At this moment, Ruiz was somewhat helpless in his heart.

Originally, he sensed that a seal he had set up in a basement in Demacia had been broken, and he remembered that it contained the soul of a dark spawn.

So I thought about coming back to take a look, but along the way, there were always various things delayed.

He was like a hard-working old farmer, diligently cutting the wheat, and cutting one after another.

I was about to arrive at the royal capital of Demacia, and I thought I could rest, but who would have thought that I would encounter this again.

He felt that he was born to work hard.

And now, he must take seriously the demons in this town who are about to wake up.

This guy is so troublesome that he feels quite a headache.

Fortunately, the three people in front of him don't seem to be simple.

After thinking about it, Ruiz spoke: "See Your Highness, my name is Ruize, and people like to call me Wandering Mage. ”

He felt that he was a little famous in the Land of Runeterra, but in a place like Demacia, he was probably average.

After all, the ban on demons has just been lifted here, and this is indeed a grand reform, and the initiator is the young man in front of him who even he can't see through.

It will obviously take some time from the lifting of the ban to the spread of his fame.

"I've heard of you, the famous wandering mage, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lu Qi showed a look of surprise and stepped forward and enthusiastically stretched out his hand.

At this time, he saw Ruiz's mood, as if he had met a meat bun when he was hungry, and he couldn't be said to be excited.

After all, this purple sweet potato head is notoriously powerful, and is known as a walking secret art book.

With him, Lu Qi can finally experience the sense of security brought by others to the paid Detic.

Ruiz didn't expect Luqi to be so enthusiastic, looking at him as if he had really heard his name, and at the same time a strange feeling rose in his heart.

For some reason, there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

But I can't say it, it's like a fish in my throat, and I always feel that something important is missing.

But soon he was overwhelmed by Lucci's enthusiasm and forgot about it.

Lux blinked and looked at Ruiz as if a powerful guy had arrived.

"What does the mage think about this demon?"

Lucci was quick to get down to business.

Fortunately, he has a hidden god, hiding the rune fragments and demonic power in his body.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be happy to see Ruiz at this time.

As a well-known wandering mage in the Land of Runeterra, Ryze also has a great mission to find all the runes of the world and keep them safe from falling into the wrong hands.

When Lu Qi inexplicably absorbed the first rune and felt uneasy in his heart, it was actually this mage that he wanted to meet the most.

With him, this problem can be easily solved.

But now, he doesn't really need it.

The runes are not a bomb to him, but a hole card that can work on multiple occasions.

As he gained a deeper understanding of the power of runes, he became more and more comfortable with them. This also reduces the risk of power getting out of control, and so far, all three runes have stayed safe in his mental space, and there has never been any sign of losing control.

With Ezez's character, if it is discovered that he has three rune fragments in his body, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble for nothing.

Lu Qi didn't want to conflict with him, so it was difficult to use the power of the runes until he had to.

At this time, Ruiz heard the words and said in a deep voice: "This matter should not be underestimated, the demon sleeping here is called fear, and it is the oldest demon with terrifying power. ”

"Sleep."

Lu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said, "No wonder it didn't shoot directly." ”

"Not bad. These crows were only a sign before he woke up, for its very existence was once again recalled. ”

"And when he wakes up completely, the whole town will be his food for fear." ”

Hearing his words, Lu Qi was slightly shocked in his heart: "Because its existence itself is remembered again?" ”

Ruiz nodded: "Yes, someone is aware of its existence, and the moment the thought is generated, it has already attracted its attention, otherwise it would not have attracted a flock of crows." ”

Lu Qi couldn't help but look down and think, feeling that this conceptual ability was terrifying.

If you think about it this way, is he the one who attracted the crows?

Because in the whole town of Jinpo, I am afraid he was the only one, who thought of the existence of Fedetik in the afternoon.

Did just the thought of it directly catch Federtic's attention?

Thinking of this, Lu Qi looked up and asked, "Is there any way to deal with him?" ”

"Nope."

Reze replied quickly, as if he had an answer already in place, and he said, "Fear cannot be killed. As long as there is fear in this world, it can live forever. ”

Lux raised her hand and said, "This is too laid-skin, that is, we can only seal it?" ”

"Yes." Rhyz looked at Lux, noticing her dazzling flash, and said, "The only way to deal with these demons is to seal them and put them to sleep again." ”

In fact, he didn't have much experience dealing with demons, after all, he was not an expert in this area.

As a result, he just met the top existence among the demons.

At this time, the sun is about to set outside, and night is coming.

