Laxana's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

Such a grand appearance, coupled with the colossus of Galio flying high, gives people a great sense of oppression.

That kind girl showed her other side on the stage of the election of the eight officials.

The side as a mage.

"Now that the two sides have arrived, the battle is about to begin."

Tiana stood up from her seat, her tall and straight figure looked even more heroic with the blessing of her huge armor.

At that time, she had a completely solemn look on her face, and walked towards the dueling table step by step.

As Generalissimo de Macia, she was one of the few qualified to preside over the battle.

And, more than the others, she was not afraid of the aftermath of the battle.

"Wait, Generalissimo Tiana."

Hearing this shout, Tiana turned her head without any extra expression:

"Princess Elenor, is there anything wrong?"

Facing the oppressive gaze of Tiana and the people below, Elenor stubbornly said:

"Generalissimo Tiana, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules to bring the forbidden magic stone statue to the competition."

Hearing her words, the citizens of Demacia below booed, and their eyes were strange when they looked at the Light Shield family.

If they remembered correctly, the Intrepid Vanguard Captain Galen, before Laxana arrived, had suggested that both sides should travel lightly, or it would be unfair.

At that time, Prince Jiawen was standing on the platform, wearing the golden armor of the forbidden magic stone, and holding a warrior's halberd... This costume is a little unbearable even for the citizens below.

They remember that it was Elenor who stood up and said that equipment was part of the battle. They want to choose the most powerful mage, not the one with pure magical power.

At that time, her words also attracted the approval of most people.

In other words, the Colossus of Galio is also the combat power brought by Laxana, and those who know that thing know that it consumes a lot of magic to activate.

Elenor simply ignored the clamor of the people, looked at Tiana and said in a heartfelt voice:

"This is different from equipment, the Colossus of Galio is an act of relying on external forces, no one can activate the Colossus alone, and Laxana must rely on the power of other mages. Therefore, we must not lose fairness. ”

Elennor's words can be regarded as the crux of the matter, and the originally one-sided public opinion was immediately divided into two parts, some people continued to support Laxana, and some people opposed the participation of the Colossus Galio in the duel.

Tiana glanced at her faintly and wrote lightly:

"So, Princess Eleno, since you said that activating the Galio Colossus depends on the rest of the mages. Excuse me, where do we have the rest of the mages? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a chill welling up their backs.

The citizens of Demacia subconsciously looked towards the phalanx on the edge of the ring in the grand square, where dozens of people were standing.

Compared to the crowds, their numbers were pitiful, but they were already all the mages under the command of the Minister of Magic.

Moreover, most of them are rookie mages, and they can't even invoke magic power.

As for the Demacians who can use magic...

They weren't qualified to watch the showdown, they were still in the cells of the Legion, waiting for the election to end.

"This—" Eleno was momentarily speechless in the face of Tiana's questioning.

Her eyes were a little flustered, but she said firmly, "Anyway, Laxana must have used someone else's magic. ”

Obviously, in this duel, she didn't want the other party to use the Colossus of Galio.

Otherwise, it's a battle without suspense.

Laxana did not let her aunt speak again, but bowed slightly towards Eleno, behaved decently, and said softly:

"Her Royal Highness Princess Eleno, Galio's activation relied on my magic alone."

She looked at the change in the other party's face, as if she wanted to say something, and Laxana smiled slightly:

"I'm not going to use its power, though. The Colossus of Justice, Galio, is the symbol of Demacia and the most successful magical sculpture made by Master Durang... I activated it just to have it as one of the witnesses. ”

"Besides..."

Laxana paused slightly, turning her gaze to Gavin, who was standing in place and silent:

"His Royal Highness Jiawen is my brother's playmate since childhood, and I will defeat him with dignity."

"I'm so sorry! Lady Laxana, Elenor is here to apologize to you, I just want to see a fair fight. ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, coupled with the scorching sight around her, Elenor directly chose to apologize.

