The mutation came too suddenly, and Lester and Yuzuki killed several monsters before they found the spirit of the defenses that were organizing a defense line to resist.

With Lingjue's fame and organizational ability, it was enough to gain the support of the martial artists present, not to mention that there were already dozens of powerful martial artists who agreed with the concept of guarding balance and were willing to follow Lingjue to maintain the balance between the two worlds.

Lester is also officially connected with the man who is suspected to be the first [Twilight Eye], and Doron, who is wielding a sword to slay the spirit, also noticed Lester, and after frowning, he found that the ice long knife in Lester's hand is somewhat similar to the shape of his own 'sword', both of which have the arc-shaped structure of [Jinganti].

"Can you take someone to the spiritual realm? Take me inside, and I should be able to find the culprit behind all this. ”

Before the soul blade could be slashed, the mutant monster was split in two by a long arc-shaped knife condensed by the ice element, and this time, the template for Lester's weapon was a standard Japanese fighting knife. Ionia also has this style, so it doesn't seem obtrusive.

The dead monster turned into ashes, and soon reunited under the Blooming Spirit Tree, and pounced on the others again.

In a world between the spiritual and material realms, the energy of ghast resurrection is endless and of unknown origin.

Lingjue looked at the two people who joined the battlefield, his eyes paused on Xiyue's body, and finally fixed on the man, his face was very solemn.

Compared to the Misty Hidden Descendants who he had been preparing to invite to join the Guardian of Balance, at this moment he cared more about the Noxian warrior Liszt who could prevent the disaster and restore the balance between the two realms.

"Do you know what caused the mutation?"

"I'm not sure, but I know what it is, you should know about shadow mages, right?"

Lingjue nodded, as the eldest son of the Ekatiu family, of course he knew this secret from decades ago.

In the middle of the Rune Wars, a group of crazy mages thought of a way to dodge the Rune Wars, they merged into the shadows, completely abandoned the physical body in the material realm, and brought their madness to the calm shadow realm, destabilizing the soul realm.

Under the influence of the shadow magic of the soul realm, the human nature of the material world has become more cruel and murderous, and the methods of war have become more and more cruel, and finally the soul realm has been fed, creating a terrible demon born of human fear and killing emotions.

No one knows how this demon was born, but all the shadow mages understand that since the moment the shadow demon was born, he has been on the list of lifelong hunts, and soon the demon killed all the shadow mages hiding in the soul realm, and set his sights on the shadow mages in the material realm.

When he was in Navoli, he was approached by many shadow mages, who wanted to gain the protection of the Ekatius family and him, but unfortunately in the face of the shadow demons who did not know the roots, Lingju had no choice but to refuse.

After all, he could only shuttle through the spiritual realm, and he still didn't know anything about the more mysterious soul realm, and he didn't know what to do at all.

"You know, then I won't talk about it more, I suspect that this disaster is that the shadow demon is at work, it invaded the spiritual realm through the soul realm, and invaded the material realm through the Blooming Spirit Tree, which is closely connected to the spiritual realm, and its ultimate goal is to invade the material realm."

After a moment's thought, Reijue nodded.

So far, he has no other better guesses.

"What you say makes sense, what do you need me to do?"

"Send me into the spiritual realm, and find it with me."

"What about after you find it? How are we going to defeat him? Do you have any good ideas? ”

"You should consider what you can do, after all, the arcane soul blade is in your hands."

Without a direct response, the spirit looked at the battlefield.

It seems that the people who have the upper hand are slaughtering ghasts, but the situation is actually very bad.

The dead ghast will come back to life again, and the enchantment that envelops it around it will still be as strong as before, and if it continues like this, when everyone's strength is exhausted, then it will really be cornered, and the whole army will be destroyed.

"Okay, I'll take you in, but there are two ways to enter the spiritual realm, if I am alone, the body can also enter, but if I bring you, I can only enter through the soul body, wait a minute, I will make some arrangements."

Seeing Lingjue leave, Lester also found Yuzuki, who was fighting.

"It may not be convenient for me here for a while, and my body will be handed over to you."

"Okay."

