.

He thought about it, and his several backers, Gana, were weak and powerless, and Jiela couldn't reach the whip.

Maybe Piltover really can't save it.

However, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

Zelas, who was still unharmed after being bombarded, suddenly stopped throwing endless magical comets and lightning arrows.

In the direction of the warship, it stretched out its energy-surging embodied arm, as if it was making an invisible demand.

Jeno's eyes glowed with blue so he could see the direction of the energy surge.

Hex's energy is channeled by the witch energy, stripped from the crystal, and surged into Zelas's body!

In a few breaths, the warship lost all power under Jeno's gaze, the muzzle of the gun was dim, the Hex's turbine engines stopped roaring, and even the drive became a problem.

Zelas tasted the sweetness and did the same, draining the power of the remaining warships.

"I see the power that binds the universe together!" Crazy and excited voices echoed over Piltover.

As the frenzied Zelas made a gesture of embracing the sky with open arms, Camille and Jeno felt a change in their bodies at the same time, and the energy of their Hex's core was gradually being withdrawn!

It's not just them!

The whole of Piltover, from the piston power switch of the Sungate, to the engine of the Screaming Lift, to the engine of the Cantaekstadt cable car, to the Hexcube battery, and all the Hex reinforcements transplanted into the human body, were all being siphoned out of the energy by Zelas.

Jeno saw countless channels of energy, like dense cobwebs, radiating from Zelas to the whole city, and the energy flowed backwards in the channels, and he took them all into his arms.

Zelas's greed is endless, no matter how much energy he absorbs, it will never overflow, and he didn't expect that the technological energy that Piltover relies on to survive will one day become a stepping stone for evil witches.

And then it laughed arrogantly, and its intentions were also made clear: "When I absorb these magical powers, there will be nothing to control me at that time!" This time, Azir, I'm going to overthrow you without surprise! ”

The witch spirit was so absorbed in the thrill of his rapid increase in strength that he no longer had the heart to send down a natural disaster to destroy the city, and most of the citizens of Piltover were given a chance to breathe.

As for the small number of Mrs. Piltward, who have replaced vital organs with Hex augmentations, they must leave Piltover as soon as possible in order to find a chance of survival.

Jeno and Camille are among them!

"I'm going to Bilgewater, I think you can come with me, stay here, the Hex core in your body will be drained of energy sooner or later."

Jeno's plan doesn't need to be changed, but Camille must decide where to go now, and before he knows it, Camille, who is also a mentor and mother, occupies an important place in his heart.

Camille shook his head and refused.

Jeno wanted to persuade him again, but in exchange for Camille's more determined answer:

"I've given myself to the family, and now it needs me, and I'm not going anywhere."
