Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Curtain Rises

The cold wind rustles the turquoise leaves.

He stood there silently, his arms hanging over his waist, as if he had something in his hands, but he couldn't see what was there because of the cloudiness of the light.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the crisis from far and near.

The grass shook its head gently, and a small flower that had not yet fully bloomed slowly fell in the wind. The dark clouds, driven by the fierce wind, slowly gave way to the bright moon.

And the next moment when the moon shone on his swarthy face, he moved.

He made a very simple motion, turned around quickly, and then raised his hands, which in the bright moonlight were two silver pistols.

The silvery muzzle of the gun spit out a dazzling silver light, and in a certain direction, the bright light ran through the entire night. With the cacophony of metal crackling, he jerked back, and the next moment, tiny blades that were barely recognizable in the moonlight flew towards him.

In the whirring sound of breaking wind, sharp blades seemed to appear out of thin air, flying towards him at an extremely fast speed, each aimed directly at the point.

In the case of no avoidance, he took a light breath, and the two guns were held smoothly in front of him, the bright light quickly condensed in the muzzle, and the terrifying momentum that tore through the space roared around him.

"Alright, almost. With a smiling sip, he slowly lowered his twin guns, which still had a faint silver light, and the corners of his mouth crossed an arc without a trace of coldness.

"You've grown stronger, Lucian. In the dark night, a tall figure quietly appeared, like the master of the night. His face was hidden by a huge silver-white hood, and only his pale mouth was exposed, "Of course, there is still some distance to defeat me. ”

Lucian twisted his neck, and the spears fluttered on his slender fingers as if they had come to life, "How could I forget the name of the Shadow of the Blade back then?"

The tall man smiled and slowly flipped his hood back, his handsome wheat-colored face appearing in the bright moonlight. "And yet it is this name that compels me to say goodbye to you, my friend. ”

"Heh, to be called a friend by Tyrone the Shadow of the Blade," Lucian glanced at Tyrone and said indifferently, "It's an honor." ”

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Tyrone lowered his head and slowly put his silver hood over his head, so that Lucian would not see the extra smile on his face.

"What can I do?" Lucian shrugged, "or wander like before." ”

"Have you ever thought of coming with me?" Tyrone tiptoed lightly, his voice tinged with a very different emotion than the cold, "I think she'll be very welcoming to you." ”

"Forget it. Hearing the emotion in Tyrone's powerful voice, Lucian shook his head and quietly erased the emotions that appeared on his dark face, "You should know that what I hate the most is to be ordered, if one day I am slaughtered by that horrible guy, will you collect the body for me?"

"Whatever you want. Tyrone shook his head indifferently.

Since Kyle and Morgana disappeared, Valoran, who was riddled with holes, was healing at a breakneck pace. At this time, the continent also has a new face, at least from the perspective of the existing countries.

In terms of the scale of reconstruction, there are now four most powerful nations on the continent of Valoran: Demacia, Freljord, Piltover, and Noxus, which came out of the fire of the dead country.

Demacia rose from the depths of the kingdom under the leadership of the Laurent family and Zhao Xin, the governor of Germany, to become the most powerful nation on the continent, Frelchod rose to prominence under the protection of a god of war known as the Demon Blade, and Piltover was in full swing to build the country. Only Noxus is the weakest, because almost 90 percent of the buildings in Noxus have been reduced to ashes, and all the land has become charred black, not to mention the population. But it was the fastest to rebuild, because the leader of Noxus was now a god. The only god on the continent today.

In the past, her fame resounded throughout the continent. Ever since she had been promoted to god-level with powerful equipment from nowhere, she had risen to an unprecedented height and a pinnacle in her ability to fight against Ionia, challenge Karma the Apocalypse of Ionia alone, and escape safely under the siege of Ionia.

She is now the queen of Noxus, the Ominous Blade Caterina.

Tyrone vanished into the darkness of the night, and Lucy stood quietly like a pitch-black statue.

"Senna, the curtain of Valoran," Lucian muttered to himself, staring at the twin guns in his hands, a strange brilliance in his eyes, "pulled away ......"

···········

Ionia.

"Apocalypse, the Isle of Shadows has been sealed off. An extremely hurried voice rang out, breaking Karma's musings, and he seemed to have something extremely urgent to convey to the supreme ruler of Ionia, and the original "Lord of the Apocalypse" also became "the Apocalypse" in his urgency, "but ......"

"But there is not a trace of energy fluctuation on the Shadow Island now, which means that the Shadow Island has become a dead island now, right?" A sonorous voice sounded beside Karma, and a tall figure slowly stood up, his face devoid of emotion except for calm.

"Yes, yes. The other party nodded a little stunned, which was exactly what he wanted to say.

"Alright, you go down first. Karma whispered.

"Yes. ”

The soft sound of the door shutting brought a long calm.

"Whew," took a light breath, and a few waves appeared on Karma's face, "Karthus is just right, and he knows how to move." ”

"I don't agree with the idea that Karthas ran away. Jace hung his head, thoughtful, "If he's going to run, there's no way he's going to leave his dead space." ”

"I also feel weird. On the other side of Karma, Soraka nodded, "It's clear that the dead space that Karthhas relies on to sustain energy is still there······"

"It's not like running away, are you suspicious ......?"

"According to Yi, there is only one god on the Valoran continent now......" Sorakadai frowned slightly, "If the source plan is successful, then ......"

"Not bad. And when I first came to Valoran, I gave a continenter there a set of mechanical armor that I had brought from the future. Jace took Soraka's words, "Roughly estimated, there should be at least four god-level beings on the continent. ”

"Hmm. At the mention of the continent, Karma's face sank slightly, and a red shadow appeared in her mind, "So do you think that the three gods missing from the Valoran continent have something to do with the disappearance of Kartha?"

"Although I don't have hard evidence, I think there is a connection. Jace nodded, "Because when I sealed the locked space, I detected a very subtle breath that didn't belong to the dead space. ”

"...... you mean"

"That's the source plan, a very special breath, a breath from the future. ”

"You mean, they disappeared in Dead Space in Karthas?"

"No way. Kalmar affirmatively interrupted this conjecture, "In Dead Space, even the three of us joining forces will never be able to completely wipe out Karthas. ”

"It doesn't have to be against him, maybe for some other reason. Jace smiled, this was the first time he'd seen such an apocalypse, "Anyway, it's certain that 'freedom' and 'union' must have appeared there." ”

"In short, it is better to strengthen the blockade and exploration of the Shadow Island," Karma gradually calmed down, "and we can't relax. ”

"Maybe the storm is just beginning. ”
