541 Danger and strength, the scythe of shadows

Siddha Cain, an elite practitioner of shadow magic, fights to achieve his true destiny - to one day lead the Shadowstream Sect and usher in a new generation of Ionian hegemony.

For this reason, he has long held on to something that the world fears, although it is only an abstract concept, but the forces of corruption have actually begun to invade his mind since then, which is why he and the true living Darkseed weapon Raast choose each other. For a long time, Raaste has been waiting for the perfect host to corrupt and erode it, so that she can reunite with her fellow Darkspawn in a new way to start more and better battles together.

But in the scene of the encounter, Cain was not easily devoured. He returned to Ionia as a victor with the Darkspawn Scythe, convinced that he would be appointed the new leader of the Shadowstream Sect.

After that, Cain ignored the advice and continued to wield the living Darkspawn weapon, Raast, unoblivious to the continued corruption it inflicted on his body and mind. There are only two possible consequences if this continues: either Cain bends the weapon to his will; Or, this vicious blade will completely erode and devour him, preluding the prelude to more and more insane destruction.

Therefore, any strong enemy must be defeated, and he must maintain the belief that he will win!

……

Born in Noxus, Cain and other children of the same fate were forcibly recruited into the army as child soldiers. Only the most insidious and inhuman Noxian commander would dare to resort to such extreme cruelty. And all because the general compassion of the Ionians is a weakness that can be exploited—their warriors are hesitant to strike when faced with seemingly innocent opponents. Therefore, Kai Yin, who could barely hold the sword, was sent to the battlefield, which was also equivalent to going to the execution ground.

The mixed Noxus troop crossed the land and the ocean, landing at the mouth of the Yipo River. Later, Cain and the other child soldiers were forced to serve as vanguards, taking on a group of local militias that had been improvised to defend their homes against the resurgence of invaders.

The unreasonable battle officially broke out, and in the chaotic hedge, Kaiyin's little comrades-in-arms fell or fled one after another, but Kaiyin was undaunted. He threw away his heavy sword, picked up a short-handled scythe from the ground, and turned to face the surprised Ionian. At this time, the regular army of Noxus happened to whizz past from the flank.

The ensuing slaughter was horrifying, with farmers, hunters, and even a few petite Vastayas all slaughtered without dignity.

Two days later, when word reached the southern edge of Ionia, the Shadowstream Cult had arrived in the killing land. You don't have to travel all over the place to know that this area is actually of no tactical value. The massacre was only to send a message: Noxus will show no mercy.

Traveling without any mood fluctuations, a cold light fell into the corner of the robbery's eyes. A child no more than ten years old was lying in the mud, gesturing at the Master Assassin with a broken scythe. His hand holding the hilt of the knife was bloodied, and his complexion was pale.

The boy's eyes contained pain beyond his years, and at the same time burned with the anger of a veteran. This kind of indomitability cannot be learned at all. The child, the survivor abandoned by Noxus, opened his eyes to a potential weapon that could be used against those who sent him to his death. He reached out to him and took Kai Yin as a disciple of the Shadow Stream Sect......

Traditionally, disciples of the Shadowstream Sect were required to choose a weapon and train for years, but Cain was proficient in all of them. And in fact, for him, the sword is just a tool, and he himself is the real weapon. In his eyes, armor is a cumbersome burden, so he only wears a shadow, and takes people's lives invisibly in lightness. His swift lore made it impossible for those who escaped to escape from fear.

Training, actual combat, Kai Yin gradually became famous, and his ego began to swell. He firmly believed that his figure would one day be able to cover the sky and even surpass the Grandmaster Tribulation.

And his arrogance made him take the initiative to meet his final trial:

On that day, he summoned the strongest disciple in the seat, and he informed them that the sect's spies had confirmed a very interesting (and frightening) rumor. Nemesis Noxus has discovered an ancient Darkspawn scythe with the power of any Ionian magic. In the corner of the scythe stared at a scarlet hatered one-eye, tempting the mighty humans to fight it. However, it is clear that no one is qualified to use it at the moment. All who touched it were swiftly and painfully devoured by its malice, as it was now heavily wrapped in chain mail and coarse cloth, escorted by a legion on horseback to the Immortal Fortress.

Hearing this, Kai Yin, who considered himself the strongest and strongest among the summoned disciples, knew what kind of instructions he would receive, and joined forces with his senior brothers. And that was obviously not exciting enough, so he took the initiative to stand up and apply for this extremely difficult task as his personal final test.

Without waiting for him to say more, he decided on the content of his mission: he was given full responsibility for the battle, whether it was an individual or a group, it was up to him to decide. As a result, however, the Dark Descent weapons must be succeeded in preventing the new threat to the struggling Ionian Defence Forces at all costs, and their destruction should be prioritized when conditions permit.

Such an instruction, when interpreted conventionally, is a great trust, but it still doesn't quite fit Kaiyin's assumption...... But he didn't say much, but took the trial first without hesitation, and never asked why he was allowed to do it. Indeed, any other disciple would obey the orders and completely destroy this living giant scythe named Layast, but Kai Yin thought about taking it for himself at the first time!

Anyone could see the excitement in Kai'in's eyes, and it was definitely not the appearance of destroying the scythe. The casual permission of the robbery was repeatedly speculated by many disciples, and there were also people who reminded Kai Yin that it was best to follow the orders of the Shadow Stream Co-Master to destroy it first, so as to avoid the occurrence of some extraneous branches.

However, Kai Yin is not even ready to take care of his life, and will he still care about the persuasion of his brothers?

Why do powerful weapons have to be destroyed? Can't control it? What are you kidding, I'm going to be the next generation of shadow masters! He is a strongman who is destined to surpass everything!

The more fearful and defensive you are, the more excited I am! So, let me take a good look at you, a powerful evil named Raaste, and don't let me down!