Without saying anything, after killing the ghast five meters away with a flying scythe, the female warrior gave the man a hug.

"Until I die, I will protect you."

[I, too, protect, you. 】

A soft, ethereal voice came from the mind,

Lester was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he still had a small blue bird on his head.

……

"I'm going too."

"No way, I can only take one person."

After arranging the matter, Lingjue was about to return to Lester when he saw the swordsman he had pulled in front of him and refused to give in.

After a little thought, Lingjue understood the purpose of the swordsman.

"The Blooming Spirit Flower has withered, if you want to find your deceased relatives by entering the spiritual realm, it is simply impossible, the Blooming Spirit Flower itself has the effect of attracting souls, without the Blooming Spirit Flower, your master's soul can't find it here at all."

Staggering back two steps, Doron only felt his body's strength completely drained.

This year...... He failed again......

We'll have to wait another year...... Is it?

Without much time to comfort the dejected swordsman in front of him, he patted Doron on the shoulder, and Lingjue quickly walked over to Lester and sat down cross-legged.

Lester sat down as well.

Lingjue said in a deep voice.

"The way I enter the spiritual realm is through spiritual concentration, and if ordinary people want to enter concentration, they must let their consciousness be completely empty, forget all their desires, transcend the shackles of the real world, and let their energy be concentrated on a higher level.

In my opinion, balancing the two worlds is the spiritual principle that I have to pursue all my life, so my standard is to balance the spiritual realm and the material realm, and as long as my attention can resonate with the spiritual realm, I can let my spirit leave the material realm and enter the spiritual realm...... Can you understand a little bit? ”

"I understand, what you mean is that as long as you forget about the ego and the ego and pursue the superego with all your might, you can reach the realm of spiritual resonance and enter the spiritual realm."

Psychic: "??? The id, the ego, the superego? What do you mean? ”

"You just need to understand, I already understand what you mean."

Because of Ogman's death, Lester, who was not in the mood to preach, did not talk to the philosopher Lingjue of the Runeterris about the psychoanalyst Freud's theory of mental structure.

"Okay, take my hand and try to settle down, you can imagine yourself eager to fight to balance the two realms."

The two sat facing each other, holding hands and closing their eyes.

Xiyue put away the blood-stained scythe and came to Lester's side, and took a look at Doron who took the initiative to protect Lingjue's side.

The two didn't speak, just quietly guarded the two men's side, looking at the two men holding hands from time to time, and their feelings were a little complicated.

……

If the ide is the most basic desire that all human beings have, and the ego is the consciousness responsible for modifying and suppressing desires, then the superego is the most crucial part that truly governs the actions of the body.

Different from the [superego] moral standards of normal people, Lester, as an elite killer who has been cultivated by the organization, his [superego] has always been based on his own desire standards, not the result of socialization, and whether the moral code and social code that can bind normal people will take effect on Lester only depends on whether Lester has to violate it.

If it is necessary to run a red light, he will run, and if it is necessary to kill in public, he will kill without the slightest hesitation.

He doesn't consider the interference factors other than his own goals and the goals of the organization, which is the main reason why he can stand out and become an ace, in the organization, there are many killers with excellent skills and assassination skills, but killers who can do what they want and really use their own abilities to override society and the law with ease are rare in the organization, and only people like Lester can become real trump cards.

Naturally, Lester has a very clear standard for the superego, and when he has not been betrayed by the organization and still serves the organization, his life value is to complete the tasks assigned by the organization at all costs, and everything else is not a problem.

Leicester, who was betrayed and unexpectedly came to the Land of Runeterra, has a new standard.

In his previous life, he was raised by the organization, and the organization had the grace of knowing and nurturing him, and he was willing to dedicate everything to the organization.

But in this life, the organization is a thing of the past, and a betrayal is enough to erase all the kindness and bonds between him and the organization.

He will never allow anyone to be above himself, and whatever he does, he must do it of his own will.

This is his superego, a kind of life goal and spiritual goal with complete rules, and he wants to be the master of his own life.

In order to achieve this, he will do whatever it takes to make himself stronger, just as he did in his previous life, and only a strong enough ability can allow him to live his own outlook on life, without being influenced or dominated by anyone.

