Chapter 299 Acacia
After thinking about it for a while, Lester still didn't ask about Acacia's mage of destruction, after all, the inheritance of others is in his own hands, in case Jax, who misses his homeland, suddenly asks for it, he is really difficult to deal with, and he can't return what he has cultivated for a long time to Jax.
Unbeknownst to him, the man who inherited the legacy of a certain mage destroyer from his hometown was right in front of him, Jax said in a deep voice.
"In this way, in the dissatisfaction of the Acacia, the Shurima people ruled Acacia for hundreds of years, and Acacia tried to integrate himself into the Shurima Empire, and after several joint battles, Acacia wanted to make the bravest soldiers of his country become the ascendants of Shurima,
As long as Acacia's warriors pass through and become a member, Acacia's national status can be improved.
Having their own Ascendant deliberately made Acacia's own people no longer be bullied, but unfortunately, the Shurima Empire never agreed to this most humble and simple request, the imperial family just squeezed everything in Acacia as a matter of course, using the servant army formed by the Acacians as a consumable on the battlefield, in their opinion, the death of a thousand Acacians is not worth letting the omnipotent Ascendant take a shot, even if it is just a matter of unraveling their hands, they are more willing to let a thousand Acacians die.
Resistance, compromise, and even numbness have no effect, Acacia is still Acacia, a client state that has been bullied and dominated by the Shurima Empire, but fortunately, although the backbone has been broken, the flame of the will to resist has never been extinguished.
Inheriting the hatred, Sejax is gifted, no matter what weapons and combat concepts he learns, he can quickly integrate and master them thoroughly, he does not get lost in the praise of those around him, but instead learns more diligently everything that can make him strong, and seeks an unrealistic way to defeat the Shurima Empire.
The clan elders of Acacia, the weapon masters of Shurima, and even the rainforest realms that are also dominated by the Shurima Empire, all of them are Sejax's teachers, but unfortunately, Sejax, who has a talent for fighting and learning, has no talent for magic, which is the only thing Sejax regrets, he can't even rub a fire with his hands. ”
Jax glanced at the four eyes on the left side of his face, and Lester shrugged helplessly, and in order to prevent the roasted rabbit leg from turning into a carbon rabbit leg, he had to put the roast rabbit leg that began to flow from the wooden branch into his mouth.
"The turning point came when Sejax was twenty-three years old.
A terrible earthquake occurred in the southwestern coastal provinces, the earth cracked, and the living villagers passed the news to the elders of the Council of Acacia with the pain of their lost relatives, and heard that there was some kind of extraordinary dark power under the cracks in the ground, and the elders who were moved by the power sent a group of mages to Saabra to investigate what was underground, and as one of the most powerful young warriors in Acacia, Sejax successfully became one of the guardians of the mage group. ”
Tearing off a rabbit's leg as well, Jax tore at the rabbit's flesh with his broken purple teeth and continued.
The mage team soon found the location of the crack, a small village close inland, and the grief of the deceased had not yet dissipated from the village.
The crack in the ground is like a huge funnel, the deeper it goes, the narrower it becomes, but no matter how narrow it is, it is enough for a dozen people to pass side by side, like an endless abyss......
After descending for more than half an hour, the mage group found that the chaotic magic element could no longer provide stable lighting, guessing that the power in the crack in the ground could suppress the magic element, all the mages became excited, because it meant that as long as it was used properly, this mysterious power was likely to become a deadly weapon to defeat the powerful magic of the Ascension,
Without powerful magic, even the most powerful Ascendant is only a mortal...... That's what everybody thinks.
Looking at the companions around him who had suddenly become fanatical, Sejax had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, such an emotion that he had only seen on the faces of those crazy black mages, and should not have appeared on sane white mages and determined warriors.
After a brief discussion, the investigation team took local materials, made a dozen torches out of clothes and regular oil, and continued to dig down.
The investigation team soon came to the crevice, the dark purple earth rock that had never been seen before shimmered with an unsettling light, and a dark crack about a meter long and twenty centimeters wide was just below the purple earth rock, and a strange power rose from the crack in the form of flames, emitting a lilac light......