It wasn't until she finished speaking that the disgusted gaze that was looking at her down narrowed a little.

She breathed a sigh of silent relief and returned to her place.

Laxana watched her leave with a smile on her face, without any disturbance, interruption, or questioning in her heart.

She gave her aunt a reassuring look and walked to the center of the platform, waiting for the race to begin.

From the beginning, she didn't draw on Galio's ideas.

In order to shoulder the burden of the country, it is necessary to have convincing supernatural strength.

"Laxana!"

Gavin's cry reached Laxana's ears, and her gaze turned to him with an inquiring look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry that today I didn't observe the virtues of Demacia, but I have reasons why I have to win. Come on, let's see the winner with strength. ”

Gavin bowed apologetically to Laxana and said in a solemn and slow tone.

His right hand clenched the halberd tightly, and his eyes burst with determination.

For Demacia!

For his father!

This battle, he must win!

"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this." Laxana smiled softly, she looked at Gavin and shook her head gently: "In the past, it was my brother who fought against you, and I watched from the side. This time, let me take the place of my brother. ”

Rakshana's words obviously won more favor from the citizens.

If it weren't for the strongest selection requirements of the eight officials, they would definitely vote Jiawen down.

But Galen, who was standing in the stands, had a strange face, and he heard the subtext of Laxana.

In his place... Isn't that just a random fight for Gavin?

Seeing that the two of them were standing up, Tiana pulled out the long sword symbolizing the generalissimo with a "bang" and raised it above her head:

"Now, the showdown for the position of the Minister of Magic of Demacia begins!"

As the long sword in her hand fell, the emotions of the onlookers reached a climax, and they all shouted enthusiastically.

It was also at this time that Jiawen took the lead.

"Drink!"

He let out a loud cry, but stood there with no unnecessary movements.

Suddenly, the ground shook beneath Laxana's feet.

The amplitude of the vibration was not strong, but to her senses, it was as loud as the midnight bell of a church.

Immediately after the tremor, a spike burst out of the ground with a chill.

Laxana was unhurried, still with a calm smile on her face, and the moment the spikes leaped out of the ground, her whole body turned into a dazzling golden light, as brilliant as her blonde hair.

Brush –

The spikes passed through her golden body without resistance, shooting into the air, causing no damage.

Gavin's attack and Laxana's dodging movements were extremely fast, and before the people below could see the scene of lightning, they saw a slender black shadow, which suddenly shot into the air from some direction.

The blinding golden light flickered in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, Laxana's position had moved two steps back.

The crowd instantly erupted in exclamations one after another, even if they couldn't experience the thrill of the battle, they could still feel the suddenness and probing nature of the spike, if they were ordinary people, they were afraid that they would have been pierced through the abdomen by the spike at this time, and blood would be spitting from their mouths.

"Drink! Demacia! ”

Jiawen's momentum skyrocketed, and the streamer on the surface of the golden battle armor loomed.

Knowing that a blow would not work, he did not hesitate at all, and swung his halberd forward neatly, and the clods of earth under his feet suddenly protruded.

The strength of his legs, combined with the thrust of the clods, made his body as fast as a golden whirlwind, and in an instant, he came to the position of the spikes.

At this time, he was no more than 2 meters away from Laxana.

Jiawen's eyes and movements were not merciless, and he swung his halberd with a brush and slashed down coldly and straightly.

A normal mage, the moment he faces a warrior in close proximity, it already means defeat.

Elenno sat in the stands, her red lips unconsciously raised, revealing a victor's smile.

The next moment, however, a smile froze on her face.

In the face of Gavin's galloping halberd, Laxana just calmly stretched out her hand that was not holding the book, and said in a soft voice:

"Bondage of Light!"

"Buzz!"

A ball of light ejected from Laxana's hand, expanding and enlarged, covering Gavin like a bullet casing.

