Lux's Farewell

Chapter 776 [0764] Surprise change in restricted area
Completely different from Lux, Ne'zuk is not a benevolent guy. Although he also has a heart of gratitude, he doesn't have any sympathy or compassion for the poor.

I hope that everyone has magic, and it is not due to the hardships of my childhood.

What Nezuk expects from everyone is like a dragon. Specifically, it should be "if you can do better, you should do better"—since the magic marsh frog can appear in the orphanage children's supplementary food list, and If it can appear among the signature dishes of high-end restaurants, then it should be the latter.

Others say that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", but for Nezuk it is "the greater the potential, the greater the ability should be".

Everyone is like a dragon, not in order to get rid of the difficult life, but since you can be like a dragon in the sky, you should be like a dragon in the sky!
With this kind of thinking, Ne'zuk is often ruthless. If Lux has the opportunity to meet her senior brother, she will be surprised at how extreme Ne'zuk is.

That's why Nezuq is called "more Karya than Karya".

So, when Kalya realized that Legacy of Kalya's essence was harnessing the power of the Void, he quickly accepted that fact.

Therefore, when he heard that Ne'Zuk had cooperated with Zilan, and read Ixtar's records about Ne'Zuk, Kalya didn't even feel the slightest surprise in his heart.

He knew Ne'Zuk all too well.

In Kalya's eyes, Nezuk is like himself who has never met Setaka. He has no worries and is not someone who has followed Shurima all the way. He is willing to devote his whole life to Shurima. , not because he loves everything about Shurima, but because Shurima represents the most advanced politics and culture in Runeterra.

And when Kalya sealed herself and the Shurima Empire collapsed, Ne'zuk would not have the slightest nostalgia for the warm afterglow of the setting sun. He would only try to build Ixtar into a city that never sleeps.

Judging by Karya's experience in Ixtar, Ne'Zuk almost succeeded.

Under the maintenance of the Tower of Elements, inside the Ixtal element gradient barrier, with the spread of the original axiom, the Ixtal people have indeed achieved "everyone is a spellcaster".

But in the end Nezuk failed.

Maybe he thought about blazing a different path from the Shurima Empire, but in the final analysis, the combination of the restricted area and the Tower of Elements is not fundamentally different from Shurima's previous sun disc and magic net.

When he heard the name of Kalya's Legacy, Kalya immediately thought of the young man who shouted "everyone is like a dragon" amidst the laughter of the crowd.

Then, he thought of the history he had read recently, and remembered the beautiful love between Ne'zuk and the last princess of the Shurima Empire recorded in many novels and unofficial histories.

Kalya didn't know what Ne'zuk was thinking when he chose the name "Legacy of Kalya".

But what is certain is that in the last moments of his life, he should have realized many things that he had subconsciously ignored in the past.

After Kalya sealed herself, Nezuk finally experienced the feeling of bearing pressure, right?
Thinking about it, under Kieran's curious eyes, the look of disappointment on Kalya's face gradually faded, replaced by a relieved smile.

"Nezuk, you bastard." He lowered his head and shook his head lightly, "What an idle erha!"

........................

While Karya and Kieran were still rushing to the penalty area, another group of uninvited guests had already arrived at the outpost outside the penalty area.

This is a group of people holding a special pass for inspectors of the restricted area, claiming to the guards of the restricted area that they are replacing Malzaha to inspect the restricted area.

Although the passes in their hands were indeed issued by Malzaha, the guards in the restricted area did not give them this face.

The inspector of the restricted area belongs to the inspector of the restricted area. Even if you have a pass specially approved by the inspector, you cannot enter and exit the restricted area at will-in this regard, the guards of the restricted area are still very responsible.

But it is a pity that these guards in charge never expected that the target of the opponent taking out the pass was not as simple as entering the restricted area. After being rejected, these people took out their weapons without warning and directly attacked the guards in the restricted area outpost.

The guards were unprepared.

After they saw the passes of these people, they thought that they really came on behalf of the new supervisors of the restricted area.

