"It is born out of fear, and fear is its power. Do not be afraid, once you are afraid, it will always be suppressed by it. ”

Ruiz's hands were sealed, and the energy of arcane magic surged in the air, turning into several talismans and falling on several people.

"The way to fight fear is always to face it head-on."

Seeing that Lux's resistance was becoming more difficult, Ruiz's speech speed also increased a lot.

"Remember."

He wanted to say something more, but the darkness had fallen without warning, and suddenly there was only one person left in his world.

However, because of the relationship between the previous talisman, the four of them can have a certain perception of the rest of them at this moment.

This will be their only guide in the dark.

Ruiz was working with magic at the moment, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

"Ryze, Ryze! Give it to me! ”

The angry and suppressed voice sounded, so familiar that Ruiz couldn't help but be stunned.

The scene around him had changed long since he hadn't noticed.

He stood in a large hall, holding a rune stone that shimmered red in his hand, the World Rune.

"Give it to me!"

A stern and angry voice came from behind him: "You can't control the power of the world rune, don't be devoured by it!" ”

Ruiz turned around and saw an old man frowning and glaring, looking very angry. His face and eyes were so familiar, and the appearance of his gray hair made Ruiz nostalgic.

This is his teacher, Tyrus.

Seeing that Ruiz did not react, Tyrus changed his expression again, and persuaded bitterly: "I told you, don't be fooled by its power, Ruiz. I'm sure you can, give it to me. ”

Ryze felt like something was missing, as if there was some sort of disconnect in his brain's memory.

He couldn't remember his current situation.

Just seeing the teacher's face, it was so touching.

Watching him slowly walk towards him, while persuading himself to calm down, Ruiz subconsciously reached out and handed over the rune in his hand.

Tyrus breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face: "I knew it was okay, its power was too dangerous, and if it was treated with caution, the Land of Runeterras would one day be destroyed by this power." ”

This passage was familiar to Ryze, who had been told so countless times, and who had seen the destructive power of the runes firsthand.

Tyrus was the most respected person in his life, so there would be nothing wrong with handing over the power of the runes to him.

Seeing that Tyrus reached out to take the rune, a voice rang out in Ruiz's heart.

Wrong

Something is wrong.

A strong sense of disobedience welled up, and Ryze immediately withdrew his hand and took a few steps back.

Tyrus's figure froze in place, his expression froze, and he frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

Ruiz shook his head: "I can't give it to you, you've long been lost in the power it promised. ”

"What kind of joke are you talking about? How could I be lost? Tyrus still frowned, and shouted angrily: "Don't mess around, give it to me!" ”

Reze didn't do so, just looked at Tyrus.

In the next second, Tyrus's expression suddenly became distorted: "Since that's the case, then I'll take it myself!" ”

In an instant, his body exploded with violent power, and a powerful energy swept Ruiz out on the spot, and the runes in his hands also came out of his hands.

Rhy got up from the ground and saw that Tyrus's body was surrounded by the energy of multiple runes, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

"Why can't you understand me?"

He asked angrily, and as he raised his hand, the furious runic power struck directly at Ryze.

Ruiz instinctively got up to dodge, but in his heart he felt that the situation was very bad.

Tyrus actually collected five world runes before he knew it?

"There's no point in continuing to play the role of lobbyist in front of the power-only ignorant, why don't you understand?"

Tyrus's face was no longer peaceful, and he stared at Ryze with a twisted gaze, "Only I can change the status quo, as long as I have all the runes, then no one can use the runes to destroy the Runeterras!" Someone who didn't understand me had to send him to die! ”

His furious force made the hall tremble, and countless massive rubbles fell from above, burying Ruiz below.

Tyrus turned around with a cold and gloomy expression.

In the next second, a stream of azure arcane energy exploded from the pile of rubble, and as Tyrus turned around, he saw Ruiz surrounded by blue lightning with a resolute expression.

"The power of runes should not be controlled by any one person. Your path is destined to be wrong, so I'm here to stop you, even if you do it again. ”

He said in a firm tone, and he remembered.

At this moment, he is facing the fear in his heart, and if he is overwhelmed by fear, then he will never turn over.