Ruiz glanced outside and said in a solemn tone: "Time is running out, the moment the sun completely sets, it will wake up." ”

Lux was shocked: "So fast? ”

Luqi looked at the sunset: "I guess it's only half an hour." ”

"Once it wakes up, the whole town will be its top priority."

Ruiz was also very calm at this time, he looked at Lux: "Next, your light is important. ”

"Me?"

Lux suddenly felt a mission, and her little face couldn't help but become serious: "What am I going to do?" ”

"The role of light is not only to dispel darkness and bring light to people. More often than not, it is equally capable of dispelling fear. Fear is the first food of the demon, and the more fear it has, the stronger it becomes, and only the light can work before the darkness comes. ”

Ruiz looked at Lux and said, "I'm going to teach you a secret technique next, it's only half an hour, I don't intend to put pressure on you, but if you fail to learn, everyone outside will die." ”

"Come on!"

Lux nodded earnestly.

"Look, you can't make a mistake every step of the way." Rhyz raised his hands, his magic clinging to the surface, and he danced his arms up and down like seals, in a regular motion.

A magic circle began to emerge, with each seal, every change in the position of the hands, the light of the magic circle would become brighter and brighter, and secret patterns appeared on the magic circle.

One of the most difficult is the use of mana, and the output of mana is different in many cases.

Lux didn't blink the whole time, jot down every movement of Ryze.

When the demo was complete, Ruiz retracted his mana and asked, "How many more times?" ”

"That's enough."

Lux stepped into the plaza outside.

She took a deep breath and, without a moment's hesitation, began to replicate Ryze's previous movements.

As the magic of light worked, a circle of shimmering golden light appeared, like the dawn before darkness came, even more shocking than the one Ruiz demonstrated.

Perhaps this secret technique is suitable for the magic of light.

Ruiz watched from behind as the circle solidified, and he couldn't help but be amazed at Lux's talent, knowing that she had indeed memorized it completely.

He has traveled in the Land of Runeterras for so many years, and there are only a handful of people who have such talent.

If nothing else, just magic alone is already very rare.

Without her, Ruiz couldn't have guaranteed that he would be able to save everyone here.

Luki looked at Lux, who was surrounded by a sparkling brilliance, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Before you know it, the blonde girl who is crying will be able to take charge on her own.

At this time, as Lux completed the last step, the circle was completely condensed, and a violent light was emitted in an instant, and the sky above the town bloomed like daylight.

People looked up in amazement, only to see a golden curtain of light falling from all sides of the sky, sheltering everyone in it.

Lux couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the spell was successful, and turned her head to Lu Qi with a bright smile: "How is it?" Awesome, isn't it? ”

"Amazing, amazing."

Luki nodded sincerely.

"Hmph." Lux lifted her chin, smug.

Ruiz spoke up at this time: "This secret technique can temporarily resist the invasion of fear, but it is not a long-term solution. ”

Lu Qi thought slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Not bad." Ruiz looked out of town and said, "The best way to fight fear is to face it." Only by taking the initiative can we find opportunities. ”

Lu Qi nodded, "I think so too." ”

Federtic's abilities are too terrifying, and if he is not sealed here, when he escapes elsewhere, it will inevitably evolve into a catastrophe.

"There must be two necessary conditions to seal it."

Ruiz looked at the three of them at this time and said, "First, find its name." It is fear itself, but fear is not its name, and the real name is the key to affirming the existence of demons themselves. But at the same time, it is also their weakness.

The second, find its body, if it weren't for it, the seal would be meaningless.

I have a secret technique to seal it, but I've never tried it. Without these two preconditions, our win rate against it is basically zero. ”

There is no way, because what they are fighting now is the ten major demons that can be called the conceptual level.

It was born even earlier in the days of Ryze's cognition, and was the first fear born in the world.

With this condition, it is almost invincible.

In Ryze's memory, hundreds of years ago, there was a country that was destroyed by the Ten Demons.

That demon was the embodiment of hatred, and its hatred broke through the sky and destroyed a nation in a short time.

So many people died tragically, attracting another of the top ten demons, death.

There seems to have been a big battle between the two demons, and when Ryz rushes to the scene, he sees only a suffocating dead silence, and later loses news of the two demons.

But for sure, they must still exist in a corner of the Runeterra.

"But we still have a chance. The name of the demon is usually accompanied by it, and just trying to find its name often comes with great danger. ”

Ruiz thought that saying this news would hit the two young people in front of him.

He has been through a lot more than they have in the thick books of history, so he can still be optimistic in this desperate situation.

But to his surprise, the two young people in front of him didn't show a trace of fear.

"Maybe I know its name."

Luki spoke.

"What?" Ruiz thought he had misheard.

"I know its name." Lu Qi removed maybe two words this time.

