Chapter 18: The Death Knight

Waking up from the darkness and regaining lost consciousness, Galen felt a splitting headache. It was pitch black and terrifying, and Galen tried to stand up, only to find that his body was completely uncontrollable, and he was unconscious except for his own eyes, which could barely blink. Countless tiny fragments of memory quickly patched together, slowly emerging in Galen's blank mind.

"Gather a group of men and join me in our march towards the sea due west of Demacia, break the blockade there and call for help. ”

············

"Lux, you are not allowed to go, let me stay in the palace obediently. ”

············

"The palace has been attacked, ask for backup!"

············

"Attention! Find cover, watch out for the sky!"

············

"Who are you, why are you in the palace?" and what about the others?"

"All of them were killed by me······"

············

"Who the hell are you?"

"You'll know. ”

············

"······ here" His chapped lips were opened, and a hoarse voice struggled to come out of Galen's mouth.

It must have been the man who broke into the palace to bring him here. By the way, Lux, that guy said that everyone in the palace was killed by him, and Lux······ At that time, Lux was still recuperating, and Galen was worried about her health, so he left her in the palace, and if what the guy said was true, then ······

Thinking of this, Galen's unconscious body trembled violently. But after a while, Galen gradually calmed down. Impossible, although it is not known how that guy entered the palace, but Lux is guarded by a steam robot that he personally left behind, created by a very powerful wise man a long time ago, plus there is also the Minotaur Chief Alista who remains in the palace, I believe that Lux must be safe.

The crunchy tapping sound of "Da Da ......" came from a distance, from far to near, making Galen can't help but slow down his breathing.

The sound of "da-da-......" gradually became clear, and Galen held his breath.

By the time the sound stopped, Galen could already tell that the owner of the voice was close to him.

With a clear collision sound, the dim light instantly lit up above him, and the sudden light made him subconsciously close his eyes. After adjusting to the light, through his blurred vision, Galen found himself in a tiny space, surrounded by nothing but the black walls. And there was a person standing in front of him, judging from his figure, this must be the person who broke into the palace. The difference was that the guy was masked that day, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but now he was not masked, and looked at him condescendingly through his pupils as dark as night.

Galen leaned against the damp wall, and looked up with some difficulty, he found that he had lost sensation except for his neck, which could still move, and a very bad premonition came over him. After Galen made eye contact with the man and saw his face clearly, Galen was shocked. His face was full of surprise and bewilderment.

"You ······" Galen opened his mouth, only to find that his throat was choked and he couldn't make a sound.

"Why, don't you know me?" the other man's voice was dull and hoarse, uncomfortable for Galen, but there was a sense of familiarity, "I didn't expect you to be so weak that you still want to rebel against the queen?" ”

“·······” Galen blinked violently, trying to verify if there was something wrong with his eyes, and when he saw the familiar face in his memory again, his heart seemed to be crushed by a boulder, leaving him breathless, and the difficult and bitter words came out of his mouth, "Vayne, you ······"

Vayne, that's right, it's Wayne!Vayne the Night Hunter with god-killing blood!Galen really couldn't imagine that the person who broke into the palace would be Vayne, and judging from Vayne's words, it seems that she has surrendered to the demon. Why? Wayne had always hated the darkness and had vowed to kill all the darkness in the world, but why did she surrender to the darkness and become a demon minions?

"Wayne? The other party sneered and looked at Galen with disbelief on his face, "I'm a Night Hunter." I don't have a name, I'm just Queen Morgana's sword, that's all. ”

"Morgana ······" Galen's voice was not loud, but it was filled with irrepressible anger, and the cold flames burned hot in his eyes.

"You'll see the queen soon. Another sneer, "You should feel lucky, because you are the one favored by the Queen." If it weren't for the Queen's call for me to bring you back, you would have been wiped out with your Demacia. ”

"Ashes······ Smoke out?" Galen was stunned, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and with the sound of heavy breathing, the words of gnashing teeth spat out of Galen's mouth, "How can you destroy the palace······?" It's impossible, it's obviously guarded by steam robots and Alista, how is it possible?"

"Are you talking about that pile of scrap iron and that weird man with the head of a bull?" the other sneered, and cold words spat out of the demon's mouth, "The palace of Demacia, except for the power of West Asia, Galen, there is no life left." ”

The bad news was like a thunderbolt, slamming into Galen's heart, making him dizzy.

"The palace has been reduced to ashes, and you better not think that anyone will be spared," her heart touched lightly as she looked at his pained face, and although it was only for a moment, it still surprised her. Why is there a trace of unbearable self when he is as cold as iron?