It's not so much a purple flame as a purple phantom that wriggles, like an octopus's tentacles. ”
Lester swallowed the last piece of roast without moving, and put down the twig in his hand, he was very interested in the void in Jax's mouth.
Jax said to himself, still on his own.
"Outside of the purple living phantom, the mages can hardly perceive the breath of any magical elements, this discovery made all the mages ecstatic, after many repeated experiments, the mage group proved that this living phantom rising from the crack in the purple earth rock has the property of devouring magical elements, as long as the purple phantom can be obtained enough to be stable, Acacia can arrange a battlefield of forbidden demons, pull the high ascendant to the level of ordinary people, so that the sword is difficult to hurt, and the magic is difficult to break the body to become a mortal body.
As long as there is no omnipotent Ascend Regiment, the people of Acacia will not fear any war...... Everyone thought so, how to bring this purple phantom back to the Acacia Council became the first problem, but fortunately, the accompanying magician thought of using the magic crystal brought by the torch staff to forcibly build an elemental shield, and use the elements to imprison the purple phantom.
As long as they fed the purple phantom with enough magical elements, they were able to use the torch staff to transfer this magical energy, and in fact, they did it, successfully bringing the evil creature from the abyss to the elders of the Council of Acacia, giving the evil creature and the power it represented a unique name of its own. ”
"The Void."
The cold and heartless words drifted away with the wind, and Lester's voice echoed through the vibrant cloud forest, and for a moment, the sound of insects and birds in Jax's ears dimmed, and in the depths of the woods, he seemed to see once again the culprits who destroyed Acacia.
It was a dark purple of nothingness, full of powerful void monsters that swore to slaughter the entire world.
“…… That's right, the Void. ”
After eating, Jax put on a porous iron mask again and wrapped his face with strips of cloth.
Regardless of Lester's own opinions, Jax himself hated exposing his face.
Or wear a mask to make him feel more comfortable.
"Through the development and research of the power of the Void, the mages of Acacia determined that the Void has the special ability to devour magical elements and guide matter to produce mutations, and it is clear that this unknown power is too dangerous, but no one cares about this, because there are mages who claim to be able to communicate with the Void, as long as they follow the steps of the Void to perform a ritual, the Void will fall from the sky and help the people of Acacia defeat the army of the Shurima Empire.
Although Sejax had a bad premonition as early as when he came into contact with the Void, the hatred for the Shurima Empire in his heart still made him have a fluke mentality, even if it is uncontrollable, as long as he can defeat the Ascended Ones and let Acacia escape from the rule of the Shurima Empire, in Sejax's opinion, it is worth paying some casualties, because the people of Acacia have waited for too long, so long that there are many heroes who can't hold it down and continue to watch coldly give their lives. ”
"Soon, Sejax was immersed in hatred for the Shurima Empire,
Acacia received the power of the Void, and the Council began a further purge operation,
First, a respected mage elder was re-elected as the new Aicasia mage king, and Kauali was re-established as the arch guard mage king.
Then, in the name of 'rebelling against the invaders', he killed most of the Shurima in Acacia, and even those traitors who submitted to Shurima, Sejax was immersed in the joy of victory, and with the help of Kauali, Sejax used his powerful martial arts to kill a proud and complacent ascendant,
There is no more inspiring news than the great fact that the Ascended Warrior of the Shurima Empire has become a corpse in the border city, and all the Aycasia people are crazy, and everyone dreams of breaking free from the slavery and oppression of the Shurima Empire, and longs to rebuild the glory of ancient Acacia.
There is no doubt that such a move completely annoyed the Shurima Empire, and the Ascension Regiment arrived as scheduled, and the villages of Acacia that had not yet had time to evacuate along the way were bloodied under the slaughter of the Shurima Legion.
The war was at its most brutal from the beginning, and Sejax and his brothers Kauali faced each other in the northern wilderness, staining the land with blood into scarlet clay, and it was easy to pick up drops of blood if they fished a handful.
