The storm that Jinx imagined didn't come immediately.

Although Rhodes is on the verge of going berserk at this moment, he knows very well that his first task now is not to hold Jinx accountable - Jinx can't run away anyway, and he, a maid who always wants to make a big news, has the means and opportunity to clean up.

What Rhodes really needs to do now is to confirm Sacco's life and death - although the spatial anchor that had been placed on Sacco has completely disappeared, the fireworks just now do not seem to have burned in the air.

As long as the parts fall to the ground, there is still a possibility that Sacco will be resurrected.

(Of course, Rhodes needs to deal with Jace in addition to Sacco - but that's not a hurry, Jace has his own apprentice watching now.) ）

And more importantly, Rhodes also had a vague feeling that the means of the Supreme Council of Piltover should be more than that.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Rhodes chose to find the Sacco fragment that exploded into a firework and did not burn it in the air after glancing at Jinx with his eyes.

Mending knives is a good habit - Rhodes is not one of those protagonists who rely on luck and fights, but he has received a very complete mage education at Violet Academy, and graduated as an excellent graduate of the Golden Legend Mage!

Knock out the enemy without repairing the sword...... Rod really can't do this kind of thing.

Glaring at Jinx again, Rhodes disappeared where he was.

"You're waiting for me to come back!"

……………………

Rhodes lost his tavern, miserable.

Sacco lost most of his body—even worse.

During the ejection, Sacco was directly hit by a series of fire explosions and was torn apart.

Most of Sacco was burned.

But thankfully, there's still a section of spring there.

Sacco used this stanza of his own spring to "shape" a body for himself again.

This time, though, because of the lack of materials, this Sacco looks more like a ...... A scarecrow.

It's not that Sacco wants to cosplay Federtick to scare Rhodes, but because there's only these rudimentary materials near where he lands.

Under the influence of the curse, every part of Sacco's body has special abilities, but in order to escape, he gave up being the key puppet heart.

Without the heart of the puppet, Sacco could no longer shape his body by "infecting the material", by changing the appearance of the material, he could only use the simple materials that he could see, to create a crude body for himself.

I don't know where to find the limbs and torso made of tree branches, and the knee and elbow joints are simply fixed and even partially protruded; The hands made of two tattered fist gloves completely lost the ability to hold a knife; A pair of stone feet, walking slower than a turtle - and these scattered things are completely dependent on a spring to maintain their motion.

The only thing Sacco was concerned about in his entire body was the head of a dilapidated doll, which he didn't know where to find it.

With his own "hand", Sacco reluctantly tore open the corners of the doll's mouth and added a familiar, eternally rising corner to himself.

Then, with such a limp, Sacco continued to flee from Zaun.

Go to the beach!

Hurry to the beach!

The only thing Sako could confirm was that as long as he was in the sea, the mage would not be able to find him.

But alas—Rhodes found him anyway.

Sacco, who had only a small spring in his core, had lost most of his abilities, and now he couldn't make a magic box, couldn't hold a dagger, couldn't even enter stealth, and limping was already the limit.

This speed of movement, combined with the delay it took him to craft his head, allowed Rhodes to find Sacco before he could enter the sea, even though Rhodes had lost his mark on him (dispelled by the Puppet Destroyer's Heart).

Rod let out a slow breath.

Looking at the embarrassed Sacco, Rhodes didn't feel pity for him at all.

Now, a lot of things are clear.

Sacco wasn't a man — not even a magical creature in the conventional sense of the word — he was just a cursed doll who, under the influence of the Dark Arts, had become a murderous clown.

Perhaps in the process, Sacco magically possessed a certain personality, but in Rod's view, Sacco has no good or evil - it can be confirmed that Sacco should be eliminated.

It is precisely because Sacco is not human that he will use his various "means" to complete his "mission" - torture and killing.

As if having spotted Rod, Sacco controlled his arm with a spring, and through the elbow that was protruding, he struggled to prop up the mouth of the doll's head a little wider.

It's like a silent smile.

Sacco could not speak.

But the smile says it all.

Rod narrowed his eyes, then snapped his fingers.

The last of Sacco burned in the flames—the springs made Sacco's body flicker and shorter, and the shadows on the ground flickered and dimmed under the beating of the flames.

It was Sacco's final dance, and the final curtain call for the demon clown, or the cursed doll.

Rod's flame finally put an end to Sacco.

For some reason, Rod's mood became a little heavy, and there seemed to be a cloud of anger in his heart that he couldn't vent.

Rhodes was not a gentleman, and he never followed the creed of not being angry or offended.

Seeing Sacco disappear completely, Rod secretly made up his mind.

I definitely have to teach Jace a deep enough lesson.

Don't ask me why, there is no reason this time - I'm going to be angry again!

……………………

What Rhodes didn't know was that when Sacco was completely reduced to ashes, in the depths of the Shurima Desert, a weeping mummy finally stood up.

Whether Rhodes knew it or not, his complete elimination of Sacco had helped the emperor of Shurima's first dynasty to wait for Godot as he wanted.

The wind and sand are still there, but this time Amumu, who embarked on the journey, has no tears in his eyes.

————————

Unlike Draven, who is stupid to be in the limelight, Sacco has no desire of his own.

Although all of Sacco's actions are simple and persistent "evil", this kind of evil is not what Sacco thinks, this is his mission, and it is also the meaning of his birth.

It is precisely because Sacco is pure enough that Rhodes feels heavy after Sacco's complete death, because the fault itself is not in Sacco.

Sacco exists like ice and charcoal, and although it will eventually decarbonize the ice – the question is, who put the ice and carbon together?

In the future Shurima volume "The Long Sand", Rhodes will unveil that veil with his own hands.