"yes, let's try it."

Tyrus sneered.

"Laxana! You're skipping class again! ”

A roar of rage.

Lux opened her eyes in surprise and saw the angry face of her mother, Augesha.

At home, everything around me is so familiar.

She clutched her head, a tingling sensation hit, and she always felt that something was missing.

"Don't pretend to give me a headache, why are you skipping class?" Ogsha looked at Lux, and her stern gaze softened a little: "Is the magic in your body out of control again?" ”

Lux couldn't help but be stunned, she felt the magic in her body, and couldn't help but feel a little at a loss: "Like, it seems to be." ”

"What is it like?" Ogsha sighed, and raised her hand to stroke her head with some distress: "It's getting harder and harder to control, I want to find you an expert in this area, maybe this time it will be better." ”

A sense of trepidation rose in Lux's heart, and she finally fell silent, intending to let her mother arrange it.

It wasn't long before Ogsha walked into the living room with a man dressed in black, wearing a silver half-face-covering mask and a gray stone on her chest.

Forbidden Demons.

Seeing her, Lux's heart couldn't help but be clouded, since she was a child, she was most afraid of meeting the forbidden demon.

"Rest assured, she is absolutely her own. She may have a way to help you. ”

Ogsha looked at Lux with a soft expression, "Listen to her, and you will be able to get through it soon." ”

"Hmm"

Lux nodded uneasily, but her heart grew more and more frightened.

She felt something was wrong.

Then she saw the Forbidden Demon slowly approach, take a bottle of potion from his pocket, and uncork it.

At the moment when the bottle of medicine was handed over, the sense of disobedience in Lux's heart rose to the peak, and she instinctively pushed away the forbidden demon's hand, and the potion bottle couldn't help but fall to the ground.

Ogsha couldn't help but scold: "You girl! ”

"No, no"

Lux felt that her headache was getting worse, and she kept talking to herself, always feeling that something was wrong, and there was only confusion in her beautiful eyes.

It shouldn't be like this.

Something seemed to flash through her mind, as if it was a person, it was very important, but no matter what, she couldn't think of who he was.

This feeling is so uncomfortable, it's like a piece of my heart has been dug out.

Lux turned around and ran, leaving behind her mother and the forbidden man, and ran out into the street like crazy.

Pedestrians passed by, people came and went, looking at Lux who was acting strangely, and cast strange glances.

Lux looked at everything around her, this was the street of the royal capital, everything was very familiar to her.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and several demon seekers walked by in the distance, as well as behind her. Then she saw a notice on the wall that strictly forbade mages.

Forbidden Demons, now Demacia, is strictly forbidden demons.

A bad feeling welled up in her heart.

At this time, the worst happened, and the magic in her body began to stir.

"The shadow is not seen by the light."

She hurriedly calmed down, kept chanting the spell to stabilize the magic, and hurriedly wanted to leave.

However, the more she did this, the more obvious the restlessness of the magic became, and finally, she could no longer suppress it, and a dazzling flash of light appeared.

"Ahh

"It's a mage!"

"There's a mage here!"

"Come on!"

In an instant, countless people saw this scene, and a scream rang out.

The movement alarmed the Demon Seekers, their eyes staring like jackals, and then they took a stride.

Lux felt that everything was out of control, and she looked around anxiously, not thinking too much, and ran away.

With more and more demon seekers in pursuit, Lux escaped for the time being with her knowledge of the terrain, hiding in the sewers until it was dark, and then found a cloak and quietly went out into the street.

She had to go home, she had to go to her mother.

There were more demon seekers patrolling the streets, and she saw the last thing she wanted, and her wanted notice was hung on the wall.

The young lady of the crown guard family turned out to be a mage.

She became the object of everyone's spit, and she finally damaged the honor of the crown defender.

To make matters worse, she didn't know how to face the rest of the day.

Where does she go from here?

Confused and frightened, Lux had good luck along the way, dodging the search of several demon seeker queues and coming to the familiar aristocratic area.

As she passed by an empty courtyard in the dark, the sense of disobedience came back again.

She looked at the overgrown yard that had been vacated for a long time, and always felt that she wanted to think of something, but she couldn't remember it.

