Chapter 19: The Truth

"Don't scream, I'm not dead yet, pull me up."

Adul said angrily to Klaus, who was yelling and screaming.

But Klaus still couldn't believe it.

"Are you really Adur? Not something else? ”

With Klaus's help, Adur stood up, the golem was drained of its magic and turned to dust, and Skarna fled, leaving no loot to speak of.

In this way, Klaus supported Adur, and Zelas carried Azir, everyone was already exhausted, and now they just wanted to go back to the city to rest and report back what was going on.

This can be regarded as an explanation for this trip.

"Hey, are you here?"

But things may not be as rosy as they imagined, and a blue hole suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and a tall, yellow-haired woman walked out of the hole.

Although she said witty words, her strange horizontal eyes and cold tone vividly expressed the word "bad person".

This portal looks at Adur's PTSD is about to be committed, for fear that the next crisp "brain jump" will make everyone die on the spot.

Now Adur's state is somewhat similar to when he first crossed over, and he is in a run-in stage with this theoretical new body, and the whole is a powerless detachment.

The person who came was none other than Maisha, the host of the Twilight Star Spirit.

Twilight Starling's unique appearance is still not mistaken by Adur, even though Adur and Maiisa have never met in their lives, but at first glance Adul recognizes this woman.

Otherwise, if she was afraid of something, Mai Yisha condensed a ball of star energy in her hand, and she threw the ball around carelessly, but her eyes never left the four of them.

Or rather, he never left Adur.

Zelas's eyes were also full of shock and worry, although he couldn't see the trajectory of the magic in the air, the magic orb in Maisha's hand had obviously distorted the surrounding environment.

As long as you are not blind, you can feel the terrifying magic contained in this orb.

In other words, Maisha could smash the Crystal Scar mountain with a single ball whenever she wanted to.

The master or the legend of the legend?

But the Empire's Ascendants may not be able to do so.

Zelas already wanted to lie down, and it was already a miracle that everyone could escape the sky when dealing with a golem.

Looking at Adur's appearance, even if he still has a back hand, I'm afraid he won't be able to use it.

All that was left for Zelas was the bitterness in his heart.

Maybe this is fate?

"I've felt the fluctuations in energy from afar, but no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like you're causing it, right? What kind of good thing are you, give me Kangkang,"

Mai Isa felt the fluctuation of star energy at the Giant God Peak, and she was curious about who else in the Rune Continent could trigger star energy today.

The star spirits are all repairing at the Giant God Peak, could it be that they are the ones who left behind, and these mortal empires also have the means to use star energy independently?

Under the influence of curiosity, Maisha came to the land of runes after a long absence, but after discovering that the source of the energy fluctuation was the four people in front of her, Maiisha suddenly lost any interest.

Especially when she found out that the source of everything was the familiar bandage, she regretted her trip this time.

"Why is this broken bandage, why is that little man still not giving up, doing some annoying things every day."

A star force emanated from Maisha's body and acted on Adur's body, and Adur floated under the influence of this force, and the bandage was also separated from Adur's body by this force, exposing it to everyone's vision.

Immediately after, that terrifying orb moved!

In the desperate eyes of everyone, the magic ball flew straight over, even if this magic ball was gorgeous, everyone had no time to appreciate it.

"Bye little man, you're unlucky, but I'm right, hee-hee."

With Maisha's sneering words, the orb landed on the bandage, and the bandage broke with it.

Adur even felt that something was missing from his life, and that something important had left him like this.

Thinking of Maisha's words, Adur also had a bold guess.

Could it be that this bandage is really alive?

The mummy of death Amumu has been lodged in this bandage?

'So you saved me, Amumu? ’

Adur could only leave doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect to receive a memory.

But now is not the time to recall carefully, the explosion of the magic ball was precisely controlled on the bandage by Maisha, and the energy did not overflow in the slightest.

However, the huge impact did not restrain Maisha, and slammed the four of them down on the stone wall on the side.

It's like a joke.

A joke from the Twilight Spirit.

However, this kind of teasing is not comfortable for Adur and the others, especially when their own life and death depend on the mood of the other party, and that feeling of uneasiness makes Zelas realize for the first time that power is so important.

"I hope you'll like the way I say hello, don't be so naughty next time to get my attention, goodbye my new friend, someone is coming to pick you up."

Maiisa opened the doorway back to the Giant God Peak as she spoke, and before leaving, she didn't forget to wink mischievously at everyone.

But it's not cute at all!

On the contrary, it makes people feel a chill.

But fortunately, everyone can take a breath and be glad that they are alive again.

"I'm back! How's it going, miss me? ”

But the portal in front of him seemed to say that things were not so easy to end, and Maisha's figure jumped out of the portal again, giving everyone a 'small' star spirit shock.

But Maisha also missed a face, which may have been the real interest, just to see how panicked they looked.

After making sure that Maiisa hadn't returned, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zelas was about to ask how Adur was feeling, and the destruction of the bandage had affected him much.

But in the distance, search and rescue personnel from the Empire had spotted them, and Zeroth swallowed his words, handing Adur a concerned look.

"It's here, that's where the explosion came from, look at the people there!"

With the exclamation of the search and rescue team, a group of people surrounded them, including their mentor Baf.

Bafu looked at Adur and then at Azir, and after making sure that Azir was still alive, his face turned a little, and he muttered quietly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

In this way, Adur finally ended his journey full of twists and turns, and was carried on a stretcher under the examination of the scholars.

The priests of the royal family also rushed over, and they chose to go their separate ways with the search and rescue team.

The priests are to bring Azir and Adur, the titular royalty, back to the City of the Sun for treatment, and the search and rescue team will continue to see if there are any survivors in the crystal traces.