This obviously hit his profession, so he naturally didn't panic.

And the reason why Lux is not panicking is simpler, because she sees that Lucky's is not panicking, so she is not panicking.

As long as Lu Qi was there, she didn't know how to write the word fear.

"You know its name?"

No matter how calm Ruiz is, he can't remain calm at this time, and his face is moved.

He couldn't figure out how Luffy knew the name of the Dreaddemon.

"Actually, I have eyes that can see the demon's real name." Lu Qi came casually, and under Ruiz's incredulous eyes, he said calmly, "It was because I saw its name in the afternoon that it attracted its attention." ”

"Are you kidding?" Ruiz didn't think the joke was funny.

"Not really." Seeing that he didn't believe him, Luki told a few stories that added credibility.

For example, when dealing with Morteng, Evelyn, and Tam, he gained an advantage precisely because he knew the names of the other party.

Lux nodded her head to confirm it.

Although it was a bit outrageous, Ruiz finally chose to believe it, and there was another reason why he believed it.

"It's good news, we just need to find its body."

He exhaled and looked at the setting sun, where only the last bits of the sun were exposed, and it would be completely set in a few minutes at most.

At that time, it will also be the moment when that demon wakes up.

The group decided to leave immediately, and before leaving, they informed everyone in the town not to leave the square.

Soon, in the last few seconds of the sunset, several people also stepped out of Lux's radiance circle.

Inexplicably, a cold wind blew, and the coldness all over the body rose at once, and the uninhabited town looked extremely gloomy in the dark night.

Lux raised her hand, emitting a burst of brilliant light that enveloped the four of them, dispelling the chill and bringing light.

Ruiz is glad to have such a companion here today, otherwise he alone would be enough to eat a pot.

"Speaking of which, how are we going to find it?"

Lux asked quietly.

"It's the primordial fear of the world," Reze replied, "without a mind or concept of the world. He only knows how to create the fear of any living being, so he will definitely find it himself. ”

The light on Lux's body does not make fear fearful, and its almost insatiable desire will definitely want to swallow even the light.

As long as it wants to taste the fear in the hearts of a few people, it will definitely appear.

On the roofs of the surrounding houses, a few crows fell, quietly, staring at a few people with only a pair of red shining eyes.

This means that the demon of fear has set his sights on them.

The four of them walked down the street, vigilant all around. However, at that moment, they were surprised that a scarecrow suddenly appeared in front of the road.

It just appeared in people's field of vision so suddenly, without any appearance process.

An inexplicable sense of horror emerges!

I saw that the scarecrow was holding a rusty scythe in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand, and his body and appearance were just ordinary scarecrows in the farmland.

"Hello."

The strange sound suddenly sounded, extremely hoarse, like a broken knife sliding on a rusty iron plate, and the moment it sounded, it made people feel a pain in the brain.

Luki shot an arrow, and the powerful force exploded on the scarecrow, blowing it into powder on the spot.

However, in the next second, terrifying voices rang out from all around.

"We're going to find its name"

"The next thing is to find its body."

"Your light is important."

"My name is Ryze. Wandering Mage"

Strange voices rang out from all directions, clearly the words that several people had talked about before, although they were the same, but those voices felt more like hard squeezed out, like the kind of old and rusty iron cage, crunching, choking, rattling, clattering, distorted and eerie.

There were also more crows around, and there was a strange noise in the dark alley.

Lux raised her hand, and the light shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings.

Suddenly, one by one, the strangely shaped scarecrows stood in place, their bodies began to twist, and they swelled hideously, and grew monstrous faces, those faces were completely crooked and twisted burlap faces, and their mouths were spitting rusty iron fangs.

The slender legs supported the outstretched body, like a strange species, and the cage also changed, becoming eerie.

There were hundreds of crows fluttering in it, and just one glance at it, suddenly an even darker darkness began to spread from these cages.

These darkness, once overpowering the light released by Lux, was darker than its own darkness, obscuring all colors.

And then, the eyes, many eyes, scarlet and cold, appeared in the darkness and stared at the people like that.

The four had to come closer, and the darkness came from all sides, trapping them.

"I'm not sure what it's capable of, but there's only one thing to remember, face your fears!"

Reze's magic was already working, and he tried to attack the darkness, but to no avail.

No attack was effective, including Lux's light, which seemed so weak in the face of darkness for the first time.

She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, her light had never been invincible, but it would be defeated by the darkness.

But she quickly picked herself up again, knowing that her light was especially important at this moment.

She took a deep breath, gathered her consciousness, and shone brighter with the swing of her staff.

It seemed to be in conflict with the darkness that enveloped it.
