When the black clouds swallowed up the last rays of light, the night took over the continent of Valoran. At the invitation of the cold rain, the cold wind flew on the scorched earth.

Ike gently placed Cana in the center of the Storm Altar. He took off his mask, and the Freedom armor dissipated, and with a gentle toss of the mask, letting it fade into a bits of light, Ike's black eyes filled with untold pain.

"Jana, I killed Evelyn. I have gained the power of the sky, and you see, how blue the sky is, Jana. ”

Caitlin stood silently. Her beautiful eyes were full of sentimentality and touch, and she gently raised her white hand and stared at it for a long time. It was like a dream. In just a few years, the continent of Valoran was destroyed beyond recognition. And his body has been occupied by Evelyn for so long, if it weren't for these people in front of him, I'm afraid he would continue to be a puppet of the devil.

"We're afraid there's no way to treat her injuries. Ash gently placed Zhao Xin on the altar, and the huge wound on Zhao Xin's body was shocking.

"Why not, why not?" Ike roared unwillingly and angrily, even though he knew why.

"I'm sorry. Muffled words came from Caitlyn's pale lips, her head hanging slightly, her trembling little hands wringing.

Gently stroking Catherine's soft back, Ash sighed softly.

Suddenly, Ike jerked his head up, two rays of light flashed in his eyes, he glanced at the dark and dreary sky, his right hand was clenched, and brilliant green light flickered in his hand. After it was formed, Ike slammed it down, and a green mechanical stick similar to the previous blue mechanical stick appeared in his hand. With the appearance of the Green Mechanical Stick, the "Freedom" Warframe emerged from the green light that covered Ike's body.

"Huh?" Feeling the powerful and terrifying energy on Ike's body, Ash was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously protected Catelyn behind her.

"The barrier of the altar was broken, and someone broke into the altar. Cold words came out of Ike's mouth.

···········

Izawa walked on the soft dirt with a heavy expression. Tariq silently followed him, holding a short hammer that glowed faintly.

"There are traces of a fight here. Izawa paused, and the blue lens in front of his left eye showed him the landscape clearly and comprehensively. Even at night, and with dark clouds dominating the sky, Izawa could see clearly, and even the location of the Eye of the Barrier, the purpose of their trip, was clearly displayed in front of his eyes, "It still looks intense." ”

Nodding, Tariq walked over to Ize, side by side with him.

Moving his lips, Tariq tried to say something, but didn't make a sound. Because two turquoise figures suddenly appeared in front of them. On closer inspection, there was only one person, and the other was only shadowed in the same form as him through the green light. The other party bent slightly, like a lion staring at its prey, and it was possible to pounce on it in the next moment.

"Are you a resident of the mainland?" asked Izawa, blinking his pale yellow eyes, tentatively. The sudden appearance of the person in front of him was very strange, because it was dark and raining, and Tarik couldn't fully see the person's appearance, but Izawa was different, through the blue lens in front of him, although he could see the green armor on the other party's body, but he couldn't analyze its material and properties, which surprised Izawa. This is the first time that such a situation has arisen since he became a future soldier himself.

"Yes. Metallic words came out of Ike's mouth. Izawa was amazed, and so was Ike. Through the green mask, Ike was able to see Ize's armor clearly, but was unable to analyze it. Ike just felt that the aura brought to him by this silver armor was very similar to the "freedom" on his body.

"I am Ezreal, Ezreal the Explorer. Taking a light breath, Izawa said loudly to the person in front of him who didn't know whether he was friend or foe, "Can you come closer and talk?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ike nodded and walked slowly towards Ezreal. After Evelyn's lesson last time, Ike would never recklessly attack anyone who broke into the altar. Although he is now very powerful, Ike believes that blind attacks must not be worth the loss. When he approached Ize, Ike felt that the mechanical armor on his body gave him a similar feeling to "freedom", but it was still very different.

"Do you know Jace, the future guardian?" Ize's inner feeling was almost the same as Ike's, and he stared at the mask and spoke his thoughts.

Shaking his head slightly, the completely unfamiliar name didn't give Ike any familiarity.

"My name is Ike, I don't know any Future Guardians, I'm from Zaun. ”

"I think we can join forces. Unite our forces to fend off the aggressor together. Nodding lightly, Izawa glanced at Ike's green armor, he was saddled with the task given to him by Jace, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would do everything to unite the forces on the continent. Of course, completing Jace's mission is exactly what he wants to do.

Ike was silent for a while, turned his back, he frowned, and said slowly, "If you really want to unite, then come with me." Without knowing the origin of the other party, Ike didn't dare to make judgments, so he decided to take them to the altar, after all, there was still Ash who had the "Source Project" there, and if the other party was really an enemy, he could also deal with it better when the time came.

