Chapter 214 Ways to Deal with Demons

Li Lin and Caitlin helped the dazed Valentina arrive in front of Heimerdinger's office.

The office door was only ajar, and they heard the commotion inside before they even entered the room.

As soon as Li Lin opened the door, he and Caitlin were shocked by what they saw.

Books of all kinds were piled up like hills and occupied every corner of the small office.

Heimerdinger, Victor, his assistant Skye, and a dozen students whom Li Lin didn't know, were quickly looking through various books.

Li Lin quickly walked to Heimerdinger who was sitting in front of his mini desk, "Professor..."

He was flipping through a very thick ancient book with slightly yellowed pages that looked a bit old, and said without raising his head:

"Oh yes, yes, my boy, have you found any clues?"

"Uh, I'm Li Lin, professor."

"Li Lin...oh yes, Li Lin!"

It took Heimerdinger a few seconds to react, and he immediately raised his head, lifting the small templeless glasses on his nose, and his face lit up.

"My child, you are finally back!"

"Professor, Kate and I brought Professor Zindero."

Li Lin staggered half of his body, allowing Heimerdinger to see Caitlin and Valentina clearly standing at the door.

"Professor Zindero's condition is very serious." He said, "The nightmare has already followed its path."

"I saw it this afternoon when I visited Professor Zindero."

Heimerdinger's eyes flashed with solemnity, "So, I quickly asked Victor to use the Hex Flying Door technology to transmit the relevant classics in the library to my office."

"Have you found any relevant records? For example...how to deal with that nightmare?"

"Unfortunately, most of the records of the Rune War have been artificially erased, and many people even regard the war that destroyed the world and almost exterminated humanity thousands of years ago as a fabricated legend.

"Not to mention the Shadow War, it is not as well-known as the Rune War, and there are only a few records about it.

"Perhaps the shadow mages back then believed that demons should not be known and remembered by people. There is not even an incident or name for this nightmare demon in the classics."

With that said, Heimerdinger turned around and flipped through dozens of pages of the classics placed on his desk, then waved to Li Lin, telling him to bend down and look at the place he was pointing to.

"Look here, I read dozens of books all afternoon, plus the classics that the students read. Only this line in this book among the hundreds describes that the shadow mage teamed up to seal an evil spirit that devours nightmares. .”

Heimerdinger shook his head and sighed, "Without relevant records, it will be difficult for us to take corresponding measures."

"But don't you think you have witnessed the Rune War? You should know about this, right?" Li Lin was confused.

Heimerdinger blew his beard and said angrily: "That was a war sweeping the world, kid. We must have returned to Bandle City when it first broke out."

Li Lin: "..."

Then you said that you witnessed the Rune War, and your relationship experienced a beginning and then ran away...

He shook his head slightly, not prepared to continue on this irrelevant topic.

After thinking for a while, Li Lin continued: "In Ionia, we have an evil spirit called Azakana. They can suck the host's emotions through parasitism and transform into different forms of demons when they reach adulthood."

"I have heard of that kind of existence. When I went to Ionia to study hundreds of years ago, I met people who were swallowed by Azakana, and I also studied them a little.

"That kind of monster has no form and can only exist in the spiritual realm. It basically cannot affect the material realm unless it passes through someone's negative emotions and then attaches to them..."

Heimerdinger frowned, and a glimmer of light flashed in his emerald eyes, as if he had a clue.

This nightmare spawned by shadow magic seems to be similar to Azakana?

"They are not invincible."

Li Lin continued to add: "As long as you know the true name of each Azakana, you can temporarily expel it...

"Of course, if you want to completely eliminate it, you will need to use some special means."

He raised his hand and looked down, and a blue-white light appeared slightly in his palm.

Call a demon by its true name and their weaknesses will automatically be revealed.

With just a little magic, it is not difficult to expel it from the material realm or even "kill" it.

It just so happens that Hex Technology uses technology to control magic.

What's more, his armor's energy supply device is still a Hex core made of concentrated primitive crystal.

Heimerdinger stroked his white furry beard and nodded, "If this is the case, then it will not be difficult to save Professor Zindero from the nightmare."

But problems arise.

"But the nightmare's true name is not recorded in Piltover's classics."

"This is not a problem." Li Lin smiled confidently, "I know the real name of the nightmare. If you can let me wear this armor and enter the spiritual realm, I can solve it."

From what he understood, Nocturne might not be Nightmare's real name.

But it doesn't matter, because he has "data-based thinking" and can completely reveal its true name.

Except for Fiddlesticks, the leader of the ten demons, born from the first scream of fear in a creature, and the incarnation of the fear of all creatures in Rune Land, Li Lin is really not afraid of other demons.

Because apart from chanting their true names, to deal with them, you only need to control your emotions.

As for Tam Kenzie, the incarnation of greed, you only need to suppress your greed and not make deals with it. It can't even do anything to an ordinary sailor without extraordinary abilities.

For Evelyn, the incarnation of pain, she only needs to control her desire and not "please" with it. Then it will not be able to obtain pain through a certain person and will not list it as its goal.

For the secret incarnation of Ramor, as long as you understand the secret hidden in its heart, even the mortal Noxian leader Jericho Swain can easily control it and gain its power.

As for Nocturne, who is not as good as these original demons in terms of age or quality, and cannot even physically descend into the material realm.

As long as it doesn't fall into the nightmare it creates, dominated by fear, there's nothing it can do.

"Oh?" Heimerdinger stared at Li Lin with a serious expression, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

After a pause of two or three seconds, he frowned and said in a serious tone: "Child, this kind of thing is not only related to the fate of Professor Zindairo, but you can't joke about it."

"I'm serious, professor." Li Lin and Heimerdinger looked at each other, "This is the only way to save Professor Zindaro."

"I have always felt that science can reach the level of magic and be omnipotent, but this is the first time that I have faced off against a demon head-on."

Heimerdinger's voice was sharp and worried, "I can see that your power armor has been upgraded, but this is dealing with a demon and your life is at stake."

"I have confidence."

I need Valentina's miniature Runeterra technology to prevent her from being devoured by Nocturne.

Moreover, if I defeat Nocturne, even if I can't kill it, I should be able to get a lot of skill points and experience rewards.

Li Lin added in his heart.

"Although the boundary between the spiritual realm and the material realm in Piltover is not as fragile as Ionia, with the devices I have studied before, it is not a problem for you to enter the spiritual realm with your physical body and equipment."

Heimerdinger hesitated for a moment, "But... do you really want to do this? Fight a demon?"

"Please trust me."