Jiawen didn't have time to react and dodge at all, he was completely enveloped by the light, he frowned fiercely, but he refused to give up the good momentum of the attack at all, his hands and feet moved together, and the halberd stabbed out.

However, it was then that he realized the problem.

Under the light curtain, his movements became extremely difficult, as if glue had stuck to all the joints and muscles, or the whole body and even one finger had fallen into the mire.

Except for his mental senses, which were still functioning normally, all his actions were restricted by this damn ball of light.

And the halberd that Jiawen stabbed earlier seemed to be fixed in the air, and no matter how he gritted his teeth, he couldn't shorten the distance between the two of them, which was only a few inches.

Obviously, the tip of his halberd was only a little bit close to stabbing, but it seemed to be separated by an invisible wall.

Jiawen's eyes were filled with emotions such as incredulity, chagrin, anger, and unwillingness... There was even a hint of trembling in the face of the strong.

"Light is the most fragile thing in the world. But at the same time, it's also the most energetic thing. ”

Laxana raised her arm again, and a ball of light reappeared in her hand, flicking it gently at Gavin.

"Damn it, break free!"

No matter how much Gavin shouted, his body couldn't move as if it didn't belong to him.

He did wear armor made of forbidden stones, but this armor had always been a decoration.

Most of the magic of the bound light was absorbed by the forbidden magic stone, but with the remaining light, he still couldn't even lift a finger.

Jiawen could only watch the ball of light grow bigger, brighter, and dazzling in his eyes with reluctance.

Followed by...

Burst!!!

Boom –

The roar of the light elemental explosion resounded in the middle of the room, the sound was like a loud bang that erupted when thunder, and a strong wind hung towards the periphery, causing most of the audience to take a step back.

Laxana withdrew her hand, and her figure flew gracefully in the opposite direction, as if she had not been affected in any way, and had not made any gesture to take advantage of the victory.

But this explosion alone left the eyes of most citizens wide-eyed. Eleno rose from the stands excitedly and anxiously, and reluctantly sat down at the beckoning of Gavin III's eyes.

With this level of explosion, no one dares to say that their physical body can withstand it.

After the smoke and dust cleared, a hemispherical earth cover appeared where the two of them were standing just now.

The soil cover was tattered, covered with cracks and dust, large and small.

Through the cracked opening, everyone could see that Gavin was unscathed.

Gavin stepped out of the broken dirt cover and looked at Laxana with wariness.

There is no doubt that the other party's magic is stronger than your own.

If he hadn't been wearing the Forbidden Demon Stone armor, he would have been seriously injured a long time ago.

However, he is not without any chances of winning. Obviously, Laxana didn't have much combat experience.

Otherwise, in the face of the situation just now, it is impossible not to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

At that time, as long as there was a shot, the recovery speed of the forbidden magic stone was definitely not enough, enough to injure him.

To miss is to miss, and now... It's his turn.

"Drink!"

Gavin shouted, threw out the halberd in his hand, and flew towards Laxana with the momentum of breaking the army.

Not only that, but at the same time, he clasped his hands together and slapped hard, and the earthy yellow light in his eyes shone brightly.

Boom Boom –

The earth shook around Laxana, and countless clods of earth of various sizes poured inward from all around her, threatening to bury her completely.

Gavin's Atamar's halberd has been infused with a demon-breaking effect by Ruiz, and the little trick of turning light just now will definitely not have any effect.

He stared at Laxana, who was almost uncovered, his eyes full of anticipation.

Laugh at!!!

As he wished, the earth and rocks covered Laxana's location, and the halberd served as a killing blow, piercing through the earth and rocks that had enveloped Laxana.

"It's so ruthless!"

Galen's eyes were filled with anger, almost bursting with anger, if he hadn't seen Laxana all right, he would have wanted to kill Gavin in pieces.

This kind of Jiawen is definitely not the brother he used to be.

Compared with the arena, different from the exclamations below one after another, Jiawen looked around vigilantly with a solemn face.

Earth's perception told him that Atama's halberd hadn't stabbed its target.

