Chapter 863: Rune Mage
Jeno strode towards the stranger, his boot making a sound as he hit a branch.
But the man did not look back, as if even if he knew that his arrival could not break the memory of this time.
This strange man is the rune mage Ruiz, who is on a mission to collect runes to protect the world, and the master of Keegan Noho, who was killed by Jeno.
As it should be, Ruiz has been dealing with runes for thousands of years, and he has long been familiar with the breath of runes, maybe he already knew that he was coming. Jeno thought.
"Maybe I should put him in a more decent grave." Jeno spoke in a tone of old friends reuniting, without the slightest jerky feeling of meeting for the first time.
"No, he doesn't need to be remembered, he's suitable for obscurity." Ruiz lowered his head and made a hoarse and vicissitudes sound.
"I killed him, don't you want to say something?"
Even though Jeno confessed to the killing, Ryze didn't feel uncool or angry because of it. It was as if the apprentice's pain had finally been relieved and he had gone to the best destination, and he was relieved.
"There's a purity in Keegan's savage thinking that makes me reluctant to do it myself, and maybe I have to thank you for doing it for me."
"No thanks, it's not a glorious thing." Jano pouted and walked over to Ryze. "I know you, and many people have told me about your existence. Sarah, Saana, Nasus, etc. ......"
"Keegan is my apprentice, but he doesn't have a lot of talent for learning magic. Miserable and dull fellow, I taught him meditation methods that he always couldn't learn. β
"Magic as air? Using the body as a container? Think of releasing magic as breathing? And not in making air? Jeno smiled: "I understand everything, but it's another thing to do, instinct is difficult to teach others, I haven't learned a few arcane magic until now, but it's still okay to make a fire." β
Remembering the time he begged Jana to teach him how to use magic, Jeno was amused.
The laughter seemed to catch Rhyze's attention, and he finally turned to look at Jano. He stroked his gray beard and looked at the latter carefully, and then spoke.
"Special guy, you have a lot of understanding, but you don't have a good teacher, and you've only been in magic for two years, so you have a lot to offer. Just ......"
"Just what?" Jeno frowned.
"It's just that you've already touched the source of magic, and I'm afraid you don't want to learn magic from scratch anymore." Ruiz closed his eyes.
In addition to magical talents, there is also an arcane magic that can be learned systematically. But Jeno was too late, or he was too short on time to calm down and study.
In Reze's case, he thinks that Jano is greedy for the power of the world's runes and has despised arcane magic.
Jeno thought seriously about Ruiz's warning, and then replied to him: "Ruize, there is a limit to human power. β
It's time to take sides, and sooner or later there will be such a day between him and Ryze.
"Keegan once asked me, what is the source of magic? He can't learn to meditate, and he always wants to change ways to control magic. At this point, Ruiz's expression changed. His calm was no longer a form of peace, but a restraint of something.
"That must be a terrible force." The source of the magic of the Runeteres Land is naturally the World Rune. When Ryze took the initiative to mention the World Rune, the atmosphere became tense.
"And then he was engulfed in flames." Ruiz opened his eyes.
His eyes were colder than all the strong winds of Freljord. There is compassion and appreciation, but there is also a touch of sickly fear.
"But what does that have to do with me? The flames didn't consume me, and my brain was still working. β
Jeno took out the rune cornerstone from his hand, and the moment the world rune appeared, it was like a magnet that attracted Ruiz's gaze. His masseter muscles trembled, and his beard was perverse, as if every cell in his body was shouting - don't move the runes!
"If you think so, you think you're going to get away with it, you're wrong. It isolates the mountains and burns the sky, but there's more to the horror of the world's runes than that, and you don't know it, because by the time you do, it's too late. β
Along with the rage, there were sigils that gradually lit up on the blue-purple skin, and Ruiz's body had been eroded by arcane energy, making him powerful and weird, and also distorting and lengthening his lifespan, allowing him to live for thousands of years.
"How do you know I don't? It has the power to destroy your hometown of Noxi, and to control your mentor, your friends, and your apprentices, forcing you to kill them one by one. β
"Then why do you knowingly! Just because these things didn't happen to you? Learn to let go, or one day you'll make the same mistakes again! Rhyz roared, his hands clenched into claws, and arcane lightning crackled in his hands, ready to burst out at any moment.
"Because I know something you don't know! These are nothing compared to the threat of the Void! Under Acacia, there are countless void creations that could break through the ground at any moment and harm the human world; And in the bottomless Wailing Abyss of Freljord, the passage to the Void is connected, and although the powerful watcher is sealed, even the supposedly never-melting Zhen Ice cannot resist its erosion! β
Jeno put on a posture of wanting to fight, because he knew that Ruiz would never be able to defeat him with runes.
It was hard for him to say if Ruiz was carrying the World Rune on his body, but even if he did, it was only a fragment, because the cornerstones were all in the Forbidden Demon Vault. What's more, even if he brought it, he was sure that Ruiz would not dare to use it.
Controlling emotions is a must in the cultivation of magic, and although Ruiz is furious, he still controls his hands steadily.
Jeno's description of the Void reminded him of the last time he found the Rune Cornerstone, where he snatched the red Rune Cornerstone from a one-eyed Void Creation with many tentacles in an underground ruin.
The void is approaching!
"You also know that the power of runes is growing day by day, and if you leave it alone, something will happen sooner or later. No matter how big the Forbidden Demon Stone Forest is, sooner or later it will be filled with magic. When the time comes, do you want to see all of Demacia blown up into the sky? β
Jeno's words seemed to have magical powers, again and again evoking those terrible memories buried deep in Ruize's heartβthe waves of magic surging in his home city, crushing all the people, houses, and even the land he came into contact with, adding a huge hole to the world, and nothing was spared, and the ocean, which was originally far away from the day's journey, rushed in an instant and drowned all the memories.
