On the surface, it appears that this operation against the King of the Rock Beasts is a joint effort between the Dreadnought Vanguard and the Rangers, but in reality, it is a tripartite collaboration.

The third party is the Illuminati, hidden in the shadows, who have sent a five-man squad of grey-robed mages to secretly aid the Dreadnought Vanguard and Rangers.

And Lux is one of those five.

Compared to the other four cautious mages, Lux is undoubtedly a lot more lively, although after putting on the gray robe, she has been deliberately calm, trying to restrain her lively side as much as possible, but in essence she is still the optimistic and brave little girl.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lux now has two options.

Explore on your own, or go back and gather your companions.

The former is dangerous, because Lux doesn't know who is laying these seals, and if she is noticed, she is likely to meet with accidents; The latter may lose useful information, and it is likely that necessary traces will be lost in one go back and forth.

After a moment's hesitation, Lux chose to follow - of course, she also chose to let her mount Starfire go, the clever horse would return to Dandor, and once her teammates came to her, they would easily find the signal they had left behind.

In this way, Lux followed the mark left by Cana and slowly followed behind Rhodes' carriage.

And because Cana had always needed to pay attention to the fluctuation of rune power in front of her, she didn't notice Lux getting closer and closer behind her - until Lux was caught.

Interestingly, while in Dandor, Lux and her companions searched for a long time without finding a trace of the King of the Rock Beasts, and while she was sneaking in on the trail of Rhodes and Jana, she met the King of the Rock Beasts.

Lux was brave, but not reckless - in fact, she was always on the utmost vigilance as she followed the marker, on the one hand, and on the other hand, on the other hand, of other attackers that might appear, beasts, rock beasts, or whatever.

With nothing to hide from under the light, Lux believes that no one can avoid her gaze.

Of course, there really wasn't anything that avoided her sight, and the King of the Rock Beasts was always in her sight.

……………………

At the time, Lux was walking on a wasteland - Demacia was known for its abundance, but the further northwest it went, the closer it was to the Titan Peak, the more desolate it became.

Although the mineral resources here are relatively rich, and the associated gemstones are regarded as Valoran's gift to Demacia, walking in the wind and sand, looking up at a vast desert plateau, this still makes Lux have an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.

The terrain was rugged, with small hills one after another, and it was very hard for Lux to get on the road without his mount.

Thankfully, the Illuminati's grey robes were of such quality that Lux didn't eat a mouthful of sand when the wind blew.

On Rod's side, Xiaoxing lives at night, while Lux travels day and night, and the power of runes permeates her body, allowing her to keep her feet light at all times - an exclusive skill for Lux, and even when Starfire is tired, she will quietly use a little light magic on the horses.

Those rune markers Lux has also tried to parse, but the effect has not been good, Lux has no way to do this relatively pure energy, let alone decipher the secrets, but according to the different energy intensities in these markers, Lux can clearly judge that he is getting closer and closer to the target.

After all, the energy response of the rune mark can't deceive people.

And as she gets closer to her goal, Lux gets more and more nervous - now she has a difficult choice in front of her, whether she should speed up and find the maker of the rune marker, or keep her distance and wait until her teammates can catch up?

Tempted to go up and find out, Lux held back.

There is no doubt that the maker of the rune mark is stronger than himself, and it is extremely dangerous to close the distance at this time.

Being aggressive doesn't mean being reckless, and Lux decided to slow down her pace.

When twilight fell, Lux was ready to find herself a place to rest - near a hill, she found a low cliff of just the right size, the direction of the cliff was completely leeward, as long as she made a cavern here, the bitter wind could not blow in, and she could wrap herself in a cloak and rest for the night.

As she said and did, Lux mobilized the power of light and created a translucent singularity.

Within the height of a person, the light energy was extremely compressed, and then detonated in an instant, and the debris on the low cliff was scattered.

The mountains shook for a while.

As she was preparing her next spell, Lux stumbled to her feet, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

What's going on?

Could it be that the spell you just cast caused an earthquake?

Impossible, right?

Just as Lux was in shock, the ground began to tremble again.

Lux watched as the hill in front of her grew taller and taller—as if it had been pulled out of the earth, and as the mountain left the ground, the gravel and dirt were shaken off, and Lux finally saw the hill in its entirety.

A humanoid body over fifty meters tall, powerful limbs, dark gray granite shields, and sharp stone thorns - this is clearly the king of rock beasts!

And the haven that Lux had just hoped to create a cavern was actually the giant rock beast's ...... One foot.

Lux wanted to cry without tears.

The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't mean to find trouble, who would have thought that such a big hill is actually the body of the king of rock beasts?!

Lux had no choice but to try to slip away at the first opportunity, she knew far better than the average mage how difficult this giant creature was to deal with.

But...... It's so easy to run!

The King of the Rock Beasts reached out and grabbed Lux.

Lux immediately activated the power of his runes, and the blinding light covered his tracks, causing the King of Rock Beasts to lose his purpose.

The King of the Rock Beasts was patient, and he decided to teach the little bug who had disturbed him a lesson, and although he was upset, he didn't make the Great Earthquake tremble in the first place - Moffett didn't think he was a murderous villain, so he waited quietly for the light to go out.

At the same time, under the cover of the light, Lux was also secretly anxious - if the King of Rock Beasts continued to brake like this, he might not be able to escape, after all, his strength was limited, and the light interference area he could create was not large, and this part of the space was not enough to get rid of the possible follow-up pursuit!

The fifty-meter-tall king of giant rock beasts, one step he took was enough to run for half a day!

In this case, I am afraid that I will ...... I can only fight to the death!

However, just as Lux was about to attack with all his might, a piercing birdsong was heard in the sky, followed by a blue figure rushing down.
