Chapter 280: Zuan's Way (Warwick's Master and Apprentice)

Zaun, a controversial city-state allied with Noxus, has a considerable number of people fighting for Zuan's freedom and a certain faith, and there are also a considerable number of people who are trying to use the tree of Noxus to rise to the top of power and force by some shady means.

And as long as these people are real and powerful, most of them have obtained the fame, power, and wealth they want, and some of them have relied on some unseemly means to obtain the prestige that ordinary people struggle for a lifetime.

Warwick and Sinjid are two of the most typical of these people.

Sinjid is a descendant of Zuan's highly respected alchemy family. Even at a young age, his talent for mixing potions was far above that of his peers, and he soon stood out among his fellow chemists.

So it's no surprise that he was taken in as an apprentice by the notorious Warwick. Warwick was a hired pharmacist for the army during the war between Noxus and Ionia.

In Warwick's laboratory, Sinjid toiled endlessly, quickly grasping every detail of his master's lethal skill.

He had no fear of death or destruction from his labor. When the curse of wolf delusion befalls his master, Sinjid is ready to transform from a laborer to an inventor.

He is ready to bring new calamity to the Ionian frontier so that he can proclaim his talent to the world. The flame of his thirst for progress was unquenchable, and when there was a lack of suitable test subjects, the impatient chemist often thought about pouring his volatile potions on his body.

When the hard-won peace created by League of Legends finally settles down in the world, Sinjid sets out for a place where his beloved craft can be put to use: the War College.

By this time, he was almost no longer human, and his body had been destroyed and held together by his delicate skill. Hundreds of burn marks, shadows, and flames devastated his devastated body.

Exposure to such harsh conditions had numbed his nerves, and his body was hard and strong, transforming him into a literally heavy-duty hinged truck. And this, combined with the terrible weapon quenched with deadly poison, makes Sinjid a force to be reckoned with in the land of justice.

Warwick was a man of great reverence, and that awe came from his ability to capture human samples for the darkest types of scientific research.

When his ambition overflowed his physical limitations, he drank a dangerous concoction to transform himself into an unstoppable hunter. His newfound power requires him to pay a serious price.

Before he transformed, Warwick discovered his talent in Zaun as a "purchaser" for human testing subjects. He was civilized by his dexterous methods and ruthless determination, and there was a cautious attitude to him mixed with fear and respect.

As his reputation grew, so did the demands placed on him. His customers wanted rarer and more dangerous samples, and they wanted to receive them faster.

To meet their demands, Warwick needs strength to transcend his confined human form. His longtime friend Sinjid invented a powerful formula.

The recipe requires three key ingredients: silver from the Isle of Shadows, teeth from a wildfire direwolf, and the heart of a celestial creature.

Warwick quickly got the first two, but the third was a great challenge. He travels to Ionia to trap Soraka, a creature believed to be the Child of the Stars, but she sees through his scheme and uses powerful magic to drive him away. Unable to bear his defeat, Warwick returned to Sinjid in disarray.

He asks the alchemist to give him the unfinished potion, but Singid warns him of the unpredictable consequences. Warwick ignored his friend's warning and drank the potion.

The brew transformed him into a half-human, half-wolf creature and imbued him with vigorous strength and strengthened his senses. Excited, he immediately began to test his newfound powers.

His instincts were getting sharper every day, but that human half of his body was getting farther and farther away from him. He could feel him losing control: although he would always catch his prey, he would often not be able to bring them back alive.

Now, he's searching for the heart of Sorakar so that he can stabilize his metamorphosis before his sanity gives way to the wild impulses of the beast.

Warwick is arguably one of the most powerful and respected men in his native Zaun. During his infamous career as an alchemist, Warwick won many accolades for his extraordinary skills, many of which were the windfall profits he earned for the Norwegian army during the Noxian invasion of Eurasia.

Secluded in a laboratory far from the front lines, Warwick and his apprentice Singid worked tirelessly to create all sorts of horrific concoctions for the Noxian army.

His skills are so powerful that even Ionia's greatest healers, led by the Children of the Stars, Soraka, struggle to fight against the poisons and chemical weapons created by his despicable soul.

Warwick's reign of terror was so feared that his name had become a curse in the eyes of the Ionians, who began to call him "The Soul Seeker".

However, even under the protection of the Noxus higher-ups, Warwick could not escape the punishment he deserved. When Soraka crossed the corpse-strewn devastation that had left Warwick's chemical attack, her heart was shattered.

She summoned the wrath of Heaven upon Warwick, cursing Warwick's form as vicious as his heart, and the price of the curse was to deprive her of the divinity she had so desired.

Inside his laboratory, a terrible hunger and thirst took over Warwick. As his apprentice looked at him in horror, Warwick shook off the colony gate and ran wildly into the unknown, letting out a creepy howl along the way.

He became a werewolf, a raging, ferocious beast. Now, the bloodthirsty hunter fights for Noxus within League of Legends, thanks to the curse that the now-mortal Soraka has placed on him.

Warwick is a monster that hunts the grey alleys of Zaun. His body was subjected to painful experiments and mutated, fusing intricate reservoirs and medicine pumps to inject alchemy-synthesized anger hormones into his veins. He emerges from the shadows to hunt down the criminals who ravage the deepest parts of the city. Warwick is attracted to blood, and the smell of blood makes him lose his mind. No bloodstained man escapes his prey.