They never thought that the goal of these people was to guard the penalty area from the very beginning!
The envoys who asked with a smile a second ago what procedures are needed for a special inspection, and explained that "the new inspector has a special status, and the situation in Ixoken is a bit chaotic now, he is not willing to come out for activities", the next second It exploded on the spot.

Literally burst!

Many grotesque bugs gushed out from the envoy's body, which was split open from the chest and abdomen. They nourished the flesh and blood of the envoys. Seeing the wind grow a foot, they directly spread their chitinous wings and pounced on the guard's face.

Although guarding the restricted area has always been a job for aristocratic children, if you want to be a guard of the restricted area, you must be an intermediate elementalist at least.

It's a pity, facing the surprise attack of these void worms, the mid-level elementalist has almost no room to resist.

The elemental spells they released according to the original axioms are almost completely ineffective against these terrifying bugs!

Under Malzaha's "directed training", these Void believers who raided the restricted area have long since become living incubators for "Primary Axiom-resistant Void Worms on the plateau".

If it is "normal" elemental magic, it is difficult for a void insect to develop targeted high elemental resistance - if you want to stack magic resistance in Runeterra, you need to be targeted. There is no universal magic here. anti.

But the problem is, no matter how many types of elements these guards use, the essence of their spellcasting is the modular spellcasting of the original axiom.

This method of casting spells is indeed convenient for daily use.

But once it appears in a battle, and the original axioms used are understood, perceived, or even targeted by the opponent, the result will be doomed.

This is the situation that these penalty area guards are encountering now.

Their fighting power is not weak, and even if they are pulled over to fight against the same number of Archons, the loser is likely to be the Archons.

But the problem is that their spellcasting mode is different from that of the magicians. Their magic theory is very weak. They are purely application tools of the original axioms!
In the face of the targeted attack of the plateau's original axiom-resistant void worms, their counterattack seems to be described as weak and powerless...

Obviously those bugs are only the size of hyenas, and their shells are not too hard.

But the ice storm that was enough to crack stones fell on them, but it couldn't even slow down their actions.

This can't even be called a raid, it can only be called a terrible massacre!

The guard post in the restricted area that had been raided fell quickly before they could even issue any warning. A whole team of mid-level elementalist guards failed to make any effective resistance, and were buried in the mouth of void creatures.

After the outpost was taken down, another group of people quickly appeared. They changed into the uniforms of the guards that had been prepared long ago, found the space key from the outpost, and opened the space barrier of the restricted area in a grand manner, leading With these void worms quickly entering it.

At almost the same time, Malzaha, who was still "studying" in his office, received a special warning that the space barrier was damaged.

When he was prepared, the alarm didn't even go off, and Malzaha turned it off with his own hands.

The invasion was successful!

........................

When Kalya took Kieran through the space anchor point, bypassing the space barrier and entering the restricted area, the restricted area was already in chaos.

Although the Void believers disguised as guards were well prepared, the patrols in the restricted area were too frequent - with all the faces being unfamiliar, a patrol team soon discovered the problem.

In this case, they had to suspend the action of activating the hernia and instead deal with these nosy restricted area patrols first.

Due to the presence of void worms resistant to the axiom of the plateau, the outcome of the battle is mostly the same as that of the outpost.

After an encounter, a patrol team was wiped out.

The warning signal they desperately sent out was once again intercepted by Malzahar.

Taking advantage of this precious window of time, the followers of the void found the nearest ground hernia, and began to try to gain control of the Legacy of Carya according to what Malzahar had taught before.

In the office, Malzaha, who has studied the operating instructions for more than a month, now has a clear understanding of these Carya Legacy, figured out the operating principle of this thing, and discovered the self-destruction After the procedure, although Malzaha regretted it, he finally had to give up the idea of ​​using the hernia in the restricted area to summon the monitors.

The reason why he gave up this once and for all method was because, according to the records, the void energy contained in the earth's hernia was limited; on the other hand, it was because, regarding the backdoor to release the self-destruction program, even if it was a restricted area supervisor, There is no record at all in the level information.