"Very good combos, compared to the mage's single long-range means, this kind of magic warrior's means seems to be more suitable for promotion in Demacia."

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in Jiawen's ears, and he couldn't help but shudder, and his face showed great horror.

The distance of the sound, especially close!

Hmmm-

Before he could react with any evasion or dodge, Jiawen felt a chill on his neck, as if a poisonous snake was clinging to it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a flash of golden light, and a sharp sword formed by the condensed light rested on his neck.

"Laxana, you should cut it down!"

As soon as Gawen's words fell, a hard clod of earth appeared in the place of the lightsaber.

Laxana smiled, and without saying anything more or making any more movements, she stepped back lightly.

However, Jiawen's actions at this time attracted everyone's boos and scolding.

What Gavin may not know is that the moment the earth and stone are closed, Laxana has already appeared behind him, and the lightsaber in her hand is directly against the back of his neck, silently.

The exclamation below before was not just his actions, but also the duel he almost lost.

In the eyes of others, Laxana's last voice was exposed, in fact, it was a tactful reminder to admit defeat.

But what is surprising is that Jiawen is not only not strong, but also has no past brightness in his demeanor.

As a referee, Tiana didn't make any action when she saw this scene, just a smile on the corner of her mouth, and quietly watched the game continue.

Gavin didn't realize any of this, and he only thought that he had avoided another possible defeat by taking advantage of Laxana's lack of combat experience.

Iron, Iron, >Iron, Iron

He quickly ran to the fallen Atamar's halberd, pulled it out, and disappeared into the ring.

Facing Jiawen who turned into the duel field, even Tiana, who was the referee, was stunned.

It's not that it's strange that Gawen would do this, but...

This shouldn't be used in Demacia's duel, and they're not Noxus.

Moreover...

In the audience below, a man in a robe suddenly shouted:

"It's cheating! Why are all the arenas you set up with dirt? Light shield guys, you might as well just use the Forbidden Demon Stone to tie up Lord Laxana! ”

His words made the citizens of Demacia react instantly, and they all glanced at the four walls of the high platform with strange expressions.

Jiawen is an earth mage, and the dueling table itself is higher than usual, which makes everyone a little uncomfortable.

And now, Gavin has also dived directly underground, not at all like a Demacian warrior.

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the sound of abuse flew all over the sky.

Laxana tilted her head slightly in frustration and looked to the ground not far to the right.

She didn't expect to do this in order to win Jiawen.

Even if it's an abandoned son of a black rose, you shouldn't use this move...

Laxana frowned, and in the midst of the confusion of her thoughts, a strange thought came to her mind.

Perhaps, it was my aunt's overtures to Noxus that brought Jiawen's actions today?

It may seem to the other party that the current crown guard is more suitable for managing Demacia than the light shield, and... They would love to see an infighting between the two sides...

The thoughts kept fermenting, and the more Laxana thought about it, the more she felt that it was a great possibility.

At this time, she didn't want to play anymore.

Even if the light shield and the crown guard are irreconcilable sooner or later, they should not be as fast as they are now.

She didn't hesitate any longer, and suddenly, her eyes shone with a dazzling golden glow.

The magic book in her hand slowly floated up above her head.

"Light!"

A simple syllable came out of her mouth, short but intimidating.

Immediately afterward, a vast golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the designated area.

Magic poured out of her body.

Her body kept floating upward, and the magic was condensed and formed beneath her.

In the process, strong winds swept outward, forcing everyone to back down.

At this time, even the well-informed Eight Great Officials and the King couldn't help but widen their eyes. Even Tiana's eyes showed surprise.

As for Galen, he watched as the endless stream of golden magic condensed and formed at Laxana's feet, and he didn't know what to say or what expression to use to deal with.

In fact, from just now, his expression has tended to be sluggish and numb, and his mouth is wide open to follow his sister's figure.

This scene may be difficult for him to forget. chaptere
