For Ash, the chain of evidence that Rhodes has is actually incomplete - although Rhodes can now tell eighty percent of what happened, he will never find evidence for the remaining two tenths.

And this is also where Ember has nothing to fear.

According to Ionian law, it is impossible to convict by inference alone, and to determine Ember's murder, either find all the evidence and close the chain of evidence, or Ember himself confesses the crime.

Obviously, Ember is confident that neither of these methods will work for Rhodes, he can guarantee that all the evidence has been destroyed, and he will never open his mouth to confess.

And for this attitude of Ash, Rod scoffed.

According to Rhodes' own intentions, it would be good to destroy the scum of Ember on the spot - Rhodes could guarantee that his Arcane Storm would be able to achieve a similar effect to Ling Chi, but no matter what, Ember was still useful now.

Rhodes needs Ember - or the evidence of Ember - as a condition for himself in exchange for Karma's help, and it is cool to kill Ember directly, but what to use to invite Karma?

Now, Rhodes has locked up the killer, but next, he needs to find a way to prove that this guy is the murderer.

And everything that this method needs, Rhodes has already prepared.

……………………

On Ash's side, when Rhodes said that he was not an Ionian, he was scared into a cold sweat.

Ember knew very well that the main reason why he was able to save his life in prison was that Kushu couldn't violate Ionian law - because the Golden Demon case was very big at that time, and everyone knew that Kushu had caught a stage manager named Kada Ash, and in this case, Kushu had to give Ember a verdict.

And not a private execution.

So when he was captured, Ember didn't panic at all, because he, like Rhodes, was a rune annihilator.

It's just that unlike Rhodes, Ember's rune annihilator status was not caused by his active annihilation of runes, but because of a failed baptism.

In Ionia, there are many casters who use the power of runes, and there are countless warriors who use the power of runes in their martial arts, and in such an environment, all parents will want their children to become people who can use the power of runes.

And Ash's parents are no exception.

It's hard to say whether Ash's parents love him or not - they did provide Ember with a seemingly good upbringing, but when Ash's father went bankrupt, Ember was sent by his own parents to a non-prominent sect for so-called "baptism" when he was five years old.

According to the elders of this sect, this baptism can bring out the talent of the embers, but the reality is ...... Ember became the subject of a dangerous experiment.

The parents, who had "sold" their children, received a large sum of money to help them make a fortune in Piltover's trade and make a comeback.

By the time the couple found Ember again, the eight-year-old had been "baptized" to drain all of her potential and become a rune annihilator - and what the past three years had been like, of course, it was conceivable.

Eventually, Ash's parents took Ember home.

Ember seemed to have become Young Master Kuo again, still looking innocent, as if he had completely forgotten the days when he was used as an experiment—but no one knew that the deepest uneasiness had been engraved into his bones, and although it was not revealed, it would never be forgotten.

Later, when Ash's mother became pregnant for the second time, Ember set her home on fire.

It was Ember's first murder, and the harvest was endless exhilaration, as well as the status of an orphan.

After being rescued from the fire alone, Ember discarded his former name and named himself Ember – that year, Ember was ten years old.

Later, Ember began to wander.

Luckily, Ionia was so rich that even if Ember was an orphan, he wouldn't die of starvation – and even when Ember was twelve, he was spotted by the owner of a touring theater company as a child laborer and a stage trainee.

In addition to work, Ember watched the actors appear again and again, and the small stage seemed to divide these actors into two different people one by one—one on the stage and the other off the stage.

So, Ember began to crave the stage.

But Ember knew very well that he was not qualified to be on stage, or rather...... Not at the moment.

During a touring troupe, the entire troupe was stationed in the wilderness - Noxus had not yet invaded Ionia, and the whole of Ionia was still in harmony, and the troupe did not even have a night watchman.

By the time Ember had cleaned up everything, he was already the last person in the troupe to be awake.

Then, just as Ember was about to go to rest, he met a group of merchants.

It was a group of merchants from Piltover - Ember was familiar with the accent, as Ember's parents had acquired it when they picked him up from that sect.

In the dead of night, the merchants did not choose to rest, but traveled all night, as if to dispel their sleepiness, and talked about the harvest with great interest on the tortoise's back, and one of the merchants showed off the gift he had brought for his son, and in the face of this situation, Ember did not know why his heart was suddenly full of anger.

Anger brings impulse.

Ember secretly took the moss prepared by the magicians who performed magic tricks in the troupe, and quietly fed it to the tortoise while the merchants stopped to relieve themselves.

The tortoise that had eaten the moss quickly went berserk, roared and shook off the goods on his back, and trampled the merchants to death—and by the time the troupe woke up, it was too late.

Mixed in the crowd, Ember looked at the mess at the scene of the crime with a calm face, but his heart was extremely excited.

At this moment, Ember seemed to have found another self.

The local sheriff soon arrives and attempts to retrace what happened with the help of a spell - but interestingly, due to the Rune Annihilators, there is no Ember in the sheriff's retracement.

So, judging from the results, it was these tortoises who accidentally ate the flower moss and caused madness, which was a complete accident.

And from this result, Ember got two most important messages.

First, perfect murder is what interests me, and the scene of killing is my best stage.

Second, Rune Annihilation wasn't useless, at least those retrospective spells were completely ineffective against Ember.

Since then, Ember has embarked on the path of killing.

Following the troupe, Ember travels and kills - using traps, Hex's tools, poisons and psychedelics, slaughtering caravans and destroying villages, but he always escapes capture, after all, no one puts the suspicion of a murderer on an ordinary person.

Even in the process, there were a few times when the troupe was under suspicion, but the focus of doubt was never on Ember.

No one knows the identity of the Ember Rune Annihilator - no one even knows the Rune Annihilator.

Except for bitter talk.