"Wayne, you're ······" Galen's voice seemed to age dozens of years in an instant, and there was uncontrollable anger and pathos in it.

"Why, can't you withstand the blow?" At this moment, an elegant voice slowly sounded. With a dim purple light, a tall figure appeared next to Wayne, no, it should be the Night Hunter, "I'm a little disappointed." ”

"Queen. Wayne knelt down on one knee and bowed her head respectfully.

"You're doing a great job. "The person known as the Queen was wrapped in purple light, and she had a pair of black wings on her back. At this time, she was hugging her shoulders and looking at Galen with interest.

She likes to look at people in despair, no matter who they are.

"Are you the one who has invaded our continent?" disgust and anger appeared on Galen's pale face.

"Well, I'm only half the leader, to be exact," Morgana chuckled lowly, a faint smile on her pale, almost transparent face, "My name is Morgana, and I'm just a homeless little girl. ”

"What did you do to Wayne?" Galen asked coldly after glancing at Wayne, who was on his knees motionless.

"Her name is Wayne, and that's a good name," Morgana chuckled, "but sadly, the name has been forgotten forever." Because she's my Night Hunter now, and it's all mine. ”

"You demon!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Rest assured, you too will soon be like her, a puppet who will always exist for me. Morgana's graceful indifference contrasted with Galen's angry powerlessness.

"Alright, the chit-chat is over. Morgana clapped her hands, graceful as a king in the dark, "It's time to get down to business." ”

The white hand flipped slightly, and in the dim light, gray flames appeared in Morgana's palm out of thin air. The gray flame burned weakly, and the temperature around it began to drop strangely the moment the gray flame appeared. A terrifying aura of death emanated from the black flames.

"Flame of Death. Morgana's indifferent voice was mixed with a little solemnity, and there was a little pain in her palm, "This should be the purest flame of death." Although the Karthus guy is stingy, he is still efficient in his work. ”

Indifferently looking at the gray flame that seemed to be extinguished with a slight blow, there was no fluctuation in Galen's resolute and tired eyes.

Tingting curled up towards Galen, and Morgana chuckled, "Death Knight, another piece of mine...... Oh no, a masterpiece. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Morgana gently sent the gray-white flame of death.

The moment the Flame of Death touched Galen, the tiny flames gradually amplified and turned into raging flames, completely covering Galen. Feeling the pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow and eroded his soul, Galen's brows furrowed, and a hiss full of pain came from Galen's mouth, and his body slowly floated in the gray flames, and at the same time there was a violent change.

Galen's body trembled violently, the clothes on his body had long been completely shattered, and the purple-black armor began to emerge from his shoulders, gradually enveloping her body completely, and his face was no longer sluggish and sad, but cold and indifferent. His pale face gradually turned gray.

A bright light came out of nowhere, wrapping around Galen's left arm, and the armor of his left arm suddenly changed, adding a circle of black spikes. At the same time, a gray light extended outward from his palm, and a giant sword was formed.

The sword was one meter long, the blade was two inches wide, and the hilt was covered with a silver light that exuded the aura of death, and the sharp tip of the sword exuded an aura of danger.

Galen slowly landed, and a terrifying aura came out of his body.

"Galen, the Death Knight. Looking into Galen's empty eyes, Morgana nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, Queen. Galen's voice was a dark air of death.

"I command you to go to the sea of conquerors, the westernmost part of Demacia, and kill anyone near that shore. ”

Morgana waved her hand, and a curtain of blue light rose from under Galen's feet, covering Galen, and with a mysterious purple halo, Galen disappeared in place. What she didn't see was a slight flicker of gray light in Galen's godless eyes.

"That's good," Morgana rubbed her aching temples, "and that should be the solution to the Dragonmaiden's affairs." Now it's time to get down to business, Night Hunter. ”

"Yes, my Queen. The Night Hunter said respectfully. Galen's change didn't surprise her much, because it was none of her business, her only task was to become the Queen's sword and fight for it, nothing more.

"Open our place," the cold words spat out from the corners of Morgana's thin mouth, the pale red blood in her mysterious purple pupils slowly condensing, "Didn't that slut Kyle want to know where I was?" ”

"Yes. ”

"Let everyone be ready for war, and all those who are still wandering on the mainland, let them get back for me, or don't come back. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's time for an end, tens of thousands of years," a deep voice sounded in the darkness, cold and bitter, with a bit of weariness.