Even if it wasn't for the clear records of the special rune marks on the Legacy of Kalya, Malzahar would have doubted whether they had a self-destruct program.

Since he couldn't use the hernia of the restricted zone to summon the monitors, Malzahar simply took the next best thing, using the restricted zone to cultivate a batch of powerful enough void worms for himself, and then completely detonated the restricted zone, completely destroying Ixtar.

Malzahar has figured it out clearly, if he only uses the Legacy of Kalya to accelerate the growth and replacement of the void worms, it will not directly trigger the self-destruction program.

And the reason why he chose to do this, on the one hand, was to prepare for the coming of the void in the future.

On the other hand, it is to expand the potential population base that may believe in the Void - Malzaha has discovered that the more difficult the place, the more difficult the people, the easier it is to fall into the embrace of the Void, and people like Ixtar In this kind of place, even if Malzahar himself preaches, there are very few people who are willing to open their hearts to the void over the years.

In this case, if Malzahar can destroy the Ixtar restricted area, then this country will fall into the dust overnight.

Without the elemental gradient enchantment maintained by the Tower of Elements, without the elemental power that is so full that it is almost overflowing, why does Ixtal maintain this paradise-like life?

Waiting for the life of the Ixtars to fall from heaven to hell...

At that time, there will be countless people in confusion, start thinking again, and get a glimpse of the void avenue!
In order to achieve this, he mobilized manpower through personal relationships, and took out a special species of void worms that he had cultivated for many years, sitting in the office by himself, and immediately cut off the warnings from the restricted area.

All he had to do next was wait.

Wait until the most loyal believers in the void return with full rewards!

It's just that what Malzaha didn't know was that they weren't the only group of uninvited guests who entered the restricted area today.

Just when this group of void believers killed the patrol team, took the opportunity to iteratively cultivate void worms, and collected the black stones produced by Kalya's legacy, Kalya and Kieran finally entered the restricted area smoothly.

They are not in the same direction as the Void Believers, but Carya, who has realized the problem, did not prepare the magic experiment immediately, but chose to work with Kieran to explore the situation in the restricted area.

Then, as they expected, they found a group of void believers and a group of void worms in a corner of the restricted area.

When discovering these people, both Kalya and Kilan breathed a sigh of relief - what they feared most was that these believers in the void would directly trigger the self-destruction system of Kalya's Legacy. In that case, even if they If you arrive as soon as possible, you may not be able to make it in time.

But now what...

These void believers did not even see the enemy, they were stagnant in place as if they had been cast a immobilization spell.

And those void worms with extremely high resistance to the original axiom, like insects sealed in amber, stagnated in place in an instant.

Then, a gust of wind blew, and countless yellow sand that appeared out of thin air was swept up by the wind. When the wind stopped and the sand settled, the Void Believers and Void Worms had disappeared into the yellow sand.

"It's really clean." Kieran seemed very satisfied with Kalya's spell, "So, do you want to try it?"

"Hurry up." Kalya nodded, "The patrol team will not appear here for at least a quarter of an hour. If you work harder, maybe I can try it out."

"Did you really try it out?" Kieran couldn't help but grabbed his pure white beard, "If the trial is wrong, I'm afraid we will end together."

"Don't worry." Kalya shook his head, "These void lackeys have already helped me complete a lot of preliminary work, as long as I'm careful next time, nothing will go wrong."

Although Kieran has a deep research on time, he has almost no understanding of advanced elemental magic and monoliths, so he just nodded in the end, and then opened his arms.

An invisible ripple rippled.

Wherever the ripples went, a giant time lock completely enveloped Kalya and several of Kalya's legacy around him.

　Carya's small classroom · There are tricks to win without tricks:
　　In Runeterra, spells are difficult to completely counteract, and most counterspells in actual combat are interrupted spellcasting.

　　However, due to the modular casting characteristics of the original axiom, the magic of the original axiom has a natural "counter-curse".