As more and more soldiers died in Acacia, and the battle ahead was on the verge of collapse, the archmage in charge of power obtained the consent of Elder Kauali, and several mages began to follow the instructions of the Void, set up the crystal circle, and instilled their power into the void located at the core of the circle. ”
Picking up the lamppost that never left his hand, Jax seemed to be able to see the dim glow of the fire inside the sealed lamppost.
That was the hope in his heart.
More than 2,000 years later, only the Void was born when it disappeared, and although he didn't know what this unquenchable flame was, he knew that this flame that could annihilate the Void energy was the strongest weapon against the Void creatures.
The fact that I was able to live from 2,000 years ago to the present has a lot to do with the Eternal Flame.
"Maybe centuries have passed, or maybe it's just a breath of time, and disaster has struck without warning,
At the moment when the formation took effect, a pillar of dark purple light that pierced the sky rose from the ground and shot into the deep sky, with the circle as the core, the light that split all matter tore the earth, and instantly annihilated the mage who presided over the circle with the magic crystal.
Immediately afterward, a terrible ray fell from the sky directly through the surface of the earth, from the distant astral plane, to the abyssal rift of Saabora, and the underground rift exposed by the earthquake exploded directly.
The passage of the void was completely opened, and countless purple phantoms erupted from the cracks in the abyss of the cracked Saabola like catkins and dandelions, and flew into the sky, as if they were self-conscious, and sprinkled over the entire land of Acacia,
All the creatures contaminated by the void have undergone extremely terrifying mutations, whether it is birds and beasts or flowers, birds, fish and insects, even with the tall humans, any living creature that touches the void quickly changes to the form of deformed monsters, and because the survivability and combat ability of insects are the most powerful, after fighting, most of the insect-type void creatures survived, and gained more powerful attack and thinking ability, and the void creatures transformed into humans could not resist the attacks of insect creatures at all, Soon they were all dead, and in the evolutionary war of the Void, humanity was defeated. ”
Nodding somewhat, Lester didn't answer.
With a sigh, Jax's body stiffened a little.
"On the battlefield, even the omnipotent Ascendants have witnessed the terrible scenes of their companions being infected by the Void, and after killing most of the Ascendants, the Ascendant warriors who are high above have abandoned the mortals and mages of the Shurima Legion and fled the land of Acacia alone, and the irony is that the Aycasias have won the war against the invasion, but they have lost the entire country and the people who love her,
In less than a day, Acacia's land had been reduced to a lair of Void creatures, and if it weren't for the Ascended Ones resisting the Void Formation's defenses, even the Shurima Empire and Ishtar would not have been able to escape the poison.
Sejax escaped from the flying Void Shadow with great difficulty, and with his superb combat skills, he dodged the attack of the Void creatures, but even so, he was corrupted by the power of the Void, and his life gradually withered on the path of mutation, and later, even the Void creatures thought he was a companion and stopped attacking Sejax. ”
Jax looked down at his three ugly purple fingers, and his voice lowered a little.
He blamed himself for coming to the pit that summoned the void, looking at the devastation, remembering the first void he had seen in the cracks under Saabra, he took out his short sword with difficulty, the short sword reflected his ugly face, he pressed the short sword to his throat, he wanted to end his life in repentance, he did not want to become a monster of the void, he wanted to atone for his sins in the simplest way,
He's no longer a warrior, he's just a coward.
He regretted that he had not listened to his instincts and left the mages affected by the Void with the Void under the rift that did not see the light of day, he regretted that he did not stop the Investigation Team halfway and let the Investigation Team put the Void in front of the Council Elders, he regretted that he had not been able to undo it sooner, he regretted that he had the power to stop this, but he watched it happen and ended up burying the whole of Acacia......"
There was silence for about three minutes, and seeing that Jax was still immersed in indescribable sadness, Lester lowered his eyes and took the initiative to take Jax's ugly right hand and grasp the dark purple rough finger.
Jax's body trembled, and he looked at the man who took the initiative to hold his right hand in disbelief, and the lamppost in his left hand fell to the ground with a 'poof', still unaware of it.