She didn't have much time to think about it, she had to go home.

However, just as she came to the distance from the gate of the corona's house, she suddenly stopped.

There were a dozen demon seekers with torches in their hands at the door, and Augesha was standing at the other end of the door, being questioned.

"I don't know where she went, but if she returns, I will definitely fully cooperate with the Demon Seeker, and the Crown Guard family promises not to tolerate the mage again."

Hearing Augersha's words, Lux couldn't help but be stunned, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.

She turned away, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.

She couldn't drag her family down any longer, but if that was the case, she would have lost her last place of refuge.

Perhaps she didn't control her footsteps, and a demon seeker with a keen sense of hearing saw her figure disappear around the corner: "There's a situation over there!" Come and check it out! ”

Hearing the movement behind her, Lux didn't think much about it, and ran wildly.

She was finally exposed, and more and more demon seekers were chasing her, and even the knights of the kingdom joined the queue to hunt her down.

The appearance of a mage in the ranks of the nobles is a contempt and humiliation for the royal family, and it will never be tolerated.

In the course of the pursuit, the battle was inevitable.

When it comes to magic, Lux is a novice who doesn't know how to use it, but as the light shines out, she repels two waves of pursuers.

But because of this, she was pursued by more powerful characters.

Through a crack in the sewers that connected to the woods outside the city, Lux escaped from the royal capital, not knowing where to go, but the white colossus stood.

She ran to the feet of the Colossus, the only thing she could think of as the last thing she could think of, and she raised her hand to inject magic into the Colossus: "Galio, wake up, please." ”

Seeing the Colossus for a long time without reacting, her tone was almost pleading, but in the end she still failed to wake up Galio.

Could it be just an ordinary stone statue?

Feeling desperate as the last hope vanished, Lux turned to see a large amount of fire in the forest.

It was her pursuer.

There was no way for her to escape.

Lux didn't understand why things were the way they were, she had everything happily, but in the blink of an eye, it completely collapsed.

Her body leaned against the stone statue, sliding down weakly, the cold swept over her body, despair, fear, and helplessness welled up in her heart.

The pursuers finally came, and her brother, her friends, her parents, and her aunt, and many, many others, all looked at her with the same eyes.

The last thing she wanted to see and what she feared the most finally happened.

She is hated by everyone, abandoned by everyone, and in this world, she no longer has anything to rely on.

Tears slipped down her cheeks, she didn't want to, but she could only watch it happen.

Darkness loomed over her, robbing her of the last rays of light, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed, and deep despair spread like a tide.

As if falling into an endless ocean, she could only watch her body continue to sink towards the abyss.

She seemed to have forgotten something, as if she had forgotten someone, someone who should never have forgotten, someone who would never abandon her.

But she couldn't remember, it was clear that the face was so close, her eyes were full of tears, and her heart hurt as if it had been pierced.

It's so painful, it's so uncomfortable, it's almost suffocating.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Lux felt so tired and didn't have any strength in her body, she wanted to give up. She let her body fall towards the endless abyss, and her tears dissipated as bits of fluorescent.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

An incomparably familiar voice suddenly sounded.

The blurry face flashed through her mind again.

A glimmer of dawn suddenly rose in her heart, and the dim light kept pouring out, flowing towards her whole body.

Something seemed to flash before her eyes, and she was lying on a warm back, relaxed and happy.

In the night sky, brilliant fireworks exploded, lighting up her world.

At that moment, she was very happy.

followed by a smile, obviously a smile that was very badly beaten, but at this moment, it brought her courage.

It's not time to give up.

Lux didn't know where the strength came from, gritted her teeth and stood up, the light in her body was rejuvenated at this moment, and her eyes flashed brightly.

Then, the face became somewhat clearer, revealing her familiar features.

She remembered.

That's her. Favorite people.

Finally, the girl's eyes looked at all the people who surrounded her, and a staff appeared in her hand, and her eyes were determined: "You used to be the thing I feared the most, but now it is not worth my fear." ”

The best way to combat fear is to face it.

In the next second, the staff lit up with a dazzling and brilliant light.

The darkness retreated, and the world collapsed, shattering like a mirror.