This is his own arrogance.

Having already had the experience of meditation, Lester easily went into a state of concentration and kept his consciousness in the superego.

Lingjue was about to guide Lester's consciousness to get closer to the spiritual side, but he was shocked to find that the spiritual will possessed by the man named 'Liszt' was like a vast ocean surging towards him, and he didn't have time to react at all, and the spiritual frenzy that swept away the soul of Lingjue from the body [washed] out, making Lingjue cool underneath, like a column of water that had been held for a long time was discharged, and there was a sense of uncontrollable excitement.

Immediately afterward, Lingjue, who had turned into a soul body, looked at Lester who had come to the Ionian spiritual realm with him with a bewildered expression, and opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound, like a land salted fish.

With such a strong spiritual power, is this still human?

The surrounding environment is like Picasso's abstract works, various colors and sketches form the outlines of various affairs, and things that were not connected in the material realm are also connected, the most dazzling is the blooming spirit tree located in the distance, constantly erupting powerful spiritual energy,

There are many twisted spirit phantoms formed by grass, trees, stones, and human evil thoughts, and they are roaring with teeth and claws, as if they are fighting the others in the material realm.

Lester found that after the ghasts with fierce appearances and heavy tones, like human-faced demons, after they died, they would follow the [light belt] connected to the Blooming Spirit Tree behind their backs, turn into a gray streamer and return to the spiritual frenzy of the Blooming Spirit Tree according to the movement trajectory of the light band to reshape their bodies again, which is why the ghast can be resurrected infinitely.

The connection that you can't see in the physical realm can be seen in the spiritual realm, and it's a wonderful feeling.

It stands to reason that as long as the connection between the ghast and the Blooming Spirit Tree in the spiritual realm is severed, it should be able to prevent the ghast from coming back to life again.

"You seem to have any doubts?"

Lester looked at his condensed dark blue soul body, and took the initiative to approach the spiritual sense that was much darker and more transparent than himself, and he found that he was not the same as the spiritual body, but the vague and distorted expression of the spiritual sense made him not sure if he had an illusion.

"No, no problem, this is the spiritual realm, any fluctuations in the spiritual realm will have a corresponding impact on the material realm, which is also an important reason why I want to balance the two worlds, if someone hurts the Blooming Spirit Tree in the spiritual realm, the Blooming Spirit Tree in the material realm will also be irreversibly damaged, and the balance between the two worlds needs to be maintained."

"Stop preaching your way of equilibrium, we should say something useful."

"The way of balance, the way of balance...... You're right, equilibrium should be the Tao, and my concept of equilibrium should be the Tao......"

Pointing to the volcano-shaped energy hub formed by the Blooming Spirit Tree, Lingjue said in a deep voice.

"Now that the spirits and ghasts in the spiritual realm are wreaking havoc in the material realm, we can move freely, do you think that demon will hide on the side of the Blooming Spirit Tree?"

"Those bands of light that link the ghast are all from the Blooming Spirit Tree, and if the demon wants to do his hands and feet, he can only do it on the Blooming Spirit Tree, let's go over and take a look."

As the two were talking, a shadow hidden in the Blooming Spirit Tree flashed away, and more than a dozen gray humanoid spirits were peeled out of the color cluster of the Blooming Spirit Tree, each holding a different weapon, and rushed towards the two without hesitation as soon as they appeared.

"We were discovered! Hide behind me! ”

Lingjue's face changed, and he quickly came to the vicinity of his physical body, and there were words in his mouth, and soon, the phantom [Arcane Soul Blade] became clearer and clearer, from the material realm to the spiritual realm,

The Sacred Artifact, inherited from his family, is the only weapon he has to walk in the spiritual realm.

"Spiritual realm, spiritual realm, what weapons can I have in the spiritual spiritual realm?"

Seeing that the Psychic Sense had already fought with most of the Shadow Spirits, and looking at the other Shadow Spirits who were getting closer and closer, Lester suddenly thought of something.

"Demon, if Moteng is a demon that can shuttle between the soul realm and the spirit realm at will, then can Evelyn also do it, or become my weapon?"