Zelas and Klaus were not seriously injured, and were guarded by specialized personnel and stayed where they were.

Back in the city after a long absence, Azir's injuries could only be treated with the eaux-de-vie, and Adul's injuries were not serious.

Although Adul was eager to go with the priests, he was sent back to his dormitory to recuperate.

The water of life is a good thing, and Adul naturally has plans to see it, maybe there is a chance to completely awaken Amumu's consciousness?

In a sense, the water of life is also a gift from the star spirits.

It is able to quickly heal people's wounds in a short period of time, and restore the body to its optimal state, which is one of the companions of the solar disk.

It appeared with the creation of the solar disk, and may also represent the high hopes of the star spirits for Shurima.

With the fall of the Shurima Empire, the eaux-de-vie were gone.

But now, the eaux-de-vie that Calista and Foyego and others have been begging for are in the hands of the Shurima royal family.

This thing is a whole river that brings life to Shurima.

Each successful Ascension ritual enriches the eaux-de-vie and creates an endless oasis for Shurima.

With it, the outstanding generals of the empire can put aside their worries and fight the battlefield to serve the country.

The only thing the emperor fears is aging, and as long as there is a breath in the water of life, you will not die completely.

This is the confidence of Shurima's hegemony.

But Adur's little abacus obviously didn't work, and he could only return to the dormitory to recuperate under the arrangement of the priests.

All he could do now was get used to the body as soon as possible, but it didn't stop him from accepting the memories from Amumu.

"Latecomer, I may not be gone by the time you read this memory of mine.

My name is Amumu, you may have heard my name, and I have the blood of Shurima's founding royal family in my veins.

But that doesn't matter, I hope you'll make good use of my body.

I don't know how long the outside world has passed, but I've had enough of the loneliness.

My greatest wish in life is to kill the Twilight Star Spirit Maisha who ruined me, please remember this name, and if you can, help me stab her in the heart as my greeting.

I still can't let go of the fact that a ridiculous experiment made me what I am now.

What bullshit guardians, fuck the titan peak, fuck the star spirits.

She poured star energy and the void into me, and kept me alive with the water of life, just for her ridiculous experiments!

They are the greatest guardians of the thieves, pathetic mortals who claim to be higher beings, but beasts who have gained power.

They can't even harness their own strength!

Later, my consciousness has probably dissipated, and I hope this bandage can help you.

My last will, even if my soul is broken into thousands of pieces, I will not give up my revenge on her.

This bandage is immortal, maybe you've discovered its powers, it looks evil, but it doesn't matter, there's nothing more evil than those star spirits.

Maisha's experiment may have been successful, but the product of the experiment was not me, but the bandage. It is in a special equilibrium of starlight and the void, constantly dying and resurrecting.

I'm going to have a new consciousness with the bandage when I'm gone, I'm not sure what kind of attitude it will have towards you, I just hope you can live and drag those damned star spirits off the throne. ”

Adur's heart was mixed for a while, and he didn't expect to get so much information about the star spirit from Amumu's memory.

He could feel Amumu's anger and also experienced Amumu's loneliness.

No one knows the origin of the star spirits, and no one has ever set foot in the heavenly realm that is said to belong to the star spirits.

The surviving star spirits are all possessed by human beings, just like Maisha.

A pathetic mortal who was approved by the star spirit by chance, but was powerless to control the star spirit.

Adur moved his arm slightly, trying to hold the bandage in his hand.

The previous bandages would begin to plunder the moment they touched the object, accumulating all the energy frantically.

But now that Adul was holding the bandage, nothing had happened.

The bandage is indeed dead, but there is hope that it will come back to life.

In the "last words" left by Amumu, it is said that it is immortal, and as long as it is given enough energy, it may be revived.

Resuscitating the bandage was something that Adul had to do, even if the bandage made him self-conscious, after all, the bandage had already saved his life.

If nothing else, this "resurrection armor" is too useful in the land of rune, and Adul has no reason to give up the bandage.

Moreover, the existence of the bandage was created due to the conflict between the starlight and the void energy, which made Adul think of another being, the Darkspawn.

The Darkspawn does not exist in this era, and their predecessors were the proud Ascended of the Shurima Empire.

However, after the Void War, the Ascendant was also infected by the Void's energy.

With the fall of Shurima, the Ascendants lost the last pillar of their psyche.

They fought together for the revival of Shurima, causing serious harm to the Land of Runeterra.

Their name changed from the Ascended to the Darkborn, a contempt for these former Guardians and now Destroyers.

Their flesh is eroded by the Void, and the life that comes with Ascension keeps them in this world.

Perishe, corrodes, and then recovers.

The most typical and similar example is Aatrox.

He drew flesh and flesh to create a new body for himself, which seemed to be no different from the way Adur came back to life.

Aatrox's flesh has been corroding, and his vigorous vitality has kept his body recovering.

Even if a mortal's flesh and blood reach its limit, he can reshape another body to make himself active again.

Adur felt more and more that his relationship with the bandages was somewhat similar to that of the Darkspawn.

Wouldn't he be the first Darkspawn himself?

However, in the War of the Darkspawn, the Darkspawns were sealed into weapons by humans using methods taught by the astral spirits.

Thinking about it this way, Adur felt that the existence of the star spirit could not be ignored.

As long as he is alive, the threat of the astral spirits will never go away.

Aatrox was sealed in his greatsword, and Raast was sealed in his scythe.

This is a thousand years of dark torture.

In order not to allow himself to be sealed in bandages for thousands of years, maybe the anti-star spirit plan will also be prepared?

If you really get sealed in a bandage, you can't tell.

"Haha→ ha→ haha? Adul? Are you a grandmother's footwrap? ”