If the unconscious Cana knew that the impatient Ike had suddenly become so cautious and careful, even if she had a calm personality, she would probably not be surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ike turned into a phantom and flew towards the altar. He wasn't afraid that Izawa and the others wouldn't be able to catch up with him, because he knew that one of them was extraordinary.

"Izawa, that person can be trusted. Tariq frowned, his handsome face with a bit of solemnity and thought.

"Well, let's go along and have a look. Looking at the green figure that was fading away, Izawa said softly.

Tariq is a well-known healer on the Giant God Peak, and he is also well-known on the mainland, he can smell smells that are difficult for ordinary people to smell, and distinguish breaths that are extremely difficult to distinguish. Because the invaders will invade the bodies of the inhabitants of the mainland and control them, in the face of this situation, Ize's "future soldiers" cannot be distinguished, so it is Tariq's judgment of smell that they are able to avoid most of the invaders along the way, break the barrier at a very fast speed, and come to Zuan. Tariq said that the other party was credible, and Ize had already determined that the other party was a resident of the mainland, and that direction was the only way to destroy the barrier, so Ize followed quickly without hesitation.

Tarik gripped the hammer and followed.

The altar wasn't far away, and in just a few moments, Iza and Tariq were on it.

"Are your friends hurt?" Tarik leaned over as he looked at Jana with pale cheeks, green glowing on his fingertips.

Izawa didn't speak, just looked at a few people quietly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and that familiar face brought him a little relief.

"You ......" Ike frowned, trying to slap the big hand that was on Cana's pale face, but Ash blocked it.

Ash shook her head lightly and motioned for Ike to silence herself, as the queen of Freljord, she naturally recognized Tariq at a glance, who was good at healing, and the man in silver armor also gave her a familiar feeling.

Ike snorted softly, clasping his shoulders and staring at the frowning Tariq.

After a long time, Tariq took the glowing green hand off Jana's face, took a light breath, and put his hand on Zhao Xin's face, which seemed to have lost its vitality.

Seeing Tariq take his hand away from Cana's beautiful face, Ike breathed a sigh of relief. After Tariq retracted his light and stood up from Zhao Xin's side, Ike blinked his eager eyes and stood in front of Tariq and said, "Hey, is she still saved?"

"They were all badly injured. But ......," Tarik said slowly, after a long silence.

"But what?" Ike jerked forward and grabbed Tariq's arms, forgetting the discomfort he felt when Tariq touched Jana's face.

"I think I have a way to heal them, and if you believe me, give them to me. ”

"How long will it take for you to wake them up?" Ash asked subconsciously after a pause.

"It can be as short as a few months, as long as years or decades. ”

"As long as you can save Jana, no matter how long you can. Ike had no choice but to trust this unknown person. Because if it drags on any longer, Cana may really leave him, forever.

......

......

"I'm going to break the barrier blocking the continent now, and then gather forces to defend against the invaders, are you willing to help us?" Glancing at Tariq, who had already begun to concentrate on gathering energy and preparing for healing, Ize looked at Ash and Ike with serious eyes, "For our continent, for our homeland." ”

"What do you mean, leaving Jana and them here?" Ike said forcefully, glancing at Ize, clasping his hands tightly, "No, I don't agree. ”

"How can we trust you?" thought to herself, although she really wanted Zhao Xin to wake up, but in the face of this completely strange and powerful man in front of her, she had to be vigilant, after all, the invaders' minions were still all over here, and there were no shortage of mainland residents who had sold their souls.

"Just because I'm Ezreal. The silver mechanical armor gradually became illusory in the brilliant white light, and a familiar face appeared in front of Ash, "Your Majesty, long time no see. ”

......

......

"Ash, can we really trust him?" Looking at the silver figure in front of him, Ike frowned uneasily, "I'm really worried about Cana and leaving them alone at the altar...... Why don't I go back and see, soon. ”

"Rest assured. Glancing at the neurotic Ike, Ash smiled, "They'll be fine, I can assure you in my name as Queen Freljord, Ezreal the Explorer, we can absolutely believe it." And doesn't the altar have a barrier that we have put together? with our current strength, unless the leader of the invaders is there, they are not in danger. ”

"But I ......" nodded as Ike tried to say something, but was interrupted by a heavy breaking sound.

Silver lightning lingered in the air and began to flutter in the dry air with a fierce momentum.

"The blockade of the mainland by the aggressors has been completely broken. Now, it's time for us to counterattack. "In the light of day, a tall figure dragged a long, long shadow.
